Company Recalls Sunscreen Product After Detecting Cancer-Causing Chemical

/0 Comments/in , /by

The maker of Banana Boat sunscreen announced on Friday it has voluntarily recalled three batches of its Hair & Scalp Sunscreen Spray SPF 30 after finding some samples of the product contained trace levels of a cancer-causing chemical.

Edgewell Personal Care Company, which submitted the announcement to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, said an internal review reported that some product samples contained a human carcinogen known as benzene. The batches were set to expire in December 2022, February 2023, and April 2024.

“Importantly, no other batches of Hair & Scalp (either before or after the impacted production batches) and no other Banana Boat products are in the scope of this recall and may continue to be used by consumers safely and as intended,” an Edgewell spokesperson told NPR. “We are conducting this voluntary recall out of an abundance of caution.”

The manufacturer said the review showed that unexpected levels of benzene came from the propellant that sprays the product out of the can. However, Edgewell officials said Banana Boat products do not contain such chemicals.

“Exposure to benzene can occur by inhalation, orally, and through the skin, and it potentially can result in cancers including leukemia and blood cancer of the bone marrow and blood disorders which can be life-threatening,” Edgewell officials said. “Benzene is ubiquitous in the environment,” the statement reads. “Humans around the world have daily exposures to it indoors and outdoors from multiple sources.” (Read more from “Company Recalls Sunscreen Product After Detecting Cancer-Causing Chemical” HERE)

Does the President Have Cancer? Biden: ‘I and So D**n Many Other People I Grew up With Have Cancer’; Here’s How the WH Is Covering Up His Gaffe (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. President Joe Biden indicated that he has cancer, during an alarming speech delivered on Wednesday to promote clean energy.

The president spoke at the site of a shuttered coal plant in Massachusetts, vowing that one day, it would be the site of clean energy programs fueled by windmills off of the East coast. . .

He recalled how after the first frost, residents of Claymont had to turn on the windshield wipers to get the oil slick off the windshields of their cars because of the pollution.

“That’s why I and so damn many other people I grew up with have cancer,” Biden continued. “And why … for the longest time, Delaware had the highest cancer rate in the nation.”

It is unclear what Biden was referring to. He has repeatedly tried to sympathize with cancer patients recalling that his son Beau Biden died of cancer at the age of 46. (Read more from “Does the President Have Cancer? Biden: ‘I and So D**n Many Other People I Grew up With Have Cancer’” HERE)

Here’s How the White House Is Covering Up Joe Biden’s Latest Gaffe

By New York Post. President Biden said Wednesday that he has cancer, forcing the White House press office to quickly clarify that he was referring to skin cancer treatment that he had before taking office last year.

The remark initially appeared to be a stunningly casual health announcement during a speech about global warming in which the president described emissions from oil refineries near his childhood home in Claymont, Del. . .

White House spokesman Andrew Bates referred The Post to a tweet from Washington Post columnist Glenn Kessler, who noted that Biden had “non-melanoma skin cancers” removed before he took office.

It’s unclear why Biden chose to use the present verb tense to describe his experience with cancer.

“He said ‘I have cancer’ in the present tense you absolute dips–t,” Greg Price of XStrategies LLC tweeted in response to Kessler. (Read more from “Here’s How the White House Is Covering Up Joe Biden’s Latest Gaffe” HERE)

Small Trial of Patients Taking Same Drug Sees Their Cancer Vanish

/0 Comments/in , /by

It was a small trial, just 18 rectal cancer patients, every one of whom took the same drug.

But the results were astonishing. The cancer vanished in every single patient, undetectable by physical exam; endoscopy; positron emission tomography, or PET scans; or MRI scans.

Dr. Luis A. Diaz Jr. of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, an author of a paper published Sunday in the New England Journal of Medicine describing the results, which were sponsored by drug company GlaxoSmithKline, said he knew of no other study in which a treatment completely obliterated a cancer in every patient.

“I believe this is the first time this has happened in the history of cancer,” Diaz said.

Dr. Alan P. Venook, a colorectal cancer specialist at the University of California, San Francisco, who was not involved with the study, said he also thought this was a first. (Read more from “Small Trial of Patients Taking Same Drug Sees Their Cancer Vanish” HERE)

Cancer Breakthrough: New Treatment Shown to ‘Eradicate Cancer in as Little as Six Days’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Bowel cancer is considered to be one of the “most common” cancer types, with 43,000 new cases being recorded in the UK each year. Depending on its exact location, bowel cancer is also called colon or rectal cancer. New research has identified a promising treatment that could help target this condition. . .

Bioengineers have proved they can “eradicate advanced stage” bowel and ovarian cancer in “as little as six days”.

Conducted on mice models, the treatment could be ready for human clinical trials later this year, according to the study. . .

Omid Veiseh, an assistant professor of bioengineering whose lab created the treatment, said: “We just administer once, but the drug factories keep making the dose every day, where it’s needed until the cancer is eliminated.

“Once we determined the correct dose – how many factories we needed – we were able to eradicate tumours in 100 percent of animals with ovarian cancer and in seven of eight animals with colorectal cancer.” (Read more from “Cancer Breakthrough: New Treatment Shown to ‘Eradicate Cancer in as Little as Six Days’” HERE)

Groundbreaking Immunotherapy Study Shows Cancerous Tumors Disappearing Within a Week (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Scientists are celebrating positive results from an immunotherapy study, which showed success in making malignant tumors in mice disappear within a week.

The startling findings were made by a group of scientists at Rice University, in Houston, Texas. The group collaborated with researchers from the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and the University of Virginia.

The study, published in the journal Science Advances, was led by Omid Veiseh, an assistant professor of bioengineering at Rice University, and Amanda Nash.

Veiseh explained that the research team had developed tiny “drug factories” — the size of a pin head — which they then implanted into mice with minimally invasive surgery. These implants delivered continuous high doses of interleukin-2, which is a molecule that works with the immune system to help regulate the activities of white blood cells in fighting cancer.

The drug-producing beads were placed beside the tumors or within the peritoneum — a membrane that lines the abdominal wall and covers most of the abdominal organs — ensuring that the drugs were at their highest concentration around the tumor and limiting exposure elsewhere.

Republican Congressman Dead at 59

/1 Comment/in , /by

Rep. Jim Hagedorn (R-Minn.) has died following a battle with kidney cancer, his family revealed on Friday. He was 59.

“It is with a broken heart, shattered spirit and overwhelming sadness I share my husband Congressman Jim Hagedorn passed away peacefully last night,” Hagedorn’s wife, former Minnesota state GOP chair Jennifer Carnahan, said in a Facebook tribute.

“Jim loved our country and loved representing the people of southern Minnesota,” Carnahan added. “Every moment of every day he lived his dream by serving others. There was no stronger conservative in our state than my husband; and it showed in how he voted, led and fought for our country.”

Hagedorn was elected to represent Minnesota’s First District, which covers the southern portion of the state, in 2018. He was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer in February 2019, just six weeks into his first term and two months after marrying Carnahan.

The lawmaker went public with his diagnosis in February 2020 after undergoing surgery and more than a year of immunotherapy treatment at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. (Read more from “Republican Congressman Dead at 59” HERE)

Judge Shames Elderly Cancer Patient Too Weak to Mow His Lawn

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Michigan judge is coming under fire after video surfaced of her shaming and fining a 72-year-old cancer patient in court who said he’s too weak to maintain his lawn, with the judge exclaiming that she wished she could put the elderly man in jail for not keeping up his yard.

District Judge Alexis G. Krot, who presides over the 31st District Court in Michigan, delivered perhaps one of the most disgusting diatribes from the bench earlier in January – shaming an elderly cancer patient and wishing she could throw him in jail because he admitted to being too frail to personally maintain the weeds growing in his back yard.

During a January 10th virtual court appearance, 72-year-old Burhan Chowdhury appeared before Judge Krot over an August 2021 citation he’d received regarding overgrown vegetation that had begun to protrude through portions of the alleyway along the back of his property. Judge Krot read off the details of the civil infraction, telling Chowdhury he can plead “responsible, responsible with explanation, or not responsible.” In response, Chowdhury explained through labored breathing that he is simply not physically able to pull the weeds from his yard due to his cancer diagnosis.

Ronald McDonald House Threatens to Evict Unvaccinated Child Cancer Patients and Their Parents (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ronald McDonald Houses in British Columbia and Yukon, Canada, plan to evict child cancer patients and their parents if they don’t get the COVID-19 shot by the end of January.

“Beginning January 17, 2022, everyone five years and older who are working, staying, or visiting our facilities (both the House at 4567 Heather St, Vancouver and at the Family Room in Surrey Memorial Hospital) must show proof of full vaccination (two doses), in addition to completing our existing screening, unless an Accommodation has been sought and has been explicitly approved and granted by RMH BC in writing,” a letter from RMH British Columbia & Yukon Senior Director of Family Services Leslie Louie states.

The letter was sent to all families on Monday and only gives them a few weeks with a Jan. 31 grace period deadline to submit their vaccine passports to the RMHBC administration, which usually provides housing to families of sick children in need of regular hospital treatment.

Austin Furgason and his wife Lindsey, who are staying in the Vancouver Ronald McDonald house while their 4-year-old son receives treatment for leukemia, are just two of the people who RMH plans to kick out on Jan. 31 unless they get the COVID-19 jab.

In a video posted to Facebook, Furgason confronted a manager in the Vancouver house demanding answers on why the charity is demanding vaccination when the shot clearly doesn’t stop the spread of COVID-19.

My Husband’s Back Pain Turned Out to Be Deadly Cancer – Learn the Signs (VIDEO)

/1 Comment/in , /by

Watching her husband Jeremy lift a suitcase out from under the bed, Kerry Baggott never thought it would be the start of a heartbreaking journey for her family.

Jeremy had a shooting pain through his back, but being a ‘fit and healthy’ 46-year-old, the couple just thought it was something that would go away. . .

But that weakness turned out to be deadly multiple myeloma cancer, which affects around 24,000 people in the UK and eventually led to Jeremy’s death. . .

“He had a lump on his collar bone, pain in his arms, shoulders and had loads of MRIs that hadn’t picked up anything major,” Kerry said. . .

By the time Jeremy was finally diagnosed in March 2018, he had a broken collarbone, six broken ribs, numerous infections and the bone in his upper right arm had completely disintegrated. (Read more from “My Husband’s Back Pain Turned Out to Be Deadly Cancer – Learn the Signs (VIDEO)” HERE)

Breakthrough Blood Test May Detect 50 Types of Cancers

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Mayo Clinic is developing a breakthrough blood test that can detect more than 50 different types of cancer across all stages.

The test, known as Galleri, was created in partnership with Menlo Park, California-based biotechnology and pharmaceutical company Grail.

Galleri looks for signals present in the blood stream that may be associated with cancer at the time of a blood draw.

The test uses next-generation sequencing and machine-learning algorithms to analyze methylation patterns of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in the bloodstream, which can carry cancer-specific information. DNA methylation is a process used by cells to regulate gene expression. If a cancer signal is detected, Galleri will pinpoint where in the body the cancer is coming from to help health care providers determine the appropriate next steps for patient treatment.
