You know "Scooter" when you assume that you "know" who someone is here you are just making a big toe out of u and yourself........
Baking soda can do all kinds of things.........but it cannot destroy a cancer tumor..........we had a lady here several years ago that did baking soda and she is no longer with us......

I posted a thread on it as I thought if this is good news and needs it's own thread, and certainly good news for Italian oncologist, Dr. Tullio Simoncini.
-
evebarry: I read the article...very interesting...thanks for posting. It would seem to tie into keeping the body in an alkaline state by raising the ph through drinking baking soda. This can also be accomplished by diet. I have raised my ph to 7.5 plus by following a low carb diet and eating high alkaline foods. Cancer needs an acidic environment to grow.
Shokk: I don't think the article said that baking soda could "destroy" a tumor, just keep it from spreading to other parts of the body. I'm sure surgery or other tx would be in order for removal of the primary tumor.

I have a question that I am asking with complete sincerity. Although I completely agree that the profit motive is very strong, why would "Big Pharma" suppress or obstruct possible cures/preventatives for cancer when their own families and friends are effected by this disease too? Doubtless, they all have mothers, wives, daughters etc. who have had bc or other types of cancer, not to mention they (whoever they may be) themselves. -Caryn

Does anyone else think I'm off-topic? As I'm posting evidence for NOT using chemo, that seems very relevant to this forum, especially as Kathy requested the information. I'm also posting from time to time about my own interest which is to starve cancer rather than poison it. I've also mentioned Metformin a few times which is not a conventional cancer treatment though it's being studied as a promising adjuvant therapy. It's mentioned on Life Extension Foundation and other similar sites as it's a calorie restriction memetic which has the same effect as restricting calories without having to go without food. It originated from the French Lilac and was used for diabetes symptoms long before they had any clinical knowledge or a name for the disease.
Starving cancer using natural means, with as few drugs or supplements as possible, is my special area of interest as I have observed that many alternative protocols with such as that used by the well known Australian Ian Gawler and the Gerson Therapy tend to include calorie restriction and juicing. Now there is preliminary research to back it up too.
I'll probably start a new thread soon about the starving cancer hypothesis as it shouldn't be lost among other threads. I just have to get all my evidence together and try to word my opening post in a way that is easily understood and doesn't send readers to sleep. I know, I know, I'm far too long winded!
I'm thinking of dropping out of this thread due to the negative comments and bickering, but I'll always be there for Kathy and anyone else who requests information that I can provide.

Caryn, it's already happened with DCA. The drug has no patent, is cheaply produced and has been used for years to treat lactic acidosis. When it was discovered that it could also be effective in treating some cancers...things changed. Unless your dr. was willing to lie for you and say he/she is treating you for the acidosis, he/she can't get it. Yet, if it's required specifically for that treatment, it's cheap, prescribable and easy to manufacture. If you want it for cancer, it's going to cost a pretty penny, and even then, you can never be sure you're getting a clean source. Sure it has some side-effects, but none more serious than chemo. Once the trials are complete, things might change...I don't know, but I can bet you dollars to donuts that it will no longer be the cheap, benign treatment it used to be. Some pharmaceutical company will stick it's nose in, change it just enough to call it their own (probably adding serious side-effects in the process) and make sure the price is driven up. Supply and demand.
-
Sorry, wrong thread.
-
Caryn, I'm probably going to sound like a jaded soul, but to answer your question....it happens all the time. Not that it's suppressed or obstructed, just that a pharmaceutical/supplement company has to take a perfectly effective, inexpensive treatment, synthesize/change it, patent it and then charge an outrageous fortune for it. For all I know, though, maybe there's just not enough to go around and they have to. Maybe it's all fueled by supply and demand. Kind of like aspirin, you know? You can chew on the willow bark or you can swallow the synthesized pill.
-
Gracie, I understand what you're saying about synthesizing/changing a known agent that is inexpensive. What I don't understand what happens when their own loved ones get cancer. Anyone?
Caryn -
I don't believe there is suppression going on although it's ridiculous when they develop a drug like Strontium Ranelate when strontium in any form probably works and they could have spent the money testing Strontium Citrate which is cheap and readily available.
I'm sure many people are rightly suspicious after the horrendous behaviour of the tobacco and asbestos industries. Surely those who suppressed evidence showing smoking and asbestos were mass killers also had relatives who smoked or worked with asbestos?
-
Sandy, thanks for the info. I hope it will go OK for me and I am sorry you had so much trouble with it.
-
Joy: Let me know when you start up your "starving cancer" thread, because I surely want to be a part of that one. I have a strong belief about that as well.
-
I too would be interested in this starving cancer thread as I think big medicine overlooks the obvious in too many cases and treats us as machines
-
This is the protocol I found on www.cancertutor.com. There are other alternative treatments on this site as well.
Kelmun Protocol - Baking Soda and Maple Syrup (About $20 a month)
This is an alkaline protocol that works by killing microbes inside of cancer cells. See the "What Causes Cancer" article, on the left side-bar, to understand what I am talking about
In this protocol baking soda and maple syrup are heated together for 5 minutes. This binds the two substances together. It is a weak bond, but the protocol works so quickly that that is all that is needed.
When they are taken, the cancer cells eat the maple syrup because cancer cells consume 15 times more glucose than normal cells. However, as they do this the baking soda gets inside the cancer cells.
This is when the highly alkaline baking soda kills the microbes inside the cancer cells, thus reverting the cancer cells into normal cells.
This is when the highly alkaline baking soda kills the microbes inside the cancer cells, thus reverting the cancer cells into normal cells. See this article for more information:
Kelmun ProtocolNOTE: There is also a Molasses and Baking Soda protocol. Search YouTube for how to make this protocol.

I posted this video on another thread. I think you women will find it interesting. Can't wait for your new thread Joy. I'm sure it will be interesting.
"Can we eat to starve cancer?
William Li presents a new way to think about treating cancer and other diseases: anti-angiogenesis, preventing the growth of blood vessels that feed a tumor. The crucial first (and best) step: Eating specific cancer-fighting foods that cut off the supply lines and beat cancer at its own game.
-
How can that work? The syrup is broken down in the digestive system, then enters the blood as glucose. I would think that by that stage, it is no longer mixed with the soda.
-
zuvart: Great video...thanks for posting. I am currently using a drug similar to avastin (lucentis) to stop blood vessel growth in my eye due to my wet macular degeneration. The anti cancer diet I am following has a benefit for my eye problems as well, because the foods I'm eating all work to starve cancer. They are all on the list that was presented in the video. My boyfriend has MS and he is following the same diet to drive his disease into remission. Thank goodness the world is finally waking up to the connection between diet and disease.

Hi - I see this thread was busy since I last visited, but had to jump from 16 to 19, so for now have missed a lot.
Joy - don't know what it was, that would make you consider leaving, details anyway, but I have come to consider you to be a voice of reason, you do not push anyone to think your way, or to twist arms, and you have proven your concern for others. Please do not leave, you bring balance. Maybe just skip over the stressors? I am going to have to do so. I have a new word for it. Smoke.
BAKING SODA - Please all remember it is not so easy !!!! The baking soda first of all has aluminum, so one without and organic is needed. Plus the blood tests must be involved and the body must be supplemented with potassium and magnesium, among others. Baking soda can stop the heart, the minerals needed are gone, the heart stops in an otherwise healthy person. Do some online searches for more info, and please do not jump on the platform unaware. I have been on a few platforms and you can consider me your red flag, this was almost my downfall seven years ago when i was trying to alleviate another physical issue, quite unaware that I was using too much too. Perhaps a physician would help with your choice?
And yup, this will possibly end up being an Rx which needs a dr prescription but I think it is necessary for this one.
Love the alkaline summit for healing cancer cells. Gentle.
Today I read more on the thermogram Biomat and am so going there. I have learned so much about body temp, thyroid, the kidney function being the first thing to go for me in particular. When I have more time probably tomorrow evening.... will write more from the three books I have from lending library. Don't even know how much these things cost, but I want one asap.
Today, first acupuncture treatment, had nutrition asssesment and received two Chinese herbs, one for breaking down plegm from above the waist (a flower of some kind) and one to 'liquifty' or make me pee and stuff. I am quite pleased with the team there. Hubby said so often, you need to go see...... and I did not, until I called last week, then woke w swollen nodes yesterday and was glad I had the appt set already.
Later!

B123 - The Dim does not always have soy. The first I ordered did, and a bc sis mentioned it to me. I now am using ActivaMune patented by U of CA. I considered the 13C but it is not as bioavailable and one has to take too much.
I know I need to give up the sugar, decided that yesterday, at least for awhile, then really balance and the good stuff. Maple syrup, molasses, sorgham, stevia herb, agave nectar. I need to learn to bake differently. For me, my life choices have brought some consequences I know I can turn around to feel healthier and to heal.
Read the last three pages. smoke.
Kathy, it gets like that sometimes, we know everyone wants to watch out for your best interests, but we also know you are an adult and will make your decisions once you have all the info you need. Build your team, whatever that means to you. Lots of professional opinions. Read experiences, strength of others.
Did I tell you about the book that helped me get organized, I was lost, all over the place. Greg Anderson's Cancer: 50 Essential Things to Do. He guides your journaling and progress, even breaktime.
I am not into the chemo or rads at this time, never say never, one does not get to 55 and not learn that one, right? But Anderson does guide one in searching out conventional medicine besides all the mind, spirit changes.
But even w my alts viewpoints and personal choices, this book helped me, bcz my choice for pro opinions are from alternative mds and acupuncturists - Chinese medicine, South American medicine, old time healers. I am pooling these, looking for common denominators, making my decisions based on intuition and knowledge and results.
I am very positive about the progress I made since picking out this book --- or did it pick me??? ---- from the shelf last week.
Bless us each and every one on our personal journey. : )

Diane, If people on this thread are saying research says two protocols have "statistically similar outcomes", then on another thread it's reported that they are saying one protocol "doesn't work", well that's a complete fabrication. I even did a search for "doesn't work" on this Alt Medicine section. And then they use that lie to prove we are giving someone bad advice! Please someone tell me where we've advised Kathy that chemo "doesn't work" on ILC or ER+? I don't like having my words twisted to something completely different.
Then someone else tells me to not talk about chemo on this thread? I thought we were looking for alternatives to chemo where that is not compromising overall survival. And I was quoting good research going back years.
It feels like some people are just trying to disprove others rather than add to the information being shared. I don't mind anyone disagreeing with me providing it's done respectfully and truthfully. I'm open to all ideas but like to see some evidence that it's viable.
Your information and attitude are just what we need here. The information you supplied on Baking Soda was invaluable and I hope it doesn't get lost in all the many posts, so I'll probably refer back to it to keep it alive. The book you mentioned may be just what I need too.
-
Zuvart, I'm interested in the maple syrup, Baking Soda recipe, but even if it can work for some, it can't work the way it's stated, since what we eat doesn't go straight to the tumour. It has to get though the digestive system first as Momine correctly pointed out. Then it's turned to glucose and our bodies are very efficient at regulating our blood sugar levels.
There may be some other way the Maple Syrup works in combination with the Baking Soda. I'm not discounting it and would be happy to try it in combination with other things bearing in mind the excellent information that Diane provided above.
-
Thanks Zuvart for the recipe, I need to watch the video again. Essa, I'll take heed of your advice, thanks
Looking forward to your post about your current reading. I'm so disoriented that I responded about the biomat on another thread....Lol
We've not heard from Kathy, I'm sad about that
Joy, I wouldn't lose any sleep over this, like Essa said, smoke (pot or hashish ? Lol). Also looking forward to your new thread (and crossing fingers)
ETA, Joy, the new research specifies drinking the combo, please see Evebarry's post on the subject

Alternative Research
I so wish we had some sort of register where people could enter their condition, then state what treatments they are using, alternative, conventional or dietary, in real time, ie, not retrospectively, and they would need to enter all dietary and treatment changes as they happen. After a few years it could be noticed if there is a trend towards some treatments having favourable outcomes. This would be strictly customer based and available for all to use. A system could be used to maintain privacy while using a password. I've thought of it often but there are many difficulties that could seriously compromise any results.
Firstly, how could someone prove they really have the condition and aren't just planted there by someone with financial interests in selling their product?
Secondly, how could they then prove their condition has improved, abated or cleared up completely? People would need to be sufficiently motivated to return from time to time to confirm they are still free of the condition, and I suspect many would get fed up and not say they have relapsed.
Thirdly, many conditions would clear up anyway given time, or with primary cancer they would naturally be NED after surgery, so they would need to be a different category to more permanent conditions such as metastatic cancer. So many times I've read that a treatment has been successful since the condition hasn't returned yet statistically it probably wouldn't have returned anyway. Chemo comes to mind. In these cases there would need to be a very large database to compare long term results and that isn't practical with so many possible dietary, lifestyle and treatment options in addition to conventional.
On the other hand, if there was a trend showing up towards something, for example with aspirin, Baking Soda or Metformin, then everyone started to favour that treatment, it should get a much quicker result as the numbers would rise. Either the results would reflect that trend or they would remain unchanged. I believe that is one of our purposes in being on this alternative section. To get feedback. Did it work for you? How many did it help and how many had no result? How many had side effects?
I realise this is impractical and would be a nightmare to run and interpret, but it's a dream of mine.
-
Joy I don't think baking soda and maple syrup alone (or any drug )will do the trick. Like all alternative treatments, diet, detoxification, exercise etc play big roles in the healing process. So, there will never be a one size fits all treatment that works for everyone.
I strongly believe that new healing holistic modalities are quickly approaching. After reading "Cancer is not a disease-It's a survival mechanism" - Andreas Moritz and "Breast Cancer and Iodine : How to Prevent and How to Survive Breast Cancer" - Ph.D. Dr. David Derry M.D. books, I immediately realized that I needed non toxic treatments that build my up instead of tearing it down.
Kathy, you may want to consider Insulin Potentiated Therapy if you are looking for alternative to chemotherapy. See...
Treat cancer with the natural remedies in Insulin Potentiation Therapy
"NaturalNews) A study in a 2004 edition of the Journal of Clinical Oncology revealed that the combined five-year survival rate for all types of cancer using full-dose chemotherapy and radiation is only 2.5 percent, but pharmaceutical interests have prevented other treatments from being prescribed in conventional medicine. Yet more effective, less toxic treatments exist; among these, Insulin Potentiation Therapy is increasing in popularity among holistically-minded doctors. IPT utilizes the hormone insulin to make low doses of chemotherapeutic drugs more effective, but natural substances, which produce fewer side effects, can be used in lieu of the drugs. By integrating IPT into a protocol that includes a healthy, organic diet, free of processed food and sugar, along with an individualized nutritional regimen to heal the body, some doctors are able to heal up to 60 percent of their terminally-ill patients. This is because natural IPT regimens not only kill cancer cells in a targeted fashion, but also strengthen the body and immune system, which is destroyed by conventional treatments.
In IPT, doctors first gently lower their patients' blood sugar by giving them insulin. Because cancer cells require copious amounts of glucose to function, lowering the body's blood sugar causes them to starve and to open up their cell membranes, so that they become extremely receptive to whatever glucose might be in the bloodstream. If patients are then given anti-cancer substances along with glucose, their cancer cells swallow those substances, and the effects of those substances become greatly enhanced, or potentiated, by the insulin...(You can read the rest.)

zuvart: The IPT therapy is the only kind of chemo related treatment that I would consider outside of what I am already doing from a complementary standpoint. As it turned out, my bc was a small early stage variety and seems to be NED at the moment. Pray it stays that way.
-
i am looking up the flowers and hrbs I was givven by chinese medicine. Will post back later today about the current info I am onto for my own protocol. Juggling bco and research w finishing taxes and packing and meditation. grin, no stress here.
Joy - glad you are still you. I want to say what worked for me and what has not, but I just realized that the probability of being stomped or stung for my honesty would create a bias against the whatever it was that did not help me in particular, and people who might get a positive outcome would not consider it on their journey. Visa, the whatever that helped me, might not work for another but I would be called an untruthful person.
Either way - that is not going to stop me.
On my profile - in about an hour, you will see the protocol I am using now, what I have used from the beginning of this jourrney and the transitions along the way.
Maud -- Smoke. Just smoke, that being my word for letting it roll of the back of the duck... be a duck, water off the back. Smoke is my word for that. Peace pipe smoke. Bee hive smoke. Ecological burn off for greener meadows smoke. Ashes to ashes smoke. It's all good. Your smoke is cool too.
Edited for comments on page 20
Kaara, I am once again with you. Even in late stage, I would do the IPT first. The PolyMVA does the same, requires so much less chemo, builds up the system, detoxes liver all at once. So I would do that too. My integrative med dr showed me info on these and has connections if I should decide. I am still into gentle does it, heal gently and rebuild my system. Just getting the cancer active (as I do believe the cancer cells arealways there, proven 3000 - 6000 a day that our immune system handles when it is functioning to do so) but just getting to the point where the cancer was active enough to my memory andsit me on my arse for so long, I needed to rebuild anyway. I could go out and garden now, if not OWB smoke next door (BAD SMOKE, evil smoke, not all smoke can be positive stuff hahaha) I am so much stronger.
Zuvart - Thanks for more info on the IPT. My integrative md is signed as a physician who does IPT but he doesn't now, he is semi-retired and it takes so long, so he refers patients to the ones near here who do that, cryoablation, PolyMVA, laser. I think like you that we are fully opening the door to the healing of cancer cells holistically instead of the killing of the patient's immunity. The recent medical release on Radiation for bc causing cancer stem cells is enough for me. And it seems that the need for the holistic is extremely important to implement now becasue there are so many who will depend on the alternatives to heal after vast does of chemo and the radiation treatments that have been admitted to do more harm than good for enough that it is being admitted at all. In next post, pulled from the early stage natural girls thread....

This article is the opinion of the author, but you see links to Science Daily in other links. I would just like to say, I agree with the article and that I have recently learned that if we do not increase oour body temperatures, well, we absolutely need to do so. There is a thread in alternatives on increaasse body temperature.
ARTICLE
http://www.naturalnews.com/035289_radiation_cancer_stem_cells.html
New study: Radiation treatments create cancer cells 30 times more potent than regular cancer cellsLearn more: http://www.naturalnews.com/035289_radiation_cancer_stem_cells.html#ixzz1r2ivICb2
(NaturalNews) In a groundbreaking new study just published in the peer reviewed journal Stem Cells, researchers at UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center Department of Oncology found that, despite killing half of all tumor cells per treatment, radiation treatments on breast cancer transforms other cancer cells into cancer stem cells which are vastly more treatment-resistant than normal cancer cells. The new study is yet another blow to the failed and favored mainstream treatment paradigm of trying to cut out, poison out or burn out cancer symptoms (tumors) instead of actually curing cancer.
Senior study author Dr. Frank Pajonk, associate professor of radiation oncology at the Jonsson Center, reported that induced breast cancer stem cells (iBCSC) "were generated by radiation-induced activation of the same cellular pathways used to reprogram normal cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) in regenerative medicine." Pjonk, who is also a scientist with the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine at UCLA, added "It was remarkable that these breast cancers used the same reprogramming pathways to fight back against the radiation treatment."
In the new study, Pajonk and his team irradiated normal non-stem cell cancer cells and placed them into mice. Through a unique imaging system, the researchers observed the cells differentiate into iBCSC in response to radiation treatments. Pjonk reported that the newly generated cells were remarkably similar to non-irradiated breast cancer stem cells.
The team of researchers also found that the radiation-induced stem cells had a more than 30-fold increased ability to form tumors compared with non-irradiated breast cancer cells.
Despite mounting evidence, mainstream medicine clings to surgery, chemo and radiation and ignores natural solutions.Despite all the billions of dollars spent on cancer, the 40 year "war on cancer" has been a losing one by any honest evaluation. One hundred years ago, anywhere from 1 in 50 to perhaps 1 in 100 people could be expected to develop cancer. Now it is estimated that 1 in every 2 men and 1 in every 3 women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetimes. Despite more people around the world developing cancer and dying from cancer every year, mainstream medicine continues to cling to failed treatments which more often than not fail to eliminate the cancer and help cancer spread and return more aggressively than ever. Notably, two of the three major mainstream cancer treatments - radiation and chemo - are themselves highly carcinogenic.
One might think that the new study provided ample reasons to rethink using radiation. However, the study authors looked at the results as an opportunity to continue and enhance the use of radiation by finding ways to control the cell differentiation. What the scientists failed to note is that natural alternatives have already been found which prevent the development of cancer stem cells.
As just one example, Natural News reported in May 2010 that a University of Michigan study had found a compound in broccoli and broccoli sprouts which had the ability to target cancer stem cells. See:
http://www.naturalnews.com/028822_broccoli_breast_cancer.html
The researchers failed to note how cancer cells fought against unnatural treatments. They also failed to take into account the mounting evidence that the best way to beat cancer as well as avoid it is to build and enhance our natural first line of defense - our immune system.
The safest and most effective way to enhance the natural immune system and fight cancer in general is by working with nature. It is also by far the least expensive way, and therein likely lies the rub. You can't patent and profit from nature like you can with mainstream drugs and treatments.
Note: Neither NaturalNews nor this author condone the inhumane use of animals in medical studies.

Joy? what chinese flower/herb?.....dune sleeper? very technical, but I thought re: o2, hyberbaric oxygyn chamber??.....sugar is in fact a white powder, refined sugar........been thinking, betcha opiates are estrogenic: when I used herin now some 40+ years ago, we called it "lady doojey", & more recently friends who have used have called it "blanche".
nothing new to report from abigail, the beast has been pretty quiet: a good thing.

My friend that had radiation for bc had it return in the other breast one year later...she had the same tx for that, and now there is something under her arm that must be biopsied, again one year later. She opted out of tamoxifen.

I did remember to bring back the rosemary oil, maud, thanks to you, I also found some grapeseed pil my sister had sent probably 1 1/2 years ago, it was sealed with wax, I opened & used some & put the rest in the fridge. I has a plastic container , no triange glyff on the bottom, I suspect a #5 or maore plastic. I also ate the first japanese knotweed sprout, soon it will be 11 feet tall, now the shoots are just comming up. the periwinkle is flowereing, wonder now, with joy's report on scullcap, if the blue flowers have something to do with it's curative power.....
