Looks like we might be facing a dietary change soon.
The alternative is not attractive by any means. her medical oncologist acknowledged yesterday that they are overwhelmed with cancer cases because people are living longer. He said we used to have a heart attach and die. People don't die from heart attacks any more, they get a stent or a bypass and go on living until they get cancer.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it probably needs more time on the grill!

My son is in med school and has helped with some research at the Mayo Clinic and he has told me of some fascinating things they are working on for cancer. One of the things that really shows promise is a virus type thingy that they make inside the person so its unique to the individual and their cancer. Its a ways from being released but the tests are showing lots of promise.
BB the research being done on cancer is covering the entire spectrum of cellular biology. They just had an eye opener at Hopkins. They had a new supply of mice delivered and they injected them to induce cancer and none of them developed cancer! So they investigated the history of the mice and learned that they had been treated for a common parasite. The side effect of this treatment seems to inhibit the development of lung cancer in mice.
