Rocky, hope you don't mind me giving my two cents also. To me this whole topic of cause is very interesting. As far as taking your friends advice, who's bladder is at risk? If you do take the advice and go with diet, and things go very bad how are you and your friend going to feel? It's a very slippery slope. As for the never any colds, flu, or other illnesses, I read an article on that subject when i had my first cancer. It pointed to a study that said people who never got colds, etc, were more likely to have cancer. Very interesting to me, cause i grew up on a farm and before having bone cancer at 45yrs of age i had never had a cold, or flu. If you think about it, a lot of cancers are from your immune system over attacking something. Maybe the same reason we don't get colds. It's something we don't know much about yet. I have talked to doctors a little bit about this subject, and they almost always say the same thing, "as doctors, we are so busy trying to cure cancer, we have no time to study the why". Still then and now I am surprised there is not a standard form to fill out that goes to a national databank for all cancer patients.
