Is Emergen-c Suggestible To Treat Renal Cancer?

default
Posted on Mon, 12 May 2014
Question: I am very distraught. My brother had a 5% chance of survival in 2006, @ age 58, renal cancer. One kidney removed, surgery to remove cancer on aortal vein. Since then, spots on other kidney frozen, piece of liver and lung removed. There was no radiation, instead he got a pill free from a company based in the UK, and it worked. Then interferon, it has stopped working, it's in his lungs. I understand that India, China, Europe KNOW the cure for cancer. Doctor at University of Birmingham is now going to put him on oxygen. I just lost a cousin who went through chemo, it was in his lungs. My brother also has a spot on his spine. I see emails all the time with the "cure" for cancer, no matter how advanced. I know my brother is extremely lucky to have been among the 5% surviving this ordeal. One thing, he doesn't feel pain, hardly at all. He came home from surgeries, only took Tylenol-nothing stronger. Please, am I whistling in the wind? I read about anti-auto-genesis, is it believable? I even wrote my congressman about it. Is there an answer? My cousin went through hell with chemo, then died on morphine. Thank you for ANYTHING suggested. I buy Emergen-C which is anti-oxidants, strong vitamin C, etc. for him, is that any good?

Brief Answer: Cancer Detailed Answer: Hello, Delighted to be able to help. Be suspicious of emails that advertised "cure for cancer" no matter how advanced. Your brother suffers cancer with extension to organs, spine ... Healing is not possible, only palliative treatment. Treatments that you referred as oxygen, anti-oxidants, vitamin C, there is no scientific evidence as treatments for cancer, but can be tested if your brother believes in them, sometimes the patient improves with them. It is surprising that his brother use only Acetaminphen for pain. Normally they need intense pain medication such as opioid derivatives. I wish that his brother remains in the same situation, you can try the referred treatments. I Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions, I will be happy to help.If you do not have any clarifications, please don’t forget to evaluate my answer.I wish you good health.
