@RedPirate751 Hopefully at this hour you are out with Girl2 and in the moment, not affected by girl1 even though the date was a bit disquieting.

when you guys are feeling off (for whatever reason, not necessarily the same as my story here) do you pull back a bit or do you get after it again immediately?

Depends what you mean by off. For routine ups and downs it's good practice and self discipline to forget ahead.

For real stressful times in life, as in 300+ on the Holmes-Rahe Stress Inventory, you really should tend to your own mental and emotional well-being. Trying to stoically power through can become counterproductive to your health at these levels of stress.

This is something a bit at odds with ideals of masculinity, thus it's something men end up struggling to address in themselves, much less ever talk about among themselves. Thus it bottles up and if you try to keep it that way it WILL eventually lead to real mental and even physical health issues. This, no matter how strong and balanced you are during average and good times of life.

I will admit there was a time in the not so distant past when I was dealing with so much stress and change and loss, 550 level. At one point I found myself crying in the canned goods aisle at Kroger when Don't stop believin' was playing quietly on the intercom. Rather than try to bury and suppress this in shame, I respected it as a signal to find channels to release the overload of emotion, and to change how much burden I would try to carry by myself. This was a positive turning point and I was able to get to a healthy equilibrium smoothly after those times settled out.

The takeaway: healthy masculinity doesn't mean treating your body and mind like you are invincible and ought to be able to handle literally everything.

Regardless, chemotherapy poisons the body anyway, so what's the difference?

A useless analogy when very detailed differences exist between the two.

Chemotherapy is a Faustian bargain that targets actively dividing cells for destruction. It works because during a given time period, a greater percentage of cancer cells than healthy ones are dividing. It's a close contest as the LD50 of chemo drugs runs around 1.2 times the effective dose is fatal compared to numbers in the dozens or hundreds for common OTC drugs.

Laetrile's claimed mechanism is that cancer cells contain high concentrations of factors not present in healthy cells that cause the drug to liberate cyanide mainly within the cancer cells. However this distinction has not been supported by detailed assays during further research. Thus Laetrile indiscriminately harms healthy cells as readily as cancer.

Though this is far from my areas of personal expertise, the information I've gathered from sources I consider adequately authoritative suggests Laetrile's doubters are correct.

I have a great deal of firsthand experience challenging mainstream medicine and the facts and laws around alternative medicine, so mine isn't a naive or trust the establishment take.

Argumentum ad longassyoutubevideum is my least favorite way to study so no I have not seen the parts you asked about. If you know of any good written pieces covering your perspective I would be much more interested.

The Vortex — Four Books

And now, let's begin with today's Vortex...

But only one really matters.

Since Pope Benedict died less than a month ago, four books (count them — one, two, three, four) have appeared pointing to massive problems in Rome, concentrating on Francis' papacy but by no means limited to that. One book is from the deceased Cdl. George Pell; another is from Cdl. Gerhard Müller; another is from Benedict's personal secretary, Abp. Georg Gänswein, and, of course, the latest bombshell by Pope Benedict himself, published posthumously.

It is Benedict's book that bears the most scrutiny and examination because of the breadth of what it covers: namely, the vast crisis in the Church — not just the Francis pontificate. This is the angle Church Militant has taken for the last 10 years; that, despite the acceleration of the crisis that has occurred under Francis, it is beyond naive to pin this on him. This pontificate is the end result (the consequence) of decades of corruption in the hierarchy. This is what Benedict's book is about.

Benedict (who, remember, was the prefect for the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith for a quarter of a century under Pope John Paul) outlines multiple evils and failures, including what he calls "gay clubs" in seminaries — especially seminaries here in the United States. One of those he was pointing to was right here in the archdiocese of Detroit: St. John's Seminary in Plymouth, where, for years, seminarians were shown gay porn by the rector, who went on to become a bishop in Saginaw.

@MentORPHEUS

Laetrile is cyanide poisoning with extra metabolic steps. The flaw in its premise is that the claimed biochemical differences between healthy and cancer cells don't exist, therefore Laetrile's activity is not targeted to the latter as claimed.

This is issue enough, but willfully scamming desperate cancer patients and their families as certain proponents did is particularly burdensome ethically.

Interesting echo you've got.

Regardless, chemotherapy poisons the body anyway, so what's the difference? Poison is poison, aside for the chemical differences, strength, and cost, what are the practical differences for someone afflicted with cancer that Laetrile shouldn't be considered an option in their treatment? Also, I'm curious if you've seen enough of the documentary to be familiar with the claims Professor Ralph Moss is making regarding the Sloan-Kettering Institutes misrepresentation of the research conducted by the late Dr. Kanematsu Sugiura into Laetrile.
