  dear all,.

  i've thought long and hard before writing this - which came about after linda (fullofdoubtnow), who is suffering from pancreatic cancer, was recommended alternative treatments to mainstream medicine.

  i believe i am in a strong position to know just how effective many (most/all?

  Ian:

  Little Toe can testify to the size of the tumour I had!

  I can testify to more than the size of the lump - I can testify to everything else that you've written here.

  You're one of the bravest men I know, and to be candid Claire is even braver. I love your wee family to bits, and I'm so pleased that you're still around to tell the tale, help others and to spread your love in the world.

  Modern medicine is often the miracle that we're looking and praying for, with doctors and scientists just as desperate to find a cure as those who suffer. We've got quite a ways to go, but we've come an incredibly long way with surgery, anaesthetics, antibiotics and transplant treatments. Previous generations wouldn't have been able to diagnose, far less treat, many of the conditions that we see today. Few of them are new, but we were just ignorant of their existance. Thankfully its now become rare for a Doctor to put the abbreviation GOK (God Only Knows) in a patient's notes.

  I don't decry alternative remedies as a supplement to medical care, for at the very least the fact that the placebo effect can work wonders and is now illegal to prescribe. Besides, I suspect that they can have some benefitbut not as a substitute to proper care.

  Meanwhile I can only underline your own attitude in such circumstances - "keep on fighting" and "enjoy every breath of life"!

  well that was an interesting journey!

  i just got home after riding home from a friend's house, where i'd been helping them with a little decorating.

  it is a clear and beautiful night, so i thought i would open her up a little, but neglected to look at the speedo.... ...until i hit a short piece of undulating piece of road and found the front wheel wobbling.

  I have to confess that that's not me. The only Speedos that I've ever worn have been black, and I find that well developed a six-pack ugly. Aside from that, he could be my brother

  Dawg:LOL - I hope you were able to go all macho and pick it back up by yourself. I can't think of anything more humiliating than doing that and not being able to lift her!

  Claire:

  You're not supposed to tell people about that one! At least I didn't shoot forward and pin your wedding tackle up against the petrol tank!!

  LOL

  While I ride a Suzuki Bandit at home, I also have a Honda CBR in the States. The first few rides with Diane (Xena) had me grimacing, until she got the ole thigh clench sorted. I'll take bruised hips over crushed wedding tackle, any day of the week. Man alive, she could crack brazil nuts with those thighs!!

  i was born in 1965, the same year that malcolm x was assassinated.

  my father had committed suicide a few months into my mother's pregnancy so we lived with her parents until she married again when i was about 18 months old.

  Merry:
  It sounds like your Turkish friend was as persistent as a JW

  A Muslim is one who submits to The One God, Allah in Arabic. It is anyone who has ever accepted the message sent from God to any race in any nation throughout all time by means of His various prophets, including Abraham, Moses, and Jesus (peace be upon them).

  So you're simply an excessively romantic theist with a penchant for mysticism, as supplied through a foreign language (Arabic), then?

  Muslims honor all messengers and all messages sent from Allah, but also recognize that the former messages were eventually lost or distorted. The Qur'an being the final message, however, confirms the former messages and was promised to be protected.

  ...and with a substitute set of Middle Eastern religious baggage and ancient texts?
