Guest guest Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 (Just realized that my response to Noland went to him individually, but I mistakenly failed to send it to the group--so here it is, belatedly---) Hi Noland-- My cancer was progressing quite quickly when it was discovered last April. (I could see bloating in my abdomen.) Both my local oncologist and the one I went to (at Memorial Sloan-Kettering) for a second opinion wanted me to take chemo (CHOP--which is cyclophosphamide, doxiribucin, vinicristine and predinosone--hope I've spelled those correctly) along with Rituxan (a monoclonal antibody). My cancer is considered to be indolent, and incurable, so I refused the chemo and only took the Rituxan. I also went on a macrobiotic diet, lost 45 pounds, began taking supplements (after lots of research on each) and also went on LDN. My cancer has not progressed, at least according to the latest scans. My cancer did not respond to the Rituxan, but it's possible that Rituxan prevented progression. What effect is the LDN having?? I don't know. But, I'm not going to stop taking it. I've read of plenty of people who took CHOP and Rituxan a year ago whose cancer is progressing. I've had no side effects from the LDN and the science made sense to me: many cancers seem to respond to immune system stimulants, at least those which increase T-cells and Natural Killer cells. I'm sorry about your friend's difficult time with chemotherapy. If the cancer was aggressive, he probably did not have time to make the sort of changes that I was able to do. If his cancer is indolent, he might want to consider making some of the lifestyle changes which have been effective for some long-term survivors of Nonhodgkins Lymphoma. Take a look at: http://www.lymphomation.org/wwstrat1.htm By the way, I have done a lot of research about mercury, and just had all of my mercury ( " silver " ) fillings removed by a Hal Huggins trained dentist. I believe that mercury is a significant factor in my cancer, Anyone interested in this subject might want to read: http://www.bioprobe.com All the best to you and your friend, S.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 Thanks Willy, I've heard of Flor Essence, but there are so many alternative remedies it is hard to know which ones to try--and I always research everything to death before I dare to use anything.
