Was it the herbs and diet that helped?

[Guest guest]

I was diagnoed with small bowl cancer in April. I had the tumor

removed and with part of the small intestine and part of the stomach

wall. I was facing a fairly grim prognosis along with 12 sessions

of FOLFOX regime.

I went to a holistic MD to compliment my treatment and was given a

very restrictive diet; no flour, dairy or sugar. He also had me

take 3 chinese herbs called, Reishi, Miatake and Corliolus.

I was never a fan of " alternative " treatments but I had nothing to

lose and was going to do anything to save my life. I am only 51 and

was in good health my whole life.

I have only one chemo treatment left and I have had a remarkable

response to the chemo; it work wonderfully and the few tumors left

have shrunk to where I am told I am in partial remission.

However, the most remarkable part of my journey was the lack of side

effcts to the chemo. After the first session, I was NEVER tired

after chemo, in fact, I needed sleeping pills to sleep. I had NO

nausea, no mouth sores, etc. My hair did thin and I had a little

bit of diarreah but that was it. I basically felt like I did before

taking chemo all the time.

I don't know if I was just the lucky one or that the herbs helped

since they are widely known to reduce chemo side effects and for

anti-tumor abilities.

I would advise everybody facing colon type cancer to explre these

herbs.
