I've been a long time nexus follower, this is my first new post in years because I've been busy.... I have a dear friend who has been recently diagnosed with a B-Type non Hodgkins Lymphoma, can anybody offer any advice about the use of DMT or Ayahuasca treatment? I am also interested if MXE or any medicine for that matter can help, and if anyone knows of any Ayahuasca retreats with any experience in this area, my friend is in the Quebec region and I'd be eternally grateful to anyone that can help him. I would be also willing to travel to Peru with him if anyone can recommend a good/responsible center. Please PM me if you have information that is sensitive, but please use this thread to discuss ideas/thoughts/feelings on the subject. Peace love and light- ibeing897

Sorry to hear about your friend's illness.

Firstly, MXE is not going to do anything, except perhaps help your friend become more comfortable with with the idea of Death.

Similarly, while apparently some people have had miracle cures from Ayahuasca, I perceive it to really be more of a psychic medicine than a physical one. To cure something like Lymphoma, either She REALLY has to like you, or it will be a long-term endeavor, combined with relevant medicinal admixture plants. And then finding the right retreat center is no small matter...

I have no experience with this, but there has been a lot of buzz in the past few years about Cannabis Oil's ability to cure cancer, when ingested orally in sufficient doses.

Here are some results from the first page of a google search for 'cannabis oil lymphoma':

My Experience with Cannabis Oil Vs. Cancer (some comments on Lymphoma)

There's much more cannabis/cancer information out there on the web, should your friend decide it's something they want to pursue further...

breathing pattern correction can be an immense help and might cure your friend

diseases changes breathing patterns , conscious breathing can restore equilibrium and ease in the body ,

i can write more about this , yet if this appears outrageously simple i'll refrain from further posting on this subject

You are asking for medical advice, which should only be given by qualified medical personnel, who would need to do a proper examination of the patient/situation.

Apart from that, I have seen some research indicating anti-tumor effects of harmine and harmaline, which are the active principles in Syrian Rue and Banisteriopsis Caapi. I have also seen it reported that rue is used against some forms of cancer in middle-eastern folk medicine. This should not be taken as medical advice, just some pointers for more research.

I wish your friend the best of strength (and luck) dealing with his condition.

Visiting a local or nearby Santo Daime or UDV community may be more convenient and less demanding.

That´s so so sad, I wish you and your friend all the strength,

So on aya, it sadly does not cure diseases like cancer. At most it can (or can not) help with some of the mental trauma that comes with being diagnosed with cancer.



At Jin,

Please stop spreading this kind of quackery, you are not helping anyone!

firstly, we cannot say ayahuasca can or cannot cure cancer. None of you know this, period. there is enough studies that do show anti tumor effects of peganum harmala extracts etc, but to extrapolate from that statements on ayahuasca curing or not curing cancer makes little sense.

That said, I dont think ayahuasca is going to make it any worse.

If it was me, I would get on a seriously clean diet asap, and start on high doses of cannabis juice or oil daily. Cleaning up lifestyle factors is not going to work against a person, even if it does not work as a cure..might as well try.

Beyond that, I wish you/your friend the best.

If you want alternative medical advice(for treatments like herbal regimes, ayahuasca etc) you should probly get your friend to see a competent naturopathic physician or herbalist etc. There is an american herbalist guild that has strict requirements of years of real clinical herbalist training to be a member etc, that can help you find such people in your area if that is of interest. You should really seek out these people for more information as they are qualified to give such information. Im not big on these kinds of guilds etc that over regulate stuff but in this case it is probly useful to help avoid the overnight internet certificate people who dont have real expeirence etc...

Turkey tail mushrooms are really big as a cancer treatment and seem to be pretty effective as far as I know. I saw Paul Stamets a couple months ago and he seems to think there is untapped potential in many of these polypore mushroom species.

Here are recent reviews on the use of Cannabinoids and Ayahuasca in cancer treatment. I sincerely hope the best for your friend.

Reishi (Ganoderma Lucidum) is also a polypore mushroom. Apparently it, or extracts from it, is used in Japan for some (lung?)cancer treatments by orthodox medical professionals.

This is absolutely not a medical reccomendation of any sort, and I completely do not advise you do this, but seeing as how I was browsing the internet and this xampe up at the same time as this thread, here is a very interesting thread...http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=4146

If you read the thread, someone actually suggestively associates MDMA, cytotoxicity and heavy XTC users's mental condition

The paper referenced there is:

While the thread is degrading into surreptiously giving medical advice while trying to appear not to, I'm going to steer it off-topic alltogether and point out another study that I stumbled onto while looking for the above article. It is somewhat relevant to cancer and chemotherapy though. If you read it carefully, it states that the drugs that are mass-prescribed by psychiatrists are likely causing "chemo brain".

Chemo brain – A psychotropic drug phenomenon?
Grace E. Jackson
doi:10.1016/j.mehy.2007.06.019

Summary
The phenomenon of ‘chemo brain’ refers to a cluster of potentially long-lasting, cognitive deficiencies which are caused by systemic cancer treatments. While the oncology community has gradually acknowledged the existence of chemo brain as an unintended consequence of anti-neoplastic therapies, other fields of medicine have been less astute. Preliminary research evidence has suggested a role for many existing psychopharmaceuticals in fighting malignancies, based upon the capacity of these drugs to modify gene expression, cell turnover, and cell death (e.g., apoptosis). The author presents the hypothesis that the same mechanisms which suppress the growth and survival of cancer cells may pose similar hazards to non-diseased neurons, thereby inducing the cognitive changes which oncologists have come to associate with chemo brain. The article discusses the specific examples of valproic acid, clomipramine, and fluoxetine as treatments for solid tumors, primary brain tumors, and Burkitt’s lymphoma, respectively. Clinicians, regardless of specialization, are encouraged to consider the potential reality of psychotropic chemo brain, in order to avoid or limit the use of medications which cause it, and in order to prioritize the delivery of rehabilitative strategies in an effort to mitigate or reverse its features.

ok , ill stop posting this nonsense

in anycase i am hoping for a positive outcome to the situation ,

I'm well aware that true medical advise is not really applicable here, but I appreciate some of the responses.... I had figured MXE would be more of a terminally ill treatment but I've read about neuro-genesis studies and the like, plus it has strong effects on energy and androgenic systems, a least anecdotal it seems that way with so little research. I appreciate any thoughts on things that say, can't hurt and are worth trying, I like the sound of these mushrooms also cannabis oil, TBC he is undergoing conventional chemotherapy treatment with Rituximab, Etopiside infusions and glucocortisoids....
