Need suggestions for warm drinks for cancer patients...?

Question

I have a friend who is a cancer patcient and can't drink cold fluids. But, he needs ALOT to drink. SO, what drinks can be served warm, are not acidy, and non caffinated? The more suggestions the better so as far fetched as something might be go ahead and write in, you'll at least get two points and I'll have more possible ideas.

Answer 1

*Warm milk
*Warm water (yuck, I know...make sure not to serve with an espeically salty meal with it...can cause very bad diarrhea)
*Vegetable broth (homemade organic with few preservatives is best- extremely nutritious, very little fat
*Chicken/Beef/Beef Broth(homemade organic/no preservatives are best)- skim the fat

Ask Doctor
*Herbal tea**IF THE DOCTOR SAYS IT'S OKAY AND ONLY IF IT IS OKAY!! IF YOUR FRIEND IS ON CHEMO RIGHT NOW, SOME HERBAL TEAS MAY INTERACT WITH THE CHEMOTHERAPY! ( make sure it's non-acidy, and check the box if there's a pH scale, should be close to 7 and not under 5**make sure it's not lemon/lemony/does not contain lemon rind/peel/zest and make sure the doctor says it's okay!)

Don't serve (even though they may seem okay):
hot chocolate- chocolate contains caffeine
alcoholic beverages- highly acidic (though I doubt you would)
*Hot apple cider- apples are acidic (and the pouch ones are especially bad)

If you would like to play it super safe, you can buy some homemade pH test strips (that indicate pH numbers).
1-5 very acidic to moderately acidic
5.5-Tea
6.5- Milk
7-Pure water
**Apple juice and orange juice have a pH of 3.5

Good luck finding great things for your friends to drink- I suggest the warm milk, broths and teas as being the best to serve. I hope that your friend will live an extremely long, healthy life- stay positive, and keep your friend positive...it's so important to keep as upbeat as possible. Good luck!

Please stop all the chemo therapy and doctor recommended medicines right away. Doctors dont want you to know of the alternative medicines that can actually CURE CANCER. If a doctor tells you the alternative medicines, they will be out of a job. How much does it cost for chemo therapy each time you take in those chemicals? This medicine is better and only $75 dollars a bottle. Each bottle lasts a month. You take an ounce per day, and after each dose, you eat a banana or eat potatoes. its called "CESIUM CHLORIDE."
The problem with chemo therapy is that they always say that they never know how each person will be affected by the chemicals. You could die the next day, or you can die in a month. BUT, you cannot live past 2 years. So, its not a good garauntee that you will extend your life for 2 years. The reason is because chemo therapy is a toxin. A poison that kills your body. And if it kills the cancers before it kills you then you are cured. And if the cancer dies before you die, you probably wont live past 5 years. Because even after the cancer is killed, your body is completely deteriorated. I bet you cannot ask 100 people who knew someone who went to chemo therapy and lived more then 5 years after defeating cancer. You might get lucky and find like 2 people. What are your chances that you will be that 2 lucky people that live? So, how good of a cure can chemo therapy be?
The key to defeating cancer is all over the net. But the people who sell these alternatives cannot say on their labels that their medicines cure cancer. It is against FDA rules. The reason is because if this is done, then doctors, hospitals, and pharmaceautical companies cannot make any money. So, according to FDA, it has to be stated on the bottles that it is for vitamins only, etc etc.
You can go find these medicines and take care of your cancers in 3 to 12 months. Just listen to me as I dont make anything off of this. I am only here to help. I am sick of these doctors and big companies making money off dyng people. Doctors wont tell you either. Its against their rules. Well, gee, they were ones who created these rules, so go figure. I believe there were like alot of medicines that take care of cancers. There is a top 10 list somewhere. I think cesium chloride is listed number 1 or 2 on the list.
I found a good bottle of this on www.nutrition2000.com. I think this was the address. You can always search the internet. Get the one that contains rubidium (I think this is how it is spelt). This helps your body absorb the medicine. Good luck my friend. And please pass this information to everybody you know that needs it.

I'm thinking herbal teas, green tea is good for cancer patients I hear and doesn't taste too bad. Hot chocolate, hot apple cider are nice and soothing, bringing back childhood memories. Put marshmellows in too? Beef and chicken broth is warm, soothing and healthy. And Jeffrey is right, just about any drink can be served warm or room temperature.

Answer 4

Herbal tea
Warm Milk
Hot Chocolate
Broth
Water
Water with a spritz of lemon (not a lot just enough to give it some flavor).
Just about any juice could be served at room temp. if it is not to acidic.
