Guest guest Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Gloria,I have my own crazy theories about cancer. It was one of the reasons I went into the medical field. I still think my thoughts have credence but I've never gotten a chance to prove or disprove them. My dad quit smoking 30 years before he died of lung cancer. 30 years. I had a friend who died of lung cancer who never smoked a day in his life and was one of those second hand smoke fanatics who freak out if they are in the same atmosphere as someone who is smoking. I think there is way more about cancer than medical science has uncovered and I think they missed the basics and that's why there is no cure. I think if they'd look at why some people don't get it they'd make more headway. We are exposed to so many cancer causing agents in our lifetime but some of us have the ability to fight it off. Kinda like how some people can spontaneously clear a Hep C infection. I think that those of us that couldn't spontaneously clear it have something inherently wrong with our immune system. My theory about cancer is quite similar. The people who wind up with cancer had something missing, therefore there body couldn't just fight it off on it's own.. what that something is... that's where I need to go back and work in a medical lab again to find out! Oh, to be able to work in a research facility... so many questions... Now you have yet another of my crazy theories on life!

I'm sure that was it. But he brought the car around and handed me a coke and as soon as he pulled away from the curb he told me there were smokes in the glove compartment! And I was off! Smoking again! I am so bad. Hugs,Teri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 TeriI know that my own belief is that we all have cancer genes in our bodies. Then, it may depend on either the way you live your life or outside sources that you had no control over and then it sets the cancer in motion.Just think, if I did not have the HepC, that damaged my liver to the cirrhotic side, I may not have to be worrying about it now. However, I don't know if that would be put down to the I've lived my life and plain old outside sources.Gloria Gloria,I have my own crazy theories about cancer.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Teri,At the expense of being ostracized as a whacko, you're right...high levels of Vitamin C, D, E, highly oxygenated blood when diagnosed...none of these cures are seen as recognized or even viable possible cancer cures in this country. Not saying any of these are the one, but have run across these in my 'studies', really wish they were more recognized or investigated without reprisals here.SteveLife is much more fun when thought of as a scavenger hunt as opposed to a surprise party.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 FYI, I quit smoking September 14th I was on Wellbutrin. Never got the urge again to smoke. Try it. My husband smoked for 35 years and quit it's been almost 3 years he went on Chantix. The stuff works if you take it as directed. I quit before for 10 years on my own. I wasn't a big smoker. But when I was popping perks I wanted to smoke that's why I started again, when I herniated my back they gave me percosets. Hmmmm, it is strange because my husband now found that spot on his lung that they have to look into. He said he thinks because he stopped smoking it unearthed something on the lung?? I think subconsciously, your body is telling you to stop because their is something wrong? My take. Because when people stop they find a problem. But they can't figure out why? sharon From: Gloria <gadamscan@...> Sent: Wed, January 5, 2011 8:00:13 PMSubject: [ ] Smoking - Teri TeriThe husband quit smoking about 3 weeks before he passed away!!

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Sharon,I was actually on the clinical trial for Wellbutrin when it came out as an anti-smoking aid. That stuff was like speed to me. I didn't sleep for the first 4 days I was on it. I really cut back on smoking while I was on it but never quit. I was given a prescription for it several times after that but it never quite worked for me. I guess part of my problem is that I've never really wanted to quit. Every time I've tried to quit it's been for the wrong reasons. Never cause I'm done.
