I hope everyone is feeling well. I have been having some health problems and I am unable to have Rituxan infusions due to the complications of double chemo. It seems that back when I was on Arava almost two years ago It helped to get old pancreatic cancer started in my body. I have two tumors in my pancreas, a nodule on my liver and one on my lung. The doctors are talking about taking part of my panceas out. That’s gonna be a tough surgery. Any who I was doing some research and came across the natural supplement that’s suppose to be good for RA it’s called Moringa. Has anyone tried it and did it help? I am looking for an alternative to Rituxan. Any help is appreciated.

I haven’t tried that. I read that if we can maintain the correct body PH cancer cannot grow. There’s some really interesting information about. You can test your PH using liptus strips which can be bought at a chemist. It kinda makes sense we have a little eco system within us but it’s finding a balance to assist it. I’m reading absolutely anything I can get my hands on. Even autogenic thinking. To talk to the affected areas and promote more healing cells. It might sound daft but anything and everything to feel better xxx
I don't belive that is all true. Your body has very complicated processes to keep your blood at a stable pH of around 7.3 and I agree with you that this is very important for your wellbeing. However the pH of your urine varies as you will excrete out anything uneeded to keep your body stable. As long as you're eating something, what you eat makes no difference to the acidity of your blood. And it is the pH levels of your blood that are critical.
If you think about it, your stomach is very, very acidic to digest food. Swallowing alkaline foods won't change this in the long term (if it did you wouldn't be able to digest this food) and the stomach will just produce more acid to counter it and keep at it's level. If you have an excess of stomach acid things like Bicarbonate can help temporarily, but you have to keep taking it.
If you have cystitis then making sure your urine is well diluted can help, but that's a temporary thing.
That’s the thing years ago any sign of illness it was a urine sample first usually done at the docs. Soon as you said you didn’t feel too good it was standard done there and then and tested straight away.
Anybody who has suspicious lumps or bumps or any out of the ordinary symptoms or skin lesions should SEE A DOCTOR.
Early diagnosis is the best way of beating any sort of cancer.
Ladies should definitely have mammograms...I had no symptoms at all, but a mammogram found I had a cancerous tumour....Luckily early enough for successful treatment.
Gentleman should also have any tests their GP advises to investigate testicular & prostate cancer.
Almost all three of the above cancers are curable if treated early enough.
When the average layman reads Dr Google ...... He often doesn't understand the full implications of what he reads ....please consult your GP who will be able fully investigate.
You are under the care of doctors & are anticipating surgery,.......please ask their opinion before taking any supplements. You say it is thought Arava caused your present problems .......you need to be very careful not to make things worse.
I have read about morninga , a herb used from ancient times. It is so rich in minerals and other essential nutrients that it is referred to in some cultures as ‘tree of life’.
This is probably not the best video about it but there are studies and plenty of back up to show the herb’s value; three minutes into the video come the interesting facts about nutrition.
Anyone undergoing treatment for cancer should not start experimenting with anything that might ingerfere with oncology treatment...even if no drugs are prescribed. It's the same with Auto Immune diseases...if doctors are carrying out expensive tests to help their patient,& the patient then takes some sort of herbal,mineral, chemical or even cosmetic substance without telling the doctor, that skews the clinical tests.....he could get incorrect results & give the wrong treatment.
Don't take anything unless approved by your doctor....a placebo effect could quite likely make you feel better, but could mean a vital test gives an incorrect result....& you are far worse in the long run.
Even the infuenza vaccine is not allowed for cancer patients on some chemotherapy regimes.
