No is the answer, not true treatments anyways, chemo will have no benefit in any form if there’s no cancer… As to doing your best to prevent, of course, eat well, drink less alcohol, make sure you keep your body as clear as you can of free radicals using supplements, many many ways you can likely prolong the inevitable if it is truly indeed inevitable but you can’t fight genetic code but you can make sure all the other systems are running as optimally as possible through lifestyle and supplementation.

just get regular checkups. In a lot of cases, the treatment can be worse than the disease. I first was diagnosed with NHL in 2008 but didn't need treatment until 2018 & if I had been smart I would have a avoided a lot (or all) of the treatment I'm receiving. Treatment can also increase your chances of getting a different type of cancer later in life.

Below is a text from a link to newscientist.com from Wim Hof's Twitter page.

"Cold exposure stops tumour growth in mice by hijacking glucose stores

Being continuously exposed to 4°C (39°F) for 20 days inhibited tumour growth and improved the survival of mice with five different types of cancerous cells

A brown fat cell, surrounded by capillaries, captured via a coloured scanning electron micrograph. Activating brown fat through cold exposure may cause it to burn glucose, which cancerous tumour cells rely on for growth

Cold temperatures could inhibit the growth of cancerous cells, according to research conducted in mice and one person with Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Exposure to low temperatures is thought to prompt brown fat cells to burn glucose, cancer cells’ dominant energy source.

Some existing cancer treatments disrupt glucose uptake to slow or prevent tumour growth. These tend to be administered via drugs, rather than whole-body exposure to cold therapy. Drugs may have more side effects and complex administration regimens, relative to cold therapy.

To test cold therapy’s potential, Yihai Cao at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden and his colleagues implanted five different types of cancerous cells into a group of mice. Some of the rodents were then continuously exposed to very low temperatures, but above freezing, for 20 days.

This exposure activated the mice’s brown fat tissue, which burns energy rather than storing it, reducing the tumours’ energy supply.

These mice went on to have considerable tumour inhibition and a survival rate that was almost double that of mice that received no treatment.

“This is really something new: not directly targeting cancer cells, but rather altering global metabolism in the body to affect tumours,” says Cao.

To eliminate the possibility that the tumour suppression was down to something other than the cold therapy, Cao and his team intervened in several ways. After surgically removing the cold-exposed mice’s brown fat, or turning off the gene by which brown fat generates heat, tumour inhibition was absent.

The inhibition was also absent when the mice were fed a high-glucose diet, suggesting that the tumours’ growth was inhibited by a lack of glucose. The team also performed a genetic analysis on the cold-exposed tumours, finding a decrease in markers associated with glucose consumption.

In a second part of the experiment, Cao and his team exposed a group of six healthy human volunteers to 16°C (61°F) for 2 to 6 hours a day for two weeks. Similarly to the mice, the volunteers’ brown fat tissue became activated.

The researchers then continuously exposed a person with Hodgkin’s lymphoma to 22°C (72°F) for seven days. Not only did their brown fat become activated, their tumours also consumed less glucose over this period.

The results are solid, but more research needs to be carried out, both in animals and in humans with tumours, says Katiuscia Bianchi at the Barts Cancer Institute in London.

According to Saverio Tardito at the Beatson Institute in Glasgow, UK, the mice tumour growth results are “striking”. But given that this treatment would most likely be administered in combination with chemotherapy, it might negatively affect chemotherapy drugs, he says, which has to be ruled out before any joint treatments are carried out.

Cao himself concedes that the genetic variation in people’s brown fat and its response to cold might make the treatment unsuitable for some. People with later-stage cancer who have already lost weight also may be unable to risk losing more through brown fat-driven energy consumption, he says."

very cool, thanks

You are welcome. Check out Rife machines too. Invented by Royal Raymond Rife who used frequency to treat patients. Interesting stuff

Synthetic drug treatments are not the way forward at this time watts .
Living a clean lifestyle is & what we put into our bodies plays a big part to a healthy life .
If u want any help on this you can dm anytime

The only thing you can do is live your best life for your parents, try not to focus on things you have no control over.

Raise or donate some money to cancer research this may help you focus on something more positive.
All the best👍

Living a healthy lifestyle is underrated when trying to prevent cancer. Imo

think of it the other way around, bad diet gives you cancer what are the processes that enable that?

My Grandma used to swear she could smell cancer as well as see it in a person's eyes. She proved to be right several times.

Like a dog but more expensive ;)

and doesn't require enslavement of a biological organism but lets not quibble.

Tell me you don't understand dogs without telling me you don't understand dogs.

I tried to like this comment twice

And when you thought this world couldn’t come up with even more creative ideas it comes and strikes again👏🏼

But I can't forget the blood of teens.

Is that prescription?

A prescription drug can not be as natural but it can be much, much purer. Think of concentrates vs weed.

Prescriptions use synthetic as they cant use plants as every plants different. So nothing like Extracts Vs Weed. Unless you're using Spice as an example.

This is like early bitcoin - 1st they laugh at you

Did you see the Netflix thing about crispr

Making glow in the dark rats etc?

Don't think anyones going to get far in their shed with it but big business very possible.

Kinda worrying actually.

Hepatitis C inflames the liver, and over the course of many years, this leads to scarring. Most people with hepatitis C never experience significant scarring or complications, but about 20 percent develop cirrhosis, which is advanced scarring throughout the liver, even then it can take 30 or 40 years for cirrhosis to develop.

Meanwhile, the liver is resilient — when damage occurs, the liver goes to work to regenerate itself. The more cells the liver regenerates, the higher the chances that a mutation will occur in one of those cells, and it’s these mutations that can lead to cancer.

What about Hepatitis B? I have that and the doctor sais not to worry about it.

Normally it heals by it self. As long as the whites of your eyes and/or your skin don't start to turn yellow you're good

Look up dr sebi. He reversed everything from cancer to sickle cell even aids and proved it in supreme court.

That's a new one for me but it's interesting.

what country?

If we can shut down the fucking world for a tiny population of vulnerable people can we just give up war for the rest of us?

YAY!!! Glasgow was also the first city to name Mandela a freeman. At the time the british goverment were calling him a terrorist.
Glasgow is a rare place where people will help you and fight for what is right against all odds.

Or stab ye for supporting the wrong football team 🤷‍♂️ 🤣

Glasgows great, but it's full of Weegies. Gotta deduct points for that, even us Fifers find them odd.

Hehehehehehehehe!!!

Is there such thing as a DIY biopsy?

Seems pretty tough, you need to be able to reach the skin, cut yourself without fucking up maybe novocaine to do it right, keep the sample sterile and cool now get it to the lab. I'm not sure they will even accept it you should start by asking them if you are serious.

Or you could just use one of these

Great but these aren't on the market yet are they

This is the kind of device that will get repressed by the medical authorities, its an existential threat to them.

How long has it been like that?
Was it getting irritated by what you wear?
What part of your chest is it?
How is your hygiene?

Have a close look at this mole, does it have a hair growing out of it, even if it is a tiny tiny one?

Moles with hair do not turn into malignant tumours such as cancer.

Nevertheless, I'd suggest to show it to an oncologist.

I've had the mole forever but it just got funny in the last few days, it's coming a bit down since the post though. It's right in the middle of my sternum on both axes. My hygeine is good but I should note my laptop battery sits right over the area for hours a day.

No hair, that's a really good one though I didn't know that.

Thanks a lot, I can't afford an oncologist so this is all especially appreciated.

I am glad the inflammation is less.
The mole must have got irritated from constant contact with the battery.

But better be safe than sorry. Go and see a professional.

Is there no state "provided" dermatologist where you live?

Otherwise, A.D.D.MEN idea seems doable, no?

:)

You mean Locutus, right?

Nah locutus of borg is his own person not picard :)

I'm a bigga not a picka dammit

The Pen Pipe! Just turn the metal tip into a bowl brah

Holy shit! Did that in school 15+ years ago. Do kids even have pens at school anymore!?!?!

I bought a device on eBay that screws onto almost any bottle, turning it into a bong. When the bong water gets nasty just throw the bottle away and attach it to a new bottle. It's not completely DIY but it still has some merit nonetheless. Besides, nobody likes dealing with bong water and it's easier to hide when compared to a regular bong.

People we need to turn our bottles into bongs!

where were you . Back in the day I remember so many times we could have used this. why didnt we ever think of this. lol.. love it. thankyou

When we were little the wikihow salesman used to come door to door with books like this

Not a bong

and this is not the Hacker News, chill.

At least he didn't downvote and turn it all grey

Bit heavy on the toxins but will get you there in times of need.

Thats incredible haha

Consider the Apple Bong.

It would cost 500 bucks and be worth it

Toilet paper bong is the other end of the market

That they would sell newer versions of there Bong every few months. That cost more then the last one and has miner improvements. Auto makers found it didn't work for them but it has worked for Apple

Dude I thought this but you gotta see the new green one

you mean worth shit mean while we have this https://stundenglass.com/

It would be the most overpriced worthless bong. Haha

If you mean best and don't mind finding some tubing and drilling you will have something that beats most expensive bongs

Cut the bottom off a 2 litre bottle of pop, stick it in a bucket of water, use a milk bottle foil cap to to make a cap and fill with weed. Light it and pull up. Make sure you press down as you inhale.

Ahhh the old bucket method. Takes me back to the 90s that one!

We used to do these with a cheap bottle of pop from Kwik Save, a foil KitKat wrapper, and then go to the local park and subtlely make use of the penny wish fountain!

The good old days! 😂😂

Cheers BB 😊👍

we once used a drinking fountin bottle, a speaker grill (for gauze) and pulled it in a m8's bath ...lmao

Haha awesome

Try, a 500 ML soda bottle + a few inches of garden hose + cake icing socket... voila !! Homemade shotgun bong

Shit that works!

just need a soda can and a pin make a can pipe

Similar to what we done back in the day!

The bottle and small pipe combo is the most quality and convenience I have ever had the high honor to imbibe.

You take a real simple weed pipe, metal or glass, and stick it in the mouth of the bottle.

If the bottle is plastic use any sharp object to stick a hole at the base.

Hold the bottle horizontally, put a straw in that hole and prepare for a monstrosity of a hit.

If it's a glass bottle you need something super sharp for the hole at the bottom, the tip of a strong knife or an ice pick does the job easily.

Water is optional, you don't need and its hard to balance. The best part of this is no cleanup, chuck the bottle when you are done, imagine a bong with a disposable chamber, that's what you got now bro.

I think what you have there is a DIY steam roller, I had one of these and loved it, yes water is totally optional its the expansion that does the magic and water is almost guaranteed to make a mess.

Pringles tube!!

can make joint or burning Bong, put ice cube in base of it..

Delish and mouth piece is big and makes air tight seal on my fat cheeks 👌

Some genius Bong ingenuity here!
Another pro cannabis point proven from this topic alone:

You give smokers a bunch of weed and nothing to smoke it with and suddenly they become engineers! Brilliant. : D

My special skill is that I can McGyver a bong out of almost anything.

Basically, as long as you have tin foil you can do anything. Make pipes: a few wraps, tight around a pencil, seal with scotchtape lengthways. Fan out the end before doing so. Tear a circle of tinfoil, and a pin ("anyone wearing a badge?"), open the back page of an unloved book, place the foil on the paper, and tap the pin up and down repeatedly and you have a perfectly serviceable gauze that you can poke in the end of your fanned pipe.

I prefer not to smoke out of anything plastic. Just seems like we know not to burn plastic in the outdoors, so keep that shit away from your lungs, right?

Fruit has always been a friend for the thrown together party bong. Watermelon is obviously beautifully carvable. Always thought a papaya, with its natural internal chamber and a couple of pipes would probably be viable. Poke holes into the fruit with a screwdriver or, if you don't have one, a pencil or pen.

Finally, you can make an incredible ice bong, but it's a faff. Get two barbeque skewers. Place them in a pint glass, of water with the ends 10cm from the bottom of the glass. I made an inverted kind of A frame with some tinfoil to hold them. If you do the same, keep the crossbar out of the water. Freeze the glass.

Boil the kettle. Use a combination of twisting and pulling to extract the metal skewers. Then, tilt so that one side is facing down over a sink and slowly pour boiling water into the holes. Eventually, you'll have a bong. Make a tin foil gauze. Smoke like a muthafking champion.

Bag bong-get a 2 litre pop bottle cut bottom of,then attach a pedal bin bag to the bottom where its cut of with tape,then attach a length of string to the bottom of the bag so you can pull it to draw the smoke in,then cut a hole in the cap and make a bowl with some foil,put holes in with a pin-done.

Put your choice of cannabis in the bowl when lighting it have your foot on the string and pull up,the smoke will enter the bottle as the bag is drawn out.

Unscrew the lid and inhale ALL the smoke,hold,then blow it back in and pull on the string again so it fills up again,repeat until all the smoke is gone.

You will be high as fuck.
Some call these a lung.

Old skool budget way! If you know you know 😜

Ps - Buck & foil 😜

We have only tried the Apple bong. It’s very interesting

We made a coconut one once, didn't last long.
My goto was
Plastic Plumbing down pipe
Aerosol can lid that fitted snugly.
Bluetack or silicone around the base to help keep it airtight
Electrical tape on the outside at the top of the can lid, again to keep airtight
Copper plumbing pipe, with a connector on the end for the bowl.
Made a hole in the plumbing tube, heated up with a lighter, you can push the copper tube through.
More bluetack/ tape or silicone around that area so it was airtight.
Rush hole about an inch above and to the side.
Finally name it, we always called them Billy.

All items provided by grandparents garages!

nice way to get poisioned from the copper

Someone should get on to Carlsberg. Currently, Carlsberg don't make bongs but if they did, they'd probably be the best bongs in the world

Small Fanta bottle, they're already the right shape. Lighter to make holes on front and back in the right places for a rush/carb and a downpipe. Then use a bit of garden hose for downpipe with a bit off a socket set in the end to use as a cylinder cone. Then either a circle cutting from the metal gauze in a coffee percolator as a screen, or a piece of foil with some pin holes in, or just a small ball of foil. Schmoke it up in style, all for the price of a small bottle of Fanta. 💚💦

The simplest bong/pipe I made was a used can of coke.Dent the can enough to rest weed on and put pinholes in it, simples!

Some of my favourite emergency methods...and I consider myself a bit of an expert...
Pop a L shape hole through an apple, carrott or similar using a kebab stick, scoop out a cone with your fingernail. Chuff away.
"Pin ups" Flip a badge on it's back stick a lump of hash on it, ignite and stick any glass over the top. Slide the glass to the edge of a table and suck the cooled contents out of the gap.
Bamboo Bong - Made by Thai locals in seconds with a couple of swipes of a machete. Scoop some water from a stream and your off.
Papaya stem (hollow with a coney end) straight into a cola bottle seal the neck with your lips and finger. Hey presto. Indonesian bong.

A milk bottle
