Mangosteen against metastatic liver cancer?

We got a comment from Nancy, promoting magosteen against cancer at Primary and secondary liver cancer treatments.

If you want to promote anything that works 100% against metastatic liver cancer, please let us know and we will add it for FREE.

Otherwise please spend $10, click here and put your link instantly.

Nancy’s liver cancer story

My grandmother died of liver cancer in 1990 -no drinking, no hepatitis C. She went really fast.

I’m glad that there’s a blog like this getting the information out there on different treatments.

Anyhow, I have heard of many people having luck with the original whole fruit mangosteen juice, which has natural anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties.

I wish my grandmother could have tried it.

Metastatic liver cancer prevention

Being aware that there is food and fruits out there having anti cancerous properties is the first step you can take in preventing yourself from getting cancer.

But you shouldn’t stop there: drinking a bottle of mangosteen won’t change that you are breathing polluted air or eating other food with pesticides.

So if you go for mangosteen, then go for an entire organic diet and include lots and lots of tomatoes (organic ketchup or puree is even 100 times better). Also eat avocado’s: although not that delicious on their own, combined with a tomato, pepper, salt, cumin and a pinch of garlic it makes a delicious guacamole which in my case replaces mayonnaise on fresh salads.

Live healthy because
your body is your best asset
when it comes to killing cancer cells.

I am sure there are plants out there in the rainforest that are even better than mangosteen when it comes to cancer prevention and maybe even cancer treatment. Unfortunately the human race is only interested in the wood the trees can produce, and destroying in their path plants that could carry the treatment for metastatic liver cancer.

Bone cancer early symptoms

bone cancer early symptoms

Who else knows your environment is the primary cause of cancer?

Reading Barbara’s cancer story about her father having bone cancer and liver cancer at the same time, I googled to find bone cancer early symptoms. Because when you detect cancer at an early stage, chances of having a successful treatment do exist.

Sadly, primary bone cancer is relatively uncommon in comparison with secondary or metastatic bone cancer. And just like father’s metastatic liver cancer had an unknown primary, it seems that in a lot of cases the primary cancer is not yet recognized at the time when the early metastatic cancer in the bone becomes
painful and people go see their doctor.

Primary bone cancer

Cancer that begins is the bone is called a primary bone cancer. But when you or your loved one has cancer, you will hear a lot of terms and it feels that "everybody has his own idea what kind of cancer you are dealing with".

With primary bone cancer, the word sarcoma will often be heard. Sarcoma is a malignant tumor (which is another way of saying a cancerous tumor or bad tumor) arising in the bone, cartilage, fibrous tissue or muscle.

Most people will now criticize my idea that we have cancer due to living in an unhealthy environment, breathing in unhealthy air and eating food filled with pesticide residues. Why criticize? Because children and young people are more likely to have bone cancer than adults.

So my theory that an accumulation of bad residues over the years will cause cancer in older people holds, but how does it explain cancer in younger people?

For this you have to go back to the best pesticide ever DDT: it killed everything and was "oh so practical". What DDT also did was killing the embryo in the eggs of bald eagles after the Second World War:

…Along with the passage of the Endangered Species Act, the US ban on DDT is cited by scientists as a major factor in the comeback of the bald eagle in the contiguous US…

So as long as adults have to bear living in a sick environment,
adults will bear sick children.

cancer starts before birth

…as long as adults have to bear living in a sick environment,
adults will bear sick children…

Barbara’s liver cancer story

Barbara left her cancer story in a comment at love your parents you only have 1 pair of them.

I am so sorry for your loss.

I just learned last night that I am facing the same with my father. His cancer spread to his bones and his liver.

I am trying to learn what he will face in this last year or so of his life and none of it looks good.

I know this will be the most difficult thing I have ever faced, but I pray that I can stay strong for him and my mother.

They just celebrated their 54th anniversary and have had many honeymoons.

He says he is okay with the end of his life, but I don’t think I am.

Oh well, I guess I don’t have any choice in this.

Metastatic liver cancer story

Our father seemed to be a bit younger than Barbara’s father when he got diagnosed with metastatic liver cancer.

Father kept a stiff upper lip saying that he did live a good life, but the tears in his eyes didn’t really say the same.

You do need to be strong for your mother, because she will be the one loosing her partner for more than 54 years. Loosing a father is bad, but cannot be compared with loosing a partner of 54 years, so try to keep that in perspective.

Mom could really become angry to people coming with a story like: oh, when my husband had a terrible flu I also thought he was going to die and felt so afraid blablabla…

Of course you feel afraid, but with a flu you have hope for a better outcome, with terminal cancer you have no other options…

If you have more news about bone cancer early symptoms, or you have a cancer story to share: please leave a comment here!

Introduction to alternative cancer treatments

Introduction to alternative cancer treatmentsThis post is an introduction to alternative cancer treatments, mainly a repeat from Kistan2’s question which we will print out below as it is part of her liver cancer story. Many hugs to you Kistan2 and thanks for sharing.

Our next post is about an alternative that sounds good in the sense of giving a person suffering from liver cancer a better quality of life. Yes, I am very prudent using the term : "alternative cancer treatments" as I will keep on saying that:

the only way to eradicate cancer is to prevent it!

This is a political choice and as you have noticed, it isn’t in any of the 3 remaining candidates program for the US presidential elections :-(

Why a political choice? Because they can implement policies in order to :

  • make sure we can breath in healthy air
  • make sure we can drink healthy water
  • make sure we can eat healthy food

Not healthy according to "their standards", but healthy to eradicate cancer big time.

All we can do at this point is try to eat as much healthy organic food as possible, reduce on red meat and increase on doing exercises.

Liver Cancer Story from Kistan2

My 43 yr. old husband was diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma early February of this year.

[ hepatocellular carcinoma is a type of liver cell cancer: a malignant growth made up of liver epithelial cells (cells forming the covering of most internal and external surfaces of the body and its organs) that tend to infiltrate the surrounding tissues and give rise to metastases ]

The oncologist that we consulted with all concluded that his mass was to large to operate on and it was too dangerous for the other recommended treatments.

Our only option was the liver cancer drug - Nexavar which he began on Feb. 12th.

Since then his oncologist has also combined the treatment with an infusion of Avastin (which is not approved by Blue Cross Blue Shield).

Since the infusion I have watched my husband go downhill with extreme high blood pressure which leaves him weak and fatigued most of the time. He barely leaves his bedroom and when he does it’s only to eat.

To me, he is getting more jaundiced which is not a good sign.

We have two young children (3 & 12) - I feel saddest when I think of the kids without their father around.

This disease has turned our whole world upside down - I am praying for a miracle but from what I’ve read about this disease, it just doesn’t look good.

Everyday I feel like he is drifting further and further away from us and I live in a constant state of sadness and loss (even though he is still with us).

I’m always on the Internet looking for alternative treatments for his cancer. Has anyone ever tried alternative medicine and have gotten good results from it?

Metastatic liver cancer addings…

  • Kistan2 says : To me, he is getting more jaundiced which is not a good sign. I also thought father was getting more jaundiced, so I asked my doctor and he said : not at all. So in all cases cancer: always ask for a (second) doctor’s opinion.
  • The drug our GP doctor suggested was Xeloda, which is a pill taken orally and should only work on the tumor without messing up the entire body. Yet our oncologist said: it is still a chemo-therapy causing the common well-known side-effects. He suggested to not give any treatment, therefore we didn’t have the "chemo-therapy" side effects. But you do need to be prepared for the side effects of:
    • a growing liver that pushes against all organs in the belly, causing enormous pain
    • a failing liver that can’t clean all the blood which sooner or later starts affecting the brain (like people poisoning their blood do to not enough food… hallucinations are to be expected)
  • As long as your husband is there, he is there: do cherish these moments as good as possible!

Please do leave a comment:

  • did you try alternative medicine and
  • what were the good results from it?

We also listed a small introduction to alternative cancer treatments at our liver cancer survival rate page.
