Guest guest Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 When government and medical authorities control the selection of pharmaceuticals that statistically assure the death of cancer patients, I can't help but see this as a thinning of the herd. A natural response is to question why this herd needs thinning and who gives these authorities the right to do the thinning. Certainly it is not the herd begging to be thinned. This is part of the reason I believe so strongly that each individual has an inherent sovereign right to see to one's own health. It is bad enough when the authorities thin the herd, but what really dismays and " shivers me timbers " is when I witness the herd thinning itself. This is exactly what is going on when a person or group adheres to a limiting treatment based on some blinkered philosophy. They are, for example, implicitly saying, " I believe so strongly in the exclusive use of natural products that I am willing to die for this belief. " It is the same thing when people limit themselves to herbs named in a holy book, or to those that grew out of " God's green earth, " or only homeopathic meds, or only alkalinizers, or raw foods, or only those elixers sold by a stage-prancing healer. I think it makes much more sense to use any med that is non-toxic, or if it is crunch time, to use, judiciously, anything that will save the day even if it is not as non-toxic as we prefer. Great examples are the off-label use of drugs that are usually intended for other purposes. Ivermectin is a good example. It is thought of as a synthetic pharmaceutical, and its use is limited to animal use in the US. In other countries it performs spectacularly for horrendous human parasites. Its use in dogs is limited in that it should not be used in those with a P-glycoprotein genetic defect. Ivermectin is actually a natural product. It can be very useful off label to control NFkB in cancer patients and it can be extremely valuable for those with autoimmune/inflammatory CNS and myoneural disorders. Ivermectin is cheap and I suspect it is withheld from the human market if favor of far more lucrative, but worthless products. Mebendazole is an antiparasitic that most of us have used. A three-day program will rid a child of pinworms. It is very inexpensive and it has a valuable off-label use for cancer patients in that it is a safe and potent microtubule inhibitor. Its use can't be stopped so the authorities ignore it -- at least until the they can dream up some sort of reason to ban it. I am convinced that the off label use of PPAR inhibitors to kill cancer is the real reason that the authorities are on a mission to ban their use also. Want to use bitter almond oil, phenylacetic acid (antineoplastons), or iodine to fight cancer? The authorities control them because they say that these might be used to make illicit drugs. The authorities can't stop you though from stockpiling the most valuable tool of all in the fight against cancer. That tool is useful knowledge. This is something that is in short supply with the government and with their lock-steppin' physician toadies. For those sensible people on this list, the goal should be to track down every relatively non-toxic drug with a useful off-label application. There might be something you want to hoard for concern that the pharmaceutical companies would use their enormous lobbying muscle to have banned. It can be dipyridamole, cimetidine, griseofulvin, nocodazole, periactin, cromolyn sodium... Nothing would make me happier than for everyone on this list to hang a grand picture frame in your house, and under the frame should be your prayer.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 I recall the early days of my bladder cancer dx when the use of BCG (instillation of a live but mild TB virus) was suggested which I did not immediately refuse because it was not injected into the blood stream but rather instilled into the bladder and then voided out. I ran it by who let me know there was “good science†behind it,. I went ahead with the first course because it seemed fairly harmless. The object is to ‘irritate’ the bladder and kick-start the immune system. I like that thought. Note, nothing was said in the e-mail below about seeking drugs as the first battle but as people have discovered, Cimetidine and other things have good reports. It is so easy to take up the cross of Natural and go forward without ever looking back. Cancer is still unique. It is not the common cold and it can kill. Sometimes it needs a direct assault, more than can be given by broccoli or asparagus. Remember, ‘Every green thing†that was supposedly given us, also includes Poison Ivy. Just being cute.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Wasn't going to comment on this, but I must. Chemicals do not make the body well. Even the DO I see for blood work & labs tells me all meds are toxic. I asked him if I could tape record him saying that….he nervously laughed. They may help to temporarily kill off cancer cells or reduce tumor size/load, but they do not support the body in the healing process. Even if every cancer cell/tumor in the body could be killed, it does not necessarily make the body well. It’s not my experience that it's easy for most people to take up the cross of natural (not the people I see – especially their family members) because we are such a chemically-minded/conventional-medicine-has-the-only-scientific-answers society. It is very likely if not probable that chemicals are the most important cause of the cancer epidemic we are witnessing. And even non-toxic synthetic chemicals (I'm not convinced there is such a thing) can cause the body to develop other health concerns in the future. I understand that sometimes the future must be sacrificed on the altar of the present (life-threatening extreme situations). Chemicals, even though one is using off-label or supposedly non-toxic should not be the first line of choice, as Joe indicated. It is continually implied how safe certain chemicals are. While there may be a response it doesn't mean they are prudent for the long run. More times than not the body eventually gets used to them and then another chemical must be tried. Just the same as with chemo. Chemicals are a quick-fix in most cases and do not encourage any type of life-style change. They are easy to take and convenient, which people love. In other words, changing the lifestyle that obviously wasn't conducive to health doesn’t seem as important as taking that drug or getting that shot even though the practitioner may mention lifestyle changes are needed. Again, it's all about being brain-washed that drugs actually do heal. Every person's situation is so unique which makes it difficult to even expound on the use of chemicals vs natural therapies. As my doctor always told me, conventional drugs/chemicals will always be there, but for most people they shouldn't be the first choice. The very few times that I grumbled a bit about " just wanting my life back " , his suggestion was that we get up right then and go walk the halls of MD . Because I had experienced one month of horrendous chemo as well as 15 bottles of meds to take care of side-effects, his statement brought be back to reality quickly. Unfortunately I have no idea what constitutes the definition of " good science " . ) Be Well Dr.L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 In the sense I used “good science’, I could have used ‘good reports’ because that is what I meant. Those reports come from studies which I suppose could be called Good Science. Nothing I have seen today, on this list, suggests that Chemotherapy or drugs in general are the first line of defense and you Loretta simply highlight again that there are those situations where tumor load or whatever the situation, perhaps imminent death, something other than natural needs to be done and quickly. I think that is all that has been said here. Some of the things we use in Alternative healing are not exactly ‘natural’ in the sense an apple is. Come to think of it, some of the “green things given to us†were not actually “given to us†but rather developed by horticulturalists and their ‘scientific’ manipulation of seeds and pollen. Ascorbic Acid? Though I’ve done the I.V. thing, exactly how natural-like is it? It is man made as is NAC which has extremely ‘good reports’ (good science) to back up its use. It seems one of the important things that needs to be done is actually see what is being written and if a question about something arises, question it to find out what the person meant. Gubi did that earlier regarding some Aloe product wanting clarification about but what was said. There was no jumping to conclusions. Writing is a difficult way to express oneself in a short piece because the ‘eye of the beholder’ comes into play and with that is brought prejudices and pre-conceived ideas......a lot of them justified. This is when Reading Comprehension comes into play. Few of us would be competent enough to take advantage of conventional methods and then knowing what else to do as had to when approaching his cancer. Some were probably not list members at that time but it was quite an eye-opener for me. To sum it up, Loretta is correct Chemicals “do not make the body well†and nobody here said they do....but under certain circumstances provide a ‘stop-gap’ means to buy some time for that to happen. Some people are falling all over themselves over LDN (Low Dose Naltrexone).......a drug. I have no evidence to the contrary but it is a drug but is clearly Alternative when it comes to cancer. When that time comes when drastic measures are needed, it might be beyond most of our abilities to work with. That is when we do need to work with someone that knows what works and what doesn’t. That applies equally to Alternative as well as Conventional.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 I can compile a list of thousand unfamiliar chemicals with biological properties, half the chemicals would be completely synthesized, and the other half would be extracted from nature. There is not a person on this list, including the professionals, who could do better than chance in guessing if a chemical is natural or not. No chemical, natural or synthetic " will make a body well. " Almost any chemical, natural or synthetic, is a medicine or a toxin depending on the wisdom of its application. Almost all chemotherapies are derivatives of nature's meds. Even the completely natural forms such as oleander or vinca extracts are toxic in the dosages required to see results. There are no bright lines to divide the synthetic chemicals from natural foods, minerals, herbs. Sometimes you have synergisms in nature, but then I can give examples of harmless laboratory analogs of synthesized aspirin that synergize against cancer when used together. The differences between synthesized and the natural have more to do with marketing ploys and indoctrination than they do with reality. Most prescription meds are toxic. This is considered desireable by many in the pharmaceutical industry as they can charge higher prices if the med is considered too toxic to use without professional oversight. Most herbs are sold in doses that are too weak to be toxic -- or to do much good. A skilled practitioner will ignore all the nonsense about synthetic and natural and go straight to core issues: is the proposed medicine homeostatic or non-homeostatic? For true homeostatic treatments you are limiting yourself to detoxes, replenishments, and some immune regulators. Virtually all herbs, like chemos, are non-homeostatic. Sure we prefer to use non-toxic homeostatic treatments, but when it is crunch time we often have to initiate therapies with the oft-toxic herbs and synthetics. For my own stage 4 cancer which came on like gangbusters, I had to use toxic therapies just to get well enough to stand up in the laboratory. There I synthesized non-toxic meds that would certainly have been illegal if I were to give them to others. I no longer have any evidence of cancer. It is hard for me to imagine beating a cancer without violating a few laws or stepping on someone's patent. I like to tell people that if your cherished beliefs aren't working, then park those beliefs at the door, do what you have to do to beat your cancer, and then return to the world from whence you came if you choose. .. <http://geo./serv?s=97359714/grpId=106033/grpspId=1705061620/msgId= 47449/stime=1296450595/nc1=5191946/nc2=5191951/nc3=4507179> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
