UPDATE: TO THE UPDATE
May 7th 2021 – Thank you Canceragogo contributors. We just gifted the Sabine Mueller Lab at UCSF with $20,000 dollars for pediatric brain cancer research. Much of this money came in the form of $1 donations from so many of you. Thank you so much.
We will not rest until this insidious disease is defeated. 🙏🏻
‘A special shout out to Monterey County Sheriff’s Deputy Pete Ramos. Pete is a cancer survivor whom I met today, and after some kind words, he handed me a dollar for Canceragogo. This is exactly the sense of community my son Errol wished to engender. “Dad,” he would say, “Just one dollar from every American and we could cure this thing that’s battling me. So no other kid would have to go through this.” This was exactly who Errol was, brave, tough and kind. Our hero. So I gratefully accepted Pete’s dollar, handed him a Canceragogo card, and asked him to spread the word.’
WIM HOF to strengthen the immune system.
The Wim Hoff method, which uses deep breathing exercises and cold water immersion to stimulate and strengthen the body’s immune system, is fascinating. As scientists learn more about the importance of the body’s immune system to fight off cancer recurrence, things that safely support and strengthen the immune system, should be considered. You can learn about the technique free on line (Youtube.com).
UPDATE:
