The age-adjusted percent went down by 1%. Meanwhile total deaths went
up 5,400.

Unfortunately percents don't do the dying. Family members are who
dies. So the family members of 5,400 more patients suffered and cried.

How many tears? Isn't one too many?

What until Epigenetic treatments hit in force.  The rate will start to
go down drastically.  Some think cancer will be a thing of the past in
10 years including Kurzweil.

Biotech is now starting to deliver.  Researchers were looking only at
genes for a long time.  Now they have discovered the software interface
layer (the epigenome).  Via this programmable software layer
environmental factors affect cells for the worse or better, including
causing cancers.  In principle, we should be able to reverse engineer
these processes and then re-program the software layer like a programmer
fixes bugs in operating systems like Windows.

Call me back when there is a single well-designed clinical trial showing
unequivocal evidence of meaningful benefit.

Look up a PBS special called Nova on Epigenetics. Especially the last
part with the MDS patient.  Here is the link:

There is a retired European pharmacist who has been in contact with me
through email who is quite familiar with the work of Dr. Emanuel
Revici.

On one occasion, he sent me links to two articles regarding
epigenetics to told me that it helped to confirm Revici's theories.
The articles themselves were too technical for me, but for the
pharmacist they were a clear example pointing to where Revici was
correct.

The same pharmacist had used one of Revici's discoveries to treat
hundreds of migraine sufferers, enabling them to be rid of their
migraines in about 1 to 3 minutes.

That's because cancer is mostly a disease of old people, and there are
more old people than ever.

How many more people would have died had the age-adjusted rate not gone
down?

Plenty more, although the death rate only went down about 1%.
Decreases of that small amount are subject to the vagaries of
statistics and other factors.

One article said the 2% decrease reported last year was due in large
part to the "Katie Couric" effect of lots of colonoscopies, after her
husband died about 5 years earlier.

For a real decrease in the death rate, do what New Mexico does. They
have the lowest cancer death rate in the country or close to it.
What's their secret?

Significant portions of the population eat lots of hot peppers. Not
sort of hot peppers...hot peppers.

So the real secret if you get cancer is to grate a habeneros pepper
each day and grate a garlic clove or two each day, put it on some
bread with some butter, lots of butter 'cuz it's hot, and eat it.

It worked for me. Helped me get rid of Stage 4 Cancer. And it seems to
be working a little bit for NM.

Do you have any real evidence to back this claim up?

I mean evidence backed by real science, not just your case.

The plural of anecdote is not data.

Anecdote proves nothing.  You may simply be a very lucky person whose
body reprogrammed itself and the cancer went away.  Very lucky.

Or alternatively, the person had both conventional treatment and took
supplements or other alternative treatments. The credit for the cure is
given to the alternative treatments, not the conventional treatment that
actually worked.

Nope, the ONLY treatment I used was the one I described above. You
should know better than that..I would never subject myself to a method
that would make me sicker.

As I told a lady the other day, which gave us both a good laugh, "You
gotta be healthy to get well!"

Once again, the ability to ignore a good anecdotal account is the
hallmark of the mediocre scientist.

I got lucky twice then...by reprogramming myself twice. The lesions
went away in less than a week in the first programming, so I stopped
the protocol. Then 4 came back within a few days of stopping.

So I did it again and the remaining lesions went away AGAIN.
After that, I continued with the cod liver oil for maybe six months.

I must be the best darn reprogrammer in the world to have success like
that...twice!

The failure to recognize the value of a good anecdotal case is the
hallmark of the mediocre scientist.

The evidence I have for you is that I am alive nine years later.

I was pleased to see about a year or so ago that researchers from UCLA
were able to shrink tumors 80% in mice with just one of the three
ingredients I suggest. They did it with capsaicin, the hot part of
peppers.

An 80% decrease is pretty extraordinary compared to what the FDA-crap
can do.

But that said, 80% is one thing. I shrank mine 100% in two weeks,
twice. Because the lesions disappeared in the first week only to come
back after I stopped the protocol (4 out of more than a dozen came
back). They disappeared again after about 4 days the second time.

I used freshly a tincture of freshly grated habeneros peppers, freshly
grated garlic, and emulsified cod liver oil.

The lesions never had a chance against that combination. But don't
expect any of the drug companies to rush out with their detail men to
promote the fastest cancer cure method there is, because there aren't
a lot of dividends to be paid from 50 cents worth of garlic bulbs.

What lesions?    As you know, I am prepared to look at anecdotal evidence of
cancer  cures, and so is the NCCAM, but we do require cases of sufficient
quality and quantity involving types of cancer that are normally very
predictable in their behavior.   With most anecdote the claims are invalid
even on the internal evidence e.g.
http://www.users.on.net/~pmoran/cancer/how_to_read_a_testimonial.htm  .
Care to test us out with yours?

You are not a reputable or a disinterested party. NCCAM gave Dr.
Seymour Brenner all of 5 minutes, as a perfunctory and legally
required gesture. I'm not interested in show trials.

Deal with UCLA's 80% shrinkage of prostate tumors if you want to.
Results like that should have created a groundswell of interest and
research. It should be the first topic of discussion whenever cancer
is talked about.

It was YOUR claim that I was interested in.   I have already examined
Brenner's on my web site
http://www.users.on.net/~pmoran/cancer/Brenneranecdote.htm.

So, you are not interested in revealing the details of your own cancer cure
claim?

Prostate cancer is extremely responsive to hormonal influences, even when
metastatic.  I suspect this is in some way connected to the responsiveness
of prostate cancer to so many agents when in tissue culture and animal
studies.  Any new treatments will have to prove themselves in practice.

Here here!  We need statistical evidence.  Humans have a tendency to
find a pattern in anything.  This led to mystic beliefs (and still
does).  Science was founded because clues revealed the senses and mind
itself can be misleading.

We are getting to the point were medicines will be delivered on the
molecular level with precision not imagined 20 years ago.  For this to
work, we will understand the precise mechanisms of cells and cell
systems for healthy function as well as pathology.  Let us focus here.
Once we get there, pet theories will be easily tested on a molecular
scale, and either a surprising find will celebrated or it will be shot
down.  If fact, we may have a virtual human on the Internet soon that
anyone can test his pet theory on very quickly because nature runs on
algorithms.

I am only interested in sharing it with regular people. For instance i
shared it yesterday with a man whose 80 year old father has prostate
cancer. Today the man told me his father was very interested in trying
it.

I have very little faith in the types of things you fervently believe
in because they are used to delay help rather than to foster it.

Your reply is emblematic of exactly why you're not a reputable or
disinterested source. The mice were not given hormones. They were
given capsaicin. To try to fob that off as a hormone response is
irrelevant because the mice were responding to the hot pepper compound
they were given.

I am not a petrie dish or a mouse. It worked for me when combined with
garlic and cod liver oil (for anabolic imbalances).

> PM   (PS   How's your back?)

Thanks for asking. The CoQ10 (400 mgs daily) is still working. I have
no pain 95% of the time and barely noticeable pain for maybe 15
minutes a day tops. Some days there is no pain whatsoever. I don't
walk normally, but functionally.

Meanwhile, my back is unstable. At one point I might have destabilized
it more while swimming (pushing off the wall?) because my other leg
started to misbehave. It's better now since I've quit swimming. But
bending over does aggravate it. When I'm bent over the x-ray showed a
75% spondo. Otherwise it's about 40%.

I think I will get the surgery at some point, to prevent a
distabilization of a serious nature. Also, I trust my neurosurgeon,
but a couple of the emergency room neurosurgeons have a bad
reputation.

I'm a regular people.
Please email it to callforvotes@yahoo.ca

By *it*, I mean a letter (and/or biopsy report) from a (current) mainstream doctor
(stating) the type of cancer.
And a scan showing where it has spread.
Thank you.
