Sad News

[Bow Only]

My good friend and fellow artifact collector Jay Cliett died yesterday from complications of stomach cancer. You may have known Jay as Americus on this forum. Jay looked for artifacts more than any person I've ever known and loved it more than anyone. His smile will forever be etched in my mind and I saw it every time I ever saw him. I will miss him.

Bow Only,
Losing someone we have experienced so much joy with is not easy, but knowing that you have been able to be a part of his life, we can realize that we have all been blessed. I am sure you will feel him looking down over your shoulder the next time you head out to hunt. My condolences. We will miss his expertise and sharing his joy with this board.

Ernie

It breaks my heart to hear this sad news. I will miss his awesome finds posts and his really sweet comments he made on my meager finds, such a kind person.

Mr. Jay was as nice a fellow as they come, and smart too. He was actually a Doctor of Mathematics who had retired after many years of teaching at Georgia Southwestern University, much loved by his many students which was easy to understand because he truly loved his students as well. He spent every free minute of his retirement hunting artifacts, living the dream we all have to look for arrowheads whenever we feel like it, all the time! Every find was individually wrapped in a Ziploc sandwich bag with the date and site where found. I'll sure miss him and hate that he didn't have more years to enjoy the hobby he loved so.

I agree, cancer is a huge problem these days and I'll let you guys in on something that the medical community doesn't know about because the establishment doesn't want them to know about it. I'm a pharmacist that specializes in medical research. Cancer is a polyamine driven disease. That means that an overproduction of polyamines leads to cancer. There are a number of things that can lead to this that I'm sure I can't explain them in terms most will understand, so just remember this. Polyamines are biogenic compounds that work on the cellular level and they are laden with nitrogen. Eating protein increases our problems when we have cancer because of two reasons: 1. it increases the extracellular levels of spermine and spermidine. 2. It is broken down into acids which is also a problem with cancer. Cancer cells are surrounded by an area of hyperglycemia and hyperacidity. This prevents our immune system from being able to eliminate the cancer cells. There is a large volume of published research on this but it is unknown to the medical community. I have spoken to dozens of physicians and none of them even understand what I'm saying. They don't know cellular biology and biochemistry enough to follow me.

I don't want to get on a soapbox but I wish people would listen. My Dad died of cancer and he wouldn't listen to me. He did everything the oncologist told him contrary to my wishes. My Dad had an 18% chance of living 5 years and he still wouldn't listen. I haven't spent years researching for nothing. Please only eat very limited amount of protein if you get cancer. I am a huge bow hunter and I've reduced my protein intake even though I did not want to. There is a lot that I'm leaving out but this isn't the time or place.

Thank you Bow Only for the protein warning, much appreciated.

Thanks Bow Only I know a little about Spermine and extracellular acidic conditions. It also increases damage in Ischemic strokes (TIA) which I had about 3 years ago. I should have been taking my blood pressure medicine. I found out I had high blood pressure 10 years ago when I beat Legionnaires disease. I have dodged a couple of bullets. After my stoke I decided I was going to do some stuff I had always wanted to do before my time was up. And you guessed it that is when I started looking for arrowheads.
I am an old MedTech I worked in Hematology and Leukaemia in kids in the middle 80's before bone marrow transplants, it changed my life for the good but was tough see all those kids die.
I still work hard but I play hard too. Life can leave you at any time enjoy what is left and Love your family and friends.
Did not mean to hijack the thread my prayers are with you and Jay's Family.

Well I was hoping he would pull through it. He had told me when I noticed I hadnt heard my phone ring with a insitu of a big point coming from Jay for a while. I wasnt told he passed. I sent him a text yesterday when the Falcons won but didnt get a response and was wondering, well now I know. Rest in Peace my friend and we will get together in the next life when its my turn and find some Killers together. Thank you Bow
