Exercise, Supplements & Alcohol

This very interesting study http://www.stjude.org/act/0,2526,418_2045_19156,00.html

shows three things: Exercise builds bone health for post ALL patients. Nutritional supplements & alcohol may inhibit bone health.

Now I didn't expect that finding at all. I would have expected to see supplements aiding bone development.

I wonder why the opposite occured?

Little David Overcomes

Little David has overcome in his battle with leukemia. The Lord's hand has helped him make it through all the chemotherpay and procedures that were part of his treatment at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis. When he started they cure rate there was 80% for kids (70% nationwide). They have since raised the published cure rate to 85%. We were told yesterday by his attending physician that the new cure rate will be raised to 92 or 93% for ALL. That is based on the current feedback for kids in his protocol.

We are excited that this kind of progress has been made with the research group our son is part of. The things learned will help other cancer patients...especially kids with cancer...to find cures faster and with fewer side effects!!!
