Need Links/Direction for Alternative Treatment (cancer)
Kahoutek | 6/16/05 | Kahoutek

Posted on 06/16/2005 10:03:10 AM PDT by kahoutek

I'd like some help with alternative cancer sources/websites.

In May, the surgeons at Columbia Presbyterian in NY removed a malignant tumor from my neck.

The pathology report redefined the tumor as less dangerous than first thought and it is more treatable. (Neuro-endocrine vs squaomish cell)

Please don't turn this into an opinion post, I just need some direction.

If you have first hand experience with natural/nutritional/homiopathic treatments, I'd like to hear from you e-mail.

I'm not going with slash/burn/poison........

Thanks for the look.

"I'm not going with slash/burn/poison....."

While that's certainly your decision, I've had 3 family members go through the treatments offered by medical science for various cancers (skin and breast cancer) and not a one of them has died from cancer. It's not easy, but it's largely effective. I'll go with the homecare option for a flu, but not with cancer. Good luck to you, whatever you decide.

Agree with you. Most homeopathic stuff does not work for the big C

No experience, but I will offer prayers and encouragement.

Have had cancer twice, thyroid and then kidney.

Do not fool around with it. I study native, indigenous plants and their uses. Lots have been used for folk and prior to that Indian remedies. Some have been developed by the pharmaceutical companies for cancer treatment. But, not over the counter or herbally.

Getting a cancer diagnosis is like having this black oblivion open in front of your feet, mentally. Call the cancer support groups in your area and talk to them.

Do not waste time with alternative treatments. Cancer can spread very fast while you investigate things that won't work.

What will work is working with a nutritionist, working on your mental and spiritual health, getting a support network going.

Prayers for you...if that is ok with you.

You have freepmail. You might consider complimentary medicine (note: "medicine" in this phrase doesn't mean pills or even herbs, just techniques). There are things you can do for yourself to help your body cope with the treatments, and that won't interfere with any meds you're being prescribed.

thanks for the ping C. Kahoutek you should be juicing. If nothing else, you need to get a good juicer. Start juicing green vegetables and lots of it. I recommend organic. Get in touch with a coop market or a farmer's market. Also, go vegetarian right away. Cut out flesh period. Meat eating the last thing you want to do when you're dealing with cancer. Feel free to freepmail me if you want more advice,info, support,etc.

"The Maker's Diet" by Dr. Jordan Rubin would be a great start. Garden of Life has a mushroom blend that is suppose to be the best on the market.

Thanks for your responses.....

After 6 days of chemo/radiation, I realized I couldn't tolerate it.

Since the docs wouldn't agree to knocking me out for 8 weeks, this is the path I've elected to take.

Thanks again for your advice and prayers.
