God, the doctor just told her he would do the blood ozonation (tranfuse her own ozonated blood back into her body), and that she would need at least 20 of these treatments.
Each treatment is $1500.
That is ridiculous!!!
That's at least $30,000 -- I cannot believe the number.
I don't know if he is using autohemotherapy or ozonepheresis, but even these types of therapy should not cost anywhere close to that. I wonder how many of these doctors are simply playing on people's desperation. Actually being that your mom does not even have a proper diagnosis the doctor would have no idea of how many treatments would really be needed.
I'm not sure whether to look for another doctor, or what... or buy my own ozone machine. Her breast is now rock-hard all over; there is no soft tissue anywhere. Her bones hurt and she's afraid to even leave the house, since she chronically feels sick. I no of no other doctor to treat her, though.
The description does not sound good, especially the bone pain. So you are right to get started with something even before the biopsy comes in just in case.
In the long run though your best bet is to just get an ozone unit. This is a lot cheaper and she will not be limited on the number of treatments. Plus it would be available for other things that may come up later.
I'm 23, just graduated college; she's 42. I can't afford to pay such crazy money. She can't afford it, either.
What do you advise? Do you know of any place she can go? She'll be willing to even fly somewhere for treatment, if it means paying less.
First thing to look in to would still be getting an ozone unit. Otherwise look for another doctor. One that will actually wait for an actual diagnosis so they know what they are dealing with. We do have a couple of doctors out this way that do ozone, but I do not know what they charge. I do know that the one doctor is going to be expensive. If I remember right his initial consultation is around $600.
Another doctor that looked at her most recently said it was probably cancer, but we won't know until the biopsy.
I hate when doctors do this. There is no way to tell without the biopsy so they should hold their opinions until after they get the biopsy as to not worry the person needlessly. Although I have also seen a number of times where doctors assumed something was cancer and when the biopsies came back negative they still insisted it was cancer simply because they did not want to admit that their initial claim was wrong.
She didn't go yet, but will probably get one on Thursday. I am guessing it's inflammatory breast cancer because of the swelling, inflammation, tenderness to the touch, etc., and other similarities to mastitis. I don't know what the doctor is basing his conclusion on, exactly, because it was my impression that only a biopsy (or perhaps other lab work) could determine whether it's cancer or mastitis. I know that once she started taking the copper, anti-inflammatories, and immune boosters, the 'thing' stopped developing -- it was simply arrested.
Copper is an antiseptic and anti-inflammatory so it could just as easily be mastitis.
I have some follow-up questions:
1) I am making the herbal formula, anyway... I don't want to wait for the biopsy results. Looking at the chaga and turkey tail: what dosages, what frequency? I managed to get 2 lbs of chaga, but it's minced, and looks like bee pollen -- it's not a powder. Should this be chewed, or is a tea better? How many grams for the chewing or for the tea?
For the chagas you can make a tea. The betulinic acid in chagas is heat stable. Traditional use is through the making of a tea and I was talking once to a Lakota medicine man who told me they smoke these mushrooms for lung cancer. To make the tea I recommend rapidly boiling a spoon full of the chopped mushroom per cup of hot water. Keep the container covered while boiling. Then turn off the heat and allow it to steep until cooled. I recommend drinking a cup of the tea 3-4 times daily on an empty stomach.
The turkey tail is in capsules, although it's a 20:1 extract. How often should these capsules be taken?
I recommend 1 capsule 3-4 times daily also on an empty stomach.
2) I ordered Jarrow's Organic Germanium, which are 100 mg capsules. You recommend 40 mg, 3 times a day. In Michael Tierra's book, he recommends 24g of suma powder throughout the day for cases of cancer. I also purchased Turkey Tail. Would all of these things provide way too much germanium, and if so, what are the side effects? Should I cut down on the capsules, or what?
Organic germanium is very safe, so it would be hard to take too much. In human studies doses up over 6,000mg daily did not show toxicity, and it does not accumulate in the body. But excess simply gets excreted unchanged, so taking extra just becomes waste.
I'm thinking that, if I add the capsule contents to the formula, there will be no measuring problems. I could make it that there's exactly 20, 30, 40, or 50 mg of germanium per serving, or is that not advisable because it has to be taken with food?
It can be taken with the herbs instead of food.
3) Is it safe to take Schisandra berry alongside the herbal formula? I see, for example, poke root in it, but if Schisandra makes the cell walls more permeable, would this increase potential toxicity with poke root? I'd like to use Schisandra to simultaneously support her liver and kidneys because of long-term Tylenol, Advil, aspirin, etc., use.
Yes, it is safe to take the schisandra with the other herbs. The amount of poke root in the formula is low since I also use amla in the formula for a synergistic reaction. This allows for stronger immune boosting effect from the poke root while reducing the risk of toxicity.
4) You note 10,000 IU of Vit. A. Does this mean direct Vit. A., as in Cod Liver Oil, or beta-carotene? My mom's kidneys aren't great right now (lack of hydration throughout life; chronic use of painkillers), so I'm wondering about the Vit. A.
!0,000IU is an upper limit for actual vitamin A, not carotenes. Ideally the daily intake should be much lower anyway.
5) I would like to try ozone, and found a doctor pretty close to me who would do it. The initial consultation is $300, which seems pricey. He also does IV vitamins, hydrogen peroxide, and many other things. But, what kind of price should I look for per ozone treatment, to let me know I'm not getting ripped off (in the NYC area) and could possibly go to another ozone doctor? What frequency of treatment and what method of administration?
I have not talked to many doctors about what they charge for ozone treatments. The only price I have ever heard for ozone therapy by a doctor was $75 a treatment. But I generally recommend people simply buy a medical unit, which is not much more than the $300 you would spend on a consultation anyway. Then the person can give themselves treatments as needed and will have the unit for other uses as well.
As for method and frequency I prefer rectal insufflation. It is not considered as effective as injections, but is much safer and less invasive. Concentration and flow rate must be kept very low (flow rate around 1/10lpm) and the first few treatments will be extremely short, about 5 minutes, due to severe bloating. After the first few treatments the bloating should stop and I recommend 20 minutes three times a day.
She will likely have flu-like symptoms the first few days, but this usually stops after the third or so treatment.
Don't forget a lot of water throughout the day.
6) If ozone isn't an option, and chemo or surgery is required, what herbs can be taken (besides the ones in the formula) to reduce side effects of these options, especially the chemo?
The herbs in the formula will help with the chemo side effects, especially the pau d' arco and chaparral.
7) Diet -- I know you say to avoid animal products, and that seeds are good, but what kind of seeds, and in what quantity?
Soy products are great if cooked or fermented. The phytoestrogens in soy are antitumor, and the phytic acid will help reduce free iron and well as boost the immune system. Seeds such as soybeans are also a good source of antiviral protease inhibitors.
Whole oats, brown rice, millet, quinoa, etc. are also good choices.
There is no specific amount, but these along with vegetables should make up the bulk of the diet.
Any specific fats to take?
Fish oils are the best. Deep cold water fish, such as cod and haddock, are good sources and generally come from cleaner waters. Or fish oil supplements can be used. Carlson's is a good brand. If the oil has a fishy smell or taste avoid it.
Cabbage -- cooked, or raw?
Cabbage and its relatives are good, but should be cooked some to reduce their goitrogenic effect.
Beets?
Because excess iron is not good in cases of cancer beets would be best avoided. Beets are also very hyperglycemic, which again is not good for cancer.
I avoided buying an ozone unit because I'm scared of hurting her. I don't know how to administer it, exactly, or of precautions, what to do if something goes wrong, etc. so I was looking for ozone therapy doctors. Now that they're pretty much out of the question, perhaps it's best if I invest in an ozone or Rife machine. I can't afford the $30,000 that doc was asking for 20 treatments, but I can certainly invest in these 2 machines, if the price isn't crazy.
It really is not hard to administer. The insufflation she can do herself once she learns how to do it. injections would be a different story.
But, could you give me a link to a good medical-grade ozone generator for rectal insufflation? I don't know what's overpriced, what's poor quality, good quality, etc. -- do they sell quality machines in the $400-$700 range? All I see are well over $1000, and sometimes several thousand.
There was one that Gina posted not too long ago that looked like a really good one and at a decent price. I think she said around $400 on Ebay. There is a thread on here somewhere about it.
But she would also need to get an oxygen tank and regulator. Medical tank regulators are better since they are more stable. But medical tanks cannot be filled without a prescription. But there are ways around this.
Oxygen tanks can be rented from welding supply companies. So getting oxygen in general is not difficult.
Could you also provide instructions on how to use? You say 5 minutes the first day, and longer thereafter, but how frequently once she's acclimated, and for how long, per day? etc. I've read Oxygen Healing Therapies, but I'm still not confident about using one, myself.
Yes, I can help you with this once she is ready and has the equipment so I can go over it with her.
If it's mastitis, I'm assuming the ozone will work just as well?
Ozone can help with the mastitis, but in this case it would be better to do "cupping" over the breast and let the ozone absorb directly through the breast tissue.
For the past few months, my mother has been having inflammation in her chest. It's tender to the touch, but she refused to go get a biopsy because some friend of hers told her "she could die" from a biopsy. She's also been having a low-grade fever, which indicates infection. She has had several cavities for well over a decade, but refused to clear that up, too, since she's frightened of dentists, needles, etc., and pretty much anything that might cause slight discomfort. She had a heart attack last year -- she's in her early 40s -- probable due to horrible diet, stress, or even the cavities. It didn't help that to deal with insomnia, toothaches, etc., she's been chronically using Advil and Tylenol. Since last year, however, she's been eating much better.
Anyway -- that's the background. Today, she's going in for a biopsy, but I'm not sure how long it will take for the results to come in. If it's inflammatory breast cancer, I'm scared that, after several months of not dealing with it (except for some extremely overpriced herbal and other tinctures, like "Carrera," bioavailable copper solution, anti-inflammatories, and immune system boosters), it might have spread to the rest of her body.
What she has been doing is somewhat counterproductive. You just said she has been taking immune boosters, but ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, Nuprin, etc.) is an immune suppressant since it damages the bone marrow suppressing the formation of stem cells.
I've read your write-up on cancer and, if this is what she has, I will give her chaga, turkey tail, the herbal formula you invented, minerals (zinc, selenium, etc.), on top of whatever else she decides to do. I will add considerable doses of suma, as recommended for breast cancer by Michael Tierra in "The Way Of Herbs."
Yes, suma is the highest herbal source of organic germanium, which is highly antitumor. Organic germanium will also help repair the bone marrow damage from the ibuprofen. Turkey tail mushrooms are also rich in organic germanium, which is part of what makes them such great cancer fighters. The other compounds in the mushrooms are white blood cell activating polysaccharides.
I'm not sure if she will go into surgery or chemo, but I will definitely make sure to give her the herbs, which would protect her somewhat from the negative effects of chemo. Is there anything else you can think of for this particular kind of cancer?
The formula on the Cancer write up covers the various aspects of cancer that need to be addressed such as antimicrobials to deal with cancer causing microbes, blocking the glucose-lactic acid cycle, blocking angiogenesis and metastases, increasing cytokine levels, etc.
Ozone therapy is the best means of addressing cancer though. If it is cancer and has not spread the ozone can be injected directly in to the tumor with a glass syringe, which will destroy the cancer cells on contact. Tiny amounts of food grade hydrogen peroxide can be used in a similar manner, but is much more painful. Either way these should only be done by people who know how to do this properly, especially since accidently injecting these in to a blood vessel instead of tissue can be dangerous.
Ozone can be used through insufflation if there is metastasized cancer.
Rife units set to a frequency of 666hz is another great alternative.
But, most doctors think it's probably mastitis. Still, I've read you can't be 100% sure until you get the biopsy, so I'm not comforted yet. If it is mastitis, what do you recommend? I have no idea what to do with something like this.
If mastitis then antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory herbs such as chaparral, pau d' arco and andrographis area all good choices. Hot compresses applied frequently are also very good.
She should cut back on the consumption of animal fats and dairy, which can aggravate mastitis.
One thing I would not do is push for a mammogram. If you are not on any birth control pills, a simple pregnancy test will detect cancer. It is over 92% accurate, so I would take it twice to make sure. If it is cancer, the HCG levels will show up in the pregnacy test indicating pregnancy. Negative indicates no cancer. If it should show up positive, then I would go on to take the Navarro Test to see what my score was. Anything over 50 indicates cancer. This also works by showing the HCG levels in your urine. In the meantime, should the pregnacy test be positive, you could implement alternative measures to address the cancer. By chance is that one breast growing larger than the other? As Lolite states, it could be fibrocystic breast disease, or it could even be mastitis. I would follow her suggestions and to that add colloidal silver. Colloidal silver will eliminate any possible infections.
However, I would never opt for a mammogram. The intense radiation that your body withstands during this procedure paves the way to future cancer.
My Best,

I read about using iodine to treat cystic mastitis in 1984 in Dr. Wright's Guide to Healing with Nutrition. Since I had excruciatingly painful fibrocystic breasts only briefly helped by high-dose vitamin E recommended by my doctor, I was drawn to iodine instantly. I just didn't have access to it. I didn't know when Lugol's became available over-the-counter, so the first iodine I used was Iosol, then Iodoral. The Universe kept sending me reminders -- FIND THE IODINE -- and finally I did. It was like coming home.
P.S. Thank you for asking.
Hot compresses will definitely help. Also have her massage the area lightly and frequently. It is important that she keeps the milk flowing so she needs to either continue breastfeeding or at least pump the milk out.
Anti-inflammatories such as licorice root and yucca root can be used internally to help reduce the pain without affecting the milk.
Make sure she stays hydrated with water and gets plenty of rest and nutrition to keep up her immunity.
And yes, lecithin can help. Granules are the best. Recommended dose is 1 tablespoon 3 times daily with meals.
Have her limit or eliminate animal fats since these can aggravate the mastitis.
