Hello Everyone, my name is Azhar and I have Pancreatic Cancer advance stages, I have had most of my Pancreas removed and also my Spleen, as well as 9 months of a 6 cycle very Toxic Chemo regime.
I was told last July almost a year ago that I had weeks left to live and that if I Immediately started more Chemo and Radiation treatments that I might perhaps extend my life to a year.
I refused to do there treatments as I felt that it was there Chemo that allowed my cancer to re-occur and my Tumor to grow back even bigger then the one they removed.
I had started to do my research about half way through my Chemo and learned that Chemo Not only Does NOT cure Cancer but in fact KILLS the patient as it sidelines the Bodies own Natural Immune Defences and system.
So I started to do 2 things
1-Boost my Immune System
2- Kill Cancer cells with proven methods
Morning when I Wake
– Turkey Tail Mushroom extract. 1 dropper
– Reishi Mushroom extract. 1 dropper
– Chaga Mushroom extract. 1 dropper
– 3 TF+ pills
– 2 Moringa pills
– 1 cracker with 1 drop of Cannabis Oil
– Liposomal Vitamin C 4 Teaspoons
– Chinese Meds ( I will be calling you with this info )
I then carry on with my day and eat 3 B17 Kernels throughout the day and drink the juice of Soursop that we make fresh at home
Evening Time after 6
– 3 4Life-TransferFactor+ pills
– 25 drops of Hydrogen Peroxide in Distilled Water ( you have to build
up to this amount, I started with 3 drops and increased by 2 drops every
other day until I reached 25 drops)
– Chinese Meds
During the day I snack on fruits and would take daily naps even for a
little while because when your body is at rest – sleeping is when your
cells and body heal
DO NOT FORGET TO HAVE NO STRESS
I can not Emphasize how Important it is to have No Stress and I know that is easier said then done and here is how I do it, I have Accepted what God has in store for Me, if I am to Die of This Cancer then So Be It as I have No control over what happens to me. However, I do have control over How I deal with what Life throws at me and I choose Not to go Quietly into the Night.
I choose to Fight and make a lot of Noise but Seriously. The best way to deal with While Stress is also Accepting your Fate and be Thankful for what you have as one thing I have learned very early on is that No matter ….How bad you have it…. There is Always someone out there that has it worse off then you so take the time to appreciate your loved ones, your Family and Friends.
I am THE LUCKIEST MAN ALIVE as I have the Most Amazing wife who is my Life and 3 Beautiful children that make me proud and Friends Old and New. That bring me Peace and Joy so in closing do what I do about Stress……I only worry about that which is in my Control. I don’t worry about things I can not Control …. YES it is as Simple as That!!!
A lot of my healing came from napping and while napping I would imagine
Ninja Cells going around my body and zapping and killing the Cancer.
Trust me this actually works, it’s the power of your Brain….
So today almost a year gone I am not only just alive but Thriving !
By November of 2014 I had managed to Stop the Cancer from Spreading and had Stabilized my 2.8 cm Tumor and last March on my last CT scan it showed that my incurable Cancer was still Arrested and not spreading but more importantly that my 2.8 cm Tumor has Shrunk by 50% and is now 1.4 cm.
I have separated my healing into 3 parts
1- Physical
2- Phycological
3- Emotional
Believe it or not your Physical health is the least of your worries and if you are NOT healthy Phycologicaly and Emotionally then you Do not stand a chance with your physical health.
I have now made it my Mission and Goal in Life to help others and I welcome any and all to reach out to me should you have any questions or require any further information.
Walkinanattitudeofforgiveness: “Forgiveness is setting the prisoner free, only to find out that the prisoner was me. ” This brings us back to the issue of forgiving and forgetting. In truth, there are some hurts that you will never be able to forget. What is more important is that we choose to let it go.” Proverbs 17:9 says, “He who covers over an offense promotes love, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends!!
Despite what medical doctors may say, there is a whole host of natural foods, as well as herbs and supplements, that will reduce tumor size, inhibit cancer cell growth, kill cancer cells, and help keep it from coming back. If you all can afford it, I would recommend that you eat or supplement with a variety of foods, green vege juice & herbs, etc.
Aloe Vera Juice is another one of those natural plants that is very difficult to process correctly to maintain its cancer-fighting properties. The FDA shut down one of the top aloe vera manufacturers because they had a 94% cure rate on terminal cancers.
“Michael Arrington was diagnosed with liver cancer. Doctors found 17 tumors on his liver. One was the size of a baseball. Doctors gave the cancer victim 4 to 21 days to live. Six months after Mr. Arrington began taking only Aloe Vera as a supplement, Doctors examining the patient’s X-rays could not find [any] trace of the tumors.”

AsparagusandCancer | IsIta NaturalCure: There are many foods having special properties, nutrients, and undiscovered co–factors that can help the body in the healing process. When it comes to helping the body to recover from cancer, we will discuss some of the best foods to include in the diet. Let’s first focus on Asparagus, as it has been suggested to be extremely powerful, and many reports suggest that simply eating 1 cup of asparagus every day will give enough support to help the body heal from cancer. Asparagus is high in glutathione.
It has been shown in recent studies that Watercress and Broccoli (two cruciferous veggies.) can lower the risks of several types of cancer by increasing the amount of antioxidants in one’s blood. These veggies are now well known for their anticancer benefits. Watercress (A peppery, green veggie.) has been shown to even protect the body’s DNA from damage.
These two veggies seem to be able to lower the risk of cancer in the colon, breasts, and prostate.These two veggies also contain glucosinolates those are phytochemicals that produce isothiocyanates, this is what gives the veggies their anticancer effects.
Compounds found in watercress have even been found to be able to shut down the signal that tumors send to tissue in your body, keeping it from growing.Kill Cancer Stems Within 24 Hours.Adding to the information already known about watercress and broccoli. There have been even more recent studies that have made it clear that when the compounds and enzymes found in these veggies are chewed, it produces phenanthryl isothiocyanate (PEITC) is produced. Larger levels of this can provide even more cancer-preventing benefits.
When you go in for chemotherapy you think you’re getting rid of cancer but in all actuality you are just getting rid of the cancer tumor. The cancer stem cells are still the and are still alive. This is why cancer can come back overtime.Treating cancer stem cells with PEITC has been found to kill almost all of the stem cells left within 24 hours. Therefore, you may want to try consuming more broccoli and watercress. Ensure that your body gets cancer preventing nutrients it needs!
Like many other diseases, there would appear to be many ‘false dawns’ associated with treating CANCER as far as new treatments or new ‘discoveries’ are concerned. However, some of you may be interested in an article which has just appeared in the London Daily Express (and others) on announcing that researchers at Egypt’s Mansoura University have found that the Omega-3 fatty acid found in fish oils can kill cancer cells and shrink tumors – and works particularly well for those on Cisplatin.
The researchers go on to say that ‘docosahexanoic acid (DHA) from the oils shrinks tumors by nearly 80 per cent’ in their findings. They also found that DHA ‘gives some protection against the kidney damage cisplatin can cause by limiting the side effects.Professor Abdalla El-Mowafy from the research team has been quoted as saying: “Getting an anti-cancer effect with no adverse reactions is the key to curing cancer.
Fish oil works on its own in tackling the disease but when we combine it with chemotherapy, it enhances its effects so you can reduce both dose and adverse reactions.”He went on to say: “Omega-3 can be taken in capsules as a supplement. We had 100% survival in animals using chemotherapy and Omega-3 and saw tumor shrinkage of 80%.” http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,34982,0.htm
In a new study, researchers at the UCSD School of Medicine and Moores Cancer Center used a complex computer prediction model to determine that intake of vitamin D3 and calcium would prevent 58,000 new cases of breast cancer and 49,000 new cases of colorectal cancer annually in the US and Canada. The researchers’ model also predicted that 75% of deaths from these cancers could be prevented with adequate intake of vitamin D3 and calcium. Join Dr. Cedric Garland, lead researcher on the study, as he discusses the implications of these findings and the proposed actions http://www.uctv.tv/shows/How-Vitamin-D-Reduces-the-Incidence-of-Cancer-The-DINOMIT-Model-16941
Black Cumin Seed Oil as a Cancer-Fighter
Nigella Sativa has been involved in hundreds of studies regarding health, and particularly cancer treatment and prevention. One of the active ingredients listed above, Thymoquinone, has been found to be particularly effective in reducing the size of existing tumors. In studies on rats and humans, researchers found that Black Cumin Seed Oil:
•Inhibited tumor growth by up to 50%
•Increased the growth of healthy bone marrow cells by 250%…
•Helps to protect the body against damage from chemotherapy and radiation
•Has strong anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties
•Aides in the production of natural interferon
•Can even deactivate or kill certain types of cancer cells
Burdock Root | 1st Blood Purifying Herb: The polyacetylene in burdock root is what is believed to give burdock root its antibacterial and antifungal properties. Herbalists believe that burdock root supports liver and gall bladder function, and the herb is considered an immune system stimulant. http://www.naturallifeenergy.com/herbs-burdock-root/
RedClover | 2nd Blood Purifying Herb: Red clover has long been used as a “blood purifier,” specifically for the potential treatment of cancer. The flower is a mainstay ingredient in traditional herbal formulas, including Essiac Tea, Jason Winters Tea, and the Hoxsey Therapy
Sanicle | 1st Pure Herb for Dissolving Tumors
This is a herb that leadership at Healed People, Heal People has personally taken. As well, I know others who have taken this herb specifically to dissolve or shrink fibroid tumors with great success. It is imperative that a person changes their quality and types of food eaten. There are many regular foods that contribute to the growth and increased size of fibroid tumors and cysts in people. So, what am I saying here? Please, please, let’s deal with the root of the problem, your quality and type of food intake, in addition to this herb.
The American herbal practitioner, Jethro Kloss, in his monumental work, Back To Eden, aptly describes Sanicle in this manner: This is one of the herbs that could be called a cure-all because it possesses powerful cleansing and healing virtues both internally and externally.
Sanicle’s great strength includes its uncanny ability to seek out and find anything, which needs correcting and works on that area first that needs it most. It also deserves distinction as a thinking herb. In other words, if you’ve got it, Sanicle will find it and fix it, whether the tumor is in the reproductive organs, brain, nervous system, lungs, throat, urinary system or elsewhere.
Sanicle is a bulldozer and builder. There may be temporary discomfort when Sanicle contacts an unwanted obstruction, but it is your reassurance that Sanicle has scored a direct hit. Skin disorders, tumors [also brain tumors], and all manner of morbid material are resolved by Sanicle.
Prolapsis of the uterus [fallen uterus], melancholy [due to toxins], thin mother’s milk, morning sickness, diabetes, bee stings, and intermittent fever indicate general categories of its ubiquitous [seemingly everywhere] application.
Dosage | 40 drops two to three times per day. If a brain tumor, also apply to entire scalp, back to neck and temples. Rub one tablespoon into the scalp at night and wear a shower cap. Wash the area in the morning. During day rub Herbal Adjustment [another natural herb that can be ordered] into scalp 3 times per day.
Lapacho | 2nd Pure Herb for Dissolving Tumors
Properties and uses | cancer and cancer preventative
Experienced herbalists consider that both the tabebuia altissima [purple flowered] and tabebuia avellanedae [red flowered] varieties should be mixed together for the best possible effects.
South American medical doctors proclaim nothing short of miracles for quick relief of pain for cancers of all types, as well as, their cure within one month in many cases. Once again, South American Indians made known a tree that they have used for thousands of years to cure their people.
The first was the Cinchona tree bark that yields quinine and cures malaria. Lapacho taken as a boiled tea 3 times per day [one heaping teaspoonful of the bark to make one cup of the tea] is reported to be their method. The extract is possibly many times stronger if made properly. The chemistry of Lapacho is quite well known to the scientific world.
Dr. Frederick Koch, M.D., used substances from the tree bark called quinones during the 1930s in Detroit, MI, with astonishing results to cure even advanced cancer cases before going to South America in order to continue his practice. He especially used a single quinine that he described as oxidizing or burning up the encapsulated pockets of stagnant cancer-causing points. He reports in this way he was able to provide oxygen for the breadth of life to continue for the patient.
Lapacho actually has 16 quinones never before discovered together in nature. The jungle Lapacho tree is completely immune to fungus infections unlike other trees. It should not be thought that the limit Lapacho’s abilities are confined to cancer, according to Alec de Montmorency, expert on exotic folk remedies. He has collected medical information during the last 20 years on the use of Lapacho in various South American countries.
He reports the following problems that medical doctors using Lapacho have solved: anemia, leukemia, cancer of all types, lupus, inflammation of the reproductive organs, Hodgkin’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, colitis, arteriosclerosis, gastric problems, leucorrhoea, cystitis, hemorrhages, prostate inflammation, polyps, psoriasis and eczema.Dosage | South American information indicates 40 to 80 drops of the extract in a cup of water 3 to 4 times per day. 20 drops per day as a preventative.
AstragalusRoot | 3rdPure Herb for Dissolving Tumors: has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine. It is a powerful adaptogenic herb and is said to support immune function. Astragalus has gained popularity recently as research has emerged about the possibility that it can protect DNA and increase longevity. Recent research has shown that Astragalus may protect the telomeres from degradation. http://wellnessmama.com/15726/astragalus-root-benefits/
The other thing you can do is check locally with people who can talk to you specifically about your situation and make recommendations: a certified naturopath or nutritionist, an a herbalist of good repute, and maybe even someone who practices traditional chinese medicine. Just make sure that you are going to someone who is certified and/or has a good reputation in the community.
You might be able to get a referral from your doctor for a naturopath or nutritionist – stress to the doctor that you are not seeking a replacement for current therapy, but rather that you want to do everything possible to optimize mom’s health, and that also includes nutrition. Some local authorities on cancer-fighting foods will give advice for free. Even if you have to pay for a consult, if you can afford it, it is well-worth the cost, especially if it helps avoid foods and supplements that could cause problems.
However, if money is tight thinking outside the box can be intrusive. There may be just a few that she wants to focus on intently, but carefully choosing a selection to round out a regimen will allow her to draw upon a whole arsenal of natural cancer fighters rather than putting all her hopes on one or two things.
Unfortunately insurance doesn’t cover the cost of natural foods, herbs and supplements – that’s why I stress choosing carefully. There are a lot of ways to find good stuff, but there are also a few quacks in the world who just want to make money, so make sure to verify from more than one source that a food or supplement is known to help cancer.
The suggestion about propolis is a good start. You can get propolis from just about any natural foods store or herb shop, or you can buy it online. Also other supplements one might consider is grape seed extract, conjugated linoleic acid and 3-4 ounces of red wine a day – based on a research. Garlic, a good multiple vitamin with minerals, selenium, tart cherry extract, asparagus, BCM-95 curcumin, http://www.chagatea.org/chaga-tea-cancer/Lugol’s iodine, papaya extract, bromelain, vitamin B-17 and wheat grass. I would drink at least 10 – 20 ounces of decaf green tea every day, and drink plenty pure (steam-distilled) water to promote detoxification of cells… along with essiac tea.
TheBody’sResponsetoDetoxification
The Herxheimer reaction, named after dermatologist Karl Herxheimer, is a short-term detoxification reaction that can last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. Herxheimer symptoms can include headaches, joint and muscle pain, body aches, sore throat, general malaise, sweating, chills, nausea and other flu-like symptoms.
During a detox, the immune system will become more effective at identifying and removing invading organisms (bacteria…, pathogen, etc.). Many of these organisms have been hidden in the body for a long time. The immune system will attack the invaders and eliminate the debris. If a large amount of toxins are released during this process, it can increase the symptoms being treated, or create their own symptoms.
The biggest problem with a Herxheimer reaction is that people discontinue the treatment when the symptoms appear. The important thing to note is that during a detox, worsening symptoms do not mean the treatment isn’t working. In fact, worsening symptoms usually indicate just the opposite, the body is starting to heal itself. http://www.kwangwellness.com/Herxheimer-Reaction
The Herxheimer Reaction is a short-term (from days to a few weeks) detoxification reaction in the body. As the body detoxifies, it is not uncommon to experience flu-like symptoms including headache, joint and muscle pain, body aches, sore throat, general malaise, sweating, chills, nausea or other symptoms.
When fighting an illness in the body, whether that be a cold, flu, infection, Sarcoidosis or even cancer, protocols I use and implement such as herbs, broad spectrum antioxidants, fucoidan & other nutraceuticals will all result in a die off of the culprit. This is true even if in traditional or allopathic courses of healing such as chemotherapy, cold and sinus medicines, or prescribed antibiotics and other medications. The resulting die off of the pathogen is what you want. If the method that is used is capable of destroying a malignancy, a parasitic infiltration, or a systemic infection, the body has a need to carry off the toxic debris. Almost everything the body gets rid of is release because it is toxic!
If one does not get rid of the toxins quickly enough for the body, lymph channels can become thick and blocked, sometimes resulting in metastases – the spread of a disease from one organ or part to another non-adjacent organ or part. As I learn more and more about the human body all the puzzle pieces connect and I realize that the health of every cell in the body effects the health of every organ etc etc. It has been quite a journey and renewal process to now knowwe must treat the body as the whole that it is & heal completely.
Symptoms Of Herxheimer Reaction
Another very nasty side effect of not ridding the body of this toxic die off is the Herxheimer effect, reaction or syndrome. The Herxheimer’s effect is your body’s reaction to the over abundance of dead or dying bacteria, fungus, yeast, and viruses as a result of your treatment or protocol. The reaction carries with it a multitude of unpleasant side effects, including fatigue, diarrhea, headaches or migraines, muscle and joint aches, ringing in the ears, mental dullness and disorientation, and flu-like symptoms. This reaction is NOT COUNTERPRODUCTIVE or a COUNTER ACTION of the process. It is your body telling you to flush the toxins more quickly.
Many times, I will tell those who are experiencing rapid die off (especially when using Fucoydon or Eternity) to increase the amount of water intake until they experience relief. Literally, the more you drink the faster the toxins will be leaving the body. Another tip is to bounce on a rebounder 5-10 minutes @ day to keep your lymphatic system pumping and cleansing. The lymph system only moves when you do.
If you have turned a new leaf in life and think you are feeling worse than better – you may be feeling The Herxheimer Reaction – and if so, it is a good thing. Help your body get rid of years of toxins. Remember, we should all be drinking half our body weight in ounces every day! For every glass of soda, coffee, tea, etc you should add another glass of water.
Sea cucumber has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for hundreds of years, but they are relatively obscure in the U.S. This may be soon changing, however, as evidence mounts that sea cucumber extracts can kill cancer cells while stimulating the immune system. Scientists believe the key compound known as frondoside A to be responsible. Frondoside A is a triterpenoid, a diverse organic compounds found in the essential oils and oleoresins of plants.
This latest study, published in PLoS One, confirmed just how powerful frondoside A truly is. Researchers found it to kill 95% of ER+ breast cancer cells, 95% of liver cancer cells, 90% of melanoma cells, and 85 – 88% of 3 different types of lung cancer. “But the benefits of this compound don’t just stop at directly inducing programmed cell death (apoptosis). It also inhibits angiogenesis (the ability of tumors to grow new blood vessels to get their food) and stops cancer metastasizing by impeding cell migration and invasion.
Even more intriguing is the ability of frondoside A is to activate our immune system’s natural killer cells to attack cancer cells. This has been shown for breast cancer in particular but may also apply to all cancers, because it involves the immune system and not cancer cells directly. This may partially explain why frondoside A was so effective at shrinking lung tumors in mice that it rivaled chemo drugs in performance.”
When given to mice with non-small cell lung cancer, frondoside A was found to shrink tumors by 40% in only 10 days. Traditional chemo drugs shrunk the tumors by 47 percent, but the risks of chemo treatment are far greater than any side-effects or risks of sea cucumber. (Namely because there are no known risks associated with sea cucumbers).
Additionally, the amount of frondoside A needed to achieve such results was miniscule— less than a single milligram for an adult weighing 165 pounds. While also sea cucumber extracts aren’t currently offered as a treatment for cancer—at least not in your traditional doctor’s office—you can find dried and powdered sea cucumber in health stores.
Things to Keep in Mind
•As with all supplements, talk to your doctor before starting something new.
•Maitake’s effects are cumulative. You probably won’t notice anything after using it just once or sporadically. Take it every day and be patient. It can take a few weeks to 2 months to notice an effect.
•Unlike reishi, maitake doesn’t seem to have the same anti-inflammatory action. Thus those with autoimmune diseases and women who are pregnant should not take it.
•Take all pills, powders, and teas with some vitamin C. Research shows that vitamin C increases the absorption of polysaccharides (aloe vera juice) in the body. So add an orange or a multivitamin to your maitake routine!
•Try to buy organically grown mushrooms only. They are safer and better for you.
•Purchase from a company that gives as much information as possible about their product. A good company will tell you how the mushroom was grown and the polysaccharide content. The more you learn about what goes in your body the better. However….
•Be aware of companies that make outrageous claims. Statements like “magic pill”, “cancer cure”, and “reverse aging” are simply not true.
I like the maitake capsules from Mountain Rose Herbs, although I’ve learned it’s best to start with smaller doses and work your way up. Starting off with 3 pills or more a day may cause stomach unpleasantness. http://www.mushroom-appreciation.com/maitake-mushroom.html
EliminatingStressBringsPainRelief: Getting a handle on everyday stress can help you better manage the pain you’re experiencing.
It’s easy to get stressed out when the pressures of work, family, and everyday life are weighing on you. These stresses can have not only an emotional impact, they can cause physical pain as well.
Stress and pain are often closely linked. Each one can have an impact on the other, creating a vicious cycle that sets the stage for chronic pain and chronic stress. So, part of getting pain relief is learning how to better manage stress.
“Lots of studies support the conclusion that what happens in the brain — depression, anxiety, being stressed out — can increase pain. At the same time, if you have more pain, you may be more stressed,” says Jennifer Schneider, MD, PhD, a chronic-pain specialist and author of the book Living With Chronic Pain. “Each makes the other worse, so if you decrease pain, you’ll likely also decrease stress and anxiety.”
Pain Relief: Understanding the Stress-Pain Connection
It’s not completely clear yet to researchers how stress and pain are related. However, stressed-out people often experience neck, shoulder, and back pain. This could be due to the link between stress and tension in the muscles. It could also be related to brain chemicals.
To allow us to keep functioning despite pain, the brain tries to maintain balance when it receives pain signals by minimizing these signals, says Steven Stanos, D.O., medical director of the Center for Pain Management at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, and assistant professor in the department of physical medicine and rehabilitation at Northwestern University Medical School. But chronic stress can offset this balance.
“Because pain [is regulated by] the nervous system, the brain is a key player in how we perceive pain,” says Dr. Stanos. “The brain is always trying to inhibit pain signals. But if you’re stressed, simply put, the brain’s ability to filter these pain signals is affected in a bad way and pain can be increased.”
Pain Relief: Start With Stress Relief
One thing is clear: for many people, stress relief, be it avoiding stress or learning how to cope with it, can lead to pain relief.
“Patients need to manage their stress to be in the best psychological state to benefit from other therapies,” says Carmen Green, MD, associate professor of anesthesiology and director of pain medicine research at the University of Michigan Health System in Ann Arbor.
Try these tips:
Get moving. Being active can help decrease stress levels. “Make exercise a priority, whether it’s 30 minutes on an exercise bike or going to the gym four times a week,” says Stanos. Other stress-relieving activities can include walking or pool therapy. Consult with a doctor first if you’re concerned about how exercise may impact your pain.
Get more restful sleep. Proper sleep can also help you cope with stress. “Restorative sleep can help you better face the turmoil of the day. So get enough sleep and better quality sleep,” says Dr. Green. “We know sleep impacts healing.”
Find a balance. Our schedules are often packed, with little down time. Take the time to examine your daily routine and modify it for better stress control. “Identify leisure things you like to do and make them a bigger part of your daily routine,” Green suggests.
Chill out. Relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, yoga, guided imagery, and meditation can essentially force you to relax and decrease stress levels. Once you’ve learned these techniques you can do them on your own at any time throughout your day.
Seek support. Evaluation by a mental health professional, whether it’s a social worker with expertise in pain or a pain psychologist or psychiatrist, can also help you deal with stress and provide pain relief, says Green.
Tricks to control pain
by Amanda Gardner
If you’re in pain, you may be able to harness your thoughts to help fight it. Skeptical? Studies suggest these pain relief tools can work.
“Individuals with rheumatoid arthritis can learn mind-body techniques to assist the body and mind in relaxing,” says Janice M. Singles, Psy.D., of the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health in Madison. “This generally reduces the levels of stress hormones in the body, allowing the immune system to be better able to fight off illness.”
Recurrent pain can definitely affect your quality of life, but learning how to cope with stress can help you manage that pain and lessen its harmful impact. It’s true you can’t meditate your cancer away but meditation can help with curing what ills you?
Herbs and Supplements. Some herbs and supplements may help reduce pain. Yerba mate tea has been found to decrease pain during chemotherapy. Valerian may reduce pain and promote rest and sleep. Feverfew might help prevent migraine headaches. Probiotics included in some brands of yogurt can reduce abdominal pain and bloating.
Herbs can interact with other medicines you may be taking. Talk with your provider or pharmacist before you use herbs and supplements to manage your pain. You want to make sure there are no possible harmful interactions with your regular medicines. http://www.corephysicians.org/news-and-health-library/health-library/pain/pain4438/
Also it is true you can’t meditate away your cancer, however, calmer minds are proven to prevail. When we learn how to play a sport or an instrument; how to dance or sing; or even how to fly a plane, we learn how to breathe and how to sit or stand in a way that supports a state of relaxed presence.
My hunch is that when you’re flying, you’re aware of everything around you, and yet you’re also relaxed. When you’re water-skiing, you’re paying attention, and if you’re too tense, you’ll fall. All of these activities help us cultivate our capacity for relaxed presence. Mind and body in the same place at the same time.
On arrival into Portland (PDX) you soon realize this area is one of a kind even at midnight when the city is a lite. Those houses in the hills and the airport covered with greenery and the scent of Roses. It’s the Rosa Parks Highway that catches my eye and I know good fate has a raised.
However, it’s also Rosa’s thought that maybe cannabis disrupts the parasympathetic system and fight or flight that promotes repair and recovery within the immune system that makes cannabis a time bomb for cancer to die. With THC being over rated maybe she should consider a higher CBD oil for her healing mission.
It’s the parasympathetic nervous system originating in the brain stem and lower part of the spinal cord; opposing the physiological effects of the sympathetic nervous system: which stimulates digestive secretions; slows the heart; constricts the pupils; dilates blood vessels. It’s the parasympathetic nervous system also takes care of the body when at rest. The body responds to this with a chemical reaction — designed also to enable physical activity, and that activity is precisely what is required to hit the reset button. Which activates the parasympathetic nervous system and flushing the waste products of stress. Slowing the flight or fight response and activating the recover and repair mechanism of the immune system…
As I came to Portland to bridge a gap ~ see how Rosa is doing and get her settle into this setting. Marijuana advocates every where believe this often maligned plant can enhance life. While delivering people from sickness and pain I know it has helped Rosa. Even in todays world scientist don’t understand what is in the plant that makes it work.
But what is known is this: pot dulls pain, aids sleep, stimulates appetite while buffering life’s thumps and shocks. Compounds in this plant helps the body regulates vital function, protects the brain against trauma. Which will boost the immune system while helping the brain reduce memory extinction after castastrophic events. As the weed oil will kick those thoughts out of you head rather quickly like a truth serum!!!
If cannabis has something to tells us is this. IT IS in 1963, an organic chemist in Israel named Raphael Mechoulam working at the Weizman Institute of Science outside Tel Aviv peer into the plants chemical composition and found tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) another key ingredient in marijuana. For these even breakthroughs Mechoulam is widely known today for this break through which today is still vastly misunderstood.
Manual Guzman of the Computence Universite of Madrid in Spain studied cancer for 20 years. In his studies Guzman found by giving rats cannabis tumors were eradicated in a third of the rats and reduced in another third. In His studies also found the cannabinoid anandamide that’s produced by our bodies. Protects our brains from insults with both physical and emotional trauma.
Our brains needs to remember experience, however, for our own well being it needs to forget things — horrific things, unnecessary things. Forgive and forget is the old axiom. For all of Guzman’s work he does not think smoking pot offers up the same medical quality as partaking or vaporizing the oil.
On day two — it’s an intriguing event unfolds with green and blue capsules and a sensitivity to them aggravates the tumor and promotes tumor growth. It sure pays to know how to listen to your body and is something nobody else can tell you… so listen up and do as your body will tell you to do.
As Tania along time friend arrives at the airport I am beginning to learn a new as green “vege” juicing was one lesson that I am grateful that I came forward to learn. It’s Memorial Day: with flags blowing gently in the wind. No need for a pacific cup of liquid sunshine and what a great coffee it is. We take the I-5 South to Eugene to check on a new supply.
This evening Tania talks about a fabulous movie she seen Decoding Annie Parker and the BRCA Gene. This got me thinking is cancer truly genetics or nutritional or whatever it maybe. The next morning sitting at the airport with a clear blue sky and the sun shining. I think how wonderful a place like Portland could be for true healing when fate is indeed achieved. If you find the right strainsand dispensary that can help?
My Good Friend Rosa Parkin is a mother, Cannabis Oil Crusader and an expert in alkaline state and alternative healing. Rosa is in a battle to fight her fatally aggressive Sarcoma cancer. The size of her tumour has shrunk from 8 cm to 2 cm, but also regrows anytime; the battle is constant, however, she remains strong and in this treatment diary. Rosa lists all the healing supplements having maximised her cannabinoid receptors and the diet she uses.
Rosa’s Protocol – Healing from Stage 4 Uterine Leiomyosarcoma
This document is to share my experience about what is working for me in healing myself from Uterine Cancer, using Cannabis Oil along with a clean alkaline diet, well researched supplements & last but by NO MEANS LEAST emotional clearing work. Hope this helps some of you on your healing journeys.
I had a hysterectomy for “ Fibroids” in 2013, I found out 2 months later that it was cancer. It had soon spread to my lungs and after various surgeries and traditional treatment I have finally got hold of a good quality 1:1 cannabis oil, and it has stopped me limping in 2 days, after 4 days I felt the tumour shut down. Phew. It’s a work in progress. Here’s what else I’m doing:
First thing, a huge glass of lemon water & 2 of these babies: Betaglucans, a super potent immune booster. (x 2 on an empty stomach).
Essiac Tea. From an ancient native Amercian recipe. Tried and tested this one’s been around for a long time. Replaces lost minerals which most cancer patients are deficient in. I drink 1 – 3 cups, sipped, on an empty stomach.
These are the stars of the show!
Liposomal “Can- Help” from Healthy Items, contains: Liposomal Vit C liposomal Curcumin, Resvertarol, Q 10 and B vits. 1 – 3 tsp per day.
Green Tea EGCG. 2 caps 30 mins before dosing with Cannabis Oil to clear CB receptors (which can get blocked so that the cannabinoids cant “sit” on the receptors and do their funky thing.)
Bravo Probiotic is very expensive, but helps the body make its own GCMAF which is what the macrophages use to fight cancer cells. 1 jar per day. As a cheaper alternative “Chuckling Goat” do a good kefir ( type of probiotic ).
I’m thinking of adding powdered colostrum to it as that’s whats in the Bravo. Colostrum is in our mothers milk and is what originally nourished our immune systems as babies.
Bio-care Bio Acidophillus Forte. 2 per day
IMMUNE SUPPORT
3 grams a day of Liposomal Vit C. It’s meant to be even more effective than IV Vit C. Anti – inflammatory and Anti-Cancer. I take as much as 10g a day if I’m having a flare up. This works very well for me in conjunction with a good quality 1:1 Cannabis Oil. If i had to choose 1 supplement (alongside the Cannabis Oil ) It would be this.
Biocare or Nutri Vit D3. 10 drops per day. I forgot this recently and really noticed the difference and Biocare liquid Zinc 10 drops. My body loves Zinc.
ALKALISERS
Raw Reserve Berry Flavour
Finally a green powder with all the key grasses and algaes that doesn’t taste like pond water. Update: Its got MACA in so no good for hormone sensitive cancers, like mine, so stopped this one and am taking their neat wheatgrass powder. Great for travelling. Although I travel with a juicer. 1 Tablespoon per day.
Sodium Bicarbonate. 1 Tablespoon per day. The most effective alkaliser in my opinion. Between meals. Not for prolonged periods apparently.
DIM – natural oestrogen – Inhibitor x 2 per day. Without the side effects.
Melatonin – studies show that it stops metastasis, we like that. It balances the pituitary gland. I have had no new metastasis since I’ve been taking this. 20 mg before bed.
ENZYMES
Serraenzyme from Silk worms, helps break down the fibrin coating the tumour so the cannabis oil can get in. Bring it on! x 3 250 000IU Per day
Credence Megazyme Forte Proteolytic Enzymes. x 3 per day
MINERALS – INNATE RESPONSE OR CYTOPLAN SELENIUM
400 Mcg per day Selenium is responsible for over 300 cellular activities and its not really in the soil much any more. This is also No1 for Cancer prevention. Get it in you and everyone you love.
Magnesium x 2 250 mg per day. Plus 30 sprays of magnesium OIL on the skin. so relaxing. Mag is key for so many processes in the body and is depleted by stress. GTF Chromium x 2 per day, plus FLORA Silica x 2 per day and Biocare B Vit complex x 1 per day.
Chlorella x 5 tablets a day. Detoxifying, balancing and draws out heavy metals, what’s not to like?
NB At the beginning of my healing journey I did a lot more intensive detoxing, juice fasts, coffee enemas – still do ) Infra red saunas, and supplements like Pectasol. Now I’m clean as a whistle . Perk of having cancer = no cellulite.
14 Mushroom Blend – Immune Support. I use this in cooking, tastes great and its RAW. Raw food contain many times more enzymes than cooked food. And we like enzymes, they help everything to work really well.
Juicing Organic vegetables (not much fruit) detoxes the body and floods it with nutrients. The lack of fibre means the body doesn’t have to work at all to get the nutrients. Our bodies love this.
I drink 1 pint ( 24 oz approx ) a day. But earlier in my journey I was on 2 or 3 pints of veg juice a day. Drink as much as you can, and don’t pre-prepare it or the enzymes die. If you can get a masticating juicer it’s better. If that’s stopping you then just use a centrifugal one.
Just get it in you, lots of it!
It can be hard to get green juice to taste nice. This one does! Add beetroot for the above & fresh tumeric when you can along with LOTS of ginger, these two are massive anti-inflammatories and much more.
Pretty much all veg is good to juice. Try parsley and other herbs too, cleavers from the garden are meant to be amazing for the Lymph (which is responsible for detoxing) and they are super fresh now and free! Broccoli & Kale, cucumber and courgettes are also good and quite juicy/creamy.
COFFEE ENEMAS
Yep that’s right. These are hugely important to DETOXIFY the body. Its not about clearing the colon (although that’s a helpful by-product).
The coffee taken rectally makes the Liver Detox into the bowel so that a huge amount of Toxins are released from the liver. I did 4 rounds of chemo, so this was really important to detox my body. I waited 3 days after each chemo and then did a daily CE. This really helped damage limitation, and the CBD and THC protected my cells against the ravages of the cytotoxins (Chemo).
I stopped chemo after 4 rounds as I felt it was dong more harm than good. But that’s me. Everyone needs to do what feels right for them.
I do a coffee enema EVERY DAY. It’s pretty relaxing as it goes, and not at all as bad as it sounds.
How to:
– Boil 2 pints of water and add 3 – 4 tablespoons of organic coffee. Leave to
simmer for 15 mins and allow to cool to body temperature (finger test).
– Pour the coffee into the enema bucket which you will need to suspend from
a hook. i do it this way.
– Run a bath and get in, pop the enema tube up your backside, let approx pint
of liquid flow in, or until you feel full. Relax and retain the coffee for 15 mins
if you can. You may need to build up to this. When you cant hold it anymore,
go to the loo and say ciao bella to all those toxins!
If you cant hold it very long at all it could be for the following reasons:
– Coffee too hot
– Too much liquid
– Enema bucket too high.
So now your backside is nice and clean and your ready to dose with the star of the show: Cannabis oil – this stuff REALLY kills cancer.
I feel lucky to be part of a new cure for cancer. 10 years ago the picture was very different….
I use the famous Backdoor Method(which i’ll explain in the next instalment), along with diet & the aforementioned emotional clearing techniques, which are really key.
It’s My belief is it really right to put n’ expiration date on somebody’s life. I believe one is better off …. not knowing…. and going on with life believing they have options. An Ohio Girl Dying Of Cancer Plays First College Home Basketball Game. While being diagnosed early autumn after suffering from vertigo and dizziness while playing for her high school team. Lauren Hill, a Mount St. Joseph’s College student with a rare form of brain cancer, played her first home basketball game on Saturday December 13 2014.
Expecting to die is never a bright spot in anybody’s life. Forever, Hill gained national attention in early November when she played a Division III basketball game at Xavier University for Mt St. Joseph and Hiriam College. However, In early December, The Hill family indicated they had signed up for hospice care at their home. Hill has a brain tumor the size of a lemon, and it is growing daily. Is this mindset really what one should take or is the Alternative a different outlook on life. Lauren gained her wings 4/10/2015.
Another example of knowing and expecting your dying was on October 30, 2002, after Warren Zevon’s terminal mesothelioma diagnosis. He was then featured on The Late Show with David Letterman as the only guest for the entire hour. The band played “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead” as his introduction. Zevon performed several songs and spoke at length about his illness. Zevon was a frequent guest and occasional substitute bandleader on Letterman’s television shows since Late Night first aired in 1982. He noted, “I may have made a tactical error in not going to a physician for 20 years”.
It was during this broadcast Zevon first offered his oft-quoted insight on facing death: “Enjoy every sandwich.” He also took time to thank David Letterman for his years of support, calling him “the best friend my music’s ever had”. For his final song of the evening, and final public performance, Zevon performed “Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner” at Letterman’s request. In the green room after the show, Zevon presented Letterman with the guitar that he always used on the show, with a single request: “Here, I want you to have this, take good care of it”.
Another huge fan of Warren Zevons was Dr. Lee Lipsenthal a profound explorer of self help while helping people heal from their fear of death and embrace the true joy of living the extraordinary journey life has to offer. As Medical Director of the famed Preventive Medical Institute that helped thousands with disease overcome their fears of pain and death.
The power of his own beliefs was tested in July 2009, when Lee himself was diagnosed with esophageal cancer. As Dr. Lipsenthal and also his wife Kathy navigated his disease and treatment. Lee discovered he did not fear death but felt fully alive within his own living mortality. Often, terminally ill patients reach a surprising, transforming conclusion — that you have to be ready to die to embrace being alive. “To deny your chance of dying is to deny life.” With courage, candor and his own conviction. It was after this stunning diagnosis of an often fatal cancer.
Dr. Lipsenthal embarked on a journey of bravery and self discovery to guide his way through the greatest of uncertainties. It was also in his book “Enjoy Every Sandwich.” He allowed us into his darkest days and the brighter ones as well. To read his book is to step through a door that opens only one way into a larger life.

For Ed & Beate Moore there undying loving for one another kept them together for 34 years was diagnosed with stage four primary liver cancer in March 2012. The doctor told us there was not much to be done since the tumor was 7 inches covering his lower lobe and had spread to his lymph nodes.
Therefore, we thought the only options left was to go home and call hospice which gave us morphine for pain. Ed hated the morphine which made him vomit and also affected his mind. After one week at home we decided to do what we have done for many years, rely on ourselves.
In the area we live: you are allowed to grow our own cannabis and we started making Phoenix Tears. Soon after Ed was off the morphine in only one week after taking 1 gram of oil per day. Thereby, Later adding juicing fresh buds and leaves mixed with veggies. Within a couple of weeks his pain and swollen stomach disappeared and with it came hope and a good quality of life.
We never saw an ocologist and only have done a blood test after the first diagnose CT scan. His tumor marker went from over 6000 to normal and he is feeling well. We don’t know how this is going to play out, but enjoy every day and give thanks. Today he is up to two grams of phoenix tears now and does not feel stoned. Not everyone could tolerate such a high dose of THC, but it works well for him.
Here’s what Ed is doing:
-Phoenix Tears Cannabis Oil, 4 times daily, ½ gram each dose (http://phoenixtears.ca)
–Infrared Sauna, once a day (twice if time), hot tub
-Vit. C 50 to 95 grams intravenously (we did that for 3 month, stopped now)
-Mineral mixture to boost energy (intravenously) once every other week
-Psolinum 7x (3 times a day) holds tumors, homeopathic but need perscription
Waking up
1. Glass of warm water with lemon juice
2. 3 Beta-1, 3-D Glucan (taken on empty stomach) http://aboutbetaglucan.com/
3. Epsom Salt bath (2cups) for eliminating toxins
4. Elijah tea (2 oz) in morning and before going to bed (we did that for 2 month and
are about to start again.)
Fresh juices: carrot, green apple, green veggies, turmeric root, ginger, as often as
possible. We are also juicing 2 handfulls of fresh cannabis leaves and buds, once or twice
daily
No sugar, and light on carbs Probiotics with every meal,
Meals are light, mostly veggies, some protein, all organic and not processed.
Ed also does castor oil packs and charcoal packs alternating for several hours at night.
He feels these have reduced and than eliminated swollen stomach. These are great for
getting the toxins out of his system.
His energy has been great and he is even doing some physical work again. Everyone in our community is watching him and we have been contacted by several cancer patients. Unfortunately most patients even stage 4 ones first try the conventional methods, so by the time they get to alternative protocols their bodies are so depleted that it is hard to turn it around.
I have no idea how this is going to play out, but we sure have had quality time and no pain or discomfort.
I am glad to e-mail anyone interested our regimen and would love to connect with other cancer patients who are trying this.
PS. Hospice just cancelled us, which is the first time they left a liver cancer patient go.

In those 403 days from the time my father heard the cancer had to run it’s course until his passing on 4/03/2006. Reflecting back onto it today it was an incredible time hardly seemingly like 9 + years ago. It was hard times filled with severe depression and a time. I thought for the first time in my life I would never ever see daylight again.
I made the 1 hour 45 minute drive there for a solution to the misery…. my misery at the time being severe depression. Little did I know the next morning things would turn worse with a priest being called into the house for the Anointing of the Sick. However, with morning turning into afternoon. I felt it in my heart I had to GO to Centerville and sitting there on a stool in the middle of a 1/2 price book store a Chinaman approach in my aisle.
March 4th turned out to be a highlight for me during this whole ordeal and changed my outlook on life forever. That afternoon, Mant from Kettering Ohio explained a lot of my own perplexity of living going through my head at the time. This stranger whom just happen into my life through chance ….being in the same place in time what’s the chance of that happening.
He explained a lot in a very short time being he was a cancer survivor himself from China. When he relocated to the United States it was like culture shock to him how we treat cancer here stateside. He stated, “in Western Society when chemotherapy and radiation fails people just give up and die.” He also stated, “it’s primitive, and a little barbaric to administer chemo without any form of supplementation.”
That was an outsiders first impression how it works here all for the sake of the almighty dollar. In Eastern Culture they have many many things that can make it work he stated. If one thing doesn’t work you try something else…. something else beats trying nothing but what you were trying you also know it doesn’t work.
Within Eastern Philosophy: you start out in increments small dosage for the individual. While maxing out when you see it not working anymore then dropping back to what was working. Everything in correct dosage equaling maximum strength is how he put it. It’s that one statement today that still resonates in my head today ” correct dosage equaling maximum strength.”
That purpose of connecting wasn’t immediately recognized or realized back then. What Mant explained to me was his Mega Pill Theory, which was hard for him to put to words because of it’s complexity to understand. I wouldn’t want to try to change anything either for fear of the back fire effect.
The back fire effect being that when you try to change the way things are to what you think they should be. Human nature tries to prove you wrong in a condescending way and everything reverts back to the wrong way anyway. The more thing s change tne more they stay the same mindset kinda thing…. know what I mean?
What we talked about that day was how all the organs work in unison and how medicine can throw that action off. We talked about how the heart supports the kidneys and if the kidney doesn’t do it’s thing you have fluid retention. Mant stated, “it’s important and vital to take Hawthorne Berry to help protect the heart and cranberries to flush the kidneys to protect both.
With a little Milk Thistle thrown in to keep the liver functioning at 100%. Because cancer begins and ends in the liver…. and it has to do it’s job and that’s to get toxins out of your system. In his message: we also talked about the importance of Beet Root for iron and keeping your energy levels.
Also stated, it’s important to keep your blood purified and it was his opinion many herbs do this. But Red Clover extract does it better then most. Burdock Root is also good but he thought the best way to get burdock root was visiting a Chinese Store and preparing it like you would carrots. With carrots also being important because beta carotene is good for cancer patients as well.
Mant went on to explain his very important vitals for a strong immune system being from beta glucans medicinal mushrooms, vitamin C and selenium. With selenium being one of the answers I was looking for…. because our all about the money medical system in the United States always stated that my father was deficient in selenium but thought it no big deal while pushing drugs instead.
In some ways the Chinese view money the same way. Cordyceps Mushrooms are called caterpillar mushroom. This is because Cordyceps actually invades the body of the native Himalayan caterpillar and consumes it entirely. By June, the caterpillar is transformed into a mushroom. Even in July, conditions up in the mountains are harsh. It can still be freezing, the UV-radiation exposure is significant. When you are picking up mushrooms at 3 miles above sea level, you have to be accustomed to very thin air to barely survive.
But the income potential is huge. Wild cordyceps sell for as much as $1,500 per pound. Have ever wondered how and where wild Cordyceps Sinensis medicinal mushrooms are harvested, watch this video. You will see how farmers and villagers from 9,000 ft. above the sea level migrate to 13,000 ft. levels in the mountains of Bhutan to find and pick wild Cordyceps. Finding Cordyceps for the local people is similar to founding gold or oil in your own backyard!
Mant thought magnesium was another mineral cancer patients should have checked because most are constipated and medicine depletes the body of this key mineral. Also B12 injections should be considered for energy levels when you’re taking medicine. Also along with constant monitoring of vitamin D levels… because when you’re sick you stay in doors more. When your body is insufficient of vitamin D you tend to have more pain. As his last word for me was to checkout the book “The Calcium Connection.”
In the end there was a reason why, this Chinaman whom came into my life Temporarily through Power of Prayer. And I thought that true reason in hindsight was in all our years of helping one another. Towards my fathers end being…. I could no longer help him and through that helpless feeling gave me depression.
What Mant taught me was the purpose of life and there has to be an ending to it. That the human body wears out through all those years of living it up. Therefore, we best prepares ourselves for old age by taking better care of ourselves. Also knowing for ourselves what is best for ourselves. It’s through this awareness that may prevent open heart surgery or cancer in the long run and gives us a better life in the end!!!

“Dear Cancer, it’s taken me a lot longer than I would have liked but finally I’ve got rid of you. It’s been a bit of a roller coaster ride and at one point I thought you’d beaten me but winners never quit and I’ve whipped your arse. Goodbye, good riddance and don’t come back.”
Hi you all, just wanted to share with you my good news. In July 2013, I was diagnosed with stage 4a cervical cancer. I followed the conventional treatment route because I didn’t really know I had any other choice. To be fair it served me well but never fully gave me the all clear. It culminated in October 2014, when they told me …. it had come back in para-aortic lymph nodes with increased activity in the cervix and they could only further offer palliative care.
I sought other opinions, became a member of the Solitarius Facebook group and with the help of your articles, posts and other peoples stories & comments. Putting into place certain protocols and changes in my diet completely which became a commitment. Thereby, January scan showed no presence in the lymph nodes and reduced focus in the cervix, Then in April scan was totally normal. With the only thing I have done different is diet and supplementation. Without those changes I’m sure my story would have been different.
So for everybody who is interested this is what I did:
Feeling this natural protocol helped with those conventional treatments. I eliminated any form of processed food or meats and anything having sugar in it which included fruit juices. Restricted fruit intake to the morning and ate a minimal amount of high sugar fruits such as pineapple, grapes etc. every morning drink water with 2 teaspoons of organic lemon juice and half teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda, supplement with AloeVera juice, vitamin D (I had a test to show I was deficient as all Cancer patients tend to be.)
While also taking 1000mg vitamin C, turmeric, zinc, pine bark tablets and omega 3 tablets. I tried to eat apricot kernels disguised in nuts so they were less disgusting. Drank mainly green tea. Tried to eat as little red meat as possible and minimised white carbs (as they are basically just sugar). Where possible eating organic vegetables (again avoiding too many root vegetables as high in sugar, with the only exception being carrots as pros out weigh cons there) and whole grains.
I didn’t cut out dairy completely but cut back. I had a probiotic to help digest all these changes and initially used milk thistle as a liver cleanse. I also cut out alcohol and drank more water which was filtered. I took a nutritional course so I could understand what the changes I was making were doing. I think good nutrition was the key and eating organic. As I wasn’t too fussed about organic meat as in UK antibiotic use is strictly regulated and hormones are banned.
According to the National Cancer Institute, there are an estimated two hundred and fifteen cancers in the world. Liz Szabo, a reporter from USA Today, recorded a total of 18.2 million patients whom have been diagnosed with cancer. Since cancerous patient rates continue to increase, new studies have been tested in order to discover treatment for cancer. Two treatments are responsible for being most effective in cancer research are chemotherapy and stem cells.
The two more recent treatments have provided researchers with a greater understanding of cancer (including the sources) and effective ways to prevent illness. Even though both treatments are effective, they are very complex and controversial. Cancer is life altering and people are diagnosed for some type of the disease every day. Since those numbers of cancerous patients are increasing, the number of people who get treatment increase.
“Today, about one in every twenty-six Americans have had cancer,” reported Szabo. Cancer has become more prevalent in due to unhealthy lifestyles people have. “Cancer is a class of diseases in which a group of cells display uncontrollable growth, invasion of adjacent tissues, and sometimes metastasis (spreading to other locations in the body)” (Carson-DeWitt). This graph shows the projected increase for patients ever diagnosed with cancer from the year 2005 to 2020. Cancer has increased over the years due to causes such as genetics, smoking, radiation, viruses, alcohol, poor diet, and lack of physical activity. Some researchers are worried there won’t be enough doctors for the number of incoming cancer patients. Cancer has taken the lives of many patients starting at 114,186 deaths in 1930 to 556,902 in 2003. Due to prevention, early detection, and improved treatment, survivor rates having increased with the rate of population in that time frame. Cancer has affected men and women differently because of different bodily reactions. Because of this, women tend to have a higher death rate then men.
According to MedicineNet.com, “Breast cancer is the leading cancer for women in the U.S. Lung cancer is the second most common form of cancer. Prostate cancer is the leading cancer for men in the U.S. It is followed by lung cancer.” The most common cancer between men and women is lung cancer: “The American Cancer Society’s most recent lung cancer statistics in the United States for 2009 include an estimated 166,900 men and 103,350 women will be diagnosed with lung cancer” (Cancer 101). This is a total of 220,250 people with lung cancer. The previously mentioned treatments (chemotherapy and stem cells) have helped to treat lung cancer in numerous ways.
Chemotherapy drugs are given intravenously or in conjunction with radiation therapy or surgery. Chemotherapy may cause patients to vomit, become nauseated, lose hair, and get mouth sores. Irwin H. Krakoff, an M.D. at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer center discusses the effects on cells: Unfortunately, though many substances have been found to interfere with the growth of cells, the use in chemotherapy has been limited by the fact…. that such substances…. attack both normal and malignant tissue. But certain chemicals, when used cautiously, are able to impair the growth of neoplastic cells without irreparable damage to normal cells.
According to an article weighing the risks and benefits of chemotherapy, the benefits of chemotherapy are; “it can reduce the number of cancer cells that spread to other parts of the body, reducing the likelihood that cancer will return and potentially prolonging life. It can also be used before surgery to shrink larger tumors, making less invasive surgery possible” (Bonadonna). An anonymous patient tells about the effect chemotherapy has had on their his with lung cancer:
The chemo has messed with my nervous system and parts of my body feel numb and other parts burn for no reason. I have 2 or 3 more scheduled chemo treatments, but I’ve been told that my lung cancer is treatable, but not curable and I honestly don’t know if I can spend the rest of my life feeling so miserable. Chemotherapy is like having the flu for 90 percent of your waking hours. It is like the worst flu imaginable. My brother sent me an article stating, The word chemotherapy is linked to healing although its origins derive from the deadly mustard gas used in World War II. Today it is used as a powerful tool as part of cancer treatment”. It’s no wonder we get so sick. It’s a poison. But the choice is ours. Living a life of being sick 75 to 90 percent of the time, or not living at all.
About 75 percent of cancer patients use chemotherapy despite the difficult side effects. In an article discussing the costs of chemotherapy, Kate Savage, a chemotherapy expert, states, “the cost of chemotherapy depends on the types of drugs and duration of treatment; it also depends on how often the treatment is given and where you are taking it.” By the end of treatment, chemotherapy could cost 30,000 dollars or more. With the costs of the treatment being so high, some patients often struggle financially to pay off medical bills. Although, chemotherapy has negative side effects and can be expensive, it continues to be a common way to treat patients. A newer treatment still getting tested is the use of stem cells on cancerous patients.
Stem cells have the capability of developing into many different cell types in the body during growth. They can renew themselves through cell division and become a part of organs or tissues with specific functions. John Dick first discovered stem cells in certain types of leukemia in 1997. According to an article written by Nicholas Wade in the New York Times: “at the heart of every tumor, some researchers believe, like a handful of aberrant stem cells that maintain the malignant tissue. The article explains further, “biologists are not yet sure how cancer stem cells are generated.”
Stem cells are used in bone marrow transplantation and blood stem cell transplants in order to repair stem cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy. Recent research suggests that stem cells can refurbish dead tissue. Stem cells are primarily found in embryonic cells. Scientists are experimenting the full extent of stem cells and so far, have been successful with their results. Stem cells are indeed beneficial and with more discoveries made in the future they could be the new treatment towards cancer.
Stem cells are being studied in order to figure out if scientists can transport them to a damaged area and direct them to grow to new tissue. Since this is a controversial issue, research is moving slowly. People want to know more about the use of stem cells and what they one day could be capable of, but those questions cannot be answered before many experiments have been preformed on stem cells. Hospital staff has become more aware of what stem cells are capable of and the release of new technology is constantly competed for since they want to treat their own patients to the fullest extent of possibly getting rid of the cancer.
Although stem cells have been proven to be helpful, they also have caused a worldwide controversy. Thomas F. Lee from St. Anselm College explained the debate regarding the ethics of destroying human embryos for research. The Department of Health and Human Services banned funding for research projects in fear that they would be killing human embryos. In 2006, Congress passed legislation for funding on all new cells. Majority of people are beginning to think that the benefits of using stem cells outweigh the negatives in the research.
Cancer has become the second-most killer disease today, killing about seven to eight million people every year in the world. It refers to a class of diseases characterized by out-of-control cell growth. There are over 100 different types of cancer, and each is classified by the type of cell that is initially affected. The disease harms the body when damaged cells divide uncontrollably to form lumps or masses of tissue called tumors (except in the case of leukemia where cancer prohibits normal blood function by this abnormal cell division in the blood stream).
In other words, cancer is the result of cells that uncontrollably grow and do not die. They differ from normal cells in the body which follow an orderly path of growth, division, and death. Cancer also begins to form when the process of programmed cell death called apoptosis breaks down. Unlike regular cells, cancer cells do not experience programmatic death and instead continue to grow and divide, leading to a mass of abnormal cells that grows out of control.
More dangerous or malignant tumours form when two things occur: one, a cancerous cell manages to move throughout the body using the blood or lymph systems, destroying healthy tissue in a process called invasion, and second, that cell manages to divide and grow, making new blood vessels to feed itself in a process called angiogenesis. When a tumour successfully spreads to other parts of the body and grows, invading the and also destroying other healthy tissues, it is said to have metastasized a serious condition that is very difficult to treat.
Tumors can grow and interfere with the digestive, nervous or circulatory systems and they can release hormones that alter body function. Tumours that stay in one spot and demonstrate limited growth are generally considered to be benign. Cells can also experience uncontrolled growth if there are damages or mutations to DNA, therefore, damage to the genes involved in cell division. Four key types of gene are responsible for the cell division process: oncogenes tell cells when to divide, tumour suppressor genes tell cells when not to divide, suicide genes control apoptosis and tell the cell to kill itself if something goes wrong, and DNA-repair genes instruct a cell to repair damaged DNA.
Cancer can also be the result of a genetic predisposition that is inherited from family members. It is possible to be born with certain genetic mutations or a fault in a gene that makes one statistically more likely to develop cancer later in life. Age is an important risk factor for cancer as the number of possible cancer-causing mutations in our DNA increases with age. As we age our bodies can’t absorb vitamins and minerals and we lose capacity to develop ATP which supplies our organs with energy.
Cancer occurs when a cell’s gene mutations make the cell unable to correct DNA damage and unable to commit suicide. Similarly, cancer is a result of mutations that inhibit oncogene and tumour suppressor gene function, leading to uncontrollable cell growth. When cancer spreads, or metastasizes, additional symptoms can also present themselves in the newly affected area depending on the location where it has spread. If cancer spreads to the brain, patients may experience vertigo, headaches, or seizures. Spreading to the lungs may cause coughing and shortness of breath. Additionally, the liver may become enlarged and cause jaundice and bones can become painful, brittle, and break easily.
As cancer cells use the body’s energy and interfere with normal hormone function, it is possible to present symptoms such as fever, fatigue, excessive sweating, anemia, and unexplained weight loss. Since all these symptoms are common in several other maladies as well, it becomes difficult to detect the disease in the very first diagnosis.
Cancer is classified into 5 broad groups. Carcinomas are characterized by cells that cover internal and external parts of the body such as lung, breast, and colon cancer. Sarcomas are characterized by cells that are located in bone, cartilage, fat, connective tissue, muscle, and other supportive tissues. Lymphomas are cancers that begin in the lymph nodes and immune system tissues. Leukaemia is cancer that begins in the bone marrow and often accumulates in the bloodstream. Adenomas are cancers that arises in the thyroid, the pituitary gland, the adrenal gland, and other glandular tissues.
Today, the field of oncology is exploring new and diverse ways to fight cancer, from antibodies to vaccines to cracking the genetic code. All of these biological elements affect how cancer starts and how doctors can treat it. But according to a review published today in Science, the bacteria living in and around our bodies may hold keys to more effective cancer treatment in the near future.
Human bodies host a staggering number of bacteria, living inside and outside our bodies in the intestines or on the skin. In recent years, these communities of bacteria, called microbiomes, have gotten much more attention, linked to many aspects of health.
The microbiome has also been shown to play a role in cancer. Many bacteria have evolved to change the DNA of other cells as a defense mechanism, which can lead to cancer’s onset or its treatment. Some types of bacteria have been shown to cause cancer under certain conditions.
The parts of the body…. where bacteria are most populous….. are particularly hardy, effective at protecting the bacteria from penetrating the boundary into more sensitive parts of the body where they could cause harm. However, if there’s a breach of normal protections and some of these particular kinds of bacteria get through, they can be carcinogenic.
Bacteria can affect cancer in 33 ways: by changing how much human cells reproduce, by affecting the immune system, and by influencing cell metabolism. When in a new environment, bacteria can turn off our cells’ immune responses, or also turn them on unnecessarily, creating inflammation and autoimmune conditions that break down tissues.
Diets heavy in fiberor fat might change how intestinal bacteria metabolize energy, creating an acid as a byproduct…. that can make colon cancer more likely to happen, though studies so far have come to conflicting conclusions. The tools are getting better. Tumor cells can be genetically sequenced to see if bacteria have affected them and, if so, the role that bacteria play in the microbiome.
Oncologists can now engineer bacteria to kickstart the immune system to help combat certain kinds of cancer or other cancer-causing bacteria, or to turn off the genes causing the cells to grow out of control in the first place. Treatments that can act as heat-seeking missiles, treating only the cancer and not poisoning the entire body, can work better with boosts from the local microbiome.
Now that they understand some of the basic ways in which bacteria can play a role in cancer, researchers still have a lot of questions. They want to know other ways that bacteria might affect cancer, if they can make different types of treatments more or less effective, if single microbes can make a difference or if they need to be in a particular configuration.
A Weakened Immune System Leads To Cancer… A Strong Immune System Seeks Out And Destroys Cancer Cells.
For most of your life, your immune system successfully fought cancerous cells, killing them as they developed. That’s its job. In fact, the only job Natural Killer cells have is to kill cancer cells and viruses. For cancer to develop, your immune system must either be worn out, ineffective, unabl…e to kill cancer cells as fast as they normally develop, or you must be exposed to a mass of cancer causing toxins, radiation or some such thing, that increase the rate of development of cancer cells to an abnormally high level that your immune system can’t handle.
Either way, it’s vital to strengthen the immune system in your battle against cancer . Especially if you are getting medical treatments that wipe out your immune system.
That’s why we must feed our body what it needs, not the unhealthy junk food and chemicals that are in our fake foods. People will spend $300 on a leather jacket but buy crappy processed food, that are loaded with who knows what that you can’t even pronounce, because it’s cheaper than organic. They spend more on their exterior body than their inner body? Doesn’t make any sense!
Some people say good nutritious organic food is too expensive but what about disease? How expensive is that considering Hospital bills, doctor visits, worthless damaging pharmaceutical drugs, time wasted, feeling like shit? When you change your perspective, considering everything & look at food as healing, preventive medicine, in that aspect it’s very inexpensive. Thanks Angel Howerton & Cancer Cures From Heaven🙂
IF YOUR BUTYRATE IS LOW YOUR CANCER RISK IS HIGH and THE BEST KNOWN WAY TO OBTAIN BUTYRATE IS THROUGH DIET. There are two main ways…. to get butyrate and other short-chain fatty acids. The first is to eat fiber and let your intestinal bacteria do the rest. Whole plant foods such as sweet potatoes, properly prepared whole grains, beans, vegetables, fruit and nuts are good sources of fiber. The second know way is Hmm, I wonder where the name BUTYR-ate came from? Butter perhaps? Butter is 3-4 percent butyrate, the richest known source.
Changing the mindset of the people is an individual responsibility. Some people may not understand this video and find it in negative manner. But its like “teaching a child to walk while in crawling stage.” This is in of my own opinion the humanity speech.. 🙁
