I do intend to update when I have anything to report - my husband (Abiraterone - taken for 3 weeks - in conjunction with Salvestrols - taken for 2 weeks) was gradually starting to eat again, after having been on liquid meals, but has other complications going on too, so he's overall not much better than he was when he started. We're hoping that with an indwelling catheter then he'll have a chance to get off the pain killers again, so that he can start a recovery period.

He is taking 3 Salvestrol Platinum a day, as advised by Professor Potter, as he is also on Abiraterone (Zytiga). His prostate cancer is very advanced - 300 PSA with lots of mets, and he's finished all conventional treatment like hormone blocker, chemo and radiotherapy.

Hi ozzieme

I have been using salvestrol platinum for  months. I have been going hard out on them for my metastatic melanoma. I know thay are expensive but for me IU was told that the chemo had not worked and so I had not to many other options. So I have been on 6 caps a day and also for a month I did 8 a day. So it was alot but I am willing to put every penny I have into staying alive!!! Anyway at last scan it showed two areas of bone mets were clearing up. Sternum and clavicle. One more spot was found sub cutaneous but the doctors could not feel it. So Tuesday is ultrasound to find it. Will let you know.

Has anyone experienced a swollen liver while on salvestrol?  My husband has colon cancer with a lot of mets to the liver.  His liver swells on and off, and this time it is really swollen.   He was taking essiac tea and noni juice which Gerry said has a lot of salvestrols in them.  I think he got overloaded, and his liver got backed up.  We see a kinesioogist/herbologist and he has switched his to something like the Hoxey formula. 

He tried chemo for a couple of months and it didn't do anything to the cancer, so we are trying alternative alone now.

My husband also has trouble taking pills, so when I realised he'd be having 3 a day I was worried that he wouldn't. But these are gel capsules that slip down easily.

Hi Jessie on 9 may 2011 in this blog Gerry advised another who has esophageal cancer that you can empty two capsules at a time into yoghurt to make consumption easier. Hope this helps. Debbie

Wanted to keep everybody updated about my dad's particular case. (I know that I'm looking through the messages for people sharing their personal experiences using salvestrol)

my dad has stage 4 oesophagul cancer, also spread to lymph knots and the stomach and kidneys. He's been taking the salvestrols for about 6 weeks, and started his first cycle of chemo 3 weeks ago. We haven't had scans yet, and of course it's hard to say wether it's the solvestrols doing their work or the chemo, but he feels and seems much better. Before he wasn't able to lie on his side or stomach because of the tumor growth there, now he is able to. Also as the tumor is blocking food going down, he had mostly been on a diet of soups and liquified / pureed food. However yesterday he ate with the family a completely normal meal, without even needing to spit anything back out! That would have been impossible just a few weeks back! He's been on 2 platinums emptied into yoghurt daily.

I daren't get my hopes up too much: but could it be the tumor is actually shrinking?! And if the results are good: how can we know if it is chemo or salvestrol? This I do find the issue with trusting salvestrols (I very much want to trust them!), but besides the 6 known case studies, it would be so interesting from people to hear here directly what their experience with salvestrols are. But of course because it is such a new and unknown drug to us at the moment, everybody is too scared to rely on just using salvestrols as a treatment, without also going for traditional therepies... Does anyone personally know of cases where people have taken salvestrols ONLY?
