Re: Help: Advice Needed on wife breast cancer

In general, I like what the naturopath has been doing - especially the vitamin D3, echinacea, and turmeric (curcumin). How much turmeric (curcumin) is she taking and in what form? Turmeric/curcumin is not very bioavailable at all. Black pepper (piperine) and coconut milk can help some with absorption. See:

Curcumin and black pepper combine to stop breast cancer tumor cells

However, a better choice by far would be one of the highly bioavailable curcumin products such as Life Extension Foundation's Super Biocurcumin at doses of up to 2500 mg or more per day.

How about iodine and it's vital co-factor selenium (in the most potent cancer fighting form methylselenocysteine)? Those are both musts in my book when it comes to breast cancer.

I am less impressed with the exotic treatments the naturopath has moved to. Not rejecting them out of hand, but I suggest that there are far better other options to take a look at.

With a cancer that close to the surface of the skin, a better skin cream option might be the combination of oleander extract, iodine, colloidal silver and a bit of DMSO. Take a look at these two articles which include information on the skin cream:

Chemo Does Not Cure: Often It Inflicts Damage and Spreads Cancer

It may be worth noting that sometimes the combination of chemo and oleander works quite well and at any rate when oleander is used in conjunction with chemo it either lessens or eliminates virtually all side effects commonly associated with chemo (with the exception of hair loss when the chemo drug of choice is Cisplatin).

Good luck to your wife and yourself and I hope this helps,
