LINDA AND CURIOUS NEPHEW
Do you have
some dormant cancer cells asleep inside you?
You naturally hope not, but I guess you can’t be sure – especially if
you are in remission from a past bout with the disease. Well, your ever-vigilant NIH newly advises
you to avoid stress, in order not to awaken the nasty little
bastards. Apparently experiments with mice have shown
that stress can activate production of certain hormones which, in turn, cause inflammation
that induces dormant cancer cells to leap into action! (Questions:
How do you insert dormant cancer cells into a mouse? How can you tell when a mouse is stressed?) But,
anyway – chill out! Sip a little pumpkin
liqueur of an evening and read a good book.
That’s part of my plan for longevity – and I’m 87.
