Which vitamins/supplements work?

Hello,Todd in Yorkshire,England.My first time on here.Long story short,misdiagnosed  when left side face slowly stopped working May-July2005. Left side parotid tumour diagnosed May 2006 so had cancer a year without knowing.Tumour removed June 2006.

Radiotherapy Aug-Oct 2006."All Clear" Jan 2007.

Now returned,have metastases in lungs,spine,most importantly between brain and skull left side.Not strictly speaking a brain tumour as such but now advised no longer able to drive.Prognosis-"It wont happen in days but I dont have years either"

Advised inoperable/incureable.Just had 4th 5-day chemotherapy blast with cisplatin and fluorouracil.2 more to go,Dec and Jan.Tumour in skull has had a MARKED REDUCTION" approaching 50%.I have read several books,notably those by Philip Day and Patrick Quillin and fined them very useful.Also reading inspirational books by cancer sufferers like Jane Tomlinson (English) and Lance Armstrong.

Main query is how helpful fellow sufferers have found nutrition/diet/vitamins/supplements alongside chemotherapy.I have cut out virtually all sugar,most white bread,dairy,chocolate,sweets,almost all alcohol,coffee.Occasional treat to getthe endorphines going as recommended by The Bristol Cancer Care retreat.Strongly recommend a visit there for anyone in England.

Start day with fruit,either organic apples or pineapple. Second meal is sugar free cereal with muesli and blueberries/raspberries/blackberries,soya milk.

Share main meals with family ,only meats organic chicken,tuna.Stir fry,wholemeal pasta etc.  Organic beans ,toast,marmite.Plenty vegwetables.

I am taking vitamins B Complex,,C,C+ ,E,K,,EPA Fish Oil,Quercetin,K,Sea Kelp, Also take enzymes before meal and Biter Apricot Kernels.

The only things I am considering adding now are Co-Enzyme Q-10 and Bovine cartilage.

The Bovine cartilage doesnt appear easy to obtain in England.Has anyone proven theories to make it worthwhile purchasing abroad /on internet?

I strongly believe that chemo combined with diet/supplements and strong positive attitude will help get me longer tham he Doctors expect.

Not expecting miracles but do want to be one of those people that gets mentioned in a "My,is he still going" type story!

Any tips gratefully received.

Thanks for your time.

Todd

There are many raving reviews on Immpower supplements and the chocolaterave.com protein bars.

One boosts your immune system and the other helps fight free radicals like no other treat available today.

I would highly recommend you do some research on an all natural supplement called Poly MVA - if you look on the internet - you will find many posted success stories.  My husband started taking it and many of his tumor markers decreased in about a six week period.  There is also an phone number where you can contact one of their physicians directly and ask questions.  I wish you the best.!!

I do have an acquaintance who took shark cartilage and it saved his life. This cartilage stops the production of blood vessels. Without that, the tumors die off.

Thanks for your reply.First time Ive been on this site for ages-is that a coincidence or meant to be?I am already taking shark cartlidge and had just about decided to drop it as Im now on over a dozen different supplements-- perhaps Ill carry on now! Im trying something called Carctol now,which means Ive had to come off the blueberries/apples/pineapple and any food containing tomato-its an alkaline diet and acid foods are a no-no.Taking barley grass powder as a powerful alkaliser.

I recently tried liquid zeolite,came out in spots and rashes all over so stopped with that-also read alot of criticism re zeolite and the credibility of the people selling it.

Has anyone got any reports,good or bad,on something called Poly-MVA ?Also interested if anyone has recent news on a)Bill Henderson protocol   b)Hydrazine sulphate c) Cesium Chloride /DMSO protocol. d ) IPT. e)Intavenoue Vitamin C in lar doses.Some of these are not so easy to come by in England.

Im narrowing things down from the mountain of possibilities and once Carctol regime over next month I may well try one of the above next.

Thanks and good luck to all out patients and carers out there.Never,ever give up.
