would booch inhibit radiation therapy??

[Guest guest]

I have gotten a friend who was recently diagnosed with inoperative

squamous skin cancer (he has a huge lump in lymph gland in his neck)

started on kombucha. He and his wife love it. Now, he is going to

start chemo and radiation. I suddenly remembered the story about

kombucha protecting Russians from radiation poisoning. I'm wondering

if it might the block the desired anti-cancer effect of the radiation

treatment as well. Does anyone have any idea?

Also, I tried to send this question to Ed Kasper, but his email

address in the contact page of his website doesn't seem to be working.

Are you here, Ed?

Thanks!

I've read similar reports about kombucha and radiation, though I don't know if

anyone has determined how it works. You might also look into miso which is a

little better documented. Try " The Book of Miso " by Shurtleff & Akiko

Aoyagi for more information on the health benifits of miso. I find that using

both miso and kombucha in my diet greatly increases my overall sense of

well-being.

Man tries to make for himself in the fashion that suits him best a simplified

and intelligible picture of the world; he then tries to some extent to

substitute this cosmos of his for the world of experience, and thus overcome it.

Hi Jill

I have recently finished a six week course of daily radiotherapy, and my

neighbour has almost finished her course of chemotherapy. We both drink

kombucha (me for fifteen years, her for three). At our last tests I have been

told I am doing well, and my neighbour's tumour is still shrinking.

I would also add that we have both seemed to have coped with the after- and

side-effects of the surgery and therapies better than a lot of the other people

going through the same things.

State of mind is almost as important as state of body for an illness like

cancer, and maybe the positive effects of the kombucha, and the conscious

thought that it is probably helping, make the whole thing a bit easier. My only

major change to the kombucha has been to replace most of the black tea with

green in my brewing mix.

My view is that the radiation and chemo are doing their thing, and the tiredness

and sickness (unpleasant by-products) are helped by diet and lifestyle - and

regular kombucha.

But - as in all things medical - your friend should probably discuss it with

their doctor to put their mind at rest. All my doctors have been understanding

and supportive of any questions and alternatives I have mentioned to them.

Good luck to your friend.

Jo, thank you very much for sharing your story with us. It really helps on

this question. You are fortunate that your doctors have been supportive of

your questions and alternatives. I know this is an increasing trend

and most welcome.

Get some Black Salve, some pain pills and it will eat out, and kill that lump in

not time. Get the roots too. Check out black salve. Might save his life.
