Cancer - Pray for the Cure

A loved one has cancer 

Cancer is ubiquitous and can affect any of us, today or tomorrow.

If you live long enough, there is a good chance that you may get cancer. We all know numerous loved ones who have died of cancer or who are suffering from it. 

It has been postulated that almost all men, also if they live long enough, will have some sort of prostate cancer. 

You can get cancer in any part of the body from the lungs to the skin. Some of it is treatable and some not. Years ago, I personally knew a man who had cancer of the "hand". Can you believe that? The doctors where he lived were going to amputate his hand in order to save his life. He went to a foreign country and got further medical advice and treatment and in the end, he saved his hand and his life. However, the fact that he got cancer in his hand, in the first place, is odd and disturbing to say the least. 

Does the answer lie in the Rainforest?
How will we know if we don't do the
research?

We need billions of dollars to be put into Cancer research and now, not 100 years from now. Recently dandelion root was put forward by some researchers as a possible cure for leukemia and other cancers. I read decades ago that "the cure for cancer lies in the rain forests of the Amazon." And that many herbs, grasses, plants, barks, roots and other organic compounds found in plants are the answer.

This may or may not be true - but how will we ever know, if we don't do the research? 

However, there is no money for medical research. The governments of the world spend all of their money on war related activities. 

Recent North Korea
Rocket Launch

Military budgets go into the thousands of billions of dollars per year. Some examples are:

The U.S.A. - 685 Billion dollars

God help us to evolve
from this.

China - 114 Billion dollars
France - 61 Billion dollars
U.K. - 57 Billion dollars
Russia - 52 Billion dollars
Japan - 51 Billion dollars

And so on, ad infinitum. Even good old Switzerland, the "Neutral Country", spends 4 Billion dollars per year on military issues. 

Countries like North Korea and India, who don't have a pot to piss in, are experimenting with nuclear capabilities, bombs, and rockets to the moon. They do this in the starving time of their citizens. 

We are still in the caveman era, bashing each other over the head with clubs, and spending all of our money to do it. 

Pray for a cure for cancer. Amen.

God help us. God save us from ourselves. Amen.
