Yeah, thanks for the tip jerk.  Do you have any idea of all the things that cause cancer?  Because there is more to it than that.  My girlfriend has cancer and she is 17 so I would really appreciate you not being such a jerk and actually comment on the thread instead of giving your opinion about processed food.  There is so many things that cause cancer now these days.

 

She is 17 and got cancer?

Wich one: Leukemia, Thymoma, teratoma, thyroid, ovary?

 

I don't know about him, but I have a pratty good idea of most of the things that cause cancer.
Eating to much certain tipes of food, drinking alchool regulary, smoking, to much sun exposure, genetic pre-disposition, radiation, becoming old enough, etc....

It's ovary

And yeah it seems like everything causes cancer these days.  I drink propel which is supposedly suppose to be healthy but it is said that may cause cancer as well.  Hopefully they will find a cure one day.  And not just for cancer but for all the other diseases too.  

 

In which stage is the cancer? (I predicted it would one of those I mentioned based on gender and age, I'm a Med student)

But I don't wan't to be harsh on you, there is treatment for cancer and we eventually cure people, but there will never be cure for AIDS, cancers, etc..... due to their always mutating nature.

But there are ways to treat your girlfriend, chymio, radioterapy, surgery, hormones, etc....

Cancer cells arise everyday. It is up to your body to locate and kill these abnormal cells. If you want to play me off as uneducated fool then you have another thing coming. I have a BS degree which means I took a shitload of science courses. So take your high horse position trying to make me look like a prick just because you have a girlfriend with cancer. Your guilt trip is nothing but bs.  I'm done with this thread and it looks like it never took off in the first place.  Have fun.


Dude do you think Im trying to guilt you?  No, i just think you are being a jerk simple as that.  A lot more things cause cancer than what you said.  You sound a little bitter?  Why so?


1. Truth is that cancer is not well understood

 

2. ''Annette Pinner, chief executive of the Vegetarian Society, said: "It is widely recognised that a third of cancers are directly related to diet and what's interesting in this study is the findings on blood cancers''

2.1 Vegetarianism, and

2.2 Eating organic foods SIGNIFICANTLY decrease cancer risk

(http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2009/jul/01/vegetarians-blood-cancer-diet-risk)

3. He wasn't provoking you in the slightest. I find Seth's comment neutral and unemotional.

4. You seem like the one who's acting like a jerk due to your own circumstances which have nothing to do with us. If you go through a tough time, then don't blame people on the internet for not knowing about it. Some people here (trust me I know) have gone through untimely deaths of parents and friends etc. Never was anyone malevolent towards them here, despite the fact that atheists/christians/evolutionists/etc. fight about crap all the time. If your attitude towards life is in any way resembling your lashing out at Seth then all I can say is you will have a tough time.

5. I'm sorry if my words seem harsh.

Are you friggin' serious!?

Sethnintendo, don't listen do these people. Just chant Om and feel the healing powers circulate through your body my friend

SERIOUSLY THOUGH, what he said is 100% scientifically correct.

HIV and AIDS aren't an instant death sentence. The treatment of these illnesses, however, has not transformed since 1996. Scientists have been attempting to determine how the proteins of this family of viruses work together. Scientists checking out the HIV-like disease eventually chose to ask users of a computer game for help. Just three weeks later, the query has been answered. This is the second major breakthrough Foldit has created.

Suck that it's ovarian cancer. It's one of the most difficult cancers to treat.

To be honest I never really followed this folding@home program since IMO I believe in a more natural non-homeopathic way to treat such diseases. But it seems there has been some progress.

Honestly (I'm being serious) how can you eliminate something like cancer since it's inside all of us because really, cancer is one of those diseases that can't be eradicated in the same way as viruses and bacterium. Cancer cells are like zombies, it doesn't know its dead so it's very difficult to kill a dead cell without affecting the healthy ones with current modern medicine (hence why treatment such as chemo is very ineffective). In a nutshell, it's all about how to cure an abnormal cell which is impossible with conventional medicine.
