Thanks

hi all,

i am 35 years old from asia. lindatio is not my real name. sorry my english is not so good. i found this website after i googling. i promise to myself that i must share to all the world who suffer from cancer especially for breast cancer. I have breast cancer 4 years ago, i already do chemo and chemo almost 3 times and my head almost bold. i almost desperate for this suck disease. I am googling out and luckily i found one blog that explain about breast cancer. And some of the people who wrote in the blog consume one medicine called "Typhonium Plus". so i try to research what is Typhonium Plus. After research about 1 month, i decide to try typhonium plus. after i consume 2 boxes there's no changes on my breas, but after the third box my breast become black. i am so panic. i call my doctor and she told me the black one is cancer cell that already dead. huh.. surprise me. now i already consume it 7 months and the black cell slow but sure become brown again ( same like skin ) and my breast become normal again. but my doctor said, i must consume it continuously until the cell really gone. it's my lucky and miracle that i can cure from breast cancer. start from that day i promise to share this info to all over the world regardless you believe or not. Cause i know the pain for a girl/woman missing their breast.

Hi all

When you have started your new life style plans have you gone cold turkey or did you slowly work your way into it so that your bodies could adjust.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in Jan 08 and then in March 08 found out it had matisized to my spine.  I was  given 5 days of rads which made me really sick and then have been on Tamoxifen ever since.

Since then I have put on about 15-20 kilos in weight, Im always tired and at the moment have had the flu for the last ten days....

Im sick of being sick....I want to be as healhy as I can....

Ive read that some of you are taking  Lyzine so that you dont get sick, can you take it once you are sick to help you get better quicker???

I have tried to clean out my cupboards of any junk food and try to buy fresh fruit and veges when I can....but organic food is very expensive here...Im not a great meat eater so havent really noticed that going from my diet.  Im eating cottage cheese....is that OK???

I take 1000mg Vitamin C in the morning and at night, and I take omega 3 & 6 every morning and I take a Multivitamin every morning, and also curcumin.  And last but not least I take a high dose melatonin tablet at night.

The other thing that Im going back to is refractionated Pectin Powder, this is very good, it works like this....

Your cancer cells have a sticky membrane around them that attract each other and allow them to stick together to form tumours and lumps, refractionated pectin powder destroys the sticky membrane, thus the cancer cells dont stick to each other.  If you decide to try it, its easy to take you just mix with with some juice and drink it once a day.  Make sure you get refractionated pectin powder....as normal pectin powder does not disolve and does not work in the same way.

Any advice would be appreciated

Beastybabe...How about some Vitamin D? It's necessary for immune support and many of us are very deficient in it. Ask your doctor to check your Vit. D level and if it's low ask how much you should add via supplements. Vit. D is fat soluble so at high doses it can be toxic which is why it is important to check your levels. I'm taking 5000 iu/day. I went through chemo(Sept.-Nov.) and radiation(Nov.-Jan.) and although all around me had colds and the flu this winter I was fine. I'm thinking the D helped.

Beasty-I have mentioned this many times, but one of the books that really helped me was by Dr. Ray Strand "What your Doctor Doesn't know about Nutrition May be Killing You". He gives a lot of great information about what to eat and why we need to add supplements. He does not refer to bc specifically, but feels that all disease is related to nutrition. Also, join us over on the natural girls and motivation threads, where I think we are really helping each other.

Hi to all:

Has anyone heard of or done any treatment with the CANCER TREATMENT CENTERS OF AMERICA?  They do offer alternative therapies for treatment and wanted to know if anyone has had contact or received treatment from there. Thanks

My impression of Cancer Treatment Centers of America is that they are committed to finding some way to treat (i.e. "bill") you, whether or not it will do any good.

Modified Citrus Pectin is called just that in Canada as well and is a completely different product from FlorEssence.  It is also one of the supplements that I am taking.  Here's the blurb about modified citrus pectin that my naturopath gave me when recommending it:

Modified Citrus Pectin is a "super nutrient" used in the treatment of many cancers, primarily to prevent metastatic spread and tumour growth.  It directly attacks abnormal cells, thereby reducing the disease, and at the same time has properties that boost the overall health of the individual.  Cancer cells are different from normal body cells in a number of important ways.  First, and foremost, they have lost their ability to control the "cell cycle" (the natural cycle that controls when cells live, divide, grow and die).  Cancer cells, by definition, grow out of control without any of the normal checks and balances.  Many herbs, drugs and nutrients function by getting cells to enter back into the cell cycle and die a "normal" death.  Another important difference between cancer cells and normal cells is that these "abnormal" cells have an unusual appearance (all cells have markers on their surfaces which allow them to communicate with each other and their environments; receptors for neurotransmitters or hormones, markers to identify what type of cell it is, and "hands" that let the cell stick in place or move around).  Cancer cells have more of one type of marker, or less of another, or have markers on their surface that are totally unique.  These changes allow white blood cells (immune responders) to recognize cancer cells as foreign.  One type of molecule that these cells have too many of is called galectin-3.  Galectin-3 molecules function as "hands" and help the cancer spread in many ways.  First, they are important in reaching out and stimulating the growth of new blood vessels (to feed the growing tumours).  Second, they allow cells that break off the initial tumour to clump together in the bloodstream, allowing them to move to a new site in the body.  Modified Citrus Pectin is a natural substance that can bind galectin molecules and block them, thereby inhibiting the spread and growth of cancer cells.  A number of studies of Modified Citrus Pectin effectiveness in both animals and humans have shown dramatic reductions in metastasis to the lungs, breasts and colon as well as in slowing the rate of disease progression.

Once again, wow and thanks ladies for all the valuable information that you have posted.  I have alot to learn and find that I am always learning when I come to this sight.
