Why won’t FOX News remove their “Bin Laden Already Dead” article from December 26, 2001?
Question by goyishe: Why won’t FOX News remove their “Bin Laden Already Dead” article from December 26, 2001?
I can’t understand why the White House is claiming that they murdered him back in May 2011, but FOX still has the report of bin Laden dying of natural causes in 2001.
It actually makes more sense that bin Laden died in 2001 because he allegedly was sick from a kidney ailment, so you can see all why this would be confusing for some.
Report: Bin Laden Already Dead
Wednesday, December 26, 2001
Usama bin Laden has died a peaceful death due to an untreated lung complication, the Pakistan Observer reported, citing a Taliban leader who allegedly attended the funeral of the Al Qaeda leader.

Medcal article written about the possibility of back pain being connected to chemo and radiation therapy drugs?
Question by joyce w: Medcal article written about the possibility of back pain being connected to chemo and radiation therapy drugs?
It was recently brought to my attention that there might be a connection between chemotherapy drugs used and radiation therapy
that could have caused the pain issues that I’m having.
Best answer:
Answer by Teresa A
It is very possible that it has effected the rest of your body. Chemo and radiation go through your whole body and does effect your joints. My son had lots of back pain during his chemo treatments. Ask your doctor if there is something to help or some kind of physical therapy you can do for your back.
Good luck!

Article Summary: World governments should conduct serious campaigns against smoking?
Question by : Article Summary: World governments should conduct serious campaigns against smoking?
‘ WORLD GOVERNMENTS SHOULD CONDUCT SERIOUS CAMPAIGNS AGAINST SMOKING ’.
If you smoke and you still don’t believe that there’s a definite link between smoking and bronchial troubles, heart disease and lung cancer, then you are certainly deceiving yourself. No one will accuse you of hypocrisy. Let us just say that you are suffering from a bad case of wishful thinking. This needn’t make you too uncomfortable because you are in good company. Whenever the subject of smoking and health is raised, the governments of most countries hear no evil, see no evil and smell no evil. Admittedly, a few governments have taken timid measures. In Britain, for instance, cigarette advertising has been banned on television. The conscience of the nation is appeased, while the population continues to puff its way to smoky, cancerous death. You don’t have to look very far to find out why the official reactions to medical findings have been so luke-warm. The answer is simply money. Tobacco is a wonderful commodity to tax. It’s almost like a tax on our daily bread. In tax revenue alone, the government of Britain collects enough from smokers to pay for its entire educational facilities. So while the authorities point out ever so discreetly that smoking may, conceivably, be harmful, it doesn’t do to shout too loudly about it. This is surely the most short-sighted policy you could imagine. While money is eagerly collected in vast sums with one hand, it is paid out in increasinly vaster sums with the other. Enormous amounts are spent on cancer research and on efforts to cure people suffering from the disease. Countless valuable lives are lost. In the long run, there is no doubt that everybody would be much better-off if smoking were banned altogether. Of course, we are not ready for such drastic action. But if the governments of the world were honestly concerned about the welfare of their peoples, you’d think they’d conduct aggressive anti- smoking campaigns. Far from it! The tobacco industry is allowed to spend staggering sums on advertising. Its advertising is as insidious as it is dishonest. We are never shown pictures of real smokers coughing up their lungs early in the morning. That would never do. The advertisements always depict virile, clean-shaven young men. They suggest it is manly to smoke, even positively healthy! Smoking is associated with the great open-air life, with beautiful girls, true love and togetherness. What utter nonsense! For a start, governments could begin by banning all cigarette and tobacco advertising and should then conduct anti-smoking advertising campaigns of their own. Smoking should be banned in all public places like theatres, cinemas and restaurants. Great efforts should be made to inform young people especially of the dire consequences of taking up the habit. A horrific warning – say, a picture of a death’s head – should be included in every packet of cigarettes that is sold. As individuals we are certainly weak, but if governments acted honestly and courageously, they could protect us from ourselves.

Answer by Max Molyneux
The next public-health war will be against obesity. Are you prepared for the government to be this involved in your life? Cf. www.ucl.ac.uk/hbrc/tobacco/pubs/What%20lessons_85.pdf. People die for a variety of reasons, often lifestyle related. Do people have the right to parachute, ski, climb mountains, travel to Mexico, work in a convenience store in a bad part of town, have babies, drive a car? Death is never an attractive event, but people make choices that expose them to the risk of dying in one way or another. Government policies based on fear are not a healthy precedent for a free society.

Question by Jack S: jut one paragram to explain the main idea and prbolem about this article, please!?
A diagnosis of prostate cancer is scary enough. But just as scary is that nobody can tell a man the best way to treat it.
This month, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality issued a sweeping review of prostate cancer treatments, including surgical removal, radiation, hormone therapy and so-called watchful waiting, which involves careful monitoring but no active treatment until the cancer shows signs of growing.
Because none of these treatments emerged as superior, the agency came to the troubling conclusion that it could not recommend one over the others.
“Having been involved in this area for a long time, it was not shocking, but it is disappointing,” said Dr. Timothy J. Wilt, lead researcher on the report, from the Minneapolis Veterans Affairs Center for Chronic Disease Outcomes Research. “Information is really lacking to determine whether over all one treatment is more effective and preferred.”
Prostate cancer is the single most common cancer in the United States and the second most lethal among men after lung cancer. In 2008, the American Cancer Society estimates, 186,320 men will learn that they have it and 28,660 will die from it. The estimates for breast cancer are 182,460 and 40,480.
Prostate cancer is often diagnosed with a blood test that looks for prostate-specific antigen, P.S.A. There is widespread consensus that the test casts too wide a net, resulting in overdiagnosis and overtreatment. And the treatment can be devastating, leaving men impotent, incontinent or both.
The reasons behind the lack of data on prostate cancer are complex. A lack of financing and advocacy have roles. But so does the fact that prostate tumors grow slowly and can take 10 or more years to turn deadly. Not only does that make the disease particularly expensive and time consuming to study, but it is also a built-in disincentive for the drug industry, which typically has patent protection from 7 to 20 years.
A bigger obstacle to finding answers may be the patients, who have long been reluctant to participate in clinical trials, and their doctors, who tend to scorn such trials because they are already convinced that their chosen treatment is the best option.
One major clinical trial called Spirit, for Surgical Prostatectomy Versus Interstitial Radiation Intervention Trial, would have compared surgical removal with brachytherapy, which involves implanting radioactive seeds. Just 56 of the 1,980 needed patients enrolled, and the trial was called off in 2004.
“Men don’t go into the clinical trials,” said Dr. Daniel P. Petrylak, associate professor of medicine and director of the genitourinary oncology program at the Columbia University Medical Center. “That’s the whole problem. Patients ask me all the time, ‘What is the best treatment?’ And I can’t give them an evidence-based approach for that, because we don’t have the data.”
Prostate doctors and patient advocates often compare their cause with that of the other leading sex-specific cancer: one of the largest prostate cancer support groups is called Us Too, a play on the Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization. The dismal state of prostate cancer research and advocacy pales in comparison to the campaign against breast cancer.
“We’re at least a decade behind where breast cancer awareness is,” Thomas Kirk, president of Us Too, said. “We need to catch up. The lessons learned by breast cancer are the ones we’re trying to apply to prostate cancer.”
Prostate cancer groups have tried to replicate the success of the pink ribbon campaign with their own blue ribbon, but it has yet to gain widespread acceptance. A group advocating the development of imaging technology for prostate screening created a mascot, Prosty the Spokesgland, complete with a theme song, to the tune of “Frosty the Snowman.” Not surprisingly, it has not caught on, either.
Government spending for prostate cancer lags, too. In 2007, the National Cancer Institute spent an estimated $ 551.1 million on breast cancer research and $ 305.6 million on prostate cancer. For 2008, the Defense Department, which has a history of supporting health research, has allocated $ 138 million for breast cancer and $ 80 million for prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer researchers say the real problem is not so much financing as enlisting doctors and patients on board for clinical trials.
By 2010, men should have some answers from Pivot, the Prostate Cancer Intervention Versus Observation Trial, which is comparing surgical removal with watchful waiting. Results of studies looking at P.S.A. screening as well as the preventive benefits of the supplements vitamin E and selenium are also expected in a few years

Answer by Thomas K
This article puzzles me. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer last fall, and I had all kinds of options.
As for the PSA test casting a wide net, the doctors all admit that a high PSA test doesn’t represent cancer, and to the best of my knowledge, no one undergoes cancer treatment based on one PSA test; the tip-off for a closer look is called PSA acceleration, or a rapid change in the PSA.
My PSA jumped from 1.5 to a 2.3 in one year (I’m 55 and had an otherwise healthy prostate). My Dr scheduled a retest a few month down the road. When that test came back a tad higher, that triggered a reference to a urologist who did a biopsy, a pretty easy procedure. The biopsy contained cancer cells – pretty easy diagnosis.
For treatment options, I sought out 2 surgeons, a local one and one at John Hopkins. There is a lot of data out there, and I believe I was given enough information to make an informed decision (I’m an engineer by training). The choice was mine, and I elected to use the DiVinci robot. The survival rates, as well as recovery rates for other treatments are a matter of record.
While at John Hopkins, I was asked to partake in a study already underway to determine a better marker than a PSA – I agreed.
As for the holistic treatment, I have taken a supplement that contains 50 mcg of selenium and 400 IU of Vit E for probably 30 years or more. I also take Ginko (120 mg x2daily, and had taken Saw Palmetto) I sauna frequently, but have been sedentary of late.

Suriviving Cancer: It Takes a Village
Survivorship for both adults and children means more than overcoming the cancer itself. Many experts said the surprising number of survivors is a wake-up call to all physicians in every specialty to not only understand their patients’ cancer history but also the long-term effects of the disease and the treatment.
“The current thought is oncologists take care of cancer patients,” said Dr. Lisa Diller, clinical director of pediatric oncology at Dana Farber Cancer Institute. “But cancer is not a lethal disease anymore, and now maybe the oncologist is no longer the center of a patient’s health care.”
The chances of cancer reoccurring depend on the form of cancer. Many cancer survivors endure long-term health effects, including infertility, osteoporosis and even post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of some cancer therapies. Some may also experience secondary cancers as a result of some types of treatments.
“These effects manifest themselves unrelated to their cancer,” said Diller. “The people who provide primary care in this country will need to know more about how to care wholly for cancer survivors.”
Many larger medical centers, especially specialized cancer centers, are doing just that. Messages poured in to ABC News’ Medical Unit from more than 25 medical and cancer specialty centers across the nation, describing comprehensive survivorship programs. The programs work with health care providers from various subspecialties who help assess a survivor’s medical and mental health needs after treatment.
“It’s important to understand the cancer you had and the risk of recurrence or other health concerns,” said Diller.
Unlike support groups, many of these programs offer individualized after-treatment plans for survivors. The University of Chicago Medical Center runs a sexual medicine clinic to help women who have survived breast or gynecological cancer regain their sexual independence.
Experts Say After-Cancer Care Crucial to Survival
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles conducts a program that helps survivors overcome “chemobrain,” a term used to describe adjustment disorders, and cognitive and learning disabilities, which can be side effects of extensive chemotherapy.
“I think there is hope for many. Despite diagnosis, people are surviving because of treatment options and supportive and follow-up care,” said Jacobs.
Pardi said he was surprised to hear the number of survivors was so high — especially since he recalled that his aunt, who had lung cancer, did not survive — but was glad to hear there were more like him.
“Ever since I’ve been in remission, I haven’t felt like cancer is a part of my life,” said Pardi, who said he continues to receive routine screenings and annual follow-up care for his childhood leukemia.
Pardi said he’d kept his baseball cards and, with help from his oncologist, traded in the cancer.
“I really think the real definition of cancer survivor,” said Pardi, “is someone who can almost 100 percent put the cancer behind them and move on to live just as full a life.”

From the album “Necroticism: Descanting The Insalubrious” (1991). Lyrics: Salutiferous exaltation, through fusty spatterings I sift, Cauterizing proud flesh, pyogenic cortex I just yearn to rip, With impalpable, cathartic tools, dilapidated lusts I gratify, Cold premediated surgery, in my calculated surgery I hold your fragile life… Pultacious… Pugnacious… Pernicious… Acro-idiopathic… Artificially concussed, excavating to your gastric core, Patulous, deep wounds, cascading and crimson as I explore, Master at my bloody art, I like to carve sculpture and maim, Mounted on the freezer’s geurney, you’re exhibited until you enter into decay… Pultacious… Pugnacious… Delicious… Gastric-idiopathology… Welcome to my theatre, the stage upon which I act, Turning into a sumptuous perfomance, heiniously I hew and gash, Churning out a deep gulch, the incision a major nick, A quick toke of nitrous oxide is how I get my kicks… Expurgating healthy tissue, opulent flesh I slit, Costate cuts expunged as the patient I now fillet, Malpractising and mussing, carnage hyperventilates, Self placebonic, the only is operate… The recumbent are my prey – under my genital blade, Your precordium I brutally plunder – whilst you’re put under Exanguinating – you’re totally parched, Exenterating – removing body parts, Wholly abraded – Surgically maimed, Decortication – Medically slain Contaminating, infacting, how I love to cough and sneeze, On the carneous culture, to cause bacteria …

Canadian team discovers gene that turns cancers off
VANCOUVER
August 13, 2007 at 6:49 PM EDT
A unique gene that can stop cancerous cells from multiplying into tumours has been discovered by a team of scientists at the B.C. Cancer Agency in Vancouver.
The team, led by Dr. Poul Sorensen, says the gene has the power to suppress the growth of human tumours in multiple cancers, including breast, lung and liver.
The gene, HACE 1, helps cells fight off stress that, left unchecked, opens the door to formation of multiple tumours.
Dr. Sorensen’s team found cancerous cells form tumours when HACE 1 is inactive, but when additional stress such as radiation is added, tumour growth is rampant.
Kick-starting HACE 1 prevented those cells from forming tumours.
The study appears in the advance online publication of Nature Medicine.

Yes, I saw this in our news. It’s still going to be a while before it’s being used in general medical treatment. The trials continue.
They expect it to be used in general medicine in the next couple of years.
