WOW! I am thrilled to hear this news. Researchers have been studying cancer as an infectious disease and have determined it responds to antibiotics.
QUOTE- ""Based on this analysis, we now show that 4-to-5 different classes of FDA-approved drugs can be used to eradicate cancer stem cells, in 12 different cancer cell lines, across 8 different tumor types (breast, DCIS, ovarian, prostate, lung, pancreatic, melanoma, and glioblastoma (brain)).
These five classes of mitochondrially-targeted antibiotics include: the erythromycins, the tetracyclines, the glycylcyclines, an anti-parasitic drug, and chloramphenicol."
YES! Glory be!
Here are the original studies that I'd been collecting and hoping they would be expanded on...
I've experimented with this treatment approach in an animal and a human and it worked. I just wasn't, of course, qualified to write up studies and results.
PLEASE send this out to everyone you know. Every day we hear of more and more cancer and this might give those folks more hope!
I now cry, still cry, for those we've lost while waiting for these answers to be brought to light and cry for those who've suffered the ill effects of chemo, radiation and surgery.

Tincup,
Really appreciate this info! Thank you. Is it any wonder that those of with Lyme/tbd should take such interest in this? Hardly; not after it has been discussed in various scientific circles that viruses and bacteria -enter Lyme and coinfections- may trigger cancers in some!
Again, thank you so much for passing along the articles.
Told you...

Thanks for sharing the new study, Tincup.
That is great news!
I shared it on fb.

Thanks Tincup ! I have lyme and lung cancer. I am taking everything under the sun to arrest these beasts, (Holistically), I didn't go for chemo or radiation.
So Should I get right on these antibiotics? and if so, could someone suggest the right antibiotic for lung cancer? Or their best guess ?
I am not shy and will try almost anything.
I knew there was a reason to be here, I just didn't know why until now.
Thanks so much for any suggestions.
Posted by Tincup (Member # 5829) on :
Lightfoot- Glad to see you!!!
Told- You are right! WE all need this info. Glad it can be of help, perhaps?
Dekrator- I still haven't "got" that Facebook or twitter thing down yet- old dog, new tricks- it actually scares me (don't tell anyone I said that), so I appreciate you sharing it!!! Thanks!
Oh bitbit- I should have prepared for this and didn't. First, I am NOT a doctor and can not give any medical advise. Got that? Say yes. Ok.
Now, if it were ME, I'd most likely be doing exactly what you are doing to date. It appears, and I want you to read the entire article and get help with understanding it if need be... but it said in one spot...
"As a consequence of these positive findings, we next tested the ability of azithromycin to inhibit tumor-sphere formation in a wide-variety of cell lines derived from many different tumor types, including ER(-) breast cancer, ovarian, lung, pancreatic, and prostate cancer, as well as melanoma (summarized in Table 1).
For simplicity, we used a single concentration of 250 µM.
Figure 4 (panels A and B) directly shows that azithromycin inhibited tumor-sphere formation in these 8 additional well-established cell lines, representing 6 different cancer types.
Thus, azithromycin was effective against tumor-sphere formation in all 10 cell lines tested." "
Can you get a local doc to assist you with this? Can you check and see if there are any studies in your area that might enroll you? Please do.
Sending hugs and my best to you. Keep fighting too.
And now, go do something really goofy and laugh. I hear that is the best medicine.

Yes Tincup I Appreciate That none of us are drs, but thanks for the suggestions and I know these are only suggestions as that's all we really can do here is suggest.
I am sort of flipping out because for the last week I have been feeling so much better, I don't know what it is but man just a small break like this is amazing..
I certainly don't expect this to last forever but omg it feels like a miracle.
I have been taking:
Magnesium (6 weeks)
cannibus oil (15 different strains of pot) 6 months
Gse (Grapefruit seed extract) 5 yrs
Colloidal silver (20 ppm) 5yrs
Olive leaf extract (3 days)
Essiac tea (5 weeks)
Prayer 6 yrs (more than usual)
Anything and everything that kills yeast and Candida (5 yrs)
Huge diet Changes, ?? on and off 5 yrs
Some good high quality multi vitamins (3 yrs)
Lots of antibiotics and different types... on off (5 yrs)
Garlic and vit c in fairly large doses (5Yrs)
But yes Tincup... Laughter and a good attitude are vital.
My Lyme is more of a mental brainfog lyme as apposed to a sore joints fibromyalgia type of lyme.
I will be adding antibiotics to this already cramped regime now.
Bio Bio Good-byo to lyme (We Hope)

So. How do you get a doc to prescribe. In my experience they only do what they are told to do

I was trying to private message you, but I don't see how to.
Please start drinking Turkey Tail Mushroom Tea. Also start taking Turkey Tail Mushroom supplements from Host Defense.
Studies have shown it helps stop cancer. The creator of Host Defense helped cure his mother of stage four cancer with Turkey Tail Mushrooms.
Posted by dal123 (Member # 6313) on :
Tincup,
Can you give us details on your study with animal cancer and antibiotics? What kind of cancer and which antibiotics?
Posted by bitbit99 (Member # 43654) on :
I will for sure get the mushroom tea, I will call my health food store and see if they carry that brand and if not ill get it online. I see a Canadian phone # on their site. Thanks Sacred Heart
I know miracles happen so I'll just keep looking for one Posted by LisaK (Member # 41384) on :
I remember hearing about a female dr from the northeast USA that did extensive research on how all cancers are from parasites.
that was like 25 years ago I heard that. I forget her name, of course, but have always been wondering.....
I know back then she was poopooed by the medical community for this. it's a shame things take to long for people to really look into things and see the light.

Bitbit 99.
You do not have a PM so I will tell you here.
You have a Biophoton practitioner in Toronto.
I suggest you look into this. It is helping me a lot.
There are lots of studies on PubMed.
Posted by bitbit99 (Member # 43654) on :
Thanks Dekrator48, patches10025 and Lymetoo.
I will look into the Biontology, it looks interesting. I have a rife machine but want a rife partner to use it with me. Haven't found anyone yet.
On my regime I forgot to say the oil I take I swallow not smoke.
And I always take good probiotics even when I'm not taking antibiotics,(I don't know how I forgot to write that down at 51 dollars a bottle!)
Oh Ya Baking soda with lemon and Coconut oil just for good measure.
And my health food store confirmed today they have the Host Defence Mushroom pills in stock.(looking forward to those)
Thank You Again and my health food store also thanks you Posted by Catgirl (Member # 31149) on :
I saw this last year and it was probably the best advice for people with cancer, and those who don't want it, that I've ever seen or heard. Lots of cutting edge info (no affiliation). I think they are going to run it again at the end of this month.
Clarithromycin (CAM) is a well-known macrolide antibiotic available as a generic drug. CAM is traditionally used for many types of bacterial infections, treatment of Lyme disease and eradication of gastric infection with Helicobacter pylori.
Extensive preclinical and clinical data demonstrate a potential role for CAM to treat various tumours in combination with conventional treatment.
The mechanisms of action underlying the anti-tumour activity of CAM are multiple and include prolonged reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines, autophagy inhibition, and anti-angiogenesis.
Here, we present an overview of the current preclinical (in vitro and in vivo) and clinical evidence supporting the role of CAM in cancer.
Overall these findings justify further research with CAM in many tumour types, with multiple myeloma, lymphoma, chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML), and lung cancer having the highest level of evidence.
Finally, a series of proposals are being made to further investigate the use of CAM in clinical trials which offer the greatest prospect of clinical benefit to patients.

Catgirl- It's your fault! I actually jotted myself a note late last night- like I really needed to (NOT)- that said "Clean your house pig pen!" ~smile~
Well, I didn't get 'er done and I am blaming you for it!
That link you posted was VERY good!!! I actually found the first segment of the series- about an hour long- and then saw the second one- also an hour long- on youtube.
I intend to take advantage of watching the full series at the end of March for free. Many thanks for sharing that!!!
Now, get your mop, your bucket and duster and get on over here! We've got work to do!!
Posted by bitbit99 (Member # 43654) on :
Thanks CatGirl... Signed up and saw first segment, Thanks nice of you to post
Thanks Tincup, Ya I don't mind taking antibiotics since they are now supposed to help both my conditions (BONUS)
I took an h-pac ,(7 days antibiotics),for h-pyloyi about 3 weeks ago, now im wondering if that's why I felt so good there for a week? (about 2 weeks after I took it)
I don't get this brain barrier thing 100 percent but I know I have to get well upstairs, the extreme fog and no motivation, fatigue etc is brutal.
All I know is I am better than I was 5 1/2 yrs ago. Far from cured but closer.
Life Changes so quickly.

There is no mention of blood cancers. My husband has multiple myeloma.
Any word on blood cancers?
Posted by Catgirl (Member # 31149) on :
Tincup (lol) and Bitbit you're welcome. It was so good that I bought the series so I could watch it over and over again (lyme brain). Know you'll love it. :)

Hey ktk... (EDITED BELOW- NEXT POST!)
"Based on this analysis, we now show that 4-to-5 different classes of FDA-approved drugs can be used to eradicate cancer stem cells, in 12 different cancer cell lines, across 8 different tumor types (breast, DCIS, ovarian, prostate, lung, pancreatic, melanoma, and glioblastoma (brain))."
You're right. I don't know why, but if you check pub-med you may find something on it. Was also looking up NIH clinical trials the other day for a friend, and there were tons of them for cancer. Might check there? I believe I saw references to "blood cancers".
Hope that helps!
Posted by Tincup (Member # 5829) on :
OK ... I was wrong. Ouch, that hurt to say. ~smile~
Ktk... It does have the cancer you mentioned, but it is in the second study I posted, not the first.
"Overall these findings justify further research with CAM in many tumour types, with multiple myeloma, lymphoma, chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML), and lung cancer having the highest level of evidence."
Here is the reference. Repurposing Drugs in Oncology (ReDO)-clarithromycin as an anti-cancer agent. Van Nuffel AM1, Sukhatme V2, Pantziarka P3, Meheus L1, Sukhatme VP4, Bouche G1.

ktkdommer,
Here is some info about curcumin and multiple myeloma. There are more studies on PubMed.
I wish I had read this 11 years ago when my dad was diagnosed with lung cancer.
Does the antibiotic treatment work to reduce cancer spread once it's already metastisized? (probably spelled that wrong, sorry)
Thanks for these excellent resources.
Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
Bitbit, the links to Ty Bollinger's two series on fighting cancer naturally are on Tincup's other thread - I posted full notes on all the episodes about what everyone's doing to fight back naturally, many of them making it back from stage 3 and stage 4 cancers!
Ok, here's the link to the other thread - scroll down for the Ty links -
Pale- I am not well versed in the microbiology and tech stuff and can't answer that myself. Sorry. And so sorry to hear about your dad too.
I can say I remember in the mice study the doxy made tumors go away completely and when doxy was stopped the tumors came back.
Even more amazing- when the tumors came back doxy was given again to the mice and again the tumors disappeared.
A dog I followed had bad cancerous tumors in his bones and was not expected to live. With nothing to lose I put him on Doxy had him at full recovery- totally amazing to see it.
Doxy was later stopped by the owners when they got back (I was house sitting for several months and caring for the dog) cause the vet told them that couldn't possibly be the reason the dog was better and I was nuts, blah blah.
So the owners listened to her instead of me and stopped the doxy. I didn't know they did at the time.
Tumors came back and the dog unfortunately died. Broke my heart. The owners, several years later, finally told me they are sure that the doxy was the reason the dog got better and they shouldn't have stopped it. Makes me sad.

bitbit, My lyme doctor told me about a cancer clinic in Santa Rosa, California that uses natural methods. I think it's okay to post a clinic, not a doctor, so the name is Amitabha Clinic. My doc thinks it's very effective but it is expensive.
