    Welll.....as it turns out...i guess it's not all about genetics...

    Carcinogens have infiltrated the generic drug supply in the U.S.

    FDA warns heartburn drug Zantac may cause cancer


    A substance that could cause cancer has been found in the heartburn drug Zantac and several other antacids, the Food and Drug Administration announced Friday. The agency said preliminary tests found low levels of a substance known as NDMA, classified as a "probable human carcinogen," in ranitidine products that treat heartburn and stomach ulcers, according to the statement, which only named brand drug Zantac. Despite the warnings, the FDA said it was not calling for people to stop taking...


    Yeah, god forbid the multinationals should suffer economic losses...who the fk is listening to the FDA anymore? Are you fkng kidding me?? What a joke!!

    Not to mention antacids that contain aluminum... or proton pump inhibitors, which cause low absorption of b12 in the intestine ... aluminum and low b12 are associated with Alzheimer and senile dementia. My mother has taken those crap for years ... now she's like this...

    Thanks Nicole. I know that you had a tough time at first getting to grips with things and also moving but you are a great contributor and ask lots of questions which of course is what these threads are about. I chose to leave a gap of seven months since my last ct - how brave/dumb am I?

    Frisky and others - I googled the company Valisure LLC mentioned in the article. They are an online pharmacy who analyzes drugs from each batch before selling them and sends you a Certificate of Analysis with your order. I’ve already ordered my BP meds from them since I am on one that has been recalled before. They also sell supplements and OTC meds that also come with a COA. They aren’t accepting all insurance as yet, but the prices on many of the drugs are low and could be lower than the co-pay alone for some insured people.

    Don’t want to sound like I am advertising for them 😉😁but it just looks like it could be a good resource for some of us.

    Also want to say that I also appreciate Santabarbarian’s contributions on this and other threads 👍🏼 As well as everyone in this one who shares info and results about complementary treatment. I don’t post in this one much but I do read regularly. I wish peace, strength and healing for all of us.

    Olma, that's good to know...thank you for posting a viable solution to what's a nightmare scenario for us and the other American people.

    I was wondering how many of the cancer medications we've been taking have been produced by the same company, with the same cheap solvent, that leaves such a powerful cancerogen in the so-called medications....

  • olma61

    Yes! I think any med is at risk for this kind of contamination, especially the imported and generic ones. And we are almost always given the generic.

    This could explain fast growing cancers, since this carcinogen kills people quickly

    I've read that a lot of our generic drugs are produced in China. There has been a lot of concern about the quality of the drugs..

    Chico, I have gone 2 years w/o scans, I hate them! Especially the nuclear bone scans. I feel like...if I'm feeling ok, no pain, then why? Scans don't cure cancer, they only tell where it is, so they can give us more drugs. I had scans Jan 2017 and then not until Jan 2019. I was sick (not cancer related) June and July, and they did CT scan in July. So if my onc wants to do nuclear bone, since that is where all my mets are, then I'm ok with that.

    Goldie you are so right about the scans but because I was on a trial for 2.5 years I had to have 3 monthly ct and 6 monthly bone scans as well as monthly bloods and xgeva so it just feels very freeing but slightly worrying to have the choice about when I have a scan and also what sort. Well done you for taking control.

    Fyi I was chatting to an Onc I know who confirmed that ILC should be treated as a separate disease and that scans are generally of less use than for people like me who are IDC😊

    Santa, cilantro and scallions are known as coriander and spring onion here :).

    Thank you again. It does not seem hard to use all this stuff but I keep forgetting :(

    Yes Sonia and Simone...it seems the same Chinese and Indian companies with dirty manufacturing facilities that are NOT up to code produce medications for ALL companies regardless of the names on the labels ....Novartis was sold a generic version of one of their medication that was contaminated....its a really serious problem! I'm so sorry your mother is one of the victims of this horrible situation

    FDA can't interfere with their production methods....completely useless in protecting our health

    Yndorian, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 from a biopsy of my supraclavical lymph node. I always thought supraclavical lymph nodes were Stage 4 but hope I am wrong. When diagnosed, my bones, liver and supraclavical lymph nodes were filled with mets but because I was pregnant, I couldn't get normal scans or a biopsy elsewhere to confirm cancer anywhere else other than the lymph nodes.

    JFL: Mine is a waiting war. I did not have a biopsy because the ultrasound showed a "node with normal size and characteristics" It showed up after breast biopsy. I had chemo and it remains the same size although those in my armpit reduced their size ... My MO says that it is small and that the rads will take care of it ... I don't understand very much, but that little bastard is the reason that why I am too interested on this thread...

    how do you know it is cancerous ? Have you done PET scan and it shown uptake?

    I have quite a nodes in my left axilla ( counterlateral) but they started in 2009 there , biopsy was taken and determined it was a reaction to breast implant.

    Sorry if it is a stupid question

    Anotherone : It is not a stupid question at all. The whole thing is very confusing and I guess my MO is waiting to finish the rads to see what happens with the node ... It isn't even swollen, it is just there... She says "we will be watching it"

    Wonderful, wonderful news Simone!!!! I am so happy for you!!!!

    Congrats, Simone!!! Wonderful news.

    I scheduled a consult with the COC this week. I don't feel comfortable being my own guinea pig just yet like some of the fierce women on this thread taking fenben but do feel comfortable with the COC, which has safety and some efficacy data behind it and where one is actually treated by an MO who is considering the safety of the protocol drugs in combination with the traditional therapies one is taking. For those who are doing the COC protocol, have you told your primary MOs about it and if so, how did they react?

    Yndorian, watching how the node responds to rads should provide you with some useful info. If the size doesn't change, then it may not be cancer. If it shrinks, then it likely is cancer. When diagnosed, my supraclavical lymph nodes right above the clavical bones were palpable and visible. Each 2cm. I had been watching and worrying about them for many, many months (of delayed diagnosis). One enlargement started on the right side and stayed at 1cm for a long time. Then one developed on the left side and stayed at 1cm for a long time. Medical professionals don't seem too concerned so long as the lymph nodes are 1cm or under, although in many cases, there may be cancer in there. Mine disappeared in about one month's time of hormone therapy alone and have never returned in nearly 5 years. However, my liver beasts that I have had just as long are keeping me on my toes. What side is your node on? Apparently the supraclavical lymph nodes on each side receive lymph fluid from different areas of the body.

    Simone, congratulazioni on your NED status, I'm so very happy for you!! May these changes be permanent!

    So what happens now? Will you continue with the COC protocol or do you get to stop?

    What about the letrazole, ibrance? Do you stop taking those as well??

    Your news is so exciting!!

    Sonia, I hope you get similar great news soon! May that nodules be nothing to worry about!

    JFL, so happy you'll be consulting with the COC doctors. Please let us know what they'll prescribe in your case....

    So many great news tonight! Let's all kick some cancer's butt with a few non-toxic medications!!

    simone , these are wonderful news , enjoy your celebrations!

    JFL, my oncologist just nodded that she heard me when I told her about COC. Someone (may be even her) asked with a bit of annoyance who is going to monitor my blood sugar then. Which is a very pertinent question - my blood sugar is consistently below the norm now - I notice it because I look at it with all the blood tests done. But nobody monitors it specifically. I just hope it is not damaging to my body- should have phoned COC really and ask .

    JFL,

    I haven't yet done my consult with the COC people -- am waiting for my first scan on Ibrance. I'm being seen at Hopkins. When I just had my monthly appointment, I told them I was considering the COC protocol. They had never heard of it (but my bad for not bringing them some information). When I described it to them, they said -- well, that's up to you if you want to do that. Just let us know what it is that you are taking so that we can monitor side effects. Of course, they also gave me the evidence-based medicine talk as well. So, from my perspective, they gave me the okay when I want to pursue this.
