Benny Parsons Dies at age 65

[stinger608]

Anyone that watches Nascar or is a fan of racing in general will know who I am talking about.

He Died on January 16, 2007 from a battle with lung cancer

For those of you that didn't watch Nascar or keep up with any racing, Benny Parsons was a fantastic announcer, and a Nascar Champion in 1973!!!

This is some real sad news for all of the millions of Nascar fans, drivers, and teams!!!!!

that's because chemotherapy is very toxic, kills everything in your body, thus speeds up the process of dying. all this at cost of more pain than necessery and about $50.000/year/patient. It actually kills the patient, instead of healing. whoever invented it was an imbecil and now 100's of thousands are paying for it with their lives - including Benny...
my uncle was diagnosed with cancer, unfortunatelly did not listen when I told him not to undergo chemotherapy, even though there were no signs of it yet, as soon as he started chemotherapy (I actually hate to call it therapy, because it isn't), a week later he went into koma and another 10 days later he died (last fall in oktober). that's medical science...
