FO/CC-constipation
bob smith
Regina,
Have her try a few of Sunsweet prunes. If that don't work there is a substitute for CC that comes in a capsule I believe. Cliff just recently posted the jnformation on it. I saved it for reference but can't find it now. I'm sure someone else will send the info on it to you. Bob Smith |

Regina, I haven't heard about using tofu, I would wonder if the
sulphur proteins are the same?? Have your mom add a few tablespoons of ground flax seed to the cc/fso mix, and drink lots more water. She should be drinking hald her body weight in ounces ( body weight of 120 drinks 60 ounces of water) Virginia --- In FlaxSeedOil2@..., "marimbac" <reginac@s...> wrote: My mom started fo/cc a month ago after she finished her firstround of chemo for ovarian cancer.

HI Jerry,
I can understand how you are feeling. I was there a few months ago. Just the fact that you have done enough research to find the Budwig diet speaks for how far you have come. I would support you in a decision to avoid western allopathic medical treatments and try CAM. (But I am not your family- just a person on an email list.) Leanard gave you some good answers for your first two questions. I agree with him. The Budwig diet is not hard. You can buy two of her books from Amazon. Barlean's has a lower price on the cookbook- I highly recommend it. Barlean's will also sell you the FSO for wholesale. Call the 800 number and tell them you have cancer. The most difficult part is giving up eating out. Until you can find those few and far between places that cook to a high enough standard for a cancer patient. Have you seen Bill Henderson's e-book? It is full of info and great links on CAM: see his web site for info: Also, have you looked at IPT? iptq.org IMHO, why do your doctors want to do a biopsy on person that this creates difficulty for, when their very expensive PET machine has already confirmed the diagnosis??? In addition to your list, I would add a parasite cleanse ( See Dr. Hulda Clark's book, "The Cure for ALL CANCER" and be sure to remove all toxins from your house, office, etc. What about your dental work? Is your mouth full of Mercury amalgams? Blessings, Virginia --- In FlaxSeedOil2@..., "Jerry Kreyling" <on-the- road@k...> wrote: Hello,about to make.

My mom started fo/cc a month ago after she finished her first round
of chemo for ovarian cancer. It seems that fo/cc makes her very constipated. Has anyone had the same experience? Since she doesn't eat much cheese before, I'm wondering if it is Lactose Intolerance. I've heard that some people used soft tofu instead of cottage cheese? Does anyone one know how much I need to use? Thank you in advance for your reply. Regina |
CCFOFSG / BMI
Three to one ratio
Three tablespoons of cottage cheese ("Friendship" low salt, 1% milk fat) one tablespoon of flax seed oil "Barleans" (not high lignan) one tablespoon of flaxseeds grounded. Often I self meassure, the oil should be well blended in the cottage cheese so it's not visible.

You don't need to eat too much fruit! sufficient would do nicely, either that, or find some other cleansing food to eat before lunch if you prefer not to eat fruit. The main thing is (according to Philip Day) we should help the body to cleanse itself between 4am and noon each day. Yes, I was diagnosed about 14 months ago with stage 4 advanced non-small cell lung cancer. That said though, I really do enjoy the CC+Yo+FSO. I've only ever done holistic treatments. When I saw what chemotherapy had to offer, I decided against it. Most people with my diagnosis who decide to do chemotherapy don't live beyond 10 months. By the grace of God, I'm still doing pretty well - I do feel I'm very lucky. Good luck to you - Les Catterall karatbird@... wrote:

Re: Urgent Questions!
Hi Jerry,
I regret that I can a few of your questions, and only w/regard to guidelines I've read about for cancer patients in general. I don't know enough to say anything about your specific issues. From: Jerry Kreyling <on-the-road@...> 2. Can I eat things like fish or organically raised meat?Yes, as long as the fish isn't farm-raised (or high-mercury), and avoid fatty meat (other than fatty fish), except perhaps if it's 100% grass-fed. Alaskan salmon's best. Keep total meat intake to moderate level, unless you have lymphoma (leukemia, myeloma, or melanoma), in which case I'd eat a lot of fatty organic meat (Kelley-Gonzalez). 4. Will I need to stay on this diet for the rest of my life?There's no rule, but longer you remain on a strict anticancer diet, the better. 6. Would any of the other treatments interfere with the Budwig diet?MOST treatments for CANCER don't, from what very little I've read about it. Leonard |
Urgent Questions!
Jerry Kreyling
Hello,
I would like to ask for your help with a crucial decision I'm about to make. Next Tuesday 4/8/03 I'm scheduled for a biopsy of the lymph nodes in my chest. It all started with an initial chest x-ray that showed a nodule in my right lung that measured about .5 inches in diameter. Subsequent to the chest x-ray I had a PET scan and a CT scan that diagnostically confirmed the presents of the malignant lung tumor and also showed additional cancer activity in my chest lymph nodes. To make things even more challenging, three years ago I had open heart surgery to replace an aortic valve that was deformed from birth with a St. Jude mechanical valve. As a result I take Coumadin to prevent this valve from being rejected by my body. The rejection involves the formation of blood clots around the valve which could cause severe stroke and other very dangerous complications. The Coumadin also thins my blood and causes excessive bleeding when I get cut or have any surgery. In order for me to be operated on I have to stop taking the Coumadin for 4-5 days prior to the surgery. I'm scheduled to be admitted to the hospital the day before the surgery and receive heparin IV treatments. After the surgery I will immediately go back on the heparin IV and start taking the Coumadin again. This complication adds additional risk of post operative internal bleeding and creates more worry and stress for me. I have also been told that if they confirm the presents of cancer in my lymph nodes they will immediately recommend either chemo or radiation treatments. If the treatments are successful, I will go back in the hospital for the removal of the upper and middle lobes of the right lung. I'm very seriously considering canceling ALL Western medicine treatments and surgery. If I do this I'm evaluating four separate treatments as an alternative. These treatments include Dr. Budwig's diet, acupuncture, oxygen treadmill therapy and "Directed Mental Imagery Healing" (DMIH) a specialty form of hypnosis. In reviewing the Budwig diet many questions come into play. I would greatly appreciate your experience with the diet. Please review the questions below. 1. How strict is the Budwig diet? 2. Can I eat things like fish or organically raised meat? 3. How much of the mixture should I take in the beginning? 4. Will I need to stay on this diet for the rest of my life? 5. Are the portions of food restricted? 6. Would any of the other treatments interfere with the Budwig diet? Thank you in advance for all your help! Jerry |

I use 100g CC + 50g Yogurt + 4 Tablespoons FlaxseedOil The yogurt provides acidophilus etc., improves the taste, and thins out the dairy part (mix the CC and Yogurt first). I believe this is not contrary to Dr Budwig's advice. Others may please comment if they feel I have this wrong... I eat this for lunch with a finely chopped salad of all sorts of stuff including tomatoe, radish, capsicum, chilli, garlic, celery, lettuce, cabbage, etc., you name it, all tossed with apple cider vinegar - it's absolutely fantasitc. I do the same again for dinner with a smaller side salad (but the same amount of CC+Yo+FSO), with a main meal. Thus I consume 8 Tablespoons per day of FSO. I follow Philip Day's advice and eat nothing but fruit before lunch. His view is that the body has a natural daily cycle which includes detoxification and cleansing between 4am and noon. Fruit being a cleansing food assists the body in its effort to cleanse itself. Be Well - Les Catterall karatbird@... wrote: : |

EPS / LOWER PSA
Dan
Please, ask if he can give you a name or two of same like practitioners down South FL way? Also, share my comments re clogged prostatic ducts and its complications with Dr.Silverstolpe and forward his feedback. I blew it with Dr. Steinsnyder, he didn't like my asking questions,(my intentions were not to challenge him) so he booted me. I'm not able to produce prostatic fluid from the self prostate massages (my mantra for years) Dr. Shoskes @ Cleveland Clinic wanted $500 just for the initial!!!! EPS= Expressed Prostatic Secretion aka: milking the prostate, prostate stripping, prostate drainage. The prostatic ducts become clogged ( can be seen via microscope)creating a miriad of problems: erections not holding, erectile dysfunction, jet-lag ejaculations, frequent urination, dribbling. Sort of like roto-rooting (pipes getting reamed, cleaned) Wishing us all the best of recoveries. Ramon P.S re lowering PSA Try this for 14 days: 1- CCFOFSG cottage cheese+flaxseed oil+flaxseeds grounded, religiously twice daily. 2- Exercise 2-3 times weekly to the point of sweating. 3- Follow your BMI (19-25) Do your search, if not I'll show you. 4- Fast one day a week. No sexual stimulation for three days prior to blood drawn. I dropped from 12.9 to 6.9 (12/23/'02 - 02/26/'03 following this format.

Jim, difficult to judge symptom-improvement, since there are so many subjective factors. biggest difference is that the first prostate massage was excruciatingly painful; now there is no pain at all. prostate is smaller, feels like that anyway. i will have ultrasound test here soon and get it measured. sometime i will make another long trip to see Dr Bard. less nocturia,though i still wake up to urinate 1 or 2 times per night. less occasional pain in prostate region. my psa is down 2 pts, from 26 to 24. so that is not so good. but at least it stopped going up. last year it was 12. before that 9.8 . probably necessary to wait at least a month after my massage before having psa test.

What cause prostate Cancer?
Miz Judy & Mr. Mel
What causes Prostate Cancer? The exact cause is unknown, We do know that prostate cancer is a group of cancerous cells (a tumor) that begins most often in the outer part of the prostate.EARLY prostate cancer usually does not cause any symptoms. But as the tumor grows, it may spread from the outer part of the prostate to the inner part of the prostate, eventually putting pressure on areas such as the urethra.This may block the flow of urine from the bladder and cause other urinary problems, which are usually the first symptoms of the prostate cancer.
If untreated, the cancer can spread from the prostate to nearby lymph nodes, bones, or other organs. this spread is called METASTASIS. As a result of Metastasis, many men experience aches and pains in the pelvis, hips,back, and other bones. Symptoms can be the following. Frequent urination (especially at night) weak urinary stream Inability to urinate interpretation of urinary stream (stopping and starting) pain or burning on urination blood in the urine When in doubt go see your doctor: And it may be necessary to have a biopsy Gleason reading. If the results of the digital rectal exam (DRE) and/or the Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test suggest a possibility of prostate cancer, a biopsy may be necessary. In a biopsy, a needle is used to remove a small amount of tissue from the prostate.this tissue is examined under a microscope to see if cancer cells are present. Only a biopsy can be performer in the physicians office and usually causes no more discomfort than a visit to the dentist. ( so said my resources).. No anesthetic is required. Keep in mind that it is still possible to have cancer, even if a biopsy is negative, because the cancer cells may not have progressed enough to be detected by a microscope. If the prostate cancer is found, the tumor is graded in the medical lab. The grade indicates how different the cancer cells appear, compared to normal cells, when seen through a microscope.Sometimes you will hear a grade referred to as the GLEASON GRADE. The Gleason Grade ranges from 1 through 5 and based on how much the arrangement of the cancer cells mimics the way the normal prostate cells form the glands of the prostate. The number 1- indicates that the cancer cells clusters resemble the small, regular, evenly spaced glands of normal prostate tissue. If the cancer cells seem to spread haphazardly throughout the prostate, they receive a Gleason grade of 5..Prostate cancer often have areas with different grades.therefore, a grade is assigned to the two areas that make up the most cancer.These two grades are added together to yield a Gleason Score, between 2 and 10.Scores of 3 through 4 are often grouped together as low, 5-6 are intermediate: and scores of 7-10 are considered high. STAGING is the assessment of the size and location of prostate cancer (that is,how far the cancer has already spread) Staging is necessary for you and your physician to decided what type of treatment is most appropriate.,Currently , two different systems are used to stage prostate cancer. The traditional method classifies the disease into 4-clinical categories rated through, A- D.The second is called TNM, which stands for TUMOR-NODES-METASTASES.Although TNM is the more accepted staging system, the A-D is still used. The A-D the tumor is located within the prostate gland and cannot be detected by a digital rectal examination. In B- the tumor is considered to be within the prostate but is lkarge enough to be felt during a digital rectal examination. IN C- the cancer is more advanced, indicating it has spread outside the prostate to some surrounding tissues.And like the above detected. In stage D, the cancer has spread to the nearby organs and usually to distant sites, such as the bones or lymph nodes. TNM takes into consideration tumor size (T) and whether the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes (N) pr metastasized to distant sites in the body (M).The tumor size is graded on a scale of 1-4. T-1 are confined to the prostate gland but are so small that they cannot be felt during the above examination. or detected by ultrasound. T-2 is confined to the prostate, but is large enough to be detected,T-3 and T-4 prostate cancers have spread beyond the prostate into surrounding areas. Lymph node involvement is graded on a scale of 0-3. No means that cancer has spread into the lymph,ph nodes: the number and size of lymph nodes involved dictates whether the cancer is N1,N2,or N3, Metastasis is rated 0-1. MO means no metastasis has occurred: M-1 indicates metastasis to a different distant location, such as the spinal column. More later as I find time to post them..
