STORM CHASING IN THE CANCER WARD

May 8, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Storm chasing without a tornado on the horizon? The storm in the cancer ward is chemo therapy that runs through everything in your body sweeping out the good and the bad cells. It shakes you down to your core hoping the good cells prevail. Not everyone is built for this particular battle.

JOINT REPLACEMENT: LEG BONE CONNECTED TO THE EDIBLES

April 22, 2022 by David Gillaspie

Any joint replacement sounds painful. From cars to people, joints gone bad are never good. A bad car joint affects other parts, so does a bad human joint.

CANCER VIEW: WEED FROM THE OTHER SIDE

November 26, 2017 by David Gillaspie

My cancer view had more weed hope later than sooner with DAG approved brownies. It started with a look for an alternate route for a cure instead of chemo road. What I found was a log of death in men who’d gone the alternate route instead of chemo, then switched to the hard stuff […]
