Research: Pineapple Enzyme Kills Cancer Without Killing You Could an extract of pineapple fruit be both safer and more effective than a blockbuster chemotherapy agent? Every once in a while a study pops up on the National Library of Medicine's bibliographic citation database known as MEDLINE that not only confirms the therapeutic relevance of natural substances in cancer treatment, but blows the conventional approach out of the water. Published in 2007 in the journal Planta Medica, researchers found that an enzyme extracted from pineapple stems known as bromelain was superior to the chemo-agent 5-fluorauracil in treating cancer in the animal model. The researchers stated: "This antitumoral effect [bromelain] was superior to that of 5-FU [5-fluorouracil], whose survival index was approximately 263 %, relative to the untreated control." The material safety data sheet (MSDS) for 5-FU states: The dose at which 50% of the animals given the drug die is 115mg/kg, or the equivalent of 7.8 grams for a 150 lb adult human.
The 21st Floor » Blog Archive » Skeptic News: Burzynski petition Home » Featured , news , Scepticism , Science 25 November 2011 3 Comments By Keir Liddle There has been a recent flurry of interest in the activities of the Burzynski clinic among skeptics triggered by an article in the Observer where another family tragically affected by a rare cancer has turned to fundraising to pay for treatment at the controversial Texas facility. While it is impossible not to feel for those confronted with the grim spectre of cancers for which medical science has not yet found an effective treatment or cure it is equally as hard to witness the false hope that can arise from those offering treatments based on flimsy premises and with an absence of peer reviewed studies and independent replication. Stories like this appear in the media from time to time . Someone working for the clinic has recently taken it upon themselves to threaten skeptical bloggers who criticise the practices of the clinic and it’s research. The petition can be found here .

The concerns of a mouse… A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package. “What food might this contain?” The mouse wondered. He was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap. Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed this warning : “There is a mousetrap in the house! The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, “Mr. The mouse turned to the pig and told him, “There is a mousetrap in the house! The pig sympathized, but said, “I am so very sorry, Mr. The mouse turned to the cow and said, “There is a mousetrap in the house! The cow said, “Wow, Mr. So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer’s mousetrap. … Alone That very night a sound was heard throughout the house – the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey. The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it. It was a venomous snake whose tail was caught in the trap. The snake bit the farmer’s wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital.
10 simple habits to improve self-esteem | HavingTime - StumbleUpon Low self-esteem is like driving through life with your handbreak on. – Maxwell Maltz There are tons of articles out there claiming capability to change your life for the better, but the truth is that it’s completely up to you. Or not. Let me paraphrase that. In order to change anything in your life you need to look up for your old limiting habits first. Yes, that’s right. 1. If you decided to go and try bungee jumping then go and do it as fast as you can before the voice of the second thought tells you what you can or cannot do. A real decision is measured by the fact that you’ve taken a new action. 2. Make it a habit! Live as if you were to die tomorrow. 3. If you are not sure about a subject – just ask for an explanation. Waiting is painful. 4. Ever wanted to try street dance, step, bikram yoga or any other fun active stuff? Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. – John F. 5. 6. 7.
America – The Grim Truth {*style:<b> </b>*} escape from the prison you call home , I have some bad news for you: You have the worst quality of life in the developed world – by a wide margin. If you had any idea of how people really lived in Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and many parts of Asia, you’d be rioting in the streets calling for a better life. I know this because I am an American, and I escaped from the prison you call home. I have lived all around the world, in wealthy countries and poor ones, and there is only one country I would never consider living in again: The United States of America. Consider this, you are the only people in the developed world without a single-payer health system. This is ironic, because you need a good health system more than anyone else in the world. Let’s start with your diet: Much of the beef you eat has been exposed to fecal matter in processing. Of course, it’s not just the food that’s killing you, it’s the drugs.

Dr. Burzynski and the cult of personality of the "brave maverick cancer doctor" : Respectful Insolence I thought I’d be leaving the topic of Dr. Stanislaw Burzysnki and his combination of Personalized Cancer Therapy for Dummies-level “personalized, gene-targeted cancer therapy” coupled with his “cancer-curing” antineoplastons, which have morphed into an orphan HDAC inhibitor used off-label as part of his pricey everything-but-the-kitchen-sink” combination of targeted therapies and old-fashioned chemotherapy. After all I figured that there would probably be nothing new to say before sometime in January, when he is schedule to appear before the Texas Medical Board to answer for his dubious medicine again, the first time since the 1990s. Then I saw this story from the U.K Oh, no. I need your Help to fight my Brain Cancer”We desperately need to raise £130,000 for Chiane. As Elton John and Bernie Taupin would say, I’ve seen that movie, too. But I do not condone. What Dr. Dr. It is not my intention or desire to crush the hope of such families. There’s another aspect about Dr.
72 Page Document Shows Merck Paid Doctors at Least $18,810,495.52 Merck pays big money to doctors for speaking about their products. Sometimes gems are difficult to come by. However, when we find them, just clean them up a bit and we can appreciate their ‘real value’. The little treasure I discovered was a document located on Merck Pharmaceutical’s website. The 72-page document is titled, “Merck & Co., Inc., Disclosure of Payments to U.S. Keep in mind that, that amount is just for speaking fees! You may be wondering why this information was made available. Merck said it was because of transparency. It’s a good start, but apparently the reports were going to be available annually thereafter (July 1, 2009). Document Shows Heavy Vaccine Promotion Have you ever wondered why some doctors may be so rabidly in favor of promoting vaccines? Not only is it subtle, it’s legal and has financial rewards. For example, Merck was pushing two new vaccines: Gardasil and Rotateq. Let’s do something mathematically radical. But what does this all mean? ‘Rotten to the Core’

Vaccines - Jon Rappoport interview of ex vaccine researcher Jon Rappoport interview of ex vaccine researcher JON RAPPOPORT Q: You were once certain that vaccines were the hallmark of good medicine.

A: I did my own investigation. Q: What conclusions did you come to?
