Dear Susun,
A very good friend of my mom was just diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer and it is also in her lymph nodes. She will be starting chemotherapy within the next couple of days. Do you have any advice for infusions, poultices or anything that will help her?
Thank you very much for your time!
Hello,
I would highly recommend Susun's book, Breast Cancer? Breast Health!. She devotes a whole chapter to working with chemotherapy. There are so many side-effects that could crop up and it varies from person to person, but some things would be to add nettles to the diet, if she is not already using them. Eat the fresh cooked leaves, drink the infusions from the dried leaves - this helps with many of the common side-effects of chemo such as liver damage, kidney damage, fatigue, hair loss...
Help to support the liver - eat dandelion leaves, burdock root, use milk thistle tincture - Susun recommends 30 drops of the tincture to be taken right before chemo dose or no later than 15 minutes afterwards.
Astragalus root, honeysuckle and medicinal mushrooms such as reishii to help support immune system...
You can find excerpts and more about the book at Susun's site here: http://breasthealthcancerprevention.com/
We also have a room devoted to working with cancer at our forum here: http://healingwiseforum.com/viewforum.php?f=15
You will find a lot of additional information there as well.
blessings,
