Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / April 2006Australian herb used for Prostrate cancer
The group might find this radio broadcast on ABC radio of interest This is an interesting ethnobotanical interview about an Australian "de-tox" & anti-cancer plant. http://www.abc.net.au/centralqld/stories/s1129664.htm Gumbi Gumbi/cumbi cumbi AKA Berrigan, bitter bush, butter bush, cattle bush, cheesewood, locketbush, meemei, native apricot, native willow, poison berry tree, snotty gobbles, western pittosporum. Botanical name is pittosporum phylliraeoides. Picture? http://www.alicesprings.nt.gov.au/council/services/plants.asp?id=120 Michael Bailes Yea, but we have prosTATE cancer! > Yea, but we have prosTATE cancer! A very common mispronunciation and spelling in Australia even amongst sufferers. Another one common in Oz is expotential for exponential. And the one that really annoys me is 'seperate for separate' gggrrrrr! 2 years out from radical.. cheers PING: Netmask I'm an oz an know how to recognise and even spell "w.nker"! You qualify ;) -- Reader to complete... -- Please reply to this ng as my email adress is fake: -- Regards -- CC > PING: Netmask > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > -- CC Why? the comment I made were based on an ABC radio broadcast on common misspellings in Australia as contrasted to similar common misspellings of English in other countries. As a prostate cancer survivor, 2 years this June I give short talks to a variety of men's groups on what to expect based on my own experience. I generally open the talk with "after the prostate operation one is left a little prostrate!" it does lighten the mood a little. Quite frankly I wish I could be " a w.nker" but that aspect has not returned fully to my situation - I hope and pray you have had a better experience. |
