    Adam Yauch Updates Fans on Cancer Treatment, Beastie Boys Album

    Don't expect the Beastie Boys long-awaited album, 'Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 1,' before the end of the year. In a new update on the band's e-mail list, Adam Yauch told fans that the disc won't see release until the first half of 2010 and offered a detailed status on his ongoing cancer treatment and recovery.

    "So I just got back from Dharamsala, India," Yauch wrote. "[I] went over there to see some Tibetan doctors, but as it worked out, the Dalai Lama was giving a three-day teaching, so I was able to attend that as well. I'm feeling healthy, strong and hopeful that I've beaten this thing, but of course time will tell. I'm taking Tibetan medicine and at the recommendation of the Tibetan doctors I've been eating a vegan/organic diet, which surprisingly enough was harder to do in India than it is now that I'm back home. Here I can just shop for the right food and cook ... a lot easier than depending on restaurants."

    "When I was in India I visited an Ani Gompa (a nunnery) called Jamyang Choling," Yauch added. "They did a Puja (religious ceremony) for me to help me get well. One nun said to me 'We do prayers and then you are better.' So I've got that going for me, which is nice."

    Yauch said he's looking forward to getting the record out, but in the meantime he says, "I'm just enjoying a little downtime in Massachusetts, taking walks in the woods and hanging out with the family ... Still doing a little work related to Oscilloscope [his film company], watching screeners and attending some screenings, but for the most part, just laying low."

    Why do folks search for help everywhere but in JESUS CHRIST, our maker? Try a good old fashioned on your knees humble spirit prayer. He may just heal you. Good Luck!

    That's the wonderful thing about America...Freedom of Religion. Considering most religions are really about the same, I don't see a big dea...and dhayescharlotte, you need to learn a bit more about christianity... GOD the father is our Lord and maker...not his son, Jesus Christ.

    Sometimes, toots, prayers aren't answered, so people often move on to other treatments or healing methods. Sometimes God just says "no" (via not answering your prayers), and that can be a tough one to swallow. Obviously, you have never been faced with anything quite so horrific as cancer; you'll do just about anything to beat it. And how in Hell do you know for a fact that he didn't already try (and is still trying) to heal himself via prayer? You sound like just another typical, simple-minded, born-again-hypocrite, religious fanatic to me. Insensitive clods like you are what's wrong with America.

    While I do grow tired of people like dhayescharlotte fueling the fire of liberals, I must say that if you think religious people are screwing this country up, you have a wierd sense of logic. As this country has been moving further and further toward a secular society, things have been getting worse. To say that a follower of Christ is screwing things up is about as whacked out as dhayescharlotte saying, "hey just sit back and pray, and all will be well" I am a man of faith, but that faith doesn't eliminate my own responsibility to preserve my health. Do everything and pray.. not do nothing blindly in the name of faith.

    Everyone has to make their own choice as to how they are going to battle cancer. To be honest, I am not so sure that I wouldn't seek treatment outside of the US. I honestly think FDA doesn't approve certain cancer treatment drugs so they don't wind up having to put people on medicaide when your insurance maxes out.

    I wish you well, and pray for a full recovery. In the mean time you are doing the right thing spending time with your family.

    Morons. First of all, Adam is Jewish, so he probably doesn't accept Jesus as his savior. Second, he has already undergone conventional allopathic treatment (traditional American Medicine) consisting of surgery and radiation. There is definite evidence that faith and nutrition, along with other non medical modalities, sucha as family support, can help ones recovery. Third, the FDA is not in a conspiracy to prevent people from getting certain drugs. We have the most sophisticated and stringent process for vetting new medications in this country, so that people are not harmed by medicines with too many and possibly dangerous side affects. You who feel the FDA is preventing people from getting certain medications are probably the first to stand in line to sue the FDA if you were harmed by a medication. Morons.

    Adam,

    I think you got cancer because you supported Barak Hussein O'Bama. You helped a muslim get elected President of the United States of America. Karma is a biatch. ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!
