know anything about dying from leukemia? my husband is on his way & i don't know how to deal with it?

Answer 1

Five hundred years ago, people said the world was flat. Today, people say that if the FDA and AMA haven't blessed something, it can't be real good. Well, here's something I know to be real AND good. It's a little different take on cancer treatment--

In 1990, I had Hodgkin's Lymphoma, stage 3-B, but I've survived. My doctors were great people, but they were limited to surgery, chemo and radiation by profitable AMA treatment policy. During the year in treatment, I started learning about alternative medicine. I'm a retired engineer, and this is what I've pieced together--our IMMUNE SYSTEMS become weakened by poor nutrition, lack of exercise and reduced oxygen. Once that happens, our body becomes vulnerable to common STRESSORS. Stressors can be environmental, like viruses, heavy metals, pesticides, food additives, electromagnetic waves or pollution. They can be internal things like emotional or job stress, or poisonous people in our lives. Aging is also a contributing factor. So this means:

WEAK IMMUNE SYSTEM + STRESSORS = DISEASE (cancer, diabetes, heart disease, etc.)

Our bodies have 60 trillion--yes, trillion--cells, and there are always some mutating into cancer cells, but a healthy immune system kills them before they have a chance to get a foothold in the body.

It takes a LONG time, usually, or a high level of stressors, to weaken the immune system to the point where it won't do its job, but once cancer has formed, it will generally spread rapidly.

THIS IS IMPORTANT! There are ways to BEAT cancer that are currently being used in Europe and around the world, and there are some great books on the subject. I know because I've read about 50 of them from cover to cover. Here's a list of the best ones. Some are out of print and getting hard to find--

"The Cure for All Cancers", ISBN 0963632825
"A Cancer Therapy", ISBN 0882681052
"Oxygen Therapies", ISBN 0962052701
"Hydrogen Peroxide--Medical Miracle", ISBN 1885236077
"The Natural Cure for Cancer--Germanium", ISBN 0533071410
"Killing Cancer", ISBN 0705000966
"Natural Cures 'They' Don't Want You to Know About", ISBN 0975599518

I know of people whose cancer has 'spontaneously remitted' (WENT AWAY for no known reason) AFTER they went on programs of herbs and nutrition to restart their immune systems.

You and your family must look out for yourselves to stand a chance of being healthy. This is not a joke, and I'm not selling anything--just trying to help.
I am using the things I learned in those books right now to fight off a second infestation of cancer. I've been at it for over a year now, and think I'm going to make it. Use what works for you, and pass on your success. Best of luck.

AMA AND FDA--
The American Medical Association (AMA) and the pharmaceutical companies control medical law and the FDA in this country with heavy lobbying and a revolving door policy. WHY would they want to do this? It's about the money. In 2004, medicine (doctors, hospitals, researchers and pharmaceutical firms) received 1.1 TRILLION dollars--1/4th of the total earnings (GNP 4.4 trillion) in the U.S. This is astounding, it means MILLIONS of people worked the whole year just to pay the nation's medical expenses!! That's totally astounding, and just too big to care about individuals.

Answer 2

I'm so sorry you are dealing with this. I understand exactly what you are going through. The first thing is that . . absolutely no one knows when someone is going to die. You sound as if you are out of options? I am unsure from your statement what part of treatment your husband is currently under? Has he just been diagnosed? Have you been told that there are no more options? It is hard to really know how to respond to your question.

I would suggest that you contact some of the online support groups that can help guide you with whatever is going on in your situation.

Cancer Care (online social workers offer support)

Good luck to you and stay strong. There is always hope.

Answer 3

The following organization is a good resource for information on leukemia:
* The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society - www.leukemia.org
Please see the web pages for more details on Leukemia.

Answer 4

There are boards on the leukemia site to help you connect with others who can help you & your husband cope. You should also ask your husbands Dr. about local groups for support.

Have you considered speaking with your local church? It doesn't matter if your a member, most have grief counseling. Your local hospice can also direct you to help.

Link # 2 deals in particular with your issue.

I am very sorry for your troubles and hope that you can find the help you need during this sad time.

Answer 5

Hey, I'm sorry about your loss, I bet its hard to lose some one close to you. As for the information on dying of leukemia, your husbands doctor might be able to give you more information on that, seeing as sometimes, the information on here isnt always acurate. But as for you having trouble dealing with death, I suggest you talk to your doctor for a refferal to a Hospice orginazation near you, Hearts for Hospice is a wonderful program, They help the patient, as well as the family, through their trouble and hard times, and they are a non profit orginazation, they dont cost any money because the people there know that one more medical bill is nothing you need right now.

Answer 6

The human nature is and should always be 'to be an optimist'. Lukemia, and for that matter, any cancer, is not a disease having definite result oriented treatment either under modern medicine or under the alternative medicines or other methods of treatments.
However, it is also equally true that patients of lukemia were either cured or got good quality life extension by opting to explore the available avenues of treatment.
In such situations, the verse of Bhagvad Geeta which means that you should do your karma or duty regardless of outcome aptly apply.

Answer 7

.HI! I'm a +1 Bi.P.C student...
Leukemia is a type of cancer caused due to radioactive pollution, by Iodine-131, that damages bone marrow.

It is a malignant disease in which there is an uncontrolled poliferation of LEUCOCYTES in the BONE MARROW. The cells fail to mature into adult cells and thus cannot function as part of the defence mechanism against INFECTIONS. Symptoms include ANAEMIA, bleeding, ready bruising with enlargement of the SPLEEN, LIVER & LYMPH NODES.

Acute Leukaemia is of a sudden onset, while a chronic form has a slower development. Leukaemia is also classified acc. to the types of cells involved.
TREATMENT includes RADIOTHERAPY, CHEMOTHERAPY & BONE MARROW TRANSPLANTS, and although there is no guarantee of cure, the outlook has improved in the recent years. The remission and survival rates vary with the different forms of LEUKAEMIA.

GOOD NEWS: The trees of the TROPICAL RAIN FORESTS provide medicinal plants like 'Vinca', from which anti-cancer drugs like VINBLASTIN & VINCRISTIN are obtained.

But console yourself, saying to your heart that WHOM 'GODS' LOVE DIE YOUNG & death is not in our hands to control, coz it's our FATE.

Be BOLD... ALL THE BEST!!

Answer 8

i'm so sorry. Perhaps his doctor or the hospital could direct you to some help groups or a counselor.

Answer 10

Very sorry for this unfortunate thing. Give him Noni fruit juice diluted in water 5 to 6 times a day. Chances are that he may recover and live longer.

Cancer
By Dr.Rangadhar Satpathy
Cancer is a cellular malfunction.
Noni’s effect to cure cancer work in cellular level.
The sooner a cancer is detected, the greater the chance of remission.
Noni helps to fight the cancer in the following way
(A) By its anti carcinogenic agent

Noni juice contains 150 neutraceuticals. Among them six have been shown to fight cancer.

(1) Polysaccharides
Polysaccharides are found abundant in Noni. Polysaccharides block the adhesion of mutated cells to other cells, so stopping metastasis. Blocking the adhesion of mutated cells to new cell depends on the density of the polysaccharides sulphate groups, their mol.wt and their carbohydrate structure.
(2) Anthraquinones
•Damnacanthal, an anthraquinone inhibits the growth of malignant cells.
•Alizarin, another antraquinone block the blood circulation to the malignant tumors, hence prevents its growth.
•Anthraquinone reduces the cytochrome c (a hem protein whose main function is electron transport using the hem prosthetic group. It act as a cancer causing agent in the body) inside the body without causing the formation of any new free radicals. (Source – from the research study conducted by group of scientist in Japan 1990)
(3) Epigollocatechin gallate (EGCg)
•EGCg is a polyphenolic flavonoid antioxidant found in abundant in Noni.
•EGCg prevent the growth of malignant cells and so induce apoptosis.
•In cancer cell the enzyme NOX is active all time. In normal cell the NOX is only active during cell division in response to Growth hormone signal. The EGCg interferes the tumor associated activity of NOX. (Source – From the research study on Noni juice)
(3) Terpenes compound :
•It helps in preventing the proliferation of malignant cells and induces apoptosis.
•Limonene one terpens has been shown to prevent mammary, liver, lungs carcinoma and also may be effective in treating leukemia.
•Beta carotene, other terpenes helps to stimulate thymus gland to secrete more T- cells that destroys the carcinoma cells.
•Ursolic acid, one terpen compound has anti carcinogenic effect both externally and internally to prevent the growth of cancerous cell and inducing apoptosis. (Source- research conducted by the National Cancer Institute, Finland)
(4) Proxeronine
Dr.Heinicke’s theory suggests that xeronine (conversion from proxeronine by the enzyme proxeroninase) combines with various biochemical’s and building blocks i.e. hormones, proteins, enzymes, serotonins, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants in intracellular level. The Golgi apparatus and reticuloendothelium then assemble the necessary compounds into a specific ‘package’ – that ‘package’ is sent from healthy cells to deranged cells to help in regeneration or rebuild the damaged cells.

Sqamous cell carcinoma
Noni helps to prevents proliferation of cancer cell & Hence prevents cell mitosis
(B) Modulating the body Immune process.
Noni helps to modulate the production, activity and effectiveness of some immune system agent. That are –
• Nitric Oxide:
Nitric Oxide is produced by activated macrophages plays a role in the host protection against pathogen as well as malignant tumor. Noni increases the body’s biosynthesis of nitric oxide
• Interleukin:
Noni modulate the production, activity and effectiveness of interleukin-2 that enhances the production of B-cell antibodies and also the cytotoxicity character of Natural Killer (NK) cells.
• Interleukins:
Noni modulate the production & activity of interferon-y that helps in the activation of macrophages and the over all process of cell mediated immunity. (Source- Dr.Hirajumi report)
• Tumor necrosis factor (TNF):
Tumor necrosis factor from various macrophages destroys the malignant cells. Noni modulate the production, activity of TNF from the macrophages
• Lipopolysachrides (LPS):
The LPS in serum stimulate the body’s immune process to eliminate any pathogens. Noni help to modulate the production of LPS in serum thus increases the immune process of the body.
• Natural killer cells (NK cells):
Noni helps to modulate the production of NK cells that destroys the malignant cells.
Thus Noni juice is multifaceted in its approach to fight cancer.
