Diagnosed in January 1993 Ann E Fonfa lived with cancer for over 30 years. She decided to ‘let it slide’ and focused on ‘being happy’ instead, as she shares in this video.
Ann left us on 29 January, less than one month before her 16th annual conference takes place. She leaves a legacy of which we at Double-zero are a small part: Ann gifted us a full scholarship to the conference after we met in London last September.
As you know we are a non-profit. Our income is derived solely from donations; no membership, or sponsorship, we are all volunteers. We bought the flights, in faith, with a Black Friday deal; the 6 flights (Toulouse, Madrid, Philadelphia, West Palm Beach, cost just over 500 euros economy return inc. all taxes). We promise to learn from and network with many of the people featured on our extensive cancer resource, then report back to y’all!
You can donate here, via Stripe, (a Level 1 Service Provider, which is the highest level of certification for payment processors), with whom we have an accredited charity account. Thank you for your support – it allows us to continue to build this network and keep our resource free to all.
Does the UK Prime Minister ‘Fast Like a Girl?’ Rishi Sunak begins each week with only water, tea or black coffee, for 36 hours, The Times reported recently. Intermittent fasting is said to help weight loss, help you live longer, lower your cancer risk and boost your immune system. There’s science to back up the claims too: ‘A study published by researchers from Harvard Medical School in 2020 found that intermittent fasting may enhance the body’s defences against oxidative stress and increase disease resistance.’
Dr Valter Longo joined our site recently, his book The Longevity Diet is full of the health benefits of fasting too. Clearly ‘a thing’.
The world’s news focused on another ‘thing’ last week: the health of King Charles. HRH has been Royal Patron of cancer health and wellbeing charity Penny Brohn UK since 1997 and opened the original Bristol Cancer Help Centre in 1983.
“I have always admired the charity’s work to provide physical, emotional and spiritual support to people with cancer and their loved ones. When it comes to compassion in healing, the Bristol Whole Life Approach is second to none” he said.
The king has championed holistic cancer treatments for decades. May he receive the care he needs and it be a watershed moment for the myriad of treatments that so many testify to have helped them on their way back to health, to receive the awareness they deserve.
Fresh laundry – nothing quite like the smell… But, is it worth ‘airflow limitation, pulmonary irritation, and sensory irritation, increasing cancer risk, central nervous system (CNS) disorders, and even liver damage?’
Thought not. And some of the commercial ones do just that with some scary ingredients:
Pentane: Inhalation of pentane can lead to loss of consciousness, respiratory tract irritation, dizziness, vomiting, nausea, and headaches. 2. Linalool: This is a narcotic that is associated with respiratory disturbances and CNS disorders. 3. Ethyl Acetate: A narcotic on the EPA’s Hazardous Waste list associated with kidney damage, liver damage, and anaemia with leukocytosis. 4. Camphor: This compound is listed by the EPA as a hazardous waste that can be fatal when inhaled. It has carcinogenic, neurotoxic, and anesthetic properties. 5. Alpha Terpineol: Irritates mucous membranes and can cause pneumonitis, CNS disorders, and ataxia. 6. Benzyl Alcohol: A respiratory irritant that can cause respiratory failure in extreme cases. It also causes dizziness, depression, and low blood pressure. 7. Benzyl Acetate: A carcinogenic compound that can cause systemic effects when inhaled.
No thanks. There’s an article here that links the research papers showing scary effects and some natural alternatives that we can use.
Surge in children having surgery to remove rotten teeth screamed a headline in the health section of one of the UK’s national newspapers last week.
Toothbrushing lessons were proposed to tackle the issue apparently. Really? Is that the answer to the UK’s children’s teeth problems?
‘Figures from the Office of Health Improvement and Disparities showed that 119 hospital operations to remove rotten teeth in children and young people took place every working day last year. These operations costed the NHS £64.3 million for the year to last April and official analysis showed investing in prevention measures would be cost-effective.’
Thinking toothbrushing lessons is maybe not the most effective of ‘prevention measures’. How about educating parents and children on the consequences of the effects of sugary drinks/snacks/foods? Is it really a coincidence that the UK has rocketing sugar consummation and dental issues?
