BTW did you know that apricot kernels contain arsenic? Apparently they also cure cancer... Now there's the real issue - why are the drug companies making a motza selling chemo drugs when you can get the same result chewing a few apricot seeds?

Maybe Silleopethy works because people become euphoric when they find such a simple, cost effective cure, and then die happy??

:D :D :D
Don't forget our Traditions midge. Tassy and NZ aren't appropriate (though the NZ solution is appealing)Quote:

Gee your lo0t of grumpy old buggers, just think how lucky we are that we are not Seppo's. I pay medicare levy, I pay to have my suits drycleaned, I pay for my tools for work.......yet if i owned my own business or if i was a tradesman (those people put on a pedastal by the tax office) I could claim all of this, my 4 wheel drive, my saws, my overalls cleaned yet still only pay 30 cents in the dollar tax......
What's fair Now??????
I actually did a bit of research into the apricot kernel thing (when I say 'research' I did a bit of Googling) for my old man.
Being of good Celtic stock, he has been regularly having bits burnt and cut off for the last few years by way of thanks for his days working out of doors. He'd heard about this apricot kernel thing and wanted to try them out.
Apparently health food shops here are not allowed to sell them. This is part of the conspiracy theory, they have been banned because of pressure from the chemo drug companies. It probably wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that people have died from arsenic poisoning after eating too many of them. But then that's what 'they' want us to think.
It's an interesting story actually. A community of people in some mountains somewhere who have zero cancer - diet consists mainly of apricots which they grow in their orchards - a staple is a paste made from the ground kernels - some bloke hears about them, does tests, claims that the extract cures cancer - tries to get clinical trials - shut down by FDA - results of secret tests leaked, yes it does cure cancer - scientist who worked on the trials speaks out but later changes story - people die - extract is banned.
The old man takes them and he hasn't had a skin cancer since, even says one that was starting to develop has disappeared (still gets regular checkup), read into that what you will. He also reckons he got a friend to give them to his daughter, who was in the last stages of cervical cancer and she is now in remission.
I'm personally a bit skeptical but if Silleopethy works then why not, I say. And what's more you can't claim it on Medicare.
Midge, I think you need so share some of those pills with Silent. The purple ones if you can reach that far under the chemist's bench :D

Sounds like the story of "Laetrile"Quote:

The 'accepted' medical opinion is that it is at best ineffective and at worst life-threatening. Does that mean it doesn't work? Who can say? Like I said, I'm skeptical.
I thought you were SilentC.Quote:

I really don't know either, but it has been around for quite a while now and goes in and out of repute.Quote:

That's where the real interest lies. Just say the stuff does work. If you were making a killing (sorry) selling chemo drugs and someone came along with something that actually works and that anybody can produce, wouldn't you do everything in your power to supress it?
The point, Jack, is that all members of a society have an obligation to that society.Quote:
