Sorry I forgot to say. We are going to try this with my Dad. 3 weeks after initial presentation Dad was told on friday that his gastric cancer cannot be operated on.. so we are looking at a few months.
How ever other him not being bothed about eating, he only feels tired, but the cancer team confirmed this may be mainly due to the lack of nutrients he is consuming.He is prepared to try everything to try to build himself back up, improve his quality of life and make what ever time he has left the best he possibly can.
I think that your father has the right attitude - we have to make the best of what life we have, regardless of how long we have on this earth, and we wish you all well in what are going to be challenging times.
The body absorbs nutrition through the digestive system and it is always worth checking on nutrition and mineral levels. Sometimes tiredness can be due to lack of iron / vitamin B12 which is produced by the top part of the stomach - or something that prevents the absorption process from working properly
Personally I have never heard about the hydrogen peroxide food grade you mention - but that does not mean anything. The cancer world is not short of people who swear by various remedies and strategies and I sincerely hope that it is successful. All medication / chemicals going into the body will have some effect and probably a counter-effect.
