Cancer is Boring

If you are looking for something fun and exciting, don't pick cancer. It's boring. You're tired, you don't look your best, and have a paleness to you that people don't seem to like. You become obsessed with your diet and treatment plan. What's more, your stories aren't interesting.

I was at a small gathering the other night and started telling of some of the exciting developments in my life of late. "Yes, well, I JUST got a great juicer on eBay for good price. I mean, the bidding the last day went like this..." The eyes of my listener glazed over. Then some chap who had just gotten back from Alaska started telling interesting stories about how rugged things are up there and what work he was doing for some oil company. So much for my juicer buying adventure.

So, looking for fun? Travel. Join a book club. Take a cooking class. Learn to ski. But cancer? I can't recommend it. Not if you want fun stories to tell.

Come to Prescott for a Visit! I have an extra room.

Come to Prescott! I have an extra room in the very nice house I am being lent while I am here, with your own private bathroom. Stay a few days, visit Sedona, take in the relaxing Arizona vibe. To each of my friends, please, come and stay with me for a weekend--I can even lend you a car to use while staying here. Fly to Phoenix, take the shuttle up to Prescott, and that's it! You'll enjoy this beautiful town and surrounding countryside. I will probably be here well into July at least. Yes, I have found my dream team of healers here. And I don't like being alone, and I love the company of my friends. (I get a bit lonely in the evenings, but won't admit it here. Not very "macho.") Email me at RCrayhon@gmail.com for more info, compadres.

Low Dose Naltrexone with Intravenous Lipoic Acid

I am hearing from many practitioner friends about the benefits of taking low-dose naltrexone for cancer. Not just that they have seen good research, but that they have had patients respond well to it.

Here is Burton Berkson, MD, PhD, talking about the benefits of low dose naltrexone combined with intravenous lipoic acid for certain cancers, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis.

Does anyone have any experience with low-dose naltrexone who can share their experience? Thank you.

Sylvia, in a comment below, rightly points out that naltrexone is not compatible with opiod pain relievers--you have to stop taking them when taking naltrexone. Not something everyone can do.

Love,
Robert
