Is There Any Other Alternate Nature Medication For Chemo ?
What about Vitamin B17, laetrile and Essiac tea? They are cures for cancer-we know two men who have been cured by the apricot kernels (laetrile) when chemo and radiation almost killed them. The AMA and FDA have known about them since the 70s and 80s. My husband has had prostate cancer for six years and with his Dr. has been doing watchful waiting . Now the Dr. wants do remove the prostate. He is taking apricot kernels and drinking the tea--we don't know how it will turn out. My brother- in-law had bladder cancer last Feb. They removed it lapriscopically and he went on chemo and radiation. He had to stop because of a heart problem. When they tested him again he had cancer in 20 places when it was originally encapsulated. He began taking the kernels and did go back on chemo. When they tested him in Sept. he was in remission. They still want to do more chemo. WHY? Can't you Drs. use the natural cures we know about without being penalized for doing the right thing when chemo and radiation are killing patients? I can't afford to pay you for a reply so if you have to be paid--forget it. Mary C. O'Dell

1. First thing to look out for is : metastasis i.e. spread of cancer [since if it has spread thus it becomes highly unlikely to control the Infection through any system of Medicine. [as suggested in your brother-in-law history]
2. Ayurvedic preparations can act as an adjuvant or a co-therapy along with chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
PS. Rasayan {Immunomodulation] chikitsa : i.e. The cell-protective activity of drugs helps to improve comfort and the quality of life of individuals with cancer, mainly: trifla, guduchi, punarnava
. daily use of amalaki which contains vitamin C and foof containing vitamin E helps retard the formation of cancer
. use of onion, garlic and turmeric in the diet, to some extent depress the growth and suppress the formation of cancer cells in the body.
PS. According to clinical studies, such drugs have shown very impressive effects on protecting body from the side effects (of chemo and radio therapies) like alopecia, nausea, constipation, anorexia and vomiting. The patients who receive Ayurvedic treatment along with chemotherapy have shown more regularity in maintaining the chemotherapy cycles as the hematological levels can be maintained up to a normal state. More than 50 research studies on cancer carried out at various post-graduate institutes, have shown that Ayurvedic preparations are very effective as chemo-preventive and radio-preventive agents.
