All ideas and info. provided here are to be discussed with your medical professionals. I am NOT Medically trained. I have merely had this vile disease since 1998 - always use your Common Sense and seek expert medical advice.
YOU MAY FIND THE LINKS in text and in the Right Sidebar of Help.
I can NOT vouch for any external site that I may direct readers to & therefore can NOT accept any legal responsibility - this is a personal blog of that which I believe only.
I do NOT believe there are magical cures hidden from us by our medical professionals though there are without doubt cases that seem cured as if by magic. Medical knowledge of this disease is very rudimentary and research frequently profligate but pointless!
However - sticking goji berries in your ear on a moonless night or similar WILL NOT HELP - Nor will the price paid for quackery be it here OR Mexico, Brazil or China!
There are many health care professionals trying their very best with great care and compassion but perfection is a little way off!
Be Minded:
I have cancer - cancer does not have me!

"Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once.
Of all the wonders that I yet have heard, it seems to me most strange that men should fear;
Seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come". - (Julius Caesar - Act II, Scene II).

No Deaths from Vitamins
America's Largest Database Confirms Supplement Safety

(OMNS, Dec 28, 2011) There was not even one death caused by a vitamin
supplement in 2010, according to the most recent information collected by
the U.S. National Poison Data System.
The new 203-page annual report of the
American Association of Poison Control Centers,
published online at
http://www.aapcc.org/dnn/Portals/0/2010%20NPDS%20Annual%20Report.pdf,
shows zero deaths from multiple vitamins; zero deaths from any of
the B vitamins; zero deaths from vitamins A, C, D, or E; and zero deaths
from any other vitamin.
Additionally, there were no deaths whatsoever from any amino acid
or dietary mineral supplement.
Three people died from non-supplement mineral poisoning: two from medical
use of sodium and one from non-supplemental iron. On page 131, the AAPCC
report specifically indicates that the iron fatality was not from a
nutritional supplement.
Fifty-seven poison centers provide coast-to-coast data for the
National Poison Data System, "one of the few real-time national surveillance
systems in existence, providing a model public health surveillance system
for all types of exposures, public health event identification, resilience
response and situational awareness tracking."
Well over half of the U.S. population takes daily nutritional supplements.

Even if each of those people took only one single tablet daily, that makes
165,000,000 individual doses per day, for a total of over 60 billion doses
annually.
Since many persons take far more than just one single vitamin or mineral
tablet, actual consumption is considerably higher, and the safety of
nutritional supplements is all the more remarkable.
Over 60 billion doses of vitamin and 
mineral supplements per year in the USA, 
and not a single fatality. Not one.
If vitamin and mineral supplements are allegedly so "dangerous,"
as the FDA and news media so often claim, then where are the bodies?

This report demonstrates again the safety of supplements, but my review
of the report showed another recorded death from a single
unknown botanical.
Compared to the hundreds of thousands of deaths from prescription drugs,
approved by the same Food & Drug Administration that shows hostility
to these dietary supplements.
