Calcium vs cancer

Seeing that there is a general belief that milk is not good for cancer, especially my type of cancer, I thought – what about calcium…?

So off I went to Google “calcium and cancer”.

Lots of info.
Of course.

Appears that many believe that calcium is quite good in the fight for cancer.
But not from milk.
There are plenty of veggies that are rich in calcium

There are those who state that the most important resource for calcium is coral calcium.

Others do not agree…

Be Wary of Coral Calcium and Robert Barefoot

There are also supplements claiming to be coral calcium, which are not, so “buyer beware”.

The National Cancer Institute, a government agency, does not support calcium therapy for cancer. The National Cancer Institute’s views on calcium are pretty much what we have heard for years – get it from milk and it does a body good.

Yes, there are those who “prey” on people like me – who are fighting this horrible battle. In this fight, any extra “bullet” MIGHT make a difference, so I have made the choice to add additional calcium to my supplement list.

UPDATE: Radio Interview – Its Your Health

The interview on “Its Your Health” radio has been canceled due to “technical difficulties”. With the bad weather that they are having up North, I’m not surprised…

Hopefully Lisa can schedule me in another time soon!

Radio Interview – Its Your Health

I am being interviewed on a Boston radio station!

It’s pretty exciting…

The show is “Its Your Health” and the host is Lisa Davis – a gal who I connected with via Facebook. Don’t ask me how cuz I don’t remember, but she seems nice.

But I do remember that she mentioned that she wanted to interview me about my battle without insurance.

She remembers me and wants to share my story.

My story.

She also has interviewed Suzanne Somers several times, regarding her new book, Knockout, which addresses cancer and specifically mentions Dr. Burzynski and The Burzynski Clinic. So I will be happy to share my tests results.

I’ve known for about a month that this interview might be upcoming, but didn’t have a firm date. There was talk of “sometime in January”, so I’ve been waiting…
Waiting, waiting waiting…
Hoping
but not expecting.

Now I know.
The interview will be tomorrow – Dec 22 – at 10:50 EST.

Tomorrow
I’m nervous…
Need to get ready.
I’m excited…
Excited to get the word out some more
TeamDenise!

What Is Cancer? An Alternative View.

The following is information that I found on the website CancerTruth.net.  The information I read is very interesting and in line with the information presented via the “Healing Cancer Friom The Inside Out” video presention that I attended This way of thinking is becoming more and more how I believe – not quite so “radical”, but my way of belief nonetheless. I cannot image anyone not seeing this as a positive difference in thinking, a Positive way to treat.  Tumors are Symptoms of the disease, they should Not be the Primary Targets.  Lets get back to Healing Our Bodies.

What is Cancer?

Conventional medicine defines cancer as a colony of malignant cells, or a tumor. If you have a tumor, then the conventional oncologist will try to cut or slash it out via surgery. After they cut you, then they typically recommend chemo to try to kill any remaining cancer cells with toxic poisons.  And they will finish off with radiation, to burn whatever cancer cells remain.  This is why I, and many others, refer to “the Big 3” protocol as “Slash, Poison, and Burn.”

Alternative medicine sees cancer as a multidimensional, systemic total body disease. The tumor is merely a symptom and the purpose of the alternative cancer treatment is to correct the root causes of cancer in the whole body. 

Why is my Doctor against Alternative Cancer Treatments?

Your doctor is against these treatments because from the first day of medical school, doctors are brainwashed into believing that disease can only be treated with drugs. You can rest assured that your doctor has likely been convinced that the only viable treatments for cancer are chemo, surgery, and radiation.

Most doctors have a tendency to believe that not only what they were taught in medical school must be true, but they also believe that what they were not taught must not be important!  As a result, most doctors are still thinking “inside the box” when it comes to cancer.  Doctors who think “outside the box” and treat the actual cause of disease rather than the symptoms are labeled as “quacks.” 

And if that’s not enough…

…the FDA has a track record of raiding the offices of alternative practitioners, destroying their medical records, and putting them in jail…

In addition, many doctors are afraid of expensive, time consuming lawsuits, and their insurance carrier may drop them if they use alternative treatments. Their state medical boards may fine them and revoke their license.

And remember, doctors are human. Due to the fact that others doctors will publicly ridicule them if they use alternative treatments, many doctors succumb to recommending “the Big 3” as a result of peer pressure. 

Do Alternative Treatments Work?

The evidence that there are literally hundreds of alternative cancer treatments which really do work is beyond voluminous. However, only a precious few treatments are strong enough and act fast enough to effectively treat a cancer patient who has been deemed to be “terminal” by his doctor.

What about tumors? According to Dr. Philip E. Binzel, MD
The problem with many (not all) Doctors and Oncologists in today’s society is that they have been trained to be ‘tumor orientated’ … For example, when a patient is found to have a tumor, the only thing the doctor discusses with that patient is what he intends to do about the tumor…no one ever asks how the patient is doing. In my medical training, I remember well seeing patients who were getting radiation and/or chemotherapy. The tumor would get smaller and smaller, but the patient would be getting sicker and sicker. At autopsy we would hear, ‘Isn’t that marvelous!  The tumor is gone!’  Yes, it was, but so was the patient.  How many millions of times are we going to have to repeat these scenarios before we realize that we are treating the wrong thing?

Antineoplastons

There is So Much controversy around Dr. Burzynski and his antineoplastons.  Seems to me, that a treatment that spares the body the ravages of chemo, while providing good results should be #1 on the list of the drug companies to explore, instead of attacking the Dr who has brought this treatment to light…

Antineoplaston Therapy

HOW ANTINEOPLASTONS WORK

(Dr. Burzynski believes that) antineoplastons are nontoxic, naturally occurring peptides, amino acid derivatives, and organic acids that fight cancer with few if any side effects. Traditional radiation therapy and chemotherapies poison cancer cells and healthy cells as well; antineoplastons cause no harm to healthy cells. Although the detailed mechanism by which antineoplastons work is unknown, they may act as biochemical microswitches to turn off the genes that cause cancer, called oncogenes, and activate the genes that fight cancer, called tumor suppressor genes.

Because these drugs are harmless to healthy cells the body can be flooded with antineoplastons, and only cancer cells are affected. Patients typically carry a small pump that delivers antineoplastons directly into the bloodstream at regular intervals. Some patients take capsules orally.

I am Literally Betting My Life on This Treatment…

Healing from the Inside Out – A Seminar

This evening I attended a very interesting seminar @ Lakewood United Methodist Churchon Louetta.
Was invited by an old high school friend, Nache’.

It was about your health and the foods you eat.  Of course everything was very single-sided, as most presentations are.  But I have to say – it Did Make A Lot Of Sense.  And provided information that I am glad to have.

There was a special guest, Dr. Desiree Jones, who spoke first.
Dr. Jones had some very good opinions of health and causes of disease, definitely worth considering.

Then a video presentation of “Healing Cancer from the Inside Out” which promoted the Rave diet & lifestyle. It is probably a bit too much for me to totally embrace, but I am going to try and incorporate as much into my life as I can. I already eat lots and lots of fresh fruits and veggies, and could definitely limit the meat intake, so that will be good changes. Interesting to hear about the oils though, had not really considered how bad oils are for the body.

Mom ordered the DVD for her and Dad to view…

The evening was not at all what I thought it would be… I thought it would be a well-attended, spirit-filled event.
But there was only a hand full of people – mostly women.

However, the information was Awesome and I’m Very Glad I attended!

Nitric Oxide and Dr. Louis Ignarro

Just more info on someone with an opinion on fighting cancer… there’s so much out there, you just have to take it all with a grain of salt.  It is Quackery or is there really something to it? 

Nitric oxide (NO) is a colorless, odorless gas that is an important signaling molecule in the body of mammals, including humans, but is toxic at high doses. The nitric oxide molecule is a free radical, which is relevant to understanding its high reactivity.

Nitric oxide is important in the chemical industry and is also a toxic air pollutant produced by cigarette smoke, automobile engines, and power plants. In 1994, the respected journal Science declared nitric oxide as its “molecule of the year” for the exciting discoveries surrounding its physiological signaling roles.

Dr. Louis Ignarro has been prominent in advocating alternative medical uses including the treatment of heart disease, shock, cancer, impotence, and pulmonary hypertension. NO is now known to play a key role in many biological functions including inflammation, blood flow regulation, cell growth, smooth muscle relaxation, and preserving memory. Each year, thousands of research papers are written about the molecule.[1] Appropriate levels of NO production are important in protecting organs from damage.

Nitric oxide should not be confused with nitrous oxide (N2O), a general anaesthetic and greenhouse gas, or with nitrogen dioxide (NO2) which is another air pollutant.
