Guest guest Posted July 1, 2003 Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 Hi, I recommend reading about the ESSIAC Tea or Flor-Essence brand of Essiac's herbs, plus two more herbs -- and cheaper! GNC and other privately-owned/local health food stores usually carry Essiac Tea or Flor-Essence tea. Essiac is named after the nurse who carried on the formula's ingredients over the years after she discovered many many people overcoming SERIOUS illnesses, and put it together with a doctor/friend...see the book about the tea and it's filled with letters or testimonials, too. ***Essiac is her last name spelled backwards: Caisse, (read online about Nurse Caisee and Essiac) **My mother overcame a brain tumor with conventional radiation, only, and the tea -- you have to drink it for six WEEKS though! She also had a lot of people praying for her -- she was our hometown area's County Administrator and before that, as the county bookkeeper, wrote paychecks for the employees of the LARGEST county in Mississippi! She was on the prayer list of many many county and city churches, they said! We are from a small close-nit community, too. My girlfriend's mom did well on Gerson -- and she drank a lot of wheatgrass, too and organic food and juices. Look into a MACROBIOTIC diet --- no meat!! My boss, once, OVERCAME pancreatic cancer -- the, or one of THE fastest killers -- with a macrobiotic diet, an experimental cancer drug, I guess in clinical trials at the University of Miami, FL, and also using creative imagery and positive thinking. He told us he " imagined " his fighter cells (good blood cells) were little FISH, gobbling up the cancer cells, as he sat by the water's edge of his new property, wherein he sat with his wife and talked of his future and used creative imagery, as they proceeded to buy property and build a new multi-million dollar home on the water's edge in Key Biscayne, FL, ALL AFTER HIS DIAGNOSIS of THREE MONTHS TO LIVE!!!!! See what positive thinking can do for you! Try positive creative immagery, too...or hypnotherapy, if needed -- a qualified hypnotherapist might teach her how to hypnotize herself, or relax, at least! Give your mom a special treatment: some foot reflexology or a mild to moderate massage therapy treatment or several ongoing sessions. She needs to be " touched " and learn to continue " loving " her body -- thinking positively about it. With her heart condition, she CANNOT have a DEEP massage, but a light one will do wonders WEEKLY!!!! Especially for cancer patients and recovering breast cancer patients! Good luck -- I will say a prayer for your mom... Deb B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 With reference to massage.......... In response to a question from a physician, this medical opinion was offered in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1977: " I firmly believe that heat and massage should not be used if there is any possibility that a primary or metastatic neoplasm exists in the skin or subcutaneous tissue at the site of application. " 7 This is an old source, but it reflects a current concern. The implication is that the closer the cancer is to the skin surface, the greater the risk from massage therapy. Would appreciate your comments if anyone disagrees. Bev.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2003 Report Share Posted July 6, 2003 Chemo is really bad. My mother had breast cancer and we took her to Georgia for alternative treatment. This is information on some of the things my mother got " Iscador is an extract of Mistletoe Mistletoe preparations are used to stimulate the immune system, to kill cancer cells, and to help reduce tumor size. It may also help improve the quality of life and survival of some cancer patients, especially those using chemo and radiation, and may help reduce pain and side effects of these treatments. In addition, a German study done by Dr. Grossarth-Maticek of the Institute for Preventive Medicine in Heidelberg shows that, when used as adjunctive treatment in patients with a variety of cancers, it can increase survival time by as much as 40%. Typical Treatment:A typical treatment course can last several months to years. The doses are gradually increased and adjusted depending on the patient's general condition, sex, age, and type of cancer. Mistletoe is typically given by subcutaneous injection, but it sometimes is injected directly into the tumor particularly on the liver, esophagus and cervix. It may also be taken orally in tumors of the brain and spinal cord.What studies show:In animal studies, mistletoe preparations have helped fight some forms of cancer. The best results with Iscador are claimed for its use with solid tumors both before and after surgery and radiation. Given 10 to 14 days before surgery, it is thought to help prevent metastatic spread due to surgery and to promote recovery and it is also used for advanced stage, inoperable solid tumors, especially cancers of the bladder, stomach, intestine, genital organs, and skin. It is also claimed that bone metastases are retarded in some cases. Results appear less promising for inoperable cancers of the breast, lungs and esophagus. It is thought that tumor growth slows or stops, and then gradual regression begins. It is believed that tumor cells are transformed first to a semi-malignant form, then to chronic inflammation and finally to normal tissue. Mistletoe contains a cytotoxic lectin, viscumin. It also contains a number of cytotoxic proteins and polypetides (viscotoxins). Various lectins are both cytotoxic and immunostimulatory. It induces tumor necrosis, increases natural killer cell activity, increases production of interleukins 1 and 6; activates macrophages; induces programmed cell death (apoptosis), and protects DNA in normal cells during chemotherapy.Side effects and possible risks: Commercial mistletoe extracts generally have minimal side effects, but in rare cases allergic symptoms including anaphylactic reactions have been reported. It usually produces an increase in body temperature and flu-like symptoms. In addition, the injection site can become inflamed and abdominal pain with nausea may occur. Other side effects include: upset stomach, vomiting, diarrhea, chills, fever, headaches, chest pain, and low blood pressure. Overdoses, however, can cause severe poisoning including seizures, coma and death. Even a few leaves or berries can cause poisoning, so never eat part of a mistletoe plant and keep the plants away from animals and children. In addition, because the preparation contains tyramine, patients on any type of monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor antidepressant should not take it. The combination can cause dangerously high blood pressure. People with heart problems should also be careful, since it raises blood pressure and accelerates the pulse. Therapy is normally discontinued in case of high temperature over 38ºC. Some research indicates Iscador injections should not be administered during the first days of the menstrual period. Seizures and death have been reported. This product should only be used in a closely supervised setting, and should not be used for normal consumption - reasons mistletoe products must be prescribed by a physician. celbal - (intervenous) High nutritent, vitamin c, selenium laterile She had to do drinks at home like beta glucan, whey protein, different drops under her tongue. AMYGDALIN (LAETRILE): When the natural substance called amygdalin is purified and concentrated for use in cancer therapy, it is called Laetrile. Amygdalin is extracted from apricot seeds and prepared in both tablet and injectable form. The injectable is more concentrated and capable of delivering higher doses in a shorter period of time. It is usually recommended at the onset of treatment for patients who are seriously ill. After several weeks or a month, if the patient responds well to treatment, the physician will reduce the dosage and prescribe tablets to replace injections. This therapy is usually used in conjunction with the proteolytic enzymes, a broad-spectrum nutritional program, and a diet calling for fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and the elimination of meat and dairy products for the duration of treatment. For more information go to our Laetrile information page. ENZYMATIC THERAPY: Enzyme therapy is generally broken down into two types: food enzymes and Proteolitic enzymes. Several researchers including Dr. Beard, Dr. Ernst Krebs, Jr., and Dr. Dean Burk found that the cancer cell is coated with a protein lining and that it is this protein lining (or covering) that prevents the body's normal defenses from getting to the cancer cell. They found that, if you can dissolve the protein lining from around the cancer cell, the body's normal defenses, the leukocytes (white blood cells), will destroy the cancer cell. Woebenzyme is a product from Germany that appears to do just that. Chapters five and six of the book World Without Cancer describe this process in more detail. HAELAN: Haelan is a promising nutritional-based anti-cancer agent made from liquid soy bean extract. Its array of benefits include blocking cancer-cell blood supplies, enzymatic activity, tumor reduction, and boosting of the immune system. It has also been found to help relieve the side-effects of conventional cancer therapies. HYDRAZINE SULFATE: This is a common industrial chemical that was first proposed in the treatment of cancer in the 1970s by ph Gold, M.D., of the Syracuse Cancer Research Institute. Its use is based on the fact that cancer is known to derive energy from fermenting sugar instead of by burning oxygen, as do other cells. Gold reasoned that hydrazine sulfate would inhibit the liver's ability to deliver sugar to the tumor and, in that way, inhibit tumor growth. Although this is an alternative cancer treatment, it cannot be considered a natural therapy because it is not based on any known mechanism of the body. However, the advocates of hydrazine sulfate claim that it is useful in combating cachexia, the extreme loss of weight that often is associated with the terminal stage of cancer. More info is at Syracuse Cancer Research Institute's website at http://scri.ngen.com/ or http://www.kathykeeton-cancer.com/ or have your doctor call them at 315.472.6616. It can also be ordered by going to http://www.cancerproducts.com/. However there are cautions that should be considered before you use this product. Recipes for those using the product (tyramine-free, vinegar-free... etc.) are available at http://www.angelfire.com/music/fiddle/recipes/recipesindex.html. HYPERTHERMIA: The theory behind hyperthermia (heat therapy) is that raising the temperature of the body increases circulation and also increases the supply of oxygen to the cancer site. Cancer cells do not thrive in the presence of oxygen. Tumors and cells located near the surface of the body are more vulnerable to heat treatments than those protected deep inside. Although the prolonged high temperatures can be uncomfortable to the patient, this treatment has produced excellent results. IMMUNE-SYSTEM BOOSTERS/IMMUNO THERAPIES: Also called Biological Response Modifier Therapy. A biological response modifier is a substance that stimulates the body's response to infection and disease. Products like Colostrum, MGN3, IP6 (Inostal), Iscador (Mistletoe), and mushroom extracts help rebuild the immune system and have been successful in fighting and in many cases reversing cancers. Many centers use some form of immuno therapy. Some use herbs, such as Echinacea, Pau D'arco, and Mistletoe, while others use those factors found in a healthy immune system already such as interferon, interleukin, gamma globulin, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF). Dendritic cell cancer vaccines are special vaccines that use the body's natural defense system to combat cancer. Dendritic cells are a specialized type of immune system cells. Dendritic cells initiate the immune response by processing antigen and presenting it to lymphocytes to stimulate production of more lymphocytes. BioPulse is one of the clinics on the forefront of this specialized technology. I truly believe that you can't do the treatments on your own, you need help. There are so many protocols out there for natural that its over whelming. I have a lot of faith in Dr. Bergeron at the American Wellness Clinic, in Stockbridge Georgia God Bless, Irene Murray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
