I know throughout our lifetime we develop cancerous cells that are eventually destroyed by lymphocytes before they can become too serious. So how do some cancer cells avoid apoptosis and develop into a tumor? And even when it becomes a tumor, why isn’t the immune system able to recognize these cells as foreign?
Does it have anything to do with the MHC of the cancer cell in that they are still displaying "self" proteins or is the MHC they just inhibited from reaching the cell surface?

She works full time but her employer charges an outrageous amount of money for health insurance. I know there are many many young people who don’t have health insurance, mostly because of the cost of high insurance premiums. But my daughter really needs it cause she has some health issues that will stay with her for a lifetime.
thanks everyone!

I have wondered for a long time how band aids can be guaranteed sterile since the guarantee only applies to unopened band aids. To test or use the band aid it would have to be opened and then there is no guarantee. This is the equivalent of saying your new car has a lifetime 100% guarantee covering any problem unless it is driven. Is there really any guarantee and if you developed an infection could you sue?

I have lived in St. Louis all my life, and have not been out of the region too much. I get a sinus headache or infection about four to six times a year, either to getting a cold or a weird change in weather (as St. Louis is). For those who have lived in various locations in their lifetime, are headaches more common in certain areas such as St. Louis, and occur less often in other locations?

my doctors office is right down the street (i can walk there), but im afraid that if i go there, they’ll tell my parents that i went for a HIV/AIDS test. i dont think i have it, but since watching the movie ‘girl, positive’ on lifetime, i want to get tested to be sure. since im 18, can i go to my doctors office and have this be strictly confidential? with no evidence that i was there at all?????

I remember reading that priests, monks etc showed a higher incidence of prostate cancer due to abstinence but I have not been able to find it again.
just off the press. For example, men who reported 21 or more ejaculations per month in their 40s had a 32% lower risk of prostate cancer later in life compared with those who reported between four and seven ejaculations per month. Men who reported more than 21 monthly ejaculations in the previous year had a 51% lower risk of prostate cancer.

Overall, an average of 21 or more ejaculations a month during a man’s lifetime decreased the risk of prostate cancer later in life by 33%. And each increase of three ejaculations per week during a man’s lifetime was associated with a 15% reduction in prostate cancer risk.
Ejaculation May Lower Prostate Cancer Risk

The findings, published in the April 7 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association, are based on data collected from nearly 30,000 predominately white men aged 46 to 81.

I am 65 and retired after a lifetime teaching- I have tried many things including acupuncture,cognitive behaviour therapy, diet modification chinese medicine(herbs) supplements such as Korean ginseng- I try to keep my mind active by being involved in things- I help at a school on two half days per week and I teach computers to senior citizens and learn Bridge on another day. This has helped but on the other days I find it more difficult because if I try to read for example, I just fall asleep. I can’t do a lot of gardening because I suffer with a very bad back. I go walking half an hour a day. What i’d like to do is get back to golf. I’m waiting for the cooler weather and back strngthening exercises I’m doing to work. I have prostate cancer and a heart problem but I don’t worry about these – the cancer is not causing any problems at this popint in time.Any ideas to help withthe chronic fatigue.????
I checked out sleep apnoea- but that cause was ruled out.
I am a christian and pray to God every day. This has helped me to keep going when I get rally down. I’m having the problem right now trying to keep focussed on what I’m doing.

What affordable health insurance would you recommend for my uninsured 21 year old daughter? She works full time but her employer charges an outrageous amount of money for health insurance. I know there are many many young people who don’t have health insurance, mostly because of the cost of high insurance premiums. But my daughter really needs it cause she has some health issues that will stay with her for a lifetime.

thanks everyone!
