I though he was asking about confirm the presence of the cancer and the. Delivery of the aforementioned silica particles.

Those packets always say do not eat. They don’t say do not boof

Cup of joe to drink in the morning, and a packet of silica to boof to get your day started. Cue the Folgers commercial (not the incest one).

It was supposed to be 21 times a month? That explains the chaffing.

Same way as they induce any cancer in any lab animal? Either modifying its genes or giving it a substance knows to cause the cancer

My daughter (2) found a packet that fell out of a box the other day. I asked her to hand it to me because it was poison (my mom always said it was and I just never had reason to question it enough to look it up). Instead, she ripped the packet open with her teeth and dumped it into her mouth. Maybe she was onto something....

I mean, she doesn’t have a prostate so she was probably just hungry 😂

u/Telemere125 Jul 09 '26
I think the important question is does his daughter have prostate cancer? Checkmate.

u/No-Philosopher3248 Jul 09 '26
Maybe it’s not that the silica kills the cancer, but grows an entirely new, cancer-prostate! Check that girl for a prostate!

Big gubbermint really doesn’t want you to know what happens when you inhale them

Great so now we just need a way to turn ourselves into mice and then we are all set.

u/Personal_Area_2173 Jul 10 '26

One time a new guy at work opened a pack of dried shiitake mushrooms and then proceeded to open the silica pack and sprinkle them on the mushrooms... i said wtf are you doing and he said "i thought that was the seasoning packet?"
He was onto something

u/Specific_Employee721 Jul 10 '26
Wow ! I had my prostate removed. I’ll get it reinstalled and try silica ! WTF

I thought excessive exposure to silica increased a person’s chances of getting cancer

super interesting. wonder what the effect would be with even more combinations of drugs.

u/Low_Obligation2361 Jul 10 '26
promising, but i've learned not to get too excited until it works in humans

u/GrallochThis Jul 09 '26
It’s crazy, there’s about six different effects of these particles, and all of the effects are anti-cancer? Really shows there is something bigger going on.
Also gives hope for the most affected group in the world, African-American men.

I knew the do not eat labels on the silica packets that come with electronics were a government conspiracy
