Medical Forum / General / Alternative / April 2008Testicular cancer
I wish you comfort and peace. I am interested in knowing about herbs, minerals, yogic, psychic aids to fighting testicular cancer. I am interested in all those ways, by which, one can stop and/or cure testicular cancer without compromising one's and/or anyone else's comfort and peace. I appreciate your reading this. Please do not hesitate to reply directly to me at my email address. It's being "fueled" by arachidonic acid metabolites and possibly other toxic molecules derived from dietary sources (such as the HCAs generated from cooking meat with PUFA-rich oils). It's easy to deal with in terms of prevention, but once you "cross the bridge" there's no way to know exactly what to do, and in what order to do it. I know what I'd do, but then I'm not likely to have that problem in the first place, so it's a scientifically unreasonable hypothetical.

I am assuming that since female hormones are used to treat testicular cancer, hence, taking foods and/or herbs rich in those hormones along with the medication may be likely to further enhance the treatment and/ or cure. I invite: ideas, suggestions, questions, comments etc. On Apr 11, 6:50 am, usen...@gmail.com wrote: > On Apr 10, 4:37 pm, monty1...@lycos.com wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > with the medication may be likely to further enhance the treatment and/ > or cure. I invite: ideas, suggestions, questions, comments etc. Only if the cancer is androgen-driven. Generally, female hormones like estrogen fuel cancerous growth and dedifferentiation if not opposed by progesterone. If the cancer has not spread yet by metastasis you may get rid of it just by changing the lifestyle and nutrition (e.g. as described in the book "Lights Out"). Avoiding Omega-6 PUFAs will also reduce PGE2 which helps cancers to evade the host immune system via TREGs. If you got metastatic cancer the war starts with cutting off its food supply which is sugar/carbohydrates. Then you may "feed" it high doses of intravenous vitamin C which is basically a sugar and cap it with some Omega-3 fatty acids to trigger apoptosis (remember, if you want to kill something give it what it wants in EXCESS...). Cancer cells compete with the stem cells in the body so any cancer treatment will also affect your stem cells. But the cancer cells carry chaotic mutations (which are not selected by millions of years of evolution) which make them less likely to survive starvation and chemotherapy treatments. The most gentle chemotherapy is that with the natural "antioxidants" which is also least damaging to the non-cancerous stem cells.

Buss JL, Torti FM, Torti SV Drug Discovery Chemistry, Actelion Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Gewerbestrasse 16, CH-4123 Allschwil / BL, Switzerland. christoph.b...@actelion.com and christoph.bink...@actelion.com [Medline record in process] This review focuses on advances and strategies in the use of iron chelators as anti-tumor therapies. Although the development of iron chelators for human disease has focused primarily on their use in the treatment of secondary iron overload, chelators may also be useful anti-tumor agents. They can deplete iron or cause oxidative stress in the tumor due to redox perturbations in its environment. Iron chelators have been tested for their anti-tumor activity in cell culture experiments, animal models and human clinical trials. Largely for pragmatic reasons, clinical studies of the anti-tumor activity of iron chelators have generally focused on desferrioxamine (DFO), a drug approved for the treatment of iron overload. These studies have shown that DFO can retard tumor growth in many different experimental contexts. However, the activity of DFO is modest, and advances in the use of chelators as anti-cancer agents will require the development of new chelators based on new paradigms. Examples of iron chelators that have shown promising anti-tumor activity (in various stages of development) include heterocyclic carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazones, analogs of pyridoxal isonicotinoyl hydrazone, tachpyridine, O-trensox, desferrithiocin, and other natural and synthetic chelators. Apart from their use as single agents, chelators may also synergize with other anti-cancer therapies. The development of chelators as anticancer agents is largely an unexplored field, but one with extraordinary potential to impact human cancer. PMID: 12678674, UI: 22565600 Who loves ya.

Here is a very good article on the subject: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/testicular-cancer/DS00046 and a lesser one from Dr Weil: http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/id/QAA400182 Remember Lance Armstrong? He cured himself of this cancer, so cheer up and be determined to conquer it. Mind over matter! Do a search using [ "Lance Armstrong" +cancer ] without the [ ] brackets and you'll get a wealth of hits and his story. Good luck and good health to you.

But he *chose* to have all that done, just as the saner among us have chosen to follow the recommendations of qualified professionals. So, in a roundabout, awkward way, you can very well say Armstrong *did* cure himself. I don't think anyone's taking this thread too seriously, anyway. Cancer wants sugar, so starve it of sugar, but vitamin C is basically sugar, so take a lot of vitamin C intravenously, because you should always give the target lots of what it wants, since that will kill it, and don't forget to use your supernatural powers to fight the cancer as well; after all, Jesus was a vegetarian, and you never hear *him* complaining about testicular cancer. All we're missing here is some poor schmuck who's been systematically attacked by the House of Lords conspiring with his doctor. And maybe an onion or two. I encourage *real* testicular cancer patients to take a page from Armstrong's book. Listen to the professionals' advice, not some fith loonies', and expect to have some bad experiences before your likely cure. --- CSM > "David Wright" <wright@l1000.prodigy.net> wrote in message > >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > ANd radiotherapy to his brain........... Apparently not. < http://www.cancer.org/docroot/CRI/content/CRI_2_4_4x_The_Lance_Armstrong_Story.a sp?rnav=cri "He also had surgery to remove 2 brain metastases (no radiation was given because of the concern that it also would affect his balance or coordination)." J One has to decide what the goal is, to avoid or "cure" cancer. If cancer incidence could be lowered to next to nothing (for those under age 100 at least), then there's really no reason to talk about curing cancer. It's like talking about how to avoid being struck by lightning - not much to talk about - better off moving on to more important things. > One has to decide what the goal is, to avoid or "cure" cancer.

As the lifetime risk of invasive cancer is 1 in 3, and as cancer is generally a disease of old age, and as the average life expectancy is going up, I think the chances of cancer incidence being lowered to next to nothing is zero > One has to decide what the goal is, to avoid or "cure" cancer.

One 3 week cycle of BEP here in Austin...outpatient...then I went to MD Anderson and then to Indiana University...I had the brain operation there the Thursday prior to my next chemo cycle and then started that the following Monday with 3 more cycles of VIP. The last VIP (chemos) were inpatient...cycles 3 and 4 I was sick as a dog, but I didn't lose any weight. Tell me about the brain operation... They (IU) do a pretty good job of making you comfortable....the lesions are small, they're easy to get to, and I thought well, that's great, it could be worse, they could be big and inoperable. They were saying this was a relatively "minor" brain operation and they do this every day, I'm not gonna have a lot of pain, your risks aren't too great...but then as time got closer and closer to the operation I'm saying "You guys said this is pretty minor, right?" and they started saying "Weeelll, there's really no such thing as a minor brain operation" I was like "Well, wait a minute! You said it was minor!", but they were wonderful (the staff at IU). Can you describe the actual operation? What'd they do, take a piece out? They pull it off, they cut a hole, see? (Lance bowed his head to show 2 circular scars, 1 at the top, the other in the center/back of his head, both approximately the size of silver dollars.) They pull the bone off much like you would the top off a pumpkin, then they pull back the protective layer and the tumor's there...they locate it through "frameless stereo-tactics", they put these nodes all over my forehead then they have a wand and touch each electrode that will produce an image of your brain on this video screen, and then they know exactly where it is...that takes the longest time, trying to locate it. Then they drill these things into your head to steady it...you're unconscious the whole time, about 5 or 6 hours--it was not fun, |
