Re: Something more...
It's great to know that aloe vera is good for fighting cancer. But how effective is it for inflammation, especially at the scale that my mom has? Would 4 fl oz a day suffice, or do you recommend a larger or smaller quantity? She drank it only once since I made the previous post, so I can't say if it's working or not.
I would not consider aloe vera as much of an anti-inflammatory. Its primary effect is immune stimulation due to the polysaccharides.
Her nausea has subsided for the past few weeks and she tried the anti-cancer formula again. She only took one capsule, did not feel nauseous, but became dizzy, which has always accompanied the taking of this formula.
My mom's oncologist recommends that she get a monthly IV of Zometa (zoledronic acid) to deal with the bone lesions. She also says that if it is in fact metastasized cancer, it will help prevent the cancer from doing more damage. How do you feel about this drug? Should she go through with it?
I personally would never get anywhere near Zometa or any other bisphosphonate drug. The bisphosphonates are well known for causing brittle bone disease, even though they are prescribed for osteoporosis. These drugs not only increase the risk of bone fractures they have also been found to cause necrosis of the jawbone and due to their caustic nature can cause severe pain and inflammation. In some cases the pain was reported to be permanent.
She is currently taking the bone and joint formula, drinking silica in water, and probably a few other herbs and minerals that my brother gave her specifically for this, as well as undergoing Rife machine treatments every day (at least an hour on 666 square wave, sometimes several hours due to falling asleep with her feet on the metal plates).
About her puffy right arm that cannot move up or down -- the oncologist said that even if her lymph nodes are nonenlarged, it can still be related to one of them. She thinks that it may be a blood clot that's causing it, and we will do a vein and blood test in 2 weeks to see if it may be that. Do you think it could be a blood clot, or is that unlikely? Her puffinesses and pain eased up considerably when she stopped ozone for a week or two back in late September/early October.
I doubt if it is a blood clot. A blood clot will generally make the limb not only swell, but to become very red like a severe burn.
The pain in her breast has become much worse since early December, with the last two weeks being the worst. Do you think this has to do with the increased dosage of ozone (from ~35 ug to ~47-50 ug)?
It is very likely since as before the increased destruction of cells leads in increased uric acid and thus more tissue irritation.
She has also started doing the Rife machine again this month, very regularly, sometimes even several hours a day, which my brother has said destroys cancer. She also started taking several new anti-cancer herbs. Perhaps this increase in pain has to do with increased cancer cell destruction due to the increase in every aspect of her treatment -- ozone, Rife, and supplements.
Yes. And again, make sure she is drinking plenty of water.
Her inflammation has gotten worse this month as well, so perhaps that is also to blame for the pain in her right inflamed and affected breast. (I'm assuming that pain from uric acid is more severe in inflammatory breast cancer patients than those with noninflammatory breast cancer.)
The irritation from the uric acid will increase inflammation.
Also, my mom uses an oxygen concentrator with an O3ELITE ozone generator for ozone therapy. We replaced an ebay-bought ozone generator with an O3ELITE because we were unsure of the former's build quality and exactly how much ozone it was producing. Since early October, it let out a noticeable ozone scent. About two weeks ago, our mom told us that she no longer smelled any ozone when using the generator. I did not smell anything, either, and replaced it with the ebay-bought generator, that, upon turning it on, hit with me such a scent that I started coughing. We sent the O3ELITE back and the company said that this is normal; ozone smell is variable when using these machines and that their tests demonstrated that it is generating proper levels of ozone. We're using the O3ELITE and still no smell. Is this normal in your experience? Should we investigate this further?
Ozone has a very distinct smell even in very small concentrations. Ozone can be smelled at 0.1 parts per million. If you cannot smell any ozone I doubt if the unit is putting out any ozone.
