I don't know where to draw the line between medical advice and just advice, but there is a lot of studies and details on the net about using IODINE for tumors, and specifically breast tumors.

There are astounding per cent increases of everything from cancers to chronic fatigue to thyroid to sick building syndrome the past 25 years or so, and many say it's the abysmally low iodine intake in the world, except for Japan!

Key names to search would be Dr. Abraham, Dr. Brownstein, and Dr. Derry (Victoria, BC).

I understand that in the USA now since 2007, thanks to the DEA, no amount of LUGOL's iodine in its nearly 2-century old strength of 5/10% is available for personal purchase in a size over 1 30-ml bottle.

There's also SSKI, which as the name implies, is only the KI= Potassium iodide (reduced) form of iodine (no plain iodine). The SS= Super Saturated.

Some plain drug stores likely sell the small bottles of weaker mixed 'tincture' of iodine/iodide; some in water, some in ETHYL alcohol, and some in ISOPROPYL alcohol(this last one NOT to be taken internally ever, and not even reco for skin application.)

Hope this is helpful to you.

I also had this experience with the tumor breaking through the skin and making a horrible wound for which I had to wear socks beneath my bra to absorb any weeping of the wound or blood which would spurt out if the wound were bumped (it was between the sternum and upper breast, almost exact location of L. Day's). This was a very large hard tumor, size of tennis ball. I had been putting tea tree oil on the site and decided this was not a good idea as it was getting worse so found a product and immediately begin using it 2-3 x daily and it completely healed the open wound within a week or two. The name of it is Argentyn, and is recommended for any type of wound, burn, blister abrasion, rash, ulceration, etc. Two ingredients are silver hydrosol and aloe. This has nothing to do with shrinking the tumor but is good for any open wound.

Organic Juicing Diet

BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS

Hello,

My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer about 2 years ago and as soon as she was notified she went on an organic raw food juicing diet. She only drank organic juices and ate fruit and vegetables for the past 2 years. She drank apple/carrot juice and a green leaf veggie juice mixed with red cabbage and red apple. She alternated the apple/carrot juice with the green juice throughout the day, drinking about 8-10 juices daily with 3 meals in between. She also drank organic orange juice freshly squeezed every morning. She got the diet from Dr. Lorain Day. Dr. Day cured herself of breast cancer using this diet.

Everything has been going well so far, but in the past 6 months, my mom's gums have receded drastically. She has been to the dentist but he told her she does not have periodontal disease. She is afraid that if they get any lower then her teeth might start to fall out. Do you have any idea if she is missing any vitamins? Maybe she needs some oils, or B vitamins that she does not get from her diet. Please let me know if you can help.
She does not eat any sugar, animal products, or take any vitamins/minerals/oils. This is what Dr. Day did for when she beat breast cancer.

Thank you,

Natalie

There's a possibility that she's low on minerals and omega oils. You don't mention how much protein she is getting. Check oil pulling cures here in Earth Clinic, I just read about gum and teeth great results. Good luck.

Gums receding is what I experienced from a no-animal-protein vegetarian diet. I did some research and found that it commonly happens when there is not enough protein in the diet. I added animal protein to my diet and the receeding gum problem stopped.

Well I would suggest adding lentils and beans in your diet. I make soups from all varities of lentils and beans (Indian & Mid-Eastern), add veggies and natural seasonings out of your herbal garden or kitchen cabinet. Healthier and body gets what it needs to protect you and your teeth.

My suggestion after reading books on dietary, i'd switch to vegan. MEAT & DAIRY cause issues that people arent even aware of unless they read books and about it. Read "The China Study". Studies after studies of evidence shows vegan diet can reverse/cure diabetes, heart disease, cancers, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, arthritis, alzheimer. Your body is getting a lot of toxins from eating the commom Western diet. Casein is a cancer causing agent in dairy products; esp milk. Wheat grass is good for curing cancers and tumors and such. I drink 1 oz a day. I also drink a homemade probiotic daily. If you change your eating habits to vegan and drink 1 0z or 2 of wheatgrass I think you can start to heal your health from the inside out including the breast cancer. But seek professional help as well. I think if you change your eating habits to healthy, your body will begin to heal itself. The book can be found on Amazon for like $10. Please read it, it may change your life forever and your health. Also drink at least 32 oz of water daily to cleanse your system from toxins. I have other suggestions for reading on this topic is anyone is interested I will give you the name sof the books I have read. It is true, YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT!!

It might be worth adding that the present studies have found that the sugar fructose, made from corn starch, which is used to sweeten just about everything in the western world, feeds cancer cells like fertiliser feeds crops. When denied this booster the immune system keeps them in check.

You know, Funlovingal, for every suggestion there is a counter-suggestion and that makes knowing what to eat and how to live nowadays very difficult! You advise the China Study, although I haven't read it I have read a lot of reviews and to be honest.... I must prefer books like Trick and Treat by Barry Groves! He advises the contrary and he explains why. Probably both books sound right.... Very hear to know what to do! Anyway, people have to see on which diet they feel better, I don't think that anyone can tell you what to do! And it is not only Trick and Treat that demystify the old beliefs that being a vegan or a vegetarian will change your health for the better.... Lots of literature out there!

Osage Orange

Osage Orange killed my breast cancer

I had breast cancer 1995, read about osage orange 1997, kept one in freezer. When I contracted breast cancer (actually 2 different in same side) because my doctor missed it, I had to go to a cancer clinic. I had stage 4 by the time I was able to get in. When she talked about chemotherapy, I remembered how it was, and decided to research Osage Orange. I happened to have some on my property and processed it myself to assure quality. I started taking it a week before the unnecessary biopsy my cancer doc sent me through. I wanted the tumor out! Knowing a week as nothing significant, and not wanting my doctor to poo poo the idea, I did not tell her. They found no cancer, so she recommended a lumpectomy - duh! A month and a half after starting the Osage Orange daily without fail, the pathological report came back and the pathologist & my doc were confused. "There were cancer cells, but they were all dead and a golden brown substance within the tumor dead cells. Osage orange turns golden brown when exposed to air after processing. I ate nothing different, I took no medications yet, no radiation or any other treatment for cancer yet. Osage orange killed it. No hair loss, no bad side effects, my hair color turned back to blonde, and it got rid of my arthritis! I don't take it every day now in 2025, because I do not know the long term effects, but I still take it when I feel the arthritis coming back.

It's listed under "ailments" and then "cancer". On the side you scroll down to "Osage orange" and a poster named Rick McKean (Carlsbad, NM) wrote on how to process it. It's a very involved process. You can buy them on Amazon but the sellers will send some on the edge of spoiling or it happens in the S&H.


Oxygen Therapy - Warning!


Posted by Carol (La Verne, CA) on 05/08/2008
★☆☆☆☆

WARNING!

I've been a fan of Earth Clinics remedies for a long time. Had success with oil pulling, leaching out fluoride, ACV with baking soda, but one remedy I have to warn against is the oxygen therapy for cancer. I have breast cancer and tried the HBOT (oxygen tank). It was $6,000 for 40 sessions. At the end of these sessions my tumor grew from a large grape size to a large grapefruit size. In addition I tried soaking in Hydrogen Peroxide and taking Bill's spray. This irritated the tumor and sprouted another tumor in my lymph node area under my arm. Later from a doctor I found out that that a lot of cancer patients using external remedied applied cause the tumors to grow out of the skin and cause other more serious problems. So I just want to warn those of you with cancer to be weary.

HBOT is not recommended for those with cancer, in general. Oxygen under pressure is beneficial for those recovering from chemotherapy and radiation poisoning. To learn more, visit http://www.The-HOPE-Clinic.com.

I agree with the Carol. I was dealing with a recurrence of breast cancer. I decided to do the natural route, after having chemo. I head about heating the body to kill cancer cells and decided to seek a naturapath. He proceeded with heating with ozone in the tank, after four treatments I noticed my lymph node under my arm becoming much bigger. I told the doctor and he said it's the white blood cells doing its job. However, they kept getting bigger. I have since stopped, unfortunately the lymph nodes have all gotten bigger, the cancer has spread and all the lymph nodes in my neck on the left side is infected. I am now back in treatment, which I had seen this site (EC) sooner. Will use some of the remedies to counteract the effects of treatment. Thanks all for the great info and remedies.

Thank you for posting, I have been told I have breast cancer recently and have been doing Paw Paw program. The company I have been using has been having great success over the yrs with cancer.. Paw paw is not available in Canada so I order it from the US. I intend to continue this and also add some of the recommendations from this site.

Poultice

Hello, I was diagnosed with breast cancer 2 years ago... No chemo or radiation for me however... Tumor has now grown and has pushed outside the breast resulting in a malodorous cauliflower growth. Was wondering if anyone had ever tried a poultice made of ground flax seeds, water and activated charcoal? I have heard that this may help with the odor. Has anyone ever tried it?

Sea Vegetables


Posted by Anon (Anon) on 01/12/2013

From WH Foods online:

"Sea vegetables may play a role in lowering risk of estrogen-related cancers, including breast cancer. Since cholesterol is required as a building block for production of estrogen, the cholesterol-lowering effects of sea vegetables may play a risk-reducing role in this regard. However, more interesting with respect to breast cancer risk is the apparent ability of sea vegetables to modify aspects of a woman's normal menstrual cycle in such a way that over a lifetime, the total cumulative estrogen secretion that occurs during the follicular phase of the cycle gets decreased. For women who are at risk of estrogen-sensitive breast cancers, sea vegetables may bring a special benefit in this regard."

Sea greens contain high levels of salvestrols which are natural anticancer agents. Salvestrols have been used to successfully treat breast cancer even if its ER ve or ER -ve.

The ancient Egyptians knew about the powerful anticancer effects of seaweed and the oldest recorded cancer remedy is recorded on a papyrus manuscript.

Ted's Remedies

Posted by Sue (Stevensville, Montana, Usa) on 03/11/2013

Ted, I am new to the site and feel so hopeful. Your advice seems sound and I am grateful. A year ago I was diagnosed with aggressive, estrogen positive breast cancer that had spread to lymph. I would appreciate your suggestions as to what I should be taking. I have bought lysine (from reading this web site). It is in capsule form (500 mg). I am also taking hydrogen peroxide (35%) 3 drops in 8 oz water. I just started these and don't know if they should be taken away from food, together, etc. BHT is on order.

I would appreciate if you would list out a program that would help me heal of what to take when. I feel I am making some progress but also think it is spreading ( I realize that sounds contrary). Thank you for your time and caring.

Hi Sue, it would be helpful to know what treatment you have had so far- conventional eg radiation- etc ovaries removed? What's your diet like? The Plant Programme by Jane Plant comes highly recommended as do many others. What's your blood work like? White cell count? Lysine is recommended as it increases the immune system and White blood count so it is said to stop cancer spreading. Iodine is often recommended to kill the breast cancer but there are lots of others. Kind Regards.

Xenoestrogens

Posted by Sam (Miami, Fl) on 05/10/2015

A young girl is born. She is a difficult child. Fussy eater, poor sleep pattern, lots of colds. She loves chicken and craves chocolate. She has trouble with her periods from almost the onset of menstruation. They are irregular and painful and she suffers PMT. Her doctor puts her on the oral contraceptive to suppress ovulation and this seems to quieten things down. Eventually she comes off the pill to start a family. Her periods take 6 months to resume and they are worse than ever. She has trouble conceiving because the pill has depleted her zinc levels. She is low in progesterone and loses a few pregnancies at multiples of 4 weeks (4,8,12,16). She eventually gets pregnant but her copper accumulates and she develops postnatal depression. Her baby is zinc deficient and probably has excess copper. She tries for another baby but this time she can't because she's developed endometriosis. Answer: the oral contraceptive. She starts to gain weight, starts to get depressed, then her skin changes. Her face develops a reddish tinge. Then she develops anxiety symptoms. She is told this is anxiety/panic disorder causing her depression and is put onto antidepressants, but these don't help her tiredness. Then she finds out that she's iron deficient, but she can't raise her iron levels with supplements. Then she's told she's got an under active thyroid and needs thyroid replacement. Still no real improvement in energy. After a few years of this purgatory of health, she goes off the pill and develops heavy periods. She finds out that now she also has fibroids and consents to hysterectomy. Then she discovers that her Estrogen levels are low. Then the punch line. "You don't have uterus, therefore you don't need progesterone". She starts Estrogen only HRT. Despite complaining of breast tenderness, she is told to continue. One day one of the painful lumps in her breast is brought to her doctor's attention. She has a mammogram, then a biopsy. The pathology shows breast cancer. She has a lumpectomy with axillary node clearance. Her tumour is Estrogen receptor positive. So then it starts. Chemo then tamoxifen. Five years later she gets a terrible pain in the back. She has spinal metastases. More chemo. Then liver secondaries. Sorry, not much more medicine can do, we've really done our best. We've followed the book; every single health recommendation. Oh, and by the way, don't go near those natural therapists. They have no idea of how to help you. End of story. This case represents the full house of Xenoestrogens symptoms, and unfortunately many of the patients with breast cancer have some version of this story.

Do you think that the medical professional would accept any blame for these events?

This is an obvious example of a win/loose game. I like the scenario where there are no losers. Referencing to war, Bruce Springsteen said "Nobody wins unless everybody wins".

A few yrs ago, I gathered statistics from obituaries from regional newspaper and came up with a mean average death of 75 (to the best of my recollection as I have those stats written down but cannot now find them but am presently searching). From my local paper last two editions here are the numbers: 11 deaths 51 being the lowest and 95 the highest # and a mean average 67.5. My recent interest in recording these stats was stimulated by one edition obit of 6 deaths with 4 reported in the 50's category.

I nearly cringed reading your well written message. I started this journey long ago myself. Irregular periods, put on the pill, still irregular bleeding, then a hysterectomy leading to severe menopausal symptoms. Then I met a doctor, who specializes in women's health who told me about Xeno hormones. My whole life changed after following his advice, which was get rid of all products containing fake hormones! No more symptoms, no more discomfort. My own gynecologist had never even heard of a Xeno hormones. Every doctor should know. I bet I wouldn't have needed a hysterectomy if I had met Dr. Eckhart earlier.
