I believe in mainstream medicine they recognize that cancer cells consume a lot of sugar, but that you can't starve cancer cells because the body tightly controls glucose levels.

German naturopath Andreas Moritz, who I find to be a good source of alternative/eastern medicine, talked about how cancer is an adaptive mechanism when the body is dealing with a toxicity crisis (often from liver congestion). And that sugar intake encourages tumor growth.

“You Either Raise Your children Like you were Raise, or you Don’t”

So saith my mentor from long ago, a protestant priest who thought for himself and also said things like, “if it feels good, it is good”. Yes, controversial and subject to debate, but the point is to figure things out for yourself. That you have done, Surak, and even more you spread your beneficence (like he did) to others who will listen. Indoctrination (propaganda) is everywhere, and why not? Bill Bonner says, “people are not always good or always bad, but always subject to influence.” That is the word used by hypnotists and requires the suspension of disbelief (skepticism) such that the subject will do anything to please the hypnotist. Have you ever seen a stage hypnotist? What appears like magic is actually a technology that can be used to extract teeth without local anesthetic.

Or to cause mass formation psychosis, like we experienced with Covid. Think about it.

Thinking for yourself (from first principles) is difficult and subject to major cognitive dissonance. Tough. You were never promised a rose garden. You are charged with survival, at all costs, just like your ancestors (to whom you owe a debt that can never be repaid). That our “family” of elected representatives might abuse us rather than serve us is becoming more apparent. Also, given the verisimilitude of Lord Acton’s dictum, many biological families DO abuse their children, as do the mighty and powerful (as revealed by the Eps’26.tein files). But life is not a mathematical model, complicated and inexorable. It is COMPLEX and subject to emergent (unforeseen) recombinations that surprise and delight. Which brings me to my point here: your blog is absolutely delightful! And you bring hope. I know, I know, its “Old School” and not modern-now-ago-go. But virtue is its own reward and it is still a beautiful world. https://allpoetry.com/desiderata---words-for-life
