Alternative Medicine - July 2006

My dad is 75 years old and is undergoing raditation and chemo therapy for small cell lung cancer. He isn't one to complain (he is a proud man), but he has been complaining of how weak these treatments make him. Also, he goes four days per week and has to travel 2 hours to the hospital for therapy (nearest Veterans Hosp.). I was wandering if there was some vitamins or herbs that may help. I know nothing will work miracles, but it is so hard seeing him so worn down and with the long trips he needs all the energy he can get. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

If cinnamon and cloves are so healthy if taken in a capsule, why can`t I just buy my own from the grocery store and put them in gelatin capsules? I keep reading more about how cinnamon improves Cholesterol levels and cloves helps insulin problems. Why do we need to buy them from expensive health food stores?

Will you release the same amount of toxins at home eventually? Is professional hydrotherapy really worth the money?

I have atrial fibrillation and flutter. I have had them for three years now, and although some things seem to help, nothing makes them totally go away. Has anyone permanently cured this condition. Docs have tried many meds, atenolol, beta blockers, digoxin, you name it, nothing helps, drugs onliy make it worse. I've tried lot of alternative therapies, and although some help, I'd like to be rid of it for good!

I believ that instant healing is possible, or at least very fast. One method I heard of is visualization.

My ears are really stuffed up right now because I'm slightly sick. I can't get them to pop. This normally wouldn't be a problem, but I'm supposed to go to a shooting range tommorow, and can't go unless I can get my ears to pop at least once. I've taken a bunch of decongestants, to no avail. Does anyone have any secrets they could share to help?

Can a goiter be reduced in size without surgery? Can you recommend doctors in New York City that specialize in goiters and natural remedies. Any success stories with before/after goiter pictures would be appreciated.

The specialist suggested epidurals of steroids which I declined. I do physical therapy but I don't think that's enough. I've gone to a chiropractor for 10 years and no longer go since the rupture. Any other remedies out there?
