the son of a friend , he's 15 , and was recently diagnosed with brain cancer.
The doctors don't want to operate and told his father there is no hope.
I'm looking for recommendations for good doctors in the US or EU ,wherewith we can talk in order to explore other options urgently.
Thanks
Can you help answer these questions from other members on futures io?
Sorry to hear about your friend's case. In our country we have several university hospitals that do operations.
The best I know of is in Berne / Switzerland: They do operate with a new system that can go down to 2mm
distance even at the most difficult places in the brain (where the motion center is). This was not possible
before.
Here a german link to a article showing the team operating brain cancer in the "Inselspital Berne":
I don't know anything about these guys, I've just seen their commercials, but they say they take a holistic approach to treatment and give the impression anyway that they are willing to try anything.
As I see that the topic is of interest - I translated the above mentioned german article
so everybody can read without external help:
********
"Neurosurgeons of the Berne Inselspital have first developed a method by which it can remove as previously inoperable tumors in the applicable exercise center .
Now they have defined the security criteria for the method. Until recently, the movement center of the brain was considered a restricted area for neurosurgery . The few centimeters large area of the brain controls the arm and leg movements ; tumors are very difficult to remove there. The risk that you destroy the tumor and part of the invisible center of movement and the patient is subsequently paralyzed arms or legs , is very large.
Neurosurgeons of the Inselspital have now developed a method that makes the movement visible center for the surgeon , so that many of these tumors can be removed. They use a system that works like a radar - but with micro currents instead of radar waves .
With a millimeter wide probe the doctors stimulate the area around the tumor with currents between three and twenty milliamps . These micro- currents stimulate the brain cells of the movement center, which triggers arm , or leg movements .
They discovered that there is a reliable , direct relationship between the required amperage and the distance to the nerve cell. Thus, they can see how close the surgeons at the center of movement turn.
Operation on two millimeters distance
This " distance radar " , the surgeons operate on tumors that are only two millimeters away from the moving cells. " So that we can go much closer to the tumors than ever, and still be safe ," said Andreas Raabe, director and chief physician of the Department of Neurosurgery, Inselspital , against the news agency sda.
Until now, tumors could be operated directly in the center of movement usually not . Because the previously common monitoring method provided only information on whether the motion was grossly center nearby. Its exact distance to the tumor remained in the dark.
Now the Bernese doctors demonstrated in a recent study, the safety of the method. They operated 14 patients with tumors directly in the center of movement . The distance succeeded completely in 93 percent of them . The aim of the study was to find the right amperage that does not lead to new movement disorders.
Thanks to these safety criteria, there is now a tool to remove these previously inoperable tumors with greater security , said Raabe . They publish the results soon in the journal " Neurosurgery " .
The " distance - radar " method set the Bernese a neurosurgeon since 2009, and have thus been operated on 100 patients. ( cls / sda )

@crazybears, sorry to hear about this. I can't imagine what it would be like for his family.
I hope some others can give you good advice and you can find some doctors that will speak with you by phone or skype and then make a plan to save the boys life.
Darn, please pass on my sympathy to your friend. Holy Family Hospital is a well respected facility and used by many of the "Stars" of Hollywood. They are in Massachusetts but close to the EU for air travel. I don't have a specific doctor recommendation, but have heard some great stories. Micheal J Fox was treated at this facility. I will do some more digging if desired and see if I can get some doctors names that have had great success out of that facility.

Crazybears,
I'm new here and was just surfing around.
There is a high-tech surgical instrument called Gamma Knife that uses triangulated pinpoint focused radiation to kill brain tumors inside the skull without cutting. The cancer cells die and are reabsorbed by the body. alternatives to explore: Cyber Knife.
I don't have personal experience with it, but if I had that diagnosis, I would look towards this technology first.
Best wishes.

Im no doctor firstly so i only heard about this treatment in passing.
There are i only a few machines in the world that can currently do molecular style cancer treatment which may be useful.
1 in boston and 1 in belgium.
I can find out more on Monday regarding the treatment as a colleague i know wrote software for it specifically. I dont know if it is useful for brain as i am no doctor and do not wish to produce any diagnosis where illqualified.
The Cleveland Clinic is a top rated multi-specialty medical center known for their technological efficiency (my.clevelandclinic.org/). They're opening a facility in Abu Dhabi very soon. I hope your/his search for a solution to this complicated problem has a positive outcome. Sincerely..JohnO

With that said, a friend of ours with a brain tumor went there and there was progress and shrinkage with her tumor but it eventually grew back to it's normal state so it wasn't a win for her, but she doesn't blame Burzynski.
Another approach to supplement the surgical approach is nutritional, to possibly buy some time.
It's been demonstrated that many if not most cancer tumors use blood glucose as their fuel source. In other words, most tumors are not fueled by blood ketones (other substances that power cells, produced from fats, not sugars)
Accordingly, a diet rich in sugary carbs may only make the cancer grow faster, adding fuel to the fire.
So, I would suggest doing some serious research on ketogenic approaches to cancer treatment, and I would not be giving the kid lots of sweets and ice cream in the meantime.
A few years back a neighbor and his friends had taken their boss to this Dr. Last I heard that this person passed stool & could eat whereas the person was not able to do so. My neighbor has moved so i dont know the current details. But have heard that where others had given up hope this Dr at least entertained the hope.
Big Mike....this is no reco. But if you think there is a possibility you want to touch base with this neighbor...let me know. I will try and track him so that you can talk directly.
Sorry to hear about your friend's son, Crazybears. Sharing another idea among the other fine, thoughtful well wishes by everyone else in the thread. I had heard of this product just recently. I wish I had heard about it earlier especially for a friend and a family friend, both stricken with cancer a long time ago.
It's been surpressed by the FDA and big pharma. Good thing is that it's still available from Canada, made in Canada and even one could make their own. Amazing it only needs 2 AA batteries. No AC input or high voltage needed.
and what makes it different from other current "zappers" is that the polarity always stays positive. During it's phases it never dips to negative.
I put it for a few 30 minutes cycles on top of my coughing, shaking 8 yr old cat (while she was napping), and in the next days, she had recovered completely. No more coughing or symptoms.
Also, for those handy, they provide the plans and circuit diagram to make your own "zapper":
A low glycemic or ketogenic diet is a must to reduce the growth rate of the cancer cells. Thanks @suko!
Meat consumption and Omega 6 fats are bad news. I like the Ornish diet.
Glutathione, Vitamin D, selenium, curcumin, broccoli sprouts, cordyceps, Lugol's solution, milk thistle, pomegranate, green tea, and garlic are some supplements I would take. Garlic can cross the blood brain barrier.
Even if you take a hundred supplements and turn your diet inside out, it would be a lot cheaper and more pleasant than conventional therapies.

Hi crazybears,
Fair play to you for thinking of putting out the call here on futures.io (formerly BMT). Very best of luck to you and your neighbors with the appointment in Berne. When theres a sick child in the house you will stop at nothing to try to fix it. Theres a lot of people rooting for ye here on futures.io (formerly BMT).
Make sure there is no cell phone next to the child's bed at night. When the body is repairing itself during sleep, the cell phone will send off EMF's which will impair cell repair. You can find out more about this on Natural Health Information Articles and Health Newsletter by Dr. Joseph Mercola website. Just do a search on his site for EMF's or cell phone EMF etc.
There are a number of MD's on the cutting edge of cancer research. When I lived in LA, I would go to their conference each year, to hear different MD's and others give a lecture on their research, results and wins. The Cancer Control Society - cancercontrolsociety.com
Contact the people who put on the conference and there are people who are familiar with the different Doctors etc. Ask for a referral. I remember one MD, who had good results curing cancer patients, that had no hope. Had been told, there was nothing traditional medicine could do for them. I can't remember his name but he spoke at the Cancer Control Society, so make sure to ask for a referral.
Just a little background: my Mom passed away from Lung Cancer and I went and researched things that could help her. I called the Kushi Institute of Macrobiotics and ask if they had research on Macrobiotics helping anyone who had the same kind of lung cancer my Mom had. They had a study of a woman, who was on her death bed. The cancer had gone into her liver and they didn't give her much time to live. The family had a Macrobiotic counselor come for a consultation and she gave them a diet with recipes tweaked for the needs of the cancer patient. Her family cooked the food and to make a long story short: she didn't die. At that time, she was now cancer free for 7 years.
I asked my Mom, would she be interested in looking into Macrobiotics and she wasn't. I was her care giver and I decided to just put all the healing foods in a soup and decided to give my Mom some in the evening. At the time, she was stage 4, sweating, in a lot of pain and couldn't get a good night sleep. When I checked on her the next morning, she greeted me with a smile and said happily, I had a good night sleep last night, no pain, no sweating and I sleep through the whole night. I repeated giving her a bowl of soup with the healing foods in it each evening and each morning I got the same happy outcome. On the 4th morning, I let me Mom know, that the soup contained the Macrobiotic healing foods and that each night she had positive results and asked her if she wanted to look into Macrobiotics. She replied: stop cooking for me. She passed away withing 9 months from the time we learned she had lung cancer, using traditional medicine.
I found out I had a basal cell carcinoma on the left cheek of my face. Making a long story short, I cured it naturally by doing:
1. remove all cancer causing substances from the home. They are everywhere.
2. Went on a Macrobiotic diet and removed all GMO's from the diet.
3. Used Curaderm: a topical cream they use in England etc. to cure Basal Cells. Usually take 3-6 months. It took 1 1/2 years for me.
4. Addressed the emotional issue using EFT: Emotional Freedom Technique or they call it "Tapping". It can be used for issues from phyisical, emotional etc.
Also there is an MD that came up with a product that I also use: Advance Cellular Zeolite from Language Splash Ph 800-580-7587 I heard this MD lecture at Cancer Control Conference and I was very impressed by him. This Zeolite product, goes and destroy's any rogue cells in the body. So, if they aren't functioning correctly, it searchs them out and destroys them.
While I was in the healing phase of the basal cell by accident ate some GMO canola oil in some Ketchup. By mistake, I bought it because it said it was natural and hadn't read the ingredients: within in 30 minutes my basal cell flared up, itched and acted like a spider bite. I wondered why and found the canola oil (if it doesn't say organic, all canola is GMO). I just kept taking my Advanced Cellular Zeolite and by the next day, the swelling, redness, itching was gone.
If you would like to talk more, just send me a PM and we can talk over the phone.
Wishing you the best,
Rachel
PS Just saw the child is going to have an operation. I hope all turns out well and do look into the above suggestions to help prevent any issues.

Hoping the operation was well and the results are excellent!
In the meantime I learnt some points more about how to protect oneself against cancer:
The Kurkuma story is a long and old one - and of course helpful.
Now I have seen that they show in recent university tests that SHARP mustard (Moutard de Dijon)
is very helpful to hold cancernogenic cells back from evading. Only one needs to consume 20g/day
of the sharp one to be more protected than not consuming. (Of course - it is not thought for children).
The secret is in parts of the oil of the mustard grain which is very effective in holding back cancer cells
to develop. Same is found in broccoly or cauliflower - but in those the effect is significantly lower.
..as we do not have a cancer thread for products I am posting this for thread followers:
A new medicament has decreased 30% of prostate cancer deaths. This cancer is No. 3 in the list
of male cancer today. New studies have proven (article in german):
thanks everyone for the support and information given.
i found over the years the greatness of internet is sharing of knowledge and information and how they can be quickly spread.
sadly now God only knows when the time arrived.
