I would like to explore some ways in which specific supplements can help reduce the terrible side effects of chemotherapy.  One of the main reasons for these ill side effects is the generation of free radicals by many commonly used chemo drugs.  This increased free radical burden comes at a cost, which accounts for most of the toxicities experienced by patients.

Lets review some supplements:
CoQ10 - is an antioxidant found in foods in small amounts, and which the body produces on its own. Found in all cells but in highest amount in heart, liver, muscles, immune system cells.  Gives the cell energy and improves oxygen uptake on a cellular level, Cancer doesn't thrive in a well oxygenated body.  Prevents shrinking of the thymus gland and decreased or eliminated cancer tumours in a small group of patients when 390 mg. was used daily along with antioxidants and essential fatty acids.

Maitake (Grifolia Frondosa)• Compounds in Maitake mushrooms called Beta-glucans are able to shrink tumours and have a beneficial effect on the immune system by increasing macrophage activity and the healing of breast and prostate cancer
• It also inhibits the formation of metastases
• Maitake lessens the side effects of chemotherapy, helping to decrease nausea, keep the white blood cells actively working, and in reducing pain


MGN-3

• MGN-3 is an extract of the outer shell of rice bran combined with extracts from the following three mushrooms: Shiitake, Kawaratake and Suehirotake. This combination possesses anti-cancer properties that improves the ability of the T-killer cells to destroy cancer cells by increasing the number of explosive granules in the T-killer cells
• MGN-3 increases the body’s levels of interferon and tumour necrosis factors, both of which help destroy cancer cells
• In one study involving 24 cancer patients who took the product for two months, the T-killers cells became 27 times more effective at killing cancer cells after the two months than they had been prior to treatment
• Used with chemotherapy, MGN-3 lessens toxic side effects of the chemo and fortifies the white blood cells

Indole-3-Carbinol (a plant compound from cruciferous vegetables)


• Indole-3-carbinol converts the stronger form of extrogen (estradiol) into a weaker form (2-hydroxy-estrone)
• When I-3-C was given to 25 women for two months the levels of C16-hydroxyestrone (bad estrogen) dropped
• I-3-C inhibits human breast cancer cells from growing by as much as 90%
• I-3-C interrupts the cell cycle in cancer cells. In one study I-3-C inhibited the growth of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cells by 90% compared to tamoxifen’s 60% by stopping the cell cycle
• In estrogen receptor-negative cells I-3-C stopped the synthesis of DNA for new cells by about 50% whereas tamoxifen had no significant effect
• Chemically – induced breast cancers have been inhibited by both I-3-C and DIM in animals studies, with I-3-C being slightly more effective

Grape Seed Extract


• Fifty times more effective than vitamin E and twenty times stronger than vitamin C in neutralizing free radicals
• Help to slow down the rate of DNA mutation when cells are exposed to carcinogens
• Maintains the integrity of the arterial walls and circulation
• Slows down the aging process
• Not found in foods

Milk Thistle is best known for its protective effects of chemical toxicity.  It has a restorative influence that can speed up regeneration of new liver cells.  

Theanine - This amino acid found also in green tea appears to reduce the toxic side effects of various chemotherapy drugs.  Simply drinking green tea is not enough unfortunately, we need a concentrated amount that is found in green tea extracts.  

NAC (N-AcetyCysteine)


• Helps the liver to detox for melatonin to work effectively
• Makes toxic chemicals and carcinogens less harmful
• Fewer side effects from chemotherapy and radiation when taken but may make the chemo less effective
Found in, black beans, adzuki beans, chick peas, lentils, split peas, sried spirulina, nori, kelp, almonds, sunflower seeds, cottage cheese, fish

Lynn has been working in the wellness Industry for more than 18 years and has a magical way of inspiring others to embrace healthy, balanced lifestyles and relish in living their best life!  Making even just one of the shifts she suggests can: reduce stress, take pounds off, reduce cholesterol and blood pressure, add quality years and vitality to your life.  Lynn searches for alternative, holistic and natural methods in taking care of one's health and wellness...  knowledge is a powerful tool.  Being informed about your disease , treatment options  and expectations will empower you to take control of the process.  This can affect your recovery and personal experience in a positive way.  

Radical Remission is a wonderful book that talks about 9 elements that radical remission cancer survivors have used to heal their bodies.  Not one thing alone works but using several elements together can help the body to heal from illness and disease.  As a cancer coach, nutritionist, & Time Line therapist, hypnotherapist, I teach clients to combine these very same elements together to effect change.  

The number one thing that patients do is to radically change their diet!  Increasing vegetables, organic fruit, whole grains, eating whole foods, juicing, and eliminating dairy, wheat, gluten, meat, sugar, and processed foods. Giving the body the nutrients it needs to fight disease and increase the immune system and natural killer cells.  

Taking control of your own health and the ideal that in order for healing to occur, you must be willing to make changes even if those changes are time consuming and emotionally difficult.  Instead of relying in quick fix pills, you may need to make serious changes in your life in order to regain your health.  You may need to leave your stressful job or marriage in order to heal, whatever it is, evaluate, reflect and listen to your inner voice to do what is right for you.

Following your intuition.  The body knows what it needs to heal and it can often let you know why you got sick in the first place.  This belief goes against western medicine, which usually removes patients from the  planning process while the doctors determine a course of treatment after diagnosis.  IF the mind is allowed to quiet down, it will know what it needs to do in order to be well again.  Cancer is only a messenger that says something has gone wrong or out of alignment.  Find out what that something is, that root cause and correct it to heal the body.

Using Herbs and Supplements:  The difference between chemo and vitamins is that chemo kills cancer cells & the immune system while most supplements are designed to  strengthen the immune system so that it can remove cancer cells.  These 2 treatment styles stem from 2 different belief systems.  Vitamins and Herbs alone  will not do the trick however, combining them with all the other elements to heal the body may mean the difference between life and death just as diet alone may not work either.  

Releasing suppressed emotions- suppressed emotions are any emotions you are hanging onto from your past that are negative, positive, conscious or unconscious.  We hold onto negative one's such as anger, fear, sadness, and hurt.  Suppressed emotions may be conscious or unconscious, meaning you may not be able to remember them fully.  It could be from traumatic memories or events in the past, accidents, abuse are often blocked from one's conscious memory.  You can release these negative emotions easily with Time Line Therapy, hypnotherapy and using other healing modalities such as Reiki, yoga and meditation.

Increase positive emotions:  Happiness is a habit and a state that you can access at any time.  We all have happy memories that we can access and we an do it daily to make it a habit.  For cancer survivors that were interviewed, they had to force themselves to think of past happy events and memories in the beginning or they chose to watch funny shows and movies to increase their happiness.  They discovered that by doing this daily, it became a habit and the feeling of happiness came quickly the more they practiced it.  

Embrace social support:  We are social creatures by nature and humans need each other to survive.  Researchers have discovered that loved one's help our bodies in a sophisticated way.  When we are surrounded by them, even our pets the feeling of being loved releases a flood of hormones into the bloodstream which makes us feel better emotionally but also strengthens our immune system significantly.  

Deepening your spiritual connection:  Having a connection to a deeper or higher energy which some people call God and others call it the soul or energy or chi.  One may pray to find this connection others may have a deep yoga practice or meditation practice that they follow.  Whatever it is for you, is right for you, practice is daily, connect to your inner spirit and faith.

Having strong reasons for living:  Survivors that were interviewed said that they wanted to live and for many reasons.  Having confidence to your core that you want to keep living, to get excited about life was a recurring factor for cancer patients of radical remissions.  It is a recurring fact in this book that the mind leads the body, not the other way around.  Its a proven fact that when you have strong enough thought or emotion, powerful hormones and released instantly into the bloodstream and have either beneficial or detrimental effect on your immune system depending on the nature of your thoughts and emotions.

While each chapter in the book contains healing stories, its important to remember that it is never just one factor that helped people get well but a multitude of factors.  Empowerment is the key, cancer is a devastating disease and people often feel powerless since it can sneak up without any warming.  Finding your power will require some effort on your part, you can do it.

You probably know this feeling of being trapped in negative emotions or limiting beliefs. You may be blocked by anxiety, insecurity or depression. You may believe that you are not good enough or not worthy to have things you want the most in life.  Or you may you have felt that the lack of energy or chronic physical issues such as chronic pain, allergies or auto-immune diseases, prevent you from reaching your goals.  You have tried “everything” to change, improve and heal, but somehow there is still something holding you back from reaching your goals. May be you have even started to give up on your dreams to have the life you desire.

Imagine how good it would feel to:

• Discover and address the deeper root causes of your mental, emotional and physical blocks and limitations
• Free yourself from subconsciously stored negative emotions and limiting beliefs
• Erase self-sabotaging patterns and create congruency on all levels
• Re-program your mind and cellular memory to greater peace, confidence and self-worth
• Access your true potential to heal, change and thrive
• Have the skills and tools to be in charge of your thoughts, emotions and actions – and to continuously grow and create more balance, success and well-being in your life.

This can all be achieved using Time Line Therapy....It is used to release negative emotions, such as anger, sadness, fear, guilt, shame and limiting beliefs (for example I am not good enough, I don not deserve) through hypnotic regression and subconscious learning.

Most clients require only 6-8 sessions, which can be once a week OR spread over a time period of 2-3 months to breakthrough their blocks and reach their goals.  Each session is 1.5 - 2 hours long, so that there sufficient time to go deep and create powerful shifts and momentum. During the sessions you will work consciously with your subconscious mind, activate your mind-body-spirit connection and spend some time in a very pleasant, relaxed light trance state. By using specific mind-activating modalities and techniques you are able to resolve deep-seated emotions and limiting beliefs and gain a new perspective on yourself and your life. In the process you will learn and acquire effective tools and strategies, which allow you to further solidify the changes and quickly implement your growth in your daily life.

Time-Line TherapyTM is a specific technique using the concept that we store our life experiences linearly. Time Line Therapy™ is a collection of techniques that allow you to gain emotional control over your life. Inappropriate emotional reactions, such as bursts of anger, periods of apathy, depression, sadness, anxiety, and chronic fear, are responsible for preventing people from achieving the quality of life they desire. Limiting decisions, such as "I'm not good enough," "I'll never be rich," or "I don't deserve a great marriage," create false limitations and hamper your ability to create reachable and attainable goals and outcomes. Created by Dr. Tad James, Time Line Therapy¨ techniques enable you to eliminate many types of issues in your past, thus allowing you to move forward toward your goals and desires.

Why does Time Line Therapy™ work so well?
The Time Line Therapy™ works on the principle of a Gestalt. A Gestalt is a sequence of significant emotional events that are all linked together, imagine if you will a pearl necklace with each pearl representing a significant emotional event in your life.

We all have Gestalts for all our emotions, anger, sadness, fear, hurt, guilt and others. Each time there is a significant emotional event in our lives, another pearl on the necklace is added. Some pearls are big (these are the large emotional events) while some are smaller (the less significant events).

The great news is that Time Line Therapy™allows us to track back to that very first emotional event that lead to the Gestalt being formed. So what do you think would happen if we removed the first pearl from that necklace?

Yep, you got it, the whole necklace (or Gestalt) falls apart and the entire chain of emotional events are dealt with in one go – the real key to the process is getting back to the first event of that emotion – then dealing with it by hovering above it, the client always able to control the intensity of the emotion.  A truly life changing technique used personally and in business.  

Why do clients love Time Line Therapy™ so much? If you've ever had ‘regular’ therapy in the past you will have been required to relive the negative emotion in order to come to terms with it. This is painful and in my view unnecessary.

Time Line Therapy allows you to deal with those negative events and emotions WITHOUT experiencing them again and reliving them. This makes this type of therapy enjoyable, and if something is enjoyable it tends to get great results too!

When is Time Line Therapy™ Used?
In Business
Personally I find that many business owners carry their personal hang ups in life over into their business, beliefs about success, self worth and self doubt all hold a business back. NLP is used to uncover these emotions, find out what they are and Time Line Therapy™ is then used to resolve those emotions to ensure that the client feels ‘whole’ again, aligned to their goals and ready for the future with positivity.

• Remove anger about past business decisions
• Remove guilt of past activity and decisions
• Live in control of your negative emotions and be able to see the way to a positive future

In Weight Loss
Weight problems are never about only the weight, the weight problem is caused by an unresolved negative emotion, limiting decision or conflicting part of you personality. Time Line Therapy allows us to deal with these emotions simply,easily, enjoyably and comfortably.

In Therapy
Once again, negative emotions are easy to deal with using Time Line Therapy™ as the client is not required to relive them. This makes therapy using this technique a very powerful experience for the client and totally life changing. Remove anger, sadness, fear, hurt, guilt, shame and many other emotions that are holding you back.

• Do you get angry with other people you love? Get rid of that anger with Time Line Therapy™
• Do you have past hurt that preventing you doing what you want? Get rid of that hurt with Time Line Therapy™
• How about sadness… is sadness holding you back? Is it time to move on and let go?

What are the results of a client that has had Time Line Therapy™
Typically after  Time Line Therapy™ the client is unable to access those negative emotions – so think about it now, what would you be doing or having if you were no longer angry? Often a client will report that:

1. They have more energy
2. They are more focused and less easily distracted by day-to-day niggles… you know the ones!
3. They are more tolerant of others, which makes business and life easier
4. If weight is an issue, it simply falls off  as their is no longer any negative emotion that normally stimulates that need for comfort eating!

There is a mysterious part to hypnosis and just how it works. Lots of research has been done on it...What we do understand better are the results, and indeed, hypnosis has been a very successful technique to help heal the mind, body aspects. Here is how hypnotic techniques can heal the body.

The hypnotic trance has many amazing properties that include experiencing "numbness" in general or in specific areas of the body. This enables a skilled therapist to produce the absence of feeling in any part of the body.  One can even undergo surgery with hypnosis!  Hypnosis is more often used for more common problems, such as dental work, burns, headaches, giving birth, it is also used for weight loss, to help someone quit smoking, motivation, anxiety, traumas and more...

The body is designed to heal itself. Although this complicated process does work automatically, it can accelerated and enhanced by hypnotic techniques. By directing the subconscious mind to focus energy on a specific system in the body, more of your natural resources will go there. That means that if, for example, you were burned, your body will naturally begin the healing process which may take a week to complete. If you were to employ hypnosis to quicken this process, you may complete the healing in half the time. At the very least, hypnosis is extremely effective to decrease pain. The effectiveness of this technique depends on several factors. There is the client's susceptibility and willingness to use this approach, the skill of the hypnotherapist, and the severity of the problem. Hypnosis has its limitations, however it is always worth trying to use it because there is no "down-side" to the technique, it cannot do any damage itself.

One of the more profound effects of hypnosis is in using it to minimize or eliminate pain. An important caution is that if you do not know what is causing the pain, hypnosis may effectively remove the pain but, it may also coverup something serious that requires attention. If you know what is causing the pain, then it is safe to apply it to decrease the experience of pain and help with the general recovery. The fact is that most pain is "in your head" that means that it is possible to turn off the pain signals in the mind and minimize the sensation of pain. This can be accomplished in many ways using hypnosis. In general, positive suggestions are a good starting point, then these are usually elaborated to facilitate healing and remove discomfort.

There is a robust amount of clinical research using hypnosis to help heal the body or decrease the perception of pain. If you have a medical issue, consult with a specialist who is certified. The scientific literature is full of case studies validating the power of hypnosis to promote healing. If you have a problem I encourage you to consider the power of hypnosis to help you conquer it.
