What's up with all these celebrities passing away due to cancer?

Question

First David Bowie, then Alan Rickman, then Celine Dion's husband and brother, and now Dan Haggerty. I know that they passed away due to different kinds of cancers, but it's scary, pathetic and really depressing nonetheless.

Answer 1

I have a theory.



Around the late 60s and early 70s, mass media in the form of radio and television and movies because very affordable. Basically, everyone could afford it. And it's just gotten more afforable since then.



In order to fill the entertainment needs, more artists in the form of musicians and actors had to be used in order to create more music, television shows and movies. From this we got more celebrities and stars. And it hasn't stopped. We have more artists than ever now. Almost anyone is a celebrity. You don't even need talent or hard work to be one.



Before this all we mostly had were some movie stars and some musical acts. So the number of celebrities was quite small.



So 40 or 50 years ago there was a burst of celebrities for us to follow. And now a lot of them are in their 70s or so and they are dying off. Also keep in mind that a lot of these celebrities didn't exactly live clean, quiet lives so the odds are against them living much past the average.



And considering that the number of celebrities has mostly just been increasing, I expect that we'll be seeing more and more old celebrities in the obituary columns.

Answer 2

Cancer doesn't care if you are famous or wealthy or are a celebrity. Doesn't care what age you are or sex or if you are well loved. It just hits some people. You don't get a pass just because you are a celebrity. And as you grow older, you have a higher risk of getting one cancer or another as your various body cells begin to not be as healthy as they once were, begin to malfunction, begin to not be able to fight off stuff as efficiently as they once were able. Cancer happens. The medicos do all they can but we haven't got a magic cure for all cancers all the time. Cancer is an interesting "disease" because it's not something you catch, we still don't know why one day you're perfectly healthy but the next some of your cells have begun to turn cancerous. Identical twins who have had the exact same life (food, drink, sleep, etc.) but then one gets cancer and the other doesn't. Maybe if researchers could find out what the triggers are (and it's most likely that different cancers have different triggers), they might be more able to figure out how to NOT trigger the onset. Personally, I think it's just nature's way of trying to keep the balance on earth because if it weren't cancer taking people out, it'd be something else; we find a cure for one and some new deadly health problem shows up. Nature isn't impressed with fame or fortune or prettiness; everyone has an equal chance. People have always died from cancers, for a long time we just didn't know that's what it was that killed Tommy or Sadie, it was just some internal problem. Now the medicos can usually diagnose cancer but there aren't always cures for it. And although two guys have the exact same cancer, one may be cured with treatment but the other dies from it. ALL anyone can do is live the best life you can, love and be loved, be kind and caring as often as possible.

Answer 3

You don't even need talent or hard work to be one. Before this all we mostly had were some movie stars and some musical acts. So the number of celebrities was quite small. So 40 or 50 years ago there was a burst of celebrities for us to follow. And now a lot of them are in their 70s or so and they are dying off. It doesn't care who you are, where you're from or what you've done with your life. We do the best we can to try to understand causes and explain why it happens, but the truth is that there is no definitive answer. That's why we need to cherish every moment we have on this earth, every day we have with our loved ones and think about what may come after (do we choose to believe in heaven? and if so, how do we get there?) and the legacy we want to leave behind.

Answer 4

Because it's an illness that you can't control its just very sad that it happened



A ton of people get cancer everyday so it's not just famous celebrities singers & movies stars & whatever if they decided to list every person that had cancer in 2015 I can assure you that the list would be massive & long but the only think is is that the media of course only mentions if a celebrity has cancer actually they'll mention if a celebrity is sick with anything & died after at first they'll usually keep it a secret cause it is sad to hear about & since most likely if you have cancer your probably gonna die eventually & it's sad



But if you think it's only celebrities that get cancer your wrong



Cancer doesn't care who the heck it hits whether your rich or poor I can get it just as much as Alan Rickman did

Cancer doesn't care how old or young you are, what your race is, female or male, what you've done in your life, whether your an angel or devil doesnt care if your a baby it can hit you

Answer 5

Lots of people pass away with cancer. It doesn't discriminate. Several of the ones you mention had pancreatic cancer where the symptoms aren't there until it is really advanced - so no pain and a full life until the end? Couldn't be better really. There is no secret cure for super-rich.



Our bodies were never built to last indefinitely. It's realistic to last only 65-70 if you are lucky. It's why I find the pension age move so deplorable - David Cameron take note.

Answer 6

All in one week. I think a few other celebrities passed away from cancer this week also. Some experts say it's a particular strain of virus. That makes sense since cervical cancer is linked to HPV(irus) and some cancers in dogs and cats have vaccines. Perhaps there is a virus that damages the mitochondria of cells and that, in turn, somehow flips the cancer switch on.

It's really sad to see people die of a disease that, in my opinion, has made a lot of people in the medical and pharmaceutical industries very rich, and if it weren't for those industries' greed they might have had a cure by now.

May they rest in peace.

Answer 7

Not only these people but also Lemmy (lead singer of Motorhead) died of Cancer two days before the new year!

You would think that because all these people are so rich, they'd be able to beat Cancer (because we all know there is a cure for the rich!)

I don't know why everyone's getting cancer, but my theory is it's something in the air, water and food. The government has to populate control somehow! This is just my opinion.

David Bowie's death has affected me the most, he was my idol, I'm very devastated.

Rest in Peace David Bowie, Alan Rickman, Celine Dion's family members, Dan Haggerty, and Lemmy!

Answer 8

I know probably just as many in this age group also passed away due to cancer or similar. This seriously is nothing new, just that more reliable assessment of medical conditions is more well known in this day. A lower proportion of people die due to injury due to more proficient and advanced surgical procedures. Correct me if I am wrong but I assumed heart conditions and cancer possibly run neck and neck as reasons for mortality. Diet plays a big part with many heart conditions; not all are inherited. There does appear to be a higher proportion of people suffering from dementia though as generally people are living longer; I wonder how much that proportion is increased due to drug taking habits of the baby boomers in the 60s etc. Not many young people consider how these activities may impact upon their mental health in later years, should they live as long.



I don't think gender has much to do with the cancer rate, other than certain types of cancer are more predisposed to one sex than the other. For example, very few men would be likely to have breast cancer whereas females do not testicular cancer.

Answer 9

Cancer is the number 1 killer in the world, one common reasons is due to stress, and emotional disorders because once a person is stress, he or she's mentality will change into a state of panic and so does the body, the cells probably will get crazy and kill one another, eventually once the good cells kill all the bad cells in a certain part of the body, the part will become cancerous.



That's the reason why people that are of high status are more prone to developing cancer due to stress and a unhealthy lifestyle.

Answer 10

The media and people in general act like Celebrities are the only ones who get diseases and die. David Bowie lived to be 70 and never had to worry about where his next meal was coming from or how he'd pay for accommodation or how to keep his children nourished like 99.9% of the population on this planet. Another thing that bothers me is how the media didn't report just how serious the worlds economies were until after the new year. Oh no we don't want to spook consumer confidence at Christmas time after all those commercials pay their wages.

Answer 11

1.Drugs and booze 2.Hard Livin and life on the road, stress, lack of sleep ect, poor food choices, and they did this for many years. 3. Gay *** sex with and the hidden diseases and complications that come with it. 4. Poor crash diets. Celebs are skinny. They have personal trainers now for that. They used to just have a big bag of amphetamines or cocaine and not eating for weeks. You do the math. Those type of "diets," are cancer magnets, but also so are celeb trainer diets, if you're crashing every year, and many of them have to, or they'd look like regular, chubby, middle aged people, because that's the age they are. It's not just them. One of my relatives, after her kids finished college, got down to her high school weight through a diet program. She was being monitored by a doctor, but she looked like a raisin at that weight who had cancer. So she gained back like 30 pounds and looked great, better than ever! Two years later she had a massive heart attack and died. I think it was the diet. There is a reason the young are slim, the middle aged are usually chubby and the old are thin. I think if you mess with that too much, you're asking for trouble. And that's what we've started to do, no one wants to look old and a fat is being played as the ultimate health problem. But their isn't much research on the middle aged being totally slim and it seems that it's killing some of them. 5. The stress that comes with being a terrible and or/terribly controlling person. Anyone who has ever worked with people in TV, celebrities, ect, knows that many are very different people in person. Combine that with that, if you are terrible, you can usually get away with being terrible to people and doing terrible things to people, like sleeping with their spouses, and it takes it's toll. You may get away with it, but you'll know you're terrible and that will cause terrible stress and that will lead right to cancer. 5. Bum luck of the draw. Some people get cancer no matter what, so enjoy life while you can. And be kind to others if possible. The life you're saving may be your own, by feeling better about yourself and having less stress.

Answer 12

Everybody does, they don't make a big deal about it when your not a celebrity. You don't want cancer? Don't eat the low fat, high carb, high sugar diet that your told is "healthy". Cancer cells are sugar fueled. Ask any survivor that's been treated at one of the bigger centers like Cancer Centers of America or Johns Hopkins that treat you from all angles, you basically go on Atkins because it cuts the fuel to the cancer cells. It's not a guarantee, but it seriously improves your odds. The fact Cancer has become the new natural way to die is disturbing.

Answer 13

It reminds us of our mortality. There is no one above death, not even celebrities who society likes to deem some special breed of person. Cancer doesn't discrimate. It doesn't care who you are, where you're from or what you've done with your life. We do the best we can to try to understand causes and explain why it happens, but the truth is that there is no definitive answer. That's why we need to cherish every moment we have on this earth, every day we have with our loved ones and think about what may come after (do we choose to believe in heaven? and if so, how do we get there?) and the legacy we want to leave behind.

Answer 14

Celebrities are not immune to diseases and terminal illnesses just like ordinary people in this world. It's just that cancer is common disease among the human race. The fact is that there is a lot of attention given if a celebrity or a well know figure in the community dies from it. No one wants to hear about an deadbeat drug addict, a sixty year old homeless man who died from cancer or a young child who died at ten from a terminal illness.

I get the impression that talented people and celebrities get more attention in the media than the ordinary hard working low paid citizens in this society.

Answer 15

people die from cancer everyday. It's really not surprising that those 6 people would die of cancer in a relatively short time span. It's not as though they had much to do with each other. I could see if Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer, and Matt Leblanc all passed from different kinds of cancer a few days apart...that would be amazing. But Celine Dion's brother and Alan Rickman? Please...

Answer 16

They are regular people but with a ton of talent. They can die from anything, these four just died from cancer. That is all it is.



Do not turn it into a conspiracy theory or we'll never hear the end of it, BTW. Already saw, well it wouldn't be good to say what it was or it will make people reporting the stupid question would have wasted their time.

Answer 17

Some say that celeb's die in groups of 3, and of course that is not exactly true. But having so many, all from cancer, it is a bit eerie. And it just reinforces the thought that we should all do what we want with our lives and not put things off. In any case, good luck to the rest of us, let us be happy in that we still have some time. And for the others, RIP.

Answer 19

Oh c'mon guys!!, Don't be such a negative person, Be Optimistic!!, Brigght about the future and get along with the present, It's not because they're all dying because of this year, It's that people die from cancer all the time and a bit coincidence with those celebrites, And they're both aging, And Please don't overreact with the year, It's 2016 just a number nothing changed except from math which a man created. and thats it end of the story. and I do feel sorry for your losses.

Answer 20

My own father died of cancer this NYE just gone. (i'm only 20) It's a very common illness... 1 in 3 people affected by it whether it's themselves, family or friends. It's a very hard illness to treat and control, and can become terminal if not treated quickly.

Answer 21

Almost all human cancers are due to exposure to exogenous irritants, e.g. causes outside the body: added chemicals in our food (preservatives, etc.), water (due to water treatment, pollution, mercury), air (air pollution, smoking), and daily use (paints, gasoline fumes from pumping gas, plastics, etc.) While genes can predispose one to getting cancer (e.g. BRCA1, BRCA2 genes for breast cancer), there is usually an environmental initiator of some sort, although some cancers have idiopathic origins.

So why are so many celebrities getting cancer? For the same reasons that so many people are getting cancer: we are living longer, and in an increasingly industrialized world already crowded with other people. More people means more industry and more pollution and chemical additives in our food, air, water, environment, work, home, school products. So greater chance of exogenous products contacting us, and leading to cancer after a long time (we are living longer and that makes cancers more likely to arise).

Answer 22

Cancer hits all people of all ethnicities. As far as Glenn Grey and Bowie, they were too young and freaked me out as my husband is now 60. My father in law a surgeon, smoked cigars all of his life, didn't get throat cancer till he was 90 and passed at age 92. Ranges from babies to old people and everyone in between.

Answer 23

The short answer is this, if drugs, sex and the rock and roll lifestyle doesn't kill you, something has to. Cancer is killing many, many people in part because people are living long enough to get cancer. Our cells can only reproduce so many times before a mutation occurs, and when that happens the possibility for cancer increases significantly.

Answer 24

Cancer strikes indiscriminately, and can even affect some of the most famous people in the world. This is a list of famous people who died of cancer, including photos, birth dates, professions, and other information. These celebrities who died by cancer are listed alphabetically and include the famous cancer victims’ hometown and biographical info about them when available. Famous people with cancer who later passed away from the disease include Lyn Nofziger, George Low, and more. These notable cancer deaths include modern and long-gone famous men and women, from politicians to religious leaders to writers.

Answer 25

All of those who have died recently were in their early 60s - as far as I know, they were all smokers of tobacco - smoking cuts about fifteen years off a person's life expectancy.



Some eight million people die of cancer every year world wide. But then that's only the pop of London here in UK.

http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-us/cancer-news/press-release/2014-02-14-global-cancer-death-toll-50-per-cent-higher-in-men-than-women

Answer 26

Years of tobacco, alcohol, sugar use and abuse etc. the pesticides in our crop foods making their way to our dinner table. I believe that those are the leading causes of cancer. 70 is not old either. I want to hit mid 90's at least like all of my grandparents did.

Diet is the key in my opinion. Most of everyone who lived well into their 90's never worked out, but they ate right.

Answer 27

Its called life. Thousands of every day people die from cancer all the time, but you don't heR about it because they arnt famous. Celebrities are human like everyone else and Cancer doesn't discriminate.

Answer 28

Maybe celebrities are the ones getting cancer bc when there on stage acting there are a lot of electronics around releasing radiation.. Since their rich they have the latest technology.. The technology is all releasing radiation which messes with the blood count.. It's just a theory..

Answer 29

celebrities are imperfect just like everyone else. They can get sick and die. I am personally feel sorry for Celine Dion and their children. The Bible says in Ecclesiastes 9:5 and 6 that the living know that they will die but the dead know nothing at all... They cannot feel any pain. They are in a deep sleep awaiting resurrection. The Bible says in John 5: 28, 29

"Do not be amazed at this for the hour is coming in which all those in memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out. What a joyous day it will be to see our dead loved ones

Answer 30

Actually, many people die from cancer on a daily basis we're just acknowledging these because they're well known celebrities. Nevertheless, it is very sad and it makes us aware of how deadly overtime this disease is.

Answer 31

Cancer has been around before 2016. John Wayne, steve McQueen and steve jobs died from cancer. I mean if it isn't cancer it's old age. You just gotta make the most of your life because everyone is in the same boat and everyone will die one day.

Answer 32

I think you will find that people die of Cancer every minute of every day. It is simply coincidence that some people in the public eye died close together. That is not a mystery it is a fact of life (or death in this case).



If cancer gets you, you do not really have a choice of when to die it happens when it happens.



Instead of thinking about the famous people who have died but have lived lives beyond our wildest dreams, spare a thought for the thousands of unknown people who have died through cancer at the same time but will go unnoticed.

Answer 34

It's quite eerie, really. These celebrities were major icons in their respective fields, and to have them die within a few days of each other... ugh, David Bowie's and Alan Rickman's deaths shook me the most.

Answer 35

Many ppl die from cancer but are not celebrities so they are not mentioned. How to reduce your risk of cancer? Don't smoke, drink alcohol, overeat and see your doctor for an annual check up.

Answer 36

Daniel, what you are experiencing is celebrity coincidence. People die of cancer every day, and Big C does not discriminate between male and female. What was NOT on the press radar heavily was that these folk were DYING of cancer. It is not a sudden killer. You are just experiencing the surprise/shock that they did months/years ago as they began the march to the end.

Answer 37

As eerie as it seems, sometimes celebrities die in groups of three or more within a short amount of time. It seems to be just fate that determines their dates of death here. If Alan Rickman passed away in March or even June, no one would be spinning about these conspiracy theories of "they're all dying at the same age, of the same thing, at the same time."

Answer 38

It's a shame. Everybody dies, it's just a coincidence that it was in a weeks period and all with cancer.

Answer 39

It's not just celebrities; it can happen to anyone. It's just that people notice the celebrities more because of all the press and photos.

Answer 40

Its either due to cancer or a curse of the new year. Paul walker and james Avery were a couple big names to start 2013 a few years ago

Answer 41

It's crazy

Answer 42

Nothing new, here is a post from 7 years ago, https://answersrip.com/question/index?qid=20090628195040AAKYDwf - celebrities are always dying. Cancer happens to be the second most common cause of death, heart disease ranking first. Most of these celebs were senior and some had lived way beyond their years and lifestyles anyway (eg: Lemmy kilmister).

Answer 43

Don't really know and who does. Cancer is a horrible disease. Maybe it's all the sh*t we put in the atmosphere, and the crazy junk we feed out animals that we eat. It's down right scary.

Answer 44

you only hear about it because they are celebrities, there are thousands every day you do not see their names in the paper dying from cancer

and as yet it hasn't bee determined just what the cause is

of course smoking does not help in any way, heavy drinking is also a baddie to engage in, then there are those sun lovers who damage their skin leading to cancer

not limited to celebrities

Answer 45

What about my dad who passed away from cancer last year ?

he went to the doctor who said he was not old enough to have anything like cancer due to him been so young looking and he was a active man who should be alive today had that doctor sent him for tests.

he died a terrible death

we hear about these celebs but not the ordinary people dying from cancer.

yes celebs are mortal.

Answer 46

Cancer hasn't been just for the little people since

Silent Spring became a runaway best seller.

Answer 47

It's sad I hope we find a cure for cancer soon it happens a lot more then we actually know

Answer 48

lifestyle.

people with fame and fortune are able to indulge their appetites to a greater degree than the rest of us.

years of cocaine use, sleep deprivation from all-night parties, and sex with multiple partners -- all take a toll on the body.



the human papilloma virus can cause cancer many years after infection.

cocaine is a suspected long-term carcinogen.

sleep deprivation is a KNOWN cause of cancer.



the next big epidemic in cancers will be from cell phones, especially the 'early adopters' -- the people who started using them when cellular technology was still new.

Answer 49

if u look up celebrity deaths, you'll see a lot of them die in december or january.they like to celebrate they christmas holidays with familyand try to hold on till the new year. the fuzzy feeeling of the holidays somehow makes them feel good enough to stay alive for a few more days. and they die cause of cancer cause they eat a lot of pork, hotdogs, sausages, drink a lot of alcohol and go to the beach a lot exposing themselves to the sun constantly. westeners have the highest rate of cancer, cancer is caused by eating habits and lifestyle choices, it doenst come on its own out of nowhere

Answer 50

Causes of cancer Include genetic factors, lifestyle factors such as tobacco use, diet and physical activity; certain types of infections an environmental exposure to different types of chemicals and radiation.



So breast cancer and prostate cancer could be said to be genetic.



Lifestyle includes tobacco use, alcholl consumption, diet not eating fruit and green vegatables - eating processed food especially those containing preservatives and smoked or Processed like bacon sausages smoked fish.



Physical inactivity, sexual acquired cancers; environmental exposures such as asbestos pvc.

Answer 51

Just lost 2 dear friends from it last year. they were late 60's, early 70's. I think its age related, partially heredity (genes losing it), environmentally related and finally "choice" related (smoking, drugs (this includes the big baddy alcohol that 80% of adults in the the world have an "issue" with)). live "clean" and you're chances of living longer/healthier go up dramatically. if it tastes good don't eat it. also think salt (things that live in the sea don't get it). also think alkaline (Cancer doesn't like it either). yeah you want your PH to be as close to 7.4 as possible.

Answer 52

Because they are old. It's time for new celebrities.

Answer 53

It's just a part of life a lot of people has the C word it's horrible

Answer 54

27 and 69 are the magick numbers. It has to do with the threes, sixes, and nines. (27 would be included in that because 2 + 7 = 9 and 3 x 9 equals 27.)

Answer 55

Don't you think it is normal to people to die? We all have our time to rest eternally. So it's not about a rockstar, a singer, a politician..it is inevitable. If you feel so sorry for these people who lavishly lived their lives, better regret those great people who lived their lives serving mankind. It's a damn shame.

Answer 56

Many, many people die from cancer every day. You don't have to be a celebrity.

Answer 57

The occurrence of cancer among celebrities is no higher than the general population. You just don't see national news reports about the death of retired librarian Edna Furbisher who died of cancer of the uvula.

Answer 58

It's sad but true, all of us even celebrities have a time to go.

Answer 59

Read the book Auto Immune Disease by Author unknown at this time. It will answer your questions about so many diseases esp. cancer. It's a mind blowing, scary and frustrating truth book.

Answer 60

Cancer is an epidemic, especially here in the United States. There are cancerous chemicals such as polonium on every genetically modified fruit and vegetable, there is fluoride and bleach in our drinking water, our livestock are pumped full of poisons and bred to be so fat their bones break, our nuclear power leaks into the environment killing off numerous small towns with cancer, we have old mines that have created mountains of lead chaff killing off additional small towns, and finally we are drilling miles into the earth and pumping cocktails of chemicals into the abyss where it taints our entire underground water plates. We are all ******.

Answer 61

well you use "celebrities" but that is used for people in the spotlight. There are many others who are dying but aren't in the spotlight. it is just bad luck that two people in the spotlight have died. Plus those men were in their late stage of lives so maybe how they lived their lives have inadvertently led to cancer. They didn't know things we know now.

Answer 62

Poisons of all kinds, including stress.



This is one of the only times i've heard the word pathetic used in the proper fashion. My entire life people used it as a put down or an attack.

Answer 63

Everyone dies, even celebrities. So wake up buddy, they're just humans. They aren't the gods people like to make them out to be. Nothing lives forever, even the greatest legacies aren't immortal. We all have to die someday :|

Answer 64

Stress is what causes cancer of the worst kind. Many movie stars are stressed out. The pressure of being an idol, or trying out for a part in a movie, or wanting to be adored by your fans, or trying to get a fan club, etc., etc.. It all adds up to stress and any kind of terminal illness. That is not for me.

Answer 65

You also forgot Lemmy from MotorHead and I guess it's just an upsetting coincidence reminding us that nobody's immortal

Answer 66

2016 has just started an absolute horrible year my favourite girl group broke up, my favourite tv show has ended, everyone's either leaving something or passing away... Let's hope everything gets better later on during the year~!

Answer 67

It's due to age, once a person enters their sixties they are more susceptible to cancer.

Answer 68

Media

Answer 69

Its not just celebrities who are dying of cancer its every day people as well. Our water and food are being poisoned and the geo engineered skies are being sprayed with cancer causing chemicals every day. We inhale it. Leave it to our media to give us breaking news of celebrities dying when we have severe problems with China and Russia and all the problems we have caused in the middle east

Answer 70

Answer 71

Cancer as been killing people since the beginning my friend. Horrible way to go but it took several of my family and could possibly take me. Coincidence that some of your favorite stars died of it within a few years. Everyone dies of something, even old age, what is that?

Answer 72

Because cancer is a *****.



And to think we are only 20 days (just) into 3016 and there have already been so many deaths. Another today was Glenn fry. Sigh.

Answer 73

Cancer is s ******* ***** he doesn't care who you are, it finds who ever the **** it wants I blame all of the hormones in meat, fruits, vegetables, carcinogens. But if anyone gets diagnosed with cancer just stick to praying to God, I'm a cancer survivor btw!?!

Answer 74

Cancer has been with the human race since the day of the cave man/woman. It is only when a public figure gets and dies from the disease do people notice.

Answer 75

People die of cancer every day, it's not celebrities nor gender thing.

Answer 85

A lot of people die from cancer everyday. The only way why we hear about so many celebrities is because they are famous.

Answer 86

The fact that they are celebrities is probably what drew your attention. However, the fact that they are mostly in my generation - that group in or at the end of the "baby boom" probably has more to do with it. My generation is earning the combined wages of our life-styles, life-spans of 50 or more years, and heritage. I have lost two brothers-in-law in the last few years. In my wider circle, I have friends who have cancer. It is just that stage of life, I think, rather than any increase in the rate.

Answer 265

What's up with all these celebrities passing away due to cancer? Pray to John the Baptist. Pray to greatmartyr and healer Panteleimon. Pray to Grigorij "Novyj" Rasputin. If you cross your head (back of the head, front of the head, right temple, left temple), then the headache will go away. Plus blood is purified. To make upright perpendicular cross: using your right hand in the following way (picture below) cross yourself: touch firmly your forehead and say "In the name of the Father", touch firmly 1cm-2cm above belly button and say "and of the Son", touch firmly right shoulder (where 3 bones meet) and say "and of the Holy", touch firmly left shoulder (where 3 bones meet) and say "Spirit". Hand down: "Amen." Feet together.



According to Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov, vodka dries one's brains. Smoking is censer for the devil. People who use drugs see demons who cleverly disguise themselves as aliens. Vaccines, IVs, tooth fillings, cosmetics, certain foods and drinks, medicaments, etc. contain nanochips and/or cells of aborted fetuses; intake of which leads to demon possession. If a dog is present in house or church, then the Holy Spirit will leave. Foul language calls upon Pagan deities (demons); Holy Spirit departs on seven meters. Blood contains sins; don't donate blood; don't accept blood transfusion yourself.



Raw celandine (juice) cures cancer in minute amounts (like eating a leaf a day for 10 days, taking a break for 10 days, repeating three times); store this raw juice in dark glass container in a fridge for up to 2 or 3 years; add only hot water if you don't want to drink it cold; collect older celandine that is at least 20 meters away from the river from morning until 3 PM. Zodiac is planetary prison of demons; don't believe in horoscopes or you'll exhibit the traits of the trapped demons. Luck = Moloch = demon; don't wish people luck, please. Chanting mantras leads to demon possession; it's not the words that get you possessed; it's the rhythm. Meditation, hypnosis, astral projection, etc. lead to demon possession. Demons pretend to be ghosts and aliens. Barcode is Druid black magic curse. Most thoughts and dreams are from demons; demons never do good.



Oral, anal, masturbation, porn, fornication, adultery, fetishes, cross dressing, etc. lead to demon possession. Sionists want to be the only white people. So, they promote contraceptives (early abortion), interracial marriage, homosexuality, abortion (aborted babies go to hell for 33 and a half years and a demon is freed from hell), etc. America will be last country to switch to Euro (antichrist's world currency). Sionists want to attack Iran. So, they need an excuse, which will be the Statue of Liberty. New Sodom (New York) will be flooded after an explosion in the sea; New Gomorah (Los Angeles) will follow after. Look at what Seraphim Rose had to endure. He was a homosexual, but repented. Now, he is one the great saints of the Orthodox Church. Pray to Seraphim Rose; he'll help you. Give to charity in the name of Archangel Michael; he rescues people from hell twice a year (or brings them up a level, that is, to a level with less punishment; eventually, people are freed). Feed the pigeons; when pigeons bow down, people are saved from hell. Birds participate in time creation. It's a sin to kill birds. Dinosaurs live under our level.



They will get out through sinkholes and lakes. To kill them, go for their nerves. Save the birds; but kill the dinosaurs. First dinosaur will come out of Volga River in Russia. Since antichrist (born to a 12th generation prostitute, flying, big-nailed, gloved, pale-faced, red-eyed, Satan-possessed since he's 12 years old, homosexual man from the tribe of Dan, who wears blue robe over left shoulder while red/pink robe is underneath just like Jesus, and is surrounded by demons but people see angels of light) is around, there is no need for disputes. 666 is not forgivable; it leads to permanent hell. 666 is given with World Passport with no name on it (grey plastic card). Police 666 people on highways. Food stores and prisoners (released by the antichrist) 666 people too. Reject vaccines. Don't go into UFO to be healed by demons. Hide with Orthodox Christians to escape 666; leave all electronics behind so that antichrist's minions can't track you.



Stay away from cats because one can receive mark of the beast because of cats. Pray the Jesus prayer slowly all the time. Sleep fully clothed; also, pray to your guardian angel to have normal sleep. Dress appropriately for your gender. Women wear non-revealing dresses and head-scarfs tied at the front; no pants and no hats for women. Men wear pants and hats (outside only, except priests). Don't get any tattoos. Reject new documents and vaccines. Ask Orthodox Christian priest to bless your house. Get rid of all Occult stuff (ouija boards, talismans, amulets, barcodes, skulls, masks, astrology books, tarot cards, etc.). To break any curse, pray slowly the Psalm "The LORD is my light and my salvation" 40 times a day for 40 straight days. That's 1600 times in total. Forgive me.
