Advice needed for father with prostate issuesPosted By Erin (Rushden, England) on 09/01/2013
Prostate cancer diagnosed in 2000 after routine control then confirmed with biopsy. Since then he has been on hormanal therapy with casodex 50mg. No prostatectomy was executed. In 2005 he was being treated with radiotherapy and then continued with the hormanal therapy.
He has been doing CT body scans, RMN, bone scan etc all this while not demonstrating the presence of the prostate cells in the nearby areas( Iliac bone, iliac lymph nodes).
In 2010 after a global body tomoscintigraphy(PET) reveals that a minimal quantity of the contrasting fliud was captured just around the prostrate gland.
Lombar vertebrate L4 was not affected.
Since then he has Always been on casodex 50mg to have the situation under control. No radiotherapy was being prescribed at this point.
Global body tomoscintigraphy done in Nov 2012 revealed that prostate cells were located on the left wing of the the iliac bone. A mediastinic lymph node was suspected to be involved in a minor way.
He was then put on a new hormonal therapy drug(enantone 3.75mg once a month) for 6 months which uptill date he is still undergoing this treatment.
In Feb/March 2013 he started having pains in his left foot which was later diagnosed as a sciatic nerve pain.
Bone scan done in June 2013 shows that the prostate cells are present in the the spine, chest bone, iliac bone.
He has then been put on pain killer(tachidol made of paracetamol and codeina), deltacortene( anti inflamation drug), pregabalin for neuropathic pains.
He has been undergoing bone strengthening therapy with zometa( once every 28days).
On tuesday the 27th, we went in to the Emergency unit because he was suffering from severe left leg pains. Three different pain killers were being injected all in vain in this order: lixidol, contramal and talwin. We had to go home bc there was nothing more the doctors could do. The next morning we went back to see the orthopedic who prescribed a new pain killer( Targin made of ossicodone and naloxone 5mg/2.5mg). This dosage can be increased need be.
CT scan done a few days ago still reveals the presence of prostate cells on ilaic bone, spine, chest bone.
With the last results, we are waiting to be called by the oncologist for the next step. As he said earlier, there might be need for a change in therapy. This might involve chemotherapy and or a new hormonal therapy.
We would much much rather avoid this with the hope tht natural therapies can help reverse the situation.
Many thanks in advance and God bless EC and all its members.

Anyway. Read this pages: https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/prostate-cancer.html, open a wordpad and try and suit what's best as starters.
Speaking of starters, the body must get alkalized w/ buffering minerals. Take whole body hot-bath w/ 1/4 cup baking soda (sodium bi-carbonate) and 1/4 cup Epsom Salt (magnesium sulfate); 3x wk. Also in the very important category is Lipospheric Vit-C. You can make your own or can buy on Amazon. Third most important is H2O2 or Oxygen therapy (all the info here on E.C. )
Awaiting your update.

They have an interesting protocol on taking MSM (pure MSM flakes - not the capsules) along with Vitamin C (the lypo-spheric type) - large doses for advanced cases of cancer. MSM is good for so many things but it needs to be the pure flake type. They explain why on their site.

My heart goes out to you and your Dad. I hope you find the remedy that you need. Take care, Bess

Prostate cancer diagnosed in 2000 following routine examination and he has since been on hormanal therapy with casodex 50mg with no prostatectomy was executed. In 2005 he was given radiotherapy and then continued with the hormanal therapy. After that time, CT body scans, RMN, bone scans showed no prostate cells in Iliac bone or lymphnodes. A 2010 PET scan revealed some contrasting fluid around the prostate gland and he continued with Casodex and no radiotherapy to control. Another PET scan in Nov 2012 revealed prostate cells in the left wing of the Iliac Bone and he was put on enantone 3.75mg once a month as a hormonal therapy. In Feb/March 2013 he started having leg pains and was diagnosed with Sciatica. A bone scan in June 2013 revealed prostate cells in the spine, chest and iliac bone. He is currently on pain killers for neuropathic pains and having bone strengthening (Zometa) treatment every month.
The Drs are proposing Chemotherapy next which I could I would rather have him avoid, but they can't start it now as his HB and platelet levels keep dropping. HB reading today 9.7 after blood transfusion yesterday and platelets 20, 000.
We have been researching hard into alternative therapies and so far he has been using Essiac Tea, Apricot Kernels (20/day) & 2 B17/day. He has also been supplementing with Eniva Vibe, CoQ10 enzyme. Yesterday he started the Bircarbonate of Soda and Blackstrap Molasses protocol to help alkanise and stop the spread of cancer.
We are desperate for help to bring platelets and HB up and stop metastatis. Please please help!
