Re: bone pain
Posted by:capt_merrill Fri Nov 16, 2007 6:06 am (PST)

Hi Sara
I have heavy mets to the bone from prostate cancer. I am virtually pain free and wish I could say prescisely which of the substances I take daily is a pain reducer. Certainly I was in a lot of pain before doing these things. My feeling is that it is a combination of everything I am doing. I am also on the Budwig diet. I add a tablespoon of MSM to the cottage cheese/flaxseed oil mix. MSM is said to help with pain.

Here is the recipe for my morning drink.

4 Tablespoons cottage cheese
2 Tablespoons flax seed oil
1 Tablespoon MSM
1 Tablespoon Whey
Juice of 2 fresh oranges
2 Tablespoons of Pomegrante concentrate
1 Tablespoon of Genistien

It makes quite a heavy drink so you might want to add more juice. In addition to the above I drink Jasmine green tea with a little maple syrup all day long, made fresh from loose leaves.

I also drink at least 8 ounces of Pau-Darco tea and 8 ounces of Rishi Mushroom tea which I make from dried mushrooms. I boil the mushrooms for about half an hour. Let them steep, then boil them again and make about two quarts at a time.

I drink 8 to 16 ounces of raw juice per day. This is carrott/apple and broccoli or brussel sprouts.You dont get too much juice out of broccoli so I clean the filter just for doing broccoli and use stalk and all. And.....at least 8 ounces of lemonade made from the juice of one lemon, maple syrup and a quarter teaspoon of Cayenne pepper.

I am also on Bisophoshonates which is recommended for bone tumors. Thats a lot of liquids to drink but by spacing them thru the day I can get it done.Some of the pain that I experienced was definately due to inflammation, so I also take two capsules of Zyflamend per day from New Chapter. This product contains Tumeric,Holy Basil,Ginger and other substances helpful to reduce inflammation.

Looking at the above one would think "how can I ever do all that" But....its like everything else, once you learn how to do it, and after you do it for a while, you just become faster and faster at it, creating little shorcuts in your own kitchen space that speed things up.

It takes a little time for these things to become really effective. In the meantime for rapid relief she might ask the doctor for a prescription of Oxycontin 12 hour release. Combine this with Ibuprofen and you have a most effective combination of pain relief. Oxycontin is always a decision because of the fear of addiction, and there is major concern for liver damage from ibuprofen, so they should be used sparingly.

If none of the above are effective then you have to step up to some kind of intervention and I am sure your Oncologist will suggest Radiation and or Chemo, so its much better to work hard on alternative means.
Good Luck.
Dan

Experimental research finds silibinin reduces growth of liver cancer
Posted by: rb2717 Fri Nov 16, 2007 6:08 am (PST)

Life Extension Update Exclusive
Experimental research finds silibinin reduces the growth of liver cancer

A report published in the October 28, 2007 issue of the World Journal of Gastroenterology described the finding of hepatologist Ke-Qin Hu, John J Lah and Wei Cui at the University of California, Irvine that silibinin, derived from milk thistle, significantly reduces the growth
of several human liver cancer cell lines. The compound has previously demonstrated an inhibitory effect on prostate, colon, skin, bladder and lung cancer cell cultures.

Silibinin is a polyphenolic flavonoid and the major biologically active compound of the milk thistle plant. Milk thistle has long been used as an herbal remedy for liver disease and has been shown to have a protective effect on the organ against alcohol or drug related damage.

In the current study, Dr Hu's team treated four different human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines with varying doses of silibinin, and examined the compound’s effect on cell growth and proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle progression, histone acetylation,and other related processes.

The team found a dose-dependent inhibition of tumor growth associated with silibinin compared to untreated cells in all lines tested. They discovered that silibinin decreased cancer cell proliferation and cell cycle progression, enhanced apoptosis (programmed cell
self-destruction), and altered the genetic structure of the cancerous cells. At a higher concentration, silibinin also showed an inhibitory effect on two markers of angiogenesis.

"Our results defined silibinin's in vitro anti-HCC effects and possible mechanisms, and provided a rationale to further test silibinin for HCC chemoprevention," the authors conclude.

Featured Products

Silibinin Plus

Silibinin is of particular importance for those who may have concerns for the health of their liver. The most biologically active flavonolignan found in silymarin is silibinin. Standardized milk thistle extract usually consists of 60-70% silibinin. Silibinin’s main hepatoprotective properties are that of free radical scavenger and membrane stabilizer. Other important antioxidant effects of silibinin are due to its influence on the superoxide dismutase and the enzyme system associated with glutathione. In addition, silymarin and silibinin actually help maintain a normal rate of protein synthesis in the liver, leading to more efficient cellular functions such as cell division.

Silibinin's influence on the 5-lipooxygenase pathway can also account for its role in supporting healthy liver function. http://www.lef.org/newshop/items/item00503.html

Mega Silymarin with Isosilybin B

The botanical extract in Mega Silymarin is a triple standardized milk thistle extract. In addition to an optimal 80% standardization of the main active compounds, silymarin flavonolignans, Mega Silymarin is further standardized to two highly active isomers - silibinin and isosilybin B. Most premium milk thistle extracts are void of or lack consistent amounts of the most active flavonolignan isomer isosilybin B. http://www.lef.org/newshop/items/item00702.html

LEF: Complementary alternative cancer therapies
Posted by: rb2717 Fri Nov 16, 2007 6:10 am (PST)


Health Concern
Complementary alternative cancer therapies

Complementary alternative medical therapies (CAM) is a collective term for an array of remedies that lie outside what is traditionally considered conventional medical treatment for cancer. These include the use of herbal, vitamin, and nutritional supplements, as well as physical and psychological interventions such as exercise, relaxation, massage, prayer, hypnotherapy, and acupuncture (Deng G et al 2005; Hann D et al 2005; Molassiotis A et al 2005). The use of CAM as a component of integrated cancer treatment regimens may help patients reduce the side effects associated with conventional cancer treatments, alleviate
symptoms, enhance immune function, and provide greater quality of (and control over) life (Deng G et al 2004, 2005).

Natural strategies known to prevent the development and progression of cancer include:
Calcium
Carotenoids
Curcumin
Garlic
Green and black teas
Folic acid
Melatonin
Selenium
Silymarin
Vitamin A
Vitamin C
Vitamin D
Vitamin E
Vitamin K.

Silymarin, a milk thistle extract, demonstrates anti-cancer properties against prostate cancer cells and may be useful in preventing and treating prostate cancer (Singh RP et al 2004; vis-Searles PR et al 2005).

LEF: Complementary to Mainstream/Insult to Alternative!
Posted by: breathedeepnow Fri Nov 16, 2007 7:16 am (PST)

Hi, Robert.

Thank you for that list. It is very impressive and helpful.

I am always struck, though, by the term "complementary" as used by the mainstream. To me it means that since the mainstream is unable to keep people with cancer from using alternative treatments, they are willing to tolerate them in order to get their "patients" to comply with chemotherapy, radiation and surgery.

But what should someone who believes in the real effectiveness of Gerson, Budwig, LDN, raw foods and other effective protocols use to describe mainstream treatment? Wouldn't it be appropriate for such a person to call mainstream medicine "Insulting," since the so- called "side-effects" from it often seriously injure the body, and since they significantly interfere with the therapeutic effect of alternative treatment?

Could we not conversely say the following:

Mainstream strategies known to temporarily shrink tumors and then allow them to come roaring back with a vengeance, as well as to produce neutropenia, anemia, nausea, vomiting, infections, terrible mouth sores, diarrhea, serious fatigue, hair loss, terrible rashes, blistering and other assorted damage to the body include:

chemotherapy
radiation
surgery

Is that not fair?

Best wishes and best of health,

Elliot

Hi Elliot.. I helped start a non-profit website called www.cancervictors.net to discuss these very issues and would love for you to share some of your ideas there as well. Check out the utube video of my mom and I on the bottom of the front page in the middle. I say the same thing you are saying on there. We definitely have to get the word out! take care and God Bless!

Re: virus/fungus cures?

Posted by: sweettelamoonheart Sat Nov 17, 2007 12:51 am (PST)

Hi Margie,

If you are able to order Australian Blue Cypress oil this will help with viruses. I had a plantars wart on the bottom of my foot and was told by a woman who has a shop in town and she suggested the Australian Blue Cypress oil. I did what she said and the plantars wart went away in a week.

The way I was directed to take it and took it was as follows:

this might sound weird but it was the way I was told to take it internally. Because it worked, this is the way I do it:

put one drop of the oil on the back of your hand and lick it off (the reason for this might be so that the oil is spread out on your tongue; not sure)

then put one drop on a small piece of cotton and place that directly onto the wart. I put a band-aid on it to keep the cotton in place. I kept it on and changed it at least once a day at the same time or additionally when I showered.

It worked. Was painless. and Was easy.

Good luck.

Why the bloodroot? This is nothing to tangle with if you don't know what you are doing. It is an extremely potent herb and if you don't use it correctly it can do more damage than good.

Re: NEW ESSIAC FORMULA, MORE EFFECTIVE
Posted by: sweettelamoonheart Sat Nov 17, 2007 12:50 am (PST)

I thought I would just throw my two cents in for whatever it was worth.

Some or all of you might know about this product but I figured since this is the subject I'll share just incase.

There is a version of Essiac by Flora, it is called Flor-essence. It has the Essiac ingredients plus 3 others I believe.

I do not really know how anyone can truly determine the effectiveness of products without trying them, so I would evaluate based on the product ingredients, where & how the manufacturer acquires & handles their ingredients and the overall integrity of the company.

I found out about the Flor-essence because a friend has bladder cancer and I was directed to it by some smart folks that are abreast of alternative treatments.

I know Flora is a good company, however, there is no way for me to know where the product stands in effectiveness over the other Essiac formulas. I contacted the company because I wanted to know more about the product. But the person that is the Flor-essence and Essiac person wasn't in that day.

I decided to get one jar for myself to do a little detox just to see how I felt but I haven't been taking it regularly.

If anyone has experience with this particular formula for cancer I would love to hear about
it.

All the best,
Brigitte

Paw Paw report
Posted by: elainegallant Fri Nov 16, 2007 4:02 pm (PST)

ok...I don't know if it's the Paw Paw, but my cancer has continued to heal.

I am in the unique position of having cervical cancer. It's a lesion I can palpate physically. I can check it manually to see what it's doing. For the last month, I was at an apparent stand still. There MAY have been internal healing going on. Externally, where I can touch it, the
lesion would form crazy blood vessels on the surface, that would bleed.

It has only been three days. I've taken exactly 4 Paw Paw pills. Am also on pancreatic enzymes, colloidal silver, LDN, and cesium.

The lesions are getting smaller. They are not bleeding. Not at this time anyway. So far, so good with the Paw Paw and other alternatives.
