Re: progesterone
Denise,
Suzanne Somers wrote a book entitled The Sexy Years. She talks about her use of progesterone in her recovery from breast cancer. I, too, have breast cancer and was talking w/ my oncologist about using progesterone. She told me that years ago, before Tamoxifan, they used high doses of progesterone to treat breast cancer. HOWEVER, I concur w/ some of the others: I would not use it w/o doing the saliva tests because the key is BALANCE. Too much of a good thing can cause trouble. I believe this is what Dr. Budwig was striving for: balancing the body so that it was operating optimally. Blessings and healing to you! Jan |

You misread what Melissa said. She said bc (breast cancer), not bp (budwig protocol). I've pasted that part of her post below.

Re: Update on my wife's painful scalp tumor: please give your feedbacks
Satish,
I was at an alternative clinic a year ago. There was a woman there w/ breast cancer. After awhile her tumor turned to liquid and "erupted" out of the skin. It oozed for about 24 hours and was painful. She went to her oncologist and they did scans. The dr. was dumbfounded that the tumor was gone. However, a surgeon did go in and "clean up". Hope this is helpful. I'll be praying for your wife. Jan --- In FlaxSeedOil2@..., satish hegde <satishhegde@...> wrote: its original rocky-hardness and has become like a bowl with liquid inside.

OFF TOPIC
Hi all,
I have a friend who has vulvodynia and vulvar vestibulitis. We have a very informed group here, not only with regards to cancer but many other medical conditions. I have already emailed Sandra privately, but unfortunately she was not able to help. My friend has been to the Dr and has tried many different things, which have not helped. If anyone has any info or suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated. Please email me privately. Thank you. Janet |

You can find goat's "ARAVA" cottage cheese in most health food stores in Israel. If you wish, you can drive to the Dairy (Haez Halevana"- 08-8596968) and buy directly from them. Tell them that Gubi from Ra'anana sent you, and they will give you a substantial discount. You can buy 3 weeks' supply as it keeps that long in the refrigerator. I suggest you buy the 3% (versus the 5%) cheese. Gubi ----- Original Message -----

Update on my wife's painful scalp tumour
Hi Satish, I have been reading a book called Essiac Essentials (Rene
Caisse's Herbal Cancer Remedy...... essiac tea). Not that I am promoting Essiac tea, merely informing you regarding results which appear to be similar to what your wife is experiencing. The book describes one of the cases ie thirty year old man who had tumour on the brain stem. After taking Essiac tea a cyst on his neck began to enlarge (his tumour is on the brain stem). It became very hard and sore, by the end of the month, was leaking clear liquid and a cottage cheese like substance. The pain around the cyst disappeared and whatever was left of the tumor was discharging out of his nose. It also explains that swelling occurs when matastasised cells gather into the primary tumour. Cottage cheese effect... resembling curds and clear liquid occurs as the cancer breaks up and discharges from either the bodily orifices or from localised cysts or swellings. Hope this helps..... Kind regards...... Denise (Good health to everyone) |
DHEA and breast cancer (PROGESTERONE)
Melissa, I am still taking progesterone. I am not sure what you mean
when you say 'I still believe that Progesterone is protective against BP'. Do you mean you think it works against BP or do you think it helps BP. I am only asking as I am trying to work that one out for myself. My 'basic' understanding is that Progesterone stops the cells from splitting/dividing. I don't know whether that means it stops them from maturing (which would work against BP). I am hopeing it just 'simply' means, stopping them dividing in general. (ie slowing the process down). I thought this would give me a bit more time for the BP to work and for my body to get 'fighting fit' as I had previously just had 6 sessions of chemo (every 3 weeks), and a major operation to repair damage to my intestines from radiotherapy 5 years previous. (I was hospitalized 4 times during chemotherapy). My thoughts were that the diet would probably take longer to work as the cells weren't dividing as quick as normal. This seems to be the case, as I am doing the rest of the diet 110 per cent (to compensate for progesterone), and at last after 4 months I am seeing changes in the lymph nodes. I would appreciate your/any group members views/comments, or any info you have gained which would help me make the decision whether to continue with progesterone. Everyones input is greatly appreciated. Kind regards...... Denise Wishing everyone good health......... |

Update on my wife's painful scalp tumor: please give your feedbacks
Hi Sandra / Loretta, Peter / Rena and all
In last coupe of weeks, the tumor grew to bigger and it has lost its original rocky-hardness and has become like a bowl with liquid inside. The tumor has opened-up in few places and it is oozing out blood-like liquid continuously and she has to change her scarf many a times. The pain has reduced considerably. I am crossing my fingures and closely watching the further devlopments hoping that the tumour size may come down. Let me know your thoughts on the same. Note: forwarded message attached.

Re: DHEA and breast cancer
Melissa
Jennifer, that's something you'll have to decide for yourself ... I was taking DHEA and
progesterone when I found my mets. I still believe that progesterone is protective against bc, but now that I'm doing BP, I'm not using any hormones at all. From what I understand, she was against that. And, I just wasn't sure if I should continue the hormones, given my mets, or not. It's definitely a controversial topic ... I would really like to know what all your dr is saying about that with your mets ... ??? xxoo Melissa --- In FlaxSeedOil2@..., Jennifer Reese <jennieb1@...> wrote: which is apparently very low - but I have metastasized breast cancer - and wonder if it is worth the trade off .

Ambrotose is the brand name of a glyconutrient product produced by Mannatech. It is an MLM company. You can do a search on glyconutrients and come up with all kinds of info on it. You can also find a few mentions of it in the flaxseedoil2 archives. I think in the discussions we've had here the conclusion has been that though it is certainly not necessary add anything to Budwig, Ambrotose probably does not interfere. It is a food rather than a supplement. It is pretty expensive. It would cost about $500 a month to take it in the proportions recommended for seriously ill people. So it's not very practical for most of us. Like I said, I'm taking it because my friend ships it to me. During the months that I was too sick to eat properly I was hoarding it, so I've got quite a stash. Melanie ----- Original Message -----

Yes you can yogurt goat or bovine. You must however strain it to remove the whey. Any porous cloth--like cheese cloth until you have a soft cheese like consistency. This will be like quark.

I'm curious about the source of your information. Is it based on a research study that you could find and link in a message to the group? I notice that you used the word, "supposedly." It sounds as though you aren't sure about your statement. Do you recall where you heard or read this information? Here's a link to an article by a gastroenterologist at the Mayo Clinic who says stools of various colors are quite normal. Other articles that I read when I Googled this topic said that stools are often the color of the foods we have been eating. Sandra Jerome Wallach wrote: CORRECTION |
