Oncrx Wed, 11 Jul 2007 00:00:00 GMT yes you are right I feel delayed, hospital first refused to do the biposy becouse insurance didn't want to pay for it then they make me wait 2 weeks to see any oncologist....but I guess it has to be like that.......that is why I try natural medicine........... bemomobe Wed, 11 Jul 2007 00:00:00 GMT Hi,You may also want to look into low dose naltrexone.  Search LDN cancer.My husband is using a Gerson type approach, and you can have as much fruit and fresh veggies you want.  If you buy their book, cheapest on Amazon, there are recipes in the back.Lynette Lynette524 Wed, 11 Jul 2007 00:00:00 GMT I work with a natural path and my husband also has hodgkins and from what i know sugar feeds cancer so no suger or white flour fresh fruits and veggies are great.Juiceing is good too essiac tea works for some my husband didnt stay on the diet so he still has it after 7yrs but if you can stick with it I think that  you will be good.Hope that helped a little. wife of hodgkins needs su Sun, 15 Jul 2007 00:00:00 GMT I know how you feel, this all seems to take to long.  I was diagnosed two weeks ago with rectal cancer and still have to see an oncologist yet and the radiologist specialist.  It's to bad they can't skip some steps and make this go faster for us.  As a nurse I'll sure remember this in the future for my patients.  I hope you get seen soon! I wonder if the same teas are good for my type of cancer?  Everyone keeps telling me to drink some tea to help get through chemo too but I want to check with the onc. doctor first.  Any suggestions from anyone is appreciated. Terry Snowmom60 Sun, 15 Jul 2007 00:00:00 GMT I was diagnosed with non Hodgkin's in May 2004 and have never had any traditional treatment. I have a Regimen that was recommended for me by a naturopath and complementary doctor which covers diet, supplements, life style changes etc. which I'll gladly send along if you will send me a private message or you could probably locate it on this board if you check under Alternative medicine since I have posted it here a few times. I continue to feel strong and healthy with no symptoms of disease.

Shemay Sun, 15 Jul 2007 00:00:00 GMT Hi, thank you for your answer....what about rice and groats? what about dairy product? can I eat them? are they all right? bemomobe Mon, 16 Jul 2007 00:00:00 GMT  On 7/16/2007 bemomobe wrote:Hi, thank you for your answer....what about rice and groats? what about dairy product? can I eat them? are they all right?Rice stuff and goat stuff are ok try and stay away from dairy your body dosnt digest dairy after the age of two so if your body is working to try to digest the diary and your immune system needs all the time it can to work. wife of hodgkins needs su Mon, 16 Jul 2007 00:00:00 GMT Try this site for foods to eat. rice and goat are not recommended. Also try buffered vitamin C powder. Take 1 tsp every hour and if you experience diarreha with first 6 hours of use, reduce dosage to 1 tsp every 2 hours. If diarreha continues take 1 tsp every 3 hours. It all depends on hour your body reacts to the vitamin C. Also make sure you follow a strict alkaline diet based on the chart in this link http://www.i-amperfectlyhealthy.com/acid-alkalinefoodlist.ht add calcium, magnesium, selenium, and vitamin A & B to you supplements. You can probably find a combination of these online. Also check what the buffered vitamin C contains. Sometimes it does contain some of these supplements. Keep this strict diet for a couple of months and you will kill the cancer. Good luck and God bless.

I'm not a medical expert, but I know for a fact that transfer factor is possibly the best thing you can do for any type of cancer. Studie show that Transfer Factors propel the Natural Killer cellsactivity by ¢37% above normal activity. NK cells, are important immune cells that provide a crucial first defense against infectious agents and diseased cells. Once activated, NK cells react in two ways. First, they promptly secrete chemical messenger proteins that modulate emerging immune cell responses. Second, they become potent killers of infected cells. Without Natural Kill cells, threatening conditions can get a strong foothold before additional immune responses are able to kick in.

Continued good health! Shemay Fri, 27 Jul 2007 00:00:00 GMT thank you for your answer I will keep taking it.do you know anything else what I can take with chemo? drink noni juice or something else? bemomobe Fri, 27 Jul 2007 00:00:00 GMT thank you a lot for all answers, so No rice no groatsveggies and fruits are goodtransfer factor is okvitamin C, magnesium, selenium, calcium supplementsno diary what about bread? whole grain bread? corn flakes and oat meals? soy milk ect.?? bemomobe Fri, 27 Jul 2007 00:00:00 GMT To my knowledge TFboosts the immune system 437% while Noni juice only 48-49 %. What I do know is, that when you have cancer cells in your body you need to take more TF than the suggested amount. The suggested amount is for prevention. Try taking 3, three times a day Please let me know your results. I have several friends who have different types of cancer and they've been doing well on it. One of them took it while receiving chemo and the immunosuppression that results from it, can be prevented by using TF. Meaning that you don't get the bad side effects from chemo health savvy Fri, 27 Jul 2007 00:00:00 GMT do they take advanced transfer factor 3 times a day? bemomobe Fri, 27 Jul 2007 00:00:00 GMT
