    If Trump is 6'-1 1/2" and had the same build as the average 5'-9" 200 pound American male how much would he weigh? By "same build" I mean the same proportions on a taller man.

    Trump = 73.5" Weight = ???
    Avg male = 69" 200 lb

    Trump would be 6.52173913% taller

    This is an IQ test. Do not use AI or a search engine to solve

    Extra credit: If Trump was 138" tall how much would he weigh if he had the same proportions as the avg male?

    If the above is true then if the average American woman was 5'-9" tall (like the avg American man) and had the same proportions she would weigh a little more than 219 lbs

    My baby sister was diagnosed with leukemia about twenty years ago. The prime suspect was thought to be benzine. Puzzling because we were all exposed to the same chemicals. Happily, when’s still with us.

    Looks like one of biggest losers of these cuts will be rural communities.
    • Rural programs formerly under the Health Resources and Services Administration appear to be hard-hit. The rural hospital flexibility grants, state offices of rural health, rural residency development program and at-risk rural hospitals program grants are listed as eliminations under AHA.
    Mostly affected, I believe, will be Red states.

    Lot's of ways to get exposed to benzene. Over the last several months I've been hearing people are using a drug called menbendazole to fight various types of leukemia.
    Mebendazole exhibits potent anti-leukemia activity on acute myeloid leukemia - PubMed

    Don't know how good Thomas Seyfried at Boston Univ. is but he has a theory that cancer is more of a metabolic disorder than a genetic disorder. He thinks cancer can be starved by depriving it of sugar and glutamine.
    Eat and Beat Cancer

    Unfortunately I found a study from last year where cancer in mice or rats shrank when they were put in ketosis and starved of glucose but this made the cancer metastisize

    Probably a reaction to the unproven theory that tumors thrive on sugar. In any case, I’m intrigued by the theory that cancer is actually a healing strategy, albeit perhaps a last ditch effort to contain toxins.
