Does anybody know of any natural treatments ( health food stores, capsules, vitamins, etc) that help for ovarian cancer? anything to help from the pain, chemo, etc?
thank you so much!

going natural is good for anyone and to help your body keep healthy while having cancer is very critical and important. try drinking around 24 ounces of green tea a day sweetened with sweet leaf, found in health food stores, a day. green tea keeps the body clean while fighting free radicals. other foods you can include into your meal plans are carrots, oranges, blueberries, soy foods, progesterone cream, shittake, maitake, and reishi mushrooms, strawberries, royal jelly(found in health food stores), flax, garlic, pau d'arco(health food stores), red clover, and tumeric which is anti cancer and a natural inflammatory. make sure to heat a high fiber, low saturated+trans fat diet. eat fish and other lean proteins. eat as natural as you can. eat fresh spinach in your salads and eat several small meals or snacks a day. for pain, you can try meditation or whatever the doctor's prescribe. there is little in the natural world that can take away intense pain. good luck.

HI Brooklyn, I'm on the other side of the state but I have a great doctor. I have 10.1 cm mass that we're working on right now. I have not had chemo or surgery yet but I will tell what I am doing prior to those:
1. you want to build yourself up, be as healthy as you can. Take vitamins, especially B, C, D. Enzymes help with digestion which can help with nausea too. You also want to take zinc as it helps with mouth sores from chemo as well as Prevention mouth wash which Walgreens sells for about $6.00, it's a blessing. There are also other things you can do for the sores. Ginger helps nausea.
2. there are no natural cures for cancer other than to be healthy, eat lots of fruits, veggies, organic foods, oxidized water helps too as healthy cells need oxygen.
3. I'm not sure if it would help you but I'm on Lupron, that puts me into menopause and is shrinking my mass down to a more workable level. My mass is estrogen positive.
4. You want to relax as much as you can, listen to music, meditate, get a massage.
5. Learn all you can about cancer, also about the side effects such as lymphedema. Be prepared to ask alot of questions so you can make the right choices you will be ok with.
6. If you need help, ask for it, don't be afraid, people usually want to help but dont' know what to do.
