Hello - first post/lots of questions

[Guest guest]

I am leaving to go in to the hospital to prep for a lumpectomy so will not have

time to list all I do but we bought Teeccino (I am not a coffee drinker but my

hubby is)  It is for your drip coffee maker but can be done in an expresso

machine.  My hubby adds vanilla stevia, chocolate stevia drops to make it taste

almost like coffee.  A few of the things my natural path told me to do for sure

Lactofferin, a combo drop of graviola and mistletoe, etc.

Hi ... The only thing I see is that you might want to add immune

boosters to your schedule. The two that I know will not be a problem with

your chemo is Avemar and AHCC. Both are superior immune boosters.

In addition, Ave (Avemar) has been involved in clinical trials and written

up in peer-reviewed papers. Ave boosts the immune system, helps to dissolve

the 'coating' cancer cells produce to hide themselves from your NK and T

killer cells and lastly, it disrupts cancer cells uptake of glucose.

Ave has never been tested alone as a cancer fighter, only as an adjunct

along with standard cancer treatment. It is great for preventing mets and

recurrences. In oral cancer, which has a recurrence rate of 60 - 70%, that

rate, in trials, was cut to less than 10%. It also ameliorates side-effects

from chemo & radiation. It has been used routinely in Japan, Israel and

Hungary, just to name a few countries. Not in the US, of course...lol

Just make sure you find a reliable supplier of Ave. It must be kept cool

(below 84 degrees) both when stored and when shipped. In my zeal to find a

cheaper supplier, I have been ripped off a few times. I rely on

www.betterhealthinternational.com for my Ave (I have no affiliation with

them). When I order the Ave, I go ahead and order my AHCC. Them and

Vitacost seem to be the cheapest for AHCC - ImmunPower. With the weather so

warm, I also pay extra for overnight delivery of Ave during the summer

months.

Good luck, my friend and God bless.... Lola

Hi .

I had IDC and DCIS in 2007, high stage, high grade. Hormone postitive, but HER2

was negative. Went through chemo, though I really didn't want to. Have to

admit I didn't take the last 3 (out of 8). Also had rads.

Some news lately has been about Vitamin D. I had my level checked, and it was

low. So I supplement with D3 and my level has started to rise. I also take

CoQ10 and purified Fish Oil, eat some cereal bars with a good supply of Selenium

in them. I have read about all this helping against recurrence. I am not high

dose on any of it, or always eating the cereal bars, though.

Also, good diet, as you are doing, should help you a lot, and if you can do 30

mins a day of moderate exercise, that has also been shown to work well against

recurrence.

I have had a tough time since treatment, getting energy, strength, stamina back.

I had Chronic Fatigue of some sort when I was younger (the thing they talk about

now, or some similar case). I was not in good shape, either, before chemo.

Well, anyway, I am still not hitting the exercise goals, but I am at least

getting more active as I can (also have a disc herniation just now).

I am working on my diet, but woo, you are doing a lot better with yours! But I

am really determined to get to a healthier weight and be able to exercise more.

The coffee question may be due to it coming from places where they use

pesticides that are illegal to use here. Also, it seems to make breast tissue

more dense, and cause benign growths in some women.

Hope I have helped. Check with your doctor or nutritionist about the

supplements and the doses that are best for you.

Best,

~J

I've cut it out but wonder if it will be something I can drink again every so

often? I sure do miss my morning latte (a real latte with expresso and milk,

not the one full of sweeteners that shouldn't be considered coffee in the first

place). I am currently taking Vit C, Vit B-complex, Vit E, aphodophilus (sp?),

Gyo Green, and a powdered multi-vitamin.

If we take out something high energy from our diet like sugar, we really

need to add something back in that will replace that and to avoid going

back to sugar.

Rather than going for carbs or protein, you might want to go for a fat

such as coconut oil. It's a great energy source to get you through the

day and prevents hunger and cravings. At the same time, coconut oil is

excellent at protecting the liver and kidneys. The liver and kidneys is

something we really need to protect when doing chemo.

It's no wonder most people are having a hard time staying away from all

that sugar when we are supposed to eat low-fat too!

All the best!

To change totally your Nutrition is essential to fight cancer .

.. A good selection of organic vegetables , fruits and teas can contain 5 000 to

10 000 different phytochemicals who work often in synergy .. Supplements can't

give us this..

Nutrition is a medicine and it is the only one we had for the past 15 millions

years as hominids If you transpose the15 millions years of nutritional history

of humans into a 365 day calendar,agriculture, which is only 6 to 8 000 years

old would nt have being invented until about 7 PM on December 31, while

industrialization of food only have taken place few minute before the new year.

GMO, few and junk food few second before the new year..

So, we need to get back to the common sens of our ancestor who choose to grow

smelly vegetables like broccoli and kale for theirs health virtues.

Cancer hate Broccoli sprouts who contain 237 mg of cancer fighting

Glucosinolates per 3 Oz. Cancer hate Collard green, Kale, Watercress,

Turnip,Cabbage,Cauliflower..

Cancer hate Garlic ,onion,bets,pomegranate but love meat, cheese and dairies..

Cancer hate raw, live food and healthy food.. because it feed on garbage

cadavers..and ignorance..

Here some important ( live saving ) links on Nutrition to fight cancer :

Watch also this video of my friend : Ruth

I have in my small collection 700 articles on Health and Nutrition on this blog

for a reason .. My wife is a breast cancer survivor and her only chemo was

Nutritional..
