I was flipping through the Yousuf's binder and came accross the section about research in the long term effects of chemo and other cancer related drugs. This branch of the Cancer center is funded by The Ronald McDonald House. That's McDonalds, right? <br /><br />They should do a study of long term effects of eating their food....they will probably find that those kids end up in some other hospital. I guess it's kind of them to fund in something like that since they help put them in there, ha ha!!Umm Yousufhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07850884607283417439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185861885938794375.post-49678419215534965992009-10-28T19:47:22.082-07:002009-10-28T19:47:22.082-07:00Oh my.... there just is no "great" way t...Oh my.... there just is no "great" way to handle this disease. And I just don't understand WHY they don't take nutrition more seriously. This goes back to the way doctors are trained in med school -- they are taught "treatments" and not "preventions". If they were taught about how to prevent disease, then they would be out of a job. In the meantime, registered dieticians and nutritionists make relatively small salaries. Dr. Andrew Weil is a pioneer in changing this aspect of modern medicine. His books are fantastic and he has totally different approach to addressing health. He does not discount the need for conventional medicine and treatments, but he advocates taking a more holistic approach to our health in general.
