Guest guest Posted October 10, 2001 Report Share Posted October 10, 2001 >>I don't live in Ohio anymore..I live in Holland. Arent you the one who lives in Greece? Make sure you keep us posted on how you progress,Barbara>> Sorry I didn't keep you posted. I did appreciate and agree with your information about food rotation. I didn't think anyone would want to hear my poop progress, but since you asked.... I keep a calendar and a pen hanging beside the toilet on the wall above the toilet paper roll. 5 " one day, 7 " the next, 8-9 " for two consecutive days and then 0 " for three to four days. That seems to be my pattern. The 0 " days are uncomfortable and gassy but relaxing and not worrying about it has done wonders. Holland is a wonderful place. I am not nor have I ever been to Greece. Illinois is my home. I have family in Slovenia and the UK so I travel overseas a few times each year and am ready to move out any time. Especially now since I am not a fan of nationalism. Over the past 5 years the bread has really improved in main stream grocery stores, which have begun to offer much more variety in their bakery. The town where I now live has 4 ethnic food and bakery shops with my favorite German dark bread. Yum. Take care. I probably won't keep posting about this unless someone asks. Thanks for asking and caring. Betsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2001 Report Share Posted October 10, 2001 Robin2- I would go back to him and take him up on the stool test offer. He may offer better lab results. Also about the stomach lunge symptoms. Ask him if this fish tapeworm would do this, I know it would because it grows very large. It is an unsegmented variety . Diplogonoporus grandis also this one: Glaridacris sp. The bodies of most tapeworms consist of a chain of proglottids, each of which is an independent reproductive unit. Such worms are said to be " polyzoic. " There are, however, a number of species of tapeworms that consist of but a single proglottid. Such tapeworms are said to be " monozoic, " and they belong to the order Caryophyllidea. ********* That information was found at that Ohio University Parasite site. Although I have not found this thing in a test with me but I am sure it exists. I had a startling experience one evening watching TV in bed. I was feeling really relaxed watching a comedy when my left bowel lunged upward so high. I carried 2 children and never did I experience a lift like that. My doctor brushed it off as being a bowel spasm but she would not listen to the details involved with the lunging. I felt something poke me repeatedly over and over again in my left lower colon. I got a sharp striking pain and I felt this thing pass right through my bowel like a needle and thread. It moved across my gut and down my right leg. It has remained there without an incident for 3 years now. The lunging was caused toward the end of this (worm) I believe that the bottom of it is wider than the head. It actually tugged until it was free. Can you believe that the doctor wouldn't hear of what I had just described? I was blown off. I do think you need to give your body a rest off of the herbs and treatments. Also I do know that if you went in tomorrow and began a stool test that nothing would show up. Why? Because all of the herbs you are taking would interfere with finding a result. I would wait a month off the herbs and go for that tests. This doctor sounds as though he understands your concern and frustration and is not patronizing you. Go for it one more time because these things are hard to find if they are in your body. I have thought over and over again, wondering if yeast could overgrow to such a size to cause these symptoms? I don't know that either. Also I had a protein factor test done and it came up negative. So my doctor dropped the worm issue with me. UGH! Something lives beneath.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2001 Report Share Posted October 10, 2001 Robin, God bless you girl! I am so sorry for your disgusting feeling -- I feel for you and I recently had a similar experience, but not with such knowledgable docs. Have you ever SEEN a parasite come out of you? I have -- I have seen AMAZING things. I have inspected them closely and compared them to pictures of known parasites in books and on the net. Let me know after you finish that yummy sounding cake!

She has a form of Ewing's Sarcoma, she's 25 years old. Several alternative clinics have had success with nutrition in combination with hyperthermia/radiation treatment. Take a look at http://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/Villa/5443/alts/hytherm.html I have read that sarcomas react quite well to this in conjuntion with supplements and nutrition.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2001 Report Share Posted October 19, 2001 You may want to look into Gaston Naessens 714X. You can contact him from his website . http://www.cerbe.com/ More information about him below. Gavin. http://www.naturalhealthline.com/newsletter/15sep01/714x.htm Government Review of Alternative Cancer Therapy 714X Goes Forward © By Chowka (September 15, 2001) In June I reported the remarkable story of how 714X, the Canadian unconventional cancer therapy that many people in the U.S. have used, was suddenly put on the fast track for review by the U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI) - after allegations by patients in Massachusetts and reporting by the media that promising tests of it had been covered up by the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. The story has continued to evolve, with the most recent major development occurring on August 22, 2001. Just after noon on that day, Cerbe, Inc., the Canadian company that manufactures and distributes 714X, formally submitted sixteen detailed case histories of patients treated with 714X to the NCI. According to WFXT TV news in Boston (August 22), these are patients " whose [long-term] survival best demonstrates the success of 714X. " On August 23, 714X pioneer and proponent Gaston Naessens and his wife and business partner Jacinte Naessens appeared at a press conference in Boston along with successfully-treated 714X patients. In a taped report timed to air that week on WFXT, DeWaele, Cerbe's spokesman, commented, " Anyone of these cures, from the business point of view, may threaten an empire [the cancer Establishment]. From what I've seen, that empire doesn't like to be threatened. It's a business. They're out there protecting their assets. " WFXT, which did ground breaking reporting on 714X and the alleged cover-up last May, actually presented two feature follow-up reports about 714X, on its 10 p.m. newscasts on August 22 and 23. Speaking about his best case series, Naessens said, " The evidence is there. " In response to a question about what the NCI had asked for, Naessens said, " They want the medical file of the best case we think [know of] would give them an idea of how the product works. " The latest 714X developments were also covered by Boston's CBS affiliate WBZ TV, including a live report from the 714X press conference on the station's noon newscast on August 23. At that press conference, an obviously elated Naessens said, " The American NCI has opened up the door for us. So we're going to walk right in. We're happy about it! " Patients who spoke at the press conference included Hartley, 14, a compelling advocate whose terminal cancer was apparently cured by 714X six years ago. The NCI's Office of Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine (OCCAM) is conducting the review of 714X. In May, OCCAM director White, MD told me that the review of 714X cases, including pathology slides and radiographic films, would be done in-house at the NIH's clinical center and would take about a month. White said that he hoped for a minimum of four of five cases; sixteen were submitted. That review is now underway. After the review, White said, " We'll have to find out when the next meeting of the CAPCAM - the Cancer Advisory Panel for Complementary Alternative Medicine - is and get it [714X] scheduled on the agenda for CAPCAM review. " [CAPCAM] will have seen copies of the reports or at least a summary of the data. And then the individual cases will be discussed at the meeting, case by case. And they [CAPCAM panel members] will make their analysis of each case. We don't put forward case series that we don't think - that they are going to just say are garbage (laughs), unless there's some compelling reason for us to do that. And I would prefer not to waste time with that. . . We're still going to make every effort we can to get the best case series. " And what comes after the CAPCAM panel's review of the data, assuming it is positive? White: " What the panel would do, if they feel that it's adequate information for them to determine if . . ..there's some suggestive activity here or something that needs to be followed up, then they would make a recommendation to the director of of NCCAM [the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine] that NCCAM ought to support research in that area. They may specifically say what kind of research they are talking about - clinical trial of some type or they can be as specific as they want to about that. And then, if that is the recommendation, it's up to NCCAM to act on it within their other priority areas. If this is something that they also consider to be - that they have the resources to deal with, then they'll work with NCI to figure out the appropriate mechanism. "  Past History Sheds Some Light The story this year about 714X and its inexorable and apparently substantial progress through the maze of the cancer Establishment brings to mind two stories from the 1970s. When contrasted to the fate of 714X this year, these past stories show how things have changed for alternative medicine in the U.S. recently and constitute yet another indication that a major corner may finally have been turned in the acceptance of alternative medicine by the mainstream. The most obvious comparison is with the controversy involving the official testing of laetrile at Sloan-Kettering Institute almost three decades ago. To put it mildly, the laetrile tests, it has been widely reported, did not constitute an act of good faith on the part of the medical Establishment. Laetrile, a highly controversial, oral and injectible alternative cancer treatment derived from apricot kernels, was the most popular alternative cancer therapy during the 1970s. Early in that decade, demands by thousands of U.S. cancer patients and mounting political pressure led the U.S. federal government to commission prestigious Sloan-Kettering in New York to test it. The laetrile tests began quietly in 1973, using cancerous mice. Surprisingly, the researcher conducting the tests, Kanematsu Sugiura, PhD, who had worked at Sloan-Kettering for 61 years, found that laetrile appeared to stop the spread of cancer in the mice. As Sugiura told me in a rare interview in 1978 (he died in 1979), he considered laetrile to be significant - " a preventive agent, " a " palliative, " something that " stops the spread of cancer. " Sugiura's positive laetrile test results were not at all what the U.S. federal government and the Sloan-Kettering heirarchy expected. In fact, Sugiura's tests were as politically incorrect as one could get and potentially incendiary; their publication was delayed for years until an anti-laetrile researcher had been brought in to conduct a parallel series of tests, which not surprisingly turned out negative. Ultimately, both Sugiura's and the other researcher's (negative) results were published, side by side in the Journal of Surgical Oncology in 1978. This highly unusual tactic was the Establishment's ham-fisted way back then to " deep six " laetrile. According to Medical World News, however, 200,000 Americans were " active in the laetrile movement " at the time and more battles would be fought before - politically if not scientifically - the Establishment more or less laid laetrile to rest in the early 1980s. (Interestingly, laetrile or variants of it continue to be used to this day at a number of clinics outside of the U.S.) Another contrast to 714X in 2001 is apparent in the story of Chad Green (1977-'79), particularly in the way that the Boston media reported on that case. Chad Green was a three years old who lived with his parents Jerry and in a small community south of Boston. In 1977 he was diagnosed with leukemia. After careful research, Chad's parents opted for laetrile metabolic therapy instead of chemotherapy. In quick succession, Chad was declared a ward of the state, removed from his parents' custody, and forced to undergo chemotherapy. The situation was untenable for the Greens, a deeply religious and well-motivated couple. After more than a year of battling state authorities to no avail, Jerry and , who had regained physical (but not medical) custody of their son, took Chad to Mexico for laetrile and other treatments. Although he appeared to be thriving, Chad died suddenly in Mexico in October 1979. (An independent pathologist from the University of California at San Diego found no evidence that Chad died of cancer and theorized that the boy might have died from a rare " heart-nerve blockage. " The boy's grandmother insisted that this theory of his cause of death was not incompatible with her view, that Chad had simply died of " a broken heart " brought about by the stress of having to leave the United States for some semblance of medical freedom.) A painful, touching and deeply personal story, the Chad Green case played out publicly over the course of two years. Chad was a major media story, initially in the Boston area and ultimately nationally. (I counted thirty different camera crews representing network news and local television stations at Chad's funeral in Hastings, Nebraska.) A running theme throughout the coverage, with the exception of Phil Donahue's nationally televised talk show that the family appeared on several times, was that the Greens were misguided or dangerous in eschewing " proven " conventional treatments. , MD, a part-time health reporter for Boston's ABC TV affiliate WCVB TV at the time, reported frequently - and critically - on the parents' actions in the case and soon afterwards made the leap to a full time job at the network news level. The quality, persistence, and point of view of most of the media's coverage of 714X in 2001 stands in stark contrast to the coverage that Chad Green and his family were subjected to two decades earlier. Further developments in the 714X story, meanwhile, are expected throughout the coming fall and winter. --- kamste@... wrote: > I have soft tissue sarcoma metastatic in the liver > doew anyone knows > atreatment either than chemo? > > __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
