Father with stage 4 colon cancer and swollen legs

Posted By Luvmydaddy (Dallas, Oregon, Usa) on 10/05/2010

stage 4 colon cancer and now swollen legs

Oh please help me. My Father is in critical care. Just a couple days ago he got massive swelling in the right leg and now the right ankle and foot is beginning to swell too. This took away so much of his independence. His leg is huge and he cannot even pick it up himself. He was taken off his cumudin (blood thinner) because he began to bleed from the rectum do to the large tumor (10cm). He lost so much blood that now he undergoes blood transfusions. So they placed a filter as to not have any clots travel up to the lungs or anything. Deep inside he is strong willed and it breaks my heart to see him like this. His tumor is painful. He was just hospitalized do to being dehydrated.. Low in sodium and of course the major swelling in the legs. Please anybody out there help me. I am his last hope. Please

Luv, I am sorry to hear what you and father are going through. There are a few things that I think can help.. Since he probably has lost his appetite, organic green drinks are probably best to get some nutrition into him. I would add to these AHCC (a mushroom complex developed in Japan and widely used in clinics). And a broad spectrum mushroom complex like "Host Defense". Vitamin D. 2000 . Astragalus, and Milk Thistle. His liver is most likely compromised. (the leg swelling). And please look into Low Dose Naltrexone. 4. 5 mg. Taken before bed will boost endorphins in turn boosting immunity... The testimonials and evidence are impressive... Here are some links...

Luv:

There are astounding numbers and varieties of holistic and natural therapies out there for cancer (over 600), and obviously you don't have time to try more than 1 or 2 and hope to get results.

Here's just one partial list from one site:

http://www.mnwelldir.org/docs/cancer1/altthrpy2.htm#Essiac Formula

Since it sounds like your dad can't travel, this narrows down the possibilities to local remedies, either off the shelf directly or perhaps through a local naturopath. For something with a proven track record of 80 years, the Essiac Tea would be a good choice. It's on the page of the URL above, down a ways. But it has no detail, so I'll provide some for you. First, to scribd. com, where the reading is free (you can download and save a document only if you set up an account there):
35 page short summary of essiac, with home recipe PAGE 8!

http://www.scribd.com/doc/7793094/The-Truth-About-Essiac

AND

Detailed 300 page book, 1988, on detailed story of essiac. NOTE Page 3 of book, paragraph about what Rene Casse herself said about the Essiac blend! http://www.scribd.com/doc/4442071/Calling-of-an-Angel-Plus-More-Info

Here is how the potent sheep sorrel supposedly works against the tumor:

What does a dry package or bottle look like in the store? Here's the pictures:
DRY HERB mixture, MAKE AT HOME, MAKES 72 oz= 2 liters:

PRE-MIXED/BREWED IN BOTTLE:
http://romwell.com/health/img/essiac.jpg

PRICE appears to be around $35 for either the bottle or the dry herbal mix box. But the bottle is only 10. 5 oz! Availability is good on the Net in USA, and may even be stocked in a local health food store. According to several sites, there was/is a conflict between "recipes" from Rene Casse, RN, and only the ESSIAC name has kept true, but not the FLOR-ESSENCE brand

http://comboweb.com/essiac/james.htm

So I've given you only the ESSIAC TEA pictures and prices. DOSAGE: 2-4 oz dose, twice daily.
So, using the high dose and making it at home, that $35 dry mix will last 9 days, or $4/day.

Remember to note that sorrel link there about the possibility that your dad could temporarily get massive tumor poisons in his system after several days of Essiac, a healing crisis, and that means to stop for a few days till the kidneys and liver catch up! Just please pick something else quickly out of that cancer site list if you don't think much of this!
