lung cancer and ldn

hello friends, I was wondering if anybody could help my mother inlaw. She has lung cancer and she has tried everything her doctors told her to do but nothing has worked. She is now taking a pill called tarcivea to help her live longer. She is very weak and has a lot of trouble walking around. I've read a lot of good things about ldn and I feel like this could be her last chance. Can anyone please give me some info on how to get it prescribed by phone because she cannot leave the house. Also, if somebody knows a doctor who she can see for it in montreal canada that would be great, thanks.

Hi cj, thank you very much for the reply. I've already been on that web site before but thanks anyways. I managed to find a doctor who will get her the ldn so I'm very happy about that. I hope you get better soon and good luck to you also.

Thats great news, so far I haven't tried ldn, not sure I can get from a dr here in the states. Let me know how it works for her, I'm sure we will all be interested on this site.

I sent a message but I don't think it worked. Just wanted to say that she spoke with a doctor and she will be starting LDN next week. If all goes well, she should start to feel better after a week or two and the tumor will start to shrink after 3 to 6 months. I will let you know how it's going as soon as it starts working. god bless.

Hi Matrix

Sorry about your mother-in-law. Hope this treatment helps. What is LDN? I haven't heard of that one. I have had two rounds of chemo; taxol, carbo, avastin, with another round coming up Monday. I'm trying to find out as much as I can about all meds tried, so if this fails, to shrink turmors I will know a little bit about what to ask to try.

Hello cjm
It's a little bit complicated to explain but if you go to www.ldn4cancer.com it will help. I have done a lot of research and it seems to work very well. A lot of doctors don't want to prescribe it because pharmacies don't make enough money with this drug, because it wasn't made to treat cancer. But it's doing miracles for thousands of people and there is no side affects at all. Hope you feel better and let me know how your doing and I will let you know how my mother-in-law is doing with the ldn. Take care

Thanks, I already know that one. I think I've been on every single website that exist. You could even see doctors talking about it on youtube. Which is why I have a very good feeling about it and I can't wait for her to start it.

Hello All,

I just got back from holiday so haven't been up on Teamspire posts but any LDN conversation will get my attention immediately.

I have stage 4B lung mets ( told only months to live) and have been on LDN for 2 years.... ( actually Feb 11, 2009 will be my 2 year anniversary).

All I can say is that LDN has worked for me and still doing well. Safe, no side effects, low cost and what a blessing...

There are doctor's prescribing lists and help for those who wish to look further into LDN for help. Yahoo groups and new Youtube Videos from LDN advocates....2009 is going to be a banner year for getting the LDN word out!
