Ongoing Cancer Care Studied at UNBC Symposium

Saturday, June 23, 2012 @ 5:07 AM
Prince George, B.C. – A two day symposium at UNBC headed by Dr. Dan Horvat with the Northern Medical Program looked at ways to improve care in the North for patients who have been successfully treated for cancer.

The research team led by Dr. Horvat is trying to ensure that family physicians are better supported by specialty health services to provide ongoing care for cancer survivors safely and effectively. This will make it easier for patients to have the care that they need in their own community.

“Having the diagnosis of cancer and going through treatment is often a life altering experience,” said Dr. Horvat. “Ensuring effective, ongoing care is critical, and access to cancer specialists can be particularly challenging in rural and remote communities.”

The symposium’s research team included participants from across British Columbia and Alberta. As well, Dr. Dee Mangin, a New Zealand family physician, provided international perspective with an overview of her innovative clinical practices and research on the area of shared care.

 

 

 

This work links closely with the Shared Care Committee sponsored Northern Partners in Care initiative, led by Dr. Dan Horvat and Dr. Paul Winwood, which aims to improve accessibility to and the effectiveness of family physician and specialist services across Northern BC.

Everyone is free to think of me as a liar when I say this, because I hope I’m wrong… but what about the potential for exponentially higher cancer rates due to an ongoing event like Fukushima?

Why does our government not have ongoing public reporting on the radiation levels currently, so as to measure against future exposure? Why not informing on where the radiological hot spots happen from fallout events with contaminated rain (which is well documented as happening)? What about our food supply, why is it not tested and monitored for exposure?

We do know that we are the next population downwind from the jet stream that originates at Fukushima. We know that spent fuel pool #4 alone has enough potential to be a 100 Chernobyl’s and the other pools surrounding it have 10x SPF4 in spent fuel rods. We know right now they are simply pumping sea water on the spent fuel pools to keep them cool as the cooling system was compromised, thus huge quantities of radiation are pouring into the sea 24/7.

Shouldn’t good science dictate with a potential threat to our very existence playing out in real time… that we be doing our best to determine base levels not only for radiation contamination, but also for resulting cancer rates and characteristics so as to understand what is happening?

Hypothetically if an ‘accident’ happens that releases primarily ceasium isotopes with a short half life… and if like Fukushima most of the Northern hemisphere is compromised (people need to be held accountable)… a form of population control for those not lucky enough to be in the far south or underground with stock piles of food. Most of the world elite that are shareholders in the NWO have homes in Melbourne… the fastest growing economy in the world right now… they would know whats going on.

I wonder why we can’t be gathering data to make informed policy decisions as citizens in a democracy so that at least if our civilization is going down we go down with our eyes wide open and in full understanding as to our folly. If things turn out not as bad as we thought, than what a relief that we had data to back that up….

Time Will Tell

I don’t know why you think we live in a democracy Province while the Liberals are in power.
If they kept people informed of the actual truth of Fukashima it would cause mass panic.
Their answer to the whole problem is to ” build more cancer centers” and just treat people. It’s a great population control I hope you know. it’ll be 50 years before they’ll have the correct effects of this on going disaster. they’ll wonder why B.C. residents have the highest cancer rate than all of Canada.
Your right Eagle One Time will tell.
Lets just hope that we will still be here in 30yrs.

I am one of the patients who was treated last year with intensive radiation for cancer, hopefully with success.

Although I am grateful for the very compassionate care I have received I am at the same time profoundly dismayed about the glaring contradiction which is being overlooked by the health professionals in this northern region!

98% of the population of B.C. is now free from hydrofluorosilicic acid injection into their tap water systems regardless of how low the concentration of calcium fluoride is. However, HERE in Prince George authorities STILL persist in demanding that the 2% remaining population MUST endure the discrimination of having their tap water polluted with this potentially cancer causing substance.

I can not avoid bathing with the tap water which has been medicated without my consent. This is a very negative and totally avoidable interference with the functioning of my immune system. Nobody listens, nobody takes legal, ethical and moral responsibility and nobody has been able to convince me that they have any right to discriminate against me, because discrimination it is, plain and simple.

Let me have clean water! If I want to medicate it – allow me to choose my OWN medication!

“…they’ll wonder why B.C. residents have the highest cancer rate than all of Canada.”

Actually, Northern B.C. has the highest cancer rate in B.C. – it coincidentally has been artificially fluoridated for the longest time period and it is still being fluoridated! It is the only area left in B.C. (2%) which is still hanging in there under the auspices of Northern “Health.”

Prince George started in 1955, without previous consent of the citizens. Close to sixty years! No wonder the cancer rates here are the highest!

There are a number of coincidents. Some of it may have to do with water even – the lack concistent water in remote areas, for instance. Also a high rate of Aboriginals with poor social environment and access to health care, high accident rate, and the general population younger than average with higher rates of smoking, drug abuse, violence, etc. etc ….. basically different lifestyle choices or conditions than in more urbanized areas ….. and air quality in larger urban areas such as PG which some say brings the numbers up.

True enough! However, many substances which were previously considered to be harmless have now been officially declared to be carcinogenic and harmful. Research continues and keeps coming up with alarming findings in respect to water fluoridation. Thousands of scientists, doctors and dentists are urging to exercise caution and stop it. The WHO has just now declared diesel exhaust fumes to be as harmful as second hand smoke! Second hand smoke until not too long ago was officially not a health hazard! Guess what? The same thing is going to happen with artificial water fluoridation. Its effects are long term – although its short term effects are clearly visible as more than 30% of American teenagers have dental fluorosis, which is an unsightly discoloration and pitting of the surface of teeth. In Canada (which is less fluoridated) the rate is about half of that. If it can damage teeth how great is the damage to internal organs, especially bones?

Regardless of all that – why is B.C. 98% artificial fluoridation free and yet the remaining 2% (Terrace, Prince George and Ft. St. John) are forced to accept tap water which is medicated and polluted with hydrofluorosilicic acid fluoride, a poisonous waste product from the phosphate fertilizer industry?

Artificial water fluoridation is a discriminatory practice, it must stop and the fight against cancer must strive for clean air, clean food and clean water!

To take a polluted non-pharmaceutical grade chemical waste product and get rid of it by slowly bleeding it into peoples’ drinking water is a concept based on primitive 1950’s knowledge, lack of common sense and disrespectful of individual rights. Mass medication without consent of patients is something George Orwell wrote about.
