Health Notes: Turbo-Cancer; Dope

I took a mental health morning, so now I’m back in the saddle, so to speak.

First up, I came across two items at TGP that are worth noting. Both have been in the news at various sites previously but bear repeating.

The first reprises an interview of Dr. Harvey Risch at The Epoch Times. In the past we’ve featured Risch—he’s an epidemiologist with a speciality in cancer, an emeritus professor at Yale. Those two are a good combination of specialities for addressing the shocking rise in cancer in the wake of the mRNA injections—especially among young people. This is unfortunately not a good news/bad news thing. It’s all bad news:

Top Doctor Explains Why “Turbo Cancer” Rates Are Likely to Get Even Worse

Turbo Cancer, of course, refers to cancers that, for various reasons, are unexpectedly aggressive and progress far more rapidly than would normally be expected. Over the years medical professionals have been able to profile various types of cancer and, typically, have a pretty good handle on what to expect. In the wake of the mRNA injections many of their assumptions, based on long experience, have been turned on their heads. Excerpts:

“The idea that a new product like the [COVID] vaccines could cause cancer is not something that’s going to be observable overnight,” explained Dr. Risch.

“Cancer as a disease takes a long time to manifest itself from when it starts, from the first cells that go haywire until they grow to be large enough to be diagnosed or to be symptomatic, can take anywhere from two or three years for the blood cancers, like leukemias and lymphomas, to five years for lung cancer, to 20 years for bladder cancer, or 30, 35 years for colon cancer, and so on.”

If some medication—like a gene therapy mRNA injection—damages the immune system to varying degrees in some percentage of the recipients, it would be expected that, over the years, the cancer rate would increase. How much would depend on how widespread and how serious the damage to the immune system in injection recipients was. For example, if the damage wasn’t too widespread or too severe, the incidence of cancers might increase more slowly over the years, with blood related cancers showing up first. As we’ve previously discussed, smart analysts like Ed Dowd have focused on statistics that would provide some indication of what’s happening, and that in turn could tell use how bad the damage has been and how we should expect matters to develop:

Blood-related disorders are already showing up in the UK data.

Data analyst Edward Dowd shed light on yearly UK PIP clearances (payments) by body system earlier this year, using different metrics for 2020, 2021, and 2022. And what he found was hematological (blood-related) claims were up a staggering 522% above trend in 2022.

That’s obviously a very bad sign. But there’s worse:

But it’s not just blood-related disorders.

Cancers that normally take ten, twenty, or thirty years to develop, theoretically sped up by immune-suppressing COVID shots, could surface at increased rates in the long term, Dr. Risch hinted.

But we’re already seeing signs of this happening as young people, in the prime of their lives, are suffering from cancer at unprecedented rates.

…

According to Dr. Risch, if a 25-year-old develops colon cancer without a family history of the disease, “that’s basically impossible along the known paradigm for how colon cancer works.” He added that other long-latency cancers are surfacing in very young people. “This is just not the normal occurrence of how cancer works.”

A healthy, well functioning, immune system is what keeps these types of cancer latent for many years. But if proper functioning of the immune system is disrupted in a person with a latent cancer, the defenses are down and the cancer can run wild—become a “turbo cancer.”

“Because these cancers have been occurring in people who are too young to get them, basically, compared to the normal way it works, they’ve been designated as turbo cancers,” Dr. Risch added.

“Some of these cancers are so aggressive that between the time that they’re first seen and when they come back for treatment after a few weeks, they’ve grown dramatically compared to what oncologists would have expected.”

Dr. Risch offered an explanation as to why this is happening.

…

“In my opinion, cancer is something that the body normally fights off because the cells that get created when they go haywire — the immune system mostly recognizes and manages to gobble them up or disable them so that they don’t progress. But if you damage the immune system in a way that limits the ability to recognize or to disable newly-growing, deranged cancer cells, then that opens the door to them multiplying to the point where it’s beyond the immune system to cope. And that’s the mechanism, I think, that’s the most likely here.”

And now we’re starting to see attempts to mandate these dangerous injections once again. They want to make sure that, if you were lucky last time, they’ll get you this time around.

Speaking of stupid people …

The campaign to make rich people richer by allowing them to legally sell dope to less rich but stupider people—the kind of people who would predictably buy into a half baked ideology like libertarianism—began something like 10 years ago, and has progressing rapidly. The result is that researchers now have ten years worth of data involving many millions of people to work with. The results?

Brutal Marijuana Studies Now Emerging – It Should Never Have Been Fully Legalized

…

Now even the federal government is looking to loosen the reins and is preparing to take pot off its Schedule One prohibitions, a move said to be the first step in decriminalizing marijuana.

But now these states [the ones that legalized early] are finding that it is time to pay the piper, as a raft of ill-effects are spreading like wildfire all across the country. From mental illness to addiction and impaired driving, the effects on many are not as beneficial as advocates claimed.

… benefits are limited and are far outweighed by the deleterious effects seen when widespread use is factored in, according to a raft of new studies reported by the Daily Mail.

With a pool of more than 40 million pot users to look at, researchers are finding that recreational use of the drug is becoming an increasing problem everywhere it is being tried.

As the Mail noted, researchers from the Aarhus University Hospital in Denmark have found that despite claims by pot advocates, the drug is just as addictive as any other drug. And 41 percent of users have developed major problems with depression.

Let’s do a thought experiment. Suicide is often caused by chronic depression. Marijuana leads to chronic depression in a huge percentage of users. Marijuana has been made readily available to most people. The suicide rate has spiked. Nothing to see there, right?

The research found that chronic marijuana use quadrupled risk of developing a bipolar disorder and added to a rise in psychotic breaks, including thoughts of, and deaths by, suicide, with pot linked to 30 percent of cases of schizophrenia.

The researchers added that people who already have a propensity for these mental disorders often find that pot makes them worse, not better.

Ever wonder why we don’t seem to see toxicology reports on spree shooters, or they get hushed up? A lot of these dangerous people are on a variety of meds, but given the marijuana usage stats nothing would be less surprising than that most of these people are also habitual dopers.

That is nothing like the benign effects pot advocates claimed we’d be seeing.

Pot advocates also claimed that one can’t really become addicted to the drug. This has also been revealed as false.

“New research from University of Washington and Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute estimates 21 percent of marijuana users had become addicted,” the Mail reported, adding that at least four million Americans have developed “marijuana use disorder” since pot became so much easier to get.

Another claim that many advocates have made is that pot will calm you and make sleep come easier. This is also not true, studies have found.

Among other problems discussed, it turns out that smoking dope while pregnant is a really stupid thing to do. That is, if you want a normal, live baby.
