Hi haspain Me thinks your "gut feeling" is correct about the antacids. They would have indeed been keeping your system alkaline and that is exactly what baking soda can do as well. The doctor at the clinic I go to recommends all his cancer patients use Ph testing strips and then use 1/2 or more teaspoon of baking soda in water or ginger-ale several times a day to keep their levels stable.......

He also highly recommends the use of high daily doses of ascorbic acid. I personally use 10grams daily and up to bowel tolerance (40grams is my personal level) when I feel my health is compromised by stress or other factors such as an impending cold etc. I also use a vit c product called lypo spheric which is a very efficient high dose source since it is delivered in nano-spheres. ..........

........ I also now take maintenance Intravenous vitamin C /lipoic acid/???? treatments every six or so weeks after having weekly infusions for about ten months.
I am going to attach a list of supplements with some links to information about them which I hope will be helpful for you.
Since a strong immune system is really the key to killing all disease, taking the supplements that are highly recommended for boosting the immune system is really important.Here are a few links with some information on some of the most valuable immune boosters that my doctor recommends. Of course we all have our own particular deficiencies so it is best to see a naturopath or other alternative healthcare professional to have your own testing done. ...................

AVEMAR
http://www.cancercompass.com/cancer-news/1,12705,00.htm .............
In clinical cancer trials, Avemar was shown
to reduce the progression of disease in patients with
head and neck cancers, colorectal cancer, and
malignant melanoma of the skin. The quality of life of
patients with breast cancer or lung cancer improved
significantly (P < 0.05) after supportive treatment
with Avemar: improvements in the global state of
health and fatigue were observed in lung cancer
patients, and improvements in physical and emotional
function, the global state of health, fatigue, nausea,
vomiting, insomnia, and constipation were observed in
breast cancer patients. Clinical studies of the
efficacy of Avemar in the treatment of other cancers
are ongoing. However, observational data indicate that
this wheat germ extract has favorable effects on
ovarian cancer, gastric cancer, thyroid cancer,
non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. "The
therapeutic spectrum of Avemar is much wider than it
had been thought some years ago."
Avemar is the new wonder-alternative cancer treatment / adjuvant therapy for boosting the immune system and fighting cancer. "Research at UCLA has demonstrated that Avemar reduces glucose flow into the cancer cells. Cancer cells can evade NK [natural killer] cells by masking their outer membrane with a special substance that the NK cells recognize as 'normal.' Avemar suppresses the release of this masking substance -- allowing NK cells to better target and kill the cancer cells." Avemar's immune-stimulating ability appears to be so powerful that it can be useful in helping to restore even the most severely compromised immune systems. ....................

I know, there is a lot to research here but knowledge is power. There have been some quite miraculous turnarounds using only alternative protocols and I feel I am one of them so If you would like to have a copy of the Regimen (diet, etc.) that I have followed since my diagnosis in May 2004, please send me a private message and I'll gladly share it with you.

Thanks for your Message. Lots of useful info. As for controlling my cancer and what I do - well up until a few weeks ago when I found I had new secondaries I had followed medical protocols (I am a Registered Nurse so my faith had always been with Docs!).
My cancer is called Sarcoma and is very difficult to treat. 12 years ago my chances of survival were virtually nil, however I survived nearly 8 years without any secondaries. I did not change my lifestyle or alter my diet until I came to Spain 5 years ago. I had been here less than a year when the secondaries appeared. The only difference to my life here was that I stopped taking enormous amounts of antacids because I no longer had a business and no longer had constant indigestion. I am almost 100% convinced that the antacids kept my body highly alkaline which inhibited tumour production - no proof just a gut (forgive the pun) feeling. When I was diagnosed with more seconadaries a few weeks ago I racked my brains for what was differrent in my life here to England and they are the only thing. So I am now taking huge amounts of them again - worth a try.
I am also eating a lot of fruits (raspberries my favourite) cereals and nuts and drinking fruit juice. I also drink powdered vitamin C about 3 sachets a day 1000mg. I have zeolite and B17 on the way which I will start taking. I refuse to deprive myself of little treats that I enjoy, I dont drink alcohol (don't like the taste) but I do like the ocasional piece of choclate. I swim in the summer months but am not a great one for exercising. Other than that I do not suppose I do anything that makes me any differrent from anyone else. As I have said I am convinced about the antacids being a contributory factor and suggest it may be of interest to research.
WoW! I have written an essay here, sorry if I have bored you. Keep in contact let me know how you are doing.
