| THE BEST MEDICINEf- LAUGH! FIRST DOSE There are always two ways to look at everything, I guess. My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion last October, and I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby table. My wife noticed me staring and asked me, "Do you know her?". "Yes", I sighed, "She's my old girlfriend. I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since." "My God!" says my wife, "Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?" Got a Joke? E-mail it to us: frontpage@collectivewizdom .com |
| THE BEST MEDICINE- LAUGH! SECOND DOSE Last night, my friend and I were sitting in the living room and I said to her, "I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug." She got up, unplugged the TV, and threw out my wine |

What Is Cancer?
"Cancer" is actually the name of any disease in which cells
grow out of control. It is not a single disease. There are over
200 known types of cancer.
If a cell grows out of control, it eventually "crowds out" the
vital functions every cell needs to accomplish to keep you
healthy.
Think of the cell as an Office. There are people who work in
the office doing their jobs. Their jobs range from somewhat
important to vitally important. When the office is running
smoothly, every body has enough space to do their job well.
Now imagine that, into this smoothly running Office, a high
school band marches in. It's not that the music isn't good or
appreciated. It's just that there is not enough room in the
Office to accommodate a marching band. So, the Boss asks
the Band to please leave.
But, to every one's astonishment, the Band won't leave. The
Band plays on, as it were.
The Boss is helpless to throw the Band out, so they try to
work around the Marching Band. The secretaries try to type
and collate but the Trumpeters get in the way. The
accountants try to count but the drummers have taken all
the pens and are using them as drum sticks. It's a mess.
What makes it even worse is that the Band not only keeps
playing. But it keeps growing. Every day or so, another
hundred members are added to the Band, hopelessly
crowding this small Office.
The normal functioning of the Office is destroyed.
Eventually, the Office just shuts down in futility.
This is what happens when cancer invades your body. It
crowds out the normal smooth coordinated functions of the
human body. Organs stop getting the nutrients they need
because the cells that should have been performing that
function have been crowded out by cancer cells.
So, eventually, the affected organs shut down and stop
working.
This is what leads to death if a vital organ is affected such as
the lungs, liver or brain.
