So I went to my dermatologist who had successfully removed a previous mole. The dermatologist examined the mole, said he did not think it was cancerous, pointing out that we had the biopsy report from 2007. I countered that in the previous 2007 surgery the dermatologist had said he had cut out the entire mole. Obviously that was not correct or the mole would have never grown back.
My 2010 dermatologist said the 2007 biopsy report indicated all was not cut out, but as the report was benign it was not necessary to go any further, but if it would make everyone happy he would be glad to cut out the mole and send it out for biopsy. He removed the mole in just a few minutes and as I was leaving the office said, “We will call you in 8-10 days and tell you it is benign.

Eight to ten days later when they called, they reported the mole was a squamous cell carcinomas and should be removed. So here I was, going under the knife again. The doctor, nurse, etc all said it would be a piece of cake. No problem at all. I told them it was easy for them to say, they had the knife, I was the one getting cut. I checked with several other dermatologists, all said it should not be a problem, and they would do everything following the same method as the dermatologist who was doing the surgery.

It was a piece of cake. The nurse kept me talking all during the surgery. I felt no pain, other than the shot to numb the area, and the shot was much less painful than a shot given by a dentist.
Twenty four hours later I changed the bandage and saw the incision for the first time. I WAS SHOCKED! I had expected a small incision with perhaps four or five stitches. Instead the incision was a full two inches long with 16 or 17 stitches.
I changed the bandage every day and waited for the report telling me that they had good clean margins all around and no further surgery would be required. The call never came. Twelve days after the surgery I called, they still had not received the biopsy report. The day before the stitches were scheduled to be removed I called again. The only thing they could tell me was I was not scheduled for surgery; the only thing on the schedule was the stitches were to be removed.
I went to the appointment, a nurse removed the stitches, I asked if they had clean margins all around, she looked at the file and said, Yeah, you are good, no further surgery required.
Finally I could relax. Hopefully we have now removed all the imperfections from my body. ;o) On no, I have dentist appointment to fill two teeth tomorrow.

But let me get back to my original statement. I do believe most current liberals’ do not intend to be racist. But look at how they treat the Hispanic population.

The Liberals say come into the United States, you do not need to learn English, we will allow your children to go to our schools and we will teach them in Spanish. Why should the Hispanics be treated any different than others who immigrate to the United States? They are equally as smart as others. Everyone else learned to speak English and in just a short period of time they were a part of the middle class society. You see, the person that has the largest vocabulary in the predominate language of the country they are living in will make the most money. Everyone should know this! It is critical that the Hispanic population learn English if they want to live in the United States and achieve the American dream. For the Liberals to insist that the Hispanics do not need to learn English means they are not allowing the Hispanics to move up in our society. By this behavior the Liberals are forcing them into low paying jobs, such as working in our kitchens, motels, cleaning our dishes and making our beds. It is racist behavior.

Another behavior that I feel is hurting a minority race is the political correct name changes. It was best illustrated by a friend of mine, a fellow co-worker named Keith. Keith was a fast talking hip New Yorker living in California. In my opinion, he had really missed his calling; he should have been a stand up comedian. He was really good.
One day he was walking around saying to himself, “I am so confused, I am so confused.”
Those of us who knew Keith knew enough to keep our mouth shut, we knew was trying to set some one up and we did not know what his punch line was going to be, but finally some one asked, “What are you confused about Keith?”
“Well, now they are trying to call my son an African American, they called me a Black, my mother a Negro, and my Grandmother a N_ _ _ _ _. (Keith used the word that I cannot and will not use) I am so confused.”
It got a laugh, but it also illustrated the point very well. The Liberals do not want the people of the Negro race to know who they are! Personally, I would rather call them friends. But what ever they wish to be called, that is what I will call them.

It is my understanding that the NAACP was founded by a group of male liberals in the early 1900’s. Why would they do that? Did they believe the ‘colored people’ (Their words, not mine) needed extra help? If so they chose to ignore the success of many, for in every generation, in every location, the people of the African race have had people who excelled. George Washington Carver, G. T. Woods and Benjamin Banneker are a few in the United States that come to mind. I must admit of the three, Benjamin, 1731-1806, is my favorite. Many of Benjamin’s contemporaries considered Benjamin the smartest man in America when he was alive. Think about that for a minute, President Kennedy allegedly once said, on the occasion when he was hosting a dinner for many scientists at the White House, “There is probably more intelligence in this room than at any time since Thomas Jefferson dined here alone.”
Benjamin Banneker was a contemporary of Thomas Jefferson! Benjamin communicated with Thomas Jefferson, even once chastising Thomas Jefferson for having slaves and writing that all men are created equal. Among Benjamin’s accomplishments was being instrumental in the surveying of Washington DC. I understand there is a circle named after Benjamin Banneker in Washington DC.

Personally I believe it is time the NAACP changed its name. (Its leadership is very liberal.)
I would like the NAACP to be called the NAAP. For it is time all people worked together to advance.

That is what happens when you become a MXI distributor. http://mxi.myvoffice.com/jamesgmcmorris/

Jeanette Brooks, founder of MXI and developer of Xocai Chocolate has developed a chocolate that continues to amaze.

The new X Protein Meal is surprising even the doctors. You see, Jeanette Brooks is a diabetic. At one time she was told she would never live to the age of sixty. Now she is nearly sixty and looks like she is forty.

Over the last five years, while eating the healthy chocolate, Jeanette has lost over a hundred pounds and reduced her insulin from 125 units to 10 units. Now in the last 10-12 weeks eating the newly developed X Protein Meal, she has lost additional weight, but, and here is the real surprise, she has reduced her insulin count to zero. That is correct, 0, as in none!

What is Leukoplakia? Is it dangerous? Is it curable?

After battling Leukoplakia for over two years, I believe I am now more knowledgeable about Leukoplakia than most doctors, dentists, etc. I feel I can say this because of the number of doctors, dentists, etc that I talked to who did not know how to treat me.

The term Leukoplakia is translated from a Greek word, meaning a white sore in the mouth area. Mine was on the underside of my tongue.

Leukoplakia can be very dangerous; depending on what study one is reading, up to 25 percent become cancerous. Oral cancer, or cancer in the mouth area, once it starts to spread, is very difficult to cure, with a five year survival rate of less than 60 percent.

Doctors do not know how to cure and cannot agree on how to treat Leukoplakia. They do however; agree that sometimes Leukoplakia is caused by an irritation, such as the use of tobacco. My Leukoplakia was caused by a tooth interfering with my tongue. The interference was so slight that it was very difficult to detect.

The most important bit of information in this article is something that only two of approximately a dozen medical professionals that discussed or examined my Leukoplakia knew;  if a tooth is removed, the opposing tooth will move out of it’s box, (the term ‘box’ in this case is a medical term that two of the dentist’s apparently did not know). In my case the upper tooth had been pulled approximately 25 years earlier, over the years the lower tooth, without the upper tooth to hold it in its box, moved up and twisted in, interfering with my tongue. But the interference was so subtle that no one noticed the interference. It was not until after I decided that was the issue and had the lower tooth removed, (over the protests of my dentist), that I met a retired oral surgeon/dentist who told me anytime the upper tooth is removed, the lower tooth will move up and twist in, resulting in interference with the tongue!

This, of course would indicate anytime a tooth is removed a bridge must be installed in order to prevent a future Leukoplakia. Apparently the dentist who removed the original upper tooth was not aware of the potential future problems, otherwise he would have installed a bridge.

One of my oncologists told me his theory was the constant irritation causes the tissue to become inflamed, which eventually will become cancerous. He acknowledged it was only a theory, to our knowledge; no studies have been made to confirm his theory. However, that is apparently what happened in my case, for the results of a biopsy indicated precancerous tissue. Surgery, performed one month later, indicated some cancer cells in the tissue. Fortunately, it was caught in time, all cancer cells were removed, no further treatment required.

As an indication of how little the medical profession knows about Leukoplakia one on my oncologists said sometimes a high dosage of Beta Carotene would cure Leukoplakia. He prescribed 50,000 iu per day. Apparently none of the other doctors knew of this possible treatment.

One oral surgeon said the biopsy was very painful with a long recover time. All the other doctors who had an opinion on the subject of surgery said that area of the tongue had very few nerves, that the surgery would be relatively painless and that the tongue healed rather quickly. When surgery was performed a divot was removed from my tongue about the size of a quarter. The Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) doctor who performed the surgery told me the divot would fill in. I was amazed at how fast it filled in, as within 4 weeks the tongue appeared like nothing had ever happened!

The same oral surgeon said that if the biopsy came back as cancer, I had a 57 percent of a five year survival. That is a true number, if the cancer has spread! Not true in my case as the ENT doctor who removed it told me in advance that it was so small he would give me a 90 percent recovery rate. Please note that there is a difference between a five year survival and a recovery! As the recovery means you get well and continue to live your life.

Since the surgery, the ENT has told me I will have to find something else to die from, because this is not going to kill me. This opinion has been confirmed by two pathologists, a retired oral surgeon/dentist, and a radiologist.

Obviously, I consider myself very fortunate. I hope this will help others be equally fortunate.

My final advice is if you have a Leukoplakia, see an ENT doctor.

Dear MXI Associates:

Six weeks ago, we selected 50 individuals who wanted to lose weight by using a High-Antioxidant Wellness System. We have now successfully reached the halfway mark on this Wellness System Study. The participants selected filled a wide scope of categories, males and females ranging in age from 26-76, from different parts of the country, all desiring to achieve a weight loss goal from 20-100+ lbs. These 50 study participants have been following the protocol, which involves substituting two meals a day with the X-ProteinMealTM Replacement Shake, three pieces of XocaiTM chocolate and other healthy snacks, and a high-protein/complex carbohydrate meal for a total of 1,200 calories for women and 1,500 calories for men. The program includes walking or other forms of exercise, drinking water, sleeping 7-8 hours per day, keeping a food dairy, and participating in a weekly accountability call.
We are excited to report at the halfway point of this 12-week study the total weight loss of the 50 participants is nearly 1,000 pounds—half a ton! That’s a lot of extra weight no longer being carried around! The really exciting news is they are full of energy, have no muscle aches, no longer experience carbohydrate cravings, and feel better than they have ever felt. They are even having a hard time consuming the required daily calories because
they feel full and have no hunger. Everyone is losing weight and abdominal inches without even feeling like they’re on a diet. When asked if they would stop the protein shakes, their response is they “could not live without it.” When they look over their previous dieting experiences and food intake, they realize why they were gaining and not losing weight. By recording and reporting their total daily calorie intake, they’ve had great success in controlling their calorie intake and remaining compliant with the weightloss
protocol. The shakes provide the necessary proteins, fats, carbohydrates, fiber, and vitamin and minerals, which give the participants two nutrient-rich meals and helps them avoid the consumption of empty calories. To date, not a single participant has dropped out of the study, which is unheard of in clinical studies. The participants are ecstatic with the success they are experiencing.
This is a very simple system that can be utilized by anyone. Results in the past six weeks have supported the principles of this system:
1. Use of a protein shake with cocoa and complex carbohydrates reduces the
normal pain in the body usually experienced after vigorous exercise.
2. Increased levels of omega 3 assist in weight loss.
3. Whey protein isolate is very effective in weight loss.
4. Reporting to an interactive web page or participating in a weekly call increases compliance.
5. Socially interactive programs maximize weight loss.
We feel this is truly the first weight loss system that leads to maximal success!
We know you may not reach the “perfect” BMI, but we know you will feel better than before and maximize your health. We have had reports of increased hair growth, smoother skin, decreased depression, and unbounded energy! Prior to the study, some participants were consuming over 2,500 calories per day. Now, several report having a hard time consuming the required 1,200 or 1,500 calories per day that are needed in order to lose, as any less may result in weight gain. When have you ever been told to eat in order to lose weight? Several participants report they are now able to walk with their spouses, and other people are noticing and acknowledging their weight loss. The satisfaction of others seeing your body transform is priceless! The k ey to this system is the high antioxidant power of chocolate combined with other antioxidant fruits. Over 50,000 total ORACfn and 1,200 mg of flavonoids are provided per shake. The synergistic power of whey protein isolate, fiber, minimal sugars, complex carbohydrates, and vitamins and minerals with the high-antioxidant mix is amazing!
Chocolate is a miracle food and its benefits are numerous.
The X-ProteinMeal™ Replacement Shake, the newest product to join the Xoçai™ Healthy Chocolate Family will be available for pre-order on August 2, 2010 at 12:01a.m. E.S.T. Shipping to North America will begin August 16, 2010.
We are confident by following this wellness system you will be successful and able to achieve your weight-loss goals. It is up to you to start the program and become the person you have always wanted to be. We wish you the best in your wellness efforts and know this system will help you.
With great success to you,
Mike Kennedy, M.D. Steven Warren MD DPA
Your partners in obtaining and maximizing your wellness dreams.

Most people drop out of MLM within 2 years; of those who stay in over 10 years, at the 10 year mark over 90 percent are earning over 1 Million dollars per year. I am looking for those who are interested in the 10 year plan.

About April-May of 2008 I had just finished eating a chewable vitamin C when my tongue started to burn. Thinking I had a piece of vitamin C stuck under my tongue I drank some water and the burning stopped. However, for the next several weeks my tongue was very sensitive to rough textured food, or spicy food. I also noticed that there was a white area on the under side of my tongue.
By October of 2008, when I went to my oncologist for my regular check up, I had forgotten about the white spot until he asked if there was anything unusual going on. I told him about the white spot, he looked at it, said it was not precancerous, but we should watch it. He said about the only thing I could do was eat 35,000 to 50,000 IU of Beta Carotene per day, sometimes that would help. He also said it was possible that it was a vitamin C burn, not likely, but possible, and that it did look like a burn.
Knowing that heavy doses of beta carotene in supplement form, was not real good, I ate one 25,000 IU every other day and 50,000 IU every other day. I also ate a great deal of pumpkin, cantaloupe, etc.
In February 2009, I went back to my oncologist for another regular check up; the white spot was still on my tongue. My oncologist told me it was a leukoplakia, and said it was unusual for them to stay on the tongue for as long as it had been on my tongue. (At this time let me say that I have a great deal of respect for my oncologist. I think he is very good and very capable.)
However, I felt I should learn a little more about leukoplakia. Searching WebMD and the Mayo Clinic web site I learned that one should see their dentist with leukoplakia because any rough spot, tooth, filling, etc, could cause a leukoplakia. Removal of the cause would generally cause the leukoplakia to go away in 8-10 weeks. I also learned that depending on what study one was reading, about 3 to 25 percent became cancerous.
I went to my dentist who suggested I see an Oral Surgeon. From my reading on different web sites I knew an Oral Surgeon could remove the leukoplakia with a brush or laser, or he could remove some for a biopsy.
When the Oral Surgeon looked at the leukoplakia the conversation went something like this;
“What do you think?” I asked.
“I think we should get a biopsy.” He answered.
“What does that entail?”
“We cut a small sliver out of your tongue and send it off to get chopped up and see if it is cancerous.”
“But my oncologist has said it is not precancerous.”
“I am not sure of that diagnoses’.” He answered.
“It appears to me that the white spot is not as large or as bright as it was before.” I said.
“It could appear that way, but still not really be the case.” He answered.
“How much will you cut out?”
“About half. It is a painful operation with a long and painful recovery, because it is a muscle that is used all the time.”
I assumed he meant half the spot, not half my tongue. But even this did not make a lot of sense, why take out only half?
“What are the chances of cure, if it is cancer?” I asked.
“Not real good. We have about a 50-60 percent recovery rate.”
It has been decades since I played poker. But the first thought the popped into my head was, ‘If I were playing poker that would be a losing hand.’
He wanted to cut my tongue and he gave himself a little better than 50-50 change of total cure, and this is after a very good oncologist has said, it is not precancerous, eat 35,000 to 50,000 IU of beta carotene per day, maybe it will go away. Further more, statistically, worse case, there was a 75 percent chance that it was not cancer, and would never become cancer! As I have said before, any time a doctor says there is no known cure; he is only expressing the limit of his knowledge. This surgeon apparently only knew how to use a knife; he only had one tool in his arsenal.
I said, “I think I will pass.” I did not say it, but did think, ‘What ever happened to the, do no harm?’
He said, “Well if you do not feel comfortable, that’s OK. But you best move quickly, it could be real bad in six weeks.”
I said, “I have done a lot of research on this, I do not believe you can cure cancer with a knife. All you doctors are the same, if you are a surgeon, you want to cut, if you are a radiologist, you want to burn it out, and it is always, another six weeks you could be in real trouble.”

I wonder how many others have been rushed into surgery.

When I got home my Seven-Day Adventist neighbor asked, “How did it go?”
I told her, and she said, “You know, I was just reading today, that if you have a sore in your mouth, drink Aloe Vera juice.”

Sure beats having some cut happy doctor cutting out my tongue.

This Toastmasters club had some unique characteristics, one – it was an all male club, and two- even by Silicon Valley standards, many of the club were quite affluent. One of the members, by all account the most affluent of the club, recounted a life experience that he credited for much of his success.

He said he was on a construction site of a multi-story building and opened a door to walk from one room to another, thinking the room behind the door was on the same level as the room he was leaving. Instead he fell eighteen feet to a concrete slab. The fall nearly killed him. But he recovered with a different attitude.

From that day on, if he had two or three different projects that he was interested in doing, but was having a difficult time making a decision as to which project to attempt, he just decided not to make that decision and did them all!

I have found this to be a very liberating and exciting attitude. It is also amazing what one can accomplish once one has this attitude.

This brings up a very interesting point. At my last doctors appointment my doctor told of a case that a woman had a spot on her lung. The radiologist suggested a series of CT scans over a 2 1/2 year period, at the end of the period there was no change in the size of the spot so the radiologist gave her a clean bill of health. Less than six months later the lady was back with inoperable lung cancer. Her son asked if it was possible that the number of tests caused the cancer. My doctor felt that was a possibility.

For this reason, I suggested a PET scan. My current doctor, a very good MD, who does not treat cancer patients, said he did not have a great deal of faith in PET scans. He did not feel they were ready for prime time and only orders them if suggested by the radiologist. As a result he only sees one or two PET scans per year.

Which brings up a another interesting point, my second oncologist, a very good oncologist, who treats cancer patients all the time, sees hundreds of PET scans each year, thinks the PET scan is an excellent tool. This is the same oncologist that ordered the PET scan five years ago.

So we now have a situation where a mass, identified over five years ago by an excellent oncologist as being cancer free, is now being questioned by an MD who does not treat cancer patients, who wants to keep performing tests to identify if it is cancerous.

My current doctor says there are no right or wrong answers, it is just a decision that I must make.

 What decision would you make?
