Six years ago, my grandfather had one of his kidneys removed due to a tumor, and since then, he’s been using Propolis and royal jelly in moderation without any issues at all.

I am truly overjoyed myself. 🙂 The doctors haven't brought up surgery yet; apparently, it isn't an option right now, not because of the size of the tumor, but because of its specific location. Still, this feels like a massive victory because Grandpa gets to enjoy such a high quality of life when he isn't stuck in the hospital for treatments.
I’ve been a bit quiet lately because life has just been pulling me in every direction at once. Angela, I am so incredibly sorry about your mother. I almost feel a sense of hesitation sharing my own good news knowing how much you're hurting right now. But I believe that alongside all the support we offer one another, it’s important to occasionally share a win, too—something to pour hope back into everyone else and remind us all that healing is possible.
Sending love to you all, you are true warriors 😘
Oh my goodness, that is wonderful news!
It had been a little while since I last heard from you, so I must admit I was bracing for the worst. Who knows—if the tumor settles enough, perhaps they might even be able to surgically remove it. God willing!

I’m reaching out to share this with Donna Fox48.
I’ve been quite concerned about my grandfather, who is dealing with inoperable lung cancer. Back in November 2006, his doctors were actually unsure if he could even handle chemotherapy, given his age, the complications from a secondary pneumonia he was fighting, and just his general frailty at the time.
Fast forward to today, and he is currently undergoing his sixth cycle of chemo. To be honest, his blood work looks better than mine! He has such a healthy, vibrant color in his face now. Since starting this treatment, he’s actually gained about 18 pounds, which is incredible because he used to be extremely thin. Physically, he’s quite active—he goes for walks covering several miles and can easily walk up to a fifth-floor walk-up without needing an elevator. Most importantly, the cancer has stabilized and is actually showing signs of regression.
To support his immune system alongside his main treatments, he has been taking:
- Propolis and royal jelly
- Ecomer capsules
- Green tea and ginseng capsules
- A homemade tonic made from fresh aloe, propolis, wine, and chicory
It really goes to show that hope is never truly lost. 🙂

Angela Wright,
You truly are such a selfless soul, always offering warmth and kind words to everyone here, and especially to your own mother and father. Please, never let yourself feel any guilt about wanting to start a family of your own or simply needing a little peace and quiet. I truly believe your boundless capacity for love will serve as a testament to God, and I hope He blesses you with children who will one day care for you with that very same devotion.
Wishing you the very best,
Carol Ramirez

Cisplatin combined with Pfizer (PE), at least for the time being.
Brittle, peeling nails: any tips?
in Health ·
I’ve dealt with this exact same struggle, and believe me, I have tried everything under the sun to fix it. Even now, I’m still searching for a permanent solution, but the results always seem so underwhelming. There was a period where the constant peeling made me act completely out of character—I started fidgeting with my nails constantly, which was quite unlike me since I’m generally a very calm, composed person.
The only thing that truly works is getting a professional manicure once a week, though honestly, between my schedule and my budget, that isn't always a realistic option.
If I could offer some advice, I would suggest picking up some Merz. It’s actually quite versatile because it works wonders for your nails, skin, and hair all at once. You can usually find a pack containing 60 tablets meant for a 30-day regimen. Once you finish that monthly course, you might want to switch over to just taking biotin supplements. I personally prefer the ones from Natural Wealth, and they should help restore your nail strength. It also doesn't hurt to massage a little cream into your cuticles before you head to bed. While Dikla is a solid choice, it tends to make me feel a bit nauseous, so I opt for the Aphrodite scented nail cream instead. It comes in a handy little 15ml bottle, but since you only need a tiny amount to rub into the nail, it lasts a surprisingly long time.

Michelle Cook83, you hit the nail on the head; the lack of differentiation made surgery off the table from the start. It’s particularly tricky when you're dealing with the bronchial tubes.
At the end of the day, though, my main focus is just how he's actually feeling, and honestly, he seems to be doing quite well. Regardless of what those prognosis reports say or seeing that Grade III right next to the diagnosis, I just want him to have a good quality of life.
I really appreciate everyone taking the time to clear things up for me. 😘

I’m looking for some help interpreting these latest test results again.
My grandfather just wrapped up his third round of chemotherapy, and this is where things stand right now:
Upon admission, he was conscious, oriented, afebrile, breathing normally at rest, with normal skin color, no palpable peripheral lymph nodes, and able to move around.
LUNGS: Normal breath sounds, though they were slightly quieter at the left base with some inspiratory crackles.
HEART: Upon admission, heart rate was rapid but rhythmic, heart sounds were clear, though there was a systolic murmur heard over the apex (?) BP: 160/110
Chest X-ray (PA view): Previous radiological findings (a homogenous shadow extending to the anterior margin of the 3rd rib on the left) show good regression (some reduction in parenchymal opacity at the left base)
BRONCHOSCOPY: A tumor mass located on the posterior wall of the left main bronchus appears stationary compared to the previous endoscopic finding.
EKG: Atrial fibrillation, absolute arrhythmia, HR 160/min, left axis deviation, left-sided ischemia. Currently showing sinus rhythm at about 98/min, with PVCs
LAB RESULTS: All within the reference ranges that allow him to proceed with the next round of chemo.
What exactly does "show good regression" and "finding is stationary" mean? Does this imply he's actually getting better? 👋

Well, I managed to track down the recipe for you:
Grind up 300g of aloe vera cactus leaves using a meat grinder.
Make sure the plant is at least 18 months old, and for the best results, don't water it for five days before you use it.
700g of high-quality, pure black wine.
250g of chicory (you can find a good brand like Kraft at most grocery stores).
400g of raw honey with the comb included.
To this honey, mix in 2g of royal jelly and 40g of pollen.
500g of 96% alcohol.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly, pour them into a dark glass bottle, seal it tight, and let it sit in a cool, dark place for five days.
After that, strain the liquid and follow this dosage schedule:
- During the first week, take one teaspoon three times a day, at least an hour before meals—though two hours is even better if you can manage it.
- In the second week, increase it to a slightly larger spoonful, or about one and a half teaspoons, three times a day, an hour before eating.
- After that, use the remaining amount by taking one tablespoon three times a day, an hour before meals.
I recommend this gradual approach so your body can adjust to the preparation; it’s incredibly effective at cleansing the system, so it’s quite possible you might experience looser stools or similar effects while it works its magic.
You can continue this for three months, then take a short break of about 20 days before starting again.
👍

Of course I can help 🙂
My Grandpa is currently going through his third round of chemo, and he actually battled pneumonia right after the second cycle. Despite being 70 years old, though, he’s holding up incredibly well. He hasn't even lost all his hair yet; it just thinned out a bit after the second treatment.
Here is his current regimen:
- He drinks a liter of Tahéebo tea every single day. It’s a bit of a process to make because you have to use distilled water, or boil regular water twice first. I make sure nothing touches metal—I use a heat-resistant glass pot for boiling and stick to plastic utensils for everything else. You boil it for 5-7 minutes at a high temperature, then let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes on low. After letting it settle, I strain it, and he sips it throughout the day.
- Ecomer capsules, 3x2 (cod liver oil).
- Native propolis, 3x1.
- Ginseng + Green Tea capsules (from Biofarm, ) 2x1.
- He also has this special tonic my friend's grandmother made for her—she actually beat cancer herself. It's a blend of high-quality red wine, 80% alcohol, propolis, fresh aloe vera, and chicory. I think I saw a similar recipe posted on this forum before, so I'll try to dig it up for you.
So, that’s what he takes on a daily basis.
During his three days of chemotherapy, I juice some ginger and mix one teaspoon into whatever liquid he’s drinking (tea or juice) both before and after the infusions, plus a little bit during the day. Honestly, I think that’s why he hasn't felt nauseous after the treatments so far.
He eats plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables and stays very well hydrated. So far, his blood counts haven't dropped below the normal range at all.
During his first round of chemo, he also took Amazonian Megain, Cuban Galen, and Imunrac Forte capsules. However, that specific therapy costs about $165 for a 15-day course, so we’ll only consider going back to it if we can't manage to keep his blood counts steady through other means, or if he starts having a hard time tolerating the chemo itself.
I really hope some of this helps you. I remember that overwhelming feeling of being certain there must be *something* else I could give him; it used to drive me absolutely crazy. I felt so lost, like I was somehow withholding something vital without even knowing what it was. But I truly believe we are doing everything within our power. Keeping a positive mindset and maintaining a peaceful environment is so important, even if that means literal isolation from people who might bring us down.
I went through this whole journey with my mom too. I was quite a bit younger then, but thank God, she is still healthy and strong today, seven years after her surgery. Just keep moving forward—I am wishing you nothing but the best!! 😘

I was watching this program recently featuring an 87-year-old gentleman who was incredibly sharp and remarkably full of life. When he was asked that rather cliché question about his secret to longevity, he just gave a simple answer: "I've been lucky."
He paused for a moment, reflecting, before adding two more things: "I love women, and I love spending time with younger people."
I’ve also been reading up on that "futuristic" Stimuvax vaccine, which is designed to prime the immune system so the body can fight cancer cells on its own. Perhaps the next generation will simply be luckier (God willing). But that doesn't mean we can stop fighting right now; we can't just sit by while our loved ones suffer. I am becoming increasingly convinced that the real key to overcoming cancer lies in strengthening the immune system, and looking at my Grandpa's hematology results, I can see that it actually makes a difference. I don't know how much time he has left—he’s an elderly man who has already lived through so much—but I just want every single moment he spends with us to be high quality.
Maybe all of this sounds a bit scattered; I'm feeling quite exhausted and think I might be coming down with a cold... 🤣

Well, at the end of the day, being able to keep going is what matters most.
I didn't pick up any noni, but I've been sticking with shark liver oil (Ecomer), some homemade remedies, and various vitamins. I actually heard a few good things about broccoli capsules recently—do you happen to know anything about those?

Angela Wright,
I just wanted to reach out and say thank you so much for recommending that native propolis. 😘
Maybe it’s just my Grandpa and me being overly optimistic, but he’s definitely feeling stronger, and honestly, I feel like my mood has brightened up too. Plus, we haven't had any more high fevers!! 👍
Taking things one small step at a time really is the way to go!! 😍

I honestly don't even know how to put this into words, other than to say: you are a total hero, girl!!!

You actually guessed right; I'm currently over in Canada. 😁
It shouldn't be much of an issue, though, since I can coordinate everything through a close friend who visits me quite often.
Thanks again for all the information; I’ll definitely reach out to them, as there's really no harm in trying. 👍
I was browsing their website earlier and reading about the people they've assisted, and the very first case mentioned was a man suffering from lung cancer, which is exactly what my grandfather is dealing with. I truly wish he could catch his breath a bit more easily, because right now his left lung is almost completely obstructed, leaving him to rely entirely on his right side just to breathe.

I’ve been making him some fennel tea to help settle his stomach and encourage his appetite, and I already have chicken simmering in the pot with plenty of vegetables.
To support his immune system, he’s taking cod liver oil along with this concoction made of aloe, chicory, wine, propolis, and who knows what else...
I’m currently reading through that page you shared, which looks incredibly promising, though I’m a bit lost on how to actually get my hands on it. Where can I find it, and what does it cost? I have a friend living in Washington, D.C., who might be able to pick it up at a local pharmacy if it's available there. Also, do they handle online orders, or is that not an option?
So far, Grandpa hasn't dealt with any major side effects, aside from noticing his hair thinning out a little. He hasn't had any vomiting at all. He has always been such a remarkably strong man, physically resilient, so it truly breaks my heart to see him looking this broken. He barely even has the strength to hold a conversation.

I’m honestly at my wit's end right now. I’ve been looking after my grandfather on my own, and ever since his second round of chemo, he’s been running a fever and seems completely wiped out. He just doesn't have any appetite and can't seem to get a wink of sleep; no matter what kind of meal I try to prepare for him, he barely manages a single bite. To make matters even worse, he's developed a urinary tract infection on top of everything else, which is clearly adding to his discomfort.
His doctor mentioned that the fever is a typical response to the chemotherapy treatment itself. Beyond that, his blood pressure has dropped significantly to 90/55, which is quite a shift considering he has dealt with high blood pressure for years and has been on medication for it for a long time. He had to stop taking those regular prescriptions for now because, frankly, they don't make sense given how low his pressure is currently. Is there anything at all I can do to help him regain even a tiny bit of strength? The doctor suggested I give him some aspirin...😢

High cholesterol levels - any advice?

...I completely blanked on mentioning apple cider vinegar, which I honestly find quite effective: just mix three tablespoons of ACV with a spoonful of honey in a glass of water and sip it every morning.
For those who can't stomach the taste, you can always go the supplement route with apple cider vinegar and nettle capsules (Pfizer makes a good one: http://www.pfizer.com/product/id=34)

High cholesterol levels - any advice?
in Health ·
I’m quite thin, yet my cholesterol levels are stubbornly high—it’s likely a genetic thing, given that my dad deals with the exact same issue. That said, I am CONVINCED that birth control pills can definitely play a role in those numbers, so if you’re currently on them, please make sure to bring your recent blood work to your gynecologist and have a real conversation about it.
For me, taking artichoke extract before meals made a significant difference, along with snacking on flaxseeds mixed into yogurt between meals and sipping on green tea. Of course, I’d also suggest staying active to help get your metabolism moving. When I'm cooking, I stick to olive oil or a high-quality omega-3 supplement like Align to keep things healthy.
