Comment on Cancer Is Not A Disease – It’s A Survival Mechanism by M. Firestone

Another anti-science author who will dupe the gullible into their graves. I have worked in public health for 27 years, much of that with epidemiologists. I am constantly amazed by the dangerous woo that people will swallow, much to their peril. There is certainly a mind-body connection, but it does not begin to explain cancer.

Comment on Cancer Is Not A Disease – It’s A Survival Mechanism by D. Kelly

This book is in my opinion an invaluable resource for anyone with cancer. What a gift to be freed from the embattled victimhood that sufferers from cancer so often succumb to. I don’t have cancer but my late wife did and I would say that had she read this book she would have been transformed by it. This book restores power to the patient, something guaranteed to irk medical practitioners, and it won’t exactly bring a smile to the pharmaceutical company executives either. I recommend it to all my clients who come to Cloona for a detox retreat.

This book increased my understanding of what cancer really is. I think the author is awesome. He covered a lot of material and listed other sources of choices for cancer treatments which are natural and alternative.

Please read this book if you’re interested in learning about cancer from a competely unqualified source. This book is absolute nonsense. Ask a doctor if he/she thinks cancer is survival mechanism and you’ll probably be able to hear the laughter for hundreds of miles around you.

You must be joking. Cancer is all in the mindset of its victims? And a 40-year-old quote from a forgotten researcher (Dr. Hardin Jones) says what, exactly, about current cancer treatments?

The author of this book doesn’t know what he’s talking about: he’s not a doctor, a medical researcher, or even a low-level health professional, he’s a “medical intuitive”, whatever the hell that means. What to learn more? Just Google “Andreas Moritz” and read on.

Nicotine – not itself cancer causing, but it’s what get you hooked to cigs.

Also I think steroids can cause prostrate cancer.

I was so excited when I heard that Nike+ was adding heart rate with the Polar Wearlink+ Nike+ heart rate monitor. With such a long and impressive name you would think it would work on the iPhone. As it turns out, it only works with the 5th generation iPod nano. BUMMER! So I bought the Digifit Connect accessory and like the Nike+ receiver it plugs in and just works! I also purchased a Garmin ANT+ heart strap (much more range than the Polar ones) and Digifit’s iCardio app. I LOVE IT! Now FINALLY I have a really cool heart rate monitor application on my iPhone and I’ve been waiting for that for years! Thanks to Digifit for making this happen! I hear it works with the iPad too …. I may just go buy one now!

Comment on A Lifetime of Sex: The Ultimate Manual on Sex, Women, and Relationships for Every Stage of a Man’s Life by N. Berryman

This is a great book with lots of useful and interesting information. Every time someone comes over my house, they pick this book up and become hooked!! So far, I’ve bought it for several of my friends, because they wanted to borrow mine, and I didn’t want to let it leave my house!

You won’t be disappointed. Women will find this just as useful (if not more) than men!

You have to pay $30 a year for the app that goes with this. I found the software to be very buggy and only worked part time. It also ate my battery power faster than GPS! I returned all the stuff to amazon and got a refund, but iTMP doesn’t seem to want to refund me for the app. Buyer beware.

I wanted to start with the Cardio App, since I have a Garmin heartbelt, but no foot pod. I downloaded it from the iPhone Apps Store. It is $20 for a year subscription. It was easy to pair the heartbelt with iCardio. Then I launched iCardio and walked around the house. It picked up the heartbelt no problem. So later on, I went for a run. I had not set up my workouts, so I just used Quickstart. It logged heart rate, max rate, average rate, time in zones, and calories burned. When I got back, it was ready with a summary of my workout – and ready to send it to a website – except I didn’t have a website to send it to. I am hoping Digifit will have its website ready soon. I’m going to get a footpod now and upgrade to iRunner. -*-*-*-June 17 – I have now added a footpod and upgraded to iRunner right inside the Digifit app. So now I am recording both heart rate and pace in real time, something I can’t do with my Nike sensors and my iPhone. I run in a hilly area, so it is like doing a structured workout going up and down in zones. The data in real time is so interesting that I am actually running with my iPhone in my hand so I can watch my heart and stride respond to the grade I am running. I did not think I would like having the iPhone in my hand like that, but it is actually quite comfortable. When I am watching real-time, I find myself working a little bit harder. I am trying to get the highest calories per heartbeat, so I am very interested in what happens in each zone. It is also great to be able to look back at workouts I did a month ago and see what my progress has been. Can’t wait for the website to be up.
