Carol Ramirez said:We buried my Grandfather today—my second father and my absolute rock. I honestly don't know how to face things right now. Everywhere I look, there's just evidence of our fight: his meds, everything I used to prep for him, the prescriptions, the test results, his glasses. If I could, I’d just run away to Mars.
My heart goes out to you. With a caring angel like you by his side, he went peacefully.

Everywhere I look, there’s just evidence of our fight—the meds he took, everything I used to prep for him, the prescriptions, his test results, those little notes, even his glasses.

My heart goes out to you. Your Grandfather had such a brave and caring angel by his side, and I truly believe he passed peacefully knowing he had that kind of support.

Angela Wright, please accept my deepest condolences.
Thanks to everyone who stood by us over these last 10 months.
Sending sympathy to you and your whole family. May your dad's soul rest in peace. My advice? Take this time to focus on yourself and find the light again. Leave all the bitterness and the heavy stuff behind you. Even if things get rough, I know you'll handle it—you've always been a fighter through and through.
Deepest condolences. Your mom lives on through you, and the strength you both shared is exactly what the rest of us draw from when we're fighting our own battles.

The only thing that brings me any peace is knowing he went out like an angel and that he stayed on his feet almost until the very end.
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Your dad was lucky to have a daughter like you, and that bond is a blessing—a memory you'll carry forever and a true testament to what it means to be a family that loves one another.

Whether we’re feeling great or we’re totally wiped out, every single new day is worth celebrating. When I was dealing with my illness, every morning—and honestly, every single rough patch—I kept telling myself, "Mickey, you've got this." It's easy to fall into that trap of thinking everyone else has it easier or that you're the only one struggling. .

)Are there any specific limits when it comes to using the Brus therapy? I'm mostly wondering about weight
You need to wait at least six months after the last round of radiation therapy. As for his weight loss, honestly, it doesn't matter at all. If someone is that weak, this therapy might actually be exactly what he needs—it provides enough essential nutrients to keep him going and potentially even help him regain some strength.
Anonymous said:Honestly, you’ve got to overhaul your lifestyle habits, especially when the weekend rolls around.
Load up on fruits and veggies—raw or dried. Cut out the processed meats and anything packed with preservatives. Get outside and move more. Also, try making a tea from organic potato skins—the kind grown without herbicides or pesticides. Boil a small handful of those organic potato skins in about two cups of water for roughly five minutes. Sip a few cups of it once it cools down every day. After ten days or so, you'll start feeling better, and you can actually prove it with blood work at the Mayo Clinic—provided you're staying active. I used this exact method to bring my elevated transaminase levels back down while I was going through chemotherapy.
Jesse Fowler82 said:Look, everyone has the right to feel like they've been completely abandoned when they hit a massive health crisis—it hurts like hell. I became disabled at 35, and honestly, it feels like every ship I ever owned just sank at once. Everyone keeps saying, "Hang in there, it’ll be fine," but man, that's easy to say. Who knows? Maybe I missed the boat with this forum too, because right now, I don't see a single lifeline left to grab onto. By the way, what happened to me isn't "tragic" in the grand scheme of things, but in my private life, it's incredibly awkward. Basically, I had an ileostomy—total removal of the large intestine. I'm forced to wear a bag for the rest of my life, and even though it's been a month since the surgery, I still haven't wrapped my head around it. My girlfriend left me, my friends look at me with that pitying gaze—which is the last thing I need—and family... well, family is family; they try to be objective, but they aren't. It sucks seeing healthy people around you who turn their backs just because of one flaw, leaving you feeling totally isolated. I've been sliding into depression lately, and I honestly don't know if I'll pull through, but I'm fighting and I'm not quitting. The worst part is knowing I've limited my chances of building what I wanted most: a family and real happiness. I have this gut feeling that people find this repulsive, especially women. That thought of "who would ever want me like this?" is soul-crushing. Fine, I'll stay alone if I have to, but seriously, what kind of life is this?....
Regarding meds, I've been following the posts above. There's one amazing supplement that you can't pick up in local US stores, but you can order it from abroad—it's called Shilajit, and I highly recommend it. I know people who have been taking it consistently, and it has genuinely extended their lives. If you need any advice on how to get it, let me know.... You can read more about it at www.evalar.ru
When you're standing in a forest, you can't see the trails yet. Once you stumble upon that first path, you'll start seeing the others, and then you just have to figure out where they lead. I know a guy who passed fifty and lives a incredibly intense life with his bag. He's constantly skydiving and paragliding, even though he suffered a stroke and still deals with some mild issues on his left side. He has a huge social circle and tons of friends. You don't have to go skydiving, but there’s always something out there to keep you interested.
coppergardener said:Thanks everyone so much! (Hopefully I can be just as helpful with my own advice once I learn a bit more.) I have just one more question for now: Is it okay to combine the Budwig method and Dr. Breuss? Haha, maybe I'll just invent a new diet called "B&B."
Better not to mix them. Nobody has actually tried that yet, and we’re talking about a massive stake here—your life. Stick to what others have already put into practice. That way, I can personally vouch for the healing power of these methods based on real-world success stories.

I had a tumor removed from my large intestine back in April 2004. Post-surgery, I was feeling pretty rough, so I started taking Noni. My wound just wouldn't heal—it dragged on for about two and a half months. Nothing seemed to touch it until I cooked up my own juice blend: Echinacea purpurea (which I’d actually planted before I even knew this little beast was living inside me), nettle, lemon juice, and chestnut honey. I’d prep enough for just one or two days at a time. I didn't read about this anywhere; I just threw it together based on what felt right. The only thing I ever actually read was that Native Americans used Echinacea to help wounds heal. This is just my experience, and I'm not suggesting it'll work for everyone.
Just like it’s easy for me to accept that a single grain of wheat dies in the soil only to become a lush field of wheat and produce new grain, it’s just as easy to believe that a wonderful soul, someone who passes away on this earth, will rise to a new life in a paradise overflowing with joy.

HAPPY AND BLESSED EASTER to everyone on the forum!
Angela Wright said:I caught a segment on the news today discussing what they're calling "Gulf War Syndrome"—specifically the spikes in testicular cancer, thyroid issues, and Hodgkin’s lymphoma among veterans and civilians who were stationed in areas during those conflicts where depleted uranium munitions were deployed. My friends, if you take the scientists at their word, we're looking at a massive health crisis on our hands.😱
Sure, that might be part of it, but I still maintain that stress is the primary trigger when everything else lines up to create the perfect storm for tumors. It's like the body's reaction to all those extreme circumstances hitting someone who already has a genetic predisposition. In other settings, maybe it wouldn't have happened. It’s basically like playing the lottery, except here, the odds of "winning" are much higher.
David Gray4 said:When it comes to helping fight off cancer, I’ve found that drinking nettle tea can really make a difference—you should aim for about half a liter a day. If you stick with it for a few months, you'll start to notice some real changes. Also, try to load up on fresh, homegrown tomatoes and cranberries as much as possible.
Just don't drink the nettle tea at night. And don't go mixing it with just any random tea; stick to kidney-support blends that contain silica. You also need to take a two-week break after three weeks of use. Use something else during that gap. Most local herbalists won't tell you this, though.
In concentration camps, you don't see anyone dying from cancer. It’s not because they were dying from other things—though they certainly were—but because starvation simply doesn't leave enough fuel for a disease like that to develop in survivors. That’s why once those people finally started eating again, and when they moved back into "normal" life and began subconsciously recreating, reliving, and processing their trauma during more relaxed phases of life, the disease hit them en masse. It’s the same thing veterans go through. I’m one of them. When I was going in for chemo, my group included retired pilots, two active-duty detectives, several combat vets, and women who had survived various war-related traumas. I suspect genetics play the heavy lifting here—the DNA we inherit from our ancestors, along with inherited tendencies like dietary habits. I'd also say what Angela Wright listed at the start plays a part. I don't think those are set-in-stone rules, though.
Ivanic, maybe you should pick a fight with someone (maybe a doctor). Just kidding. Let me tell you a little story; A father was watching his young son try to move a massive flower vase. The little guy was straining, grunting, and pushing with everything he had, but he couldn't budge it an inch. "Did you use all your strength?" the father asked him. "I did," the boy replied. "No, you didn't," the father shot back, "because you didn't call on me to help you!" Asking for help means using "all" your strength. I don't want you to think I'm preaching to you—this approach worked for me, and it still does.
A huge thank you to everyone who’s been following my journey. I know several people out there who’ve had happy endings—cases where they were given only a few months to live, but somehow turned that into years. Thank God. As for how this stuff actually works, there are plenty of different theories floating around. But honestly? The most important thing is that it *works*. There’s a little story that sums it up perfectly. One Sunday, a young housewife was in the kitchen prepping a salad. Her husband walks in, feeling a bit playful, and asks, "So, can you tell me what the pastor preached about this morning?" "I don't really remember," she replies. "Well then, why even bother going to church if you aren't going to remember anything?" "Look, honey," she says, "you see this water I'm using to rinse the lettuce? The water flows in and then it drains away, leaving the bowl empty, but the salad still gets cleaned."
