Absolutely true! Most cancers develop after a traumatic event or a series of traumatic events happen in your life. Learn to deal with problems on a day to day basis and give the ones which you have no control over up to God. He can handle them!

Hi Shari I just started reading all the posts about the drugs which I will never take! I do need your help . I don’t have a colon due to UC/Crohns (they weren’t sure). What would be my best course of treatment me. Can I be absorbing enough calcium with just the small intestine? I am 60 years old. Thanks in advance for your reply Pat

What is your opinion on eating bananas while on warfarin (coumadin) ? My doctor told me, that many
types of food, which I used to like very much, are not available or in a very small amount daily. Bananas are among them, and I “compromised” by eating only 1/2 yellow banana with my cereal.

Hi, enjoy your news letters on the internet,
I’ve had Crohns disease since my mid 20’s,at least that was when finally diagnosed, now 81yrs and just retired from nursing. Osteoprosis was diagnoed when in my fifties and have been taking fosamax for many years and concerned about this. Of course I have had my share of prednisone over the years which is one the contributing factors to osteo
Can’t eat fresh fruit or veggies without risk of obstruction. Now I’m concerned about canned products,I do eat bananas, not plantain yet.
Any suggestions.??

Appreciate the comments on beer and banana. I have a separate Q. A few of my knuckles(finger joints) look swoolen but I was told it is not inflamation and certainly not RA but osteoarthritis. The “swell” is hard…could that be bone spur(calcium?) due to injury or ???Is that an indication of calcium deficiency although my blood level of calcium is actually slightly higher than the normal range.

Sounds to me that you need to hire another doctor that is more interested in a “cure” for you,not a prescription drug that does nothing but block the pain temporarily,then worse side effects happen.

What did Actonel do for me? I am a right handed artist/sculptist before I took Actonel .After three months I had 2 fingers with burst tendons ,had a specialist make the costly repair and still lost function with those two fingers.
It has been 4 years since since I eliminated Prescription drugs and feel 99% healthier,with the exception of these two fingers.

When you ask the doctor about your last density reading was,he will always tell you your last reading was very good,showing improvement.In all actuality,he is reading the inflamation numbers caused by the density test….that fries your body.Do not waste your time or money on that quackery.Do as Vivian says,eat healthy and run for your life and stay away from prescription drugs…their side effects will cause MORE problems than you can imagine!
