Title: Alternative Treatment Supplements for Radiation...
Post by: mellowrama on August 29, 2006, 07:20:41 am
Hello all,

Although I anticipate having CK in a few weeks, I went to a Chinese Docter yesterday that had some interesting feedback.  Without telling her my condition, she targeted in on tumor/brain related issues immediately after feeling my pulse.  She did some treatment with acupuncture and I think tui na (sp), and had me concentrate on tumour shrinkage.

Anyway, she prescibed for me taking wheat grass (starting out 1/2 ounce up to 2) and lots of vitamin C to assist in my body in recovery from radiation. 

Said it would have been better to be in my body for a month or so prior to treatment...and I anticipate some other herb presciption from her todayto help shrinkage too.  I mentioned that I'd heard green tea (with anti oxidantes) wasn't good for one having rads...which I don't recall her responding as I already told her I wasn't drinking it after talking with my radiation oncologist about it.
