For Informed People Using Alternative Treatments

RE; oil of oregano - sometimes it is hard to take by mouth.  It also works if you put it on the soles of your feet.

Re: Iodine - my PCP put me on iodine after a 24 hour urine test indicated it was low.  I've been on it for the past 10 months - and have noticed no differences in how I feel.   My nutritionist, when designing my post-chemo and radiation protocol said to discontinue the iodine when I was done with the bottle.  I haven't yet asked her why, but I will when I speak to her after some blood work this month.  In the meantime, I've read that iodine and selenium are linked.... not an expert by any means, but apparently taking iodine without selenium can lead to iodine toxicity and concurrent thyroid problems: http://chriskresser.com/iodine-for-hypothyroidism... now I'm alternating - taking iodine one day and selenium the next.... sometimes we have to fly by the seat of our pants.

when I was at the university I got a planar wart on the bottom of one foot:  as I'm a life-long pedestrian it was very inconvenient, my first lover I was living with that summer told me to apply iodine to it often which I did & it eventually dried up.  matter of a week or so as I recall. I've been currently fatasizing cannabis oil topically.  seems to me it would have to be the real kind, not the cbd, as it would be more sticky

my sister said yesterday that she used icelandic seawee.  for iodine.  she doesn't have our health problems that I know of.  sounds good though being far from japan

Juneping...I am so sorry!  I re-read my post and I hope it did not come across the way I did not intend it to.  I was just trying to clarify it was Tamoxifen he was recommending as you are calling it Taxmo...is that a company name for Tamoxifen?  Really sorry for my ignorance, I don't know much about Tamoxifen companies etc...LOL

Also, the reason I ask, is because I have been frustrated with getting a straight answer from him about Tamoxifen etc...he finally told me "No" he does not recommend it, his herbs are the same but of course no study to prove it.  I was worried about Tamoxifen as I have a family history of uterine cancer and I think Tamoxifen can cause uterine?  Also, I had read that Tamoxifen was not as effective with ILC cancer which I have...so, it was an easier decision for me.  Really hard to make tough decisions, I know!  I applaud you for being open to many protocols and treatments!  It really is a personal choice! xo

jojo  - just my two cents - I didn't take your earlier post the wrong way if it makes you feel better

hI,

Blessings to you all. I welcome this is a forum for support. Avocados - very good. At the Karolinska Univ. Hospital they say selenium

tabletts are good for "stopping tumor activity". All health food fans know this is nothing new, selenium is good for many things.

Hugs

jojo,

Lol no worries....taxmo is taxmoifen. I was too lazy to type it all...sorry.

I heard the manufacture matters. Can someone tell me which one you are using and cause no or less side effect ??

Thanks 

budrfligal13 - 

didn't your oncologist recommend a fertility specialist before you went on chemo? or because you are young and she didn't do so?

kireeus,

I didn't know we could see an oncologist directly...isn't it usually after going thru the breast surgeon first.??

I don't know the details of the story my naturopath told me. For all I know the woman in the story submitted herself to a biopsy and then refused surgery.  Or maybe they told her she needed to shrink the tumors before surgery.  I didn't ask too many questions because interesting as the story was, I mostly wanted my doctor to focus on me.  And I didn't think it pertained that closely  to me because I didn't think I ever had consumed an artificial sweetener.  It wasn't until I was telling the story to somebody else and also telling them about how one brand of melatonin made my liver enzymes go up, and another brand didn't, that I suddenly realized the possibility that I had consumed an artificial sweetener. When I got home I got out my original bottle of melatonin, and sure enough, Sorbitol was the first ingredient, mannitol was second. And since I'd been working up to a larger dose of melatonin by taking more and more small dose tablets, I'd been consuming more and more of it.  It was a Eureka moment for me.  But again, I'm sure, obviously, that lots of people are able to eat artificial sweeteners with no problem. Just not me apparently.  And I'd been taking the same brand of sublingual vitamin B for years.  I'd only given it up when it tested negative by ART. So I've probably been taxing my liver with small amounts of sorbitol for a long time.

Kireeus,

Very interesting info.

Can ART, autonomic response testing show if someone has cancer? What other information can this test reveal? Does it cost a lot to have this test? You have found a great naturopath! What else are you taking to prevent recurrence?

Being new to ART myself, I'm still kind in a state of shock that something like this can work.  This past week when my pet/ct scan came back saying I had a primary tumor where my scar was, my naturopath used ART and said no, there wasn't cancer in the scar, but there was a cancerous lymph node up towards my shoulder (this wasn't on the pet/ct.  The next day, I went for an ultrasound with a second radiologist who used the pet/ct results and ultrasound to look for cancer in the scar.  She concluded the exact same thing my naturopath concluded, scar is just inflammation and there is a cancerous/suspicious  node near my shoulder measures 6mm. My naturopath tested a homeopathic version of mistletoe on me called Viscum, and said that I test so strong for it that I might be able to kill the cancer in the node in the week before surgery.  I'm having  a port put in anyway, so I don't mind having the node taken out.  And naturopath says it will be easier on my immune system to remove it.  When I came back to naturopath's office after the ultrasound and reported to her staff what I thought was an amazing feat, they told me that she does it all the time.  I have no idea if everyone who uses ART has the same type of success.  I did find out that she learned her method of doing it from a German doctor named Klinghardt.  With my naturopath, ART is part of every appointment.  Every appointment I bring all my supplements I'm taking and she ART tests them. She has me stop taking some, she adds in new ones. She also tests the IVs she prescribes for me. She accepts insurance, so her appointments are paid by that. The IVs aren't covered, and neither are colonics or ondimed therapy ($25,000 German machine that uses meridian frequencies - Suzanne Sommers talks about it in Knockout and says she has one in her own home). 

I can tell you what I'm taking, but from what my naturopath says, this combination will uniquely work for me and may not benefit anyone else, even if they presented with the exact same symptoms. But for what it's worth, here's my treatment plan:

5 gr modified citrus pectin 3x a day to stop breast cancer from spreading- the research  on this stuff is amazing, the brand ishe prescribed is pectaSol-c. It's the most expensive thing I take, $80 for a two week supply.

1gr c-statin twice daily to stop angiogenesis made by Aidan

1mcg l-5-mthf  daily to help me get rid of estrogen - this is the metabolically active form of folate

Thorne vitamin D3 5000 iu daily

Metformin 500mg twice daily

Pleo zinc (made by Santum) it's a homeopathic zinc, I had lost my sense of smell-now it's back

Medullosseinum -this is a homeopathic remedy that she used to stimulate my bone marrow to make white blood cells, when I started seeing her 2 months ago I had had chronic leukemia for 12 years and expected to have it for life, now for the first time in twelve years, I am leukemia free. My WBC went from 1.3  to  3.8 and no leukemia cells in blood.  

Viscum - homeopathic version of mistletoe, stimulates my immune system.  

At night, 20mg Melatonin made by Allergy Research- I'd seen her for a few weeks before I tested positive to take this, that's kind of why I was taking the other brand, before I learned to respect the ART testing

Low dose naltrexone (prescription from compounding pharmacy) started at 1.5 gradually moving up to 4.5 before bed.  It turns off endorphin production for a couple hours and body rebounds and makes loads of them. The idea is that endorphins kill cancer cells.

Poly MVA IVs twice a week for a total of 25 IVs - this showed up on the expensive Greek chemo sensitivity test I had done as killing my CTCs (20% of them in vitro) but it also boosts immune system.  You can also take this stuff orally, it's considered an alternative form of chemo

Vitamin c IVs - I've done 4, waiting for port to do more, it's hard on my veins. According to chemo sensitivity test this killed 35% of my CTCs

Colonic irragation -8 sessions- turns out some parasites did come out after 6 sessions, and my waist shrunk by an inch, also I'm hoping it will help with my absorption issues, and help to rid of estrogen and toxins

Ondimed-10 sessions, I don't know if this was mainly to help with the Lyme disease? But she said it would help everything work better

Vegan ketogenic diet (ultra low carb) no meat, with the exception of wild caught fish, no fruit, no potatoes, not even large sized beans like limas,  no soy, mostly just nuts and vegtables, no alcohol, no dairy.  I follow this religiously. It's gotten easier the longer I do it.  Socially, it's awkward. And I'm now 17lbs lighter then 2 months ago.

Daily coffee enemas (haven't started this yet- just ordered supplies and special coffee from sawilsons.com). It's supposed to stimulate liver and gallbladder to remove toxins.

CBC and liver function blood test once a week

To try to learn more about ART, I visited Dr Klinghardt's website , Klinghardtacademy.com, and I noticed somewhere in there that he had a list of practitioners around the country, but I don't think it's comprehensive because my naturopath, Dr Darvish, isn't on his list.  I'm new to energy medicine, I don't understand it,  but like my husband says, if it works, I don't need to know why it works or how it works.  It's just great that it works.  

I found Dr Darvish when I saw a friend go from horribly sick, to looking darn good.  She gave mr Dr Darvish's name and told me that she'd found her from a list on Suzzane Somer's website, or maybe from the back of one of her books (sorry I can't remember).  

I'm still stunned that tis kind of doctor can exist.  But I'm hoping there are lots of them out there.  

I am curious about your experience with modified citrus pectin. I was taking it, but have slacked off recently. It does not mix well with water and the instructions i have is to drink it only with water, on an empty stomach. I appreciate your reminder of the benefit it provides and that may be the impetus to return to it tomorrow.
