Chemo and radiation have something like a 5-25% success rate, depending on what type of cancer or who is compiling the statistics(and that ignores when cancer comes back). That's hardly great success. Plus it wrecks the rest of your body in the process.

Everyone knows that cancer is a myth perpetuated by the Government in collaboration with the Medical-Industrial Complex to screw tax payers out of money for expensive and dangerous treatments for things they don't have.

You should check out the documentary (or at least read up on the story), it's pretty interesting and relatively credible. They really took pains to quote/cite the documentation of the whole case in detail, and there's a lot of footage from the trials/hearings on it.

I failed my exam. I won't know the actual grade for another 6 weeks.

I am very interested.

Steve Jobs tried "alternative treatment" and we all know how that turned out.

The exam is held every other month, so now I have to decide if I want to take it again in April or wait until June and take a bunch of time off.

I think I came pretty close to passing.

That's a massive oversimplification. The guy ate a horribly imbalanced diet.

 

[Einherjar86]

Oh, you know him?

 

[Dak]

His biography documented him as switching from one radical diet/fad to the next, not just after cancer diagnosis, but for much of his life.

Of course, it could all be lies. He might not even be dead. /conspiracy

So tomorrow is my first day as teacher at the school for train engineers here. Feels kinda weird as most students are like 2-5 years older than me, and all other teachers are like twice my age.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

That sounds like a pretty badass school to teach in.

Yesterday was full of win.

Last Wednesday my grandpa (92) fell and broke four ribs. So after he pulled himself inside and got to the phone he called me so I rushed over there and helped him to the emergency room and stayed with him there until he was released. Well that meant I had to miss my classes for the first time this semester (I had missing class so much, not to mention there was a really awesome guest speaker in my motorsports course). Well I showed up yesterday to class and found out I didn't miss anything. Tomorrow I have my first test in econ, my programming class was just review and we did classwork together and turned it in and review the homework due tomorrow, and my motorsports course we just bsed the whole time. Winning.

Btw, the story my grandpa told me at the hospital was that he was chasing some tail down the street and saw another woman in distress so he went to help her out and got jumped by five ninjas. I believed him.

Took a class last year with the same sort of material. It's amazing how fast that information escaped me once the class ended.
