Magicdirt Posted February 26, 2011 No one has mentioned B17 as far as I know.... Very controversial. I don't have a specific link but there is definitely something to this vitamin. It has a contentious history, many claim it to be a cancer cure. I believe apricot kernel oil is high in B17. I cracked an apricot seed open once and the kernel looked remarkably like an almond and it tasted more like an almond than almonds do, more intense that is. TCM practitioners recommend almonds for many cancer patients so there may be something to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Auxin Posted March 1, 2011 A news release from the US national institute of health yesterday relates how in preliminary research daily fish oil consumption seems to prevent chemo related malnutrition and muscle mass loss [1] Previous research indicates fish oil helps combat depression and possibly lowers risk of stroke by counteracting non-fasting hypertriglyceridemia (which is a better predictor of ischemic stroke risk than cholesterol or LDL) Might be worth investigation.

wandjina Posted June 20, 2011 hello everyone Last Friday I got the good news that after 6 months of gruelling chemo my liver in clear and there's no sign of anything anywhere else! No mean feat considering that in January I was close to liver failure - but now my liver looks normal. No spots! My oncologist, and current conventional biomedical 'wisdom', says that the cancer will most likely return - but they also admit that really they dont know what will happen because it is a very very rare kind of cancer (hence not much data, relatively speaking), the way it manifested in my body was unusual, and my response to treatment exceeded expectations. I suspect they're writing up a paper on my case - every med student in Sydney seemed to be sent my way at some point. Seems I'm a curiosity lol Anyhoo, I'm finally starting to feel human again and slowly getting my energy back after the chemo. It was pretty brutal towards the end. blech I've found a wonderful Traditional Chinese doctor who specialises in oncology and using herbs as an adjunct or on their own to help build ones immune system. I'm also exploring a few other avenues - on multiple levels. I've come to more fully appreciate what I need to do so as to heal myself - whether or not I am cured...which has meant more deeply acknowledging the possibility I may very well die. Phew - hairy stuff. But then we never know when we're gonna go...or how. So much more I'd like to say but I'm just too pooped atm! Thankyou from the bottom of my heart to everyone who offered support, advice, compassion and love. The kindness and consideration shown me has meant so so much, I'm so grateful. Thank you. I'll keep ya posted. Loads of love x 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
