Dear Hugh,
I have told this story many times and each time I tell it, it becomes
clearer than many of our old ways for treating was more effective than
the treatments we receive today, but yet we need to progress and try
that is why there are clinical trials. For instance. I am sending you
to you a personal e-mail message for an anti-nausea cocktail or
combination that was so effective many years ago that was administered
in the hospitals. With the advent of the new meds, Zofran, Kytril,
Compazine, Reglan, which is given individually and could be very
expensive if not covered by insurance, these were the pills that were
suppose to work for the anti nausea syndrome after or during
chemotherapy and for many it does work well. But, for many it doesn't
as was the case with my Barb. We tried all the pills and I noticed
during my interview with many other cancer survivors that some of the
above pills did not work either. After a consultation with the head
pharmacist and our Oncologist and administrator of the hospital, it was
decided to give Barb the combination that was so effective years ago
prior to all the new anti nausea pills. Barb was so ill after and and
all 22 treatments that I was getting fed up with all these pills that
just did not work. She was losing weight and had severe case of
dehydration from not drinking enough or eating enough after chemotherapy
due to nausea and illness. So, to make a long story short, the
combination worked very well. In fact it worked so well that I
suggested this combination and the methods of dosage that we given to us
by our pharmacist to a number of others who were going thru chemotherapy
where the individual pills did now work. In all the cases and there were
about ten they also experienced no nausea after taking the combination.
Now the combination of pills have to be prescribed by your Doctor, but I
knew of no case where there were objections. They are common and have
been around for a while.
So, I will be e-mailing you shortly this combination of meds that worked
for us.
May I also recommend that Judy, eat one avocado a day. The reason
being is it has so many nutrients in it and is a natural fat that will
keep the healthy weight on her. Now, you may blend it in a variety of
things, like nayonaise which is a supstitute for mayonaise or tomatoes
or even in a blender.
HOpe all this helps and good luck. Let me know how her progress.
God Bless YOu
