Fasting to Mitigate Chemo Side-Effects

March 18, 2021 by Rick Shapiro Leave a Comment

Fasting to Mitigate Chemo Side-Effects Hope Never Dies BlogThe intention of chemotherapy is to kill cancer cells and shrink malignant tumors. It can extend survival in patients diagnosed with various malignancies. However, well-known and unfortunate consequences of chemotherapy are the harsh, potential side-effects (including cardio-toxicity, neurotoxicity, mucosititis, vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, fatigue, cramps and hair loss) that engender harmful problems to the human body. These side-effects can be temporary or cause permanent challenges, and limit dose intensity and the consistent-scheduled implementation of treatment cycles. Some patients undergoing cancer treatment fear the toxic side-effects even more than the cancer.

Curcumin: A Powerful Anti-Cancer Agent

February 25, 2021 by Rick Shapiro Leave a Comment

Curcumin Anti-Cancer Agent Hope Never Dies BlogCurcumin is a component of the spice turmeric, which can be found in many people’s spice cabinets. Commonly consumed in many Asian countries as a culinary ingredient, it gives curry and mustard their yellow color. Turmeric has also been used for medicinal purposes for centuries.

Curcumin is the biologically active agent in turmeric. Approximately 2% to 5% of turmeric is composed of Curcumin. Many studies and clinical evidence confirm that curcumin delivers myriad benefits to cancer patients. One of its primary proven benefits is its anti-inflammatory effect.

Inflammation fighter

An abundance of evidence from numerous studies (preclinical, animal and clinical) strongly suggest curcumin exerts potent anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory activities.

Compelling “Pearls of Wisdom” from Hope Never Dies Cancer “Survivors”

November 10, 2017 by Rick Shapiro Leave a Comment

Compelling Pearls of Wisdom Hope Never Dies

There is much to be learned from cancer patients who have faced dire cancer prognoses and who survive, and thrive, many years past their so-called expiration dates. 

Elizabeth, MD, Ph.D: Diagnosed in 1999, Ovarian and Uterine Cancer

She was told: “You don’t understand. You must face this. You are dying and you don’t have more than a few weeks, maybe 2 months. We don’t think you will make it until Christmas.” Elizabeth is retired and enjoying life.

Can Food Choices Influence the Prevention and Progression of Cancer

June 29, 2017 by Rick Shapiro Leave a Comment

To decrease cancer risk, select fruit like blueberries that have anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Can food choices influence the prevention and progression of cancer? 

SHORT ANSWER: ABSOLUTELY YES. This is a deep and exhaustive cancer subject and has been a topic of debate for centuries. The so-called “Father of Modern Medicine” Hippocrates, born approximately 2,500 years ago, is well known for his famous quote:

Is a Biopsy-Proven, Terminal Cancer Diagnosis Equivalent to a Death Sentence?

April 3, 2017 by Rick Shapiro Leave a Comment

Is a Biopsy-Proven, Terminal Cancer Diagnosis Equivalent to a Death Sentence? NO. Hope Never Dies

Is a Biopsy-Proven, Terminal Cancer Diagnosis Equivalent to a Death Sentence?

Short Answer:

Unequivocally NO, terminal cancer is not equivalent to a death sentence.

Fact:

There are many people who have been given a terminal cancer diagnosis who are thriving today, many years later. More people have “beaten the odds” than you think. I have personally met hundreds who were given short “time frames,” such as: 3 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 1 year to live. They have been afflicted with all kinds of cancer including brain cancer, pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, melanoma, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, kidney cancer and others. I personally know many cancer doctors, in the integrative and alternative worlds, whose clinical work and recommendations have engendered extraordinary long-term outcomes for patients after receiving veritable “death sentences” from their prior cancer doctors.
