Guest guest Posted August 8, 2002 Report Share Posted August 8, 2002 Hi gang, A friend in Missouri was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and sent home to die. There was a tumor on the pancreas wrapping around the bile duct, leading to jaundice which is why they starting looking for something (to discover the source of the jaundice). The tumor has spread to the liver, which is fairly extensively involved. Surgery was ruled out because it spread, and he ruled out trying chemotherapy because the liver is involved and he figured the toxic chemicals would sit in his body longer since the liver would have a harder time filtering them out. They told him to " get his affairs in order " and " eat whatever you want " (sounds like they believe there is absolutely no hope). I figure, he's not doing chemo so that's great, and that he should immediately see a naturopath, make a major change in diet and start on various herbal supplements. The gist of what I recommended to him (with the caveat that he involve a naturopath to help establish a plan with him) are: FOOD: -unheated honey, bee pollen, and royal jelly -raw milk, butter, and cream (copiously) -raw and fermented grass fed meat and fish (kibbeh, ceviche, etc.) -strict exclusion of refined carbohydrates and processed foods, artificial colors, preservatives, sugar substitutes, etc. -NT beverages: beet kvass, whey drink, kombucha, raw liver cocktail, cabbage juice tonic, carrot juice cocktail -NT lacto-fermented products, particularly sauerkraut SUPPLEMENTS (compiled from numerous herbals I have; some duplication among the lists, of course): -GENERAL: cod liver oil and high vitamin butter oil (x-factor oil), and coconut oil -IMMUNITY BOOSTING: Echinacea, Ligustrum, Astragalus, Licorice, Bupleurum, Chinese skullcap, Ginseng, Ashwaganda, Chinese Shizandra, Calendula (Marigold), Chamomile, Burdock, Baptista, Red Clover, Marshmallow, Yellow dock, Yucca, Garlic, Shiitake Mushrooms, GLA, Thyme, Lavender, Bergamot, Lemon, Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, Rosemary, Black Pepper, Cardamom, Ginger, Gotu Kola, Kelp, Dandelion, Una de gato (or Cat's claw) -CANCER/TUMOR FIGHTING: Thyme, sweet basil, Turmeric, Garlic, Astragalus, ligustrum, Siberian ginseng, Shiitake mushrooms, Polporus, Pau d'arco, Butterbur, Mistletoe, Celandine (Chelidonium), Podophyllum, Boldocynara, Lycopodium, barberry, Bio-C-Lozenges, Echinacea, Comfrey or Wallwosan (Symphytum officinale), Lactic Acid Preparations, Molkosan, sauerkraut juice, vegetable juices -LIVER STRENGTHENING/DETOXIFYING: Dandelion, burdock, chamomile, licorice, milk thistle, Ginger, garlic, rosemary, grape leaves, Artichokes, Licorice, astagalus, shizandra, bupleurum, Ginger, turmeric, cardamom, ginseng (especially red), ukon, reishi mushrooms, psyllium seed -PANCREAS BOOSTING: Horseradish, Papaya, Bilberry (blueberry) juice, blackcurrant juice, weak herb teas, true buttermilk, Papayasan in conjunction with Kelpasan OTHER: -gentle daily walks and/or yoga -prayer and/or meditation -acupuncture, acupressure, reiki, saunas, and/or massages? -castor oil packs over affected area -strict avoidance of pollutants of all kinds (synthetic fragrances, household toiletries and chemicals, etc.) I listed a number of websites and books for him, too. I was wondering if anyone else has any ideas beyond what I have told him about so far. I was also wondering what people think about how much fat he should eat. NT and other sources are very pro-animal fat, and I am generally (from organic grass-fed, hormone-free, antibiotic-free, vaccine-free, humanely-raised animals), but I wondered if the involvement of the bile duct makes that a problem? If he's having trouble secreting bile to digest the fat, could eating fat cause more problems than it solves? They put a stent in to bypass or help the bile duct so maybe it's okay?

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2002 Report Share Posted August 10, 2002 Hi Jill: Here's a link regarding EMFs and grounding. www.earthtether.com I think it's fascinating how so many aspects of our earth is involved with our health such as the sun, the air, water, and the earth. Hope you're friend is open to natural/alternatives for healing. His attitude is really important. Marla www.geocities.com/marlakins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
