28 year-old Chiara Corbella has died and at her funeral in Rome, there was joy amid the sorrow. “I am going to heaven to take care of Maria and David, you stay here with Dad. I will pray for you,” Chiara said in a letter for Francisco that she wrote one week before her death. Chiara’s husband, Enrico Petrillo, said he experienced “a story of love on the cross.” Speaking to Vatican Radio, he said that they learned from their three children that there is no difference in a life that lasts 30 minutes or 100 years.

Study: Depo Provera Use Increases Breast Cancer Risk

Study: Depo Provera Use Increases Breast Cancer Risk

A new study of women using the Depo Provera birth control drug finds the risk of breast cancer is increased, according to information released today from the on Abortion/Breast Cancer.

The group notes a study of 1,028 women ages 20-44 in the April 15, 2012 issue of Cancer Research found that recent users of Depo Provera (DMPA) for 12 months or more had a statistically significant 2.2-fold increased risk of developing invasive breast cancer.

The authors, Christopher Li and his team (including Janet Daling) at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center called it the “first large scale U.S. study” examining the link between Depo Provera and breast cancer. They concluded it’s the fifth study “conducted over a diverse group of countries that have observed that recent DMPA use is associated with a 1.5- to 2.3-fold increased risk of breast cancer.”

Li’s team said the 2003 Women’s Health Initiative study of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) “strongly suggest” that agents containing progestin, “medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA), in particular, increase a woman’s risk of breast cancer.” MPA combined with estrogen raised risk by 24%, while estrogen only replacement therapy “had a nonstatistically significant reduced risk.”

Joel Brind, professor of human biology and endocrinology at Baruch College, City University of New York, commented on the new study, saying, “In the case of DMPA or any other progestin-only pill, the estrogen component is provided by the woman’s own ovarian estrogen.”

The DMPA-breast cancer link supports an abortion-breast cancer link in the same way cancer-causing oral contraceptives (the pill) and combined (estrogen + progestin) HRT, says Karen Malec of the Abortion/Breast Cancer group. Malec faulted the Obama administration for promoting cancer-causing drugs and devices at the same time it accuses pro-life advocates of engaging in a so-called “War on Women” by standing up for conscience rights on abortion and birth control.

“Cancer groups should have implemented a nationwide awareness campaign about the DMPA-breast cancer link, but it’s no surprise they didn’t,” Malec continued. “They’ve lied to women about the risks of abortion, oral contraceptives and combined hormone replacement therapy for decades. They still haven’t reported that two studies since 2009 strongly linked oral contraceptive use with the deadly triple-negative breast cancer.”

My Two Cents Worth

A local pharmacist told me what I suspected, all along; that many of these birth control drugs causes horrific “birth defects,” when mothers who take it, during the first few months of pregnancy, not knowing they’re pregnant and it could harm their babies.

Proof that, what the Catholic Church says that Artificial Contraceptives are not only “Intrinsically Evil,” they are detrimental to the health and life of the mother and health and life of her unborn baby, should she get pregnant.

Babies born with half a heart, half a brain stem, etcetera, are born and only live a short amount of times, thanks to the foolishness of the doctors who give this drug to mothers; and mothers who take this drug, from their doctors.

More folks to pray for on my rosary, tonight.

Random Versus Targeted Biopsies for Colorectal Cancer Surveillance in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Random Versus Targeted Biopsies for Colorectal Cancer Surveillance in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Doctor said there were no polyps, “everything is fine” yet, he took preliminary biopsies.

Why would he do that, if nothing is wrong? I cannot shake the feeling that something is not quite right.

Oh well. At least, I didn’t wake up during the procedure or feel the pain. They gave me a totally different drug and it worked great! So, thanks for the prayers.

I suppose they’ll call me, if they find a problem. Until then, I’m giving it to God.

Sleep Apnea Tied to Increased Cancer Risk

Sleep Apnea Tied to Increased Cancer Risk

“Two new studies have found that people with sleep apnea, a common disorder that causes snoring, fatigue and dangerous pauses in breathing at night, have a higher risk of cancer. The new research marks the first time that sleep apnea has been linked to cancer in humans.”

“In one of the new studies, researchers in Spain followed thousands of patients at sleep clinics and found that those with the most severe forms of sleep apnea had a 65 percent greater risk of developing cancer of any kind. The second study, of about 1,500 government workers in Wisconsin, showed that those with the most breathing abnormalities at night had five times the rate of dying from cancer as people without the sleep disorder. Both research teams only looked at cancer diagnoses and outcomes in general, without focusing on any specific type of cancer.”

CPAP Machine helps treat Sleep Apnea

My Two Cents Worth

I have sleep apnea, but I do not use the CPAP Machine. Why? I have had Rhinoplasty Surgery, by an ENT. But, I still have smashed cartilage, thanks to three of the facial injuries.

After reading this article, I’m wondering if the decrease in oxygen is the impetus for any cancer to get kick started. To me that may mean anaerobic glycolysis maybe the “cause of cancer genes replicating.” I think this information is phenomenal. All my science classes, in college equipmented me with a curious mind. Just wondering out loud. I could be wrong.

Signs and Symptoms of Colon Cancer include …

May8

Signs and symptoms of colon cancer include: …

1. A change in your bowel habits, including diarrhea or constipation or a change in the consistency of your stool

2. Rectal bleeding or blood in your stool

3. Persistent abdominal discomfort, such as cramps, gas or pain

4. A feeling that your bowel doesn’t empty completely

5. Weakness or fatigue

6. Unexplained weight loss

“Many people with colon cancer experience no symptoms in the early stages of the disease. When symptoms appear, they’ll likely vary, depending on the cancer’s size and location in your large intestine.”

When to see a doctor

“If you notice any symptoms of colon cancer, such as blood in your stool or a persistent change in bowel habits, make an appointment with your doctor.”

My Two Cents Worth

My mom had colon cancer and it is carried in the mother’s mitochondria to any daughters she may have. My mom had 5 daughters.

“Group pigmentation” in both eyes is an indication that a person may get this disease. It is not easy to hear, but I mention it, in case colon cancer runs in your family. It’s best to know, because early detection can save lives.

April is National Oral Cancer Awareness Month

National Oral Cancer Awareness Month

“April is National Oral Cancer Awareness Month, and a great time to become aware of the signs and symptoms of oral cancer–one of the only types of cancer that is on the rise rather than the decline. This is mostly from lack of awareness. People often don’t talk about oral cancer, or get screened often enough. 30,000 Americans are diagnosed every year with oral cancer, and within the first year, the survival rate of oral cancer is 50%. It is really important to catch oral cancer early, because in the early stages it can be very treatable. Treating oral cancer in its more advanced state can cause chronic pain, and even facial disfigurement from the surgeries involved.”

Signs and Symptoms

1. Any lump, sore, or ulcer that does not heal in 2 weeks

2. A sore that bleeds and doesn’t heal in 2 weeks

3. Patches that are red or white

4. Pain in the mouth that does not heal in 2 weeks

5. Ear pain

6. Enlargement of thyroid or lymph nodes/external neck mass

7. Trouble chewing/swallowing

8. Hoarseness

9. Sore throat that does not heal in 2 weeks

10. Numbness or burning of the mouth

11. Swelling or difficulty extending the tongue

12. Skin rashes that suddenly appear


“Dentists have been proven to “play a key role in diagnosing oral cancer.”

(One of my relatives chews tobacco, so I posted this for him to read.)

Depo-Provera, doubles a woman’s risk of breast cancer – Obamacare Subsidizes Cancer-Causing Birth Control Drugs

Apr16

LifeNews.com Link for this article here: Obamacare Subsidizes Cancer-Causing Birth Control Drugs

Direct Quotation from 2 paragraphs, in this article:


“As the Obama Administration’s assault on religious liberties and individual freedom from the HHS mandate continues, the liberal, feminist blog “Jezebel” alerts readers that the injectable contraception shot, Depo-Provera, doubles a woman’s risk of breast cancer.”

“Doubles a woman’s risk of breast cancer. That’s worth repeating. The shot is used by about 1.2 million women in this country. Because of the HHS mandate, now women will be able to get this breast cancer-inducing drug for free and have it paid for by their employer, willingly or not.”

“Breast Cancer: Its link to Abortion and the Birth Control Pill.” Book by: Dr. Chris Kahlenborn

“Breast Cancer: Its link to Abortion and the Birth Control Pill.”

Book by: Dr. Chris Kahlenborn

“One of the goals of this book is to make this complicated subject understandable. Too often, “experts” (the researchers behind the studies) not only tell us what a study means – they tell us what “they think” the implications of the study are. The readers are often left in the frustrating position of trusting the researchers’ opinions and are unable to critique the results for themselves. This subject is too important to leave the facts and their interpretation in the hands of a few experts, many of whom are subject to intense political and financial pressures. It is time for the people to decide for themselves whether or not today’s women are at significantly increased risk for breast cancer because of having an induced abortion at an early age and/or by taking oral contraceptives at a young age.”

“Almost every reader of this book has a mother, a sister, an aunt or a friend who has or had breast cancer. Breast cancer is the most common cause of cancer death in the U.S. in women ages 20-59. In the U.S. nearly 1 out of every 8 women will develop breast cancer over the course of her lifetime.”
