My husband has just been diagnosed with Stage 4 NSCLC Adenocarcinoma, there is spread to his lymph nodes in the chest and lymph nodes in his abdomen. He is 31, non-smoker and overall healthy guy.
I wanted to see if anyone has tried alternative therapies or has integrative medicine as part of their cancer treatment. Such as acupuncture, Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF), photobiomodulation, or controlled oxidative stress therapies?
These are some things we are doing as part of his healing journey:
My husband has a naturopath we met with and it’s been quite helpful in terms of changing his diet, how to consume the most protein and supplements he can take. I would be happy to share what they recommended.
He is currently on Carboplatin + Pemetrexed + Keytruda. 4 cycles every 21 days, just had his first cycle on 5/15. For his supplements, he’s taking Folic Acid and Turkey tail extract.
He is also taking Curcumin, Omega 3, Wheat Grass and L-Glutamine. We also made a paste of black seeds and honey, 1 tablespoon a day for any inflammation.
We have switched to an all organic anti-inflammatory diet with minimal sugar and almost no processed foods at all.
He’s been drinking a lot of herbal teas specifically sour sop leaves tea and we also found a Chinese ancient herbal doctor who has put together a concoction of herbs for him.
Topically, he’s been applying a castor oil pack and CBD oil to help with any pain management.
