Hi There, I'm from England and want to share my breast cancer story. I have been TOLD that I have got to take Tamoxifen for 5 years after surgery for a small lump. There is no easy discussions with oncologists here, they tend to tell you the treatment that you will have. Statistics are hard to find and the medical profession here are not into alternative therapies. I have an enlarged uterus and many fibroids but have not caused any health problems. Started taking Tamoxifen for a month and my abdomen went as tight as a drum and it felt like my uterus and fibroids swelled up!!  It was horrible. So after one month I stopped the drug and read up on the side effects. Decided that if I continued with Tamoxifen I'd end up with a hysterectomy  and perhaps other nasty things...... so Have been off the drug 3 weeks now and feel like my old self again. Am going to a homoeopath to help shrink my fibroids and also a herbalist to help with reducing estrogen. Am dreading seeing my oncologist as will have a battle about going back on a drug of sone kind. But have decided that I'm going to do this with alterbative medicines

Anyone with similar story?

Oncologist or serial killer? CO-Q10 (best in its dry powder form of capsules) at high dosages (say 200mgs 3xdaily) can be of considerable help and I would suggest that this should form part of your therapy. Baking powder is also recommended but usually needs to get close to the site of the cancer. It could be worth trying it in your drinking water; the tip of a teaspoon to a glass of water. Where possible stop taking anything with polyunsaturated or transfats as they suppress the immune system. Ramp down on your carbohydrates which turn to sugar in the body and it is known that cancers feed on sugar. The amino acid l-arginine increases the blood oxygen and oxygen kills cancers. Food quality hydrogen peroxide (not the stuff from the chemist) also increases the body's oxygen. Only the smallest amount, a small teaspoonful to a glass of water daily should help. Fresh red peppers have the reputation for curing cancer. Take out and discard the seeds and chew a small piece of the pepper with a lump of strong cheese to help as it is very hot on the mouth. You might also consider taking coconut, preferably but not essentially it virgin oil, together with olive leaf extract and capsules of virgin oregano oil. The combination of those three clears the body of many of its parasites and other one-celled organisms. There are other natural substances which I cannot readily recall but that's my recommendation. One small caveat, this does not come with a guarantee but, it should help and is unlikely to do you harm. If it helps do let it be known on this site.

 I am a 4 year breast cancer survivor and have been on Tamoxifen for 3 of those years.Yes,I have some crappy side effects but my favorite one is that it keeps me alive.I had much rather live with it than die without it.It's track record speaks for itself.I am just as keen on alternative and natural remedies but cancer is too serious to play with.They say an apple a day keeps the Dr away but that doesn't mean to eat an apple and throw away your medication.I believe they should be used together,to enhance one another.I am not willing to die at 33 years old without doing all I can.If I need to have a hysterectomy,that's fine since I already had both breasts removed.It is wonderful that we have some natural remedies that do help but don't you think if any of them cured cancer,it would be proven and not a wait and see thing.Good luck,I hope things work out for you because wasting away from cancer is horrible.My disease may spread but it won't be because I waited on broccoli to cure me.

That's great that you were able to survive breast cancer.  I do know several women that have survived breast cancer, even advanced breast cancer who cured themselves naturally. Its not about eating broccoli. There are many things one can do. Alkalizing diet & water, clearing house of chemicals, cleaning out your mouth from mercury, gold, filings, doing a parasite cleanse, and building up the immune system. All of them used high doses of vitamin D and the ones with more advanced cancer used Vitamin C IV pushes. Getting lots of rest and clearing self of stress.

If you google Dr. Hulda Clark and take a look at her website or perhaps pick up one of her books, she makes a lot of sense. We damage our cells, organs, blood, etc with harmful chemicals & metals, then we pick up a parasite fluke and in combination with some sort of radioactive exposure, we can create a cancer complex.

Her research is thorough and conclusive.

And the reason there is no "cure" for cancer is because its big business. Think of all the money that is raised for cancer awareness. All the "pink" products sold, all the marathons that raise money, all the donations cancer research profits year after year...why they heck would they EVER want to find a cure? If they found a cure through natural ways, then they wouldn't be able to sell you your Tamoxifen drug or give you chemo or radiation. That would be a huge drop in revenue.

Its going on to 2010, its honestly shocking to me  that I read something like your post and I realize...WOW, people still don't see it, how can this be?. When is the general public really going to catch on to the big scam? I saw this back in 1997 loud and clear when I started curing myself of illnesses through natural and homeopathic ways. 

With the internet and people like Dr. Mercola getting the awareness out there and really breaking down the lies that are told through media and marketing, I would think that we would be a bit more advanced than this.

I don't mean to bring insult to you. Its just really shocking to me because its so blatant what is going on out there.

Dr. Mercola seems to have a lot of great stories and evidence around all topics mentioned.

As for baking soda, this makes a lot of sense to me because it alkalizes the system. Dr. Hulda Clark emphasizes the use of baking soda to replace all sorts of products we use in our homes and on our bodies. The important thing is that its aluminum free. 

Its fascinating and having an open mind and really taking a look around at your environment and doing research on what you are putting in your body is the responsible thing to do. Who knows, you may find something that can help someone else.

Good luck!

Hello - I had a ultra sound on Friday and the Doctor told me that I need a biopsy to determine if it is cancer. The lump is on my left breast about 5mm in the 1:00 location. He told me that the ultrasound shows both good tissue and cancer tissue. I do not want a biospy due to all the warning on mercola site of this possiblity speading. I have 3 wonderful girls who are 2-4 and 6 and a wonderful husband, I am very afraid. I feel like crawling in a ball and crying - do you think one of your friends can help me.

Please someone help me

Helives, Note my submission of the 2 March; the comments of which remain appropriate. A considerable number of health problems arise from diet so look closely to what you are eating. Today's conventional Western-type diet is far removed from our ancestral one which is the diet we should be following for the greatest health benefits. Forget about vegetarianism or any of today's so-called healthy diets which are designed and guaranteed to bring in their wake ill-health. How many vegetarians do you know who have reached advanced old age; not many I would guess. Our bodies desperately need protein and saturated fats (the body's natural fuel for energy) so ensure that some is taken everyday in your food. Almost all processed foods are harmful and cooking destroys much of the food's nutritional value. Cancers are deemed to be caused by bacteria or viruses but it seems that viruses are simply modified bacteria which, if my memory is correct, are reckoned to be pleomorphic which simply means that they are highly adaptable to their environment by readily changing size or form. Bacteria finds a host in our bodies on which they survive in a form controlled by the immune system but when the body is beginning to succumb to the constant bombardment of daily toxicity (mainly from diet but not solely) those little varmints take charge so the message is, look closely to your diet. Avoid especially all polyunsaturated fats which are potent immune suppressors. Ramp down on all sugars and carbohydrates (which turn to sugar in the body) and while it is difficult to do this, simply make certain that those highly addictive substances are treated only as a luxury. Among the many problems sugar causes it also appears to have an immediate impact on suppressing the immune system. A common feature that those bacteria use to prevent the immune system from controlling them is to hide themselves in a skin or layer of protein and this applies to cancers and this is where alternative medicine is found to be beneficial. There are many natural foods that can destroy this layer of protein and so allowing the immune system (if it is not too depleted) to do its task, which it does effectively and efficiently. Possibly one of the best substances at removing this protective protein-layer which viruses hide behind (my favourite) is virgin coconut oil. This is dosage dependent so the more taken the greater the benefit. Coconut has the same fatty acid profile as mother's breast milk and one of those fatty acids, known as lauric acid, destroys this layer of protein exposing the virus to the immune system which then kills it. Additionally, inflammation usually accompanies illnesses and again there are natural substances that can reduce inflammation and enables the body's healing processes to be more effective. The enzyme serrapeptase (generic name) has a few interesting health benefits one of which is that it is an anti-inflammatory (best taken on an empty stomach at 25 mgs or 40000 units or more if appropriate). Other substances like bicarbonate of soda, silver water, hydrogen peroxide, iodine, olive leaf extract, raw ginger, and red peppers, to name but some, are excellent at removing bacteria and other like pathogens or micro-organisms from the body. It is also known that eggs, chicken (unable to say whether they are battery reared or free-ranging or both) and mushrooms, possess the cancer virus but of more concern, all pork has it, and after eating pork the virus remains in the body for up to 9 hours. Presumably, during this time, if the immune system is compromised severely through certain other foods then this may allow the virus to take hold and cause the cancer, so again, look to your diet. On this Web site of Dr Mercola's there are many suggestions on how to tackle cancer in an effort to cure it. Hopefully this information together with that of my earlier submission will provide you with the alternative to rid you of those breast lumps or whatever they may be. The stronger the immunity the greater the likelihood of survival (even in allopathic medicine this is recognised but, regretfully, seldom practiced). Incidentally, activated charcoal is deemed to be excellent at the removal of poisons from the body so you may wish to use this as part of your regimen but take it separately from medication as it may make the medication ineffective. Finally, the cure for cancer has been known since the early 1930s but its information has been ruthlessly suppressed and the politics and in-fighting of this continues today. Drs Rife, Beck, and Clark are some of its pioneers and their treatments have proved to be effective and comes under the term 'electric medicine'. There may seem rather a lot here to assimilate but hopefully the information will face you in the right direction. I wish you well
