My dad has been battling lung cancer (Squamous Cell) for the past year and is now at Phase 4. We saw the doctor last Friday and the latest results show that the cancer has spread from the lungs into his spine, bone marrow and liver. The doctor has given him 3 months to live and suggests that he starts making arrangements. I'm not in denial about how serious this is, however, think that the doctor is covering his own back rather than providing my father with the proper advice and support that could extend his life. My dad has been following a high fibre, fruit and vegetable diet, mediating daily, drinking kombucha tea, attending reflexology and reiki sessions, taking daily vitamin supplements with vitamin A, C, E, selenium, Q10 amongst many other minerals, on top of two 6 session groups of chemotherapy over the past year. Many nurses have remarked on how well he has stood the chemo and despite being given 4 months to live in January, is still well enough to drive and continue with activities he enjoys, although he now gets tired quickly, has chest pains, coughs up blood and is uncharacteristically grumpy (understandably so, as the support he has received from the orthodox medical places has been absolutely awful). The only thing the doctor could suggest last week to "lessen the pain" was Tarceva (which is only available on the NHS) and refused to offer any more chemo. I am firmly against Tarceva, as everything the doctor has offered so far seems to have worsened his condition by weakening his immune system and think the good results dad had earlier this year were the results of his own efforts using a natural holistic approach. What I would like to know is, can anyone who was in a similar position recommend a natural treatment that has given them good results (i.e. halted the spread of the cancer)? I was thinking about either:
-The Hulda Clark method
-Zeolite
-CanCell (Protocell)
-PolyMVA
-Gerson therapy
Any advice of experience and response to any of the above treatments or other methods would be really welcome. Also any information on Tarceva would also be deeply appreciated. Please help.
Many thanks,
Becky
