cancer

Its not a coincidence that air and water pollution alone aren't enough to cause the aforementioned cancers, but yet some of us continue to expose ourselves to the excesses. This article makes perfect sense, in that while some cancers can be attributed to bad luck, others may be totally...

A widely used cancer survival number ("statistic") is "5-Year Relative Survival". In medical papers one often sees "median survival". Assuming the two are of the same thing - say, Stage 4 Colorectal cancer - is there a known distribution function which connects the two? One which is, perhaps...

I was unable to find a discussion here relating to 5G technology. So, I thought I'd start one. There are those who claim 5G technology emits extremely high levels of radiation and that it causes reduced fertility and cancer, etc. (If really pressed for time, begin the video below at 15:30.)...

This really sounds too good to be true. Injecting microgram amounts of two immune stimulating agents (unmethylated CG–enriched oligodeoxynucleotide (CpG)—a Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) ligand—and anti-OX40) into a tumor triggers a T cell response, specific to the tumor. This not only destroys...

One more aspect, we may need to check: In view of SR can also be a natural healing méchanism, whether it can also revert cancer cells to become normal cells? Actually, clearing killed cells in mass can lead tó heavy need of body cleaning mechanism which otherwise can also be quite harmful. So...

It almost looks to me like the defense attorney was trying to get her client off on the pretense of "heath freedom". Full article because the original is in Spanish and I thought it would be useful to translate it to English since the one article in English I found has so much less information...

Yerba mate is a South American herbal tea made by soaking ground-up Yerba leaves in hot water. It is almost as strong in caffeine as coffee and is popular in South American countries, and is sold sometimes in American tea houses. I had it at tea houses, including drinking it French Press-style...

Here is an interesting interaction of everyday common sense evaluation and genuine scientific analysis. What would appear to be a clear case of cause and effect is found to be not so under closer scrutiny. Soccer players' cancers ignite debate over turf safety...

Yes it's the Daily Mail but Noel Edmonds is claiming his invention(a mat) can cure cancer and has indeed cured him of it. Been much uproar on Twitter.:)...

Headlines all over the place today: "Study finds cell phones cause cancer in lab rats!" Here's the study: PDF of study! There's some stuff that the attention-grabbing articles aren't pointing out. This hasn't been peer reviewed. The full data isn't available. The "increased" cancer rate is...

Hello Friends, Greetings! I just came to know about this case and seems to be spreading fast:- It looks to be a factual case so may not be a fraud. Is it scientific, accident, paranormal, misconception or what? How it can be possible? I am just sceptical in it. Best wishes. Bes

Looks like there hasn't been such a thread at least not for a while. Has cancer hit you directly, or someone close? Share your story? Me: In 1993 my mother had colon cancer. Underwent surgery and chemo. Had a colostomy that was later reversed. I and my brothers then had colonoscopies and were...

The Mills of the Gods grind slowly but . . . Another cancer quack is finally being brought down (one hopes): http://thehoustoncancerquack.com/2015/10/27/stanislaw-burzynski-faces-judge-on-november-19th/

Initially just a small success, but promising, and good news for the little girl and her family. http://news.sky.com/story/1582466/doctors-shocked-by-girls-leukaemia-recovery "Doctors at Great Ormond Street Hospital say the "molecular scissors" procedure is "almost a miracle" and could be a...

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/investigations/how-safe-artificial-turf-your-child-plays-n220166 I meant to post this a few days ago. NBC News aired a report suggesting a link between artificial turf and cancer among soccer players. They found a few goal keepers who have gotten cancer, but at no...

The full list so far, from Age to Zebra Toys. Beware, extreme stupidity.

While looking into basic research on ionizing radiation's effects on cancer, I ran into a very interesting series of six 15 minute lectures on the evolutionary view of cancer. They are delivered by Professor Stearns of Yale University, and are four of a much larger series of general health...

Hey, all. I have been working for the last several months on a project to bring Burzynski to the attention of Congress. On the heels of last week's loosening on the ban on antineoplastons, the Skeptics for the Protection of Cancer Patients decided that we needed to take our case directly to...

http://nypost.com/2013/03/27/one-drug-to-rule-them-all-researchers-find-treatment-that-kills-every-kind-of-cancer-tumor/ This sounds promising. Anyone any skeptical thoughts?

I try to keep current on any new developments in immunology, and this study came across my study group yesterday: [Antioxidants accelerate lung cancer progression in mice.] Abstract: This is consistent with the body of literature to date. Both the biochemistry and in vitro research...

All, On Thursday, Tim Farley notified us that form 483s (FDA inspection notes) from an inspection at the Burzynski Clinic in March were released in the FDA's FOIA electronic reading room. I have worked up a summary of the findings and have linked to the originals...

The big, billionaire Pharma Industry is using highly unethical marketing maneuvers to stimulate their sales and reach incredible proportions in profit collection. To understand it better I invite readers to "google" a little bit trying to find the over-the-counter prices for most chemotherapy...

I invite to participate in this discussion, not with the goal of either promote or attack alternative Methods but to discuss the scientific facts behind the ideas. Remember great number of currently endorsed orthodox treatments started by either empirical, popular or traditional medicine...

The Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation's "Bust A Move" annual fundraiser for breast cancer research has created a stir by inviting anti-vaxxer nutcase Jenny McCarthy to address the event. More Here... Quoted from the cited article:

Hi again, On the good news, finished my first round of chemotherapy and have three more to go. Then...done! (Breast cancer) Here's my dilemma. I am fairly young, so I have youngish parents. My mom lives in a small town in northern MN, and is a huge member of a Lutheran church there. She knows...

OK guys, I know I haven't posted in awhile, but I need some advice. I was recently (20 Dec) diagnosed with breast cancer and will be undergoing chemotherapy for the next three months. Good news? It was caught early and is *only* a stage IIa. Bad news? It was into the lymph nodes. OK, so I am...

The following site: www.healthofwomenstudy.org/Default.aspx (referred from Army of Women: http://www.armyofwomen.org ) Is conducting a research project for the long term future, and needs volunteers. It's open to all women, regardless of whether they have cancer or not, and also to any men...

As reported a fund to care for survivors of 9/11 will now cover a range of cancers because of 1,000 cancer deaths. 1,000 cancer deaths in 70,000 people (presumably almost all adults) over 11 years. Is that really excess odds or is this political expediency?

Just seen at the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-19291258 ETA: I removed a silly question.:o What interests me is knowing the opinions about this news- it sounds almost too good to be true.
