Over a 12 year period, out of my immediate family, we've had two with tumours (benign) and one with stage 3-4 cancer of 2x types (now recovered - remission).

And I started to think...

Well we built our current home - finished in '91 at the tail end of organochlorines being used as a termite barrier. Did this set off a chain of events?

I guess this thread is a discussion of...

* causes

* exacerbation

* treatments

* prevention

There are of of course other autoimmune disorders too like SLE (aka Lupus), Rhuematoid Arthritis etc

my uncle passed away in 2006 from cancer, he was 54 years of age,

never drank, never smoked, always ate natural foods afaik.....

boxing day 2006 his daughter noticed that he wasn't walking straight, kept swaying... went to three doctors, couldn't diagnose...

...third doctor said he had an agresseive brain tumour, they removed it that week.. but within a month or so, it had grown back, and spread down his brain stem into his spine.. and his lungs etc..

..he lost the fight despite numerous treatments in early august that year.

7 months.. =(

obviously i know not of his complete day-to-day actions but however.. and terry i have you you you and only you to thank for opening my eyes about this..

but last year you made a comment about sweetners and associated foods.. and the risks you beleive are involved..

and i spread the information and beleifs and findings that you see onto all my friends and family of it.. most people i know dont use sweetner however...

but i did used to drink about 3 cans a week of pepsi max.. which has stopped.

i cannot personally thank you enough for that :)

I roamed up and down the confectionary aisles of Target to-day...

looking for chewing gum without any 951 or 950.

Do you think I could find any? > No such luck!

The one I was trying to track down was the "Blue PK" > need to go to woolies or coles I guess.

I used to get hooked on (USA) Chiclets. > Wonder if a lolly shop has them > and they're not tainted with 950 or 951

Thanks GM > I've been using Blue PK for some time now for the reason that...

951 & 950 > Gliomas like Astrocytoma of the brain, Grave's Disease, Lymphomas, worsening of certain types of Breast Cancer.

Bowel Cancer Prevention:-

I've taken note of something I recall from pharmacy days gone by.

Back in 1970 the 9th ranked cancer back then is #2 now. It's called bowel cancer. To go up 7 spots in rankings is phenomenal. Do you know anyone who's been struck by it?

By the time bleeding occurs (which of course could be just haemorrhoids), a bowel cancer is too late to treat.

Anyway, I read a medical report that aspirin causes bowel polyps to shrink and prevent apoptosis or bursting > spreading bad cells > metastasis > death

But the side effect of aspirin is that it abrades the lining of your stomach which makes you more prone to ulcers there.

Anyway, there does exist a herb that converts to aspirin after digestion and therefore does not have a detrimental effect on the Gastrointestinal Lining.

It's called Willow Bark. And it also has earned the name of 'nature's aspirin'.

Moral:- so if your ancestry shows up some bowel cancer afflictions, it might be best to take a Willow Bark tablet each day perhaps? I would.

Willow Bark for Breast and Bowel Cancer prevention > made by Mediherb > available from Naturopaths in tablet or liquid

Keep in mind that one research paper suggests that other than genes, there are 3 contributing causes of bowel cancer that if tackled, makes bowel cancer preventable...

a) physical activity

b) eating lots of fibre like psyllium as in Uncle Tobys Fibre Plus or if prone to high cholesterol, Oat Brits

c) don't repress feelings emotionally so > talk to your friends/God/your pets

Melatonin for Melanoma and Lung Cancer prevention > made by Blue Rock > available from Golden Glow and create your own account rather than pay r.r.p.

This is the hormone that is lacking if one is prone to jet lag after flying from west to east long-haul

Hope this helps Genelle and others...

Been reading your stuff Terry - very interesting. Especially the discussion around fibre - I'm in need to increase my intake as my diet doesnt reflect how I should be treating myself!

In relation to USA gum - you might want to try usafoods.com.au - I've used them in the past to source USA imported foods - they might be able to help source gum that doesnt have the nasties you are discussing above.

Thanks

Paul

TIME Mag has had one of those features again about brain tumours stemming from mobile phones placed next to an ear for long periods.

Tick for using texting

Tick for using ear devices but this is contentious in other studies

Cross for kids (ie developing brains) using mobiles

Cross for anyone who has a relative with brain tumours using mobiles for any more than a minute or two

Question:- wouldn't more girls and tradesmen/businessmen be prone to that type of cancer? Just thinking....

For those who are getting/taking chemo treatment, dont be so naive and blaze some marijuana. It will help with the pain, counter the nausea, and you'll regain your appetite. marijuana is not a drug, it's a plant. In the early days the Egyptians and Aztecs would use this as medicine.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
