Answer 1

Bhumiamla (Phyllanthus niruri):
Charaka mentions the plant. In ayurveda the expressed juice of the fresh plant is given for a sluggish liver and also for chronic liver diseases. It is commonly and widely used for dysentery and intestinal colic.

It is safe lipotropic drug and its primary action is on the liver. Blumberg showed in inhibition of DNA polymerase of Hepatitis b virus and a viral-agglutinating activity.


Ghritkumari (Aloe vera) :



Used for liver & spleen disorder.

Promotes & regulates menstrual period.

Hair vitaliser.

Liver disorder: Indian aloe is a form of cactus. After peeling the hard skin, the pulp to be cored from inside. Take a leaf from the pulp with black salt and ginger juice every morning for 10 days.


Kakmachi (Solanum nigrum):



Parts use for : leaves, whole plant, fruit.

It is used for: Viral hepatitis Swollen joints.



Diet :

Go for the boiled & spiceless diet. With vegetables- radish leaves, tomato, lemon . And dry fruits- dried dates with almonds & Cardemoms


Have plenty of sugarcane juice, orange juice, bitter Luffa and barley water.This enhances urination which helps eliminate excess bile pigments in the blood.

Answer 2

As you have heard, and are probably aware, the prognosis is usually pretty poor for these patients. Assuming the jaundice is not from another complaint, such as gall stones, then it is likely the reason for it is due to a tumour obstructing the bile ducts, which drain the bile from the liver where it is created, in the gall bladder, and then from the gall bladder to the duodenum (small bowel). Bile has, amongst other things, the breakdown products of old red blood cells, hence the pigmentation of it. If the bile is obstructed from taking it's normal path, jaundice develops. The skin becomes yellow, or even green in deeply jaundiced patients, and the urine becomes dark, with pale, clay like, offensive smelling stools. Itching, known medically as pruritus is a common symptom. I can't speak for other countries, but it would be likely over here that she would be considered for a procedure known as an ERCP. It is basically an endoscopic procedure where the endoscopes passes through the stomach in the duodenum. There is a point where the common bile duct (CBD) joins the duodenum, which is known as the ampulla (of vater). The scope is passed through this and up the bile ducts, to the point of obstruction. A guide wire is then passed through the stricture (tumour) and a stent is placed. The stent, either plastic, or metal, in effect opens up the bile duct allowing bile to drain as normal, and relieving many of the symptoms.

It doesn't i'm afraid improve the length of prognosis, but does improve the quality of life. I would presume the palliative care team are involved, and the aim will be mainly to make sure she has good pain control.

Can breast cancer spread to lever? Jaundice might have been because of infection in the lever. In allopathic treatment, there is no cure for Jaundice. However, it may aggravate with heavy food intake.

Anyways, the doctor is the best judge… you have to follow his instructions…

Have the doctors confirmed that the cancer has spread to the bones…?

It looks peculiar… you should have a detailed question session with the doctor (cancer specialist and not the physician) and clear the doubts… Has the cancer spread beyond the limits until it would have been possible to save the life of patient by removing the cancerous breast of the patient...? Have Jaundice and the cancer any relation.

We have heard that in the last stage in such cases vital organs like lever and kidney and finally heart face problems…

However, I feel that you should have a final question session with the doctors just to avoid any possible mistake you might be committing and may repent afterwards… that… had I did this or that… I could have saver her life…

Please convey my wishes to her… GET WELL SOON…

Answer 4

I am so sorry to hear about you sister.It sounds like she does not have much time left. The reason your sister has jaundice is because the cancer is blocking the liver's normal circulation.There is no alternative medicine for this if someone tells you that it is a lie.Has the doctor talked about Hospice.They really can help her.Sometimes doctors are afraid to speak to the family.Please contact your local Hospice today.It will be tested in the yellow pages.You can make the referral yourself.I went through this my self my mother died 11/2/05 from ovarian cancer.

Answer 5

i am sorry to say this. but stage 4 cancer is bad news.

added to the side efefcts of the chemotherapy /radiotherapy which the patient might be taking, these metastases in liver(secondaries) will only still deteriorate the patient.

u didnot mention the age of ur sis.and her general condition.

u mentioned that jaundice is already seen in blood test. in no time the yellowish tinge will appear in skin and conjunctiva etc.

anyway in general it is not very promising if liver is involved with secondaries. the patient will get jaundice and the later complications and will go in to coma.

i do not want to discourage u or uspet u. but i am detailing all this only bcz ur question requests for the info.

my mom expired with the same and i know hw miserable it is to see thm deteriorate day by day.and it wont be long before they succumb. depends on the stamina of the patient. could be a matter of months.

it is very sad tht the medical fraternity is not yet able to find a cure for cancer. one day i hope they do find a cure for this dreaded disease too.

in chennai there is an institute of tibetan medicine which claims to gv medicine for anything/everything.

for ur psychological satisfaction u can try tht institute.

Answer 6

Ask her to take the juice of white pumpkin (petha) in the morning in empty stomach, to take the decoction of ajwain and jeera by heating a tablespoon of each with 8 glasses of water till it is reduced to 5 whenever she feels thirsty and to take the tea of fenugreek seeds ( made by heaing a tablespoon of fenugreek seeds with three glasses of water till it is reduced to one) in the night. This should arrest jaundice in a week to ten days. For Cancer control, the best medication is get lucky through the grace of the universe. That is possible by doing meditation based on kundalini awakening under the guidance of an experienced spiritual teacher.

Answer 7

Give her Noni herbal fruit jui9ce which will reduce her suffering.

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.
