Questions - Vitamin D, Blood-Type Diet, Probiotics

[Guest guest]

Hi All:

I have a few questions. It seems vitamin D is critical in fighting cancer and

in its prevention. A month before my wife was diagnosed with ovarian cancer I

took her to get her vitamin D level checked. It was 14. Anything below 30 is in

the danger zone using the 25 hydroxy vitamin level test. We have since got it up

and she is taking 10,000 units of vitamin D3 daily. Our alternate cancer doctor

said he wants to see the vitamin D level at least up to 70 to 100.

The old recommendation of 400 daily is outdated and it is now recommended that

this be monitored by a blood test. The average person would need about 5,000

units per day. Because everyone is different the amount could be much greater or

less. The average person should have a level of around 50. For fighting cancer

the level should be higher.

Our alternate cancer doctor also told us that my wife's blood type A is more

susceptible to cancers. It seems that the immune system does not recognize

cancer very well. By making a few diet changes and adding a few things to the

diet this can be corrected. Fresh ginger root, brown rice, and several other

things seem to allow the immune system to recognize the cancer and deal with it.

One of the things to avoid was pork as this weakens the immune system. Of course

sugar and certain grains as well. Our alternate doctor has a doctorate degree in

nutrition and we asked him to look over a book we discovered, 4 diets for 4

blood types. He crossed out a few things, soy being one of them. He did mention

that he was going to give us a diet for my wife's blood type, I guess we saved

him some effort.

Our alternate cancer doctor also said that my wife is not a true Blood type A as

one of her parents was a blood type B. Because of this she can have beef twice

per week. It is my understanding that following a diet for your blood type is of

great benefit.

I also do not hear much about probiotics being taken by cancer patients. This

seems like it would be very important as much of the immune system is in the

intestines. I know for a fact that chemo/ antibiotics destroys the good bacteria

in the intestines and this should be replaced. We were told to take high

quality probiotics three times daily both to replace the good bacteria but also

as a detox from the chemo. My wife is also to take a prebiotic in the from of

plant material fiber as food for the good bacteria. Dr. Mercola has a good

probiotic and the doctor also recommend Primal Defense.

It seem enzymes are important as well, any ideas here?  

Comments / ideas?
