In trials, people who have had damage to their nervous systems report feeling less pain, anxiety, and depression when taking pot. Most people did not feel like they were “high” either. Researchers are still hiding behind ” we still don’t know about pot’s long term effects” so don’t expect everyone to take this finding seriously….

Colo-rectal Cancer
Doctors are now saying that colon cancer, the third deadliest kind can be almost eliminated. How? By simply having a colonoscopy to detect polyps and eradicating the polyps once found. They say that it’s these polyps that will develop into cancerous tumors. My own father died an agonizing death with colon cancer, and…
Buriel Finally
On this coming Monday we are finally putting my parents ashes into their graves. I had a lot of problems with the insurance, which did just pay. I am still, and will probably always be haunted by the final days my father had to endure, and I am still asking why he had to…
Kicking a Dead Horse, Again
Sorry for bringing up this subject again, but I can’t get it out of my mind that there are people dying of cancer in hospice wards right now, and they are suffering in terrible pain, and no one is addressing that pain. Since my dad died in early December I can still hear the…

Proton Beam Radiation for Cancer Treatment

The problem with x-rays is that the tissues around the tumor get the radiation also and can be damaged even though they are healthy. Proton beams, on the other hand can be pinpointed directly…
Cancer Treatment Centers Commercial
The Cancer Treatment Centers of America sound like a wonderful place to go when you have cancer. I’m sure that everything they claim in their commercials is true and bless them for being there when people who have cancer have lost hope and confidence in their prognosis. The commercials have me convinced that if…
Why We Shouldn’t Detect Cancer Early
I am reading this article from the New York Times and I am blown away by what I’m seeing. I always was told and believed that detecting cancer early was a good thing so that treatment could be given before the cancer becomes so advanced as to metastasize and kill its victim. Unless I…
