Guest guest Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 I'm on medicines (Methotrexate and Remicade) and doing pretty well but I still read about other ways of handling RA. Arthritis Insight has links to a lot of information about RA. Here's a link to diet and nutrition that may be of interest to you. http://arthritisinsight.com/living/diet/index.html They also have links to alternative therapy. http://www.arthritisinsight.com/medical/alternative/ A different web site has a lot of information about antibiotic therapy. http://roadback.org/ I hope one or more of these links will be helpful to you.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 , here's the theory (from research) i'm come to believe about cancer--it's a lack of oxygen at a cellular level. by the time anyone is diagnosed with cancer, it's literally million of bad cells affected. i'm more or less a believer in alternative medicine only because i had to figure out how to help myself after my exposure to mold ( & going to doctor after doctor affiliated with the #6 Best Hospital in the U.S. at the time AND also seeing Shoemaker). so here's my $.02 on what i think would address bladder cancer--drinking lots of ozonated water every day. yes, that means using the equipment i mentioned back in June & July and basically ozonating cold water for 15 minutes, then drinking it immediately. not sure the exact protocol for males, but for women, they can insufflate their bladder with a catheter for a couple of minutes. also, has he tried drinking pure cranberry juice? > > Hey gang, I need your help!!
