AdamD I remember some yrs ago seeing a documentary on Hawking and they painted him as a devoted follower of Christ.Perhaps this was in his early days.He does make reference to god in the Brief History of Time, but this is no endorcement of what he really believes now.

Belief to me means nothing to me .It is how you treat you fellow man that really counts.Religion has destroyed belief in spirituality.I shall remain sceptical and live in hope,tempered with the will to survive.

Talking of Prof Hawking, has everybody caught up with this?

Seems the Chaser has competition when it comes to being offensive...

Yes, Pericles - but at least the Hawking cartoon has the redeeming feature of being funny. The 'Chaser' skit wasn't.

You won't find me arguing differently CJ

It was the moment we all realized that they had finally run out of ideas.

A season too far.

Cancer misdiagnosis leaves patient permanently damaged
In 2002 Cary Symons was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL) - a slow developing disease which often requires no treatment.

Two years after she became ill, Cary was told by Dr Dodds from St Vincent’s hospital that he believed the CLL had transformed into a deadly cancer so she went on to have chemotherapy.

Two years after her treatment she went to the Peter MacCallum Centre in Melbourne where she was told she couldn’t possibly have had the deadly cancer she was treated for.

...were bombarded with an increasing number of pollutants,poisons and additives in our food...

overloaded with sufferers of acute illnesses and degenerative diseases...Thanks to stress,fatigue and heavily processed foods with refined sugar and high levels of salt,.. we're getting sicker.

The Australian pharmaceutical industry is now worth $17 billion a year...It's a business phenomenon with multinationals growing rich from our illnesses...

Via the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme alone,the taxpayer paid $6.45 billion of that sum.

Last year,another 119 drugs were added to the Scheme's comprehensive list of over 2,600 drugs.

"We are a health system that keeps sick people alive..we do very little in reversing the problem,"..says Professor Ian Brighthope.

Cancer rates are soaring..around 40,000 are dying from it each year..that's one in every three of us dying of cancer.

Statistics reveal the battle against cancer is being lost.

In 1986, 53,000 people were diagnosed with the most common forms of cancer. Within 20 years that doubled to over 100,000 and by 2011, around 115,000 people will get the bad news.

And Dr Hungerford says Australian soils are so depleted from a mixture of age and farming techniques,that our food simply doesn't contain enough key micro-nutrients.

"In the soil we need to get selenium, magnesium, zinc, boron,iodine--these are all anti-cancer nutrients,they are also anti-allergy nutrients.

our shopping aisles are full of preserved and coloured foods,fed daily to our children who are suffering cancers at earlier and earlier in life....not to mention vacinations..[and micro-particulate..the two biggest causes..

"We are giving them the most nutrient deplete diet in the history of human kind.

They've got much greater immunological challenges and against that they've got the weakest immune defence."...

Coupled with this is an ever-increasing cocktail of pollutants, pesticides and colourings present in our food.

"The things that really go into our food..pesticides, poisons, colourings, food additives unknown in human history,..into the human diet
it's poisons in the environment and they are everywhere."
its deliberated eugenics
