BLUBBER

24.07.07, 6:36pm

How nice to read some humour in the comments column. You wouldn't like to join the McCann debate in that comments column, there are seriously anal contributors there, I do think they have been overdosing on the walrus blubber.

WHALE BLUBBER IS SAFE!

I think you have got your remedies mixed up. Mr Marshall and I have been taking homeopathic whale blubber for years and it has left us feeling 'tip top'.

What you are thinking about is remedies based upon walrus blubber, which is available from homeopaths in Iceland. Thats a nasty one. We tried it a few years ago an got a nasty load of carniverous triffids in one of our herbacious borders. The one on the far side of the lawn. They nearly had Bennie our golden retriever done for.

Luckily we managed to get rid of them with some beams of wifi RADIATION. But it was a trial I tell you, a trial.

HOMEOPATHIC WHALE BLUBBER

24.07.07, 3:53pm

N Marshall should know that homeopathic blubber is EXTREMELEY dangerous it's efficacy is well noted in some books I read somewhere. It causes explosive expulsions of bottom gasses directly contributing to global warming and acid rain. Acid rain causes mutations in plants making them carnivorous and mobile, just like in that film Day of the Triffids.

THERE IS A NATURAL SOLUTION!

Well Mr Marshall and I have been taking homeopathic whale blubber to lower our colesterol. We get it from a friend in Norway. They all use that remedy up there. The BIG PHARMA companies haven't stopped the harvesting of the whale in that country so the whole population can benefit from the many homeopathic nactual remedies that the whale can give us.

Taking whale blubber corresponds with the scientific law of homeopaths that 'like cures like'. I know it worksb because Mr Marshall and I have excellent colesterol and we don't need to go to a doctor to get it tested.

Its a scandal that it whale isn't available to everyone in Britain.

Statin looks to much like Stalin to me. I wouldn't trust these 'so-called' 'medicins' even if they we're the last resort

SCIENTISTS

24.07.07, 3:12pm

oh for god's sake why can't they just sort it out and give a definite answer? have cancer or be fat isn't much of a choice.
speaking as a mother i think i'd just make sure my child kept away from fonemasts and vaxinations and then they wouldn't get cancer in the first place.
and does anyone else find it a bit suspicious that they say it 'merits further research'? and who's going to do that research? very convenient.

LOWERING CHOLESTEROL LEVELS

24.07.07, 1:31pm

In addition to what is known a dietary cholesterol. The liver also produces cholesterol. As one gets older the system for regulating this function can start to fail; increasing cholesterol output is one of these.
Statins are used in the management of this failing, by lessening the production of cholesterol in the liver.
We all have the potential to suffer from this as part of the aging process. And so It's not nessessary the result of
riot est living that causes this problem..

To, The_Way_I_See_It.

What a despicable thing to say. Do you not realise that having high cholestrol is not neccessarily from a person's lifestyle or diet? My sister has high blood pressure and her life style has always been impeccable and her diet very healthy. I know lots of people in a similar position. Sometimes high cholestrol, high blood pressure,etc can run in families. God forbid that you never get any of these problems because if ever you do, I hope you remember your comment.
