ground flaxseeds
andycoghill05
Hi,
I posted yesterday about my uncle's liver cancer and I got a very nice reply. Thank you. I have now read through the files provided. I have one question. With flaxseed oil you need cottage cheese in order to create an emulsion so the flaxseed cells get into the bloodstream intact. I am not a scientist so forgive this simplistic explanation. However I see in the diet plans that you can use ground flaxseeds in juice. Do the ground flaxseeds not need to be mixed in a suitable protein to be absorbed into the bloodstream? Or is it different with ground flaxseeds in that your body can absorb these without them being in an emulsion? Which is better flaxseed oil/cottage cheese or ground flaxseeds/juice? Could you use ground seed mashed into potato instead of putting them into juice? thank you Andy |
Lymphology
Cheryl du Toit
Hi Anna,
Can you remember where you read that and perhaps give more info? If you go to a qualified lymphologist for your massages, there is no way that the massaging and stroking will 'spread the cancer cells' - it is a way to activate your lymph system to get rid of the garbage in your system. I would advise all the cancer patients and those suffering from diabetes, heart disease, whatever to visit this website and listen to the audio recording - Sometimes we have to be real careful about what we read. Cheryl Hi Cheryl,the lymph moving. |

"Omega-3s Block Estrogen
Studies have shown that the hormone estrogen fuels the growth of breast tumors. And omega-3 fatty acids block the effects of estrogen, Hardman says. Other protective factors may also be at play. " this article would seem to back up the flaxoil approach to breast cancer. . . : Breast Cancer Protection Starts in the Womb Mom-to-Be's Diet Protects Daughters From Breast Cancer By?Charlene ?Laino WebMD Medical News Reviewed By?Michael ?Smith,?MD on Wednesday, April 20, 2005 April 20, 2005 (Anaheim, Calif.) -- Women who eat fish and nuts during pregnancy may protect their daughters against breast cancer years down the road. Eating these foods during childhood also helps. Mothers who choose foods packed with omega-3 fatty acids during pregnancy and while nursing and then feed their kids such a diet after weaning may reduce the risk of breast cancer in their daughters by nearly 90%, early research in mice indicates. "Just two servings of fish per week"Just two servings of fish per week and a daily fish oil supplement would be a good start for most pregnant women," says researcher W. Elaine Hardman, PhD, an assistant professor in the division of functional foods at Louisiana State University's Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rogue. Western Diet Increases Breast Cancer On the flip side, moms-to-be who eat a typical Western diet may be placing their children at risk of breast cancer, she says. That's because our diet is loaded with foods rich in omega-6 fatty acids -- meat, eggs, baked goods, breads, and most vegetable oils, she says. But women whose moms have told them they ate all the junk food in sight during their pregnancy shouldn't panic. Feeding female baby mice a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids after weaning reduced their risk of breast cancer by 40% -- even when moms ate a typical Western-style diet. "This tells us that even if a mom doesn't consume the best diet for cancer prevention, her daughter can make up for it by consuming a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids herself," Hardman tells WebMD. "It's never too late to switch." Go for the Omega-3 Fatty Acid The research adds to growing evidence that what a mother eats during pregnancy and while nursing affects the health of her children years down the road, says William Nelson, MD, PhD, professor of oncology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore. The study was presented at the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research. Both omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids are essential for good health. But in Western diets, the amount of omega-6 fatty acids is much greater than omega-3 fatty acids -- exactly the opposite of what it should be for good health, according to Hardman. The ratio to shoot for, experts say, is roughly four times as much omega-3s as omega-6s. But the typical American diet has it totally backward -- 20 times as much omega-6s -- and that spells trouble. Omega-3 fatty acids are found in fish, especially cold water fish such as tuna, salmon, and mackerel, as well as in canola and flaxseed oils, soybeans, and nuts. Foods rich in omega-6 fatty acids are meat, eggs, poultry, cereals, breads, baked goods, most vegetable oils, and margarine. Hardman studied mice that were genetically predisposed to develop breast cancer. During pregnancy, the mother mice were randomly assigned to a diet rich in either omega-6 or omega-3 fatty acids. After the baby mice were weaned at 3 months of age, they were again randomly assigned to a diet rich in either omega-6 or omega-3 fatty acids. All of the baby mice exposed only to omega-6 fatty acids -- in the uterus, while nursing, and after weaning -- developed breast cancer by six months after birth, "which was expected in this mouse model," Hardman says. "But fewer than 60% of the female offspring with diets rich in omega-3 fatty acids either maternally or after weaning developed [breast] tumors by 8 months," she says. And only 13% of mice who were only given omega-3 fatty acids -- in the womb, during weaning and after birth -- developed breast tumors. Omega-3s Block Estrogen Studies have shown that the hormone estrogen fuels the growth of breast tumors. And omega-3 fatty acids block the effects of estrogen, Hardman says. Other protective factors may also be at play. It's going to take at least two generations to confirm the findings in humans, Hartman says. In the meantime, Nelson says, there's no harm in talking with your doctor about the benefits of eating more fish, nuts, and other omega-3 fatty acid-rich foods during pregnancy: They're also good for the brain, heart, immune system, and just about all of our body systems, he says. For pregnant women concerned about ingesting mercurypregnant women concerned about ingesting mercury in tuna and certain other fish, Hardman recommends fish oil supplements. "But even two servings a week -- the current recommendation for pregnant women -- is still probably three or four times more than the average American gets," she says.

I know Budwig is similar to the Hippocrates Health iInstitute, the resource in my neighborhood, in thinkingtht synthetics are a big stumbling block in our homes. So the hospital, just full of fumes, is the LAST place on earth a person struggling with cancer should be, IMO. When I turned down my staging scans I lost a great oncologist. He just wouldn't work "blind" It is great that we have communities like this to back up teh things we know instincually and support each other in our quest for real health. |

writes: no one appears to know forhow aobut PET scans? that's what all the followups are with my doc, since thay are looking for active growth anywhere. the machine does a CAT AND a PET simultaneously. And there is a radioactive injection too. Even the MRI has an injection. And it comes in a motor home every Tuesday, is not stand alone equipment. wht do you think. is there a less radioactive type of PET? I tried asking questions at the hospital already and got nothing but bland, misinformed, reassurances that radioactivity at those levels is like a day at the beach. I got NO specifics. And I have gotten nowhere trying to find a thermography machine in a hospital (I need insurance to pay). So determining progress must be subjective? By how one feels? I am also getting major strong armed to do radiation after I finish chemo next month. I am refusing it. But their rationale is that my diet/lifestyle/environemental changes, that even chemo, cant get at an area that has had four surgical sites because teh blood vessels are damaged and the lymph channels razed. So would that mean that the Budwig protocol would also miss the area where the cancer cells mainly would have been spilled during surgery. Surgery is not an exact science, the radiation is supposed to clean up the mess it leaves. but, after four months, i am more concerned with messes that have left teh area. in which case the budwig protocol makes sense. right? vanessa |

I read 100 x-rays but I'll take the figure of 1,600 or 2,400..................after 100, that's enough. Really now, why would we do that except for an initial determination.
Once you know what you have the idea is to start getting well, not playing 'Doctor, can you please burn me some more and perhaps make my cancer worse'. Maybe, my cancer is related to the tons of X-rays I've had?????? That's me talking and maybe it applies to a lot of us???? Professionals will tell you the equipment today provides for far less in radiation, but not when they take 10-15 pictures it doesn't. It's cumulative you know. Joe C. |
Re: I'm a newcomer...breast cancer

"Always question
their diagnosis and their statements." EXCELLENT advice, Anna! I agree 100 percent! Question! Question! Question! When I went to a surgeon to have him examine the tumor in my neck, he began to say, "OK, we're going to do a CAT Scan of the tumor, and of the front back and sides of your head..." I actually cut him off, which I shouldn't have done---but I was already feeling so disgusted with the oncologist who gave me 20 CT scans between 1989 and 1992, that I was impatient with him. I interrupted the surgeon before he could finish talking about a CT scan, and said, "No, we are not doing ANY CT scans. We are doing an MRI." He was taken aback, but he agreed to do an MRI rather than a CT scan. He, too, did not know how much radiation a person gets from a CT scan. It is scandalous, even criminal, that so very few mainstream medical people know how much radiation CT scans deliver, though they prescribe them out of hand and as a matter of course! |
Re: How do you determine your progress?

LOL, Ulla! Or, as some say in Canada, "bang on!"
The "Medical Establishment" has done much to persuade people to mistrust and to ignore the messages their body gives them. In "Cancer As A Turning Point," there is a scary/humorous true story about a woman(thankfully a forthright and self-confident one)who was hooked up to a heart monitor that malfunctioned and began to "flat line." When it did, all kinds of personnel rushed into her room with the defibrillator and other emergency equipment, ready to "bring her back to life." "HEY!" she shouted at them, "EXCUSE ME, BUT I AM SITTING UP IN BED DRINKING A CUP OF ORANGE JUICE! THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH ME! IT'S YOUR MACHINE THAT'S MALFUNCTIONING!" She truly had to scream at them in order to keep them from trying to resuscitate her, despite the fact that there was obviously nothing wrong with her, which goes to show how completely ridiculous things have become with regard to how much the mainstream medical community mistrusts and disrespects "the wisdom of the body" AND "the wisdom of the client." |

"I know this may sound too way out for some peolpe, but I just listen
to my body for knowing if things are going right or not. Elliot will tell you that scans are to be used, if at all, very carefully." You bet, Anna! In an earlier message, I said that an oncologist who feels the need to administer CT scan after CT scan to determine how a client is doing is a klutz and a stumblebum. |

"I have heard that one CT-Scan is equal to 100 Chest X-Rays. Would I
take 100 Chest X-Rays? Why would I inflict that on already diseased organs? However that is me." Joe, good advice, but I wonder about your numbers. The research I have done tells me that one abdominal CT scan contains the equivalent of 800 chest x-rays, and from that I calculate that a full- body CT scan could contain as much radiation as 2400 or more x-rays. People who receive CT scans are NEVER told by their doctor or by the facility administering the CT scans, how much radiation they are getting. It's an insane situation. |
Re: How do you determine your progress?

Hi, Esther.
If you MUST get CT and/or PET scans to see how you are doing, then at least get them as RARELY as possible. From all the research I have done, it appears that just ONE full-body CT scan delivers perhaps as much radiation as 1600 chest x-rays. I am basing that on the fact that I read that an abdominal CT scan delivers as much radiation as 800 chest x-rays! I happen to think a doctor who has to use regular CT scans on a person---say, 1 every 2 months, or even more than that, is a klutz--- someone who has no idea how to judge how a client is doing other than irradiating them! There is an oncologist in California who is able to judge how his clients are doing by their mood, their eyes, their skin, and so on. Essentially, if a client is "bright-eyed and bushy-tailed," he feels no need to do a CT or a PET scan. I hope you will share your concerns with your oncologist, Esther, and that you will ask him if he knows how much radiation there is in the specific scan or scans he wants to do on you. If he does not know, then tell him to find out! Best wishes, Elliot |
