Re: Bone Scan Advice -radiation protection

[Guest guest]

Leonard and everyone else, thank you so much!!!

I went out Thursday afternoon and got some NAC and reduced glutathione. I

couldn't get any fucoidan. I would imagine that I take those for only a month?

But I'm adding crushed kelp to my Budwig in the morning now which I'll do for a

month or so as well, so that should help with the fucoidan. I also got some

organic whole sunflower seeds, which I'm snacking on bit by bit throughout the

day.

As for the rest; buckwheat, dark leafys, Vit E succinate, Vit C, CoQ10,

Selenium, alpha lipoic acid, wheatgreasss, milk thistle, etc. I have been taking

every day since initial cancer diagnoses, 6 months ago (as well as many other

supplements as recommended on this list).

Wish me luck on negative bone scans please.

natural supplements that protect you from harmful effects of radiation:

x-rays: take chlorella 2x/day for 1 month after the radiation

things that I like both as radiation enhancers and protectors. Some of the

protectors apply also for diagnostic imagery. I like caffeine, Vit E succinate,

NAC [glutathione], fucoidan (Gammill, 2010)

" vitamin C, CoQ10, alpha lipoic acid, selenium, N-acetyl cysteine [NAC], and

vitamin E succinate "

(www.secondopinionnewsletter.com/scripts/viewArchive.aspx?AID=85)

dark-green leafy vegetables, algae, wheatgrass, barley grass, cabbage, & other

GREEN foodssea vegetables/seaweed-- arame, hiziki, nori, wakame, Irish moss,

dulse, and particularly kombu and KELP (preferably Icelandic) all contain sodium

alginate which binds to radioactive substances.

" Apples and sunflower seeds contain pectin...Buckwheat...green

foods...algae...Sea vegetables "

fucoidan (Gammill) " in kelp and Modifilan.com

N-acetyl Cysteine (NAC) (converted to glutathione); take on empty stomach; take

in divided doses throughout the day since it may have a short half-life;

recommended by Gammill, 5/09

This is a very informative discussion thread - thanks again everyone! I'm

reading it all and following all the links and learning as much about this

as I can. I haven't seen anything about this on this list in the 6 months

I've been here, so it's new and great learning.

Fortunately, thanks to this list and everyone here, I am eating all the

right foods and supplements every day, none of the wrong foods and making

sure I exercise and do meditation regularly. No rads, chemo, chemicals, pain

meds etc. I've changed my life completely to ensure as best I can, a full

recovery and on-going health.

I didn't want to have the bone scan, but I didn't want to wait the 3-6

months to find out why my lower back is hurting me and causing restless legs

at night for the first time in my life either.

One cool thing, the tail end of the bronchitis that I've had for 2 weeks

cleared up in 2 days completely with the NAC and I had refused antibiotics

How much vitamin D3 are you taking? Better yet, get a vitamin D test and ensure

your levels are at least 40-60 ng/m (toward the higher end is better if you are

fighting cancer). It is very important for to increase effectiveness of

radiation and also helps fight cancer...

http://www.news.vcu.edu/news/Vitamin_D_compound_may_enhance_radiation_treatment_\

for_cancer

" RICHMOND, Va. - Researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center

have found that a form of Vitamin D given before low-dose radiation to treat

breast cancer significantly enhanced the ability of irradiation to kill

malignant cells without damaging healthy tissue.

The study, to be published in the May print edition of Cancer Chemotherapy and

Pharmacology and available online now, also suggests that combining the Vitamin

D compound and low-dose radiation results in continued death of breast cancer

cells for a week after treatment and may inhibit recurrence. The results could

lead to shorter radiation treatment periods for breast cancer patients and could

present new treatment options for other cancers that are resistant to

radiation. "

From reading this, it makes you wonder why this is not done with typical

treatments now... this was studied in 2003!

" How much vitamin D3 are you taking? "

Great article ~ thanks! I've been taking 6,000UI a day since diagnosis 6

months ago.
