Tongue Cancer

[mso489]

If not smoking is better than smoking, then moderation is better than heavy smoking. Pipe smoking, alcohol, sun exposure, processed food, etc.

Yes sorry this mouth wash

 

[phantomwolf]

I don't care. I mean, I will if and when I do have a health issue, but my opinion is that fifty pleasurable years are better than seventy boring years. Assuming I make fifty. 'knocks on wood'

 

[oldmansmoking]

I agree live life to your full. Who knows what's coming round the corner. Try not to have any regrets.

Besides I very much enjoy pipe smoking and everything about pipes.

We're all doomed in one way or another. If tobacco gets me, so be it. I love every second of it, and I think on the whole it's a worthwhile endeavor.

Well-said, Pipesmokingtom. 8) For me, quality is more important than quantity. I'd rather live a shorter, full life than a longer, dull life filled with fear and paranoia.
OP, if you are that worried, maybe you shouldn't smoke a tobacco pipe! Don't forget that genetics plays an important role in cancer risk. But with that said, there are a few things we pipe smokers can do to minimize the risks of developing cancer. For example, try not to smoke and drink alcohol at the same time (and of course don't abuse alcohol). Get enough exercise and sleep every day. Eat a healthy, balanced diet. Daily meditation is also helpful to reduce stress. Avoid going into debt. And look into taking B17 (Laetrile) every day. Lack of B17 in our modern diets is a major cause of all cancers. Here are a few helpful links:

As others have said, there are no guarantees in life. You have to assess the risks of pipe smoking against the positive effects on your life. We're all going to die of something someday, so we might as well enjoy life a bit.

I take rat poison to thin my blood to help ward off strokes.

I am a happy camper if I go for an hour or more w/o having to take a piss.

I'd quit smoking cigs for 5 yrs or more THREE times, and for one year or more, several times, and took it up again once I retired, due to stress.

I still felt bad(ly) about inhaling tobacco, but I was rolling my own and trying to at least smoke as chemically free as possible.

THEN, I discovered that I could enjoy tobacco in a pipe, and soon discovered a secret society of pipe smokers yearning to be free.

Yes, I am a nicotine addict, and my name is mike.

The ex wife who would not join me in any of those 'quits' for all those years, passed away in April due to lung cancer.

Whoopie! We're all gonna die!

Quint, from the Cancer Research UK website...
Laetrile is promoted as an alternative cancer treatment but there is no evidence that it works. Laetrile is a partly man made (synthetic) form of the natural substance amygdalin. Amygdalin is a plant substance found in raw nuts and the pips of many fruits, particularly apricot pips or kernels. It is also found in plants like lima beans, clover and sorghum.
Laetrile can cause serious side effects in some people so we also do not recommend that you use laetrile alongside your cancer treatment.
There is no evidence that laetrile can help with cancer, but some people use it because they believe it might:
#improve their health, energy levels and wellbeing

#detoxify and cleanse the body

#help them to live longer
Laetrile contains cyanide, which is a type of poison. So the side effects of laetrile are the same as those of cyanide.

Jay.

One thing that I have started doing is using a waterpik every night, especially on the days I smoke.

Jay, I respectfully disagree. I don't want to hijack this thread, but their statement is 100% false. Yes, Amygdalin contains cyanide. But the cyanide compound is locked in and only released when it comes in contact with cancer cells. This was proven long ago in many laboratory tests. There are tens of thousands of people around the world every day taking apricot seeds to help prevent cancer, and they are not getting cyanide poisoning or other ill effects.
Laetrile/Amygdalin/B17 isn't some Youtube 'home remedy' cancer treatment. It was proven one of the most effective (and affordable) cancer treatments ever over 40 years ago through documented clinical research, tests, and cancer patient treatments (before it was outlawed). Ever since then, the mainstream cancer treatment industry has been trying to discredit these facts because they are trying to protect their profits. As you know, cancer treatment is big business. Very big. If they ever admitted that people could greatly reduce their chance of getting most cancers by simply eating 8-10 raw apricot seeds a day, or stage 4 cancer patients receiving Laetrile (concentrated Amygdalin in liquid form) through IV would have a very high probability of full recovery, it would result in hundreds of thousands of lost jobs and wipe out billions of dollars in profits. Why do you think doctors in the US will lose their license to practice if they recommend apricot seeds or try to treat cancer patients with Laetrile? Not because it doesn't work. It's because it was never approved by the FDA for the very reason of protecting the mainstream cancer treatment industry.
Please watch this video. It's very enlightening.

I also recommend two books:
1. Laetrile Case Histories; The Richardson Cancer Clinic Experience
2. World Without Cancer; The Story of Vitamin B17
Both are still in print and are available on Amazon.
Anyway, this isn't a medical website, and I don't want to hijack this thread.
Keep on smokin'. ::

Pick a research study, any study. Whatever paper you choose to believe is sure to be contradicted by a different paper. Then it boils down to methodology so you have to read at lest read the other paper, then the citations and methodology it drew its conclusions from.

 

[buroak]

The Waterpik is an excellent suggestion. The thing changed my life as a pipe smoker.

 

[perdurabo]

I think this is the equivalent of a typical seminar call. The guy hasn't posted in a week. I'll bet you money, hesheit, is doing research for an anti smoking lobby. PM me to place your bets. :mrgreen:

The cool thing about mouth cancers is that nowadays, you're most likely going to totally going to survive it. You may not be pretty, but you'll be alive. At least that is what my proctologist says.

OP.. go to the dentist. They check for it every time I go.
