To Your Health! Alternative Cancer Treaments

When my late wife Cyndi was diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer, she was too far gone for conventional treatments. Tumors had spread into her spine and brain and the oncologists could not even perform radiation therapy on her. They sent her home under hospice care to die.

I began researching alternative treatments but many of them required travel to alternative cancer treatment centers and we could not afford the travel nor the treatment. I ran across a physician locally who pointed my to a website called Cancer Tutor. There I discovered several treatments that promised results and none were by any means conventional.

The first of two that seemed promising was sodium bicarbonate and maple syrup. An Italian doctor published an article about something called Insulin Potentiation Therapy or ITP. The theory is that when you starve cancer cells of sugar, they are more receptive to the chemotherapy drugs. This has been used with limited success in treating patients who would be otherwise too weak to survive a full dose of  the drugs.

So what if you use a natural alternative to the chemotherapy drug but reduce the sugar intake also? I read about Dr. Tullio Simoncini and sodium bicarbonate on several websites. See: http://www.regenerativenutrition.com/content.asp?id=490 

One method suggests using 1 part Sodium bicarbonate to 3 parts pure maple syrup. With nothing to lose I mixed up and cooked a batch while Cyndi was still in the hospital. I brought it to her in a small medicine bottle and asked her to try it. Besides the fact that she likes it, I noticed that her catheter bag had a white mucus oozing into it. When I asked a nurse about it I was told that it was due to the antibiotics she was being dosed with via IV. But when I came in the next day, I saw bag that contained the antibiotics were gone, but I did bring another batch of the SB/MS and about twenty minutes after ingesting it, the same mucus flowed into the catheter bag.

I also read about oxygen therapies that included pure oxygen, ozone, and hydrogen peroxide. In my previous post To Your Health! Hydrogen Peroxide   I wrote about hydrogen peroxide treatments for infections. 

I didn't get the opportunity to treat her with IV ozone or hydrogen peroxide. By the time I found a physician willing to run an IV, Cyndi passed on.

Instead of being negative and looking to blame the doctors, hospice and hospital, I have chosen to pass this information on so that others may benefit and not suffer the loss I have experienced.

Stay out of my medicine cabinet!

The FDA recently has demanded that Proctor & Gamble stop selling its Vick's Nyquil products which contain vitamin C because it violates the mixing of supplements with drugs. Now to some this may seem trivial, but in reality it is a blow against the supplement market in general, and against the rights of an individual to pursue a course of treatment they feel comfortable with for their own health.

Contrary to the FDA and AMA position regarding the use of natural supplements, I have found that these supplements have done more to enhance my own health and reduce my need to visit professional health care practitioners significantly. Recently, while battling a kidney stone, I used chamomile tea for pain and apple cider vinegar to reduce the stone(s) for passing. The only other treatment was using a heating pad on the area in pain, and that also proved to be most effective, and I did not have to ingest any pain medications at all.

My Grandfather who was a physician for over 50 years, and a man that I respected more than anyone, insisted that drugs treat symptoms and do not cure diseases. I see advertisements on television for drugs that relieve symptoms of allergies, arthritis pain, Asthma, erectile dysfunction, cholesterol, and the list goes on. No cures offered, only relief of the symptoms. But at what price?

If drugs don't cure, then why are we being "forced" to take them? If natural supplements work within the body to build and reinforce the immune system, then why are they ostracized? Plain and simple, it is all about profits. The AMA has done nothing short of extorting from the drug manufacturers, to lobby the government to keep out any real cures from reaching the public.

Americans must be informed, they must be made aware of treatments and cures that do work, even though they have not been sanctioned by the AMA or the FDA. The FDA needs to be held accountable to the people, and not to the AMA and the pharmaceutical companies that profit from this collusion.

Let your Congressional representatives know how you feel and demand they take action on your behalf. After all,they do work for us, and not the lobbyists from corporations.
