sunshinenys Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Has anyone heard of and researched www.cancertutor.com There is a wealth of information and my mom, who has lung cancer, has opted to begin with the Bill Henderson Protocol at www.beating-cancer-gently.com What are your thoughts on the lengthy but comprehensive and educational information provided? It is very encouraging. Another interesting site for statistics is www.naturalcancertreatments.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa O Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Is she doing this instead of regular treatments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshinenys Posted May 23, 2006 Author Share Posted May 23, 2006 Yes, all my mom is doing is the recommendations from Bill Henderson www.beating-cancer-gently.com. So far she has not had any symptoms besides a cold with a slight cough. From Dec.-Mar. 2006, the repeated catscan showed an increase in nodules. My understanding is that she was in the less advanced stages in terms of size of nodules but they were multiple. Anyway, consult from Sloan gave her 6 mo. if she did nothing. That would be early Sept. We are hoping and praying that God and this vitamin/mineral protocol work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alisa Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I'm sorry to say I think you are being ripped off. Any advertising that starts off saying "Cancer is Easy to Beat" or anything close to that is RIDICULOUS. People/Companies like this prey on our fears and rob us! Now, I am a strong supporter of CAM, and as you can see by my signature line, I take CAM supplements. But our lives are too important to follow the unscientific protocol of a quack. You may want to investigage Evidenced-Based CAM. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joanie55 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 If your mom was lucky enough to be in early stages, why wouldn't she go with a proven protocol that could possibly save her life??? I also have to agree with Alisa. To forgo treatment because someone wrote a book claiming to have "the cure" is CRAZY!! I just don't get it.

sunshinenys Posted May 25, 2006 Author Share Posted May 25, 2006 We are also reading the kevin Troudea's new book about healing. There is really no cost involved except for vitamins and minerals that Bill Henderson does not sell himself. There is nothing in it for him. You can't trust quackwatch because it is run by a retired psychiatrist who has pushback from the pharmaceutical companies that generate his income. He doesn't recommend any natural cure because there isn't any $ in it. I know it is hard to believe but I think my mom or anyone with cancer should not do the big business recommendations. It is all about money. My sister-in-law is now suffering from all the damage from chemo and radiation and has to see a wound specialist and infectious disease specialist because her gaping wounds are not healing since the last surgery.

Alisa Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I'm very familiar with Kevin T's protcol. In my opinion, it's an ok protocol when you are healthy and for prevention, but once you've had a disease, and ESPECIALLY if in conventionally treatable stage, you might want to consider integrating his protocol with conventional treatment. I would think that's better than alternative. Again, just my opinion - and a strong one, I think to go completely alternative should be last resort. Not at this stage for you guys. Please look at all aspects. Treatment can always be stopped if intolerable. By the way, Trudeau's vitamins are very overpriced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshinenys Posted May 25, 2006 Author Share Posted May 25, 2006 Alisa, what is it that you are taking exactly? I want to make sure she is on the best program possible. My mom is on many supplements: flaxseed oil and organic cottage w/live cultures everyday, RM-10, organic multivitamin with several herbs, essiac tea, green tea, and some other stuff I can't remember right now. I understand your lack of belief but we just watched my father die a painful and quick death and he followed all the recommendations of the MD. In retrospect, I saw a healthy man (visually) capable of anything w/ no limitations, deteriorate before my eyes from the onset of treatment-chemo. Within 3 'painful and hard to absorb the reality' months, he finally was put out of his misery Jun. 2, 2005. (Thanks to the drugs from hospice). I know in my heart that had he done nothing, he would have lived for quite awhile longer, maybe a couple years. So, even if you are right and my mom will die anyway, her attitude is "I want to enjoy my life and have a quality to it." We are forging forward and you will see in time what the result is. I am hoping favorable. We did research a lot of info. on not doing traditional tx. Probably more than the average person because of our unique circumstances. There is info. on exactly why it is so difficult to find research-based CAM tx on those web sites. I t is all related to $ . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alisa Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I just wrote a really long reply, but somehow it got deleted and I have to rush back to work. But basically I was trying to encourage a more "integrative" approach, but I respect your decision and didn't mean to be so pushy. You may want to consult with a specialist in this area and I can help you there if you want a referral. IN the meantime, here's what I take: a custom blend chinese herbal tea (nasty tasting) containing many medicinal mushrooms including huanglian and ganoderma; astragalus, polyphenols, licorace root, ginseng, co-enzymeQ10, and other traditional chinese herbs which I don't have the translations for; traditional vitamins (C,D-3,E,Selenium,Zinc); green tea capsules; modified citris pectin; melatonin; IP6 with inositol; tumeric (curcumin); cholestene (a natural statin); thymus spray, celebrex (400 mg/day); Omega 3; worm wood (artemisinin); Thisilyn; CoQ10; PSP/Coriolus Mushroom Extract. On my own I have added 2 super antioxidants that have show to have anti-tumor activity (OPC and ORAC) and I drink pure Whole Leaf Aloe Juice every day. Everything I take is basically evidenced-based CAM and/or Traditional Chinese Medicine. I don't take anything like Essaic or other products like that with no evidence-based like in pubmed, etc. I'm not at a stage where I need to deviate from evidenced based. My herbologist also told me to avoid sugar, as cancer feeds off of it and to have organic dairy. And the usual - eat a lot of veggies and fruit. Take care and feel free to PM me.
