Cancer resources
Self

Posted on 05/06/2017 11:29:57 AM PDT by Dacula

My wife has stage 4 metastatic cancer. She has battled this before and survived twice.

This time the cancer has reached her brain and the doctors are a bit more apprehensive than before.

Does anyone know about grants? All of her doctors are telling us to apply for grants to pay for her medicine.

Any advice would be appreciated. I may not be able to respond right away, but I will do my best. Lots of planning and preparation on my part.

As an herb, you can grow your own stevia, too.

I put drinking water/tea as critical everyday. I consider it ‘washing my internal car’.

Yea, worked for our Friend who bought into such nonsense.

She started out being diagnosed with treatable Breast Cancer and went the “alternate” route and she ended up with a very aggressive Bone Cancer that killed her.

We begged her to listen to her Doctor and go with Traditional Treatment while also using some alternate therapy if she liked, but the SOB’s who pushed her into believing that some magic Enzymes and a strict organic Diet would cure her won out.

If I chose the same “alternative” program to treat my Leukemia I would have been Worm Food years ago.

With all that being said, she was a big girl and made up her own mind. When it is you (generic) staring down Cancer, you (generic) live or die by a sword of your choosing.

It pisses me off the money being made by these charlatan snake-oil salesmen (it is what they are) while I watched my sister die.

Pharm actually put money into research and manufacturing, AND FDA hoops, while these charlatans spend minimal and make mucho profit.””

Snake oil is always with us . Snake oil does not meet the scientific standard, of course, but it has always made money. Sadly, people will grasp at any unproven treatment. The charlatans should be jailed for leading people away from evidence based medicine. The same people led astray will believe and use every other modern technology, but not when it comes to medicine. It’s really quite pathetic.

If you pray, the Lord will lead you. My sister was just diagnosed with leukemia. I told her - as with my mom - it is like getting on a plane thinking you are going to France and they drop you in Pakistan. You don’t want to be there, you don’t speak the language, you hate the food. AND you cannot leave. So sorry about your wife. I thot those sites another FReeper posted were very helpful.

I also found the Chaplain at the hospital, when my mom died, VERY helpful. He knew the legal ropes, people to contact for help, etc.

What I would do.

FECO Medical Cannabis oil. As much as she can take, 60 grams in 90 days or more.

B17 find a Dr that can give proper dose.

Intravenous Vit C.

Turmeric, cayene and black pepper mix, do a search on those 3 together.

Baking soda

No sugar or processed foods, no syrups (read labels). Low carb. Green smoothies with turmeric and ginger.

I so agree with you. I understand being good stewards of our body, but chemo saved my life with AML.

I agree. It’s snake oil. Without chemo, I would have been dead in a week. In a week, my counts were turned around. Chemo is harsh, but it works.

Chemo mostly kills.

Its just a way to finish draining the patient’s insurance limits.

The chemistry that stops cancer is alcalization. (and its almost free)

I can’t speak for anyone else. But, AML would kill a person before baking Sosa, or any of those things could do their thing. I understand your intentions, but if you took the time to read about - AML - for example ... you’d see how recommending that is suicide.

Being good stewards is great. Use those methods for prevention.

But, only chemo would save a person with AML. Period. No exceptions.

I truly hope you don’t convince anyone to abandon traditional medicine. They will die.
