What Natural Treatment Apart From MSM, Vitamin C & D-ribose Should Be Done To Treat Swelling From Cachexia Due To Lung Cancer?

My wife is suffering from swelling from cachexia due to her lung cancer..We are trying to heal her with natural treatments. We have been giving her 1000mg MSM, 500mg vitamin c powder, and d-ribose twice a day. Is there anything else you would recommend. Thanks

cancer cachexia is belt relieved by treating cancer. As long as primary is untouched, it progresses. Other way is by giving her good nutrition. Without good nutrition no amount of vitamins and minerals will help her. She requires high calorie diet along with vitamins which you are giving.
