The Future

What will the future hold for the human race?  When I was a kid, I read stories and news articles of how I would have a flying car when I grew up.  I read stories about vacation trips to the moon and mars.  Needless to say it hasn't happened, yet. We are still using gasoline engines and haven't cured cancer yet or prolonged our life spans, yet.  Personally, I'd like to see a flying car and cures for cancer and prolonged life spans.  I'm not sure if it will happen in my lifetime.  What would you like to see?


"A flying car retailing for $227,000 could be on roads in a matter of months -- and customers are already lining up to be the first to get their hands on one, its maker claims.
Just over a week ago, the Terrafugia Transition passed a significant milestone when it was cleared for takeoff by the U.S. National Highway Safety Administration. It's taken Terrafugia founder Carl Dietrich just five years to realize his dream, with some media outlets reporting that the Transition could now be on U.S. roads by the end of next year."

Old Time Cancer Cures:

Essiac was the name given to a herbal mixture from an old Ojibwe Medicine man.  The medicine man gave the recipe to a nurse named Rene Caisse.  She used it and cured many people with cancer. 







Many mushrooms are also said to contain cancer fighting properties.  The Japanese use a mushroom tea that is from reishi mushrooms.  Their cancer rate is low.

"Reishi in Cancer Research
Studies of Reishi in cancer research have been largely conducted in Japan, where Reishi was scientifically proven to have an anti-tumor effect. This research has continued in Korea, Japan, and China.
An example of Reishi's cancer-fighting potential occurred in the summer of 1986. A 39 -year old Japanese woman approached Dr. Fukumi Morishige, M.D., Ph.D, a renowned Japanese surgeon and a member of the Linus Pauling Institute of Science and Medicine, for help in treating her lung cancer. It was a complicated case, and she had been refused an operation by several hospitals. Hopeless, she returned home where she found her husband had collected Reishi in the forests. He boiled the mushroom and gave it to her to drink as a tea.
While this was going on, she begged Dr. Morishige to do something for her cancer, regardless of its very advanced stage. From what was evident six months earlier, Morishige was surprised when he found no increase in swelling. Then he looked at her X-rays. Something wasn't right: her tumor showed as only a trace on the X-ray. When she told him she had been drinking Reishi tea, Morishige operated with great curiosity. He was "astonished" to find only scar tissue, and although cancerous cells remained, they were now benign."



Perhaps we will also be able to grow meat as we do vegetables on a farm as well as grow organs to replace failing organs rather than use a donar.
