Cancer is an immune system disease. My immune system could not kill the cancer cells which ganged together and formed a tumour. I was losing the battle. My dx was stage lV with mets on the bones. I was given, on an average, two and a half years to live. I was dx in October of '97. I am now NED. and I have been since April '98. When the tumour was removed I started taking Tamoxifen (I'm post menopausal) plus a whole regimen of supplements and vitamins and of course changed my diet. I'm following Dr. D'Adamo's diet for (blood) type "A". I think that if you give your immune system a chance it will get rid of the "rest" of the cancer in your body. I strongly believe that this is the way it happened for me....with the help of everything else of course. Essiac. I take FlorEssence which has the same four basic herbs plus four more. It's less expensive than Essiac and it seems to work for me. I believe that it's partly responsible for my being NED and my general well being. In the States I believe it sells for about $26.00. The package has 3 envelopes and you drink 4 ounces a day. Two in the morning between meals and 2 at night. Each envelope is made with 40 onces of water. After boiling there is about 32 ounces left. It lasts about a week. I make two envelopes at the time. This is what I take now(7/00). I switch products from time to time. I am followed by a naturopath. Tamoxifen 20 mg/day Clodronate - 1600 mg Whey Proteins Isolate - 10 g (taken in organic yogourt) Vitamin E - 400 IU Ester- C - 500 mg Colon Care - 2/day (fiber, calcium, magnesium, potassium & selenium) Electro-Vita-Min - 2/day (vitamins, minerals & enzymes) CoQ10 - 60 mg 1/day Flaxseed oil 1000 mg Flaxseed grinded (in my salad - 5/week) Milk Thistle - Green tea BrocoZym (Broccoli Sprouts) Garlic Beyond Grape Seed Helix Plus Astragalus or Echinacea and Dophilus Plus when fighting any kind of infection.
