Lymphoma

[Guest guest]

I am not good at describing things in writing, and someone else on

this list should be able to help out here. You don't place the zapper

ON the plate, you hook it up to the plate. It is fairly well explained

in the final edition of the Syncrometer Science manual.

I feel that detoxing is something everyone should do 24 hours a day, just enough

of a " push " to not be ill with it. I do this with supplements, diet,

homeopathy, body work, exercise, etc. Then on top of it do regular cleanses

every 4-6 months. This is how I see people heal and not backslide. It is a

lifestyle choice I guess and maybe not an easy one, but the reward should be

your health and maybe even your life. t was mine :-)

We have had stories about severely enlarged lymph nodes and lymphoma

scares here previously, , but I can't think of anyone, in the end,

who actually had lymphoma in the recent past. I do know that we had one

member who had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma years and years ago prior to her

RA diagnosis.

Good luck on your biopsy! When is it?

I'd be a nervous wreck, too. I'm very sorry that you are so worried.

It is a well-documented phenomenon that some RA patients develop

lymphoma while on MTX therapy. It is uncertain whether the RA

inflammatory process itself is the biggest risk factor associated with

the emergence of the lymphoma, or it is the MTX therapy alone, or it is

a combination of the two factors. Interestingly, the lymphoma is also

known to sometimes remit, without chemotherapy, after the withdrawal of

MTX.

" Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma: Inflammatory activity, but not MTX or

prednisone use predicts non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in RA: a 25-year study of

1,767 RA patients " :

http://www.arthritis-research.org/hodgkins.htm

" Lymphoma in RA Patients Treated With Methotrexate " :

http://www.veritasmedicine.com/archives.cfm?did=28 & mode=2 & item_id=2046

From eMJA, " Remission of lymphoma after drug withdrawal in rheumatoid

arthritis " :

http://www.mja.com.au/public/issues/177_09_041102/lim10170_fm.html

Although it is really too early to say with much certainty, there are

also questions about whether Enbrel (etanercept) and Remicade

(infliximab) therapy can increase the risk for lymphoma in RA patients:

" Etanercept and Infliximab May Be Associated with Development of

Lymphoma " :

http://www.cancerpage.com/cancernews/cancernews5326.htm

It was wise of your physician to advise you to stop both the MTX and

Enbrel.

When are you supposed to hear about your biopsy results?

There are many alternatives, and all depend on your willingness to confront

the disease and act on what you know is right. Lifestyle, diet, exercise,

and exposure to toxins and other stress are what cause cancer. They are

also what can cure it. I have given much information on my website at

http://www.cures for cancer.com. You can find a lot of good data at

http://cancure.org. Study those and ACT on the information.

Also, I am sending this message to a group of people who might be able to

Hi Everyone,

Have been on this list forever but don't often post. I have just been

diagnosed with B-Cell Malignant Lymphoma. Have been ill all my life and

have tried ever remedy out for the last 30 years and had just found out

that most of my symptoms looked like Sarcoidosis, am on the Sarcoidosis

list and correspond with Dr, Marshall So just as I was going to start the

Marshall Protocol I felt a thickening right below my chin and was at the

ENT's for my monthly sinus infection and asked him about it and he ordered

a cat scan and it showed a round one inch in diameter tumor that he removed

immediately and the diagnosis was lymphoma. Told the surgeon that I wanted

the specimen to be tested for Sarcoidosis but he didn't do it. Have an

appointment with an Oncologist this Thursday and hope to get him to order a

new look at the specimen to look for Sarcoidosis. The diagnosis is

probably correct but I still think there is a shadow of doubt. So wish me

well in getting them to take another look at the specimen.

I am trying to take low dose naltrexone which I remember n first

posting about years ago but because of my constant migraine head and almost

ever drug or med. seems to cause my brain to swell and it's awful. Have

worked up to 2 mg and have severe tinniitis from it. Also have Meniere's

and middle ear illness and most drugs are autotoxic for people with ear

problems. Also am on the LDN list where they talk a lot about dosing. There

is an alternate treatment Dr. here that says the LDN is the best thing that

there is against cancer. Also have been taking Graviola and Artemisinin.and

of course diet is a big thing, I was on Dr. 's cancer regime 30 years

ago because I didn't think any one could feel as bad as I did without

having a terminal illness. Have IBS so badly cannot eat raw food and

such, in fact it so bad that I am in almost constant Pseudo-Obstruction

after taking 3 prescriptions plus Primal Defense and Earth Dragon. Have all

kinds of upper and lower GI studies and they show nothing abnormal.

Know there are many other natural cancer treatment that I have read about

over the years but this is a so called blood cancer. Two other Drs. have

said that I need to be on Chemo but I have been dragging my feet waiting

for my D tests to come in and if 1,25-D comes in high will really try for

them to look at the specimen again. Having a hard time with my family Dr.

here he thinks that if there is anything to be known that he knows it. So

if the tests comes in high hope he will give me a Sarcoidosis diagnosis but

who knows.

Any words of wisdom from anyone?

Thanks, H.

Hi ,

I'm sorry to read that you have received such a difficult diagnosis

and that you have been ill for so long. Is it possible to

get a 2nd opinion from another doctor on the diagnosis?

I have a friend who is full of energy and works every day. She was

diagnosed with lymphoma 10 years ago. She has kept it in remission

by eating a raw and living foods diet, drinking wheat grass juice from

wheat grass grown in her kitchen, & doing colonics weekly. I'm sorry to

read that a raw foods diet bothered you in the past, maybe you could

vary it somehow. In one of the previous posts there was an excellent

article linked about the importance of all of the EFA's as cancer

fighters and also helping to stop IBS, which you mentioned as the

problem during the raw foods diet.

I have trouble with raw lettuses, so have started using very low heat

to warm vegetables like broccoli, carrots, spinach, cauliflower, etc,

just so they are soft. The water doesn't get hot enough to damage the

enzymes. Also, I added eating an avocadoe daily and refrigerated Raw

Almond Butter and Ezekiel bread. Plus, I'm eating the Flax oil/cottage

cheese/ground flaxseeds mix. Those are my first steps toward a living

foods, cancer fighting diet.

You're probably familiar with the " " and

" flaxseedoil2. " There is cancer in my family (my dad and his mom) plus

my sister just had her kidney removed due to a cancerous tumor. So,

I'm starting some of these cancer-fighting protocols in my diet.

I think that all of us with immune problems need to be eating and

living in the healthiest way possible to fight any further

developments in our illnesses. Some sites talk about sugar feeding

cancer cells. And

others say that cancer can't live in an alkaline environment in

the body, so promote 80% alkaline forming foods in the diet. You're

probably familiar with all of this.

I don't know if I've offered anything that's helpful to you, but I

wish you the best. Keep us posted.

,

Were I in your place, I'd definitely go to the two sites

listed and paste the post you put here. Also, do a search

using " lymphoma " and see what has already been posted.

I went through 4-month oncology testing time several years ago after

metastatic bone and liver lesions were diagnosed. I had been on Dr.

Budwig's formula for 3 years (was very ill & wasting at the that

time when I started the formula). When the x-rays showed these

problems 3 years later I looked like the picture of health. It

turned out that I was recuperating from this terrible ordeal and not

just getting ill.

Diet IS so important. A young father (Ron)who was my neighbor was

diagnosed with lymphoma several years ago. While he was in the

hospital, I sent him a copy of Dr. Quillin's book, " Beating

Cancer with Nutrition " (available from Cancer Centers of America, if

you can't find it anywhere else -- there is an 800 number). Several

weeks passed by and Ron and his wife and baby were walking and

stopped to say how angry he was at his physicians. After reading

the book, he said everything they had him doing was contraindicated,

even the sweet awful foods they brought him in the hospital. He

said he immediately started doing everything Dr. Quillin had

recommended in the book and in no time, he was feeling better. He

said he had already begun to feel like mowing his grass. He was a

band director in two places, so I rarely saw him; but every time we

ran into each other, he would literally pick me up and thank me for

sending the information. He is still doing well, and this is at

least 6 years later.

There is a Dr. Ralph Moss who has a cancer consulting firm. He is

absolutely (in my opinion) the best at cutting through the hype of

what mainstream is directing us to do. If it is not a good idea, he

will tell you that. Do a search for Ralph Moss, PhD or Cancer

Decisions, and call the 800 number for more information. I used his

service and was very pleased. He had already reviewed all my

tests/biopsy reports, etc. while still undergoing tests. He made

suggestions for getting to the root faster. No source could be

found, and he ended up telling me I owed him nothing. If I have a

recurrence, based on much reading about him and his work, I will

certainly contact him as one of my first moves.

, also consider you have a severe " infestation " of toxins,

parasites, fungi, etc., etc., etc. As long as you have been ill,

the immune system has probably allowed tons of things to move in and

take over. Probably your blood is very coagulated and these things

thrive. Ideally a really good complementary medicine physician

experienced with cancer might be a good choice for you.

Have you read Dr. Hulda 's " A Cure for All Cancers " ? Even

Ewald in his book several years ago, " Plague Time, " said that he

felt all chronic illness has as its cause organisms -- he wrote this

has already been proven in some forms of cancer, diabetes, and many

others.

I don't know where you are located, but if you post on the

CancerCured and the other site Sandy posted, there are many very

intelligent, outstanding patients who have beaten these things, and

may be able to direct you to a really good healthcare professional.

Dr. Moss certainly could do this, I feel sure.

Good luck to you and God bless! There IS an answer and a good one!

You just have to have confidence and look very hard for it. I

believe you will recognize it when you find it.

Meanwhile, it's a bit pricey, but I'd think about starting drinking

a morning and night warm tea made with sence liquid by Flora.

It is excellent for all cancer, and it works by what it is able to

do to and for the liver. At my health store, if I buy three, I get

a 10% discount on all purchases. You might look into this.

Also, NOW brand has a product similar to Dr. 's " ia " -- an

excellent parasite, yeast, etc. cleansing extract with green hull

black walnut/wormwood/clove oil. The drops used in 4 ounces of

organic apple juice diluted with pure water, it tastes like a

treat. I hope you have a trusted healthcare

professional who can help you with things you can do on your own.

My experience has been that the things I have done during times like

these were FAR SUPERIOR to what mainstream medicine was indicating --

and not only " did no harm " , they actually turned things around.

A nutritional medicine physician in my state writes that ~50% of people with

lymphoma have celiac disease.

If you have celiac disease you will probably have at leat a few of the

following:

Abdominal pain

Persistent fatigue

Diarrhea or loose stools

Compulsive, ritualistic behavior

Irritability, depression or panic disorder

Difficulty putting on weight

Anemia

Nausea and vomiting

Crave grain or dairy products

Joint pain

Dermatitis, psoriasis or brown pigmentation of face

Short stature and/or small head circumference for age/ethnicity

Prematurely gray hair (< 40 years old)

· Presence or family history of: Malabsorption, Colorectal or bowel cancer,

Lymphoma, Stomach cancer, Pancreatic cancer, Pale skin plus ginger hair.

Regards, Blake Graham

[Guest guest]

Blake,

Thanks for the information about the relationship to celiac. That

makes sense. Also, a medical-related program I heard on the radio

a couple of years ago explained why we were having Mad Cow Disease

and other type diseases. He said that cows naturally eat grass and

hay. But, because of the profit motives, cows are put in feed lots

and are fed grains continually to build up their weight, and bring a

larger price. This creates the perfect breeding environment for

many bad organisms.

He said that if they would even quit feeding them grains a certain

period of time before they are slaughtered, the bad bacteria

accumulated in their digestive system would largely clear out and

become less of a problem.

Celiac causes a constant source of gut inflammation and other

problems in people. Our local support group is for people with all

types of chronic illness, and we have learned that grains can not

only be problematic for celiacs but for people with other chronic

illnesses as well. Getting grains out of the diet is worth a trial

for all ill people.

Hi ,

From: <HelenW8262@...>

Thanks so much for sharing your amazing story.

I regret that I know nothing about Rituximal, Bone Marrow, or Spleen

glandulars. My understanding is that Liver, thymus, oxygen, coffee

enemas, barley grass, naltrexone, and (USUALLY) ascorbic acid are very

helpful in most cases. New Zealand makes the best glandulars. Gerson

therapy and particularly Kelley's enzymes tend to be particularly

helpful for lymphomas.

I'd be inclined to add IV vit. C (preferably beet-derived from

BioImmune.com practitioner), HOXSEY FORMULA, FSO/CC, ASPARAGUS & beet

juices, a viral cleanse, and the things Gammill mentioned.

I wish I had a magic answer.

Lymphoma

Signs and Symptoms

Who's Most At Risk?

What to Expect at Your Provider's Office

Treatment Options

Lymphomas are cancers that develop in the lymphatic system -- the tissues and organs that produce, store, and carry white blood cells. The lymphatic system includes the bone marrow, spleen, thymus, lymph nodes, and a network of thin tubes that carry lymph and white blood cells into all the tissues of the body. Types of lymphoma include non-Hodgkin's, Hodgkin's, and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.

In non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, the most common form of the disease, cells in the lymphatic system become abnormal. They divide and grow without any order or control, or old cells that should die, don't. Non-Hodgkin's can begin or spread to almost any part of the body.

In Hodgkin's disease, cells in the lymphatic system also become abnormal, but the cancer tends to spread in a fairly orderly way from one group of lymph nodes to the next. Eventually, it can spread almost anywhere.

In cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, T-lymphocytes (infection-fighting white blood cells) become cancerous, causing skin problems.

Signs and Symptoms

Lymphoma is accompanied by the following signs and symptoms, by type:

Non-Hodgkin's and Hodgkin's:

Painless swelling in lymph nodes in neck, underarm, or groin Unexplained fever Drenching night sweats Tiredness Unexplained weight loss Itchy skin

Cutaneous T-Cell:

Itchiness Dark patches on skin Tumors on skin (mycosis fungoides) Skin infections

Who's Most At Risk?

People with the following conditions or characteristics are at risk for developing lymphoma, by type:

Non-Hodgkin's:

Congenital immunodeficiency Infections: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), Helicobacter pylori, Kaposi's sarcoma herpes virus (HIV-related lymphoma), human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 Immunosuppressive therapy following organ transplant Autoimmune diseases Prior chemotherapy or radiation exposure or therapy Exposure to certain chemicals or solvents

Hodgkin's:

Viruses: EBV, mononucleosis, HIV Tonsillectomy Genetic predisposition Caucasians more likely than African-Americans Men more likely than women Same-sex siblings: 10 times greater risk

Cutaneous T-Cell:

Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 Exposure to certain chemicals or solvents

What to Expect at Your Provider's Office

If you are experiencing symptoms of lymphoma, you should see your health care provider. Your health care provider will carefully check for swelling or lumps in the neck, underarms, and groin. If the lymph nodes don't feel normal, a biopsy will be performed. The doctor will remove a small piece of the lymph node -- or, in the case of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, a growth from the skin -- and a pathologist will examine the tissue under a microscope to check for cancer cells.

If you have cancer, your doctor will do more tests to find out if the cancer has spread to other parts of the body (staging). This may involve blood and bone marrow tests, CT scans, and, possibly, a laparotomy, in which the doctor cuts into the abdomen and checks the organs for cancer.

Treatment Options

Treatment Plan

A treatment plan will be based on the diagnosis, the stage of the disease, the size of the tumor, and your general health and age.

Drug Therapies

Your provider may prescribe the following drug therapies:

Hodgkin's and Non-Hodgkin's:

Radiation therapy Chemotherapy, possibly with alpha interferon

Cutaneous T-Cell:

Emollients, moisturizers, topical steroids Chemotherapy Electron beam therapy Retinoids and interferon

Surgical and Other Procedures

Bone marrow transplantation and peripheral blood stem cell transplantation are sometimes performed. Radioimmunotherapy, which is treatment with a radioactive substance that is linked to an antibody that will attach to the tumor when injected into the body, is being tested in clinical trials. Surgical removal of the tumor may also be performed.

Complementary and Alternative Therapies

A comprehensive treatment plan for lymphoma may include a range of complementary and alternative therapies. Be sure to ask your team of health care providers about the best ways to incorporate these therapies into your overall treatment plan. Always tell your health care providers of the supplements you are taking.

Improved relaxation and decreased stress, through such activities as guided imagery, tai chi, yoga, and meditation are helpful in promoting a sense of well-being. Intimacy and support from others helps promote a positive and empowering attitude.

Nutrition and Supplements

Following these nutritional tips may help reduce symptoms:

Try to eliminate potential food allergens, including dairy, wheat (gluten), corn, soy, preservatives, and food additives. Your health care provider may want to test for food sensitivities. Eat antioxidant foods, including fruits (such as blueberries, cherries, and tomatoes) and vegetables (such as kale, spinach, and peppers). Avoid refined foods, such as white breads, pastas, and sugar. Eat cruciferous vegetables (such as broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower). Eat fewer red meats and more lean meats, cold-water fish, tofu (soy, if no allergy) or beans for protein. Use healthy cooking oils, such as olive oil or vegetable oil. Reduce or eliminate trans-fatty acids, found in such commercially baked goods as cookies, crackers, cakes, French fries, onion rings, donuts, processed foods, and margarine. Avoid coffee and other stimulants, alcohol, and tobacco. Drink 6 - 8 glasses of filtered water daily. Exercise lightly, if possible, 5 days a week.

You may address nutritional deficiencies with the following supplements:

A multivitamin daily, containing the antioxidant vitamins A, C, E, the B-complex vitamins and trace minerals such as magnesium, calcium, zinc, and selenium. Probiotic supplement (containing Lactobacillus acidophilus), 5 - 10 billion CFUs (colony forming units) a day, for maintenance of gastrointestinal and immune health. You should refrigerate your acidophilus products. Omega-3 fatty acids, such as fish oil, 1 - 2 capsules or 1 tbsp.oil two to three times daily, to help decrease inflammation. Cold-water fish, such as salmon or halibut, are good sources. Vitamin C, 500 - 1,000 mg two to three times daily, as an antioxidant. L-theanine, 200 mg one to three times daily, for nervous system support. Melatonin, 2 - 5 mg before bed, when needed for sleep. Some alternative health care providers will use higher dosages.

Herbs

Herbs are generally available as standardized, dried extracts (pills, capsules, or tablets), teas, or tinctures/liquid extracts (alcohol extraction, unless otherwise noted). Mix liquid extracts with favorite beverage. Dose for teas is 1 - 2 heaping teaspoonfuls/cup water steeped for 10 - 15 minutes (roots need longer).

Green tea (Camellia sinensis) standardized extract, 250 - 500 mg daily, for antioxidant, anticancer and immune effects. Use caffeine-free products. You may also prepare teas from the leaf of this herb. Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) standardized extract, 150 - 300 mg two to three times daily, for anticancer and immune effects. You may also take a tincture of this mushroom extract, 30 - 60 drops two to three times a day. Olive leaf (Olea europaea) standardized extract, 250 - 500 mg one to three times daily, for anticancer and immune effects. Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) seed standardized extract, 80 - 160 mg two to three times daily, for detoxification support. Fermented wheat germ extract, one packet dissolved in favorite beverage once daily, for anticancer and immune effects.

Homeopathy

Homeopathy may help reduce symptoms and strengthen overall constitution and may help decrease the side effects of chemotherapy.

Radium bromatum is specific for radiation poisoning, especially followed by arthritic complaints. Acute dose is three to five pellets of 12X to 30C every 1 - 4 hours until symptoms are relieved.

Physical Medicine

Contrast hydrotherapy may help enhance immune function and facilitate the transport of nutrients and waste products. End hot showers with 1 - 2 minutes of cold-water spray. Since hydrotherapy stimulates lymphatic flow, talk to your physician first before beginning and hydrotherapy regimen.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture may help strengthen immunity and detoxification. It may also reduce the side effects of chemotherapy. For many patients and physicians, acupuncture has become one of the most widely used alternative interventions in cancer treatment. Unlike botanicals and nutrients, acupuncture works without ingesting substances so possible interactions with cancer drugs or treatments is unlikely.

Prognosis/Possible Complications

Prognosis varies depending on the type and stage of lymphoma. Survival rates for Stage I and II non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and Hodgkin's lymphoma are very high.

Potential complications include the following:

Hodgkin's sometimes develops into non-Hodgkin's lymphoma Radiation and chemotherapy can cause secondary cancers Infections and pulmonary fibrosis (thickening and scarring of the air sacs of the lungs) may occur

Following Up

Once you are in remission, it is essential that you be checked for signs of relapse on a regular basis.
