Re: ALTERNATIVE CANCER TREATMENTS: CAUSES OF FAILURE

[Guest guest]

Wow.. I have never seen a better presentation of cancer goals/situations

than this. A lot of this presentation is intuitive but it has made me

really think and reevaluate my own cancer battle strategy. More than a few

things pointed out here, I had never really given much thought to. Not true

anymore.. lol Thank you so much ..

This is all very timely for me. I am having to look at my protocol again as I

just found out I have mets to spleen and liver. I am pretty sure they were on

their way 8 months ago when I had my bi-laterial mastectomy. At least I

probably kept it under control as I am not dead yet! Quite a shock. So a lot

of these points very much ring true about mistakes I have made and how to

proceed as I have turned down all standard treatment but surgery. The thing I

find really hard is making decisions. Particually when you have an aggressive

rare cancer. One thing I didn't see mentioned was dealing with rare cancers

where there isn't a lot of info out there. Especially info alternative

treatments and what works. There is so much conflicting information out there

as well. That's where this document is helpful but it would be a lot more

helpful if we had smart s everywhere running these type of programs. I

feel I could really benifit from a more organised methodical one on one approach

but am in the UK!

,

Thank you for your post. It is truly helpful.

I am attaching herewith article on Herb which helps " cancer of the bowel "

as well as many other cancers. I bought my herb robert dried leaves (no other

mixture) from www.spicediscounters.com. This plant is available in California

also.

Papaya leaves due to its papain content is now showing as a good cancer

treatment. But i am not sure if this should be good for you since your stomach

is not in good condition.

Take care and hope you recover soon.

HERB ROBERT

.... ... see How can I use HERBS in my daily life? for full text.

Geranium ianum F. Geraniaceae

Description

Annual, to 30-40cm, stems branch in many directions, and these stems may turn

red, in colour. Green leaves, 6cm long, form opposite, at knotted joints on the

stem; leaves are palmate in shape, deeply cut, and often tinged with colours of

pink, red or bronze. Stems and leaves are covered with very fine hairs. Very

dainty, bright-pink, `joy giving' flowers, 15mm across, have five, rounded

petals. Each petal has 3 streaks of white, starting at the centre and phasing

out along the petal. Flowers develop, in groups of 2 or 4, at leaf axils.

Herb

Following the flowers, the base of the blossom quickly fills out and develops

into the oval seed receptacle, 17mm long, and when mature, looks like a bird's

beak, which is why the plant has been given the common names: `storkbill' and

`cranesbill'. As the seeds dry off, nature has a way of dispersing: by opening

the `beak' and ejecting with a sudden spring action, flinging the 5 small, oval

seeds in five directions, ensuring that there will be future generations of the

plant, for mankind's use. I believe this plant should be in every garden, ready

for service.

Constituents:

volatile oil, bitters, tannin, geraiine

Vitamins:

A, B, C

Minerals:

calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, germanium

Actions:

astringent, antibiotic, adaptogen, antiviral, styptic, tonic, diuretic,

digestive, sedative, antioxidant

Medicinal Uses

Herb robert is a supreme, therapeutic herb. Although, very little information is

available, on the constituents, this herb's action is one of the most

outstanding herbs that we can use regularly, as an enhancer of the immune

system. Research has revealed herb robert is a source of germanium, a valuable

element to the body, as it has the ability to make oxygen available to the

cells. More oxygen, at cell level, means the body has the opportunity to fight

disease by its own powers, and healing can take place quickly. Lack of oxygen,

available to the cells, can be caused by free radicals and a toxic state around

the cells: meaning the cells cannot get the required oxygen, or the nutrients,

to regenerate. The area becomes anaerobic, the beginning of pain, disease,

wayward cells and cancer. Dr. Otto Warburg, twice Nobel Prize winner, said in

1966, " The prime cause of cancer is lack of oxygenation of the cells " . He

discovered that riotous, wayward cancer cells could not exist in the presence of

abundant oxygen, but only in and anaerobic state. Because oxygen plays such an

important role in cell health and immune function, using herb robert regularly,

can be something really practical we can do, for overall wellbeing. Germanium

not only works as an oxygen carrier and catalyst, but also stimulates electrical

impulses, at a cellular level, which has a beneficial ripple effect, throughout

the whole body. Germanium's remarkable effects on the immune system have been

documented in medical journals: as an energy giver, immune builder, and as a

powerful therapeutic and preventative, as a vigorous adaptogen, acting to

alleviate minor or major health imbalances. Germanium provides an antibiotic,

antiviral, antioxidant arsenal; and, I believe this is what we experience, when

we make herb robert part of our daily lives.

Many years ago, someone shared with me an article on herb robert that has given

many people new hope from serious conditions of the body. The article was

written by V. Ferrandiz N.D. Spain, published in 1976 as a news item, in `Herald

of Health', entitled: `Geranium ianum, ancient herb used in the treatment

for defeating cancer'. The article gave details of how to use the herb, and

several case histories. The following three paragraphs are from the article: `In

this article, I will report on the healings accomplished with a humble herb, St.

's Wort or Geranium ainum. This healing is not a modern invention,

within the natural healing arts. The great botanist and teacher, Dioscorides,

had already described it. Probably, someone in Portugal had read about his

description of the remedial action of Wort against cancer, and knowing

about some cases of this terrible disease, started to use this herb or recommend

it to the patient's relatives. And so its healing virtues soon spread over the

country, which attracted the attention of the media, who began to investigate

and collect information from several sources.

In February 1953, the `Natura' magazine printed a letter by P. Friere, an

outstanding Portuguese Journalist, stating, " My colleague, Mr. Nunes de

Carcalho, reports about his motherin- law, aged 83 years. She had been afflicted

with bowel cancer, confirmed by two doctors and x-rays. They advised that not

one but two surgical interventions were deemed extremely essential, but, despite

this, the poor old lady possibly would not stand the operation, at her age.

Someone told Mr. De Carcalho about a person who knew about a prescription with

which she used to cure this disease. The woman prescribed a mixture of powdered

leaves of St. 's Wort and fresh raw egg yolk. The patient took this and

was healed. The plant has astringent, homeostatic and antibiotic actions.

Shortly after, the wife of the journalist fell ill, and the same doctor who

advised the two operations for the old lady, attended her. It was at this time

that the doctor discovered that the woman, whom he thought would have been dead,

was healed. Then, more information was found about others who had been healed;

some, of cancer of the bowel; others, of lung cancer; of breast cancer; and

cancer of the uterus. Especially mentioned, was the case of a lady afflicted

with intestinal cancer as diagnosed by xrays and doctors; she was in her last

stage of endurance, as the wound was deep and large. Treated with this remedy,

Herb ianum, in a few weeks and with some enemas, a total purification was

accomplished. To this, the reporter added… it is usual for doctors to doubt

their own diagnosis, rather than accept that cancer has been cured by a humble

herb.

Another woman healed with this herb, was Cruz Caridade, who had inoperable

lung cancer, with branches leading to the neck and arms. She heard about the

healing virtues of St. 's Wort and tried it. Very soon, an improvement

ensued and, after a time, was completely healed. Some time later, lumps appeared

in her breasts, rib and shoulder and her doctor advised a series of radiotherapy

treatments. But she remembered what had happened with the lung cancer, and

again, tried the same herbal treatment. Gradually, the nodes started to recede

and diminish in size, until they were completely gone'.

Now, over 25 years since the man shared the article with me, I know of many

people who have benefited with this extraordinary herb, having listened, over

the years, to their various problems and reports. People ring and say

specialists are rather mystified that they can no longer find any trace of

cancer on x-rays or tests. Did their doctor make a wrong diagnosis? I prefer to

acknowledge that herbs have been given to us for our health, and healing.

called to tell me he had been diagnosed with advanced bowel cancer; and

his doctor had told him to go away and die. He had been told about herb robert,

and started taking the herb, daily. His cancer is now in remission.

Recently, called from North Queensland, to tell me she was enjoying a

holiday on the Sunshine Coast, and a new lease of life. Her life had been marred

by lung cancer, but now was free of any sign of it, which believes was due,

entirely, to taking herb robert daily, for 11 months, and she will continue to

take it.

Robyn wrote to me from interstate, saying that drinking the herb had caused

bladder cancer to disappear, not even leaving a scar.

Most people, who start on herb robert, immediately experience relief from pain.

Some see improvement in conditions very quickly, while others may only get

results after many months, of using the herb.

.... ... see How can I use HERBS in my daily life? for full text.

No one can say that the herb is a cancer cure. To my knowledge, no scientific

research has been done that shows it can cure any ailment. It does have special

properties, like many other herbs, that can help the body to heal. Many factors

can play a part in recovery from illness: including diet, exercise, natural

herbal remedies, positive attitude, a loving environment, and being able to

release stress. Many people have benefited by the herb, or experienced pain

relief from various conditions, however this does not mean that everyone will

experience full return to health.

This little plant, once called St. , has been revered in herbal history

for many ailments. These have included: stomach problems, as a digestive aid, a

blood cleanser and body detoxifier; for diarrhea, diabetes, shingles, enteritis,

skin conditions, bruises, inflammation, rheumatism and arthritis, peptic ulcers,

kidney diseases and stones, hemorrhages, herpes, colds, lethargy, adrenal gland

diseases, impotence, gout, liver ailments, mucus congestion, infectious sores,

gastritis, hemorrhoids, painful inflammation around finger and toe nails, and

eye irritations.

A friend had a growth forming over her eyes, causing blurred vision. Barb

completely cleared the film, and the problem, by bathing her eyes with an

infusion of the leaves. Doreen shared with me, in a letter, her experience with

the herb, " I am now bugged with cataracts on both eyes. The left eye was

completely blind. So I made a tea of the leaves and mixed aloe vera with this. I

wash the eyes out with this mixture, twice a day. After about 3 weeks of this

treatment, I am starting to gain a little sight in the left eye, and the right

eye has also improved. Thank you for telling me about herb robert " .

The herb has come to the rescue, as a gargle, for many people with mouth ulcers,

bleeding gums and sore throats. Rub bruised, fresh leaves over the area, or use

the herb, made into a tea, as a mouth rinse and gargle. Several diabetics have

found using herb robert, regularly, has helped to stabilise blood sugar levels.

Herb robert is used to help clear colitis (inflammation of the colon) which

interferes with the normal, wave-like motion of peristalsis, causing cramps,

constipation and mucus discharge.

Chronic fatigue is being relieved, for people who start on the herb.

.... ... see How can I use HERBS in my daily life? for full text.

Rudolph Breuss, in his book, `Cancer and Leukaemia', gives advice for treatment

of cancer and other, seemingly incurable, diseases, saying that: besides the

vegetable juice regime, and kidney tea, herb robert is essential, when dealing

with all cancers, as it stimulates the kidneys to reject and eliminate poisons.

He recommended that a pinch of the herb be steeped in 1 cup of boiled water for

10 minutes and drunk, cold, daily. In one chapter in the book, he wrote on

infertility; he recommended, for couples who have had difficulty conceiving that

both husband and wife should sip a cup of herb robert daily (made the same way

as for the cancer treatment above). He knows this method is effective, from

feedback he has received. In his `hints for farmers' he recommends a handful of

herb robert, mixed with concentrates and a little salt, fed to cows (for 3 days)

that cannot come into calf.

The original article I was given, stated that, for cancer treatment, the method

of use was to take the leaves and stems of herb robert (either dried and

powdered or finely chopped, fresh leaves) to make a heaped teaspoonful. This was

mixed well with a fresh, raw egg-yolk, taken first thing in the morning, on an

empty stomach. Don't be put off by the thought of the raw egg-yolk, as believe

me, it is quite palatable. The finer the herb is cut, the easier it is to

swallow. Note, it only smells like foxes (to me); the flavour is not unpleasant.

Approximately 20-25 large leaves and stems (10-15cm long) are required to make 1

teaspoonful of finely chopped leaves. To keep up this daily dose, quite a number

of plants need to be growing and well established to have sufficient leaves for

a daily supply. For people who require a consistent, ongoing, supply of leaves,

I recommend that as plants flower and set seed, that these be handpicked. Seed

is mature when the capsule is 2cm long, with the oval seed receptacle being

plump and hard, when felt with 2 fingers. Nip off the hard capsules and leave to

dry 3-4 days. Sow seeds in large pots, a shady spot in the garden, or styrofoam

fruit boxes are ideal, as they can accommodate a thick planting of seeds. Cover

seed with 5mm of fine soil. Water regularly, so the soil does not dry out.

Germination can take from 2-6 weeks, depending on temperature and climatic

conditions. For people using the herb daily with raw egg-yolk, it is advisable

to get 6-10 styrofoam boxes of plants established, and also to maintain an

ongoing regime of regular seed planting. It is the consistent, daily, use of the

herb that is important to improved health. For any other therapeutic use, or

people wishing to use it as a preventative and strengthen their immune system,

the leaves and stems (fresh or dried) can be used as a tea, sweetened with

honey, if desired. Some people blend the leaves together with fruit juice, or

add to vegetables and fruits when juicing.

Let me share how I use the herb. Each morning, before breakfast, I visit my

garden to collect 4-5 leaves and stems of herb robert. Then I pick 5-6 gotu kola

leaves, several nasturtium leaves and flowers, a small handful of sheep sorrel

and whatever else I feel like adding, which could be a comfrey leaf, watercress,

yarrow and lemon balm (if I am planning to have avocado on toast). In the

kitchen, the herbs get cut rather coarsely with a knife and heaped over toast,

muesli, or whatever I have for breakfast.

Herb robert has always been esteemed for its homeostatic action, the ability to

help maintain an environment of physiological, organic stability, even when the

body's natural function or condition has been disrupted.

I believe this herb can be a valuable addition for every person's daily well

being. Use it as part of cancer treatment or cancer prevention. Today, I checked

with the Australian Bureau of Statistics for the Cancer Mortality figures. The

latest figures available are for the year 2000, which showed 35,628 deaths, in a

population of less than 20 million; (note these figures give us no idea how many

thousands of people are also diagnosed with cancer, each year). With this

alarmingly high, incidence of cancer in Australia, let's all do what we can do,

at a personal level, to change these statistics. Share information of the

benefits of herb robert with family and friends. If we can use the healing

properties of Herb , and also increase the concentration of oxygen

circulating in our bodies, our immune system will be strengthened, so that we

can resist disease and lay the foundation for high-level wellness.

It is believed that the herb was probably named after the 11th Century French

saint , Abbot of Molerne, whose medical skills were legendary. Let's use

this herb for our health and healing. Herb could be called a true saint,

for the way it has helped and blessed so many people.

, sorry to hear what your going though I suppose we have all been though

it too. I have read your post and cant under stand why your cancer getting

worse. Can you let me know what you on right now may be I can help. Ray

I want to tell you what was told to me and once I understood it. I was able to

better fight my cancer. I have advance prostate cancer. Adenocarcinoma. I can

not go onto ADT as I also have a heart condition so I use holistic treatment to

control it, I'm glad I did as research has shown on average a prostate cancer

patient can live for about twelve years, but on average breast cancer

patient may live for about 18 months. There also now finding men who have

had ADT or hormone therapy are getting and dieing of both breast cancer and

heart disease. in 2007 I was told a few simple facts that there is no such thing

as a cure for cancer. The only thing that effectively fight cancer is our own

immune system. cancer loves high energy processed foods like bread, sugar, and

fruit high in fructose, ect. These foods are not part of the foods our body are

meant to have. they all help feed cancer. they also help cancer cells to grow in

such numbers that they overwhelm our immune system with just to meany cancer

cells. One of the job of the immune system is to kill off cancer cells, before

they can become cancer tumors. But with these high energy foods that we have on

a daily basis that can be come an impossibility.

But there are also foods that fight cancer like asparagus, all the foods from

the cabbage family, and the onion family like garlic etc,, to name a few. all

these foods are so good st fighting cancer. they will even work on brain cancer

cells.

All adenocarcinomas to start off with are a sex hormone dependent cancer. They

need sex hormones to survive. Most breast cancers are adenocarcinoma so its a

sex hormone dependent cancer. Awhile ago I was wondering why, that Because I

have prostate cancer and while it in my prostrate it is slow growing my doctor

told me but once out side the prostate it a fast growing cancer, the reason for

this is in side the prostate fluids are alkaline to protect sperm as the fluids

in the Virginia are acid to fight bacteria. the alkalinity of the prostate slows

the growth of the prostate cancer

, Regarding this one do you have any suggestions?:

11. Mixed Psychological Intention. Everyone

consciously wants to get well, but there are

often influential naysayers doing a little

back-seat driving from the netherconscious

regions of the mind. It should be suspected in

patients who find fault with every proposed

treatment no matter how benign, and in those

patients who consistently forget to take their meds.
