For those who have cancer or have a loved one with cancer or any other health problem: my hugs and my prayers.
Silent Spring resulted in a large public outcry
that eventually led to most uses of DDT being banned
in the US in 1972…
When anger takes over
For those that have experienced cancer up close, they know that there is anger that can rage for "no reason"…
Last gossip Thursday I posted that Patrick Swayze has pancreatic cancer.
This caused an uproar - or as they say in Spanish - a fracas.
I edited the sentences below in this paragraph after reading Fracas comment over at here place where she lists 5 reasons why…
At first I thought it was about a confusion that I am the author of another blog called metastatic liver cancer. But it shows that we finally found the primary cancer: once I left a comment about wordpress.com and making money based on the little knowledge that I than had:
- knowing there had been an Adsense Wordpress plugin circulating to make money on wordpress dot com
- seeing people on the Wordpress dot com platform making money using paid to blog services.
You should contact wordpress dot com yourself first because as I understand it now: you cannot use wordpress dot com in any way to make money online !
Seriously: only if…
If I had asked Fracas before I started the meme she is so angry about, most likely we would be still OK with each other…
If Fracas had read my very first Linky Love post, she would have known why I am not changing content at the liver cancer blog yet why the themes of these blogs look alike and why they are registered at the same company …
Cancer and terminal cancer
You have 2 types of cancer: non-terminal and terminal cancer.
You can compare with a candle:
- terminal cancer is when the doctor lights the candle for the last time
- when the light is out, it’s out forever…
Cancer and money
The more money you have, the more beautiful a candle you can buy.
But when the light is out, it’s out forever… (Picture courtesy of Olga, the traveling bra).
Some people in some parts of the world don’t even have money to buy candles…
Some people that can buy candles cannot quit their job in order to join their loved one’s last light because… they need the money to buy the candle or they need the money to cling on their lifestyle which is more important than the candle.
Some people that do quit their jobs get criticized by the ones not quitting their jobs because they do have "odd" ways to make ends meet…
Some Governor in New York votes for a law that buying sex has to be penalized higher, and then spends 5000$ (tax payers money?) on 1 hour being with a escort, isn’t it Mr. Spitzer.
It’s not about the money, it’s about what you do with the money… Spending money on a candle is spending money on something that will only burn once: are you up for that? Don’t bother to answer the question as long as you are not in the situation to answer the question…
Doctors and cancer
As soon as the doctor lights the candle, his job is over and you are on your own with your candle… Don’t ask your doctor about cars nor the environment, that’s not his job either…
Doctors live by the oath of Hippocrates. For those who didn’t fall asleep during history class and had the luck to have a history teacher that wanted to make a difference:
Hippocrates had a hospital enclosed by 4 walls. If you needed treatment: you knocked and asked to come in.
If you were a woman being pregnant, you would not be let in because you would have a 50% chance the mother would die at childbirth… In other words: the doctor doesn’t help everybody who needs help and based on Hippocrates example gets away with it.
Don’t get me wrong: I do love doctors when I break an arm or when they diagnose me with dengue 1 day before my blood was so thin I probably would have died from internal bleeding. I don’t like doctors that prescribe antibiotics the second you come in their office and cough…
Cancer treatment
If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away
Seriously: in these modern days high tech world: all we can do to treat cancer is:
- cut it out or
- add so much toxins in your body that hopefully you will survive but your cancer wont
Is that what comes out of spending billions and billions of money on research on cancer?
Well:
- a good cut makes lots of money (have a look at the amount of plastic "surgery shows" on TV lately)
- pesticides, medicine, poison also makes lots of money, like billions of money
Gossip, war and history
Who of you know by heart: which king married which queen, had so much offspring, went to war here and there and then got poisoned by so and so?
Isn’t that your ultimate gossip class preparing you for your adult life: watching E! or following the latest wars on the latest news?
War against cancer
Why does Clinton send 1 missile to Osama and why does Bush send a whole army to Iraq in order to beat Osama?
We got our first difference of opinion about war here.
War should be the last thing to do… now with all the billions spent in Iraq: wouldn’t it have been much wiser financially to just having bought Saddam Hussein out for less money, billions of money less? Add to that, that US has sponsored him to be on top in the first place… Ever heard about that in history class?
Unless it wasn’t at all about Saddam Hussein. Then the question is: can you please reveal what it is all about and why it is more important than spending that money on cancer prevention?
Health care equals disease sweeping
Did you notice that only when you are sick, health care intervenes.
Shouldn’t the name change to "disease treatment"?
Don’t we all say at home: better prevent than fix…
Yet when it comes to health policies, what you see is: fix what there is and:
- applaud when another "cancer victim" has "won" his "battle" against cancer.
Look at the rhetoric: victims, battles and winning… do we really rather fight and destroy in stead of building up something constructive?
Listen to the politicians the US has to vote for: who is talking about prevention when it comes to health? Obama? Clinton? … Nobody? What kind of choice do we have then???
All is well on planet earth???????
To answer Skywindows:
Go to wikipedia and start reading about each pesticide. See the following pattern:
- first people see the advantages and make big money
- then people invent a second pesticide parathion
- then other people see the disadvantages and decide to stop using the first pesticide in their own country (no problem shipping it out to the so called un-developed countries: up to them if they want to poison themselves isn’t it ???????)
- so let’s make big money with the second pesticide parathion before that one gets banned…
- repeat the previous over and over again with different pesticides
Read the DDT example from wikipedia and pay attention to the WAR part in the story. Compare it with:
Pesticide Dinoxol:
A formulation of 2,4,-D and 2,4,,5-T: tested in the Vietnam WAR between 1962 and 1964.
…
DDT is a chemical with a long, unique, and controversial history.
- In the early years of World War II, DDT was used with great effect to control mosquitoes spreading malaria, typhus, and other insect-borne diseases among both military and civilian populations.
- The Swiss chemist Paul Hermann Müller of Geigy Pharmaceutical was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1948 "for his discovery of the high efficiency of DDT…"
- After the war, DDT was made available for use as an agricultural insecticide… its production and use skyrocketed.
- In 1962, Silent Spring by American biologist Rachel Carson was published. The book catalogued the environmental impacts of the indiscriminate spraying of DDT in the US and questioned the logic of releasing large amounts of chemicals into the environment without fully understanding their effects on ecology or human health.
- The book suggested that DDT and other pesticides may cause cancer …
- Silent Spring resulted in a large public outcry that eventually led to most uses of DDT being banned in the US in 1972.
- DDT was subsequently banned for agricultural use worldwide, but its limited use in disease vector control continues to this day in certain parts of the world…
- Along with the passage of the Endangered Species Act, the US ban on DDT is cited by scientists as a major factor in the comeback of the bald eagle in the contiguous US.
As long as there is no public outcry that
we are killing our environment:
our environment will continue killing us

"After Why is Charlotte Allen stupid?
If one woman like Charlotte is stupid, that’s because others are more smart. It’s as simple as that…
You can read her complete stupid article here but below you can read 2 examples of how stupid she is. I mean, would you hire a person to write your stories when her observations of the entire human race are based on her own silly personality?
Read and cry…
I am perfectly willing to admit that I myself am a classic case of female mental deficiencies. I can’t add 2 and 2 (well, I can, but then what?).
I swear no man watches "Grey’s Anatomy" unless his girlfriend forces him to. No man bakes cookies for his dog…
Hello Charlotte Allen:
watch these 3 men baking cookies at
Dog treat cookbooks
…No man feels blue and takes off work to spend the day in bed with a copy of "The Friday Night Knitting Club." No man contracts nebulous diseases whose existence is disputed by many if not all doctors, such as Morgellons (where you feel bugs crawling around under your skin). At least no man I know.
Maybe you should go and get to know some men out there, and the women they frequent as well dear Charlotte Allen…

Alan Ledesma is the next cancer victim to pass away…
Alan Ledesma picture:
too young to die from cancer
It’s sad but true: he couldn’t pay his medical bills…
We care for cancer
I can be as funny and sexy as I want with my sexy secretary award:
I am always touched when people like Beeno Baby (Sexy Secretary Award applicant 2: Beeno Baby ) add a little "I care for cancer" on their website.
Why?
My granddad passed away from metastatic liver cancer…
I can assure you: you need a strong stomach to digest how a person deteriorates from cancer, even if he can get all the medical help and all the love and care he can get.
Alan Ledesma Bio
Alan Ledesma was even less fortunate than granddad. Alan is a Mexican TV actor. Yet being sick with cancer: he couldn’t continue working.
Which means: no work - no money.
Alan Ledesma stopped acting in the series "Las Tontas no van al cielo" Silly women don’t go to heaven… Unlike silly women: and today Alan Ledesma went to heaven himself.
Alan Ledesma cancer
For what I can read on the Spanish pages, Alan had stomach cancer, had 15cm (6 inches) removed from his intestines and they found tumors in his lungs…
This is a spread cancer, or a metastatic cancer, or a secondary cancer: the most difficult cancer to handle because there is more than 1 to start with, nicely walking around in your body to spread more damage.
Alonso Barceló, Carlos Mota, Ingrid Martz… all tried to raise money for the chemo therapy Alan wanted to take, costing 30.000 pesos a day: that’s about 2.800$ US… way to much for a not so famous, not working, sick actor…
What you can learn from Alan Ledesma’s cancer?
Cancer only gets the news when "a famous person dies" or "a famous person recovers".
Why don’t we hear anything about preventing cancer?
Are the chemical and medical industry so powerful that:
- they can sell you food filled with pesticides
- they can sell you lots of medicine to counteract any bad effects from pesticides…
Let’s all care for cancer BEFORE cancer strikes
If you drive safely, your car can go a long way. Once your car hits another car, a tree or a wall: your car will be finished.
Same with cancer: as long as you don’t have it, you are fine. Once you have it, you will be finished (yes, I do read the propaganda from the medical world how much people are "cured" oops, not in remittance for 5 years…)
Why is there no cancer prevention? Nor "good health prevention" and 1 out of 4 people in the US don’t have health care in a system where there is no prevention???? Isn’t that suicidal!!!
Alan Ledesma rests in peace
Alan Ledesma is another victim of a planet polluting itself at a non-stoppable rate.
No proof you say?
How convenient that medical research doesn’t want to find a proof to start with…
Alan Ledesma :
You are gone physically…
But in our hearts…
you will live forever…
Rest in Peace…
