Nutrition after Bone Marrow Transplant

Good nutrition is a very important part of your recovery. It helps your body resist infection and repair tissue damage caused by chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy.

Losing interest in food after a long illness is to be expected. Some of the side effects you might have experienced while in the hospital may continue even after you go home. These side effects may include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, taste changes, and a sore or dry mouth. With these symptoms, it may be difficult for you to imagine eating high-calorie, nutrient-rich meals.

food for thoughts........

how to eat an apple.............(from Kelley Eidem)
I start eating at the bottom. You might want
to start doing that, too.

I do it that way because you can eat the entire
apple except for the stem.

The seeds of an apple are slightly bitter. But if
you start at the bottom, you won't even notice.

And in the end you don't have a messy apple
core to deal with!

The seeds contain amygdalin.

Don't worry about any cyanide in the
seeds. Folks will try to scare you away from
eating apple seeds, apricot seeds, etc, because
they all have cyanide in them.

But the cyanide ("C") is bound to benzaldehyde ("B")
in the seeds. "B" is yet another 'poison' joined
to the poisonous "C" just like the two poisons
that make up table salt.

That's right, sodium and chloride are both toxic
to humans as separate elements. But together
they are ESSENTIAL to good health. Without salt
we die.

Anyway, back to the "C" and the "B"...cancer cells
have an abundance of an enzyme that unlocks
the C from the B.

Unlocking the C helps to kills cancer cells. Meanwhile,
the B turns into benzoic acid which is a natural pain
reliever. Pain relievers can be a nice addition when
a person has cancer.

Non cancerous cells have a large amount of enzymes
that neutralize the C&B, so the C&B combination does
no harm.

PS. Make sure your apples are organic! Chemically
grown apples are smothered in pesticides. You can wash
them all day long with a special cleanser but that won't
get rid of the pesticides inside the apples.

Eating a nonorganic apples adds to our pesticide load
inside our body. Adding to your pesticide load can
cause cancer.

I don't care if the organic apples cost $5 a pound. Cancer
costs $300,000 to treat. That could be 100,000 organic
apples. ;-)

I'm only kidding about paying $300,000 for cancer
treatments. You only do that if you want to suffer more
and die sooner.

It turns out that the old folk wisdom is correct: "An apple
a day keeps the doctor away."

But only if you start at the bottom. :-)

Cabbage compound protects healthy tissue from radiation damage

A team of US researchers has discovered that an anti-cancer compound present in cruciferous vegetables, such as cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli, also protects rodents from lethal doses of radiation.

The compound, called 3,3'-diindolylmethane, and known more simply as "DIM," is already shown to be safe in humans, and so the researchers expect it could serve as a shield to protect healthy tissue in human cancer patients from damage by radiation therapy, or lessen its side effects.

The team, from Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC) in Washington, DC, reports its findings in the latest online issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

One of the researchers, Eliot Rosen, a professor of oncology, biochemistry and cell and molecular biology, and radiation medicine at Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, a part of GUMC, says:

"DIM has been studied as a cancer prevention agent for years, but this is the first indication that DIM can also act as a radiation protector."

For their study, the team exposed rats to lethal doses of gamma rays and then gave some of them a daily injection of DIM for 2 weeks, while leaving the others untreated.

Prof. Rosen, who describes the results as "stunning," says:

"All of the untreated rats died, but well over half of the DIM-treated animals remained alive 30 days after the radiation exposure."

Protection from treatment's side effects

The team also tested the treatment on mice, with the same results. In addition, they found the treated mice showed less loss of red blood cells, white blood cells and blood platelets, which are typical side effects in cancer patients who have radiation therapy.

The findings suggest DIM could have two uses: it could protect healthy tissue in cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy, and it could also offer protection in the event of a nuclear disaster.

When they treated the rats, the team found it did not matter whether they started the treatment 24 hours before, or 24 hours after radiation exposure, DIM's protective effect was the same.

Georgetown University has filed a patent for using DIM and DIM-related compounds as protection against radiation.

Grants from the US Public Health Service, the Center for Drug Discovery at Georgetown University, and other Georgetown funding helped finance the study.

In 2006, Prof. Rosen and his team published a study where they showed another compound also found in cruciferous vegetables, called I3C, improves DNA repair in cells, which in turn helps stop them becoming cancerous.

Milk thistle

Several scientific studies suggest that substances in milk thistle (especially a flavonoid called silymarin) protect the liver from toxins, including certain drugs such as acetaminophen (Tylenol), which can cause liver damage in high doses. Silymarin has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory Properties, and it may help the liver repair itself by growing new cells.
Cancer
Early laboratory studies also suggest that silymarin and other active substances in milk thistle may have anticancer effects. These substances appear to stop cancer cells from dividing and reproducing, shorten their lifespan, and reduce blood supply to tumors. Some studies suggest silymarin may favorably supplement sunscreen protection and may help reduce the risk of skin cancer. More studies are needed, however, to show whether milk thistle has any effects in the body (not just in test tubes).

Abstract

The external pH of solid tumors is acidic as a consequence of increased metabolism of glucose and poor perfusion. Acid pH has been shown to stimulate tumor cell invasion and metastasis in vitro and in cells before tail vein injection in vivo. The present study investigates whether inhibition of this tumor acidity will reduce the incidence of in vivo metastases. Here, we show that oral NaHCO(3) selectively increased the pH of tumors and reduced the formation of spontaneous metastases in mouse models of metastatic breast cancer. This treatment regimen was shown to significantly increase the extracellular pH, but not the intracellular pH, of tumors by (31)P magnetic resonance spectroscopy and the export of acid from growing tumors by fluorescence microscopy of tumors grown in window chambers. NaHCO(3) therapy also reduced the rate of lymph node involvement, yet did not affect the levels of circulating tumor cells, suggesting that reduced organ metastases were not due to increased intravasation. In contrast, NaHCO(3) therapy significantly reduced the formation of hepatic metastases following intrasplenic injection, suggesting that it did inhibit extravasation and colonization. In tail vein injections of alternative cancer models, bicarbonate had mixed results, inhibiting the formation of metastases from PC3M prostate cancer cells, but not those of B16 melanoma. Although the mechanism of this therapy is not known with certainty, low pH was shown to increase the release of active cathepsin B, an important matrix remodeling protease.

Dr Simoncini -
he is discussed controversial, because of his claim, that cancer is a fungus (or a reaction to fungus), and he treats cancer with sodium bicarbonate (natron) to elevate the ph-level and to make the tissue more alcaline

Can stage 4 cancer really be easy to cure?

Here's a real brief recipe list here.
(1) Grate one habanero pepper each day, putting it on bread. Yes, you use the seeds. (2) Grate two cloves of garlic each day, putting them on bread and covering with butter. (3) One tablespoon of Emulsified cod liver oil once or twice each day.* TwinLabs makes some wonderfully flavored cod liver oil.
The cod liver oil is not put on the sandwich. One serving of the oil may be taken before or after eating the sandwich with the same meal
I used the cod liver oil because I was not losing any weight or dealing with fluid retention. If I had either of those conditions, I would have used evening primrose oil or borage oil instead of the emulsified cod liver oil, taking 6,000 mgs a day in divided doses.*
(4) Smother the grated garlic and habaneros peppers with real butter and eat it. Organic or raw butter is best. No margarines of any type, including Smart Balance, etc.
If hot peppers didn't agree with me, then ginger is what I would use - and yes I trust the ginger just as much as the habanero to do the job.
That's it!

Cannabis For Infant's Brain Tumor, Doctor Calls Child "A Miracle Baby"

Medical marijuana is gaining acceptance, but could it even help kids? Dr. William Courtney has seen it happen, and on Friday, told HuffPost Live host Alyona Minkovski about it. Saying he was "quite a skeptic 5 or 6 years ago", Dr. Courtney continued that "my youngest patient is 8 months old, and had a very massive centrally located inoperable brain tumor." The child's father pushed for non-traditional treatment utilizing cannabis.
"They were putting cannabinoid oil on the baby's pacifier twice a day, increasing the dose... And within two months there was a dramatic reduction, enough that the pediatric oncologist allowed them to go ahead with not pursuing traditional therapy."

LIME BICARBONATE FORMULA

This simple formula will normalize many biological parameters, pH, ORP, phosphates, bicarbonates and antioxidants of vitamin C. It's potential miracle water. One whole lemon freshly squeezed. Keep adding baking soda slowly bit by bit until the fizz stops. Then you will add water to one half glass. This is often taken twice a day. To be taken once in the morning and once before bedtime on an empty stomach. Lime can be substituted. Basically, this lemon/lime juice idea is also good for people who fear some sodium retention issues. Since the lemon is already high in potassium, adding the sodium to neutralize the acid along the way will also create a sodium potassium balance.

TED talk:

Mina Bissell quotation: “Don't be arrogant, because arrogance kills curiosity and passion.”

Mina Bissell's groundbreaking research has proven that cancer is not only caused by cancer cells. It is caused by an interaction between cancer cells and the surrounding cellular micro-environment. In healthy bodies, normal tissue homeostasis and architecture inhibit the progression of cancers. But changes in the microenvironment--following an injury or a wound for instance--can shift the balance. This explains why many people harbor potentially malignant tumors in their bodies without knowing it and never develop cancer, and why tumors often develop when tissue is damaged or when the immune system is suppressed.
The converse can also be true. In a landmark 1997 experiment, mutated mammary cells, when dosed with an antibody and placed into a normal cellular micro-environment, behaved normally. This powerful insight from Bissell's lab may lead to new ways of treating existing and preventing potential cancers.
