My mother has small cell lung cancer and is having chemotherapy using CAMPTOSAR (Irinotecan Hydrochloride) PLATINOL (Cisplatin) DECADRON (Dexamethesone). Anyone else on these or know anything about these? Is there something someone with small cell lung cancer is taking that has been good to use and had some results? My main question is there anyone I can talk to who can give me any information on what my mother should take like something to boost immune system. And is the form or power better on your liver than capsules as far as using products? Also wondering why my mothers doctor said he could give her what she needs like a multivitamin and said that she shouldn't use any of the things in health food stores. Could anyone send me some information? Patricia D. Thu, 14 Aug 2003 00:00:00 GMT Hi Patricia, I don't have lung cancer. I was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer in May 2001. You are on the right track, looking for anything that will help with your mum's immune system. Have you checked out Beating Cancer with nutrition by Patrick Quillin or Challenge Cancer and Win! by Kim Dalzell. Other favorites are A Woman's Guide to Healing From Breast Cancer, A Healer Within by Roger Jahnke, Spontaneous Healing by Dr Andrew Weil. For me, I have summarized all the info into, Take care of your immune system, major organs like liver, heart and it will take care of you. Lose excess fat and weight, eat lightly, more complex carbo incl. veg and fruits, chew properly, exercise lightly and regularly, seek out other survivors. Read the books, they say it so much better. Take care, Jo Joanna C. Thu, 14 Aug 2003 00:00:00 GMT Hi Patricia I just came across your message and would like to share some information with you. I work with people every day on health issues and I know doctors do not understand the benefits of GREENS. This is LIFE....... The more we can get into our body the healthier we will be. If it were my mother she would be drinking a green drink twice a day and taking a range of supplements to support her weak systems. If she has a weak digestive system, liquids would be easier to take. Water is most important to help hydrate the organs. Give your mother lots of love and hope and prayers. Laura P. Tue, 30 Sep 2003 00:00:00 GMT I have done much research myself, on cancer and nutrition and supplements. I am an ovarian cancer survivor (diagnosed May 2001), and I truly believe all my knowledge and practice has helped me. I have also had chemotherapy, and actually have just begun more chemotherapy for a recurrence. However, I have stayed away from chemo for THREE years, which is outstanding for Stage IIIc. When this chemo is finished, I plan to heavily detox and rebuild, which I did some of after my first treatments, but not on quite the scale I should have. I have since then, learned much more, and had alternative therapies in between. You want the chemo to do it's job if you commit to it, but there are several supplements and GREEN DRINKS are one of them, and all my docors are in agreement on, during chemotherapy. I have a medical oncologist, a gynecologic oncologist, a D.O. practiciing European Biologic Medicine, and Internist (M.D.), and have met with a nutitionist. I have also taken IP-6, E, Beta-Carotene, C, B Complex, CoQ10, and more during my last chemotherapy and after. I also eat a greens based, high alkaline diet, and drink 8-10 glasses of pure water a day. Get the Book: "BEATING CANCER WITH NUTRITION", by Patrick Quillan, available at Borders, Barnes & Noble, and I'm sure on Amazon. He is one of the most highly respected nutritionists in the world. It will really educate you, and maybe even your doctor. A good doctor will admit that they can't be an expert at everything, and it takes a team. A good doctor is open minded, and will acknowledge the countless studies linking lower cancer incidence, and improved survial and cure with certain nutrition programs for certain cancers. Doctor get only get 4 weeks of nutrition in medical school, and those that are very knoweledgable have usually taken it upon themselves to round out their information, and become holistic minded. Thankfully, I have found three doctors like that. I have learned that each cancer is really a separate disease, and that there are differents supplements and diets that have shown particular effectiveness with certain cancers. That's why you HAVE TO TAKE CONTROL, and learn as much as you can. The book I have mentioned puts information from several sources in one place, so don't think you have to spend hours reading every book in the store. I was drawn to that book, and he is a very highly repsected author and nutritionis in many circles, as I said. Happy reading! I hope something I've said here helps you, and maybe others you come in contact with. Best of Luck and God Bless You. Also, if you're so inclined, meditate/pray on the concept of claiming you God given good health, and believing your incredible self worth, and saying, "Miracles Happen Every Day. I Accept Divine Healing. And So It Is. And So It Is. And So It IS. Amen." It doesn't matter what religion you may be. This wonderful affirmation/prayer, is non-denominational. I took part of it from "You Can Heal Your Life", by Louise Hay. God Bless. Jolene Joli d. Tue, 30 Nov 2004 00:00:00 GMT They say not to eat healthy things such as vitamins because they can interact with the cancer drugs and lessen there effect. PolyMVA alone has cured many cancers. I will send you information including where to get PolyMVA. Blessings to your family Kristie Kristie Tue, 21 Dec 2004 00:00:00 GMT My husband has small cell cancer in limined stage. I'd like more info about polyMVA and how you heard about it and if you know anyone who has used it. Please need your help. Bonnie H. Bonblue Wed, 08 Jun 2005 00:00:00 GMT Patricia D. I agree with you. I started drinking a green drink every morning. I was listening to Tony Robbins who is a motavational speaker and he was talking about the benefits of green drinks or superfoods. So I went in search of a green drink that does not taste like swamp water. I came across earth's promise which actually tastes like fruit. Earth's Promise has 20 vitamin-rich ingredients - one glass provides the essential nutrients needed to enhance energy, support digestion and boost the immune system. It has all kinds of healthy stuff in it that I would not normally eat. I hope this helps! Nora48 Thu, 04 Aug 2005 00:00:00 GMT Patrica, Had small cell adenocarcnoma lung cancer found early the size about 3cm x 3cm. Right away I went on a raw food diet while I started my research. Found research from the 1931 Nobal peace prize winner Otto Hienrhk Warburg a bit of a strange guy but his work proved that cancer cells exhibt certain reactions to oxygen and PH levels. Cancer cells don't grow in a oxygenated enviroment and they die in a base ph level around 7.0. I got some litmis paper and started testing myself. My PH was down to 5.8 so I investagated how to bring it up found that barly green, alfalfa, cabbage, carrots,etc raises your ph I started to feel better and was able to cope because of the increase in energy. I juiced carrots like crazy and began to wonder why I got this because I stopped smoking 15 years before although I was exposed to asbestos in my younger years there must be something else because I know people that have the same expourse as myself. I then investigeted something call Miracle 2 wow then my health and energy skyrocketed aqnd this is where Dr Warburg comes in because the cells are the key to health. Clorophyll is the blood of plants and it is close to our's except for one molocule taking it is another way to carry oxygen directly to the blood CELLS. In my research I found that every cancer patient has parasites. nasty fungi and critters that also only live in a acidic enviroment they attack the body because of the FOOD we eat. There is alot more I can say that will help but I hate to type so in a nutshel stop all sugar cancer loves it this is what makes cancer light up in a pet scan Dairy MILK is so bad because of the pasterization process raw milk is good if you can get it. meats a small amount of fish is ok so is fowl take wormwood/black walnut tincture, oil of oregano,and cloves to kill all the different stages of parasites. Clean your liver and kidneys get your PH up with green juices and Miracle 2 Keep checking your saliva and urine this will indicate your ph, urine is normally more acidic than salvia. eat fresh food as close to raw as possable 80% raw would be good. certain foods and chemicals cause your liver to not work effienctly causing parasites to flow back into your bloodstream. Aflaxtoxin is a chemical that causes liver malfunction to a certain degree. Its found in peanuts,overipe fruit,beer. black tea has a link to lung cancer.
