Although we are in the same boat sharing the same goal of fighting cancer, we are all very different, different in our perspectives, our value judgement, our interpretation to information around, and many more. As a webmaster of such an active site with thousands of visitors, Brian has every right to censor the content of messages especially on critical or sensitive issues. Somehow I think it may cause embarrassment or even ill feelling on the poster whose message is removed after being up for a while. I am not sure if it is technically possible that censorship can be done before any web link is posted and the poster can be informed privately if the message or link has to be deleted from the forum.That can make the poster feel more comfortable and respected.Just to add my two cents' worth.

Karen.

I am not going to get in the middle of this one again. I will state a couple of things for the record, and in doing so state they are my opinion which may not be shared by others. First, this site was designed to offer people with a specific disease a place to look for UNBIASED information, edited by some of the best doctors in the US on this disease. Second, the forum was established to help those who are searching for advice, support, and information, to gain it from others who speak from their own personal experiences and knowledge.

Hi Brian
Well said.. as a radio ham I had to keep politics and religion out of my world wide contacts.. this is only good manners when you are not'face to face' with the other person.. respect the other person's point of view and sometimes you learn more than you thought possible.. and yes I NEED to trust this site.. it is my primary source of information..
take care and once again thanks
sunshine... love and hugs

The chase for bogus treatments and the removal of those who promote them continues. Please check out the latest news story at http://www.oralcancerfoundation.org/news/story.asp?newsId=177 For those of you who do not regularly check the OCF news pages, they are updated twice a week with articles that we think will be of interest to our members.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for that link about Laetrile. I am sending it to a close friend who said I should try it, some people he knows have "cured" their cancer from the product...... cool

Cheers!

If you are living in New Zealand, be reminded that there is no selenium in the soil here so it is a good idea to make sure you supplement your diet with it whether you have cancer or not. Every farmer gives it to his livestock. An important trace mineral. I reckon you cant go wrong with few mls of organic flaxseed oil on your porridge every morning, either. Tastes great, some really good fats and it might be good for helping to prevent some cancers (probably not oral, though).

While I can't eat nuts at all since radiation, darn and I love them too, Brazil nuts are loaded with Selenium. Just three a day is supposed to supply your daily requirenment and I defy anyone who can eat nuts to stop at three. For those that can, enjoy.
