The traditional diet of Greece and cancer.

[R.B.]

I am sorry this page seems to have stretched.

Does anybody know how to fix it. I have looked but cannot see anything that helps.

OH DEAR. I HOPE IT WASN'T MY LONGGGG POST THAT MESSED SOMETHING UP. SORRY. I HAVEN'T A CLUE WHAT TO DO, OR EVEN TO SEE WHAT IS WRONG...

RB, DID YOU TRY TO POST SOMETHING THAT ISN'T APPEARING?

Hi Andi BB

No I am sure it is nothing to do with you. It may be just the way it is displaying on my screen.

Thanks for your post which was interesting.

Hi Andi BB,

I posted this yesterday and it seems to have got lost or I made an error <img src="http://www.world-of-smilies.com/html/images/smilies/computer/attachment-190.gif" alt="Sleeping 8" /> more likely!

NO it is not you it happened before your post. Maybe it is only on my system. The pages are now too wide to fit on the screen.

More great news about OMEGA 3 / 6 RATIO for breast cancer! Thanks for that RB. I'm working on it.

I did have to laugh when I read the study on nude mice. Immediate reaction -- aren't they all nude? LOL... So I googled, for further info.
A nude mouse is a genetic mutant that has a deteriorated or removed thymus gland, resulting in an inhibited immune system due to a greatly reduced number of T cells. The phenotype, or main outward appearance of the mouse is a lack of body hair, which gives it the "nude" nickname. The nude mouse is valuable to research because it can receive many different types of tissue and tumor grafts, as it mounts no rejection response. These xenografts are commonly used in research to test new methods of imaging and treating tumors. The genetic basis of the nude mouse mutation is a disruption of the FOXN1 gene [1][2].
RB, love your recent discovery of moving doodads...
A bit of fun is good for the Soul. Thanks... Andi

This is an excellent understandable informative article.

Please discuss dietary changes with your doctor. Fish oil may cause blood thinning and other effects which are an issues for some.

This article may be of interest to your doctor.

Fish oil: what the prescriber needs to know

"The authors declare the following complementary interests. LGC and MJJ in particular have longstanding research interests in the health benefits of dietary ω3 fats. The Preventive Care Centre of the Royal Adelaide Hospital, under LGCs' direction, distributes fish oil for therapeutic use. SMP directs the Early Arthritis Clinic of the Royal Adelaide Hospital, in which therapeutic effects of fish oil are under evaluation."


"There is a general belief among doctors, in part grounded in experience, that patients with arthritis need nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Implicit in this view is that these patients require the symptomatic relief provided by inhibiting synthesis of nociceptive prostaglandin E2, a downstream product of the enzyme cyclo-oxygenase (COX), which is inhibited by NSAIDs. However, the concept of 'safe' NSAIDs has collapsed following a multiplicity of observations establishing increased risk for cardiovascular events associated with NSAID use, especially but not uniquely with the new COX-2-selective NSAIDs. This mandates greater parsimony in the use of these agents. Fish oils contain a natural inhibitor of COX, reduce reliance on NSAIDs, and reduce cardiovascular risk through multiple mechanisms. Fish oil thus warrants consideration as a component of therapy for arthritis, especially rheumatoid arthritis, in which its symptomatic benefits are well established. A major barrier to the therapeutic use of fish oil in inflammatory diseases is ignorance of its mechanism, range of beneficial effects, safety profile, availability of suitable products, effective dose, latency of effects and instructions for administration. This review provides an evidence-based resource for doctors and patients who may choose to prescribe or take fish oil."

Hello R.B.

Tonight I decided to go through this entire thread to read and try to absorb all the valuable information you provide for us here. And you kow what I realized when I finished - while my brain was swimming with information and my eyes are crossed you are an AWESOME BLESSING to this board and what you provide for us is so awesome. Thank you for all this information.

I'm still trying to understand it all. I'm not sure I ever will. I've got it down to eating my grains - more veggies than fruit - taking my tablespoon of Nordic Natural's Cod Liver Oil w/D plus my separate D3 tablet each day - my calcium w/D, my magnesium, my folic acid and working on the rest. Still eat more sugar than I'd like - some days better than others - but working hard at it.

Reading through this thread re-motivated me and helped me understand a little bit more tonight.

Bascially just wanted to say thanks. From my heart to yours.

I wish there was a simple - eat this eat that - don't eat this and that. I suppose there is but it probably isn't as simple as I'd like it to be.

You really are the best R.B. So, thanks.

Mary Jo
