Multimodal, orthomolecular, phytomedicinal,
myeloma remission program
Started May 2010
Developed for Petunia by TKNB and BAN
GOALS:
- Halt production of further cancerous cells in marrow and elsewhere (reduction in monoclonal/m protein, beta-2-microglobulin, serum free light chains, and IgG lab MM markers).
- Facilitate apoptosis of cancer cells.
- Inhibit cancerous angiogenesis.
- Decrease overall inflammation and cellular inflammation, (cytokine and IL-6 decrease).
- Support the immune system.
- Antioxidant status improvement.
- Full nutrient support (whole fruit and vegetable extracts).
- Decrease pain and improve mood.
- Increase mobility.
- Provide raw materials to produce bone and connective tissue.
- Provide enzyme support (protease, amylase, lipase, full spectrum).
- Maintain good kidney function. Dilution is a solution to pollution.

Other tips/changes made:
The changes below were made slowly over time. Petunia Mom's goal remains to continue decreasing the toxic burden on the body so that her body has less deal with/get rid of/process and then can be more efficient at healing the body and fighting cancer. Even those going with conventional chemotherapy or other treatment for cancer can only benefit by decreasing toxic burden and getting adequate vitamins and minerals. Some oncologist/cancer doctors will not want patients on supplements, saying they could feed the cancer or cause the body/immune system to not respond to the chemotherapy. One needs to remember there are no studies out there that actually prove this theory (if anyone finds such a study, let me know!). It must be noted that there are SOME studies on SOME supplements that have been proven to interfere with efficacy of conventional therapies for cancer - ask your doctor, but also do your own research. We firmly believe that strengthening the body through nontoxic food and supplements will help the body fight cancer and also to better withstand any chemotherapy or conventional treatment.

Some more tips:
1. Start reading ingredients/labels. Keeps a list of things to avoid in car/purse, etc. Educate yourself about your cancer - knowledge is power.
2. Whole organic foods, less processed/boxed foods.
a. Choose organic milk, cheese, eggs, yogurt.
b. If eating boxed/processed foods, choose organic.
c. Meats: Less meat. Choose grass fed - no soy feed/no antibiotic/no steroids, etc. Find local farmers who do not use antibiotics/steroids.
d. Fish: Eat more. Read up on fish to avoid. Avoids farmed fish and those that contain high amounts of heavy metals/mercury.
e. Organic fruits & veggies. Increased her intake of cancer fighting organic veggies and fruits, especially cruciferous veggies (barely to lightly steamed), and seed containing berries.
3. Decrease unhealthy omega 6's by eating less/avoiding processed food that contains corn, safflower, soybean, sunflower, cottonseed oils. Avoiding baked goods and highly processed foods will cut down on omega 6s. When consumed, choose organic.
4. Sugar intake decreased significantly. Use organic sugars/honey only. There is thought that sugar feeds cancer - and numerous reputable websites that refuse this point. ALL cells need sugar to survive, so this is a bit of a myth. Decreasing sugar in general is good for any of us, especially high fructose corn syrup, but indulging and enjoying organic sweets is not an issue - I believe. Please send me websites if anyone finds irrefutable proof!
5. Cut out soda. Okay are organic juices in moderation.
6. See the avoid list below.

WHAT PETUNIA MOM AVOIDS
These things are avoided to decrease the toxic burden on body and allow it to heal/fight cancer. Read labels/ingredients and learn what to avoid.
These things are avoided to decrease the toxic burden on body and allow it to heal/fight cancer. Read labels/ingredients and learn what to avoid.
1. Avoid stress as well as nay-saying negative people. Make changes as necessary!
2. Avoid ALL artificial sweeteners. Just Say No to Splenda, Sweet and Low, or Equal. No diet drinks. No agave.
3. Avoid nitrates/nitrites by avoiding pepperoni, salami, lunch meats, hot dogs, bacon, sausage, etc. Read ingredients. Find brands without these ingredients (see organic or natural food aisles - brands include Applegate Farms).
4. Avoid FD&C food coloring.
5. Avoid hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated fat/oil (Crisco, candy bars, everything - read ingredients on everything!)
6. Avoid high fructose corn syrup. No agave. Use organic sugars, honey, and maple syrup sparingly.
7. Avoid all GMO (genetically modified ). Choose organic foods, as by definition, organic foods cannot contain GMO foods. Look for non-GMO label.
8. Avoid all highly processed soy products including soy milk, fake soy cheese, unfermented tofu, soyburgers, soy hot dogs, etc.
Better soy products include: Fermented soy, i.e. tamari, miso, fermented tofu, edamame.

9. Personal care products (soap, shampoo, deodorants, conditioner, toothpaste, sunscreen, lotions). Read labels. Google toxic ingredients to avoid in personal care products yields much information.
10. Avoid phalates, BPA, pesticides, herbicides. Rodale Institute has a great E-letter to subscribe to where you can learn all about healthy practices to avoid toxins in your food and surroundings. Start out slowly and keep ditching the toxins!
11. Avoid fluoride in toothpaste.
12. Ditch plastic water bottles. Use stainless steel or glass.
13. Never use plastic (even "microwave" safe) in microwave.

Important: If you don't read labels, start! Keep your glasses handy for that tiny print. If you don't know what an ingredient is, jot it down, look it up on the internet when you get home.
I think it is author Michael Pollan who says if your grandmother would not recognize what it is (or you don't) - don't eat it!

SPECIAL NOTE: Cigarettes contain additives/accelerants. If you choose to smoke, lower your toxic burden with an additive free/organic cigarette called American Spirit.
