Your best chance
BaileysMum,
Glyconutrients are probably your best chance of winning against this cancer. You did not mention its origin or diagnostic name, which might give me some idea of how urgent your need of stopping and reversing the disease process is. Has the oncologist given you a prognosis?
"I have always been health conscious, eating healthy, avoiding medications and drugs, avoiding toxins in my environment as best I could, etc. so getting chemo wasn't a light choice."
I assume from the quote that you are not overweight. Have you lost a lot of weight or are you losing weight fast at present? Are you well padded or are you already thin? Probably your best strategy, if you are not overweight, is to eat enough to maintain weight and strength.
Approximately 40% of dead cancer patients die of cachexia or wasting, rather than that the cancer killed them. I would usually advise against fasting or restricting calory intake. The cancer will be fed by anything that you eat and your body will destroy fat and muscle mass to help the tumor grow. You may have seen cancer patients with skinny arms and legs, but an abdomen swollen with tumor. A fast is usually a ticket to separate body and soul quicker, in my experience.
Your best bet is to support your body's immune and repair systems aggressively. They can annihilate tumors in amazingly short time, once the cancer is no longer invisible to them.
Chemo treatment commonly causes nausea and loss of appetite. I have observed many cancer patients who took A*****ose and had minimal side effects, some not losing their hair. It is dose dependent, and more usually gets more results, up to a point. Then the "law of diminishing returns" sets in. The effective amount will vary from person to person. My advice is that you should start with large amounts and after you can feel or observe benefits, you might try to reduce the amounts to save money.
The most important A*****ose sugars against cancer are mannose and fucose. Sulfated fucose or fucoidan has been studied throughout the world and studies show that it helps the body fight cancer in at least 3 ways. Some of the other sugars may also be as important, but their benefit is not so well proven. If you are going to try the homemade versions, this forum is a good source to contact someone who can provide them. A*****ose is a wonderful product, but, alone, it cannot do everything you need in your battle against cancer.
You may also get into a study conducted by Fisher Institute for Medical Research, which when accepted, you will get A*****ose and other assorted nutraceuticals at about half the retail price. Find it online with a search.
Because the cancer is stage IV and aggressive, I suggest strongly that you get started ASAP and do a protocol faithfully for a month, then evaluate your results.
In addition to (1)A*****ose at, at least, 4 tablespoons daily, (6, 8, or 12 are better)you need a good (2)multivitamin with minerals, zinc being critically important to support the immune system. These nutraceuticals would be a minimal effort in my experience. A*****ose is most important, and I am told that equal amounts of soy lecithin mixed in will emulsify and facilitate absorption of the nutrients 3X or 4X. Soy lecithin is cheap and available in health food and some grocery stores. When in doubt as to brands, choose the higher amounts of phosphatidyl inositol. That has its own anti-cancer properties as well as helping absorption.
To cover other nutritional requirements, that often are deficient, I suggest that you get (3)phytogenins for hormone support. The friend who gave you A*****ose can provide them in a product called PLUS. (4)Phytochemicals that are critically important in proper cell function that also help the body against cancer are avalable in PhytAloe.
Do you sleep well in darkness? You may want to take (5)melatonin, which helps the body regulate apoptosis, programmed cell death and renewal, available from your friend as Mannatonin.
Finally, there is a (6)colostrum product which is available in a high quality product from your friend, called 1mmunoStart.
There are more products which might help, but I would suggest that you start with these, to the extent that you know that you will take them faithfully. If you cannot get them all, then start with the first three minimally. You can triple, quadruple, or take even more of the label amounts without fear. If your stomach is delicate, you may want to start slower, but I am assuming that you are at a point that you need to take chances or you would not be appealing on this forum.
Money is always a problem, so you might have a garage sale, or two. You might ask friends and relatives to do the same. If you belong to a church, you might describe your plight and ask for pledges. 10 or 20 families pledging $10 or $20 monthly will make a big difference. I have even seen churches having parking lot sales for these purposes.
God bless you and keep you!
