Guest guest Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 I second Carol's opinion. Find a good alternative doctor who has a good reputation. When I was first diagnosed with breast cancer in both breasts, I chose a " doctor " who guaranteed she'd " kill " the cancer without surgery, chemo or rad. I trusted her for 14 months. I finally had a Pet Scan, realized she was lying when all lumps showed up active. Went to another Dr. with the same empty promises and now I'm stage 4. good alternative Dr. like the ones she suggested will tell you the truth. Sometimes it's prudent to have surgery, if the cancer is confined to the tumor or just to debulk the cancer then hit it hard with alternative treatments. I don't know about the kind of cancer that you have but some are curable with chemo. I don't think ovarian is one of them. Keep us posted on your decision ok? There are very knowledgeable people here who can give you opinions about alternative therapies you may want to try.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 ine, My husband is getting treatment in Tijuana, Mexico for brain cancer at The San Diego Clinic (Dr. Munoz). I have met several women there who are getting treated for ovarian cancer. If I were you, I would have everything removed, but refuse chemo/radiation if that is what they are offering, and go alternative route with therapy.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 I just want to to add that even though there are a small number of cancers that are " curable " with chemo - chemo is still CHEMO, highly destructive and toxic and damaging to your immune system. So while you may " cure " the cancer, you are still doing serious damage to your system and raising your odds of another cancer showing up later. Also, raising your chance of the cancer returning along with other serious medical conditions later. I know of many people who have bragged to me about how they cured their lymphoma with chemo, because it is supposedly one of the cancers where chemo " works " . But these same people had it return 3, 4 times, had to do chemo each time, or they are on heart medication for life because of severe valve damage, or they just have so many other medical issues that I just look at them like they told me they were space. Like, is this supposed to be a success story? You temporarily got rid of the cancer but gave up your health and quality of life and possibly shortened it due to the other issues. So I wouldn't recommend chemo/radiation for ANY cancer, regardless of what people tell you. My thinking is, if these certain cancers are so easily curable with chemo, then their cure rates should be a lot higher and quicker with alternate methods. > > I second Carol's opinion.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Please weigh these chemo comments. There are chemo's with minimal if any side effects. Not all chemo is dangerous. Many childhood cancers are curable with chemo. As had pointed out in previous posts, we have to take each therapy and look at the science behind it. I would not take most chemos but if it was curative, I'd look at the studies and the short and long term effects of it before I ruled it out. Taking an all or nothing approach with any cancer treatment is not conducive to healing. I've learned this from experience.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 I said that these are MY thoughts on chemo, and that I would not recommend it to anyone for any reason. I've studied both conventional and natural treatments extensively since I was diagnosed and I am firmly grounded in my opinion on chemo and radiation. If someone wants to go that route, that is THEIR choice, obviously, its readily available. But as far as I'm concerned, I have nothing good to say about it. It's not an all or nothing approach for me, its either toxic, or non-toxic. Again, its my opinion and bears no weight on what others choose to do. Just like we voice our opinions on other treatments, vitamins, protocols, we can voice our opinion on chemo. > > Please weigh these chemo comments. There are chemo's with minimal if any side effects.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 I do not disagree with you about chemo. It does poison your body, however there is a way to administer it so that it only goes into the cancerous cells and does not affect your healthy cells. There is a method called Insulin Potentiation Therapy or IPT for short, whereby they only administer 10% of the standard chemo dose but it goes only to the cancer cells. I am sure if you google IPT or the full name you will get all kinds of explanations. My husband is getting it at Linchitz Medical Wellness, www.linchitzwellness.com the whole process is described on their web site. This is not instead of natural therapies, it is in addition to natural therapies. My husband still takes his curcumin, 5-loxin, resveratrol, grapeseed extract, graviola, cimetidine, AHCC, coroliolus PSP, ABM, CoQ10, Cod Liver Oil, pancreas enzymes, EGCG, and some other things. My husband is just starting but the patients we meet there attest to the fact that you do not get sick, you do not lose your hair, do not get nauseated. You feel perfectly fine. There are not many practitioners who are trained in this method, but if you decide you like what you read you may want to see if you can find a practitioner in your area that is trained in this method of administering chemo.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Sigh --- I was going to stay out of this because it's a little too close to home, but I can't. I had the same sort of scenario you have. Same symptoms, etc. The doctors did surgery to remove the ovaries and do a complete hysterectomy. They said I would not likely live more than 3 months, and that was even with chemotherapy. That was 2 years and 11 months ago.  Where I live, my options were very limited. I didn't have the funds to go to the US for treatment, and only traditional chemotherapy was available to me. I utilized it to buy time to find something better. While taking chemo I also took many nutritional supplements to support general health, and followed the Budwig diet. The chemo wasn't fun by any means, but it did its job for the short haul.  In the meantime I found other alternative methods of addressing the problem. You no doubt will learn that ovarian cancer is something that really never goes away, even if it has gone away! So while doing the chemo I added alternatives as I found them. These were cesium (from Advanced Scientific Health --- no doctor involved in monitoring it because none was available); LDN (because I finally found a doctor who was willing to prescribe it for me); Oleander from Utopia Silver when I discovered it; and FINALLY a doctor who does Vitamin C IVs. He also has me take a product called C-Statin, and Concentrated Flax Lignans. He has now agreed to order Vitamin B-17 for me and we are going to follow a protocol I found on the internet that is a blending of IV Vitamin C, IV and oral B-17, and several other oral meds. I also continue to take nutritional supplements for general well-beng.  Through this process my CA-125 (tumor marker) has dropped to normal. I am not going to have more scans, but just go on ultrasounds, blood work, and how I am feeling ---- which is perfectly healthy. But I shall continue to do all of the above though less intensely over time. I cut back on the Cesium because it is toxic if you get too much, and will only take maybe 30 grams a year from now on. My main things, for the rest of my life, will be the Flax Lignans, Vitamin C, Oleander, LDN, nutritional supplements, and Budwig-based diet.  My message here, I guess, is do whatever you have to do to stay alive while you find what is right for you. My alternative doctor (who I found after a 2-year long search) believes in hitting it with everything you've got, and sort out what worked or didn't work later on. It worked for me.  Good luck!

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 The establishment will have you believe that taking supplements of any kind will be detrimental to the chemo. This is not true. The supplements strengthen your own body's immune system so that your own body can #1 fight the cancer and #2 be stronger to withstand the harmful and poisonous effects of the chemo on your healthy cells. Any Physician who practices Complimentary and Alternative Medicine will encourage you to take supplements while undergoing chemo. However, Curcumin by itself is not enough, it is only one thing in the arsenal of natural immune enhancers that you need in your arsenal. If your mom is going to start taking supplements, I would encourage you to go to www.cancertutor.com for starters to start learning about the different things. From there continue researching on other sites.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 I agree. I had stage 4 Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2001 and was told it was very curable and as a result had chemo and radiation. I was officially pronounced in remission in early 2002. in August 2007 it was back with a vengence and I am once again at stage 4. I would never do it again if I had the chance to go back.  Debbie I just want to to add that even though there are a small number of cancers that are " curable " with chemo - chemo is still CHEMO, highly destructive and toxic and damaging to your immune system. So while you may " cure " the cancer, you are still doing serious damage to your system and raising your odds of another cancer showing up later.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 <<My thinking is, if these certain cancers are so easily curable with chemo, then their cure rates should be a lot higher and quicker with alternate methods>> Not true, because chemo works quite differently from alt. treatments. Of the (very few) types of cancer that have high full (and permanent) recovery rates from conventional chemo, some (e.g., testicular) are easily healed by alt. treatments, but others (e.g., Hodgkins, acute lymphocytic leukemia [ALL]) are very difficult (though far from impossible) to achieve full recoveries thru alt. treatment.

That is it. For nhl, every one should know it is temporary. And oncologists do not lie about it. I chose to do surgery for bc and then intensive alternative. At least the tumor was out. For nhl, I did nothing for ten years until it became aggressive. I choose chemo but I know it will come back . However, I am taking big alternative guns to max my survival. I am working with a coach doctor on this. cannot do it alone XO e > > > > I second Carol's opinion. Find a good alternative doctor who has a good reputation.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Hi a - If you are inclined to try something non-conventional but promising, there is a brand-new non-toxic, scientific treatment approach that is being tested now in a pilot clinical trial at a major cancer center in the US. This uses a very high dose of a natural lipid agent - several published biological studies, including tests with patients and also advanced assays using fresh human cancer tissue, indicate that once this high level of agent is reached, it will totally kill tumor anywhere in the body. It's something anyone can do by themselves for a cost of about $20 using high but tolerable doses of a dietary agent, via a biological trick to get very high levels of this agent in the blood in active form over a period of hours. This is based on a niche field of science, is being tested in a clinical trial, and follows the scientific method: no claims are made whatsoever that this is guaranteed to work, or that these unusually high levels of this otherwise non-toxic agent may not conceivably have adverse effects. If you tried this, after a month, it would either be successful, in which case tumor would be significantly shrunk, and it would be likely that another treatment or two could completely eliminate the tumor. Or, alternatively, it could completely fail, in which case nothing may change, and you could pursue other options, including potentially surgery with a combination then of best standard and complementary therapies. (Or, in worst case scenario, very high levels of this harmful agent could have unforeseen and potentially serious adverse effects.) The first patient (stage III ovarian cancer) who tried a lower-dose form of this regimen in 2006 had her CA-125 tumor marker drop in half afterwards. The second patient who tried this recently was told by hospice to prepare for death within weeks last December, and is still out and about today. This is a hopeful indication that the protocol was doable and didn't have adverse effects for her, and the situation is encouraging, yet scans actually showed slight growth of the tumor, and the next application of the regimen would use a higher dosage and a natural adjunct agent (a calcium ionophore), which the first patient used, to boost efficacy. Also, this second patient had a metastatic melanoma near the lung, whereas any tumor in the peritoneal cavity (a tumor on the ovaries) would be more likely to respond to an orally administered agent.
