My Mum has just been diognosed with cancer for the third time, this time it's the worst it's ever been, in her lungs, liver and back.
She has already had radiation therepy and next week she starts Chemo but once that has finished it will only have shrunk the cancer and there is nothing more they can do.

I'm wondering if anyone knows any herbal/natural things one can take or try.
 
Diet(inc. fasting), prayer, exercise and nature, as well as wanting to be gracefully rid of cancer.
There are lots of therapies available, one just needs to avail oneself of them.
Best wishes,
:)

Best wishies to you and you Mom, honestly. I had cancer when I was younger and the one thing that really helped me was to focus my mind on the present and be with friends. If she focuses on the now and does not worry about the future it will let a lot of stress off her mind. Tell her to be happy for today, and do something nice for her, as well as the rest of the family if they are present. Smiling and allowing joy into your heart is the best medicine you can give her. Me and my Aunt both beat our cancer, and the docs pretty much said they were "unbeatable". Forget about science, and live life in the here and now, and bring your Mom with you.
Peace.
 
Thanks for the replies, my Mum is the most positive person I know and usually practices meditation, problem at the moment is she is in alot of pain and struggles to get around ie needs a walking stick to get from the lounge to the bathroom and then is very tired, when 3 weeks ago when the pain had just started in her back she walked everywhere including walking my large energetic dog daily.

This has just given me a good idea though of setting up the loungeroom a little bit better so she can meditate in there on a daily basis. I also will be trying to get all the ingredients to start practicing Agnihotra (a fire healing ceremony) on a daily basis which can heal the environment as well as everything within it creating a biosphere approximately 500m in radius and 12km upwards.

Anything that can help.
 
Its a good Idea to keep your mums energy levels up when she's feeling low and lethargic, a good way to do this is to modify your diet to a high protein and high calorie diet through healthy foods.

Try making her frequent snacks instead of one huge meal Cancer and Food Link (excellent)

You can also do a variety of things to help the pain, besides Medication:

* Heat packs (not hot water bottles)
* Massage
* Meditation ( as youve already mentioned), Breathing exercises etc.
* Repositioning frequently in bed as required

I'll give you this link which has a list of Information and further links you can access

These are Australian Websites but they are Very good and Healthful, Please read through them :)

I wish you all the best :)
 
If I were to get cancer the only cure would be a bullet in the skull, but that's just my opinion. If she were to have chemo and make the cancer shrink, could they not operate, and wouldn't it be more effective seeing as there is less of the cancer?

I don't want to sound rude, but multiple well-controlled studies find that how happy someone is has no influence whatsoever on their prognosis for cancer.
 
doofhard -- be very careful about claims which have no basis in science. Science just about explanation; at it's core, science is about verifying experimental results. Many, many people can come forward and claim that some alternative therapy cured their cancer, but at the end of the day all of this stuff turns out to be no better than placebo when properly scrutinised. A lot of people make huge amounts of money preying off people with cancer, because those people will pay anything to fix it.

That's such an insensitive and completly unhelpful thing to say, what is more valuable than life? My Mum is a fighter and values her life and i'm sure glad about that.

This is the third time she has had cancer, first time, lost a breast, the chemo almost killed her, had to have 2 blood tranfusions and was in intensive care for quite some time and it badly damaged her heart. They actually told her that her heart would never work at more than 80% again.

Then the seccond time due to how bad the chemo had effected her in the past she had radiation therepy to shrink it and then it was removed.

About 2 months ago she went for a check up was given the all clear and told her heart had made a full recovery and working at 100%.

A little over a month ago she woke up with a sore back and in just over a week it had become so bad she got stuck and couldn't move and we had to call an ambulance, they did some tests and told us the bad news.

Yeah cancer is terrible but it's something you need to fight and they are constantly trying new drugs that might just be the cure.

While I agree with you scientifically, what would you rather? Live with cancer for 3 years thinking there is no hope, or hope? I know what I"d choose... I would fight with every inch, every hope there is. I don't know who's 'preying' on cancer victims but most of the remedies suggested are normal herbs and vitamins... no complementary medicine company is allowed to market their products for cancer, ever, it is a Level 1 restricted claim (I have been working in this industry for 4.5 years).

If there are people out there saying their product cures cancer, let me know - I'd like to report them to the relevant authorities.

I am a true skeptic as well but I do know people who have gone into remission while trying diet, excercise, supplements and meditation. One might say they would have gone into remission anyway, but if you are dying, what would you do? With your intelligence too, surely you acknowlege there are some things science can't verify but also can't deny (the power of mindset may be one). ;)
 
^^ (edit not meant for slm) Positive thinking and alternatives dont actually Cure the cancer, as Im sure everyone is aware...


..but a large part of it is promoting comfort, Positive thinking and someone's mental state can play a large role, it can give you the strength to go on.

I have personal stories of individuals I have met that had several types of advanced cancer/mets with a negative outcome and have survived to tell the story.

Doofhard has mentioned that after the next treatment there is nothing further they can do. Hope is a wonderful thing :) never let go of it
 
Here's a really great one: STOP EATING MEAT.

Seriously.. it's linked to heart, colon cancer, and a lot of other fun diseases.

THC is also [kinda] proven to reduce cancer growth.

Personally, if I were to be diagnosed with cancer, I'd smoke a lot of weed, go vegan, eat cloves, garlic, black walnut.. load up on antioxidants & nutrients.. and stay positive!


edit: after reading thru the cancer & food link, I can't keep from noticing the recurring theme of vegetables and fruits playing a role in fighting cancer. You mean meat and animal products don't help? They might be HARMFUL?
 
I would imagine a postive mental state, through prayer or meditation (or whatever) would be most beneficial..the thing is..how does one get to a positive place during such a trying time? I dont know if Id be able to.

I'm struggling
 
Since you are asking for a natural remedy, perhaps you should look into Hoxey. Whether or not it does anything is controversial as is the case with most natural remedies. I do alot of work with animal rescues and anytime we have one that has cancer we use hoxey. In almost every case, it has at least doubled the life expectancy of the animal. We have at least one cat on Hoxey at the moment. He was given 6 months to live 2 years ago and is still doing well. A google search can give you more info on it.

I wish you, your mother, and your family the best.
