Guest guest Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Laurie: most cancer patients lose weight . I would encourage him to eat as much as possible (of healthy foods) and not to lose more weight (easier said than done). We do have several people who have recovered from cancer. Perhaps they will yet come forward (I've sent some off list e-mails in that hope). In the meantime here are some foods that are particularly anti-cancer: broccoli sprouts, shiitake mushrooms, cranberries, cruciferous vegetables in general. on 4/29/2004 10:53 AM, Mrs. G at mrsg@... wrote: > " Dietary restriction (DR) reduces cancer formation " . > > Hubby has been able to ingest approximately 500-1000 calories per > day since January.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 MJ is not a narcotic! Calling MJ a narcotic is propaganda! Most drugs do not interfere with LDN. Opium based drugs (narcotics) and most MS drugs (ABR)are not compatible with LDN. Original Message: ----------------- From: Reg Kreil regkreil@...

In a nutshell " interferes with how ldn. works " I have used Tylenol tylenol3 all kinds of acetaminophen even the good old M.J. to kill pain and all have still worked, I also know that at no time did the ldn. not work except for not taking my nightly pill it has kept all of my most disabling symptoms of M.S. at bay for over six months now. Now is not MJ a narcotic. The reason I am responding is cause my friend was just diagnosed with breast cancer and I want to know what the options are.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 Naltrexone is a very specific antagonist to opiates. MJ is not opium based. LDN will interfer with all opium based drugs.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Hi, In regards to cancer......... I can't remember the specific study that was done I heard it on radio news, but I heard a study found higher incidences of colon cancer in people that have had their GB's taken out, higher incidences of colon cancer they think it could be related to the bile being constantly dripped into the intestine and not being held in their gall bladders.

Hi, Dee: Yeah, it's true, we have a higher rate of colon cancer with no GBs and also a higher rate of fatty livers. Susie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think for those who have the gallbladder removed, this could counteracted by making sure the diet has enough soothing fiber, like slippery elm or herbal combinations made especially for IBS if symptoms like that exist, and also a good quality Aloe Vera Juice which is a contact healer. The fiber would absorb the excess bile, certain kinds of herbal fiber would soothe the intestinal system, and finally GOOD Aloe Vera Juice is a contact healer. ===== L.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Once someone has contracted cancer, the best thing to do is find the top specialists that medical science has to offer and follow orders. There are no proven diet cures for cancer (or else the world would be cancer free). The following suggestions are not cures; but have (according to studies) " prevention " effects : broccoli sprouts, cruciferous vegtables, the combination of broccoli (and probably other cruciferous veggies) eaten together with tomato sauce, minimal animal fat, sufficient vitamin D, cranberries, to name a few possible preventatives amon the many being studed by researchers. on 6/23/2005 11:04 AM, ilson_il at ilson@... wrote: > Guys, > 3 close family members have cancer.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Hi Larry: Bear in mind that there are some common cancers which lots of people get, but only a relatively small proportion die from. Regular skin cancer, and prostate and breast cancers are examples. I am sure there are others. Since recovery probability from cancer is related to the frame of mind of the patient, morale if you like, if someone has one of the 'low fatality rate' cancers it makes a lot of sense to make sure they know that that is the case. Nothing worse, perhaps, than thinking you have a death sentance when you probably do not have. Rodney. > Guys, > 3 close family members have cancer.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Larry, From personal experience, I concur with that your relatives do *a lot* of research on treatment. And Rodney is correct - cancer is not a death sentence. In fact, Harvard evolutionary theorist Jay Gould survived mesothelioma, a cancer with very poor survival statistics. In his book, " Full House " , he explains how statistics can be very misleading. A good attitude and **lots** of information are both very important weapons in the fight against cancer.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Reports I've seen state he died of a second, unrelated carcinoma of the lung. But I don't know 'bout the validity of this info.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 I found this on the web FWIW. It is impressive that he lived for another 20 years after his diagnosis: http://www.cancerguide.org/median_not_msg.html Many people have written me to ask what became of Jay Gould. Sadly, Dr. Gould died in May of 2002 at the age of 60. Dr. Gould lived for 20 very productive years after his diagnosis, thus exceeding his 8 month median survival by a factor of thirty! Although he did die of cancer, it apparently wasn't mesothelioma, but a second and unrelated cancer. on 6/23/2005 3:01 PM, Dowling at christopher.a.dowling@... wrote: > Reports I've seen state he died of a second, unrelated carcinoma of the > lung.
