Guest guest Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Noni is one amonth the top ten of more than 300 alternative therapies for cancer. Check www.noniassociation.net you will find more details about noni and cancer. Along wioth noni, also take Goji Berry juice. It will help a lot and control the growth of cancer. It will help against the side effects of chemo therapy. All the best.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 You might want to try " N-Acetyl Cysteine " . Be sure that you check to be sure that any of the drugs that he is taking does not have a negative interaction with his traditional meds. N-Acetyl Cysteine is sometimes given with lung transplants. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/419210 I have ILD and I heard about it on the COPD-Board http://copd-support1.com/ Lots of good information in this group. I was on oxygen 24/7 a year ago and now only use it at night. For me one of the most important thing I had to learn is not to listen to the dire messages that pulmonary doctors give out. They tell you that you will never get " better " and that you can only work to maintain this level. I was a non smoker but they even tell smokers that their lungs will get " better " if they quit smoking and within years they can catch up to non smokers. The other thing that I found was very important for me was to eliminate all simple sugars and limit complex carbohydrates to a respectable level and eat with a little protein if possible. Carbs generate a lot of carbon dioxide that rob the blood of oxygen and that makes you short of breath. My daughter's father in law started through this last year and is coming along quite well but his major issue to tackle was wanting to eat at all and he was a string bean to begin with. Keep a positive outlook and if he is willing learn to do the breathing exercises that I have on my website. Lots of men on the forum above and they all attest to how essential breathing exercises are. Don't start any of the exercises until the doctor gives the go ahead and if they suggest rehabilitation, do it. That was a real turning point for me. When I entered I could only walk about 250 feet in ten minutes with full oxygen support. When I finished, I could walk three times that far without oxygen and it was only 6 weeks long. Some of the people in the group above have had differing types of lung disease for over 20 years and are still living good lives, albeit a little slower. http://www.challengeyourhealth.com/breathing_techniques.htm Best of luck, Vivian _____ On Behalf Of Tinkerpie Thursday, November 09, 2006 7:53 PM Alterbatuve answers Intro and question on suppliments for Chemo and Radaditon treatments Im a 54yr old wife of a now newly dignosed lung cancer husband who started Radadition today and Chemo Monday..this will be daily of both for at least 6 or more weeks..im big on herbs and suppliments..and id like to no if there are any suggestions on what he could take to boost his system?His PET scan showed no more cancer anywhere which is a blessing..his liver and kidneys had benighn or cycsts on them and I had him start on the MilkThisle in Aug when that showed up...I just seen in the paper a few weeks ago about Grape Seed slowing down the growth rate of tumors..and I take it regulary but he doesnt...I have a lot of suppliments and if anyone would like to suggest maybe some things id be very open to that...Thank you..BoniW-IN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Hi! May I make a suggestion? I sell a great product that contains grapeseed extract, pine bark extract, and red wine extract (together called OPC's) These are the some of the most potent antioxidants out there and many have had great results using them! I sell this product to anyone that is breathing but it is especially helpful for anyone suffering anything from seasonal allergies to immune deficiency disorders (MS for example). It is not a cure all but it certainly can help your husband fight his battle-- especially since his immune system is weak from his treatment -- and help his body put the cancer back into regression. If you are interested you may contact me at this email address: smwensel with any questions and I could direct you to my website so you may take a look at the product. I would like your permission first as I myself hate unwarranted solicitation. I hope all goes well for you and your husband!

Tahitian noni is an all natural dietary supplement, and it makes no medical claims, even though it is listed in the 2003, 2005 and 2007 medical pdr for non perscription drugs and dietary supplements. However I know a couple of friends who swear it made their tumors completeley disappear, one who said chemo was a breeze with the boost they got in their imune system from the juice, and here we gave it to our dog who was riddled with tumors and we actually saw a tumor disappear within weeks! I swear by it for everything for asthma to allergies, headaches to menstral cramps, cuts scrapes and even acne. I love my juice! Hope it helps you too!

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Tinkerpie asked: Im a 54yr old wife of a now newly dignosed lung cancer husband who started Radadition today and Chemo Monday..this will be daily of both for at least 6 or more weeks..im big on herbs and suppliments.. and id like to no if there are any suggestions on what he could take to boost his system? Hi Tinkerpie, what is your name? The reason chemotherapy is so deadly, is that it kills ALL fast-growing cells, including the cells in the mucous membranes of the digestive system. So just when you really need to keep your strength up, you cannot absorb food properly. So you need foods that are absorbed without much work by the body. Live juices are one of the best things to do. Someone just posted a link to Gerson. Indeed! Important: get a certain kind of juicer that does NOT work by spinning things outwards. Another food that many Cancer patients have used with great success while undergoing chemo etc is BlueGreen Algae. The wild stuff from Upper Klamath Lake. It may be the most complete food in the world, in supplement form. A little bit goes a long way. Ask me for details off list. (ienvan) Or look into Spirulina, a tamer and less potent cousin. Other Cancer patients swear by Noni juice or the Aloe Vera-based Ambrotose to keep them going. Ask for Guidance and Follow your intuition. In Traditional Chinese medicine the lungs are said to be the partner meridian of the large intestine. ( I know little about TCM, but that one comes up amazingly often) So you want to look into herbs that support both. Slippery Elm is healing and soothing to the mucous membranes, and it is cheap and readily available. It is part of the Essiac formula. Una de Gato is great for both lungs and large intestines, and has been used as treatment for inoperable brain tumors by some doctors. I'll have to check to see if it can be used in conjunction with chemo, but it would be great afterwards for sure. Sangre de Drago is the ultimate healing herb and also has some cancer fighting properties. You are not helpless, and good onya for taking control! PS One more thing: TAP on it. Emotional Freedom Technique will help to support anything else you do. Best of all, it is quite literally at your fingertips and you can learn it for free. http://www.emofree.com/a/?875 Ien in the Kootenays http://profiles./free_green_living Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
