Chemo is poison

anne25penn @anne25penn (3305) • Philippines 21 Oct 09

First, this is a personal opinion and a personal experience for me. My mother has liver cancer diagnosed in 2007. We did the usual protocols prescribed by her oncologist and she did a year of chemo. But instead of the cancer going...

chemo

shantiquarian You have to equate the usefullness of the treatment to the stage at which the cancer is discovered. I have friend who never had chemo and are 10 yr survivors, one that wasn't diagnosed till the autopsy, and many more in between that were treated with either/or...

shantiquarian Your kitty is just amusing herself, cats are natural hunters. We had a friend that took a kitten from us and it got huge eating crickets. And you may think they are horrid but there are countries that find creapy crawlies standard nutrition.

Frozen food, do you like more fresh food or you like frozen food?

icesmile @icesmile (7160) • Romania 23 Oct 09

I like my foods fresh, not frozen. Freezing does change the flavor or texture. I know they are more convenient, but is it worth the cost, flavor or the nutritional value? Of course that is more easy to buy food for one week or...

getbrowser @getbrowser (1708) • China 24 Oct 09

Omniscient1 @Omniscient1 (39) • United States 15 Jul 09

My dog and cat get along to a point. My old dog and cat that I used to have would play fight each other all the time and then help clean each others ears and be extra cute. My current dog and cat go through phases of what I'ld...

katsmeow1213 @katsmeow1213 (28716) • United States 15 Jul 09

shantiquarian I have been clipping cat claws for years because it is more humane than declawing. I even do the outside cats that want to be touched and let in occasionally. I usually only do the front but if it is a cat prone to getting in to trouble with the back ones than...

Have you try salads that come already prepared? Do you like them?

ShellyB @ShellyB (5241) • United States 14 Jul 09

I have bought and enjoy everything in a package salad, they seem neat to me and I believe it is much cheaper than buying every ingridient for the salad. I recently bought Asian Island Crunch Salad, it seems very good to me. I...

shantiquarian 31 is a long life for a horse. Mine was 24 when he had to go. He didn't go easy either. His heart was strong but the rest of his body was failing. So much so that the neighbors called animal control so rather than fight I called the vet and the excavator. What...

Do you put the butter in the fridge or not?

mermaidivy @mermaidivy (15394) • United States 9 Jul 09

shantiquarian If you use it several times a day this is doable but if you don't butter can go bad and get mold. The butter compartment in your fridge door is meant to keep your butter safe but not as cold as the general compartment.
