C IS FOR "CONTRARIAN COMPARISON" & "CANCER"

You need perfume? We got perfume. How 'bout an engagement ring?

Something for the little lady? Hmmm

GOOD STUFFS
C IS 4 “CONTRARIAN COMPARISON” :

I’m going to compare below two edible objects that I ate yesterday:

OBJECT 1: Dark red.
OBJECT 2: Bright orange.
OBJECT 1: Roundish, but slightly narrower at the bottom than it is at the top.
OBJECT 2: Round.
OBJECT 1: A little smaller than my fist.
OBJECT 2: Slightly larger than my fist.
OBJECT 1: Has a dark, thin half inch stem protruding from its center at the top.
OBJECT 2: Has no stem, but does have a small green nub in its center at the top.
OBJECT 1: Is wrapped in a thin but firm skin.
OBJECT 2: Is contained within a thick, pitted, leathery skin with a white underside.
OBJECT 1: White inside; one pulpy mass.
OBJECT 2: Orange inside with white fibers running around segmented pieces.
OBJECT 1: Is fairly sweet, juicy and crisp.
OBJECT 2: Is soft, sweet and juicy but with a very slight tartness also.
OBJECT 1: Contained three small, dark brown seeds in its core.
OBJECT 2: Contained no seeds of any sort.
* In my opinion, OBJECT 2 tasted better than OBJECT 1.

I have just analyzed the similarities and the differences between a Red Delicious Apple and a Navel Orange.

Now, the next time someone tells you that you can’t compare two items to each other because “it would be like comparing apples to oranges”, you can reply with this: “Comparing apples to oranges is hardly impossible. In fact, I once saw a rank amateur do it rather easily on his Blog.” [Don’t accept that invalid cliché any longer. I say, “Compare away!”]

BAD STUFFS
C IS 4 “CANCER” :

I want to switch gears on you now and write about something that’s serious. No, not halitosis or incontinence. I mean, something that’s REALLY serious. I want to briefly address the subject of cancer. This is a public service announcement:

Alright, we’re all big boys and girls here, aren’t we? And there ain’t any really stupid dudes or dudettes reading this Blog Bit, are there? Haven’t we lived long enough to have arrived at the conclusion that much of the way “this world” operates revolves around the acquisition of money and power? “Follow the money!” haven’t we all said that at one time or another?

Why then, would any reasonable, logical person with even a modicum of critical thinking capacity believe that this somehow does not apply in the world of medicine? Do the areas of health and medicine not offer plenty of opportunity for human beings to acquire money and power? Or is every doctor, every corporation, and every organization functioning within the realm of medicine solely interested in your well-being?

What if cancer could be prevented or even cured by simple changes in diet? What if avoiding cancer was as simple as getting a sufficient amount of a certain nutrient that is ordinarily lacking in the modern diet? If dietary adjustments could prevent cancer and even cure it in very advanced, even so-called “terminal” stages, would it be in the best interest of the pharmaceutical companies, the makers of complicated diagnostic machines, and organizations that exist only to “fight” cancer, to tell you this?

Well, neither I nor anyone in my immediate family has had a major “cancer encounter”, but alternative views have always interested me. And that’s why years ago I read two books on the subject of Laetrile, or “Vitamin B-17.” These books opened my eyes to the fact that millions of people are living in fear of and dying of cancer when it’s not at all necessary.

I have no association with either author – have never met or even spoken with either one of them – so it makes no difference to my wallet whether or not you buy their books (heck, I’d say get them through an Interlibrary Loan for free!), but I will tell you this: There’s no good reason for anyone to fear cancer or die from it. For sure, The Good Lord is going to call each of us Home someday, but there are better ways to go than at the hand of cancer. Choose another path Home! Read these absolutely astounding books, Brothers and Sisters, and tell cancer to "F.O."

‘WORLD WITHOUT CANCER: The Story Of Vitamin B-17’
by G. Edward Griffin

‘ALIVE AND WELL: One Doctor’s Experience With Nutrition In The Treatment Of Cancer Patients’
by Philip E. Binzel, Jr., M.D.

If your library can’t get these books for you, they can be purchased through G. Edward Griffin’s own website. Here’s a link: ‘REALITY ZONE’

Again, I have no vested interest in any purchase anyone might make; I just hate seeing the Brothers and Sisters whom God gave to me dying in such a horrible manner. (Contrary to popular opinion, I really am a pretty decent guy.)

BONUS MATERIAL:
Since this little episode which occurred yesterday does relate to a person’s car, and since car does begin with the letter “C”, I figured I’d just toss this in so I can close this Blog Bit on a lighter note.

Where I work, I occasionally speak with a woman named Jan. She and I were talking yesterday about the manner in which some Christian churches conduct their Easter services. When she went to leave, she complained to me that recently she had noticed a bad odor in her car but she was unable to locate the source of the smell. I suggested, “Maybe it’s you.”
Jan said, “WHAT?!”
And I said, “Well, do you smell it in your car
when you’re not in it?”
