Herbalism

[Julie]

Okay, so I don't usually publicly discuss controversial healing agents, especially those deemed by the FDA as deadly. Which they are not. It just happens to be an amazing find and the FDA hates this fact (it is cheap) and has cured hundreds of thousands of people and millions have taken it without a single death. Go figure!!!

MMS is simply Chlorine Dioxide and I take it daily. When I was in India, I was covered with open sore mosquito bites all over my body. The doctors were more than concerned I would get Malaria, but I knew different. I was drinking MMS daily and while my sores were ugly, I was working 16 hour days and traveling the country side and should have been sick, beyond sick. I do not share the with many, but I have breast cancer (diagnosed in 2011) and I take MMS daily as a preventative of growth and people, nothing is growing. I believe in this, like some believe in the gospel.

I am going to put some links here and just implore you to read. Jim Humble who founded this in 1996 by accident, has been treating people for free in third world countries. This is not expensive, it is pennies a day and he really does help people.

Just keep an open mind.

EDITED: I opted to not have a prophylactic mastectomy or chemo. I chose this route instead.
EDITED AGAIN: Under no circumstances am I suggesting people follow my personal protocol. This was simply MY CHOICE for MY BODY!

Hey, Julie, I am sorry to read of your diagnosis. I didn't know you had been having to manage something like this. Please know I respect your choice to not utilize surgery and chemicals to rid yourself of this disease/slow down/stop the growth, of the disease.

Dapper - The only time I remember I have this is when I have to go for my 6 month mammo's and mri's and my 2x a year visit to my breast surgeon and oncologist. Other than that. I completely forget, until something reminds me like this thread. And trust me, my oncologist was not happy with me and my choice. And as far as I know, it could be gone. It is cellular and has not progressed into a mass. I have had a biopsy this then for a benign adenoma - but i am high risk, so any mass it going to be checked immediately. They caught it early, stage 1 and it was found after I had my reconstruction surgery from a previous partial mastectomy.

Looks like a great book so far!

Yep, tumors FEED off of sugar. That is how they grow. I used to get so pissed when I would go into my chemo infusion room every other week and see the peppermints and candy bowls at the nursing station for the patients. Agh! <they removed them by the time I stopped going there...cough>.

That book, the way one eats, the supplements one might take, etc. is all about making the body inhospitable to cancer. We all have cancer cells, but some people are more predispositioned to getting it. It isn't the predisposition that gives you the cancer, it is whether or not there is environmental factors in your life that can result in the growth of cancer. cancer does not magically appear because your body is predisposed to it based on genetics. Cancer does not grow in a predisposed vaccuum.

I got colon cancer at age 39. I was of average weight/nicely toned body, but ate like shit. I also didn't do any structured exercise, I drank alcohol regularly, did not get enough sleep, did not attend to my emotional health while having a high stress job, and live in a state that is in the top 5 when it comes to getting cancer (poor air quality). Having that predisposition + those factors resulted in my getting cancer. If this was not my environment, there is a good chance I would have never gotten it.

So, now I have to make my body a place cancer has no power to grow in. The foods I eat and the way I take care of my mental health and body is what can keep it from happening. It is about creating an inhospitable place for cancer.

I really need to reread that book. As I sit here writing this with my glass of wine (at least it is wine...and red at that!), all I can think about is how far off the path I have become again...not terribly off the path, but I could do much better. I'm glad for this discussion.

Thanks for sharing all this. I hear you say that you don't think about it, yet at the same time, you live your life doing good things for your body so that your cancer doesn't return (such as taking the correct supplements for you). You have just made fighting cancer a part of living your life.

As an aside, do you take Coq10?

[Medusa]

Coq10! I saw some giant bottles of that earlier today at Sam's Club when I stopped to get my Pops a "reward pie" for going to the Oncologist and getting poked.


Have seen a lot of good writings about this one as well. Saw an article a few days ago about studies that were done back in the early 60s where folks who had certain types of Cancer had low levels of Coq10 in their bodies. (and apparently our bodies produce this naturally!!??)

CoQ10 (Ubiquinone,) helps regulate our blood sugar, lowers our blood pressure, helps keep our gums healthy, and all kinds of good stuff. While it is true that our body does make CoQ10, many medications (primarily anti-depressants,) deplete what is made. No daily value has been established, I take 100mg/day, and I can always feel it, when I forget to take it - I feel better when I take CoQ10.

As usual do your homework, and ask your Doctor before taking any supplements.

Wonderful thread, Thank you Medusa.

" The PH Miracle " is another good read regarding inflammation.

I'm currently learning about fermented foods.

"Nourishing Traditions" is an incredible book about Weston Price's work.


"Healing Tooth Decay" is my next purchase. Based on the work of W.Price it focuses on healing dental deficiency through nutrition.


Thank you all for your contributions!

I have a problem with driving at night cause of bad stigmatism (?) in both eyes,recently I got new glasses but the place I got them from didn't do the lenses right so they will be doing them again and right this time,they were supposed to put a h.d. tint on them plus tri focals not bi's.My question is,what can anyone do for tired sore eyes? Driving at night is killing me as my eyes burn and run tears,I have eye drops but can anything work better,even bright lights in a building is an issue at times.I am back to wearing my old pair that have magnetic h.d. shades to use as I need them.

I am high risk for breast cancer and colon cancer. This has been a part of my life for 20 years. So yes, I live my life fighting cancer daily. You are SO RIGHT!

I take a product by Thorne - Q-Best 100 which is Coq10. I also take a bunch of other supplements.

I had a bit a scare last month (really scary) and they found I had a blood clot through a DDimer test (+3400). I thought I was having a heart attack, but it was a blood clot that had most likely broken off. Therefore, I am on natural blood thinners and tons of cardiovascular supplements. My heart and lungs (surprisingly) are strong and young.

I have an appointment next week with my naturalist and we will see where I am at and what supplements we need to add. Since taking her protocol, I feel healthier than I have in years. Though expensive - this is running about $250 a month, but my boss is paying for everything. In contrast to the $6 a month I would be paying for pharmaceuticals

I am happy to read Dapper that you are doing so much better since your colon cancer. It is so important for us to be vigilant with our bodies.

Liquid life comes in different flavors. I get mango flavored. It has a strong vitamin after taste. I chase it with a swig of diet coke. Make sure you shake the bottle well to mix it everytime you use it . But I am convinced it is why I have no gray hair and still feel like I did when I was 18. It is made from an ancient root of some sort. They had a factory in Tulsa and my company used to ship it for them. But a few years ago they moved to Ca. That is how I know about them. I have been using it for 16 years.

Medusa-

Every cell in our body has CoQ10. The purpose of CoQ10 is for cellular growth and maintenance. That is pretty much the whole ball of wax when it comes to our body systems, right there!

I think you are referring to a study done in 1961/1962 (?), where they found that people with many different types of cancer (colon, lung, breast, etc), had low amounts of CoQ10. There was some evidence that CoQ10 supplements was helpful to individuals with breast cancer, but I have not heard of any studies replicating this.

Julie-

I use Integrative Therapeutics UBQH.

I hear you about cost. I pay around $300-$350/month. I am fortunate in that I have someone who helps me with the cost, as well. What I take is based off the blood work I did for K. Block, M.D. I was supposed to follow up with more blood work after 6 months, but I am irresponsible like that. It has been 2 years and I have just been ordering the same stuff. I doubt it would change that much, but I do need to follow through.

Medusa - speaking of Block, he was really cool. He was a bit rough looking when I met him because he had just taken the red eye home from a snow boarding trip! He's an old hippy, too.
