1)An applicant was filling out a job application. When he came to the question, "Have you ever been arrested?" He answered, "No."

The next question, intended for people who had answered in the affirmative to the last one, was "Why?" The applicant answered it anyway: "Never got caught."

______________________________________...

2)Employer to applicant: "In this job we need someone who is responsible."

Applicant: "I'm the one you want. On my last job, every time anything went wrong, they said I was responsible."

______________________________________...

3)"Young man, do you think you can handle a variety of work?"

"I ought to be able to. I've had ten different jobs in four months."

______________________________________...

4)Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources person asked a young applicant fresh out of Business School, "And what starting salary are you looking for?"

The applicant said, "In the neighborhood of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package."

The interviewer said, "Well, what would you say to a package of 5-weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased every two years - say, a red Corvette?"

The applicant sat up straight and said, "Wow! Are you kidding?"

And the interviewer replied, "Yeah, but you started it."

______________________________________...

5)In a job interview for policemen the applicants are shown a profile picture of a man, and the interviewer says, "The job that you're applying for requires powers of observation. Make one observation about this man."

The first applicant enters and says, "This man has just one ear."

"Get out!!" screams the interviewer.

The second applicant enters and says, "This man has one ear."

"Get out!!" screams the interviewer again.

Then the third applicant gets up to go in for his interview. The first two guys are out there and they tell him, "The guy that's giving the interview doesn't like to hear that the man in the picture has one ear."

"Thanks for the tip" says the third applicant.

So the third applicant enters, stares at the picture for a while and finally he says, "This man wears contact lenses."

The interviewer is impressed and says, "Excellent observation. Tell me, how could you tell?"

So the guy says, "Well, this man has just one ear, how could he wear glasses?"

______________________________________...

6)When you hire people that are smarter than you are, you prove you are smarter than they are.

7)The local sheriff was looking for a deputy, so Gomer went in to try out for the job.

"Okay," the sheriff drawled, "Gomer, what is 1 and 1?"

"11" he replied.

The sheriff thought to himself, "That's not what I meant, but he's right."

"What two days of the week start with the letter 'T'?"

"Today and tomorrow."

The sheriff was again surprised that Gomer supplied a correct answer that he had never thought of himself.

"Now Gomer, listen carefully: Who killed Abraham Lincoln?"

Gomer looked a little surprised himself, then thought really hard for a minute and finally admitted, "I don't know."

"Well, why don't you go home and work on that one for a while?"

So, Gomer wandered over to the barbershop where his pals were waiting to hear the results of the interview. Gomer was exultant. "It went great! First day on the job and I'm already working on a murder case!"

______________________________________...

8)A man applied for a job as an industrial spy. Together with several other applicants, he was given a sealed envelope and told to take it to the fourth floor.

As soon as the man was alone, he stepped into an empty hallway and opened the envelope. Inside, a message read: "You're our kind of person. Report to the fifth floor Personnel Office."

______________________________________...

9)An applicant was being interviewed for admission to a prominent medical school. "Tell me," inquired the interviewer, "where do you expect to be ten years from now?"

"Well, let's see," replied the student. "It's Wednesday afternoon. I guess I'll be on the golf course by now."

______________________________________...

10)The navy psychiatrist was interviewing a potential sailor. To check on the young man's response to trouble, the psychiatrist asked, "What would you do if you looked out of that window right now and saw a battleship coming down the street?"

The baby sailor said, "I'd grab a torpedo and sink it."

Is it too early to ask for a raise? Question for Dr's and assistants.?

2009-11-14T19:08:00.002-08:00

I am a dental assistant in NJ. I am school trained and have 6 yrs. office experience. I also have an x-ray license. The girls I work w/ are trained in the office and have no previous experience.

I just moved and had to take a major pay cut due to the area I live and work in. I was making $17 /hr. and now make $14/hr. I preform the same tasks as I did in my old office. Such as assisting, but also order supplies for 2 offices.

I have been at this office for only one month, but I really think I deserve a $2 increase. I do alot more than anyone else in the office.

Is it too early to ask for a raise? How should I go about asking w/out jeopardizing my job?

Is it too early to ask for a raise? Question for Dr's and assistants.?
Hi Nicole,

First, do a a zip code search at http://www.careerbuilders.com or http://www.monster.com or http://www.payscale.com to see how it should be. DO NOT FORGET to adjust for a 40 hour week if the figures are based on a weekly pay. I'm in SNJ myself and I can tell you that there is a great deal of difference in NNJ and SNJ cost of living and, therefore, fees and salaries.

When I hire, I hire on a probabtionary basis - as do most - and when I decide to keep you, I would give you a raise. If you came in with an x-ray license and CDA and/or experience, I would probably start you a lot higher than a "trainee," so the first raise might only be a dollar an hour. My most recent hire has CDA, x-ray and 15 years experience, so I started her at $15 and went from there.

The probabtionary period in my office is 90 days, as I think it is in most. I see one answerer above me said it is 120 days in her office, though. I think 2 months is too early to ask for a raise, but it is time to start planning so you can get your nerve up. It sounds like you have assumed a lot of responsibility in this office and probably do deserve close to your previous wage. If you have nerve, I'd suggest that you ask for a specific amount and let your doctor react. If you said that you have been trying to make it on $14 an hour, but you were used to getting $17 and are now finding things difficult. You have done the math and feel that you need $16 to continue in your job. You will NOT get fired, but you have to be prepared for a "no" answer, so you might want to tone your request down a bit. YOU know your boss better than I do.

Anyhow, if you do not have a raise after 90 days, I'd consider asking for one. Chances are your boss is looking towards January 1 as time for a raise anyhow.

Good luck.

Reply:I think if you honestly believe you deserve a raise then ask for one. It should not be that hard to find another job if he doesn't comply. But...On the other hand he might just comply long enough to find/hire someone else at a cheaper rate. Then again he might just give it to you. If you are doing all of these things then you should be paid accordingly. This is why I went to Dental Hygiene school I got sooooo tired of dealing with cheap dentist!! They want you to do all the work while they "relax!!!" Good Luck
Reply:it is pretty standard to have 120 days try out period in the dental offices. If you do not get a raise in two months, ask for one, unless it was discussed at the time of hire
Reply:I think your Dr will say it's too early, they usually consider at 90 days. That way they have seen your work, ability, responsibility, and what you can do better that the other co-workers. You do deserve a raise but he might think this way.
Reply:I also agree to wait 90 days. BUT here's one thing that's real important. Do NOT tell anyone in your office what you make. This could cause hurt feelings. Also have a list of what you can do that the others cannot do who are not trained. I was a dental assistant and I can not believe a Dr can hire someone off the street! They have no idea about sterilization! ICK!!! So your Dr just may be a cheap skate and not care.

Good luck.
Reply:I think it's too early. You have to think from your employer's point of view. You know you're a dedicated, honest, reliable employee, but is one month enough time for them to know that?

In my office, raises were given out every 6 months. Does your office have any schedules for raises/evaluations like that? Maybe you should ask another employee.

I would not, however, mention to your boss that you "Do a lot more than anyone else in the office." I'm sure he wants a no drama team player. And I'm sure he'll realize this on his own in due time. Just keep up the good work, and it will be rewarded!

The change in pay may be because assistants simply do not earn as much money in your new area. Pay scales change greatly in very short distances.

Whatever you do, I hope it works out well for you and someday soon you get paid at least close to what you deserve! Good luck!

Would you of had kids if this is how it was presented to you?

Do you plan on having kids?
If you are considering having children than learn from this..

1. Child Prep#1- Dressing small children is not as easy as it seems: Buy an octopus and a string bag. Attempt to put the octopus into the string bag so that none of the tentacles hang out. Time allowed for this: all morning.

2.Child Prep #2- Get completely ready to go out. Then, wait outside the bathroom for half an hour. Go out the front door. Come in again. Go out. Come back in. Go out again. Walk down the front path. Walk back up it. Walk down it again. Walk very slowly down the road for 5 minutes. Stop to minutely inspect every cigarette butt, piece of used chewing gum, dirty tissue and dead insect along the way. Retrace your steps. Scream that you've had as much as you can stand, until the neighbors come out and stare at you. Give up and go back into the house. You are now just about ready to take a small child for a walk.

3.Child Prep #3- Women: To prepare for maternity, put on a dressing gown and stick a beanbag down the front. Leave it there for 9 months. After 9 months, take out 10% of the beans. Men: To prepare for paternity, go to the local Pharmasist, tip the contents of your wallet on the counter, and tell the pharmacists to help themselves. Then go to the supermarket. Arrange to have your salary paid directly to their head office.

4.Child Prep #4- Always repeat everything you say at least five times.

5.Child Prep #5- Find a couple who are already parents. Observe them for one evening. Then comment on their methods of discipline, lack of patience, appallingly low tolerance levels, and how they have allowed their children to run riot. Suggest ways in which they might improve their child's sleeping habits, toilet training, table manners and overall behavior. Enjoy it, this will be the last time in your life that you have any clue about child rearing.

6.Child Prep #6- Forget the BMW and buy a SUV. Don't think you can leave it out in the driveway spotless and shining. Family cars don't look like that. Buy a chocolate ice and put it in the glove compartment. Leave it there. Get a grease gun. Shoot some in the cassette player. Take three peeled bananas. Mash them down the back seats. Run a garden rake along both sides of the car. There. Perfect.

7.Child Prep #7- Can you stand the mess children make? To find out, first smear marmalade onto the sofa and jam onto the curtains. Hide a fish finger behind the stereo and leave it there all summer. Stick your fingers in the flower beds then rub them on the clean walls. Cover the stains with crayons. Ask yourself, how does that look?

8.Child Prep #8- Hollow out a melon. Make a small hole in the side. Suspend it from the ceiling and swing it from side to side. Now get a bowl of soggy corn flakes and attempt to spoon it into the swaying melon by pretending to be an airplane. Continue until half the corn flakes are gone. Tip the rest into your lap, making sure that a lot of it falls on the floor. You are now ready to feed a 12 month old baby.

9.Child Prep #9- To discover how the nights will feel, walk around the living room from 5pm to 10pm carrying a bag of water weighing approximately 12 lb. At 10pm put the bag down, set the alarm for midnight, and go to sleep. Get up at 12 and walk around the living room again, with the bag, till 1am. Put the alarm on for 3am. As you can't get back to sleep get up at 2am and make a drink. Go to bed at 2.45am. Get up again at 3am when the alarm goes off. Sing songs in the dark until 4am. Put the alarm on for 5am. Get up. Make breakfast. Keep this up for 5 years. Look cheerful.

10.Child Prep 10- Sample the Destructive Powers of Childhood. Borrow a dozen baseballs from your little league coach friend. Put on any type of helmet. In the room with the most windows, turn the ceiling fan on high. If you don't have a lot of windows a glass front hutch holding fine china will work nicely. While protecting yourself as best you can (you will get better at this after your children become teenagers) throw each baseball at the spinning fan.

Do you need more???
Reply:Eventually, I would like to, but the rate things in my life, the way they are going, probably not.

I'm 29, single, and want to 1, get out of college before I think of marriage, and 2, I would have to be married first.

With me having to wait until August to go back to college, and I lack about 2 years, I woudl have to say, most likely I will not have any kids of my own, but adoption is on my mind.

Though being a parent is one of the most difficult jobs in the world, has the largest responsibility, it also has the greatest reward if you succeed.
Reply:I would have to be married first.

thanks for sharing
Reply:Yes!

And if people were a bit more optimistic they would see the positive aspects too.

Besides, most people want to give all they have to their childern, it is not a burden.

I think it is so sad that people to do not have children and have no continuation.

And it is important to realize that everything in life that is meaningful and rewarding requires much effort..

~~Good for you, I am impressed Jdriven!

~~EU Citizen, you must be part of a very 'compassionate' people...
Reply:this is great! i have a 7 and half month old and i just went back to night school. my husband called me while i was in school ad said that he had no idea how i do it all the time. but i love it, and wouldnt change it for the world!
Reply:Well, tough one.

All the answers that you've got, naturally, were from people who hasn't yet have children (due to the nature of your question).

But still... I have children. 3 of them, I might add. And as much as I love them unconditionally, I sometimes wonder if I'd do it all over. I'm not sure regarding the answer.

Its all good and well to say that children are miracles and they give you joy... but the truth is that they also drain you totally.

So, the answer is - some days and some days...
Reply:yes i have a plan in having kids even i don't have kids i am still happy because something should happen when i already have kids i will play with them and i will also take care of them and show lovefor them
Reply:lol you are scaring me a little bit

Dead beat dads?

2009-11-14T19:07:00.003-08:00

Ok, You all have missed the point. However I don't think the children should have to suffer either. But there are other ways to support the children than give her the money. Such as: making it a law for the innocent parent to provide full coverage insurance for the children as far as dental and medical. And if the parent has any sense they should be buying their children school school clothes, supplies and the extras that child needs. As for all your ugly comments I didn't steal anyones husband. I am a child of a dead beat father who I didn't see or know. But rather than my mother get money to help support her other husband and family, cause theres no guarantee I would of got a penny of it, as so many other children will agree paying the phone bill didn't buy me a pair of shoes.......oh but that was to help pay for your support.... Ok .. I just think things need to be done differently. How many children out there actually even see or even know about the child support? I didn't.

Dead beat dads?
Parents shouldn't discuss their specific finances with their children. Nor should one parent ever put down the other to the child. No matter what either parent did that may have ended the relationship, children should not be told the circumstances--they're CHILDREN! And parents shouldn't play games like "well, I might have had enough money to get you _______ if your no good mom/dad would have paid child support this month."

And yes, there are parents who misappropriate child support money. But the money should not be given directly to the child. That money also goes to pay the mortgage for the house the child lives in, the car the child is driven around in, the sports the child plays, the clothes the child wears. To give it to the child would also be a misappropriation.

Do you think married parents that both work would tell their kids "mommy's pay check bought your clothes, but daddy's paycheck bought your food?" No, and it should be the same with any money gathered through child support.

My parents had 50/50 custody of the kids after their divorce. We lived one month with dad, then one month with mom. My dad still had to pay child support to my mom to help even out their incomes. When we were with my dad, if we asked for anything like new shoes or new clothes we had to hear: "that's what I pay child support for, have your mom get you that stuff." My mom never said an unkind word about my dad. And guess what? 20 years later all 3 of us kids think my mom did a far better job at parenting than my dad, even though he wasn't a "dead beat" per se because he always paid his support on time.

Children should neither "know about" nor "see" the support, that's for the adults to worry about.
Reply:i tell my son that his dad does not pay his child support, that is why i can't give him everything he needs. granted i do give him all that i can. sooner or later he'll figure it out on his own what a deadbeat his father is.
Reply:do you mean your father paid regularly for your up keep - or he didn't that means you mother was a terrible mother for not letting you know or miss spending you money. or have i got it wrong.
Reply:I don't get what you are asking?
Reply:It simply highlights that no system is perfect. What you're asking for is a directed system, where they are required to supply identified objects and benefits. An interesting idea, but one that is even harder to police than the current system. I think you'd end up with even less money going to the children because they don't want to go shopping for shoes, and don't want to go through the trouble of setting up insurance coverage. As it is a judge can order the money directly withdrawn from the paycheque of the father(at least in the court system where I'm from). I don't think that the system you're asking for would be practical without a large supervising body that would drain even more money away. It's tough, but I don't think there is a clear solution.
Reply:nope your right, paying the phone bill didnt buy you a pair of shoes, but i bet you used the phone :) and i bet you had shoes, doesnt matter where the money comes form you were supported, Your father ran off, and you were HIS responsibility he decided not to step up to the plate, your mother on the other hand stepped up and raised you. Who cares if she pockets the money, at least she provided you with food, heat, a bed, clothes, shoes, and even some of the things you wanted and didnt need. Its just the way it is. Kids cost alot more than you obviously know!!! I get 600$ a month for one child, and you know what, that still doesnt cover the expenses of what it costs to raise a 7 year old child. If he wants to be in activities through school, i pay for those, if he has a medical problem, i pay for those, his food costs between 200-300 a month right there, that doesnt include the expenses of taking him to school everyday, picking him up from school, money for this and that at school, Clothes that he outgrows each month, shoes, snow gear. Your not thinking clear enough to see the bigger picture
Reply:Child support is not designed to be money handed to the child to go spend as they want to. It is designed and intended so that you have a roof over your head and food on your table. Whether or not you got a new expensive pair of shoes doesn't matter, and as for you previous question, it really doesn't matter who cheated or why the marriage broke up. It matters who has custody of the children.

I will bet that the whole time you were growing up you had a roof, and clothes, and food to eat, and I willing to be that you probably got a lot stuff that you didn't need but that you wanted. Its not the system's fault that your father couldn't accept his responsibility as a parent and walked away.

When my parents divorced (due to my dad cheating) he was ordered to pay child support and keep medical insurance on both me and my brother. Guess what it never happened. My mom paid for every bit of it, housing and food, clothes, school activities, medical bills.
Reply:I'm not sure what you are asking but......I'm married to a man with 4 kids and we have custody of them all. Their mom is court ordered to pay child support but she pays only when threatened of going to court. Were lawyers free and this a perfect world, she would be in jail now for not paying, trying to sabotage the relationship I have with her kids, and basically not being a mother to them. Being a step-parent is hard, very hard...we also have a child together and I have one from a previous marriage. Anyway, I guess my point is......not all dead-beat parents are dads. Sometimes the best parent IS the dad.

Hill Burton Hotline

1-800-638-0742

(1-800-492-0359 in Maryland)

In 1946, Congress passed a law that gave hospitals, nursing homes and other health facilities grants and loans for construction and modernization. In return, they agreed to provide a reasonable volume of services to persons unable to pay and to make their services available to all persons residing in the facility’s area. The program stopped providing funds in 1997, but about 300 health care facilities nationwide are still obligated to provide free or reduced-cost care.

Steps to Apply for Hill-Burton Free or reduced-cost Care

1.Find the Hill-Burton obligated facility nearest you from the list of Hill-Burton obligated facilities.

2.Go to the facility's admissions or business office and ask for a copy of the Hill-Burton Individual Notice. The Individual Notice will tell you what income level makes you eligible for free or reduced-cost care, what services might be covered, and exactly where in the facility to apply.

3.Go to the office listed in the Individual Notice and say you want to apply for Hill-Burton free or reduced-cost care. You may need to fill out a form.

4.Gather any other required documents (such as a pay stub to prove income eligibility) and take or send them to the obligated facility.

5.If you are asked to apply for Medicaid, Medicare, or some other financial assistance program, you must do so.

6.When you return the completed application, ask for a Determination of Eligibility. Check the Individual Notice to see how much time the facility has before it must tell you whether or not you will receive free or reduced-cost care.

More about Hill-Burton Free or Reduced-Cost Care

You are eligible to apply for Hill-Burton free care if your income is at or below the current HHS Poverty Guidelines. You may be eligible for Hill-Burton reduced-cost care if your income is as much as two times (triple for nursing home care) the HHS Poverty Guidelines.

Care at a Hill-Burton obligated facility is not automatically free or reduced-cost. You must apply at the admissions or business office at the obligated facility and be found eligible to receive free or reduced-cost care. You may apply before or after you receive care -- you may even apply after a bill has been sent to a collection agency.

Some Hill-Burton facilities may use different eligibility standards and procedures.

Hill-Burton facilities must post a sign in their admissions and business offices and emergency room that says: NOTICE - Medical Care for Those Who Cannot Afford to Pay, and they must provide you with a written Individual Notice that lists the types of services eligible for Hill-Burton free or reduced-cost care, what income level qualifies for free or reduced-cost care and how long the facility may take in determining an applicant's eligibility.

Only facility costs are covered, not your private doctors' bills. Facilities may require you to provide documentation that verifies your eligibility, such as proof of income.

Hill-Burton facilities must provide a specific amount of free or reduced cost care each year, but can stop once they have given that amount. Obligated facilities publish an Allocation Plan in the local newspaper each year. The Allocation Plan includes the income criteria and the types of services it intends to provide at no cost or below cost. It also specifies the amount of free or reduced cost services it will provide for the year.

When you apply for Hill-Burton care, the obligated facility must provide you with a written statement that tells you what free or reduced-cost care services you will get or why you have been denied.

The facility may deny your request if

·Your income is more than the income specified in the Allocation Plan.

·The facility has given out its required amount of free care as specified in its Allocation Plan.

·The services you requested or received are not covered in the facility's Allocation Plan.

·The services you requested or received are to be paid by a governmental program such as Medicare/Medicaid or insurance.

·The facility asked you to apply for Medicare/Medicaid or other governmental program, and you did not.

·You did not give the facility proof of your income, such as a pay stub.

You may file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services if you believe you have been unfairly denied Hill-Burton free or reduced-cost care. Your complaint must be in writing and can be a letter that simply states the facts and dates concerning the complaint. You may call your local legal aid services for help in filing a complaint.

My ex wife has been living with her new boyfriend and they are engaged for almost two years. They have not gotten married nor does it seem like they are going to. My child support was built around her being a single mother of two - on her salary (schoolteacher) - paying all her own expenses. She actually brought me to court almost two years ago to get an increase - which she did.

Now she is living with him (he is a doctor) - still making her salary - has less expenses (no car payment) and my support is till at the higher rate.

Do I have any options??

Note: She moved away from me 3 years ago (out of state) and I had to sell our house and move also so I could be near my kids (big expense for me and higher cost of living adjustment). In addition to my support - I pay for their Health and Dental Ins. AND she still asks me to pay for other items such as back to school clothes, supplies, etc.

Help me please. I cannot put any money away for my Kid's future.

First of all, if you are paying child support you are not responsible for paying for extras...that's what HER money is for. Child support is for things your kids need, roof over their head, food, clothes..not extras that they can live without. As to the part about her living with someone else, they may be living together, he may be supporting her, but until they are married his (the boyfriend) income is not considered in your child support figures. When my ex husband and I were going through our divorce, he tried to say that because I had a boyfriend that my boyfriends income should be added in with mine to figure how much child support he pays. In my situation I was responsible for all my own bills, my boyfriend did not pay my bills, nor did the room mate I shared my apartment with. When we went to court, my ex husband told the judge that I had a boyfriend, told him that my boyfriend lived with me, I stated that was true. However, until they (your ex and the boyfriend) are married, the boyfriend's income does not count towards what you do or don't pay. Once they are married however, then his income will get figured in with hers. I know that's probably not what you wanted to hear, but in my situation that was how the cards fell. Now, every state is different, and every judge is different. If you are concerned, contact a lawyer and see what your rights are in this situation. The thing I'm curious about though, is if you are paying your child support to take care of your children, why are you concerned with how much you are paying? Are your children worth less to you just because their mother might be making more now than she was before? These are your children, and no amount of money, and paying less money will not change that. It is your obligation to help take care of them, regardless of what the mother is doing.
Reply:REFUSE TO PAY FOR EXTRA'S!!! This is what your child support is for and if she is so well off then she shouldnt be asking for it anyways. Id see a lawyer asap!
Reply:Discuss it with your lawyer. You have responsibilities as does she. You have your rights too and a lot going in your favour.
Reply:Get a decent lawyer, although that may be hard to find.I think the best option is to go back to court and explain the situation fully. If you take a lawyer who knows his stuff you may get a reduction in payments becase of the circumstances you outlined.

Good luck
Reply:it might help to know where u are from. u do not have to pay for the extra expenses that is in with the child support. also the insurance u would ahve to pay. when they get married is when ur increase should lower.

Check this source out it is a calculator for all states It helps u define what u should really be paying. THis women is cleaning the streets with u

Reply:That's selfish she's bitter and greedy, you should only be giving her $300 per child and that's it and if you buy something you should deduct it from that money, you shouldn't have to pay for her and them that's highway robbery. My ex husband gives me $500 a month, pays his insurance and does some shopping for our son but I don't ask for any extras he has to live too.
Reply:uh...only pay what the court has ordered you to pay. plain and simple. and even if she married Bill Gates or Donald Trump what her new husband makes is of no concern of yours or the courts.

you can ask for a re-evaluation for support. that never hurts. she would have to prove she is paying for all of her expenses such as car payments and such. if you have more expenses redo the Income and Expense form. as much as it sucks, any savings accounts or college funds for the kids is still kind of listed as disposable income for the children. technically, it's her responsibilty to save some of the child support money for their college if she so chooses.
Reply:I think that the medical and health care benefits should compensate some of these expenses off your payment. In CA they do include your health care for your children. There is a reason for her not being married yet and that is why. When she does in fact get married you should know your alimony stops. Your child support does not however. You should re-open and re-modify the payments. Keep in mind that the judge will over see the fact that she has a well off fiance. The only thing the court really wants to see in order to favor your stipulation is your consistency, and the actual necessities involved. Meaning, you can request receipts for all she claims to purchase for the children. If that does not add up to what your paying in payments or near enough to justify your contributing a substantial amount of money the judge may just favor you. Save all of your receipts and any extra itinerary add them up, get an attorney and request that you have a fixed budget strictly for your children so she can't use or see a penny of that ... Good luck
Reply:Find out what the common law marriage laws are in your state and her state and talk to an attorney. Also know your divorce laws. Many states now this available online. You may be able to get a reduction, but maybe not. Depends on the laws in your state and maybe even hers. Every state is different. You may get some answers from www.findlaw.com
Reply:maybe its different in different states, but this is what i've found true in oklahoma.....

child support is based only on the father and mothers personal income. any income from other relationships cant be included in determining child support.

i have done some research on parents taking their kids and moving. a parent has to have permission from the other parent to take a child out of the state they live in, especially if you have court orders that specify when you have visitation, etc. this applies to any state. she cannot take your kids and move wherever she wants. that obstructs your visitation and could get her in big trouble. you can google 'custodial interference' and find a lot of information that may be useful. could even be considered a misdemeanor or a felony.

also, in oklahoma, you would have to give her permission to have that guy around your kids. i believe the time cut off is 10pm. they cant be in the house past that time without your permission, let alone live with your kids without your permission and without being married to your ex-wife.

you paying for their insurance is not unusual. here, that is normal.

as for the school supplies and extra costs, that is what your child support is for. she cant demand more money from you without going to court and having the courts order you to do so.

for now, stop doing everything she tells you to do. she cannot legally demand anything without going back to court and getting official court orders.
Reply:That's a good question, Scott. Don't hesitate in contacting a lawyer. A lot of them give free initial consultations so you can at least see if there is anything you can do without having to pay them. Good luck. When you call just ask them if the first appointment/interview is free of charge.

Anyone who produces kids like crazy but can't take care of them should be forcibly sterilized?

Anyone who produces kids like crazy but can't take care of them should be forcibly sterilized?

2009-11-14T19:05:00.002-08:00

I'm sorry but I'm going on a rant today. People who make babies like rabbits but then don't take care of them financially make me sick.

Ex, polygamous men who in the name of their religion make 30 kids with 4 women and yet all his wives are on welfare. Single moms barely making it with 6 kids getting pregnant again while on welfare. Men who have 5 different baby mamas yet don't pay a dime or see their kids. Poor working couples who choose to have 8 kids while living in a 1bdrm apartment. People who choose to start a second family when they know they can't even afford to pay for their kids from the first marriage.

Everyone knows that sexual, emotional, and physical abuse is a evil crime but for some reason financial abuse is given a free slid. Not being able to provide for your kids with good dental, medical, healthy fresh groceries, heat, hydro, school items, clothes, personal items, shelter, furniture, toys, enough living space, health supplies etc is ABUSE.

Anyone who produces kids like crazy but can't take care of them should be forcibly sterilized?
It's a losing battle......too bad birth control is not mandatory.
Reply:yah I know I hate ppl who do that to those children

just can leave them and thats it

I understand adoption but just leaving ur kid with one parent to take care of them all by themselves is wrong

ppl who do that lots yah maybe they should be sterillized but we both know there are gonna be ppl on here whining" oh thats against our rights blah blah blah" but what about those kids rights

as long as ppl still have there right to do whatever they want than the innocent kids who are left in dust dont seem to matter

the world sucks in a lot of ways but the best we can do is take care of our responsiblitys
Reply:WOW!!! Who pissed in your cheerios this morning????
Reply:SNIP !!!, SNIP!!!
Reply:I was going to go into a rant here about people who judge before they know about situations.... but I decided that you are a waste of breath and time. I'll just say that MOST people who have children DO see to it that their children get what they need. Financial abuse? So like if you are in a good place in life finacially and all of a sudden your finacial situation changes for the worse Child Services should come in and take your children? Get a life.
Reply:I agree...I think its horrible that people bring kids into the world just to stay on welfare..or knowing they will not be taken care of and loved..and there are people in the world that would give anything in the world to have a baby to rock to sleep at night and that would give them a good home..but are unable to have kids..It is a shame..and like you said..very often overlooked.... Very heartbreaking.. I read a statistic that in 2002-2003 there were over 530,000 kids in foster care in the US...thats unreal...
Reply:I agree 100%. There are a couple states in the U.S. (not enough though) that limit welfare benefits. That is...if you have two kids and apply for welfare, you'll get it, but if you have any kids AFTER filing for the initial benefits, those kids won't be covered.
Reply:AMEN I agree with you 150%. Its to bad this country isn't like other countries. I feel if you can't afford kids after 1, 2,3 at the most it should be mandatory tubal before leaving the hospital. (3 is pushing it to!)
Reply:hey its not just the people that cant do it finacially the thing that is just about as equal in abuse is the people who have money and spoil their kids so rotten they expect to have everything handed to them like the little girl that gets bmw for her 16th birthday and starts screaming you got me the wrong ******** color i wanted red and then totals it 3 weeks later trying to find her phone or putting on lipstick thats abuse too people being spoiled rotten is abuse too and im not saying there is anything wrong with having money but you gotta work for what you get dont just han dsh!t to them like its going out of style those parents buy their kids so i ask whats worse buying your kids or not having money but loving them and if the cost of everything but the paycheck keeps going up who wont be 'poor' when they get min wage 5.15 an hr and need groceries for two days that equal a whole check or electicity that costs them a check and a half when they already work two jobs?????i understand the rant but theres the reverse rant and the question is why does the government raise all costs except pay thats why we have people that cant afford things other than love we dont all get paid 10 mil for a movie or to sign a 5 yr contract to coach football right i mean high school coaches dont get paid that why should a college or nfl coach if we could all play sports or act or sing then no one would be poor but you dont see the rich giving out a couple grand to each working class surving paycheck to paycheck person do you no they would rather advertise for donate to the africa aids foundation i do so wont you help and im not saying i dont care about world issues like that but come on it is just as bad over here with somethings so i will get off my soap box just giving another thought to your rant
Reply:Unfortunately not every one looks at it like your or I do and sees it that way. It is a total shame to bring so many children into the world when you are unable to provide for them, and the children suffer because of it.

I doubt that the people in this world will ever change. That they will suddenly say to them selves, gee honey I think we should stop at one child since were only just scrapping by as it is.

That would require them to use birth control, some people just don't believe in doing that. I saw a family on TV that had like 17 children and they were all their own children. They plan on having as many children as they can, so that mean more children are going to come for them.

I'm sorry but, Are you kidding me? Is she waiting for her uterus to fall out or what? I know that they are taking care of their own children but, are each of these children getting the individual attention that each child should get? I really doubt that very much.

These children are good kids don't get me wrong, but the parents had to have a bigger house and they had their own children helping to build the house that they fianally moved into. What kind of a childhood is that? They are home schooled and they do not get together with other children in their community. I wonder how these children will survive in a world where they don't even know any thing about it, it's like they are living in a bubble. Pretty scary to say the least!!
Reply:you do make a good point for the 5 baby-dady situation,but you are placing too much on the money. Money happens, some have it, some don't. If everybody in your family line always waited to have cash, you wouldn't be here. That can be said for everybody on the planet. Life should be the focus. presence in the child's life is far more important. I have 3 children, they all live with me and my wife. Everything I have is thiers. we are covered by my employer's insurance, they have food, and clothing(mostly donated clothing), and the bills are just barly paid. And I have no money for anything else.I have no fancy stuff, Just what i need to work. anybody can do what I do, but most just don't want to sacrifice like this. That is the real problem, parential selfishness, not a lack of cash. I have no money, and my children are taken care of.
Reply:I compleatly agree with you. If you are not financially stable or have a stable relationship, you should not be having children.

Will the liberal media report this success in Iraq?

2009-11-14T19:05:00.000-08:00

The struggle to form a unity government in Iraq continues, but signs of hope are emerging. One of the sticking points continues to be Prime Minister Ibrahim Jaafari, who has so far refused to resign; however, on Sunday the Iraqi Shia Alliance reported it was close to a deal to replace him.

For a little perspective, travel back to the States, to the U.S. Senate and watch the immigration debate in the Senate. We've been doing democracy for several centuries now, and we can't get 100 politicians to agree on one issue. Considering we're the pros, we could cut the Iraqis a little slack as they continue to get the feel of this democracy-project thing.

There continues to be plenty of good news to be found in Iraq. The Iraqi army continues to take over responsibility for more battle space, al Qaeda continues to take a beating, and rebuilding of the country is progressing. Moreover, the Iraqi economy is improving, and has doubled in the last three years.

News for Pessimistic Generals

The media has given an enormous amount of publicity to former generals who are calling for Rumsfeld to resign, and all but ignore those who remain optimistic about our efforts in Iraq. Colonel William Grimsley commanded the brigade that first took control of Baghdad Airport. Three years on he remains optimistic about the country's future:

Grimsley, commander of the 3rd Infantry Division's 1st Combat Brigade Team during the opening days of Operation Iraqi Freedom, said history — not current events — will tell the true story of Iraq's metamorphosis.

And that story will show how Iraq ultimately emerged from almost 40 years of a regime that ignored the people's needs and undermined its potential, Grimsley, now a military assistant to Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, said during an interview with American Forces Press Service and the Pentagon Channel.

Major Kevin Carter just returned from Iraq, and shares this assessment:

Charter believes not enough attention is being paid to the progress being made by Iraqis in taking control of their country. He said the people of Iraq are grateful Saddam Hussein has been overthrown.

"I was told by an Iraqi that only two things could get rid of Saddam, the United States or Allah. I will never forget that," Charter said. "An Iraqi officer told me that if we just up and left the country would implode. They are so grateful for us being there and toppling Saddam. Even the Sunnis, who benefited under Saddam, thanked us."

Before you think I'm just parroting the Pentagon line by quoting only officers, a Marine serving with an Iraqi unit had this to say:

"Everybody hears about all the car bombs in Baghdad and how many people got shot. Those things are reality — I don't want to downplay them. But there's a lot of good things happening," he said.

Despite being the main targets of terrorists and ex-Baathists, Iraqi soldiers remain well motivated:

According to the commanding officer of the local Iraqi-army unit here, the soldiers' motivation to fight insurgents is steady despite the loss of two of their own comrades. During a memorial service for a fallen soldier, the Iraqi commander of 2nd Battalion, 2nd Brigade, 7th Iraqi Army Division, assured his soldiers they were performing well and encouraged them to continue to listen and learn from the Marines.

"I want the soldiers to continue to do the job they are doing," said the commanding officer, who wishes to remain anonymous. "We need the Marines' support and they are very professional when it comes to training my soldiers."

A tip led U.S. troops to a house where forged documents were made:

The two suspected forgers were found at a house where Soldiers seized $2,050 in U.S. currency, more than 500,000 Iraqi Dinars, 125 various forms of identification, fake stamps for the IDs and an AK-47.

Another tip led U.S. troops to a weapons cache at a terrorist training facility:

Found at the site were 19 155 mm artillery rounds and 21 mortar rounds of various calibers.

The site may have been a training site of insurgents. The cache was transported to a secured location for controlled detonation.

320 Iraqis from Anbar Province arrived in Jordan to received training as police officers.

The Iraqi army continues to take over more battle space:

The 3rd Battalion, 1st Brigade, 4th Iraqi Army Division is assuming control of an area of responsibility that encompasses Balad, Al Duluyah and Yethrib, as well as the smaller villages surrounding these cities.

In addition to taking over battle space, Iraqis continue to take the lead in more security operations. Operation Cobra Strike was lead by soldiers of the 8th Iraqi Army Division. The operation was planned, and conducted by Iraqis, with U.S. soldiers in support.

Iraqi soldiers discovered four weapons caches during an operation in southern Baghdad:

In total, the four weapons caches consisted of seven RPG rounds, three machine guns, 28 70 mm mortar rounds, 38 60mm mortar rounds, landmines, a large bag of homemade explosives, a sniper rifle, grenades, 13 pre-made roadside-bombs, ten rockets, 403 linked rounds of small arms ammunition, three bags of linked ammunition and 5,000 rounds of sniper-rifle rounds.

139 Iraqi soldiers recently graduated from commando school, and are ready to fight:

"The Iraqi people are tired of the terrorists, extremists and instability and this unit fights that ... I am very proud that I am part of this special unit that will help stabilize this country," he said. "The terrorists have had their time. This is our time now."

39 of 45 planned border forts along the Iran-Iraq border are complete. The border posts are manned by Iraqis.

U.S. troops discovered several significant weapons caches on an island in the Euphrates River:

On April 5, Soldiers from 1st Battalion, 67th Armor Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, discovered 34 fused 82 mm rounds, five fused 120 mm rounds, 600 82 mm mortar rounds, 23 fused rocket-propelled grenades, five hand grenades, 28 55-gallon drums of TNT, nine 55-gallon sacks of nitrate, two bundles of detonation chord, a penetrator and 5,000 AK-47 rounds.

The next day, Soldiers gathered 1,500 meters of command wire, a mortar sight, a receiver, 54 82mm rounds and a 107mm rocket.

On April 7, MND-B Soldiers discovered the following items on the island: 1,450 18 mm anti-aircraft rounds, 27 125 mm aerial bombs, 30 anti-tank grenades, seven 60 mm mortars, five 82 mm mortars, 25 RPG rounds, 96 sticks of dynamite, 600 mortar primers, 156 hand grenades, three cylindrical containers, a RPG launcher, a rocket (caliber unknown), 37 boosters and a small mortar.

In Mosul, U.S. soldiers discovered a significant amount of materials used to make IEDs.

In Tikrit, a terrorist planting an IED was captured.

In Yusifiyah, several terrorist were killed or captured after their safe house was attacked:

During the assault, five terrorists, three of them wearing suicide vests, were killed; five others, one of whom was wounded, were detained. Two of the suicide bombers were killed before either could detonate his vest, and the third detonated his body bomb killing only himself and injuring no one else.

I mentioned Operation Cowpens last week. The operation ended Friday, and the tally of captured munitions is impressive

US forces killed five suspected insurgents and detained five others in a raid on a house southwest of Baghdad early Sunday in a hunt for an alleged Al Qaeda operative, the US military reported, according to AFP.

In another raid, a senior al Qaeda operative was killed. Abu Umar was the terror groups "ambassador," and was charged with forming relationships with other groups in Iraq. Umar was an associate of Osama bin Laden. More than 115 top al Qaeda operatives have been killed or captured in Iraq over the last few months.

Al Qaeda in Iraq continues to use unwilling people to carry out attacks. One attacker was identified by the fingerprints found on his hand, which was hand cuffed to the steering wheel of a car used as a bomb. It was the only part of him found.

U.S. military vehicles in Iraq will be getting a new anti-RPG system called Trophy from the Israelis [This item has been corrected since posting. — Ed.]:

The Trophy, unveiled by the IDF a year ago, combines two main systems: a radar built by Israel Aircraft Industries Ltd., detects threats; and a Rafael-designed system destroys incoming threats in flight. Rafael claims that the Trophy can protect armored fighting vehicles against all types of anti-tank rockets and missiles.

The two conceptual innovations incorporated into the Trophy are 360-degree protection of the tank or APC, which eliminates the need for adding armor plating, which can double a tank’s weight, restricting its mobility and maneuverability; and to provide protection from new threats from the side and top in low-intensity combat, compared with frontal threats of the past.

The State Department issued a report on Iraq's economy. Iraq's economy as nearly doubled in the last three years. GDP rose by 2.6% last year, and is expected to rise by more than ten percent in 2006.

A carpentry workshop funded by USAID is helping Iraqis earn a living:

The workshop focuses on fostering leadership, independence and financial stability among 18- to 24-year-olds. Profits from sale of furniture and doors made in the carpentry shop are reinvested in the youth center to purchase sports equipment, Internet access and secondary school supplies.

Three new power substations are now online in Najaf. At a cost of $4.8 million per substation, each should provide 25,000 households with electricity.

A ceremony in Baghdad marked the opening of a renovated youth center:

The Youth Center offers programs and training in weightlifting, boxing, wrestling, judo and soccer. During the tour, the guests viewed young Iraqi boxers sparring; wrestlers practicing takedowns; soccer players kicking goals; and weightlifters pumping iron.

The project was financed with funds from the 10th Mountain Division.

Everyday Americans are also helping out in Iraq. Frank Casa of Fairport, New York raised $25,000 to send wheel chairs to disabled residents of Hilla:

Casa has raised more than $25,000 to send desperately needed wheelchairs to Hilla, a city south of Baghdad, ravaged by the blasts of suicide attacks and car bombs. Later this year, he'll travel to Iraq to help distribute the wheelchairs.

"There are many, many civilians that are caught in desperate straits, that were caught up in this war, and they're strictly victims," Casa said. "Not to have mobility is like throwing fuel on the fire."

The latest weekly reconstruction update is available here. Highlights include:

* A water system is under construction in Fallujah. When completed it will provide 200,000 residents with clean water.

* A firing range is under construction at the police academy in Hillah.

* Renovations are complete on the police station in Kadhimiya.

* The rehabilitation of a sewer pump station is complete in Mansour.

* In Baghdad, construction is complete on three solid waste transfer stations.

* A project to provide 10,000 residents in Basrah is complete.

* Construction of two power stations in Erbil Province is complete.

* Reconstruction is complete on two fire stations in Karbala.

* 13 of 15 school projects are complete in Karbala.

* Construction of new classrooms is now complete in Mosul.

U.S. and Iraqi troops conducted a dental clinic in Amu Shabi:

A smile can light up one's face... and today, more than 200 Iraqis had a reason to smile.

Iraqi-army troops, along with U.S. Special Forces medics, Civil Affairs and 1st Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division Soldiers, traveled to a school in Amu Shabi, Iraq, to provide a Dental Assessment and Care Clinic for local citizens.

A Scottish company has plans to build the first water park in Iraq. This story is pertinent because of the what the company's sales managers said:

International sales manager Jim Stuart said yesterday: "I am delighted to be involved in this project and it shows that rebuilding in Iraq really is happening."

Sadly, the newly elected Miss Iraq won't be attending the opening.

Norway's DNO will become the first Western company since the invasion to produce oil in Iraq next year. The company has discovered five oil reservoirs in northern Iraq.

Iraqi Air is purchasing two new planes from Airbus.

Iraq is spending $25 million to purchase two new oil tankers.

OUR HEROES

Petty Officer 2nd Class Juan M. Rubio will be awarded the Silver Star later this month for actions in Iraq:

On Jan. 1, 2005, Rubio's platoon was ambushed on the Euphrates River. The Marines left their boats and pursued the attackers, only to have an explosive set off nearby.

Rubio and three Marines were wounded. Despite having shrapnel wounds in his legs and arms, Rubio belly-crawled to the injured Marines and treated their injuries. He then dragged each of them across open terrain, under fire, to safety behind a wall.

He showed the uninjured Marines how to care for the wounded troops and then began directing covering fire while he helped take the wounded back to the boats.

"Your actions saved lives and you have set an example for future corpsmen and Marines to emulate," wrote Maj. Gen. R.F. Natonski, who wrote a letter endorsing the medal. "Your service is coveted by each and every Marine in the 1st Marine Division."

One Marine died that day, Lance Cpl. Brian Parrello. Rubio believes Parrello saved his life.

"He took a big chunk of artillery," Rubio said. "He absorbed 90 percent of the explosion for me. I owe my life to him."

Petty Officer 2nd Class Justin Jewett was awarded the Bronze Star for action in Iraq:

Jewett ran through a hail of gunfire and dragged the injured teammate 20 feet to the protection of a large vehicle, the citation says. He then administered first aid.

Under continuous attack, he supervised the evacuation of his wounded teammate. The Navy said Jewett's "courageous actions" saved his teammate's life.

Lance Corporal Carlos Gomez-Perez was awarded the Silver Star this week for his actions in Fallujah:

In the late morning, the platoon came under fire from machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades coming from three directions, according to a citation signed by Secretary of the Navy Donald Winter.

Gomez-Perez first made sure that several injured comrades received medical attention, then moved another downed Marine out of the line of fire, suffering wounds to his shoulder and face in the process.

"Despite his injuries, he again exposed himself to enemy fire and continued to attack the enemy with grenades and by firing his rifle with his uninjured arm," the citation states. "By his bold leadership, wise judgment and complete dedication to duty, Lance Corporal Gomez-Perez reflected great credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the United States Naval Service."

Would you? I'm serious... I want to know.

Thanks.
Reply:No liberals are pessimists when it comes to Iraq and overly optimistic when it comes to everything else. They cant handle that for good to come alot of bad will come first. PEOPLE ARE GONNA DIE . But guess what more will die if we did nothing and we would be more vulnerable than ever if we pulled out now. Even though thats what they want because their overly sensitive minds cant take it. Alot of good and signs of progress come from Iraq but nobody ever says anything because of the mainly liberal media.
Reply:nice cut and paste

uh... about half of that seems to be uncited rumor...

while the other half is from the army with no attempt to look at the other side of the story...

and I have seen quite a bit of this reported from time to time... to one degree or another... but it seems that much of this happens EVERY DAY... and HAS FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS... if something happens every day...it's not news...

BUT HERE'S THE CATCH... little seems to have changed? the army takes one step forward... and then one step back as the terrorists bomb what they just fixed, import more weapons and insurgents from ungaurded borders and keep on bombing civilians...
Reply:Hopefully some day it will be too noticeable a success for them to ignore. Of course, that fact won't be considered big news.

Are prisoners in America given toothbrushes and shampoo?

2009-11-14T19:04:00.002-08:00

Someone told me that they are not given these supplies but it seems like the country would be spending millions of dollars on dental work for these guys if they weren't given toothbrushes.

Are prisoners in America given toothbrushes and shampoo?
Yes they are given these items, A lot of times depending on what prison they are in the tooth brush may be given and than have to be turned back in as in psychiatric lock ups because tooth brushes can be sharpened into weapons, However most prisons (including ours) use "bob Barker" tooth brushes and they are pretty flexible. Soap and Shampoo is def given because piss poor hygiene would equal very sick prisoners and that would cause more tax money being spent etc. Their is prison commissaries etc where people can buy better items however basic issue items are given, a basic pair of prison duds flip flops toiletries etc. including a plastic mug for water and chow time and a flexible plastic spoon. Hope this helps......Shadow stalker
Reply:Our prisioners are treated like kings.
Reply:yes little ones that are not that good,there made by bob barker.
Reply:Prisoners are given toothbrushes and shampoos because they live like in a hotel taken from taxes being paid by good citizens. It is the irony of life that those who should be punished are living better than some outside the prisons.
Reply:The prisoners are allowed to buy these things with money they earn in their prison job or money that is put in an account before they go in or put in by a family member
Reply:Yes they are given toothbrushes and shampoo!! They can either get it off of commisary, or if they have no money, then they get indigent items that are supplied from the facility they are staying at?
Reply:Yes they do get those neccesities. They are prisoners but are still human. I work in the medical dept. at a prison, and no they are not treated like KINGS ( as on answer states) if anything they don't have enough medical care.
Reply:No they are not, at least not with the growing numbers of private prisons. In such facilities there is a commissary similar to that of military installations where prisoners have to purchase their own clothing (usually denim jeans and blue button down shirts), grooming essentials, tobacco products and junk foods. Money is sent directly from the prisoners' families to the prison commissary where it is added to their "books" or account. For those who do not have money or families to send these items, churches usually donate enough money to their accounts to provide the bare necessities.
Reply:they have to buy it
Reply:Yes they are given tooth brushes, toothpaste, soap and the such. they are even given choice of "non pork" toothpaste ( yes alot of it has pork byproducts)

they get toliet paper.
Reply:Only if they have teeth, and hair.
Reply:Yes you do get toothbrush and shampoo. I can't believe that people thing people in jail/'prison shouldn't get simple stuff like that. Where I was we got a mini toothbrush and shampoo and other bits and pieces. As others have said if you want better stuff you have to buy it from your own money. Don't see why anybody can object to that - in jail remember alot of people haven't even been convicted and are therefore innocent.

Can a 32 year old male with diabetes qualify for medicaid?

2009-11-14T19:04:00.000-08:00

My boyfriend is 32 has diabetes and his medical sucks so he is paying for a majority of his supplies, he pays rent and bills and everything else other people do and cant seem to get decent dental insurance so i thought he might be able to qualify for medicaid as a secondary insurance/ dental. Can someone help me with this? Does anyone know weather or not he can qualify?

Can a 32 year old male with diabetes qualify for medicaid?
As far as I know. Medicaid is solely based on income. If I were you I would google medicaid for your state and see what the income requirements are for a household of 1 since unfortunately they will not consider you a 2 member household....or will they...hmm. If you live together and share the bills I mean. But including your income would probably decrease his chances of qualifying. it doesn't hurt to apply anyhow! Just fill out the paperwork and make an appointment, they'll let you know then if it's a go. HTH! Good luck!
Reply:basic qualifications is you have to be eldery, diabled or suffereing from poverty.

My boyfriend in insulin dependent diabetic. We cant get him ANY insurance. he is full time student, and too old to be on his parents plan... and doesnt qualifiy for any government aid. His medical needs cost over $500 a month! Its insane that we can catch a break at all, we have to wait until he can work a full time job that gives benefits, which where we live is already hard to find. The system sucks.
Reply:If he makes too much money, he will not qualify for medicaid. Although it is not fair, those are the rules. He obviously deserves to have decent medical coverage. It is not his fault his employer does not offer good medical insurance. He is the reason the US needs universal medical coverage. Vote for Hillary. This will help in the long term.

Any EXPATS in BKK willing to show me around????

2009-11-14T19:03:00.002-08:00

GREETINGS FROM TORONTO,

I'm travelling to BKK next month, arriving the morning of NOVEMBER 9TH. I'm just wondering if there might be any EXPATS who would be willing to take me "under their wing" and show me around the city.

I'm coming for some dental work and also to distribute about 20 boxes of toys and school supplies that have been donated to me by Canadian companies. I'm hoping the Canadian Embassy will help me by receiving the shipment and directing me to a worthy school or orphanage.

As far as me and my interests, I'm 43, single, somewhat athletic (not a "jock") and in reasonably good shape. I love ANYTHING to do with the water (sailing, SCUBA, snorkelling, fishing, etc.) and basically just need someone to show me where to go and what to AVOID.

As far as some form of compensation goes, I'd be happy to pick up anything you need from over here and bring it with me or perhaps entertain you if you come to TORONTO.

Hope to hear from you !!!

Any EXPATS in BKK willing to show me around????
You will probably have better luck in finding someone to show you around at http://www.couchsurfing.org/ . This website connects travelers with people all around the world who are willing to put you up in their place for a couple nights and/or meet you in town to show you around and give you the local's perspective .

My dog is due to give birth in the next 24 hours.Can I do or get anything for her to make it better 4 her?

2009-11-14T19:02:00.000-08:00

My dog has all the signs( 98.6 temp ...restlessness ...panting) She is going to have them in 24 hours....This is her 1st litter and her last...i know that she is just a dog but is there anything i can do to make her feel better .....I already have all the supplies like towels, heating pad, themometer, scale , scissors , iodine ,dental floss, bulb and vet on call....any thing i can do 4 her would help!!

My dog is due to give birth in the next 24 hours.Can I do or get anything for her to make it better 4 her?
The most important thing for the dog is to make sure that she has a very quiet place to give birth in, preferably a whelping box. Otherwise, you seem really well prepared. All going well, she probably won't need a lot of assistance, but you have all of the suppies on hand that you should need. Kudohs on having the vet on call.

Don't feel silly for being concerned because "she is just a dog". Pets are important members of the family and I got just as anxious when my hamster gave birth. It's a good thing to be concerned for your pet's well-being.

Good luck!
Reply:It sounds like you have everything covered.
Reply:put her in a room that's not busy, lay down a blanket, maybe give her stuffed animals....try not to put your scent on the blanket to badly....other than that she knows what to do.
Reply:Just make sure you stay near and stay calm. She will sense that you are at ease and it will be better for her. You have all the basics covered,so you should be good. Just remember to watch for warning signs of problems!
Reply:get her a place to stay that's quiet and warm and offer her reassurance by way of strokes. Puppies are coming soon.
Reply:Relax and breath! I know it's difficult to watch the pet you love in pain. Just keep her comfortable. Reassure her that you are near.

She'll be a good mom and know what to do when the time comes.
Reply:You sound like a mature person and are definately prepared for this.

The best thing you can do is keep her company, my female dog is very attached to me, and if you leave a dogs side during labor, she could possibly HALT labor until you come back to her.

Make sure she has an endless supply of water and take her on potty breaks.

Your presence will be soothing enough for her.
Reply:The best you can do is leave her alone.Check on her during the process..quietly and no real touching her or the pups either.Unless she acts like she wants a pat on the head or something.i had a dog that wanted to be loved on while she was giving birth and if i tried to leave the room she would follow me.lol and i can't blame her...poor baby.

But most dogs dont like it.They are in pain,struggling and working hard, giving birth repeatedly.And between giving birth to a puppy,chewing the cord then cleaning it...there just isnt much time between puppy births for her to rest.So she will be tired and,nervous and possibly snappy.

Look at it this way...imagine someone in the room while your in labor or giving birth touching you,situating your pillow...saying honey are you ok, do u want some water, Haney breath, huney dont cry...are you going to be ok huney.Maybe you should lay on your right side, no maybe you should lay on your back,just relax,oh you will be fine..do you need anything..................lol eventually you might get frustrated and scream ......GET OUT! lol
Reply:lol u r all set just stay there with her xD gl hf
Reply:You might want to go and get one of them things that people use for babies(to get the snot out of there nose) just in case one of the pups is choking. And also you cant paint their toenails diff. colors so it will be easier to track them on their whelphin schedule

Family law- custody?

2009-11-12T22:15:00.001-08:00

When my divorce was finalized I agreed to my ex having custody and I got visitation- pay child support, all insurance, half of: school supplies, educational and daycare expenses, and medical, dental and vision expenses not covered by insurance. I have paid all of these and have never missed a payment for anything. I also see my children a lot more than what is in the decree.

I agreed to the custody arrangement because I was working night shift at the time and I didn't have anyone I was close enough with to stay with the children at night.

I have now moved into a position where I work during the day.

My question is: If I file for joint custody do I have a chance of it being awarded now that I can prove that I have had a significant life change which will allow me to spend more time with my children?

I am not seeking any kind of reduction in child support or anything else- just more time with my children. My ex and I are on good terms but I don't think she's going to go for it.

Family law- custody?
Here is what you do - get a journal and for the next 6 months write down your visitation dates and times - don't track it on the computer, do it in you own handwriting, and in order...do regular visiation time in black or blue, the extra time you spend with the kids in red. (or just highlighted)

What you are doing is showing a pattern to the court. Proving that you are getting what you are looking for right now anyway, you just want it official.

Then get to your attorney and file for joint custody - you will have no problems getting it.
Reply:Your kids deserve equal time with dad and you deserve equal time with your kids. What makes you unworthy of this?
Reply:WOW i wish there were more Father in this world like you

i would go for it all they can say is no

and any thing is worth it for you kids

and besides from what you say what court would not

give you what you want

keep up being a great man

and Father
Reply:dont try it, youll piss her off and the divorce courts are made for the WOMAN. thats the truth, it used to be women got shafted all the time now its the men that get boned.
Reply:Why don't you think she would go for it? If you aren't going to reduce the support, what difference does a change in "status" mean? If you are seeing the kids more than what's in the decree, is it that you want to see them more often "legally"? or is the change in "status" important to you as well?
Reply:You can get increased visitation.

Depending on the custody wording in the decree you can get more "custody".

If she has sole legal and sole physical custody and you have some vague "reasonable" visitation, then you will have to prove significant changes to increase your custody. She may have had to made certain mistakes that can be proven. Even if this is still the case, you should be able to get the children every other weekend for a few nights.

Also realize that if the children are in school and you don't live very close, it would be a cluster for you to have custody of them during the week. Not just for you and your ex, but for your children.

With the right attorney you should be able to get something good. Don't be upset if you don't get the kids for weeks at time though, it's hard on kids with school to have to worry about where their home is going to be certain weeks.

Most Judges will happily award you every other weekend overnight visits. Remember your ex deserves to have them every other weekend too. The weekdays with the kids is mostly work and helping them stay clean and organized.

It also helps that you're on good terms with her. Have you thought about asking her politely about your wishes? She will feel less threatened and a be lot more accommodating if you give her the opportunity to agree before "suing" her in Court. If she disagrees, tell her that you mean no disrespect to her but that you're going to take it (not her, it) back to Court to try to get a better schedule because it means so much to you to spend quality time with your kids.

She should be able to appreciate that.

Best of luck!
Reply:first of all :---there is no such thing LEGALLY--that is joint custody----anywhere---technically----yes... no---go figure---right now you pay half it seems of everything---good for you---now listen up----if you go to court for more visitations----you will get them----if you can document all you have said----if not---you will probably still get them if you can prove half of what you say---saying that---it absolutely is in your childs best interest that you go back to court and get more visitations---it is for the child---not your X---dont be p*ss* whipped by her or yourself---do it for the child so it is wrote on an order----what are you going to do if she decides to move away from the area---she is your X right---she can go wherever she likes---almost

Which organzation can offer immediate asistance with diabetic (type 1) insulin pump supplies and insulins?

2009-11-12T22:14:00.003-08:00

After 28 years of employment with one company I am unemployed with no medical or dental insurance for me and my daughter whose a type 1 diabetic. In the next couple of weeks I will need to provide additional supplies of insulin and materials for her meditronic insulin pump. These supplies are very costly without health insurance. Paying out of pocket will drastically impact our living capability at this time. I'd like to take advantage of an organization program(s) within the Houston TX area that could lead to temporary assistance while I seek another job. I appreciate your time and consideration. Thank you.

Which organzation can offer immediate asistance with diabetic (type 1) insulin pump supplies and insulins?
I don't know if this will help or not, as I am not on an insulin pump. I take insulin injections. But, check with the drug company that makes her insulin and supplies. Most drug companies offer free supplies to those who cannot afford it. I get my insulin from Lily and they supply it for free. I also get my glimiperide for free.

You can find out by going to www.pparx.org If your medication doesn't come up on this site then go directly to the manufacturer's website.

Good Luck!
Reply:Talk to her doctor they will have sample supplies of insulin, also call medtronic they are a great company and can help.

Try to stock up and are you applying for insurance that will cover you after a job lost ask your HR person from work. its Cal osca here in California.

You should not limit the area of search to just Houston Texas we have FedEx, UPS and even snail mail all over the country.

You may need to get Medicaid for her. Is she on SSDI? a Medicare drug plan might help out too.

I am a pump user also (sometimes), If you can't find any other help out there email me OK

Good Luck
Reply:talk to the people at medtronic .. they mite work something out with you and get insurance asap ps. they are very easy to work with

When i had my tooth out....?

2009-11-12T22:14:00.002-08:00

about 3 years ago i had my tooth out when i was 12 because of an absess infection.

Well i went to the dental hospital and they gave me laughing gas and half was through i fell asleep for about 30secs, i also felt really sick after the gas and i heard the guy that was pulling the tooth telling the nurse to turn something down quick!

Also once the tooth came out it was bleeding for about 1 hour and a half! Is this normal? Also the dentist said the tooth had a large blood and nerve supply!

So i want to know is...was the time i was bleeding too long,what was it he told her to turn down and what caused that infection?

When i had my tooth out....?
Well, it depends how much blood was coming out. when i get dental work, i usually bleed for a couple hours, but its only little drops here and there. if it was massive amounts, it could have been a problem. also if it was massive amounts you could have von Willebrand disease.

HELP! What is the best brand name when it comes to tattoo products?

2009-11-12T22:14:00.001-08:00

We, (my family and I) have been glove distributors to the medical and dental industry over ten years and over the past six months our clientele has grown and expanded to other industries as well; our latest addition the tattoo industry.

Recently we have been approached by several tattoo artists who express their frustration with the local distributor for lack of inventory and customer service; even though tattoo artists are adamant followers of this particular distributor's product they have been pushed to look for alternatives. Our clients claim they require a local reliable source to supply their shops with-in twenty for hours and/or with rush deliveries.

We pride ourselves with the best customer service and products and that is why we are looking for the best.

HELP! What is the best brand name when it comes to tattoo products?
I have used Ink Fixx, Tattoo Goo, and a few others, but nothing I have used can compare to Black Cat.

www.tattooaftercare.net

Its all natural, doesn't clog pores, and their kit contains soap, ointment, and lotion. Its reasonably priced, and I swear by it, as does my tattoo artist since I brought it into his shop.

Good luck!
Reply:Helping Hands by LUSH.

I know it's not a brand name (or even designed for tattoo use) but everything else I've tried, has hindered the healing process, or faded the ink, or encouraged infection.

It's ridiculous how many useless brand name tattoo products, I've wasted my cash on.

If I were you, I'd see if I couldn't set up a distribution deal with LUSH.

BTW, if you do find something that's not a rip-off, let me know.

Sorry, your question is not very clear.

Why oxygen would be needed as a painkiller in dental work beats me.

My mother had thyroid cancer, and never experienced that.
Reply:Vicki, I believe what you are referring to is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, a treatment in which pure oxygen is used to improve circulation and heal wounds faster. You should contact the Doctor that prescribed this treatment, explain your situation and see if something can be worked out so that you can get the treatment you need. Your health should be your #1 priority.

Unfortunately, usually all the teeth that are anywheres near the path of the radiation need to be removed first, along with any other teeth that are "bad". This is because radiation causes permanent changes to the bone's blood supply and proper healing, of the extraction site, is severely compromised. The prescribed hyperbolic oxygen treatments may have been able to help.

You may now experience a serious and painful bone necrosis.

Your oncologist should have been coordinating care with a dental surgeon prior to your radiation! You need to get to the hospital now! If money or transportation are issues, then you need to communicate that. Hospitals have social services people that can help get you services.

How much water should a dog drink a day?

2009-11-12T22:13:00.000-08:00

Is there a formula of sorts? Our dog was in for a dental cleaning a week ago and the pre-anesthetic blood panel showed a slightly elevated BUN level and a high creatinine (2.5). The vet asked if he was showing signs of kidney failure (excessive water intake, lack of appetitie, lethargic, accidents in the house). He's shown none of these signs. He actually doesn't seem to drink enough. Urine test showed bacteria-so he's currently on an antibiotic, but the bacteria culture came back "no growth" - so she said it must not have been a significant infection. He also had low urine concentration. He goes back at the end of this week for another urine test. Since then we bought bottled water-thinking our softened well water might not be good for stressed kidneys. I've been measuring and he only drinks about 2.5 cups of water a day, even though he has an endless supply. That doesn't seem like enough. He's 95 pounds, 8 years old, Chesapeake Bay Retriever. Will ask the vet this week of course.

How much water should a dog drink a day?
I think bottled water is a good idea. I agree that for a 95 pound dog that 2.5 cups sounds low. Maybe try putting icecubes in the water...not to make it cold, but to make it more interesting to him. It may help.
Reply:We always have a full bowl and depending on the season...More in hot months....Less in the winter....She will empty her bowl by the end of the day and we fill it once more. She's good till morning.
Reply:It depends on the size of your dog if it is any bigger than a full grown lab it should drink about as much as us or more but if its small like a beagle,min pin, or a chihuahua probably about 6 to 7 cups a day. Dont get worried if your dog does not drink this much some dogs dont need that much because of what they do during the day. I
Reply:let him drink as much as he wants.
Reply:The dog should be allowed and able to drink as much water as he or she desires. I make it a point to give my animals fresh water everytime I walk into the kitchen. Even if there's still water in the bowl, I'll top it off with cold water from the tap.

If he's just refusing to drink, that sounds like another problem all together.

How can I get social security numbers for my sister 's children that Im taking care of to get Medical for them

2009-11-12T22:12:00.002-08:00

My niece and nephew have been neglected and I have them in my custody. My nephew needs emergency dental care and my niece has scoliosis-orthopedic. The mother, my sister will NOT give me their SS #'s so that I can get them medical. Im frustrated and need help. Im not getting any fianancial aide for them and will be fine in a few weeks financially but still she doesn't want to cooperate. This is the same sister that has a drug addiction.The father just left out of state with girlfriend and didn't supply me with nothing but Power of Attorney. I need to have Legal Documents stating I have custody in order for SS dept to release them. What can I do?

How can I get social security numbers for my sister 's children that Im taking care of to get Medical for them
You need to start a paper trail starting with DYFS DIVISION OF SOCIAL SERVICE!

Report your sister and get documentation from them and they can help you get there social security numbers from school or force your sister to provide these numbers..

Also depending on what State you live in they can get emergency medical and dental coverage for them..

Your a great aunt for taking care of those kids!

They will love you forever!
Reply:Go to SSA.GOV and order replacement social security cards for them. You can sign as their guardian, since you have custody. And have the new cards sent to your address. For proof of legal custody, you should go back to the courthouse - go to the clerk's office and ask for a certified copy of the judge's order, which gave custody of the kids to you.
Reply:Is the department of family services in your district aware of the situation? If your sister has ever applied for benefits they will have the information. You may also try contacting the doctor she took them to when they were in her custody to see if he/she would be willing to listen to the situation and provide any information.
Reply:What I would do If I was you is call children services and let them know of the situation. Have them forcefully give you custody of the children so you can get the SS#'s and everything you need for them . Unless they find you to be unfit yourself. Then your screwed.
Reply:You need to file in Family Court for custody of these children. That is your first step.

Secondly, you need to go down with whatever you have to social security and go from there, if they can't help you they will know who can!!!

Third, go down to dept of social services and apply for medicaid, tell them the situtation and you will be surprised how willing they are to help children.
Reply:The best place to start is going to be the Social Securtity Office's website at www.socialsecurity.gov. There is a wealth of information there and if all else fails look up your nearest Social Security Office to go to. Any documents are going to help in this case such as birth certificates. But check out the website or your local office, also listed on the website is a toll free number you can call.
Reply:If you have the legal custody, then you are legal guardian. There's no reason why any government would hold information if your statements are true. Should be easy enough to get birth certificate from county records clerk which could be used as ID to obtain SS#..however, if you have legal custody you could get ss# straight from SSA office. Just matter of showing them court documents assigning you as legal guardian.

Easiest way would be to go to their old doctor, whichever they saw before and ask for the records to be released, the full records. It should contain SS#. However, due to HIPAA, you'll have to still prove that you have the legal custody.

THE BUDWIG FLAX OIL DIET

The Flaxseed (Linseed) oil diet was originally proposed by Dr. Johanna Budwig, a german biochemist and expert on fats and oils, in 1951 and recently re-examined by Dr. Dan C. Roehm M.D. FACP (Oncologist and former cardiologist) in 1990. Dr. Roehm claims: "this diet is far and away the most successful anti-cancer diet in the world".

Budwig claims that the diet is both a preventative and a curative. She says the absence of linol-acids [in the average western diet] is responsible for the production of oxydase, which induces cancer growth and is the cause of many other chronic disorders.

The beneficial oxydase ferments are destroyed by heating or boiling oils in foods, and by nitrates used for preserving meat, etc.

The theory is: the use of oxygen in the organism can be stimulated by protein compounds of sulphuric content, which make oils water-soluble and which is present in cheese, nuts, onion and leek vegetables such as leek, chive, onion and garlic, but especially cottage cheese.

Ferments of cell respiration closely connected with the highly unsaturated fatty acids, are also needed for proper oxydation. It is essential to use only unrefined, cold-pressed oils with high linolic acid content, such as linseed, sunflower, soya, poppyseed, walnut, and corn oils. Such oil should be consumed together with foods containing the right proteins otherwise the oils will have the OPPOSITE EFFECT, causing more harm than good.

The best combination is cottage cheese and linseed oil. The linseed should be freshly ground. Carbohydrates containing natural sugar, such as dates, figs, pears, apples and grapes, are also included in the diet. Honey is also beneficial. Most of the synthetic vitamin A preparations are bad because they contain oxidation products, but much carotine as provitamin A (from carrot) is consumed. Vitamin B from buttermilk, yoghurt, and natural yeast is beneficial.

A person requires daily about 4 oz. of cottage cheese mixed well with 1.5 oz. of linseed oil and 1 oz. of milk. A blender or egg beater works fine. The mixture an be sweeten with honey or otherwise flavoured naturally. Fresh fruits can be added. Every morning 2 spoonfuls of freshly ground linseed oil should be taken in luke warm buttermilk or yoghurt.

The diet is indicated for all kinds of chronic diseases, especially heart ailments (corony thrombosis), gall disorders, diabetes, arthritis, and malignancies. It improves failing hearing and sight. It is the ideal nutrient for children and infants. It is suggested that this diet be supplemented with lactic acid ferments (4).

"What she (Dr. Johanna Budwig) has demonstrated to my initial disbelief but lately, to my complete satisfaction in my practice is: CANCER IS EASILY CURABLE, the treatment is dietary/lifestyle, the response is immediate; the cancer cell is weak and vulnerable; the precise biochemical breakdown point was identified by her in 1951 and is specifically correctable, in vitro (test-tube) as well as in vivo (real)... " (Roehm, "Townsend Letter for Doctors", July 1990)

GENERAL RULES

The patient has no nourishment on day ..1 other than 250 ml (8.5 oz) of Flax Oil with honey plus freshly squeezed fruit juices (no sugar added!). In the case of a very ill person, champagne may be added on the first day in place of juice and is taken with the Flax Oil and honey. Champagne is easily absorbable and has a serious purpose here.

1) SUGAR IS ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN. Grape juice may be added to sweeten any other freshly squeezed juices.

2) Other 'forbiddens' are:

- All animal fats.

- All Salad Oils (this included commercial mayonnaise)

- All Meats (chemicals %26amp; hormones)

- Butter

- Margarine

- Preserved Meats (the preservatives block metabolism even of Flax Oil)

3) Freshly squeezed vegetable juices are fine - carrot, celery, apple, and red beet.

4) Three times daily a warm tea is essential - peppermint, rose hips or grape tea - all sweetened as desired with honey. One cup of black tea before noon is fine.

DAILY PLAN

Before breakfast - a glass of Acidophilus milk or Sauerkraut juice is taken.

Breakfast - Muesli (regular cereal) is overlaid with 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of Flax Oil and honey and fresh fruit according to season - berries, cherries, apricots, peaches, grated apple. Vary the flavour from day to day. Use any nuts except peanuts! Herbal teas as desired or black tea. A 4 oz (120 g) serving of THE SPREAD (directions below). This is fine to eat 'straight' like a custard, or add it to other foods taken in the day as you will see.

Morning tea (10am) - A glass of fresh carrot juice, apple, celery, or beet-apple juice is taken.

Lunch - Raw salad with yoghurt-Flax Oil Mayonnaise (directions below).

In addition to 'greens' salads, use grated turnips, carrots, kohlrabi, radishes, sauerkraut or cauliflower. A fine powder of horseradish, chives or parsley may be added for flavour.

Cooked Meal Course - Steamed vegetables, potatoes, or such grains as rice, buck-wheat or millet may be served. to these add either THE SPREAD or THE MAYO - for flavour and to up your intake of Flax Oil. Also mix THE SPREAD with potatoes for an especially hearty meal. Add caraway, chives, parsley or other herbs.

Dessert - Mix fresh fruit other than those used for breakfast with THE SPREAD, this time (instead of honey), flavoured using cream of lemon, vanilla or berries.

Afternoon Tea (4pm) - A small glass of natural wine (no preservatives) or champagne or fresh fruit juice with 1-2 tablespoons of honey-coated Fax Seeds.

Supper - Have this early, at 6pm. Make a hot meal using buckwheat, oat or soy cakes. grits from buckwheat are the very best and can be placed in a vegetable soup, or in a more solid form of cakes with herbal sauce. Sweet sauces %26amp; soups can always be given far more healing energy by adding THE SPREAD. Only honey or grape juice can be used for sweeteners. NO white sugar (or brown!) Only freshly squeezed juices and NOT reconstituted juices (preservative danger) may be used. These must be completely natural.

How to prepare 'THE SPREAD'

Place 250 ml (8.5 oz) Flax Oil into a mixer bowl and add one pound (450 g) of 1 ottage Cheese (ie low fat eg Quark) and add 4 tablespoons (60 ml) of Honey. Turn on the mixer and add just enough low fat milk or water to get the contents of the bowl to blend in together. In 5 minutes, a preparation of custard consistency results that has NO taste of the oil (and no oily 'ring' should be seen when you rinse out the bowl).

Alternatively, you can use Yoghurt instead of Cottage Cheese in proportions of 1 oz (30 g) of Yoghurt to 1 tablespoon (15 ml) each of Flax Oil and of honey and blend as above.

NOTE: When Flax Oil is blended like this, it does not cause diarrhoea even when given in large amounts. It reacts chemically with the (sulphur) proteins of the cottage cheese, yoghurt, etc.

How to prepare 'THE MAYO' (Mayonnaise):

Mix together 2 tablespoons (30 ml) Flax Oil, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) milk, and 2 tablespoons (30 ml) Yoghurt.

Then add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of Lemon juice (or Apple Cider Vinegar) and add 1 teaspoon (2.5g) Mustard plus some herbs such as marjoram or dill.

Next add 2 or 3 slices of health food store pickles (no preservatives! - read label!) and a pinch of herbal salts.

(The above mayonnaise plus lots of mustard and a few bananas is very tasty!)

Concluding remarks by Dr. Roehm - "I only wish that all my patients had a PhD in Biochemistry and Quantum Physics to enable them to see how with such consummate skill this diet was put together. It is a wonder. The champagne vehicle IS easier to assimilate and get someone almost on their death-bed going again. A retention enema of 250 ml (8.5 oz) of oil is another route to get this precious life-furthering, ELECTRON-RICH oil into the body. It can also be applied to the skin for transdermal

absorption. I'll answer your questions and give you "special orders" for you particular case.

You will have to remain on this diet for a good 5 years, at which time your tumour may have disappeared. Persons who break the rules of this diet, Dr Budwig reports, (ie eating preserved meats, candy, etc) will sometimes grow rapidly worse and cannot be saved after they come back from their spree (bon-bons mean bye-bye).

In 1967, Dr Budwig broadcast the following sentence during an interview over the South German Radio Network, describing her incoming patients with failed operations and x-ray therapy":

"Even in these cases it is possible to restore health in a few months at most, I would truly say 90f the time".

"This has never been contradicted, but this knowledge has been a long time reaching this side of the ocean, hasn't it? Cancer treatment can be very simple and very successful once you know how. The cancer interests dont want you to know this.

May those of you who have suffered from this disease (and I include your family and friends in this) forgive the miscreants who have kept this simple information from reaching you for so long".

(signed) Dan C. Roehm, M.D. FACP

--------------------------------------...

"The best, purest, most carefully prepared Flax Oil in America is, in my opinion", said Roehm, "is Omegaflo. Arrowhead mills label is most often seen in Florida (USA). Look for the Omegaflo".

"FLAX (LINSEED) OIL is readily denatured by oxygen, heat, and light. That's why it is used in paint. Rancid oil is bad for health, so oil MUST be carefully produced, packed under nitrogen in light-proof

containers, refrigerated until used, used as fresh as possible, and stabilised with protein (THE SPREAD, etc) promptly once the container is opened..."

Flax Seeds may also be used. Seeds need only be cracked in a food blender, or they may be ground in a coffee grinder. One needs three times the amount of seed to get the oil equivalent. Seeds are high in calories, so one may gain weight. The seeds are also high in soluble fibre, so blending with liquid tends to produce ever-hardening "jellies". Fresh-cracked seed sprinkled on muesli %26amp; eaten promptly

tastes great.

-------

Ed McCabe (p85, "Oxygen Therapies") discusses his point of view on

essential fatty acids:

"The red blood cells in the lungs give up carbon dioxide and take on oxygen. They are then transported to the cell site via the blood vessels, where, they release their oxygen into the plasma. This released oxygen is "attracted" to the cells by the "resonance" of the pi-electron" oxidation-enhancing fatty acids. Otherwise, oxygen cannot work its way into the cell. "Electron rich fatty acids" play the decisive role in "respiratory enzymes, which are the basis of cell oxidation...".

"Dont eat anything hydrogenated like (like margarine, or fried foods) as it defeats oxygenation. Avoid products that say "hydrogenated".

"We should eat essential polyunsaturated fatty acids to enhance oxygenation. They can be found naturally in Carotene, Saffron, and Flaxseed oil."

Who is Dr. Johanna Budwig?

Dr. Johanna Budwig is known and highly respected around the world as Germany's premier biochemist. In addition, Dr. Budwig holds a Ph.D. in Natural Science, has undergone medical training, and was schooled in pharmaceutical science, physics, botany and biology. In all courses, this brilliant scientist excelled.

She is best known for her extensive research on the properties and benefits of flaxseed oil combined with sulphurated proteins in the diet, and over the years has published a number of books on the subject, including "Cancer--A Fat Problem," "The Death of the Tumor," and "True Health Against Arteriosclerosis, Heart Infarction %26amp; Cancer."

Dr. Budwig has assisted many seriously ill individuals, even those given up as terminal by orthodox medical practitioners, to regain their health through a simple regimen of nutrition. The basis of Dr. Budwig's program is the use of flaxseed oil blended with low-fat cottage cheese.

In the mid 1950's, Dr. Budwig began her long and meticulous research on the importance of essential fatty acids (linoleic and linolenic) in the diet. Her subsequent discoveries and announcements sparked mixed reactions. While the general public was eager for this astounding information, German manufacturers of commercial dietary fats (margarine, hard shortening, vegetable oils) went to extremes to prevent her from publishing her findings. Fortunately, while Dr. Budwig's vital announcements were initially met with resistance backed by those with financial stakes in the commercial fats industry, her persistence paid off. Today, Dr. Johanna Budwig is world renowned for her important discoveries on the benefits of flaxseed oil. Her fame precedes her as she lectures all over Europe.

Fats-Good and Bad

Dr. Johanna preaches against the use of what she calls "pseudo" fats. In order to extend the shelf life of their products, manufacturers use chemical processes that render their food products harmful to the body. These harmful fats go by a number of names, including "hydrogenated," "partially hydrogenated" and even "polyunsaturated."

The chemical processing of fats destroys the vital electron cloud within the fat. Once the electrons have been removed, these fats can no longer bind with oxygen, and they actually become a harmful substance deposited within the body. The heart, for instance, rejects these fats and they end up as inorganic fatty deposits on the heart muscle itself.

Chemically processed fats are not water-soluble when bound to protein. They end up blocking circulation, damage heart action, inhibit cell renewal and impede the free flow of blood and lymph fluids. The bio-electrical action in these areas slows down and may become completely paralyzed. The entire organism shows a measurable loss of electrical energy which is replenished only by adding active lipids to the diet. These nutritional fats are truly vital for man and beast alike.

Science has proven that fats play an important role in the functioning of the entire body. Fats (lipids) are vital for all growth processing, renewal of cells, brain and nerve functions, even for the sensory organs (eyes and ears), and for the body's adjustment to heat, cold and quick temperature changes. Our energy resources are based on lipid metabolism. To function efficiently, cells require true polyunsaturated, live electron-rich lipids, present in abundance in raw flaxseed oil. True polyunsaturated fats greedily absorb proteins and oxygen and pump them through the system.

Lipids are only water-soluble and free-flowing when bound to protein; thus the importance of protein-rich cottage cheese. When high quality, electron-rich fats are combined with proteins, the electrons are protected until the body requires energy. This energy source is then fully and immediately available to the body on demand, as nature intended.

Proven Benefits Still Pouring In

Since Dr. Johanna Budwig's findings on the benefits of flaxseed oil have been widely publicized, scientists around the world have eagerly jumped on the bandwagon. Studies conducted using flaxseed oil on numerous disorders have been pouring in from all over the world, showing impressive results, including anti-tumor activity, increased metabolism, greatly boosted immune system, reduced cholesterol levels, normalized blood pressure levels and inhibition of cancer cell growth. Books research reports, articles and testimonials abound, all touting the healthy benefits achieved by supplementing the diet with organic, raw, cold-pressed flaxseed oil with low-fat cottage cheese. Dr. Budwig's research was based on using the ratio of 2 tablespoons flaxseed oil mixed with one-quarter cup of low fat cottage cheese.

Backed with all this extensive research, the indisputable fact is: Supplementing your diet daily with flaxseed oil combined with sulphurated proteins could very well be the most important thing you do for yourself every day.

--------------------------------------...

A top European cancer research scientist, Dr Johanna Budwig, has

discovered a totally natural formula that not only protects against the

development of cancer but people all over the world who have been diagnosed

with incurable cancer and sent home to die have actually been cured and now

lead normal healthy lives.

After three decades of research Dr. Budwig, sixtime nominee for the Nobel

Award, found that the blood of seriously ill cancer patients was always,

without exception, deficient in certain important essential ingredients

which included substances called phosphatides and lipoproteins. (The blood

of a healthy person always contains sufficient quantities of these essential

ingredients. However, without these natural ingredients cancer cells grow

wild and out of control.)

Blood analysis showed a strange greenish-yellow substance in place of the

healthy red oxygen carrying hemoglobin that belongs there. This explained

why cancer patients weaken and become anemic This startling discovery led

Dr. Budwig to test her theory.

She found that when these natural ingredients where replaced over

approximately a three month period, tumors gradually receded. The strange

greenish elements in the blood were replaced with healthy red blood cells as

the phosphatides and lipoproteins almost miraculously reappeared. Weakness

and anemia disappeared and life energy was restored. Symptoms of cancer,

liver dysfunction and diabetes were completely alleviated.

Dr. Budwig then discovered an all natural way for people to replace those

essential ingredients their bodies so desperately needed in their daily

diet. By simply eating a combination of just two natural and delicious

foods not only can cancer be prevented but in case after case it was

actually cured. (These two natural foods, organic flax seed oil %26amp; cottage

cheese) must be eaten together to be effective since one triggers the

properties of the other to be released.)

After more than 10 years of solid clinical application, Dr. Budwig's natural

formula has proven successful where many orthodox remedies have failed. Dr.

Budwig's formula has been used therapeutically in Europe for prevention of:

Cancer! Arteriosclerosis, Strokes, Cardiac Infarction, Heartbeat

(irregular), Liver (fatty degeneration), Lungs (reduces bronchial

spasms), Intestines (regulates activity). Stomach Ulcers (normalizes

gastric juices), Prostate (hypertopic), Arthritis (exerts a favorable

influence), Eczema (assists all skin diseases), Old age (improves many

common afflictions), Brain (strenghthens activity), Immune Deficiency

Syndromes (multiple sclerosis, autoimmune illnesses)

Thousands have flocked to hear Dr. Budwig lecture all over Europe. The many

people Dr. Budwig's formula has helped testify to the benefits of her

remarkable discovery. Following are a few examples: In one of my interviews

with Dr. Budwig I was introduced to Siegried Ernst, M.D.. He is a rare and

dedicated man who counts among his personal friends the current Pope as well

as many other dignitaries.

Testimonials :

Dr. Ernst

Seventeen years ago Dr. Ernst had developed cancer for which he had

major surgery requiring removal of his stomach. Two years later he had a

recurrence of the cancer and was offered chemotherapy as the only available

remedy. There was little hope for survival as virtually all individuals with

recurrence of this type of cancer rarely last a year.

Dr. Ernst knew that chemotherapy was not only ineffective for his type of

cancer but completaly destructive of the quality of life, so he refused.

He turned to Dr. Budwig and her formula for help. He religiously followed

Dr. Budwig's formula and fifteen years later has not had any recurrence of

cancer. As a matter of fact he seemed to me to be in perfect health and is

tireless for a man in his late seventies.

--------------------------------------...

Maria W.

Maria W. tells her story in her own words: "I was told by the most expert of

doctors that I would have to be operated on to cut out the cancerous tumor

that was causing a swelling under my eye. They explained that the size of

the tumor was much greater inside and that there was very serious bone

involvement. The malignancy was too far advanced to respond to radiation

treatment. The doctors planned to remove considerable facial tissue and

bone. I was afraid for my life, but being a young woman, couldn't bear the

thought of such disfigurement.

When I heard about Dr. Budwig's natural formula, I was skeptical but

desperate for help. After four months on this regimen, the swelling under my

left eye completely disappeared. The doctors at the University hospital gave

me many exhausting tests. One told me, 'If I didn't have your previous

x-rays and medical history in front of me, I wouldn't believe that you ever

had cancer. There is hardly any indication of a tumor remaining.' I never

thought using Dr, Budwig's formula would be so successful. My whole family

and I are very grateful."

--------------------------------------...

Sandy A.

An examination of Sandy A. revealed arachnoidal bleeding due to an

inoperable brain tumor. The doctors informed Sandy that he was beyond

medical help. At his expressed wish, Sandy was discharged from the

hospital and sent home to die in peace.

A friend brought Dr. Budwigs formula to Sandys attention. Sandy writes.

Since I went on the Budwig regimen, the paralysis is of my eyes, arms, and

legs has receded daily. After only a short period of time, I was able to

urinate normally. My health improved so rapidly that I was soon able to

return to my work part-time. Shortly after that, I was again examined at the

Research Center and my reflexes were completely normal. The Budwig diet

saved my life! Ten years later, I was given a thorough examination at the

Center as a follow-up. My incredible recovery has been written up In many

medical journals and I have become what they call a 'textbook case,' and

all because of Dr. Johanna Budwig's simple diet."

--------------------------------------...

Timmy G.

Seven years ago Timmy G. was diagnosed as having Hodgkins disease. The child

was operated on and underwent 24 radiation treatments, plus additional

experimental therapies that the experts hoped would be of some small help.

When Timmy failed to respond favorably to these heroic measures, he was

discharged as incurable, and given six months to live and sent home to die.

The desperate parents contacted specialists all over the world. A famous

newspaper took up Timmy's cause and ran editorials pleading for someone to

come forth who could offer hope for the life of a child. All the specialists

who replied confirmed the cruel prognosis: There was no hope or help for

Timmy.

At this dark hour the miracle the family had prayed for happened!

Timmy's mother told her story to the press: "A friend sent me a printed piece about one of Dr. Budwig's speeches. This material gave us hope and I contacted Dr. Budwig.

In just five days, (on the Budwig regimen) Timmy's breathing became normal

for the first lime In almost two years.

From this day on, Timmy began to feel good again. He went back to school, started swimming and by winter he was doing craft work. Everyone who knows him says how well he looks." At age 18 Timmy is showing great promise in his university work. He knows he owes his life to Dr. Budwig and thanks her daily in his prayers.

One of the two foods in on Budwig's formula, cottage cheese, is available

in nearly every grocery store in America. The other, pure organic linseed

oil, however comes primarily from Europe and can only be found in certain

health food stores throughout the United States.

By simply mixing these two delicious foods together and eating them you will

be providing yourself and your family with the optimal preventive

nutritional protection against cancer and other disease.

The Hidden Story of Cancer

(Pinnacle Press, Houston, USA, 2006)

--------------------------------------...

The prime cause of cancer is not genetic

Cancer was once an uncommon disease affecting a small percentage of Americans. In 1900, only 3% of the population died of cancer.2 But now, cancer has become so common that virtually everyone knows someone afflicted with this terrible disease. In fact, for the average American, contraction of cancer isn't the exception; instead, it has become the rule.3 We've come to accept cancer as unstoppable, incurable and even a natural part of life. This perception is a tragedy, since cancer is not a natural disease for man and is preventable.

What is shocking to most people, is the scientific fact that cancer is genetically recessive, not dominant. In fact, the human body is highly resistant to cancer. In 1969, Professor Henry Harris of Oxford University shook the cancer research community to its core when he proved these previous theories wrong. Professor Harris took normal tissue cells and fused three types of cancer cells to them. Surely, he thought, the cancer cells would take over the normal cells and "convert" them into cancer. Surprisingly, they grew normally.4

Contrary to popular opinion, cancer takes several decades to develop in humans.5 Given this long incubation period, science can show us the way to destroy any initial pre-cancerous cells and keep the cancerous ones from causing widespread damage.

If you think cancer has a genetic basis, then think again. Dr Robert A. Weinberg of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), one of the world's leading cancer researchers and discoverer of the so-called oncogene (cancer-causing gene), reversed his previous conclusions after discovering that "fewer than one DNA base in a million appears to have been miscopied". It's not enough of a defect! His exact words: "Something was very wrong. The notion that a cancer developed through the successive activation of a series of oncogenes had lost its link to reality." He called the genetic discoveries made thus far "sterile".6 The prime cause of cancer is therefore not genetic. This was announced in 1998. Did you hear about it? Probably not.

In 2006, the heads of the world's largest cancer research centre in Houston, Texas, announced that cancer's prime cause isn't genetic: "'If it could have happened [solving cancer with genetics], it would have already happened with genetic mutations,' said William Brinkley, a senior vice-president at Baylor who says other research should take precedence over the cancer genome projectÉ Dr John Mendelsohn [president of M. D. Anderson Cancer Center] states, 'Any claims that this [genetic research] is going to be the key to curing cancer are not appropriate.'"7

Thus, the prime cause of cancer is not a genetic mutation. Even if cancer "runs in your family", there is real hope. Unfortunately, the geneticists have it backwards, attempting to force the facts to fit their genetics-based theories when they don't fit the facts, because, as Professor Harris demonstrated many years ago, cancer isn't genetically dominant. Where does this leave us? Where can we look for solutions? What about the popular nutritional solutions to fighting cancer?

The popular anti-cancer "solutions" don't work

Most people diligently follow the experts' recommendations in the hope of winning the war on cancer. Unfortunately, virtually nothing of what we are told is based on scientific facts. Consider the following list of supposed "solutions", along with the date of their published failures as reported in the world's leading medical journals. Many of us never hear of the retractions and consequently keep following methods that don't protect us from contracting cancer.

(a) Fruits and vegetables: Even the green leafy vegetables don't protect against contracting breast cancer (JAMA 2001; 285:769-776).8

(b) Fibre: This worsens colon cancer rather than helping prevent it (Lancet 2000; 356:1286-7).9

(c) Mammography: Samuel S. Epstein, MD (chairman of the Cancer Prevention Coalition), Rosalie Bertell and Barbara Seaman published an article exposing truths about mammography that most women have never been told (Int J Health Sci 2001; 31(3):605-15): "Contrary to popular belief and assurances by the US media...mammography is not a technique for early diagnosis. In fact, a breast cancer has usually been present for about eight (8) years before it can finally be detected..."10

(d) Fish oil: Most fish oil supplements are worthless in preventing cancer and may be hazardous to your health (articles: 1995Ð2006). The International Society for the Study of Fatty Acids and Lipids (ISSFAL) 4th Congress, which met on 4Ð9 June 2000 in Tsukuba, Japan, reported the following:11

"...[S]tudies indicate that at the levels used, fish oil [comprised of omega-3 derivatives] decreases a wide range of immune cell responses (natural killer cell, cytotoxic T lymphocyte activities, lymphocyte proliferation and production of IL-2 and IFN-y (1,2))..."

"...Recent studies have indicated that relatively low levels of the long chain omega-3 fatty acids (EPA or DHA)...are sufficient to bring about some of the suppressive effects..."

"...This decrease (of inhibited lymphocyte proliferation and natural killer cell activity) causes increased cellular bacteria [infection] and impaired tumor cell killing."

Any substance causing impaired tumour cell killing ability is cancer-causingÑthe opposite of what we desire. With so many of us consuming fish oil, could this be another reason that cancer contraction rates are increasing instead of decreasing?

Fish oil is also worthless in preventing heart disease, and Harvard Medical School warned us about this years ago but too few Americans listened.12 Consuming whole fish instead of fish oil failed, too.13

The Japanese have greater cancer rates and greater heart disease rates than Americans. Cancer has been Japan's number-one cause of death since 1981.14 The popular media don't often disclose these startling facts.

In January 2006, the omega-3 anti-cancer fallacy was exposed (JAMA 2006; 295(4)): "A large body of literature spanning numerous cohorts from many countries and with different demographic characteristics does not provide evidence to suggest a significant association between omega-3 fatty acids and [lack of] cancer incidence. Dietary supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids [is] unlikely to prevent cancer."15

The most comprehensive analysis to date, published in the British Medical Journal of 24 March 2006, reviewing 96 trials including 44 trials with supplements and five trials consisting of mainly ALA (parent omega-3) from plants like flax with the remainder being fish oil, confirms the anti-cancer failure: "We found no evidence that omega-3 fats had an effect on the incidence of cancer and there was no inconsistency... This systematic review assessed the health effects of using omega-3 fats (together or separately) on total mortality, cardiovascular events, cancer and strokes in a wide variety of participants and found no evidence of a clear benefit of omega-3 fats on health."16

Unfortunately, in spite of these facts, most physicians around the world still recommend fish oil to prevent both cancer and heart disease.

(e) Soy: Soy products won't protect you against contracting cancer, either. The properties of soy are still touted by nutritionists, physicians and popular health and beauty publications, all ignorant of the scientific facts. There is a very hazardous side to soy that you need to know about. For example, the article "Soybean Goiter: Report of Three Cases" (NEJM 1960; 262(22):1099-1103) details three cases of infants developing goitre when they were consuming soybean "formula". The condition was rapidly eliminated in two of the infants when the soy "formula" was terminated. The third child was cured when iodine was added to the diet.17

What did soy formula have to do with thyroid (goitre) problems? Soybeans are a source of isoflavonoids, including genistein and daidzein. Contrary to popular belief and what is often reported in the media, they are both hazardous to your health. The following comes from Biochemical Pharmacology 1997; 54:1087-96): "Soybeans contain compounds (genistein and daidzein-the 'active ingredients') that inhibit [interfere with] thyroid peroxidase (TPO) which is essential to thyroid hormone synthesis [production]." Soybeans are not good for the thyroid! The popular so-called phyto-oestrogens genistein and daidzein are actually endocrine disruptors. Women around the world have been misled. What does soy "formula" have to do with the iodine deficiency? Soy contains phytates which "magnetise out" essential nutrients like iodine.

Today, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Department of Health and Human Services, lists 288 records of soy at its "FDA Poisonous Plant Database" (March 2006 revision). Their website will shock you as you discover that soy is anything but a health food (http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~djw/pltx.cgi?Q...

Soy harms your immune system, too. Back in 1975, the Canadian Journal of Biochemistry reported that soybeans actually weaken your immune system:21 "Soybean trypsin inhibitor was found to inhibit transformation of human lymphocytes..."

Here's why this happens. Trypsin is an enzyme produced by your pancreas and used in digesting protein; it is critical for antibody production. An inhibitor is something that disables. Think of it like having one foot on the gas and another on the brake of your automobile at the same time. Your car's engine would blow up.

So a trypsin inhibitor will irritate your pancreas, stressing it to produce hormones when it can't, leading to decreased oxygenation from the irritation. Soy prevents the protein you eat from being fully utilised and digested. Your immune system can't get fuelled with proper antibodies and lymphocytes--a double whammy. Therefore, soy is cancer-causing to your pancreas, and cancer of the pancreas is typically a death sentence. Because of bad advice, many women especially have decreased the amount of cancer-fighting animal-based protein they consume in favour of soy. Resist this incorrect advice and minimise your chances of contracting both thyroid and pancreatic cancer.

Dr Otto Warburg's anti-cancer research

Many of my physician colleagues were shocked to discover these truths. How many of us saw these important medical journal findings reported in the popular press? Unfortunately, not enough of us. Don't despair, because there is an anti-cancer answer. It was discovered back in 1925 by Otto Warburg, MD, PhD. Dr Warburg has been referred to as the greatest biochemist of the 20th century; the sheer number and magnitude of his discoveries qualify him as the most accomplished biochemist of all time.22

In the 1920s, Dr Warburg carried on the research on respiratory enzymes, certain vitamins and minerals that the body requires for the utilisation of oxygen in the cells, which eventually earned him the Nobel Prize in 1931. (Today, these vitamins and minerals are termed "co-enzymes".) The Nobel Committee clearly expected the medical world to benefit through Otto Warburg's vital discoveries about cancer. Unfortunately, politics intervened and cancer wasn't eradicated.

Despite his early successes and honours, Dr Warburg continued to make major fundamental discoveries throughout his later years as well, capping off an amazingly fruitful 60-year career in research. In addition, Dr Warburg often created new tools for his research. For example, he discovered how to measure the pressure of oxygen in a living cell by developing a special manometerÑa very important development that led to his discovery that low oxygen concentration and pressure always presaged the development of cancer.

The importance of Dr Warburg's achievement is that he isolated the functional prime cause of cancer. Rather than working on a theoretical level too far removed from the physiological realities of cancer to be able to provide practical therapies and preventive programs, he described the actual conditions in the cells that set up and cause cancer, and by doing this made it possible for others later to develop functional, practical ways to inhibit the development of cancer.

It is appalling that no significant principle out of his numerous discoveries has been utilised by the US medical research community for cancer prevention, treatment and remission retention. Despite the expression of opinions disputing the direction and validity of Warburg's work, no scientist or researcher has ever disproved the validity, correctness or applicability of these important discoveries to the prevention and cure of cancer. Even today, medical consensus often has little to do with science. Politics has squandered the efforts of many cancer researchers.

The prime cause of cancer

We have become so accustomed to being told that "some day" we might discover what causes cancer and that cancer is the major medical mystery of our modern time, that the following might be hard to believe.

Dr Otto Warburg discovered and clearly stated that the prime, most basic, cause of cancer is too little oxygen getting into the cell. "We find by experiment about 35% inhibition of oxygen respiration already suffices to bring about such a transformation during cell growth," he stated at a 1966 conference of Nobel laureates in Lindau, Germany.28

That's it! It sounds very simple, doesn't it? Just one-third less oxygen than normal and you contract cancer. Based on meticulous experiments that he and many others verified numerous times, Dr Warburg discovered and stated that the prime, number-one cause of cancer is simply too little oxygen getting into the cell (hypoxia).

It gets worse because once a cell becomes cancerous, it can't return to normal; it must be destroyed (Science 1956; 123(3191)).29

When I first encountered this information, I didn't believe it. Even now, there is still no one who is more shocked than I am! To my amazement, this cancer-oxygen connection information has been published numerous times in recent cancer journals, e.g., Radiotherapy and Oncology 1993; 26(1):45-50 and 1999; 53:113-17.30 However, the practical solution to solving the oxygen deficiency problem has evaded researchersÑprobably because they haven't known where to start.

Taking hydrogen peroxide, calcium supplements, fish oil supplements, massive amounts of omega-3, ozone or so-called "oxygenated water" won't solve the cellular oxygen deficiency. No one has been able to advance Dr Warburg's discovery until now.

This lack of understanding explains many of the misunderstood biochemical activities related to cancer that waste precious time and lead virtually nowhere. Only Dr Warburg's anti-cancer discovery predicts so many never-before-explained real-life results.31

Dr Warburg's discovery has been verified numerous times both in turning normal cells cancerous and in showing that cancer doesn't develop in highly oxygenated areas. Surprisingly, it was American physicians who conclusively proved it in 1953 and confirmed it in 1955! Goldblatt and Cameron noted (p. 535) (J. Experimental Medicine 1953; 97:535-552) that once damage is too great to the cell, then no amount of oxygen will return the cell's respiration back to normal: it is forever doomed to a cancerous life.

This is why prevention is the ultimate solution to never contracting cancer. However, they confirmed it is possible to prevent a "respiration-impacted" precancerous cell from becoming permanently cancerous if oxygen deficiency is stopped early enough.32

Secondary causes of cancer

Virtually every supposed cause of cancer mentioned today in the health and nutritional media is a secondary cause. Secondary causes include things such as environment, chemical carcinogens, environmental and medical radiation, trans-fats, food additives, the chemicals in tobacco smoke, viruses and even genetic mutations.

There are innumerable secondary causes of cancer, and minimising them and their harmful effects can be helpful in preventing cancer. But endlessly pursuing new secondary causes, like smoking, without explaining specifically what common effect they have on the cells, has never led, and will never lead, researchers to a real cancer cure.

Dr Warburg cautioned us again and again about wasting precious time pursuing secondary causes. Make no mistake about this: the thing every secondary cause of cancer has in common with every other one is that it leads, directly or indirectly, to insufficient oxygen in the cells. Therefore, if we directly address the question of how to get sufficient oxygen into the cells, we will have minimised the danger from every type of secondary cause.

Exercise is not the solution to remaining cancer-free

I know what many of you are likely thinking: "I exercise a lot, therefore I am oxygenating my blood. I've got cancer beat!" No. All that exercise didn't stop world champion cyclist Lance Armstrong from contracting cancer. It is true that by exercising you are increasing oxygenation to your blood. However, by doing so, you still haven't guaranteed that this oxygen will be transferred effectively to each cell in each organ in your body.

Dr Warburg made it quite clear that oxygen alone is not sufficient: "To be sure, cancer development takes place even in the presence of free oxygen gas in the atmosphere, but this oxygen may not penetrate in sufficient quantity into the growing body cells, or the respiratory apoenzymes of the growing body cells may not be saturated with the active groups."34

There are many factors that promote the lack of cellular oxygen, including certain deficiencies we will talk about shortly. Exercise, by itself, is therefore not the solution to remaining cancer free. Many people, including athletes, who exercise regularly still get cancer. Furthermore, a person breathes at least 17,000 times a day (12 breaths a minute). Do you really think that you aren't breathing in enough oxygen with 17,000 breaths a day? You are. The problem lies elsewhere.

Essential fatty acids and EFA-containing oils

The body requires special fats that, among other important functions, make it possible for sufficient oxygen to reach the cells via the cellular membranes, which are the key. These special fats are highly oxygen-absorbing. Called essential fatty acids, or EFAs, these special fats must be supplied from outside the body every day, from foods and certain oils, because your body can't manufacture them on its own. There are two "parent" forms of EFAs that allow your body to make whatever it needs from them, i.e., various types of EFA "derivatives". Parent omega-6 is termed linoleic acid (LA), and parent omega-3 is termed alpha-linolenic acid (ALA).

For tables of EFA-containing oils, shown with their percentages of parent omega-6 to parent omega-3, as well as of some EFA derivatives, see http://www.BrianPeskin/Nexus.com. With all the hoopla about olive oil, I want you to know that it contains mainly omega-9, a non-essential oil that your body itself makes. "Extra virgin" olive oil is traditionally unprocessed and therefore not cancer-causing, but it won't protect you against contracting cancer in the least. Avoid margarine: it won't go bad even when kept out of the fridge. This is the proof of hydrogenated oil's failure to oxygenate. If it still could oxygenate when eaten, it would turn rancid when left unrefrigerated--just like fish does. Canola and soy oils are not recommended; neither was ever meant for human consumption but as food for farm animals or for industrial applications. Many foods, especially salad dressings, now contain canola oil. You should try to avoid it.

The oils must be uncooked, or at the very least only slightly heated, to retain their important nutritional properties. Also bear in mind that some supplement manufacturers' labels fail to separately identify and distinguish the parent EFAs from the EFA derivatives. It may be impossible to tell whether you are getting the parent EFAs or the EFA derivatives. Make certain of what you're getting before you purchase it. Make sure the oils are raw, unprocessed and organic and that they do not contain fish oil or any hydrogenated oils.

Omega-6 versus omega-3 ratios in the body

We must look at the tissue content of our bodies to determine what oils contain the best anti-cancer EFAs. It is known from pathology studies that the brain and nervous system have a ratio of one part omega-6 to one part omega-3 (1:1). Some nutritionists suggest that this ratio is best, but they are wrong. Here's why.

Most organs contain a 4:1 omega-6 to omega-3 ratio. However, the brain, nervous system and organs comprise only about 12% of body weight. Skin is 100% parent omega-6 and contains no omega-3;35 it comprises about 4% of body weight. The muscles comprise at least 50% of total body weight and are the prime factor to account for in determining the required parent omega-6 to omega-3 ratio. A key fact about muscle structure is that muscle contains from 5.5 to 7.5 times more omega-6 than omega-3, depending on the degree of physical condition.36 We are warned about "overdosing" on omega-6 in our diets and told that we must take lots of oils containing omega-3 to compensate. We are told that we are ingesting upwards of 20 times too much omega-6. This is wrong, and there is much more to the analysis.

Scientifically, you need an organic supplement with a ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 of 1:1 up to 2.5:1. With this powerfully effective ratio, you only require a minimum amount of 3-4 grams on a daily basis. This ratio is significantly different than your physician, health practitioner or writers on popular nutritional publications will likely suggest: they simply don't know and understand the basis of it. Their analysis consists of a significant number of errors, and I hope you will review the paper "The Scientific Calculation of the Optimum Omega 6/3 Ratio" at http://www.BrianPeskin.com (click on "EFA Report") so you will understand this as well as the science behind the calculation of the ideal omega-6 to omega-3 ratio.

Today, people automatically think of fish oil or flax oil as the anti-cancer solution. Following these incorrect recommendations is a significant factor in why America's cancer rates continue to skyrocket in spite of millions of people taking these oils. Fish oil, with an overdose of omega-3 series derivatives, can actually be cancer-causing-the opposite of what we desire--and flax oil contains far too much parent omega-3.

Most parent omegas do not get converted to derivatives; they remain in the cell membranes and tissues in original parent form. Few scientists understand this and few medical texts explain it.37 Furthermore, commercial food processing destroys a significant amount of these EFAs, along with their oxygenating ability.

EFA-containing foods in the diet

Here's a representative listing of categories of foods containing these essential oils. It is imperative to understand that these foods must be grown organically and, if necessary, processed with low heat and no artificial preservatives-otherwise the EFAs will be ruined, like the trans-fat, hydrogenated, cancer-causing oils you've heard about. Compare your diet and these EFA-containing foods. Are you getting enough of them?

Dairy/eggs/cheese: "Raw milk" cheeses and organic eggs are excellent sources of EFAs. Pasteurised (heated) milk is deficient in EFAs and is detrimental to infants.

Meats: Organically raised and processed chicken, beef (grass-fed is best38), lamb, pork, etc. are rich sources of EFAs. Animal-based protein is also important for obtaining anti-cancer vitamins and minerals and for producing strong haemoglobin which enables oxygen transportation.

Nuts: Organic, unprocessed raw almonds, walnuts, peanuts, cashews, etc.

Seafood: Shrimp (prawns), fish, lobster, crab, clams, oysters, etc. It is important to understand that consuming lots of seafood is not the anti-cancer answer. Seafood is overly abundant in both parent and derivative omega-3 EFAs. Fish, especially farmed fish, contains mostly omega-3 derivatives; farmed fish and oil from farmed fish are to be avoided.

Seeds: Organic sunflower, sesame, flax, pumpkin, etc.

The following foods do not contain usable EFAs for humans:

Fruits and vegetables: Animals with multiple stomachs can extract EFAs out of plant-based cellulose like grass, but humans, with only one stomach, cannot. Even if we could extract the EFAs, we could never eat the volume required to get enough.

Grains/cereals: Humans cannot extract the EFAs from them.

The miracle of EFA "oxygen magnets"

Think of these polyunsaturated EFAs as "oxygen magnets". The proof of this fact is buried in the world's leading medical textbooks and medical journals such as Harper's Illustrated Biochemistry, 26th edition,40 and Human Nutrition Clinical Nutrition, July 1984.41

EFAs are integral to the structure and function of cellular respiration. Without high respiration efficiency, cancer is soon to follow. These EFA oxygen magnets in the cell membrane attract the oxygen that's in the bloodstream and transfer it into the cell, just like little oxygen sponges. This process is supposed to be happening in each of the body's 100 trillion cells.

So, no matter how much you breathe or exercise, if you don't have the proper functional EFAs at the cellular level then your cells will not absorb enough oxygen from your bloodstream and you will be that much more susceptible to cancer. Remember that the cancer "threshold" is a 35% decrease in cellular oxygen.

Without a continuing new supply of these EFAs from food, cellular oxygen transfer is significantly reduced. Imagine what would happen if you had 100 trillion cells that were all deficient in a vital substance they required to be able to absorb oxygen.

Here's an example showing how these essential fats absorb oxygen. At the supermarket, fish goes bad in only a few days because the oil in the fish is highly oxygen-absorbing-it reacts rapidly with the oxygen in the air. Fish spoils rapidly because the EFA-containing oil has the capacity to absorb lots of oxygen. This chemical process is called oxidation. This is also true with other types of essential fats. They do their job of absorbing oxygen, but because of it they have a limited life. They simply won't work after a short period. EFAs become "spent", i.e., rancid. That's why they need to be replaced every day from our food-Nature designed us this way.

There are many ways to add additional oxygen to the bloodstream, such as by exercising, drinking "oxygenated" water or breathing purer air. However, these partial solutions are insufficient for maximum anti-cancer protection. When the EFA deficiency is solved, every organ becomes its own "oxygen magnet", just as Nature intended.

Breast cancer and oxygen deficiency

Breast cancer is the number-one cancer plague to women worldwide. The growing incidence of breast cancer can be explained for the first time in light of Dr Warburg's discovery about lack of oxygen to the cells.

The breasts consist of an exceptionally high amount of fatty tissue. A typical cell membrane in muscle tissue is half-fat and contains about one-third EFAs (oxygen transferors). However, fatty tissue like the breast contains areas of 80-95% fat concentration. These fatty components of breast tissue require and should have high EFA concentrations, but because of modern food processing they don't. Because important organs such as the brain, heart, lungs and kidneys require EFAs on a priority basis, there may not be enough left over to ensure that breast tissue receives an adequate amount of EFAs.

Therefore, oxygen deficiency in the breast tissue will be very significant.

Given this premise, we can deduce that breast tissue should and would be the number-one expected cancer site in women worldwide, and it is. This conclusion makes so much sense in explaining the massive rise in breast cancer rates. Harvard's Dr W. C. Willett gives us the proof. In a study on the intake of parent omega-6 involving over 80,000 nurses, it was shown that the group with the lowest intake of linoleic acid (parent omega-6) exhibited the highest incidence of breast cancer (NEJM 1987; 316(1):22-28).42

Has your ob-gyn told you that you need this miraculous anti-cancer nutrient? I doubt it; he or she probably doesn't know.

Fish oil won't stop heart disease

Surprisingly, it was known back in 1979 that diet influenced EFA composition of the cell membrane; this finding was published in Cancer Research (1979; 39:1726-32).43 In 1990, a masterpiece of research conducted by William E. Lands found that the amount of critical parent omega-6 in the tissues was dependent on diet (Lipids 1990; 25(9):505-16).44

To gain the best in scientific research, in 2002 I attended the world's 1st Essential Fatty Acids and Human Nutrition and Health International Conference in Shanghai, China.

There I discovered a shocking and unexpected discovery that fish oil lowers immunity. I nearly fell out of my chair! Overdosing on fish oil supplements can significantly decrease the effectiveness of your immune system, increasing your risk of contracting cancer. The International Society for the Study of Fatty Acids and Lipids (ISSFAL) June 2000 Congress in Tsukuba, Japan,45 had reported this startling fact, as noted earlier.

And don't think that fish oil prevents heart disease. It doesn't. Cardiovascular Research (2002; 54:183-190) reported on a study where both the fish oil group and the control group showed close to equal atherosclerotic progression (arteries getting more clogged in spite of taking fish oil supplements). Nor did fish oil stop thickening of the artery. On the contrary, the artery wall got thicker (worsened) with fish oil ingestion! A mere 1.65 grams per day of fish oil supplement was taken-a great enough dose to cause adverse immunity and excessive internal bleeding, too.46

These results showing the failure of fish oil were published in 2002. Did this stop "experts" in the nutritional and medical fields and even in our governments from declaring how great fish oil supplements are? No!

Harvard Medical School was involved in a study, published in 1995, titled "Controlled Trial of Fish Oil for Regression of Human Coronary Atherosclerosis" (Am Coll Cardiol 1995; 25(7):1492-8).47

The daily dose was six grams of fish oil versus six grams of olive oil in the control group. Their conclusion? "Fish oil treatment for two years does not promote major favorable changes in the diameter of atherosclerotic coronary arteries" (author's emphasis). This means that arterial clogging was not decreased with the fish oil supplements.

Omega-6 derivative AA prevents blood clotting

Dr Warburg understood that slow blood speed allowed cancer to metastasise. Later, other researchers showed that if you can keep a localised cancer from metastasising, your risk of dying from cancer decreases by an amazing tenfold! Even though you may have cancer, you won't die from it. Blood speed and viscosity have a connection to the spread of cancer. This is a surprising, seldom-mentioned fact that was pointed out by world-renowned molecular biologist Robert Weinberg.49

What causes metastasis? Blood clots, and this is known, too.50 What prevents blood from "sticking together" and is also Nature's natural blood-thinner that prevents blood clots? No, it's not omega-3, like you are constantly told. Parent omega-6 is much more powerful. Arachidonic acid (AA) is a critical omega-6 derivative and major biochemical component which occurs in virtually every cell we have. It is the building block of the most potent anti-aggregatory ("helps blood thinning") agent known, termed prostacyclin. AA also inhibits platelet adhesion, making it a natural "blood thinner". AA even helps solve vascular problems as a response to injury.51

Heart attack victims often have depleted EFA levels, especially the EFA derivatives AA from parent omega-6 and EPA from parent omega-3.56 We need some parent omega-3 because EPA is one of its important derivatives. The problem is that fish oil supplements overdose us with far too much.

What's really clogging the arteries

Contrary to what we have heard for decades, it is not the saturated fat that clogs the arteries and impedes blood flow: it's the adulterated parent omega-6.

A groundbreaking Lancet article (1994; 344:1195-96) reported investigating the components of arterial plaques. Felton et al. measured the individual components, and in an aortic artery clog they found over 10 different compounds but no saturated fat.57 There was some cholesterol in the clog. This is explained by the fact that cholesterol acts as a protective healer for arterial cuts and bruises, just like a scab forms over external cuts.

What is the predominant component of a clog? You probably guessed it: the adulterated omega-6 polyunsaturated oils-those that start out containing properly functioning EFAs but get ruined during commercial food processing. Many similar analyses of arterial clogs showing the same result have been carried out and published in the medical journals, but it would seem that few physicians have seen them.58 The average person has little, if any, chance of ever discovering the truth.

So, it is not cholesterol itself that clogs the arteries. If you have a deficiency of EFAs, cholesterol acts as a "poison delivery system". EFAs are cholesterol's major component. As the medical textbook Molecular Biology of the Cell makes clear (p. 481), cholesterol is necessary for the structural integrity of the lipid bi-layer, the matrix in each of our 100 trillion cell membranes. JAMA (1994; 272:1335-40) published an article stating that cholesterol-lowering drugs do not work significantly to prevent heart disease. The reason? They can't lower the amount of defective parent omega-6 enough.

As stated in Current Atherosclerosis Reports (2004; 6:477-84), this is why cholesterol drugs can't do the job:59 "LDL contains up to 80% lipids [fats and oils], including polyunsaturated fatty acids and cholesterol, mainly esters. Linoleic acid (LA), one of the most abundant fatty acids in LDLÉ"

With this information, we see that it is what the cholesterol is transporting-the adulterated EFAs-that is the problem. An article in Human Nutrition: Clinical Nutrition (1984; 38C:245-260) further verifies that it is parent omega-6 that makes up most of the fatty acids in LDL and HDL cholesterol.60

Don't let anyone ever tell you that natural fats are "bad". One hundred trillion cells need lots of EFA-containing natural fats; in particular, lots of parent omega-6.

If just a little of this parent omega-6 is defective, reducing its ability to absorb oxygen and perform other cellular functions, it acts as a direct cause of cancer as well as heart disease. °

THE BUDWIG FLAX OIL DIET

The Flaxseed (Linseed) oil diet was originally proposed by Dr. Johanna Budwig, a german biochemist and expert on fats and oils, in 1951 and recently re-examined by Dr. Dan C. Roehm M.D. FACP (Oncologist and former cardiologist) in 1990. Dr. Roehm claims: "this diet is far and away the most successful anti-cancer diet in the world".

Budwig claims that the diet is both a preventative and a curative. She says the absence of linol-acids [in the average western diet] is responsible for the production of oxydase, which induces cancer growth and is the cause of many other chronic disorders.

The beneficial oxydase ferments are destroyed by heating or boiling oils in foods, and by nitrates used for preserving meat, etc.

The theory is: the use of oxygen in the organism can be stimulated by protein compounds of sulphuric content, which make oils water-soluble and which is present in cheese, nuts, onion and leek vegetables such as leek, chive, onion and garlic, but especially cottage cheese.

Ferments of cell respiration closely connected with the highly unsaturated fatty acids, are also needed for proper oxydation. It is essential to use only unrefined, cold-pressed oils with high linolic acid content, such as linseed, sunflower, soya, poppyseed, walnut, and corn oils. Such oil should be consumed together with foods containing the right proteins otherwise the oils will have the OPPOSITE EFFECT, causing more harm than good.

The best combination is cottage cheese and linseed oil. The linseed should be freshly ground. Carbohydrates containing natural sugar, such as dates, figs, pears, apples and grapes, are also included in the diet. Honey is also beneficial. Most of the synthetic vitamin A preparations are bad because they contain oxidation products, but much carotine as provitamin A (from carrot) is consumed. Vitamin B from buttermilk, yoghurt, and natural yeast is beneficial.

A person requires daily about 4 oz. of cottage cheese mixed well with 1.5 oz. of linseed oil and 1 oz. of milk. A blender or egg beater works fine. The mixture an be sweeten with honey or otherwise flavoured naturally. Fresh fruits can be added. Every morning 2 spoonfuls of freshly ground linseed oil should be taken in luke warm buttermilk or yoghurt.

The diet is indicated for all kinds of chronic diseases, especially heart ailments (corony thrombosis), gall disorders, diabetes, arthritis, and malignancies. It improves failing hearing and sight. It is the ideal nutrient for children and infants. It is suggested that this diet be supplemented with lactic acid ferments (4).

"What she (Dr. Johanna Budwig) has demonstrated to my initial disbelief but lately, to my complete satisfaction in my practice is: CANCER IS EASILY CURABLE, the treatment is dietary/lifestyle, the response is immediate; the cancer cell is weak and vulnerable; the precise biochemical breakdown point was identified by her in 1951 and is specifically correctable, in vitro (test-tube) as well as in vivo (real)... " (Roehm, "Townsend Letter for Doctors", July 1990)

GENERAL RULES

The patient has no nourishment on day ..1 other than 250 ml (8.5 oz) of Flax Oil with honey plus freshly squeezed fruit juices (no sugar added!). In the case of a very ill person, champagne may be added on the first day in place of juice and is taken with the Flax Oil and honey. Champagne is easily absorbable and has a serious purpose here.

1) SUGAR IS ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN. Grape juice may be added to sweeten any other freshly squeezed juices.

2) Other 'forbiddens' are:

- All animal fats.

- All Salad Oils (this included commercial mayonnaise)

- All Meats (chemicals %26amp; hormones)

- Butter

- Margarine

- Preserved Meats (the preservatives block metabolism even of Flax Oil)

3) Freshly squeezed vegetable juices are fine - carrot, celery, apple, and red beet.

4) Three times daily a warm tea is essential - peppermint, rose hips or grape tea - all sweetened as desired with honey. One cup of black tea before noon is fine.

DAILY PLAN

Before breakfast - a glass of Acidophilus milk or Sauerkraut juice is taken.

Breakfast - Muesli (regular cereal) is overlaid with 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of Flax Oil and honey and fresh fruit according to season - berries, cherries, apricots, peaches, grated apple. Vary the flavour from day to day. Use any nuts except peanuts! Herbal teas as desired or black tea. A 4 oz (120 g) serving of THE SPREAD (directions below). This is fine to eat 'straight' like a custard, or add it to other foods taken in the day as you will see.

Morning tea (10am) - A glass of fresh carrot juice, apple, celery, or beet-apple juice is taken.

Lunch - Raw salad with yoghurt-Flax Oil Mayonnaise (directions below).

In addition to 'greens' salads, use grated turnips, carrots, kohlrabi, radishes, sauerkraut or cauliflower. A fine powder of horseradish, chives or parsley may be added for flavour.

Cooked Meal Course - Steamed vegetables, potatoes, or such grains as rice, buck-wheat or millet may be served. to these add either THE SPREAD or THE MAYO - for flavour and to up your intake of Flax Oil. Also mix THE SPREAD with potatoes for an especially hearty meal. Add caraway, chives, parsley or other herbs.

Dessert - Mix fresh fruit other than those used for breakfast with THE SPREAD, this time (instead of honey), flavoured using cream of lemon, vanilla or berries.

Afternoon Tea (4pm) - A small glass of natural wine (no preservatives) or champagne or fresh fruit juice with 1-2 tablespoons of honey-coated Fax Seeds.

Supper - Have this early, at 6pm. Make a hot meal using buckwheat, oat or soy cakes. grits from buckwheat are the very best and can be placed in a vegetable soup, or in a more solid form of cakes with herbal sauce. Sweet sauces %26amp; soups can always be given far more healing energy by adding THE SPREAD. Only honey or grape juice can be used for sweeteners. NO white sugar (or brown!) Only freshly squeezed juices and NOT reconstituted juices (preservative danger) may be used. These must be completely natural.

How to prepare 'THE SPREAD'

Place 250 ml (8.5 oz) Flax Oil into a mixer bowl and add one pound (450 g) of 1 ottage Cheese (ie low fat eg Quark) and add 4 tablespoons (60 ml) of Honey. Turn on the mixer and add just enough low fat milk or water to get the contents of the bowl to blend in together. In 5 minutes, a preparation of custard consistency results that has NO taste of the oil (and no oily 'ring' should be seen when you rinse out the bowl).

Alternatively, you can use Yoghurt instead of Cottage Cheese in proportions of 1 oz (30 g) of Yoghurt to 1 tablespoon (15 ml) each of Flax Oil and of honey and blend as above.

NOTE: When Flax Oil is blended like this, it does not cause diarrhoea even when given in large amounts. It reacts chemically with the (sulphur) proteins of the cottage cheese, yoghurt, etc.

How to prepare 'THE MAYO' (Mayonnaise):

Mix together 2 tablespoons (30 ml) Flax Oil, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) milk, and 2 tablespoons (30 ml) Yoghurt.

Then add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of Lemon juice (or Apple Cider Vinegar) and add 1 teaspoon (2.5g) Mustard plus some herbs such as marjoram or dill.

Next add 2 or 3 slices of health food store pickles (no preservatives! - read label!) and a pinch of herbal salts.

(The above mayonnaise plus lots of mustard and a few bananas is very tasty!)

Concluding remarks by Dr. Roehm - "I only wish that all my patients had a PhD in Biochemistry and Quantum Physics to enable them to see how with such consummate skill this diet was put together. It is a wonder. The champagne vehicle IS easier to assimilate and get someone almost on their death-bed going again. A retention enema of 250 ml (8.5 oz) of oil is another route to get this precious life-furthering, ELECTRON-RICH oil into the body. It can also be applied to the skin for transdermal

absorption. I'll answer your questions and give you "special orders" for you particular case.

You will have to remain on this diet for a good 5 years, at which time your tumour may have disappeared. Persons who break the rules of this diet, Dr Budwig reports, (ie eating preserved meats, candy, etc) will sometimes grow rapidly worse and cannot be saved after they come back from their spree (bon-bons mean bye-bye).

In 1967, Dr Budwig broadcast the following sentence during an interview over the South German Radio Network, describing her incoming patients with failed operations and x-ray therapy":

"Even in these cases it is possible to restore health in a few months at most, I would truly say 90f the time".

"This has never been contradicted, but this knowledge has been a long time reaching this side of the ocean, hasn't it? Cancer treatment can be very simple and very successful once you know how. The cancer interests dont want you to know this.

May those of you who have suffered from this disease (and I include your family and friends in this) forgive the miscreants who have kept this simple information from reaching you for so long".

(signed) Dan C. Roehm, M.D. FACP

--------------------------------------...

"The best, purest, most carefully prepared Flax Oil in America is, in my opinion", said Roehm, "is Omegaflo. Arrowhead mills label is most often seen in Florida (USA). Look for the Omegaflo".

"FLAX (LINSEED) OIL is readily denatured by oxygen, heat, and light. That's why it is used in paint. Rancid oil is bad for health, so oil MUST be carefully produced, packed under nitrogen in light-proof

containers, refrigerated until used, used as fresh as possible, and stabilised with protein (THE SPREAD, etc) promptly once the container is opened..."

Flax Seeds may also be used. Seeds need only be cracked in a food blender, or they may be ground in a coffee grinder. One needs three times the amount of seed to get the oil equivalent. Seeds are high in calories, so one may gain weight. The seeds are also high in soluble fibre, so blending with liquid tends to produce ever-hardening "jellies". Fresh-cracked seed sprinkled on muesli %26amp; eaten promptly

tastes great.

-------

Ed McCabe (p85, "Oxygen Therapies") discusses his point of view on

essential fatty acids:

"The red blood cells in the lungs give up carbon dioxide and take on oxygen. They are then transported to the cell site via the blood vessels, where, they release their oxygen into the plasma. This released oxygen is "attracted" to the cells by the "resonance" of the pi-electron" oxidation-enhancing fatty acids. Otherwise, oxygen cannot work its way into the cell. "Electron rich fatty acids" play the decisive role in "respiratory enzymes, which are the basis of cell oxidation...".

"Dont eat anything hydrogenated like (like margarine, or fried foods) as it defeats oxygenation. Avoid products that say "hydrogenated".

"We should eat essential polyunsaturated fatty acids to enhance oxygenation. They can be found naturally in Carotene, Saffron, and Flaxseed oil."

Who is Dr. Johanna Budwig?

Dr. Johanna Budwig is known and highly respected around the world as Germany's premier biochemist. In addition, Dr. Budwig holds a Ph.D. in Natural Science, has undergone medical training, and was schooled in pharmaceutical science, physics, botany and biology. In all courses, this brilliant scientist excelled.

She is best known for her extensive research on the properties and benefits of flaxseed oil combined with sulphurated proteins in the diet, and over the years has published a number of books on the subject, including "Cancer--A Fat Problem," "The Death of the Tumor," and "True Health Against Arteriosclerosis, Heart Infarction %26amp; Cancer."

Dr. Budwig has assisted many seriously ill individuals, even those given up as terminal by orthodox medical practitioners, to regain their health through a simple regimen of nutrition. The basis of Dr. Budwig's program is the use of flaxseed oil blended with low-fat cottage cheese.

In the mid 1950's, Dr. Budwig began her long and meticulous research on the importance of essential fatty acids (linoleic and linolenic) in the diet. Her subsequent discoveries and announcements sparked mixed reactions. While the general public was eager for this astounding information, German manufacturers of commercial dietary fats (margarine, hard shortening, vegetable oils) went to extremes to prevent her from publishing her findings. Fortunately, while Dr. Budwig's vital announcements were initially met with resistance backed by those with financial stakes in the commercial fats industry, her persistence paid off. Today, Dr. Johanna Budwig is world renowned for her important discoveries on the benefits of flaxseed oil. Her fame precedes her as she lectures all over Europe.

Fats-Good and Bad

Dr. Johanna preaches against the use of what she calls "pseudo" fats. In order to extend the shelf life of their products, manufacturers use chemical processes that render their food products harmful to the body. These harmful fats go by a number of names, including "hydrogenated," "partially hydrogenated" and even "polyunsaturated."

The chemical processing of fats destroys the vital electron cloud within the fat. Once the electrons have been removed, these fats can no longer bind with oxygen, and they actually become a harmful substance deposited within the body. The heart, for instance, rejects these fats and they end up as inorganic fatty deposits on the heart muscle itself.

Chemically processed fats are not water-soluble when bound to protein. They end up blocking circulation, damage heart action, inhibit cell renewal and impede the free flow of blood and lymph fluids. The bio-electrical action in these areas slows down and may become completely paralyzed. The entire organism shows a measurable loss of electrical energy which is replenished only by adding active lipids to the diet. These nutritional fats are truly vital for man and beast alike.

Science has proven that fats play an important role in the functioning of the entire body. Fats (lipids) are vital for all growth processing, renewal of cells, brain and nerve functions, even for the sensory organs (eyes and ears), and for the body's adjustment to heat, cold and quick temperature changes. Our energy resources are based on lipid metabolism. To function efficiently, cells require true polyunsaturated, live electron-rich lipids, present in abundance in raw flaxseed oil. True polyunsaturated fats greedily absorb proteins and oxygen and pump them through the system.

Lipids are only water-soluble and free-flowing when bound to protein; thus the importance of protein-rich cottage cheese. When high quality, electron-rich fats are combined with proteins, the electrons are protected until the body requires energy. This energy source is then fully and immediately available to the body on demand, as nature intended.

Proven Benefits Still Pouring In

Since Dr. Johanna Budwig's findings on the benefits of flaxseed oil have been widely publicized, scientists around the world have eagerly jumped on the bandwagon. Studies conducted using flaxseed oil on numerous disorders have been pouring in from all over the world, showing impressive results, including anti-tumor activity, increased metabolism, greatly boosted immune system, reduced cholesterol levels, normalized blood pressure levels and inhibition of cancer cell growth. Books research reports, articles and testimonials abound, all touting the healthy benefits achieved by supplementing the diet with organic, raw, cold-pressed flaxseed oil with low-fat cottage cheese. Dr. Budwig's research was based on using the ratio of 2 tablespoons flaxseed oil mixed with one-quarter cup of low fat cottage cheese.

Backed with all this extensive research, the indisputable fact is: Supplementing your diet daily with flaxseed oil combined with sulphurated proteins could very well be the most important thing you do for yourself every day.

--------------------------------------...

A top European cancer research scientist, Dr Johanna Budwig, has

discovered a totally natural formula that not only protects against the

development of cancer but people all over the world who have been diagnosed

with incurable cancer and sent home to die have actually been cured and now

lead normal healthy lives.

After three decades of research Dr. Budwig, sixtime nominee for the Nobel

Award, found that the blood of seriously ill cancer patients was always,

without exception, deficient in certain important essential ingredients

which included substances called phosphatides and lipoproteins. (The blood

of a healthy person always contains sufficient quantities of these essential

ingredients. However, without these natural ingredients cancer cells grow

wild and out of control.)

Blood analysis showed a strange greenish-yellow substance in place of the

healthy red oxygen carrying hemoglobin that belongs there. This explained

why cancer patients weaken and become anemic This startling discovery led

Dr. Budwig to test her theory.

She found that when these natural ingredients where replaced over

approximately a three month period, tumors gradually receded. The strange

greenish elements in the blood were replaced with healthy red blood cells as

the phosphatides and lipoproteins almost miraculously reappeared. Weakness

and anemia disappeared and life energy was restored. Symptoms of cancer,

liver dysfunction and diabetes were completely alleviated.

Dr. Budwig then discovered an all natural way for people to replace those

essential ingredients their bodies so desperately needed in their daily

diet. By simply eating a combination of just two natural and delicious

foods not only can cancer be prevented but in case after case it was

actually cured. (These two natural foods, organic flax seed oil %26amp; cottage

cheese) must be eaten together to be effective since one triggers the

properties of the other to be released.)

After more than 10 years of solid clinical application, Dr. Budwig's natural

formula has proven successful where many orthodox remedies have failed. Dr.

Budwig's formula has been used therapeutically in Europe for prevention of:

Cancer! Arteriosclerosis, Strokes, Cardiac Infarction, Heartbeat

(irregular), Liver (fatty degeneration), Lungs (reduces bronchial

spasms), Intestines (regulates activity). Stomach Ulcers (normalizes

gastric juices), Prostate (hypertopic), Arthritis (exerts a favorable

influence), Eczema (assists all skin diseases), Old age (improves many

common afflictions), Brain (strenghthens activity), Immune Deficiency

Syndromes (multiple sclerosis, autoimmune illnesses)

Thousands have flocked to hear Dr. Budwig lecture all over Europe. The many

people Dr. Budwig's formula has helped testify to the benefits of her

remarkable discovery. Following are a few examples: In one of my interviews

with Dr. Budwig I was introduced to Siegried Ernst, M.D.. He is a rare and

dedicated man who counts among his personal friends the current Pope as well

as many other dignitaries.

--------------------------------------...

Testimonials :

Dr. Ernst

Seventeen years ago Dr. Ernst had developed cancer for which he had

major surgery requiring removal of his stomach. Two years later he had a

recurrence of the cancer and was offered chemotherapy as the only available

remedy. There was little hope for survival as virtually all individuals with

recurrence of this type of cancer rarely last a year.

Dr. Ernst knew that chemotherapy was not only ineffective for his type of

cancer but completaly destructive of the quality of life, so he refused.

He turned to Dr. Budwig and her formula for help. He religiously followed

Dr. Budwig's formula and fifteen years later has not had any recurrence of

cancer. As a matter of fact he seemed to me to be in perfect health and is

tireless for a man in his late seventies.

--------------------------------------...

Maria W.

Maria W. tells her story in her own words: "I was told by the most expert of

doctors that I would have to be operated on to cut out the cancerous tumor

that was causing a swelling under my eye. They explained that the size of

the tumor was much greater inside and that there was very serious bone

involvement. The malignancy was too far advanced to respond to radiation

treatment. The doctors planned to remove considerable facial tissue and

bone. I was afraid for my life, but being a young woman, couldn't bear the

thought of such disfigurement.

When I heard about Dr. Budwig's natural formula, I was skeptical but

desperate for help. After four months on this regimen, the swelling under my

left eye completely disappeared. The doctors at the University hospital gave

me many exhausting tests. One told me, 'If I didn't have your previous

x-rays and medical history in front of me, I wouldn't believe that you ever

had cancer. There is hardly any indication of a tumor remaining.' I never

thought using Dr, Budwig's formula would be so successful. My whole family

and I are very grateful."

An examination of Sandy A. revealed arachnoidal bleeding due to an

inoperable brain tumor. The doctors informed Sandy that he was beyond

medical help. At his expressed wish, Sandy was discharged from the

hospital and sent home to die in peace.

A friend brought Dr. Budwigs formula to Sandys attention. Sandy writes.

Since I went on the Budwig regimen, the paralysis is of my eyes, arms, and

legs has receded daily. After only a short period of time, I was able to

urinate normally. My health improved so rapidly that I was soon able to

return to my work part-time. Shortly after that, I was again examined at the

Research Center and my reflexes were completely normal. The Budwig diet

saved my life! Ten years later, I was given a thorough examination at the

Center as a follow-up. My incredible recovery has been written up In many

medical journals and I have become what they call a 'textbook case,' and

all because of Dr. Johanna Budwig's simple diet."

Timmy G.

Seven years ago Timmy G. was diagnosed as having Hodgkins disease. The child

was operated on and underwent 24 radiation treatments, plus additional

experimental therapies that the experts hoped would be of some small help.

When Timmy failed to respond favorably to these heroic measures, he was

discharged as incurable, and given six months to live and sent home to die.

The desperate parents contacted specialists all over the world. A famous

newspaper took up Timmy's cause and ran editorials pleading for someone to

come forth who could offer hope for the life of a child. All the specialists

who replied confirmed the cruel prognosis: There was no hope or help for

Timmy.

At this dark hour the miracle the family had prayed for happened!

Timmy's mother told her story to the press: "A friend sent me a printed piece about one of Dr. Budwig's speeches. This material gave us hope and I contacted Dr. Budwig.

In just five days, (on the Budwig regimen) Timmy's breathing became normal

for the first lime In almost two years.

From this day on, Timmy began to feel good again. He went back to school, started swimming and by winter he was doing craft work. Everyone who knows him says how well he looks." At age 18 Timmy is showing great promise in his university work. He knows he owes his life to Dr. Budwig and thanks her daily in his prayers.

One of the two foods in on Budwig's formula, cottage cheese, is available

in nearly every grocery store in America. The other, pure organic linseed

oil, however comes primarily from Europe and can only be found in certain

health food stores throughout the United States.

By simply mixing these two delicious foods together and eating them you will

be providing yourself and your family with the optimal preventive

nutritional protection against cancer and other disease.

The Hidden Story of Cancer

(Pinnacle Press, Houston, USA, 2006)

--------------------------------------...

The prime cause of cancer is not genetic

Cancer was once an uncommon disease affecting a small percentage of Americans. In 1900, only 3% of the population died of cancer.2 But now, cancer has become so common that virtually everyone knows someone afflicted with this terrible disease. In fact, for the average American, contraction of cancer isn't the exception; instead, it has become the rule.3 We've come to accept cancer as unstoppable, incurable and even a natural part of life. This perception is a tragedy, since cancer is not a natural disease for man and is preventable.

What is shocking to most people, is the scientific fact that cancer is genetically recessive, not dominant. In fact, the human body is highly resistant to cancer. In 1969, Professor Henry Harris of Oxford University shook the cancer research community to its core when he proved these previous theories wrong. Professor Harris took normal tissue cells and fused three types of cancer cells to them. Surely, he thought, the cancer cells would take over the normal cells and "convert" them into cancer. Surprisingly, they grew normally.4

Contrary to popular opinion, cancer takes several decades to develop in humans.5 Given this long incubation period, science can show us the way to destroy any initial pre-cancerous cells and keep the cancerous ones from causing widespread damage.

If you think cancer has a genetic basis, then think again. Dr Robert A. Weinberg of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), one of the world's leading cancer researchers and discoverer of the so-called oncogene (cancer-causing gene), reversed his previous conclusions after discovering that "fewer than one DNA base in a million appears to have been miscopied". It's not enough of a defect! His exact words: "Something was very wrong. The notion that a cancer developed through the successive activation of a series of oncogenes had lost its link to reality." He called the genetic discoveries made thus far "sterile".6 The prime cause of cancer is therefore not genetic. This was announced in 1998. Did you hear about it? Probably not.

In 2006, the heads of the world's largest cancer research centre in Houston, Texas, announced that cancer's prime cause isn't genetic: "'If it could have happened [solving cancer with genetics], it would have already happened with genetic mutations,' said William Brinkley, a senior vice-president at Baylor who says other research should take precedence over the cancer genome projectÉ Dr John Mendelsohn [president of M. D. Anderson Cancer Center] states, 'Any claims that this [genetic research] is going to be the key to curing cancer are not appropriate.'"7

Thus, the prime cause of cancer is not a genetic mutation. Even if cancer "runs in your family", there is real hope. Unfortunately, the geneticists have it backwards, attempting to force the facts to fit their genetics-based theories when they don't fit the facts, because, as Professor Harris demonstrated many years ago, cancer isn't genetically dominant. Where does this leave us? Where can we look for solutions? What about the popular nutritional solutions to fighting cancer?

The popular anti-cancer "solutions" don't work

Most people diligently follow the experts' recommendations in the hope of winning the war on cancer. Unfortunately, virtually nothing of what we are told is based on scientific facts. Consider the following list of supposed "solutions", along with the date of their published failures as reported in the world's leading medical journals. Many of us never hear of the retractions and consequently keep following methods that don't protect us from contracting cancer.

(a) Fruits and vegetables: Even the green leafy vegetables don't protect against contracting breast cancer (JAMA 2001; 285:769-776).8

(b) Fibre: This worsens colon cancer rather than helping prevent it (Lancet 2000; 356:1286-7).9

(c) Mammography: Samuel S. Epstein, MD (chairman of the Cancer Prevention Coalition), Rosalie Bertell and Barbara Seaman published an article exposing truths about mammography that most women have never been told (Int J Health Sci 2001; 31(3):605-15): "Contrary to popular belief and assurances by the US media...mammography is not a technique for early diagnosis. In fact, a breast cancer has usually been present for about eight (8) years before it can finally be detected..."10

(d) Fish oil: Most fish oil supplements are worthless in preventing cancer and may be hazardous to your health (articles: 1995Ð2006). The International Society for the Study of Fatty Acids and Lipids (ISSFAL) 4th Congress, which met on 4Ð9 June 2000 in Tsukuba, Japan, reported the following:11

"...[S]tudies indicate that at the levels used, fish oil [comprised of omega-3 derivatives] decreases a wide range of immune cell responses (natural killer cell, cytotoxic T lymphocyte activities, lymphocyte proliferation and production of IL-2 and IFN-y (1,2))..."

"...Recent studies have indicated that relatively low levels of the long chain omega-3 fatty acids (EPA or DHA)...are sufficient to bring about some of the suppressive effects..."

"...This decrease (of inhibited lymphocyte proliferation and natural killer cell activity) causes increased cellular bacteria [infection] and impaired tumor cell killing."

Any substance causing impaired tumour cell killing ability is cancer-causingÑthe opposite of what we desire. With so many of us consuming fish oil, could this be another reason that cancer contraction rates are increasing instead of decreasing?

Fish oil is also worthless in preventing heart disease, and Harvard Medical School warned us about this years ago but too few Americans listened.12 Consuming whole fish instead of fish oil failed, too.13

The Japanese have greater cancer rates and greater heart disease rates than Americans. Cancer has been Japan's number-one cause of death since 1981.14 The popular media don't often disclose these startling facts.

In January 2006, the omega-3 anti-cancer fallacy was exposed (JAMA 2006; 295(4)): "A large body of literature spanning numerous cohorts from many countries and with different demographic characteristics does not provide evidence to suggest a significant association between omega-3 fatty acids and [lack of] cancer incidence. Dietary supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids [is] unlikely to prevent cancer."15

The most comprehensive analysis to date, published in the British Medical Journal of 24 March 2006, reviewing 96 trials including 44 trials with supplements and five trials consisting of mainly ALA (parent omega-3) from plants like flax with the remainder being fish oil, confirms the anti-cancer failure: "We found no evidence that omega-3 fats had an effect on the incidence of cancer and there was no inconsistency... This systematic review assessed the health effects of using omega-3 fats (together or separately) on total mortality, cardiovascular events, cancer and strokes in a wide variety of participants and found no evidence of a clear benefit of omega-3 fats on health."16

Unfortunately, in spite of these facts, most physicians around the world still recommend fish oil to prevent both cancer and heart disease.

(e) Soy: Soy products won't protect you against contracting cancer, either. The properties of soy are still touted by nutritionists, physicians and popular health and beauty publications, all ignorant of the scientific facts. There is a very hazardous side to soy that you need to know about. For example, the article "Soybean Goiter: Report of Three Cases" (NEJM 1960; 262(22):1099-1103) details three cases of infants developing goitre when they were consuming soybean "formula". The condition was rapidly eliminated in two of the infants when the soy "formula" was terminated. The third child was cured when iodine was added to the diet.17

What did soy formula have to do with thyroid (goitre) problems? Soybeans are a source of isoflavonoids, including genistein and daidzein. Contrary to popular belief and what is often reported in the media, they are both hazardous to your health. The following comes from Biochemical Pharmacology 1997; 54:1087-96): "Soybeans contain compounds (genistein and daidzein-the 'active ingredients') that inhibit [interfere with] thyroid peroxidase (TPO) which is essential to thyroid hormone synthesis [production]." Soybeans are not good for the thyroid! The popular so-called phyto-oestrogens genistein and daidzein are actually endocrine disruptors. Women around the world have been misled. What does soy "formula" have to do with the iodine deficiency? Soy contains phytates which "magnetise out" essential nutrients like iodine.

Today, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Department of Health and Human Services, lists 288 records of soy at its "FDA Poisonous Plant Database" (March 2006 revision). Their website will shock you as you discover that soy is anything but a health food (http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~djw/pltx.cgi?Q...

Soy harms your immune system, too. Back in 1975, the Canadian Journal of Biochemistry reported that soybeans actually weaken your immune system:21 "Soybean trypsin inhibitor was found to inhibit transformation of human lymphocytes..."

Here's why this happens. Trypsin is an enzyme produced by your pancreas and used in digesting protein; it is critical for antibody production. An inhibitor is something that disables. Think of it like having one foot on the gas and another on the brake of your automobile at the same time. Your car's engine would blow up.

So a trypsin inhibitor will irritate your pancreas, stressing it to produce hormones when it can't, leading to decreased oxygenation from the irritation. Soy prevents the protein you eat from being fully utilised and digested. Your immune system can't get fuelled with proper antibodies and lymphocytes--a double whammy. Therefore, soy is cancer-causing to your pancreas, and cancer of the pancreas is typically a death sentence. Because of bad advice, many women especially have decreased the amount of cancer-fighting animal-based protein they consume in favour of soy. Resist this incorrect advice and minimise your chances of contracting both thyroid and pancreatic cancer.

Dr Otto Warburg's anti-cancer research

Many of my physician colleagues were shocked to discover these truths. How many of us saw these important medical journal findings reported in the popular press? Unfortunately, not enough of us. Don't despair, because there is an anti-cancer answer. It was discovered back in 1925 by Otto Warburg, MD, PhD. Dr Warburg has been referred to as the greatest biochemist of the 20th century; the sheer number and magnitude of his discoveries qualify him as the most accomplished biochemist of all time.22

In the 1920s, Dr Warburg carried on the research on respiratory enzymes, certain vitamins and minerals that the body requires for the utilisation of oxygen in the cells, which eventually earned him the Nobel Prize in 1931. (Today, these vitamins and minerals are termed "co-enzymes".) The Nobel Committee clearly expected the medical world to benefit through Otto Warburg's vital discoveries about cancer. Unfortunately, politics intervened and cancer wasn't eradicated.

Despite his early successes and honours, Dr Warburg continued to make major fundamental discoveries throughout his later years as well, capping off an amazingly fruitful 60-year career in research. In addition, Dr Warburg often created new tools for his research. For example, he discovered how to measure the pressure of oxygen in a living cell by developing a special manometerÑa very important development that led to his discovery that low oxygen concentration and pressure always presaged the development of cancer.

The importance of Dr Warburg's achievement is that he isolated the functional prime cause of cancer. Rather than working on a theoretical level too far removed from the physiological realities of cancer to be able to provide practical therapies and preventive programs, he described the actual conditions in the cells that set up and cause cancer, and by doing this made it possible for others later to develop functional, practical ways to inhibit the development of cancer.

It is appalling that no significant principle out of his numerous discoveries has been utilised by the US medical research community for cancer prevention, treatment and remission retention. Despite the expression of opinions disputing the direction and validity of Warburg's work, no scientist or researcher has ever disproved the validity, correctness or applicability of these important discoveries to the prevention and cure of cancer. Even today, medical consensus often has little to do with science. Politics has squandered the efforts of many cancer researchers.

The prime cause of cancer

We have become so accustomed to being told that "some day" we might discover what causes cancer and that cancer is the major medical mystery of our modern time, that the following might be hard to believe.

Dr Otto Warburg discovered and clearly stated that the prime, most basic, cause of cancer is too little oxygen getting into the cell. "We find by experiment about 35% inhibition of oxygen respiration already suffices to bring about such a transformation during cell growth," he stated at a 1966 conference of Nobel laureates in Lindau, Germany.28

That's it! It sounds very simple, doesn't it? Just one-third less oxygen than normal and you contract cancer. Based on meticulous experiments that he and many others verified numerous times, Dr Warburg discovered and stated that the prime, number-one cause of cancer is simply too little oxygen getting into the cell (hypoxia).

It gets worse because once a cell becomes cancerous, it can't return to normal; it must be destroyed (Science 1956; 123(3191)).29

When I first encountered this information, I didn't believe it. Even now, there is still no one who is more shocked than I am! To my amazement, this cancer-oxygen connection information has been published numerous times in recent cancer journals, e.g., Radiotherapy and Oncology 1993; 26(1):45-50 and 1999; 53:113-17.30 However, the practical solution to solving the oxygen deficiency problem has evaded researchersÑprobably because they haven't known where to start.

Taking hydrogen peroxide, calcium supplements, fish oil supplements, massive amounts of omega-3, ozone or so-called "oxygenated water" won't solve the cellular oxygen deficiency. No one has been able to advance Dr Warburg's discovery until now.

This lack of understanding explains many of the misunderstood biochemical activities related to cancer that waste precious time and lead virtually nowhere. Only Dr Warburg's anti-cancer discovery predicts so many never-before-explained real-life results.31

Dr Warburg's discovery has been verified numerous times both in turning normal cells cancerous and in showing that cancer doesn't develop in highly oxygenated areas. Surprisingly, it was American physicians who conclusively proved it in 1953 and confirmed it in 1955! Goldblatt and Cameron noted (p. 535) (J. Experimental Medicine 1953; 97:535-552) that once damage is too great to the cell, then no amount of oxygen will return the cell's respiration back to normal: it is forever doomed to a cancerous life.

This is why prevention is the ultimate solution to never contracting cancer. However, they confirmed it is possible to prevent a "respiration-impacted" precancerous cell from becoming permanently cancerous if oxygen deficiency is stopped early enough.32

Secondary causes of cancer

Virtually every supposed cause of cancer mentioned today in the health and nutritional media is a secondary cause. Secondary causes include things such as environment, chemical carcinogens, environmental and medical radiation, trans-fats, food additives, the chemicals in tobacco smoke, viruses and even genetic mutations.

There are innumerable secondary causes of cancer, and minimising them and their harmful effects can be helpful in preventing cancer. But endlessly pursuing new secondary causes, like smoking, without explaining specifically what common effect they have on the cells, has never led, and will never lead, researchers to a real cancer cure.

Dr Warburg cautioned us again and again about wasting precious time pursuing secondary causes. Make no mistake about this: the thing every secondary cause of cancer has in common with every other one is that it leads, directly or indirectly, to insufficient oxygen in the cells. Therefore, if we directly address the question of how to get sufficient oxygen into the cells, we will have minimised the danger from every type of secondary cause.

Exercise is not the solution to remaining cancer-free

I know what many of you are likely thinking: "I exercise a lot, therefore I am oxygenating my blood. I've got cancer beat!" No. All that exercise didn't stop world champion cyclist Lance Armstrong from contracting cancer. It is true that by exercising you are increasing oxygenation to your blood. However, by doing so, you still haven't guaranteed that this oxygen will be transferred effectively to each cell in each organ in your body.

Dr Warburg made it quite clear that oxygen alone is not sufficient: "To be sure, cancer development takes place even in the presence of free oxygen gas in the atmosphere, but this oxygen may not penetrate in sufficient quantity into the growing body cells, or the respiratory apoenzymes of the growing body cells may not be saturated with the active groups."34

There are many factors that promote the lack of cellular oxygen, including certain deficiencies we will talk about shortly. Exercise, by itself, is therefore not the solution to remaining cancer free. Many people, including athletes, who exercise regularly still get cancer. Furthermore, a person breathes at least 17,000 times a day (12 breaths a minute). Do you really think that you aren't breathing in enough oxygen with 17,000 breaths a day? You are. The problem lies elsewhere.

Essential fatty acids and EFA-containing oils

The body requires special fats that, among other important functions, make it possible for sufficient oxygen to reach the cells via the cellular membranes, which are the key. These special fats are highly oxygen-absorbing. Called essential fatty acids, or EFAs, these special fats must be supplied from outside the body every day, from foods and certain oils, because your body can't manufacture them on its own. There are two "parent" forms of EFAs that allow your body to make whatever it needs from them, i.e., various types of EFA "derivatives". Parent omega-6 is termed linoleic acid (LA), and parent omega-3 is termed alpha-linolenic acid (ALA).

For tables of EFA-containing oils, shown with their percentages of parent omega-6 to parent omega-3, as well as of some EFA derivatives, see http://www.BrianPeskin/Nexus.com. With all the hoopla about olive oil, I want you to know that it contains mainly omega-9, a non-essential oil that your body itself makes. "Extra virgin" olive oil is traditionally unprocessed and therefore not cancer-causing, but it won't protect you against contracting cancer in the least. Avoid margarine: it won't go bad even when kept out of the fridge. This is the proof of hydrogenated oil's failure to oxygenate. If it still could oxygenate when eaten, it would turn rancid when left unrefrigerated--just like fish does. Canola and soy oils are not recommended; neither was ever meant for human consumption but as food for farm animals or for industrial applications. Many foods, especially salad dressings, now contain canola oil. You should try to avoid it.

The oils must be uncooked, or at the very least only slightly heated, to retain their important nutritional properties. Also bear in mind that some supplement manufacturers' labels fail to separately identify and distinguish the parent EFAs from the EFA derivatives. It may be impossible to tell whether you are getting the parent EFAs or the EFA derivatives. Make certain of what you're getting before you purchase it. Make sure the oils are raw, unprocessed and organic and that they do not contain fish oil or any hydrogenated oils.

Omega-6 versus omega-3 ratios in the body

We must look at the tissue content of our bodies to determine what oils contain the best anti-cancer EFAs. It is known from pathology studies that the brain and nervous system have a ratio of one part omega-6 to one part omega-3 (1:1). Some nutritionists suggest that this ratio is best, but they are wrong. Here's why.

Most organs contain a 4:1 omega-6 to omega-3 ratio. However, the brain, nervous system and organs comprise only about 12% of body weight. Skin is 100% parent omega-6 and contains no omega-3;35 it comprises about 4% of body weight. The muscles comprise at least 50% of total body weight and are the prime factor to account for in determining the required parent omega-6 to omega-3 ratio. A key fact about muscle structure is that muscle contains from 5.5 to 7.5 times more omega-6 than omega-3, depending on the degree of physical condition.36 We are warned about "overdosing" on omega-6 in our diets and told that we must take lots of oils containing omega-3 to compensate. We are told that we are ingesting upwards of 20 times too much omega-6. This is wrong, and there is much more to the analysis.

Scientifically, you need an organic supplement with a ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 of 1:1 up to 2.5:1. With this powerfully effective ratio, you only require a minimum amount of 3-4 grams on a daily basis. This ratio is significantly different than your physician, health practitioner or writers on popular nutritional publications will likely suggest: they simply don't know and understand the basis of it. Their analysis consists of a significant number of errors, and I hope you will review the paper "The Scientific Calculation of the Optimum Omega 6/3 Ratio" at http://www.BrianPeskin.com (click on "EFA Report") so you will understand this as well as the science behind the calculation of the ideal omega-6 to omega-3 ratio.

Today, people automatically think of fish oil or flax oil as the anti-cancer solution. Following these incorrect recommendations is a significant factor in why America's cancer rates continue to skyrocket in spite of millions of people taking these oils. Fish oil, with an overdose of omega-3 series derivatives, can actually be cancer-causing-the opposite of what we desire--and flax oil contains far too much parent omega-3.

Most parent omegas do not get converted to derivatives; they remain in the cell membranes and tissues in original parent form. Few scientists understand this and few medical texts explain it.37 Furthermore, commercial food processing destroys a significant amount of these EFAs, along with their oxygenating ability.

EFA-containing foods in the diet

Here's a representative listing of categories of foods containing these essential oils. It is imperative to understand that these foods must be grown organically and, if necessary, processed with low heat and no artificial preservatives-otherwise the EFAs will be ruined, like the trans-fat, hydrogenated, cancer-causing oils you've heard about. Compare your diet and these EFA-containing foods. Are you getting enough of them?

Dairy/eggs/cheese: "Raw milk" cheeses and organic eggs are excellent sources of EFAs. Pasteurised (heated) milk is deficient in EFAs and is detrimental to infants.

Meats: Organically raised and processed chicken, beef (grass-fed is best38), lamb, pork, etc. are rich sources of EFAs. Animal-based protein is also important for obtaining anti-cancer vitamins and minerals and for producing strong haemoglobin which enables oxygen transportation.

Nuts: Organic, unprocessed raw almonds, walnuts, peanuts, cashews, etc.

Seafood: Shrimp (prawns), fish, lobster, crab, clams, oysters, etc. It is important to understand that consuming lots of seafood is not the anti-cancer answer. Seafood is overly abundant in both parent and derivative omega-3 EFAs. Fish, especially farmed fish, contains mostly omega-3 derivatives; farmed fish and oil from farmed fish are to be avoided.

Seeds: Organic sunflower, sesame, flax, pumpkin, etc.

The following foods do not contain usable EFAs for humans:

Fruits and vegetables: Animals with multiple stomachs can extract EFAs out of plant-based cellulose like grass, but humans, with only one stomach, cannot. Even if we could extract the EFAs, we could never eat the volume required to get enough.

Grains/cereals: Humans cannot extract the EFAs from them.

The miracle of EFA "oxygen magnets"

Think of these polyunsaturated EFAs as "oxygen magnets". The proof of this fact is buried in the world's leading medical textbooks and medical journals such as Harper's Illustrated Biochemistry, 26th edition,40 and Human Nutrition Clinical Nutrition, July 1984.41

EFAs are integral to the structure and function of cellular respiration. Without high respiration efficiency, cancer is soon to follow. These EFA oxygen magnets in the cell membrane attract the oxygen that's in the bloodstream and transfer it into the cell, just like little oxygen sponges. This process is supposed to be happening in each of the body's 100 trillion cells.

So, no matter how much you breathe or exercise, if you don't have the proper functional EFAs at the cellular level then your cells will not absorb enough oxygen from your bloodstream and you will be that much more susceptible to cancer. Remember that the cancer "threshold" is a 35% decrease in cellular oxygen.

Without a continuing new supply of these EFAs from food, cellular oxygen transfer is significantly reduced. Imagine what would happen if you had 100 trillion cells that were all deficient in a vital substance they required to be able to absorb oxygen.

Here's an example showing how these essential fats absorb oxygen. At the supermarket, fish goes bad in only a few days because the oil in the fish is highly oxygen-absorbing-it reacts rapidly with the oxygen in the air. Fish spoils rapidly because the EFA-containing oil has the capacity to absorb lots of oxygen. This chemical process is called oxidation. This is also true with other types of essential fats. They do their job of absorbing oxygen, but because of it they have a limited life. They simply won't work after a short period. EFAs become "spent", i.e., rancid. That's why they need to be replaced every day from our food-Nature designed us this way.

There are many ways to add additional oxygen to the bloodstream, such as by exercising, drinking "oxygenated" water or breathing purer air. However, these partial solutions are insufficient for maximum anti-cancer protection. When the EFA deficiency is solved, every organ becomes its own "oxygen magnet", just as Nature intended.

Breast cancer and oxygen deficiency

Breast cancer is the number-one cancer plague to women worldwide. The growing incidence of breast cancer can be explained for the first time in light of Dr Warburg's discovery about lack of oxygen to the cells.

The breasts consist of an exceptionally high amount of fatty tissue. A typical cell membrane in muscle tissue is half-fat and contains about one-third EFAs (oxygen transferors). However, fatty tissue like the breast contains areas of 80-95% fat concentration. These fatty components of breast tissue require and should have high EFA concentrations, but because of modern food processing they don't. Because important organs such as the brain, heart, lungs and kidneys require EFAs on a priority basis, there may not be enough left over to ensure that breast tissue receives an adequate amount of EFAs.

Therefore, oxygen deficiency in the breast tissue will be very significant.

Given this premise, we can deduce that breast tissue should and would be the number-one expected cancer site in women worldwide, and it is. This conclusion makes so much sense in explaining the massive rise in breast cancer rates. Harvard's Dr W. C. Willett gives us the proof. In a study on the intake of parent omega-6 involving over 80,000 nurses, it was shown that the group with the lowest intake of linoleic acid (parent omega-6) exhibited the highest incidence of breast cancer (NEJM 1987; 316(1):22-28).42

Has your ob-gyn told you that you need this miraculous anti-cancer nutrient? I doubt it; he or she probably doesn't know.

Fish oil won't stop heart disease

Surprisingly, it was known back in 1979 that diet influenced EFA composition of the cell membrane; this finding was published in Cancer Research (1979; 39:1726-32).43 In 1990, a masterpiece of research conducted by William E. Lands found that the amount of critical parent omega-6 in the tissues was dependent on diet (Lipids 1990; 25(9):505-16).44

To gain the best in scientific research, in 2002 I attended the world's 1st Essential Fatty Acids and Human Nutrition and Health International Conference in Shanghai, China.

There I discovered a shocking and unexpected discovery that fish oil lowers immunity. I nearly fell out of my chair! Overdosing on fish oil supplements can significantly decrease the effectiveness of your immune system, increasing your risk of contracting cancer. The International Society for the Study of Fatty Acids and Lipids (ISSFAL) June 2000 Congress in Tsukuba, Japan,45 had reported this startling fact, as noted earlier.

And don't think that fish oil prevents heart disease. It doesn't. Cardiovascular Research (2002; 54:183-190) reported on a study where both the fish oil group and the control group showed close to equal atherosclerotic progression (arteries getting more clogged in spite of taking fish oil supplements). Nor did fish oil stop thickening of the artery. On the contrary, the artery wall got thicker (worsened) with fish oil ingestion! A mere 1.65 grams per day of fish oil supplement was taken-a great enough dose to cause adverse immunity and excessive internal bleeding, too.46

These results showing the failure of fish oil were published in 2002. Did this stop "experts" in the nutritional and medical fields and even in our governments from declaring how great fish oil supplements are? No!

Harvard Medical School was involved in a study, published in 1995, titled "Controlled Trial of Fish Oil for Regression of Human Coronary Atherosclerosis" (Am Coll Cardiol 1995; 25(7):1492-8).47

The daily dose was six grams of fish oil versus six grams of olive oil in the control group. Their conclusion? "Fish oil treatment for two years does not promote major favorable changes in the diameter of atherosclerotic coronary arteries" (author's emphasis). This means that arterial clogging was not decreased with the fish oil supplements.

Omega-6 derivative AA prevents blood clotting

Dr Warburg understood that slow blood speed allowed cancer to metastasise. Later, other researchers showed that if you can keep a localised cancer from metastasising, your risk of dying from cancer decreases by an amazing tenfold! Even though you may have cancer, you won't die from it. Blood speed and viscosity have a connection to the spread of cancer. This is a surprising, seldom-mentioned fact that was pointed out by world-renowned molecular biologist Robert Weinberg.49

What causes metastasis? Blood clots, and this is known, too.50 What prevents blood from "sticking together" and is also Nature's natural blood-thinner that prevents blood clots? No, it's not omega-3, like you are constantly told. Parent omega-6 is much more powerful. Arachidonic acid (AA) is a critical omega-6 derivative and major biochemical component which occurs in virtually every cell we have. It is the building block of the most potent anti-aggregatory ("helps blood thinning") agent known, termed prostacyclin. AA also inhibits platelet adhesion, making it a natural "blood thinner". AA even helps solve vascular problems as a response to injury.51

Heart attack victims often have depleted EFA levels, especially the EFA derivatives AA from parent omega-6 and EPA from parent omega-3.56 We need some parent omega-3 because EPA is one of its important derivatives. The problem is that fish oil supplements overdose us with far too much.

What's really clogging the arteries

Contrary to what we have heard for decades, it is not the saturated fat that clogs the arteries and impedes blood flow: it's the adulterated parent omega-6.

A groundbreaking Lancet article (1994; 344:1195-96) reported investigating the components of arterial plaques. Felton et al. measured the individual components, and in an aortic artery clog they found over 10 different compounds but no saturated fat.57 There was some cholesterol in the clog. This is explained by the fact that cholesterol acts as a protective healer for arterial cuts and bruises, just like a scab forms over external cuts.

What is the predominant component of a clog? You probably guessed it: the adulterated omega-6 polyunsaturated oils-those that start out containing properly functioning EFAs but get ruined during commercial food processing. Many similar analyses of arterial clogs showing the same result have been carried out and published in the medical journals, but it would seem that few physicians have seen them.58 The average person has little, if any, chance of ever discovering the truth.

So, it is not cholesterol itself that clogs the arteries. If you have a deficiency of EFAs, cholesterol acts as a "poison delivery system". EFAs are cholesterol's major component. As the medical textbook Molecular Biology of the Cell makes clear (p. 481), cholesterol is necessary for the structural integrity of the lipid bi-layer, the matrix in each of our 100 trillion cell membranes. JAMA (1994; 272:1335-40) published an article stating that cholesterol-lowering drugs do not work significantly to prevent heart disease. The reason? They can't lower the amount of defective parent omega-6 enough.

As stated in Current Atherosclerosis Reports (2004; 6:477-84), this is why cholesterol drugs can't do the job:59 "LDL contains up to 80% lipids [fats and oils], including polyunsaturated fatty acids and cholesterol, mainly esters. Linoleic acid (LA), one of the most abundant fatty acids in LDLÉ"

With this information, we see that it is what the cholesterol is transporting-the adulterated EFAs-that is the problem. An article in Human Nutrition: Clinical Nutrition (1984; 38C:245-260) further verifies that it is parent omega-6 that makes up most of the fatty acids in LDL and HDL cholesterol.60

Don't let anyone ever tell you that natural fats are "bad". One hundred trillion cells need lots of EFA-containing natural fats; in particular, lots of parent omega-6.

If just a little of this parent omega-6 is defective, reducing its ability to absorb oxygen and perform other cellular functions, it acts as a direct cause of cancer as well as heart disease. °

A 90% Cancer Cure Diet using Flaxseed Oil %26amp; Cottage Cheese?
This is all lies. I hope that neither you nor a member of your family get cancer (though you have a 1-in-four chance) and choose to follow this nonsense rather than actually having the disease treated.

Think about how bogus the idea is that you can treat or prevent all cancers with the same thing! Do you for a moment entertain the idea that a crushed skull and a broken toe indicate the same treatment? Cancer is hundreds of diseases, not one...

This person is trying to make money by selling an idea to sick people instead of treating them, which I find despicable.
Reply:if you want something that works. I'm not trying to sell anything here but Poly-MVA from www.vrp.com its 200 bucks but it has a 20-50% cure rate just on it alone with types 1-2 or 3 cancers i believe. works on brain injuries too. Report It

Reply:I've researched the Budwig diet and Vitamin B-17 alot. I regularly eat cottage cheese mixed with cold-pressed flaxseed oil and the seeds of various fruits. I have little trust in government agencies. I believe the FDA has their wiener firmly implanted in the buns of the drug companies. I think they suppress any natural thing that could treat, prevent or cure disease. They can't patent natural things so there's no money to be made. The drug companies want to keep people sick so they have to keep taking their drugs and the drug companies keep making billions. It's an appalling atrocity. It's a sinister example of the evil greed in our society.

Fluoride in our tap water?

2009-11-12T22:10:00.003-08:00

Does boiling water kill fluoride (like bacteria) in tap water? The sonofabitch water district is increasing the amount of fluoride in the water supply to reduce decay. Sha right! Like they really have any concern about our dental care!

Fluoride in our tap water?
Fluoride doesn't die, its not living. Boiling it won't do anything for you. Ingesting too much fluoride can lead to a disease known as fluorosis, but if your living in most places in the world i'm sure they've made sure the levels are safe for consumption.
Reply:Fluoride is not alive and cannot be killed, by heat or otherwise. It is simply fluorine ions dissolved in the water. It reinforces tooth enamel, thereby slowing decay.
Reply:No, fluoride is added as sodium fluoride and boiling will not effect it. Don't knock fluoridation of water. About the only people who are not convinced that fluoridation decreases tooth decay these days also believe the earth is flat and that the UN has a bunch of black heliocopters in Canada ready to invade the US and that fluoridation is a Communist plot (although it is no longer clear which Communists are doing it).
Reply:It is true. Fluoride is proven to protect the enamel of your teeth. It is one of the active ingredients in almost every toothpaste.Fluoride is not a bacteria. Bacteria can be killed by boiling. Toxins produced by bacteria can't be destroyed by boiling.

Why do i have to pay extra for porcelin crowns on the NHS?

2009-11-12T22:10:00.002-08:00

i have to pay for my dental treatment on the NHS,

i have recently been told that i need a pocelin crown on one of my teeth replacing,

i have been told by several dentists who take NHS patients,that only metal crowns are available on the NHS,

i have to pay £300 for a porcelin one!!

am i being ripped off?

are there any dentists who supply pocelin crowns,within the £189 price band.

also, why do we have to pay for dental treatment on the NHS, teeth are part of your body!!

i had a very bad accident several years ago,where surgeons sewed back fingers and replaced skin and veins,

i needed several operations, and a year of phisio,

it did not cost me a penny, yet i need a small bit of hard clay stuck onto a tooth and it cost £300!!!

cheers

seadog

Why do i have to pay extra for porcelin crowns on the NHS?
Unfortunately the porcelin crowns take a lot of extra work to make so cost much more. The metal ones are fine, I have one despite initial reservations about it. I dont think you will find a dentsist that does it within the £189!
Reply:NHS is only to provide basic care. Porcelain fillings are expensive and only provide a cosmetic benefit.

It's like being given a gift then complaining it's not good enough.
Reply:Consider yourself lucky you didnt have to pay for all the surgery several years ago. NHS cover in this country is a priviledge, not a right.

Porcelain crowns are more expensive for the exact same reason as a porcelain plate costs more than a paper one - production costs.
Reply:Yes, you and the rest of us are being ripped off.

We all pay outrageous NI, which is far more expensive than the "private medicine" in Europe or Australia.

But, the British public is brain-washed into thinking that we have a great NHS.
Reply:porcelain crowns are only avaliable on the NHS for the front teeth all back teeth will get a metal crown, they cost more to make so they are only provided for the front, £300 is a reasonable price for a private porcelain crown,

hey its ure teeth u only got one set now, and the metal crowns look terrible, start saving

Can someone write me up a horse boarding contract , using minnesota laws, not California?

2009-11-12T22:10:00.001-08:00

I am 16 years old and I am in the horse boarding business. I need to have a horse boarding contract that protects me and my property so i don't get sued for anything. The contract has to include the fees and monthly charges of boarding,including specialty request (grooming, excersizing,etc.) the board should be paid by check or money order. i want it to have the option of me supplying grain %26amp; hay or they supply their own. also, they supply any extra supplements. also, if their horse dies or gets sick , that i won't be held responsible, the horse owner is responsible for ALL happenings. the horse owner must be held responsible and has to pay for all damages their horse has caused. they are responsible for upkeep of horse(vet,farrier,dental) i have some more to have put in there, but there isn't enough room on this detail page, so email me @ mcgaga16@yahoo.com if you know and can help me draw up a plan, or if you already have one drawn up for your boarding stables. thanks!

Can someone write me up a horse boarding contract , using minnesota laws, not California?
These are two fairly good boarding contracts that you can download for free. But to get the very best contract that will protect you using the laws of your state, you may want to consult an attorney. I am sure that you could find one that would draft the contract for you for a reasonable price, if you give them all of the info that you have provided here. Good Luck. It sounds like you are well on your way to a successful business.
Reply:Try contacting your local extension office. I know the lady I boarded from(in WI) had gotten her contract from an extension office. Otherwise I know awhile ago Hobby Farms (a year and a half ago) had an excellent article on opening a boarding business. Something might be online ( http://www.hobbyfarms.com ?) or you could try finding old issues at a library or from a friend.

After 4 years of AirForce, What do i DO?

2009-11-12T22:10:00.000-08:00

I already signed up for 4 years of USAF.

My questions are...

what will i be able to do after serving for 4 years...

I think i will get a job like Dental or Medical assisntant...

Or something like Chiroprotic Assistant...

maybe Supply Manager...

1.What jobs will be open for me ? How much will i be able to make?

I didn't even go to college so i don't have high education...

I heard its gonna be easy for me to get a job in civilian life.. but juss lil bit worried about my life...

Cuz i don't know if its a right choice for me, some say going to college will be a better idea...

2. Serving AF can accelerate my life? is it juss some BS that recruiters say?

And while serving in AF, i was thinking to save every pay - check i get... maybe only spend about 150 bucks a month.

My goal was to save at least $60,000 by the time i get out...

3. Is it possible to live only spending 150 dollaz or less a month while serving in AF?

Sorry for so many questions...

After 4 years of AirForce, What do i DO?
Many jobs in the AF provide training and experience that are valuable in the civilian world. Which jobs will be open for you and how much you can earn depends on what you're trained to do. The AF gives good training.

If you're well disciplined, you can probably get by on $150, since you'll be living in the barracks and eating in the chow hall, as long as you don't go out partying a lot or buy a car. Also, don't get pregnant or married.
Reply:make a career out of your service life after you are finished in the air force, will be able to travel and see a lot of exciting places! there are a lot of college graduates that do not have jobs, but I think when you are in the service you can work on getting a college education, first get your high school diploma. what expenses would you really have in the air force? yes, you could save money then.. if you don't even have a high school diploma, you will not be able to get into any college anyway and if you don't have lots of money then student loans can tie you down later on in your life.
Reply:How much you save is up to you, but don't forget to live a life while you are in. Going to college would be the smartest and maybe the most fun thing you ever did once you get out. Put as much money as you can into any fund the AF will match or contribute to in any way. College can be a blast, especially if you aren't broke. The military is a great place for a person to learn some discipline and figure out what to pursue for a career. You can always work on your degree while in the AF. Just be careful that the credits you earn will be transferable to an accredited 4 year college or university.
Reply:You can save a lot of money in the Air Force if you are willing to make an effort to do so. It will be tough, you might want to allott yourself a little more than $150. Make sure you sign up for the MGIB though. I am using it now to go to college and it is pretty good. I get 1411.11 a month untaxed, and it is barely enough for me to pay for tuition and books and all that. Just make sure you have some money saved when you are getting ready to get out if you are interested in going to college.

60,000 is very ambitous! Good luck!
Reply:1. Any of the assistant jobs should transfer pretty easily into civilian life, though I would suggest changing chiro assistant to say physical therapist, there are some big bucks in that field. As a supply manager I guess you could go work for any warehouse distribution, or any type of supply business though not as glamorous as the med/dental field. Pay-wise I'd say go on Monster.com / military.com or something like that to see what they pay is for those fields.

1a. If you can afford to go to college vs going to the military I'd say go to college, if not you can knock out some college while you're serving it'll be tough but not impossible. Also if you end up in the med field get any license or certification that you can get while serving, will be a positive on your resume. And of course sign up for the GI bill so you'll have money for college if you decide to get out %26amp; check with your recruiter to see if your state pays for Veterans tuition, less money out of your pocket.

2. Accelerating your life is the NAVY slogan. Yes it is propoganda but not complete BS, you will get to do %26amp; see some very interesting things...some will be pretty mundane too.

2a %26amp; 3. Spending only $150 is possible but you will have to do without alot of stuff. Hope you weren't planning on owning a car, cell phone, cable TV, internet %26amp; I don't think you'll have a very active social life. You will need to have a phone line in your dorm room so they can get ahold of you or you could get a cell phone just don't go over your minutes. You could volunteer to go on long TDYs to the desert since you won't be spending much money there %26amp; you'll get your pay tax-free %26amp; extra per diem. That will add more into your savings account. Though the best thing you could do is start a savings allotment so that money goes into your savings account before you even see it, thats what I do and then of course come up with a budget %26amp; stick with it.

Best of luck.

Need Advice - Stagette tonight!?

2009-11-12T22:09:00.001-08:00

Any of you that have read my previous questions will know and understand this has been one thing after another.

I am unable to attend my best friends wedding (read previous posts if you like) so I volunteered to host the stagette due to her not really knowing any of the wedding party. I was supposed to converse with the new MOH in details. She wanted a limo, a pre-party and then the bar. The cost of the stagette was rocketing and I told the new MOH I couldnt afford this much. So we worked out a solution to cost. I was to pay a portion of the limo/drinks but I would through the pre-party and supply food/decor.

So Tues. I had a big dental appoint. Lots of work done. Wed. I woke up with a sore throat. I emailed bride Wed night - told her about dentist and said it may be that or I may be sick. If I am getting sick do you still want me there since wedding is so close. Didnt hear back. Thought she hadnt read the email. Comps went down at work and I had to pull OT time Thurs.

Need Advice - Stagette tonight!?
Your "friend" is being anything but. What a horrible person the bride is! At the very least, she (the bride...since she was supposed to be your friend, after all) should have called you and asked you how you were feeling....but I guess she never learned tact or consideration. What a bunch of peevy b!tches.

Sorry, but I would say take all the stuff over to the place and just walk in, dump it in the middle of the room, say "have a nice f**king life" and walk out. You don't need these sorts of people in your life. How RUDE!

This is the exact reason I DESPISE "stagette" or bachelorette parties. And it's also the reason I hate how catty and snotty women get when they're getting married. What the hell gets into people these days?

And before anyone assumes differently, I have been married twice, and neither time was I EVER a freakish jerk like so many bridezillas are!!
Reply:wow thats a bit messed up.I would go and i would there any way to help decorate. Who cares what they think.I would bring all that food you had too.This party is for the bride...not her friends.Do your thing and dont worry about the haters
Reply:Rise above it-don't stoop to the level of all those girls when you and your husband are both working so hard to buld a good life. I know you feel a sense of obligation because she has been in your life so long, but its time you close this chapter and move forward.

As for the extra food, hopefully you can freeze it for another occasion, but if not, why not have a nice little dinner at your house for your husband and family and maybe some other friends who have nothing to do with this whole fiasco. Lord knows you deserve to treat youself to a fun night off.

I dated this guy, who, of course, I thought was nice -- at first I did anyways. (Sorry this Q is so long.)?

2009-11-12T22:09:00.000-08:00

He has three kids, all great. The only place he we go is the local coffee shop. I was buying groceries for his kids, taking them out for ice cream, etc. Things he wouldn't do. He would go out to breakfast by himself every morning and leave the kids home to eat toast, which I bought. He doesn't help kids mother with their dental bills, buying school clothes or supplies, haircuts, etc. Thinks he does his part by having them at his house Friday, Saturday and Sunday. He had TiVo installed so that was the end of any sort of social life. Of course I left him. Now he's going around telling mutual friends that I was just using him!! His kids still call me and we still get together without him. He he found out about and has forbidden his children to have any contact with me. Their mother doesn't have a problem with it. She appreciates the relationship we have.

Should I back out of the picture completely or would it be okay to maintain my friendship with his kids?

I dated this guy, who, of course, I thought was nice -- at first I did anyways. (Sorry this Q is so long.)?
These children have formed a bond with you. It would be cruel to simply back out. If you want to distance yourself from the, do it slowly so that they won't suffer from the separation. You sound like a terrific person. Good luck.

Would water filters remove the sodium flouride content from tap water?

2009-11-12T22:08:00.003-08:00

For a while now I have been concerned with the health risks attributed to this toxic waste passed off as a dental aid "sodium flouride" in the water supply, does filtering do any good to remove it?

Ontop of that they found traces of many prescription drugs in the water supply too, check your news it made headlines already...

Would water filters remove the sodium flouride content from tap water?
The best system for removing flouride is a reverse osmosis system. Brita systems do not remove flouride - they remove chlorine and not much else. As far as pharmacuticals are concerned - the book is still out on that. I believe that alot of pharmacuticals can be removed by reverse osmosis, but extensive testing in the industry for every drug has not been done yet, so until we know, it will be hard to know what's in our water.
Reply:Yes, the Brita water filter eliminates quite a lot of things in the water.

Makes it taste better and smell better without all the chlorine smell and taste. ew.
Reply:hell yeah, I got me a "pur" walter filter pitcher. My water tastses so much better , and I feel better. You also should get a shower head filter. Those toxins can be absobred through skin too, and your skin wont be as dry
Reply:Yes, filters will remove fluoride. Just make sure it removes chlorine and it will also remove fluoride. However, be sure to use a fluoride rinse in your routine to keep your teeth strong.
Reply:No no no no no! Those people are totally wrong about brita's or pur's removing fluoride (or rather fluorine) from the water! The only way ro remove it is by using reverse osmosis.

I just researched this fairly recently, went to the pur and brita websites...

The only reason they found pharmaceuticals in the water is because they now have the analytical chemistry to "see" them in smaller amounts. I'm not saying it's bad, but I think it was a case of just not being able to look before.

2009-11-12T22:08:00.002-08:00

If after they finished school, they served the community for 3 years. We would have to pay them lets say $60,000 a year for their services, but they would supply the poor, help with medical dental and law services for 3 years. Your thoughts and suggestions.

Would you be willing to forgive a doctor's, a dentists, and a lawyers student loans?
Good idea. My local medical school has such a program. The graduating doctors have to spend some period of time in the rural areas of my state that lack doctors and their student loans are forgiven or reduced based upon the circumstances.
Reply:It is working out very well in New Mexico. We're got doctors out to our 21 Indian tribes and to the ranch land. The doctors love the program and it's been a great benefit to our state.

A serious question about GI bill in Military Service...?

2009-11-12T22:08:00.001-08:00

I am not so sure if i want to get a job right after i get out of mah service of 4 years in Air force or want to go back to College...

So i am not quite sure if GI bill (100 dollaz for 12 months) is necessary for me...

Please help with your experiences...

Is it going to be even easy for me to get a job without going to college, juss from serving in AF for 4 years?

Is it gonna be enough for mah resume?...

or should i get the GI bill and go back to college in order to get a good job after the service?

I might be in a career like Dental, medical assistant

A serious question about GI bill in Military Service...?
You would be a fool not to take the deal. I know. I'm a fool too. I will retire from the military in the forseeable future. I elected to forgo the $100/month deduction in 1990, because I was sure I would never use it. I had some college credit already and new my plan was for a long-term career. I knew I could use tuition assistance for completing my degree, and did exactly that (A.A. in '97 and B.A. in '98). I rationalized that the $100 was too much of my meager $820/month and that the $10,000 that it would net later (20 years, if at all) wasn't worth it. What I didn't foresee was congress raising the benefit to over $36,000 in the intervening years. I also didn't realize how much I would want to go back to school when I retired (with a 158 LSAT I can get in, but no one is going to assist me with Law School). I have four kids and have to suppport them when I retire, by going to work, not school. With the benefits and my retirement I could probably swing it, but alas, I do not have them. What a fool I am. Don't you be!
Reply:Taking the GI Bill is one of the best things you can do, you pay in $1200 and get $36,000 towards college, or even more. You can use it at any accredited school so it doesn't mean that you have to go to a 4 year college, you can become a medical assistant, go to an Art Institute or something else. A friend of ours went to ITT and now does electronics. As long as it is approved by VA. You may change your mind in a few years on going ot college. My dh never wanted to go at all, but now he has 3 Associates, 2 Bachelors and is working on Bachelor's #3. Most of it has been paid for by Tuition Assistance but he has used part of his GI Bill towards it.

You maybe able to get a job without college, but it is hard to say in today's word. You may need it and you have numerous years after you get out to decide on what you want to do. The GI BIll doesn't end when you get out, you can use it afterwards until it is all gone. Before it was 10 years you had to use it (you could even take 1 class at a time) but now I believe it doesn't expire at all.
Reply:actually, you only need to pay 1,200 over a year to get the GI bill, and yes, it is worth it. it translates to about 35,000 dollars. consider it the best investment you will ever make.
Reply:do the G.I. Bill. It is very much worth it and it's only $100. If you don't see it you won't miss it. The civilian loves military people because you have actual job experience, but you could still take a few classes and collect that GI bill money. You can also use the GI bill while you are in the AF after 3 years. You may not need it but leave your options open and take the GI Bill.
Reply:Hey there...the GI Bill is an amazing offer. The first 12 months of your service you will have $100 deducted from your pay. For now it is $36,000!!!...Also, during the year, you are entitled to $4,500 a year in Tuition Assistance. I used it to the max every single year. Also if you opt to take the GI Bill, you can pay an additional $600 and it is the kicker. When you collect on your GI Bill, the kicker entitles you to an extra $150/month. The military is always encouraging its people to further their education. Theres over a billion dollars for our education. If you do not use it, you lose it. Consider it as a sweet bonus.

The military is always a plus to any employer. It shows that you have discipline and you are able to deal with a stressful work environment. I always tell people to go to school...just sitting in the military and partying all the time...they are not getting anything out of it. Then again, I am always encouraging people that the military will shape them into a wonderful leader. Go to school at the same time...it is hard, but very worth it. I have taken 4 classes since September. With my military training and my dedication to finish school, I can have my bachelors in a little over 2 years...

You can do it too...
Reply:Everyone I know (4 people) that turned down the GI Bill has regretted it.

You can use it on AD (after 3 years) if you have exhausted your tuitition assistance. You can use it for barber school, you can use it for cooking school, etc as well as traditional college.

The four years of active duty will help you in the job market; however, you will be going up against people with degrees and military experience. Best be as prepared as you can.
Reply:The first thing to know is that military jobs like dental techs or medical assitants do not get the same certification as civilian jobs. While you can get tons of experience in those fields that civilian employers would jump on, you will still have to take the courses any other civilian dental hygenist or medical assitant would, so you would definitely want the GI bill to help pay for those courses. Supply or tech support jobs often do some of the same courses and those often translate easily into civilian jobs, but in most career fields, to get past general entry level, you will need some level of college or formalized tech school at some point. Take the GI Bill. Even if you do not use it immediately, you will have it there for when you need to do those courses to advance your career.

Have you looked into supplementing your income from home. There are many programs available. Personally, I work with an Inc 500 Company, in the health and wellness industry. They have been in business for over 20 years and pay me well through their revenues sharing program. You would be able to work around your current schedule.

Contact me through my 360 page if you would like more info on our program... or check on-line for opportunities to work from home. I love it and plan to fully replace my corporate income from home by Sept 2006.

Whine, Whine, Whine... why are there always men on here whining about paying for their own kids Child Support?

2009-11-12T22:07:00.001-08:00

i dont get it, some even (cant add) want to know where the money goes. ARE THEY KIDDING? Someone please tell me how its possible that some cant add living expenses, daycare, insurance, over the counter medicine, dental, school supplies, class trips, laundry det, lunches, etc?

Whine, Whine, Whine... why are there always men on here whining about paying for their own kids Child Support?
I hear you loud and clear, and I have always wondered the same thing, about many deadbeat dads, and even some of the dads who do pay, but still do not include themselves in their childs lives. No, one should be "court ordered" to pay child support and its sad that some men have to be court ordered to support "their" child", it should be something they "want" to do because its their child too. I understand that divorce happens, and for whatever reason and no matter who is to blame, that does not take away the fact that there is a child to support, and not just financially, but emotional support, partaking in the upbringing and sharing good times and sad times, and just being involved. Some think that becase they pay what they have to, or or ordered to, that is enough, well its not. Now, my turn, I am a single father with two girls, and I finally had to get my ex's wages garnished just for any kind of support, she carried them and had them, and now she is free and loose to do anything she wants and be with anyone she wants with no responsibilities, well. I am a man, and these are my girls, and I will never give up on them, until the Good Lord sees to take me. Lastly, all children have "no fault" in being here, we made that choice for them, so its up to us to provide the best enviroment for them. Too bad many people don't see it that way.
Reply:I give up. Not all men are that way.

It's like saying, "Whine, whine whine. Why are there *always* women on here complaining about the loser they married and are now divorced from? Are they so stupid they didn't know he was a loser before they married him and let him knock them up a few times? Someone please explain to me how it's possible that someone can't figure out a guy is an abusive loser before they get married and start popping out his loser kids."

The "always" part and the "women" part are no less sweeping and condemning and inflammatory than your post. Get it?
Reply:Girl I feel you on that one!! Its their kids, those kids are their flesh and blood and they dont even want to support their own kids. They need to get a clue and grow up, and wise up. They need to step up and be real men and handle their business. If they didnt want kids then why didnt they keep mr.willy in their pants or use protection???The mother cant do everything and it takes 2 parents to raise a child. I dont understand men like that. Men like that are just worthless. They have no clue how expensive kids are.
Reply:i think sometimes men think that if they don't have the child, they shouldn't have to pay. but do they want the child? many don't. some do and they loose custody anyway. if you want to play, you have to pay.
Reply:I think that a few women have made it difficult for men to think about the actual things that need to be taken into consideration for the child. Some women, spend it on themselves, pedicures, manicures and other stuff. That child may never see that money.

I think that it depends on the situation and what the women is really doing with the money. But, on the other hand, there are some men out there, who just wanna have their fun and not take care of their responsibilities. I guess that is why the relationship didn't work out to begin with. What else is to be expected.
Reply:i worked two jobs to make sure my kids had enough,,all my ex wanted was to sit on her butt ,watch soap oprea,and eat ding-dongs..not whineing i love my kids!!!!!
Reply:I agree with you girl...... Men get on my nerves... We didn't hop on ourselves and get pregnant... So we shouldn't have to pay by ourselves.. Kids are expensive, and 99% of the time what they pay doesn't even cover all the expenses.. Let along we deal with our children alone when they're sick, tired, whinny, hateful, all the attitudes that come with it.. I wouldn't b*tch about shedding out some money, because that's all they have to deal with...
Reply:The one who breaks up the family (unless the undisputed abuse) should have to take the children and pay for all expenses related to the children. I think that would reduce the divorce rate tremendously. No alimony, child support, etc.

Woman should stop taking there husbands money (in the form of alimony altogether).

Come on ladies take care of yourselves, like we do.
Reply:I had that problem until I sent the kids to him and NOW he understands the stress and financial burden of caring for three children on his own AND working with no one at home to help. He finally gets the "second shift" concept about how his day is only half done when he gets home from work and has to make dinner, do homework, wash clothes, clean, etc.. He actually called me and apologized for all the years he left it all for me to do.

Hey, I did it for 16 years all by myself, working full-time and taking care of every single domestic and child-related issue. All he did was come home when he wanted to for sex, his dinner and for his clean clothes. Oh, sure, maybe he said hi to the kids now and then, but he didn't know anything about them. HE DOES NOW!

Payback is a *****!
Reply:I don't get it eiether....my ex now owes me over $15,000..........child support enforcement will catch up to him, eventually...................

not paying support equals "neglect"

Neglect is not love!
Reply:If they are like me, they have no problem supporting their child. They simply resent having their child taken from them by an unfaithful or ungrateful spouse when they are willing to be the custodial parent, and allow them to have visitation.

It's the knowing that the money is NOT being used for taking care of the child, but for romancing the affair partner, and the system will get all over a non-custodial dad if he doesn't pay, but does nothing to check to see if mom is using that money for the child.

Yeah, that about covers it.
Reply:Some women want to take everything %26amp; let the x go to a homeless shelter. Other women get new boyfriends, move them into the house the ex helped pay for %26amp; she parties on the support $ instead of spending it on her kids. The few mom's that do this make life h-e-l-l for the good moms.

Not everything can be blamed on a man.

There are also deadbeats (mom's and dad's)who just don't care.
