You really have to try it first because the taste is honestly prehistoric. Some people can't even stomach it.
I always made sure to get it in a glass bottle, but I did buy the Encian brand in plastic once and it seemed fine. We go through about two bottles a month, though we take breaks, obviously.
You can take it straight (which smells absolutely horrendous), mix it with water, or my preferred way: pour half a cup of juice, plug your nose, and knock it back.
Aloe vera is also good. A blend or puree of beet, carrot, and apple works wonders too.
Just don't overdo it with all these supplements; piling them on will just end up taxing your system even more.

There is only one legitimate Noni, and that’s the Tahitian Noni you can only get through direct distributors—specifically the one from $550. All the actual, valid studies were conducted on that specific brand. It’s critical to remember that Noni shouldn't be grown in volcanic soil, otherwise, it's loaded with heavy metals and ends up doing more harm than good. If you're planning on buying any, stick to that Tahitian Noni. Keep in mind that you'll likely need to start with loading doses, then gradually scale down to a few ounces a day over several months. We go through three bottles a month.
You need to understand that this Noni is just something to help boost energy levels and support the immune system. Noni isn't a cure-all, and don't listen to anyone claiming it cures cancer. That's pure nonsense. Much like bioenergy, it simply creates the right internal environment so the body can start fighting the disease itself.
That bioenergetic practitioner isn't from San Diego; she's actually from Indianapolis, but she mostly works in Washington, D.C., traveling to San Diego, Indianapolis, and various other places across America. She spends most of her time in Washington, D.C. I'll PM you her cell number so you can give her a call and chat.
As for me, I consider Native Propolis to be the best alternative remedy out there. I am firmly convinced that my mother is still with us solely because of it. You can find everything you need to know about propolis, including patient testimonials, at www.hedera.hr. I’m naturally a skeptic, but this remedy found me via email ads that I used to delete without looking. The very day I finally read an ad and visited their site, the emails stopped coming. Whether it was coincidence, intention, or some higher power, I don't know—I just know it's incredible.👍

Alexander Lewis said:I frequently hear stories about patients who, because they couldn't get out of bed after surgery, ended up stuck with a catheter for several days. For those unfamiliar with the term, catheterization involves inserting a tube through the urethra and up into the bladder so urine drains into a bag, sparing an immobile patient from having to struggle to use the restroom.

This entire process is frankly degrading. Whether it's men dealing with insertion through the penis or women through the urethral opening, both scenarios involve intrusive handling of sensitive areas. I’m fairly certain that sick people aren't exactly thrilled by this; catheterization is uncomfortable, invasive, and often painful.

On top of that, there is a persistent risk of infection with every single catheterization. The longer that tube stays in, the higher the danger climbs. A urinary tract infection is miserable: the patient feels a constant, nagging urge to go, yet they can't. Because of that sensation, they become terrified of moving away from the bathroom, living in constant fear that they’ll lose control and soil themselves in front of everyone. Recovery is a long road, especially for men, due to poor blood flow in the prostate area which makes it highly susceptible to infection.

My impression is that catheterization is often forced upon patients by nursing staff. It’s simply easier for them—it keeps everything clean, prevents the patient from wetting the bed, and all they have to do is swap out the drainage bag once it's full. Unfortunately, this invasive procedure is permitted even when it could be avoided; in many cases, it would be perfectly fine to just give the patient a bedpan to use while lying down.

It is inhumane, risky, and humiliating, yet it’s frequently performed just for the convenience of medical staff. What are your thoughts on this?

I agree with you to a certain extent. While a catheter can sometimes be a necessary evil, it seems to me like it's more about making life easier for the hospital staff—they don't have to deal with changing soiled linens or diapers. And when you consider how hospitals cut corners on supplies and skip regular changes, you realize why people end up catching E. coli or other bacteria that leads to sepsis and death in elderly patients.
Luckily, I was aware of these risks while my mother was hospitalized with a catheter. Since they let me stay by her side from morning until night, I made sure to constantly flush her system with cranberry juice. I couldn't take any chances with an infection, especially since she needed to start chemotherapy as soon as possible.

Melissa Kim45 said:We blew past that deadline a long time ago.
I don't know about tomorrow, and frankly, I don't care. You can never, ever let go of the hope that "tomorrow" exists so you can just live your life—within the boundaries this situation forces on you.
Sure, there might be a few outbursts along the way.😁

Man, I wish we could just exist outside of all these deadlines and constraints.🙂
You definitely have to hang in there and stay hopeful, but the hardest part for my mom and our whole family was deciding which path to actually take, especially since the standard medical approach usually clashes head-on with alternative options.🙄

As for the outbursts? Those are just side effects of the fight. They’re inevitable, and honestly, they're almost necessary.😳

goldenotter252 said:Hi everyone...
Unfortunately, I’m joining this forum under pretty heavy circumstances... someone very dear to me has been diagnosed with lung cancer that has already metastasized to the brain (they actually removed that part of the tumor two days ago). Before they can move forward with lung surgery, they have to go through a grueling round of chemo first... I’m a total layman when it comes to all this and I really need some guidance... my family and I are looking into every possible avenue to get them better... we'd even consider alternative treatments... please, if anyone here has any experience (good or bad), let me know... I’m also hoping to connect with specific professionals (like Drago Plecko) who actually know their stuff... please send recommendations... thank you all so much...
and good luck...

I’m assuming we’re talking about small cell lung cancer. That specific type spreads incredibly fast, often hitting the brain early on.
If it is indeed small cell, the hard truth is that it's extremely aggressive; standard chemo and radiation usually just serve to slow down the inevitable rather than stop it. People call it the "100-day cancer" because, sadly, the timeline often closes in on you within that window.😳
My own experience with it was grim—a relative's husband lost his battle to it.
The only semi-positive outcome I ever witnessed involving small cell was when my mom went to see a fairly well-known bioenergetic healer. There was this woman from Miami with the exact same diagnosis who, faced with those bleak medical outlooks, turned away from conventional treatment to follow bioenergetics instead (though healers like that generally can't work on people who are already marked by certain energies, as it can backfire). She followed that path religiously for two full years, receiving daily treatments. At one point, she had effectively beaten the small cell stage, leaving only a small mass at the top of her lung which doctors recommended removing via surgery followed by more radiation. Everyone treated her like a walking miracle. Sadly, she refused that final surgical help because she was simply too exhausted to maintain such an intense bioenergetic regimen, and she eventually passed away due to complications three years after her initial diagnosis—all without a single metastasis in her body.
As far as alternative methods go, the only one I’ve seen show near-total success is that Breuss method, though it has to be timed perfectly—either right before chemo starts or within six months of the last session.
It's a double-edged sword. Since, from a strictly medical standpoint, this is a battle that's largely lost before it begins and time is your biggest enemy, maybe the Breuss approach isn't such a bad gamble.
Regarding Drago Plecko, I don't have a firm stance on him. He’s a pretty polarizing figure with a lot of contradictions. If you want, I can shoot you his email address via DM.
I wish you all the courage and wisdom in the world to make the best decision possible. Just remember you aren't alone; there are so many of us who have walked this path or are currently navigating this hell. The worst thing you can do is freeze up and make no decision at all; once things start moving, you somehow find a way to settle in and adapt.

Please accept my deepest condolences.

Your mother’s story is absolutely unbelievable😲. My amateur take? It sounds like she passed away from Sepsis OP triggered by some underlying complication that the doctors just couldn't pin down as the primary cause. If this is eating at you—and honestly, if I were in your shoes, it would be killing me—I’d suggest requesting an autopsy. That dehiscence issue was likely because the tissue was so diseased it simply started breaking down, making it impossible to hold the sutures together.
Her situation reminds me so much of my dear late neighbor, Mandica, who one day was hit with sudden vomiting and intense gallbladder pain. It turned out to be gallstones that caused cholangitis, which then migrated to the pancreas, causing inflammation that eventually spiraled into cancer. She spent four agonizing months in the ICU, and even though she had a solid pension and her brother was constantly throwing extra money at everything to try and speed up her care, the doctors were just completely overwhelmed.

steelbadger83 said:I can't keep up with everything here regularly, but I just want to tell the fighters (both those undergoing treatment and their families) to stay persistent, keep the faith, and maintain a positive mindset.

September 20th marked exactly one year since my very first chemo session (I went through 8 cycles and 30 radiation treatments). Right now, my meds are just hormone pills and injections, plus Herceptin every 21 days. Honestly? I feel fantastic. I’m living my life, working, and I don't spend my time dwelling on the illness. It was a chapter of my life where I learned a massive amount about myself—how to value existence and how to fight for my own sake—but it isn't something I want to obsess over anymore, nor do I want to live in fear of what might happen down the road. I’m just focused on living one day at a time, as if I have an eternity ahead of me.

Hey there, it’s great to see you back in the mix.😘
I am so glad to hear you're doing well, and I truly believe you'll keep feeling this good for a long, long time.👍

Gregory Miller4 said:Congrats! They finally found my E. coli.
I went through about 40 different tests, dropped a massive amount of cash on the whole ordeal, and somehow had the results sitting in my inbox the very same day. Aside from my bilirubin being slightly elevated, the only thing flagging on the report is the E. coli.
Honestly, I'm pretty disappointed. My symptoms don't really align with what that bacteria is supposed to do, so the whole situation still feels like a giant mystery...

Don't you dare congratulate me; I’m actually ready to cry from pure frustration🙄. This honestly terrifies me because I'm a complete amateur who just threw out a rough guess at a potential diagnosis, yet your primary care physician—with an actual medical degree after examining you over and over only to dismiss you as some crazy hypochondriac—didn't even consider that possibility, regardless of whether your symptoms perfectly match the textbook description👎. It's just more proof for my theory that doctors spend all their time learning how to deal with the average person rather than just studying within the walls of the NSA alongside other bookworms😳

northernfox9 said:Hey everyone.
I read through these threads every single day, even if I don't chime in much.
Things here in the States are hard to pin down right now, if I can put it that way.
Today marks day 18 of Dad's Brezhnev therapy. He’s dropped about 22 pounds so far. He's incredibly weak—his legs just won't cooperate, so he spends most of his time in bed, sitting up occasionally, and barely managing the trek to the bathroom. He says he has zero energy, which makes sense given he isn't eating anything, especially since his latest scans show the cancer has become aggressive again. He deals with intense bouts of pain periodically, but they tend to flare up and then vanish just as suddenly. They hit different spots too—one minute it's his leg, then his hand, then his shoulder... He also gets these weird sensations where parts of his body feel numb, lasting a few minutes before fading away. When the pain isn't hitting him, despite being exhausted, he still tries to do exercises in bed (he's a fighter!). He's having heavy bowel movements every other day, which is interesting considering he isn't taking in any food. Through all this, he hasn't felt hungry once (?!). Insomnia is also a major struggle. On top of that, there's a really strong odor coming from his skin, quite literally. I asked around with people who have done similar fasts for other reasons, and everyone confirmed this happens, so we aren't stressing over it anymore; we just make sure he bathes more frequently than usual.
Despite all that, some positive things are happening: he says his vision is much clearer, and that the "brain fog" has finally lifted. Before starting the therapy, his knees were killing him, but now that pain has subsided. All the swelling in his legs (knees and ankles) has almost completely gone down. His face is actually regaining a healthy flush; that sickly yellow-gray tint is fading day by day (his complexion was honestly gray-yellow before). Even his eyes look brighter.
We're praying every day for success and celebrating every tiny win.
I'll update you when we have more results.
Hang in there, and don't give up, just like you haven't until now... sending love!

It all manifests this way because the body is purging the cancer and toxins—essentially burning them out.
He just needs to persevere.👍

Based on my own terrible experience, my advice is simple: if this headache keeps up, he needs to head straight to the ER at a major hospital like Mayo Clinic. It’s just not right for this to drag on like this while medication fails to touch it. They can run a CT scan immediately to figure out what's actually going on. These kinds of headaches aren't something you joke about, and honestly, I think this whole idea of keeping a symptom diary is nothing more than absolute, utter nonsense.🙄

I had to bolt to Miami for two days to sort out my nerves, but I'm still keeping an eye on this thread. At least I finally caught up on some sleep.

I need to mention that we’ve had a bad experience with digestion while using Procter & Gamble. My mom used to have perfectly regular digestion and went every single day before starting it. Once we introduced the Procter & Gamble stuff, everything just went haywire. Since she can actually handle blended food, we decided to quit it for now, and she’s been having cream of wheat with milk in the morning. Naturally, her digestion is right back to normal.👍

Greetings from Miami, where the weather is gorgeous and way too warm. I’d honestly recommend that anyone who can spare even a little bit of time to just go relax should do it—it's absolutely vital to recharge your batteries for everything else life throws at you.
😘

goldenharbor6 said:Does anyone here know how to make sense of this CT report:

CEO: Severe depression
Brain CT performed:

On the scans, the infra- and supratentorial brain matter density looks completely normal.
The IV, III, and lateral ventricles are all fine—normal position, shape, and width.
The sulci on the cerebral convexity are deeper, especially in the bilateral frontal areas.

CONCLUSION/
The brain CT indicates early cortical atrophy, particularly in the bilateral frontal regions.

I’m trying to figure out where I can actually find some real info on "early cortical atrophy of the cerebral cortex." What does that even mean in plain English? Is there a way to prevent it, or maybe just slow it down—and if so, how? I've been digging around online, but everything I find feels super vague and doesn't really hit the mark.

If anyone has some helpful links or actual resources, please let me know. Thanks!

How old is the person who had the CT? Look, as people age, their brains age too, and these atrophic processes start showing up—it’s just a natural part of getting older.
I know similar things happen with conditions like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or multiple sclerosis, etc.

Found another thread on Reddit regarding Target here.

You can definitely get this medication in America. Roche has a major presence here, located at 123 Main Street in Chicago.

If you're looking into clinical trials or wanting to participate in one, your best bet is reaching out to them directly. That said, my gut tells me the main study is likely wrapped up since the drug has been in clinical use for a while now. However, if they happen to be testing a newer iteration, there might still be a window for another candidate to step in. Usually, the kicker with those things is that you haven't undergone any other therapies yet—they need a clean slate to actually get reliable data on what they're testing.

slyheron84 said:Does anyone know where I can order Target, what the price looks like, or how to get into a Roche study? Thanks!

I actually stumbled upon some info regarding that right here:

You should probably check in with the oncology department at Mayo Clinic to ask about this; they'll definitely know where the treatment is being administered if it isn't happening at their facility.

Gregory Miller4 said:My stomach isn't actually giving me any trouble.
I cut out dairy from my diet ages ago because it just doesn't sit right with me anymore.
When it comes to alcohol, it’s not my stomach that reacts—it’s more like my energy completely bottoms out and I get this sharp, weird pain in my upper abdomen. That's why I'm going to get my liver checked tomorrow.

Anyway, I'm going to run as many tests as possible at the lab tomorrow and I'll post the results once I have them.

Angela Wright and jadesailor14, thanks a ton!

That upper abdominal pain you're describing is your stomach area, whereas your liver is located on the right side, just under your ribs. Honestly, it sounds like a stomach issue to me, so make sure you ask them to test for Helicobacter pylori. If there were an actual problem with your liver, it would have shown up in those liver function tests you already had done, and those came back clean. Get an abdominal ultrasound; that way you can check your liver, gallbladder, and pancreas all at once.

Christian Wood63 said:r
Can someone please list out what actually feeds a glioblastoma? I need to know what to cut out because I might be making mistakes somewhere... cheers everyone🙏 😘 👍 😬 😎

Thanks for the response.

An old neurologist we used to see once told us to steer clear of anything containing Vitamin B16 (dimethylglycine), also known as DMG, since it supposedly fuels tumors. It’s mostly found in meat, which makes macrobiotics seem like an ideal way to eat

Could you look into whether you can find more info on that Drug candidate?

jadesailor14 said:but an allergy test isn't going to pick that up

Look, I mentioned milk because it's a major allergen, period—though honestly, there are ways to check for those sensitivities nowadays if you're looking into it. That’s why I think keeping a food diary to track how you feel after eating certain things isn't a bad idea at all. Grains can be just as much of a headache for some people.

Gregory Miller4 said:I honestly don't even know what I'd be testing for at this point. This whole thing has been dragging on for two years now, regardless of the season. I can't draw any lines between my symptoms and anything I do or eat. There are zero skin issues, nothing with my breathing, and I've tried every diet under the sun. I don't smoke, and frankly, I haven't even touched a beer in ages because it just makes me feel terrible.
It doesn't sound like an allergy to me.
Unless I'm somehow allergic to H2O or something?

On an allergy test, they throw dozens of different allergens at you and monitor how your body reacts. Look, you're constantly surrounded by dust, or maybe someone is allergic to dairy, or those dust mites that live everywhere. You don't necessarily need to have an asthma attack or a massive rash for an allergy to show up. You mentioned that beer hits you hard, so how is your stomach behaving in general? Helicobacter is also crossing my mind.

Have you gone for allergy testing yet?
Maybe you're reacting to something in the environment, and that constant fatigue and low-grade fever are just how your body is signaling the struggle.

Gregory Miller4 said:I’ve already had my thyroid levels checked twice—once at Mayo Clinic and once over at General Hospital. Those results came back perfectly fine.
I’ve also gone through the ringer with a head and spine CT, lung imaging, an echocardiogram, abdominal ultrasounds, and even tested positive for SID...

Have you actually screened for STDs?

I’m assuming you’ve already had a full blood panel done because your doctor sent you for one. You mentioned everything came back normal, but honestly, the only thing that jumps out at me is your thyroid. If I were you, I’d push to get a referral specifically for thyroid hormone testing. When your thyroid is acting up, it can wreck you—we're talking constant fatigue, shaky hands, heart palpitations, insomnia, or waking up drenched in sweat in the middle of the night. If your doctor won't take these symptoms seriously or tries to gaslight you, just tell them you want a referral to an internist for a second opinion. If they still refuse or act like you're losing your mind, grab your medical records and find a new doctor.
By the way, Mayo Clinic is excellent if you want to get a full physical done in a single day, though it isn't cheap. You should check their website for pricing first.
