Sensitive to Chemotherapy? Great for Cancer Patients... Read on...

“The second biggest killer in America is medical ignorance and it is the number one reason people die”

-- Bill Faloon, Co-Founder of Life Extension Foundation

 

According to conventional medicine the purpose of chemo is to kill cancer cells, but that it also kills healthy cells along the way. When I was diagnosed with cervical cancer and given the prognosis of 3-6 months I was told by my conventional doctor that my only option was to have surgery followed by chemotherapy and/or radiation. Now at the time I was not given any other options from my doctors. Not even the kind of chemotherapy that was available. They were going to just give me the “standard of care”. To be very honest, I did not know there were different kinds of chemotherapy until recently when I was reading Knockout Interviews with Doctors Who Are Curing Cancer (and how to prevent getting it in the first place), by Suzanne Somers (I LOVE this Woman!)

 So there are, as far as I have come to understand, various kinds of conventional chemotherapy drugs – Adriamycin, Cytoxan, and Taxotere are the most popular. Adriamycin, which is the most popular, is proven to be  ineffective in up to 92% of women it was administered to – this is according to a study done at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and now confirmed in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

 Well, I hope this quick note gives you a bit of information to follow through on whether you are facing this challenge yourself or if someone you love is facing this challenge. There is what is called Chemosensitivity Test. It is a test that can help to determine if the chemotherapy that is suggested by your doctor (if a particular one is suggested at all) is the best conventional therapy to treat the cancer. In Germany and Greece, chemosensitivity tests are routinely conducted in order to determine which type of chemo should be utilized for a specific cancer patient.

Chemosensitivity test is just a matter of harvesting the cancer cells out of the patient’s blood. The cells are broken down genetically in a lab to discover which markers are compatible with treatment of the tumor. This test can tell which drugs would be most effective for the particular cancer and which would be ineffective or even harmful.

 Dr. James Forsythe a board certified oncologist and homeopath documented the impact of chemosensitivity testing by sharing one of his patient’s stories:

  “I had a patient from Sacramento who six months ago had been on a heavy-duty chemo protocol called FOL-FOX (containing oxaliplatin, 5FU, and Avastin). We found out from the German chemosensitivity test that two out of the three of those drugs were completely ineffective against his cancer cells. I switched him over to a sensitive drug and he’s now out playing golf three days a week and his liver has cleared up completely on recent follow-up scans”

There is always a choice, but as long as we make it a choice to remain ignorant and continue to give our power away without consideration we will forever remain the victims of our own creation.

YOU HAVE 18 MONTHS REMAINING HERE ON EARTH:

What are you going to do with your time?

Who would you want to be with?

Where would you want to be?

If you could do your life all over again would you do it the same way?

Are you satisfied with the legacy you are leaving behind?

Are you currently spending time with the person / people that you want to be with?

Is there anyone you would need to apologize to?

Is there anyone / anything you need to release?

Just something to ponder…

EVERYTHING I NEEDED TO KNOW ABOUT CLEANSING MY GRANDMOTHER AND AUNT STU HAD IN THEIR CUPBOARD – CREAM OF TARTAR

My grandmother would use cream of tartar in her yummy specialty chocolate cakes she would bake for us and then she would give it to us to cleanse our bowels, clean the kitchen and wash clothes. Crazy! Cream of tartar or Potassium hydrogen tartrate, has been used in everyday cooking for hundreds of years. Cream of tartar is also a by-product of the wine fermenting process (I know this because my family use to make wine – no not moonshine!). But homeopathic medicine recognizes cream of tartar for a number of health uses as well, some of which pre-date grandmothers chocolate cake:

Urinary Tract Infections

Before and even better than antibiotics, cream of tartar was a popular method to eliminate painful urinary tract infections. The cream of tartar changes your body’s pH level and helps kill the internal bacteria. Grandmother would mix a couple of teaspoons into a half-cup of warm water and just for me, she would pour it into a lead crystal wine glass and have me to drink, one to two times a day. Grandmother would also add a splash of lime juice, to give my body a nice vitamin C boost to stave off the infection.

Nicotine Detox

My great uncle use to smoke like a chimney. He kept a cigarette dangling from his lips, a cigarette behind his left ear and a pack in his shirt pocket. Uncle Jet was notorious for picking up half smoked cigs here and there and just light them up and start smoking.

Smoking is a powerful addiction, and each year people use thousands of methods, from prescription drugs to hypnotherapy, to help them quit. While weaning the body off of nicotine through the use of patches and gum has become increasingly popular, a number of home remedies favor immediate cessation and then a cleansing of the body. Grandmother to the rescue with her concoction of a teaspoon of cream of tartar into a glass of orange juice once a day. The orange juice helps the body fight the withdrawal, while the cream of tartar starts the nicotine detoxification process.

Heartburn

Heartburn, is just another effect of a poor digestive system typically associated with bowel disorders or constipation / IBS / etc. Heartburn is also associated with stress and spicy foods and can be very painful. I remember how Aunt Stu use to grab her pearl necklace and pound on her chest to try to ease the pain. Aunt Stu was such a drama queen. She often grabbed her pearls just for effect.

Aunt Stu was never one to subscribe to doctors orders and she was not about to give up her jalapeño peppers, which she ate like ice cubes. Whenever an attack occurred she would go to the cupboard and immediately mix a half teaspoon of cream of tartar with a half teaspoon of baking soda, and blend into in a warm or lukewarm cup of water. In just minutes she was relieved and her pearls dangled loosely.
