</b><b>"My fathers diagnosis: Merkell cells carcinoma"
My 48 year old father suffers from a type of cancer, which is very rare here in Ireland where we live. In English, his diagnosis is called Merkell cells carcinoma. The doctors say that there is only one case every 5 years. Let me tell you how this disease has manifested: two ganglions from his leg joint have swollen. One of them is as big as a tennis ball and the other one is smaller. The blood tests and the echographies did not show anything serious although the doctors admitted that the swelling was not normal. It was only a year later that my father underwent a biopsy. The result was terrible: cancer. He had the two ganglions removed, but after having undergone the surgery, his leg swelled even worse. The doctors said that this reaction was normal and they prescribed him three months of chemotherapy. He bore these terrible pains too, but his leg is still swollen. Could you please help us with a natural treatment? Thank you very much.

I am 47 years old and I live in Montreal. 4 years ago I suffered from pneumonitis but the doctors also detected bronchiectases (dilated bronchia). I have suffered from lung infections many times since then (with streptococcus and / or staphylococcus) and, according to what the doctors say, I should take antibiotics all the time. I try to take these antibiotics only once a year and to replace them with a natural treatment during the rest of the time (volatile oils, Reiki, massages, Chinese plants). However, I havent been feeling good at all: I stopped going to my office, I am not in a good shape anymore, I feel exhausted (three years ago I suffered from a mononucleosis) and I believe that my immune system does not function normally. Even now I suffer from bronchitis and I cannot get healed although I take a very strong antibiotic. I am desperate and I do not know what to do anymore. Is there anyone who knows of a natural treatment? Thank you very much.

</b><b>"How could I help my little son breathe normally?"
I have problems with my 5 year old son. His polypus and tonsils were surgically removed this year in March. I hoped he would stop snoring and having the snuffles all the time. But he does not rest al all because he cannot breathe on his nose and because he cannot smell. He has also lost his appetite. The doctor said that he might suffer from allergy and he prescribed my son Zirtec syrup (pseudo ephedrine hydrochloride) and Nasonex nasal spray (mometasone furoate monohydrate), but he still has the snuffles. I would like you to recommend me some other way to help him be able to breathe: drops, syrup or some natural remedy that would not affect his health. I cannot prepare a natural herbal treatment because I cannot find the necessary plants here, but I could ask someone to send them to me from Romania, if they may be found at Plafar or at other shops of this kind. Thank you very much for any piece of advice.
P.S. It is such a great thing what you manage to do by the medium of this magazine. You cannot even imagine how much joy you bring to those who were born in Romania, but do not live there any longer.

</b><b>"My only 5 year old little daughter has only 6 months left to live! "
I am a grieving mother who believes in your ability to help your fellows.
Three weeks ago, my five year old daughter began to have numerous collapses with 1-3 seconds consciousness loses. As I was alarmed, I went to Calarasi County Hospital. There the doctors advised us to go to Bucharest to the Psychiatry Hospital "Prof. Dr. Alexandru Obregia "for some medical tests. My little daughter was diagnosed with sub-acute sclerosing panencephalitis (Sspe). It is an incurable, rather rare disease, caused by measles which she suffered from when she was 11 months and a half. As she had a weaker immune system then, the doctors told me that the measles microbe had infected her brain the anti measles vaccination is usually applied at the age of one year, but in my daughter case it was not applied anymore because of the measles manifestation. The "incubation" lasted for four years (it could have lasted either longer or shorter, depending on the organism) but my little girl grew up in a normal way, both physically and psychically speaking. However, during all this time she was often down with a cold and had her throat irritated. When the disease broke out (collapses with consciousness loses) the doctors said that she would not live for more than 2-6 months. Please suggest me a natural treatment which could stop the disease from taking its course and could strengthen her immune system! Isoprinozina (Isoprinosine inosinum) was also recommended to stop the disease but I could not find it. If there is anybody who knows of a pharmacy where I may buy it from or who may sell it to me, please let me know.
I would also want to know if Imunomod medicine may be effective in my daughters case. As I am so desperate that I cannot stop thinking of all kind of treatments. What should I do? Please, help me! Thank you and I am looking forward for your answer.

</b><b>"Because of his lung tumour, my father keeps coughing"
My 62 year old father has a very serious problem. In January 2002 he began to have very strong cough attacks which usually last for about 24 hours. The doctors from the "Filaret" Hospital where he was hospitalized diagnosed him with left lung tumour. He cannot undergo surgery because he had two heart attacks a few years ago which caused him obstructed coronary arteries. He was prescribed many treatments but the cough attacks did not ameliorate. On the contrary, they seem to occur more frequently and thus preventing him from resting. Please, if you know of any natural treatment against the tumour or for the cough amelioration, help me, as you are my only hope. Thank you very much!

"My mother suffers from invasive carcinoma"
I have a terrible grief. One month ago my mother underwent a surgery on her left breast. The result of the medical test performed during the surgery was not cancer and so her breast was not surgically removed. But the subsequent biopsy showed a stage 3 invasive carcinoma. She was recommended to undergo a second surgery but she refused. I turn to the readers of your magazine to suggest me what to do. Maybe there is someone who suffered from this terrible disease and who got cured with the help of a natural treatment. I hope there is somebody who can help my dearest mother. Thank you in advance.

"Our son was diagnosed with keratoconus"
Our 25 year old son was diagnosed with keratoconus, which affected his eyes. We inquired about the treatment against such a disease but the doctors told us about some lenses which were not very helpful because the disease takes its course. The only remedy would be the cornea transplant which, as far as I know, is not performed in our country. We are simple people, pensioners, and we do not know how we could help our son. We turn to you with tears in our eyes to help us get over this dreadful situation. Where could a cornea transplant be performed? Is there any natural treatment against keratoconus? Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We are looking forward to getting an answer.

My 26 year old son suffers from pulmonary pseudo cysts (airy cists). He cannot undergo any surgery because he has suffered from bronchitic asthma since he was a little boy. For the time being his pulmonary capacity is reduced to 20% and therefore no doctor would perform the surgery. If you know of any treatment against such a disease, please help me.

Our Readers Answer</b><b>"I am so ashamed that I cannot even enter a church!
(Answer for Delia Baia Mare, F. As no.503)
I also experienced bloats and flatulence (gases). I see that you have already received some answers and I hope that mine will help you solve the problems caused by this disorder. I suffered from the same disorder for six years (while I was in high school and the first university years). I had to skip many lectures, I could not spend too much time in the reading room and it was an ordeal for me to go by bus. Meanwhile I saw many doctors; I took all kind of pills to regulate my digestion. I was also on diet but everything was in vain. I ran some complete medical tests abroad (endoscopy etc), and I was diagnosed with low functioning stomach and allergic intestines. The doctors prescribed me a treatment and also gave me a huge list of forbidden food (among which there were also fruit and vegetables) and another shorter one, of the permitted food (especially meat and pasta). This was not of any help because what I was not allowed to eat was exactly the healthy food. As I was not satisfied with my situation, I began to read more and more books related to nutrition. In one book about Yoga (I am not a proponent of this doctrine) I came across the following quotation which guides the yogis to a healthy eating: "Eat your breakfast by yourself, share your lunch with your friends and throw your dinner away!" In other words, you should eat a lot in the morning, less at lunch and nothing in the evening. As I had no other choice, I tried to follow this piece of advice, too, and now my disorder is history. At first, during the first week, it was rather difficult; I had my lunch at about two oclock and in the evening I had just a salad, fruit or fresh vegetables. You should eat fruit without having eaten anything beforehand because they are easy to digest. If they meet other food in their digestive way, they start fermenting, thus resulting gases. Now, the food - potatoes, peas and beans - that I sometimes eat for lunch, reminds me of my old disorder. I enjoy this kind of food only during holidays.

"I have had terrible problems ever since I was provoked menopause"
(Answer for Viorica Badescu Timisoara, F. As no.509)
When menopause is provoked, it may cause a critical condition, characterized by irascibility, anxiety, psychic depression. Moreover these reactions are accompanied by dizziness (vertigos) and swoon sensations, by nocturnal perspiration and by hypersensitivity, which affects my relations with the others. I have personally experienced this problem and thus there is nobody who could understand you better. In my case there also occurred cardiac disturbances (arrhythmia, palpitations, respiratory insufficiency). The "Revital" reflex-therapy consulting room was the only place where I could find both understanding and a good treatment. Go there to see a doctor and you will be amazed by the preciseness of the diagnoses. I must admit, the effects did not show after the first sessions. I took 25 sessions of sole massages and my present condition is excellent. Do not hesitate to address this consulting room and you will not be disappointed. At the same time with the reflex-therapy, another herbal treatment was recommended to me at the above mentioned consulting room: mix up 20 g yellow locust blossom (Robinia pseudacacia), 20 g of common elder blossom (Sambucus nigra), 10 g mugwort (Artemisia Absintium), 20 g liquorice roots (Glycyrrhiza glabra), 20 g common bennet (Geum urbarum) and 10 g of juniper broads (Juniperus communis ssp. Nana). Take one spoonful of this mixture and let it steep in a jug of water for 3 hours. After this interval, boil the entire mixture for five minutes over a low heat gently, and filter it after 10 minutes. Drink 2-3 jugs of this composition every day. You may prepare at most 1 liter of infusion daily which should be refrigerated. Before drinking it you should always sweeten it and warm it up to 40 oC. I wish you to be in good health!

"My mother may suffer anytime a cerebral vascular attack"
(Answer for Alexandra Buzea Brasov, F. As no.514)
The apple vinegar and honey represent a very effective and easy to undergo longstanding treatment for veins and arteries elasticity and for a good blood circulation. Put 1-2 spoonful of apple vinegar and one teaspoon of honey into a glass of water and drink it three times a day before or after meals. The treatment is longstanding. You should avoid fats, sugar, salt as well as frying. Drink maximum 2 l of wild thymel (Thymus ser) or common basil (Prunella vulgaris) infusion mixed up with aromatic tea plants (1 part of common basil and 3 parts of aromatic tea). Drink only natural juice and do not eat or drink synthetically colored products. I wish your mother to be in good health!

"After a cervix neoplasm surgery, my sister still has swollen legs"
(Answer for Lenuta Stancele Marsani, Jud. Dolj, F. As no.514)
I do not work in the medical field and what I am going to tell you is based on my personal experience. I underwent surgery because of the same diagnosis and I know that a part of the ganglions around the tumour were removed in order to be investigated. The doctors had told me that my legs would swell and their explanation was the following: the ganglions regulate the lymph circulation, and their absence causes the lymph stagnation in the lower limbs. The upright position of the body, due to the gravitation force, worsens the circulation of the lymph. In this case, physiotherapy (massage and physical exercises such as lying on the floor and moving your legs as if riding a bicycle) is the remedy. These physical exercises should be done twice a week. I do these exercises almost everyday. This kind of massage is known as a lymphatic drainage, but I could not find anyone to perform it (in Bucharest). Unfortunately I also suffered from thrombosis at one of my legs. Be sure that your sister does not suffer from the same disease. For further information, call me. I wish your sister to be in good health and also to have a lot of strength.

</b><b>"My daughter cannot be cured of a pilonidal cyst"
(Answer for Paulina Moise Constanta, F. As no.515)
The cyst that troubles your daughter may be cured with castor-oil (Ricinus Communis) compresses. Soak a piece of lint with castor-oil, press it on the cyst, and keep it there for 3 hours. Repeat this procedure several times. She may also keep the compress during the whole night. Apply another dry cloth and a piece of cellophane over the compress and then tie it with a bandage in order to keep it fixed. The castor-oil will eliminate the infection and will visibly diminish the cyst. Even after the elimination of the cyst, you should continue to apply the above mentioned compresses for 2 weeks. Usually it is advisable to repeat the treatment only if the cyst recurs. Your daughter will definitely get cured. I wish your daughter to be in good health!

"I suffer from climax osteoporosis and autoimmune thyroiditis"
(Answer for Adelina Falticeni, F. As no.516)
Dear Mrs. Adelina, the symptoms, the diagnosis and your pessimism are familiar to me because I suffered from the same disease, some years ago. As you live in Moldavia, you could find your inner peace in one of the many monasteries in only three days. In 1996 (right after the surgery, when I was feeling down) I had the opportunity of staying three days at the Sihastria monastery. There I participated in unction three times and I was given the blessing by the late Father Ilie Cleopa. When I got back home I was a different person. I began to eat dietetic food and to lead a healthy life in order to be able to overcome this osteoporosis which, because of the surgery, occurred too soon. I think youd better see a good homeopathic doctor, like I did, here in Bucharest ("Visarion" Homeopathy and Acupuncture Center). I also hope that you will succeed in treating both the cause and the effect of the disease in a short period of time and without spending too much money (I suppose you were also prematurely retired). But, above all, you should not worry because your state of mind has an important influence on your healing. There is always a solution but you should keep the faith to overcome this disease! You should also read the "Formula As" magazine from beginning to end, read it again until the next issue comes out and you will see that you are not alone, that it is worth fighting for your life. And, after all, there are cases worse than yours. God endowed each of us with the strength to bear the vicissitudes of life. May God help you!

Dear Florica, I believe that half of the women face more or less serious problems of this kind. Women either do not know that there is a solution for them or they are embarrassed to search for an answer. I also suffered from the same disorder after a hepatitis which seriously affected my liver. Fortunately, this disorder is history. One of my friends took me to see a doctor from Bucharest (Dr. Popescu, tel. 0723/545103). It is rather difficult to get in touch with her because she is very much in demand, but it is worth insisting. She prescribed me a treatment based on E natural vitamin and another 2-3 extracts whose names I do not remember. They were very effective. I feel even better than before I got sick. I hope you will get cured. There is a way!

"I was diagnosed with pseudo bulbar syndrome"
(Answer for F.I. Oradea, F. As no.518)
Your disorders (lack of equilibrium, inability to speak clearly, inability to write cursively, inability to focus your attention and short time memory) may occur because of a deficient blood circulation at the brain level, which does not receive enough oxygen and nutrients. In order to get cured, let me recommend you a natural treatment: Gingko Biloba extract which contains flavonolglycosides and terpen lactones. These substances stimulate the blood circulation within the small vessels (capillaries), relaxing the unstriated muscle from the arteries walls. If you use Bio-Biloba, your blood will run faster and more easily through the dilated blood vessels. Thus, your brain will receive more nutrients and more oxygen.

</b><b>"Is there any natural way of increasing the lactation?"
(Answer for Adriana Novoseli F. As no.519)
If your baby loses weight or does not grow up rapidly, you should take all the necessary measures to increase your lactation. You may increase the quantity of your milk if you suckle your baby more frequently, at request. Just after birth, sucklings usually need 20-45 minutes to be fed. You should use both your breasts every time you suckle your baby in order to have more milk. Being ill or under a lot of stress may cause a smaller quantity of milk. Birth control pills and smoking may also cause a small quantity of milk. You should eat healthy food and add alimentary supplements.
