Alternative Treatment

the protein molecule in goat's milk is smaller & this more sutable for humans.......turns out the farm store at the bottom of the road here, kept us going after the flood, has real yams.  taste the same & look the same except for the outside.....& I wonder when the site (?) said yams arn't estrogenic if they meant real yams or the dark sweet potatoes.........

Diane, I am sorry for the dx, but at least it sounds like you got a lot of info, for better or worse.

I hear you on the LE concerns. Have you considered talking to the recon practice down in NOLA that is frequently discussed on the recon board? I say this because they also do lymph repair and apparently are very aware of LE issues. They might be able to help you find a practice/surgeon who could do right by you.

Did you already have rads after your surgery last year or did you skip it? 

after watching gary's war on health movie on youtube, (harede going) I watched a vidio of his sunday night show, 1st time, it's all health & nutrision & call-ins, very interesting, no politics, talked a lot about sweet potatoews, says good for us + diabetics, not to cook them too long........

ice sure helps

today searching out drs for radiofrequency ablation, note on one paage said the ins often ocvers this one.

Does anyone know if ins covers cryoablation?  If not, it is not possible even a little bit.

exbrnxgrl, government-run health plans do not cover the cost of thermography in Canada. However, there are private health insurance companies that do cover the procedure.  Europeans commonly use thermography. It has been around longer there.

Kira thank you for link.  I won't quality, not new for me, had surgery already.  Besides, now I need the lymph nodes done and looking into crytoablation or radiofrequency ablation for nodes, not too easy to find, but the dr in Ft Wayne will see me Wed and refer me if necessary.  Seems RFA is covered by most ins, but not cryto (freezing). 

Am off to the LE threads to see about surgery in an LE arm.

no, just asking if it is standard as I read it somewhere on bco that thermos are.  Waiting for the day they will be here.  did find a chiro w  a thermogram mach so am in business. 

Some people say they're not gonna bother with estrogens in food, but it can really add up:

In Townsend Letters for Doctors and Patients (January, 1997 issue), Ray Peat, a renowned biologist in the U.S., stated that "the concept of a protective estrogen is very similar to the idea of protective mutagens or protective carcinogens". He mentioned that "Alexander Lipshuts demonstrated that a continuous, weak estrogenic stimulus was immensely effective in producing first fibromas, then cancer, in one organ after another, and the effect was not limited to the reproductive system". For example, the brain and liver, which also have estrogen receptors, may grow tumours too.

Interestingly, one of the three common estrogens, Estriol, has similar properties. Being a less potent cell stimulant, Estriol was once classified as an estrogen antagonist. In the book Estrogens in the Environment, it was mentioned "because it failed to induce breast tumors in susceptible rodent strains and appeared to block such induction by Estradiol and Estrone, it was considered to be a safe estrogen". However, later studies showed that Estriol was safe only if it was administered as a single injection. A continuous administration of Estriol showed the same responses from that induced by Estradiol which is the most potent estrogen. Continuous administration of Estriol was also shown to induce breast tumors in rodents.

Estriol has been suggested as having a protective role in breast cancer based on the observation that oriental women who have a high [Estriol/(Estradiol + Estrone)] ratio in their blood also have a low incidence of breast cancer. Soya bean (contains phytoestrogen) has also been suggested as being protective in breast cancer because Japanese women who consume much more soya bean than Western women have lower incidence of breast cancer.

My observation is that in the past oriental women took much less medical drugs including painkillers compared to women in Western societies. However oriental breast cancer incidence has gone up significantly in recent years even though soya bean products are still consumed there much more than in Western societies. I believe this trend may in part be due to increased consumption of medications. The American Liver Foundation stated that the amount of medicine consumed has increased greatly with resulting dangers to the liver.

The elevated estrogen level caused by a weak liver may not be detected in blood tests because blood estrogen levels do not necessarily reflect estrogen levels in tissues. Estrogen levels in the tissues cannot be measured.

Estrogens bind to sodium which retains water. That is why many women who take estrogen therapy may find significant weight gain. The fact that estrogen therapy weakens both liver and kidneys and therefore slows down the metabolism may also aggravate weight problems.

Having stopped Tamoxifen, I will opt on the side of caution and aim for a very healthy liver 

Abi, I read cinnamon is excellent for various reasons

Just read about pistachios, if only they weren't so darn expansive.  Amazing all the foods that are being studied for their anti-cancer properties.  

The list is endless !!  It's a safe bet to conclude that if one is eating grains, nuts, seeds, veges and fruits that they are protected from ravaging diseases

Pistachios Could Protect Against Cancer

Everybody knows that I am on the "phytoestrogens are beneficial" side, so I will just point out that the article you quote was written in 1997.  Got anything more recent that might be more compelling?  I graduated college in 1997 and that was a long time ago.

I mix cinnamon with my oatmeat every morning. Love it!

My note to below - there has been a vaccine for bc on the shelf of a dr's office in OH for years.  A cancer ward nurse who lost her life to bc was attempting to get thisvaccine to the public in her last months, once she knew of it, no one would lsiten, not even her 1500 friends on FB.  That is how I found the first alternative choices, reading about here and realizing she haad never used the alts. I will tryto findherlink on gorwing bolder.com to read but it is harsh.

Roswell Park will study whether a vaccine can trigger an immune response to cancer

Tuesday, July 10, 2012.

When Roswell Park Cancer Institute announced a new trial of an experimental cancer vaccine earlier this year, 5,000 people watched the event on the Internet, 4,000 called or emailed in the following days and nearly 1,000 people posted comments on Twitter.

All this for a small study that will enroll only 18 participants to gauge safety.

The intense interest reflected the major re-emergence of an idea that has intrigued medical scientists for more than a century - using the body's natural ability to defend itself against disease-causing organisms, the immune system, to treat and prevent cancer.

American Metabolics uses vaccines that are cultured from the patient's blood and tumor cells. The protocols for treating cancer developed by American Metabolic Institute's medical director, Dr. G. Rubio, are mentioned in a book called The Alternative Medicine Definitive Guide To Cancer.

Abigail, Dr. Rubio is the only alternative doctor that I know of who develops personalized vaccines for cancer patients. Is that who Gary was talking about? His cancer center is in La Mesa, Mexico. Besides the vaccines, he also uses a mix of other thing i.e. rife technology, nutrition, herbal medicines etc. to heal his patients.

gary gave a lecture on cancer today.  I took notes.  breast cancer was mentioned once, most of the info was generis, for breast cancer 3 hrs before retiring melatonin..........first he talked about alkalinity.  baking soda, juice of 2 oranges & aloe vera.  take every day.........dr. rifve (?), woman & her info vanished.  mictoscope, could be this dr I talked about earlier here........bloodroot.......chaga, shitake mitake muchrooms.......vitamin d 2-5000 units a day, 30-45 a da7 in a bathing suit plus bioflavanoids & vitamin c.......cruciferous every day...incl mustardd.....(abby says it is estrogenic as is rasberries, flaxseed cottage cheese(?)  from a dr joanna budwid (german).....hemp iol......these in the fiber talk:  plu blueberries & artichoke some of this fiber stuff every day.
