if only they accepted paypal ):

paypal does horrible things to people/charities taking in money through it

What do they do?

there has been times they lock the account and take the money just becaise they can

Omg... so in these case what is best for money transfers (like pay pal)?

i'd say goog;e's e-check thing
or just not keep a lot of money on your paypal at all times

they've done it to me, saying it was a precaution because they suspected someone hacked the account... which was not true, i just spent money as soon as it got into it

only if more commissioners used different means then paypal :c

Och.. I will be remember that, and takes cash when it will be on account, and don't wait, till I collect who-know-how-much-of-it ;)

It was just used to raise over $21,000 for Furnando's in Pittsburgh. I think after that big media throw down with regretsy has made them a little less dicky. But I could be wrong. >.<

Holy shit, I was just wondering how much they'd raised so far. Do you have a link to where it says that?

I can do better. I can give you a link to a video of Uncle Kage HANDING him said check :3

Check handing
Anthrocon Thread

OwO Thanks for linking that, I donated $100 and I wanted to see Fernando's face so bad! x3

oh i see ):
thats too bad.

DCA Cures Cancer

That's been debunked. The n value (number of subjects) in the study was too low, once they pushed it into more elaborate testing they found their results were a statistical anomaly

Statistical results can be manipulated one way or another, and they cannot make a profit on selling it to.
Another Cure suppressed because of Greed.

Statistical results can be manipulated, but any statistician worth his or her wage knows at what point something in a study becomes remotely statistically significant. That's why they invented p values!

If that's true, then I have a bridge to sell you

you're full of shit

Congrats, Songdog!

How does one get their banner picked? :o

We look in the search engine to see if people have drawn a banner, find ones that we like or fit the theme.

What search tag words should I use to tag my banner in the future? I've had 'banner april may 2012' for my previous.
I'd be cool to know, since I always fear you end up not even noticing mine at all.

Gonna try do better next time~

FA and banner are likely safe bets :3

Shouldve added 'FA' now that I think of it! It's too obvious, I didn't think of it :'3

its a guess on my end but they make the most sense to me

If an image is put in scraps, will it still show in your banner search?

Instantly when I saw your message I thought 'why would anyone want to put their banner suggestions to scraps o_o' - but then I remembered that some people only use scraps to put their drawings to x3

yea xD some people use their scraps to sort their submissions in all kinds of different ways, so I thought it would be nice to know :>

Congratulations!

congrats

Cool banner :3

Congrats mate

I am always wanting to help with cancer! I'll try to donate!

I'm broke, but I did spread the word on Livejournal, InkBunny and Twitter about the cancer thing

Excellent!

Have spread the word through FA and twitter with a hashtag #DaiquiriRidetoConquerCancer

I tweeted whth the tag :)

Hope it helps

Every little bit of publicity will help. Hopefully more people will tweet with the tag and help build up a massive support group for him

GOOO DAQUIRI!!

about time the banner got changed -3-

I think you guys should set up an email that people can send their banners to so everybody gets a chance to get their banners in without being popular

We don't pick based on popularity.

I know that, but you guys used the search engine right? And it's hard to find ALL the banners people submited doing that

We search by date using Search, not popularity. =3

I thought there was only revelency and popularity lololderp.

But it would still be a good idea right?

congrats

Oh.

i will go thoth and spread the word to all on my end,and may god be on his side to fight cancer and win

I've spread the word through several other social networks! :3 hope it helps!

But cancer... is something completely natural |=(:3

If we have to stop cancer, we have to:

- Escape from the earth, clothes, food and belongings who contain nuclear isotopes which could cause cancer.
- The sun which irradiates thousands of gamma rays and neutrino's which go through our whole body and break some of the molecules of our cells and stuff.
- Limit our life expectancy to reduce the change of getting cancer.
- 'Control the elements'.

tl;dr: 75~50 years ago people died from most on 'natural cause', but nowadays 'natural cause' is renamed to cancer.

Anyway, good luck~ |=(:3

Cancer as we know it is an anomaly. Yes, it does occur naturally, but in healthy people our bodies take care of it by attacking cancerous cells when they appear, so they don't go out of control. Whenever you see someone who is diagnosed with cancer, for whatever reason those biological protections have failed, and outside help is needed.

No it's not. It's due to the immune system not having the tools needed to stop cells from going haywire. Vitamin D3 controls both the creation and death-signals of cells, and is the stop and go signal for the body's cells. It's produced by the skin in sunlight, and only 20% of our US population is in the sun long enough to produce adequate levels.

press ctrl+f and type in 'vitamin D3 against cancer' to see my comment post on how much to use, links to news and documented scientific sites on it, and my own story about loosing a HAND to cancer. All easily preventable.

Read your post, it's very informative. I don't think, however, that Vitamin D3 is the end-all because it's also been shown that excessive exposure to sunlight can cause cancer.

But I believe that it helps. Sorry to hear about your hand, I trust you are coping well? We have medical methods sufficient enough to give you a new one now, but I gather it's still not easy to go through. I'm in the process of losing my hearing, myself.

I think I'll make a point of spending more time on weekends outdoors by swimming laps in the pool. I work the nightshift and that's also a known carcinogen.

Thanks for asking, it was nine years ago now. I was at EF 13 and had a table, I got commished an awful lot for badges. My hubby overheard a question, 'How can she draw with one hand like that?' ... xD 'With a pencil!' The only real limits I have are ponytails, knitting and shoelaces.

Arh on the loss of hearing, god bless, Coon. <:) Yes on the excessive exposure to sunlight - all a white person needs is fifteen to twenty minutes in natral sunkight outside to load up on what they need of D.

There is, unfortunately, no end-all, but thankfully, some excellent insights into how the body works. Human genome project.. 2,700 binding-sites on the entire human gene spiral that uses the skin's sunlight by-product during cell mitosis for it's healthy replication.

Arh, you remind me of the luxuries of living in the states with the pools, I miss them. xD Enjoy your swims!

hee, thanks! And it is no problem.

I have noo idea how expensive it is or whether or not it would be something you want to do, but I was serious when I said there were possibilities for getting your other hand back. I read some medical articles the other day about how they've found ways around donor rejection to the point that grafts of entire arms are being successful. A guy who lost one of his fingers actually grew it back using this experimental stem-cell powder intended for surgery on internal organs. And if that isn't enough, they finally have fully functional bionics that you can control with your brain (though true dexterity is still a problem).

It's amazing the stuff that's being done. The Human Genome project is certainly a part of it. Maybe some day we'll really come up with a more effective treatment or even a cure for cancer.

That's true with some variants of cancer, but not all. Cancer is a disease of individual cells. If the cell has certain mutations it flags as "friendly" to your immune system, so even a strong healthy immune system won't find it. That's what makes cancer so sneaky dangerous. Cancer happens naturally all the time. You have cancer now, but the majority of cancerous cells don't have all the necessary mutations to develop into an actual disease. Preprogrammed cell death is a wonderful defense mechanism.


I do agree with you though, a daily multivitamin (and additional supplements as reccomended, don't wanna go overboard and kill your kidneys and liver) is a FANTASTIC way to stay much healthier.

Quite! There's a big controversy here because it's proving that extra supplemental A (beta-carotene) and E (Alpha-tocipherol) have adverse effects. They kicked off a whole new series of studies in the country I live in, Denmark, because of the vitamin D fuss from the states, and while it's going to be 3-5 years before they are finished with the lengthier tests, it looks scientifically sound about sunlight.

I agree, of course, Metontmy, considering that there are so many different types of cancer.

I figure too much of anything is a bad thing. :)

We can learn to fight the cancers. The ultimate question that must be asked is... What causes that one cell to reproduce rapidly? What triggers it? We have no clue. We know some things increase the risk, but there is no explanation for why someone who has never smoked a day in his life will die of Lung cancer while someone who smokes daily can live to a ripe old age of 90.

Breast Cancer has been almost eliminated. If its detected before it spreads, it can be cured. More cancers are slowly being brought under control. Even if we cant eradicate it from the person.. Having a year rather than a day left to live is a huge deal to those effected. It gives them time for closure. Do the things they wanted to do, rebuild any bridges burnt, etc etc.

Heavy metal toxins, pesticides,but most of all sunlight deprivation causes it. This is why nighttime workers often have double to triple rates of breast and other cancers.

Together we, the site and the community, cane make a difference!

cane make a difference!

cane

But....what I did....was...what you did....and...

CURSES! FENDER! YOU'VE HURT MY BRAIN!

So, how much money over the years have we spent to cure cancer?

Did it ever get cured?

Some forms, yep! Just Is expensive and time consuming to nail down every type. Here's the pill you take that completely cures some types of childhood leukemia (and helps against other cancers)

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedh.....th/PMH0000345/

Man, so many people spillin' their haterade all over. Don't they know it's full of disrespectrolytes?

Yes there are cures to some cancers, I'm not some idiot who's just like DURR CANCER BAD IMMA GIVE MAH MONIES N TIME.

Cancer killed my 14 year old best friend. People still die from it every day. We don't understand everything about it yet, but we understand a lot now. How? Through the generosity and hard work of others! So, continuing in that path, is why I'm doing this.

I wasn't hating, I was just questioning

This is why my home province rocks.

Daiquiri can make it, I know he can! YOU CAN KICK CANCERS ASS!

my grandma has stage 4 cancer with lymphoma shes been fighting cancer since last may it devastated me when i founded out about it on christmas day. hugs he has my support

God, I want to help out so much for Daiquiri since he's a great friend of mine but I really have no money right now until Thursday! Daiquiri, you are in my thoughts

I can only totally approve this, having cancer myself, i am very glad to see this message up on FA!

As one who has recently lost a loved one to cancer, I approve. 7@=e

For whatever its worth, I let people on https://www.Tailsrefuge.com and a number of my skype contacts know.
I understand the feeling of having someone close to you having cancer. the more people that know about this the better!

I lost my aunt to Breast cancer..good luck fellow furry and may the winds lead you on..oh and money too that always helps

As a Dancer for this year's THON (A 46 hour no sitting/sleeping dance marathon to help find a cure for pediatric cancer) I, and my fraternity, would like to make a small donation. We raised over 10 Million USD to help Childhood Cancer and I will try to get my frat in on this.

Several cures for cancer have already been found. FDA and everyone else in on it suppress this info from us because the rake in millions of dollars a year on "cancer research" and chemotherapy and all that other jazz. Please do your own research on the matter first before buying into it. Just like that Kony 2012 scam. Jeez people. Not to seem insensitive on the subject but again, several cures for cancer have already been found. But yet these organizations have yet to find a cure yet? Yeah very suspicious...

really? you just posted that on my post.

It's totally rewritten and I added to it. Go be a sheep and do what you're told then. Mindless zombie can't think for himself.

i am thinking for myself lol. so what if i want to help support a cause. doesnt mean im a mindless sheep.

All for supporting people with cancer, just not finding a cure since cures for cancer exist already.

you really shouldnt be commenting on this journal hun. just negative in a way and uncalled for.

Kinda sorry but this is about conquering cancer right? I'm just saying cures for cancer have been found already. Problem solved. But I'm the bad guy for trying to bring light to the matter? Bleh.

You need to stop watching that "Natural Cures "they" don't want you to know about." infomercial.

While I don't like the negativity either, but he is sadly correct. We have cures for MANY forms of cancer, but it is so cheap to make and is un-patentable that the US drug companies wont advertise or make it. And even worse yet, this is OLD news. I will have to dig up the old news clips, videos and such. I hate is, even more so since my mother has had cancer twice. Big corporate is greedy, plain and simple.

Those chemicals just didn't pass. It wasn't a corporate conspiracy. I know, I read the drug applications for class.

They have had succes with them, but not at the limit required for it to be deemed statistically effective and safe. So it won't be sold as a cancer drug in the US or Europe or Japan or Canada until scientifically solid evidence surfaces for it's efficacy.

Cancer research is still a necessary piece regardless because we need to know the exact ,mechanisms of how cancer works still. That way even if a "miracle chemical" did crop up we'd be able to say which cancers it would cure (most types of cancer are RADICALLY different from other types of cancer)

Oh really? Then why does my mother still have Leukemia?

You're doing it wrong?

Wow....Just wow. Really?

i know right?

Now your taking it too far. talking bad about me on another site? just wanted to let you know, real cool dude. you are real cool. not cool at all hun. just thought i would let ya know.

your friendly neighboorhood dragon, Saphire Sawtelle.

sorry fender. not trying to cause trouble or anything. just lil angered. but its all under control. rawr.

Uncalled for.

Thank you Fender

thank you Fender. Greatly appreciated.

Care to cite your sources?

He's probably talking about this study http://www.arbitragemagazine.com/to.....4world-7debut/

Which hasn't been proven to be sufficiently good to be a drug to cancer patients yet. (low test subject amount, the material degrades at near body temperature, and no official human trials yet) but it went viral and people jumped alllllll over it. It's a terrible mishmash of group think and some people's need to find a conspiracy in everything.

Yeah, I was thinking that was what it was. There's a reason the people who work in the research and pharmaceutical fields go to school for so many years: they understand that there's more to it than "we found this plant in the jungle and it cured cancer in one of our rats, so it's a miracle cure!" like you said, there is no miracle cure for all cancers, since they all function differently.

As a biologist with coursework in industrial chemistry... I can say... Yes, some forms of cancer are cured! Check this drug out. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedh.....th/PMH0000345/ it stops ALL cancers with a certain g phase protien mutation dead in its tracks. Gone, zip, nada.

HOWEVER

A number of cancers, common ones at that, have no cures yet. There is no magical chemical. There is no cancer panacea. Those chemicals that people keep claiming are cures... Like Dca... Debunked. People are using very bad science and people's hate of big pharma to fuel this conspiracy theory. I am not a huge fan of big pharma (having worked for small pharma) but things like the FDA IND guidelines are really good ways to figure out how well a cure actually works. The FDA inspectors are not bought by the big pharma in the slightest, they only turn drugs down for specific reasons (like high toxicity, improperly purified drug, lack of efficacy, etc).

Tl;dr
Don't let pilot drug studies and misguided conspiracy theories keep people from helping others.

posted on my fb. you have my support.

You have my FULL support... My cat has mouth cancer... She has only 2 weeks to a month left to live... It's horrible....

This I admire, I'll dig around and see if I can scrounge up some cash.

21, soon 22 year old furry fighting the "almost done stage" of my treatment

It affects everyone regardless of species, age, sex, fur color, creed, faith, and everything inbetween

I hope to see more and more like this, this is awesome and I know that most Furries have a big heart for people and to stop ugly things like cancer, let's go get all the ugly out of the world!...:)

Gratz songdog ^^

yea dont care

You are just so cool it blows my mind.

yup

So... where are our promised "later this week" site updates?

Yeah fuck cancer.

Cancer sucks very hard, i'm glad i don't have it but i feel sorry for those poor people who had to deal with it, i wish i can donate if i had paypal or with another way to do so. i would be happy to do so

i read up a few weeks ago on multiple sights, vitamin D defficiencys lead to cancer. the lack of the vitamin itself openning you up for it.

they said just to get rid of it would be to check to see if you have the defficiency most find they are,.. and if you are, they say 10.000 IU a day of vitamin D a day will eventually clear it up completely. thats 5 2k pills a day till you get rid of the cancer and making sure your D levells dont drop again

Vitamin D regulates normal cell growth in humans and with the lack of it, the cells mutate and become disfunctional. when you start taking just a little more than your normal dose to cure yourself of the deficiency, it also turns those cells back to normal and cures the cancer in the long run.

I want folk to be aware that the high cancer rates in the US, canada, and other north-laying, first-world countries is in part due to our lifestyles of having to live indoors- we're waay away from the sun far too much.

Here's an ABC news broadcast on how much sunlight exposure on sun can help prevent and treat cancer...

A news broadcast on vitamin D levels and breast cancer... There are videos on youtube of vitami D3-loaded immune cells EXPLODING cancer cells. This is true of SEVENTEEN TYPES OF CANCER.

Complete information on vitamin D- all the health issues it helps against and is linked to.

SERIOUSLY! I have myself had a hand AMPUTATED due to bone cancer when I was 21, and one of my friends, Raserei, a furry also, has had leukemia and had vitamin D supplementation to prevent the spread and return of his cancer. He got it when he was 19, and lives in washington state.

Also, I got type 1 diabetes when I was 15. Guess what? vitamin D3 majorly prevents type 1 AND type 2 (adult) diabetes.

FUCKING PAY ATTENTION >O<

The BASIC vitamin D supplementation reccomended for teenagers and adults by the leading researchers on vitamin D3 per day is 5,000 IU PER DAY in spring, fall and winter. If you are a computer person, in elementary, middle school, college, or at work inside all day, go for it. MAJOR helper in energy, mental concentration and the like. GET MAGNESIUM TOO. vitamin D3 over 4,000 iu/day makes tons of people show their magnesium deficiencies, because nearly nodofy eats dark green salads every day.

Magnesium and vitamin D3 will help against insomnia, carpal tunnel syndrome (mouse arm), and a huge spread of issues. Get informed, help yourself cheaply, avoid the HUGE cancer bills and issues.

<3 to my furry brothers and sisters, -illys

Fun fact: vitamin d is 500 times more toxic by weight than rat poison, so DO take these supplements responsibly, folks (consult a doc about your dosage/get blood work).

It does help a lot if used responsibly, especially for blood cancers.

Actually, there's an argument by a person on the 'net exactly on that subject, that vitamin D is rat poison. Sadly, there is no contact information available for the source of the idea, bit it is true that rats die from consuming milk with added vitamin D. That was his point, that milk products apperantly were supplemented with D to kill off pests.

However, it's important to read the actual information from practicing doctors and researchers to get a clear image on the matter.

The major concern about taking vitamin D3 is calcium overload, which happens when vitamin D3 and calcium supplements are taken together. Vitamin D3 ups the intake of calcium, and several other alkiline metals, among which are magnesium, in the gut. If osteoporosis, osteopenia, hardened arteries or other aging-related issues are the problem, one needs vitamin k2, the signal-nutrient which tells calcium which organs to go to and not to go to.

You are correct, Metonymy, that it's important to get blood tests done to reach a proper understanding of one's actual needs.

For clarity, most side-effects that folk experience on D3 is due to magnesium deficiency or calcium overload. The upper limit for vitamin D3 intake has been found in practice to be 40,000 iu/day over at least four months, which is equivalen to 1 gram/day. 2,000 iu is effective for seeing a difference in energy levels and lightening a small depression, 5,000 iu is estimated to be the amount used by an average adult male brain in a day.

Metonomy is correct, these items are measured in micrograms- be informed and work with your GP (general practicioner).

Yeah, I wasn't saying it is rat cancer, just saying it is way more toxic for you. Partly for the reasons you say. :) it also can overclock your nerves, giving you symptoms similar to tetanus, if I recall right (it's been a while since i too neurobiology, haha)

Mainly I am just trying to keep people from buying supplement pills and taking wayyyy too many and poisoning themselves, because that is just bad news bears.

Give generously. Save a Rex.

Awesome! Thanks for the heads up!

Man, so many people spillin' their haterade all over. Don't they know it's full of disrespectrolytes?

Yes there are cures to some cancers, I'm not some idiot who's just like DURR CANCER BAD IMMA GIVE MAH MONIES N TIME.

Cancer killed my 14 year old best friend. People still die from it every day. We don't understand everything about it yet, but we understand a lot now. How? Through the generosity and hard work of others! So, continuing in that path, is why I'm doing this.

I am a survivor of Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I was diagnosed in June of 2011 and I am living proof that there are cures that work for certain types of cancer. I spent my last summer getting chemotherapy and it was no picnic. I just had my 3 month checkup and my oncologist said I am doing well.

ffffffffffffucks

I'm so proud of him ^^

As a cancer survivor, so I can appreciate this cause a lot more than most people. It's hard for someone to truly understand the horror that going through a fight with cancer really is. Keep on riding Daiquiri, make us proud.

I was set to do the Victorian Ride to Conquer Cancer in Australia but by signing up I would actually be agreeing to raise $2500 and if I didn't, I would have to pay the remainder myself. I still want to do it but can't take the chance. If that happens I simply don't have the money to cover it =/

I don't have a pay pal so Im rooting for you.
For my cousin who died when i was a infant.
From a Brain tumor.

Good luck and hope it will be enough to end Cancer.

I'm a big advocate for fighting cancer and pro science since it actually works, but after researching this fund raiser for a while this morning, now being out of time to continue, I just cannot find anything confirming how the money gets spent. How much on the dollar is spent on what, etc. etc. It was quite difficult to even locate who in the end even spends the money.

anyone able to help on this? After the whole American Cancer Society thing, (being I live in America) I'm finding myself far more skeptic on things like this.

The cause is good, the people participating are good, but the blind faith put into the people in charge is never good.
