I understand the desperation for a cure. it leads to magical thinking. I'll watch the 1st 3 minutes if you read this: Although Burzynski and his associates claim success in the use of antineoplaston combinations for the treatment of various diseases, and some of the clinic's patients say they have been helped,[33] there is no clinical evidence of the efficacy of these methods. The consensus among the professional community, as represented by the American Cancer Society[33] and Cancer Research UK[34] is that antineoplaston therapy is unproven, and the overall probability of the treatment turning out to be as claimed is low due to lack of credible mechanisms and the poor state of research after more than 35 years of investigation. Antineoplaston treatments have significant known side effects including severe neurotoxicity. Hypernatremia is also a significant risk given the high levels of sodium in antineoplaston infusions.[29][35][32] Independent scientists have been unable to reproduce the positive results reported in Burzynski's studies: NCI observed that researchers other than Burzynski and his associates have not been successful in duplicating his results,[29] and Cancer Research UK states that "available scientific evidence does not support claims that antineoplaston therapy is effective in treating or preventing cancer."[34] There is no convincing evidence from randomized controlled trials in the scientific literature that antineoplastons are useful treatments of cancer, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved these products for the treatment of any disease.[36] The American Cancer Society has stated since 1983 that there is no evidence that antineoplastons have any beneficial effects on cancer and recommended that people not buy these products since there could be serious health consequences.[33][37] A 2004 medical review described antineoplaston treatment as a "disproven therapy".[12] In 1998, three oncologists were enlisted by the weekly Washington newsletter The Cancer Letter to conduct independent reviews of Burzynski's clinical trial research on antineoplastons. They concluded that the studies were poorly designed, not interpretable, and "so flawed that it cannot be determined whether it really works". One of them characterized the research as "scientific nonsense".[38] In addition to questioning Burzynski's research methods, the oncologists found significant and possibly life-threatening toxicity in some patients treated with antineoplastons.[39] There is no conspiracy within the medical community to suppress treatments for largely incurable diseases.

You have a preconceived vision. let's talk about how you envisioned yourself as a young man. Are you there? I'm guessing not or you wouldn't be so whiny, resentful and vengeful. those are borne from anger and frustration.

I don't think anyone but you would characterize this as whining or victim speak: "my "sort" will be fine regardless." As a younger man, I pictured early retirement in comfort.

the big thing that you seem to forget is your failure at communicating through writing. did you see this part? likely did and don't care.

Isn't freeing convicted seditionists and insurrectionists enough "grace". Yale didn't remove the white trash from JD.

USAID is going to be down to 600 employees from 10,000. The state dept is also cutting personnel: https://www.notus.org/whitehouse/state-department-contractors-fired. So where are the people coming from to administer rice bowl diplomacy that you and rubio ostensibly support? Resist. We've swapped roles. Only difference is that I've stayed on the moral side.

https://www.dailydot.com/debug/trump-jr-accused-illegally-hunting-endangered-italian-duck/ of course, he's poaching migratory creatures for his own pleasure. like father, like son... -
I think you must differentiate between the American church and the Global church. The Pope has condemned many of trump's statements and actions. Many US church leaders have looked the other way or supported him.. Evangelicals were instrumental in his win. They'll get priority in policy. interestingly, anti abortion seems a higher priority issue than keeping poor, sick living people alive especially colored ones.

what changed little marco's mind? ambition and servitude. he was right the first time. https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/05/politics/video/kfile-marco-rubio-usaid-foreign-aid-praise-ebof-digvid I literally blamed him for not advocating strongly enough for vaccine use. why not be televised taking his vax? would have encouraged many maga dummies. The source of the COVID virus remains vigorously debated.

Cool. In a week or so, MAGAs have lost the Muslim vote( bye bye Michigan) and half the Catholic vote ( those who actually believe in “love one another “. Tough way to get there but it’s a long term win.

I think he meant getting cheated by the unethical autistic kids. what position would musk play in football? given his gyrations, cheerleader would be most appropriate.
