Then for some reason mudcat vanished until to day and when i did get it back my request was gone.So I ask and explain again. Some month ago I asked for advice from any Mudcatters with experience of a loved one going through the stress of having terminal cancer. Many of you replied with words of comfort and for this I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. It did help a good deal. My wife has just returned home from hospital today and although her prognosis hasn't changed she's in good spirits and still determined to win out. A friend mentioned essiac tea to me, as a detoxing agent which also might have some positive effects on her tumour. Now there are dozens of different "Cures" out there , all kinds of different diets etc. Essiac , though expensive, is readily available, more than the others I've been told about. So I ask again , has anyone any experience of this brew?. Any advice would be gratefully recieved. |

I can't remember off hand what type of cancer he had, but the prognosis was that he was beyond any further help from the allotropic American Medical Establishment. He made it up from scratch because it wasn't available at that time all made up in health food stores, etc. Anyway, he went into remission, took a cruise with his wife and, as far as I know, is still in remission. I've kept a couple photocopied articles from herbal/alternative medicine magazines on hand for a number of years "just in case." At some point at least, it certainly can't hurt and just might help.

28 Nov 01 - 05:03 PM (#599648) Subject: RE: BS: non music- essiac tea. From: MARINER I've traced the other thread. Thank you all yet again for your advice. We are all as positive as can be right now, none more than my wife. She is well loved by all who know her and if love will help keep her with us she'll be here for a long time yet. I intend buying the essiac tea tomorrow. Of all the potions out there it seems to be the one that is best regarded. Maybe it will help to regress her tumour, maybe not, but it is certainly worth trying. We have also been sent some pills from Brazil. I still have to check them out just in case they're not compatable with chemo (the essiac is apparently)which my wife starts again this coming Monday. Thank you all. |
