They are finding that a lot of fist responders at Ground Zero at eh World Trade Center are coming down with leukemia. I am particularly interested in the effects of heavy metals toxicity and leukemia. I realize that once the cancer develops, it needs aggressive tretment to kill the cancer cells, but I am wondring if there is anyone out there who did heavy metals detox in addition to other treatments and whether it had a positive effect re: long term remission. I am also interested in any reports of alternative tretments which have helped, even adjunctively 'for exampole infra-red sauna every day is said to be extremely helpful with gently detoxing with all types of cancer. Does anyone have experience with low-dose chemo working together with an alternative approach.
Any info ibn this regard is very much appre3ciated.
