Amanda Williams64 said:Take 300g of Aloe vera cactus leaves and run them through a meat grinder.
The plant should be at least 18 months old, and make sure you don't water it for about 5 days before you use it.
700g of pure black wine
250g of chicory (you can find this from Frank-Chicago)
400g of honey with honeycomb included
(You can stir in 2g of royal jelly and 40g of pollen—though honestly, this part varies depending on which recipe you follow; some people include it, some don't)😕 😕
500g of 96% alcohol
Mix everything thoroughly and pour it into a dark bottle (a 5-liter one is recommended), seal it tight, and stash it somewhere cool and dark for 5 days.
After that, strain the liquid and start taking it according to this schedule:
- For the first week, take one teaspoon three times a day, at least an hour before meals—though two hours is even better.
- For the following weeks, move up to one tablespoon three times a day, an hour before meals, and then finish off the rest by taking one tablespoon three times a day an hour before eating.
The idea here is to introduce it gradually so your body can adjust, because this stuff is an incredibly powerful cleanser. It’s quite possible you might experience looser stools or something similar while your system reacts.
You can use it for 3 months, take a short break of about 20 days, and then start again.
By the way, you can usually pick up those Aloe vera cacti at the Trešnjevec market!🙂
Feel free to add the pollen, but I wouldn't bother with the royal jelly since there's so much question about how long those active ingredients actually stay potent! You're much better off taking it in freeze-dried form (which is exactly why they freeze-dry and dry it out in the first place)!!!
rowdyrider11;8397427 said:My wife is fighting ovarian cancer. It first showed up two and a half years ago. They removed her left ovary, she went through six rounds of chemo, and everything seemed totally fine. But then, about six months ago, the cancer came roaring back with metastases in her pelvis, spine, lungs, and liver. A total disaster. But, of course, we don't give up. She started chemo again. After some initial progress, her markers spiked right after the fourth cycle, confirming the progression. Now, she’s waiting to start a new regimen with Topotecan.
You should definitely talk to her oncologist about adding Gemcitabine into the mix with the Topotecan. Unfortunately, it isn't covered by Medicare for ovarian tumors, so you have to pay out of pocket (it runs about $3000 a month). I knew a lady at SB who was in a nearly identical situation; she pushed through every single line of chemo until they finally told her, "That's it, she's clear!" Right now, she's in her second month of Gemcitabine, and her markers—which were over 1000 (basically off the charts)—have dropped down to 400. Even though I suggested combining Gemcitabine with Topotecan, the doctors wouldn't agree to a consultation, so she's just sticking with Gemcitabine alongside some natural supplements.

Charles Edwards8 said:And they explicitly mention it’s strictly for hospital use only. So, honestly, the easiest way to actually get your hands on it is probably just letting the doctors at a hospital in Boston coordinate directly with Pfizer. If you want the specifics, you can just pull the details from Steven Murphy's post.
I actually suspect you might be able to pick it up personally if you have a prescription, though I’m not entirely sure what the standard packaging size looks like.
I believe it's a 20% solution, but I don't know the exact volume.

The standard procedure is just using a referral,

Elizabeth Mitchell80 said:Gosh, I really have to jump in here because reading stuff like this actually makes my hair stand on end!
There is NO CURE for psoriasis. I know that’s a hard pill to swallow for those of us living with it, but it’s just the plain truth. We can talk about all kinds of different therapies, medications, or even those "home remedies" that might ease the symptoms
and make life a little more bearable, but when someone claims they can actually cure me? Honestly, it drives me crazy.
We’re essentially a prime target group for every snake oil salesman and charlatan out there looking to make a quick buck—especially since there are millions of us dealing with this across America. On the flip side, we also tend to grab at any straw, desperately searching for some magic formula that will finally rid us of this frustrating condition.
Look, I’ve had more than enough experience with people peddling "miracle creams," and I’ve wasted a small fortune on them. But enough is enough.
Now, whenever someone tries to sell me a drug that supposedly "CURES" psoriasis, I tell them, "Sure, why not? Hand over the ointment and let me try it. If it actually works, I’ll happily pay you five times your asking price!" Ha! Of course, the answer is always a resounding NO.
Sorry, please don't take this personally; I didn't mean to be offensive. Maybe you truly just want to help, but I’m asking you to please rephrase that "CURES PSORIASIS" part to something like "helps manage" or "relieves symptoms."
NICE ONE. Just a quick thought on that medication from the pharmacy: the girl there doesn't even know what it is, she just knows it works because people keep coming back for it. HMMMMM... if it’s such a miracle cure, why is everyone still needing it?
Hannah Parker80 said:I need this medication urgently,
It’s unavailable here in Ottawa, and honestly, I can't find it anywhere in the country.
Washington, D.C. doesn't have it either, though I heard there might be an equivalent produced locally (Human Immunoglobulin 95%) by the American Red Cross.
People down in Atlanta told us
Can anyone please point me toward where I can get this or provide an address?
Please, it's an absolute emergency—every second counts.
Look, what you're talking about is intravenous gamma globulin, and it sounds like you've got your facts a bit mixed up. It's actually produced by the National Institutes of Health over on Rockefeller Drive. Their number is 202-555-0199.
How do you cure a gene?
It’s actually possible to swap or insert a gene directly into a cell and then track its expression! A straightforward example would be retroviruses, which can integrate themselves right into cellular DNA, allowing them to persist indefinitely. Scientists use similar techniques in vitro to mimic this exact mechanism.
Maybe an even easier way to visualize this—if you’re into agriculture or have ever spent time harvesting corn out in the Midwest—is looking at multicolored corn kernels, like those black, white, or yellow varieties. What you're really seeing there is the movement of DNA segments (transposons) that jump independently from one strand of DNA to another, integrating themselves on their own (just ask the Nobel Prize winner Barbara McClintock). We see a similar phenomenon in the animal kingdom during germ cell maturation (recombination), though the whole process is kept under incredibly strict control.
Whether altering DNA segments or inducing gene mutations is "acceptable" really just depends on your perspective. If you’re looking at a fully formed individual with specialized cells, it's likely an undesirable occurrence (think of things like bcr-abl in multiple myeloma). But if you look at it through the lens of evolution (germ cells), it’s an incredible advantage. By swapping DNA segments or through single-gene mutations (polymorphism), an organism can gain the necessary edge to survive in entirely new environments.
EVOLUTION AT THE MOLECULAR LEVEL IS NOTHING MORE THAN RECOMBINATION + MUTATION!!!
But honestly, what might be more critical than a gene mutation in tumor cells is the loss of the internal ability to regulate cell proliferation (endogenous control). The reasons behind this are as numerous as the control mechanisms themselves. In most cases, the issue isn't necessarily a change in the actual sequence of nucleic bases within the gene itself, but rather an increase or decrease in the expression of a whole series of genes. That’s why, following the Human Genome Project, the Proteome project was launched to study gene products (proteins). It’s going to provide us with much deeper data on how we actually function, both at the cellular level and across the entire organism.

shadowmarlin52 said:Cancer rates here in the States are roughly three times lower than what we see across Europe, but even compared to our own national average, things look grim. And get this—if you look at specific regions like Southern California, those numbers spike even higher, hitting about 1.5 times the already high national average.
Could you clarify which statistics you're actually looking at? What's the source on this?
Cheers
Unfortunately, my fellow Americans, we’re hitting some of the highest cancer rates out there. It’s the kind of thing our brilliant politicians love to spin, basically saying, "See? We’re finally catching up to the West!"
Not exactly a comforting thought, is it?
The reasons behind this are endless (check out the start of the poll; Angela Wright mentioned some), and there are probably even more factors we haven't quite wrapped our heads around yet. Of course, this opens a massive door for the philosophers and the conspiracy theorists who want to claim it's all part of some grand plot!!!
But what really gets me thinking is the fact that in developing nations, the incidence rate is significantly lower. Take a massive country like India, for example—which, by the way, sits right there in the middle of the pack with emerging economies—and you'll find cancer rates that are three times lower or even more, especially when you look at developed regions within the Indian subcontinent like New Delhi or Mumbai. Interestingly, the distribution of specific types of tumors there actually looks just like what we see in the West!
Sure, you could always head over to Bates, but if you ask me, the crew over at Rib is way ahead of the curve when it comes to those kinds of comparisons!
I mean, look at someone like Dr. Nemet
or the folks at Mayo Clinic... specifically Dr. Ajdukovic
Nathan Newman3 said:This thread was started on behalf of someone else:
A father (57) has been diagnosed with osteomyelofibrosis. He’s currently being treated through periodic visits to Mayo Clinic and some medications (he’s on alpha-interferon now, though he was on something "lighter" before), but there hasn't been any real improvement. They are looking for a second opinion.
Does anyone have suggestions on what steps to take next?
1) A private clinic in the US (any specific ones?)—I assume this falls under hematology specialization. Who is the top hematologist in the States? Money isn't an issue.
2) A clinic in Austria.
I’d be grateful to anyone who can recommend a facility or a specialist.
If anyone here knows someone who has dealt with this disease, I’d love for you to share your experiences. I've done some reading online, but it’s a different story when you hear from actual people and those close to them.
Thanks again.
Who is he seeing at Mayo Clinic!?
OMF is quite... well, check this link for context.
http://theoncologist.alphamedpress.o.../11/8/929#SEC5
It's a review article from September 2006 and still holds up. The last author is our guy mentioned above (Dr. Verstovsek), who works over at MD Anderson Cancer Center researching new anti-tumor drugs.
As far as hematologists go, you don't necessarily need to go private!!!!
hm
Ran into this thread by complete accident.
Or maybe it wasn't an accident at all. I've spent a good chunk of the last year digging through data, seeking opinions, and hunting for answers for my 70-year-old father. Long story short: he needs two coronary bypasses and a mitral-tricuspid valve replacement.
We eventually ended up seeing Dr. Sutlic, who was absolutely fantastic—definitely lived up to all the glowing reviews we'd heard. However, after running every single test, the final verdict was that for my dad, the risk-to-benefit ratio is just too high. It’s better to skip the surgery entirely. Even though we were all pretty crushed by the news, we ultimately agreed it was the right call.
While I was down the rabbit hole researching our next steps, I stumbled upon several websites. One that really stood out was this one, which gives a great breakdown of how the process works over in the United Kingdom.

As for my dad, he's actually doing better now than he was before, thank God. Aside from his daily regimen of Furosemide, Carvelol, Cordarone, Tritace, and Tinidil, we've added some supplements to help cover the gaps where the maintenance meds fall short (which was never really the goal anyway). For instance, his EF rose from 25% to 33%. We’re actually looking forward to his next checkup because we’re hoping for even better numbers. Why? Well...
In the meantime, he seems to have recovered to everyone around him, too. His peripheral circulation is significantly improved, the edema is gone, and he isn't facing those emergency interventions that used to happen once a month just six months ago.
Anyway, I won't bore you with more details.
Best,

If there’s any legitimate reason to suspect we're dealing with ingredients that aren't cleared for easy import—you know, things like prescription meds, medical supplements, or hormones—the whole situation could spiral. We might end up stuck in a loop trying to secure import permits from the FDA and...
It doesn't seem like there’s any kind of standard procedure here. In my case, the supplements were delivered straight to my doorstep, and I just settled up the cash plus sales tax right when they arrived.
I REALLY NEED TO REITERATE THIS: if you're trying to buy something that requires an actual prescription from a doctor, this might not even be an option for you!!!!
You really need to look into plant-based NSAIDs (Nonsteroidal Antiinflammatory Drugs)!!!
Carol Ramirez, what kind of chemo is he actually getting?
I’m not entirely sure how the rules work for prescription medications, but for everything else, you’re looking at taxes and customs duties.
For instance, when I ordered items worth $160, I ended up paying $67 in fees.
Wait, I just realized—this whole thing is part of a propaganda campaign!
Amy Roberts6 started this entire thread about lymphoma just as a setup to sneak in a message about mushrooms later on!!
YOU'RE BUSTED
Angela Wright said:Don't fall for those articles where someone promises you a guaranteed cure for cancer. If that were actually true, wouldn't some ambitious scientist—especially one hungry for funding from Big Pharma—have jumped on it already? That researcher would be eyeing a Nobel Prize, and we wouldn't have people dying from cancer anymore... The twisted minds behind ads like that are just preying on the desperation of sick people to squeeze out a few extra bucks. Now, could it be a decent antioxidant? Sure. Maybe as a supplement to help you weather the storm of chemo or radiation.
I’m with Charles Edwards8 on this one; for now, just wait for the PhD results so we can figure out what we're actually dealing with. As for the claim that REISHI (Ganoderma) is merely an antioxidant—well, I don't think that's quite right. Reishi has been used for centuries in traditional medicine, and its most vital component is the polysaccharide structure of its cell wall, which primarily functions as an immunostimulant.
Unfortunately, I can't give you a definitive yes or no on whether it's a solution for tumor-related illnesses!
But I should point out that using medicinal mushrooms is a standard practice in the Far East. In Japan, certain mushroom extracts are even recognized as supplements in tumor therapies, allowing patients to potentially get their money back through tax deductions.
