Hi Guys
My name is Kumar and I have something good to share with all of you.My 16 year old sister was diagnosed with lung cancer a couple of years ago.She was given chemo 3 times in spite of her age and fragile condition,which almost killed her.We decided to take her to UK,in a hope that they might be able to perform a miracle but nothing happened and they said she had probably a month or so to live as her immune system was messed up and her heart had collapsed under the ruthless chemo.While she lay there in the hospital in a vegetative state,someone told us about this doctor who practices electro homeopathy,a system entirely different from homeopathy yet sharing the same name.Since we had nothing to loose we decided to go ahead and that was the best decision of our lives.What happened next was nothing short of a miracle yet there was nothing miraculous about it.Pure science,nature's gift,a skilled brain and a bit of luck brought my sister back from the clutches of death.She is still weak and recovering but she is alive and free of any disease whatsoever.The only thing that bothers her is the collapse of the immune system due to the brutal chemotherapy,because of which she needs constant attention and care.
Sorry for such a long post but I wanted to share it with people who are depressed and given up all hope of a normal life after being diagnosed with cancer.
The next question would be,if the doctor is such a genius how come we dont hear about him in the news or why is he not here in USA making millions?
Well,the answer is pretty simple.The reason you dont hear about him is that the person is paying the price for the "quacks".The fakes who play with peoples lives and make money by prolonging their illness not their lives.He is fighting the stereotyping that goes along with natural cures.A system of medication that uses ONLY safe plant extracts,has no side effects whatsoever and acts very fast.
The reason the system of medication hasnt found its way in USA is the same reason yoga couldnt enter USA without a fight,the same reason meditation was thought of as evil before being accepted as natural and beautiful.
I have personally seen amazing examples of courage and determination among people fighting cancer.Inspirational people,who lived an unfairly short life just because they didnt know about any better treatment.
My best wishes,love and blessings to all the souls around the world who are fighting this menace.
I would be more than ready to help anyone who would be interested.
God bless

I would perhaps suggest the above post by Kumar is spam and have reported it as so.

I have not been around here much because I need to put more time into my website and my upcoming event. I do have a breastfriends group there that you guys are welcome to join, where I have tried to archive info to make it easier to find. I am updating info there all the time that I never post here. Add us to facebook for updates. Hope to see you there.

vivre, how do we find you or your website on FB? There are multiple "breastfriends" there, but none look like they're related to your website. Deanna

Thanks, will join up on your FB page, but like Deanna, I found multiple sites under breastfriends.

Marianna, thanks for asking about other websites to visit. I'll take that as my cue to invite all you natural girls to visit my website which I just recently activated. It's part of my student materials as I learn how to become a certified nutrition and healthy lifestyle coach. I can hardly believe I'm nearly halfway through my year of training, and they're really piling it on now. I'll be a walking encyclopedia bursting at the seams. Just send me a pm to get a link.
A link I'll post publicly that anyone here will probably enjoy is the blog for the school where I"m attending. http://blog.integrativenutrition.com/

Thanks, ALthea. I bookmarked your site.

MariannaHB, I just wanted to thank you for your very informative, pertinent posts. I always seem to get caught up in other things and fail to acknowledge your contributions. I especially loved the inflammation links and quotes you provided on another thread.

Althea, It seems we are all caught up in what we should and shouldn't be eating, from vegetarians to meat eaters and everyone in between. I have heard so many say, "well I was a/an xxxxxxxx and I still got cancer so diet had nothing to do with it." I would venture to say the one thing (all) cancer patients have in common is that we consume (or used to consume) more than 25 grams a day. I believe that sugar (especially high fructose corn sugar!) is our worst enemy. Our consumption of sugar has risen right along with our incidence of cancer and other diseases. Our sugar consumption may not be the sole cause of our maladies but I think it's certainly fueling the fire. Thanks for the video, it helps me to solidify my resolve to not worry so much over EVERYTHING I put in my mouth but to keep my diet low carb and try to maintain less than 15-25 grams of sugars a day.

Althea thanks for the blog link. Also since our last talk I have given up honey in my oatmeal in the mornings. Still can't quiet give it up in my morning tea. Maybe with time.
Ladies, I don't post much here but I read everything here and have found the information to be so helpful. For those of you who are much more knowledgeable please continue posting as it does help others.

Hi impositive. Haven't seen you in a while. You doing ok?
Sherryc, have you tried stevia extract to sweeten your beverages? It's in the supplement section. Nothing artificial, no calories, no glycemic index.
I want to point y'all to one of my favorite concepts I've learned this year as a student at IIN.
http://www.integrativenutrition.com/primaryfoodIIN has coined the phrase 'primary food' to encompass the aspects of our lives that truly have the most effect on our well being -- our relationships, our career, our exercise routine, and our spirituality. The food on our plate is secondary food. It's secondary because we could eat the most nutritious food in appropriate portions at every meal, but our health would still suffer if our spouse is abusive, or philandering, if our job is one we don't like, or one that causes a lot of stress, if our exercise habits are too little, or too extreme, if our spiritual outlook in this world gives us something less than peace and tranquility -- all of these factors trump what's on our plate, what passes our lips.
IIN made their own version of the food pyramid, and I think of it now everytime I see someone say "I ate healthy and got cancer anyway." First of all, lots of very smart people who are the food experts nearly come to blows over what the 'healthiest' diet is. And for the rest of us just trying to figure out what to have for dinner, well, I think it's probably safe to assume that all of us have room for improvement regardless of what dietary theory we choose.
And even if someone has an exemplary diet, if they still get cancer, the next question to consider, imo, is what aspect(s) of the primary food arena is off balance. Just watching the news this week as President Obama turns 50, there's stories all over the place about how much faster our presidents age due to stress while in office. There's not an organic garden big enough to offset the stress that comes with that job. I think it's a perfect example of how primary food can have such a significant impact on our health. The stories I watched say presidents, present and past, age twice as fast during their years in office.

althea, What a great post. I would agree we need to remember to feed our well being as well. I remember when I found out I had BC, I told my DH I wanted and needed to make changes in my life. For me it was spending much more time doing the things I love doing instead of doing what I felt I should do. It is so easy to fall back into the old habits though. Thanks for reminding me to do more of what moves me.

althea yes I have used Stevia for years. I just like the way honey taste in my oatmeal and hot tea. I am adjusting with the oatmeal using stevia so one step at a time. I'll eventually give in and use the Stevia in my hot tea as well. Good post thanks. Stress does incredible things (not good) to our bodies. I try very hard to not overload myself these days and if I commit to something it is something I really enjoy or I don't do it.

What about Agave Nector? I previously used Truvia but switched to the Agave Nector after reading "The Anti Cancer way of Life" by David Scribner. I have found I only need one teaspoon in my morning coffee (yes I still have one cup with Organic half and half). The rest of the day I drink at least 2 cups of the Brassica Green Tea and have found I can drink it without any sweetner.

Valgirl, I've looked at Agave Nector but never tried it. How does it taste? If I remember it isn't calorie free.

In addition to Agave Nectar, Tupelo Honey has a lower glycemic index than other honeys, so might be a smidge healthier (not that honey is all that bad). Also, dried cranberries, apricots or raisins will add sweetness and additional flavor to oatmeal, and you don't have to use very much.
On the Agave Nectar, I've found that light, dark and various brands each tastes a bit different, so you may have to try a few to find one you really like. Deanna

I've used agave nectar and I like the taste. It's even sweeter than honey imo, and I believe the glycemic index is similar to honey. I like the taste just as well as I do honey, although I probably use less since it's so sweet. Vegans prefer agave as a sweetener because it's entirely planted based. Can't recall any more specifics than that, but honey if I recall correctly does contain fructose, so for some people, even though it's natural and unrefined, fructose can be a dealbreaker anyway.
eta: say, do y'all have fewer posts than you used to? I thought I was pushing 2,000 recently and now my number's way lower.

For years I've been using fruit in my cooked oat breakfast to sweeten it. A sliced banana is easy, chopped up prunes (dried plums) if I need them, kiwi fruit if they're sweet enough, I just experiment with fruit in season. I add the fruit after cooking so they aren't stewed, but before cooking should work too.

Thought I'd share my health scare with you all. I try to do everything else natural, but was taking Tamoxefin as a preventative measure to not get BC.
I started on Tamoxefin in March and this past week, I started to have a bad cramp in my left leg. I thought I had just overdone it at the gym, so I iced it and tried to stay off the leg for awhile. However, something in the back of my mind kept nagging me, "What if it's the Tamoxefin and you have a blood clot?" so I scheduled an appointment at the doctor's yesterday. She also at first thought it must just be muscle strain as it wasn't warm to the touch, or real swollen or red. But she scheduled an ultrasound anyway. Good thing, because I have a deep vein thromboses! From the inside of my thigh, along the back of the knee to my calf. Needless to say I'm going off of the Tamoxefin!!!
My doctor told me this almost never happens. She has lots of patients taking the Tamox and none of them had a blood clot. I told her to change those stats! Ladies, just a reminder to listen to your body and stick up for yourselves. I'm lucky to still be here to tell you this story!

NC, wow, that is so scary!!! Besides getting off the Tamox, do they do anything to actually help the DVT to resolve?
So glad you followed that nagging inner voice!!! Deanna

NC that is scary, thanks for sharing

Mscal102, check out the Purely Ageless on the Oasis Advanced Wellness website. Not sure if we're allowed to post URLs here that sell stuff ... so in case that's not allowed, you can just google the company then click on either Purely Ageless or Organic Skin Care.
I have no affiliation with this company except this woman used to be my ND at one point. That's how I found the products.

does anyone have a good website that will cross reference supplements and drugs. I know drugs.com will do a good job with drug vs drug interactions but would really like to be able to reference supplements.
0 -
Sherryc, I'd be interested in that information too if you find it. I used Consumer Lab for quality checks on supplements but they don't address drug interactions. I wonder if it even exists!
Years ago when I helped develope a form for anesthesiologists, preadmission testing at a hospital, they were concerned to know what supplements people took that could interfer with the anesthetic and space was provided to collect that information. St. John's Wort needed to be suspended before surgery. I've made a similar form for my own health history, including a photograph of myself, and provide it to any doctor that takes care of me for their chart.
NC, I agree with Deanna..."follow that nagging inner voice"!

NCKick...
Another gal who posts on here from time to time had a blood clot from tamox. and had to go off it.
Funny how some docs are in denial.

Hey Althea!
I've been around, just not posting much. I just got through another melanoma diagnosis and surgery. Three bouts with cancer but no mets of any kind so far. I'm feeling very lucky and thankful. I've been spending alot of my online time researching the melanoma but I always come back to BCO to see what's up.Great posts! Evebarry and I were just posting about stress on another thread. I think you are definitely correct. It's all about the body as a WHOLE. We have to try and find balance in every aspect which is so difficult for me but I'm working on it!.

Balance in our lives. It sounds so easy, not. I work really hard at it but things always come up that throw me off balance.

NC-I think one of the good things about what we have all been through is that it teachers us to follow that inner voice. If we can teach other women to do this too, we could save so many lives. Now that you are off of tamox, make sure you check into the iodine protocol. I truly believe that it will eventually become the standard of care over these drugs, if the truth about how it helps to regulate our thyroid, and thus our hormones is ever brought out. That is why I am so thrilled that Stephanie from the iodine group will be speaking at my event in Oct. I sure hope a lot of you will try to come. You can share rooms and have a great time. "Like" our ThinkBeyondThePink facebook page for updates. Another great speaker will be Dr. Hal Huggins who said he will be presenting his latest research on the links to breast cancer and toxic teeth. This weekend is going to change the way a lot of people think about breast cancer.
Impositive-speaking of skin cancer, I have heard Dr. Samuel Epstein speak several times, and he maintains that the rise in breast and skin cancer is related to all the cosmetics we now put on our skin, including all those toxins in sunscreens.
One of the toxins that scares me the most are insect repellents. I gave up golfing because I would get so eaten by mosquitoes. But I went yesterday for the first time in 3 years with my DH because he really wanted to go. I had bought a repellent from Tropcial traditions, where I get my coconut oil and lo and behold, the stuff worked! I was getting attacked after the first hole, then I applied this stuff, and I did not get one bite! I also tried it last week in the garden with the same result. We are under seige this year because of all the rain and this stuff may actually means I can go outside without worrying about West Nile virus, which is also a threat in our area. Go to tropical traditions and check it out. Sorry I did not provide the link, but firefox is blocking it.

Vivre,
I've been taking iodine, but hadn't told the doctors about it. I stopped since this happened until I can talk to someone and make sure the iodine doesn't interfere with the blood thinners.
DLB823- Yes, I'm on coumedin and also Lovenox injections. Thank God my husband is willing to give me the injections because I can't do it! Haven't heard from the hematologist yet, so I really have no additional instructions, which is driving me crazy!

Took the tamoxifen for less than 4 months when I was first diagnosed and treated...over 11 years ago. Didn't like the side effects and was coming off three major surgeries in as many months and wanted to give my body time to heal and not poisin it. Was told by my oncologist that most of the studies were based on post menopausal women and since I was only 38 (at the time) there was no statistical significance for my age group. My mom (post menopausal) took tamo for five years and her cancer returned.
As Vivre so beautifully expressed: "what we have all been through is that it teaches us to follow that inner voice. If we can teach other women to do this too, we could save so many lives." Thankfully I've been blessed with an oncologist that offers the facts and figures and then guides me to a treatment decision that is guided by my inner voice. I believe that changing my diet had the greatest impact on my continued good health and he has always encouraged it.
Best health to everyone!
