Guest guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 heres more info for the smoker out there,best to quit thou for so many obvious reasons. Pomegranate Inhibits Lung and Prostate Cancer Pomegranate may have chemopreventive effects against lung and prostate carcinomas, according to abstracts of two studies presented at the 97th Annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) in April. As the leading cancer killer in men and women, lung cancer affects an estimated 350,000 Americans and causes more deaths than the next three most common cancers combined (colon, breast and prostate). While the 5-year survival rate for colon, breast, and prostate cancer patients is 63%, 88%, and 99%, respectively, it is only 15% for lung cancer patients. Following up on research showing pomegranates to have " remarkable anti-tumor promoting effects " in mouse skin and prostate cancer, researchers treated human lung cancer cells for three days. Although pomegranate extract did not induce cancer cell death, it prevented further cancer cell division by stopping activity of a number of proteins that are active during cancer.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 >Hi Harold, my name is and I have had hep-c for 29 years now. I have tried Pegases and everything else but nothing worked. I had a transplant in 2002 and still sick sometimes but also my hep-c has come back strong. The only way I recieved disability was when my husband wrote every body from the president down. I had tried 2 times before the regular way but no luck. None of my doctors would help. I was lucky to work at a place where the manager was a wonderful man. anyway , the vice president was helpful in getting my disability. I got my hep-c by getting a transfusion when I had my youngest son. I also tried to work after my transplant but could not do it. I have to say this also. I had great insurance from my husbands job but we still had to pay 113,000 for my transplant. They had told us that we were going to be charged double so we could pay for someone else to have a transplant. His insurance put up a global fund of a million dollars and we still had to pay 113,000 . In turn we filed bankrupcy. We had payed much more than what our insurance told us that we would have to pay 3000 a year. I'm sorry that I got off the subject, but I am still very angry about it. You will have to find a doctor to write a letter for you. If you tell them that you did drugs with dirty needles you might get on that way also. That is another story also.I do know that you must have a wonderful wife to have stayed with you, most spouses do not stay with their husband or wife. Stay in there. > Hi my name is Harold Fertig and I had this for atleast 20 plus years and must got it either when I was 12 when my rupature appendix or when I was 18 compound fracture.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Pomegranate... Cancer fighter Could a glass a day keep prostate cancer away? Researchers at University of California-Los Angeles tested the theory that pomegranate juice could keep prostate cancer from returning. Forty-six men who had been treated for prostate cancer drank 8 ounces of pomegranate juice daily. The scientists measured the men’s blood levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a marker of prostate health and prostate cancer. The faster these levels double, the sooner a man is likely to see his prostate cancer return. The men’s overall PSA doubling time was nearly four times slower after they began drinking the juice. Research is continuing. The fruit also shows promise in " shielding against other cancers too " . Laboratory studies have shown that various components of the pomegranate suppress the growth of human breast cancer cells. Studies with mice suggest that pomegranates could reduce the spread of lung cancer.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 hi harold glad to hear from ya...well sounds like you and me are both lucky for family support,without that i think this all would be so much worst! hey do you know if a person can re'infect themselves,like if you already have hep and someone else exposes theirs to you,can that happen by your own self? would it make your viral load higher or something,just wondering if you can turn around and re infect ourselves...and make it worst.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Hey, My name is Lloyd ONeil and I live in Hagerstown Md. I am 58 yrs old and was diagnosed with hep c back in '96 but have had it from '69-'70. Most of my old friends from those days have had it or does have it also which you can guess what category of people we were. I have watched over the yrs a lot of people go through the interfuron programs with a lot of success but all had not so good results with the long term taking of the medication (mentel physical, & phychological). I had a bioptsy 6 yrs ago and went on the medication and had such a bad time of it the doctors took me right off of it and it took me a good six months to start smiling again. I am new to this group and am wondering if anyone else out there has had the same results with the interfuron? I am now a church going very sober man these days and would like some feedback. Thanks and God Bless, Lloyd ________________________________ From: deborah brown <heaven_scent_in_55@...> Hepatitis C Cc: deborah kay mand <heaven_scent_in_55@...> Sent: Tuesday, June 23, 2009 12:16:31 PM Subject: Re: It's unbelievable hi harold glad to hear from ya...well sounds like you and me are both lucky for family support,without that i think this all would be so much worst! hey do you know if a person can re'infect themselves,like if you already have hep and someone else exposes theirs to you,can that happen by your own self? would it make your viral load higher or something,just wondering if you can turn around and re infect ourselves... and make it worst.
