Lactoferrin research for Breast Cancer

Dr Geoff Krissansen’s study at Auckland University, aims to enhance hormonal therapies for breast cancer using a beneficial iron-binding protein. His funding of $45,000 will enable more work on breast cancer which has spread to other sites in the body — such metastasised cancers are still largely an incurable disease .

Dr Krissansen’s research may provide clues to the missing link to a cure, based on a theory that hormonal therapies for breast cancer can be boosted using a protein, lactoferrin, part of the body’s defence system.

Lactoferrin is the alternate cancer treatment together with hormone therapy that has helped me achieve remission from metastasised Prostate Cancer.  There will be more information in my new series of articles “Beating Prostrate cancer” in the next few days.

It is time to start listening to Andrew Bolt

Whilst more than 50% of the Australian population question global warming, the Rudd Government is being arrogant in trying to force an ETS scheme upon us.  Forcing through this legislation may well prove to be the governments achilles heel.

With the recent revelations of the conspiracy behind the Anthropogenic Global Warming myth (aka AGW; aka ManBearPig) has been suddenly, brutally and quite deliciously exposed after a hacker broke into the computers at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit (aka Hadley CRU) and released 61 megabites of confidential files onto the internet.

The publication of more than 1,000 private e-mails that climate change skeptics say proves the threat is exaggerated has prompted US Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) to launch an investigation into whether the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) “cooked the science to make this thing look as if the science was settled, when all the time of course we knew it was not.” [continue reading...]

Anthropogenic Global Warming may certainly well have occurred by events such as Saddam Hussein setting fire to every oil well in Kuwait which took some years to extinguish, Atomic testing around the world – in particular in the Pacific, and similar mishaps by world governments and the ‘big business’ that control them.

Speeches By Sophie Mirabella : 23Nov 09

Higher Education Legislation Amendment (Student Services and Amenities) Bill 2009: Second Reading (23 Nov 2009)
Sophie Mirabella: As the shadow minister for, amongst other things, youth I rise for a second time in this place to outline in the strongest possible terms the coalition’s objections to this legislation and to detail the reasons behind our opposition to the Higher Education Legislation Amendment (Student Services and Amenities) Bill 2009. Firstly, let me make one point very clear: that the introduction…Adjournment: Victorian Bushfires (23 Nov 2009)
Sophie Mirabella: I rise to speak on an issue very important to my electorate and to many rural and regional areas in Victoria. We saw 173 people lose their lives to bushfires this year. Two of those people were from my electorate. They were doing what so many residents usually do: staying at home to defend their properties. The February fire was the third fire in six years to ravage some parts of my…

Private Members Business: International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women (23 Nov 2009)
Sophie Mirabella: In 1999 the United Nations declared this day to be International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, and a white ribbon has become its symbol. It is very sad and indeed quite shocking that in their lifetime one in three Australian women will experience physical violence and one in five Australian women will experience sexual violence. The consequences of this violence, as we…

  • Petrol should be cheaper
    November 11, 2009 | 10:08 pm

    The Australian dollar is now at 93 US cents and oil is about $US78 a barrel.  At the current price of $A1.20 litre for petrol we are paying at least 25% too much.  What’s going on?

  • Taking a week off in hospital
    September 6, 2009 | 8:33 pm

    Tomorrow, I am to be booked into the Benalla Hospital for about a week but you won’t notice a difference because this web site is all but automated.

    I have been on morphine since my prostate cancer was diagnosed back in April 2008.  As time goes by, the body becomes immune and the dosage has to be increased.  The current dose is 100 mg both morning and evenings with liquid shots as required to manage the pain breakthrough.

    The objective is to infuse some other pain killer through a tube into the stomach whilst my body adjusts to going without the ‘Hillbilly Heroin”.  I have been told that it is not a comfortable time and that the side effects are a build-up of fluids and an increase in appetite.  I am genuinely not looking forward to the process.

    The Violet Town market is reputedly one of the best markets in North East Victoria and attracts up to 200 stalls and patrons of up to 4,000 each month.

    The market, held on the second Saturday of every month from 8:30 am – 1 pm, promotes and supports tourism and the social and economic fabric of the community. … full detail here

  • Too much sex in Wodonga
    August 14, 2009 | 9:21 am

    Well, I have followed the Wodonga twitters all week and as the can’t get ttheir tweets above the navel, I have duly removed that wicked town from the Twitter search and added Yarrawonga in its place.

    I’m sure those looking for sex tweets already know how to find them.

  • Sex in Wodonga
    August 9, 2009 | 3:49 pm

    On the blog pages, I have a column titled, What the twits are discussing generated from a Twitter search of the town names in the border area.

    Unfortunately, I will probably have to remove Wodonga from the search as the column is being overrun by tweet ads for swinging and sex in all its various forms.  It seems the border area is becoming a hotbed for fun times.  Todays listing is made up of 40% sex ads out of Wodonga.  Of the five Wodonga tweets, four are sex ads.

    I’ll leave it for a week and, if the ratio doesn’t drop, I will remove Wodonga from the Twitter search list.

    You may accuse me of censorship, but my blogs represent my morality and having sex ads automatically inserted into my work does not represent my moral standards.
