Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Elena, I just found out that a dear friends son has stage II Hodgkins lymphoma, would you mind if I gave her your email address and maybe you can steer them in the right direction and save them lots of leg work? I have breast cancer and am exploring alternatives myself. I pray that your road not be a rocky one and that answers become readily available.

After three years of " alternative " protocols (just about everything anyone has ever heard of... with very few exceptions), we're going " complementary. " Hodgkin's lymphoma (about 1% of all cancers and therefore very poorly explored in the " alternative " field) comes complete with an informational gap -- non-mainstream approaches geared _specifically_ towards this " very different " cancer are nonexistent; every single " alternative " therapy anyone with Hodgkin's ever claimed success with, we tried, and none yielded any long term benefits in our case; most were useless short term as well. I can contribute a long list titled " Touted Therapies That Don't Work With Advanced Hodgkin's Lymphoma. " (Interestingly enough, people are seldom interested to hear that something doesn't work... although " what doesn't work " is, just like " what works, " potentially life-saving information!) So now... customized mainstream. After three years of rather discouraging encounters with MDs of the garden variety, we settled on a fairly open-minded onco guy who doesn't think we're nuts, is willing to customize his cookbook recipes in response to our concerns and my ORD ( " obssessive research disorder " ;-) ), and said something when we were discussing our non-mainstream adventures that, for us, settled it: " Unlike some of my colleagues, I have learned that I don't have all the answers. " I will take honesty over " positive " or " negative " or any other " designer " attitude anytime. If anyone thinks I'm a " renegade " for " switching sides, " my " excuse " is that, e.g., Ralph Moss et al who were my own inroads into the " alternative cancer field " do consider Hodgkin's to be one of the few cancers that do indeed do well with mainstream treatments; and a lesser one is that I practice what I preach: NO allegiance to a belief system. Anything, mainstream or alternative, everyone, mainstream or alternative -- better work and work hard and yield _results_! -- or else get flushed down the toilet, whether humbly or indignantly or kicking and screaming. Thanks for listening! Elena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Hi Schwegs, sure, you can give your friend my email, stage II should be MUCH easier to tackle. I've seen it. I still talk on a regular basis with a woman whom we met at our then-mutual doctor's office three years ago, who cured her Hodgkin's stage II with eight sessions of IPT. More an exception than the rule, but now I know for a fact it's possible... with stage II. > > Elena, > I just found out that a dear friends son has stage II Hodgkins lymphoma, would you mind if I gave her your email address and maybe you can steer them in the right direction and save them lots of leg work?
