I am all for natural therapies, as long as they don't interfer with the conventional chemo treatments. The one thing that I can add with respect to the organic fruits and vegetables is this: Make sure that you wash the produce well before serving it to your little guy. You should also exercise caution when the nadir portion of the chemo treatment occurs. His immune system will be weakened at this point. It typically occurs 14-21 days after chemo treatments (but this varies depending on the type of Chemo, the dosage, and the schedule). Your doctor will have more information on it.

Really don't want to turn this thread into some kind of debate, but this is just the opinion of someone who puts a lot of faith in medical treatments. ...Obviously, if you stay away from chemo, radiation and the other immune destroying procedures, you don't have to worry about secondary infections from raw fruit, as the immune system will be strengthened not weakened by almost all natural healing methods....Given that garlic is probably the most powerful anti-infection substance found on the planet, this is pretty dumb, but par for the course when dealing with the med community.

I ask...would you deny your child chemo, and feed him/her garlic instead, against the recommendation of your doctors?

"My studies have proved conclusively that untreated cancer victims live up to four times longer than treated individuals. If one has cancer and opts to do nothing at all, he will live longer and feel better than if he undergoes radiation, chemotherapy or surgery, other than when used in immediate life-threatening situations."---Prof Jones. (1956 Transactions of the N.Y. Academy of Medical Sciences, vol 6. There is a fifty page article by Hardin Jones of National Cancer Institute of Bethesda, Maryland. He surveyed global cancer of all types and compared the untreated and the treated, to conclude that the untreated outlives the treated, both in terms of quality and in terms of quantity.
"….chemotherapy’s success record is dismal. It can achieve remissions in about 7% of all human cancers; for an additional 15% of cases, survival can be "prolonged" beyond the point at which death would be expected without treatment. This type of survival is not the same as a cure or even restored quality of life."
"Keep in mind that the 5 year mark is still used as the official guideline for "cure" by mainstream oncologists. Statistically, the 5 year cure makes chemotherapy look good for certain kinds of cancer, but when you follow cancer patients beyond 5 years, the reality often shifts in a dramatic way."—John Diamond, M.D.

Yes of course, that's a no brainer. And I'd do it out of MASSIVE amounts of personal research together with personal experimentation on my own body over a couple of decades.

My goodness, why do people get so heated when you suggest questioning established medical practice and taking a good look at highly successful, proven, long established, harmless, healthful alternatives?
...but I have no intention to get into a 'healing story pissing contest'.

Hello my friend!
Cancer is spreading all aorund due to our western lifestyle
Mc Donalds, french fries, hamburgers, Cells phones, canned food,
Coke, chemicals, Genetically modified food etc etc pollution etc.
Then it seems that all cancers are caused by some types of fungus, viruses and worms like the bloody fasciola... argh! all due to our lifestyle
and the food we eat that creates an acid enviroment in our bodies
that is the perfect enviroment for these fellows to dwell...
( note that some parts of the human body must be acid, like the stomach
it´s not that all partts must be alkaline, in fact if everything gets alkaline we die )
First of all there are this links everyone should read about cancer:
www.cancertutor.com...
Lots of information about alternative cures and speccialy how the FDA and BIG Farma don´t want the cure for cancer, although they know
there are various cures for it already. a must read for everyone here.
also I corroborate the MMS for anyone , not just cancer but many diseases
www.miraclemineral.org...
If you want the book I can send you complete in PDF
just email me: [email protected]
So good luck ! and don´t loose your faith.

Howdy,
Sorry about being late to the thread and all.
First off, let me express how sorry I am for you and your family. Now thats out of the way, lets talk about what you can do about it:
I gather you are in Denver. i would highly reccomend that you see the specialist in Oncology at
www.thechildrenshospital.org...
I know them by reputation only but based on that its a good one. You will want an PEDIATRIC oncologist, not an adult one. As well meaning as they may be you want a specialist. (If they are not an option, Primary Childrens Hospital in Utah is also quite good)
Right now the best survival rates are those treated with surgery, chemo, and radiation. As long as the tumor is not too big these offer an 80% 5 year survival rate. (5 years of cancer free is considered beating it and any other cancer that shows up after is considered a "new" one)
You decide whats best for your little one not anybody else!
There are tons of resoruces avalible for you to look at online.
If you have any specific question you can feel free to u2u me and Ill do my best to translate the medspeak for you.
I read an earlier reply that attitude is everything and I think that that is spot on IMHO. Kids pick up thier parents emotions and feeling even at a young age. You need to keep that positive attitude as much as possible.

I take offence at this kind of posting, because it is all well and good for Roger here to slag the medical establishment because of something he read somewhere. Amniodarone has the sound of a medical professional, and what he is saying is reasonable...go for the alternate therapies as long as they don't mess with the medicine.
He also says that this condition is treatable if caught early. Sure, consult your doctor, do your research, and go for the best available option.
But Roger comes out and puts doubt in the minds of the parent? It's their child whose life you are betting. I keep asking...tell me how alternate therapies cured your cancer. I ask...would you deny your child chemo, and feed him/her garlic instead, against the recommendation of your doctors?
I got cured of cancer by radiation therapy. Punkt. I'm really, really freakin' glad I got radiation therapy, cuz my cancer is gone. Gone!
So, while you can decide to munch on a garlic and habanero snack, and wash it down with a bicarb mixed with Vit.C or whatever, and hope like hell it works, I wouldn't recommend it for a stranger's child unless you are prepared to assume responsibility for the results.
