Dr. Couriel Discusses Treating GVHD With Photopheresis
Daniel R. Couriel, MD, Clinical Director, Adult Blood and Marrow Transplant Program, Unversity of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center, discusses the additional clinical value of photopheresis, an FDA approved treatment for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, which he encounters as a bone marrow transplant physician. Photopheresis can be used for patients with graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a common complication that occurs after a blood, stem cell, or bone marrow transplant. GVHD is characterized by selective damage to the skin, liver, lungs, and other organs. Couriel shares examples of successfully using photopheresis to treat common GVHD clinical manifestations in the skin and liver. He notes the skin complications improved but did not revert to normal. The most dramatic results were observed in patients with liver involvement. These patients often experienced a complete normalization of abnormalities after the use of photopheresis.

CyberKnife: Treating Lung Tumors Painlessly, But Effectively
Dr. Paul Gordon, cancer specialist in surgery at Advocate Christ Medical Center, describes the use of CyberKnife therapy for treating tumors, especially those of the lung. CyberKnife is proving particularly useful for senior patients who are not candidates for more standard surgical procedures. Research presented recently by Christ Medical Center physicians indicates that CyberKnife is as much as 85% to 90% effective in the treatment of lung tumors. www.advocatehealth.com
Tom Stefanow, Bonnie Brown, and Kim Murphy, cancer survivors, share their stories about receiving treatment at the McGlinn Family Regional Cancer Center at The Reading Hospital.

A few ideas to get truely cure the issue.
Tumor
Definition
A swelling. An abnormal formation of parasitic, non-inflammatory cells or tissue arising from the cells of the host, yet progressive and independent in their growth. Tumors can be malignant or non-malignant, they can be fast-growing or slow-growing, and they can be in many parts of the body, such as the lymphatic glands or nodes, the urinary and genital areas, or the abdominal structure.
Brain Tumors: The most common tumors of the brain are the meningiomas, derived from the coverings of the brain, and the gliomas. Sarcomas and cancers do occur but are almost always derived from tumors in other parts of the body, for example, the breast and the bowel. Tumors of any size and duration produce certain general symptoms indicative of an increase in the intra cranial pressure, namely, headache, vomiting and optic neuritis or swelling of the optic nerve just as it enters the eyeball. Dizziness is another common symptom, and in the late stages mental changes may occur. In tumors of the frontal lobe mental changes are sometimes the earliest indication of the disease process. Tumors of the temporal lobe often produce a dreamy state, sometimes associated with hallucinations of smell. The position of the tumor may often be determined by noting the muscular and sensory abnormalities of various parts of the body and correlating the findings with what is known regarding the localization of function in the brain.”
The brain must be properly nourished and kept free of inorganic materials that can cause this tremendous organ to malfunction.
Cause
The inability to eliminate unhealthy material.
Hundreds of women have wondered why they have tumors and cysts in their bodies. The cause, according to Dr. Christopher, is potassium deficiency. When a patient takes plenty of potassium foods (not supplements) you can remove the cause of the cysts and tumors. Other foods, which are lower in potassium, must not be increased when you are trying to increase the potassium in the system. When patients go on the three-day cleanse and mucusless diet and take the female corrective formulas [Nu Fem], they receive nourishment which is high in potassium. Miraculous things happen to them. For even faster results, you can add to each cup of herb tea six to ten drops of elderberry tincture or six to ten drops of black walnut tincture, both of which are extremely high in potassium.
Cysts and tumors are like leeches, but they stay in places where there is a body deficiency. As soon as the body is balanced and well, the cysts and tumors have to go, because the material is too healthy for them to live on.
This is why so many patients brought Dr. Christopher cysts and tumors in various sizes that they had expelled from their bodies. There is not enough food, in the form of dying or deficient body materials, so they just decide to leave.
There are several ways to receive your potassium. Dr. Bernard Jensen sells a potassium broth made from dehydrated vegetables. Dr. Bronner makes a similar, excellent product. You can also make your own potassium broth by simmering equal parts of red potatoes, celery, carrots, onions, and herbs to taste. Raw vegetable and fruit juices also flood the system with potassium.
When cysts or tumors grow in places where they can be seen outside the body, often we react by having them cut out. This defeats healing by working on the effect instead of the cause. You can cut cysts out, tumors off, and burn warts off (which are also a potassium deficiency), or get rid of as many moles as you wish, but unless you go to the cause, they will grow back again, and you may end up with as many or more cysts, tumors, moles as before. Different signs of potassium deficiency will keep popping out on the body because the condition that needs correcting is on the inside. You have to go into the cause, Dr. Christopher always insisted, which is the way we have been eating.
15.Chaparral: The Kelly Research Foundation in Grapevine, Texas has been active in cancer research. The following is a statement concerning chaparral by Dr. William Kelly:
“I’ve found that chaparral is very effective in 7% of the cases of malignancy. The action is not as many researchers believe–a specific activity against the cancer cell, but rather an indirect one. In about 7% of the cases of malignancy, the pancreas and the liver as well as other tissue of the body are so congested with poisons such as medications, sprays, drugs, metallic poisons, and pollutants, that these tissues cannot carry on normal activity. This is basically an antagonist to the enzyme and vitamin and mineral metabolism that goes on in the body. In cancer specifically, we find that the pancreatic enzymes are locked with the antagonists and are rendered totally ineffective. By chelating these antagonists from the pancreatic enzymes, we find that normal activity takes place and the person’s own cancer defenses take over and destroy the tumor in malignant conditions. It has been found further and should be seriously investigated by the Federal Government that Chaparral works well in chelating the toxins out of the bodies of those who have been drug addicts. We recommend taking two Chaparral tablets before each meal. This seems to be an effective way of chelating antagonists from the body that otherwise could not be accomplished.”
16.Cancer – Tumors and Cleansing the Body: Just a word about cancer. It is a systematic disease. It depends on filth in the bowel and the blood stream. Our understanding of cancer is different from that of the surgeon’s. We see the body being able to “clean up its act” and stop recycling the same old toxins around and around in the body. All channels of elimination (including the skin) must be functioning. The food intake must be pure.
Even though a person is operated upon for a cancerous tumor, there is no guarantee that the cancer will not return simply because the cause was not studied.
“Cancer” is a frightening word. The one we use is “cell deterioration.” This explains the process in the body more clearly than the word, “cancer.”
Sometimes, during an operation for a tumor, blood spills over into the rest of the body. This blood contains some of the tumor cells. The doctors sometimes say, “Oh, the body will take care of those.” Mendelsohn suggests that surgery would be unnecessary if the body could take care of the cells by itself.
The medical alternative to cancer surgery, chemotherapy, presents side effects that sound like horrors out of an old Frankenstein movie.
Our program, “The Incurables,” is a safe, nontoxic method to restore health and strength. It is not as easy as surgery, however, it involves retraining the little tyrants known as the tastebuds.
Remember the old Biblical statement from the Old Testament, “If the eye offends you, pluck it out!” This phrase seems to be the general rule in most allopathic treatment from tumors to tonsils. We now view the old medical practice of bloodletting (to let out the bad blood) to be primitive. How much more primitive it is to exclude an entire organ from the body as punishment for its diseased condition. An automobile will not function without a carburetor. A faulty carburetor can be replaced, rebuilt, or cleaned out and the car will run again. The design of the auto makes it necessary for each part of the engine to be integral. Parts cannot expect to be ripped out of the system and still have good driving possibilities. Every human organ is functional and contributes to the smooth operation of the entire organism. It’s erroneous to think that removal of an organ is standard procedure. Surgery is no replacement for cleansing and rebuilding the body. We need to work with Nature instead of trying to second guess it.
17.Tumors on the Pineal and/or Pituitary Glands: From a letter to Dr. Christopher about a person in a coma. At the end of his answer he mentions that this same program can be used successfully with someone with tumors on the pineal and/or pituitary glands. Here is the question: If a person were in a coma caused by some hemorrhaging in the brain stem area, how might this be approached herbally?
Dr. Christopher’s answer: We have an herbal formula we call “bone, flesh and cartilage” that has been used successfully in these types of conditions. Make a tea of the following herbs: six parts oak bark, three parts marshmallow root, three parts mullein herb, Two parts wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), one part lobelia, one part scullcap herb, six parts of comfrey root, three parts walnut bark, three parts gravel root . Soak the combined teas in distilled water (at the rate of one ounce of combined herbs to each pint of distilled water), then soak four to six hours, simmer slowly thirty minutes, strain and then simmer the liquid down to one half its volume and add one fourth vegetable glycerine (if desired). Example: one gallon of tea simmered (not boiled) down to two quarts and add one pint of glycerine.
Soak flannel, cotton or any white material other than synthetics–never use synthetics. Wrap the fomentation (soaked cloth) around the head area (like a nightcap), tied under chin to hold in place, also down the spine to the shoulders. The fomentation down the spine should be about four or five inches wide. Put a shower cap over the head and a piece of wax paper, oiled silk or plastic down the spine area. Keep this fomentation on the area approximately twelve hours each day, either during sleeping hours or during the day–whichever is more convenient. Drink 1/4 cup of finished concentrated tea with three fourths cup of distilled water three or more times a day. Do this entire program six days a week, week after week until healed.
This routine has been used with cases of tumors on the pineal and/or pituitary glands, and these tumors have decreased–in one case over 65 percent in six weeks, then over another month was completely gone. This herbal formula will aid in rebuilding the hemorrhaging area with surprising results.
18.Juices: Carrot, spinach, pineapple.
19.Organic Potassium: Cancerous tumors have a very difficult time growing when there is the presence of organic potassium in the body, so the tinctures of black walnut or elderberry or any other foods high in potassium can be helpful here, providing that the bowel is in good condition so that proper assimilation can take place.
20.Dr. Christopher’s Glandular Formula and Dr. Christopher’s Red Clover Combination and Breast Tumors: When there is any problem with the breast, and this should be noticed early, we use the fomentation of 3 parts mullein and one part lobelia over the affected area. It may be taken internally as well. Many Indian tribes have used a fomentation of poke root externally to draw out the cancer. As with all cancers, they begin in the blood stream and radiate out to other parts of the body where they are manifested. The Red Clover Combination can be used to purify the bloodstream, the nutrient transport system of the body. Cysts and tumors will not grow in an atmosphere where there is enough potassium. Elderberry tincture can be taken for potassium increase along with foods that are high in potassium
Testimonial
1.Comfrey: Dr. Charles MacAllister, M.D., was interested in the use of comfrey as a healing agent. He had written a paper in the 1896 edition of the British Surgical Journal, Lancet. In it, he gave his philosophy concerning the bloodstream and irregular cell growth. Dr. MacAllister wanted to look up his paper and noticed an article in the same issue by a Professor William Thompson, President of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. Thompson recorded a case of a man who had been diagnosed as having a malignant tumor on his face. The patient had undergone surgery of the palate in an attempt to remove the cancer.
A month later, the cancer returned. This time it ran rampant throughout the patient’s head. They gave up on cutting it out. It had gone too far, and they sent him home. Three months later he returned to Thompson’s office and was examined. Thompson noted that the cancer had completely disappeared. The patient told Dr. Thompson that he had been applying comfrey poultices to the swelling and that it had gradually disappeared. The patient had a custom-made palate to fill in the hole left by surgery of the hard palate. Thompson states in the report that although he knows nothing of the use of comfrey, he does not believe that it would remove a sarcomatous tumor.
MacAllister was inspired by that article of Dr. Thompsons and began to wonder if there was actually anything in comfrey that would control or stabilize cell growth. He began an extensive study of comfrey although he had never before heard of its use as a medicine. Beginning with old books on materia medica (substances used medicinally), MacAllister found that after the mid-nineteenth century, comfrey or Symphytum was referred to as obsolete as a healing aid. He then began to search through the ancient and medieval herbals which told the history of the use of comfrey. There were several varieties of the plant used, one was known to Turks and Saracens for use in healing battle wounds.

How important is a diagnosis in treating respiratory diseases?
Question by h: How important is a diagnosis in treating respiratory diseases?
I have smoked from the age of 11 (a pack a day since 14) and am now 34. I get bronchitis 2-3 times a year, usually for at least a month. I had pneumonia as a child. No members of my immediate family have suffered from respiratory problems, apart from an uncle who died of lung cancer after a lifetime’s work in a lab.
My GP has prescribed me Ventolin and antibiotics for my current bout of bronchitis. (I quit smoking five days ago, using NRT – not for the first time.) She asked me if I had asthma. I have no idea: when I was tested using spirometry by a nurse one year ago, it was her first time ever using the machine. She wasn’t sure herself whether she’d done it right, and nothing was entered into the record.
On my most recent visit to the doctor’s, I couldn’t breathe well enough to use the spirometer without breaking into a coughing fit. When I asked what I had, she said ‘the treatment is the same, it doesn’t matter what the diagnosis is’.
I’d like to know how true this is. I found some things online that suggest using this approach to diagnose isn’t advised (i.e., comparing breathing function before and after medication).
I could have asthma, simple bronchitis, or something more frightening, and I’m scaring myself silly.
To be honest, I’ve never experienced treatment much better than this in my time in the UK. I’m sure the NHS has good doctors; I’ve just not lucked into them. Will look and see what I can do.
Best answer:
Answer by Hannah H
Let’s use a little common sense. Of course the diagnosis matters. There are a million different medications and a million different respiratory diseases. This goes for pretty much all of medicine. If I have a cold, I won’t be taking antibiotics, because they’ll do me no good. Seriously.
Even people with the same disease use different treatments. For example, Asthmatic A might just use albuterol (aka ventolin) before exercising, but Asthmatic B might need Flovent along with albuterol, while Asthmatic C might do better on Advair.
Personally, I’d switch doctors.
Edit: Yeah, I’ve heard NHS can be tricky. Can you get a referral to a pulmonary specialist?

Why is there always zero progress in treating cancer?
Question by kingoftown77: Why is there always zero progress in treating cancer?
We’ve heard about it in the news for the last 40 years- “Scientists discover a new way of fighting cancer.” We hear about a new one several times a year at least.
But in the end, these “discoveries” always fizzle away, never to be heard from again, and people still have go through chemotherapy, which in the modern age seems like a barbaric and old-fashioned way of getting cancer treatment.
What inevitably happens to these “new discoveries”? Are they always proven ineffective? Are lobbyists blocking them?
Best answer:
Answer by Lily L
Yeah, the “new discoveries” are usually diappointing. Read more closely and you’ll find that mostly they give people a few more months to live at best.

My dog was diagnosed with very progressed cancer of the lymph nodes, know any alternative methods of treating?
Question by ~jeweler babe~: My dog was diagnosed with very progressed cancer of the lymph nodes, know any alternative methods of treating?
My poor baby Katie was diagnosed with cancer of the lymph nodes, given about a week to a month. Maybe a year with chemo, $ 150 a week. Do you know of any alternative methods of treatment? We are going to give her fish oil, MMS, flax seed oil mixed wih cottage cheese……ANYTHING you know that can help treat cancer, PLEASE HELP ME!! OMG OMG OMG, I am so sorry…….I am in tears writing this. Any help is greatly appreciated, I am so distraught…….
She has a good appetite right now and has gained 6 lbs in a week and a half, and she has been asking to be exercised a lot….wants to go on walks and play ball, still gets after critters in the yard and never stops wagging her tail. The vet said that normally dogs are very sluggish and lose of appetite, and loose weight. So that may give us a little more time. She is not in pain right now, and I will not keep her in pain for the sake of selfishness on my part to not let go. We had a bout of cancer with our other dog Izzy in early May, a 4″x4″ tumor removed. Vet said she will live another ten years and is in the best health he has ever seen at her age (9) . So I know when to let go, I love her too much to hurt her like that.

Best answer:
Answer by Panda
You probably won’t like what I am going to say, but I come from a perspective that cancer is a killer. It is swift and can be horrific. There is also very very little time to sit around and experiment with treatment to ‘see if it works’. Because cancer kills we have concentrated strictly on treatments that can be documented as far as efficiacy and safety are concerned. There is no sense in wasting precious time on a treatment if there is no documentation or literature that will back up effectiveness. And further . . even when we were faced with the prospect that the treatment was not stopping the progression of disease we felt that a clinical trial was the best way to go . . not because it might ‘cure’ our son . . but because it would document critical information about the disease and what would worked or did not work during that treatment. Documentation, literature, research, and clinical trials are the only way to finding a ‘cure’ for cancer . . let’s cut out the ‘guessing’ and the theories and go with factual evidence.
Despite several different types of herbs or spices that may complement cancer treatments . . and despite research . . Ayurveda medicine still cannot provide any reliable documented evidence that it ‘cures’ or even has any significant impact on the treatment of cancer.
(this is not the same thing as people thinking or believing that it does . . there is no scientific evidence that it does).

American College of Physicians: New Clinical Recommendations for Diagnosing and Treating COPD
The American College of Physicians (ACP), American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP), American Thoracic Society (ATS), and European Respiratory Society (ERS) today released a joint clinical practice guideline on diagnosing and treating stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Annals of Internal Medicine, ACP’s flagship journal. ACP convened the four organizations, which represent more than 170000 physicians from around the world, to develop the joint guideline. “This clinical practice guideline aims to help clinicians to diagnose and manage stable COPD, prevent and treat exacerbations, reduce hospitalizations and deaths, and improve the quality of life of patients with COPD,” said lead author Amir Qaseem, MD, FACP, PhD, Director of Clinical Policy, American College of Physicians. “It is important for patients with COPD to stop smoking and for physicians to help their patients to quit smoking.” COPD occurs predominantly in cigarette smokers. COPD symptoms include chronic cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, or significant activity limitation.
Lisa Lavange, biostatistics professor and Collaborative Studies Coordinating Center director, describes research involving the US Hispanic population and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Treating the Pain of Mesothelioma
Treating the Pain of Mesothelioma
Article by Agatha Simona
Receiving a diagnosis of mesothelioma is very hard. Because mesothelioma has long periods of dormancy, by the time the disease is discovered it could already be causing difficulties. This period can last twenty years after the initial exposure. The diseases can take place in many different places on the organ walls.The hard of managing the cancer comes after the diagnoses.
Treating mesothelima can consist of many different therapies, being performed by many different doctors all aimed at reducing the effect of the disease in all the affected body parts. There are many treatments available although all of them need good pain management; there is a lot of pain that come with mesothelioma. There are two reasons that finding the right kind of pain management is important. Firstly well done pain management can accelerate the healing process. Secondly it makes the treatment bearable.
There are three different levels of pain a person might experience from mesothelioma. Chronic, acute and breakthrough pains that come at different times from person to person. The pain comes from the treatment itself and the actual pain of the cancer cells dividing.
Chronic pains last over a long space of time. You might feel it rise and ease off but it is constantly there. This kind of pain will affect many different areas of life, from eating to sleeping. Chronic pains are best managed in totality because there is a risk of remaining in pain indefinitely. Pain killers should be prescribed by administrative professionals.
Acute pains come quickly and are very intense. They last only a short bit of time however. Since acute pains come from seemingly out of nowhere they are thought to be handled with oral pain medication. However some breathing techniques and relaxation methods can help.
Breakthrough pains come through taking medications meant to treat other pains. It is not as serious as the other two but it is still hurting. Breakthrough pain is also best handled through medication. These instances require the medication to be administered with maximum impact to put an end to it.
In all three different types of pains felt during mesothelioma treatment it is clear that there are solutions. Pain is a very unpleasant aspect of life that the cancer patient has to live with more than most. One of the most important aspects of dealing with the pain of mesothelioma is by attending therapy to deal with all the feeling and emotions that come with pain.
