Will Cancer Prove to be Another Weapon in Israel's War in Gaza?

"When the Second Battle of Fallujah, part of America’s nightmarish war in Iraq, ended in December 2004, the embattled city was a toxic warzone, contaminated with munitions, depleted uranium (DU), and poisoned dust from collapsed buildings. Not surprisingly, in the years that followed, cancer rates increased almost exponentially there."

"Israel's relentless death machine has created at least 50 million tons of rubble, human remains, and hazardous materials — all the noxious ingredients necessary for a future cancer epidemic."

Well, the Big C rollercoaster threw me a nasty yesterday.

It turns out I have something called Lynch Syndrome, which is a genetic abnormality on one or more of a small number of genes. I have one, just one, but that one means some of my cells can't repair damaged DNA. This puts me at increased risk of not just prostate cancer (we knew about that already!) but also colorectal, intestinal, stomach, pancreas and others.

When will it end?

It also explains why my prostate cancer was so aggressive and the metastases presented in an unusual way.

Being genetic though, I may have passed that on to my kids. And that sucks.

Scientists at the University of Florida created a personalized #mRNA #vaccine that, in early #human trials, rapidly reprogrammed patients’ #immune systems to attack #glioblastoma within 48 hours; tested on four individuals and inspired by #COVID19 vaccine technology, it bypasses chemotherapy and radiation, shows promise as a potential universal #cancer treatment, and has sparked both hope andskepticism as trials expand, including to children. Will #maga shut this down as well...

This is what real strength looks like.💪🏾

💥Meet my #fitness clients, Judy and John. At 76 years young, they’ve completely transformed their lives since starting online strength training with me in 2022.

🎗️One is a #cancer survivor, and both have shown that consistent movement at home can change everything. They’ve gone from using resistance bands to enjoying gardening, and from doing push-ups to keeping up with their grandkids. 💥

In June, ProPublica reported that the FDA has given more than 20 foreign factories a special pass to send drugs to the U.S. even though they were made at plants the agency had banned.

Today, we’re publishing a list of those exempted drugs.
