Question about how long you continued chemo??

There's been a lot of research lately, that seems to indicate that the
immune system can become sensitized to the chemicals given off
from dying cancer cells.

The problem with cancer, is that it's only one of our good cells
that's been damaged in such a way, that it can no longer respond
to our body's signals regarding how to stay behave, or remain alive.

The damaged cell then attempts to stay alive through a very basic
method called "the fermentation process". It begins to take in glucose
(sugar), stealing it away from our system, and using it in the fermentation
process to stay alive. The glucose is taken in, converted to lactic
acid by the cancer, and the lactic acid is converted back into glucose
by our liver.

Some people's immune system recognizes the damaged cell, and
removes it from their body. With other people (like me), the
immune system didn't pay attention to the damaged cell, and
allowed it to continue growing by it's own means. Those damned
cancer cells are lil' stubborn tykes! The want to survive, and manage
to do so pretty well!

The research now, seems to be indicating that our immune system
can often become sensitized to the chemicals that are given off by
a dying cancer cell, and use that sensitization to go after any other
cancer cells in our body.... any other cells that are giving off that
same chemical property.

That's pretty amazing stuff. It might be proving what's been noticed
by many researchers for quite some time...... That very often, after
"chemo" or radiation is used to successfully kill cancer cells, the
immune system seems to become energized, and does the rest
of the work by itself!

That happens -if- the immune system is strong enough to do so
after the chemo or radiation. It's another reason why the industry
is starting to use less treatments, and give some time between
treatments....

Our immune system is an inherent part of our survival. Too many of
us have overlooked that for too long. A healthy immune system may
not "see" a cancer cell initially, but it appears that it can be "taught"
to "see" a cancer cell, once it knows what to look for.

If that works out to be an absolute, then with all present cancer treatments,
"less" will indeed, be "more".



Just a lil' brain fodder!

Please.... please, please, please.....
For those that are considering stopping chemo...

You have cancer; It doesn't usually go away by itself.

Chemo can kill cancer tumors, and radiation can kill cancer tumors;
there are also other new techniques and procedures that will kill
cancer tumors..

And.... there are "other options" and alternative medicines that can
also kill cancer tumors and cells.....

No matter what you use, it is important to build up your immune
system as much as you can, if you expect to beat cancer. You can't
just stop everything and sit around waiting for the next shoe to drop.

So..... either add an alternative medicine to your kit, along with
the chemo you're sick of, or use an alternative instead, but please,
don't just sit around doing nothing.

A cancer cell doesn't stop trying to stay alive, and neither should you.
You have to do whatever it takes, just like that cancer cell is doing.

It's important to kill as many cancer cells as you can as fast as
you can. If you've been using chemo, then while you're taking that
"break" from chemo, try an alternative. You have nothing to lose,
and everything to gain.

But for cryin' out loud, don't quit -any- treatment and just sit and wait,
do something; try something else.
