Birds and Chemotherapy

[KimberlyAnn]

So it's official, my aunt has a brain tumor and it does not look good. She will be going through Chemo soon and I will be staying with her sometimes. My aunt loves Emmi and Emmi loves my aunt. They like to dance together.

Christmas would have been sad if I had not brought Emmi. We focused on Emmi the whole time it seemed and we laughed and laughed. This was two days after my aunt had her first seizure and they found the tumor. Emmi helped us through the uncertainty.

I also have a serious health concern that might require Chemo. So far so good. I think I will be ok, but Chemo might be in my future. Slim possibility.

But this raises an important question. When someone is on Chemo, how harmful is it to birds and animals in general? I have plans to stay with my cousin if I require Chemo. It's safer for my husband that way, with his health concerns. I would rather be safe then sorry. But what about my aunt's birds and animals? I'm wondering if I should invite her parakeets to stay in my home while she is on chemo and a little bit after. I would also like to take Emmi to see my aunt so I wonder how long after is it safe to do so?

Anyhow, I'm looking forward to the New Year...2015!! Lol...This one sucks so far. I'm only in my mid 30's and it sounds like I'm 82 or something. Sigh. I eat well, I swear! I blame cell phones and fluoride and plastic and tv and why not...Obama. jk lol

Please do take your aunt's animals into your home while she is having the treatment and for three months after the end of the treatment.

[KimberlyAnn]

3 months after too? Oh this is not what I expected. Ok I really hope I don't have to do this and at this point, I will have to talk to her about rehoming. (It is inevitable as her husband won't be interested in keeping them. She will be having Chemo treatments on and off until she wants to stop. It is Glioblastoma so it's an extension of life and not for recovery. I wonder about her rabbits? Cats? They are outside cats.

I just wanted to say that I am very sorry to hear of your aunt. *Hugs*

[cml]

Sorry to hear that .

I get that pets (among many things) arent optimal to have around with the infection risk etc while being chemo, but are you saying it will be dangerous for them as well? I never heard of that. Also, you mentioned your husband kimberly?

[Cherman23]

Sorry to hear this. We are going through a similar situation with my mom. I totally agree with removing the pets while your aunt is going through chemo. Prayers for your aunt and you.

[KimberlyAnn]

My husband's immune system is not that great and he has diabetes. I heard some reports of Chemo leeching out of skin. With birds being so sensitive to a lot of things, I just thought it best that if I needed to do it, I would leave for a time and with my husband's long hours, my cousin could take care of me. Maybe a little too careful and over the top, but that was the plan. I'm almost sure I won't be going through this. Fingers crossed!

With my aunt, not only will she for sure be doing chemo, but radiation as well. Radiation...pets and humans with health issues should stay away. Chemo will be started first.

So I think this seperation is as important to my aunt's health, as it is for her pets. They are so important to her and I know she wants what's best for them. They are her babies. It will be easier for her if she knows they are alright.

[KimberlyAnn]

And thanks for the support. Cherman, I'm so sorry about your mother.

Sorry to hear KimberlyAnn...

I've heard by the Mexicans Soursop is used over Chemo;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soursop

I seriously doubt I'd use Chemo if I had Cancer, Westerners have to realize there is a big world that treats cancer in different ways that work...

I'd seriously look into Soursop to supplement, you make it into a juice...

Check out Phoenix Tears, he's cured cancer before;

http://phoenixtears.ca/

The Western Pharmaceutical Industry is about making Profit not Curing people, because it's not profitable to cure, then they'd make no money selling you drugs, and that's not a joke American's need to wake up to...

When you have health issues you have to get on a 'Hardcore Health' Diet to allow the body to get strong and fight. The body can fight with the right things being done, you don't always need drugs.

Also check out Dr. Weil, he is a Harvard Medical Graduate and the first time Harvard sat up and spoke out against the Drug Industry in America, proclaiming you don't need drugs unless you're dying, otherwise stay away.

Drugs are a Lethal Dosage of Poison, increase any of them and they can kill you, so that's the crap doctors feed you, and most of it is BS...

http://www.drweil.com/

I'd have your family buy this book; (Dr. Weil's Spontaneous Healing)

http://www.amazon.com/Spontaneous-Heali ... 0804117942

People don't realize that the body has the ability to heal itself from many things, cancer too!

With Drugs you suppress the body's ability to fight, with things of health, excersise and nutrition you allow the body to maintain strenght and fight on it's own.

Also when people get Cancer your PH balance is Acidic, not Netural. A person with Cancer needs to eat a Diet that is Alkaline Rich to balance the PH in their body. Disease can't live in a Netural Alkaline State in the body! Cancer thrives in an Acidic unbalanced ph state, and this is something you'll rarely find a doctor telling you, WHY because zapping you instead with Chemo makes them rich, not telling you HOW to really take care of this!

And yes Water can kill you too some might say, but it's not the point! Doctors are just Legalized Drug Pushers!

True health is hard to learn in America because so much of the Health Industry too is about profit. To learn about real health you have to look at where the healtiest people in the world live and it's not America.

The Balkan Region of the world is some of the oldest living people in the world. Also the oldest living people of the world mainly eat a vegetarian diet.

While meat is a complete source of Protein, this is why Hippy Vegans typically look sick, because they don't know how to mix up their veggie meals to make a complete source of protein, meat is also a DEAD SOURCE of protein. What does that mean? It's a food that does nothing for the body, as in really feeding it like living sprouted foods do, with enzymes, and probiotics, etc...

Here's the simplest way to remember the above statement;

Eat Living Food to Live
Eat Dead food to die

But if you must eat meat(s), then do so very sparingly, maybe once a week when your body is use to going with out. And ONLY buy meats from the health food store or a store that sells it Organic and Hormone Free!

And last thing the Doctors, well some are at least starting to tell you know, it's the chemicals and artifical perservatives things in food that is killing you. Don't believe it? Then look at HOW people in 3rd world countries are living longer than in supposed Rich Western Countries!

Chemical Free too is the only way to live long!

Cheers

Thanks for that Scotty, it is very good information! She is also attacking it by diet and has been a raw foodest for many years now. She's also done the PH diet for the last several years. I know she will be doing raw coconut treatments and I will let her know about soursop. There us also something about lizard saliva pills, but I think that is more to regulate blood sugar levels in case she has problems.

Sadly, she must do the chemo and radiation while she fine tunes her diet. The tumors growth is very fast and with her already wonderful diet, it didn't make a dent in it. We would lose her in less then two months. She wants to use whatever tools she has to let her live as long as she can. Chemo and radiation will give her enough time to do what she needs and wants to do. It has slowed growth with Glioblastoma and given people sometimes as much as a year and a half that they would otherwise not have. I have a pretty good grasp on healthy eating and eat 80% raw myself, but I'm a firm believer to do whatever it takes.
