Guest guest Posted August 18, 2001 Report Share Posted August 18, 2001 Hello Ira, I would tell anyone facing chemo to try MGN3 first. My D.O. recommended the double strength formula. It is available from Lane Labs 800-526-3005. My herbalist feels that is made a difference for a cousin of hers. There are probably some other supplements you could add to the therapy,... CoQ10, vit. C & E, selinium, carotene, grape seed, etc., but get started on the MGN3. the lab will send written studies with your order. I used it 3 yrs. ago following a lumpectamy with my stage 3 infiltrating carcinoma & am currently on it for some enlarged lymph nodes in my neck. They are getting smaller. I do not know anything about the Graviola.... sorry. good luck & God be with you. geraldine Message: 2 Date: Fri, 17 Aug 2001 23:25:43 EDT From: iramfine@... Subject: Re:Has anyone heard or know about Graviola? Hello to this group: I received an advertisement in the mail from Health Sciences Institute about a product made from the Amazon Rainforest tree Graviola (Annona Muricata) which alledgedly is a cure for many forms of cancer. All comments are welcome ASAP, as my wife is scheduled to begin chemotherapy this coming Wednesday, and if Graviola is a better alternative, then we may want to try it instead of the chemotherapy.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Hi Mee Ling: I work with MJ, who is 16. She had spinal fusion at age 9. It went really well. The docs told horrible things and how long she would be in the hospital for about a month but was there for 5 days. MJ gets sick frequently, but illnesses aren't as bad since the surgery. She loves that she doesn't have to wear her " turtle shell " back brace! Good luck. > You are the only one that so far I see here who > gives a positive experience on this surgery ! I > have a daughter age 5 with sma II. I am very > worried about her having to go thru the surgery in > future. The place that we live now is not so > advance in medical technology. Hope you may share > with me what had your doctor done or you did > during/after the surgery that made the back surgery > a success one. > > I will be most grateful if anyone else can also share > with me on the above. > > tqvm. caregiver to MJ, SMA type I <A HREF= " http://www.our-sma-angels.com/Margaret/ " >http://www.our-sma-angels.com/Mar\ garet/</A> MJ's website <A HREF= " http://www.caringbridge.org/ny/mjpurk " >http://www.caringbridge.com/ny/mjpu\ rk</A> MJ's journal <A HREF= " http://www.our-sma-angels.com/b4sma " >http://www.our-sma-angels.com/b4sma</\ A> MJ's organization <A HREF= " http://www.caringbridge.org/ny/b4sma " >http://www.caringbridge.org/ny/b4sma\ </A> B4SMA information I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. -----Harper Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 From: Jan Jenson <vizual@...> Indigo has NOTHING to do with detox! Jan Jenson The Wellth Coach From: " Marc " marc@... Date: Fri May 19, 2006 0:02pm(PDT) Subject: Re: Marc - The Indigo Crisis > Hi Diane....I was pointing out in my post how similar the symtpoms of my > condition of Fluorosis and recovery (reducing oxidation of fatty acids and fatty > protiens) was to this belief system. Presumably though, there is more to being an " indigo " than the detox side effects? I think I've read about psychic abilities, and perhaps there are more things that I don't think could be explained away by " detox symptoms " .
