Ringworm drug for dogs (Fenbendazole) might also cure cancer

I also have no prejudice with food if it is organic, but the amount of hormones and antibiotics that will have entered my body with the poor quality milk of my country must have been enormous. Unfortunately, the culture of organic is still very small here, and organic products are reserved for export or are extremely expensive. With that environment, I can only follow my instincts and support the immune system and my elimination organs ....

Most probably balanced diet for everyone is the one that was cultivated by his/her ancestors. When I read that dietologists encourage a Lithuanian to eat avocados or go vegan, it seems a bit crazy to me. First time when I saw an avocado was maybe ~ year 2000, and suggestion to be vegan when you have 9 months of winter and no local vegetables is simply mind-blowing:) Dear Frisky, most of the things in our world are "garbage" because of mass-production, but there are also a lot of good things, and I see many nice changes, and we are wise enough to go for them. And... I am always getting attached. To you too!:) And to your results!:) Sorry to be smiling - that is just the way I usually am. Hugs to everyone, Saulius

I have some monkfruit and erythritol in my pantry. Do you think either one would work instead of stevia? I've never been to trader joes, I'll look for one in my area.
0 -
Yes they would work, the measure for the erythritol is like that for sugar, so I would probably use 3/4 of a cup....of that...the monkfruit I'm not familiar with...
You might not find TJ in Arizona, if I remember correctly, we shopped in Las Vegas before driving to the National Parks...we stayed in a town near Best Friends...which I REALLY LOVED...you live in a spectacular state, I envy you

Thanks Frisky. We moved here a little over a year ago. We love it, there is so much to do. I love to hike and there are so many trails here.
We do have Traders Joe here. It's about 30 mins away, but that is the norm here.

Yes, Saulius....there are many wonderful things for us to eat, that's why it's not smart to support the junk food producers....I feel good buying and supporting the local farmers that bring their produce to my neighborhood 4 days a week...
it's like being in Italy...and it's the only reason why I chose to live in this neighborhood...it's huge and a major destination for the gourmands in the whole city, including chefs...not everything is good...I bought a $40 rabbit once that took 4 hours to cook and tasted like cardboard...so no more rabbits for me...
0 -
That's great! You will love TJ...the quality and prices are unbeatable! It's like Whole Foods for the budget conscious...lots of organic and imported goods..
Lunch today...about to go in the oven...shiitake mushrooms, ricotta, olives and Aleppo pepper...yummy!

Wow Frisky, sure you have these markets! We buy from them too but we also buy directly from farmers or fishers that we know. We only eat home-baked bread (thanks my mother!). I also love going to forests to pick some grasses, wild onions leaves, berries and mushrooms, and our forests are absolutely full of them. If you know places you can go and get basket of boletus mushrooms in an hour or so:) I want to pass this love on to my son, so I take him to forest to forage too. Hehe, I cannot stop giggling at your aphorism "rabbit tasted like cardboard":)
0 -
These are the food producers...no commercially produced foods are allowed by law...you get to meet the people that grow the foods...
You’re so lucky that you can still forage....in the countryside here there isn’t much left to find..because they don’t have a long farming tradition like we have in Europe for the past few thousand years... and the original forest were decimated, so everything is kind of sterile...
I did find some turkey tail mushrooms once...

Yndorian, don't feel bad about eating yogurt before you were diagnosed. Even the study cited in the article found that yogurt was actually associated with a lower incidence of cancer.
Quote: "Results: Total dairy intakes were associated with a non-significant 15% reduction in breast cancer risk (P= 0.11). Higher intakes of yogurt were associated with reduced risk of breast cancer (OR: 0.61; 95% CI: 0.46, 0.82) and higher intakes of American, cheddar, and cream cheeses were associated with a marginally significant increased risk (OR: 1.53; 95% CI: 0.99, 2.34; P = 0.05)."
Also, note that the "marginally significant increased risk" is associated with Cheddar cheese, cream cheese and so-called American cheese. Now, "American cheese" is a particular product, it is a processed food that has ingredients other than milk. For example, "Kraft Singles" is "American cheese" but actually it must label itself as "cheese product" or "cheese food" because it isn't a real cheese - it has less than 51% milk. There also used to be "american cheese" slices that were made mostly with oil. Although Kraft singles doesn't currently contain oil, there still might be other products that do.
I'm not sure cream cheese is an actual cheese either. Ingredients might depend on what brand you buy. I haven't eaten cream cheese in years, when I did eat it, it was occasionally on a bagel. Cheddar is a real cheese but since this study was based on self report, I suspect it is possible that people could be eating processed "cheese food" but perhaps believe they are eating real cheddar.
Frisky, I agree we should be choosy about which dairy and meat products we do use. I am all for that and all for eating more vegetables and fruit versus processed, high sugar products. And if people want to go vegan, more power to them...if they do their research and decide it is right for them.
I'm just not in favor of propaganda campaigns which I think PCRM's advocacy is. Don't mean to be a contrarian
but it never hurts to look a little deeper and get into the details of any of these articles or studies.PS - your pizza looks delicious!

I want to eat at Frisky's!! Yummy.
Just cooking from scratch with clean, local ingredients is a pretty good diet.
I actually had a (small) hot fudge sundae today. I was at a street food festival and the purveyor is a local homemade ice cream place (not organic but very good, small batch place, & NOT too sweet...) -- It was probably my third "dessert" since August 2018.
OMG It was just delicious. I savored every bite.
In my case I eat very cleanly at home but on vacation, or at someone else's home I loosen up and have a few carbs if that's what is being served. I miss bread/fries more than sugar. It isn't hard for me to say "no" to treats most of the time, if I know I can have one once in a while, like today.

Frisky,
You are so lucky to have a market like that so close to your home. Your pizza looked yummy also. I think we all want to eat at your house.

Isn't it amazing how some food is sold as the real thing? I am not sure what is in American cheese but it doesn't taste like real cheese.
0 -
hah yes, and the ones that are individually wrapped are the worst. The "American cheese" that they slice at the deli counter is less bad. But that pre-packaged stuff -- I hear it has to be individually wrapped in order to 'congeal' otherwise it wouldn't resemble cheese at all.
Ironically, and not to bash vegans at all, but now companies are marketing some "vegan cheeses" - some of these are made with oils and starch which is pretty gross and is just like the old nasty "American cheese food" stuff.
If I were to go vegan or non-dairy, I would look for the vegan cheese that is made from nuts only and not canola oil.

I looked a bit into vegan food - too high sugar content for my liking, too much of human made stuff like cheese that you mention or cream as well. Going both vegan and no carbs is mind boggling to even think about.

Anotherone, how are you doing?

A better vegan diet is "whole foods, plant-based." Vegan cheeses, etc are processed foods.

Santabarbarian, agree. There’s definitely a category of “vegan junk food” also vegans who eat too much sugar and vegans who don’t maintain a healthy weight

Yndorian , I guess you are talking about dating one - yes having been in both earlier stages and stage 4 single looking for someone position I can attest to stage 4 presenting a specific set of challenges, at least in my head. I have written a PM to you about a month ago following seeing your posts on the dating section of this forum I believe which you have not responded to - probably you missed it. We may catch up re dating in that section . I am ok thanks for asking. My round trips of 12 hours to a complementary therapy clinic twice a week for vitC and oncothermia finished. My hair although coming out in massive clumps ( shame I lost the picture of one particularly bad one) still does not require a wig ( I am doing cold caps) but not sure for how long it will continue. 6 weeks after my ex partner moving out I feel at piece although still somewhat weird re perception of him - either with loyalty and empathy as it used to be or with a feeling that I have nothing to do with him now beyond a level of superficial acquaintances and his choices , consequences , joys and sorrows are not my business.
How are you with your son , house , parents?
I feel very disheartened re food , both vegan and whole food one even with occasional cheats , ie not religuous just feels unachievable.. I may settle with doing small changes bit by bit - would have to Google vegan whole food recipes and tips. I don't even mention making it no/low carbs on top of it !

Anotherone: Did you send the PM to the Yndorian user? Because that is my old user, I had problems accessing it and I had to create a new one (Yndorian1) The mods closed the previous user but unfortunately the posts are still there, I can't delete them. I haven't received your message, and I have probably lost others, now I understand why. I don't remember what post you are referring to ... could it be any of the steam room for anger? Because that is in an open forum. I don't post anymore in IV stage forum after the "reminders" 😊 Please PM me at Yndorian1 anytime you want.
I hope the treatment is not being too hard on you ... I send you a hug

It might have been - the post that I was referring to was about recent separation and it was written last spring I believe. Funnily enough I could not locate it in my "sent" box for responding now. I may have a look at the dating with MBC thread on a dating subsection which is open to all. When I can ... I am ok I think- I can do all I used to be able to ( apart from properly sprinting ) , just getting tired easily but then I do not remember how I used to be already. Diarrhoea is unpleasant but loperamide helps , I just need to figure out the right dose. And have that weird feeling that something is off with my taste buds/hunger feeling/intestines.

Anotherone: yes, that was my old user.
Sorry about the chemo issues. I also had a very bad time during chemotherapy. Do not leave the alternative protocols for anything in the world! Big hug to you
0 -
Thank you Yndorian
You have not said how you were with family house etc.
My issues with chemo are far fewer than other people having - I can not complaint if I was abl
e to have days with driving for 10 hours and do practically everything I usually do - would be rich to complaint .. I added dipiridamole to pathway blockers so no , instead of quitting it I add:)
Here is a picture that hopefully will make you smile

I saw some chatter about turkey tail a few pages back. I started taking it 5 or so months ago. I researched it heavily and didn’t find any contraindications for me. I used the same brand and dosing used in the clinical trials held by U of Washington, in conjunction with Bastyr University (a naturopathic college), and funded by the National Institutes of Health. I started taking it to boost my blood counts and immune system. Itis also currently being tested as an adjuvant treatment for Stage 4 breast cancer and has produced some positive results in various cancers. It is currently used as a breast cancer treatment in Japan.

Anotherone: Yes, you made me smile ... do you know the Argentine Patagonia? It is beautiful ... although I like more the north, I am a person of warm weather.
Sorry, I don't want to hijack this thread with personal info not related to bc ... I'm going to send you a PM

Hi everyone. Just wanted to check in and let you all know I'm still here and relatively fine. I haven't read for pages. For various reasons (medical) I'm still trying to find the cause to my constant daily headaches.
I don't have messenger on iPhone so I use my computer. It occurred to me that I've been spending way too much time staring at this screen. So, I"m weaning mysef off to see it THATS the cause of headaches since MRI showed nothing. Still rooting and praying for all of you.
0 -
Snooky...I know this may sound ridiculous...but...have you tried taking some Tylenol?
I was experiencing weird headaches for a few days, worrying about them etc etc...till I got tired and popped a pill...they were gone!
Another reason, for my headaches is high blood pressure...You might want to check those numbers...
I hope you feel better...

Hi girls and gentlemen. I'm sitting in hotel room, catching plane home in the morning. 3.5 hour flight, get our car and then 4 hours home. My MO said that because I wasn't having any symptoms, he said we will continue wit Xeloda and see what my nuclear bone scan shows and decide from there. I also asked him to look into the COC protocol and printed out very minimal info for him to look at while I was there. One of the drugs, I forgot which one, he said he would not prescribe because it's bad for the liver. I guess my liver enzymes were up, I did not see that, so guess I missed it!
Sonia, thank you for that "smooth" hug! I hope you are recovering well from rads.
Saulius, your wife as well.
Sandra, I forgot to ask about a PET. I am having nuclear bone in end of November. I need to look up what the difference is between PET and CT.
Snooky, hoping to read it is your thyroid. I have been on thyroid meds for quite some time, but not with symptoms like yours. Well shoot, you say the thryroid is good. I hope they can figure it out. As for your headaches and looking at the computer screen, maybe get yourself a timer and allow so many minutes every hour, or something similar.
Frisky, thank you for the big hug also. Explanation above as to what we will do. Cheese causes cancer? What the heck doesn't anymore...right?
Re: the food we eat. My husband and I are totally different. I have eating at fast food resturants or any restraunt for that matter. I do eat some beef and pork, mostly chicken. I'm not a person that cares for much sweets, altho I do like my ice cream and fresh fruit in a smoothie. I love veggies and eat a lot of chicken. I look for hormone free. I don't have those fancy grocery stores where I live, Spouts, Whole Foods and Trader Joes. I garden and can some and I get goat's milk and eggs from my neighbor. Hubby eats anything that comes in a can or box, frozen or not and goes in the microwave! I don't like any individually wrapped cheese slices, yuck! And DH hubby loves him some Velveeta, I call it cheese wanna be!
Well, I have skimmed over the pages since I left, I was actually surprised there were only
and a half! Sometimes we do that much in a day or less. Love and hugs to you all. I'll be back on Wednesday morning....cheers!0 -
Goldie welcome back, I hope you have a pleasant flight tomorrow! Your voice was sorely missed...so happy you'll be getting a bone scan to ascertain the need to change a tx that has been very good to you...
As far as food is concerned...you grow so much of your own produce...that type of nutrition will counterbalance all sorts of peccadilloes that we’re all guilty of...
A wise man once said: measure is all....and I think he was on to something...
