Alternative Treatment

many if not all "studies"  are paid for by people, companies with interests.  & therefore tainted.  this is true of so many pharmaceudical chemicals, & it takes many years for the deaths they cause to be noted & the companies punished with no more than fines that are part of "the cost of business"  meanwhile they get millions from people who are being harmed.

Feels good to be a vegetarian ....

guess I said our supermarket re-opened at last.  got broccoli sprouts & juiced them this morning.  not very efficient, tomorrow think I'll wrap them in a lettuce leaf

Just to keep the facts straight, when the original post was made, a link was not provided for something she's selling. Yes, she had personal involvement in the product but wasn't linking to it. She did not provide the link until she was asked. If the original post was still there, we'd know that, but the fact that she didn't provide a link for the sale of this product in her original post can be verifed four posts down.

ETA: a link to the product was actually provided first, by another poster five posts down.

ETA again: Threads seem to take on a life of their own when facts are misconstrued. Sales pitch and link....I admit, not very credible (for the most part). No sales pitch or link, don't see the harm and we should be allowed the courtesy to read and make up our own minds. Would still prefer they all stay, links or not.

eek

& I think the banned ? poster said that she worked for those people but got no perks for the sale of the substance or for posting the information

Yes, sorry, I did mean that.

I was up and moving about the same day as my BMX. Here they keep you in the hospital for 5 days, but I was walking from day 1.

I hve no idea of most of these contractions

walking in a hospital corridor could be dangerous to your health, all those lethal microbes, I sure wouldn't want to do it

I've not seen gary null's video so I don't know if in death by medicine the figure is larger or not.  I do think that drs & nurses are probably more or less immune, unlike abigail, who hasn't darkened their doors for many a long year

Purple, I found two DIM trials that are recruiting, but it needs to be just after diagnosis for the first one:

Diindolylmethane Efficacy Study

Diindolylmethane in Treating Patients With Breast Cancer
This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified May 2011 by University of Arizona

This phase II/III trial studies how well diindolylmethane (DIM) works and compares it to placebo in treating patients with breast cancer. DIM may slow the growth of tumor cells and be an effective treatment for breast cancer.

Oral Microencapsulated Diindolylmethane in Treating Patients With Stage II-III Triple Negative, Androgen Receptor Positive Breast Cancer Who Have Undergone Chemotherapy and Surgery

This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified June 2012 by Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute Detroit, Michigan

This study is being done to find out whether a nutritional supplement, called BioResponse-DIM (BR-DIM [oral microencapsulated diindolylmethane]), improves the survival for women who have residual cancer cells following surgery after chemotherapy for breast cancer. BR-DIM is an active ingredient in cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, brussels sprouts and cauliflower). Consumption of these vegetables has been associated with a decreased risk in several cancers. Researchers also hope to find out whether different biomarkers (also called "markers") in the blood predict the chance of breast cancer returning. BR-DIM is thought to be effective in treating stage II-III breast cancer that is triple negative, AR positive (+), and where there is residual cancer cells in the breast after chemotherapy.

I've been looking at Androgen receptor information recently as it seems many of us had AR+ tumours, so it's good to know about the second trial.

Who is Gary?

Abigail,

People are not dying in droves by walking the halls of hospitals be they hospital workers,patients or visitors. Anyone who has surgery should not be scared off and should walk as much as they can to regain strength and promote healing, coupled with rest as needed. Caryn

Ah, I could never give up the pleasures of sleep and fabulous foods. I'll leave the ascetic life to Mr. Null! Caryn

Gary Null sounds like my son who is constantly fasting to improve his health and spiritual well being.  Honestly, he can go for a month with nothing but juice and water and not miss a beat!  One day I expect to get a call that he has keeled over from malnutrition, but so far, he's fine.  I have read Null's books on Natural Healing and subscribe to many of his ideas.  He was the first person who started me down the holistic path to wellness.

Juice fasting is the foundation of most alternative cancer treatment protocols.  Fasting allows the body a break from normal activity and enables it to focus on repairing and detoxifying cells and organs. There are different ways to detoxify the body. (i.e. raw foods only, mono fruit fast, juice fast, water fast and dry fast.) Some are obviously more intense and effective than others.  According to what I've read, certain people should not do them, and extended fasts--7 day or more-should only be done under the supervision of a professional.  

Abigail, I thought Gary was your friend or significant other. It took me a while to figure out that all this time you were talking about Gary Null. I like the way this dude thinks. He makes sense. I could see why you'd listen to his radio show regularly.
