How we might be able to turn on the p53 gene and have it again kill our cancer cells.

Thanks for reminding me there's a world out there and I really should look out the window more ofter. I looked, the mornig sky is brilliant orangeish coral interspersed with pale powdery blue. Back to work. I gotta try harder.

I am working on the imagery. Mary Ann sent me somethings to help me and gently reminding me that I should try them, very soon! I do appreciate her concern as I had tendency to over focus don't ya think!

Love you,

Claudia

Thanks, but you've freaked me out a bit as you'll be flipping the p54 instead of the p53, we might all end up with boils on our noses. p53 baby, p53.

Love ya and thanks for the thoughts.

The reason I don't go out has a great deal to do with lack of funds and a vehicle that will safely take me places. Unlike other places I've lived there is almost nowhere of interest to go within walking distance. or to drive to at under 35mph cause over that the truck shakes like you're riding on a stage coach. I have always loved to drive and to travel to new places by car. but since I've been here in the U.P., I've been stuck with nothing but your basic stores for groceries and a K-Mart.

When it gets to me I play a game called spider on the computer just to numb the pain. I hate to cry in my tea, but actually of late it really has been more than I can stand without getting all teared up and now my hand hurts from playing spider and typing here, and I worry i won't be able to paint, but if I stop, I start to cry again. Talk about a viscious circle. I would get a job, but they are very few and far between and due to my income limit on insurance, less than ten percent of the poverty level, I can't find that sort of job, see now I'm really into the pitifulness of it all and I've started a pity session no amout of spider is going to fix. that's why I spend so much time trying to help us all, I want to make a difference in all our lives. I want to get better so I can get out of this rut and get a job and become part of the living again. CRAP!! now I need a tissue I may even need a whole box, wait forgot, below the poverty level, I don't have a tissue, all I have is cheap tiolet paper from the dollar store, and I really need to get a grip and my hand hurts so playing spider is out. Hope my lovely granddaughter doesn't come out of her room and see me sitting here sobbing, without even any tea for the tears to go into.I gotta go make some tea or coffee real quick. I don't want tea, and I don't have creamer...

You say Huntigton Beach and I think well, la dee dah
N'est pas???

I lived in the Bay Area for the majority of my life after moving there from a five flight walk up in New York City in early '66. In the Bay Area, we mostly thought of southern California as needing a separate state status as you're more of an outdoorsy, bikini wearing, roller skating group and we were more of an intellectual, go to the coffee shop and be ridiculous group, Borders and all that, some were into Ikea, me not so much. Costco was a temple.

stereotyping is so stupid.

Bet you're just wonderful, and here's a news blast I can vouch for-New Yorkers are the most, caring, helpful, family oriented people ever. They just look like they do on the tele cause they know if you ask them for anything, they'll be forced, due to how they were raised, to help you to their utmost. It's true, and it's all in the asking. Ever watch the shows where someone is picking on some less able or a weaker person, it's almost always a woman who helps and if she's a New York woman, you just better hold on to your hats cause you're not getting away with anything and while she' taking you to task she's calling 911 for backup. When I went back to visit I was lost as far as how to get where on the subway, I asked someone walking down the street if they could direct me to the right subway to get me where I wanted to go and they took me to the place where you buy the tokens and then pointed out which track to go on to wait. It was a guy. Love stereotyping, gives you a starting place to backtrack from in you opinion pool. What am I doing here. I love and miss New York.

Monarchs
I was camping one November day, just lying on the ground enjoying the sky and the breeze by the ocean, north of Bonnie Dune when the sky went nearly black. took a sec to realize it was the monarchs on their trek south. They talk about the swallows, haven't seen that, but this was truly amazing to experience.

Well, since you don't want to overrun the body's ability
to filter out the dead cancer cells, I still lean towards thinking about the p53 flip throughout the day, then I had rather liked the idea of sunset. Only sunset is different times for different parts of the country. If we also picked a time say 9pm eastern, 8 central, 7 mountain and 6 pacific, it would all be the same time right?

Any other in put?

I got this from my sister after I told her of the idea of the p53:

There is actually science backing up the idea of commutative thought (I'm not sure if that's what it's called in the experiments.) They've done tests where they have a group of stangers think good thoughts about one patient and not another, and it makes a difference. The Dali Lama is funding research into this. He's been very clear that the experiments have to be real--he wants to get good results. But all the results so far show that it makes a difference.

When Alex was sick, I spent many hours envisioning the white winning out over the black. It made me feel better. And maybe it helped Alex. (She's referring to the fact that as a cancer cell takes over the nucleus of a normal cell the nucleus becomes bigger and bigger and blacker and blacker, this is not same thing as the genetic strip I had mentioned earlier)


She's talking about her son, Alex who had leukemia at 6 months one of the youngest ages for a child to ever get that cancer. I'm assuming I get the defect of the p53 from both sides of my family as both my father, mother and brother have extremely rare cancers. There is some good news and some bad news about all that.

My father,whose cancer was found at an advanced stage and could not even be determined what kind of cancer it was it was growing so fast, had all the standard treatment and died one year after diagnosis. My mother, refused any treatment and will be 90 this year, she's still brilliant. My brother is 7 or 8 years past his diagnosis, he researched, disagreed with what the doctor prescribed and refused chemo instead requesting and getting hormone therapy and seed beads. Alex is in high school and i'm, well, I'm still fighting for my life.

The interesting thing is, that while I just communicate with everyone about what I'm finding out and what I'm doing, I never knew what decisions either my mother or brother had decided to do until I started asking them after I refused any treatment myself.

I'm taking a much needed computer break to focus on the reading and decision making for a while.

Will be thinking p53 throughout the day and seeing the lights turn purple after envisioning the switch being flipped at 8pm as I'm Central Standard time.

Hey,
If you mean you're in the Eastern Standard time zone, then when we're aiming for all the same time, your time would be 9pm. 7pm would be mountain time that would put you somewhere in line with the eastern side of the rockies.

map of the time zones world wide. I think you said something about Edmonton and you're right that would be 7 in our Mountain time zone.

Tried to put the map up for everyone but only got gobbledegook.

I'm pretty excited about this.

Here's to us and all those needing our p53s to reactivate.
