He has been told that treatment is not an option and is not part-taking in pallative care supports. He is doing well enough at present and relaly is getting used to his digestive mediation and is sleeping a lot. We have been advised through 'friends of firends' that a non FDA approved drug called Anvirzel may help him fight this disease. Can anyone please let me know if this is a false hope or if this drug actually can help. It is made in San Antonio.  thanks, Solas Fri, 28 Mar 2008 00:00:00 GMT This is an interesting drug from the oleander plant.   It is sold as a dietary supplement in the US which means it has not been in any trials which have proven its benefit in treating, cureing or preventing any disease, including cancer.  So, its hard to say.  PC is such a difficult to treat cancer, anything is worth a try.  Just let your doc know what non-traditional meds you are using. Oncrx Fri, 28 Mar 2008 00:00:00 GMT Many have suggested going to Pancan for information, I agree. They have been a great help to us in getting dr information and putting us in touch with others with similar situation as ours. They are a great support groupMany have also said to talk to some who have used Manateck(spelling) products. We haven't but have talked to several who have and credit it with their success.Jan hiswayc Fri, 28 Mar 2008 00:00:00 GMT Can you please tell me where one can buy ANVIRZEL in USA ?It is not FDA approved but is it possible to buy it as a supplement?I would be very much grateful if you can help in the matter.

Awaiting your helpful response.  kulin Wed, 30 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT You said your father had mets to the liver. he might tryArtemisinin.  I know of a case in which a man had leimyosarcomoa with mets to his liver.  Doctors found it with a scan (CT or MRI) .  He took artemisinin and 3 weeks later went in for a pre-op scan.  The doctors were stunned!  They canceled his operation and said they would continue scans until they found tumors!I do not know any more than this as I lost contact with him in the leiomyosarcoma website.  I took artemsinin for a peas-sized tumor in my scrotum.  The tumor shrunk by half every five days until the 20th day when it was gone! that was 4 years ago!  I never went to a doctor for it!  I purchased my (Artemisinin by Nutricology) at fernsvitamins.comIt was $17.70 /bottle with 90 caps I took 2 caps morning, noon, evening and at bedtime with water (no side affects!).  I now take one capsule morning and at bedtime as a preventative.  Also, it was supposed to work on hemorroids!  Yes, it does, my hemorroids disappeared!!! I have no financial relationship with the above companies    CURESEARCH Thu, 01 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT  On 5/1/2008 CURESEARCH wrote:You said your father had mets to the liver. he might tryArtemisinin.  I know of a case in which a man had leimyosarcomoa with mets to his liver.  Doctors found it with a scan (CT or MRI) .  He took artemisinin and 3 weeks later went in for a pre-op scan.  The doctors were stunned!  They canceled his operation and said they would continue scans until they found tumors!I do not know any more than this as I lost contact with him in the leiomyosarcoma website.  I took artemsinin for a peas-sized tumor in my scrotum.  The tumor shrunk by half every five days until the 20th day when it was gone! that was 4 years ago!  I never went to a doctor for it!  I purchased my (Artemisinin by Nutricology) at fernsvitamins.comIt was $17.70 /bottle with 90 caps I took 2 caps morning, noon, evening and at bedtime with water (no side affects!).  I now take one capsule morning and at bedtime as a preventative.  Also, it was supposed to work on hemorroids!  Yes, it does, my hemorroids disappeared!!! I have no financial relationship with the above companies    Sir,      I am happy to know that the supplement helped you. I would request you to send to me any information on "Anvirzel" which is claimed to be effective in cancer therapy. The information I found was that "Anvirzel" can be purchased as a herbal or nutritional supplement but I don't know where to contact someone in USA, if at all, it is available.     Awaiting your response. Thanks.  kulin Thu, 08 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT On 4/30/2008 kulin wrote:Can you please tell me where one can buy ANVIRZEL in USA ?It is not FDA approved but is it possible to buy it as a supplement?I would be very much grateful if you can help in the matter.
