It was me that made the so called 'flippant' comment, and I can't believe offence was taken to it. I honestly think this is taking PC a wee bit too far, but at least I've learn another lesson today about yet another subject that I can add to the list of being off limits.
I'd apologise to the person that took offence if I actually believe I'd caused any, since there was no malice intended in my comment I find it difficult to understand how it could possibly cause offence, even to a person that was in the early stages of Alzheimer's.

PVH.
Fair play, that's all it was meant to be.

Missed that the first time. That's good :19:
But I think you need a few more fishing rods in there to be representative.

CP if this is in response to my post, then i'll elaborate, if wasn't then disregard.
What I found interersting was that prior to the initial post mentioning cancer I had been reading the story of Kristina Marie Clark.
Here's her twitter message:
I am a 24 year old female living with incurable brain cancer, but am kicking ass!!!
https://twitter.com/Kristina88Marie
24-year-old Kristina Marie was diagnosed with a brain tumor and given a death sentence by establishment doctors. She decided to reject chemotherapy and treat herself with Rick Simpson’s hemp oil instead. After three MRI’s her tumors have shrunk considerably.
There are similar stories on this page:
The scientific evidence of the cancer-preventing, cancer-treating and cancer-curing powers of Cannabis.
https://www.facebook.com/THeCureForCancers
And as one commentator posts:
Jude Petrolah D'Souza:
All these years, So many of our friends and family members were allowed to die only because this truth was hidden from all of us by the Governments and Pharma Cartels. Please spread this to create awareness so we can once again help bring this wonder medicine back.
Hence, my question "is cancer a scam?"
Are preventional methods and cures not seeing daylight because £billions are being made by the cancer industry.
Myself, I'm highly suspicious when North American health regulator (FDA) bans the use of free prevention measures/treatments, such as the daily intake of ground apricot kernals.
Is it banned because they contain a small amount of cyanide, or because it cannot be patented?

Sorry McD, it wasn't you it was someone else - I got my initials mixed up. And just to show that I do have a sense of humour and that there really is only a very small difference between certain descriptions - it was for me a "senior moment" - which is a term I don't find offensive.

Yes because a football forum is the perfect place to be discussing a topic like that.

I agree IB, in my initial post I had doubts about posting:
"Here's a question, maybe not the place, however, getting to the answer could help a Forest player / supporter in the future:"
Then I thought if just one kid comes on this board, reads the post, goes home tells his parents hey, dad, there maybe ways to stop us getting cancer, then I would be justified in posting.
At least, in my mind, I could live knowing I had a shot at bringing awareness to means some folk take to prevent / cure cancer. Some other people in football are also taking this path of raising awareness.
Cancer battle backed by football supporters
A health awareness campaign fronted by Doncaster Rovers players has proved to be in a league of its own by helping dozens of male fans to get early diagnosis and fast access to cancer treatment.

On Oct. 7, 2003, the US government issued Patent No. 6,630,507.
Patent No. 6,630,507 is for cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants.
Who got that patent?
The US government gave this patent to itself.
The same US government that has been fighting the use of marijuana as a drug. Yet its own scientists were claiming a decade ago that marijuana had been effective against a number of diseases.
Here’s what three scientists from the Department of Health and Human Services said in the abstract — or summary — of their findings submitted with the patent application:
“The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroproectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke or trauma, or the treatment of neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and HIV dementia.”
Experts say that the potential for marijuana as a drug is endless. Dr. Gerry Crabtree, chief executive officer of drug firm Nuvilex, says it has even proven in tests to be effective against cancer.
“There’s enough literature in respectable scientific journals to justify examining cannabis as a possible treatment of cancer,” Crabtree said.

I'm going to pass on this but with the qualification that facebook is perhaps not where I'd be looking for medical advice....how about a link to an actual clinical trial with peer review?

Id think id rather take a someones personal account on twitter over findings from clinical trials.
You got to be fairly naive if you beleive they (clinical trials) cannnot be rigged.
Marcia Angell, MD, former editor-in-chief of the New England Journal of Medicine, agrees. He asks:
“Is there some way (drug) companies can rig clinical trials to make their drugs look better than they are?
Unfortunately, the answer is yes. Trials can be rigged in a dozen ways, and it happens all the time.”
You will rarely hear academia complain. Why?
Because they are aboard the gravy train. Dr. Angell:
“Columbia University, which patented the technology used in the manufacture of Epogen and Cerezyme, collected nearly $300 million in royalties” in 17 years.
“The patent was based on NIH-funded research.” That means you, the taxpayer, footed the bill.
Harvard is in just as deep. In its own dealings with the drug companies,
“a Harvard hospital has a deal that gives Novartis rights to discoveries that lead to new cancer drugs …
Merck is building a twelve-story research facility next door to Harvard Medical School . . . In Harvard Medical School ‘s Dean’s Report for 2003-4, the list of benefactors included about a dozen of the largest drug companies.”
Total drug industry worldwide sales are in excess of $500 billion per year.
At the end of the day they aint going to promote prevention measures and cures which do not allow profit.
