    Post Is that time of the year for boobs

    Yes, breast cancer awareness month...one of my least favorite awareness months. I really can't stand all the "race for the cure" and similar fundraisers that are common during this time of the year.

    My maternal grandma had breast cancer. It disappeared by having chemo and having a partial mastectomy, not by walking and/or running. Her big sis had it, too but in her case it also spread to other parts of her body...and died at age 82 battling bone cancer (she looked identical to Rosa from "Orange is the New Black" when she died). Did any of those silly fundraisers helped her? No. What helped her have a better quality of life? Getting medical attention from an oncologist.

    Let's learn the moral of this story: cancer, due to its nature (a mutation of cells caused by different forms of radiation) cannot be "cured" in the same sense bacterial infections can be cured nor it can go away the same way most virus can. So, no amount of pink ribbons and pink pens will cure breast cancer. Why? Most money raised from those fundraisers go into the pockets of the CEOs and companies promoting those events, very little goes into scientific research.

    Sadly I agree w/ a lot of this. You're correct that cancer behaves in a drastically different manner than virus/bacteria/parasite-caused illnesses. Unless they can find a way to, essentially, completely retard cell growth/development, there is probably not much hope of a 'cure'. I have grown pretty suspicious of fundraising for most 'causes' in my old age, if not downright disgusted, bc as you said, it's mostly a 'feel good' thing for the participants & too often a pocket-thickener for the organisers.

    Wow, it seems I'm not the only one who feels this way.

    There IS a cure for breast cancer. Turkey Tail mushrooms. But does the U.S. or the breast cancer researchers/fundraisers want anyone to know this? No, of course not. There is too much money in breast cancer. But, ladies, there is a cure!

    ^^^The FDA approved them over two years ago!!! Those mushrooms are old news already.

    They're used as a supplement to conventional medicine treatments, not a definite cure. If they were an actual cure, there won't be people dying of cancer.

    Please, pick up a biology book and educate yourself about the actual biochemical component of cancer: it can't be cured by simply eating a specific food just like that. This type of mentality is harmful and more people die due to not receiving proper treatment believing some fungi ALONE will cure them.

    ::sigh:: I know enough about biology and mycology, and there is plenty of proof on the subject. There have been plenty of cases of people taking them with chemotherapy treatments and showing that the tumors in the breasts were completely gone. It doesn't take much to look it up.

    The reason people are still dying is because they are not taking part in this treatment.

    Anyway, it's "alternative" medicine, something I am obviously an advocate of. Take it or leave it.
