Nevada Lawmaker Says Cancer Is A Fungus, Recommends Simply Washing It Out
http://thinkprogress.org/health/2015/02/24/3626567/nevada-assemblywoman-cancer-fungus/Nevada Assemblywoman Michele Fiore (R) wants to reform the rules of end-of-life medical care so that more cancer patients can simply flush out their disease using baking soda.
Fiore, who is also CEO of a healthcare company, told listeners to her weekly radio show on Saturday, that she will soon introduce a “terminally ill bill,” to allow more non-FDA-approved treatments for those diagnosed as having terminal illnesses.
As first reported by Jon Ralston, Fiore told listeners: “If you have cancer, which I believe is a fungus, and we can put a pic line into your body and we’re flushing, let’s say, salt water, sodium cardonate [sic], through that line, and flushing out the fungus… These are some procedures that are not FDA-approved in America that are very inexpensive, cost-effective.” The American Cancer Society warns that while cancer patients whose immune systems are weakened by high doses of chemotherapy can sometimes contract fungal infections, “there is no evidence that antifungal treatment causes the patients’ tumors to shrink.” Cancer Research UK dismisses the claim that sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) can cure cancer as a debunked “persistent cancer myth.”...
Weeks after being removed from her position as Republican Majority Leader over allegations of more than $1 million in tax liens, Fiore made news last Wednesday for her assertion that “young, hot little girls on campus” need to be armed with guns to prevent themselves from being raped, saying that every citizen should “have the right to defend him or herself from sexual assault.”

So should she move to Idaho to hook up with Faith Healing Guy and Camera Swallowing Guy, or should they move to Nevada?
edit: There's a fungus among us, and I'm not talking about cancer!
re-edit: "Fiore, who is also CEO of a healthcare company"?!

How can people this fucking stupid remember which shoe goes on which foot? Jebus riding a unicycle and juggling fish. This is beyond belief, except I've seen Fiore. She has exactly the same cretinous, vacant expression as Princess Sparklemoose, and clearly an IQ that is even lower, if that is possible.
Oh sorry, scrub that brain...
though today's leading theoretical physicists like Brian Greene and Edward Witten say there have to be ten dimensions of space and one of time, for a total of eleven dimensions. 
Why do Republicans hate cancer patients and science and America?
