Hi Santosh,
Thank you for sending me your research on this topic. I look forward to it.
You are right, after I read Jayant's post, it went into file 13 (delete
section). There was little that Jayant said that contradicted me. Unlike you
and a few others, Jayant even agreed with me about the kani existing in Goa,
albeit not exclusively. :=)) I am still confused what is your issue with my
writings. To repeat:
1. The Goan kani, which you deny exists - hence this discussion is really moot.
2. The possible deleterious effects of surgery in cancer - for whatever reason
- REPEAT by whatever mechanism.
3. The deleterious effects of surgery on the immune system. Please see your own
repeated posts on this (REPEAT repeated posts) prior to Jayant's post. Are you
doing a bit of 'yetha or vetha rree'? This is the fastest 'yetha or vetha ree
/ turn-around' that I have seen. And THIS is embarrassing for someone who calls
himself a scientist. Likely you really do not know what you are writing. (Like
denying Jayant's written statement / belief in the Goan kani)
I know about animal experiments. In my fellowship, I worked on drug
radio-sensitizers using mice and primates. Yet thanks for your offer to shed
some light if needed. Likely you know, but for the benefit of other readers,
the animal experiment often provide the observation / result. They may or may
not provide explanation to the cause of the observation.
In a related simile, Galileo observed the earth revolves around the sun.
Galileo did not know about Newton's gravitation and other astronomers' theories
why that happened. The mauxis had the power of observation. The explanations
for their observations is / are for latter-day scientists to work on and
advance. And there may be several explanations for the observations which are
not mutually exclusive.
I look forward to seeing your mail and work on this subject together with
perhaps a copy of Jayant's post. I would appreciate if you kept this as the
last public post on this topic. Unless of course, if you want to wager with me
to donate, to a charity of my designation, if I show you studies in mice and /
or humans showing the possible deleterious effects of major surgery on cancer
survival compared to smaller operations (beyond of course the operative
mortality).:=)) This is the thrust of the mauxis' kani, in case you missed it.
You will soon have a chance at maintaining your reputation of zapping me on
another mauxi's kani.
You know I was kidding about the wager.:=))
Kind Regards, GL

Sorry to note that you have not read the papers cited by Jayant. Let me assure
you that they do not describe the so-called mouse experiment that you claimed
was done a few years ago. Indeed, one of the papers, the 1994 one from Judah
Folkman's lab completely refutes your claim about the involvement of the immune
system.
