Do you know what the cancer was caused by? Might be helpful....smoking, a mystery, etc? I am so sorry for you two, but you can get through anything if you try!
Cardamom has a soothing effect on membranes and lungs.
Add dill to your food.
Fenugreek helps relieve congestion if there is any
Eat brocolli and tomatoes, carrots and any other green leaved vegetable daily!!!!!
Amazingly, research suggests that eating only a single carrot, a half cup of dark yellow-orange or dark green vegetables, a piece of fruit or glass of pure juice daily , could mean the difference between getting and notgetting lung cancer. These can also prolong the survival rate.
Gladys Block,Ph.D., formerly at the National Cancer Institute and now at the University of California at Berkeley, found that a whopping thirty of thirty-two studies on the impact of diet on lung cancer odds identifies fruits and vegetables as powerful antidotes.
Don't let your blood levels of beta carotene drop. If you skimp on vegetables, carotene levels in your bloodstream fall. Such low levels are a time bomb for cancer, especially of the lung. If you would like more information on the amazing research on all this, let me know.
Folic Acid is critical against lung cancer, as is a bite of carotene a day, ( many lung cancer patients are apt to have a localized deficiency of the vit. folic acid, or folate, B vitamin in their lung tissue.
Lots of green tea is very helpful, as Japanese smokers get less lung cancer than American smokers ( Not saying smoking is the cause by this )
New research shows that Beta Carotene can attack and destroy tumor cells and retard the growth and spread of tumors. A recent report from the University of Hawii's Cancer Research Center in Honululu indicated that vegetables' chemotherapeutic powers stifled cancer progression and prolonged survival rate.
Remember - tomatoes and broccoli specifically.
Vegetables containing lycopene and lutein.
