POPSObama's Portrait Auction To Help Ed Post's Surgery A video about Port, as well as the portrait and more of Murphy’s work, may be seen at Murphy’s Web site, www.mmike.com. Without the surgeries, Port’s tumor will continue to grow. He doesn’t know at what rate or how much damage it will cause. “Only God knows,” he said. Murphy and Port met through a mutual friend about two years ago. Murphy said he’s been telling Port’s story for about a year and a half, after Port came to his studio asking him to create a video portrait of him to submit to “Extreme Makeover,” a television show that was canceled a few years ago. Socially, his life has been difficult. People often don’t take the time to know Port for himself, and young children are afraid of him. “They think I’m a monster,” he said. “That upsets me.” He was engaged to a “kind, sweet-hearted girl for awhile,” but she ended it. “I think she was worried that if I couldn’t get the surgery, I would die,” Port said.

POPScancer diagnosis breakthrough The researchers went on to study a length of hair representing 6 months' growth from a breast cancer patient whose hair fell out following chemotherapy. X-ray diffraction at three points along the hair showed clear evidence of the ring at the position furthest from the hair root, a fainter ring at the middle point, and complete absence of the ring close to the root. "This progressive reduction in the intensity of the ring appears to correlate with the patient's course of treatment and possibly indicates the eradication of the cancer as a result of that treatment," As for the reason for the ring pattern, they suggest it may represent "incorporation of extraneous lipid material into the fiber as a result of the presence of a tumor." It may also be that the disease affects hair follicles in some way. Further testing is needed to establish the accuracy of this methodology as a diagnostic test for breast cancer, they conclude

POPSPot Shrinks Tumors; US Government Knew In '74 From the article : News coverage of the Madrid discovery has been virtually nonexistent in this country. The news broke quietly on Feb. 29, 2000 with a story that ran once on the UPI wire about the Nature Medicine article. This writer stumbled on it through a link that appeared briefly on the Drudge Report Web page. The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Los Angeles Times all ignored the story, even though its newsworthiness is indisputable: a benign substance occurring in nature destroys deadly brain tumors.
