A recent study published in The Lancet Oncology has found that men with prostate cancer are twice as likely as healthy men to suffer a blood clot, and those with the disease who undergo certain conventional treatments are at an even greater risk.

Gozo, I'm sorry for your loss, especially if it was due to negligence on the part of anyone treating your PaPa. If negligence was the case I hope you are able to hold those responsible accountable.
The fact remains that the treatment of any disease comes with some risks that require one to make a decision as to weather the risk out weighs the alternative. It is impossible to weigh those risks and make informed decisions unless those risks are explained to you completely by the medical staff. As a prostate cancer survivor of 8 years now I can tell you that the treatment options when administered properly suggest that the cure rate warrents treatment rather than doing nothing. Advances are being made on a daily basis in our approach to dealing with this and other human afflictions. Still it remains a roll of the dice in many cases.

#2 - Wed Jul 7, 2010 1:13 PM EDTMy PaPa was treated like a farm animal laid on the table for the purpose of experimentation without his knowledge or consent. He believed in the Medical Establishment until his cardiologist bent over his life supported body, and in an evil way, asked him if he was ready to die! Please the medical establishment is a fraud! And no....his life had no "legal" value! informaton surely known by his murderers.

Hi Gozo, thank you for the article.
I have always related to your general attitude regarding the medical field. They attempt to make a strong case with survivor statistics, yet how many of those would have survived anyway? We don't know. And how many of those, before or after procedures, are put on meds that only begin the process of new disease - it appears that the industry (all the way back to that snake-oil salesman) has always been about money and creating jobs, not actual health, imo. This is the primary reason why I am against our government forcing us to pay for health care insurance; I see it as a scam to make corporates wealthier, and the politicians via paybacks - and this has nothing to do with actual health care.

I have to agree. The worst part of my experience was that I knew what they were doing to him...I tried to intervene and guide him toward efficacious natural treatment, but he trusted the doctor...the liar, the deceiver, the murderer.

I want everyone to know so they can save themselves...they have no protection from medical fraud! I appreciate your empathy and sympathy..you will make me very happy and help me heal if you, and others avoid repeating this nightmare.

I wish I knew more people that thought like I do. Everyone I know trusts and believes in what their doctors (and associated referrals) tell them. I guess most people are too afraid to take the chance that their doctor might be wrong. ... For many, they see us as conspiracy theorists (or fools? -lol), I guess. I have grown tired of the argument, so I don't try to convince anyone else of what they should or shouldn't do; I don't want the blame, and decisions, imo, fall upon one's own conscience, anyway. If we don't do what appears to be 'right' in our own minds, then we are going to look for someone else to blame! ..lol.

Life is meaningless in this country...even the world... we are perceived as waste product. Most people who hook up with the gamesters...believe them... because they feel the same way about themselves. They fear their own bodies, use and abuse their bodies as a way to absolve guilt and ignorance.

Interesting perspective, Gozo, I hadn't looked at it that way before; but, I have thought about the 'waste product' notion previously, and agree.

It is very important to get grounded, love yourself, protect yourself, and trust your instincts. If that is foreign to you....not much time to catch up...get on it! It is in that state....that you will survive.
