Indeed.
I’m betting the sonofabitch can REALLY “smell the sulfur” now.
Me too. Ding dong he’s dead!
I’m not an MD, but it doesn’t sound good.
If you were particularly enlightened, you’d know about the causal link, in some cases, between mental status and physical illnesses. It’s called “psychosomatic”. It’s not completely understood, of course, but cancer is one of the big lump of occurrences in this class.
Try not to rely so much on what you thought you heard a long time ago and fitted into your belief system.
Never understood why he went to Cuba for treatment. Even if he didn’t want to go to a US friendly country, looks like there would have been better cancer treatment available in several South American nations than in Cuba.
Guess it was one of the ultimate political statements.
I didn't say, "I think I heard it" I said I read it. If you continue to link cancer/evil people together, you're plain nuts.
Cuban health care is actually quite good, as long as you are a party member or a cash-paying foreigner.
For the proletariat, forget it. You get sick, you die.
Google the words “cancer shameful”
Lots of people and whole cultures think like you do.
?????
It was addressed primarily to the person who is equating having cancer with being evil, he’s still at it, thought you might want to see it.
There are people and cultures that believe that having cancer is a shameful thing, it’s not “something I thought I heard once”, as he accused me but is very real. I showed him to google the words “cancer and shameful” if he didn’t believe me. Ignorance abounds, I hate to see it on F.R.
You’re obviously dumber than a bag of hammers.
“You think/saw sometime” - you cannot cite.
“Whole cultures” “think like I do” - I’m obviously nuts.
I think we’re quite finished here ;).
Actually, I’m just telling beardie that the mind can probably give you cancer. Not having a mind, he may or may not be completely safe.
My husband died of advanced prostate cancer after 5 years of being diagnosed and going through radiation and then chemo and every treatment we could find. The cancer spread to his pelvic bone/spine connection and caused him the greatest pain in the latter part of his days.
Only mentioning this because it sounds as if Chavez may have had the same problems.
Husband was convinced Dendretic treatment would cure him but only available in clinical trials to certain folks.
I think we’re quite finished here ;).
Yes, you are.
You will be “finished” after you have “the last word” People like you cannot do otherwise. Thinking “If I post last, I win”.
There are pages of references, all you have to do is google two words, damned if I will do it for you. The two words are “cancer” and “shameful”, you’ll find there are literally millions of people who agree with your thinking that cancer is somehow “shameful” and strikes “bad people”.
Go ahead, have your last insult hurling fit, then pat yourself on the back, saying, I win, I win.
I’ve seen some studies done on the onset of cancer and mentality, anxieties and so on. There are avenues opening up, but it’s early days yet.
Hugo has arrived at the lake of fire and the Devil himself is prodding his butt with his pitchfork
In the USA in the past cancer was covered up and viewed as a family shame. You did not want others to know. In Japan this has existed until more recently and I think is still there to an extent.
Cancer used to be much rarer in America. That is was unusual 70-80 years ago was part of the reason families would cover it up. Plus is was a spooky hard to understand ailment. It was viewed as being a reflection of your bad character etc etc. I am simply stating how it used to be.
Yep. There is now, as I said, some new avenues of research and there are generally warnings against too firm conclusions. But if heavy stress may induce onset of cancer (and other diseases, for that matter), you may posit that constant raging hatred may be a stress generator.
