TaeKwonDood tips us to news that a new cancer resistance treatment is going into clinical trials after being quite successful at eradicating cancer in mice. Researchers discovered that certain white blood cells called granulocytes from cancer-immune mice were able to cure cancer in other mice. Now, doctors are putting out the call for healthy granulocyte donors in order to test how well it works on humans. The article quotes lead researcher Zheng Cui saying, "In mice, we've been able to eradicate even highly aggressive forms of malignancy with extremely large tumors. Hopefully, we will see the same results in humans. Our laboratory studies indicate that this cancer-fighting ability is even stronger in healthy humans."

chemo is taking away my pubes!

it's not as bad as with the hair but yeah when I wash down there, more hairs than usually come up. it's weird because I think my beard is still growing.

Have you been touching your face after you wash your pubes.

That might explain it.

anyways doktormatini please answer the following questions which occured to me last night.

1. Earlier in this topic, valerian root was suggested as a sleep aid. My doctor immediately said not to take it. Which of the following was your understanding of the situation?

A. The doctor doesn't know about alternative medicine and is a bad doctor.  I don't think he is a bad doctor.

B. Chemotherapy is the act of poisoning the human body. BEC, or the type of treatment for my cancer, is relatively new having been found in the late eighties, early nineties. Thanks to the Lance Armstrong cause celebre, it's one of the more well researched chemotherapies. The C in BEC stands for cisplatin, which includes large levels of platinum. While BEC is better known, effects from unregulated substances the patient hasn't been taking might be risky, considering you are filling them with platinum and other chemicals. As a result, it's better for the patient to take something like Benadryl, researched as being safe with chemo, for a sleeping aid then something that might adversely react with his new blood stream.

4. In addition, no naturopath has ever cured cancer. Ever. You have found several highly suspect studies of potential tumor reduction from eating algae. You have not, and will not barring a real scientist in the coming months potentially extracting something from an algae, find a single scientific study proving any of these curing cancer. TREG suggested a clinic that at worst, will give me the same odds of curing, 50%. You conversely suggested I seek an alternative course of action proven to have a 0% cure rate and a 100% death rate.

In further addition, numerous naturopaths have killed patients by convincing them to delay actual treatment and their cancers going from benign to malignant as a result. This means the naturopathy side has a negative cure rate when it comes to cancer; every person who chooses naturopathy over a doctor will DIE because naturopathy has never cured cancer. In order to illustrate this, it would be the same as if every oncologist in the world not only never ever could cure cancer, but a large number of which would make their patient worse. Why on earth would you suggest I kill myself?

if you do not answer these questions to my admittedly arbitrary satisfaction, I'm going to report every post you make in this topic next because while I'm not sure it's against the rules, I think we can rule of thumb stretch the fact that you suggested a course of action that will kill me and have refused to back it up since into "attempted murder of a gw member" which is hopefully a warnable offense???

earlier in this topic I ripped into Mog for being insensitive and suggesting I need to be a "better person" after this. compared to his comment, yours is infinitely worse. you don't seem to realize that you seriously suggested I seek a second opinion that would kill me if I took it, and continue to claim it wasn't at best maliciously fucking stupid and at worst straight up evil to do so. so answer the questions above (mostly because I've got a week off chemo and you're a funny motherfucker when you babble incoherently about shit you don't know) or don't post again.

However, available scientific evidence does not support claims that astragalus can prevent cancer, cure cancer, or reduce side effects of mainstream cancer treatment in humans. There is some suggestion that it may enhance the effects of certain chemotherapy (cancer treatment) drugs, but more testing is needed.

Conclusions. Our data demonstrate that Ukrain improves quality of life in patients suffering from advanced pancreatic cancer and significantly prolongs survival time in these patients.

i'll give him credit

this time he actually cited some reputable sources. (webmd, cancer.org).

But Dok, an ND is stupid, and there is a big reason why a lot of alternative medicines are laughed at: most of them simply do not do jack shit or hurt you.. If anything, he should get another MD just in case to get a second opinion from someone who actually knows something.

do you even read your sources?

I don't know velfarre I really didn't read the site I posted the link without reading it that is my fault.  I don't know how good of a site it is (it looks kinda dumb).

I don't care.  I'm sorry for being concerned and suggesting something that may be of help.  I'M SORRY FOR CARING.  I did not suggest to stop going to your doctor and see a naturopath fuck doctors they suck no.  I said why not try seeing a naturopath ALONG with your other doctor just to see what the ND says?  I know of plenty of people who have a regular doctor and also visit a Naturopath.  It's true, naturpathy doesn't have all the answers, regular doctors don't either.  That is why it is good to get both, if one can't do something maybe the other can??

It wouldn't KILL YOU.
