Hello, I am desperately seeking natural remedies for ascites. My mother has terminal cancer due to endometrial cancer and the ascites comes back every 2 weeks where we are draining 6-9 litres.

Although it is known as ascites - it is basically water that accumulates in the stomach. The doctors say that the cancer cells produce this fluid as lactic acid. Alot of people with Liver failure have this problem. My mom has terminal cancer so I do not know if it is liver failure or the cancer cells producing this waste fluid that collects in stomach.

There are over 150 causes of ascites, so it is hard to know what is causing this ascites. The fluid in the stomach needs to be drained. I do not know if diuretics would work with this but I hope someone out there knowledgeable in ascites would be able to help. I have emailed Ted as he seems very educated about cancer.

Please can anyone let me know of any good cures.

Hi, a quick update. I have started my mom on the serrapeptase twice a day. I have researched and found that it also helps with many other problems such as clogged arteries. I got the serrapeptase from http://serrapeptase.co.uk/ and my mother seems to be doing ok but will update to see the time lag between drainings and any improvements

Not sure which brand works best but "When consumed in unprotected tablets or capsules, the enzyme is destroyed by acid in the stomach. However, enterically-coated tablets enable the enzyme to pass through the stomach unchanged, and be absorbed in the intestine."

So I would make sure any supplement you take has an enteric coating to be of any benefit.

Would like to hear more from Lotusland in Vancouver and Shana in the UK as to how the ascites is responding to Serrapeptase. My dad has ascites due to liver cirrhosis and gets up to 11 litres drained every 2 weeks or so. I also wonder, since the Serrapeptide disolves dead tissue if it would do the same to scar tissue on the liver which causes the ascites in cases with cirrhosis.

Thanks

I would Like to hear from shana and Desiree... Any progress with use of serraP... It's important for me as my father is suffering from ascites due to liver metastasis where the cancer is also at the peritoneal lining. Your feedbacks can help.
