Letter to the Editor: Cancer Treatment Should Be Better Prioritized

What follows below was published on May 10, 2023 in our local-weekly, community newspaper, the West Valley View. As regular readers to Dr. Kelley’s site, and to our Wednesday evening broadcast – many of you will agree with what the author has to say – but there are certain aspects that we will disagree with – one of which deals with her guidance and expectation for CON-gress to commit to what she is suggesting – and hoping for. BIG Pharma buys these elected officials off – hence – her wishes shall not come to pass. It is among our greatest concerns. ~ Ed.

Editor:
As an oncology nurse, I see patients every day who are dealing with various forms of cancer.

We should be doing everything we can to support medical research and drug development so that no family has to face heartbreaking decisions.

Recently, more price-setting policies have been included in President Biden’s health care priorities package. I worry that these additional measures could deprive patients of access to future cancer medicines and hope for a healthier, more comfortable future. Instead, I hope Congress focuses their efforts on one of the biggest headaches for many patients dealing with health issues – pharmacy benefit managers (PBM’s). Prescription drugs play a large role in oncology because many forms of cancer are treated with a combination of medications and care. Continue reading

Doctor who discovered she had stage 4 colon cancer at age 37…

…shares the warning signs that could save a life – including ‘pelvic heaviness’

A Florida gynecologist discovered her own stage 4 colon cancer despite suffering just two mild symptoms.

Dr Lauren Juyia, 38, started feeling fatigued last year but like most people would do, dismissed it as a part of life.

It wasn’t until Dr Juyia, who works in Brooksville and Clearwater, Florida, started feeling ‘pelvic heaviness’ last August that she decided to get an ultrasound.

Tests showed she had a small mass growing on her ovaries, which within a few weeks grew from 8 centimeters to 24 centimeters. It turned out the cause was actually later-stage colon cancer that had spread.

She is now spreading awareness of the warning signs to watch out for. Continue reading

Florida nurse, 24, who couldn’t stop burping is diagnosed with stage 3 CANCER

She warns others not to overlook unusual symptoms

A Florida nurse who couldn’t stop burping has revealed her symptom was caused by undiagnosed, late-stage cancer.

In 2021, Bailey McBreen, 24, started burping up to 10 times a day – something which was ‘not normal’ for her.

She put the symptom off for months, but she got checked when it progressed to acid reflux and ‘excruciating’ stomach cramps.

Ms McBreen, who exercised multiple times a week, was eventually diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer – which came as a ‘huge shock’ to her and her family.

Though burping as a sign of cancer may seem bizarre, colon cancer can cause obstructions in the digestive tract, leading to excess gas. Continue reading

Are These Cancer-Causing Foods in Your Diet?

Cancer is a systemic disease with various causes, some of which include a poor diet, toxin exposure, nutrient deficiencies and to some extent genetics. One extremely important way to prevent and/or treat cancer is nutritionally, through eating a nutrient-dense diet and avoiding things that are known to increase cancer risk.

But for many people navigating the modern-day food system often seems overwhelming. Ingredients in ultra-processed foods are being blamed for everything health-related, from cancer and diabetes, to reduced kidney function and bone loss. Only adding to the confusion, sometimes even the way we cook otherwise-healthy foods puts them in the cancer-causing foods category. Continue reading

Leibowitz: Valley Firefighter a Miracle on 2 Feet

Gilbert Aguirre (West Valley View File Photo)

If the measure of a human is how they bear up when life turns ugly, then Gilbert Aguirre is stronger than all of us, a testament to what can be survived and the power of faith.

His body has been attacked, his spirit shattered, his finances destroyed, his family visited by death. Yet whenever we meet, he hugs me and offers up his small, shy smile.

Husband, father, firefighter, son of God, cancer survivor, plaintiff. Aguirre is all those things. He is also surely the strongest man walking. Continue reading

Cancers and other diseases are “rapidly developing” among people vaccinated against COVID-19

There are many recorded cases of vaccine injuries and vaccine deaths during the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. An oncologist in the U.K. has written an open letter to the editor-in-chief of the medical journal The BMJ to warn about the harmful effects of coronavirus vaccines that must be “aired and debated immediately,” especially since cancers and other diseases are quickly progressing among vaccinated people. Continue reading

Big Pharma says new mRNA “vaccines” for cancer and heart disease will be “ready by end of the decade

The corporate-controlled media is leaping with joy over a new range of “vaccines” for conditions like cancer and heart disease that the pharmaceutical industry has slated to unleash by the year 2030.

None other than Moderna, which had never successfully produced a single vaccine before being chosen by the Trump administration for inclusion in the Operation Warp Speed covid “vaccine” scam, is promising to release a slate of new messenger RNA (mRNA) injections for everything from cancer and cardiovascular disease to autoimmune disease and RSV (respiratory syncytial virus).

EPA Under Fire Over Approval of Cancer-Causing Plastic-Based Fuel

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is facing a lawsuit filed by a community group and questions from a U.S. senator over the agency’s approval of fuels made from discarded plastic under a program the agency touted as “climate-friendly.”

The new scrutiny is in response to an earlier investigation by ProPublica and the Guardian that revealed the EPA approved the new chemicals even though its own scientists calculated that pollution from the production of one of the plastic-based fuels was so toxic that one in four people exposed to it over their lifetime would be expected to develop cancer.

That risk is 250,000 times greater than the level usually considered acceptable by the EPA division that approves new chemicals, and it’s higher than the lifetime risk of cancer for current smokers. Continue reading

Banned Cancer-Causing Chemicals Found in 88% of Household Products

Researchers found short-chain chlorinated paraffins, (or SCCPs) — a group of cancer-causing chemicals used in metalworking and the production of PVC, plastics, rubbers and other materials — in a wide array of household products, according to a study published Tuesday in Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts.

Banned chemicals that potentially cause cancer in humans have been discovered in a wide array of household products, according to a study published Tuesday in the journal Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts. Continue reading

Preventing the Latest Texas Two-Step by Koch Industries on Cancer Liability

Bankruptcy was never meant as a panacea for profitable companies to shirk liability claims – especially on an issue as serious as this.

Johnson & Johnson Voluntarily Recalls Baby Powder For Asbestos Contamination
SAN ANSELMO, CALIFORNIA – OCTOBER 18: In this photo illustration, a container of Johnson’s baby powder made by Johnson and Johnson sits on a table on October 18, 2019 in San Anselmo, California. Johnson & Johnson, the maker of Johnson’s baby powder, announced a voluntary recall of 33,000 bottles of baby powder after federal regulators found trace amounts of asbestos in a single bottle of the product.

A recent legal decision in a case involving Johnson & Johnson (J&J) may ultimately impact the massive profits Koch Industries and its Georgia-Pacific subsidiary have been raking in while sidestepping asbestos liability claims. At the end of January, a federal appeals court ruled that J&J could not shield itself from pending lawsuits arising from exposure to its now off-the-market baby powder by transferring them to a new subsidiary and then declaring that company bankrupt.

Visualizing the Relationship Between Cancer and Lifespan

A Newfound Link Between Cancer and Aging?
A new study in 2022 reveals a thought-provoking relationship between how long animals live and how quickly their genetic codes mutate.

Cancer is a product of time and mutations, and so researchers investigated its onset and impact within 16 unique mammals. A new perspective on DNA mutation broadens our understanding of aging and cancer development – and how we might be able to control it. Continue reading

Six warning signs of stomach cancer…

Revealed after Andrew Lloyd Webber shares son’s ‘critically ill‘ diagnosis…

Excess weight increases the risk of stomach, liver, ovary, gall bladder, pancreas, thyroid, blood cancer and a type of brain tumour, researchers from Washington University found

Loss of appetite, feeling sick and having no energy are all warning signs of stomach cancer.

There are around 4,200 deaths due to tumours in the stomach in the UK every year, says Cancer Research, while there are about 11,130 in the US.

But symptoms of the cancer can be hard to spot. Continue reading

Top Gun DOWN: Military pilots have 87% higher risk of melanoma and worse overall cancer rates

Pentagon study shows even ground crews are getting sick

Pilots and ground crews have higher rates of several types of cancer than the average across the US population

A Pentagon study has found high rates of cancer among military pilots and for the first time has shown that ground crews who fuel, maintain and launch those aircraft have also developed life-threatening conditions.

The data had long been sought by retired military aviators, who have raised alarms for years about the number of air and ground crew members they knew who had cancer, but previous military studies showed cancer rates were on par with the general US population. Continue reading
