Guest guest Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 There is no such thing as " he was given 6-9 months to live " No one has an expiration stamp on their head. What the doctors mean is that in their opinion and based on past experiences if he does nothing or follows what they suggest that is the usual time framework that people last. But that is ridiculous because there are so many alternatives out there that treat and help cancer patients and most people can go on for many years if they fortify their body and their immune system. My husband was diagnosed with stage IV Lung Cancer at the end of August and this is what he is doing with great success. 1) Change you diet completely. Cut out all sugar -- cancer cells thrive on sugar 2) Stop eating anything that is processed or with preservatives. Eat only fresh organic vegetables. Eat very little meat and only organic grass fed meat. Only Wild Salmon if you eat fish. 3) My husband never smoked but if your friend smokes he must stop immediately because nothing will help him if he continues to smoke 4) Now start researching thoroughly all the different treatments that are available. I will give you several great websites to start with and then you can go from there. Check out http://nccam.nih.gov/health/whatiscam/ http://curezone.com/diseases/cancer/faq.htm http://alternativecancer.us/ http://www.natural-oncology.org/about.htm http://www.cancertutor.com/ These are but a few you can find many many more if you take the time to check things out. There are many people whose doctors told them they had 6 months to live who went on to live 16. Doctors don't kinow everything. You have to educate yourself.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010   Hi ,         The alternative medicine I found useful for my mother who has stage 4 ovarian and breast cancer is the mushrooms with beta- glucans like agaricus, ganoderma and you may want to look for maitake and shitake mushrooms which boost the immune system, research about beta glucans, they might help plus other alternatives like omega 3 fatty acids and lysine which not only help cachexia or patient getting thinner but also are anti oxidant that help the immune system as well. My mother is on conventional medicine as well - letrozole( hormone treatment that lowers estrogen that feeds the cancer cells). My mom is not on chemo but she is on her 3rd year after diagnosis of stage 4 cancer. The trend now is immunotherapy, research about that as well, it is true that chemotherapy may be the cause of death of cancer patients due to complications from what I observe with other patients. There was a patient who was cured of stage 4 skin cancer because of skin cancer as in she is on remmission, I forgot the website but I'll write again for info, although immunotherapy is expesive but I see as a potential answer for cancer. I am a former medical student before by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
