Glioblstoma brain tumor

[Guest guest]

My boyfriend was recently diagnosed with Glioblastoma tumor..

he just had surgery this past thursday, and is still in the hospital.

it was bloody and very veiny....i understand this type tumor is very

aggressive....he could of had it as little as 6mos ago. developing...

 

i here they have a drug called Trombar? that they give with chemo to kill the

cancer cells.....

 

can anyone give me any help in treatment and what is best that would prolong his

life??

research? that has helped people with this type tumor?? clinical trials that

have worked?

 

he is in Dartmouth Hitchkock hospital up here in Lebenon NH

 

Please HELP

Dr. Simoncini has been nearly 100% effective in treating all types of

brain cancer. You may be able to find an alternative Dr. in the US who

could follow his protocol and save his life. Search his name.

Did a search once for personal reasons as well. At the end it was not necessary,

but here is what I found for what is worth.

 

The book " Love, Medicine, and Miracles " by Bernie Siegel proved to be very

useful. Another interesting book that a person with glioblastoma once

recommended was " The Scalpel and the Soul " by Dr. Hamilton.

 

Here is Dr. Simoncini's website: http://www.curenaturalicancro.com/

He is in Rome, but perhaps he has a list of practitioners in the US.

 

As for other alternative treatments, most of the research is still on the

drawing table and I focused on European centers, since that is my location. But

here is what I found, in case you find it useful. (My research was done this

last Summer). I don't know if your doctors are open minded enough, but I'll

include some references FWIW:

 

CANNABIS derivatives

 

This is not about smoking pot!! As it gets deposited in blood brain barrier fat

bilayer in such a way that it limits the uptake of the cannabis into the brain.

People who smoke are still susceptible of developing brain tumors just like

anybody else with the genetic and environmental predisposition. In fact, smoking

pot numbs the emotions which is escapism, not a good approach in general.

 

It has to be injected cannabis compounds into the brain liquid ( " intratecal " ).

And a nonpsychoactive Cannabinoid compound is proving to be the most useful.

 

It basically cuts the nourishment of the tumor itself and also inhibits tumor

growth working at the DNA level and within the cell's biological cycle.

ANTIOXIDANTS

 

There are those who think that gliomas have superantioxidants that help them

survive and resist chemo and radiotherapy. And there are those who make the

most sense, who say that antioxidants are needed to repair the malignant glioma

cell's transduction systems and DNA. It seems that the ones " against

antioxidants " have the typical killer mentality of allopathic medicine, of using

chemo and radiotherapy and they also ignore or don't mention the role of NF

kappa B (NFKB) in the whole mess. This NFKB is like a trojan horse, it was

supposed to help but ends up actually screwing everything up, changing normal

cells into malignant ones.

 

There is research on antioxidants in general, like melatonin and

N-acetylcysteine (NAC) AKA mucomyst (which is a source of glutathione) and

gliomas. It is interesting because after giving NAC, they also gave a drug which

opposes glutathione's effects to see what happened (this was not made in

humans), and the NAC was still able to shrink the glioma. So NAC might be a

better source than glutathione itself.

 

Alpha lipoic acid. Here is a link with synthesized info:

http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/infocenter/othernuts/la/

 

It takes care of the trojan horse NF kappa B (which has a huge role in gliomas)

and repairs DNA. It is both water and fat soluble, so it also crosses the blood

brain barrier very easily. It is the source of glutathione and it should be

coupled with Vit E (fat soluble, hence, crosses more easier the blood brain

barrier), Vit C (what is tolerated), a very good multivitamin/multimineral, Vit

D, B Complex, Selenium, COQ10, magnesium and omega 3 (flaxseed oil and fish

oil). There are actually studies showing that vit D shrinks gliomas when used

on toxic doses, so they're trying to use analogs of Vit D that bypass the toxic

effect.

 

Melatonin. At high doses and as an antioxidant, shrinks gliomas and takes care

also of the trojan horse NF kappa B in gliomas.

 

N-acetyl cystein (NAC). It works at the cell's cycle level, repairing DNA and

taking care of the trojan horse NF kappa B in gliomas.

AMYGDALIN (LAETRILE OR B17)

 

It is poisonous to cancer cells, but not to normal cells. It seems that the

best route is oral supplements because it needs to get transformed into its

active form in the intestines. Its basically a cyanogenic glycoside, and

apparently cyanide poisoning with this therapy is anecdotal and/or questionable.

 

There is info on the web, where they had used LAETRILE in glioblastomas with

success. Someone told me that people go to Mexico for this treatment, but I

really don't know for sure.

 

SCORPION VENOM (?!)

 

" The dried scorpion whole body (Quan Xie) has been widely used in

traditional Chinese medicine based on the Chinese herbalism `combat poison with

poison'. Even at the present time, it is still used as a drug to treat

neurological symptoms, such as painful headaches, convulsion, seizures,

swellings and paralysis. Scorpion venom contains a vast number of substances

with different biomedical and pharmacological activity[...] " [scorpion venom

Journal of Neuro-Oncology (2005) 73: 1–7]

 

 

INHIBITORS OF THE G6PT (which has to do with glucose metabolism and anticancer

nutrients working at that level)

 

G6PT seems to play a role in regulating glioma cell survival and invasiveness.

Curcumin and Green tea's EGCg (epigallocatechin-3-gallate ) and green coffee

bean's CHA (chlorogenic acid).

Dr. Johanna Budwig's diet is a good one, and I've read positive results with it

from people with glioblastomas. Some people who didn't discarded meat from

their Budwig's diet also had positive results, but they limited their quantities

and stick to better qualities. And I personally prefer to stay away from all

dairy products, including cottage cheese.
