Re: Treatment Decision Time

Yeah..regarding the bisphosphonates and rads, was referring to Denise's post.

"Dr. Salazar even thinks that the vaccine and immune response could be responsible for some of the flair up."

I would be interested to know if the vaccine protocol includes GM-CSF, G-CSF or similar. The bit I read recently suggested Zometa could block the negative effects of GM-CSF, which is sometimes combined with vaccines.
I talked recently with a researcher who was investigating using Cytoxan to block unhelpful immune responses to cryotherapy so that helpful responses could turn local therapy into something with a systemic benefit. He seemed to think inflammation was helpful to the immune system. Strange..since inflammation has been considered largely negative to cancer patients.
