Q: stage 4 colon cancer, tumor spread in lungs, liver : Essiac
asked by: healthy_blue on August 13th, 2007

My father is 64 yo, has stage 4 colon cancer, tumor spread in lungs, liver and bones.
He was diagnosed and had surgery 20 months ago, he has now a ileostomy and a colostomy. (2 bags attached on his body).

He is in a trial for Avastin which seems to work at keeping the tumors from growing. He had complications due to tumors, was close to death 3 times so far (tumor blocked the biliar bladder duct and the bile was accumulating in the body).

He also drinks ESSIAC which is a herbal tea, just google it and you'll find more information. We have decided to try everything, Avastin and the herbal tea.

Search on the internet for the ingredients list and proportions and try to prepare it yourself, it will be much more affordable.

For the tumors in his liver he drinks 2 glasses a day of a tea from a plant called Lycopodium clavatum.

Sorry to hear that your father is having very severe disease. I guess your doing everything right to help him.
You've mention that he had some complications due the cancer, but are you aware that avastin can cause some serious life-threatening complications(gastrointestinal perforation, kidney malfunction , severe hypertension)
Thank you for sharing your experience. Your informations will be helpful for everyone here.
All best to you and your family.

Avastin
We are aware of the potentially dangerous side effects of Avastin but my father is ok so far.

He takes it since Feb 2006 and as far as his bi-annual CAT scans show Avastin works at keeping the liver, lung and bone tumors from growing.

The only side effect was a runny nose, like in a mild cold, which is nothing compared to the chemo side effects. Chemo was making him feel so bad that he only completed 4 sessions out of 6 planned after the surgery.

Colon Cancer Alternative Cure?
My friend from philippines just email me some info regarding cure on colon cancer and I was very interested and wanted to buy the tea to drink for cleansing.

Dr Tam is a crusader for cancer for over a decade and his patient came from all part of philippine province. My friend is shock and amazed and see with his own eyes how so many people was healed just by drinking the miracle tea and live green alone.

I am trying to share my own mom's cancer cure, it was 3 and half years ago when the doctor told us that she had 4th stage cancer... Now shes free and goes for regular checkup every nine months etc. I now believe in drinking lots of fruits and vegetable juices (beetroot, green apple, carrot mainly for my mom), and other veges etc. Find out how beetroot is such a blood cleanser(search the internet you should know). My mom had terribly skin outburst(it smells) after that and slowly rashes gone after 1 week).

There is hope for many of us, just that we must want to open our minds to learn and find out with an open mind. Well, lots of fruit & vegs will never make us sick, remember? You must drink lots of juices to eliminate any toxins from your body at the moment. How can we depend on the doctors alone? when food is our strength and cure.
