casualrider21 said:Anyway, here’s my take—based on what I’m seeing on the ground right now—it’s actually a mix of both approaches. I’m banking on that, and honestly, I firmly believe it’ll lead to positive results.😉

Look, I'm all for that, and that's exactly what we're fighting for. But the argument being made here is claiming the exact opposite.

So, what are you seeing on your end?

I didn't actually have any issues with it until I started reading these forums and realized it was even an option...
....but it definitely is possible😢 I’d love nothing more than to kick the beer habit for good, but I really need it to manage my endometriosis

Here's the live stream
casualrider21 said:I think life is hard enough for everyone without us wasting our energy on this kind of nonsense.

Then why are you putting so much effort into it?😕

This whole argument kicked off because of a very specific issue that’s been dragging through the Health section for months now—something the mods have already had to step in and address several times. Hopefully, they’ll finally deal with it once and for all and wipe out all the junk that’s piled up here.
Actually, everything you wrote is spot on, and that's exactly why this fight started in the first place.😉
Everyone has the right to speak their mind, provided they stay within the rules of the forum and its sub-forums. Those are the rules, so there's not much else to say about it.🤷
Drew Allen said:Here’s the info for anyone interested—just copy and paste this:
Tomorrow (April 22, 2009) from 9:00 AM to noon, tune in to the second station of American Radio for a live broadcast centered around the book "Chemotherapy treat cancer and earth be flat plate" by Lothar Hirneise from Germany. The show is hosted by editor Ljudevit Grgurić Grga; it's called "Hungry ear" and airs every Wednesday.

We'll have some fascinating experts joining us both in the studio and via phone to dive deep into the complexities of cancer.
Post written by "Tornado"...
Who actually cares about following orders? I'm just going to try and track down that station online myself.

Yeah, it's going to be interesting.👍 If you can, listen closely—and then just sit tight and don't do a damn thing. The Association reached out to us, asking for our input on which doctors and scientists should be involved in this.😁
Drew Allen said:This cannabis comes straight from the Dr. Josif Pančić Institute. It’s fully backed by every necessary certificate, diploma, and award you could ask for. It's effective, it gets the job done, and it’s safe—which is exactly what you're looking for, isn't it? 🙂

I don't take anything unless it comes from Ruđer.😛
Drew Allen said:Talk about class! Unbelievable... then people have the nerve to tell me to "calm my passions." 🙏
If you're looking to fix that diarrhea, I’d most highly recommend a blend of homemade tea that actually works wonders for clearing things out. Wishing you nothing but the best in getting your gut back on track. 😁 Here's hoping for some "normal stools" very soon.

🙄🙄🙄

Why would anyone bother treating a symptom with herbs when you could permanently solve the problem by eliminating the actual cause? 😉...You've been politely asked to stop the provocations, and since you're clearly so "civilized and well-intentioned," I’m certain you’ll honor that spirit, right? 👍
If you won't, I'm sure the moderators will step in instead.😳
Drew Allen said:I sent Angela Wright a well-intentioned message a few months back, and she never bothered to reply. No matter how much she might dislike me, she could have at least responded so we could clear the air. Instead, she just keeps bombarding me, and I suspect she’s probably begging the admins to scrub my posts (I can't prove it, but it's my best guess). What kind of respect did she show me? Absolutely none. So why on earth should I respect her? I don't see any reason to.
Go ahead and get mad at me, hold whatever grudge you want, but I don't wish ill on any of you—NOT EVER! I'm just trying to reach the goal we're all searching for here. If my posts bother anyone else (besides just Angela Wright), feel free to speak up, and I'll stop writing. If it helps any of you, I'll do it.

Honestly, your "well-intentioned" little message gave me an instant stomach ache.🙄 I think we are operating on such vastly different levels that healthy communication is impossible, which is why I didn't dignify that infantile message of yours with a response, and I certainly don't see why you're forcing this issue.🤷
Drew Allen said:Oh, so chemotherapy is just some medicine and milk flowing through your veins?

Look, I'm not trying to be anyone's hero or a big shot. Like I already said, old man Jova has documentation that I really wish someone would go out and verify to see if it's legitimate or a total forgery! Who says I actually trust him? That's exactly why I suggested "it would be good if someone investigated this." As for going to him myself, I'm not qualified enough to look over medical records and determine if they're fakes or originals. Like most people here, I'm just a layman. At the end of the day, papers and theories don't mean a thing compared to the spoken word and people who have actually recovered. Period.

Go check it yourself before you start blathering about it, and until then, please leave us alone with your rhetoric and demagoguery.😳☕
Drew Allen said:If you care so much about whether this alternative actually works, why don't you just head over to Cetinja to see Grandpa Jovo and look through the medical files of the recovered patients yourself? Or are you just waiting for someone else to do the legwork and tell you it’s true—assuming it is—so you can just sit here repeating the same script instead of actually putting in the effort to go verify it?
I’ve been saying all along that there isn’t some magic, one-size-fits-all cure for cancer. Every single patient is a unique case that requires individual attention. Just because someone might have successfully helped a massive number of people doesn't mean they'll be my silver bullet! I never claimed that. It could work for 99 out of 100 people, and I could still be that one outlier for whom his drops do absolutely nothing. There are plenty of herbalists out there "selling smoke" and getting rich off other people's misery, and I've already made my stance clear on them. Those scammers belong behind bars! But let's look at conventional medicine too—how many doctors have caused patients to lose their lives through negligence? I'm not just talking about cancer; I'm talking about medicine in general. In any profession, there is a massive chasm between an amateur and a professional!

Drew, seriously, stop terrorizing people, please😳! You've already been warned by the admins multiple times. It's painfully obvious to everyone here that you mostly show up just to troll and derail the conversation.
Do you honestly think we're all here just for fun and petty bickering?! 😠
Try reading this thread from the beginning to see what I've actually been through before you start judging me or suggesting I go hunt down some old man or uncle! Based on your logic, I should probably be searching through archives in some remote town just because you think you're so smart. Why don't you go scan those documents yourself and send them over... honestly, give me a break. 🙄
Man, you are just repeating the same nonsense over and over. We processed everything you wrote a long time ago, but please understand that your attitude is incredibly grating—especially to people who have fought through hell and back, and who are still fighting even after losing battles, like I am.
Drew Allen said:P.S. You don't have to refer to yourself in the third person. 🙂

She doesn't have to, but she certainly has the right to. Given how much she fights for every single cancer patient in America—regardless of what's happening within her own family—she can damn well speak in the fourth person if she wants to.😳

As for alternatives, I think most people on this forum have made their positions incredibly clear on more than one occasion.
Jesse Morgan3 said:Can anyone here who (unfortunately) has experience dealing with cancer tell me anything about Breussov's method—that 42-day fasting protocol?

I've heard the logic behind it is essentially starving both yourself and the cancer cells simultaneously, potentially forcing the carcinoma into retreat.

On the flip side, a lot of people argue that when you're in this fight, you need to bolster your immune system, which obviously requires fuel—food and fluids. To me, those two philosophies feel like they're at a total standstill with each other.

To be honest, a relative of mine passed away from cancer after trying this method, though it didn't work. Then again, he wasn't strictly following the guidelines, so maybe that played a role in the outcome.

Early on in this forum, a user named lepina wrote about this. He even posted his CT scan results after completing the protocol. He actually succeeded, and honestly, he’s the only person I know who did. Everyone else I've heard of who tried it just didn't make it happen.😢
Amanda Grant56 said:I was just browsing an online list regarding that herbalist from Karlovac when I stumbled upon this forum by accident.

I really hope your mom is feeling better in the meantime and that she makes a full recovery very soon.

I first heard about this herbalist about a year ago, and everyone who has sought their advice since then has been genuinely satisfied with the results.
I'll lay out three cases for you. Thank God they aren't related to carcinoma, but they involve illnesses that are just as much not to be trifled with.

In the most extreme case, we’re talking about a close friend of my uncle who was struggling with incredibly high cholesterol. The doctors threw everything at him—piles of prescriptions, strict dietary regimens, you name it. He played by all the rules, followed every instruction to the letter, but his levels just kept climbing higher and higher. Then, out of nowhere, he heard about this herbalist based out of Karlovac and decided to make the trip. He ended up getting a specific tea he had to drink, along with some minor lifestyle adjustments he needed to stick to.
My cholesterol levels have absolutely plummeted—and I mean, incredibly fast.

Here’s another one for you. A friend of my parents went through a massive heart issue about a year or a year and a half ago. Even in this case, the doctors over in Austria threw everything they had at him—they ran every test and tried every procedure under the sun. Honestly? It didn't yield much of anything. He was feeling absolutely terrible from the Covik. After months of bouncing between hospital wards and enduring endless rounds of therapy, he finally decided to just walk away from the clinical stuff and go see a herbalist instead. Now, every single time I ask my mom or dad how he's doing, I get the exact same response: "You'd never even know anything ever happened to him."
Of course, he never mentioned he was using those herbal teas. But every single time he shows up for an appointment and they prescribe their standard "medication," the doctors look absolutely stunned by how great he actually looks.

The third case involves my aunt, who struggles with some form of schizophrenia. Ever since I can remember, it’s been a total nightmare—God forbid. The last few years have been the absolute worst. I honestly lost track of how many times she’s been hospitalized, bouncing from one clinic to another. Every time they put her on medication, things seem to stabilize for a tiny window of time, but then the whole situation just spirals downward again. On top of that, the side effects from those pills were brutal; she looked terrible, completely swollen and bloated all over.
She’s probably been using those teas for about a year now. Since I don't live in the same city, I haven't had the chance to see her in person yet. But my folks tell me she hasn't looked better or acted more "normal" since they've known her. (Maybe that sounds a bit harsh, but you know how it is.)
If I'm not mistaken, she eventually has to take a break—I mean, we're talking about mental health here. But obviously, once she stops, things go downhill fast. The dosage is always a moving target, too; she’s constantly calling up her herbalist to check in, and he's the one telling her whether to scale it back or ramp it up.

So, that’s my experience.
I sincerely hope I never have to rely on any of this, especially not for something serious, but if heaven forbid I ever found myself in that position, I wouldn't spend a single second overthinking it. I’d just walk away immediately.

Look, can you do me a favor? Reach out to your friends and family and ask them to grab copies of those medical histories. Once you have them, just shoot everything over to my email address. ivana@zanovidan.hr Look, within our Association, we’re actually building a database of "vetted" alternative practitioners just so people don't drown in this absolute sea of misinformation. Stories like yours are everywhere—they're practically the bread and butter for every amateur herbalist, bioenergy healer, and self-proclaimed alternative "doctor" out there. For the vast majority of them, history has already proven they're nothing more than charlatans.

Look, I have to drive this point home: you can't treat every illness with the same logic because different diseases carry entirely different levels of complexity and indication. Cancer isn't just some minor ailment; it is an incredibly complex beast that is notoriously difficult to combat. If you decide to abandon conventional medical treatment, you are essentially inviting a fatal outcome. It is a galloping disease—it moves with such aggressive speed that it becomes practically impossible to bolster your immune system or overhaul your lifestyle and circumstances fast enough to get ahead of it.
HELP!!! What do I do??? in Health ·
goldenjackal10 said:So, I’ve got this awkward situation. I’ve developed some kind of subcutaneous lumps around my anus. I’m no medical expert, but my best guess is hemorrhoids.
The catch is I’m currently away from home for a few months, so seeing a doctor isn't really an option right now.
Any advice on how to deal with these? Maybe an ointment or something? 🤷🤷

Try using cold compresses and pick up some Fact ointment—it's a household name you can grab over the counter at any local CVS or Walgreens.👍
Taylor Morgan4 said:Hey everyone. I'm really glad I stumbled upon this thread because my life turned into a living hell in a heartbeat, and I wanted to reach out to others walking this same grueling path. Seven months ago, my three-year-old daughter was diagnosed with Acute lymphoblastic leukemia. To be honest, I still don't know how I stayed upright when they dropped that bombshell on us. Since that day, my child and I have been essentially trapped in a tiny room at Vinogradska Hospital, completely cut off from the rest of the world. She started chemotherapy last October. Thank God, she’s actually handling it incredibly well. In all these seven months, she’s only thrown up twice, and neither time was even caused by the treatment. We had some minor issues adjusting to the pills, but we got used to that after a while. Honestly, her biggest struggle was the isolation—the fact that nobody, not even her dad, could step foot in the room. Everyone just waves through the glass door. I eventually managed to explain why things had to be this way, and after a bit, she accepted it. I have a younger daughter who was just a baby back then; now, she’s already a little girl walking and talking. Dorotea hasn't even seen her in seven months because little kids aren't allowed on the ward, and I've only been able to see her a handful of times during this entire stretch. She calls me constantly, and I miss both her and my husband more than words can say. We've been hit by a massive tragedy, but somehow we've pulled through together, and we're coming out stronger for it. We're finally counting down the days until we can leave. Dorotea has her final session for the first part of her third cycle this Friday, and then we should finally be able to head home. There’s a six-week break between the first and second parts, so I’m praying we actually get to go back to our own lives. It is long overdue.

I know how brutal this is, but hang in there just a little longer. You're going to pull through. Childhood leukemia responds so well to treatment. Soon enough, you'll all be back together, looking back on this nightmare as just a dark chapter that's finally closed.
gentletiger46 said:Wait, does "all" hair mean literally EVERYTHING? Eyelashes, eyebrows, the whole nine yards? I can't get a straight answer from anyone—some people say it’s just the hair on your head, others swear it’s everything. Look, I won’t throw a fit if my leg hair falls out, but if it grows back thicker than a jungle, I might just end up swinging from a tree at the local zoo. Right now, though, this is serious! 🤣

My mom only lost her hair on her head.
Unfortunately, the hair on her legs proved to be completely resistant to every chemical thrown at it, including chemotherapy.😳
gentletiger46 said:Reading this is giving me a bit of anxiety. I’m actually thinking about cutting my hair short myself—since chemo is right around the corner—but I was picturing a cute pixie cut, not just going completely bald right away.😢😲 😢At what point did you guys actually cut it? When did the hair start falling out? What was that timeline like? 🙂

My mom’s hair basically started thinning out on day one of her treatment.
Honey, don't let this get in your head. It's a blessing that the body is designed to regenerate; it'll grow back thicker and healthier than before. Let's pray that this is the only downside to this whole ordeal.
If you want my honest advice, just shave it all off now. It beats dealing with the shock when it starts coming out in clumps, which honestly looks pretty rough. In fact, seeing it fall out is way more jarring than the actual issue itself.
Everything is going to be fine, don't worry.🙂
Lisa White54 said:Where can I pick up some royal jelly? We’ve never used it before, but I’ve heard it’s actually really good for you.

You can find it at pretty much any local beekeeper's.
Melissa Parker37 said:Yesterday, they started giving Dad morphine straight into his veins because he just couldn't take the pain anymore. His physical condition is pretty bad; he hasn't been eating normally for over a month, and for the last two weeks, he's barely managed a few bites. Naturally, his blood work is terrible, and having Type 2 diabetes isn't helping either—his liver and pancreas are basically a disaster zone at this point. He was still lucid until the day before yesterday, but yesterday he slept almost the entire day because of the morphine. I asked the head doctor to explain what we should expect, and he told me things are only going to get worse and that morphine is all we have left. This morning, Mom begged me to ask the hospital if they could let him come home so she could look after him, but I don't think that's the smartest move. I don't want to shut her down—he’s my father too and she would do anything for him—and they really are being well taken care of in the hospital, plus neither Mom nor I are equipped to handle this level of care. I feel completely lost. God, help me!

I hear both of you loud and clear, but I also know that personally, I’d want to spend my final days surrounded by family in my own bed... it's such an intimate thing.
Ask the doctor how feasible and acceptable that would be, and whether it actually makes sense from a medical standpoint. Honestly, you can arrange for morphine and oxygen at home, just like you can manage daily nursing care. The most important thing is that Dad has constant pain control. He might even perk up a bit being back in his own environment. If you go that route, I’d strongly suggest trying to rent one of those specialized hospital beds from a local medical supply company. I mean the ones with hydraulic adjustments and anti-decubitus air mattresses. You will absolutely break your back without one, and speaking from experience, I can't recommend them enough. Usually, you can rent those beds for a pretty reasonable monthly fee.
Oh man, I am so incredibly sorry things have reached this point😢...I know what you're all going through, and if it helps at all, just know that you can get through this and come out the other side okay.
Hang in there.
Drew Allen said:Doctors ban herbs because they’re full of poison? Oh, for God's sake... 🙏 Doctors don't ban things like Aloe Vera or anything else you mentioned because they actually have negative effects; they do it because if a patient actually gets better, they can't claim credit. They won't be able to prove whether it was the chemotherapy or the herbs (teas, honey, etc.) that did the heavy lifting. This YouTube video shows the collision between people who recovered naturally after doctors threw up their hands and said there was nothing left to do, and the very same people who manufacture those drugs and sell them to us at astronomical prices. Judge for yourself which side is right. This video is incredible, to say the least. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZTFq...rom=PL&index=7
And she wrote above, "let the herbalist give you a guarantee that they will cure you." 🙏 I'd love to see any doctor give you a guarantee that they'll cure cancer. Seriously, who can guarantee anything? Neither side can. Not the MDs, and not the herbalists. I don't see the point in your comment about demanding a guarantee for a cure.
Of course, you shouldn't turn your back on modern medicine entirely, because how else are you supposed to monitor your health without medical testing and bloodwork?

Come on, please—first of all, where exactly did I say herbs were full of poison?
Even if I didn't say it, it's true. Brew yourself some chamomile tea and toss in some oleander flowers, then get back to me. If you're so keen on traveling, go ask Native Americans, Bushmen, or Aboriginals what they think about it. 😉

Look, friend, nobody can give you a guarantee for anything—not a doctor, and especially not an herbalist who is impossible to verify and operates with zero regulatory oversight . If you don't see the point of my comment, then you clearly weren't reading carefully, so go back and read it again.
Megan Chase63 said:I'm dealing with something similar. My mom was diagnosed with Stage IV ovarian cancer with metastases throughout her body. They told us there was no point in surgery or treatment, so we bought a blend of 180 different herbs from a phytotherapist in Columbus who claims his tea will cure her, but insists we walk away from conventional medical treatment . After buying the tea, the doctors decided to proceed with surgery anyway, and tomorrow (20 days post-op) she starts her first round of chemo. Since the surgery, we've been giving her these teas, and now we're stuck—do we keep going alongside the chemo, or are we risking making things worse due to potential contraindications? We asked the herbalist, and he said there’s no issue and she can drink the tea whenever she wants during chemo, but if we asked the doctors, they’d call us crazy because they don't recognize anything outside of mainstream medicine. Now we don't know what to do. Has anyone here tried treatments from the phytotherapist Branko Jaramaz in Columbus?

I’m not even going to bother commenting on anything else, because honestly, man, you’ve become incredibly tedious with this constant rhetoric and demagoguery. 🙂
Linda Cox69 said:Hey everyone,
it feels like this is the only place where I can actually let it all out, because you guys truly get what I’m going through...😢

I’m having a rough one today. Mom headed out for her second round of chemo. She’s being incredibly brave—no complaining, just taking it like a champ. She’s holding up well, though I guess we’re all just trying to weather the storm right now. It’s hitting me hard today.

I feel so heavy. I'm sitting here at work, but honestly, all I want to do is crawl into bed at home with a mountain of tissues, the TV on, and just lean on my Xanax...

I have zero drive left. Not even a shred of energy left in my soul.
I just got off the phone with Mom; she’s already in her room. They’ll start the therapy soon. It’ll probably be more pills today and then the actual chemo tomorrow.

I’m really hoping they let her come home tomorrow.

I'm looking at all these emojis on my screen, but none of them can touch how I feel right now. There isn't a symbol for this kind of bottomless grief and pain... I feel like I'm in a complete coma.😢🙂🙂🙂

I just want today and tomorrow to be over already. I just want Mom to handle the chemo okay. I pray she doesn't deal with the same agony she did last time—she could barely stand it then...

The tears won't stop...
God help us all through this nightmare... Here’s a little bit of poetry to keep my head up, maybe it'll lift my spirits a bit...

Today’s post is a total downer. Sorry.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~for the rest of you—since nothing is helping me today...

Love,

I'll check back in once I pull myself together..🙂

Linda, take this virtual 🙂
Honey, try to lean into your work and everything else in your life that still gives you focus outside of Mom's illness. You feel drained because you're exhausting yourself by constantly spiraling about "what ifs" and worrying about things that haven't happened yet... and that path leads nowhere.
Try to stay rational. Mom has what she has, and you are doing everything within your power and knowledge. If it's beyond your control, you can't force it. Things will happen as they happen, and you'll handle them when they arrive.
Unfortunately, life isn't just laughter and happy moments; it's also woven with days like this one. This is natural. And honestly? Let the tears flow and take your Xanax if you need to. Right now, there is no reason *not* to cry. Mom is here, she is fighting, and that is what matters most. The fight is everything, and weakness is just fuel for cancer. Don't let that monster feed on your spirit! Instead, think about the little ways you can cheer Mom up when she gets back from the hospital. With Easter coming up soon, maybe a small holiday gesture would brighten her mood. You know best what makes her smile, so cherish this quality time with her. We are all transient, whether healthy or sick—it’s just that those who are ill are much more aware of it.
And never forget:
Even when life feels its darkest and most hopeless, know that this too shall pass, and that you carry a strength inside you that you don't even realize exists.
Hang in there, dear. We are all standing right there with you.🙂
