End Stage Cachexia

Posted on October 15, 2023 by Ken

Cachexia. – Bing video When the desire to eat leaves, and your weight is low, it would take so many calories to add any weight and one needs a desire to eat for that. Starvation
is what is happening. A slow slide. Have your end of life documents present, at the ready, especially if there is a DNR.

I don’t have experience with the Big C. I have researched colloidal silver, very beneficial
for lots of issues, including that. You can find a lot of info at The Natural Health Library Facebook page or web page. Doterra Digestzen oil I have lots of experience with!
It’s great for stomach issues.

Might get some help from this supplement, add to her water.
Easy to tolerate, slight sweet taste. Good luck sounds rough.

Turkey tail mushrooms are used in western countries to fight breast cancer.
But tell her to see the doctor. My sister died trying to treat herself for throat cancer at 49.

Go to the Cancer Tutor website for information but yes definitely pickle juice.
There is a cycle that is going on in her body that needs to be broken.

You can find some natural protocols for cachexia in this post.

Please post your diet suggestions here, not as in “no meat, no dairy, no this, no that”
but in a sense of what you are able to eat or get others to eat while they’re going through the Cannabis Oil protocol. Cannabis Oil can have an anti-hunger reaction for many if not most.

Rather than what not to eat, what are some ideas on what to eat?
This is the diet post, so please, add if you have some beneficial suggestions. Thanks!

I would start with grans spelt & brown rice. Try to eat as much organic veggies. Chia seeds, quinoa, soups, minimum fresh fruit, fresh carrots celery cucumber apple ginger turmeric juice or add pineapple fresh Aloe Vera, smoothie, you need to bring your immune system up.
Which is the main reason Vitamin c, Ivy Mistletoe injection and oxygen therapy plus daily vitamins. Try to buy natural vitamins: vitamin d3. I take 4-5 tablets, iron, zinc, vitamin a calcium, k2, black seeds oil, much. much more. Detoxing please check YouTube for detoxing. Especially when you do any scans.

Coriander blend with filter water and fresh lemon juice
which according to your test is a great detox.

Franck Muller I have been juicing for a while. I would strongly recommend a good quality juicer, the cheaper ones are hard to clean this means you may not make the effort. I have been using a champion juicer, which is easy to clean. I have no vested interest in this product.

Cancer feeds on sugar, even natural fruit sugar. It was suggested to only have one serving of fruit a day or none. Comments?

High sugar levels feed inflammation disease and help free radical formation. Adequate intake of super fruits help prevent cancer based on holistic science. There are great potent superfood powders with almost no sugar also.

Linda Hardy Mary Ann Clarke who told you sugars in fruit caused cancer?
Fruit alkalizes the body where a cancer cannot survive. 1y

Jon Marsh Author Admin Linda Hardy who told you cancer can’t survive in an “alkaline body”? That’s a huge myth, as false as anything. Zero truth about alkalinity staving off cancer, it actually doesn’t even make sense. 1y

Linda Hardy You can have your opinion…I stand by mine based on terrain theory. 1y

Jon Marsh AuthorAdmin Linda Hardy it’s science and the alkaline theory is bunk.
It’s very easy to “get alkaline” by every standard imaginable. It’s also very easy to maintain being “alkaline” so that being actual fact, how can anyone believe that simply “becoming alkaline” will prevent cancer from continuing to develop and possibly thrive?
It’s nonsense. Humans would have to be the most ignorant fools to walk this earth if it
was that simple to prevent cancer. It’s not even worth discussing, so you can have your opinion, but it’s based on nonsense. 1y

Linda Hardy Oh dear seems like I hit a nerve. 1y

Jon Marsh Author Admin Linda Hardy only because this is the Group,
I started about 10 years ago and to think it’s as simple as just eating the right “alkaline” diet…. Yeah, ignorance is painful. I was blown away by what he had to say about cancer and fasting. I recorded a bit of what he said in regard to fasting.

Rachel Briseno Gennifer Guzman his name is Dr. Pradnip Jamnadas. He’s a cardiologist from Florida. There’s a lot of other doctors that are also saying the same thing ….
Dr. William Li, Dr. Jason Fung, dDr. Mark Hyman. You can see them on you tube. Very interesting what they have to say. This particular video is called  Dr. Pradnip Jamnadas. Fasting for Survival lecture – Search (bing.com)

Audrey Drummonds The only thing I could eat while on chemo was egg omelets with cheese, Tomatoes, and onions. All the healthy stuff sounded good, but I couldn’t keep it down. I would also eat a half bag of Cheetos in between treatments.

Emma Clare Is juicing better than smoothies? I have read that juicing means your body gets the raw nutrients from the fruit and veg faster as its not lumpy and thick like a smoothie, so it has quicker digestion? I’m undecided whether to get a blender or a juicer…

Emma Clare Jon Marsh do you know of any specific smoothie recipes to help fight cancer? Would be grateful to be pointed in the right direction. 1y

The powerful enzymes are destroyed when using a high-speed juicer/blender since it heats up. So, if you want optimum juicing, use a slow-moving centrifugal juicer……unfortunately it takes longer. Dr Rudolph Breuss has the best vegetable juicing recipe for cancer!

Cathy Carter Stopped 99% sugar intake, dairy cut to maybe 2 times a week (as some days I’m not able to ear. But a milkshake helps those days) I drink only distilled water with minerals added back after distilling. I’ve not had much if any appetite and have since the first of the year have lost about 70 lbs. I have been taking organic vinegar (with mother)..about a shot with a Tbsp organic local honey daily ..daily multivitamin, magnesium, vit D3, quercetin, vitamin c

After suffering years with inflammatory bowel diagnosis…
having a precancerous tumor and 4 polyps removed Dec 2011.
I haven’t returned for colonoscopy…6 years overdue. I had taken the oil on and off with great results (less discomfort, less pain, and finally an end to nearly 2 years of severe diarrhea). Since starting FECO.. I’m feeling much better, able to do things I haven’t been able to do for several years. I haven’t got a doctor to monitor me..other than family docs that I don’t mention feco to as of yet. …to heal my gut! Cancer or not…I am on the mend..one day at time. Thank you !!!
Oh…also been taking a 5 mushroom blend supplement. Praying I am healing and though I have some rough hours, days…it’s no longer weeks or months. For my feco, I prefer Indica strains and usually mix 2 or 3 strains to make a batch. I eat lots less…less everything…but especially meat and processed foods. The weight loss just a side effect.of all the diet changes. Drinking gallons of water and determination to be better.

Cathy Carter how do you stop 99% of your sugar intake? There are sugars in almost everything including fruits and vegetables.

Jon Marsh Author Admin “Almost” everything. Until you’re susceptible to sugar feeding cancer, you have to choose everything from the “almost” list and eat it. As bland as it may seem, spice it up with herbs and spices, things known to kill cancer as well. Garlic it up

Michael Hadler Jon Marsh the sugar feeding cancer is more of a myth based on actual scientific data except for a few “researchers. A lot of people seem to think you should avoid sugar when you have cancer because of the known risks that it increases your risk for cancer. What they leave out is 5hat it’s not the sugar itself that increases the risk but the obesity itself from consuming too much.
Every cell in your body requires glucose. The closest thing to avoiding sugar I have ever heard from an actual neuro oncologist was to avoid dramatic spikes in sugar intake but he said even that was not founded in actual rigorous science and was more theoretical than anything. I’ve also seen some very loose evidence about it possibly making a difference for hormonal base cancers which brain cancer is not.

Cathy Carter Michael Hadler I should have said simple sugars and flour products. I eat fruit. I use honey or maple syrup to sweeten, and I use lots of spices…many are beneficial for inflammation and healing.

Shaz Van Kann Juicing is ridiculously time consuming…

Kathleen Wheeler Well, for cancer diets both our alternative doctors said, No sugar, no dairy, no meats, a plant based diet, no processed foods and that is what we have followed and it worked thus far. You can eventually add some of it back but at the beginning you have to be very ridgid! There are tons of other things to eat or substitute. Nuts, nut butters, coconut milk, lots of research on google for substitutions been doing this since 2014.

Richard Carnell If the Endocannabinoid System was taught as part of the Basic Biology Curriculum we all learn in school – it would go something like this…
“What I’m about to show you was discovered because of Cannabis and the Cannabinoids it makes – Cannabinoids are an entirely new class of chemicals which is a huge discovery on its own – but how important are they to the human body?

– Our bodies also make their own ‘Endocannabinoids’ from the Omega fats
– Importantly these Endocannabinoids are used in our bodies to both Activate and Modulate our cells using the Cannabinoid Receptors that are attached to the cell membrane of every cell – that makes them part of our Cellular Biology and where the ECS is directly regulating – there are many of them attached to each cell (the scientists call that ‘high expression’ of these receptors)
-High expression is found in the Brain, the Immune System and the Endocrine System so the ECS directly regulates Neurotransmission, the Immune System and Hormones and it has a hand in everything else…
The metabolization of Endocannabinoids from omega 6 and 3 takes time – though that gives us the opportunity to eat optimally and adjust the ‘ratio’ of Endocannabinoids that will be Activating and Modulating these receptors, the Endocannabinoid System is the largest, most concentrated and widespread neurotransmitting system in our bodies – neurotransmission is how our cells perform the functions that they do, how they are controlled and balanced to work optimally and with ease as they should, that’s what good health IS.
– So whilst the Endocannabinoid System isn’t everything – it is the most important thing to learn about and make changes if we want to remain healthy and effectively protect ourselves from all of the health conditions that plague us, that includes cancer, diabetes, heart disease, dementia, autoimmune conditions and everything else – this discovery really is THAT huge and important.
– Cannabis is ALSO able to Activate AND Modulate our receptors and faster than the Omega metabolites because their metabolization takes time and the ratio of Omega 6 and Omega 3 in our bodies takes time to change – but the Phytocannabinoids (Plant Cannabinoids) from Cannabis work much like the ‘Active’ Omega Endocannabinoids which makes Cannabis an effective tool to adjust the ECS as needed as an effective treatment.
THC works much like the Activating Endocannabinoids made from Omega 6 (Anandamide and 2ag) CBD works much like the Modulating Omega 3 Endocannabinoids but also other Omega 3 metabolites that aren’t Cannabinoids – at times scientists have wondered if CBD is a Cannabinoid at all, but actually it is and also more…
-Additionally DHA from Omega 3 makes up part of the foundation of our cells and their receptors so we need enough of it compared to Omega 6 intake during our growth and development and before birth – the ECS will do the best it can as a regulating system without everything it needs but problems will gradually develop in our later years if they aren’t obvious much earlier.
Cannabis is a Synergistic Toolkit of ‘noids’ with Cannabinoids, Flavonoids, Terpenoids and Terpenes working Synergistically together to far greater effect than the sum of its parts – the natural variety of Cannabis strains gives us the opportunity to find a plant profile (Cultivar) that works well for any condition or disease and improve it further from there using lab tests to see what’s working for each problem and finding another Cultivar that’s even more effective and so on – thanks to the Global Decriminalisation of Cannabis we can now work together as a species to perfect Cannabis for everything we need it for.
On Science’s behalf, I’m sorry its taken 30 years for me to be able to reveal this about our Cellular Biology and how important it is for the management of our health, but medicine as we understand it is changing, along with our understanding of how the body uses inflammation and how the ECS regulates it – man isn’t smarter than nature as nature has shown us what we needed to know with Cannabis.
Modern medicine has made some very important discoveries and many are still valid and lifesaving, but they developed all of them whilst deliberately ignoring the most important system that is part of all of the others and regulates them – our health has suffered massively because knowledge of this system and its true relevance has been ignored whilst our diets evolved to harm us, but we know that now.
Cannabis was kept illegal due to the fear of THC but whilst problems do happen – it’s a preventable and fixable imbalance – think of THC as a power button and CBD as a dimmer switch, we were told too much power can be a bad thing and thats true and has been true of our diets – but they didn’t tell us about the dimmer switches, the ECS really IS the dimmer switch for our cellular health – we need the correct level of power and modulation for optimum cellular performance and optimal good heath.
– Unfortunately heavy Omega 6 cooking oils have been used because they have higher smoke points and longer shelf lifes – but it wasn’t realised how biologically active these Omega fats are and how damaging a distorted Omega Ratio and the resulting Overactivated ECS is to our health, instead we were told ‘fats are bad’ but actually the Omega fats contained the answers we needed and scientists only knew to look there because of Cannabis, it has shown us the way…

Balance can be achieved dietarily or temporarily as an effective treatment with Cannabis but the best way is both, too much THC or Omega 6 can be a bad thing without enough CBD or Omega 3 and that’s also true of too much CBD and Omega 3 without enough THC and Omega 6 and because the target Is balance which isn’t possible without both – in some ways these are opposites that only together can create Balance – this is also why different ratios of THC and CBD are used to effectively treat different conditions – the effects we experience from Cannabis will depend on the ratio of Omega 6 and 3 metabolites we already have in our bodies, People that have problems using THC and don’t like the effect will have a more severe Omega 3 deficiency but if that happens – now we know we can just use CBD to turn the effect down to comfortable.
After enough people learned this simple truth – Governments weren’t able to justify keeping Cannabis illegal and criminalising people that use it though they did try and showed us who they really work for in the process, if a policy causes and defends Genocide which Cannabis prohibition did for too many years – we will learn the truth eventually – no one, especially an industry that profits from our ill-health and dis-ease has the right to dictate our health choices and what we are and aren’t allowed to use so that we don’t need them as much, a monopoly might be a good thing if it’s completely benevolent, but that isn’t what we had, now we know better and again because of Cannabis.
Now I have a video for you to watch about the true relevance of what we have allowed to be ignored for too long, I’m glad this is finally out there as part of the biology curriculum and I’m allowed to fully talk about it and the hope it brings for our future, this is also what we needed to learn these past 2 years because the ECS regulates the immune system – If we need to turn down severe symptoms from virus’s as an effective treatment – we needed a dimmer switch and we have one already – it’s part of every one of us written on all of our cells – but it wasn’t part of doctors, virologists or epidemiologists training…
Science can be amazing but it can also ignore the most important thing to know.
Welcome to your Endocannabinoid System – the bodies Universal Cellular Regulator and the most important medical discovery ever made and because we are made of cells and ‘because’ every one of them has Cannabinoid Receptors.”

OG Kush is great for breast cancer because it has certain Terpenes in it that work together. Thank you so much for thinking of me. You’re such a sweetheart. My preference for giving advice for certain strains is that it’s not a sativa because sativa is having people feel anxiety and they don’t want that. It has a certain Terpenes in it. However, I kind of stick with Indica because it’s easier to fight not feeling lazy and it is to have that high anxiety with feeling your heartbeat real fast.

Why Does Israel Matter?

Posted on October 15, 2023 by Ken

Jewish History in the Land of Israel: PEACE when there is… NO Peace! in Israel
(Jewish history israel.blogspot.com)

Why does Israel matter?
Did you know that the time clock of the return of Jesus Christ
isn’t based on America’s timeline? It’s based on what is happening in Israel.
Did you know Jesus wasn’t a “Christian” ? He was a Jew. He celebrated and kept the Jewish holy days and customs, as well as the feasts of the LORD. He didn’t come to eradicate the Torah and writing of the Prophets / Old Testament. He came to fulfill
the prophecies that were written in them.

When Jesus returns, He isn’t returning to the United States.
The Bible says He is going to plant His foot down on the Mount of Olives and go through the Eastern Gate, which is currently sealed off with 16 feet of concrete. A cemetery was also placed in front of that gate because touching the dead makes a Jew considered unclean and unable to enter the Temple, which is considered Holy. The Word of GOD
says He will return there and from there He will rule and reign for 1,000 years.
The final battle isn’t going to be on U.S. soil. It’s going to be in the Valley of Megiddo,
in Israel. The Bible says as the nation’s wage war against Israel Jesus will come and destroy His enemies with the breath of His mouth. 2 Thess 2:8 – Search (bing.com)

GOD did not replace the Jews with Christians as some believe.
We are actually grafted in with them as you would graft a wild branch into an existing tree.
The Word of GOD says, “When you touch Israel, you touch the Apple of GOD’s eye.” Zechariah 2:8
“He that keeps Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps. The LORD is thy keeper.” Psalm 121:4
“I will bless those that bless you and I will curse those that curse you.” Genesis 12:3
We are also commanded to pray for the peace of Jerusalem in Psalm 122.

ISRAEL matters.
For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,
for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet,
till her vindication shines out like the dawn,
her salvation like a blazing torch. Isaiah 62:1
PRAY FOR ISRAEL. Copied from a friend
WE HAVE TO PRAY FOR JERUSALEM

Bible Question: Is the United States called the Great Babylon in Revelation?
I have been hearing that the United States is called the Great Babylon in Revelation.
Is this true?

Bible Answer:
There is no verse in the Bible that says the United States
is Babylon the Great nor is there any hint that this is true.

Religious System
God calls Babylon the Great the mother of harlots.
. . . and on her forehead a name was written, a mystery, “BABYLON THE GREAT,
THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered greatly. (NASB) Rev. 17:5-6
The word “harlot” has mainly two meanings in the Bible. The first meaning is a sexual prostitute. The other meaning is the one that is used here – a spiritual prostitute.
A spiritual prostitute is any person who worships something other than the true God.
In the Old Testament, this term was even used of cities and nations.
How the faithful city has become a harlot, She who was full of justice!
Righteousness once lodged in her, But now murderers. (NASB) Isa. 1:21

Here in Revelation the phrase “mother of harlots” refers to the fact that Babylon is the origin or the mother of all false religions and cults. This is the tower of Babel and where the rise of the mystery religions began. This means that “Babylon the Great, the mother of harlots,” will be a false religious system that dominates the world.
And he cried out with a mighty voice, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great!
She has become a dwelling place of demons and a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hateful bird. For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the passion of her immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed acts
of immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich by the wealth of her sensuality.” (NASB) Rev. 18:2-3 Is New York City Babylon – Search (bing.com)

The Antichrist
This world religion is supported by the final world empire – the revived Roman Empire.
And the angel said to me, “Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns. (NASB) Rev. 17:7
This revived Roman empire is empowered by Satan and led by the antichrist,
who is the eighth horn or king in the next passage.
The beast which was and is not, is himself also an eighth and is one of the seven,
and he goes to destruction. The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour.
(NASB) Rev. 17:11-12

Is it possible that the United States is Babylon the Great?
The answer is no, but it is possible that the United States could be part of the Revived Roman Empire. It is possible” since so many of the citizens of the United States are descendants from the old Roman Empire. The revived Roman Empire will be the resurrection of the former Empire during the final seven years of the world.
The book of Daniel paints a picture of world history that tells us that the old Roman Empire returns to power in the end times. The people living in the United States primarily came from Europe. The Roman Empire eventually occupied all of Europe before it decayed from within. Later Europeans migrated from Europe to the Americas and established the United States. Since so many of the people in the United States come from the old Roman Empire, it is possible that God could consider the United States to be a part of the old Roman Empire.

Conclusion: Israel Palestine Rick Steves – Search (bing.com)
The next major event in prophecy is peace in Israel.
These are wonderful times as we watch the signs of His coming.

It is a joy to anticipate His coming.
. . . so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, shall appear
a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him.
(NASB) Heb. 9:28
The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. (NASB) 2 Peter 3:9

Map of Holy Land including Syria and Egypt – Search (bing.com)
The question of who the man Jesus Christ was is one that has dominated discussions for two-thousand years. Many have tried to describe him, and many artists tried to capture His likeness. These depictions seem to make the topic more confusing, as historians like Josephus did not find much to comment on Jesus’ looks, and artistic renderings are inconsistent, including the way his racial identity is portrayed.

European art makes Jesus look European; African art going back centuries makes
Him look African; Asian art makes Him look Asian. Despite these contradictory images,
the Bible is clear about His genealogy and religious identity – He was Jewish.
There is Biblical and cultural evidence to support the stance that He was an ethnic and religious Hebrew, who reached across these barriers to bring all people to the Father.

Was Jesus a Jew?
The Bible provides two genealogies for Jesus in the Bible, tracing His earthly heritage
back in time, one of them all the way to Adam. Coupled with the genealogical records in the Old Testament, it is easy to trace Jesus’ heritage back through the history of the Hebrew people who became the Jewish nation. The two genealogies traced in the Gospels are generally accepted to trace Jesus’ heritage through both his earthly parents and are targeted at two different audiences.
Matthew, the apostle, was Jewish, and the primary audience of his letter was targeted at a Jewish audience. He begins his record with Abraham, the father of the Hebrew nation, and ends with Joseph, the man who raised Jesus and acted as his earthly father. The line-up of men in the genealogy run from the father of the nation, to David, to Joseph, which would have been culturally important for establishing Jesus’ Jewish heritage to that audience.
The emphasis on Abraham would have set up Jesus’ credentials as the Messiah, and showing the connection to David through his son Solomon would have shown how He fulfilled some of the prophecies about the Messiah. It also makes sure to hit all the important moments in Israel’s history. “So all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations” (Matthew 1:17).

Matthew’s records hold cultural and historical information supporting Jesus’ heritage.
Luke’s gospel follows the genealogy of Mary. She is not mentioned by name, but that would have been common during the first century. The connection to David is reinforced, this time through his son Nathan. It is important to trace Jesus’ lineage through Mary because beginning at least around the first century, Jewish heritage was passed matrilineally, through the mother. While certain aspects of the Jewish culture and religion are passed through the father, such as priesthood, the birthright to be considered Jewish comes from the mother because of a general consensus of interpretations of the Torah and the Talmud – Jewish religious texts which include the Bible.

This genealogy is the biological connection to David.
Unlike Matthew, Luke was a gentile, writing to another gentile – a friend of his named Theophilus. Luke traces Jesus’ heritage all the way back to Adam. The reason that was important for Luke, and for the gentile audience, is because it is a good reminder that Jesus was not just the Messiah for the Hebrew people, but for all people.
Jesus was also a Jew in the religious sense, though He had a perfect understanding of a right relationship with the Father, where mankind had misunderstood it. He was called Rabbi, or Teacher, and preached in temples throughout Israel during His three-year ministry. He followed the Holy Days of the Jewish calendar, and had an observable relationship with God. Though the religious practices of the day do not align exactly with contemporary Judaism, at that time, He would have been considered a religious Jew by the Roman authorities. Other Jewish leaders, including the Pharisees would have considered some of His teachings heretical.

To be religiously Jewish at that time did not require Hebrew ethnicity.
In the Old Testament there are several examples of individuals who were not from the twelve tribes of Israel who worshipped the one God, and would be considered Jewish religiously, though that term would not have existed for them. These individuals included Moses’ father-in-law Jethro, Rahab from Jericho, and Ruth the Moabitess who married Boaz and became a part of the line that led to Jesus. Today, if someone converts to Judaism, that person can be considered Jewish.

What Do Jews Believe?
In contemporary Judaism, the faithful still wait for their Messiah to come. They believe the prophecies about Him have yet to be fulfilled, where Christians believe they were fulfilled in Jesus Christ. One of the great Jewish thinkers after Jesus’ ascension was Maimonides, who lived from 1138-1204. He put forth an image of the Messiah who would come and usher in the Messianic age, governing the world with wisdom, perfect justice, and perfect righteousness. It will be an age of global peace and prosperity. While there are many variations on this idea, there is a general agreement of a time when the world will live in accordance with God’s law. Jesus is ruled out entirely as the Christ – another word for Messiah – from this perspective.
In Jesus’ time, there was a strong desire for the Messiah to come because of the oppression of Rome. The Messiah was perceived in a similar way as He is today, but many also believed He would overthrow Rome, leading to an independent Israel.

Like today, devout practitioners of the religion now called Judaism would have observed high Holy Days, many of which involved a trip to Jerusalem if possible. They followed Levitical law, giving tithes and sacrifices as required. Historians categorize this period as the Second Temple period. Solomon’s temple was gone, and Herod constructed a second. The influence of the Pharisees and Sadducees increased, and they added to the rules and regulations of the laws and Hebrew traditions.
Jesus commented on this issue, “But you say, ‘If a man tells his father or his mother, ‘Whatever you would have gained from me is Corban’ (that is, given to God) — then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother, thus making void the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And many such things you do’”
(Mark 7:11-13). Even though there was religious corruption, there were many honorable and sincere Jewish believers waiting for the Messiah.

Did Jesus Teach His Disciples Judaism? Photo credit: ©Getty Images/Motortion

When evaluating Jesus’ religious statements, Jesus spoke Aramaic because it was the common language of the region where he lived123. The towns of Nazareth and Capernaum where Jesus lived were Aramaic-speaking communities2. Aramaic was also the diplomatic language of the Persian Empire1. Most religious scholars and historians agree that the historical Jesus principally spoke a Galilean dialect of Aramaic3. Jesus was also knowledgeable enough in Hebrew to discuss the Hebrew Bible, and most likely knew Greek through commerce as a carpenter in nearby Sepphoris2.

Why did jesus speak aramaic and not hebrew – Bing video
it must be viewed from His statement, “Do not think that I have come to abolish the
Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them” (Matthew 5:17).
Jesus’ teachings were the ultimate of the law, rather than new and contradictory.
He took the rules and prophecies from the Old Testament and explained them in full, rather than from the limited and flawed view of man. He highlighted the limitations of
the law to redeem a soul, and that following the rules does not fix the inner man’s sins, something only God can do.

He laid this premise out clearly in the Sermon on the Mount:
“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’ But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment” (Matthew 5:21-22a).
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’
But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart” (Matthew 5:27-28).
These are two of several examples of Jesus highlighting that the point of Jewish law
was not only to prevent wicked actions, but to also turn a mirror inward, and require the individual to repent of their inner sins, which prevent someone from being truly righteous before God. Because no man can live in perfect righteousness on his own, Jesus paid the price for the sins of the world in order that His righteousness can be attributed to the sinner, saving that person from judgment.

While there is overlap between modern Judaism, Jewish religious practices during the first century, and Jesus’ teachings, they are not the same. For example, during Jesus’ lifetime, there were mandatory journeys to the Temple, as seen in the Book of Acts when thousands of Jews from all over the world went to Jerusalem for Holy Days, a practice not done today. Animal sacrifice is also generally frowned upon in today’s culture.
Contemporary Judaism has found other ways to fulfill the law without a Temple or a sacrificial system. Many modern Jews would separate what they believe from Jesus’ teachings. Some believe He was a good person, but incorrect in His understanding of Scripture. Some argue He was a radical figure that some clung to and deified. Just like Christians have different takes on different Biblical concepts like the millennial reign, ideas about Jesus and the Messiah vary among Jewish scholars.

What Did Jesus Teach about Jews and Gentiles?
The primary focus of Jesus’ ministry were His people, the Israelites, but He still reached out to the Gentiles. He shared the Gospel with the Samaritan woman. When the Centurion in Capernaum reached out to Him to heal a gravely ill servant, He said that if Jesus commanded it, the servant would be well, even if Jesus did not take the physical journey to the home. In response, Jesus declared, “Truly, I tell you, with no one in Israel have I found such faith. I tell you, many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven…” (Matthew 8:10b-11).

Here, Jesus declares the future salvation of the Gentiles.
The Messiah came to save both the Hebrew people and the whole of the world.
He reached out to both people groups. He discipled twelve Jewish apostles, who became the formidable force behind the beginnings of the church, bringing the Gentiles into the family of God. Through His death, Jesus saved the Gentiles and, “The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will banish ungodliness from Jacob … and this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins” (Romans 11:26b-27). Though Jesus was Hebrew,
His salvation was for everyone.

Is It Important That Jesus Was Jewish?
When considering the importance of Jesus’ ethnic and religious identity,
it is important to put it in the context of God’s promises and fulfillment of prophecy.
God chose the descendants of Abraham to be the people through which He would bring about salvation for all mankind. To Abraham, God promised, “and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed” (Genesis 12:3).
To David, God promised a descendant who would reign forever. “When your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever” (2 Samuel 7:12-13).
Both of these promises were Messianic made to Hebrews, and in order for God to keep His promise, it was important the Savior come from that line, and that people group.

Further prophecies about the one who would redeem mankind from their sins and reconcile the human race back to God made it clear the birthplace, the lineage, and even specific details about the life of this promise of hope. One example of these prophecies is in the Book of Micah which prophesied the Savior would be born in Bethlehem in Israel; “But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel, whose coming forth is from of old, from ancient days” (Micah 5:2). By being born in Israel to a Hebrew mother, and cared for by a Hebrew step-father, Jesus’ heritage fulfilled the prophecy.

In this sense, it is important that Jesus was Jewish.
However, His ethnicity is not important where salvation is concerned. No one is barred from going to Him to repent of sin and ask for forgiveness just because of their ethnicity, or His. The Messiah did not just come for Israel, but for the whole world.
God chose the Jews because they would protect God’s message at all costs.
Through them would come all the prophecy, all of the foreshadowing.
That could only have been done here on earth through a single group and could not have been left to the broader Gentile population. His message would not have been protected and maintained as it was by the Jews.
Dan Sered puts it this way: “A big part of our history is rooted in God using the Jewish people to be a light to the nations. For the most part, Israel fails in their job/call, but God in His infinite wisdom continues to love and spare them.”

The Promise
In both the Old and the New Testaments, God is referred to as “the God of Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob.” In them, through them, God’s relationship of promise and purpose
was fixed for all those who descended from them.
The message of that promise was delivered first to Abram when God changed his name from Abram to Abraham — the “ha” being Hebrew for “the father of multitudes:”
“I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you” (Genesis 12:2-3).

From Abraham, through Isaac and Jacob, then through Moses, and on to King David. Through the exile and then through their land being conquered by other empires — the Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans — the Jews carried God’s Word and God’s promise.
Thus, there were fourteen generations in all from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Messiah (Matthew 1:17).
The Old Testament made promises of a Messiah who would save Israel — save the Jews and save the rest of the world.
That Messiah prophesied in the Old Testament was a Jewish savior, chosen by God for a special purpose from a special people. The Messiah was to serve God’s purpose by fulfilling all Jewish prophecy and reconciling the world to himself:
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God (Revelation 21:3).

Was Jesus a Jew?
The Bible offers two separate genealogies for Jesus in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. Two gospels, two distinct audiences. One written for and addressed to “Theophilus” —
to whom Luke also addresses the Book of the Acts of the Apostles.
Since Theophilus is a male name of Greek origin, it would be clear that Luke’s audience was Gentile in nature. Matthew’s gospel, on the other hand, is clearly written for a Jewish Christian audience.

Matthew begins his record with Abraham, the father of the Hebrew nation, and ends with Joseph, Jesus’ earthly father, and includes David, king of Israel — all critically important to establish Jesus’ Jewish heritage. The connection between Abraham and David was critical to establish Jesus’ credentials as Messiah.
Luke, on the other hand, follows the genealogy of Mary — to David through his son Nathan. Jewish heritage during this era was passed on through the mother.
Even though some aspects of the Jewish culture and religion were passed on through the father, such as priesthood, the birthright to be considered Jewish came through the mother.
So, Jesus was born in Bethlehem to a Jewish mother, raised in a Jewish home,
and raised by parents who followed Jewish law and respected Jewish festivals.
Jesus also honored his Jewish heritage in every religious sense. He was called Rabbi, or Teacher, and preached in temples throughout Israel.

Jesus identified Himself as a Jew.
Speaking to the Samaritan woman at the well, Jesus said,
“You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know,
for salvation is from the Jews” (John 4:22).
In being the Son of God, however,
Jesus had a perfect understanding of the right relationship with the Father.
Jesus saved his most harsh criticism for the religious practices of the Pharisees — clearly rejecting the hypocrisy among the practices of the religious leaders. He often challenged them in public — resulting in many calling him heretical and blasphemous.
He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him (John 1:11).
Moreover, in Jesus’ time, there was a very strong expectation of a “conquering Messiah” who would save the Jews from the oppression of Rome. Instead, Jesus fulfilled the image of the suffering Messiah described in chapter 53 of the Book of Isaiah.

Children of the Promise
Yes, in the Old and New Testaments, God is called the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob — because with them, God’s promises were prepared for all those who descended from them. Yet, according to Paul, through Christ, we have become descendants of Abraham:
In other words, it is not the children by physical descent who are God’s children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham’s offspring (Romans 9:8).
If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise (Galatians 3:29).
Clearly, although he was a Jew on earth, Jesus now transcends all cultures.
In fact, he transcends every human boundary, whether nationality, ethnicity,
culture, race, or background. Artists throughout history, in every nation and every culture,
have reimagined Jesus from their own perspective, depicting him in every artistic style.
In fact, no other person in history has inspired the arts as Jesus has. But let’s make no mistake — Jesus was born Jewish. In that he still lives, he is Jewish. His return will be to Israel.
Jesus is indeed the Jewish Messiah, the Son of David — and sent through and to the Jews.
But then…in His death and ultimate resurrection, Jesus guaranteed salvation for all who would trust and believe in Him (Ephesians 2:11–22).

Jesus, the Jewish Messiah — the Savior for all people.

Power Trip: The Story of Energy | Author: Michael E. Webber
For centuries, human activity has been dominated by the need to fuel human civilization. Energy is unique: no other physical resource in society has had such a wide-ranging impact on our ecosystems, economy, public health, and personal liberties.
And as the era of fossil fuels stumbles to a close in the West, much of the rest of the world is still just waking up to coal. We have found ourselves on the cusp of a transition in how we get energy that is both obvious and profoundly uncertain.

Mesothelioma Rates by State

Posted on October 13, 2023 by Ken

*Nevada is excluded as new mesothelioma diagnosis data was suppressed in the CDC data.

Rates of new mesothelioma by state ©Bailey Glasser LLP
From 2015-2019, over 15,000 people were diagnosed with mesothelioma in the United States. The map shows the age-adjusted rates of new cancer per 100,000 people by state. Alaska and Maine had the highest rate of new cancers with 1.3 per 100,000 people – nearly twice the rate for the U.S. overall (0.7). while Hawaii had the lowest rate with
0.4 per 100,000 people.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States, killing an estimated 605,213 people in 2021 alone. While lung, colon, and breast cancer are the most common, they are far from the deadliest forms of the disease.
Cancer researchers determine how deadly a cancer is by looking at the five-year survival rate – the number of people who have not died from their cancer five years after diagnosis. By this measure, mesothelioma is among the deadliest forms of cancer in the United States. Consider that the five-year survival rate of all cancers is 68 percent. Mesothelioma has a survival rate of around twelve percent.

While relatively rare, mesothelioma is an aggressive form of cancer with one primary cause – asbestos exposure. Asbestos was widely used in construction, manufacturing, and fireproofing until the 1980s. While its use is now limited, the material can still be found in older homes, businesses, and even in schools and universities across the country.
Where then, are people at the highest risk of being exposed to asbestos and developing
and succumbing to this deadly cancer? Using United States Cancer Statistics data from the CDC and the National Cancer Institute, Bailey Glasser LLP identified the states with both the highest and lowest rates of both new cases and deaths.

Rates of mesothelioma deaths by state©Bailey Glasser LLP

During the same time period, from 2015-2019, 12,431 people died from their cancer. Delaware had the highest rate of mesothelioma deaths, with 1.1 per 100,000 people – nearly twice that of the national average (0.6). Arkansas, Georgia, Hawaii, and South Dakota had the lowest rates of mesothelioma deaths with 0.4 per 100,000.
Interestingly, mesothelioma death rates have decreased across the board in the
United States since 1999 – from 0.9 per 100,000 people to the current rate of 0.6. However, annual death counts have actually increased over that time. This phenomenon is likely the result of a steady increase in population, along with the long latency period of mesothelioma. With advances in treatment, the five-year survival rate has increased considerably during this time period as well – from just over six percent to twelve percent (though that figure depends on which stage of mesothelioma is diagnosed).

The 10 US counties with the highest rates of mesothelioma diagnosis and death
©Bailey Glasser LLP

The study lists the ten U.S. counties with the highest rates of mesothelioma diagnosis
and death. All ten have death and diagnosis rates significantly higher than those of the states they are in and are at least double the national rate of new cancer diagnosis.
Jefferson Parish had the highest rate of new mesothelioma cancer diagnoses in
the United States, along with the second highest rate of mesothelioma deaths.
In fact, it had a new cancer diagnosis rate more than double that of Louisiana and
3.5 times the national average.
New London County has the highest mesothelioma death rate of any county in
the United States at 2.2 per 100,00 people.
Kitsap County, Washington is the only west coast county among the top ten and is
tied for the second-highest rate of new cancers with Jackson County, Mississippi.

*Data for counties with fewer than 16 cases (or deaths) were suppressed,
therefore, we were unable to identify the counties with the lowest rates.

How to reduce your risk
Exposure to asbestos causes most cases of mesothelioma. In general, people are exposed by breathing in tiny asbestos fibers when the materials are disturbed. Statistics show that most people will not develop mesothelioma, it is important to avoid exposure to asbestos
if possible.
Because asbestos was so widely used before the 1980s, many older homes and buildings still contain asbestos. If you live in an older home, asbestos may be present in pipe and furnace insulation, siding, popcorn ceilings, attic insulation, and flooring.
Avoid disturbing those materials and speak with a local agency or certified asbestos
contractor if the materials need to be replaced or you plan to renovate your home.
If you work around asbestos-containing materials, always wear the proper personal protective equipment and get training for handling asbestos if possible.
Workers in some industries are more likely to be affected than others. This includes military veterans, shipyard workers, construction workers, or even educators and school employees. If your workplace contains asbestos and you believe that it is causing harm, you should tell your employer or health and safety representative. If that fails to resolve your concern, you should contact the work health and safety regulator in your state.

Data and methodology
Mesothelioma data for each state and county reflect the years 2015-2019 and were provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the National Cancer Institute.
State and county rankings were determined by a composite ranking of death rates and rates of new cancer, ties were broken by the total number of deaths, then the total number of new cases.

Beautiful in blue!

Special Mention: Solitarius.org being a personal blog of information creating awareness for prevention through knowledge of options. Hopefully, with gaining
this knowledge you won’t have to go through what my friends from SOLITARIUS went through back in 2005. Heather Von St. James, after giving birth together with her husband Cameron had a life altering ordeal.

Follow along on my blog as I tell my story from the beginning …
https://www.mesothelioma.com/blog/category/survivors/
There is power in our stories…
Power to offer hope, to inspire and to allow others to see that if I can do this, so can they…
I’m partnering with Mesothelioma.com to share my story of my diagnosis, treatment and survivorship journey…I hope you find inspiration as well.

Diagnosed with Pleural Mesothelioma, while embarking upon a search to find
the best mesothelioma treatment care available.

Their search finally led them to Dr. David Sugarbaker, a renowned mesothelioma surgeon at the Boston based Brigham and Women’s Hospital. What Dr. David Sugarbaker recommended at the time was ‘ extrapleural pneumonectomy.’
     Which at the time was a groundbreaking treatment option offered through the International Mesothelioma Program. Although having some risk associated with the procedure, it also carried great promise for the best possible outcome. Today, Heather a cancer survivor continues her work of providing unending inspiration to mesothelioma victims around the globe through her own personal blog.

   While carrying out her compassionate mission, being a beacon of HOPE for those afflicted with mesothelioma; by sharing her story of Faith, Love and Courage, both as a keynote speaker at conferences and through social media forums.
With the health care system in disarray… Maybe we should all consider prevention as a method to sustain longevity. Prevention is key and that is no more evident in the State of Minnesota. The Iron Range territory produces three hundred percent more Mesothelioma cases than the rest of Minnesota. And within Fridley, Minnesota being an Erin Brockovich cancer cluster it’s important to have the facts concerning cancer prevention.

  Generally, Minnesota has probably some of the better cancer rates in the United States. While the State, also has more people getting cancer screened than most States (60% versus the national average of 50%). While providing some really informative internet websites for cancer awareness, the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota provides State of the Art Treatment (Surgery for Mesothelioma After Radiation Therapy-SMART approaches.)

At the age of just 36, Heather Von St. James – Search (bing.com) did not expect to be diagnosed with Mesothelioma so young. Upon the diagnosis of this cancer, Heather was given just 15 months to live. On February 2nd, 2006, Heather underwent major surgery
to have her lung removed, in the hope to save her life. Heather’s sister declared the day “Lung Leavin’ Day”. 16 years later and after successful surgery, Heather is still fighting
the cause to raise awareness of the disease.

Mesothelioma, a form of cancer commonly found in the lungs or abdomen, is caused by exposure to asbestos. Simple exposure to airborne asbestos is that deadly. Whilst the number of new cases per year is approximately 3,000, an even more harrowing stat is that around 20,000,000 people are at risk of developing mesothelioma each year due to exposure to asbestos.

“When I was a girl, I wore my dad’s work coat all the time. It was covered in asbestos from his construction job” Heather claimed on the Lung Leavin’ Day website. Asbestos is still found in many industrial buildings, homes and schools and is invisible to the naked eye. Heather’s story is, unfortunately, one of many. But Lung Leavin’ Day is about, in Heather’s words “building hope and awareness”.
Asbestos and Mesothelioma is a growing problem in construction; however, it’s not alone. Almost 70% of cancer diagnosis in relation to construction health is caused by asbestosis – the next highest is exposure to silica. The APPG report released in 2020 in the UK entitled Silica – the next asbestos? explores this idea in more detail, but this is a subject that has been discussed scientifically, a long time before this date – e.g.
The Guardian in Australia stating that silica IS the new asbestos.

The 10 US counties with the highest rates of mesothelioma diagnosis and death
©Bailey Glasser LLP

The study lists the ten U.S. counties with the highest rates of mesothelioma diagnosis
and death. All ten have death and diagnosis rates significantly higher than those of the states they are in and are at least double the national rate of new cancer diagnosis.
Jefferson Parish had the highest rate of new mesothelioma cancer diagnoses in
the United States, along with the second highest rate of mesothelioma deaths.
In fact, it had a new cancer diagnosis rate more than double that of Louisiana and
3.5 times the national average.
New London County has the highest mesothelioma death rate of any county in
the United States at 2.2 per 100,00 people.
Kitsap County, Washington is the only west coast county among the top ten and is
tied for the second-highest rate of new cancers with Jackson County, Mississippi.

*Data for counties with fewer than 16 cases (or deaths) were suppressed,
therefore, we were unable to identify the counties with the lowest rates.

How to reduce your risk
Exposure to asbestos causes most cases of mesothelioma. In general, people are exposed by breathing in tiny asbestos fibers when the materials are disturbed. Statistics show that most people will not develop mesothelioma, it is important to avoid exposure to asbestos
if possible.
Because asbestos was so widely used before the 1980s, many older homes and buildings still contain asbestos. If you live in an older home, asbestos may be present in pipe and furnace insulation, siding, popcorn ceilings, attic insulation, and flooring.
Avoid disturbing those materials and speak with a local agency or certified asbestos
contractor if the materials need to be replaced or you plan to renovate your home.
If you work around asbestos-containing materials, always wear the proper personal protective equipment and get training for handling asbestos if possible.
Workers in some industries are more likely to be affected than others. This includes military veterans, shipyard workers, construction workers, or even educators and school employees. If your workplace contains asbestos and you believe that it is causing harm, you should tell your employer or health and safety representative. If that fails to resolve your concern, you should contact the work health and safety regulator in your state.

Data and methodology
Mesothelioma data for each state and county reflect the years 2015-2019 and were provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the National Cancer Institute.
State and county rankings were determined by a composite ranking of death rates and rates of new cancer, ties were broken by the total number of deaths, then the total number of new cases.
This story was produced by Bailey Glasser LLP and reviewed and distributed by Stacker Media.

Beautiful in blue!

Special Mention: Solitarius.org being a personal blog of information creating awareness for prevention through knowledge of options. Hopefully, with gaining
this knowledge you won’t have to go through what my friends from SOLITARIUS went through back in 2005. Heather Von St. James, after giving birth together with her husband Cameron had a life altering ordeal.

Follow along on my blog as I tell my story from the beginning …
https://www.mesothelioma.com/blog/category/survivors/
There is power in our stories…
Power to offer hope, to inspire and to allow others to see that if I can do this, so can they…
I’m partnering with Mesothelioma.com to share my story of my diagnosis, treatment and survivorship journey…I hope you find inspiration as well.

Diagnosed with Pleural Mesothelioma, while embarking upon a search to find
the best mesothelioma treatment care available.

Their search finally led them to Dr. David Sugarbaker, a renowned mesothelioma surgeon at the Boston based Brigham and Women’s Hospital. What Dr. David Sugarbaker recommended at the time was ‘ extrapleural pneumonectomy.’
     Which at the time was a groundbreaking treatment option offered through the International Mesothelioma Program. Although having some risk associated with the procedure, it also carried great promise for the best possible outcome. Today, Heather a cancer survivor continues her work of providing unending inspiration to mesothelioma victims around the globe through her own personal blog.

   While carrying out her compassionate mission, being a beacon of HOPE for those afflicted with mesothelioma; by sharing her story of Faith, Love and Courage, both as a keynote speaker at conferences and through social media forums.
With the health care system in disarray… Maybe we should all consider prevention as a method to sustain longevity. Prevention is key and that is no more evident in the State of Minnesota. The Iron Range territory produces three hundred percent more Mesothelioma cases than the rest of Minnesota. And within Fridley, Minnesota being an Erin Brockovich cancer cluster it’s important to have the facts concerning cancer prevention.

  Generally, Minnesota has probably some of the better cancer rates in the United States. While the State, also has more people getting cancer screened than most States (60% versus the national average of 50%). While providing some really informative internet websites for cancer awareness, the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota provides State of the Art Treatment (Surgery for Mesothelioma After Radiation Therapy-SMART approaches.)

At the age of just 36, Heather Von St. James – Search (bing.com) did not expect to be diagnosed with Mesothelioma so young. Upon the diagnosis of this cancer, Heather was given just 15 months to live. On February 2nd, 2006, Heather underwent major surgery
to have her lung removed, in the hope to save her life. Heather’s sister declared the day “Lung Leavin’ Day”. 16 years later and after successful surgery, Heather is still fighting
the cause to raise awareness of the disease.

Mesothelioma, a form of cancer commonly found in the lungs or abdomen, is caused by exposure to asbestos. Simple exposure to airborne asbestos is that deadly. Whilst the number of new cases per year is approximately 3,000, an even more harrowing stat is that around 20,000,000 people are at risk of developing mesothelioma each year due to exposure to asbestos.

“When I was a girl, I wore my dad’s work coat all the time. It was covered in asbestos from his construction job” Heather claimed on the Lung Leavin’ Day website. Asbestos is still found in many industrial buildings, homes and schools and is invisible to the naked eye. Heather’s story is, unfortunately, one of many. But Lung Leavin’ Day is about, in Heather’s words “building hope and awareness”.
Asbestos and Mesothelioma is a growing problem in construction; however, it’s not alone. Almost 70% of cancer diagnosis in relation to construction health is caused by asbestosis – the next highest is exposure to silica. The APPG report released in 2020 in the UK entitled Silica – the next asbestos? explores this idea in more detail, but this is a subject that has been discussed scientifically, a long time before this date – e.g.
The Guardian in Australia stating that silica IS the new asbestos.

Lyme Warrior

Posted on October 12, 2023 by Ken

Holly Ahern: Lyme Disease Advocate and Microbiologist.

In May of 2002, my daughter was bitten by a tick.
The tick was an adult-stage female black-legged tick. It was attached to her for less than
12 hours. Although she was examined by her doctor, the bite was dismissed as a health concern. We were told that since the tick was attached for less than 36 hours and wasn’t the “right” kind of tick – it was an adult, not a nymph tick – she was at low risk for Lyme disease. She was advised to go home, and if a rash, fever, or flu-like symptoms occurred,
to return for an antibiotic treatment.

No rash appeared at the site of the tick bite.
She didn’t develop a fever or flu-like symptoms. Months passed, and the tick bite
went untreated. After setting college records for swimming and making All-American
her freshman year in college, my daughter came home for a long weekend.
On her first night home, she had a fever and complained of aches and pains.

By the next morning, her symptoms had escalated.
Over the next several weeks, she suffered with searing headaches, a heart arrhythmia, overwhelming fatigue, and sensations like electricity running up and down her arms
and legs and making her muscles feel like they were on fire (her words).
“The left side of her body went numb.”

Holly Ahern and her daughter Kaleigh in Washington DC asking for Congressional support of the 21st. Century Cures Act, the legislation that included the language that led to the creation of the HHS TBDWG. (Photo and text provided by Holly Ahern.)

Her physician and the specialists we took her to were clueless.
One even suggested that her symptoms were somehow related to her being “a girl.”
We had to request the test for Lyme disease, since not one doctor she saw even
considered that a tick-borne disease could be the root cause of her illness.
Lyme disease is caused by a remarkably insidious microbe named Borrelia.
This bacterium, a spirochete like the one that causes syphilis, has the ability to disrupt the immune response and stealthily travel through blood vessels to infect tissues surrounding the joints, the heart, and the nervous system, resulting in symptoms that occur in stages.
Diagnosis is difficult, because the features of the illness are often non-specific.
The supposed hallmark of the disease, a rash shaped like a bullseye, only occurs in a minority of patients. The only recognized test for Lyme disease is highly inaccurate as a diagnostic tool.

Every year, more than 300,000 people are bitten by ticks and develop Lyme disease.
Pinterest | Search Results for Lyme Disease | Cancer Quick Facts (solitarius.org)

Only a fraction are promptly diagnosed and treated. Despite medical and public health assertions that “most” patients with Lyme disease recover fully, the reality is that many
do not. As my daughter’s case illustrates, the longer the time between diagnosis and first treatment, the more likely that symptoms will become persistent and disabling.
My family’s journey, from tick bite to diagnosis, treatment, and resolution of my daughter’s symptoms, was long and difficult. We were marginalized by a medical system overly invested in a narrow, outdated medical perspective that hasn’t changed in over 30 years, despite newer science showing that the disease is far more complex than previously thought. We had to navigate an insurance system unwilling to reimburse for treatment of
a disease that didn’t fit the outdated definition. We had to find ways to pay for the treatments that ultimately returned my daughter to a functional state. And we had to consider what the future held for all of us should my daughter remain disabled.

All as a result of an infectious disease.
As a microbiologist and educator, I’m now working to help others navigate the difficult terrain of Lyme disease, through public education on the risks of ticks and tick-borne disease, advising on research to develop new and accurate diagnostic tests, and by advocating for policy change on the state and federal levels to improve access to
care for Lyme disease patients. These policy changes have included the formation of the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) Tick-Borne Disease Working Group (TBDWG) in 2018 to review the science and identify research gaps, as well as the legislation that, in 2016, added funding for tick-borne disease research to the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs.

The inclusion of Consumer Reviewers for the TBDRP grant program is a unique opportunity, since grant review for most federal funding agencies (such as the National Institutes of Health) does not invite the perspective of stakeholders. Serving as a Consumer Reviewer has allowed me to advocate for scientific research that will improve patients’ access to care through the development of accurate diagnostic tests, a better understanding of the biological basis for persistent symptoms of Lyme disease, and discovery of novel therapeutic approaches to improve quality of life.

Were you ever told it was all in your head?

Most Lyme patients have experienced this just further delays their diagnosis
and allows the Lyme and co-infections to get deeper into their system.

Global Conflict 101

Posted on October 9, 2023 by Ken

JOE BIDEN and his people were too busy congratulating themselves for doing nothing.
Barack Obama’s silent on Israel war because he paved the way for it (msn.com)

Uncle Sam has something more important to do, indict Trump, jail Miles Guo, fear climate change, indoctrinate the kids, print more money, prosecute your own citizens, cover up for the vaxx…busy busy. And They will be caught with their pants down again before Biden is voted out of office.

What is Hamas? Militant group behind surprise Israel attack has ruled Gaza for years.
Our CIA did it. You can’t tell me otherwise. Obama funded Iran with 6 Billion Dollars. Send the FBI and the CIA over there to Fight. If we lose American Soldiers, they will
start a Draft. While our Children grandchildren will not Die for another Country.

We have this Disaster in our Own Country Created by Traitors.
No way in a million lifetime’s nobody knew nothing. Pop up protest overnight complete with a billion Picket signs in a matter of hours around the USA? Mobilization like that doesn’t happen in a blink of an eye. On cue the squad who has been MIA all of sudden is out front leading the charge.

Right when the money got bogged down in the House with no Speaker and zero chance of appropriations by the deadline. Something stinks really bad, as MSM and its co-opted alt outlets are pushing it to a fever pitch.

“”The Middle East region is quieter today than it has been in two decades.””
The reality of millions of unknown aliens deeply embedded just got very, very troubling!
How Did Biden’s National Security Advisor Get It So Wrong One Week Before Massacre
in Israel? (westernjournal.com) Buckle up!

Everyone in the Intel and Military community was relaxed, confident, and honing up
on their “gender” definitions. In fact, on Friday, September 29th, Joe Biden’s National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan bragged… “”After rattling off a number of purported successes and accomplishments in the Middle East by President Joe Biden and his administration, Sullivan dropped this doozy:

Seems like they stood down on purpose; Hamas got the weapons from those who got
6B$ from The Biden Regime and all the billions of military equipment left for Taliban.
THE EVIL Military industrial complexes got recharged. Netanyahu is a globalist dictator.

Just Like How Hitler burned part of his own country to gain power. What about Maui?
I’m not defending Hamam’s, but we know is a super globalist, strong surveillance state,
& uses directed electromagnetic energy weapons A LOT. They know 100% what’s coming. Bidens (treason) will keep trying to spark something with Russia and China is planning something evil too. All are in it. Didn’t Obama do fast & furious to Syria w/o backlash? Hillary did Benghazi overnight. While Our southern border is open
to so many terrorists and they are here too; they have caught thousands so far.

The GOAL IS GLOBALISM.
Colossal Failure right here on our Border!
Do you see all these Protests backing Hamas here in America?
Even some of the Congress? Anybody that will support terrorists going into house’s and shooting women and children should be DEPORTED (Congress too)!!! They show you already with these Protests where their head is at, You don’t think that is to America?
IT’S HERE ALREADY! Just waiting on a plan and some more HOMIES to come here.

Israel controls every breath their Palestinian neighbors take, from water rights, food, and communications, to who goes in and who goes out. Add to that the Jewish state has the best intelligence in the world. Yet they missed this attack? Did they? What if they simply decided to sacrifice a few hundred Israeli lives for the “greater good”?
That being the justification they need to completely annihilate the enemy next door and secure their future long-term. We know those in power have no regard for human life. So, is it really that improbable?

That was a depressing 60 Minutes (only watched AI & Milley).
60 minutes 10/8/2023 – Search (bing.com)  If human intelligence agencies didn’t know an attack was coming to Israel, shouldn’t artificial intelligence have figured it out? Would an algorithm have noticed lots of shipments going to Hamas leaders? I’ve seen The Wire & Lord of War, I know there’s plenty of ways to ship a container with a fake bill of lading or the records completely disappearing.

All kinds of things can be buried in the middle of a shipping container marked as ‘humanitarian aid’. Maybe there should at least be an audit for all of the weapons that went into Ukraine? There’s now no way of knowing anything about weapons in Afghanistan. And these are the same questions America will be asking as terrorists pour over our southern border with similar plans for our country!

Israel’s intelligence is bombing Hamas leader’s homes – they know where they live and they track their movements daily – and not a clue of the meetings, planning that went on for months… not buying it. The liberals in Israel are doing to Netanyahu what American liberals did to Trump. Same playbook.
Make him look bad regardless of the consequences for Israel. They probably withheld intel. It’s because all the woke and Marxist liberal in Israel are destroying their country just like the Marxist Biden administration here appeases everyone and screws their own citizens.

I think this was a stand down and folks were wanting this to occur….doesn’t make sense
to me. Israel’s Pearl Harbor they are saying. I believe our Pearl Harbor was a stand down,
the higher ups wanted Pearl Harbor to occur to rally Americans in backing involvement in war. Something seems off. Israel’s intelligence, CIA, NATO…all caught off guard with all technology we have today? Something smells.

The Iron Dome that America funded (plus billions more for militarization) …WHERE WAS IT?!? #IStandWithIsrael #InquiringMindsWantToKnow #AmericaFirst #MAGA

Freedom Matters on GETTR Mass aid certainly failed.

The intelligence of the USA certainly was a dud.
I think one reason for the lack of loyalty to the Country and to ability to do the job required is because it is woke and bribery is prevalent. People would rather have money than be loyal. Everybody wants to be President. Look at the Present VP Jamel’s She was chosen because she is a woman and is of mixed race. When you’re chosen because of your skin color. That is racist. Let’s face it, half the population just wants to beat the hell out of anybody anybody. I notice this among the caregivers. They think nothing of hitting one another or a resident. It is scary.

This day – Yom Kippur, has always been the prime time for Israel’s enemies to attack.
It is a High Holy day, and many were participating. ……….”A great shofar will be blown, and a small still voice will be heard. The angels will make haste, and be seized with fear and trembling, and will say: “Behold, the day of judgment!”… On Rosh Hashanah it is written, and on the Yom Kippur fast it is sealed, how many will pass and how many will be created, who will live and who will die, who in his time and who not in his time… But repentance, prayer, and charity remove the evil of the decree… For You do not desire a person’s death, but rather that he repent and live. Until the day of his death, you wait for him; if he repents, you accept him immediately.”

I sensed authoritarian activity, with an oxymoronic mixture of negligence within the public and governmental sectors, going back during the last rogue reign of Obama. But ever since Trump’s escalator entrance, and C19 WMD launch, the NWO nazis, coupled with the super advancement of technology partnerships and wealth, calculated chaos intensified at warp speed. Hold on to your thinking caps and put on the armor of God warriors…. It’s going to be a bumpy ride. (edited)

A lot of questions, including: why were citizens disarmed? Why is the ownership of weapons more difficult for Israeli citizens? This was either planned “offgrid” a CIA process with extensive coordination, or it was planned by military amateurs (HIGHLY unlikely)? The Hamas war will be painful, and Hezbollah is coming into focus. “Beloved none of what you hear and only half of what you see,” my dad said to me. God bless and keep his statutes.

Why isn’t anyone talking about the Iranian spy ring that infiltrated
Biden’s State Department and Pentagon? Why?

We, The People, of the MAGA MOVEMENT.

High-Level Iranian Spy Ring Busted in Washington – Tablet Magazine
see the pattern of evil! Global Deep State Oligarchy via their evil minions coordinated
this war, too!! Their army has arrived in the US via an open border…we are next! Pray, prepare, lock, and load!! No ONE stopped the open border OR RALLIED ANYONE TO STOP IT! Just idle chit chat and video!

This whole thing stinks… and no one knew??
Bull crap. Bibi .. interest in Maui & 15 min city a few months before Maui.
Didn’t the illegitimate Obiden/ Obama regime just meet with Bibi in the last month or so?? 6 billion for Iran.. 87 billion in weapons left in Afghanistan.

American weapons all over the World. America is under invasion, and Hillary wants Maga locked up in camps. All alphabet agencies in all countries fell asleep & the UNIPARTY deep state worked with WEF for what they wanted. New World order. Americans please wake up, protect yourselves, your families and hold to your beliefs in God. Just my opinions. God bless America and our World. No funding for any Nation.

We must protect our Country & People. Just my opinion.
Before Trump got into office Israel was facing a barrage of rockets daily.
Is every government of the western world a target. How did nobody in the intelligence agencies do not know about this…. are the FBI and CIA too busy arresting Trump and his supporters …. this seems very suspicious to me…..wonder if Barack Obama was celebrating this attack….he hates Israel and America…..FJB and FBHO world partly controlled by the IMF and other globalist factions?

Absolutely, however the Israelis are the victims here— let’s not forget it.

bobJonathan on GETTR: Hamas extreme organizations shocked me for unprecedented
cruel attacks on Israel, which directly led to the death of more than 200 people…

Israel had to know. They have the best intelligence in the world.
The decision was probably made to sacrifice lives for the “greater good”. The “greater good” being the justification they needed to annihilate their Muslim neighbors in an all-out war. Just like there is a Zero chance the pentagon or the White house does not know when the US is going to be militarily attacked !!!

Didn’t US intelligence know Bin Laden was a bad guy & Bill Clinton had a chance to order his assassination but chose not to? Didn’t J Edgar Hoover know an attack was coming on Pearl Harbor and he did nothing? Of course Hoover may have been distracted picking out new dresses to wear. The only one to not hesitate to order a bad guy taken out was Trump when he approved the assassination of Soleimani.

(Verses, Bible editions and also Audio Bible on the right side.
Link https://biblehub.com/john/1-1.htm ) – Search (bing.com)

NB. The auto-texting for The Gospel of John-movie seems outright censored sometimes, & in other places it is quite absurd. Reminds me of the old battle-of-the-Bibles, noise, signal, noise… *static*, and concerted efforts to skew the meaning. [Obscure, change, remove, twist – endless tricks/devices…]

Other places are probably just technical issues, low voice/sound etc. But some places entire lines seem dropped for theological-political reasons. Beware, it is a sly devil out there. And many camps that don’t want any good for people. God’s people can also help “only so much”, sometimes. One has to pay attention to oneself too, and actively seek out answers sometimes. I felt reminded by God & long experience with these kinds of problems to post this note here. God is good.

John was one of the disciples of Yeshua the Messiah, Jesus Christ.
John later became one of the apostles and he outlived all the others.

(God clearly had some extra special plans for him.) When John was an old man, he picked up the pen and wrote in international words and phrases in (probably the unique & irreplaceable Koine-) Greek to his contemporaries and the next generations. He also wrote some of the letters and the last Book of Revelation in the New Testament, its only prophetic book, and compares to Daniel in the Tanakh/Old Testament.

For many people, the Gospel of John (or any, or many) other Bible books, will not make sense in itself.
In fact, the prophet Isaiah prayed to God that the Messiah would be sent to Israel and not to some other people because they would not understand it. They would not get it. The Bible is like a library of many books, authors, experienced over thousands of years and written down in portions over long periods of time. Entire epic scenes. Empires come and go.

It is the story of mankind that soon focuses on the national story of The Hebrews, Israelites and Judeans, later called Jews. God’s scope was always global, universal. Much greater than people imagine. Isaiah also talked about this, some 700 years before it happened. Who would believe his message, when he came?

Amazing conversation between an ex-Wahabbi-Moslem (Al Fadi) and ex-hardcore Shia Revolutionary Guard-type now Messianic/Christian Pastor Faridi, Mohamad Faridi. He came to faith in Jesus through a friend named Rasul. (Ironically – but a different kind of ‘prophet’ then.) The Persian people are sick and tired of most things, and God is hearing the people’s cry (also told in Back To Jerusalem BTJ’s book “Jesus in Iran” from ca 2014 – but this is an update to that). Faridi grew up in an area with both Zoroastrianism and “martyrs for Islam” (his uncle, the 70-80s war) now tells about a TREMENDOUS Christian revival in Iran.

Reminds me of the old battle-of-the-Bibles, noise, signal, noise… *static*, and concerted efforts to skew the meaning. [Obscure, change, remove, twist – endless tricks/devices…]

Other places are probably just technical issues, low voice/sound etc. But some places entire lines seem dropped for theological-political reasons. Beware, it is a sly devil out there. And many camps that don’t want any good for people. God’s people can also help “only so much”, sometimes. One has to pay attention to oneself too, and actively seek out answers sometimes. I felt reminded by God & long experience with these kinds of problems to post this note here. God is good.

John was one of the disciples of Yeshua the Messiah, Jesus Christ.
John later became one of the apostles and he outlived all the others.

(God clearly had some extra special plans for him.) When John was an old man, he picked up the pen and wrote in international words and phrases in (probably the unique & irreplaceable Koine-) Greek to his contemporaries and the next generations. He also wrote some of the letters and the last Book of Revelation in the New Testament, its only prophetic book, and compares to Daniel in the Tanakh/Old Testament.

For many people, the Gospel of John (or any, or many) other Bible books, will not make sense in itself.
In fact, the prophet Isaiah prayed to God that the Messiah would be sent to Israel and not to some other people because they would not understand it. They would not get it. The Bible is like a library of many books, authors, experienced over thousands of years and written down in portions over long periods of time. Entire epic scenes. Empires come and go.

It is the story of mankind that soon focuses on the national story of The Hebrews, Israelites and Judeans, later called Jews. God’s scope was always global, universal. Much greater than people imagine. Isaiah also talked about this, some 700 years before it happened. Who would believe his message, when he came?

Amazing conversation between an ex-Wahabbi-Moslem (Al Fadi) and ex-hardcore Shia Revolutionary Guard-type now Messianic/Christian Pastor Faridi, Mohamad Faridi. He came to faith in Jesus through a friend named Rasul. (Ironically – but a different kind of ‘prophet’ then.) The Persian people are sick and tired of most things, and God is hearing the people’s cry (also told in Back To Jerusalem BTJ’s book “Jesus in Iran” from ca 2014 – but this is an update to that). Faridi grew up in an area with both Zoroastrianism and “martyrs for Islam” (his uncle, the 70-80s war) now tells about a TREMENDOUS Christian revival in Iran.

In the bible it states if anything happens to Jerusalem or the Holy land its end times.

How many of you are willing to hand over the control of your own car to Joe Biden?
The answer is zero, so why did you agree to hand over control of America to him?

This act was a blatant betrayal. When you send a weak president to the White House,
you are encouraging dictators and terrorists to attack our democracies. Joe Biden had
to pay more than $6 billion to the mullahs in Tehran to retrieve the American hostages.

Don’t be surprised if now Hamas terrorists have taken hundreds of non-combatant children, elderly, and young people hostage today. Joe Biden is a good teacher for terrorists on how to make money through hostage-taking.

Compliments of the Biden regime…
Terrorists disguised as IDF going door to door murdering Israeli families,
over 300 Israelis murdered, hundreds wounded and how many kidnapped by hamas ; Biden gave hamas $6billion & lies as the mullahs “have the money” which is in Doha, Qatar & Hamas has its headquarters in – not gaza- Hamas Headquarters is in Doha, Qatar!

The heavily armed- with the most advanced US military weaponry, ordnance, vehicles including tanks & armored vehicles, aircraft, helos & most advanced night vision gear is the Taliban armed by Biden & Milley & the Taliban is headed to Israel’s borders, this is the start of Armageddon.

How It ALL Ends

Posted on October 8, 2023 by Ken

Book Review: “HOW IT ALL ENDS: AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY”.

HOW IT ALL ENDS, An American Tragedy
by Bruce Hagemeier (Author)
Friedrich Nietzsche wrote that the best way of criticizing any ideology is by realizing its ideals. This is what Bruce Hagemeier did in this well-written novel. He applied the template of WOKE ideology to American society.
Result: chaos and catastrophe. One caveat American voters should heed: beware of any politician who promises to “fundamentally change” our society.

It was not one single thing that had Americans worried.
It was the culmination of things that had come together over the years to give Americans this persistent, uncomfortable sense of foreboding. The country was coming apart. The pace of disintegration was accelerating. And there was nothing anyone could do to stop it.

The shooting of two unarmed African American men by a Los Angeles police officer provokes a paroxysm of tribal bloodlust. The riots dwarf those for George Floyd.
The country that emerges is fundamentally transformed and faced with its greatest military challenge since the Second World War.

The tectonic forces that push up some nations to greatness while grinding others down
to dust are also at work with ordinary people—forcing them to live in a world they never
asked for, never wanted and certainly never imagined.

HOW IT ALL ENDS, An American Tragedy
is an action-adventure that spans the globe.
It is also a cautionary tale about the fate that awaits a complacent citizenry
who place their trust in a decadent and corrupt ruling class. Trump had it right?

Carl Sagan predicted the present state of American life almost 26 years ago and it
is blowing people’s minds. Editor’s note: This article was originally published on

Global warming, climate change, a crashing economy and bad administration are not something unfamiliar to us today. We reap the consequences of humankind’s disastrous actions every day. However, one American astronomer reportedly predicted the current state of the US almost 26 years ago. Carl Sagan, the author of “Cosmos,”
is known for simplifying scientific concepts in layman’s terms for the average civilian.
He received many awards during and after his revolutionary career, including the
NASA Distinguished Public Service Medal, the Pulitzer Prize, two Emmy awards and the National Science Foundation‘s Distinguished Public Service Award for lifetime achievement.
He died in 1966 at the age of 62 but his predictions about the US are still proving to be true in today’s times. Charles Bergquist, the director of a public radio science program, drew the internet’s attention to Sagan’s prediction of America’s future in his book,
“The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark,” when he tweeted about it in 2017. People were shocked to read his prediction of the then-future United States as a dystopian society full of division, insecurity, mistrust and authoritarian leadership in only a few phrases.

Sagan didn’t stop there and made several other predictions that have come true
after his death. During his keynote speech at the 5th Emerging Issues Forum in 1990, Sagan outlined the impacts of climate change and the need of combating them, reports The Manual. He asked the audience a simple question, “How much money do you think the United States has spent since 1945 on the Cold War?” Sagan observes that “classic military thinking” always entails planning for the worst-case scenario. Even if it’s only a remote possibility, being prepared for a severe, existential threat is critical.

He then asks, “Why doesn’t that same argument apply to Global Warming?
If it’s only a small probability of it happening since the consequences are so serious,
don’t you have to make some serious investment to prevent it or mitigate it?”
Sagan was correct and can even now make most of us think that the current scenario might have been prevented if we all had asked ourselves these questions and decided
to do something about it.

Life Was A Blur With My Cancer DX

Posted on October 7, 2023 by Ken

Pancreatic cancer survivor was given four months to live;
six years later she shares her story – YouTube

At age 69, Pam Sander had lived a wonderful life. A former teacher and lifelong St. Louis resident, Pam had been married to her soulmate, Roy, for almost 50 years. “We finish each other’s sentences,” Pam laughs. “We’ve gotten to be the typical old married couple.”
After going to the doctor with stomach pain, Pam learned she had pancreatic cancer.
“I asked the doctor how long somebody usually lives with this,” Pam recalls.

“She said about four months.”
After realizing she wouldn’t make it to 70, Roy was overcome with sadness.
But Pam took the opportunity to reflect on how wonderful her life had been:
“How lucky I had been to live my whole life with someone I loved.
With children that I loved.
With friends that I love…so we didn’t cry anymore. We just got on with gettin’ on.”
As Pam tried to come to terms with her diagnosis, her doctor presented her with some potentially exciting news: She was eligible for a clinical trial of a new form of targeted radiation therapy, known as MRIdian, developed by ViewRay.

Discover MRIdian – ViewRay
Shortly after treatment, Pam learned that her tumor had not grown. “I felt like I could exhale,” she says. “Like we could live our lives again.” Now six years after treatment,
Pam is one of an incredibly small number of pancreatic cancer survivors who has lived more than five years.

She attributes the clinical trial using MRIdian to be saving her life: “I [feel] proud to
be part of history,” says Pam. “If this can help other people, wouldn’t that be wonderful?
It just made [me] feel like [I was] doing something worthwhile… I thank the doctors and
that machine for being my saviors.” MRIdian, developed by ViewRay. – Bing images

MRIdian by ViewRay is the world’s first radiotherapy device
with an integrated onboard MRI.

What is MRIdian (ViewRay)?
It allows the treatment of tumors previously considered untreatable.
Until recently, physicians used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to see tumors, and linear accelerators (LINAC) to treat them. MRI-LINAC is a revolutionary solution that combines both technologies in the same device. MRIdian by ViewRay is the world’s first MRI-guided radiation therapy system that can image and treat cancer patients simultaneously. It is a radiotherapy solution that integrates LINAC with MRI technology in a compact design, together with software, to locate, target, and track the position and shape of tumors while radiation is being delivered.

How does MRIdian (ViewRay) work?
As with conventional radiotherapy, the patient is placed on a table, and MRI is performed on the targeted tissues. The tumor area and surrounding healthy tissues can be visualized clearly with the aid of MRI. Real-time imaging helps physicians control the treatment process during irradiation. If a clinically important movement of targets or healthy tissues is detected, physicians can adjust the target and replan the treatment while the patient is still on the treatment couch. A new MRI scan is performed before each treatment session, allowing for tailored treatment based on the patient’s daily anatomy.
Patients play an active role in MRI-Linac radiotherapy. During treatment, the patient can monitor the tumor on a screen and adjust their breathing to keep it within the marked frame. When the treatment session is over, the patient can go home immediately.

Differences between MRIdian and conventional LINAC-based treatments
MRIdian is a new technology for advanced radiotherapy. The new therapeutic method addresses the limitations of radiation oncology. Due to its ability to see the soft tissues well and monitor radiation delivery in real-time, MRI-guided radiation therapy allows for the treatment of small or hard-to-reach tumors, tumors located close to critical structures, or tumors that move (for example, with breathing).

Compared to conventional radiotherapy, MRIdian offers advanced features:
Provides continuous imaging in real-time
Enables the physician to see tumors clearly, even in soft tissues
Allows access to hard-to-reach or moving tumors in the chest or abdomen
Tracks the movements of tumors and healthy tissues during radiation treatment
Provides real-time, on-table adaptive radiotherapy planning
Provides video recording during the treatment process and allows for visualization of progress
Enables the delivery of high doses and precise irradiation
Avoids the need for invasive and costly markers and tissue expanders
Advantages of MRIdian (ViewRay)
The MRIdian LINAC system provides significant benefits for certain patients:
Enhanced real-time tumor visualization
Tight margins and minimal radiation to surrounding healthy tissues
Few treatment sessions
Minimal side effects for the patient
Excellent safety and efficacy of radiation therapy
Improved outcomes for hard-to-treat tumors

Conditions Treatable with MRIdian (ViewRay)
MRI-LINAC can be used for all tumors throughout the body. However, it provides significant advantages for patients with lung cancer, prostate cancer, abdominal cancer, liver tumors and metastases, and pancreatic cancer in particular. Its range of applications includes breast, periaortic, lung, kidney, bladder, and pelvic lymph nodes, head and neck area, bile duct, stomach, cervix, adrenal gland, orbit, bone, spleen, gyn pelvis, thorax, aortic arch, pancreas, heart, prostate, mesenteric, abdomen (soft tissue), neck, rectal, parotid gland, pelvis, spine, esophagus, thyroid, colon, liver, extremity, mediastinal,
pelvic, soft tissue pelvic, brain, uterine, flank, gall bladder, and lingual lymph nodes, nasopharynx, ovaries, rib, and thymus.

What Types of Cancer are Treated by MRIdian?
MRIdian is used mostly for the treatment of:
Head and neck cancers
Lung cancer
Prostate cancer
Liver cancer
Gynecologic cancers
Gastrointestinal cancers
Pancreas cancer
Bile duct cancer (cholangiocarcinoma)
Breast cancer
Kidney cancer
Soft tissue sarcomas

MRIdian provides an opportunity to see and track soft tissues and tumors in real-time. This enables re-planning of the treatment course on the table if need be. MRIdian can be used in all tumors but is especially advantageous in the locations where the body has some degree of motion: the tumors located in the abdomen, the thoracal regions, etc. Tumors in these regions are in motion even during normal breathing patterns.
Therefore, the tumor area and surrounding healthy tissues can be visualized clearly (are clearly visible) with the aid of the MRIdian. In case of detecting a clinically significant movement of targets or healthy tissues, physicians are able to adjust the target and re-plan the treatment while the patient is still on the table. Keeping an eye on the findings of each treatment session, a new MRI scan could be performed before the other one. It allows a tailored treatment in accordance with the patient’s daily anatomy.
With MRIdian, it is possible to track the tumor and give the treatment at the right time and target position. It allows treatment of hard-to-reach tumors, tumors located close to critical structures, or tumors that can move during normal bodily functions such as breathing. This makes MRI-Guided Radiation Therapy unique and more effective compared to other technologies. Moreover, MRIdian therapy offers better results with little to no side effects or complications.

What Should I Expect After MRIdian Treatment?
After your tumor board decides to carry out the treatment with MRIdian, the treatment journey consists of 4 steps: simulation, planning, treatment, and follow-up. MRIdian treatment is completed between 1-5 sessions. With MRIdian, it is possible to escalate the dose while keeping the healthy tissue unharmed. Thus, MRIdian radiotherapy is finalized with fewer fractions than conventional radiotherapy. Depending on tumor localization and type, one session would take approximately between 25 to 60 minutes. You can go to their homes or hotel rooms after each treatment session. After a week, you come back to the hospital again for a control examination and tests. According to your tumor, the succeeding treatment can be planned. For instance, if MRIdian is used for a pancreatic cancer case, the patient may need to be operated on after the treatment. On the other hand, if a patient suffers from localized prostate cancer, he can cure with MRIdian treatment and will no longer need additional treatment.

What are MRIdian’s Disadvantages?
All radiotherapy treatments may bring about some side effects. Side effects of MRIdian are roughly similar to other radiation treatments. They are typically temporary and may result in respiratory, digestive, urinary, or reproductive system issues. In addition, some patients are likely to suffer from fatigue, nausea, skin irritation, and hair loss.
However, MRIdian sees and tracks healthy tissues and tumors in real-time, and consequently, it delivers the radiation beams to the tumor with utmost accuracy and causes minimum damage to healthy tissues. During the treatment, the radiation beam solely targets the tumor.
If the tumor is out of the treatment area, the system automatically stops the beam
thus decreasing the toxicity risk. Potential side effects depend on the treatment area.
For instance, after the treatment of prostate cancer, some patients face temporary urine problems or loose and frequent bowel movements.

A Longer Plan with Treatment Options

Susan Riddle

Stomach troubles a precursor to stage III pancreatic cancer
Shrinking the tumor with chemotherapy and radiation
NanoKnife and side effects
I noticed I was having minor stomach aches starting in November 2015, as best as I can remember. The stomach problems started to increase in January 2016. Since they always occurred around eating, I tried to vary my diet to get relief. Not much helped, but the stomachaches were not bad enough to go to a doctor and say I was having an upset stomach. Vomiting and diarrhea occurred occasionally but mostly after eating.
In March 2016, I developed a boil on my backside that became very painful; I could not sit down comfortably. I was forced to see my doctor at that time, and after she took care of my boil, I mentioned my stomach problems. She analyzed a stool sample and thought all was ok but recommended I see a gastrointestinal doctor. That doctor performed a sigmoidoscopy but found nothing that concerned him; however, he thought I had Gilbert’s syndrome, since my bilirubin was high.
However, since Gilbert’s syndrome should not be causing an upset stomach, occasional vomiting, or diarrhea, the gastroenterologist suggested I get a CT scan. I had the scan on April 7, 2016, and it showed a tumor and a cyst in my pancreas. I had an endoscopy on April 14; the cyst was removed, and a sample of the tumor was taken. The first round of testing was inconclusive, but a second look indicated cancer.

The diagnosis was stage III pancreatic adenocarcinoma. I was not able to have a resection of the tumor because of its location around the superior mesenteric artery. Dr. Martin Palmeri, my oncologist (now in Asheville, North Carolina), set up a treatment protocol
for me. The plan was to shrink the tumor so it was no longer wrapped around the artery, and then I would have either a resection or an irreversible electroporation (NanoKnife).
I started IV infusions of Gemzar and Abraxane on May 1, 2016.
I had these infusions once a week for two weeks and then was off for one week over a period of four months. Twice my blood counts prohibited me from getting the infusion.
I was given steroids and anti-nausea drugs at the time of each infusion.
I also took prochlorperazine and/or Zofran the day after treatment to prevent nausea.
Over the course of the four months, I was sick enough to vomit less than five times, for which I felt very thankful and blessed. On the day after the infusion, I had a great amount of energy—I assume this was from steroids.

On the second day after the infusion, I felt fatigued—not enough to severely limit my activity, but I rested more on those days. My hair was gone by the third chemo treatment, and I developed a body rash around my midsection after the third week of infusion.
After applying lotion, the rash disappeared in a couple of weeks.
After three months, I had another CT scan, which revealed a reduction in tumor size.
My CA 19-9 was dropping quickly.

Next Steps and Side Effects
The next step was radiation with Dr. William McCollough, which I underwent daily for approximately 25 days. I took Xeloda orally in conjunction with the radiation, on a schedule of 14 days on and seven days off. At the end of the 14 days of Xeloda, the bottom of my feet would get tender, but I did not develop blisters. After radiation and chemo ended, I noticed I had difficulty walking upstairs because my legs had become very weak. This lasted for about four weeks.

While I was having the radiation, I noticed a gray curtain effect in my right eye. I learned I had a retinal virus, possibly because my immune system was compromised during chemo and radiation. I had my retina surgically reattached, but the virus did quite a bit of damage and I no longer have sight in my right eye.
A CT scan a month after radiation showed the tumor was smaller and just butted up against the artery. My CA 19-9 numbers were low.

Time for NanoKnife
Dr. Palmeri recommended that I travel to Louisville, Kentucky, to meet with Dr. Robert Martin, a leader in irreversible electroporation, also known as the NanoKnife surgery.
I underwent this procedure on January 5, 2017, and the ablation was successful.
Like most NanoKnife patients, I had the recommended feeding tube in place for three months. I started chemo IV infusions of Gemzar in February 2017, along with Xeloda.
I continued this chemo regimen until July 3, 2017. I got blisters on my hands and feet from the Xeloda, so my doctor gave me a two-week holiday from the drug and then reduced my dose.

A CT scan three months after the NanoKnife surgery showed the tumor was still there but not active. Dr. Palmeri remained concerned and wanted another expert to look at the scan to see if the tumor needed to be removed. I had a PET scan and an MRI. The consensus was the tumor was so involved with my arteries that it would be dangerous to remove it, especially since I was doing well and it appeared to be dormant. Good news, but there was a cyst on my right ovary, something they had seen on a previous scan but it had gotten larger. I was referred to Dr. Timothy Vanderkwaak, a gynecologic oncologist, for my ovaries because of my cancer history.
On August 30, 2017, I had laparoscopic surgery to remove my ovaries and fallopian tubes. All went well, but the cyst was cancerous. The doctor got it all, however, and no further medication was needed. I was relieved.

Continued Vigilance
I continued to have CT scans every three months, which was a good thing because one scan detected a blood clot in my pancreas, pressing on a vein. I gave myself injections of enoxaparin for three months. The clot did not go away, but there were many collateral veins around the clot, so the injections were stopped. Isn’t it wonderful how the body heals itself?
Dr. Martin asked me if he could use samples of the tumor for research.
I signed the papers, but I do not know exactly what kind of testing was performed.
Dr. Vanderkwaak suggested testing for ovarian and breast cancer mutations. I found out that I have a BARD1 gene mutation, which increases my chances of breast and ovarian cancers. Owing to this mutation, he has suggested increased breast examinations. I was also tested for Gilbert’s syndrome. Because I have the BARD1 mutation, my oncologist changed the choice of chemo drugs ordered for me.

I had a CT scan in June that showed a lesion on my liver, and my CA 19-9 has been rising slowly. I am scheduled for an MRI, to help evaluate the liver lesion, and a meeting with my doctor in mid-July, which will determine the next steps. Praise God!

Eighteen months after sharing her story. Susan passed away.
Challenged by side effects she continued to pursue treatments and
underwent genetic testing to find one that might make a difference.
We offer our deep sympathy to her family.

No argument from me on that. However, in these particular colon
cancer patients there is an immune system deficiency in their DNA.
But again, you are so right! Well over 50% of us are obese and an alarming number
of us are morbidly obese from eating processed foods, too many carbs, not enough fruits and vegetables that have the micronutrients that are crucial to a healthy immune system.
This creates massive profits not only for the processed food industry but also for hospitals and especially pharmaceutical corporations who love to sell us more pills.

Pancreatic cancer survivor was given four months to live;
six years later she shares her story – YouTube

At age 69, Pam Sander had lived a wonderful life. A former teacher and lifelong St. Louis resident, Pam had been married to her soulmate, Roy, for almost 50 years. “We finish each other’s sentences,” Pam laughs. “We’ve gotten to be the typical old married couple.”
After going to the doctor with stomach pain, Pam learned she had pancreatic cancer.
“I asked the doctor how long somebody usually lives with this,” Pam recalls.

“She said about four months.”
After realizing she wouldn’t make it to 70, Roy was overcome with sadness.
But Pam took the opportunity to reflect on how wonderful her life had been:
“How lucky I had been to live my whole life with someone I loved.
With children that I loved.
With friends that I love…so we didn’t cry anymore. We just got on with gettin’ on.”
As Pam tried to come to terms with her diagnosis, her doctor presented her with some potentially exciting news: She was eligible for a clinical trial of a new form of targeted radiation therapy, known as MRIdian, developed by ViewRay.

Discover MRIdian – ViewRay
Shortly after treatment, Pam learned that her tumor had not grown. “I felt like I could exhale,” she says. “Like we could live our lives again.” Now six years after treatment,
Pam is one of an incredibly small number of pancreatic cancer survivors who has lived more than five years.

She attributes the clinical trial using MRIdian to be saving her life: “I [feel] proud to
be part of history,” says Pam. “If this can help other people, wouldn’t that be wonderful?
It just made [me] feel like [I was] doing something worthwhile… I thank the doctors and
that machine for being my saviors.” MRIdian, developed by ViewRay. – Bing images

MRIdian by ViewRay is the world’s first radiotherapy device
with an integrated onboard MRI.

What is MRIdian (ViewRay)?
It allows the treatment of tumors previously considered untreatable.
Until recently, physicians used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to see tumors, and linear accelerators (LINAC) to treat them. MRI-LINAC is a revolutionary solution that combines both technologies in the same device. MRIdian by ViewRay is the world’s first MRI-guided radiation therapy system that can image and treat cancer patients simultaneously. It is a radiotherapy solution that integrates LINAC with MRI technology in a compact design, together with software, to locate, target, and track the position and shape of tumors while radiation is being delivered.

How does MRIdian (ViewRay) work?
As with conventional radiotherapy, the patient is placed on a table, and MRI is performed on the targeted tissues. The tumor area and surrounding healthy tissues can be visualized clearly with the aid of MRI. Real-time imaging helps physicians control the treatment process during irradiation. If a clinically important movement of targets or healthy tissues is detected, physicians can adjust the target and replan the treatment while the patient is still on the treatment couch. A new MRI scan is performed before each treatment session, allowing for tailored treatment based on the patient’s daily anatomy.
Patients play an active role in MRI-Linac radiotherapy. During treatment, the patient can monitor the tumor on a screen and adjust their breathing to keep it within the marked frame. When the treatment session is over, the patient can go home immediately.

Differences between MRIdian and conventional LINAC-based treatments
MRIdian is a new technology for advanced radiotherapy. The new therapeutic method addresses the limitations of radiation oncology. Due to its ability to see the soft tissues well and monitor radiation delivery in real-time, MRI-guided radiation therapy allows for the treatment of small or hard-to-reach tumors, tumors located close to critical structures, or tumors that move (for example, with breathing).

Compared to conventional radiotherapy, MRIdian offers advanced features:
Provides continuous imaging in real-time
Enables the physician to see tumors clearly, even in soft tissues
Allows access to hard-to-reach or moving tumors in the chest or abdomen
Tracks the movements of tumors and healthy tissues during radiation treatment
Provides real-time, on-table adaptive radiotherapy planning
Provides video recording during the treatment process and allows for visualization of progress
Enables the delivery of high doses and precise irradiation
Avoids the need for invasive and costly markers and tissue expanders
Advantages of MRIdian (ViewRay)
The MRIdian LINAC system provides significant benefits for certain patients:
Enhanced real-time tumor visualization
Tight margins and minimal radiation to surrounding healthy tissues
Few treatment sessions
Minimal side effects for the patient
Excellent safety and efficacy of radiation therapy
Improved outcomes for hard-to-treat tumors

Conditions Treatable with MRIdian (ViewRay)
MRI-LINAC can be used for all tumors throughout the body. However, it provides significant advantages for patients with lung cancer, prostate cancer, abdominal cancer, liver tumors and metastases, and pancreatic cancer in particular. Its range of applications includes breast, periaortic, lung, kidney, bladder, and pelvic lymph nodes, head and neck area, bile duct, stomach, cervix, adrenal gland, orbit, bone, spleen, gyn pelvis, thorax, aortic arch, pancreas, heart, prostate, mesenteric, abdomen (soft tissue), neck, rectal, parotid gland, pelvis, spine, esophagus, thyroid, colon, liver, extremity, mediastinal,
pelvic, soft tissue pelvic, brain, uterine, flank, gall bladder, and lingual lymph nodes, nasopharynx, ovaries, rib, and thymus.

What Types of Cancer are Treated by MRIdian?
MRIdian is used mostly for the treatment of:
Head and neck cancers
Lung cancer
Prostate cancer
Liver cancer
Gynecologic cancers
Gastrointestinal cancers
Pancreas cancer
Bile duct cancer (cholangiocarcinoma)
Breast cancer
Kidney cancer
Soft tissue sarcomas

MRIdian provides an opportunity to see and track soft tissues and tumors in real-time. This enables re-planning of the treatment course on the table if need be. MRIdian can be used in all tumors but is especially advantageous in the locations where the body has some degree of motion: the tumors located in the abdomen, the thoracal regions, etc. Tumors in these regions are in motion even during normal breathing patterns.
Therefore, the tumor area and surrounding healthy tissues can be visualized clearly (are clearly visible) with the aid of the MRIdian. In case of detecting a clinically significant movement of targets or healthy tissues, physicians are able to adjust the target and re-plan the treatment while the patient is still on the table. Keeping an eye on the findings of each treatment session, a new MRI scan could be performed before the other one. It allows a tailored treatment in accordance with the patient’s daily anatomy.
With MRIdian, it is possible to track the tumor and give the treatment at the right time and target position. It allows treatment of hard-to-reach tumors, tumors located close to critical structures, or tumors that can move during normal bodily functions such as breathing. This makes MRI-Guided Radiation Therapy unique and more effective compared to other technologies. Moreover, MRIdian therapy offers better results with little to no side effects or complications.

What Should I Expect After MRIdian Treatment?
After your tumor board decides to carry out the treatment with MRIdian, the treatment journey consists of 4 steps: simulation, planning, treatment, and follow-up. MRIdian treatment is completed between 1-5 sessions. With MRIdian, it is possible to escalate the dose while keeping the healthy tissue unharmed. Thus, MRIdian radiotherapy is finalized with fewer fractions than conventional radiotherapy. Depending on tumor localization and type, one session would take approximately between 25 to 60 minutes. You can go to their homes or hotel rooms after each treatment session. After a week, you come back to the hospital again for a control examination and tests. According to your tumor, the succeeding treatment can be planned. For instance, if MRIdian is used for a pancreatic cancer case, the patient may need to be operated on after the treatment. On the other hand, if a patient suffers from localized prostate cancer, he can cure with MRIdian treatment and will no longer need additional treatment.

What are MRIdian’s Disadvantages?
All radiotherapy treatments may bring about some side effects. Side effects of MRIdian are roughly similar to other radiation treatments. They are typically temporary and may result in respiratory, digestive, urinary, or reproductive system issues. In addition, some patients are likely to suffer from fatigue, nausea, skin irritation, and hair loss.
However, MRIdian sees and tracks healthy tissues and tumors in real-time, and consequently, it delivers the radiation beams to the tumor with utmost accuracy and causes minimum damage to healthy tissues. During the treatment, the radiation beam solely targets the tumor.
If the tumor is out of the treatment area, the system automatically stops the beam
thus decreasing the toxicity risk. Potential side effects depend on the treatment area.
For instance, after the treatment of prostate cancer, some patients face temporary urine problems or loose and frequent bowel movements.

A Longer Plan with Treatment Options

Susan Riddle

Stomach troubles a precursor to stage III pancreatic cancer
Shrinking the tumor with chemotherapy and radiation
NanoKnife and side effects
I noticed I was having minor stomach aches starting in November 2015, as best as I can remember. The stomach problems started to increase in January 2016. Since they always occurred around eating, I tried to vary my diet to get relief. Not much helped, but the stomachaches were not bad enough to go to a doctor and say I was having an upset stomach. Vomiting and diarrhea occurred occasionally but mostly after eating.
In March 2016, I developed a boil on my backside that became very painful; I could not sit down comfortably. I was forced to see my doctor at that time, and after she took care of my boil, I mentioned my stomach problems. She analyzed a stool sample and thought all was ok but recommended I see a gastrointestinal doctor. That doctor performed a sigmoidoscopy but found nothing that concerned him; however, he thought I had Gilbert’s syndrome, since my bilirubin was high.
However, since Gilbert’s syndrome should not be causing an upset stomach, occasional vomiting, or diarrhea, the gastroenterologist suggested I get a CT scan. I had the scan on April 7, 2016, and it showed a tumor and a cyst in my pancreas. I had an endoscopy on April 14; the cyst was removed, and a sample of the tumor was taken. The first round of testing was inconclusive, but a second look indicated cancer.

A Plan to Shrink My Tumor
The diagnosis was stage III pancreatic adenocarcinoma. I was not able to have a resection of the tumor because of its location around the superior mesenteric artery. Dr. Martin Palmeri, my oncologist (now in Asheville, North Carolina), set up a treatment protocol

I also took prochlorperazine and/or Zofran the day after treatment to prevent nausea.
Over the course of the four months, I was sick enough to vomit less than five times, for which I felt very thankful and blessed. On the day after the infusion, I had a great amount of energy—I assume this was from steroids.

On the second day after the infusion, I felt fatigued—not enough to severely limit my activity, but I rested more on those days. My hair was gone by the third chemo treatment, and I developed a body rash around my midsection after the third week of infusion.

I took Xeloda orally in conjunction with the radiation, on a schedule of 14 days on and seven days off. At the end of the 14 days of Xeloda, the bottom of my feet would get tender, but I did not develop blisters.

A 39-year-old who claims his biological age is 26 shares his longevity secrets,
including enjoying pizza and wine in moderation
Story by (Rachel Hosie) •rhosie@insider.com

Chris Mirabile is an entrepreneur who claims he’s slowed down his aging.
Mirabile believes this is down to his lifestyle, not genetics.
He lives a healthy lifestyle but doesn’t over-restrict, he said.
If you listen to some of the most vocal “longevity experts” who claim to have reduced their biological age, you’d be forgiven for thinking you need to take 100-plus supplements, fast for 19 hours, and exercise for an hour a day to live a long, healthy life.

But Chris Mirabile disagrees. Bing Videos

Mirabile, a 39-year-old entrepreneur based in the US, claims his “biological age” is 26 and that he has slowed his aging by 37%. As Insider previously reported, some researchers agree it’s possible for a person to have different biological and chronological ages — but whether it’s possible to pinpoint a specific biological age is still up for debate.

1. A doctor who wrote a book on the Mediterranean diet shares his 4 favorite snacks

The Real Mediterranean Diet Simon Poole – Bing video
The Mediterranean diet is widely considered the healthiest way to eat.
Dr. Simon Poole, a dietary expert, shared his favorite Mediterranean snack ideas
with Insider. He said to try simple foods such as olives, skin-on nuts, and chocolate
(but make sure it’s dark).

The Mediterranean diet is widely considered the healthiest way to eat.
It prioritizes eating vegetables, legumes, seafood, and olive oil with minimal amounts of processed and fried foods, red meat, refined grains, sugar, and saturated fat.
Dr. Simon Poole, a dietary expert based in the UK, told Insider that there was a “very considerable amount of really good, high quality scientific research to show that it reduces the risks of really so many chronic diseases, from heart disease and stroke through to many cancers and even Alzheimer’s disease.”
It’s also associated with longevity, better mental health, and maintaining a healthy weight, so it can improve quality of life in many areas as well, Poole said. He shared four of his favorite Mediterranean diet snack ideas with Insider, following on from his favorite breakfasts, lunches, and dinners.

Olives are a great snack and popular in the Mediterranean, Poole said.

They are a brilliant source of polyphenols, which can improve digestion
and brain health as well as protect against conditions like heart disease,
and type 2 diabetes, also certain cancers, according to Healthline.
Poole recommends olives that have been preserved in extra virgin olive oil
rather than salt and brine, but it’s easy enough to wash off excess salt.
“They’re a great source of antioxidants that, of course, we get in a concentrated
form in extra virgin olive oil,” Poole said. “They’re also very filling because they contain monounsaturated fats. So a nice filling snack, but plenty of healthy fats.”

Crack Open the Science on Nuts and their Incredible Health Benefits! Bing Videos
A handful of unsalted, skin-on nuts is a big part of the Mediterranean diet, Poole said. Nuts provide good quality fats and minerals such as magnesium and zinc.
“They’re best with skins on because the protective and preservative antioxidants tend
to be on the outside of the nut, concentrated in the skins,” Poole said.
Too much salt can also increase blood pressure in some people, he added.
“If you want to have a little bit of sweetness with those nuts, mix them with some dry fruits, which we often see in trail mix snacks,” Poole said.

It was after surviving a life-threatening seizure caused by a brain tumor
at the age of 16 that Mirabile devoted himself to living younger for longer — also known
as increasing HealthSpan — which led him to found Novos, a longevity supplements company (meaning he has a vested interest in promoting anti-aging).

Dr. Simon Poole dark chocolate – Bing video
A square or two of high-percentage dark chocolate is a very filling snack, Poole said.
He recommends choosing chocolate that is 85% cocoa and has a “lovely bitter taste.”
“One square will fill you up, and people will get used to a slightly more bitter chocolate
if they wean themselves off the high sugar, low cocoa chocolate,” Poole said.
Dark chocolate is high in antioxidants, and consuming a small square a day
could reduce the risk of some diseases such as heart disease, Poole said.

“Just carry an apple or a tangerine with you, then you’re going to get a really nice little boost of sugar, but relatively slowly released with fiber and vitamin C, and other minerals,” Poole said.

Mirabile told Insider he had what’s known as the DunedinPACE Test that uses a person’s blood as a snapshot to measure their pace of aging, which was developed by researchers at Duke and Columbia universities. Although Mirabile said he doesn’t look 26, he said his results suggest he has the risk of death and disease of someone in their 20s.
Due to a family history of obesity and ill-health, Mirabile doesn’t think genetics explain what he claims is his biological age. Instead he credits a healthy lifestyle “accessible to the common, average person,” involving good sleep, a balanced diet, and regular exercise.
“It’s not for billionaires or people spending $2 million a year on testing and so on,” Mirabile said. “It’s for you and me, it’s for all of us.” It’s also not overly restrictive because he doesn’t find a super strict lifestyle sustainable, he said, which evidence shows is a universal experience. “You’re sacrificing so much from life and you’re also taking things away from your loved ones who want to have fun and do things with you,” he said.

Enjoying treats in moderation
“You’re sacrificing so much from life and you’re also taking things away from your loved ones who want to have fun and do things with you,” he said. In his 20s, Mirabile became interested in longevity research and learned that a lot of common short-term health goals related to our bodies aren’t necessarily good for long-term health, such as rapid weight loss.

With this in mind, Mirabile doesn’t deprive himself of foods he likes that, depending on how they are prepared, can be higher in sugar and saturated fats, such as pasta, pizza, tiramisu, sushi rolls, and Thai food. He just enjoys them in moderation, saving them as weekend treats, he said. “I don’t overindulge. I eat just until I feel content,” Mirabile said. He suspects he eats in a slight calorie deficit during the week and a slight surplus at the weekends, meaning his weight stays stable.

When Mirabile does order, say, a pasta dish, he’ll order one with nutritious ingredients such as garlic, spinach, and olive oil, he said. “We want to enjoy ourselves but balance the longevity benefits,” Mirabile said.
The only foods Mirabile never eats are things like greasy fried chicken: “Those types of foods never agreed with me. I get stomach aches from them and have never craved them.”
Mirabile drinks alcohol on special occasions but not every weekend, and he drinks coffee and tea too, he said. According to the World Health Organization, there is no safe amount of alcohol to drink that does not affect health, while black tea has been linked with health benefits such as a reduced risk of heart disease and stroke, and coffee could help reduce risk of chronic illness, according to research.

Mirabile eats a nutrient-dense diet during the week:
During the week, he aims to eat minimally-processed, nutrient-dense foods such as fish, eggs, probiotics such as sauerkraut and kimchi, and a diverse range of plant-based foods, including in his daily protein smoothie.
“The American Gut Project found that those who are eating more than 30 different
species of plants had the healthiest microbiomes,” Mirabile said. Having a healthy
gut microbiome has been linked to improvements to digestion, the immune system,
and mental and physical well-being.

Mirabile aims to intermittent fast every day, eating all his food in an eight-hour window — usually around 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Time-restricted eating has been linked to health benefits such as lower blood pressure and a reduced risk of diabetes.

Supplements-wise, Mirabile takes his own longevity supplements Novos Core and Boost, omega-3s, a vitamin B complex, a multivitamin, and sometimes before bed he takes a low dose of extended release melatonin and some chamomile tea with valerian extract to help him sleep.
Evidence suggests that most supplements are unnecessary for people living a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet, and overdoing it can lead to nasty side effects.

Prioritizing rest and exercise
Both exercise and sleep are thought to be key for lengthening our HealthSpan,
and Mirabile takes both seriously. He works out six days a week, incorporating both
cardio and strength work into his training, changing his workouts every so often to
keep his body guessing.

“I’m always challenging my body and tricking it, so I’m not going to get as big as a bodybuilder focused on hypertrophy, and I’m not going to be as slim as someone who’s focused purely on strength,” he said.
He aims to be in bed by between 10.30 p.m. to 11 p.m., sleeping for at least eight hours a night and tracking it with an Oura ring and Apple watch. Getting detailed sleep data led to Mirabile cutting down on alcohol after seeing how much it affected his sleep, he said.
To give himself the best chance of sleeping well, Mirabile wears an eye mask and ear plugs so he isn’t woken in the morning when his girlfriend is getting ready for her day, he said. Mirabile also uses wifi-connected light bulbs that dim and turn red automatically an hour before bed.

“It really helps me and my girlfriend ease down and when our heads hit the pillow,
we fall asleep in three or four minutes,” Mirabile said. “It really helps to get that melatonin produced and helps with the sound sleep throughout the night.”
While blue wavelength light, such as that emitted from phone screens and laptops,
is thought to suppress melatonin and keep us awake, red wavelength light has been linked
to boosting melatonin production in some small-scale studies, but substantive research is lacking.
Mariana Figueiro, director of the Mount Sinai Light and Health Research Center in
New York City, told CNN that it could be that by using red light at night, the benefit
comes from avoiding blue light.

A 39-year-old who claims his biological age is 26 shares his longevity secrets,
including enjoying pizza and wine in moderation
Story by (Rachel Hosie) •rhosie@insider.com

Chris Mirabile is an entrepreneur who claims he’s slowed down his aging.
Mirabile believes this is down to his lifestyle, not genetics.
He lives a healthy lifestyle but doesn’t over-restrict, he said.
If you listen to some of the most vocal “longevity experts” who claim to have reduced their biological age, you’d be forgiven for thinking you need to take 100-plus supplements, fast for 19 hours, and exercise for an hour a day to live a long, healthy life.

But Chris Mirabile disagrees. Bing Videos

Mirabile, a 39-year-old entrepreneur based in the US, claims his “biological age” is 26 and that he has slowed his aging by 37%. As Insider previously reported, some researchers agree it’s possible for a person to have different biological and chronological ages — but whether it’s possible to pinpoint a specific biological age is still up for debate.

The Mediterranean diet is widely considered the healthiest way to eat.
Dr. Simon Poole, a dietary expert, shared his favorite Mediterranean snack ideas
with Insider. He said to try simple foods such as olives, skin-on nuts, and chocolate
(but make sure it’s dark).

The Mediterranean diet is widely considered the healthiest way to eat.
It prioritizes eating vegetables, legumes, seafood, and olive oil with minimal amounts of processed and fried foods, red meat, refined grains, sugar, and saturated fat.
Dr. Simon Poole, a dietary expert based in the UK, told Insider that there was a “very considerable amount of really good, high quality scientific research to show that it reduces the risks of really so many chronic diseases, from heart disease and stroke through to many cancers and even Alzheimer’s disease.”
It’s also associated with longevity, better mental health, and maintaining a healthy weight, so it can improve quality of life in many areas as well, Poole said. He shared four of his favorite Mediterranean diet snack ideas with Insider, following on from his favorite breakfasts, lunches, and dinners.

Olives are a great snack and popular in the Mediterranean, Poole said.

They are a brilliant source of polyphenols, which can improve digestion
and brain health as well as protect against conditions like heart disease,
and type 2 diabetes, also certain cancers, according to Healthline.
Poole recommends olives that have been preserved in extra virgin olive oil
rather than salt and brine, but it’s easy enough to wash off excess salt.
“They’re a great source of antioxidants that, of course, we get in a concentrated
form in extra virgin olive oil,” Poole said. “They’re also very filling because they contain monounsaturated fats. So a nice filling snack, but plenty of healthy fats.”

A handful of unsalted, skin-on nuts is a big part of the Mediterranean diet, Poole said. Nuts provide good quality fats and minerals such as magnesium and zinc.
“They’re best with skins on because the protective and preservative antioxidants tend
to be on the outside of the nut, concentrated in the skins,” Poole said.
Too much salt can also increase blood pressure in some people, he added.
“If you want to have a little bit of sweetness with those nuts, mix them with some dry fruits, which we often see in trail mix snacks,” Poole said.

It was after surviving a life-threatening seizure caused by a brain tumor
at the age of 16 that Mirabile devoted himself to living younger for longer — also known
as increasing HealthSpan — which led him to found Novos, a longevity supplements company (meaning he has a vested interest in promoting anti-aging).

A square or two of high-percentage dark chocolate is a very filling snack, Poole said.
He recommends choosing chocolate that is 85% cocoa and has a “lovely bitter taste.”
“One square will fill you up, and people will get used to a slightly more bitter chocolate
if they wean themselves off the high sugar, low cocoa chocolate,” Poole said.
Dark chocolate is high in antioxidants, and consuming a small square a day
could reduce the risk of some diseases such as heart disease, Poole said.

Cancer Death Disparities

Posted on September 26, 2023 by Ken

Geographic variation in rates of cancer death in all U.S. counties.
Red shows the highest number of deaths per 100,000 persons.

River Basin States have the Highest Rates of Cancer.

Cancer death disparities linked to poverty, lifestyle factors nationwide.
Food insecurity, smoking, physical inactivity, and quality of health care are the top factors linked to cancer death disparity rates in a new Yale study. Yale researchers have identified factors that may contribute to widening cancer death disparities among counties across the United States. These factors, which include both socioeconomic and behavioral traits, may provide public health experts with specific targets for potentially reducing cancer disparities, the researchers said.

The study was published in JAMA Network Open.
While cancer death rates have decreased overall in the United States in recent decades, substantial disparities among counties still exist and are growing. To examine the factors that may drive these disparities, a team of Yale-led researchers analyzed publicly available data documenting cancer mortality rates by county. They compared the rates in low-, medium-, and high-income counties. Using a novel method known as mediation analysis, the research team identified factors that were associated with the disparities, they said.

Where in the U.S. Are You Most (And Least) Likely to Get Cancer?
The research team confirmed that there are significant county-level disparities in cancer deaths, ranging from 186 deaths per 100,000 persons in high-income counties to 230 deaths per 100,000 persons in low-income counties.
Their mediation analysis found that most of the disparities could be explained by a small number of key factors. “The most important of these factors appear to be food insecurity, smoking, physical inactivity, and the quality of health care that is provided in the counties,” said first author Jeremy O’Connor, M.D., who conducted the research while he was a National Clinician Scholar at Yale School of Medicine.
Their findings show that cancer death disparities can be attributed to a mix of factors that involve both income and behavior. “The paper suggests all of these factors are interplaying to lead to disparities,” O’Connor noted. “It’s not just health behaviors or quality of care; it’s all of the factors together.”

As part of their methodology, the researchers also created maps to illustrate the cancer death disparity rates. This approach will allow public health officials in different parts of the country to identify specific factors that affect their counties, and respond accordingly. “Instead of every county addressing all eight factors, they can target their public health programs to the factors that are most important to their community,” said O’Connor.
The study also underscores the fact that while overall cancer death rates are affected by advances in cancer treatment, much of the disparities in death rates might be attributable to issues outside of treatment, such as smoking and obesity, the researchers said.
Other study authors are Tannaz Sedghi, Meera Dhodapkar, Michael J. Kane,
and Cary P. Gross. This work is made possible by a grant from the National Center for Advancing Translational Science, a component of the National Institutes of Health. Gross has received support for research from 21st Century Oncology, Johnson & Johnson, Medtronic, Inc., and Pfizer.

The cancer rate gap by country has widened in recent years with the percentage
of people diagnosed in some countries being between four and five times that of
some other countries.

According to Dana Farber’s Blog the countries with
the ten highest cancer rates are currently as follows.

Denmark
France
Austria
Belgium
Norway
United States
Ireland
South Korea
Netherlands
New Caledonia

While the ten countries with the lowest cancer rates are
Niger
Gambia
Cape Verde
Bhutan
Yemen
Oman
Namibia
Guinea Bissau
Nepal
Mauritania

When looking at the two lists there are a few factors that stick out instantly.
The highest rates are in the developed western world while the lowest rates are predominately in more agrarian societies throughout Africa and the Middle East.
The higher rates exist in countries with much larger healthcare sectors.

This could mean one reason for the disparagement would be the abilities of industrialized nations to detect the existence of cancer in the first place. People in less developed nations are less likely to seek conventional medical attention when an issue arises. This is a major component of the existing gap. Let’s look at some other possible reasons why cancer rates may be lower in these less developed nations.

Clean Food: The agrarian economies are trading food that is a cut above any run
of the mill organic food in the west. Their soil is mostly free of synthetic chemicals and pesticides (as are their neighbors/anyone else feeding into the local soil and water supply).

Clean Water: Most of these countries drink local water that has been used dating
back to their ancestors. No contaminants like hydro-flora-solisic acid are added to their water supplies like they are in the west. Typical American town water supplies can have hundreds of parts per million of chemicals added to it at the town supply itself. While it’s true some of these nations have water supply issues from traditional influences, animal waste/high water levels, it’s the lack of chemicals, pesticides and other synthetic microscopic compounds that is absent in many of these areas.

Lack of Tech Devices; Over the past decade many high profile, public figures
have contracted brain cancer. Within the U.S. Senate alone three very tenured members, Ted Kennedy, Arlen Specter and John McCain all died from this form of cancer. They were all of a certain age where they may be more vulnerable from radiation put out by cell phones (75+). These electronic devices seem to be glued to the ears of most politicians. Less developed nations are also spared from the constant frequencies sent out by wifi as well as radio signals. The air is less polluted, both by what can be seen or unseen.

Medical presence in the first world is a major issue for catching cancer early on and coming up with a treatment plan. There are also possible issues in the “Developed World” that may be contributing factors as well. Beyond the food and water supply, stress levels and workloads are also much higher in the first world.

A farmer who feeds his or her family with what they grow has far less human interaction; both in person and online. A simpler life might be easier on the cells. Quality nutrition grown next to one’s house is a much better way to eat; a relationship with Mother Earth that has worked well for thousands of years.

Chronic stress has different symptoms than stress. Here’s how to spot the difference.
