Guest guest Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 Bob, I can certainly appreciate that approach method but unfortunately the cancer that we are dealing with is extremely aggressive and likes to enter tissue in the brain and spinal canal. I should have mentioned earlier that I was immensely against chemo therapy and radiation which is why after nine months after diagnosis she is receiving chemo therapy. I now believe that if we can keep the body as healthy as possible, some of the conventional treatments should not be dismissed altogether. In her instance it kept the cancer from causing a stroke or other major problems. Now we just have to deal with counteracting the negative effects of these treatments. At least it has bought her some time. Thanks for the advice, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 , Thanks for sharing this much detail about your mother-in-laws treatment. I hope to meet them there and share more experiences with them. I'll be there from Feb 26th thru March 12th. luvmygop@... wrote:, Like I said earlier, my mother-in-law and my mother will be visiting the Hufeland clinic this coming week. They will be flying out on the 27th of this month till the 7th of March. I'm sure it will be fine to seek them out. They are both from Long Island, New York. I have received a lot of information from this group in the last 6 months and I feel it is now time to share some of what I have learned and what we have been doing with this information. My mother-in-law has been involved in a lot of homeopathic therapies. She has been doing the flaxoil/cottage cheese every day now for about one month. She has also been taking the Sun soup from the Sun Farm corp. which is a frozen mixture of Chinese herbs and other anticancer ingredients. (More can be found here if anyone is interested, but I warn that the regimen is very expensive- $600/month- <A HREF= " http://www.sunfarmcorp.com/ " > Welcome to Sun Farm Corporation</A>) She has been taking this soup for about four or five months now. We are debating if we should take her off of the soup, although the ingredients are very healthy and can certainly do no harm, it doesn't seem to be curing her as it did the inventor's mother who had the same cancer --> more on the website. She is also taking anti copper medications, Thalidomide, Vioxx, Captipril, Mevacor, Whey, Melatonin, Neltraxone, Tagamet, Protocel, High Doses of Vitamin A and D, regular doses of B6 (50 mg) and Selenium (200 micrograms), green tea extract, echinacea, and wobenzyme. Shortly after her diagnosis she was flown to California for a cancer vaccine that unfortunately failed (however the vaccine has been known to take effect in some patients after chemo therapy- which she has just recently started and is one cycle in). If the CLT treatment does not work, my husband is considering placing her on the new capsil virus (only available in Budapest, Hungary so my husband will drive over while on his trip to Germany) and the Dendritic vaccine. If she has to go back to chemo therapy, we decided we will only do it through insulin potentiation therapy, and lastly, we may put her on super high doses of intravenous vitamin C. She has also had chest radiation done shortly after her brain and lung surgery last August. She has just started another round of radiation to her neck, but his time her radiation is being done with a new machine in Staten Island, New York. This machine is the only one available in the Western Hemisphere and has a more direct, higher beam of radiation, while being less damaging to the normal cells surrounding the tumors. I think its great and she only has to go once a week for 4 visits, while still taking her full dose of chemotherapy. As you can see we are not leaving her cancer to chance. We are working under many different theories and as long as these therapies do not contradict each other we are going to try everything. The result: Although she is in stage 4 (which is where she was when she was first diagnosed in May of last year), she is healthy and able to receive any treatments. She has no organ damage as of yet, and by looking at her, you would never believe she has anything wrong with her. Although we haven't found the " magic cure " as of yet, we feel at the very least, these therapies are keeping her body strong, healthy, able to fight, and able to take whatever may come next. We wouldn't even have a hope of future treatments if she was very sick. I also, want to add that some of the therapies are very specific and she has undergone a lot of blood tests to find the best dosages for her. I know that a lot of these medications may sound strange for cancer purposes but if anyone has any questions they can email me for more information. Thank you everyone for the great information you have all shared these past few months. I only hope I can be of some help to some of you out there. I know it won't be easy to pinpoint what if anything will cure her or at least extend her life, but the name of the game is a cure and we are not out to publish any papers. I will keep you all posted these coming weeks with her status during her CLT treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 , I just read an article in a fairly recent Wall Street Journal - the health section - that someone sent me. It talked about " managing " cancer vs " curing " it. (Much like one lives with diabetes or other chronic diseases.) So often we want the " magic bullet " , and understandably so, but a management approach may be the best option in some cases. People are so frightened by cancer that they will do most anything to quickly rid themselves of it. This drives them to surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation that may, in the end, do more damage than good. A modified, lessened dosage of these things may actually allow the person to live longer. I think this is what many of the alternative clinics do with their focus on building the person and his/her immune system. I believe we should seek to find what will halt the progression of the disease, and then slowly add to the protocol to begin reversing it. It sounds like you and those around you are doing a great job in tracking down therapies and applying them successfully. Keep up the good work! Bob Re: Re: R.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2003 Report Share Posted February 19, 2003 Do you know how much taxol/taxotere costs for one breastcancerpatient? The problem is in my opinion that most chemo's cost much more then the herbs but the herbs you have to pay by yourself, the chemo your insurancecom. pays at least here in the netherlands. Think what is happening with Kanglaite, almost for free in- China and Japan, very well results and now one big farma in the USA bought the patnet, does the trials and no one can buy any longer Kanglaite in the USA or anywhere in the world. Even now it is as we may believe the farmacompany tested in fase III trials, already for more then a year. did you ever hard afterwards from the results?

At the very least, in articles that he is using his journalist/objective-researcher role, as above, to plug/support the treatment that he has pecuniary interest, he must, to have any ethical standing, state clearly that he has a financial involvement. If he is not doing so, clearly and unequivocally, one must be concerned with his ethics, and of course his objectivity as a journalist/investigator/researcher has to be put into question, at least from the point of time that he became financially involved.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2003 Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 Yes, Moss is putting his money into his treatment because he believes in it so strongly.. strong enough to offer your money back if it doesn't work? I think not. Now that would be a proper testimonial...It works or no cost. Best, JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My concern is above.. 1) Ralph Moss built up a reputation as an objective journalist/reporter/investigator 2) Now Ralph Moss in an investor/businessman in one treatment.. At the very least, in articles that he is using his journalist/objective-researcher role, as above, to plug/support the treatment that he has pecuniary interest, he must, to have any ethical standing, state clearly that he has a financial involvement. If he is not doing so, clearly and unequivocally, one must be concerned with his ethics, and of course his objectivity as a journalist/investigator/researcher has to be put into question, at least from the point of time that he became financially involved. Question: Has this ethical problem been pointed out to him by anyone for his response ? Shalom, Avery Queens, NY schmuel@...

Schmuel Yes, I saw that some situations have changed, after Catharine's letter, but that does not really address my question ... Can Ralph Moss really be used as an objective researcher/journalist any longer ? How could he write about a treatment in his newsletter without making crystal clear his own financial interest ? What is/was the extent of that investment involvement ? I am not saying that this type of issue only arises for Ralph Moss, but since he had an " objective analysis " service and various articles and books comparing therapies, it seems to be a real obvious case of potential conflict of interest. The next article that he writes comparing therapies, might you wonder which one of them he is investing in on the side ? How objective can one be when one has a goodly stake, and stands to possibly make more than they could through journalism ? Will the Ireland clinic today become a Bahamian clinic tomorrow ? Has he made any public statements on this issue ? (when I read that he was promoting the treatment in his newsletter without a clear disclosure statement accompanying .. per 's letter... that really seemed to be way over the line). I met Ralph and his wife at one or two speaking engagements, and he was always very personable and helpful.. the issue is, can he really be trusted as an objective journalist/researcher any more, as this experience unfolds ? Perhaps there are mitigating circumstances, perhaps Ralph Moss has written well about this problem, but the sense I get is that it has not been addressed forthrightly.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2003 Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 Just a note - I haven't been able to keep up here - but since I last visited, I have received two newsletters from Ralph Moss. Neither mentions CLT at all now!!!! :-) I guess he lost interest??? > Hi Cancercure, > > Catharine, > > I subscribe to Ralph Moss's newsletter.
