I can attest to that. I have reached the upper level of my tolerance to sugar and now break out in an insanely itchy rash if I ingest as much as half a spoon of sugar or one cookie in one day.
I hear you there. I get headaches and muscle cramps from sugar. The human body was never built to handle the load of sugars we throw at it today. Cancer cells LOVE sugar. This why insuline is used in chemotherapy. Get rid of sugar and cancer would be a thing of the past.

"Get rid of sugar and cancer would be a thing of the past."I doubt it.

"Cancer has only one prime cause. It is the replacement of normal oxygen respiration of the body's cells by an anaerobic [i.e., oxygen-deficient] cell respiration." -Dr. Otto Warburg

The body is constantly overworked trying to feed this cancer. The cancer is constantly on the verge pf starvation and thus constantly asking the body to feed it. When the food supply is cut off, the cancer begins to starve unless it can make the body produce sugar to feed itself.
The wasting syndrome, cachexia, is the body producing sugar from proteins (not from carbohydrates or fats, but from proteins) in a process called glycogenesis. This sugar feeds the cancer. The body finally dies of starvation, trying to feed the cancer.

we already have a cure for several types of cancer, but it's been suppressed, because there's no money for big pharma if the cure was made public.

Ever hear of Laudanum? A patented medicine that was widely used in the 1800s. It was prescribed by doctors, considered a very good medicine and was loaded with opium.

And it lead to addiction and to the loss of personality. I think that opiates, as well as amphetamines, should be left alone.

doesn't this just make your blood boil?
I've got a colleague who was diagnosed with prostate cancer just a few weeks ago. we are not the closest of friends, of course, but it is indeed painful to see him now that he is back after the surgery. He's only 35, and he's got a small kid, a toodler yet, and his health prospects are very gloomy even after the treatment he has received. I am sure that there is a cure for cancer, as well as there is a cure for AIDS. And think of all the lives broken by these diseases, and of all the people who have died, just because the rich ones want to get richer still.

Marijuana, while beneficial to people with glaucoma , is a gateway drug that eventually leads to users trying stronger and more mind-bending stuff. If it were made legal. many problems would arise as how to control the sales and just who could sell it to whom would arise. It is now and cannot be controlled, so how could it possibly be controlled if made legal for certain diseases? The answer is simple, it would never be controlled and would lead to a tremendous increase in its use and would only make it easier for dealers to get it into the country. Who would control the quality or quantity used? If marijuana is made legal, we would encouraging the use of drugs to your people who would use them because it would be legal. Making any mind altering drug legal is just plain stupid,

That's a curiously worded paragraph ironsides, you should provide a link, lest you be accused of plagarism. Is the last sentence written by an alien or what? Links please? Most drugs alter the mind and metabolism even ice-cream, now there's a gateway substance if I ever saw one. What's being done about it, SFA? Links please?

Sorry, my mistake when origionally writting this. What can I say, I was tired. Should have said.
"If marijuana was made legal, we would only be encouraging our children to use it. Saying it is ok.

"Making any mind altering drug legal is just plain stupid"
And it would be stupid, what more could be said about it..

If drugs ... ALL DRUGS ... were de-criminalized, there would be no incentive for syndication. Risk is inflation. Take away the risk and you take away the profits. With kids, half the attraction is in getting away with something. What are they getting away with if there's no risk? Controlled, there would be ways to generate tax revenue on base product. Crime rates would drop because the addict doesn't have to get up so much cash for the fix. Okay ... so there'll be people still use. There are alcoholics, aren't there? Hospitalization is less expensive than crime. Nothing is ever going to stop them - except a dried-up supply. No profit ... no supply.

It is OK, we should encourage children to use it and get them off as many of the toxic pharmesueticles as possible. It should be sown and grown in every corner of North America both as fiber and as medicine. Thousands of mind altering drugs are legal, many of them kill hundreds and thousands of patients every year, by a huge margin the biggest drug problems on the planet are the over-prescription and overuse of prescription drugs which incidentally are mostly ineffective.

Never said alcohol was good either. Why does anyone need a mind altering drug to exist in this world. I do understand a medical need, but a recreational need, No. Anyone can make a specific amount of alcohol for their own consumption, we legalize drugs like that and marijuana farms, crystal meth labs etc., would be popping up all over the place. Point is where do we draw the line. I say do not open the door with drugs, ban them other than for medical use.

I do not buy the reasoning that alcohol is legal, why not legalize marijuana. Why add something else that could be abused.

Cannot argue that, but that is another topic.
