I know there's no cure but my friend has no health insurance and is getting limited treatment as a result. Just searching for anything at all to help him with side effects, etc. Thank you sincerely for any help.

Asparagus. Asparagus contains a good supply of protein called histones, which are believed to be active in controlling cell growth. For that reason, asparagus can be said to contain a substance that acts as a cell growth normaliser. That accounts for its action on cancer and in acting as a general body tonic. In any event, regardless of theory, asparagus is a harmless substance. The FDA cannot prevent you from using it and it may do you much good." It has been reported by the US National Cancer Institute, that asparagus is the highest tested food containing glutathione, which is considered one of the body's most potent anticarcinogens and antioxidants.

has your friend applied for medicare or in most cities there is a program that gives free medical and dental insurance if you have no assets. I live in texas and its called a map program. (medical assistance program.) I'm not sure about homeopothy treatments but I would try holistic treatments like massage and especially acupuncture if you can. The relief is sometimes profound if the person has been in pain for a long time. Also the human contact does wonders for most people that are ill. Hope that helps a little. :) P.S. I'm really sorry you're going through this! How are YOU holding up? Don't forget to take care of you when you are taking care of your friend. Often we don't realize how sapped our strength becomes during these times so be sure you take care of you too o.k.? :)

Your friend should apply for a government managed insurance program such as Medicaid, if he has no private insurance and limited income. Even with modest treatment for symptom management, the bills can become quite substantial over time. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are extremely expensive in the US. Another option is to call the American Cancer Society at 1-800-ACS-2345 and ask for suggestions about financing needed treatment. Homeopathic treatments are highly dubious. Your friend should consult with a legitimate physician instead. In particular, strong pain medications require a physician's prescription.

You could click on the link below - it opens the door to explaining how the so-called "incurable" diseases can be reversed or even cured, by drinking water, eating salt and adding a few supplements to a person's diet. People immediately scoff at the idea of water and salt having so much importance in the body, but that's mainly because they put too much trust in the medical community that doesn't understand the effects that dehydration has on the body's physiology. Doctors have convinced people that water does nothing but quench thirst. But water affects every cell in the body and, with salt, delivers important nutrients to every cell as well as having many other critical functions. Doctor tell their patients to cut back on salt - that salt is bad for you. But a list of the benefits of salt in the body begs to prove otherwise: 1. Salt is most effective in stabilizing irregular heartbeats and, contrary to the misconception that it causes high blood pressure, it is actually essential for the regulation of blood pressure - in conjunction with water. Naturally the proportions are critical. 2. Salt is vital to the extraction of excess acidity from the cells in the body, particularly the brain cells. 3. Salt is vital for balancing the sugar levels in the blood; a needed element in diabetics. 4. Salt is vital for the generation of hydroelectric energy in cells in the body. It is used for local power generation at the sites of energy need by the cells. 5. Salt is vital to the nerve cells' communication and information processing all the time that the brain cells work, from the moment of conception to death. 6. Salt is vital for absorption of food particles through the intestinal tract. 7. Salt is vital for the clearance of the lungs of mucus plugs and sticky phlegm, particularly in asthma and cystic fibrosis. 8. Salt is vital for clearing up catarrh and congestion of the sinuses. 9. Salt is a strong natural antihistamine. 10. Salt is essential for the prevention of muscle cramps. 11. Salt is vital to prevent excess saliva production to the point that it flows out of the mouth during sleep. Needing to constantly mop up excess saliva indicates salt shortage. 12. Salt is absolutely vital to making the structure of bones firm. Osteoporosis, in a major way, is a result of salt and water shortage in the body. 13. Salt is vital for sleep regulation. It is a natural hypnotic. 14. Salt is a vitally needed element in the treatment of diabetics. 15. Salt on the tongue will stop persistent dry coughs. 16. Salt is vital for the prevention of gout and gouty arthritis. 17. Salt is vital for maintaining sexuality and libido. 18. Salt is vital for preventing varicose veins and spider veins on the legs and thighs. 19. Salt is vital to the communication and information processing nerve cells the entire time that the brain cells work - from the moment of conception to death. 20. Salt is vital for reducing a double chin. When the body is short of salt, it means the body really is short of water. The salivary glands sense the salt shortage and are obliged to produce more saliva to lubricate the act of chewing and swallowing and also to supply the stomach with water that it needs for breaking down foods. Circulation to the salivary glands increases and the blood vessels become "leaky" in order to supply the glands with water to manufacture saliva. The "leakiness" spills beyond the area of the glands themselves, causing increased bulk under the skin of the chin, the cheeks and into the neck. As you can see, the doctors are wrong where water and salt is concerned - both are vitally important to the body. This is why you owe it to yourself to click on the link below and learn for yourself how important water and salt are. Doctors, like the drug companies, are in it to make a profit. While many doctors are genuinely concerned with their patients health, they fall short on proper treatments because they have certain protocols that they learned in medical school, and dehydration wasn't a big part of the curriculum. But they don't seemed that interested in educating themselves, either. Perhaps it's because there's no money in prescribing water.
