The Snowball Effect

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

The Snowball effect is a figurative term for a process that starts from an initial state of small significance and builds upon itself, becoming larger (graver, more serious), and perhaps potentially dangerous or disastrous (a vicious circle, a “spiral of decline”), though it might be beneficial instead (a virtuous circle). This is a very common cliché in cartoons and modern theatrics.

Your Health can be like that too!

Mine started off with asthma. But did I stop smoking my Lucky Strikes… NOT on your Life. Then the Surgeon General came out with the warning Cigarette Smoking Causes Cancer, what did I do? I switched to Marlboro’s because they had a filter.

When my Mother was diagnosed with C.O.P.D. she did not quit smoking nor did I.

When I was diagnosed with C.O.P.D. I did QUIT… For awhile…

According to the National Cancer Institute, Tobacco is one of the strongest cancer-causing agents. Tobacco use is associated with a number of different cancers, including lung cancer, as well as with chronic lung diseases and cardiovascular diseases.

* Cigarette smoking remains the leading preventable cause of death in the United States, causing an estimated 438,000 deaths – or about 1 out of every 5 – each year.

* In the United States, approximately 38,000 deaths each year are caused by exposure to secondhand smoke.

* Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among both men and women in the United States, with 90 percent of lung cancer deaths among men and approximately 80 percent of lung cancer deaths among women attributed to smoking.

* Smoking also increases the risk of many other types of cancer, including cancers of the throat, mouth, pancreas, kidney, bladder, and cervix.

* People who smoke are up to six times more likely to suffer a heart attack than nonsmokers, and the risk increases with the number of cigarettes smoked. Smoking also causes most cases of chronic obstructive lung disease, which includes bronchitis and emphysema.

* In 2007, approximately 19.8 percent of U.S. adults were cigarette smokers.

* Twenty-three percent of high school students and 8 percent of middle school students in this country are current cigarette smokers.
(See Tobacco Statistics Snapshot for references for this information.)

In the snowball effect the common analogy is with the rolling of a small ball of snow down a snow-covered hillside. As it rolls the ball will pick up more snow, gaining more mass and surface area, and picking up even more snow and momentum as it rolls along. This can work in reverse too. The Snowball effect can be a good thing.

HI YO Silver

The Lone Ranger and his white horse silver

I’m dating myself now!

The Lone Ranger is an American radio and television show created by George W. Trendle and developed by Fran Striker.

The title character is a masked Texas Ranger in the American Old West, originally played by George Seaton, who gallops about righting injustices with the aid of his clever, laconic Native American sidekick, Tonto. Departing on his white horse Silver, the Ranger would famously say “Hi-yo, Silver, away!” as the horse galloped toward the setting sun.

Silver, silver, silver everywhere. Did you know Silver ions and silver compounds show a toxic effect on some bacteria, viruses, algae and fungi, typical for heavy metals like lead or mercury, but without the high toxicity to humans that are normally associated with these other metals. Its germicidal effects kill many microbial organisms in vitro.

Hippocrates, the “father of medicine” wrote that silver had beneficial healing and anti-disease properties, and the Phoenicians used to store water, wine, and vinegar  in silver bottles to prevent spoiling.

In the early 1900’s people would put silver dollars  in milk bottles to prolong the milk’s freshness.The exact process of silver’s germicidal effect is still not entirely understood, although theories exist. One of these is the oligodynamic effect, which explains the effect on microorganisms but would not explain antiviral effects.

Silver is widely used in topical gels and impregnated into bandages because of its wide-spectrum antimicrobial activity. Silver compounds were used to prevent infection in World War I before the advent of antibiotics

Well I didn’t know either until a few weeks ago. Something happens to you when your diagnosed with cancer. You become very pro-active about you health, which I should have been for years I must add. But I guess many of us need this kind of shock to ground us in reality.

All I wanted to know was home much time I had at first.

Lung Cancer Prognosis

Overall (considering all types and stages of lung cancer), 16% of people with lung cancer survive for at least five years. Survival rates tend to be low when compared to the 65% five-year survival rate for colon cancer, 89% for breast cancer, and over 99% for prostate cancer.

* People who have stage I NSCLC and undergo lung surgery have a 60%-70% chance of surviving five years.

* People with stage II NSCLC have a five-year survival rate of about 30%-40%, and those with stage IIIa have a 20%-30% rate.

* People with extensive nonoperable lung cancer have an average survival duration of nine months or less.

* Those with limited SCLC who receive chemotherapy have a two-year survival rate of 20%-30% and a five-year survival rate of 10%-15%.

* Less than 5% of people with extensive-stage SCLC (small cell cancers) are alive after two years, with a median survival range of eight to 13 months.

Well that’s a scary thought! More later….
