I will have somewhat sporadic availability over the next week (of getting married and hosting friends) but I’ll do my best to answer [good reasonable polite relevant delimited/finite nongaslighting] questions on any topic I’ve ever discussed in this blog or in my books or videos or even other topics that I haven’t discussed but maybe should. Let’s try it :-)
I suppose that I have to preface all of my replies by saying “this is not personalized medical advice” and something else like “you should make personal healthcare decisions based on your own evaluation of the data in conversation with your license healthcare provider, preferably someone who has studied nutrition and maybe a few things about botanical medicines etc.”
For Cancer in situ, is it a nutrition strategy to keep Cancer in situ?
Is hidradenitis suppurativa something you could comment on? My husband has had this disease for over 20 years. Been on several of the biologics... remicade, humira, enbrel, etc. Had numerous laser surgeries. Had much steroid therapy over the years necessitating hip replacements. Had 6 week course of daily IV of ertapenam. He is now 74. The disease is at its worst, extremely painful, prohibiting him from physical therapy. Otherwise was always healthy, except for the negative effects of the steroids, and a traumatic intubation by the anesthesiologist during hip surgery which damaged his throat severely. His throat swelled from the damage resulting in the need for a tracheostomy and three subsequent
throat surgeries to repair the damage and remove redundant tissue. (Just returned from John's Hopkins; doctor says he needs another surgery, but thinks he can decannualize, remove the trach after healing. The trach has been in for 4 1/2 years, severely affecting quality of life.) Sorry for the long story, but if he could get the hidradenitis under control, he could work out, regain strength, be off meds, and resume a more normal life. Thank you for any insight you can offer.
