050205

During the last weeks, my left lung was running full of water. The itch was also torturing me, especially during the night.

In itself, this is a bad thing.
But I am taking a mega-regimen of homeopathic substances.

As I do not feel my tumours, this could be also a reaction to the homeopathic regimen.

Of course, it could also be a typical sign of a growing tumour.

Hello Christin,

thank you for writing.

Re: better medicine.
I have become a sceptic where cancer medicine is concerned.

Yes, there are some new approaches (e.g. Rheolysin, which is based on a virus which kills only cancerous cells but no normal cells; or Avastin, which inhibits angiogenesis [formation of new blood vessels]).

But the battle against cancer seems to be like the hunt for the rainbow: it will always recede, no matter how hard you try to reach it (actually it will recede faster if you approach it faster).

Only time will tell...

Regards,
Carl
