For a woman carrying the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene, there is an 86% probability of developing breast cancer, regardless of whether she lives on a diet of soy, sleeps in a soy field, or carries a soy-based toy... 😠
I am not against healthy eating, but let’s be realistic: SOY HAS NOT CURED A SINGLE 😠 WOMAN SUFFERING FROM BREAST CANCER!!! Believe me, I work with these women every single day... many have turned to holistic healers or strictly followed macrobiotic diets, but if the tumor is caught in a late, advanced stage, none of it matters...
According to the WHO, breast cancer prevention consists of: 1. Primary prevention : - A healthy lifestyle (not smoking, moderate alcohol consumption, a nutritious diet focused on a MEDITERRANEAN DIET rich in olive oil and fiber, maintaining a healthy weight, and regular physical activity) 2. Secondary prevention or early detection: - Self-examinations - Regular checkups and ultrasounds - Population-wide screening (mammograms), the goal of which is to detect the tumor while it is still under 1 cm!
Therefore, early detection IS prevention... unless the people at the WHO don't have a clue? 😈
It’s long been established that the immune system plays a key role in oncogenesis (ever heard of natural killer cells acting as the body's "cleanup crew" for faulty cells, apoptosis, or other mechanisms?)...
And as we already know, cervical cancer is categorized as an STD, or a sexually transmitted disease.😈
Also, when it comes to vital statistics, don't confusemorbidity (incidence) withmortality (death rates). .
Take a look at the U.S. Census Bureau report from 2004, for instance, before making claims like that....
In recent years, almost all cancers have shown adownward trend in mortality rates, particularly regarding breast, stomach, and colorectal cancers.... To anyone with even basic knowledge, that indicates these diseases are being caught earlier while they are still in a treatable stage... The rise in morbidity might also just be an illusion caused by better diagnostic tools...
All things considered, you might want to stick to construction statistics rather than vital statistics; you'd probably be more competent in that field.😎
What kind of "age limit for cancer" are you referring to?
That concept doesn't exist. There are malignant diseases that can strike at any stage of life, unfortunately.... Anyone with even a basic understanding of medicine knows that certain tumors are specific to infancy and childhood, others are most common during adolescence, some during adulthood, and others primarily affect the elderly....
There is no such thing as a generalization here....
And mistybear4... there are certain cancers that are spread through personal contact—just look up the epidemiology of cervical cancer.😈
Little Prankster said:Could it be from hot water??? 😲 Actually, sorry... I had someone in my family deal with this, and it’s really nothing to worry about! It'll pass!
That isn't exactly helpful advice. You can't practice medicine online or over the phone. It could be nothing at all—which is most likely, such as a tiny bit of atherosclerosis, exostosis, or something else entirely. The only way to know is to have a Doctor physically examine it. 😈
mistybear4 said:6 - Haha, fair enough. But honestly, you’d definitely notice the difference between someone living on nothing but greasy burgers and someone sticking to Herbalife. 😎
Hmmmm... I’ve heard that old saying about eating like a rabbit—you know what I mean. Does that actually apply to Herbalife users at all? 🙂
jadesailor14 said:But you could act as the president from a medical standpoint. I might actually need emergency care once this therapy session is over.
Fine, I'll take that deal! And if I need emergency resuscitation equipment, I'll just grab an enema—though honestly, after this "therapy," I'll probably be leaking from both ends anyway... 🙂
It’s highly unlikely you'll find someone here who holds a PhD specifically in hematology. It's much more probable that you'd run into someone with a doctorate in Medical Sciences, focusing on the field of hematology 😈
What you actually need is an MD specializing in internal medicine with a sub-specialty in hematology. 🙂
By the way, if you're just looking to get in touch with a hematologist, isn't this a bit of an abuse of the forum? You aren't interested in the topic, you aren't sharing information, and you aren't seeking advice—you're just looking for a "connection." Maybe try Tinder instead? 😈
Besides, the simplest thing would be to just go directly to the clinic and ask a hematologist for an explanation... I'm sure nobody will turn you away.👍
Look, when are people going to finally accept that you can't cure things like autoimmune diseases, cancer, or AIDS just by eating "right"? I won't even get into what constitutes a healthy diet, because most people here don't have the slightest clue 😈 .
If medicine were as simple as 2 plus 2 always equaling 4, nobody would be dying, everyone would live for hundreds of years, and maybe even mistybear4 could actually be a doctor by now... 🤮
John Adams4 said:If my body can produce it on its own, why bother taking a supplement? How can you possibly know if your body is capable of producing a hormone if you never give it the chance to do so in the first place?
I’d love to know which organ you use instead of a brain. 😈
Try looking at a local library or checking an encyclopedia under "HORMONES." Maybe then it will click that these are essential substances required by specific organs—substances that simply have no substitute. Nature doesn't just provide everything on a silver platter...
By the way... where does this idea come from that laypeople somehow know more than doctors? And this constant push to distrust medical professionals... If a patient doesn't trust their physician, we might as well just say goodbye at the front door. And why does everyone feel the need to seek a second opinion for every little thing? It’s useful and even encouraged in complex, borderline cases, but using hormone substitution for post-op hypothyroidism prevention? Come on, people, let's be reasonable. 🙂 It's like going to a tailor to get pants made and insisting on seeing two different tailors just to make sure they don't mess up your measurements...
Well, yeah. It used to be free just recently... and NOW there's a price tag on it! I won't even get into the other "little details" surrounding it... so you tell me, which one actually works out to be cheaper 🙂
Maybe you could save some money by just spending less time online? 😈
Listen, folks, when are we going to finally realize that "home remedies" aren't always meant to be an alternative to professional medicine? I mean, if you have a thyroid issue, why would you ever choose a local healer over a surgeon at a major hospital?
Nobody is forcing you to take your medication; it’s your choice, not a mandate.🙂 But one day, you might find yourself knocking on every doctor's door in town, desperate for help... and by then, it might be too late.🙂
People need to understand that following medical advice isn't just a right—it's a responsibility toward your own health.😈
Your sperm probably has an extremely alkaline pH... what's your diet looking like? 🙂 By the way, have any girls ever complained about a strong smell or a bad taste? 😈 The scent and flavor of all bodily fluids are determined by your metabolism, including food intake and medication... Are you taking any medications or "stimulants"?
Generally speaking, Johnson & Johnson products like this should be prescription-only. But honestly, since you can pretty much buy just about anything with cash these days, most pharmacists will sell you whatever you ask for without requiring a script, including this one. That said, we shouldn't forget that this is a corticosteroid cream. Using it for more than a few days can lead to skin atrophy, discoloration, or increased skin sensitivity... 🙂
Adam Wells5 said:Haha... but where is the American version? That’s what I found when I Googled 'Hippocratic Oath'—it just spits out old historical archives from various states. If you've actually seen the official American version, why don't you post it for us? 😈
And once you do, maybe explain what you were trying to get at in the first place.
If you're struggling to follow, maybe grab a dictionary or just ask someone who actually knows the language. 😈
As for my point... it's pretty simple: a smart person sees something, their brain processes it, and they "get it." But when it comes to a fool, not even God can help them. 🙂
Adam Wells5 said:Sure, but there’s absolutely nothing written about being polite or acting professionally. There isn't a single rule stating they have to wear white coats or that we’re required to address them as "Doctor." There’s no mention of digitizing healthcare to improve efficiency, either. And heaven forbid, there isn't anything saying they actually need to get paid for their work.
I think... 🙄
It doesn't say anywhere that you should wipe your ass and flush after using the toilet, does it? 😈 But you probably do that, unlike all this verbal nonsense that clearly flows out of your mouth without any trouble at all.
As you can see above, there is nothing stating that doctors are anyone's servants or that they are required to be subservient, condescending, or flashing fake smiles like models in a toothpaste commercial 🙂
The patient's best interest isn't always aligned with what they want 😈
It seems like many people here, and elsewhere too, love to invoke the Hippocratic Oath, though I am convinced most have never actually heard or seen the original text 😈 here it is..
THE HIPPOCRATIC OATH
In entering the medical profession I solemnly pledge to dedicate my life to the service of humanity. I will maintain due gratitude and respect toward my teachers. I will practice my calling conscientiously and with dignity. My primary concern shall be the health of my patient. I will respect the privacy of those who entrust themselves to me. I will uphold, with all my strength, the honor and noble traditions of the medical profession. My colleagues shall be as brothers to me. In performing my duties toward a patient, I will not allow any considerations, such as religion, nationality, race, politics, or social class, to influence me.
I will absolutely respect human life from its very beginning. And even under threat, I will not allow my medical knowledge to be used in ways that violate the laws of humanity. I make this solemn promise, freely invoking my honor.
