Guest guest Posted September 5, 2002 Report Share Posted September 5, 2002 A lot of doctors will warn that Flaxseed Oil will cause Prostate Cancer to grow several times faster than normal. This is the result of the statements by an outstanding standard treatement Prostate Cancer Oncologist. His views are pushed on another list to which I belong and anytime I post they are put forth. I have seen no evidence of that and those reports certainly lack validity in studies as far as I am concerned. Those views are very important because if they are true I have been dead for a fair number of years and if they are not true a lot of men may die for fear of using this material because of those warnings.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2002 Report Share Posted September 5, 2002 Dear Cliff, What is a Lupron shot and PCA? ALso what is FO/CC approach? Have you had surgery or a byopsy at any time during the course of your illness? I have aggressive breast cancer stage 3-B. THey want to do kemo, radiation than surgery to remove all the limp nodes and the right breast. I am so very confused and scared, Hope to hear from you. GOd bless. Sincerely, B. Cliff Beckwith wrote:HI, To those interested I will put in the latest info on my situation. A PSA done on September 3 showed an increase of 1.7 to 14.4. I am continuing with 4 tablespoons of FO/CC per day with 3000 mgs of Beta Glucan and 9000 mgs plus or minus of beet vitamin C. After the last PSA I started a two months supply of Artemisinin. That is about a third through. I am now adding Ellagic acid to see what effect it may have. I am now 80 years and 8 months along after being dxd with Advanced PCa with a PSA of 75 and metastasis to the lymph nodes in January of 1991, or eleven years and 8 months ago. The Gleason was not done then but evidence indicates around a 7-8 at that time. The Oncologist feels that it is likely more aggressive than that by this time but it isn't worth a biopsy to find out. It wouldn't change anything that we are doing. Dr. Borman indicated to me a couple of years ago that it is important to get plenty of rest with this kind of approach. I haven't done that. I have stayed with the bee business and have again this summer attempted to keep it going and the stress of trying to do too much may have taken its toll on the immune system, which seems to be important in fighting cancer. The bee business is being terminated as soon as possible. I may be stubborn, but I am not completely stupid. A statement from a prominent member of the advanced list a couple of years ago stays with me. " I am fighting a battle I know I cannot win. " I don't feel that way. If my count gets to around 20, and it has been there a number of times before, I would perhaps do another monthly Lupron shot. It may not come to that. There is no evidence of metastasis and one does not die of cancer in the Prostate but in an area to which it spreads. The Alternatives seem to be controlling that. I am extremely well aware of the warnings on this list concerning the use of Flaxseed Oil but have seen no evidence of that personally and there have been no studies of men using the FO/CC approach to confirm them. I continue to get reports [some hate " unscientific stories " but with no attempt to do scientific studies that is all there is] of success. Four days ago in a phone conversation with a contact in Montana he casually mentioned that his grandfather had PCa but had cleared it with FO/CC in three months. That was some time ago and had other health problems and had since passed on. With 30 or more strains of PCa, most of which are not aggressive, the less aggressive ones are more easily controlled. I understand by now that the intermittent program espoused by Dr. Lieberman has not been as effective with more aggressive cancers. I am urging no one to do what I have been doing. I only present things as I know them and have experienced them. They are anecdotal. Do with them what you will. We hope to learn more before going on. Of course, eventually that is a hundred percent probability for us all. I am still alive and in no immediate danger. The Oncologist believes that I may have trouble living beyond a hundred. Beyond the weaknesses of being 80 and low on Testosterone I feel quite normal. Cliff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 5, 2002 Report Share Posted September 5, 2002 Cliff..I guess that the doctor you are refering to is Dr. Myers, a PC patient himself. I have asked him several times if he has investigated the use of flax oil W/LOW FAT COTTAGE CHEESE and he never responded...probably because he doesn't know...after all how many doctors will admit they don't know something?. His opinion is based on test results from 6 studies...5 of which linked flax oil with PC... but none of the studies included the cottage cheese.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2002 Report Share Posted September 5, 2002 Hi Cliff : Do you have a personal e-mail address ? I would like to talk to you about the bees. I am an old beekeeper myself, in my 80th year. After 02 I have decided I would hang up my hive tool and put out my smoker. When I first started commercial beekeeping in 1948 I used to hear that beekeepers didn't get cancer. My brother who kept bees too, came up with PC about 8 years ago. He took radiation, and about 5 years later his PSA began to rise again. So now he is on some hormone, and doing well. ( so far ) So far my PSA and digital, is holding well - 1.7 last September. I will get my yearly check in about 3 weeks. Lunch is ready so I have to go. But give me a call on your private e-mail if you have one. There is no problam talking to all the group but I see they shorten messages, if they are too long. Best Wishes eboswell@...

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2002 Report Share Posted September 5, 2002 Can I interject that I asked my oncologist about using flaxseed oil and cc along with Iressa and he said he didn't know if it would have any affect on the Iressa but that since it was a natural food form, to go ahead and use it. I found myself lactose intolerant and had to give it up for awhile and chest pains ensued. I then found and tried lactaid cottage cheese and since taking it, no more chest pains. Imagination??? Maybe. But if it works, who cares? Besides it's delicious when mixed with fresh peaches and a bit of sugar free, chemical free jam. Bev.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2002 Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 Hi all: My ND gave me the homeopathic Pleo Mueck shots on both sides of my neck in the thyroid last Monday, Dec. 9th. I have noticed lowering of my heart rate to around 90 to 100 beats per minute instead of the normal 120-130 beats per minute. I am not as jumpy, irritable, and feel greatly calmed down. Hopefully my labs that I will go in for next Monday, Dec. 23rd will show that my levels are dropping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Dear hurts4real My husband had many contributing factors to his cardiomyopathy including Sleep Apnea. He has been on Bi-Pap for almost 4 years now- Got his ICD 4/04 so he already had his machine x 2 yrs. He had his arrhythmia quite suddenly while we were in New York (live in Indy, IN) he had SVT –286bmp when paramedics arrived & was dx’d w/ SCD in the work-up. & had the ICD implanted. His other contributing factors were poorly controlled hypertension (would love to sue his PCP) , alcohol (a case a week of beer), WPW, an undetected virus never dx’d , & morbid obesity. When he had his sleep study he stopped almost every few seconds—40-50x a minute! & his SATS (oxygen measurement) dropped to 80-85% oxygen—not good. & he was an OTR truck driver at the time he was dx’d!! The doc said since he was dx it probably helped some compensation & therefore it extended the time before we finally came to the need for the ICD. There may be several contributing factors to his arrhythmia. & unfortunately it can take awhile to get meds & ICD adjusted right. Is his just an ICD or will it pace as well? Ed’s AICD paces usually at night when his HR drops to 40’s—about 15% of the time. They don’t know why he drops that low only sometimes & not always. But so far no more kicks since his storm after implantation in the hospital. He has a Guidant-not on the recall list---yet. They reset his settings down to start pacing instead of being hit , & raised the HR limits before it would kick to slow the rate. I think he is 40 for lowest & 170’s for highest but he paces at less than 60. Our issue was that the EP doc could care less about the cardiac issues & questions we had, (especially meds) his usual cardio doc didn’t want him either since he was “heart failure” now. So luckily the practice has a heart failure clinic with an excellent SW & we now have an excellent cardiologist who has helped us work through the fears & issues both together & separately. They also have started a support group that meets quarterly. All the docs & nurses as well as SW attends the group meeting. It has been hard at times for me because I am a nurse practitioner & although cardio isn’t my specialty (hepatology is ) it is/was hard to separate the personal feelings from the professional feelings, & treat Ed as spouse & not a patient—as a pt I can turn off or hide my attachment to him---does that make sense??---But I digress. Things will get better—remember it does save his life & we just have to hang onto that thought everyday. Janet Janet's Custom Candy Wraps & Crafts 317-294-1849 customcandywraps@... website coming soon.................... Latest update Thanks to everyone who has responded to my message. We are dealing day by day with the help of therapy and each other. WE just received a new possible contributor to my husbands early morning arrhythmias. He has been diagnosed with sever sleep apnea. During a sleep study, he actually stopped breathing a few times. The DR. thinks this could be putting strain on his heart (makes sense to us). The cardiologist and the EP, both rolled their eyes and said no way. Does anyone else have sleep apnea out there that may contribute to their heart condition. We are so desperate to find a cause (which we may never know), but every shock storm and pass out episode has always occurred upon wakening in the morning. Needless to say, the AM in our house is very stressful. Our 10 year old has also witnessed every episode because she has been with him for each one. How scary for her when the alarm goes off. None of us wants to get up for fear something will happen. The positive is we all agree. . . if not the ICD, he would not be here with us. BUT still VERY scary. Look forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks for the support! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 I think if Jimmy had known the surgery would have entailed all of this, he would have kept his blockages and taken his chances. Still no word on when he will be discharged. They are about to transfuse him again and they are having a hard time controlling his anemia and arrhythmia. Until that is resolved, I don't suppose he will be coming home. He says he can't sleep because someone is always there fussing over him to get up and walk, physical therapy and inhalation therapy. As the bags of heparin are emptied, the machines start beeping and it takes them about 10 or 15 min. for someone to come and change the bags. He's calling for me, so duty calls and I will go. Just between us, I'm tired of the hospital and the food, too. LOL.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Dear Lotti, I understand how you feel about the hospital. For three months with a 12 year old and a 6 year old I drove 50 miles a day(after dropping them off at school) to be with my first husband while he was in the hospital. I was so tired of the food, the smell, the stupidity of some of the nurses. I felt I had to be there to watch over him and be sure they gave him the right medications. I know he wanted me there. It was very rough. But I am so glad that I did it. Hang in there and God gives you strength. My mom always told me " god only gives you as much as he knows you can handle " But sometimes I think that God has me mixed up with someone else.????? Love to Jimmy and be tough.
