A THOUGHT ON PANCREATIC CANCER AND THINGS

Sorry I have not been posting, rather hectic two weeks amid flying out to say a final goodbye to a dear friend. Art was a Dr who served so many. Suffered a massive heart attack and lived in limbo for 6 years. God said time to go home Art and he was glad to go. Always leaves a hole when a good friend leaves us.

With permission of my friend Shemay I will post her article from Cancer Compass. Pancreatic cancer is so hard to overcome and many are trying natural supplements, along with their chemotherapy.

I also recommend this supplement, AHCC, a boost to the immune system and it overcomes viruses and infections. A friend of mine along with several people (4 I think), about 20 years ago, while living in Hong Kong, contracted a severe form of meningitis. She had all the up to date treatments along with her fellow sufferers. She alone survived. The one thing her Oriental doctor did that was different, was add the AHCC. So there is much power in these natural substances. I believe this helps in all cancers but has been quite effective in Pancreatic Cancer.

Below is the posting by Shemay.

"Active Hexose Correlated Compound is neither a drug nor a medicine. It is a food substance, ---- a dietary supplement rich in polysaccharides and fiber...processed from the mycelia of selected mushrooms (basidiocymetes) into a rich nutritive extract."

AHCC in Combination with Chemotherapy
Studies using AHCC clearly demonstrated that AHCC safely increases the efficacy of conventional treatments while reducing the frequency of side effects. Patients taking AHCC with chemo or radiation saw their tumors shrink and their tumor markers decrease more than patients receiving conventional treatments alone. Furthermore, a weakened immune system is one of the most serious side effects of chemotherapy. AHCC helps to preserve immunity at a time when it is crucial to prevent the spread and growth of abnormal cells. It also reduces the toxicity and the side effects associated with chemotherapy. It alleviates hair loss and bone marrow suppression and prevents the elevation of liver enzymes. Patients taking AHCC reported less nausea and vomiting and AHCC improved their body weight and appetite. Unfortunately, at present, there are very few proven strategies to reduce the risk of tumor recurrence among survivors. Because of its effect on NK cells, AHCC supplementation may prove useful for those trying to improve their immune function in order to reduce their risk of recurrence. A prospective cohort study found that patients who had undergone resection of a liver tumor had a significantly longer no recurrence period and an increased overall survival rate when they took AHCC.

Thanks Shemay.

AHCC stands for Active hexose correlated compound. processed from the mycelia of selected mushrooms. The bottle is saying " significantly improves immune response, Enhances function of NK cells, DC cells, T-cells, Macrophages and cytokines" I got he Kinoko Gold brand. I found it for 38 dollars a bottle. "

Overcoming Fear helps healing yourself and the PLANET

Facing a life threatening illness is a hard road to tread. For those of us who have been there we understand. There is something we can do to help ourselves and those around us. At this time in our earthly journey there are many outside factors facing us that increase the fear factor. Fear comes from the inability to control what is happening and the apparent absence of solutions along with changes which we cannot control.

The planet itself is going through a difficult time, job loss, losing one's home, facing foreclosure, loss of savings, and some of us facing horrendous illness and maybe death. Couple this with fear and change,thus setting us up for hiding our emotions and lessening our ability to cope.

Inner faith, prayer, forgiveness, serenity are all tools to use to help us in this journey. You can choose which form of spirituality you are comfortable with and each day set aside sometime to meditate on healing yourself.

We truly do not realize the power we have to heal ourselves and use our minds to reap great rewards. The Rev David Aikens suggest we daily do the following: Begin each meditation with a prayer "Listen to drumming of the native American Indian type or African or a soft chant" Deep breathing and relax. Visualize White Light to envelop you and the earth, keep the deep breathing going, Inhaling thru the nose and exhaling through the mouth. Next visualize you heart expanding with energies of supreme healing for your body and include these to heal mother earth. By focusing positive thoughts of healing on yourself and the earth around, you will be amazed how much better and calmer your feel with this exercise. When you bring in the healing white light just keep thinking, "this will heal me, this will help me" I thank you......whoever you believe in to bring this light.

Takes a bit of practise but it does help.

There are many sites giving technical aspects of cancer so I try and give a different slant on how to use our mind and bodies to heal. Have a great week and free yourself from fear.
