anyone know of any good protocols/suggestions for NSCLC? preferably for ex-smokers?
i have a family member who is an ex-smoker needs some sort of regiment to inhibit their cancer risk (they don't have it yet, but early stages/immune dysfunction signals are ominous).
In Malaysia, you can commonly find vendors selling "cooling"
herbal drinks by the roadside.
These drinks are a concoction of herbs for general detoxification
and typically include two very common herbs used in tradional
Chinese Medicine :
Oldenlandia diffusa
Scutellaria barbata, or a related species, Scutellaria baicalensis
All three have anticancer activity against NSCLC, with Oldenlandia
also active against SCLC.
You could make a herbal drink of Oldenlandia and either of
the Scutellaria species, taking it say twice a week for prevention.
They can be found as whole herbs, powders, extracts or granules
in any Chinese herbal store. Extracts or granules are more
convenient. Extracts need only be steeped in hot water. Granules
are the most convenient - they dissolve instantly in hot or room
temperature water and drunk like a beverage. Whole herbs or
powders would need to be boiled for a few hours before their
essence is extracted.

http://www.ncbi.nlm....l=pubmed_docsumScutellaria baicalensis's anticancer actions are due largely
to its flavonoids, baicalen, baicalin, wogonin and chrysin.
http://www.ncbi.nlm....l=pubmed_docsumhttp://www.ncbi.nlm....l=pubmed_docsumhttp://www.ncbi.nlm....l=pubmed_docsumAnother herb which you could substitute in place of Scutellaria
is Lindera strychifolia, which has activity against both SCLC
and NSCLC.
SBC-3 is an SCLC line frequently used in testing drug resistance.
http://www.ncbi.nlm....l=pubmed_docsumhttp://www.kalyx.com...1010.0/file.htmhttp://www.kalyx.com...6020.0/file.htmA suggested dosage might be 1/3 to 1/2 teaspoon each of
the extracts or granules of the following in a glass of water
(extracts in hot water) taken twice a week. Otherwise, you
could ask the owner or counter staff of any Chinese herbal
store there for advice.
Oldenlandia
Scutellaria or Lindera
Frankly, Bill should be taking Oldenlandia and Lindera regularly,
but I wonder why he doesn't seem to have shown much interest.
