I just stumbled across this piece about how we need to rethink our entire approach to lifestyle if we actually want to fight cancer. It’s not just about some magic pill; it’s about a complete overhaul of how we live. The article dives into ideas similar to what David Servan-Schreiber has been preaching—that fighting cancer requires a fundamental shift in our daily habits and mindset. It’s essentially "against cancer – a new way of life." We spend so much time looking for a silver bullet in a lab, but we ignore the fact that our environment, our stress levels, and the very fuel we put in our bodies are constantly playing tug-of-war with our cells. It’s like trying to maintain a high-performance engine while pouring sludge into the gas tank and driving it through a desert storm. You can have the best mechanic in the world, but if you don't fix the input and the environment, the engine is going to fail. We need to stop treating health like an afterthought and start treating it like the foundation of everything else. It’s time to get serious about the connection between our choices and our biology.

The renowned French neuroscientist and psychiatrist Dr. David Servan-Schreiber—who famously chronicled his own battle with the disease in his book *Against Cancer – A New Way of Life*—is scheduled to give a lecture at the Mimara Institute on February 26th.

They didn't bother to mention that the lecture kicks off at 7:00 PM.

I'm heading out. I need to figure out exactly what he managed to pull off while we were just sitting around.😢Actually, he was dealing with the exact same diagnosis my mom had.

Goleo, I am so incredibly sorry. Please, be proud of yourself. You were there for her when it mattered most.

Got any new slides or sneakers on your feet lately? Well, if anyone told you those soles were solid rubber, they were straight-up lying to you.👍

There was actually a similar thread floating around here recently where some guy realized the sandals he got from his girlfriend were basically made of cheap foam rather than actual rubber.😍

Alright, I get what you're saying... so, what now🤷? If someone else came to you in your exact shoes, what advice would you actually give them? What steps are you going to take to finally get moving and stop living off everyone else😕? Honestly, it sounds like you're just terrified of reality—terrified of the fact that you're growing up and will soon have to cut the umbilical cord and stand on your own two feet. Look, just get dressed, walk over to that office building you haven't stepped foot in for ages, check their application deadlines, grab some study guides, and just commit to the grind. If you aren't ready for that, go to this site www.indeed.com and spend some actual time there. Submit an application or two, but for heaven's sake, actually try to find work, otherwise, you're just spinning your wheels. Can you at least dust a shelf or vacuum a floor? Even entry-level service jobs count when you're starting out.
Listen, sweetheart, nobody is going to hand you a work ethic on a silver platter. A "work ethic" is a habit, and you build it by actually working. Otherwise, everything falls apart the second you're truly on your own, and trust me, you haven't felt that reality hit yet. Be grateful you have parents who tolerate you and love you, that you're healthy, and that you've got at least a shred of common sense in your head. There are plenty of old folks out there who would just kick you out of the house and leave you to fend for yourself in the cold. Use the cushion you have. There are tons of people who would give anything to have the opportunities laid out in front of you.
If you can't land a job, go volunteer. There are plenty of people and animals out there that could use your help.

Amy Hayes28 said:My dad passed away for good.😢
thanks Jane and everyone who reached out to help us through this pain.

😢🙂
Please accept my deepest condolences. Your father was a true fighter. He defied every medical statistic out there, and I’m sure you and your family played a huge part in that strength.
Hang in there and stay strong.

mellowraven41 said:I gave birth about a year ago, and while I was breastfeeding, I dealt with these horrible sores on my nipples. Once I stopped nursing, those sores finally healed up. But then, about two months later, this weird scab showed up on my right areola, and it just won't go away—it's been months now. It itches like crazy and nothing seems to help. Please help.

Look, honey, I really don't want to freak you out, but there is a specific type of breast cancer that presents with that exact symptom. It’s much more likely to be some kind of allergic reaction or skin irritation, but you seriously need to get checked out by a doctor immediately. Better safe than sorry—if it turns out to be something serious, catching it early is everything.
Here is http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/f.../pagets-breast.
Please don't spiral or panic right now; just get an appointment and deal with it, whatever it ends up being.

My boyfriend went through those exact same symptoms before it turned out to be a stomach issue linked to GERD. Check out this link to see if the symptoms match what you're feeling.

Dana Baker37 said:Hey everyone...
My mom has been battling lymphoma for two years now... Yesterday, she headed back to the hospital in New York City for a 4 to 6-week stay. This week, she’s starting chemotherapy that is three times stronger than her last round, which was already three times more intense than the one before that. Then, next week, they’ll be administering stem cells that were harvested during her previous hospital stay. She’s in total isolation the whole time, so I can't visit, and our phone calls are kept to an absolute minimum because she asked me to let her call me whenever she actually feels up to talking. I feel numb, useless, and honestly just terrified... She's handling it all with such incredible strength; she's a fighter through and through, regardless of the good or bad days... But this time, it really hit me differently—it feels like this is the final showdown, where either she pulls through or she doesn't. I can't allow myself to spiral into despair, partly for her sake, and partly because my kids start firing a thousand questions at me the second they see me crying, and it's just so hard right now.....

Focus on getting everything ready for when she finally comes home. Map out a plan—book some massages, schedule pedicures, go shopping, and pick up little things that might brighten her mood. Just shower her with those small comforts so you can spoil her once she's back.
I know how heavy this is, but try to stay strong and keep the faith... You have every reason in the world to believe things are going to turn out okay.

freethe said:Has anyone here actually tried NUTRILITE supplements? I've personally used several of their products:
1. My mom took their Blueberry with lutein and cleared up her cataracts.
2. My dad takes glucosamine and his joint issues have totally vanished.
3. My kids take their children's multivitamins.
4. I took CLA 500 and Double X for a month and dropped 13 kg, and now I stick to Daily, Omega, and the occasional other vitamin.
Nutrilite is basically sponsored by the biggest superstars on the planet—even LAFC.

Nice pitch.👍

What you’re seeing is called breakthrough bleeding, and it’s actually listed right there in the side effects section of the pill instructions. It isn't anything to panic about; it’ll pass in a little while.

Terry Rogers said:check your DMs, Angela Wright😁

I intend to, thanks🙂

Jamie Rivera78 said:Getting this worked up and showing zero tolerance is always a dead giveaway that someone’s run out of actual arguments. Time will eventually settle the score on whether you were right or just loud.
Good luck to you.

The owl was laughing...☕

Susan Ruiz76 said:Look, Angela Wright and slyseal28, please don't take this personally. People truly value what you're doing (I actually sent over a hundred bucks myself, maybe more, toward signatures for your petition), but you have to be prepared for pushback. You might run into some disapproval now and then—unfortunately, tolerance seems to be a dying art in this country and in this day and age.

I think we’re being misunderstood. What actually offends me isn't the disagreement itself, but the suggestion and the constant input regarding how we should think, act, or feel, acting as if our actual thoughts and actions are somehow wrong. Like I said before, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but there really ought to be a baseline level of tolerance, decency, and respect for someone else's perspective. Opinions aren't just pulled out of thin air; we all go through our own private hells that shape the views we hold. Still, those "you should do this or that" suggestions always grate on my nerves. It feels like people here are constantly waiting for someone else to swoop in and fix problems they sense, even if that person doesn't agree with their methods. That’s what gets under my skin. I have my own stance, and I have faith in the work I do alongside others in this association who share my mindset. That is literally the whole point of an association. We aren't some government agency on a payroll, waiting for orders to execute. We operate by identifying issues that the majority comes to us about, turning them into actionable projects, and presenting them to potential donors who can choose to support us or not.
If someone wants to take a different path, they can head back to the sticks... there are ways to turn those "shoulds" into actual ideas by forming their own associations to share those specific viewpoints, and they have every right to do so.

At the end of the day, there isn't some grand philosophy at play regarding tolerance versus intolerance—especially when we are talking about things like MMS, which have absolutely nothing to do with common sense. Why on earth would anyone mess around with substances that haven't been tested or controlled just because some "genius" type claims they work? It’s completely detached from reality and basic logic.

And yes, everything we initiate is for the sake of everyone caught in a coma-like situation. We aren't looking for rewards, royalties, or a pat on the back. We are doing what we believe is fundamentally right and what should have been handled a long time ago. So, frankly, I don't care what anyone thinks. At least, not personally. I do what I believe is necessary and useful, and that is what matters most to me and what gives me strength in life.

Jamie Rivera78 said:You guys are doing "well enough" by your own standards. But whether that’s actually good for the patients is highly questionable. To put it bluntly, the survival rates for the people we've discussed here aren't exactly great. And sticking to a one-sided view is never the right path.
Look, I think you're insulting people's intelligence when you assume they shouldn't know anything you happen to disagree with. Cancer is a brutal disease, and a lack of information leads straight to disaster. Do you honestly believe the only truth exists within what an oncologist tells you? That everything outside their office is just total darkness? You couldn't be more wrong.
See, my own experiences with loved ones who fell ill have been pretty grim. Everyone put their blind faith in official medicine, everyone followed every rule to a T, and everyone ended up in a bad way. Not a single one of them made it past three years from diagnosis. I've talked to countless people who were deeply let down by that kind of medicine, and I've helped many of them with advice. I'm glad to see many of them improving, even when nobody expected it. So, I'm not nearly as "inactive" as you seem to think.
Don't worry—if I decide I want to start an association, I'll make it happen.

You don't get what I'm saying, and you aren't even trying to understand or accept my perspective, but I don't have the time to sit here and explain it to you. I have actual work to do with the association. Chaos
👋

Jamie Rivera78 said:Specifically, Sutent, on average, stops cancer growth for about 8 months. That’s the reality. And since that's just an average, some people will see even better results.
I agree—every extra moment of life matters. It matters for the patients and for their families too. However, I feel like you guys, as an association, really ought to be promoting other types of treatment that show incredible success rates. Don't shy away from alternatives, and don't just hunt for scammers. (Trust me, there are fewer crooks out there than in Big Pharma.) Why wouldn't you talk about Dr. Simoncini's method? Or combined MMS Therapy? Don't sit around waiting for a hundred clinical trials before you start mentioning them. If you wait for that, you'll be waiting forever. The simple truth is that nobody wants to fund them because treating people that way is far too cheap, making it unprofitable for the pharmaceutical industry. (Unfortunately, they'd rather you sell your house just to afford a monthly dose of medication, stripping you down to nothing in your final months.) Why shouldn't patients be presented with every single option available?
Don't take this the wrong way—I'm not advocating for charlatans—but I know there are much better options out there than what mainstream medicine currently offers. Honestly, you're starting to sound like a mouthpiece for the pharma industry. I doubt that's your intention, but that's how it's coming across.

Look, please don't try to tell me what I should or shouldn't be doing🙄! We DID WHAT WE THOUGHT needed to be done. If you think we aren't doing a good enough job, then START YOUR OWN ASSOCIATION and push for the things you believe in.😠 It’s easy to sit back and say, "you should do this, you should do that," but why don't you step up and actually do something about it, buddy?☕

Listen, you're insulting our intelligence and our emotions, especially since every single one of us here has been directly or indirectly hit by cancer. I tried everything under the sun for my mother—moved mountains, started this thread, helped launch the website, helped start this association... After her surgery, she actually refused chemo and radiation to try alternative routes. She did macrobiotics, completely overhauled her lifestyle, leaned into her faith, visited all those "famous and successful" bioenergetic healers, "renowned" homeopaths, and "expert" herbalists, used radiofrequency treatments, pumped herself full of every "healthy" supplement imaginable... and you know what? She had a relapse almost immediately. Once she went back to chemo and radiation, it slowed the tumor down. It bought us more time together, and it gave me the peace of mind knowing that if Temodal was an option again, I could buy it and give it to her—because at least I knew they weren't lying to us about it being possible. Science is the only thing that ever gave me real answers.

...so please, stop telling me how to run things. If you're such a passionate advocate for what you believe in, we'll do you a favor and give you all the info you need to start your own association. Then you can handle it and provide people with actual information backed by relevant scientific evidence. Everything else is just hearsay and incredibly dangerous territory that often turns out to be fatal (because we aren't going to sit around waiting for a hundred studies like you suggested—it's not like researchers conduct studies for fun), and that is exactly what you're promoting here. That *is* the charlatanism. It's not good enough for anyone with half a brain, so believe whatever you want.😳

p.s. I’m still sitting here waiting for an answer to the request and invitation I’ve put out multiple times on this forum ages ago: I want someone to step forward with their full name and actual, relevant medical records showing their condition both before and after an alternative treatment that actually worked for them....
Lepina is the only one who saw any kind of result through fasting. I personally know people who tried fasting and ended up dead. When it comes to cancer, you simply never know for sure—that’s just a cold, hard fact, whether the person is using alternative methods or conventional medicine. That's just the nature of the disease.

Matthew Hall37 said:Jane wrote about the book *Chemotherapy Cures Cancer, and the Earth is Flat*:
"My honest impression of someone who has supposedly conducted such deep and wide-ranging research, wrote a book, and then uses an introduction to a show to spout total nonsense about heart cancer not existing—while further claiming doctors didn't give him an answer as to why cancer doesn't attack the heart ( )—is that he instantly destroys his own competence and credibility in my eyes. I didn't even bother trying to watch any further. This guy clearly has no clue about basic cancer facts, let alone offering any kind of coherent alternative treatment."

Can you tell me how many people in America have heart cancer?
I haven't heard of a single one.
Watch the show and you'll see there is logic to this story. Unfortunately, everyone reading this post can see that all the patients are slowly passing away, which proves the author's thesis. Besides, the cost of chemotherapy is unrealistically high and inhumane considering the results. If the price were realistic, the pharmaceutical industry wouldn't be seeing massive profits, just slightly smaller ones. And it isn't exactly nice to get rich off of other people's misery.

What does the number of heart cancer patients in the US have to do with the fact that a man stated a falsehood regarding the non-existence of heart cancer? Cardiac sarcoma is rare, but it exists.
Here is a concrete answer to your question:
Recently, at our association, we learned about a case of cardiac sarcoma in a major US city, while slyseal28 was trying to dig up as much information as possible to help her husband, whose sarcoma is positioned near the heart.
Look, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Personally, I build mine on scientific facts and evidence, and I have endless faith in people like Dr. Đikić and Radman. Anything that doesn't rest on knowledge and scientific facts and postulates, but instead relies on some junk, a hypothesis, or misinformation, I simply cannot consider "safe." Sorry, but that's just how my brain is wired.🤷

Jamie Rivera78, come on, just drop the link to the page you pulled this from. This copy-paste job doesn't really tell me much.

Sandra Rogers48 said:maybe I didn't express myself quite right... his doctors are giving him about a year with chemo, which is incredibly short.. so the question is whether to put him through the ringer with chemo or just let everything take its natural course... 😢without chemo

Look, nobody can give you a 100% guarantee on what’s going to happen or how it’ll play out. You have to take every single chance offered to you and fight! Leaving things entirely up to fate has one—and only one—outcome, and none of us want to see that, right?! Besides, if the chemo works and buys more time, maybe there's a chance to jump into a clinical trial. You have to fight for every single new day. We’re all mortal; we’re here today, and tomorrow we might be gone, whether we were healthy or sick. Life is just a series of battles; it's one big, continuous struggle.

Take our association, for example... honestly, how many of you actually believed it was possible that someone would push to get an expensive drug added to the Medicare formulary and actually succeed at it, especially during a recession like this?!
Come on, let's be real...

Anything is possible.

It’s just like how President Reagan used to say: "My friends, we did it!"...

Starting March 1st, Sutent and Tarceva are officially being added to the Medicare coverage list!🎉 🙂 🙂

Get treated, people!👍

Let's keep moving forward!

steelfalcon15 said:Did anyone catch the show??? Thoughts?

Angela Wright, slyseal28, have you guys checked my PMs and emails yet? This whole thing feels like a repeat of what went down during that "Science Frontiers" show. Let me know how things are playing out on your end...

Someone already dropped the link on our forum, so I'll just put it here too:
http://blip.tv/file/1735979

My honest take:
For someone who supposedly did such deep, extensive research and wrote an entire book, the way he opens the show by spouting absolute nonsense about the non-existence of heart cancer, while simultaneously claiming doctors couldn't explain why cancer doesn't attack the heart ( 😂 ), completely nukes his competence and credibility in my eyes. I didn't even bother finishing it. It’s pretty obvious this guy doesn't grasp basic biological facts about cancer, let alone have anything remotely useful to offer in terms of alternative treatments.
