Anyone > know of any adaptogenic herbs that aren't stimulating to the immune > system? Just curious. In Chinese herbal medicine Astragalus is known as a powerful immune system tonic. It's been used for over 2000 years to strengthen the whole body. It's believed to strengthen muscle, improve metabolic function and to strengthen the " upright Chi " - which supports our posture and the position of the organs. Astragalus has also been found to be a tonic to bone marrow. Great supertonic herb!! Whole Life Essentials.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 Hi Persian, No, this is all that was said in the email about my question. Mom has another appointment next month for IV with a calcium regeneration chemical. They call it chemo but it really isn't. We are going to get a blood marker test from another doctor, which is hard to do even if you pay for it, or so the oncologist's nurse told me over the phone. But we have to know if the direction we are going is right. I told the nurse (who seems more like a God most times, then human the next time), that when you deal with suffering and misery like she does, you have to let it go, to be able to deal with it, I'm sure. But I reminded her that every patient is a human with a loving family and I would do whatever it took to help my Mother live and this didn't include sitting by and hoping for the best. After all, we are customers and they are making a lot of money off this illness. I suppose breast cancer spread to the bones, is thought to be a matter of time before it invades a major organ. Thank you, Baugh *********************** > > On Tue, May 18, 2004 at 05:44:15 -0500, oldglory@... wrote: >> >> I wrote to my Mother's (BTW, I know it isn't 'proper' to capitalize the word >> Mother but I decided she deserved it if anyone did), oncologist and received >> this reply to my question, Is bone cancer fatal if not in a major organ? >> >> Reply: " JEAN, YOUR MOTHER HAS BREAST CANCER THAT HAS GONE TO THE BONE.
