An Alternative approach to Stage IV Health and choices

3littlegirls:  That's interesting info...thanks for posting.

I have just started taking it.  I bought it a week ago but it tasted so bad I only took it twice. Today my ND explained it and how it works. So now I will try and take it like a good soldier everyday.  I will let you know how it goes.

Hi Jill, I bought mine at the Organic grocery store.  You probably could get it at most Vitamin/health stores.  It cost $90 (Canadian) for 450g.  My ND told me to take 20g a day.  So that should last me about a month.  

I posted this on the Inspire site as well and this is what one ladies response was.  Thought it was worth sharing.  

Hello,
I am a nurse practitioner who specializes in Integrative Oncology. I also am currently being treated for breast cancer. I've been using MCP for many years now with our cancer patients, am taking it myself, and have looked at the research. There is only one brand of MCP, Pectasol-C, which has been proven in clinical studies to provide the benefits described above, which include binding to Galectin-3 molecules and thereby inhibiting metastasis, inhibiting angiogenesis or blood vessel formation which enables tumors to form a blood supply and enlarge, and also providing gentle and safe chelation of heavy metals without depleting the body of essential minerals. Pectasol-C is a patented form of Modified Citrus Pectin. The key to its special qualities is the molecular size and configuration, a patented process, which can be absorbed from the gut into the bloodstream. Larger molecules of citrus pectin are not systemically absorbed. It also has a particular egg-crate configuration which traps heavy metals and safely removes them. Galectin-3 is a new inflammatory marker that can be tested in the blood with a simple blood draw. This molecule is a marker for risk of cardiovascular disease, fibrosis of organs such as liver, lung, and also found on the outsides of cancer cells enabling them to stick together. Pectasol-C is the first compound shown in studies to bind to Galectin-3. I personally would not recommend using another brand which has not been backed up by studies. I always use warm water, stir quickly and let it sit for a few minutes. 5 grams or 1 scoop three times per day or 1 1/2 scoops twice per day is the dose which has been most studied. Best used on an empty stomach 20 minutes before eating so it gets absorbed quickly. It can be put into a smoothy or juice if you aren't able to use it alone. The best price is the container of powder, but it also comes in pill form. It is such a powerful multidimensional supplement.

I will ask her and see.

It's interesting that MCP lowers cholesterol, chelates heavy metals and could mimic a low carb diet. My only concern is that it might contain grapefruit which could interact with Tamoxifen (for those taking it). 

I realized that I am taking MCP in powder form.  I use a scoop (1tsp) in my drink each morning.  I looked and I don't think it contains grapefruit.

Hi Ladies

I have not read this whole thread, so I am not sure what has been discussed, but I just wanted to add a few things to consider that I have come across in my research.

AHCC-this is a mushroom extract that is used in Japan as a type of chemo and shown to had a lot of success.

Heat kills cancer cells. I use a far infrared sauna daily. 

I saw you mentioned fasting. I work with a nutrition counselor who regularly helps people with all kinds of cancer and starts with juicing. He follows the Kelley/Gonzalez protocol which was developed by Dr. Kelly who had stage 4 pancreatic cancer but lived 40 years after he did a complete cleanse, and changed his diet. This method includes daily coffee enemas. It is not pretty, but I have seen the difference it has made.

Also, do you have thyroid issues? If so, lack of iodine may be the root cause. Check out breastcancerchoices.org and look at the iodine links to bc.

I have a friend who has been stage 3 for over 15 years. She regularly goes to Sanoviv in Baja, to have detox treatments.

Also check your vit d levels. Get it close to 100 if you can.

Just some things I thought I would throw out there. I have lots of links in case anyone wants it you can pm me.  I have been trying to archive info because it gets lost in all these threads.

Posted this on early stage natural girls too, and will on Alts when it calms down, pretty busy now. 

This is what I am learning now, so want to share, and yes it goes back to thyroid, I know for me.... but what came first, what broke my body's immunity???  After indepth tests on medical history and a Chinese medical examination, I find that for me, it was kidney issues and I am not surprised, my weak point as a child and adult.  This is one of my new answers.  I know Vivre has an infrared sauna, but did not realize i twas for more than detox.  I want the biomats, lg and small.

What I learned this week.

That I want this book in my library and this treatment in my life. Please consider getting this book.

The Fourth Treatment for Medical Refugees - Thermotherapy in the New Century.

Nobuhiro Yoshimizu M.D. Ph.D.

Far infrared ray is the key to preventing mestatic cancers and strengthening immunity. copyright 2009

If this therapy is used with chemotherapy, only 10 - 20% of the chemo is needed. (There is also IPT therapy and PolyMVA with chemo, both of which use 10% instead of 100%.)

Or can be used w entire protocol in book or whatever one chooses and no chemo.

The summary is the low body temp of almost all cancer people can be raised, the cancer cells can die naturally, but, the stress levels of cancer people needs managed too bcz the stress even causes the body temp to lower. Full of scientific evidence, references. Japanese physician who also studied at Mayo.

This book was written with cancer refugees in mind, those who have used everything in conventional medicine and ht the wall.   Thosse who do not choose Western medicine at all..... or only surgery or only chemo.  Cancer people who do not seem to have choices are told this is a better choice anyway, in my humblest and most enthusiastic opinion.

Me ..........after being refused by THREE cancer treatment centers and refused by two oncs that I wanted support from, with all their knowledge and the means to order the right tests..... refused bcz I was honest and told them I was not doing chemo or rads, so I definitely consider myself a medical refugee. Cool book.

Hope it helps someone, this is my experience now as I check into it, I am  reeady to try it.  Have tried the hot showers on breasts only, that's a tricky one.  And I do not do the bathtub here bcz getting out is impossible, would hate to have to call fire department to haul me out :  ( 

This biomat sounds so much easier and more affordable and it folds up.

Edited for temperance and to identify "this" and "that".

Edited to add what I found on a company page, just copy paasste it to do a search for on ethat FDA covers:

""" Workman's Comp, Health Savings accounts and Flex Spending cover the expense for the Bio-Mat.
A letter from a health care professional is required.
The Richway Professional Bio-Mat is Registered with the FDA as a Medical Device #2954299 """" 

Glad to hear it's workingbetter for you Lulubean.  I'm ironically drinking the stuff right now. mmmmmmm NOT lol I have found the by mixing it with half water half juice and then some frozen fruit it is way easier to drink. Thanks for the info on body temp. 

I take MCP in powder form...prescribed by my naturopath.  I usually add it to my smoothie in the  morning because it doesn't mix easily in water.

Thank you Joy, Read the pdf, have other link bookmarked now.  The protocol for naturallyy raising the body temperature is an entire lifestyle change and someone with cancer does not have time to pull it ooff so slowly.  The Bio-Mat can do it within a few months, if only one could afford it.  I am a believer in the color therapy and mind enhancing changes too, but need mechanisms to assist me.

It is hard to know that this is one choice MBJ made for herself and it did not work out for her.  She was into whatever would save her it seems, truly strident and forward thinking.

There's a thread on the Stage IV forum about Protocel 23.  I invited the woman who started it to this thread where she might get more information, appreciation and support.

Bumping - concerned that we haven't heard from the OP in a while. Anyone have news about Nerida?
