  1. Better to see a doctor. Soon. One doesn't get a lot of time to make a decision here, and the sooner conventional treatment starts, the better chance of a remission.


  2. wht do u mean i cant get u yarr

  3. Leukemia is not a single disease, there are several subtypes.  The treatment depends on what subtype you have. Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) for example, can be indolent for years before it causes any problems.  Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML) can be very aggresive and rapidly fatal without appropriate intervention.

    You need to see a hematologist or an oncologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

    Naturopathic treatments have never been shown to have any effect in the treatment of any types of cancer, ever.

    There is no specific diet for the treatment of leukemias.

  4. is there a naturopath in your area? I would make an appointment and go talk to one. I am not against conventional medicine- I take  plenty, But,   please read the following article  

      AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY

    (TRY THE KEY WORD) AND ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHN HOPKINS IS FINALLY  STARTING

    TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY  \

            Cancer Update from John Hopkins:

            

            1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do

    not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few

    billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer

    cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to

    detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size. \

              2 Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's

    lifetime.

               3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will

    be destroyed and prevented from multiplying  and forming tumors.

             4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple

    nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to  genetic, environmental,

    food and lifestyle factors.

              5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet

    and including supplements will strengthen the  immune system.

             6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells

    and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow,

    gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver,

    kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

               7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

             8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do

    not result in more tumor destruction.

              9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and

    radiation the immune system is either compromised  or destroyed, hence the

    person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.

             10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and

    become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer

    cells to spread to other sites.

             11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells

    by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.

            

            CANCER CELLS FEED ON:

            

             a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder.

            

            By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the

    cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like Nutrasweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are

    made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be

    Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a

    chemical added to make it white in colour. Better alternative is Bragg's

    aminos or sea salt.

            

            b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the

    gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus.

            

            By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soya milk

    cancer cells are being starved.

            

            c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment.

            

            A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little

    chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics,

    growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people

    with cancer.

            

            d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains,

    seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the  body into an alkaline

    environment .

            

            About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable

    juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed  and reach down to

    cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy

    cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh

    vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts)

            and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are

    destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).

            

            e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine.

            

            Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting

    properties. Water- best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known

    toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid  it.

            

            12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and

            

            requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat  remaining in

    the intestines become putrified and leads to more toxic build-up.

            

            13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining

    from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls

    of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer

    cells.

            

            14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Floressence,

    Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body's

    own killer cells to destroy cancer cells.

            Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or

    programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing  of damaged,

    unwanted, or unneeded cells.

            

            15. Cancer is a disease of the mind,  body, and spirit. A proactive

    and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor.

            

            Anger, un-forgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful

    and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and  forgiving spirit. Learn

    to relax and enjoy life.

            

             16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment.

    Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the

    cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer

    cells.

            1. No plastic containers in microwave.

            

            2. No water bottles in freezer.

            

            3. No plastic wrap in microwave.

            

            Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This

    information is being circulated at  Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well.

    Dioxin chemicals causes cancer, especially breast cancer.      Dioxins are

    highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies.

            

            Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this

    releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto,  Wellness

    Program Manager at Castle Hospital was on a TV program to explain this

    health hazard .

            

            He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we

    should not be heating our food in  the microwave using plastic containers.

    This especially applies to foods that contain fat.

            

            He said that the  combination of fat, high heat, and plastics

    releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body.

            

            Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or

    ceramic containers for heating food.   You get the same results, only

    without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups,

    etc.,  should be removed from the container and heated in something else.

    Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is  in the paper. It's just safer to

    use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some

    of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper.

    The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.

            

            Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as

    dangerous when placed over foods to be  cooked in the microwave. As the food

    is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the

    plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.
