Hi there, anyone who gets to the bottom of this post will feel they have just read a novel, and I do get off the beaten track at times, but as you read on, I find out that unknowingly I have discovered that submititng my posts are therapy for me as well, at times I have written long posts and the computer just eats them up, and I think oh well, I feel better anyway, so this message is just like the one in the front of the book or on the back cover. For the origianl topic, I can't stomach the liquid flaxseed oil, I have been taking the capsules for years now, 1000mg 4 a day, as well as the Fish Oil as well now, I did the subject of Flaxseed Oild to death on this board a while back, to the extent the readers thought I was selling the stuff like Amway, I was even asked the question, the whole Omega 3, Cox 2 inhibitor thing, instead of drugs like Celebrex. I used the linseed on my outdoor furniture, and as fast as I was putting it on my dogs were trying to lick it off, they did actually get into a plastic bottle of it, it didn't seem to do them any harm. I had my hair grow back while still on Taxol, I put it down to the flaxseed because my nails were growing fast and strong as well, turns out I have only just found out by accident surfing the net, that I was taking an anticonvulsant for nerve damage and I have been taking it since 1998 while having non stop treatments, some anticonvulsants impair Taxanes and it seems that the Taxol wasn't strong enough, my blood counts were never down and I was doing it weekly for 26 weeks, my next out break was only about 3 weeks after tests and being suposedly NED. I also found out that anticonvulsants impair Cyclosphamides (C), I had AC first up then rads (I have had hundreds since) then CMF, Taxotere, Taxol and now on Xeloda/Cycloblastin, tablet "C" I have dumped the Epelim and on Neurontin instead and hopefully this may knock it out, I have also had Navelbine,Carboplatin some drugs in the last 3 years with Herceptin, Femara and Aromasin. I do believe that a lot of the supplements I have taken and I am still taking have made a difference to my overall health because I have never looked sick or thrown up, just blown up with steroids. I took Essiac Tea for 5 years, I also have a mixed overlapping connective tissue disorder i.e. Lupus, Sjrogens, Sclerederma, Fibromyalgia and a few others for good measure, chronic heart failure 3 valves, hiroshimas thyroid, a collapsed humeral head on left shoulder and now torn right shoulder blade, so if it were not for the flaxseed and other supplements I think my body would have given in a long time ago, I added Hawaiin Spirulina to elevate the bodies PH level, we need to be in the range of 7, cancer cells won't survive in an Alkaline environment, I also bought a bottle of what tastes like pool chlorine to put oxygen in the blood, cancer cells don't like oxygen either, but like the liquid flaxseed I have trouble facing taking it. If I had been a horse or dog I would have been put down long ago, I also have to take an anti-depressant Prothieden 25mg which not only helps with the moods but is prescribed for Fibromyalgia and helps me sleep, also the Cyclosphamide is also used for Lupus and connective tissue disorders, so hopefully at the end of this I will be killing two birds with one stone, my girlfriend's opinion is that the BC and the Mixed connective tissue disorder are so busy fighting each other for poll position the rest of my body's immune system is coming out on top and that is why I am feeling well, a good theory and I like it. So thank you for sharing, and we will keep on looking for the magic bullet, I still have to organise the hypnosis theory to train my brain cells to recognise cancer cells and boot them out of my system, there is so much untapped in the human brain so the lock and key mechanism has to be there somewhere. The power of positive thinking is mind control and self hypnosis so it must count for something in spontaneous remission.......
