    Seriously i think if anyone believes they need protein suppliments and to make sure they eat meat for protein and cows milk for calcium theyve just been misinformed (sorry) by the mass media and even our schools as children, this bullcrap is fed

    Anyway, good post rat! yeah i spotted the ascorbic acid thing and was curious, but most of the others...good stuff

    A subject close to my heart

    I was never told type 1 diabetes could be cured, because with known methods, it cant

    Insulin shots just help keep the person alive...basically

    And with type 2 there should NEVER be insulin shots given, unless the person is in such serious trouble. DIET will completely cure type 2 diabetics. But it needs dedication, strength, and a major overhaul

    [size=+1]Pharmaceuticals restore health - it CAN help. i can't control my kidneys through mind power, you know.[/size]


    [size=+1]Vaccination brings immunity - in a couple cases, i won't argue it. mostly it seems completely useless.[/size]


    [size=+1]The cure for cancer is just around the corner - my stepson is cancer free and his incredibly rare case is being studied very closely now. EXTREMELY exciting.[/size]


    [size=+1]Menopause is a disease condition - well, did you ever have to live with a woman going through menopause? some COMPLETELY go insane. i know my mom did.[/size]


    [size=+1]When a child is sick, he needs immediate antibiotics[/size] - yeah, that's just stupid, no doubt.

    [size=+1]When a child has a fever he needs [/size][size=+1]Tylenol - fevers are good to a degree, but over a certain point they can cause more damage than good. it's irrefutable. also, sometimes the poor things just need a little rest and relief from pain.[/size]


    [size=+1]Hospitals are safe and clean - oh, ew. i know. [/size]

    [size=+1]America has the best health care in the world - we do steal some of the best doctors in the world.[/size]

    [size=+1]Milk is a good source of calcium - it's okay[/size]

    [size=+1]You never outgrow your need for milk - i love it.[/size]


    [size=+1]Vitamin C is ascorbic acid - it's also calcium ascorbate[/size]

    [size=+1]The FDA thoroughly tests all drugs before they go on the market - HA!! no shit. [/size]

    [size=+1]Pregnancy is a serious medical condition - both of mine were incredibly dangerous. there are far fewer women dying in pregnancy and childbirth than before. don't mock that.[/size]


    [size=+1]Infancy is a serious medical condition - women can't help being overprotective. didn't you mother love you?[/size]


    [size=+1]Chemotherapy and radiation are effective cures for cancer - worked for tyler. yeah, it was rough, but he's clean now.[/size]


    [size=+1]When your child is diagnosed with an ear infection, antibiotics should be given immediately 'just in case' - fucking antibiotics are the birth of the super viruses.[/size]

    [size=+1]Ear tubes are for the good of the child - when dave was little, they relieved his ear pain. i think that was the gist of the whole thing. less scarring, less agony, and he could go about being a healthy boy.[/size]

    Wait I thought we were supposed believe it was the Afghanis? Not like it matters, soon enough it will be the Iranians and I'm sure it will be believed as well.

    antibiotics dont produce super viruses.
    transfer of viruses from animals to humans are the bad ones - like sars
    they come about from bad living conditions with too many people and animals together and not enough hygiene

    people don't finish taking their antibiotics, take antibiotics for things that don't NEED antibiotics, don't completely kill it off, they hone the remaining living cells, the tougher ones to kill, and those morph into something even harder to kill. superbug.

    May I ask what type of cancer? I've been involved closely with a number of people going through cancers with a poor prognosis but who are surviving.

    grade 3 follicular lymphoma. typically incurable and unheard of in a person under the age of 30. also, it's the exact same disease that struck dave's stepfather AND dog. bizarre, right?

    Peculiar, yes.

    What stage? I assume he's undergoing chemo or antibiotic treatment if in later stages.

    Regular treatment or trials?

    he underwent both chemo and radiation. it damn near killed him, the poor sweetie. he still has to go in for testing, but he's clear thus far. he was stage 2, and it was growing at an incredibly aggressive rate. but their success in treating him has the oncologists in a frenzy of excitement. it's like nothing happened. his hair is growing back perfectly, he's already gained weight, and they removed that thingie from his chest, i can't remember what it's called. his immune system is PERFECT. it's amazing.

    people don't hear about that much. i used to be able to eat it, but after a stint as a vegan i now have an intolerance for soy and many nuts. i still eat them anyway, but i get really sick. my mom has the same compulsion with tomatoes.

    Its really easy to overdo the soy once you go vegan, and precisely because no-one mentions its bad in large doses and because its in so many "vegan products" it can become a crutch. Its something about oestrogen in the beans or something? Luckily i made the connection before i had no hair left at all, although its still got a lot of growing back to do!
