There has been a rise in patients from the younger age group in the last few months, coinciding with the regime’s push to inoculate children between 3 and 11 years old. More than half of the population of children in that age bracket have been vaccinated. Parents and children were reportedly coerced into vaccination.
At the close of the first Gulf War, Saddam Hussein was denounced as a ferocious villain for ordering his retreating troops to destroy Kuwaiti oil fields, clotting the air with poisonous clouds of black smoke and saturating the ground with swamps of crude. It was justly called an environmental war crime.
It may be common knowledge that smoking cigarettes leads to a host of diseases and early death, but did you know that 30% of all cancer deaths are smoking-related? This is according to a study published in JAMA Internal Medicine. [1]
Smoking is the biggest preventable cause of death from cancer and other diseases, yet 40 million people continue to puff away on cigarettes, according to U.S. researchers from the American Cancer Society (ACS).
Federal data has emerged demonstrating that brain cancer is now the deadliest form of cancer for children and teens. Previously, leukemia was the cancer that was most fatal for children.
According to the data provided by the Centers for Disease Control, in 1999, 1 in 3 children who died of cancer died of leukemia. One in four children with fatal cancer had brain cancer. By 2014, the numbers had reversed. [1]
The report stated:
Six-year-old Erin Cross is now in remission from acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) after she traveled from the United Kingdom to the United States to receive experimental treatment at the Seattle Children’s Hospital.
The lives of both adults and children with leukemia can be saved with bone marrow or stem cell transplants, but it’s difficult to find a match. Well, a new study shows that (umbilical) cord-blood may work just as well, if not better. [1]
Lead study author Dr. Filippo Milano says:
“Often, cord-blood transplant is thought to be only as the last resource for patients without donors. But cord blood does not have to be considered only an alternative donor source. In centers with experience, it can yield to great outcomes.”
U.S. regulators in July of 2016 halted a trial of Juno Therapeutics Inc.’s experimental cancer therapy, known as JCAR015, after three patients died.
JCAR015 uses genetically engineered cells as a treatment for cancer. However, one of the pursuits in oncology was temporarily halted by the FDA when some of the participants developed fatal swelling in the brain.
Hans Bishop, Juno’s chief executive, said in a conference call with securities analysts that the deaths were “difficult and humbling for everyone involved.”
Cancer deaths are decreasing worldwide, but new cases are on the rise as the world’s population ages and obesity continues to explode. Yet if everyone made an effort to get more physical activity, even just a little bit, we’d see those numbers start to come down.
By Ian Fairlie | CounterPunch | October 16, 2015 In 2013, I discussed several epidemiological studies providing good evidence of radiogenic risks at very low exposure levels. A powerful new study has been published in Lancet Haematology [1] which adds to this evidence. However the study’s findings are more important than the previous studies, for […]
Researchers from UC Berkeley have discovered a link between leukemia in cows and breast cancer.
