Re: Combination Low Dose Naltrexone (oral) and Alpha Lipoic Acid (IV) for cancer

[Guest guest]

, I have spent the last couple of hours reading the transcript and

additional info on ALA and LDN and your story about your husband and his use of

silverton. Were you able to use the ALA and/or LDN on your husband?

I have colon cancer with mets to liver & lungs and am highly interested in

finding out where IV ALA might be obtained. Would a naturopath be the proper

place to begin looking? Im in Orlando. My onco might be willing to prescribe

the LDN, but I'm not sure.

Thank you.

Please take the time to read the transcript of my interview with Dr. Berkson. I

think you will be impressed.

Hi Toni,

I'm in Orlando as well. I'm interested in finding out what you learn about

local oncologists prescribing LDN.

Best of luck to you.

Hi Ar,

What type of cancer do you have? Have you had chemo or radiation or are you

going alternative all the way?

I am in contact with who handled the intereview wth Dr. Berkson and I

Hi Toni,

I had breast cancer. I was a vegetarian raw foodist doing all alternative stuff

for years prior to being diagnosed. So, I decided to do lumpectomy plus

radiation. Now I'm trying to use alternatives to correct what went wrong.

I have a doctor in Lakeland who would probably prescribe LDN. When I was

diagnosed, he handed me a list of alternative treatments and told me he wasn't

actually allowed to discuss any of them with me.

I also have my local GP who is an osteopath would probably would prescribe it.

Let me know what you learn.

Thanks,

Hey Toni! If you go to the Group LDN_4_Cancer, you can join that group

and the list moderator, at your request, will send you a list of LDN-prescribing

drs in your area. Most doctors will not prescribe naltrexone for cancer.

Hi ar,

I received diagnosis 2 days ago that I have early stage IDC in one breast.

Surgery for lumpectomy is June 17th followed by radiation. I do NOT want the

radiation!! And absolutely will not do chemo if that suggestion comes around

later.

Can I ask what went wrong as per your note below and what, through your

experience, you - OR OTHERS HERE - might recommend instead?

I donated a kidney 3 years ago and am doing very well (other than this breast

cancer). Therefore chemical treatments will be doubly bad for my one remaining

kidney.

I've always exercised and eaten well, non-smoker etc but in last 2 weeks have

switched to all organic foods, lots of raw fruits and veggies and am doing a TCM

liver cleans with herbs along with acupuncture. BTW, I will be 49 this summer.

Hi Barbara,

I'm so sorry about your diagnosis.

I also did NOT want radiation. Finally, after researching a lot, and speaking

to different doctors, I decided to do it. I don't regret the radiation at all.

Though sometimes I do feel a bit ill at ease about all the radiation.

As to what went wrong in my body, a raw food, vegegarian diet did nothing to

deal with the fact that my body did not remove excess estrogen. So, I began

using calcium D-Glucarate to do that. I also discovered that I was low in

iodine. Go to http://www.breastcancerchoices.org to learn more.

I also learned that I have adrenal fatigue, which contributes to development of

breast cancer.

Bottom line, a raw food diet will NOT fix all cancer causing conditions. It

truly bothers me to see people saying that it will. So, definitely do it to

detox, but do not rely on diet alone to keep cancer away. I will not be naive

again.

Keep doing what you are doing. Keep that kidney healthy. Acupuncture should be

great for that, too. I'm glad you are doing it.

Hey Arlyn, how did you learn you were low in iodine? Did you do the loading

test? I've been on 200mg/day for probably a year now and I am now hypo w/a

goiter .... WHAT?

Hi ,

Yes, I did the iodine loading test. Unfortunately, I have not been able to

retest, so I stopped taking the iodine. Out of money, you know.

You're hypo now? Wow. Are you sure you are hypo? Sometimes goiters can be

caused by too much hormone as well as too little. What are your lab results?

HI Arlyn, my TSH is 1.83 (I do better around 1. FT4 is 0.69 and ref ranges is

..77-1.61. So though my TSH is normal, I feel better when it's around 1 ... and

my FT4 is still a bit low. I feel better when it's at least 1. I'm taking 60mg

day of Armour ...

,

It sounds as if you need a little boost.

I do best under 1, too.

I'm concerned about the goiter, though. What does your doctor say?

She's not concerned ... just had an ultrasound and she just said if it gets

bigger to let her know. Of course, she's the twit that practically turns

herself inside out when she sees how low my LDL cholesterol is ... says she

wishes SHE had those numbers (59). Little moron has no clue about the inverse

relationship between low cholesterol and cancer. Dohhhhhh! I've had one ever

since I had Graves ...

Hi ,

Doctors are funny. My cholesterol was always very high. Three

years after going vegetarian, it finally dropped to below 200.

Currently it's around 160 (total) and my doctor wants it down another 30

points. Is he crazy? It's perfect right where it is. If I was a

meat-eating couch potato that feasted at Mcs every night, then

that would be one thing. But that's not me.

Sorry about the goiter. I had one when my sub-acute thyroiditis

happened. I guess there's not much you can do about it. Meanwhile, can

you take a little bit of synthetic T4 to raise your T4 level?

All my best,

ar
