Don't you get a pang of sadness when another name is added to this list? You might not know the well-known personality personally, but they are part of your life. Do you really feel the same pang of sadness when you hear on the news that people in some far-off land have died in some catastrophe? Of course, there will be people (hopefully) who mourn our passing. I was referring to innocent bystanders who shouldn't be traumatised from seeing a random stranger crashing and dying in front of them. But, somehow, I think you knoew that...

red750 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Richard Simmons has died aged 76. The fitness guru’s passing is being reported by TMZ, who said law enforcement sources had said they and fire department officials responded to a call from his housekeeper from his Los Angeles home just before 10am on Saturday (13.07.24) and pronounced him dead at the scene. His death falls a day after his 76th birthday – and came after he announced in March he had been diagnosed with skin cancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgwilson Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 His death was reported as to be from natural causes, whatever that means. Unless the skin cancer was a melanoma that had spread, that is not likely to be the cause. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Melanoma's are a bad form of skin cancer that often returns later. I got a Kilo of my back removed in 1987. The surgeon must have done an extremely good job. Nev 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetrack Posted July 14 Author Share Posted July 14 My Dad died from Melanoma, it's a horrible way to die. He had a small skin cancer lump on the side of his face, right in front of his right ear. He had it removed when he was around 70. At 78, it came back, bigger and better than ever. He left it too late to see the Doc. The Doc called the brother and myself in and told us it was probably too late, it had spread to his lymph gland in his neck directly below - but he was going to operate on him, anyway. The Doc ended up taking a massive chunk out of his face and neck and left him disfigured. I know the Doc was desperate and trying to do his best, but it was wasted effort. He got Dad to undergo severe radiation treatment, but it was so bad, Dad gave it up. He only lasted about 9 mths after the operation, and the last 2-3 months was hell for him - bedridden with a morphine injector strapped to his stomach. I can remember him asking us to shoot him to put him out of his misery, and we were appalled - but it probably would have been the best thing, in retrospect. You wouldn't let a dog suffer like that. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man emu Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 A recently study, funded by the Cancer Council of Australia, and carried out at Sydney University, found that daily doses of about 1000 mg of vitamin B3 reduces the occurrence of those less dangerous skin cancers, whose names I don't remember, by about 25% after 12 months. The researchers, having found that, are now investigating if vitamin B3 is useful against melanoma, but it's early days yet. I've got that white Celtic skin type, so I'm taking the suggested dose. It's only been a few weeks, so nothing to report. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetrack Posted July 14 Author Share Posted July 14 OME, you sure you got that doseage rate correct? Vitamin B3 is also known as Niacin. The recommended daily allowance is 18mg for males over 14 yrs of age. Ingesting over 35mg a day is regarded as dangerous to the health of the person. https://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-924/niacin-and-niacinamide-vitamin-b3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man emu Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 2 hours ago, onetrack said: OME, you sure you got that doseage rate correct? Yes. The correct compound is nicotinamide, which is different from niacin. Besides, my GP actually wrote a script for me to make sure that I got the correct one. Here's a report on the research, https://www.cancercouncil.com.au/news/the-role-of-vitamin-b3-in-reducing-non-melanoma-skin-cancer/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
