Has Anybody Had Any Results From Using Miracle Mineral Supplement Aswell as Chemo for Lung Cancer?

by admin

I know the alternative treatments for cancer are a bit of a minefield, & sometimes just hype. But am trying to help out my mother with seeing what might be able to be used to combat Lung cancer (non-smoker), or at least assist with the chemo (taxol). Yes I know that you have to be wary of anything with miracle in the name. Any info would be gtreat.

Can cancer spread to the brain when someone is haveing chemo for lung cancer?
How do you deal with the fact, your mother is dying of lung cancer and her days have been numbered?
Is there anything out there to treat the symptoms of lung cancer?
If a person has lung cancer and lymph nodes are discovered there, can they be cured with radiation or chemo?
What are the chances of getting lung cancer after 30 years of being smoke free?

Panda June 7, 2009 at 7:02 am: One of the risks taken with unknown supplements and vitamins are what effect they will have on a cancerous growth . . . cancer is a persons own DNA that has mutated . . . what may be good for the body may also be equally good for cancer growth. So, in effect you may wind up doing the complete opposite of your intention . . so it is a minefield . . a real risk because there is no literature one way or the other . . in other words I am sure you are thinking that what harm can it do to give this substance a try . . well the harm is apparent if the supplement ends up promoting cancer growth or shortens the patients life considerably and they die from the supplement use.

If that isn't bad enough for you . . there are some mineral supplements that have been debunked, misused and have lead to patient death.
