Beth, I so happy you appreciated the info…some may think it’s too radical.

That’s amazing that your Step Dad at 85 had the foresight years ago to take vitamins and fish oil. See, we can learn from people like him.

The book I recommended, in the back, you’ll see a chart— follow that faithfully–actually your entire family will benefit from that kind of eating.
It lists food in catagories Best to Worst…and of course stay away from the bad stuff.
You can order that book on Amazon .com, it’s always available there.

Until you get the book and read through it, get him started on the fish oil and at least 1000 iu’s of Vitamin d until his level is checked.

Please feel free to ask me anything if i can help at all. I love talking about this, I truly believe it will help.

Good luck with everything….

Hi Beth, I am so very happy for you, thank god. It is what everyone prays for–a clear scan.

You asked if anyone would not do chemo, and I wanted to respond to tell you that if it had been my husband, I would not do it.

What I will say some may not agree with but everyone should research it. I have found that everything I’ve read makes so much sense.

If he has no cancer in him, then he doesn’t need chemo. Chemo will damage healthy cells and weaken the immune system. What you guys need to work on is changing his body. The first thing I would suggest is buying the book ” beating cancer with nutrition” you’ve probably seen it mentioned here before. Follow it like law.

Many times you hear that people who are clear of cancer have reoccurance….it is stated that it is because people don’t look for the unlaying reason which caused the cancer to begin with. Everyone who is blessed to have beaten cancer must think about changing something in them to prevent a reoccurance.

Let me give you this analogy….our bodies are 75 % fluid, including blood. Like a swimming pool our fluid must be PH balanced like the water in the pool. If it’s not balanced, too much acid, the water gets dirty, green and bacteria. Well the same goes for the body…if your body is correctly balanced you should be able to prevent disease. Everything I read regarding this makes sense. They sell PH test paper for humans to check their PH, I would suggest just give it a try.

A side sorry……I have a friend who has been on medicine for years for GERD (acid reflux) and a diet according to his doctor. I told him about the PH balance theory that I learned and he has been following it for a year now and eating oranges again, tomatoes, all the things the doctor told him he could not have, and he is now off his medication and his acid reflux disease is gone. The point is that we have to find out what our bodies are like inside…and you can make changes to your diet to correct problems.

The next time you have a doctor’s appointment, I would suggest to have Dave’s vitamin D level checked. It has been proven that most people are deficient in this vitamin. Look at this link regarding the benefits of vitamin d and fighting cancer.

This is why studies show that people fight cancer better in the summer because of the vitamin d from the sun.

I truly believe people can prevent any reoccurance or anymore damage to cells which become cancer by changing their bodies.

If your husband eats lot of processed foods, red meat, sugar, cookies cakes all that stuff that has preservatives in it…diet products with artificial sugar then he should stop. Get that book..there are a few other great books too…by Richard B

Tia, I did the same thing a couple of months ago. I wrote a letter to Dr. Oz on Oprah’s site asking him to do a show about this cancer.

My thought now is since Dr. Oz is starting his own show in September, now we should bombard him with letters.

I checked to see if his show’s site was on line yet and I couldn’t find it.

RIP Jeff. I am so sad, he was a friend to all posters.

Danielle, Thanks for the kind words and your thoughts….I just started posting again in hopes that maybe something i say can help. I like checking in to see how everyone is doing. It’s painful but maybe part of healing.

Your Jim’s diet sounds the same as my husbands before CC. I learned real quick that what we put into our bodies is vital when sick.

I want to tell you what happened with my hubby not to worry you but to empower you with info.
The infection with my husband ended up being his stent was clogged with 2 gallstones and some sludge. They couldn’t figure this out even though all the symptons pointed to this. They kept saying tumor fevers also…and when we asked why the pain in his right side and shoulder, they said they didn’t know, but it’s probably the cancer. He had all the symptons of gallstones, but no matter how many pictures they took, they didn’t see it. I’m convinced that they overlooked that area because that’s where the tumor was. It took two months and going to a different hospital and doctor to figure out what was wrong.
Do they have an infectious disease’s doctor treating him?
Tell his oncologist that you want him scoped to take a look at the bile duct, maybe they’re missing something.
Also, I had to tell the doctors to give my husband probiotics because of all the heavy antibiotics they were giving him. All those antibiotics kill the good bacteria as well as the bad…and we need the good bacteria to stimulate our immune system. The doctor said something like…”yeah he really could use that” when I asked him for it.
I’m positive all the alternative stuff was working, but the doctors dropped the ball. My husband was strong and gaining weight while on chemo and he was bike riding about 3 miles.
I pray that things get better for you guys.

This is an important discussion and appreciate any information regarding heredity.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that my husband passed of cc (extraheptic), his mom passed of pancreatic cancer and her mother passed of pancreatic.

I am not taking a chance, therefore I have discussed with my children’s doctor what he will do for them starting at an earlier age…for instance, scans. I have also made an appointment for genetic counseling.

I have done major research with regard to nutrition—important vitamins and herbs to boost immunity, antioxidents, etc.

Smash, Lots of shakes….I used protein powder, yogurt, fruit…i kept lots of bags of frozen berries, peaches…etc. on hand and fresh bananas. Add some flax seed oil to yogurt also. If you have a juicer….juice 4 apples, 2 limes and 1 lemon–makes a great fresh apple juice. and juice other kinds of veggies for nourishment. These drinks will nourish her if she can’t put food in her mouth.

I would also start giving her turmeric pills. If she can’t take the pills, try giving her a tablespoon of turmeric everyday mixed with some oil olive with black pepper.

Also, ginger pills with help with the nausea….also, I kept a fresh ginger root in the house all the time….try some in a glass of water…sip on it all day.
and/or freeze the water in ice cube trays and let her suck onthe cubes.
Also, get her on vitamin d–google “vitamin d cancer” and you will see all the information out there.

As you can tell, I am a big proponent of adding natural stuff. The turmeric information from MD anderson…it’s credible enough for me…my kids take it now because of family predisposition.

Good luck
Lulu
