Guest guest Posted November 16, 2000 Report Share Posted November 16, 2000 If the cancer is in remission, this would make perfect sence to boost the immune. The cancer is gone or very little and the good cells out weigh any cancer cells . I have heard of this vacine. The one thing that had me stumped was that doctors will give people something like neupogen to boost the white blood count. This said to me immidiately the to boost the immune would be benificial, until I found out that there are alot of different cells involved in the immune. The white blood cells (t cells) have many different cells, the neupogen is designed to target only one. The nuprocell, this is the cell that fights bateria and virus. Thus it is very closely monitered though blood tests. We cannot do this at home. I don`t mean to dismiss immune boosters, I think they are great but I think people with lymphoma should becareful. Alot of the products I`ve seen, have not been tested for lymphoma, and the doctors don`t even understand alot about it. There are so many variations of lymphoma it is hard to know who should and who shouldn`t and how much. We all want the same thing, to be well. Ultimately the desision is up to the individual. Education is the best weapon. I try not to dismiss anything and do not become offended at peoples attemts to help. I read and try to weigh the pros and cons. I left the ither group that dismisses alternate care because I surely believe that natural is the way to go. But I also belive that even if something is natural and has worked for many people with breast or prostae cancer or any other cancer may not work for me. We are all individuals and all have things that work best for us. This is why I like this group, all people have different ideas and we learn from others. I don`t belive in a vacine either, it is also manipulating the immune system, and worse still it is not natural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The modulatory effect of granulocyte-macrophage-colony stimulating factor. Burgaleta C, Villalba S, N Service of Hematology. Hospital Ramon y Cajal. Madrid, Spain. BACKGROUND: Mononuclear phagocytic function is not well defined in non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients although, defective function of those cells has been reported in patients with Hodgkin disease and other solid tumors. The potential application of granulocyte-macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in the prevention and treatment of infections in those patients is being studied. RESULTS: The phagocytosis and chemotactic activity of monocytes from non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients was lower than results obtained with cells from healthy donors (P < 0.05), and microbiocidal activity against Candida albicanswas similar in both groups. After exposure to GM-CSF, the functional activity of monocytes from control donors was only slightly modified (P > 0.05); by contrast, the percentage of mononuclear phagocytic cells in non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) patients increased from 41 +/- 3% to 53 +/- 3%, microbiocidal activity against Candida from 54 +/- 5% to 66 +/- 6% (P > 0.05) CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study indicate that there is defective phagocytic and chemotactic activity in monocytes from NHL patients at diagnosis.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2000 Report Share Posted November 19, 2000 Hi moon beam, I was also on that list for a time. I think they are too narrow minded. The reason boosting the immune is dangerous, is because this is where the cancer is! Immune boosters target the immune system and increase the strength and reproduction of the cells. There is no control over which cells are being increased.So in actual fact someone with lymphoma could be increasing the strenghth and reprodution of the canceous cells. There are soo many kinds of lymphoma. Non Hodkins lymphona and Hodgkins lymphoma, and in the Non Hodgkins(NHL) group, there are about 15 different kinds. Each one having their own characteristics and staging and aggressiveness. In this group there is T cell (white blood cell or NK cell) and Bcell (red blood cell). Alot of these products (transfer factor) say right in the info that it targets the NK cell (white blood cells) and boost their effect on the body. Thats great if you don`t have cancer of the NK , white ,t Cells. Let me try this>> If a woman has breast cancer, she finds out their is a product that increases the cells in the breast to promote larger breast. If she were to take this product, would it not in fact increase the cells in the toumor ? Another>> if you wanted to destroy an ant colony would you put more ants there? It is a very controversial subject. I`ll bet that you will find the same thing I have in my research of immune booster, most do not study their product on lymphoma. I left the other group, because I believe there is a place for natural products even with lymphoma. Most people with T cell lymphoma are a stage 4 when dx because it is not well understood. This does not leave much time to desided what to do nor does it leave much time for the natural remidies to do their job. But if they can get the cancer in remission and then do for their bodies the right thing naturally their chances of reoccurance should disapate. Lymphoma is the 5 most common cancer and has held the highest death rate because it is not well understood. So the only point I try to make is , The best way to plat it safe is to keep the body in a constant equalibrium until the cancer is in remission then target the immune after the lymphoma patient is sure the cancer is in remission. I know it seems kind of backward to want to kill the immune first then rebuild. But there is limited choice for those of us with lymphoma. I am happy that it worked for your sister and friend. It is possable their lymphoma was a different kind than mine, and maybe not as advanced. I have periheral t cell non hodgkins lymphoma satage 4 with bone marrow involement,serosa on the uteruos possable malt, and rash on the face possable cutaneous. These are three different kinds of lymphoma I have, all are in the T cell family. I hope you understand I am not against these products and would never discourage them if I didn`t truley belive they may be actually harming a lymphoma patient while their cancer was active. I would be estactic to belive otherwise or to have some concreate proof . Studies on lymphoma . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2000 Report Share Posted November 19, 2000 Hello! I am new to the list, and have been reading the posts, and it seems that there is so very much information that is is mind bogling! I have non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, and I hope that this question is okay to ask here... it has been my belief that all people with cancer experience a great amount of weight loss, I have not had much. I have lost approx. 20 lbs. I am still overweight. Has anyone else out there not had a lot of weight loss with this? Always ~ Noel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 19, 2000 Report Share Posted November 19, 2000 Noel, I have lymphoma and I have lost 6 pounds as a result and before dx I lost 10 pounds as a result of the b symptoms. This is not uncommon of lyphoma patients some actually gain weight during chemothearapy treatments due to the prednisone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 19, 2000 Report Share Posted November 19, 2000 Moonbeam, I must say youare a wealth of info and provide very valid points. I do not avoid helping my immune system, I do take immune boosters, just not large doses of these I strongly believe in harmonizing the body. I have checked out the Grearson diet and it proves to have alot of benifits. I have checked out the Vegan diet and it has proven to great results aswell. The oxygen thearapy apears to have benifits and very good therory. This I am trying. I eat mostly raw food and try to stay as close to nature as possable. I believe in faith and keeping a positative attitude, and trying my best to be helpful to others. I do the flax seed oil and cotage cheese, and Before I knew of the cancer I was on Noni nectar and had meraculous results. This is an immune booster but it is more geared to harmonizing the body systemically and assiting the body to do the the job itself rather than manipulating it. I like your response to the ant analogy<g> The number of cells can become an issue for me because, I have found time and time again that cancer is not asleep. It is shown that cancer cells reproduce at a faster rate than healthy cells. They have lost their programing (assumed to be sleeping) but I prefer to use the word lost or confused. As a part of their confusion they do not know when they are supposed to die. So in fact you are very correct when you say we need to help our body recocnize these cells a desroty them. Then rebuild a healthy cell in its place. The problem then only seems to be, can we do this before the cancer consumes us? So the aggressiveness of the cancer comes into play. If we reproduce these cells all at the same rate , The healthy cells for example reproduce at one per sec and the cancer cells reproduce at three per sec then we may be creating the same problem just in larger numbers.( these numbers are not factual) I realy do belive there is great affectivness in immune booster, the concern is the timing. I have had some great news , my ct scan on friday showed all is clear. This is half the battle as my cancer does not mestasize in the lymph nodes but does show traces of cancer cells. The really assuring test will be the bone marrow biopsey. They are going to do this before the holidays so hopfully good news for the holiday and new year. I pray that this year I will be given the best gift of all and remmission will give me the oppurtunity to do it right through diet immune boosters and really appreciating life for what it is and not what I wished it to be. I am not trying to challenge you, I like to get your response and learn from you, and all the others on the list. Also by disscussing these things people new to the list can learn and make desisions on their own what they think is best for them. The more info the better and the many different points of view are welcomed to assist all the different peoples needs. I `ll bet the group you spoke with were very aggressive towards you? I got the same response. That is how I found this group and I am greatful to all the people on the list who are helping eachother and are not ao narrow minded to dissmiss others needs and beliefs. This truly is a group that is supportive and the people on this list give me courage and education support and direction. I am soo apreaciative and wish you all the best in your journey. I am glad to be apart of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a bit surpirsed you are willing to discuss this topic with me as many people are not willing to even discuss this topic. Please dont ever take any thing I write as medical advice but just as food for thought. > The reason boosting the immune is dangerous, is because this is where the > cancer is! OK we agree the cancer is at the lymph. Of course the cancer mat not have originated in the Lymph, but a few stray cancer cells, picked up by the Lymphatic tubes carry the cancer cells to the lymph nodes where, becasue of their large size, they get stuck at a lymph tube junction. There they stay and grow. Thats why metastasis to the lymph is so common. On the other hand the cancer may have begun at the lymph. > Immune boosters target the immune system and increase the strength > and reproduction of the cells. Immune boosters, like beta glucan, effect macrophages, which are not located at the Lymph nodes. It is not accurate to say they increase the strength, rather they turn the macrophage on, activating the macrophage, resulting in production of Lympoma toxic compounds like Interleukin-2 and other compounds which are cytotoxic to all kinds of Lympoma cells. They activate phagocytosis of the macrophage, which gives it the abitlity to surround and digest any kind of Lymphoma cell. T-Cells also can be activated by macrophage activators. I posted an article which shows often people with lymphoma have an inactive or dormant immune system. Which will have no cancer killing abilities. I suggest your immune sytem is completely unaware that your body has lymphoma. It would be unaware because it has not recognized the cancer cells because you take care not to activate your immune system. Published studies show that Immune activation cam cause the body to recognize and then kill, cancer cells that it would otherwise would not recognize or kill. (Vitveka et al) I suggest that in Japan a Beta Glucan (PSK) is used against Lymphoma with success. You probably think if I have more T-cells, I will get more sick. But your T-cells are also alseep, unaware that they themselves have cancer. If you get more T-Cells the cancer will grow more quickly, you suggest. That would be true if the new T- cells were asleep and not cytotoxic to cancer cells, like your old sick ones are. I suggest your T-cells are not fighting your T-Cell cancer, as they are asleep. It is not just a matter of having more immune cells, the immune cells must be told to make anti cancer compounds and immune activators will give them that message. Kobayashi H Matsunaga K Fujii M : Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev (1993 May-Jun) 2(3):271-6 Oral administration of PSK reduced the incidence of tumor and/or prolonged the survival period in the following.... animal cancer models: mouse thymic lymphoma. This agent.... prevented the increase in frequency of anticancer agent-induced sister chromatid exchange,..... suggesting an effect on the initiation or promotion process of carcinogenesis. Also, PSK regulated cytokine production and enhanced the antitumor activity of effector cells such as killer T-cells and natural killer cells, suggesting an effect on the growth process after the development of malignant cells. > There is no control over which cells are being > increased.So in actual fact someone with lymphoma could be increasing the > strenghth and reprodution of the canceous cells. I disagree with this statement, yet completely understand why you would think that. You have not considered the quality of the T-Cells, just the number of T- cells. You seem unaware that your sick T-cells are not even fighting the cancer as they are asleep and so quite vulnerable to cancer. If they were awake they might begin to fight the canecr, helped by all your other immune cells, if they were activated. The strength of any T-cell with cancer will not be increased. Any T-cell with cancer is simply going to live or die, not get stronger. It feeds on sick weak T-cells, who cant recognize the invader, so instead of killing the invader, they become food for the invader. More food equals more cancer you will say. But hey, it has allready spread to your bones, because their was no immune system to stop it. Stopping metastasis is the easiest thing for the immune system as the metastasic cancer cells are really small and easy food for an active hungry macrophage. Would you be willing to have more T-Cells (you have T-cell cancer) if your macrophages were simultaneously activated, so as to able to recognize and kill your sick T-Cells? Would you be willing to have more T-Cells if the new T-cells were able to kill your old sick T-cells? > There are soo many kinds of lymphoma.

Again you seem to asume that the only variability is the number of T-cells, that all T-cells are the same qualitatively. If there was no qualitative difference between an activated T-Cell and an inactive T-Cell then I might agree with you. But the activated T-cells created by immune activation will be quite different from your sick T-cells. These will be T-cells giving out toxic anti-cancer compounds, whereas your T-cells are not giving out any toxic anti-cancer compounds. > If a woman has breast cancer, she finds out their is a > product that increases the cells in the breast to promote larger breast.

You have not responded to my post on the cytotoxic activation by beta glucan of Kupffer cells which were shown to be able to kill Lymphoma cells through nitric oxide production. > Lymphoma is the 5 most common cancer and has held the highest death rate > because it is not well understood. Lymphoma is caused by chemicals. Chemicals put the immune sytem to sleep or deactivate it. Everyone now has these chemicals in their blood. Everyone now has an immune sytem weakened by these chemicals. Dioxin will do as a name to describe these chemicals. Most dioxins enter USA via the wind. Milk and meat are also sources of dioxin. >I know it seems kind of backward to want to kill the immune first > then rebuild. Yes it does seem backward.

He has studied cancer in the U.S. & throughout Europe for 15 yrs. Also I have lots of info on how to reduce the toxic chemicals in your environment (the cause of cancer). It will do no good to rid oneself of cancer if we keep supplying the body with an excess of free radicals which cause the cancer in the first place.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2000 Report Share Posted November 20, 2000 My husband was just diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer adenocarcinoma , unknown primary but Docs are certain it's bronchogenic. It has not spread anywhere else for now. It's quite ironic that he just finished his 7th LA Marathon last March. We took ballroom dancing lessons 2X a week and went out dancing atleast 2-3X a week. We can no longer participate in any of these. Do not mean to make this too long. I just wanted you to know I have read through all the discussion you had with moonbeam.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2000 Report Share Posted November 21, 2000 I would first try to eliminate the causes of the lung cancer if you can pinpoint them in this case. Did he smoke? Did he work or spend a lot of time around asbestos, or other chemical pollutants. Where did your husband do his long training runs for the Marathon? What was it near? Does he work or live near an nuclear power plant? Treatments are many. At the outset I would like to point out that none of these therapies in and of themselves should be relied upon, but they are elements of a comprehensive program. The more natural approach to cancer control will encompass many changes in lifestyle and attitude toward life and overcoming disease. Essiac Tea has a long history of anecdotal reports of success that are very credible. A number of highly regarded holistic doctors including Dr.n Whitaker and Dr. Schachter recommend it as one of the many steps that should be taken to treat a cancer. In 1922 a Canadian nurse Caisse(ESSIAC spelled backwards) met a woman who gave her this old formula which contains four herbs: burdock root, slippery elm, sheep's sorrel and Indian Rhubarb Root. After Caisse's death in 1988 Brusch,MD, who cured his own cancer and had previously been a physician to President F. Kennedy, granted the rights to Caisse's formula to Elaine a long term follower of Caisse. Since the use, thousands of patients have claimed to have been cured by it. I can't find anything in the literature testing it. A good book on this is " Canada's Remarkable Unknown Cancer Remedy " for a copy call 800-446-3063. Essiac Tea can be bought in most health food stores, one of which is manufactured by Flor- Essence, there may be others.It is reasonably priced and is worth a try. Shark Cartilage has been shown in some literature to have anti-cancer properties.Dr. Simone a physician trained in radiology and chemotherapy at the Cleveland Clinic and the National Cancer Institute and now interested in nutritional approaches has evaluated it positively and used it in his patients. Dr. Lane,PhD, originally proposed the therapy in his book Sharks Don't get Cancer. The product is sold in most health food stores. The product I have seen recommended by some doctors is Benefin if you can't find it call Ocean Health Products 800-477-5108/802-463-1343.
