      I am trying the diet style of one meal in 2 days. 2hrs in buffet enjoying enough food. it is healthy to me.

      Yes, really change health care and make it a culture of prevention!

      Here is what the Affordable Health Care Act is doing:

      He told us there are 10 times more bacteria in your body than cells in your body.

      So since we are really just bacteria hosts perhaps we are cancer hosts as well--one of two men get cancer and one of three women.

      Therefore, "The End of Illness" sounds like a religious text from a scientific man or perhaps more marketing from Steve Jobs. The form is there but in this case we might be missing the Jobs' focus on function.

      Is it me, or does walking around bare footed will bring you cancer?, My God, do we want to be that obsessed about health?...sorry I mean Illness. « And if there is a too big delay between the hour of your meal today and the one of yesterday, well, you might get cancer...» People hvae smoke their entire life without getting cancer ( granted: these are exceptions). The point is that along all the general recommandations that doctors of every fragmented field could give you -most of the time contradicting one or many other recommandations, like drugs(weird)- Mr. Rose was right I think: dont smoke, vegetables, low stress, what else...exercice, what about laugh? anyone saw Patch Adams?...spirituality might be good too, no? Untill we found some future study that proves some alarming low rate of some disease in the buddhism monks communities, we might be too dum to consider such a metaphysic effect of spirituality, yet it would bring calm to the organism...Forget about spirituality, (it was just an exemple)

      The end of bad and the embrace of the good. Dr. David Agus and his book "The End of Illness" were a refreshing listening experience. Thank you Charles.

      REMant sees exaggeration in the expression "END OF" as more important than its appeal. I disagree. I love END OF as part of the conversation. So many things are evil, ugly and fattening, the end of them is beautiful by comparison.

      The END OF REMant's race to introduce negative views of the future and positive views of his own trivial longing for past failure, to every Rose interview, is long over due.

      The end of poverty and avoidable agony (from war and other human habits we need to lose) is our goal; and sentences that declare the end, long before it will ever come, are a blessing to be enjoyed in our imagination.

      Consider this, if you can imagine the end of the bad before your death it's as though you lived to see it.

      The end of the emphasis on profit and loss accounting, in budgeting nominal moneys, will see logistical accounting for real things and real systems that help produce what we need and enjoy what we have. This is the heart of Keynesian thought. It is the pet peeve of REMant, who never met mistaken account of money and banking he did not swallow whole.

      Our Secretary of the Navy agrees to limit our sea power to to nominal money shortages. He gives no credence to the fact that, until all labor and capital are fully employed, the more power you buy the more money you create with which to buy more power.

      Naturally, you do not want more sea power than you need. But peace needs more sea power. Too many pirates and murdering dictators with no respect for the human rights of other people need our attention to put them out of action. The end of piracy and totalitarian regimes is what we need. The end of common sense is not.

      I have always wanted the end of car accidents -- especially those that kill and maim. When we build cars like rubber boats, only softer and harder in the right places to make them crash-proof, we all will be the winner -- even REMant. Why not do it now?

      The end of this post is far too far from its beginning. Charlie claimed tonight to know super-bowl history as well as the next fan -- or better. This as on Feb 6th. This archive is usually a few days behind the show. I wish Charlie knew less about football and more about timely website management. The end of Charlie Rose deficiencies will be welcome when it comes.

      But cancer is NOT a verb when you make statements like this:

      A couple of times a week, I look in someone’s face and say, “I’m out of new drugs. Unfortunately, there’s nothing I can do; unfortunately, the disease is going to win.”

      Prevention is a tall order when one out of two men and one out of three women get it.

      One is currently writing a book entitled...THE END OF READING BOOKS WITH TITLES THAT START WITH THE END OF.....
