Nimbinboy - I do think my daughter's cancer has something to do with Chernobyl - spoke with some Austrian visitors this week and they reckon it still isn't safe to pick and eat mushrooms because they are still contaminated. I know they sell them, I know the Italians go into the Alps, pick them and much of it ends up as export dried mushrooms. I do use them from time to time, but always have my doubts. In England I made similar observations, in fact a young relatives of her husband had cancer as a small child, just when Chernobyl happened. She is cured and eats mostly vegetarian.

Thankyou for the juice advice - yes, my daughter is using a lot of juices, probably would no longer be with us, had she not done so from the word 'go' - but the NHS messed her up something chronic - now the doctor who is head of the department tells her she is too late for one of the drugs on the NHS system (cost-free) but she can get it for her for £3000 privately for a month's supply.

I haven't given up on her because she is a fighter and doer - but possibly too much so. I am counselling her to relax and to become that wonderfully calm child she once was. But do children ever listen to their parents?

I, too mentioned to her that here in Australia Cannabis was being looked into as an ameliorating drug when pain became too much - actually I talked to her husband about it - they know and would know how to get it.

Re Cannabis: I personally cannot stand the smell of the stuff - it's worse than tobacco, but you all say it's less harmful than tobacco. I did know a long-term user at one stage (he was a friend of one of my daughters) and he had lost all ability to make certain connections when trying to make an argument, equally I worked for a Parliamentary 'Advisor' who had a similar problem and my trouble with her was that she had to write reports, but was never able to make logical connections or even conclusions - lacked the words etc. - it was always my job to do that - I was mystified, didn't know why she had that inability - one day she came into work happily and announced she'd found this pouch on Scarborough Beach and showed it off - it was cannabis - and asked what she would do with it, she said 'use it, of course' - I then knew.

Anything done to excess is harmful - but our species, and particularly our present culture is into excess, unfortunately.

I'm a tad surprised you think/agree the same regarding your daughter's cancer having something to do with Chernobyl. I've had this conversation with many over the years and I've pretty much been on my own with it but I still think it may be the case,

Totally agree with you on the dangers of excess and its this abuse that will get the best of us into trouble health wise.

Juicing poor quality fruit and veg would be a waste of time imo and especially anything grown under where the radioactive cloud past over, even 30 odd years down the track.. One good thing about living in a place like Nimbin is there's so much organic product around including cannabis. It is vitally important to keep those chemicals from farming out of ones system all together but as sad as it is the masses have very little choice but to buy the supermarket garbage which is loaded with pesticide, insecticide and herbicide and god only knows what else. Oh and les not forget god old Round-up, a flora killer and we have gut flora that some believe is damaging it. No wonder so many are crook but aye, BIGGA PHRAMA willl look after us, right

I find it very interesting with goolagoonya's diet as I have a brother in law who eats nothing but meat and spud, loads of black sweetened coffee, a slash of liquor once in a while and works as hard as a pit pony. He's in his mid eighties. My mother passed 18ths ago, had diabetes for 40 odd years, was strict with her food intake, copious amounts of unsweetened coffee, had a regular ciggy, bowel cancer at 87 and left this earth at 96.
I can only say that genetics must play a big role in an individual's health. Hey maybe it's the bloody coffee and here I am having just one of a morning at times............................ time for a coffee me thinks............ DOH!
