Rower Michelle Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 This is a really interesting post. When I was first diagnosed my rowing partner who works in animal health & she told me there’s a lot the vets know about cancer that will never see a human clinical trial. I’m also taking meds off label from my Integrative Medicine doc- Long off patent. The traditional medical team is sort of curious about it. Once I started the Curcumin- my energy level went through the roof- medical onc is scratching his head over the supplements. I have my first scan at the end of this month & I’m not worried about it. I feel really good. Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexieCat Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Other than the part about a "cure for cancer" being suppressed for economic reasons, there does appear to be some evidence to support the utility of some of these drugs. I would never recommend anyone taking any medication without their oncologist's knowledge. And, like most drugs, these most likely work for some people whose cancers have certain characteristics and not for others. For some people they may actually do harm. I think the takeaway is that there are a lot of promising paths for research and I'm grateful that they are being explored and developed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circumin or turmaric has always been an integral part of our meals so I may never know the difference but I surly encourage people especially my husband to seek healing through other means as well.

When you have nothing to loose then I think one needs to try everything that looks or feels promising. I think thats another way of getting closer to'cure'...isnt it?

hope16 Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 More interesting fact is that one can contact this person and seek more information. I had mailed him a query and got the reply within minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Macaulay Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Read couple articles on Circumin on cancer and the amount required for cosumption by humans to have any effect was very very high. I tried it for gout years ago never did me any harm. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hope16 Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 Thanks for sharing....

But will try to add more in salads etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rower Michelle Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Hi there- Bob is spot on. I take 2grams I’m the morning and 2grams in the evening. They are huge pills. I also take the same amount of fish oil with the curcumin. I call it my spicy fish combo! I’m willing to give anything a try as long as the Integrative & Medical oncologists support it. Let us know what you learn. Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hope16 Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 Thanks for sharing. We are on the alternate treatment regime. Have you heard about Dr yeshi dhondhen in dharamshala India, a bidhdhist monk, who received one of the most prestigious civilian award this year in India? He is mentioned in the book called anti cancer. We are currently under his treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rower Michelle Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I just got the Anti-Cancer book this week. My Integrative oncologist trained with Andrew Weill MD. I call him my Hippie Doc. I’d be cautious with some of the supplements. I was taking vitamin E but later learned it could diminish the effectiveness of Alectinib. Keep us updated Hope!

Hence we started this herbal treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rower Michelle Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Hi Hope, I went to cooking class a few weeks ago to learn about nutritional healing. They recommended a cook book that just arrived. It looks pretty good to me and thought I would share with you as well- The Cancer Fighting Kitchen by Rebecca Katz and Mat Edelson. Bon Apetite, Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Hi Michelle, thanks for the suggestion, I just ordered the book The cancer Fighting kitchen ..got it used for $3.98... sounds interesting and I like to cook. This is also a really good cancer kitchen book from the UK.. "The Rainbow Diet - and how it can help you beat cancer" by Chris Woollams and " Rainbow Recipes" This is from NIH Mistletoe is one of the most widely studied complementary and alternative medicine therapies in people with cancer. In Europe, mistletoe extracts are among the most prescribed drugs for patients with cancer Ask your Hippy Doctor? Hope your scans are good...Tomm.

Rower Michelle Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Hi. Tomm- I see the hippy doc for acupuncture on Thursday & will ask him about mistletoe. I’ve read some interesting things about it too. He’s a big fan of low dose naltrexone (4.5mg) and alpha lipoic acid. I’ll look for the Rainbow Recipes too. My in-laws are Brits & I like to cook too. Husband likes to eat! Hope- let us know if you make anything that turns out well Thanks for sharing! Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
