[YEA] 07/22/2007: Mare from st louis, mo writes: "fran from montreal, I can hear the deep need in your message! You need to find out about the Budwig Diet.Read the information at www.cancertutor.com/Cancer/Budwig.html.
Dr. Johanna Budwig was the foremost expert in the world on fats and oils. She was able to heal people even from their deathbeds using flaxseed oil and cottage cheese. (It's all about the electrons!) She also recommends veggies and fruit. (no meats, animal fats, or sugar.) She lived into her 90's. and was a nominee for the nobel prize many times. Earth Clinic should be all over this one. It helps all sorts of diseases, Heart Infarction. arthritis, cancer etc, and is good for athletic performance and in fact, the whole family. I have done oil pulling for only a short time and it has helped the floaters in my eye get smaller & less dark. (they were the result of a burst capillary.)"

TRADITIONAL WESTERN MEDICINE AND HOLISTIC MEDICINE COMBINED
[YEA] 04/03/2008: Kim H writes: "I just wanted to take the time to say thank you to this group of fine people. I was on their prayer list a month or two ago, added by a good friend. I'm 44, with a 13 year old daughter, and a 4 year breast cancer survivor. I just found out that the extremely aggressive tumors in my lungs and liver (discovered only 2 months ago) are completely gone. I can't tell you how many people told me they added me to their prayer list at their church. I firmly believe that the combination of chemo, prayer and quantum energy work I did on myself are what has given me this remarkable recovery in such a short time. I will be sure to prayer for the Tibetans, children, seals and members on Sunday.
Thanks again,
Kim"
EC: We asked Kim to please send more details!
04/06/2008: Kim H. replies: "Of course, you may include it in next month's email. I don't have much more information. I'm a survivor of Her2/neu metastatic breast disease. This is an extremely aggressive form of breast cancer. It has a 100% recurrence rate. This disease was pretty much fatal until a few years back when the drug Herceptin came on the market. Now women with this disease are living quite long. I know that some people following this forum will be turned off by the fact that I'm doing chemo, did radiation and surgery, etc. But, I'm a believer that the combination of western and alternative is the best route for me. Quantum healing is a form of channeling energy to heal yourself or others. I'm new at it, but it is relaxing and anyone can do it. I've also had a distance healing from a QiGong healer and then, of course, lots and lots of prayer. I don't remember the dates of when my friend added me to your prayer page, but all of this recurrence and disappearance of the tumors has been within two months. The tumors were quite large and affected 75% of my liver. My CEA 125 (blood tumor marker) went from 22.1 down to 4.8 after just two chemo treatments. My lungs are now completely clear.I'll be glad to answer any other questions,
Thanks again,
Kim"

[YEA] 02/05/2009: Suzanne from Rotterdam, Netherlands writes: "In India alzheimer is almost non existent and cancer is more rare, especially male types of cancer. Researchers found that it has to do with the consumption of large quantities of turmeric (also known as kunjit) in the curry. Especially the combination of chilly powder, turmeric and cauliflower and broccoli seems to do the trick. If you prepare a curry don't just use the herbal mix form the grocery but add your own paste of vegetable oil (arachide, sunflower or sesame oil), chilli powder and turmeric powder. Wash and cut the cauliflower and broccoli and let them sit for 15 minutes before cooking, as this improves the health benefits."
[NAY] 02/05/2009: Ruma from Calcutta, India replies: "It is NOT true!! Cancer is not rare at all in India, though certain types of cancer are rare (such as colon cancer). Also, Alzheimer's is getting more and more common - one of my aunts suffered from Alzheimer's before she died.But Turmeric is a powerful herb - it is a purifier of the blood and it is very good for you. It is best eaten in its raw form, and also does wonders for the skin if you make a paste out of the root and slather it over the face.
It really is an amazing herb but one needs to be careful before making claims about the occurrence of cancer!"

05/16/2009: Carolyn from Shelby, Ohio writes: "Hi,
I was diagnosed with uterine cancer in Sept. of last year by a doctor that did not know what he was doing. He waited a long time to do the hysterectomy and he was so sure I didn't have cancer he didn't even check the lymph nodes. He left them in and took out only the uterus and the ovaries. After they removed them he did not open up the uterus to look inside the uterus. Just sent it off to pathology. Came in after surgery and said no cancer!!. Turns out next day while I was eating my supper he shows up and says the pathologist found cancer after all. Nestled in among the fibroids I was told I only had one of. I was devastated. Also told that it was stage 2 or stage 1 and encapsulated.
Ha ha ha, The joke was on me. Went to the cancer dr. and was told that it was at least stage 3 or 4. I could not even think. Sent to the cancer clinic in our city and was told it was stage 3C. Invasion into 2 lymph nodes. Possibility of metastisis to other organs. I fell apart. Went to other drs. and was told the same thing, but my attitude would take me farther. I went home and laid in bed for days, just waiting to die. I decided to take the radiation, but it was horrifying. I received 38 treatments 1 every day for weeks. The radiation is very nauseating. I threw up constantly. They finally gave me a pill to stop the nausea, but it made my stomach hurt. I told them up front that I would not have any chemo. I saw what it did to my mother in law and she died anyway. The burning on the skin was awful too. I had to apply cream to it everyday. Hair loss, not on the head lol. Front and back radiation. I can really feel for the people that have it. When the radiation was over I found this place. I decided to look up things to do to save myself. Or give me some time till they got the stem cell stuff going (if they ever do). I found out about essiac, but couldn't find it cheap enough and a good quality to be able to afford to buy it. A friend of mine told me about a vitamin company that sold it a lot cheaper than they do in Canada. I have been taking 6 a day, and I also take the apricot seeds. I found a health food store that has it pretty cheap, online is expensive. She says if you say it is a foodstuff instead of a medicine you can get it cheaper. I don't like the taste of it, so I grind it in my grinder and put it in capsules. I can only take 2 a day and I know that is not enough. I took 3 today and will try to increase it every week.
The reason I am writing is because I tried the hydrogen peroxide 35% food grade. I diluted a couple of drops in a 16 oz. bottle of water. I could taste it, but I drank it. The first day was okay. The second day the left side of my abdomen was in a lot of pain. I had so much gas I couldn't leave the house. It was constant. I don't know what it was from, but I had to stop taking the h202. I don't know if I did it wrong on not. I just wanted to let people know what kind of side effects I had from it.
I hope someone out there can give me some other cures for cancer. Right now I am in remission, I don't know if it is from the essiac and the apricot seeds or from the radiation or if it is temporary. I pray everyday that it is gone. One other thing, if you think there is something seriously wrong push the dr. until he does what he is supposed to, I was put off for months and finally had to ask the dr. for a hysterectomy.
thank you all for listening to me."
05/17/2009: Carolyn from Shelby, Ohio replies: "Hi Robin,
Thank you for your response. I have the bee honey and I can get the alcohol, but don't have any plant for aloe vera. Can you buy the aloe vera in the health food stores? Thank you for responding to me. I feel so alone in this and I am so tired of all the drs. and the tests. I go tomorrow for another pap. I don't understand how they need to take a pap test if everything is gone. I asked for a pet scan last time and they said the insurance company would not okay it. I had to have a cat scan that made me sick. I can't do the iodine without getting sick to my stomach. We pay $870.00 a month for insurance and they won't approve the pet scan. I called the dr. and asked him what the price difference was between cat and pet scan and they said cat scan was about $900.00 and the pet scan was $1400.00. the way they made it sound it was $10,000. Those insurance companies are the ones that make everyone sicker. They are in it for the money. If you couldn't pay they would dump you in a minute. We have had the same insurance for over 37 yrs. They can't dump you, but they can make your life hell. Don't miss a payment either, that is their excuse to get rid of you. Thank you once again for mailing me. Carolyn"
05/17/2009: Joyce from Joelton, Tn replies: "Hello Carolyn, glad you are still among the living but there are still good odds at beating the averages. I have an older brother who had melanoma surgery in l982 and is still with us today, although the ones following him say he is the only one in the world they know of who has made it 5 years with the type cancer he had. I have just gotten back on my feet and started working with him again to help him regain some quality that he lost a year or so ago when laid low by pneumonia. Those odds are not with chemo. My first thought is that you need to use Ted's alklinizing process. Next we are what we eat. Eliminate all toxins in your food as possible, particularly monosodium glutamate and aspartame. Kick out all carbonated beverages, drinking healthful water, fruit juice instead. For more detailed instructions on eating to beat the cancer, I think Deirdre has a link to Over 200 natural cures for cancer site. For simple dietary instructions while going to this site, eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, as many of them raw as possible, go heavy on those like broccoli, cabbage, and the rest of that family.
I hope you live in a rural area and recognize a few of those so called pesky weeds like dandelion, clover, dock, wild onions, rabbit lettuce (broad leaf plantain), mints, bee balm, pepper grass, shepherd's purse, wild mustard, volunteer turnip greens, etc. Don't gather your greens from the roadside because of toxins from automobiles, but you let a healthy group of them grow in your yard to pick daily. You don't want to mix more than 24 hour supply at a time. Gather a few handfuls of these daily, wash, throw into blender with distilled or other nonchlorinated water to about l inch or so above the level of the leaves. Unknowing people call these weeds, I call them God's medicine. Call these your green smoothies as you puree them in your blender. The taste isn't the best in the world so I add some hot sauce to mine to enhance the flavor. Drink from 1 -3 pints of this green smoothie daily. You can't improve on God's medicine. Get a good stress tab (B complex) and take 1 meal time and bed time. Also get a good multivitamin/mineral supplement and take 1 morning and evening. Some extra folic acid will also help and don't forget good old extra vitamins C (up to l0 grams per day) every l gram every hour while awake. Don't forget good old selenium also. My stomach also rebels against oral H202 but using Bill's inhalation method of H202 gives no problems, so give it a try along with all the other. If you have a compounding pharmacy there call him and ask if he can mix you up some SSKI and start taking 4 to 6 drops in distilled (or other nonchlorinated) water once a day. An 8 ounce supply should last you a year or two. This does many things including killing off mold and other pathogens and keeping your thyroid healthy. If you are familiar with poke sallet, this fall gather the poke berries and start taking 15 to 20 pokeberries 4 times a day. Dehydrate a good supply while taking the fresh ones. You will probably have enough to last you until next falls crop ripens. Lots of good medicine there, and very little risk of unwanted reactions because of the built in fail safes.
If you are having trouble sleeping after radiation, a cup of salt in your bath water at night will help. For a good healthful soaking bath I often throw a cup or two or epsom salts in my water and enjoy a good long soak. The above should get you off to a running start toward regaining health, but keep taking that good old essiac tea, it is good stuff and I have drank a few gallons of it myself off and on. Remember God loves you and wants you to be well and healthy and a good part of that health comes from eating as much food as possible as close to the way God grows. Keep in touch and if you need or want my e mail, you know who to ask for it, and she will give it to you."
05/17/2009: Joyce follows up: "The last listing for the site I had mentioned in EC before and I think you posted a link for it at the time, the name in my favorites list was Over 200 natural cures for cancer plus. The site was loaded with wonderful information on natural cancer cures and it was over 200+, I think but I didn't count them. The major difference I find between it and the site below is MAJOR. Over 200 (remember I told that this had to be a change of name for the site because it was different than the last time I had visited, so apparently they had been raided or feared raiding and channged names to stay ahead of the FDA and their gestapho hi jinks. The site I had mentioned to you before was some guy researching and putting what he found out there for the public to use for free and not offering anything for sell to avoid being charged with practicing medicine without a license. Apparently the FDA or somebody got him anyway because when I clicked on the site in my favorites, what came up We cannot display that web page. Type in "over 200 natural (may have been alternative) cancer cures + and EC search and see if you can pull it up.""
EC: Finally found the website Joyce was referring to! http://www.cancertutor.com/index.html
05/17/2009: Robin from Macomb, Michigan replies: "Hi Carolyn, Hope u are doing well! I was reading on this site about aloe vera,and what i found was a link to a website with a (Franciscan who cures cancer) What he found was he made up this drink he claims to cure all cancer. I,ve not tried it but its worth a try heres the mix:1/2 kg of pure bee honey, 3 small (or 2 big) leaves of Aloe Vera, 3-4 spoons of cognac, whiskey or any distilled alcoholic drink. After cleaning the leaves and cutting the thorns very carefully and gently blending everything in a liquidiser you get a creamy substance. And that is it... You take 1 spoon fifteen minutes after you eat a meal 3x a day. The dosage is prepared for about 10 days. If you havent finished the mixture you can carry on until its gone. Its worth a try hope this helps!
God Bless,
Robin"
05/17/2009: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "I have tested apricot pits before -- it's effect on killing cancer is usually limited in its effect and had to be taken for a much longer period, such as a month or two. The effects of a hydrogen peroxide will have two stages. When first taken, and when tumors get killed, the tumors tend to enlarge pushing up the pain somewhat. In any event most of the pain came from the swelling because too much water was drunk. The swelling would have been reduced and pain much less if sea salt such as 1/4-1/2 teaspoon was added in the 16 oz water. It's the same phenomenon when a person cries and the eyes well, because when they cry, the body looses salt causing the cells to swell. It occurs also, when too much water was drank and it pushes up against the abdomen. In a standard remedy using the hydrogen peroxide, people with cancer I have noticed require a much larger amount of sea salt then is normally required. In a day the intake of sea salt is often 1/2 teaspoon x 3 that is dissolved in drinking water. Because of hyperosmolarity in the use of sea salt, tumor will generally shrink allowing hydrogen peroxide to access the tumor easier because of its smaller size and killing them more effectively. In any event, a combination of remedies of cancer usually works best, but a person has to know which combination. Alkalization is helpful, but is always taken separate from a sea salt remedy and taken on an empty stomach, such as 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda plus 1/2 teaspoon potassium citrate. While the water with peroxide is taken with added sea salt to help shrink tumor size, reduce the pain by it's smaller size so it won't squeeze the abdomen where surgery was performed. Apricot pits has a major component called benzaldehyde, which is bitter almond and is a common flavoring agent, but is quite toxic to the cancer, more so than the B17 laertile that's is known by most people. In any event, a clove oil, also works too. Synergistically they work best together, but your remedy appears to be missing the sea salt.Ted"
05/18/2009: Robin from Macomb, Michigan replies: "Hi Carolyn! Aloe plants can be bought at any garden place i dont know if they make an organic kind but there usually buy the cactus's. They grow upright and there leaves are picky, although in the health food stores you can buy aloe vera juice in the bottle, I dont know if thats considered the same but worth a try! And as for doctors i think its hard to find one thats in it for the patient not for the money but i really dont have alot of faith in them. Try to keep positive and keep trying the homopathic ways cause i really think thier much better! God Bless!

05/18/2009: Lynn from Cape Town, South Africa replies: "re: Carolyn UTERINE CANCER
Sorry to hear of your bad response to H202. I have been hearing nothing but good news about this therapy for years now. Just recently heard about my uncle in Zimbabwe who due to the shortage of just about everything there, tried the Hydrogen Peroxide therapy for spinal cancer (not sure what type). He was tested a couple of months ago to see how far the cancer had spread - they could not find any cancer at all.
Three months ago one of my employees(I own a small business),started to bleed so severely that they had to rush her to the government hospital as she is unable to afford a private doctor or hospital. She was diagnosed with cervical cancer which had spread to her uterus, bladder, ovaries etc. The diagnosis was really bad (28 years old with a 7 month old baby), she was still waiting for the results of her pap smear which was taken long before she had fallen pregnant, I guess the hormones from her pregnancy made everything out of control and fed the cancer. Anyhow the outcome did not look good at all.
I went back and read everything about H202 therapy that I could find. I then had a long discussion with her about it and she decided she had nothing to loose. I bought 35% food grade H202. Started with the 3 drops in glass of well water 3 times a day working up to the max 25 drops 3 times a day. This was started 2 weeks before she started her 6 week daily radiation therapy, she had loads of energy by the time she went into hospital. She did so well that she was allowed to attend as an outpatient. She experienced none of the normal hair loss or nausea. The doctor was astounded. He tested her and could not find any CANCER. She started work today fitter than I have ever seen her. We will slowly decrease the dosage until we reach minimum 3 drops a day and stay on it for a few months or until she get a few more all clear signs.
It appears that not everyone can tolerate it in larger dosages. From what I have been reading the Key to it all is getting your PH balance right, adding oxygen into the cells and try to correct our eating habits and also supplement all the vitamins, minerals, oils etc., that our body needs and to get rid of all those nasty parasites, toxins and heavy metals. In short we have a lot of reading to do, if one thing doesn't work try something else. this is what makes this site so good. The feed back from all those who have failed or succeeded in the different treatments.
I myself cannot tolerate more than 5 drops of H202 at a time. I now take it only once a day. I also take ACV ( 2 Tblsp in glass of water 3 times a day) do Oil Pulling 3 times a day with good old sunflower oil (found 1 Tblsp too much so I halved the amount), drink 1 tsp Schweden- Bitters twice a day and add a mixture of 1/2 cup Bicarbonate of soda, 1/2 cup of sea salt 1/2 cup ACV and 100ml of 35% H202 to my bath water. I gently scrub my body all over with a nail brush first before relaxing for half an hr in the bath.
I first felt drained (toxins being released ?) 1 week later I have renewed energy, I sleep well when I do get to sleep, I breath easier and my arthritis pains in my legs and arms are gone, my sinusitis, postnasal drip and chronic bronchitis have eased off considerably, my acid reflux has gone.
With time I will try other remedies as well. It took years of polluting our bodies that we cannot expect overnight successes. Incidently I have bone and joint pains, suffer from cluster headaches, was diagnosed with Bi-polar, have bad peridontitis, high collestrol, have anxiety attacks, psoriasis, candida, adult acne and also put on a lot of weight around my belly even though I am not overweight. I also suspect that I have Morgellons. I am tired of going to doctors who look at me as if I am a hypocondriac and then want to prescribe anti-depressants. I know my body, it feels as if I am 80 and not 49 and my short term memory has let me down time and time again and this all started slowly over the past few years - I do not buy into the menopause theory either.
If I had the facts that I know now I would have treated my body with more respect, I liken it to a car. Little problems become big when ignored. The fact that the scientists, doctors and big pharmaceuticals have kept things from us to gain in their pockets is utterly disgusting.
Don't give up and keep a positive attitude. Good luck! I am sure if you keep looking you will find something that will help. Thank God there are sites like this one on the net. If one thing doesn't help there is always an alternative.
To Ted, thank you for all your information, it helps when things are put into perspective in layman terms. I have tried starting the therapy a few times myself (COPD, arthritis, insomnia, postnasal drip etc.) I cannot stomach more than 7 drops at a time. I now drink 2Tblsp acv with"
05/19/2009: Carolyn from Shelby, Ohio replies: "Ted,
Thank you for responding to me on my uterine cancer. I feel so alone. I want to live, that was my first priority after I was done feeling sorry for myself. It did no good. I decided to do the natural stuff, but all I have read is how good the apricot pits are. I was lucky my sisters were around they went and got me some at a reasonable price. I let them sit for a month or so until after they radiated me to pieces and when I could finally handle it I ground them up. I take the essiac too. I am going to go and get some sea salt and try that also. I am also going to try to alkalize my body. I don't think it is. I don't know where to get the test strips, but I will try the drug store. I have so many tests lined up. I am sick of them and all of the bills that go along with them. I told my dr. yesterday I was doing hydrogen peroxide and he told me to stop. He asked me if I did chemo, shouldn't he know? I told him no and I wasn't going to take it either and he got quiet. I went along with the radiation and it almost killed me. I will take my chances waiting for a cure or just doing natural things. I have a good attitude and it is spring, I never thought I would see it and here I am.
Ted am I putting too much hydrogen peroxide in the water or just drinking too much of it at a time. I thought you had to drink the whole 16 oz. at once. It is bottled water too and not distilled. That might be a mistake. I don't understand why it would cause that much constant gas.
Anyway, thank you Ted. You seem like a very kind and caring man.
Carolyn"

VITAMIN B-17 FROM APRICOT SEEDS
04/02/2009: Rajamani from Chennai, India, India writes: "My request to Mr.Ted to search into the information connected with Vitamin B17, through Apricot Seeds for curing cancer. It seems to be so effective with wide understanding. It would be useful if you bring it under earthclinic. Yours truly,
Rajamani "

[YEA] 08/21/2008: Mary from Troy, N.Y. writes: "My dad used apricot seeds and b17 for cancer. Dx with stage 4 stomach cancer to the liver he was not given much hope. Although he did have 5 chemo treatments I believe it was the b17 that put his cancer in remission. He is now cancer free even though the doctors said he never would be.
He takes 20 apricot seeds a day and 3 500mg tablets of the b17 pill form. He also takes 2 tbs of goji juice and eats a little pineapple everyday. The goji juice for the zinc and pineapple for the enyzme that you need with b17."

[YEA] Steve from Virginia writes: "This is one of the best actual cures for cancer. When you go into the store you see many vitamins.You don't see vitamin b-17 now do you? That's because the FDA took control over it-funny how that's the only vitamin (so far) that they control. Organic apples have vitamin b-17 in the skin,but if they're not organic they don't since the chemicals non-organic farmers use kill it. But,there is hope!!! Buy apricots from any store, rinse them off well and eat them. Don't throw away the hard shell that is in the core of the apricot. Smash the hard shell open with a hammer. Put it in a bag so it doesn't go flying everywhere,or use whatever you can use-maybe a nut cracker. Once the hard shell is broke there is a soft seed in it. Eat it. It's bitter tasting but kills cancer. Apple seeds also have the same thing, but apricot seeds are much higher in B-17. To prevent cancer eat 14 apricot seeds every other day, or six-seven a day. If you have cancer, well, I'd tell you to eat 50 a day!! It works. My mom had breast cancer and now she's fine and healthy because of this! No B.S"

[YEA] Steve writes: "Well, first of all,I put my mom on a 21 day juice fast. Every working hour she would drin veggie and/or fruit juice,and green tea,along with blending apricot seeds and apple seeds in the juice. While on the juice fast for 21 days, she ate apricots and their seeds / kernels,apple seeds,brown rice,green tea,flax seeds,organic sprouts(she ate them without washing the soil off),enzymes,vitamins,and ran about 2 miles 2-3 times a week.She ate about 30-50 apricot seeds a day.After the 21 day fast,she ate no meat,drank no dairy products, still drank juice with her meals-she also went on a full body cleanse. Her meals consisted of veggies, salads, apricots and clean natural foods that would fight cancer. She didn't go on chemo, but she was put on some medication by the doctor to help her out. I believe, along with the juice fast,the b-17 in the seeds cured her cancer. Her first month she went to the doctor and like 75 % of it was gone.Then,3 weeks later, about 95% of her cancer was gone. 2 1/2 weeks later it was all gone. It took about 2 months, but her cancer cells started dying after about 3 weeks or a month. She still consumes the apricot seeds everyday, and juices, and eats healthy. She only eats about 7-14 a day though, not like 30 or 50 anymore, lol. No problem. I don't mind helping others."
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Firstly, cancer could possibly be a vitamin B17 deficiency. The compound I first found out about in the early 1970s was called laetrile or commonly known as amydalin. Amydalin is found in apple seed and apricot seeds. The Hunzas people, where cancer is virtually unknown, consume 4-8 apricot seeds a day"
07/16/2008: Bret from Phoenix, AZ replies: "I researched laetril back in 2002-2003, or was it, 2001-2002.
B-17 as it is now referred to, is a compound that when metabolized inside of mamalian cells, breaks down into hydrogen cyanide. Now, cancer cells have no metabolic way to deal with this compound and thusly, it is selectively toxic to cancer. Our cells can metabolize hydrogen cyanide but only up to a certain point.
By this description, B-17, has many characteristics of some chemotherapy agents, which are selectively toxic. The trick is, how much can you titrate the dose upwards until you get maximum effect without causing side affects and toxicity.
The way b-17 works, higher doses are more lethal to cancer.
So, dosing is not that scientific, as laetrile or b-17 does not fall under FDA scrutiny and the promoters of such have indeed brought lawyers and data to the court room so that laetril is not illegal.
What I do know for certain about laetril is this:
1)It can become toxic at higher doses, but its effectiveness is also dose dependant.
2)It will increase the permiability of cancer cell membranes, (Brewer,) and improve other therapies.
3)It does not have very accurate dosing parameters as there is no FDA requirements of pharmaceutical type testing and titrating.
4)It should not be used as only therapy for cancer.
5)Is a good preventative in low to moderate dosing.
Remember:
Cancer can become resistant to laetril, so I look at b-17 as an adjunct to other chemo/alternative therapies.
Laetril can be given with alkaline, vitamin c, and oxygen therapies.
Should you take laetril?
Well, when looking at clinical trials of other substances, like cesium chloride, the percentage of response for cancer cases is higher in other therapies. This doesn't mean that b-17 should be ignored. The single biggest promoter of cesium chloride, which had great response in trials, also recommends b-17 as additional adjunct to the same cesium chloride therapy."
07/18/2008: Joyce from Joelton, Tn replies: "Laetrile is derived from apricot seeds, does have some cyanide in them, but so does apple seeds and peach seeds. Many other plants also contain cyanide, but usually always in small amounts. You don't hear as much about it now as you did 20 - 30 years ago, but some people are still obtaining it from underground sources. As to whether you should take it, my opinion is that God's wisdom far exceeds the big pharmaceuticals, and it is probably safer to take it, Essiac tea, Hoxsey's formula, Jason Winter's tea, oleander,or myriads of other herbal preparations than it is to take antibiotics or chemotherapy.Classic example is that the pharmaceutical companies have been scouring herbal treatments all over this planet for the last 40 - 50 years, and probably much longer than that. If you want to check this out, just feed in poke weed (southern poke salad) and look up some of the studies that have been done on this weed. How did they know what weeds to study? By collecting folk medicine remedies (for instance the heart medicine digitalis came from the foxglove weed a home remedy plant for heart problems, and many other medications came from weeds - podophyllin for genital and chemodrug E-topocide both come from the mayapple, another chemodrug Vincristine comes from the pink periwinkle plant. The problem is that the pharmaceutical companies cannot patent the natural plant so they work on isolating the one chemical in that plant that has the effect they want, then make a synthetic version of it that they can patent and make a fortune on. Unfortunately, this removes all the failsafe chemicals in that plant, that God in his wisdom put there, which leaves a very toxic product. I have never seen it in print, but I'd be willing to bet that Viox (the arthritis drug that caused so many to have strokes and heart attacks) was an isolate from pokeweed or its poke berries. I, and most of the people I know, were raised to believe that poke berries are poison. I have been taking poke berries for 40 plus years and have gotten a lot of others taking them also, without adverse effects, because we are taking the whole berries with the built in failsafes. I also suspect that several of the later hypertensive medications came from our lowly poke weed."

WALDENSTROM'S MACROGLOBULINEMIA
[QUESTION] 06/25/2009: Denise from Clearwater, FL writes: "My husband was diagnosed in March with Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia. This is a rare chronic blood cancer characterized by high protein levels of immunoglobulin M (IgM or "macroglobulin") antibody. His symptoms included severe headaches, night sweats, fatigue and anemia. He is currently undergoing his 2nd round of chemo with Cladibrine as he had a positive response with the first round and it reduced his IgM's by almost 4000, and lowered his blood viscosity to 2.7. We are hoping that this second round will reduce him to almost normal levels. I am hoping that there are other Earth Clinic readers that have had experience with WM and can give us some feedback on any natural remedies that can help prevent this terrible disease from getting out of hand again once we get it under control. Thank you!"

Cancer patients turning to alternative remedies
60 percent seek natural 'cures' despite warnings from doctors
Doctors are seeing a resurgence of cancer patients seeking nontraditional remedies to control their disease, even though the treatments aren't proven to be safe or effective.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31088185/from/ET/"
06/09/2009: Dj from Pdx, Or replies: "Well here is another article that coincides with the one I sent yesterday. It looks like the drug companies have their spin doctors working overtime. This one is especially good. It draws a person in stating how doctors are embracing alternative practices and then about half way through the true intent of the article starts shining through.
Article is entitled:
Doctors eager to try 'mystical mumbo jumbo'
Alternative remedies gain acceptance despite lack of evidence
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31083316/from/ET/"
06/09/2009: Joyce from Joelton, Tn. replies: "I beg to differ that these alternative herbal remedies being untested. If you want to know how well they have been tested, read up on what the doctors and pharmaceutical companies have been doing over the last 40 or so years. You will find that they have been collecting plants from all over planet earth and determining what chemicals they have and what activities those chemicals have. In other words, they have been exploring home/herbal remedies and borrowing from them just as medicine has always done. Savvy doctors were prescribing l foxglove leaf for their "weak heart" patients long before the pharmaceuticals were producing digitalis pills.
It was in a physiology class at a well known medical school in l978/9 that the instructor shared a little pearl of wisdom. It was: "From some research we have going on here, we don't know how, but for some reason poke berries throws the body into gear to fight". I just sat there & grinned because I had been taking them for the last l5 years on the advice of a little country woman who probably didn't go beyond the 3rd or 4th grade in school. Most likely the producers of Vioxx studied this plant and found one or two chemicals that had the anti-arthritis action they wanted and made a synthetic version of them that could be patented, so they could rake in huge profits from it. You probably already know that Vioxx decreased quality of life or outright killed thousands of people.
It doesn't take an Einstein to figure out that the reason poke berries safely boosts the immune system, while a synthetic version of a few of the herb's chemicals maimed or outright killed thousands of people, is because the herbal remedy still contains the fail safe chemicals that the pharmaceutical company removed from their synthetic version they marketed. The problem is that the pharmaceutical company didn't test their synthetic version before marketing it and creating havoc for too many people taking it. An aunt of mine now has the residual damage from a stroke and a pacemaker implanted, thanks to Vioxx.
If you want to broaden your mind with a little more reading, go pick up a copy of "The Green Pharmacy" by James Duke, PhD degree botanist. You can get a quick education on how well these herbal remedies (plants, many of which are labeled weeds) have been studied and tested. Even the lowly little prickly pear cactus has an amazing array of chemicals and nutrients in it."
