This was the article last week that I found partlicularly interesting--that a significant percentage of cancers start as infections. [share; no paywall]

The book Outlive, by Peter Attia, provides a pretty interesting discussion of the causes of serious illnesses, and provides recommendations on how to reduce your risk.
Hint - Like building a tree, you should have started 40 years ago. Today is also a good time to start.

I work in nuclear medicine. My company manufactures a radioactive drug that is in late-stage clinical trials. This stuff is extremely specific, targeting only the cancer cells. Once on the market it will reduce or eliminate the need for chemotherapy. If you've ever seen someone go through chemo you know what a godsend this is.

Martin Blaser's book "Missing Microbes" does a nice job summarizing the findings around the H. pylori and cancer link and other associated human-microbe-disease interactions. Worth a read if interested in this space.

Wow
OMG, really? I really take exception to your last line, wow just wow…. As someone who’s wife has spent the past 20 years of her career working to fight food insecurity and homelessness you are way off base… if she cared about money those are the last places she’d work, plenty of money elsewhere. That take is such a narcissist take that I’m just beyond words… go talk to someone who is working to help others and have a deep conversation before you make a statement like that….sometimes people do actually have empathy and want to help others in a less fortunate position.
Sorry this just really struck a nerve to have such a pessimistic view of others and to suggest anyone fighting cancer or homelessness is only in it for themselves and money is disheartening to me… Quote:

Money does make the world go round, no doubt. Having said that, we here are thankful for this, 'mitigate the side effects of the primary prescription'. Chemo 'life' is partially 'mitigated' [lets use that word here too] in terms of the side effects largely with said drugs. I've seen this three times over 30 years and that aspect is well appreciated here with the 3rd iteration/person in my circle. Your point is factual, but I can see how/why folks are taking exception to it. I personally feel, and only recently seeing the costs of the treatment, that ours INS costs seem a lot like less like money in the wind which my former prospective gave me.

Yeah I guess that explains private equity buying up all those homeless camps.
