Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I'm just wondering if I should add Tagamet to my regimin, or if it would cause more problems than it helps by reducing my stomach acid, and therefore the assimilation of my food.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Tagamet can be helpful with colon cancer. Just take betaine hydrochloride with large meals.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Thanks Mike. Do you think it be overkill to add it to my existing battery of oleander, bloodroot, beta glucans, IP6, artemix, and LDN? > > > > I'm just wondering if I should add Tagamet to my regimin, or if it > > would cause more problems than it helps by reducing my stomach acid, > > and therefore the assimilation of my food. > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 My 3 cents in matter Tagamet: Tagamet diminishes absorption ( by stomach) vitamins B-12.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 It's not for indigestion. Tagamet actively fights cancer, outside of its antacid role. > > In a message dated 12/9/08, jim.mcelroy writes: > > > or if it would cause more problems than it helps by reducing my stomach acid, > > > > > Have you tried just plain old baking soda? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Jim, Just start with one per day and work up to 4 per day. Monitor for any liver related symptoms. Take a week off every 5 or 6 weeks. Mike jrrjim wrote: > > Thanks Mike.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Yes, and it causes other absorption problems, but all that can be ameliorated by taking betaine hydrochloride. The potential benefits make it worthwhile.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 No, no, no...the beneficial effects of Tagamet on cancer have nothing at all to do with stomach acid. Tagamet stimulates the recovery of immune function and also stimulates the penetration of white cells into the mass of the tumor. In addition, Tagamet can dramatically increase the halflife of mebendazole, which can inhibit angeogenesis and can help induce cell cyle arrest and apoptosis in tumors.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Jim, Canadian pharmacy websites have it. You can get it without a prescription that way. Mike jrrjim wrote: > > How does one get mebendazole? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Jim, Stomach acid/indigestion, is really not what everyone thinks it is. In reality you don't want to alkalize the stomach, you need to help it with digestive enzymes. When we age, or get sick,the normal acid in the stomach decreases, and a lack of HCL in the stomach and the pancreas enzmyes are not there to handle the foods we put in to the stomach. I believe you will benefit if you try some HCL/betine and maybe a pancreatic enzyme. To neutralize the acid is not the answer. It is very important to maintain the acid balance. I have found that the only time you ever want to neutralize the acid is when someone is throwing up. This is when it is needed. I have found that a table spoon of Apple cider vinegar in 16 ounces of water drank after your first throw up will neutralize the stomach acid so the next throwup will not be acid but sweet and easier on you. That is right, sweet. Maybe it sounds crazy but I can vouch it works. Some times a couple glasses of this and you stop the throwing up. but you want to drink all of it each time. This puts live friendly bacteria into the stomach to help stop the problem. Try this and see if it does not make a big difference. I know it did for me.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 What you are saying, though accurate, has nothing to do with Jim's interest in Tagamet (cemetidine). We are not talking about treating hyperacidity with Tagamet (a bad idea). We are talking about using Tagamet as a potentially effective weapon against cancer. The way it works against cancer has nothing directly to do with its inhibition of HCL. Any side effects due to cutting HCL can be made up for by using betaine hydrochloride.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 , But isn't apple cider vinegar used to acidify the stomach? I believe it is. ar On Thu, 11 Dec 2008 05:51:07 -0000, " mkathryn59 " <mkathryn59@...> said: > I have found that the only time you ever want to neutralize the acid is > when someone is throwing up.
