Thanks for this information. As for your Dad, hope it is helping him. For myself, I took MMS in capsules and it went so much better. Thanks again Orrilia

Dad passed away a year ago. I actually didn't give him the MMS long as he was afraid it would interfere with his leukemia medicine. But he did try it for me, but didn't like the taste, and since at his 6'2", 240 pounds, I figure if he couldn't even tolerate 2 drops it, and at his age--80, it just wasn't worth trying to get him up to full dose. He felt really good, except when he took the MMS, so I just didn't want to have him feeling miserable all the time. He'd been through plenty at that point, and I was happy for the days he felt good.

But thank you for your kind words.

Samala,

Is there a chance that the diet could help or is the immune system damaged

forever? Just wanting to help a friend...but I don't want to say anything unless

I know there is some hope. Thanks so much,

@@ Hi Gail,

Yes, this diet's particular purpose actually is to strengthen the immune system.

And yes , I would say it would be fair to say that this diet would help your

friend.

Chemo does attack and damage the immune system. However, pending on variables

not everyone dies from using Chemo. Thus, some go on and their immune system

does slowly recover. So the diet would support the immune system with the

necessary nutrients, it sorely needs to rebuild.

However, the more sessions of chemotherapy one does, the more the damage.

Therefore, its not in one's best interest to use this approach to Cancer.

Unless the Chemo is cultured and calibrated to that person's unique chemical

make-up and particular Cancer. Which is rarely done.

Gail, there is hope, of course!

In general there is almost always hope. Everyone has a set " birthdate "

, however, nobody has a set " expiration date " . That is just Doctors trying to

play God and imposing their ignorance, that dole out these scare tactics!

Vitamin C intravenous might be a therapy your friend may wish to also implement.

This therapy has been successful treating Cancer for decades. This can be

administered by regular Doctors and Orthomolecular Physicians as well.

Here is the directory for Orthomolecular Physicians below.

+++Hi Gail,

Our former moderator, Jackie, had breast cancer and chemo treatments. She

finished this program awhile ago, and is doing great, but continues to eat

healthy foods, avoids toxins, etc. She wrote about it on this group many times

and is confident she'll never have cancer again.

However, like Ed suggested your friend should get intravenous vitamin C

treatments as soon as possible, and at the same time start on this program.

My sister-in-law had uterine cancer and after a hysterectomy they wanted to do

chemo treatments. Instead she got intravenous vitamin C. After finishing it

she got re-checked by her doctor and there was no cancer.

Cancer Deaths Impact Whole World in Costs

" Compared to the economic impact of premature death and disability of all causes

of death, cancer has the greatest cost worldwide. These findings were recently

published in a report from the American Cancer Society and the LIVESTRONG

organization.

" Cancer care costs are a financial burden to patients, their families, and

society as a whole. In 2006 medical expenses from cancer care in the United

States were an estimated $104.1 billion. As the population ages, costs are

expected to continue to increase as cancer prevalence rises. In addition, the

development of expensive, targeted treatment strategies that are becoming the

standard of care will most likely increase cancer costs. According to the World

Health Organization (WHO) between 2004 and 2030, global cancer deaths will

increase from 7.4 million to 11.8 million and cancer will be the leading cause

of death this year followed by heart disease and stroke. "

Inherited Mutations

" Among women with a BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation, prophylactic mastectomy

(preventive removal of the breasts) reduces the risk of getting breast cancer.

Prophylactic salpingo-oophorectomy (preventive removal of the fallopian tubes

and ovaries) reduces the risk both breast and ovarian cancer. These results were

published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. "

http://www.caring4cancer.com/go/cancer/news?NewsItemId=45088

_________________________________

" Researchers reviewed almost 150 studies to evaluate how much social

relationships contribute to longevity. They found that stronger social

relationships were associated with a reduced risk of death of 50%. The reduced

risk was present regardless of gender, age, cause of death, and length of

follow-up. The nature of social relationships was also important, with broader

social connections having a stronger influence than relationships within the

home (whether an individual lived alone or with others). "

SPRYCEL USED IN TREATMENT OF PH + ALL

" The initial report of a Phase II study evaluating Sprycel® (dasatinib) combined

with chemotherapy for the treatment of Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute

lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) indicates that 94% of patients achieve a

complete remission. These findings were recently published in the journal Blood.

Adult ALL is a malignant disease or cancer of the blood characterized by the

rapid uncontrolled growth of abnormal, immature white blood cells known as

lymphoblasts. There are approximately 5,000 new cases of adult ALL each year in

the United States, with approximately 1,500 deaths. Up to 40% of adults with ALL

have Ph+ ALL. Adults with Ph+ ALL usually receive Gleevec® (imatinib) in the

induction regimen. "

TWENTY CAUSES OF CANCER

" The American Cancer Society, National Institute for Occupational Safety and

Health, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, and the National

Cancer Institute collaborated to sponsor a report that identified 20 potential

causes of cancer that may warrant further research due to widespread human

exposure and suggestive evidence from animal studies. Below is the list, which

includes 19 common chemicals, plus one environmental condition:

a.. Lead and lead compounds,Indium phosphide

b.. Cobalt with tungsten carbide, tanium dioxide, Welding fumes

c.. Refractory ceramic fibers, Diesel exhaust, Carbon black

d.. Styrene-7, 8-oxide, and styrene, Propylene oxide, Formaldehyde

e.. Acetaldehyde, Dichloromethane, methylene chloride (DCM)

f.. Trichloroethylene (TCE), Tetrachloroethylene (perc, tetra, PCE)

g.. Chloroform, Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)

h.. Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), Atrazine, Shift work

NEW RECOMMENDED DOSE OF VITAMIN D FOR THE ELDERLY

The objective of the new position statement was to make vitamin D

recommendations for older men and women from an evidence-based perspective. The

best indicator of vitamin D levels is the serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD),

which is determined by sun exposure and vitamin D intake. Blood levels of

vitamin D decline with age; however, individuals have been shown to respond to

vitamin D supplementation regardless of age.

Dear all, the LDN research Trust has found a cancer specialist who would like to do trials on LDN for cancer. This is a breakthrough indeed. We need as much information as possible so that there has been some groundwork done for him to see.

The info that is required which will be help and be in strict confidence is only given to the Professor and his team who are looking for Cancer patients to help them initiate Clinical Trials.

Name

Address

Country

Telephone Number

Email Address

Age

Diagnosis Date

Type of Cancer

What stage

Prognosis? were you given a life time scale by your oncologist, when, and what what stage are you now?

LDN start date? Please explain whether you had conventional treatment first, or used LDN at the same time as chemo - or after your chemo was stopped - as many details as possible here please...

I thank you you in advance ,and it doesn't matter where you live, if you have cancer and use LDN then all information will help........ Pleeeeeeeease help us get this work started, and send your information to -

> Thank you so much, Bee. I will let her know about the Vit.C IV. She has been

very sick and unable to keep down much food. She has been diagnosed with stage

4. It is in her left lung,lymph system and liver. They give her 6-9 mos. I

hope I can get to her and help her heal before then.

+++Hi Margaret,

Remember that even Vitamin C IVs cannot save everyone. My friend, whose doctor

gave her the IVs in the hospital, eventually couldn't handle them since her

kidneys also had cancer. The end was very sad.

But your sister might have a chance, but no one knows until she gets the IVs and

changes her diet, takes supplements, etc.
