Fittoniya [83]2 years ago

I am no expert just my opinion.

. He started drinking because his mindset changed with his diagnosis wich let him hopeless , he sees no future and his acts makes him get away from the change of having a future. So how do we change his mindset? Maybe the attitude of crying in desperation for him to stay and try chemo makes him more stubborn defensive of the feeling of anhedonia and also under the control of addictions he is more depresed gets more defensive . In my opinion the best solution is not directly tell him to start chemo but to give him subtle motivation first to quit alcohol and to start chemo.If he starts seeing a future people talking good about life around him ,talking about progress of others with the same disease even if it s not his own progression it s some of the best to give motivation, talking in a permissive way like he is the one making the decision to quit although not healthy saying thay he is allowed to drink how much as he wants after chemo -just to making him stop and get chemo and deal with everything after. for some individuals maybe seeing the consequences and future complicatiosns not death a term that he can be numb maybe useful for motivation using some fear. Saying that he is a lucky one having an options some of the people with cancer don t. I would try in subtle manner to give him motivation, a feeling of gratitude with examples and also showing the reality.

Why can an animal survive longer without food?
AnnyKZ [126]
It depends on the type of animal, but if, for example, you're talking about one lower on the energy pyramid (like a chicken, for example) then this is because of the energy distribution. When an animal consumes something else, it absorbs about 10 percent of the energy of that creature. 

So, lets say a plant has 1000 units of energy. Then a bug comes along, and eats the plant, absorbing 100 units (10 percent) of that energy. Then, a chicken eats the bug, absorbing only 10 units of that energy. Finally, a human eats the chicken, getting only 1 unit of the original energy. 

The reason that something like a bug has to eat less than a human, is because it gets more energy directly from the plant.
