I just received this letter from a client who had about a 2 year

bout with throat cancer. He did not smoke and exercised and had a

healthier than normal Western lifestyle. I talked to him earlier in

his ordeal and as you can see from his letter, he did not follow my

advice. He is predominately pitta dosha and his main problem right

now is his digestion. I already adviced him to do a pitta pacifying

diet with some exercises and digestion poses. Does anyone have any

formulas they would recommend for his digestion and resulting

heartburn, etc.? Also, recommendations for alternatives to

radiation. I gave him some alternatives to surgery and radiation

before he had surgery but as you can see he did not follow my advice

on that either. The information I gave him earlier mainly consisted

of diet and lifestyle changes. Since he is American, maybe he will

be more apt to take a pill or an herbal formula someone here can

recommend.

Here is the letter:

 

First of all, I really appreciated the information you had sent for

my neck/cancer problems. Hence, since all of that, I went ahead with

the final surgery (hopefully) and had the complete laryngectomee.

The operation was tough but I am recovering OK. The doctor is

pleased with the final margins. The tumor review board advises

additional radiation though. I am NOT convinced that i will do more

radiation and would like your advice about that as well as the

following.

 

One of the end results of the surgery was having a feeding tube into

my stomach via down the esophagus. I don't know if it was the tube

causing irritation but my stomach has been messed up since. It feels

like the valve of the stomach will not let the food I have eaten in

all at once, whereas if I bend over to pick something up, some of

the food comes back up my esophagus and I spit it out. This may last

up to one half hour after I have eaten. It's not very nice. Plus

lot's of burping and a bloating feeling several after eating.

 

I have since been taking an acidophilus complex - live cultures.

Also I have taken my ENT's perscription of Nexium 40mgs twice a day.

 

Nothing has improved though.
