Guest guest Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 Maryann, I feel I'm sticking my neck out here getting into a very highly controversial subject. ### its a very political issue with all kinds of propaganda. Courts just ruled a couple of weeks ago they can't but the politics are still there. A lot of the research and opinion has not even been published due to fear. But there is something that not only helps extremely well with the nausea and pain, from what I understand it seems to help heal the damage done to receptor cells from the toxins in the drugs. People with cancer who use it during treatment have much much higher rates of remission. I don't have a license to be taken away. http://content.health.msn.com/content/article/70/80972.htm http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve & db=PubMed & list_uids=1\ 4529462 & dopt=Abstract http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve & db=PubMed & list_uids=1\ 4519710 & dopt=Abstract http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve & db=PubMed & list_uids=1\ 2965981 & dopt=Abstract - " Maryann Call " <wocall Monday, November 03, 2003 5:17 PM HELP > Son starts treatment tomorrow with interferon ribavirin nasty stuff side effects are extreme nasaue sp?? he has been throwing up for 2 years now off and on taken every medication known to man can anyone tell me something to calm stomach down so this treatment wont be as horrific as we ve heard i m gonna get him ginger ale and snaps to munch on i know that helps some but dont know if it will for something this serious any info will be appreciated i HATE medications dont trust hardly any of them thanks mary > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 ginger ale is made without ginger nowadays. As are ginger flavored cookies. There is a ginger candy, found in Oriental food markets called Ting Ting Jahe, that is made from ginger and sugar only. The flavor is a bit more hot than sweet, but you can make a tea from the candy by dissolving in hot water, If you cannot find the candy where you live, there is a site on the internet that sells them called wing hop fung. Do an internet search to find their site. They sell it for about half the price that Oriental groceries sell it for. We swear by it here. Used to have a lot of acid reflux and indigestion. No more. Works better IMHO than any prescription that I've ever taken. Chamomile tea is also very soothing. Tastes a bit like apples. If your son does not like hot tea, make iced tea from it. Don't know how his diet is, but try cutting out fats and dairy. Hope this helps and all turns out well. windflower Maryann Call <wocall wrote: Son starts treatment tomorrow with interferon ribavirin nasty stuff side effects are extreme nasaue sp?? he has been throwing up for 2 years now off and on taken every medication known to man can anyone tell me something to calm stomach down so this treatment wont be as horrific as we ve heard i m gonna get him ginger ale and snaps to munch on i know that helps some but dont know if it will for something this serious any info will be appreciated i HATE medications dont trust hardly any of them thanks mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
