Basal cell carcinoma Basal cell carcinoma: The most common type of skin cancer, a disease in which the cancer cells resemble the basal cells of the epidermis, the outer layer of the skin. Basal cell carcinomas usually appear as the classic "sore that doesn't heal." A bleeding or scabbing sore that seems to get somewhat better, then recurs and starts to bleed, may be a basal cell carcinoma. Most basal cell carcinomas are on the face and neck where the skin is exposed to sunlight. However, a fair number show up on parts of the body such as the abdomen, leg, and scalp exposed to little or no sunlight. Basal cell carcinomas typically are locally invasive. They tend to burrow in locally and not metastasize (spread) to distant locations. Small basal cell carcinomas can be removed by being scraped and burned (electrodesiccation and curettage). Larger basal cells can be removed by surgery. Basal cell carcinomas on the scalp, ears, and sides of the nose, as well as those which have come back after being treated, are treated best by Mohs surgery. One basal cell carcinoma means an increased risk of developing another. Prudent sun precautions and annual skin checkups by the doctor are advisable.

Stop those stupid credit offers after all. Did you know they 'prescreen' you and send you offers only if they like what they see? Sounds obvious to me, but I think this is bigger than meets the eye.
Stop receiving "pre-screened" offers of credit in your mail for 5 years. I just did it.

Are You A Resident of Hometown America or ELS?
Hometown America has focused all its efforts on stealing the money of seniors. ELS has bought out most of Hometown's 'useless' properties. They have bigger plans and cash at hand. They are entangled with FedEx and Hometown, too. Sell your stock FAST. FYI, you will pay less taxes per year on a home and land you actually own than with one of these plasticized community properties. A $600 per month lot fee with a neighbor you can hear doing baby talk to their cat or hearing major diarrhea spurts is what ELS is all about. ELS is no China.

Prescription for Nutritional Healing
By Phyllis A. Balch, CNC
Prescription for Nutritional Healing is the most thorough drug-free guide to managing chronic conditions I have ever come across. It is an 800 page, A to Z, guide providing alternative and holistic approaches to almost every common disease. I highly recommend this book to anyone, especially practicing dietitians, looking to expand their holistic knowledge. If you, like me, consistently counsel patients not responding to or interested in Western Medicine, then this is your answer.
