Today, I remembered how much twisting ones' knee sucks. I was wearing wrestling shoes, tried to stop myself so I didn't hit the ropes, planted my foot, then my knee twisted and my leg gave out. It still ****ing hurts. In that moment, it was excruciating. I climbed up quickly, but it was torture to put weight on it. Also, I nearly cried.

I have a high pain threshold. I got my lip busted twice today, and barely flinched, didn't slow down, and kept doing what I was doing. I smashed my face into the mat twice, and was unfazed. Not to mention landing weird on my arm and bumping weird a few times in general, which doesn't feel good. That knee twisting though. Jesus Christ. It's pretty swollen, too. Nothing torn, or I highly doubt I could move it or put weight on it, but it is not pleasant.

Did it right in the middle of a sequence, too, and they knew something was up when I stopped. I like, never stop in the middle of a sequence.

I'm not saying to not seek medical treatment for f*cking cancer.. But using all options at your disposal increases your odds of beating it. Go ahead and suck the teat of Big Pharm, but some homeopathy on the side won't hurt. It's better than doing nothing. And it seems that we have a disagreement in logic over anecdotal evidence. SOME f*cking evidence IS better than NO f*cking evidence. I seriously feel like I'm beating a dead horse here. Say you have a fight coming up. Would you rather have SOME information about your opponent, or NO information? Say you're getting into the bath tub and have no idea of the temperature of the water. Would you rather somone gave you a f*cking CLUE to whether it be ice cold or boiling hot? What I'm saying is: SOMETHING is better than NOTHING. Yes, you have to be a big boy and use your JUDGMENT as to what you choose to believe, just like every other aspect of life. Voila.

I'm unclear why anyone is even talking about anecdotal evidence in this conversation when there is plenty of actual scientific evidence that homeopathy doesn't work. The very foundations of the theory have been debunked in fact and are based 18th century misunderstandings of how physics and chemistry work.

Sup bitches. I've been "enjoying" a few days in the dreary old Cotswolds. Our house pretty much symbolises why you shouldn't judge a book by its cover- it looks very nice but on the inside so, so many corners have been cut, to the point where you're seriously expected to pay £5 for Wi-fi per day on top of the £2000 or so the house cost anyway. Which is why I haven't been on until today when the need for some kind of internet connection to do my coursework and regain communication with the outside world became a necessity. See you all again on Friday, probably.

It's being discussed because there are natural cures for ailments that DO work better than pharmaceuticals in certain cases. Homeopathy was probably the wrong word to use, "natural cures" is a more fitting definition of what I'm talking about. Things like moringa and cannabinoids are easier on the body than pharmaceuticals and offer many healing benefits. I'm not saying that pharmaceuticals don't always work, I'm just saying that there are other options to explore.

SOURCE: UKCIA Research Library

"Animals treated for 10 consecutive days with delta-9-THC, beginning the day after tumor implantation, demonstrated a dose-dependent action of retarded tumor growth. Mice treated for 20 consecutive days with delta-8-THC and CBN had reduced primary tumor size."

"Delta-9-THC, delta-8-THC, and CBN increased the mean survival time (36% at 100 mg/kg, 25% at 200 mg/kg, and 27% at 50 mg/kg;, respectively"

"Delta-9-THC, delta-8-THC, and cannabinol (CBN) all inhibited primary Lewis lung tumor growth"

"Oral administration of 25, 50, or 100 mg delta-9-THC/kg inhibited primary tumor growth by 48, 72, and 75% respectively, when measured 12 days post tumor inoculation"

"On day 19, mice given delta-9-THC had a 34% reduction in primary tumor size. On day 30, primary tumor size was 76% that of controls"

"those given 100 mg delta-9-THC/kg had a significant increase in survival time (36%)"

"When measured 12 days post tumor inoculation, all doses (50-400 mg/kg) of delta-8-THC inhibited primary tumor growth between 40 and 60%. Significant inhibition was also seen on day 21"

"CBN, administered by gavage daily until death, demonstrated antitumor activity against the Lewis lung carcinoma when evaluated on day 14 post tumor inoculation"

"Primary tumor growth was inhibited by 77%, at doses of 100 mg/kg on day 14 but only by 11% on day 24. At 50 mg/kg on day 14 but only by 11% on day 24. At 50 mg/kg, CBN inhibited primary tumor growth by only 32% when measured on day 14, and no inhibition was observed on day 24; however, these animals did survive 27% longer."

Just out of the blue his son posted from his account that his father had passed. Terry never let on of his condition, so it was a shock to the whole community.

Here is his last contribution. I'll have to take it down shortly. R.I.P. brother.

SoundClick artist: PRD Collaborations - page with MP3 music downloads

Just so there's no misconceptions, I'm not on this I just grabbed it and uploaded it to one of my accounts on s'click.

Ah, Seger! One of my favourite songs. He does a great job. RIP indeed. Thanks Plankton. Is his son going to follow in his father's footsteps do you know?
