I had one outbreak while pregnant.

That's how I found out I had the virus. I started taking and antiviral and took it everyday twice a day to make sure I wasn't able to get an outbreak. I debated whether I wanted to have my daughter natural or csection. Stress wasn't helping my situation. I ended up having her natural and she is a beautiful healthy 2 month old baby girl. I try not to think about me having the virus because of my depression i couldn't. Maggi to help you get rid of the virus. Thanks Doc am so happy today,.

Thanks Doc am so happy today. I was diagnosed of herpes 3 years, and ever since then i have been taking treatment to prevent outbreaks, burning and blisters, but there was no improvement until i came across testimonies of Dr. Okasi on how he has been curing different people from different diseases all over the world, then i contacted him.

After our conversation he sent me the medicine which i took according to his instructions for up to 3 weeks. After completing the medication i went back to my doctor for another test and the virus was all gone and i was completely cured, since then i have not had any signs of outbreak. I'm so filled with joy. I refer Dr Okasi to everyone out there with the virus Email: Suffering from herpes virus is a terrible experience because i was told it has no cure,the good news am happily sharing now is the great power behind herbal medication i got diagnosed of herpes virus in the year and in i started having outbreaks and it became more terrible for me to bare,One blissful morning i came across a blog comment posted by a man call Thompson on how he was cured of herpes simplex virus type 2 with the herbal medication of Dr Ehimare who is a specialist in curing all kinds of std virus and chronic disease with herbs,i immediately copied out his contact mail that was drehimarespelltemple gmail.

I have been taking Antiretroviral Drugs for 6 years and I have made many attempts to end my life rather than living on Drug since conventionally, there is no cure for Hiv virus. I am one of those who does believe there is no cure for viral infections because all my efforts to live a normal life like every other persons did not yield any good result. It was at the verge of giving up, I read on the internet about Dr APAMA and a lot of people are saying good things about him and how he is healing infected persons from various diseases.

I sincerely advice everyone out there with incurable diseases such as: This is Apama Email; Drapamaherbalhealingcentre gmail. Here is my Email Lindamoss gmail. Natural herbs have cured so many illness that drugs and injection cant cure. I've seen the great importance of natural herbs and the wonderful work they have done in people's lives.

Ogba Kosu herbal medicine, so i decided to contact the him because i know nature has the power to heal anything. I was diagnosed with hiv for the past 7 years but Dr. Ogba Kuso cured me with his herbs and i referred my aunt and her husband to him immediately because they were both suffering from herpes but they were cured too. If I were to remove those three words, you would have absolutely nothing to object to, and even with those three words in there, quite frankly, there isn't anything that is technically wrong.

But that didn't stop you from going off on a tear and hijacking the thread. It was just damned rude. So if some of my words were a bit I'm sorry about that. Krebiozen That is awesome! Super useful stuff, now when someone says eating citrus fruit "alkalinises the body" I can say, sure it does but, a the effect is tiny b the effect is transient and c it stresses your mechanisms for excreting CO2 and d it certainly won't cure any specific malady.

I'm going to approach it from first principles.

Seven Foods that Fight Cancer Naturally

Emphysema is a disease of impaired CO2 excretion. Increased CO2 build up creates an acidosis which is compensated for by decreased renal bicarbonate excretion. A typical blood gas will have pCO2 of 60 pH slightly acidotic or low end of normal and a bicarb of say Boston "4 for 10" rule. I've given this a lot of thought, and i'm still not sure but i think giving the lemon juice will make her acidosis worse.

As discussed there is both a CO2 and a bicarbonate load associated with ingesting lemon juice, the bicarb increase would increase the pH resolve the acidosis , but the CO2 cannot be easily excreted so it would accumulate, which worsens the acidosis. There is much more CO2 produced so the impaired CO2 excretion would dominate, worsening the acidosis?

Interestingly a treatment for severe chronic CO2 retention in people with COPD in intensive care is an infusion of dilute hydrochloric acid via a central line. The idea being you neutralise the accumulated bicarbonate, the CO2 goes up, pH goes down and suddenly their desire to breath returns! I've never seen it though, just read about it. Orac your grievance is valid and I apologise for the thread hijack, it was poor behaviour on my behalf. It was absolutely a " wrong on the internet" moment. For the record I'm a big fan of this blog I've been reading it for years, perhaps in future my contribution will be more on topic.

On a different tangent, one question that often comes to mind reading your pieces, don't you get depressed discovering and rediscovering the mind numbing woo out there? The anti-vax, the chiroquacks, the homeopaths etc. Reading about them here gives me a strong sense of despair about the direction society is taking. Karssan, I find it interesting that clinicians tend to ignore volatile acids since, assuming their patient is breathing, they are simply exhaled. Non-volatile acids and excess alkali can be almost as easily excreted by the kidneys, but of course renal impairment is common and this can't be taken for granted.

As a biochemist, I am more interested in my equations balancing, so the volatile acids are just as important as the non-volatile. I think this is where our differences arise. I agree with you about the lemon juice making our hypothetical emphysemic patient's acidosis worse. I'm sure you see my point, so I won't labor it.. I actually learned something and I may have actually understood what you were saying. Let's see if I did. So in the end I gathered that: CItrus has a transient, vanishiingly tiny alkalizing effect on the urine, but not on our body's systems as a whole.

Yes, I also lots. It seems that healthy people do not have to worry, and that the problems with acid, etc mostly occur with surgery and severe illnesses. I too thoroughly enjoyed the scientific exchange in this thread. I should also point out that she hasn't returned with her earth shattering evidence of its efficacy that was meant to be published in April. Someone should email her or something Marssan, I really hope you continue to comment here, just wanted to echo others as far as how much I enjoyed this exchange.

People outside of academia tend not to realize that these sort of exchanges happen all the time in science Having waded through a lot of the literature some years ago, I know that there are some relatively mainstream researchers who believe that the increased acid load from our diets leads to chronic disease.

They usually look at potential renal acid load, and their work is often published in nutrition journals, for example this paper PDF which states that:. An established method of estimating acid loads of foods or diets is by calculating the potential renal acid load PRAL. PRAL provides an estimate of the production of endogenous acid that exceeds the level of alkali produced for given amounts of foods ingested daily.

The evidence I have seen suggests that these effects are actually due to high animal protein diets being low in calcium, magnesium and potassium all important for bone health , and also because high protein diets increase dietary calcium absorption and this is why urinary calcium excretion is increased e. In a case control study that controlled for calcium intake, animal protein appeared to protect against osteoporotic fracture.

However, sodium bicarbonate does not have the same effect , which strongly suggests the potassium, not the bicarbonate, is responsible. However, serum bicarbonate correlates with serum BUN I can't find a reference at present , which strongly suggests it is mild renal impairment that is responsible for this acidosis, not accumulation of acids from the diet.

Also, I note that vigorous exercise produces a lot of volatile and non-volatile acids, which our bodies manage to excrete with little problems. I have done metabolic profiles on marathon runners after a race, and they all had impressive metabolic acidoses which resolved within the space of several hours. I don't understand why some people believe we can excrete the acids from exercise, but accumulate acids from meat and cheese.

The following is from some notes I made a few years ago, and I don't have the references for the figures quoted, but I believe them to be accurate, and I think it is a good refutation of the claims of Young and his ilk. A normal person produces about 1 kilogram 15, mEq of carbon dioxide, which is exhaled and mEq of organic acids from anaerobic metabolism every day.

If we exercise vigorously we will produce considerably more than this exercise can produce as much as 40 mEq of acids every minute , but luckily our lungs have a huge ability to exhale carbon dioxide obviously we hyperventilate when we exercise , and our kidneys are capable of excreting mEq of acids every day by using some clever jiggery pokery.

Let's compare this to the amount of acidity generated by a very acid-forming foods, like cheese. A hard cheese will generate about 20 mEq of acids for every grams about 4 ounces ingested. Soda drinks like colas contain about 2. The organic acids generated by exercise are functionally identical to those generated by the consumption of acid-producing foods. So, to overwhelm your body's capacity to excrete acids, you would have to drink hundreds of liters of cola every day, or eat several pounds of cheese or meat every day.

I don't believe this happens, and I don't believe that chronic diseases are due to the large amounts of acid-producing foods in modern unhealthy diets. I thought it was a good idea to give an amp of bicarb to hasten the compensatory metabolic alkalosis. I haven't been able to straighten this out in my mind to figure out who was right. MadisonMD, Thankfully I never had to make such decisions but, based on my training and experience, because respiratory acidosis doesn't cause the severe electrolyte disturbances that you see in metabolic acidosis, and because, as I understand it, these deranged electrolytes are the immediate life-threatening problem, I would guess that bicarbonate isn't indicated in respiratory acidosis.

That said, I don't think it would do any harm either since, as you say, increasing bicarbonate one way or another is how the body will compensate anyway. Please don't base any patient management on this! MadisonMD, The question of bicarbonate in respiratory acidosis keeps surfacing in my brain, and a couple of other ideas have emerged. Looking at your patient as a bicarbonate buffering system I know it's really more complicated than that: I'm not sure what effects an increased pCO2 has, other than lowering pH.

The other thing that occurred to me is that alkalosis is much more dangerous than acidosis in hypoxia, because oxygen binds more tightly to hemoglobin at higher pH, so giving bicarbonate to a hypoxic patient may make things worse. Higher than normal CO2 and elevated hydrogen ion concentration are extremely potent stimuli for ventilation. You will almost immediately feel a powerful and unpleasant sensation of needing to breath. You've just delivered a hit of CO2 to the brain and the chemoreceptors in the medulla that trigger ventilation go nuts.

In the emphysematous patient with an acute exacerbation of their disease, they are unable to breath out the CO2 due to mechanical changes in their lungs. They still feel the sensation of needing to breath though. As Krebiozen says, giving the bicarb solution you do 2 things, decrease the acidosis and increase the CO2.

As pCO2 rises beyond a certain level about 80 mmHg it stops being a ventilatory stimulant and becomes a central nervous system depressant.

Look up CO2 narcosis for more detail. So MadisonMD, by giving the bicarb solution you could easily have worsened the patient's condition by increasing their CO2 and potentially taken away some drive to breath. The combination of the two could have lead to a decompensation of the respiratory failure leading to worsened hypoxia leading to an intubated bed in the ICU Off topic still i know but MadisonMD asked the question and we couldn't just leave him hanging The patient in my memory had acute hypercarbic respiratory failure with normal oxygen not uncommon with COPD flare.

Tachypnic, unable to lower CO2. Over time, I would expect renal compensation to raise HCO3 allowing pH to normalize despite hypercarbia. I see both your points about making pCO2 go up in this patient which yes if high enough causes CO2 narcosis--no need to look it up, I've seen it.

I guess whether it is good or bad depends on whether raising pH is worth it given cost of raising pCO2.

I accept that higher CO2 could be worse. Fortunately, I was admitting to stepdown unit, I don't think a vent was needed if I remember right. I think my one ampule had a minimal effect. I don't remember coming across CO2 narcosis before, and I found it interesting, but I'm a bit puzzled. Doesn't elevated CO2 as opposed to low O2 stimulate respiration? How does giving oxygen suppress this? Is the respiratory center also affected by high O2 levels? People with acute exacerbations of obstructive airways disease don't die from the acidosis.

They die from hypoxia. The danger of the elevated CO2 is that you need higher and higher supplemental oxygen concentration to maintain adequate pO2 in the blood. Eventually CO2 narcosis sets in and once it does, without rapid treatment they are minutes to hours away from dying. Krebiozen - yes elevated CO2 stimulates ventilation but only to a point, once the CO2 rises enough, CO2 narcosis leads to decreased level of consciousness and hypoventilation.

Giving oxygen doesn't suppress ventilation in a normal person but in someone who is chronically hypercapnic their sensitivity to high CO2 is reduced, thus they become dependent on hypoxia as a driver of ventilation. Thus giving these people oxygen eliminating their hypoxia is thought to decrease their drive to breath and worsen their condition.

The idea in this last paragraph is contentious and there is some controversy as to whether what i've written is actually true however it is the current "textbook" teaching regarding control of ventilation. The danger of the elevated CO2 is that you need higher and higher supplemental oxygen concentration to maintain adequate pO2 in the blood which may or may not be realised by the treating team.

How to Beat Cancer on the Cheap

Without treatment of the cause of elevated CO2, the patient inevitably tires and a deadly spiral of climbing CO2 sets in, until eventually CO2 narcosis sets in, they become stuporous and without rapid treatment they are minutes to hours away from dying. Thanks for that explanation. If I understand you correctly, as pCO2 increases at first it stimulates respiration, but at higher partial pressures it is a general CNS depressant and thus depresses respiration.

I think I'm right in saying that partial pressures of gases 'compete', in that they can only add up to atmospheric pressure, so if pCO2 goes up, pO2 goes down and vice versa - if the blood has a high pCO2, less pO2 can dissolve in the lungs. I wonder if CO2 narcosis is related to the nitrogen narcosis you see in divers who surface too quickly - there is no longer enough pressure to keep the nitrogen that dissolved in their blood at depth dissolved, so it forms bubbles in the blood, with devastating results. Could increasing CO2 in the blood come out of solution as bubbles? I also wonder about CO2 binding to hemoglobin at higher partial pressures to form carbaminohemoglobin.

Presumably a patient could be hypoxic with a normal pO2 because of elevated CO2 and carbaminohemoglobin in place of oxyhemoglobin. I found an old paper that states that it is rapidly rising pCO2 that causes narcosis. If it rises slowly the body adapts. I have seen similar things in renal failure patients with ludicrously high potassium levels, when they have crept up slowly. I should definitely pronounce, impressed with your web site.

I had no trouble navigating through all tabs as well as related info ended up being truly simple to do to access. I recently found what I hoped for before you know it at all. Is likely to appreciate it for those who add forums or anything, web site theme.

As a holistic nurse, I am treating a patient sent home to die with inoperable brain cancer. What would you need to prove that the treatment I am using is truly working? We are only 4 months into the 6 he was given to live. He is continuing to get better day by day. Steele, that is a nice story. Please post the case report when you write up your cure next year.

Would the treatment you're using be the peanut butter, blackstrap molasses or chewing gum? My apologies for my tone Mr Steele. You may indeed make a difference in your patient's life and that is a good thing, but cancer is a tricky beast. One remission does not an effective treatment make. I do wish you and the man you are helping all the best. A well designed appropriately controlled clinical study, with a large number of patients enrolled, which actually demonstrates the treatment you're using is working. In other words, the same evidence that demonstrates aspirin is effective, or Claritan is effective, or Zithromycin is effective, or If so it is quite possible that most or all of the tumor was removed or destroyed, and that any apparent improvements are due to post-op or post radiotherapy inflammation slowly resolving.

This small study , for example, found that: In 9 out of 32 patients, the first post-radiotherapy MRI showed progressive enhancement. In 3 of these 9 the MRI improved or stabilized for 6 months without additional treatment. So if you had treated these 3 patients, it would have looked as if your treatment was working, even on CT scans and MRIs.

A single case can't prove anything, since the patient may be responding to previous conventional treatment, and even if not, spontaneous remission has occasionally been reported in brain cancer PDF. You should be aware that estimates of survival are merely educated guesses, the median of a very wide range of possibilities. The only way to determine if a treatment is truly increasing survival is to conduct a randomized clinical trial.

If you don't have this, at the very least, on what basis are you treating patients, and how can you justify charging I assume them money for this treatment?

An alternative cancer cure testimonial for brain cancer, but not from Stanislaw Burzynski this time facebook twitter reddit linkedin email print. By oracknows on July 26, Young, but rather a naturopath named Bernardo Majalca who treated Josie using the same sort of brain dead ideas about human physiology that Young believes, which is probably why Young trumpets her story so proudly: Her parents searched the internet for anything that could help their daughter and found Dr Bernardo Majalca, a naturopath, who offered them hope as well as a natural cure for Josie.

I'll embed it here: More like this An advertisement for Stanislaw Burzynski masquerading as a news story. Although I don't write about him as much as I used to, there was a time a couple of years ago when Houston cancer quack Stanislaw Burzynski was a frequent topic of this blog. His story, detailed in many posts on this blog and in an article I wrote for Skeptical Inquirer, is one that involves many….

I was very pleased last Friday, very pleased indeed. Given the normal subject matter of this blog, in which we face a seemingly unrelenting infiltration of pseudoscience and quackery into even the most hallowed halls of academic medicine, against which we seem to be fighting a mostly losing battle…. Another Burzynski patient dies. If there's one thing that practitioners of dubious cancer therapies rely upon, it's testimonials.

If there's one such practitioner who really, really relies on testimonials, it's Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski, founder of the Burzynski Clinic. Burzynski is known for what he refers to as "…. Two Stanislaw Burzynski's "success stories". One of the strategies that Stanislaw Burzynski will undoubtedly use to "prove" in Eric Merola's new Stanislaw Burzynski movie that antineoplastons work in cancer will be to highlight "success stories.

It sounds like Dr. Bernado is also a promotor of German New Medicine. I hope this child is still alive and cancer-free. I'll make the popcorn. Dude, we're not the ones trying to claim that lemons are alkaline. To Khani and Orac. If you're going to mock the quackery, get your science right. From the actual medical literature, not just your say so.

Chris None of what i'm saying is controversial. Sadly the link posted by Narad is to a post by Krebiozen who gets it spectacularly wrong. I sense you all being judgmental. Lawrence No I make no such claim. Orac Missing the point. Eating a lemon you are adding more base to the system than acid. The blood compartment is briefly being alkalinised. To elaborate Think back to high school chemistry when you first made a buffer solution. I feel like I am a chem TA again Yes citric acid is multi-protic, but lets not confuse the scenario unnecessarily. Next What happens if you drink a citric acid solution, not a buffer, just some pure citric acid dissolved in water.

Is there a raised urine pH when we consume citrus fruits? Marssan, BUT eating citrus foods like lemons, oranges and limes DOES have an alkalinising effect on the body one that is corrected immediately by increasing urinary bicarbonate excretion, maintaining your pH around 7. No dietary modification can change your homeostatic pH set point. OK To Chris again. Mephistopheles O'Brien Has the only valid point here. My terminology is a bit inconsistent. Marssan, An oral load of citrate is not excreted in the urine. I put this badly: I don't even know. MadisonMD Exogenous administration of hydrochloric acid generates a metabolic acidosis because the conjugate base chloride ion is not metabolised to bicarbonate like citrate is.
