Could you speak more about palliative care?

[Guest guest]

One thing we don't do well here in the West is palliative care for the

dying. My 89 year old grandmother just found out she has lung cancer

and is too frail for chemo and radiation. She weighs maybe 88 pounds

or so. The doctors have said they will make sure she is in no pain,

but I really do not believe them, because they couldn't do that with

her arthritis, so how will they do that with lung cancer? I don't know

what stage she is in, but hospice is already setting up to deal with

her in her nursing home and they usually don't step in here unless a

doctor has estimated a person will live 6 months or less. What kind of

palliative care is appropriate in such a case? My grandmother has

always been a woman of strong spiritual beliefs and I think that helps

somewhat when facing death. I just had another friend die of lung

cancer in Southern California and she had trouble getting the doctors

to give her enough pain medication because her insurance would only

pay for so much and she was poor. I am very worried. My grandmother

has the same insurance (medicare/medicaid) that my friend had.

89 or 98 makes no difference. Our bodies have natural healing

capacity if right nutrition is given in right amount. No system is

cure-all, but if a system is found, what happens to it can be read at

Several links below the above page and also some querries on

group "cancercured" at may give some help. Though we do have

PanchGavya medicines here for lung cancer, they are under evaluation

prior to approval, hence not exportable.

 

But natural juice therapies, especially wheat grass juice can be

recommended. Several more options may be found at above website. Many

of the dietary protocols given there are already seen successful with

slight modifications in cancer camps in India. In this country, some

hopitals now have alternative departments also.
