    Cancer treatment basics

    Professor of Oncology, Angus Dalgleish gives vital information on a repurposed drug he uses for his cancer patients, given at a very low dose. This is Low Dose Naltrexone. Uploaded 10-06-25 Check out the LDN trust website for much more, https://ldnresearchtrust.org Naltrexone at low doses (LDN) and its relevance to cancer therapy https://openaccess.sgul.ac.uk/id/eprint/114135/ Naltrexone was designed to inhibit opioid receptors without activating them and hence used to block the stimulatory effects of morphine and heroin. It was noted that in certain patients being treated with naltrexone for an opioid addiction many reported significant secondary benefit when being weaned off naltrexone. This group of patients had chronic inflammatory and autoimmune conditions and reported improvements whilst using the lower dosages of naltrexone. There have also been recent anecdotal reports of cancer resolution following the use of low doses of naltrexone (LDN). However, the mechanism of action is unclear. Areas covered We review three mechanisms through which LDN can influence cancer progression; namely, (a) antagonism of receptors to which LDN binds, which include toll-like receptors 7–9 that lead to IL-6 suppression b) modulation of immune function in patients; and c) direct inhibition of signaling pathways involved in cancer cell control, including the priming of pro-apoptotic pathways. Expert opinion Considering the increase in the number of anecdotal reports of activity, there will likely be a bigger drive toward using LDN in the oncological setting. These reports support clinical trials of LDN in cancer, especially when given in combination with certain chemotherapy. https://ldnresearchtrust.org/angus-dalgleish-md-role-ldn-management-cancer-2018-conference-ldn-low-dose-naltrexone Major clinical evidence on the use of low-dose naltrexone in the treatment of cancer: a systematic review https://www.researchgate.net/publication/384236060_Major_clinical_evidence_on_the_use_of_low-dose_naltrexone_in_the_treatment_of_cancer_a_systematic_review https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14737140.2022.2037426#abstract Learn more about your ad choices.

    A threatening phone call

    ‘a threatening phone call’ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/11/08/how-astrazeneca-vaccine-was-shelved/ Uploaded 07-01-24 8th November 2023 In March 2021, The Telegraph was one of the first newspapers to imply a causal link between the jab and blood clots after Norwegian scientists suggested a possible mechanism. On the day we published the story we received a threatening phone call from a senior official at the MHRA warning that The Telegraph would be banned from future briefings and press notices if we did not soften the news. https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/medicines-and-healthcare-products-regulatory-agency From FDA to MHRA: are drug regulators for hire? https://www.bmj.com/content/377/bmj.o1538 June 2022 Industry money saturates the globe’s leading regulators. The BMJ found that the majority of regulators’ budget—particularly the portion focused on drugs—is derived from industry fees Another well-known Cambridge academic got in touch to complain about our “disgraceful fear-mongering headline” on the story, claiming that it would discourage vaccine uptake and cost lives. We politely pointed out that hiding the facts from people was not helpful and could also cost lives. The academic did not respond. In February this year, TikTok removed an audio clip in which I discussed whether the benefit of vaccination was worth the risks for young people, claiming it had breached community guidelines. After we showed that the Government’s own website acknowledges the link, the clip was reinstated. All of this shows a troubling paternalism in government, academia and some media outlets who believe that the public is not capable of weighing up the pros and cons of medical interventions and so must be shielded from the truth.

The benefits of the vaccines in preventing COVID-19 and serious complications associated with COVID-19 far outweigh any currently known side effects in the majority of patients. https://wchh.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/psb.1789 Google YT guidelines https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9891785 Claims that an approved COVID-19 vaccine will cause death, infertility, miscarriage, autism, or contraction of other infectious diseases https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/regulatory-approval-of-covid-19-vaccine-moderna/information-for-healthcare-professionals-on-covid-19-vaccine-moderna 4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use Hypersensitivity and anaphylaxis Anaphylaxis has been reported in individuals who have received Spikevax. Close observation for at least 15 minutes is recommended following vaccination. Myocarditis and pericarditis There is an increased risk for myocarditis and pericarditis following vaccination with Spikevax. Few days, primarily occurred within 14 days, more often after the second dose, more often in younger males risk profile appears to be similar for the second and the third dose Available data suggest that the course of myocarditis and pericarditis following vaccination is not different from myocarditis or pericarditis in general. Healthcare professionals should be alert to the signs and symptoms of myocarditis and pericarditis. Vaccinated individuals should be instructed to seek immediate medical attention if they develop symptoms indicative of myocarditis or pericarditis, such as (acute or persisting) chest pain, shortness of breath or palpitations following vaccination. Healthcare professionals should consult guidance and/or specialists to diagnose and treat this condition.

The resulting steam explosion and fires released at least 5% of the radioactive reactor core into the environment, Reactor core had 192 tonnes of fuel, with the deposition of radioactive materials in many parts of Europe. Some 350,000 people were evacuated as a result of the accident Five million people lived in areas of Belarus, Russia and Ukraine contaminated A total of 29,400 km2 was contaminated above 180 kBq/m2. Some 20,000 to 600,000 liquidators irradiated On 24 February Ukraine informed the International Atomic Energy Agency that Russian forces had taken control of all facilities at Chernobyl On 9 March the Chernobyl nuclear plant was disconnected from the electricity grid.
