I found this interesting because an acquaintance of mine is considering undergoing hyperbaric treatments to increase oxygenation to his cancer. I did not know that “When a tumor lacks oxygen, it releases just about every growth factor you can think of, which often results in metastasis.”
America's epidemic of overkill with medical treatments.....This is a long article from The New Yorker magazine, but worth your time as a consumer, to read and absorb. Do your research, get 2nd and 3rd opinions, and question, question, question, always.

Enjoy the SuperBowl today if you are watching. It will stream live on CBS so I'll be watching it, too. I plan on making fresh guac. and baked corn chips this afternoon. Yay.
