I don’t think the medical industry is really interested in curing cancer. Treating it, maybe, but if they find an actual cure, they won’t make as much money.

I hate few things in life, but #bigPharma for profit is my biggest trauma. Nearly 40 years of hell, and in the end pushed nearly to death because it was a first year FDA study. They wanted stats. It cost 90,000 USD and that was only one of the meds, which is now causing blindness

Much more work needs to be done in botany - nature is the place we normally have found medicine, we amplify it and patent it in labs. Cannabis RSO and CBD are both known to slow certain tumor growths as well as provide pain relief without the hospital euthanasia known as opiates.

I’m not a fan of opiates either. Did you hear about this Australian berry? snopes.com/fact-check/scient…

Don't even get me started tonight on the opiates. Grrrr. No, but gonna look now. Most of what helps me is 1. Avoidance of stress (ha) 2. Yoga 3. Mindfulness 4. Art Therapy 5. Watching out for toxicity in others 6. Self-forgiveness 7. Nutrition 8. Fresh air and nature

Replying to @mholzschlag @strimble
and most of all: Friends like you. Loyal, true, no matter what. Cuz I can be a handful and I know it and have no intention of stopping my eccentricity unless it becomes truly harmful.

Thank you. I’ve had my share of harmful eccentrics already. You’re not one of the harmful ones. All of the things that are supposed to help with stress are very difficult to do with a toddler around.
