Thanks to Dr. Jacobs and Colleen for permission to forward this over.

 

I forwarded it over because it underscores the importance of knowing what

you are working with and the importance of individualizing treatment. There

are no one size fits all therapies.

>1. Diet & Nutrition- There are a number of reasons why you can't make

>to

>eat balanced meals of wholesome foods. Food, in itself, is medicine. One

>example (and I could state several) is that you don't necessarily want to

>go

>ahead and remove all meat from the diet and have the patient eat only

>tofu/soy for a protein source. What if the cancer is ER+ (estrogen

>receptor

>positive)? Could be bad news.

>2. Oils - Research show that nutritional oils such as flax oil and other

>polyunsaturated essential fatty acid sources can actually increase the risk

>of certain cancers and even stimulate the growth of certain cancers.

>Bottom

>line, you need to find out what you're dealing with.

>3. Western herbs - You got me there. Maybe you know something I don't

>know. I, however; don't know of any western or eastern herbs that can

>effectively combat all cancers. Herbs are potent medicines. They have

>distinct pharmacologic (and energetic) effect on the body. Sometimes the

>effect is undesireable such as, for example again, the effect herbs with

>estrogenic activity have on stimulating ER+ cancer cells.

>the use of herbs know to treat specific cancers and tumors based upon

>research and anecdotal knowledge. The other angle incorporates the more

>traditional method of using the most appropriate prescription based upon

>the

>patients complete intake information (which you say you don't have).

>Overlaying these approaches has led to miraculous results in some cases,

>significant improvement in many cases and failure in the rest of the cases.

>Complexety of results unfortunately reflects the complicated nature of

>these

>diseases.

>In dealing with this patient in the future, I would suggest urging her to

>greatly enhance her chances of attaining successful results from your

>treatments. Tell her that you'd rather not risk doing her harm by making

>shots in the dark -so to speak.
