Marvel and DC Legend George Pérez Says He Has Less Than a Year to Live

Arthur T Knackerbracket has processed the following story:

George Pérez announced his cancer diagnosis on his Facebook page, and fans quickly posted messages of support.

Even Marvel and DC fans who don't normally pay attention to the names of individual comics artists may know George Pérez. The retired artist penciled Marvel's The Avengers in the 1970s and again in the 1990s, drew DC's The New Teen Titans in the 1980s, penciled DC's Crisis on Infinite Earths in the 1980s, and relaunched Wonder Woman in the 1980s as both writer and artist. He also worked on other popular comics, including Superman and Silver Surfer.

On Tuesday, Pérez posted a message on his official Facebook page announcing the sad news that he has stage 3 pancreatic cancer. 

"It is surgically inoperable and my estimated life expectancy is between 6 months to a year," he wrote.

Any fans wish to comment?

    At the least he won't get to see where woke comics and his company are going in the future. Non-binary super-but-equitable zir just won't have the same ring to it.

      I love it when I see "woke" thrown around. Conveniently and neatly summarizes you and tells us all we need to know about you.

      Uh oh, I criticized you. THAT MUST MEAN I'M TRYING TO "CANCEL" YOU!!!

        Yeah yeah yeah.

        UH OH, I criticized YOU. That must mean I'm an ultra nazi bigot from the stone age. Every supposition you make about me is automatically true. The TV says so and the TV tells me what to think.

      I believe the question was whether any fans wish to comment or not. You sir, on the other hand, can fuck right the hell off.

    http://www.healingcancernaturally.com/fenbendazole-cancer-treatment.html [healingcancernaturally.com]
    "A research paper from 2018 Fenbendazole acts as a moderate microtubule destabilizing agent and causes cancer cell death by modulating multiple cellular pathways showed this compound (sold at Amazon as Panacur Canine Dewormer) to actually have anti-cancer properties. ... seven patients with terminal pancreatic cancer (given a very short time to live): five saw their tumors reduced and held "at bay" (without total elimination) which allowed them to live a normal life long after they were supposed to die. Two actually experienced total remission (NED - "no evidence of disease"), one after seven and the other after four months."

    Anyway, don't want to hope out false hope, and small studies can be misleading, but Fenbendazole and similar is something George Pérez may want to look into given he has little to lose and possibly much to gain.

    Coincidentally, just used some Fenbendazole from Amazon to (precautionarily) deworm my dog...

    A ketogentic diet as well as water-only fasting are also other options to look into.

      If i had cancer (i don't because i take my mushrooms) i would taking lots of Turkey Tail every day. Like more than 2 heaping tablespoons, or more, as tolerated. Might still be curable if you hurry the hell up.

    You mentioned cancer. At the risk of sounding nutty, I wanted to mention: apricot kernels.

    A friend of mine had metastatic prostate cancer almost two decades ago. After surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, he went into remission. However, given the type of cancer he had, his five year prognosis was poor. He was put on a regimen of monthly PSA tests (these serve as tumour markers). Five years later, his monthly PSA test results began to shoot up, indicating cancer was returning. He had done some independent research on the benefits of kernels and initially began consuming apple seeds, later switching to apricot kernels after a month. Consuming kernels eventually zeroed his markers.

    After consuming 10 apricot kernels per day for 10 years with no known side effects, he had his blood analysed for the presence of cyanide by CSIRO, an Australian Government body. The results showed the level of cyanide were less than that of an average person. At the 10 year mark after his cancer, radiography of the whole body and measurements of cancer markers showed no detectable presence of cancer.

    Overall, my friend's been having kernels for 15 years. In this time, he has been off the kernels only three times. Each time, his PSA went up after he stopped. Each time he resumed taking kernels, and PSA dropped down to zero. So he now plans to stay on kernels for life. He prefers kernels from this Australia source: https://chitree.com.au/. [chitree.com.au] He's sourced kernels from China and Turkey as well. He says there are many providers, including Ebay sellers. He sourced Chinese kernels once when there was a shortage from his Australia source - he says due to their smaller size, he consumed more of the Chinese kernels.

    From what I gather, it's important the kernels taste bitter (akin to marzipan), and be freshly-cracked and never heat-treated. He says once the packet containing the kernels is opened and exposed to air, the kernels start to lose their nutritional value. He stores his kernels in airtight containers in the freezer.

    He's also advised people he knows suffering other types of cancer to consume kernels (no money involved - he's just a happy consumer). He shared a couple of stories of amazing recovery with me. I've consumed kernels myself (the ones from Chi Tree) and sent some to family and friends. A relative with BPH said his sonographer noticed a reduction in prostate enlargement after he started consuming kernels.

    There is also a Facebook group of people consuming these kernels all over the world: https://m.facebook.com/groups/288161687984373/?refid=18&__tn__=C-R [facebook.com] . Buried there, among the spam is a post from 2-3 years ago. with pictures of a letter from an NHS doctor. On NHS letterhead, it describes an unusual recovery from advanced rectal cancer. The doctor writes that his patient credited his recovery to consumption of apricot kernels.

    Sorry for the brain dump! Figured that, as a doctor, you'd be able to handle it better than most. :-) I trust your mother stays well and wish your family the best!

    If you are interested, I can put you in touch with my friend.
