Guest guest Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Thank you everyone for giving some very good advice to the questions I asked. My friend who is in 4th stage kidney/lung cancer is losing weight very rapidly. He is on several different protocols (Budwig/Celect, Rife etc.) and is off all sugars, animal protein and refined carbs. I want to know if anyone has used Hemp protein, Whey protein or Soy to put on weight but not feed the cancer. I need something to really get some weight on him but won¢t feed or even encourage cancer to grow. Thanks Seth Hi, seth, I've recently read online that blood markers for cancer might go up temporarily while natural cancer remedies are working. A Navarro Urine test is supposed to avoid this problem. I don't know this of my own experience, just what I've read. L'Chaim, Rhoda Seth, Many diseases have an emotional component. Oncologist Bernie Siegle wrote a book titled Love, Medicine, and Miracles which chronicles his discoveries about the emotional components of cancer. I don't know if this is related to your friend's reaction but it is worth exploring. I learned many years ago that diseases can often be seen to be the creations of individuals in response to stresses in life. Just as some people may use drugs or alcohol to help them cope with stress, some people get a disease. I have heard of rather violent reactions some have had to having their disease threatened. I have also seen people in recovery from a disease stop everything that is facilitating the recovery and return to the disease state as it has become part of their identity. This may all be subconscious, but the subconscious is a dumb beast that will act as if it has been attacked if it has created a disease in what it perceives to be a protective measure. I recommend exploring Holodynamics www.holodynamics. com and the Emotional Freedom Technique www.emofree. com/ Ruth Posted by: "seth sato" sethsato sethsato Sat Sep 20, 2008 6:56 am (PDT) I have a friend who is in stage 4 cancer (kidney and lung) and is on a variety of different protocols. He recently received his order for Oleander Pills and tried one pill for 2 days. He had a very bad emotional and mental reaction. He said it took him to a very dark and emotional scary place, kind of like having a very bad drug trip. Has anyone ever experienced this before or even know what this might be? I would also like to know what the stages of cancer might be (symptoms, reactions etc.) for those treating cancer naturally. I do not know the forms of detox for cancer, if they are any different than that of any other disease one treats alternatively.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Hello Seth, I have read that radiation can cause cachexia, so it may be difficult to know if it's the cancer or the "therapy". I don't know from personal experience, but here is some information I have. Some of it is old information, but I am sure that someone will know if this is still relevant. This presumably, was in conjunction with allopathic poisoning, so it should be a lot more effective with the more natural approach! ·FISH OILS: Podell, R. N. Fish oil slows cancer cachexia. Health & Nutrition Breakthroughs. June 1998. · Tisdale, M., et al. Inhibition of weight loss by omega-3 fatty acids in an experimental cachexia model. Cancer Research. 50:5022-5026, 1990. Fish Oils significantly decreased the loss of body weight caused by cachexia, and at the same time, muscle mass was significantly increased. This experiment involved animals. · Tisdale, M. J Nat Cancer Inst. 89: 1763-1773, 1997. · Wigmore, S., et al. Nutrition. 12(1 Supplement):S27-S30, 1996. 18 patients with inoperable pancreatic cancer were given 12,000 mg of fish oil capsules (containing 18% EPA + 12% DHA) per day. All patients had been losing an average of 3 pounds per month prior to receiving fish oil capsules. During the first three months of supplementation, the average weight of patients increased by 2/3 pound per month. Eleven patients gained weight, three experienced no change in their weight and four patients continued to lose weight. Researchers demonstrated that weight gain was not caused by fluid retention. The authors concluded: “Oral fish-oil supplementation significantly altered the progression of cachexia in a group of pancreatic cancer patients. Before supplementation, all of the study group experienced progressive weight loss; however, following administration of fish oil, three-quarters of the group were either weight-stable or actually gained a small amount of weight. It is unlikely that the observed changes in weight were caused by a placebo effect since administration of gamma-linoleic acid (GLA) to a matched group of weight-losing pancreatic cancer patients had no significant influence on the overall pattern of weight loss”. FERMENTED YEAST: Bio-Strath or Haelen 951 Schwarzenbach, F.H., et al. [Effects of a herbal yeast preparation in convalescent patients.] Schweizerische Zeitschrift fur Ganzheits Medizin. 8(6):266-273, 1996. AMINOS: Cangiano, C., et al. Effects of administration of oral branched chain amino acids on anorexia and caloric intake in cancer patients. J Natl Canc Instit. 88:550-552, 1996. Supplementation with BCAAs reduces the anorexia and improves the overall food intake of cancer patients experiencing cachexia. · Kalman, D. S. Branched-chain amino acids: your key to enhanced performance and fat loss. Muscular Development. 36(9):60-62, 1999. BOVINE CARTILAGE: meant to retard cachexia. No independent info on this, I'm sorry. Does anyone know if this a worthwhile site? http://www.tumorx.org/prostate-cancer.html It mentions this inhibits cancer cell proliferation, but not cachexia specifically. You'd need a clean supply if this is a viable option. BioRenue Bovine Cartilage: Cartilage has been studied for over 30 years. Clinical trials have supported the assertion that BioRenue Bovine Cartilage will stop/inhibit the spread, growth and proliferation of cancer cells. A study published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine by Brem and Folkman showed that: Cartilage decreased the rate in which new blood vessels were formed by 75%. In 28% of patients who used BioRenue Bovine Cartilage this natural substance completely inhibited new blood vessel formations to the tumor .e.g., stopped the cancer from metastasizing. All the best to you & your friend who is fortunate to have your loving care! Would that we all had such a friend. Luckily we all have our oleander friends! Maracuja ..

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 I learned that more good fat and oils will slow down the weight loss as well as egg white's.I ate more often and foods like Fava beans and Garbonzo's with garlic (soup) and then floated oil on the top with toasted pine nuts.It was so good and healthy too.I tried to find anything I could add oil to.I stopped losing weight. Just a suggestion from my own experience.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Seth, Seth, Spirulina is very good for anyone having nutritional problems. It has been used by the WHO for malnourished babies in third world countries because it takes almost no digestion and has a very balanced nutritional profile. Some people have actually lived on it for extended periods of time. It contains all essential amino acids making it a complete protein source which is rare in plants. It is high in B complex and contains several carotenes including Beta carotene as well as a phycocyanine, a pigment that has a strong anti-cancer effect. It is also high in minerals except for calcium. It contains Omega 3s and a sugar known as rhamnose, which is known as a carrier that will transport substances into cells. (Rhamnose is added to some drugs to assist in their delivery into cells.) And of course it is also high in chlorophyll which means that it should be started in small doses to avoid a big detox reaction. Spirulina seems to help with a lot of the problems that affect cancer patients including ameliorating effects of traditional medical treatments. I recommend that it be used in powdered form and blended with juices, fresh made organic vegetable juice being the preference. As I mentioned in another post, my favorite variety is Sprulina Maxima. It is available from several outlets but I tracked it down to the importer who also supplies the other companies and it was cheaper to get it from them. They are a small company in New Mexico http://www.elixline.com Another thing to consider is aloe vera. There is a long chain polysaccharide (acetylated polymannose or acemannen) in aloe that is very healing, helps reduce side effects of drugs and increases the effectiveness of both nutrients and drugs. It is also very helpful for the digestive tract. Not all aloe products are processed in such a way as to preserve this compound. I have heard that Lily of the Desert has tested to be high in acemannen. There is a pharmaceutical company that extracts this chemical and adds it to various human and animal products. They also make it available alone as Manapole. If you do an internet search you will find it. If you do a search on the various names for this compound you will turn up quite a list of research on it including it's anti-viral effects.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 About a third of my practice is in weightloss, and it works great if you remedy the underlying disorder, most of the time it's heat in the ST meridian w indiscriminate gnawing hunger. I also see people with sugar addictions similar to alcohol addictions, liver depression, or damp heat. I gear the herbs to the condition. Qing wei san for St heat, Grennexcellence, a Healthconcerns product for suagr addiction, I also use Spirulina to reduce cravings. I use a counseling method called " Motivational Interviewing " and ask the patient what they think needs to change. Research has shown that overweight people have all the notional info they need and they know heat they need to do. It doesn't work to just repeat what they have heard 1000x. Ask them more indirectly: Why do you think you are not making the changes? What would it take to make a change? Once they talk about the changes they WANT to make, it become more likely that they will actually change their behavior. It needs to be an inner orientation, instead of something they are told by someone else. repeated studies have shown that if you divide study participants into those that receive acupuncture and those who don't and give everyone the same dietary advice, the acupuncture group loses about twice as much weight as the control group.
