Guest guest Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 I would love to hear from others experiences with this medication...good or bad. When my son was finally diagnosed with in July of 2006, he was put on Tagamet-- 1tsp twice a day. He is still on it. He has been fever free since the day he started his medicine.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Search cimetidine & cancer and see if you want to use it for the purpose of helping in your cancer treatment, if you are so inclined. ________________________________ From: " szukipoo@...

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 I was thinking about taking tagamet, but the pharmacist warned that it had a list of side effects a mile long. It has been abandoned by most doctors because of these side effects. Anyone know more about it? Mike? ? I'm sure knows a lot about it. > > I was reading some interesting information about Tagamet for cancer. > Apparently some cancers have melted away on Tagamet.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 I've read articles in Life Extension how it blocks angiogenesis (formation of new tumor blood vessels). I have my dog on it who has a tumor in his kidney. He was dx over a year ago. We're doing other things for him as well so I can't say how much a player it is. I do know his tumor shrank from 11 cm to 7.5 cm. We're due to get another ultrasound to see how big it is. Regards, steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Jim- I have had troubling gut problems since last Thanksgiving and have been trying various things for them. I have discovered a few new foods that my gut is seeming to regard as irritants and eliminated them, but there seem to be more. But I started taking psyllium seed once a day for fiber and that helps, the other things are Serrapeptase which some say has helped with gut problems, and also Cimetidine- Tagamet. I take it when I wake up in the early morning and have trouble going back to sleep. I haven't noticed any side effects at all but take Betaine Hydrochloride with meals to boost my stomach acid, and got some B12 lozenges in case that would be a problem. My gut has been better, last Saturday it was what I considered " perfect " .:-) As far as cancer, it is supposed to be particularly helpful with gastroentestinal forms. I looked at side effects and it was mainly from affecting stomach acid and the liver enzyme system for eliminating toxins and chemicals from the body. This can be an advantage if you want your medicines to stick around longer before being cleared from the body, as in the case of Mebendazole, a worm medicine that has an anti-cancer effect. > > > > I was reading some interesting information about Tagamet for cancer. > > Apparently some cancers have melted away on Tagamet.

I would think that one wouldn't have to take it forever..just to get control of the tumor. Has anyone had experience with this? I need to figure this out for my dog soon..her tumor is large and nasty looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Tagamet was " abandoned " because the patent ran out. Amazingly, the same week that happened it was " discovered " that ulcers were the result of infection. Duh! Tagamet was fairly worthless for what they were using it for because the theory was flawed. Part of the action against cancer IS from one of the side effects....it's inhibition of liver detox. It's other action is related to it's antihistamine properties. Ironically, they had something pretty good, and used it for something pretty bad.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 If tagamet inhibits liver detox, would you recommend taking periodic breaks from it? How would it fit in with things like coffee enemas etc? Any special other supplements that one should take to support the liver while using it? Thank you. > > Tagamet was " abandoned " because the patent ran out. Amazingly, the same week that happened it was " discovered " that ulcers were the result of infection. Duh!

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Hello dwntwngrl2, Sure, you should take a break from it at intervals. In fact it's prudent to take breaks from herbs also. You can use milk thistle or SAMe to support the liver. Tagamet ties up the detox enzyme by acting as its substrate. It does not, in the short term, damage the liver (well, usually).

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Yes, " Cimetidine " ( Tagamet) is good for a few things and Cancer is just one of them. . . Please google it and cancer it will be of great help for you. . . In a message dated 2/2/2010 1:37:53 A.M. Central Standard Time, dhedrick1@... writes: I just read about the Tagamet. I have a breast cancer and my doctor just gave me Tagamet but I have not yet taken it. He said it was supposed to be good for breast cancer. I am not sure he's right. Can you folks tell me more about what you think. And should I exercise to get my heart rate up several times a week. Several of my friends think I should not.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Tagamet also elevates Prolactin hormone which is something you really don't want to do I think, regardless of whether you are ER hormone positive or negative. Prolactin simulates breast cancer and healthy breast cell proliferation. Usually it's only important during milk production. Check your blood Prolactin level. It's probably best to decrease prolactin to below 3 ng/dl. It's easy to do with about 0.25 mg Cabaser/Dostinex (Cabergoline) twice a day, taken once or twice a week only for a couple of weeks. Dopamine infusions can also decrease prolactin and it appears to be an antiangiogenic agent which makes breast cancer cells more susceptible to chemotherapy. http://clincancerres.aacrjournals.org/content/14/8/2502.abstract Maybe Mebex/Vermox (Mebendazole) and Rizaben (Tranilast) might be better choices for breast cancer than Tagamet.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 cimetidine (Tagamet)—prevents metastasis; I'd use 500-1000mg; effective w/colorectal and BC (Gammill); " Part of [Tagamet's] action against cancer IS from one of the side effects....its inhibition of liver detox.
