Hey there!
Has anyone here actually tried ozone therapy before?
Hey everyone!
Got a few things on my mind:
-Ewing sarcoma—specifically metastatic, type 2. Can anyone dive deeper into this for me?
-What’s the consensus on using ozone therapy for people dealing with any kind of cancer? I’m asking because I personally know two kids who saw a huge boost from it, so I’m curious if anyone else here has gone down that road.
-Has anyone ever tried or used: Aloa arborescent, Ocean 21, or Oxi-Max?
Also, what about ozonated water? Apparently, you can pick some up at local health food stores and just add a few drops to a glass of water. Has anyone actually done this?

Thanks!

Honestly, you might want to just go see a gynecologist. Heavy bleeding can actually be caused by anemia, or even trigger it. It’s worth checking if there's an underlying issue on the medical side of things.🙂
Susan Bishop92 said:Who is milk actually meant for, and at what age?
Milk exists to feed a species' young. Naturally, during those early stages of life, all mammals rely on their mother's milk, but eventually, that milk diet stops. Humans are pretty much the only species out there still drinking milk as adults.
It’s just not natural for animals to be nursing as adults, and it's definitely not natural for them to drink the milk of another species. We are the outliers here.

The Dairy Lobby
The Dairy Lobby is one of the most powerful forces on the planet. Because they have so much sway, the truth gets buried, and most people grow up believing that milk and dairy are these "perfect" foods—not to mention how easy it is for science to be bought off in this industry.

Pasteurization
The whole marketing machine behind pasteurized dairy is one of the biggest scams happening today. People genuinely believe pasteurized milk is this healthy staple, but it's not. Sure, a cow would produce healthy milk if she weren't living in filthy conditions, pumped full of antibiotics, hormones, and steroids just to force rapid growth instead of grazing on green pastures. Pasteurized milk isn't doing our bodies any favors. Between the terrible living conditions for the cows and the processes of pasteurization and homogenization, you strip away almost all the nutritional value. Pasteurization nukes the enzymes, tanks the vitamin content, denatures delicate proteins, kills off Vitamin C, B12, and B6, and wipes out the good bacteria.

A little more on milk...
The chemical makeup of cow's milk is totally different from ours. It’s packed with casein, which is super hard for the human body to digest and leaves you feeling sluggish. Plus, dairy byproducts leave behind a bunch of acidic toxins in your system. One major issue with digesting milk is the mucus it creates. That mucus coats your membranes, which slows down nutrient absorption and wastes your vital energy. And because the calcium-to-phosphorus ratio is all messed up, milk can actually leach calcium right out of your bones. Studies have even shown that people who load up on milk and dairy products deal with higher rates of heart disease, arthritis, allergies, asthma, and migraines.
Milk is also linked to a ton of other health issues, especially when you consider that it carries pesticides, hormones, and various infections or diseases from the cows themselves.
A lot of people point out that eating dairy loaded with hormones is one reason why girls are hitting puberty so much earlier now.

Thanks for sharing this!
I’ve heard plenty of times that things like milk, chicken, and beef are loaded with hormones, causing kids to mature way too fast. There was even a recent study out of the United Kingdom linking dietary hormones to increased risks of breast cancer.
Honestly, I bet parents with hyperactive kids or children on the autism spectrum would have a lot to say about this, since milk shouldn't even be in their diets.
Milk is just harder to digest, which is why we see so many kids struggling with milk and dairy allergies.
I’ll admit, though, nothing beats a warm cup of homemade milk in front of the TV before bed. The only real thing the store-bought stuff has in common with the real thing is the color white.
Jerry Smith11 said:Our little Mo (13 years old) has been at Children's Hospital in El Paso for the last 7 days. It's soft tissue sarcoma near her left hip. We're just waiting on the biopsy results to come back in the next few days...

Please... help us. Once we get those results, what's our move? Should we just trust the doctors and pray to God, or...? I feel like we need a second opinion—but who do we even turn to? Can anyone give us some info?

Right now, some amazing people from the Krijesnica foundation are helping us out. I found Fajterica and her story, which was really eye-opening. Zanovidan.hr has also been a huge help for info on their site, though I can't get onto their forum right now...

This is all so new, so raw, and honestly, it's just too much. As parents, we're in total shock. But we're trying to keep our heads up and realize we have to start fighting. We just know we can't do this alone.

We are endlessly grateful for every word and every bit of help.
Thank you, kind souls.

You'll get a ton of information directly from the docs at Children's Hospital. Our daughter actually went through treatment there for Neuroblastoma. I know Neuroblastoma shares certain cell types with some types of sarcoma, but honestly, I don't know much about sarcomas other than they are treatable and that major surgeries for stuff like that often happen at specialized centers abroad.
The oncology department at Children's follows the latest medical protocols used across America and the rest of the world. Thanks to the doctors there, Krijesnica, and a few others, whatever is cutting-edge overseas reaches them pretty quickly.
There are several other parents at Children's dealing with similar situations who have been there for a while. Don't be shy—just go ahead and ask them for guidance or even just to hear about their experience.
Prayer definitely helps. Keep your head up and just keep moving forward. You’ll be in my thoughts and my prayers.
Nancy Hernandez43 said:sad, here's the sad part

...and that's just the one case that actually made the news.
Honestly, I've heard about similar situations way too many times, and I've even personally witnessed people acting like that toward kids.
I honestly wanted to reach out and say a few words of comfort... but I’m just struggling to find the right ones.
I never blamed anyone, but man, I was just so angry at the whole world. It’s one of those things you just have to ride out, I guess. There were moments where I didn't know whether it was worse to watch my little girl struggle without even knowing why, or to look at the adults who actually understood everything that was happening.
I just really hope you can find the strength to get through this. Try to channel every prayer, every thought, and every good wish toward your family—just to make things a little easier for them.🙂
Angela Wright said:Those doctors are clinging to their old ways like they're holding onto dear life. It’s honestly wild to watch.🙄
I’ve always been a huge believer in the underdog—that person who refuses to back down and goes looking for their own shot at life. When someone is facing cancer, most people just look at the statistics and give up, even the toughest, most stoic guys you know. It's heartbreaking. Of course, you get those rare cases where pure spite kicks in and they fight against all odds, but honestly, nobody stays indifferent when things get that heavy. That’s why I can't stand those survival stats; they’re usually more discouraging than helpful.
Look, if you want to actually get better, having a positive mindset and a solid support system matters just as much as the meds you're taking. It’s simple: if you’re feeling totally crushed inside, even the best prescription on the planet isn't going to do much for you. It's hard to heal when you're stuck in a dark place. Honestly, every single person I know who's been called a "medical miracle" had that same thing in common—they had good vibes around them and people in their corner cheering them on while they fought. In my book, that’s hands down the most important factor when you're fighting any kind of illness—even something as heavy as cancer—or just dealing with those brutal life situations that hit you out of nowhere.

I couldn't agree more with everything said above!
Just wanted to jump on here and share some amazing news—my girl just got her Goldman Sachs scan results back, and she’s totally clear! Thank God!
dustyranger11 said:Thanks so much for all the replies to my post. My dad is headed in for surgery tomorrow (or so they told him), and apparently, they might use a laser? I honestly don't know if that's better or worse. All I know is he's had this tumor for two years, and it hasn't really given him trouble until now. As for the throat issue, if they have to cut it out to stop it from spreading to his other organs, then let them. When he went to the hospital today (he was home over the weekend), he said he’s never felt pain this intense. It just breaks my heart. I don't have a mom, so I'm everything to him, which makes this a million times harder. No one else carries this weight for me. I have to do this alone. And it's his heart on the line. I don't even know who to turn to at Mayo Clinic. Nobody knows anything—only the doctors do, but they're never around. Once they finish rounds, they disappear into surgery. Maybe my dad would be better off at a specialized cancer center instead of Mayo Clinic. I haven't exactly had great experiences there. I don't know if I'm wrong, but that's just how it feels.

Chelsea, they gave my dad about a month to live nearly eight years ago. We dealt with a surgeon at Mercury and an oncologist at Mayo Clinic, plus the endless waiting games and praying to God.
Don't lose hope for a second. You've gotta stay strong for both of you right now!
quietraven6 said:Hey everyone.
A family member is heading in for an autologous stem cell transplant soon. If anyone here has been through this, please reach out and share what it was like. What does the process actually look like, what are the risks, and how effective is it really🤷? Thanks so much.

Hey there!
Stem cell transplants are done for people where surgery, standard chemo, or radiation won't likely lead to a full cure.
We were part of that group of parents who were just incredibly relieved to even get to this stage of treatment—our daughter actually went into remission.
In our case, they collected the stem cells from peripheral blood, but if you can't get enough that way, they go straight to the bone marrow.
The whole point of the transplant is using high-dose chemo—basically "mega-therapy"—to try and wipe out any remaining cancer cells. But because that destroys the bone marrow, you have to put the stem cells back into the body via transfusion so they can settle into the marrow and start making platelets, white cells, and red cells again.
With an autologous transplant (using your own cells), you don't have to worry about rejection. In super rare cases, you might have an allergic reaction to the fluid the cells are stored in, but that’s rare and easily handled while you're in the hospital.
While there can be plenty of complications, they're usually pretty uncommon. We're talking things like bleeding, serious infections, diarrhea, vomiting, organ damage, infertility, blood pressure swings, heart racing, or even liver/kidney failure—but those are extremely rare. Generally, this type of transplant leads to a much faster and easier recovery.
Here was our timeline: 8 days of mega-therapy, then the transplant, then recovery. For the first two weeks after the transplant, my girl and I were in total isolation. For the first four days, her white cell count was at 0.0; on day five it hit 0.4, and it climbed bit by bit every day after that. We finally cleared the worst of it once her neutrophil count stayed above 500 for two days straight. We spent a total of a month in the hospital.
I don't want to give the wrong impression—it was definitely rough. We dealt with deep aplasia, bleeding, fungal issues, and she didn't eat for a whole month... but since her kidneys were already struggling at 70% function and her liver and heart were already under stress, we were braced for things to be way worse. It actually went relatively well without major complications.
As for effectiveness?! There are parents out there who turn this down, but my husband and I truly believe God sent this transplant to us. Our chances at a total cure are much higher, and I honestly believe we beat the beast.
If you have more questions, just ask—I'm happy to help however I can.🙂
Betty Taylor51 said:I was wondering if anyone here has experience using that new "smart drug" Avastin to treat colon cancer.

There was an oncologist at the Mayo Clinic who spent about a year working specifically with Avastin. It might be worth checking in with them to get more details.
quietraven6 said:Hey everyone.
A family member is about to undergo a bone marrow transplant. If anyone here has gone through this, please reach out and share what it was like. I'm trying to wrap my head around how it works, what the actual risks are, and if it really makes a difference🤷. Thanks so much.

Here’s a photo of my little girl when she was barely three—she actually went through this process about a year and a half ago. I'm running around like crazy right now, so I can only jump on here in the evenings.🙂
I'd love to know how old the patient is and what specific condition they're treating?
Linda Peterson37 said:I’ve got a question—has anyone here dealt with neurosurgery in Indianapolis?
Thanks.

Hey there!
Look, some friends of mine had a nightmare experience with their kid in Indianapolis—it actually ended up in court.
The thing is, whenever things get serious, they just ship you off to Washington, D.C. to go to Rib anyway. In this specific case, the doctor in Indianapolis was basically playing scientist with their kid, even though the poor thing was already in critical condition. I don't even want to get into the details of what they went through.
On the flip side, I know some parents from San Francisco who were ready to fly straight to Germany and pay out of pocket for surgery, but the doctors there told them, "Why bother coming to Germany when you've got Paladin and Mitchell over at Rib?"
Good luck!🙂
Oleander poisoning: What to do? in Health ·
Carol Ramirez39 said:I actually dealt with an ivy poisoning case back when I was working on the ward. This girl drank some tea made from ivy and her heart rate absolutely tanked—dropped down to 30 beats per minute. They had to pump her full of meds just to get her heart rate back up, but after a couple of days, she finally pulled through. It can seriously be fatal.

She definitely went way overboard with it, probably way more than the suggested one or two leaves per liter... but hey, just wanted to make sure nobody gets any bright ideas based on this.😲
Oleander poisoning: What to do? in Health ·
I know oleander is straight-up lethal, but I honestly don't know what the symptoms look like. It’s wild because even just drinking water that sat in a vase with some oleander can be enough to kill you.
One of the main signs of oleander poisoning is diarrhea.

No offense intended, but I honestly wish I had that kind of problem...😁

Chris Morgan67 said:Just drive a family member to the ER at night—one of those hospitals where you actually have coverage.

If you have to, fake some intense pain or a seizure.

They'll end up keeping you overnight and running every test in the book.

Seriously, I did this exact thing with my old man, and it was only after they admitted him that they finally caught the illness he’d been struggling with for ages.

I totally agree with what was said above. Describe every single symptom you've got and tell them it hurts like hell. My family and I have actually used that tactic before just to get the specific tests we needed. It would be even better if you could pull this off at a major place like Johns Hopkins... maybe mention that you were just visiting someone and then suddenly the pain came back so bad you couldn't stand it.
Angela Wright said:Regarding Rifer, I know slyseal28's husband used it; he’s a huge believer and swears it really helped him out.
I've also heard shark cartilage works wonders on tumors. Apparently, sharks are one of the few animals that just don't get cancer, and people assume it's because of something specific inside their cartilage.
Do me a huge favor—if you don't mind, go ahead and log onto the association's website (just click my signature below). slyseal28 posted about Rifer over there, and honestly, we need as many stories as possible so people can find everything they need in one spot.

And goats don't get cancer either, plus transplanted cancer cells can't even survive in their systems!
Watch out when using Arnica—some folks around here call it Brđanka!
It actually works wonders for swelling caused by an injury. Just make sure you stick to 2-3 drops in a glass of water; otherwise, it can mess with your heart, especially if you're already dealing with the effects of chemo.
URGENT: Medical treatment in China! in Health ·
Hey everyone!
Back when I was at the pediatric oncology ward over at Mayo Clinic, I saw a handful of parents heading off to see a Filipino healer—I think they were charging about $110 a session. Others were running around seeing all sorts of bioenergy gurus or guys like Bratac.
Like I’ve mentioned before, those kids actually saw a tiny, temporary spike in their condition, but then came a crash so hard they wouldn't have made it out alive.
So, I'm leaving it up to you.

It reminded me of how researchers in the UK did this massive deep dive into pharmacies and shops in China. They checked out all the top-selling "miracle" supplements and found out that 85% of them were secretly loaded with steroids. Sure, they might give you a quick boost, but after that? Well, God help you.
