THIS WEEK IN THE HSI FORUM
Doctors said his situation was hopeless. How many times have we
heard that one?
In an HSI Forum thread titled "Graviola progress report," an HSI
member named Bob tells how he took charge of the cancer
treatment for his father-in-law after the doctors threw in the towel.
Bob writes: "Month's ago my Father-in-law was diagnosed with
cancer. It was too late for chemo or radiation. 86 years old, the
Doctors basically said 'go home and die.' Everyone (except me)
accepted the inevitable. I purchased Graviola powder from
Equadorian products (intotherainforest.com) put the powder into
the smallest capsules, and explained to him that if this works, his
wife and none of his kids will ever have to go through what he's
going through.
"I prescribed 1 in the morning and 1 at night for the first week,
then have the nurse check the blood pressure (Graviola's side
effect). If no change then go to 2 in the morning and 2 at night for
a week and have the nurse check blood pressure, continue the
pattern of increase until he reaches 6 in the morning and 6 at night
(The highest level recommended by my studies). First he began to
hold down food. Eventually he started sleeping less."
And now? This man who was sent home to die "is keeping busy in
the garden."
In the e-Alert "Giving and Taking Care" (Thursday, 9/16/04 � see
below), I told you about an HSI member named Mary who also
had very positive results using graviola to care for her father who
had lung cancer. And with more than 25 individual threads about
graviola on the Forum, it would seem that quite a few HSI
members have found out about this remarkable cancer-fighting
botanical.
A member named Howard writes: "My brother recently had an
annual physical and his PSA was very elevated. He's 77 years old
and his doc insisted that he take chemo in a pill form to lower the
number. He started the chemo, but informed his doc that he was
going to take graviola in addition to the chemo pills. He shrugged
and said it wouldn't help, but OK'd the use. After 60 days, his PSA
had dropped to infinitesimal numbers. The doc was very excited.
He said he had never seen this form of chemo work like this. When
my brother reminded him that he had been taking graviola daily
and drinking the tea, the doc shrugged it off as unimportant. So
much for medical open mindedness!"
The medical mainstream may not be open minded about herbal
treatments for cancer, but those of us who take a great interest in
alternative health care need to be open minded about potential
drawbacks. In this case, graviola has been known to interact poorly
with antidepressants. It may also affect blood pressure, so patients
with hypertension or hypotension should be especially cautious in
using graviola. And as a member named Melly notes: "Please do
not forget that Graviola is antimicrobial and the good bacteria in
the stomach might 'die' with prolonged use and strong dosages
ingested." Melly suggests eating yogurt to protect good bacteria �
a good suggestion, as long as the yogurt contains live cultures.
And a member named Jo reports on another unusual side effect and
how to cope with it. When her husband (who has prostate and bone
cancer) began taking graviola, he experienced a state of "altered
consciousness." She writes, "He described it as a waking
nightmare. He skipped the next day's dose, then resumed at a lower
dose, then worked his way up to 5 grams over a 7 day period. He
has been symptom free for some months now."
Obviously, graviola is a powerful natural agent that should be used
with care. And as HSI Panelist Allan Spreen, M.D., has pointed out
before, cancer is too great a challenge to handle alone. If you feel
comfortable using alternative treatments to fight such a formidable
health problem, it's best to do it with the guidance of an
experienced doctor or health care professional. For an
extraordinary insight into one patient's decision to leave the
mainstream behind to treat his cancer, see below for this week's e-
Alert "A Road Less Traveled" (9/14/04).
If you'd like more information about using graviola to fight cancer,
HSI Panelist Jon Barron has devoted an entire article to graviola on
his Cancer Tutor web site; cancertutor.com.
Other topics on the HSI Forum this week include:
* Raw milk question
* Flickering/shimmering vision
* Zoloft and Xanax
* Diabetes
* Tests for candida
* Any natural anti-fungals?

Waiting to Exhale
If your doctor recommends that you use inhaled steroids to treat
asthma or other chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, take a
deep breath and say... Let's talk about it. We'll tell you about a
new study that illustrates how the use of inhalers may trigger a
serious side effect that reveals itself slowly and worsens as we age.

A Road Less Traveled
When diagnosed with cancer in 1994, Michael Gearin-Tosh decided
to forgo chemo for a regimen that included a strict diet of mostly
whole foods, mega-doses of supplements, and acupuncture. We�ll
examine the remarkable book that Mr. Gearin-Tosh wrote about
how he took charge of his cancer therapy, and not only survived,
but thrived.

Take the D Train
We've seen quite a run of impressive studies about vitamin D over
the past couple of years. Now, two recent studies illustrate again
just how vital vitamin D is to our overall health, delivering
essential benefits for muscles, the heart, the brain and even dental
health. We'll also take a look at the best sources of this
indispensable vitamin.

Giving and Taking Care
By any measure, radiation is a harsh cancer therapy that sometimes
solves problems while creating others. When an HSI member
writes to ask for advice on how to cope with one of the most
common side effects of radiation therapy, HSI Panelist Allan
Spreen, M.D., offers specific insights on nutrition for those who
are most in need of wholesome foods.

RAVEN MAD
Let's say your football team has the league's best defensive
player, a record-breaking running back, and a tight end with
incredible reach. Then add to that the fact that the team is
facing a defense that essentially stood and watched as that
same running back rushed for over 500 yards in just two
games. But wait, it gets better... You're also facing a
quarterback that had the worst game of his professional
career the last time he faced you. Should be a slam dunk,
right?
Well, someone should tell that to the Ravens. Bad play calling,
absolutely no offense, inexcusable turnovers, and the
unfortunate absence of the biggest offensive lineman
anywhere (the injured Jonathan Ogden) all combined to make
the Ravens first meeting with the Browns end a little differently
than anyone expected. An embarrassing 20-3 loss is not how
the Ravens should have started the season � and they know it.
I can only hope when these two teams meet again, on
November 7 in Baltimore, the Ravens remember the feeling of
walking off the field last Sunday and then step up to play the
game the way we know they can.
Coming off an embarrassing loss may be just the thing they
need, however, as they prepare to face another divisional rival
for their home opener this Sunday. When the Pittsburgh
Steelers take the field at M&T Bank Stadium, it will be a little
different than every time before. This time, they're coming
back after a loss. Before last season, Baltimore had never
beaten Pittsburgh here. And they won't do it again if they bring
the same team that showed up last week. It's early in the
season for a must-win, but that's exactly what this is. With
more pro-bowlers than any other team and the addition of
Kevin Johnson, Baltimore should be able to get the job done
this season. And proving that starts with a win against
Pittsburgh this Sunday.
