Positive news

[Chris]

To try and get away from the doom and gloom, thought I’d maybe make a thread for posting more uplifting or positive news, as there is still plenty of great stuff happening in the world and it’s easy to forget that sometimes.


I start with this interesting piece of scientific news:

Frog gut bacterium eliminates cancer tumors in mice with a single dose

A bacterium from the intestines of Japanese tree frogs has "exhibited remarkably potent" tumor-killing abilities when administered intravenously, outperforming current standard therapies and paving the way for an entirely new approach to treating cancer.

Well, some of our new girls have started laying. I don't think it made the national headlines, but positive news all the same.

Using a custom made blend of essential oils my girlfriend has managed shrink a cancerous growth which was so bad it had begun to eat into the jaw bone of a friends dog. The vet said it would need to be to be operated on under general anesthetic but luckily there was a delay with the operation which gave us enough time to try essential oils first. Now just one week later the growth has shrunk to less than half the size without needing surgery. Another week or two and it will probably be gone altogether at this rate. One very happy owner and more importantly a very happy dog too.

If it does indeed eliminate Cancer cells or cancer causing cells, then thats brilliant.... And then you'll never hear about it again. Too much money to be made in cancer research, than to do the unthinkable and actually apply a cure, for the companies receiving said funds. I've heard several such stories over the years....and here's another. Is it true> It might be. Will it be available to every one... i hope so. Will it/is it really though....I'm sceptical based on previous claims. I genuinely hope to be proven wrong though. Might restore my faith in humanity somewhat.

Essential oils (together with natural diet and holistic medicines) have been healing a wide range of illnesses, including shrinking tumors in people for millennia. I've personally witnessed more successes than I could count over the past twenty odd years. Things so amazing you wouldn't believe if you haven't seen them with your own eyes. They are already available to everyone too but your doctor won't tell you about them. However there are fully qualified essential oil practitioners around if you look yourself.

Would it be possible to keep this as positive news rather than getting into controversial stuff please?

I am really glad to hear the dog and person involved are doing well, but let’s not take it down what I think we all know to be a controversial line of discussion around pharmaceuticals and theories surrounding that.

Indeed.

I welcome the sentiment Chris
It feels, particularly at the moment, we are surrounded by negative news. It's nice to see a positive side to things.

My news is I went to see the Chiropractor a couple of weeks ago and my back, shoulder and arm are feeling much better now.

The tree is up and decorated, the shopping's done, the slow gin is bottled, the logs are stacked, and the drinks fridge is stocked - bring it on

My wife and I are now past a couple of weeks of flu and should be able to drive down to the rest of the family for a few days starting Christmas Eve. We are incredibly behind with everything, but getting time with family is the important thing!

Also reached my weight loss goal for the year, 32kg (just over 5 stone) down and back comfortably within the healthy BMI range again. I suppose a shout-out is owed to my last minute sponsor Influenza for losing that last kilo...

This ^^^^^^^^^

Plus (today)
Outfall cleared (again)
Drive cleared of this years rotted leaves and associated mud so house can be approached without wellies and family can park for gathering.

Dodgy heating fixed yesterday.
Full load of heating oil delivered today.

Cocoa in hand and it’s the wife’s turn to cook dinner tonight.

Anticipating cherry vanilla rum.

The house is ready to rock Christmas.

Edited to add a thought:
If I put cherry vanilla Kraken into my cocoa have I got a Black Forest gargle?

My wife says do it! Apparently it's the best way to have hot chocolate.
