For younger patients (<60 yo), AML is typically treated with aggressive chemotherapy followed in some patients by a bone marrow transplant. With this strategy, approximately 40% of people with AML can be cured (the number is higher or lower depending on the exact type of AML). Unfortunately a number of clinical studies around the world have shown that this aggressive approach for people over 60-65 yo cures very few patients and causes many side effects and a substantial number of deaths in the first month of treatment. Because of this, many centers are not pursuing aggressive chemotherapy or bone marrow transplants in this age group. An alternative is to look around for a clinical trial involving a new drug or other approach to treating AML. Try looking at www.cancer.gov where there is both more information on AML as well as a list of current clinical trials in the US. Another useful website is www.leukemia-lymphoma.org/hm_lls.

I'm not sure if I understand your question. Are you thinking that the doctor can do more and is giving up too easy, if so, get a second opinion. If you are wondering what type of ways to make a person comfortable that is in his last stages of cancer, then I would say the doctors usually know what to do, they usually use morphine. One word of advice, if you truly care for this man, no matter what the outcome, have someone with him at the hospital day and night, it makes all the difference in the world and he deserves it.

medical marijuanna...I'm not kidding...even if it not medical get him some, if you want him to be comfortable...Chemo does horrible things to the body although it helps fight the cancer, but the marijuanna counters some of the ill side effects.

This summary details a major breakthrough in detoxifying the human body of the
carcinogens, heavy metals, viruses, bacteria, fungi, and overall acid conditions that
promote and cause disease.
Some 70,000 chemicals are being dumped into our environment, 65,000 of which are
potentially hazardous to our health. We live in a virtual sea of pollutants, and carry many
of these toxins within us. They can be found even in unborn children. A 2004 study by
the Environmental Working Group identified 287 industrial chemicals in babies’ umbilical-
cord blood, including 180 known to cause cancer and 217 that are toxic to the brain and
nervous system.
In my research to develop a detoxification system for prospective mothers, I recently
learned about a naturally occurring mineral called zeolite, which has a unique, negatively
charged, crystalline structure. Zeolite is formed from the fusion of lava and ocean water,
and combines all four elements. I feel that zeolite is an alchemical gift from God. It has
been used for more than 800 years in Asia as a remedy for overall health and well-being,
and is on the FDA’s GRAS list (generally recognized as safe). Zeolite is available
commercially in a purified, activated form, in the zeolite product.
The results of research on zeolite are very impressive:
1. Zeolite appears to prevent and may become an important treatment for cancer. In
one study, 78 percent of the 65 participants with terminal cancer (all types) are now in
complete remission for 12 months (LifeLink Pharmaceuticals, 2005).
2. It has a chelation-like effect in removing heavy metals (particularly lead, mercury,
cadmium, and arsenic), pesticides, herbicides, PCBs, and other toxins from the body.
These toxins are strongly correlated with the occurrence of a wide range of diseases,
including cancers and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s, autism, and dementia.
3. Zeolite also improves liver function, indirectly improving elimination of pesticides,
herbicides, and xeno-estrogens.
4. Zeolite appears to block viral replication, and may prove to be a potent anti-viral
and general remedy for all viruses. To date, 40 anecdotal cases of herpes zoster have
reportedly been healed. Preliminary anecdotal case studies suggest that it may help
alleviate rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and hepatitis C as well as the common
cold and flu.
5. Zeolite’s binding power was proven during the Chernobyl disaster, when tons of it
were used to remove radioactive cesium and strontium-90 before they contaminated
local water systems.
6. Zeolite creates a natural buffer in the system by establishing an optimal pH level
(between 7.35 and 7.45), which in turn activates healthy brain function and a strong
immune system.
7. It shows promise as an effective detoxifier for prospective mothers. Recently, at
the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center, Zeolite was added to the protocol for the 10-day
detoxification program for prospective mothers.
In two women who just completed the program, toxins in their breast tissue dropped
significantly – from 12 in one and 13 in the other to only two – over the course of seven
days.
Although anecdotal evidence and centuries of use in Asia suggest that zeolite is safe to
use even during pregnancy and breastfeeding, its safe use in pregnancy has not been
proven in double-blind studies.
8. According to testimonials, zeolite promotes a sense of well-being, clarity, and
happiness. It appears to do this as a consequence of eliminating toxins and also,
according to preliminary research, by increasing serotonin production. One study
suggests that zeolite also helps relieve depression.
9. Anecdotal reports suggest that zeolite increases energy, immune function, and
general health.
10. Zeolite neutralizes the formation of nitrosamines in the stomach. Found in
processed meats, nitrosamines are one cause of stomach cancer. Another positive effect
on the stomach, according to many anecdotal reports, is relief of acid reflux.
11. Testimonials suggest that zeolite captures triggering antigens, which cause
allergies, migraines, and asthma, decreasing the rate and severity of these symptoms.
12. Zeolite directly absorbs free radicals and thus decreases free radical activity and
damage to the body.
