Re: Help for Rheumatoid Arthritis
Thanks Peter. I own that book. Amazon is my library.
Since using fo/cc the fibromyalgia has toned down considerably. Still have some chronic fatigue but that may be the result of the anesthesia from surgery. Takes about a month for all that poison to get flushed out of the muscles. Yesterday I went for a long walk and visited the seashore for a while. Wondrful air there yesterday.

Curcumin & Cancer
Gaylen Tibbitt
I thought that was an interesting article & was saving it & found out I already had an article on curcumin & cancer, so I thought I'd post it too. Don't know where I got it from.
~~~~~~~~~~~CURCUMIN~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A Powerful and Natural Cancer-Fightng Substance The Following is a summary of the Laboratory Studies that are showing Curcumin induces many biological effects that fight the development and proliferation of cancer cells Suppressing nuclear factor kappa beta (NF-KB). Cancer cells often over-express NF-KB and use this as a means to proliferate. Curcumin has been shown to suppress NF-KB. Blocking cancer-mimicking chemicals that promote cancer growth. Curcumin blocks estrogen and estogen-mimicking chemicals that promote cell mutation and proliferation. These chemicals are found in our environment and are encountered daily and include paraquat, a weed killer, notrosamines in cooked and "lunch" meats, carbon tetrachloride (a solvent found in paints and other products). Suppressing inflammation inherent in certain forms of cancer. Curcumin inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygebnaise (LOX), two enzymes that promote inflammation believed to play a significant role in the development and progression of cell carcinoma and colon cancer. A Strong Antioxidant. Curcumin protects our cells against free radicals that promote cancer and cause aging by damaging DNA and activating genes. In a recent laboratory study, curcumin protected bacteria from a lethal dose of radiation almost flawlessly. Destroying Abnormal Pre-cancerous Cells. Stops certain forms of cancer by inducing "aptosis," a process that identifies cancerous cells and instructs them to self-destruct. Stopping Cancer Cells from Multiplying. Stops the growth of cancer cells in the advanced stages of cancer development. Enhancing Immunity Shown to stimulate both localized and general immunity including CD4 + T-helper and By type immune cells. Inhibiting Angiogenesis, or the process by which tumors create their own blood supply. Curcumin inhibits the enzyme critical to the process and by blocking iron and copper from the bloodstream, which are required for the growth of blood vessels that the tumors require. ¿ªÔÆÌåÓý Size : IngredientQuantityMeasureRDA * Turmeric Extract (95% Curcumin) 500 mg Not Established Other Ingredients: Gelatin, Brown Rice, Magnesium Stearate _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* |

assist with inflammation?" I recall doing research to figure out what the best amount was to take, but now forget the source of information. From that reading, I decided to take 2 - 500 mg capsules of 95% Curcumin with each meal. There have been times when I've increased that amount to 3 caps per meal. I have not had any side effects that I can report. I will mention that I have read that the absorbability of Curcumin is substantially increased when taken along with bioperine. Some sources sell Curcumin with Bioperine. I have not taken it with bioperine but plan on ordering Bioperine to do so. I might also mention that I some days do not have lunch, so that means I only get the Curcumin in the mornings and evenings. I highly recommend reading more information on Curcumin at the following web site because many links are provided on that web site to research that has been done on Curcumin. You may or may not have noticed that Netscape has been having turmeric and Curcumin headlines in their Netscape News sections. I've seen a half dozen articles show up in the last few months.

Thanks for your well ordered explanation. It makes a lot of sense. No, I don`t see you as an adversary to Alternative medicine, but as one who is trying to combine both Alternative with Conventinal, which means leaning toward CAM.. I only hope that the choices you make will help your husband. That`s what it`s all about. Dr. Bormann and Leonard both explained a bit about IPT and it seems that it is only a portion of the nasty drugs used in "normal" Chemotherpy Treatment"...Also, the theory behind it, that is, confusing cancer cells, as you explained, is interesting, if it works. As far as waitng to see if the Dr. Budwig protocol works, I smile. Here is a lady who has dedicated her whole life and exceptinal brain power to deep research a` la German tradition, and she has had resounding effects and results. Now success will come about quicker if the person taking the Flaxseed oil and low fat organic cottage cheese follows her protocol to the hilt. That may mean a whole life style change to many people. It`s only for a short time, since many people recover quickly once the Omega 3, etc., get back into the system....The immune system takes over then...It `s not good to sit on the fence on this one when a person`s life is at stake.By following a proven track record protocol there is always hope. By venturing into the also proven dismal track record of allopathic cancer treatment, there will be less hope. Where IPT stands I don`t know because no results have been posted as far as I am aware. However, I stll maintain to my postion that The Dr. Budwig Nutritional Regimen is one of the best, and a choice many of us made, including life style change which is harder for some than others. I can only wish and hope that your husband will have a successful result in whatever protocol or medical discipline is followed. Good luck, Jan ( see I did get it correct this time!) to you and your husband. I sincerely wish both of you all the health success in the world.

Curcumin and Cancer
Steve Miller
I just mentioned Curcumin in my previous post for arthritis, but I'll paste
here other info on it for cancer. November 20, 2002 (USA Today Weekend) - "Curcumin helps stifle cancer. In test tubes, 80% of malignant prostate cells self-destructed when exposed to Curcumin. Feeding mice Curcumin dramatically slowed the growth of implanted human prostate cancer cells. It may do the same in breast and colon cancer cells, researchers say, speculating that Curcumin blocks the activation of genes that trigger cancer. Bonus: Curcumin's anti-inflammatory activity reduces arthritic swelling and progressive brain damage in animals. In UCLA research, eating food laced with low doses of Curcumin slashed Alzheimer's-like plaque" More on Curcumin and cancer at: |

I must mention, however, that I also added another supplement at the same time as I started the FO/CC which also is a known anti-inflamatory.

Re: Replty to Dr. Bormann, leonard, 7 all/IPT, low-dose, and conventional chemo
Hi Mike - you are correct in your assessment that I am gathering
information very quickly, having been told that met. small cell cancer has a life expectency of 8 weeks untreated. You are incorrect in thinking that I am a follower of allopathic medicine - in fact I have long distrusted the conventional medical machine and always use alternatives in my home for our family as well as our dog (BARF fed, no vax). When my father died from pancreatic cancer when I was thirteen it was only after he had been sent to the insane asylum (sp?) for threatening to kill himself from the horrendous pain - there he was beaten within an inch of his life by another 'inmate' finally my mother exausted all the family savings keeping him in a private institution without receiveing any medical care while there - he died a painful and awful death - I would not wish it on my worst enemy. My first three pregnancies ended in miscarriages and the high priced dr. said "don't worry your pretty littel head about it".....theres alot more, like my daughter being pronounced either terminal or severely retarded (misdiagnosed bilirubin at birth - ABO incompatiability) or my one year old son dying of meningitis, and being sent home time after time from the emegency room with some tyneol. Daughter is an attorney - son has heads a recording co. - so much for the progonostations of the exhaulted drs. so thats the high points of my 'love affair' with conventional medicine. The last time I saw a dr for anything but a blood pressure check was over 30 years ago - just thought I should set the record straight. What I have been told is that I do not have the luxury of waiting a month to see if the FO/CC is having effect - I hope and pray it is working. Since my husband was suffering extreme pain, projectile vomiting, hallucinations audible and visual, the surgery was also necessary - and yes this all came about in a two week period. Now that I've bared my soul to you, I hope you will not see me as an adversary to alternative medicine - it is just that I have to try to keep him alive long enough for anything to work including the Budwig protocol. i beleive chemo kills - it is a generalized poisen to all cells in the body. What IPT does is to treat the body first with insulin, cancer cells have more insulin receptors then other cells, they are 'hungry' for the sugar they think will follow the insulin rush, then about a 10% of normal dose of chemo drugs is administed - the cancer cells are 'fooled' into this 'meal' instead of the sugar they crave and thrive upon. This spares the healthy cells from being bombarded with chemo, while getting the drug to the actual cancer cells. and altho Nan is a nice name, my name is Jan |

Re: Replty to Dr. Bormann, leonard, 7 all/IPT, low-dose, and conventional chemo
Milpara
Hello Dr. Carolyn Bormann, Leonard, Nam and all,
toggle quoted message
Show quoted text
Thanks for this input on IPT. Although I am personally against Chemothrpy at this time, I do know that some of it seems to be helpful in the rare instance, such as Dr. Moss`s view of using it for Testicular Cancer. IPT has been mentioned before as an aid in some cases, and a way to go for those who want to use it rather than depend on non-drug remedies, such as the Dr, Budwig protocol. This is all O..K. because people must believe in what they are undergoing in order to have a chance at cure/remission. If IPT does that for "small lung cancer", great. But I believe Nan was talking about a Brain Tumor having been surgically removed, etc, ...quote: "There a cat scan showed a tumor of 3.5 centemeters on his brain, an x ray of his lungs was done, showing masses (he had an x-ray just 6 weeks earlier which showed "no significant" changes from the year before. " End of Quote/ ( I lost some of my e-mails ) so pls correct me if I`m wrong, and I believe she lives in the Pennsylvania area near enough to New York and far away from Dr, Shanta, Dr. Hauser (?) and Mexico. Having said that, I will still remain faithful to what is a proven therapy and that is Dr. Budwig`s nutritional approach to rebuilding the immune system by adding Omega 3 in a sulferated organic protein base, and eating foods that will help expel the poisons to the body that seem to be some of the underlying causes to cancer and other diseases. By following her diet one has a chance to reintroduce to the immune system the enzymes, and nutrients so sorrily missing in our diets. This protocol. is well tested via personal anecdotal experiences in the USA and many postive results in Europe, often in some mainstream clinics where people have a more open mind than we have in North America, for reasons that we all know. . It`s unfortunate that Dr. Budwig is not even considered by the mainstream medicoes in the USA, and that chemotherapy is one of the approaches widely used along with surgery, radiation and drugs, none of which seem to help build up the immune system. That is the reason Dr. Budwig is against them. Am I against these? Yes, and no. Many people have survived some of these treatments but others have succumbed and died, including not only memebers of my family , many friends and some associates, but also I`m sure, some of your neighbors, friends, and family members. In other words, instead of getting to the underlying resaons of why we are so ill, most of which seems to attributed to poor nutrition, bad dietary and personal habits ( like too many processed foods, the wrong oils, smoking, alcohol, drugs, not enough fresh air, polluted clean water ( especially chlorinated and fluoridated water which kill bacteria and people!) , lack of sunshine and exercise , and, most importantly, avoiding stress, among other things. In a word, we have to return to clean living void of the chemical swamp in which we seem to live. We are all subjected to poisons as Dr. Hulda Clark has so aptly pointed out., with her views on body pollution which allow parasites to take ontrol of our body. These parasites and pollutants are what she calls the "cause of all cancers." Now everyone knows this all too well but very few actually do anything about it. That, too, is all right because it is our choice. So my hat off to Dr. Shanta, Dr. Hauser, and to others who are seeking a more "humane" chemotherapy treatment to help people within the parameters of main stream USA medicine. They are certainly brave people to do that, and, if they combine that therapy with some of the natural ones that help restore the immune system, we might be better off in these therapies. My point with Nan was that unless the underlying resons which have brought about her husband`s condition are eliminated, then he will not have a good chance to full recovery, or partial recovery, notwithstanding any miracle drugs or treatment, IPT included. She believes in allopathic medicine and that is Okay. She approached several non-allopathic newsgroups for views on alternative medicine protocols and that is okay, too. Whether she is true in this quests, only she can answer, but it seems that she was "fishing" for whatever reason. Again, I may be wrong but I will state that she can do what she feels is best, and if that means following the IPT course that is all right by me. I hope she will tell us how her husband is getting along with whatever treatmet. As I said, she seems to be following a CAM [Approach, Complemetary-Alternative Medicine], and that is probably how the USA will have to go in order for all to survive ( no pun intended). So Dr. Bormann, Leonard and all, I highly respect all viewpoints and wish everyone well in their reseach or quest for better health. It would be interesting to see if the IPT protocol has more success than the standard types of Chemotherpy, which seems to result in less than 10 % (ten Percent)-- put as low by some as low as 3 % (three percent) success rate of Chemotherapy ( See Dr. Robert Menolson`s works). In the meantime, i personally will stick with dr. Budwig and others. I thank everyone for their input and I can only say that had I known about the Dr. Budwig protocol when my family members were still alive, I would have tried that because the other appraoches certainly did not work, and we were told they were the only ones available. So good luck to one and all on what he/she believes is correct. I only hope that our lists are not being attacked again once again by "hit and run " experts, and by confusion, mis-information and disinformation. We must all be vigilant in these trying times, eh? Thanks again Dr. Bormann and Leonard for your views on IPT. It looks like CAM is on the rise.

Also, sardines, canned Alaskan salmon, exercise. Best of recoveries Ramon ____________________________________________________ Subj: [FlaxSeedOil2] OSTEOPOROSIS Date: 4/21/2003 11:08:44 PM Eastern Standard Time From: sheilah glenn <shiltong@...> To: FlaxSeedOil2@... Reply-To: FlaxSeedOil2@... Sent from the Internet (Details) My wife completed chemotherapy for Ovarian Cancer in October last year.The oncologists discouraged the use of any supplements during the treatment, so she was only able to commence the FO/CC regimen in January. We mix 90 mls of Flaxseed Oil with 180 mls of Cottage Cheese each morning and she consumes this in three portions at mealtimes ( 3 times per day). Her CA125 tumour marker is now down to 10 - it has been falling every month since January.The oncologists are thrilled with her condition and are aware of the FO/CC she is taking. However, as a tumour marker of 10 is very near the lower end of the scale(the oncologist said it will not go into negative territory), I wondered whether her intake of FO/CC could now be reduced.I cannot recall Dr.Budwig specifically indicating a maintenance dosage for patients in remission. Have any members any information in this regard or could anyone point me to the correct page in Dr.Budwig's books for guidance. Secondly, I am led to believe from an article related to Osteoporosis that Cottage Cheese is not really a good choice.See insert below: "The effect of dairy products on the risk of osteoporosis-related fractures is subject to controversy. According to a review of 46 studies,36 different dairy products appear to have different effects on bone density and fracture rates. Milk, especially nonfat milk, probably does more good than harm because of its relatively lower protein and salt content, as well as its higher level of calcium. Cottage cheese and American cheese, on the other hand, probably do more harm than good. Cottage cheese is high in protein and salt but low in calcium, factors which could contribute to bone loss. American cheese is extremely high in salt and high in protein. These foods are not recommended as calcium sources for the prevention of osteoporotic fractures. Although there may be better ways of getting calcium, younger women who wish to prevent osteoporosis might consider nonfat milk and nonfat yogurt to be reasonable dietary calcium sources". Having abandoned HRT therapy since be diagnosed with Cancer, she now needs to take care of the threat of Osteoporosis developing.As she also needs to continue the FO/CC regimen it seems she will have to switch to a youghurt/flaxseedoil mixture, in order to overcome the problems indicated above. I require some clarity on the mix of Youghurt/Flaxseed Oil to enable her to win on both health issues.My understanding is that instead of 2:1 it now goes upto 3:1 Youghurt/Flaxseed Oil.Is this correct? As an off topic issue, if any members have advice on supplemental foods / vitamins that should be taken for osteoporosis that will not counteract the FO regimen I will appreciate their input, either privately or on this list if acceptable to all members.
