I would like to know the death rate with lung cancer removed. I would bet that most of the decline has to do with decline in lung cancer due to the overall decline in smoking rather than advances in conventional medicine

this story states: "A Swiss study involving lab mice suggests the grape constituent resveratrol may be effective in treating lung cancer, at least when administered nasally in high doses. The researchers observed a 45% decrease in tumor load in mice treated with resveratrol, noting they developed fewer and smaller tumors than untreated mice."

I have to disagree to the part where High does are needed in Humans. I can't look up the studies today, but from what I learned on this marvelous resveratrol. All we need is one every other day and that large does do not benefit any more than small doses. So what I'm saying is that a little will indeed go a long way and Resveratol helps in so many ways. So grapeseed one day resveratrol the next, will benefit most people.

I have small nodules in my lungs. My guess is from second hand smoke from birth , but not lately, I stay away. I am not concerned, and in a few years we see as I go. I believe radiation exposure from doctors and hospitals and dentists,..dosing us unnecessarily really impact our lives, more than people realize.

Take care of yourselves.

A friend was diagnosed with stage 4 non small cell lung cancer four years ago and told that she had a year to live. Eventually went on Avastin and is alive and well enough to live and travel as normal, 4 years later. Just a bit of fatigue but no other side effects. This is someone who has zero interest in alternative treatments or lifestyle changes so this is a blessing for her. I believe that there is still a lung tumor that does not increase or change. Holding steady.

I'd have to put my thinking cap on and review my notes and research as it has been a while since I have worked with cancer patients. However, this comes to mind and I have had success with it. It is hardly a complete or balanced regimen. It is the ellagic acid (pomegranate) that is helpful for lung cancer. -Also, the mushroom Fometopsis officinalis in large doses. I would dispute the ketogenic diet and use some variation of a diet high in vegetables, esp. macrobiotic or raw juicing using complementary amino acids and small amounts of organ meats (esp. liver). Diet is too much to discuss here. There is a difference between a diet for a normal healthy person and a therapeutic diet. Sunshine and vitamin D. These are a good place to start.
