Paw Paw - Cancer

Is any one out there with Thyroid Ca and the use of the paw paw program? To Dr McLaughlin or Gina, and others. I am new to Natures Sunshine. I am dealing with Hurthle Cell Ca, a thyroid Ca. I have a five year history of diagnosis, surgeries, Radiation, R I 131 and more and more. A new "Hot spot" is showing up under my sternum. I do not want another sternotomy. I am doing what I am learning. I have added: digestive enzymes, an intestinal build to move things out, Pap Paw cell reg for the ÇÅ cells.. immune booster, Protease, NONI, and my dolomite, cod liver oil for my inflamed tissues. So in case the "Hot spot" is an inflamation and not Ca. I am hoping by Jan 5th when I go back for more scans and the biopsy. There is a reduced " Hot Spot" or some positive change. I do not have markers like others talk about.. Now a question. it says no thyroid simulators. I must take levexyl since I have no thyroid gland any more. is this okay? Any one out there with experience? Ideas, testimonials appreciated. -Kathy Rowe

I sent your question regarding your thyroid meds and Paw Paw Cell Reg to home office. Here is their reply: -Georgiana

From: hs@natr.com Good morning, It is fine to take Levexyl since you do not have a thyroid gland. These hormones are essential for you since you cannot make them on your own. The precaution on the label about thyroid stimulators is for those that may take products to "boost" the thyroid to above normal levels. Such products like 7-keto may do this. If there is more than average thyroid function this may decrease the action of paw paw. Good luck. Sincerely, Gina Benson NSP Scientist Health Sciences Department

Hi Kathy, You are doing the right things. The other answer covered the question about the thyroid medication very well. I went to Columbus, Ohio to tape Dr. McLaughlin's talk on the 31st of October. I have posted an audio version and a version with audio and slides on an information website. This is available for free. Look for the link below. Once connected, click on "science and health."
