The New York Times.

Not feeling particularly inspired today, is he? 😕

I want him to pull through quickly, but I can't shake the feeling that saying it out loud just doesn't sit right.

I’m really hoping—though I have my doubts—that it's positioned somewhere accessible enough to be surgically removed without a massive headache. I know plenty of cases where doctors have pulled this off with incredible success.
Maybe they’re planning to hit it with radiation first to scale it down before they finally get rid of it for good.
But let’s be real—it’s absolutely hideous.😢
Look, I don't care if I like him as a politician or not—truth be told, I really don't. But man, I am genuinely rooting for him to win this fight. I'm sending nothing but good vibes and positive energy to him and his family right now.
slyseal28 said:I finally sat down with the doctor, and naturally, the news is devastating:

-my husband has synovial sarcoma in the mediastinum, and they can't use cobalt radiation on him; he needs a linear accelerator instead. This treatment is supposed to happen at either Petrov Hospital or the Cancer Institute. The problem is, the machine over at Petrov Hospital is currently OUT OF ORDER—it’s undergoing repairs right now. 😠
The doctor mentioned that given his condition and the diagnosis, he’ll try to squeeze him in early, hopefully before he has to follow the standard protocol. And according to the doctor, the "standard" wait time is seven months!
But here’s the kicker: even trying to jump the line is impossible until that machine at Petrov Hospital is actually up and running again!
The only other thing he suggested was seeing if we know anyone at the Cancer Institute to see if we could pull some strings there to speed things up.
So, yeah, that’s the situation with the radiation.

p.s.
Of course, I'm going to fight tooth and nail to find a connection, but this is just plain unfair!

😲 That is absolutely horrific. Listen, everyone, we have to do something to bring public attention to this because it’s unbelievable. What vpavi has been dealing with regarding her husband—and what she's still enduring—is unacceptable. Making critically ill patients wait for radiation when every single second is precious? It’s outrageous. And the way these patients are being handled—for example, both the husband and my own mother don't even have a dedicated neurologist monitoring their condition—this is enough to warrant a massive indictment! 😠
Betty Allen65 said:I honestly admire your strength every single time

It’s a rollercoaster of emotions.😘

I truly don't know—it actually makes me feel sick just trying to imagine being in your shoes. I'm losing my mother, who has been such a massive pillar in my life, and I'm losing all those future moments where she should have been there, both in spirit and in person. It kills me knowing she won't see her grandkids, whom she misses so much... though at least she met her grandson and loves him dearly, and even as she's dying, she finds peace in that. But losing a child—in any way possible—is the absolute worst, most agonizing, most brutal thing life can throw at you. It's something you never truly come to terms with. My nurse often tells me that now that I've gone through this with my mom, there isn't anything left that can shake me, unless, God forbid, something happens to my own child. And that is the raw truth; none of the little things that used to drive me crazy affect me anymore.
The only thing that absolutely terrifies me is the thought of passing down some bad genes—I'm likely a carrier, given how many people on both my mom's and dad's sides have battled and died from cancer—to my own child. It haunts me constantly. I find myself wondering why God would put such a good man through this twice. First, when he was just a five-year-old boy losing his father (to melanoma back in 1951, which is easily treatable today), which completely altered his life trajectory because they were poor; and now, he's losing his wife to cancer too. How am I supposed to believe this won't happen to me? My faith is feeling pretty shaken right now.😢

I really don't know what your days are like, Betty, or how heavy your heart feels, and I genuinely wish I knew how you managed to hold it together without breaking. I know you have another child, and the only thing that makes sense to me is that they are the reason you stay strong—and I'm sure your little girl would want the same. It's so incredibly hard, I know for sure, and that's why I admire you. Be proud of yourself.🙏
slymoose4 said:I knew I’d provoke you. Yeah, I felt called out because I mentioned earlier that I didn't get cancer.

In my view, a 90% success rate is an absolutely stellar result. Honestly, even hitting 50% would be considered outstanding these days, especially when you consider that most researchers and medical institutions aren't even seeing those kinds of numbers despite dumping billions of dollars into R&D and clinical treatments.

It feels like the price tag for progress and industrialization was way too steep. We’re paying for it with this wave of brand-new diseases—even if we did manage to settle some scores with the old ones—not to mention the massive pollution we're dumping on future generations and that constant, looming threat of global warming everyone keeps talking about.
We really need to take a breather and stop obsessing over nothing but the bottom line. It’s time to pump the brakes on this constant pursuit of profit and actually start sharing the world's wealth with those who have nothing.

When it comes to swallowing, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone if they actually care about their health—unless, of course, you want to start chewing every single bite of food at least ten times before letting it go down.

Hey there,

slymoose4, thanks again for your generosity in sharing information about this treatment method. At the same time, I need you to understand the skepticism coming from people who are being hit directly and incredibly hard by cancer. It’s not just once or twice that they've had close encounters with all sorts of so-called "methods" that did nothing but torture their loved ones, offering false hope while delivering zero results. In my opinion, it wasn't the actual method you presented that provoked Betty Allen65, but rather the way you framed it: "my people, I can't believe you don't know about this yet." It felt like someone was patronizing us, implying we’re stupid or blind. Every single one of us here has been doing—and continues to do—everything humanly possible to help our loved ones through things most people couldn't even imagine, let alone without diving into deep literature and consulting with specialists all over the world, not just locally.
Una is a woman who recently lost her beloved child, so can you even begin to fathom how soul-crushing and devastating it would be for her if she discovered that what you’re presenting as a cure was actually within her reach all along? Imagine the agony of knowing that if she had only known about this, she might have saved her little one—but instead, she missed it because, like most of us, she relies on her intellect and places her faith in scientifically proven studies. Look, you can find arguments for or against just about anything in this world, but we need to maintain some grounded, realistic standards; otherwise, we’re all just drifting aimlessly into chaos.
Like I’ve said before, trying to help people battling cancer is incredibly slippery ground. You can stumble straight into hell through nothing more than good intentions. That’s why the smartest move is to simply present what you believe to be beneficial and then step back—let people decide for themselves if they want to take that leap or not. Once you've shared your truth, your mission is done. Pushing harder or trying to convince anyone beyond that usually just ends up being counterproductive. Personally, I put my entire faith in God's will; I believe that through His grace, healing can come from something as simple as an apple. But hey, that's just me—not everyone sees things that way.
Thanks again, and just so you know, I’m going to try giving this to my mom. It can’t hurt her, and honestly, I give this particular method a huge thumbs up.
Brenda Richardson33 said:Thank you! I’m hoping things turn around too, even if it feels impossible right now. I consider myself a fighter and an optimist, but when you see things getting worse day after day—and then the doctors tell you it can only go uphill while the tumor is in the absolute worst possible spot... it’s just hard. It’s heavy right now. Maybe tomorrow will be better...

Things will work out somehow, and I truly believe they can get better. My advice? Try to take everything as it comes and don't let the doctors' words weigh you down too heavily. Their talk is almost always based on broad statistics or limited personal experience. Don't forget, they spend their entire careers building that experience. Why couldn't your dad become a brand new, positive case study for them? I don't know if you're religious, but from my own life, I can tell you that God has the final word. When my mom got her diagnosis, they basically prepared to bury her after just six months. Yet, here she is, nearly two years later, still fighting through it all.
Just let life teach you how to carry these heavy burdens. That's just the way it is.😘
Betty Gonzalez8 said:My uncle passed away from cancer last week, so I’ve started digging into this whole thing myself. What I really want to know is: can you just go in for screenings once a year to catch potential cancer at an early stage? I assume that's possible, but if it is, why aren't more people doing it when so many are dying from this stuff? Also, is there actually a logical reason why someone gets it, or is it just a roll of the genetic dice? Thanks.

There are a massive amount of variables at play here. Some types of carcinoma can be caught early through routine checkups, which allows for much better treatment outcomes. However, other types are practically invisible until it's too late; even if you catch them early, they are incredibly difficult to treat—take Glioblastoma multiforme stage IV, for example. It's a different beast entirely.
There are already plenty of forums dedicated to this exact topic, so you might want to spend some time browsing those.
Brenda Richardson33 said:So, this is my first time posting here as a registered member, and I’m really hoping I can find the right words. I’m reaching out because my family is going through one of those incredibly heavy times—we’re the ones who need comfort and support right now. I’m just so glad this thread was started, if that's the right way to put it. 🙂 To start off, my dad is very sick. This is the third time he’s battled this, and this time, things look truly grim. Honestly, I just feel completely and utterly helpless, 😠 and I don't know where else to turn to find the strength to process what's happening or how to help him, knowing that nothing I do will actually change the outcome... I don't even know what else to say, but it means a lot to see people here willing to share their pain with others. Maybe that'll make things a little easier for all of us...

Honey, there isn't anything I or anyone else on this forum can say to strip away that sense of helplessness once you've tasted it. It's a weight everyone here knows too well. What I can tell you—though you likely already know it—is that you have done everything humanly possible for your father. Just let that feeling of helplessness sit with you for a while; it’s a perfectly natural reaction to what you're facing. Eventually, you’ll accept it and find a way to come to terms with the situation. All that will be left is the grief and the void he leaves behind. But eventually, the sharp edge of that grief softens, and the longing turns into beautiful, vivid memories of the good times.
Even though it feels like you're running on empty right now, believe me, that strength is still inside you. You'll surprise yourself by how it resurfaces right when you think you're about to break.
Don't give up hope for your dad. You mentioned this is the third time, and maybe this time, luck is finally on his side. Life is strange like that—sometimes the most trivial, harmless things end in tragedy, so why couldn't the opposite happen? Life constantly oscillates. Hold onto hope and stay strong!

Was the filling inside that sphere actually "top-tier"?
Grab some Gerolstein or a strong cup of tea to get your senses sharp; you’ll hear that distinct ringing sound once it hits the shell walls. Just keep flailing around—you're bound to find your way out eventually.😛
slyseal28 said:Honestly, I'm just totally fed up with all these supposed "miracle cures" that claim to fix every single ailment under the sun. It feels like people are just throwing massive amounts of time and money down a drain.

I once asked someone what they thought was the best way to approach these alternative options. They gave me probably the most solid answer I've ever heard: "It really comes down to your own mindset and how much you believe in the path you choose." To be honest, I think the absolute core of alternative medicine is having that unwavering faith and staying disciplined once you've made your decision.
Heavy discharge? in Health ·
Hannah Bishop said:As for me, I just had my thyroid checked and everything looks fine—the results show euthyroid. My blood sugar is normal too. On April 13th, I’m heading to Beverly Hills to see an endocrinologist, and I also have an appointment at the same clinic with an obesity specialist. I won't be seeing my gynecologist until April 11th.

Finally, some movement! Good for you. You might want to try taking that probiotic; waiting that long for an appointment feels like forever, and people usually just grab whatever supplement they can find off the shelf. 😲 Don't let them brush you off—insist on thorough testing, like a Pap smear, swabs, an ultrasound, and a urine culture. You have to advocate for yourself; tell your doctor straight up that the current treatment isn't doing a damn thing and that you want a full workup. It’s absolutely pointless to keep throwing antibiotics at you like they're candy when it's obvious they aren't working.

No thanks—I don't see the point in thanking anyone for stuff like this. I just hope it actually works, because frankly, I can't think of anything else worth trying right now.
Heavy discharge? in Health ·
Hannah Bishop said:Hey, just checking in. I don't have diabetes, but I did some testing at CVS recently and my blood sugar was 5.7—that was over at Beverly Hills. I'm also dealing with some hormonal issues, specifically excess hair growth and PCOS. Looks like I really need to schedule something with a gynecologist.

Get on it tomorrow! Those discharge issues could be anything, especially since you haven't had your period in so long. You need an ultrasound, like, yesterday! Stop ignoring what your body is trying to tell you. I know it’s frustrating, but all of this is fixable if you actually commit to taking care of yourself. Did you get your thyroid checked out at Beverly Hills? You need a specialist who will actually sit down, look at the big picture, and get you on the right treatment plan.
Heavy discharge? in Health ·
Hannah Bishop said:Hey, I wanted to ask something. For a while now, I've been dealing with heavy discharge that's yellowish-smelly, and it burns like crazy whenever I pee, along with lower abdominal pain. I've been taking Glucofirm for three months to manage my PCOS and get my period back on track, but I still haven't had a real cycle—just this brownish-red spotting that lasts a day. Before Glucofirm, I was on Diane for three years. Every time I see my gynecologist, they just give me a quick exam and some Medazol vaginal suppositories without actually telling me what's wrong, just calling it an "infection." I'm at my wit's end. I've started a second round of cranberry supplements, but nothing helps. On top of that, my triglycerides, cortisol, testosterone, androstenedione, and DHEA-S are all high. I can't live like this anymore. Just to add to the pile, I'm carrying extra weight and have PCOS. It's just one problem after another...

Switch doctors. Get swabs and a Pap smear done, immediately, even if you have to go private and pay out of pocket! Have you checked if your blood sugar is elevated too?
My advice is to head to a specialized facility like Mayo Clinic if you can at all.
I know it’s a struggle, but try to tighten up your diet and look into supplements that might help lower those triglycerides (like Apple Cider Vinegar or the Cactus Diet). Drink tons of water and green tea, and get outside for walks. You should also try those Yakult capsules; they're a probiotic that helps restore your natural vaginal flora. You can pick them up over the counter. Avoid using soap down there—just use water or a mild, pH-balanced intimate wash once a day. You'll find a good selection at CVS.
That high testosterone is likely one of the main reasons your period has stopped.
It's not just the obvious infection; you're dealing with a hormonal imbalance too. You really need a thorough workup, and you absolutely must have your thyroid checked as well.
slymoose4 said:I’m a bit confused here—I thought you guys would actually care about the Budwig method, which boasts a 90% success rate in treating cancer. This approach is entirely food-based, precisely because our modern diet is what triggered this massive spike in tumor cases in the first place.

Take a deeper dive into some other websites (like this one: http://www.flaxoflife.com/), and here are some testimonials from that site, translated for a book that's headed to print soon:

Glioblastoma multiforme stage IV
On February 10, 2002, I rushed my husband to the emergency room because of excruciating headaches and violent vomiting. We initially thought it was just a severe migraine, but the tests confirmed it was a brain tumor. By February 12, he had undergone surgery, and the surgeon later informed us it was Glioblastoma multiforme stage IV. That is easily the most lethal and aggressive form of brain cancer you can face. The surgeon removed all the cancerous tissue he could see. The medical prognosis was grim: if Tom didn't start radiation, he might have six months left; if he did undergo radiation, they figured he might stretch it to a year. Two weeks later, Tom started his first round of radiation. After just five days of treatment, he felt absolutely wretched—all his strength just evaporated.
We are Christians, and we know that when a crisis hits, you have to seek God's guidance. At that time, we were going to our local parish church every single day. Soon after, friends began dropping by with news about alternative treatments that had helped others beat cancer. Since the doctors weren't giving us any real hope, we decided to commit fully to holistic healing and stop the radiation sessions. We kicked this off in March.
Three months later, Tom’s MRI results looked promising; his brain showed no signs of a tumor, and the cavity where the tumor had been removed was clear, save for a thin line in one section. The doctor wasn't even sure if that line was just scar tissue, a benign growth, or the Glioblastoma returning.
By the six-month mark, the MRI showed absolutely no trace of the tumor. The doctor actually called it a miracle, noting he hadn't seen anything like it in his fourteen years of practice.
Tom’s regimen included:
• 2 tablespoons of fresh cottage cheese mixed with 1 teaspoon of flaxseed oil (well-blended) twice a day
• 750 mg (in capsule form) of shark cartilage three times a day
• A small amount of Borage Oil and CoQ10 as a supplement
• More than 3 liters of water daily
• A drastic reduction in meat consumption (no pork) and sugar
• Light walks
• Spending over an hour in the sun, or just being outdoors if it’s cloudy
Nowadays, Tom walks 6 kilometers every day and does weight training. We honestly believe artificial sweeteners caused the tumor to develop, especially since Tom used to drink two liters of Diet Coca-Cola a day.
October 2006 — Tom is still tumor-free, continuing his holistic lifestyle, and avoiding all conventional treatments.

I already posted a link to the page regarding this specific treatment method on the glioblastoma thread.
I’m wondering—do you happen to know anyone in America who has used this method and successfully recovered? If so, please DM me their contact info. Glioblastoma is a nasty piece of work, and frankly, it feels more than just "too good to be true"—it feels almost "too easy" that this is the only way to kill it.
In the 1.5 years I've spent surfing the web every single day, this is the only case I've ever found where someone actually beat glioblastoma.

Alex Chase86 said:....thanks everyone for the info....I just found it on the map today—right next to the Kroger!....I'll be driving in from the direction of Brooklyn....we'll figure our way there...it's just the results that have us stressed...

There's really no reason to spiral. Just wait for the test results to come back, and if there actually is an issue, it can be fixed. Modern medicine performs absolute miracles in this field these days. I’m pretty sure there’s even a technique now where they isolate the healthy sperm and then proceed with artificial insemination rather than going full IVF. You'll just need to track your fertile window carefully. 😉
You're going to have a whole pack of kids before you know it.😍

Alex Chase86 said:😕 ...Can someone please help me find some info on the Vuk Vrhovac clinic? I'm not from Chicago, and there isn't much online about the facility itself—just a bunch of people sharing their personal experiences. That would be incredibly helpful right now. Here's the situation: I'm 26. We've done all the standard tests a regular gynecologist offers (swabs, vaginal ultrasounds, etc.), but my husband's sperm count came back poor—only 28% motility. His doctor gave him a referral for an endocrinology consult and a follow-up sperm analysis at Vuk Vrhovac.
I don't even know where this clinic is located, let alone what the next steps are... they called today... and apparently, I have to call on April 1st just to get an appointment for May. It's overwhelming. We want a baby so badly. Please, if anyone knows anything, help!😳

...Oh, I should mention, my own test results were perfectly fine.

It’s nothing but an uphill climb from Times Square. The address is Dug Dol 4a.
Map:http://206.222.26.154/GElin/GelinShowRoom.html Just type in the street address and number, then put Chicago after the comma.
Grab yourself a decent city map. You can find them at basically any gas station.
If you want my two cents, go check out the specialists over at Holy Spirit Hospital. They’re absolute pros when it comes to fertility treatments, so there's really no harm in reaching out to see what they can actually pull off given your specific situation.
Call the maternity ward at Holy Spirit at 01/3712247. Just walk the nurse through the situation and try to set up a consultation with one of the doctors on staff; she’ll likely point you toward whoever is the best fit for what you need.
Good luck!🙂

Can bra underwires cause breast pain? in Health ·
dustydrifter13 said:So, I've always worn underwire bras, but lately, I’m getting this sharp poking sensation right where the wire ends on the outside—you know, just under the armpit area. I tried ditching them for a bit, but then the pain just flares up right in that exact spot regardless. Aside from that specific sting, my breasts don't actually hurt anywhere else. Is there any reason to be worried?

Probably not. Those kinds of twinges are usually just tied to your menstrual cycle. That said, you shouldn't just ignore it; feel free to ask your OB-GYN for a checkup and have them write you a referral for an ultrasound.
