Canada Bob - 24 Jun 2004 19:49 GMT Don't know what you guys think of some of the Sponsored Links, but I can't say I'm too happy about them.
When you're stuck {or is that struck} with cancer and in a panic to start off with the last thing you want is someone telling you that carrot juice is the answer.
I don't think it's appropriate for some of the links to be promoting their snake oils to folks in a state of shock.
If it aint FDA for the successful treatment of PCa then what are they doing here ?
Folks need credible information and the last thing we need to do is to have our hopes raised and our wallets opened by products and people who {to me} seem to be here for profit rather than to help us avoid getting fitted up for wooden overcoats.
Is money more important than integrity, consideration or compassion ?
Bob.

Yes. ;-} Now, let's be serious. Snake oil dealers have been around for ages, ignore them, just ask us patients what is reasonable. Doesn't that sound humble? Research physicians really do try very hard to check out every vaguely possible claim- pay attention to them. Without my doc, I would probably have only two years or so of painful life left. The median time to death after diagnosis for untreated prostate cancer is 5 years, I have read. I've used up three, but I have a decade or so left. My arithemetic is terrible, my cancer -is- very aggressive.
Cool it and smile! ;-}
>Bob. Canada Bob - 25 Jun 2004 23:43 GMT Hello Danny...
> Yes. ;-} Now, let's be serious. It doesn't get much more serious Danny {than being diagnosed with cancer].
> Snake oil dealers have been around for ages, ignore them, just ask us > patients what is reasonable. Doesn't that sound humble? I can ignore them {sort of} but I can relate to folks who find their way in here being in a state of panic, hoping to find a "cure all". None of us are in the best frame of mind when we may be days after being diagnosed, and in fear some folks will grab at anything {potentially wasting time and money}, money some of us can throw away, but time to find credible treatments may well be at a premium for some folks, the last thing they need is to get routed down the wrong street.
> Research physicians really do try very hard to check out every vaguely > possible claim- pay attention to them. I'm not talking about Researchers Danny, I'm speaking of the quacks who attempt to persuade folks to "eat organic" "drink only distilled water" or other such blank domino's.

Glad that you had the sense to speak to someone {shall I call it} mainstream, at least you aint eating 38lbs of carrots {only the organic ones that is} per day, hoping to cure yourself.
I hope that you can see where my concern is directed at Danny, folks in a panic will {almost} believe anything {when they are scared witless}.
Sorry to hear about the aggressive nature of your cancer, I really am, what options have you considered ? HIFU ???
> Cool it and smile! ;-} I'm cool enough Danny, just a little upset that some innocent folks could waste their valuable time, money {and hopes} on quackery.
I can {and do} look after myself, but I also concern about "others", who may find themselves in need of some sensible direction.
All the Best, from Wigan, Lancashire, England.

Hello, Bob! I was trying to cheer you up. ;-} I have had surgery, radiation, and hormones, and they have all failed. I have had 24 weeks of chemotherapy, including a handfull of pills daily and an IV infusion every week, and it seems to have worked- my condition is stable for a while. I am part of a stage II clinical trial, still. We had a poor soul on this newsgroup for a while who was drinking his own urine and washing himself with it. He died a few weeks ago. Some of us don't like the idea of giving the FDA any more power than it already has, however.

c palmer - 26 Jun 2004 02:36 GMT hi danny and bob- i thought i would cheer you up with some rubbish spam ad that i saw claiming to cure cancer and placed in the prostatitis newsgroup, which is a little strange. they did change the header, but the body was the same when they posted the same message in the impotence newsgroup claiming that this braclet would cure impotence. so, for 90 dollars, not only can it make your wallet a little lighter, it can cure what ails ya!!! and i also understand that it can make you a little bit smarter too....... :))
have a happy danny and bob.

Group: sci.med.prostate.prostatitis Date: Fri, Jun 18, 2004, 3:41am (CDT-2) From: ormusalchemy@aol.com (www.LIFETECHNOLOGY.org) Life Technology Research International® Web: www.lifetechnology.org Email ormusalchemy@aol.com The Lakhovsky Coil Power Bracelet Four different functions combined in one bracelet: Aura, radio-activity, negativity and immune system. Useful for those who prefer to wear a single bracelet. A simple bracelet discovered and used by Georges Lakhovsky that reinforces the aura by calibrating the energy present in nature and transmitting it to the person wearing it. Georges Lakhovsky was a Russian engineer who had emigrated to France before World War I. In 1929, Lakhovsky published a book in French called 'The Secret of Life'. A few years later it was translated into Spanish, German, and Italian, but it was not until September, 1939 that it was finally published in London in English; precisely the month when Hitler attacked Poland and kicked off World War II. The book received almost no attention in the English press or from the North American medical establishment. What Lakhovsky discovered was simply mind boggling: He postulated that all living cells (plants, people, bacteria, parasites, etc.) possess attributes which normally are associated with electronic circuits. These cellular attributes include resistance, capacitance, and inductance. These 3 electrical properties, when properly configured, will cause the recurrent generation or oscillation of high frequency sine waves when sustained by a small, steady supply of outside energy of the right frequency. This effect is known as resonance. It's easiest to compare it with a child swinging on a playground swing. As long as the parent pushes the swing a little at the right moment (the correct 'frequency'), the child will continue to swing high and continuously. In electronics, circuits which generate these recurrent sine waves can be called electromagnetic resonators, but more commonly they are referred to as oscillators. Lakhovsky tells us that not only do all living cells produce and radiate oscillations of very high frequencies, but they also receive and respond to oscillations imposed upon them from outside sources. This outside source of radiation or oscillations are due to cosmic rays which bombard the earth continuously. This stupendous realization, achieved during the golden years of radio, not only led to a new method of healing by the application of high frequency waves, but broadened appreciation for the newly emerging field of hidden science known as Radionics or Radiathesia. When these outside sources of oscillations are in sympathy, that is they are exactly the same frequency as that produced by the cell, the strength and vigor of that cell will be reinforced and become stronger. If, on the other hand, these outside frequencies are of a slightly different frequency, rather than reinforce the cell's native oscillations, they might dampen or weaken them, resulting in a loss of vigor and vitality for that cell. The cells of disease causing organisms within an infected person, produce different frequencies than that of normal, healthy cells. For people or plants suffering from disease conditions, Lakhovsky found that if he could increase the amplitude (but not the frequency) of the oscillations of healthy cells, this increase would overwhelm and dampen the oscillations produced by the disease causing cells, thus bringing about the demise of the disease causing cells trying to set up shop in the body. If he pumped up the amplitude of the disease causing cells, their oscillations would gain the upper hand and cause the person or plant to become weaker and more ill. Lakhovsky viewed the progression of disease as essentially a battle between the resonant oscillations of host cells versus the oscillations emanating from pathogenic organisms. He initially proved his theory using plants. In December, 1924, he inoculated 10 germanium plants with a plant cancer that produced tumors. After 30 days, tumors had developed in all of the plants. He took one of the 10 infected plants and simply fashioned a heavy copper wire in a one loop, open-ended coil about 30 cm (12") in diameter around the center of the plant. and held it in place with an ebonite stake . The copper coil acted as an antennae or a tuning coil, collecting and concentrating oscillation energy from extremely high frequency cosmic rays. The diameter of the cooper loop determined which range of frequencies would be captured. He found that the 30 cm loop captured frequencies that fell within the resonant frequency range of the plant's cells. This captured energy reinforced the resonant oscillations naturally produced by the nucleus of the germanium's cells. This allowed the plant to overwhelm the oscillations of the cancer cells and destroy the cancer. The tumors fell off in less than 3 weeks and by 2 months, the plant was thriving. All of the other cancer-inoculated plants-without the antennae coil- died within 30 days. In his book, Lakhovsky shows pictures of the recovered plant after one month, 6 months, and 1 year. Three years later, with the original coil left in place, the plant grew into a very robust specimen. Taking his cue from the germanium experiments, Lakhovsky then fashioned loops of copper wire that could be worn around the waist, neck, elbows, wrists, knees, or ankles of people (or animals) and found that (given enough time) much relief of painful symptoms were obtained. These simple coils, worn continuously around certain parts of the body, would invigorate the the strength of the human cells and increased the immune response which in turn took care of the offending pathogens. At the time, when news spread of the success achieved with these "Lakhovsky Coils", many Europeans were clamoring to get their own and often had to wait for months due to the backlog .The main reasons why so many people find copper wrist bracelets effective and beneficial is because the bracelet is functioning as a Lakhovsky Coil (it's also providing minute trace amounts of copper to the body, which helps too). To achieve the Lakhovsky effect, it's important that the coil (or bracelet) is "open" and made of copper. Closed rings simply don't work. The bracelet shown can be worn on either wrist. It is useful for those who spend many hours in contact with others or who work in crowded environments. Stimulates the immune system for a major 're-activation of the body. Useful for strengthening the body's defenses from an energetic point of view, particularly when there is a change of season. This bracelet concentrates vital energies throughout the aura of the person wearing it protecting against the effects of radioactivity and static electricity. Worn for at least 6 hours a day preferably on the right wrist, it protects the aura from magnetic pollution and prevents ulcers and hypertension. It is useful in cases of stress and for those who work in contact with electrical fields like those emitted by computers. All organ systems of the body respond positively when The Lakhovsky Coil Power Bracelet is worn continuously. One way of describing the effect is to paraphrase many of our clients when they state that they feel like they have been given new batteries, which is one way of illustrating their newfound levels of health and energy.

knowledge is power - growing old is mandatory - growing wise is optional "Many more men die with prostate cancer than of it. Growing old is invariably fatal. Prostate cancer is only sometimes so."

Whew, what a bunch of ****. I wish all patients would get on this newsgroup and let us straighten them out! ( I really am a rather arrogant bastard, actually, always right! )
Beverley - 27 Jun 2004 15:44 GMT For starters this is not a sponsored anything merely an open newsgroup. That means no one monitors it. No one suppresses it. It's total free speech. That means we get the quacks on here and these peddling snake oil.
Many of us filter certain posters out. And the other good way of avoiding the junk is just delete it. Bev
