"The King will not be one for chemotherapy, he has always argued against it. He's a great believer in natural herbs, potions and things like that."

Potions???

We're in fucking 1320 motherfucker.

The King is ailing and needs herbs and potions to keep him alive. The taxes are going up and your children are being requisitioned by the Crown.

But also critical support to the king and the pepto bismol he thinks will help.

feudal holdover believes in potions, more at 11

Dead in 6 months.

Vaccinated?

Would his majesty be interested in the traditional royal treatment of being fed a solution of powdered lead and mercury (the royal metal!) by some kind of court appointed alchemist/astrologer?

royal treatment of being fed a solution of powdered lead and mercury

I looked this up and

In Chinese alchemy, elixir poisoning refers to the toxic effects from elixirs of immortality that contained metals and minerals such as mercury and arsenic. The official Twenty-Four Histories record numerous Chinese emperors, nobles, and officials who died from taking elixirs to prolong their lifespans. The first emperor to die from elixir poisoning was likely Qin Shi Huang (d. 210 BCE) and the last was the Yongzheng Emperor (d. 1735 CE). Despite common knowledge that immortality potions could be deadly, fangshi and Daoist alchemists continued the elixir-making practice for two millennia.

Based alchemists disguising killing the parasiting ruling class as feeding into their fear of death.
Someone should inform him of the traditional guillotine treatment. Very effective for royals.

If you separate the head then the ass cancer can't reach the brain 🤔

Critical support to the King in his desire to off himself by refusing the finest medical treatment in the world.

Wow so Charles banknotes are gonna be a rarity in a few years.

Chemotherapy is fucking awful and I understand why someone might not want to do it, and these days there might be alternatives, specially if you have the resources of the British monarchy.

At any rate, I hope the cancer wins.

Norm MacDonald may be shitty but he did manage to be funny so to paraphrase 'really the best cancer can hope for is a draw '

It means at his age the only thing cancer treatment can do is prolong your 5 year survival without regard to quality of life. Nothing he will do at this point will really prolong his life further than it has gone and taking chemo will undoubtedly ruin the last few years and chances are chemo doesn't work and you die near-term anyway. Oncology has pitiful success rates.
- I have family that got cancer around 75, had chemo and lived another 15 years, and that was treatment on the NHS, not the best care money can buy.

idk, critical support to the king for slowly and painfully killing himself unnecessarily.

the person playing Crusader Kings on this family clearly decided it was time to get a younger king on the throne

Not me, I always make my own religion and make the gender law equal so I don't have to worry about the gender of my council members locking me out of the most skilled people.
- Last game I played I ended up creating a matriarchal queedom of amazonian geniuses out of Africa and invaded Europe.
  
  Good game, 10/10
  
  They probably patched whatever mechanism allowed me to get so many successive generations of superwomen though.
Imagine playing such plebeian triplebastardised branch of a branch of a cadet branch with name such as Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. It's almost as bad as Karlings.
- Worse than the Karlings, with Victoria's offspring, they got their claws into pretty much every monarchy on the continent .

He's going to break out the leaches, isn't he.

you do you king 🦀🦀🦀

isn't he like 98 years old or some shit, like at some point I feel like you gotta do the math and figure out if fucking up all the cellular replication in your body and all the consequent fun side effects of that is worth getting rid of a cancer that might not even kill you for another 5+ years

anyway hope he does the chemo and dies anyway fuck im

75 so younger than both Biden and Trump.
- christ alive everything is so bad lmao
- Damn and Liz died at 96/ Phillip at 99, if he lives as long his parents (very doubtful) he'd be king til 2045-2050

Hear ye hear ye our King hath consul from the finest Apothecary in all the lands. A great many tinctures and potions shall restore our great monarch

I'm as happy about a king dying as the next guy but I can't help hoping that his mortal husk keeps going for a bit longer. A dead king is not worth much when they just make a new and younger guy king.

The good thing about prince Charles being king is that he is so old and decrepit, there's no risk of him breathing new life into the monarchy or becoming popular. The current king is an embarrassment to the British state which is good and funny. I don't know about the next guy in line other than that he's probably an unlikable posh asshole but he looks reasonably lifelike and the propaganda apparatus might be able to construct a cult of personality around him.

This.

If Charles dies, William would become king. William is in his 40s and is tactful and very well respected, especially by the libs. If there's anyone who could keep up the optics of the monarchy like his grandmother did, it's him. We would have 45 more years of wholesome 100 state parasite.

pizza-dance hope it hurts.

My guess is that at the moment he's taking advice from a man called Michael Dixon, who he's championed for many years, has headed his own natural alternative medicinal institute

Looking into this dude just keeps getting better and better lmfao, Charles made him "head of the Royal Medical Household"

At his age is chemo really worth it? I kinda feel like I'd forgo it myself, just focus on enjoying what's left rather than spend years puking my guts out.

Depends on the prognosis, but with proper medical supervision, the answer ~~is definitely~~ could be yes. He's only 75.
- He's only 75.
  
  That's... uh, pretty old.

You wouldn't get chemotherapy because you're an unscientific fool

I wouldn't get chemotherapy because of a lifetime of depression

We are not the same

gbnews, as a source for anything, is as reliable as your nan's facebook

Tbf he does love alt "medicine" (sugar pills)

Whether he was just grifiting or if he truly believes it who knows.
- i'm wishcasting he shoves fruit juice up his ass instead of getting actual treatment
Mine is pretty solid. She says happy birthday on everyone's birthday and that's all. Honestly THE source for when her friends list's birthdays are

Since when do we quote and believe anything the great bullshitter and white supremacist Nigel Farage says? He even admits he's just talking out his ass in the same breath.

I guess he really wants to die lol

Didn't know my brother was medical advisor to the king

Seizures, probably from kidney failure. The more interesting thing with him was all the human skull he consumed as medicine trying to treat it.
he died in the 1600s so it's not clear. wikipedia says "apoplectic fit" which is loosely defined as having an organ rupture. some suspect he was killed. contemporary analysis suggests kidney disease from mercury exposure.

GBnews is actual cancer so I wouldn't even click it if I were you. Plus, nobody else seems to have reported this.

He's afraid the doctors will MAID him like they did his great grandfather.

Is it too early to get the crabs out???

Condition yellow. Crabs on standby.

This is so much more interesting to me than Steve Jobs. Jobs was just a colossal asshole who thought he could outsmart death because he sold phones real good. The King seems to believe in actual magic, if this and those clips of him talking about traditionalism are anything to go by.

Steve Jobs was a man who believed in nothing, except his own vanity and ego. King Charles is a man who apparently has faith in the divinity of royalty. Obviously he's just as wrong as Jobs, ultimately, and will die, but I can't help but have a little respect for someone who actually believes in something, even if it is something this stupid.

wasn't there some controversy here about GB News being a sort of shitty site for news? He is a big supporter of alternative medicine, and that dude Michael Dixon is a homeopath and also leads the medical team for the monarchy. But idk this is also just one dude saying this. It would be pretty funny though if he actually did this.

They employ a bunch of right wing cranks like Nigel Farage and Andrew Neil, so as much as we all want this to be true, consider the source.

Does colloidal silver count as a potion?

Yes, I'm sure the king's royal court potion crafter makes potions using the best colloidal silver every so often, not too often or he'll turn Smurf blue.
