The dietary supplement known as Poly-MVA (also, Palladium Lipoic Complex) has achieved the extremely impressive feat of becoming the first dietary supplement to receive clearance by the FDA for use in a Cancer Study!! Read about it here:

http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=753

Note that the Press Release states, "The best responding tumors in Dr. Forsythe's studies were prostate cancer, breast cancer and lung cancer. SOME OF THE REMISSIONS in Dr. Forsythe's studies INVOLVED BRAIN CANCER PATIENTS WHO HAD TRIED AND FAILED CONVENTIONAL CANCER TREATMENT PROTOCOLS" [Emphasis Added]. That last statement alone should be more than enough to peak anyone's interest!

If you are not already familiar with Poly-MVA, for more information read my reply on this board to HereWeGo concerning his pet dog which has cancer. Also read about it at these Links:

Then check out these sites about this amazing super antioxidant which has proven to be a miracle treatment for many cancer patients, both human and animal, as well as for many with other conditions. Be sure to make use of the topic Links on the left hand side of the page and/or at the top of the page (and at the bottom center of the page) which you access with the below Links. And be sure to read the testimonials for both people and pets. In addition, note that Poly-MVA is endorsed by some well known physicians.

(NOTE: After choosing a category and clicking "View All..", click on the title of the individual story to bring up the full story. Also note that in the text of the accounts for the various types of cancer, many of them involve metastasis to other parts of the body such as the liver - although Liver Cancer - as an example - is not included as one of the categories of cancer presumably because it was not determined to have been the primary site for the cancer.)

http://facr.org/article-406.html
(Although this particular account is available through both the category and survivor story Links above, I have included it separately as it is particularly well written and informative, and is an excellent example of just how long and detailed some of these accounts prove to be when the individual title has been clicked on to bring up the entire story.)

In the article from his website (at the next Link), Dr. James Forsythe, M.D., H.M.D. (who is both a medical oncologist and homeopathic physician), explains that his use of chemo differs considerably from the standard hard hitting chemo approach, and that it is that difference , along with the use of Poly-MVA, which is responsible for his patients having fewer and less severe side effects. In particular he states regarding his clinical studies:

"My approach to treating cancer uses a low dose fractionated chemo or 'dose dense' chemo where you're getting it more often but in lower doses. So you're getting either the same amount or more chemo but it's spread out so it's less toxic to the patient. My patients have less toxicity than patients who receive the 'sledgehammer approach' which is to really hit the patient hard with chemo every three-four weeks. The sledgehammer chemo patients often have severe toxicities from the chemo."

In further explaining the results of his approach using the Poly-MVA Dr. Forsythe states:

"We have seen patients go into full remission with aggressive, stage IV cancers and we see continued positive results in others with previously chemo-resistant cancer. Other benefits from Poly-MVA are a significantly improved quality of life and a substantial reduction in the number and severity of side effects from chemo and radiation therapies."

Also, in explaining that side effects are minimal in large part because Poly-MVA is nontoxic and natural, Dr. Forsythe states:

"Taking the supplement intravenously, I have seen a small percentage of patients who have reported a chill and/or a low grade fever. This is easily remedied by slowing down the drip or by giving an antihistamine to mitigate any possible allergic reaction. As far as nausea, vomiting or diarrhea, these are uncommon side effects, diarrhea probably being more common than the other two. THERE IS NO HAIR LOSS, NO SKIN RASHES, NO CYTOPENIAS OR LOWERING OF WHITE COUNT AND RED COUNT CELLS. AND WE'VE SEEN NO DAMAGE TO ANY MAJOR ORGAN SYSTEMS SUCH AS THE HEART, LIVER, PANCREAS, OR SEXUAL ORGANS" [Emphasis Added].

http://www.drforsythe.com/cw/poly.php

As Dr. Forsythe explains, and the results of his clinical studies demonstrate, Poly-MVA actually enhances the effects of chemotherapy (at least the particular type of chemo used in his studies) in addition to energizing the patients. Note that although Poly-MVA has often been used as an adjuvant or complementary therapy to improve the results of standard cancer therapy, i.e., chemo, radiation, and/or surgery, it has also been used by some as a stand alone therapy. The group in Dr. Forsythe's studies receiving just the Poly-MVA with no chemo had a 42 percent response rate (see the paragraph entitled "The Poly-MVA clinical results:" two thirds of the way down the page at the above Link).

Poly-MVA has also been used by some for conditions other than cancer. In the group of five information Links above, note the three which detail testimonials, survivor stories, and category stories (mostly by type of cancer). As you will read, some people find it to be a fantastic energizer. However, be aware that as a super antioxidant it is possible that it should not be used at the same time (or within a matter of hours or days) as some types of chemo, as well as the herbal extract, Artemisinin, which kill cancer cells by generating explosions of free radicals. In such cases, theoretically the Poly-MVA might work against that particular type of chemo or the Artemisinin, as the Poly-MVA could mop up, disable, or interfere with the free radicals generated by the action of that type of chemo or the Artemisinin and thus nullify the cancer killing effect of such explosions.

However that does not appear to be the case with the chemo which was used by Dr. Forsythe as clearly demonstrated by the results of Dr. Forsythe's studies. Whether or not the impressive results were due to the timing of the doses of Poly-MVA in relation to the administration (e.g., hours or days before or after) of the chemo, or they were due to the use of a particular type of chemo is not addressed in the currently available articles. However, what is clear is that for at least the first 15 days, as stated by Dr. Forsythe, the Poly-MVA is given intravenously. After that, a therapeutic dose is given orally, " for up to the next 6 to 8 months... depending on the remission of the tumor", before reducing to a maintenance dose.

An additional precaution to be aware of, which is addressed in some detail in the FAQ's (Frequently Asked Questions) about Poly-MVA, is that the use of some supplemental antioxidants should be avoided or taken hours away from Poly-MVA when taking Poly-MVA (for any therapeutic reason, not just as a cancer therapy) as they will reduce the effectiveness of the Poly-MVA. Although as you will read, it is suggested that the supplement CoQ-10 (Coenzyme Q-10) be taken with the Poly-MVA to help increase its effectiveness. For these reasons alone (including the considerations cited in the above two paragraphs) I strongly advise anyone considering using it to treat a health condition to do so only under the direction and guidance of a physician who is familiar with its use. For the FAQ's click here:

http://www.polymva.com/faqs.html

For help in locating such a physician click on the first Link (about testimonials) of the grouping of five Links above. On the page which comes up, near the top right corner of the page on the double Tool Bar (two orange horizontal stripes with topics in blue lettering) is a Link entitled "DOCTORS DIRECTORY" which may help you find a physician in your area who uses it in his/her practice and is familiar with its action. That suggestion was designed in part to familiarize you with those particular Links. However, if you wish, you can save some time by going direct with this Link:

http://www.polymva.com/doctors-directory.html

Many are M.D.'s. For guidance about the use of Poly-MVA, including questions about the use of other supplemental anti-oxidants, and to help answer questions about its use with other modes of treatment (chemo, radiation, etc.), on the same double Tool Bar click on the Link entitled "ABOUT POLY-MVA", or click:

http://www.polymva.com/about-poly-mva.html

Then on the page which comes up, in the blue window near the top of that page click on and read the Link entitled "Guidelines for Usage" and the Link entitled "FAQ's", or click on the above FAQ's Link and read FAQ No. 12. entitled, "Is there anything that may inhibit or minimize the effectiveness while on Poly-MVA?"

Also, at the following Link read the section entitled, "Frequently Asked Questions and Misconceptions":

http://facr.org/pdf/information-packet-updated.pdf

Currently Poly-MVA is sold without prescription by more than one vendor, and with different prices; so it may pay to shop around for the best deal as it is a little pricy, but not out of reach. As an example, one of those selling it at a reduced price (but not necessarily the best or lowest price) is here:

http://www.artistfrirst.com/polymva.html

Another is here:

http://shop.polymva.com/Poly-MVA-8oz--236-ccml_p_2.html

If interested in obtaining Poly-MVA, my advice is to do a web search and find the best deal for the product, including the mode of delivery that is best for you, and the delivery fee. Your physician may be helpful in this regard, particularly if he/she is already familiar with it. In addition, considering its new status with the FDA clearance, it may now or at some time in the near future, be covered by some health insurance policies. However, be aware that the Press Release indicates that Poly-MVA's availability may soon change, as it states that the FDA has already started the ball rolling which may result in its reclassifying Poly-MVA as a drug available only by prescription.

As an additional note, which may or may not be related to the FDA's action, the website which provided three articles for which I had originally posted separate Links, has removed not only those articles, but also any and all mention of Poly-MVA and of Dr. Forsythe. Thus I have rewritten the Post to include the Link for Dr. Forsythe's website. It has most of the information which was in the three articles which have been deleted by the other website (with which Dr. Forsythe had no connection), and a great deal more.

In addition as the original Press Release which was available through the the first Link of this Post has since disappeared, I have substituted a different publication's Press Release concerning the same subject and with essentially the same information. However, as the original Press Release had an active Link with which you could obtain the mentioned free "cancer information packets" , but the newer press release does not, I have also included an active Link to obtain the packets.

As the website which provided the three articles about Poly-MVA and/or Dr. Forsythe's clinical studies, which I had posted as separate Links under Additional Reading at the end of my post about Poly-MVA, has since deleted the articles and any and all mention of Poly-MVA and Dr. Forsythe, I have deleted those Links and provided a new Link from Dr. Forsythe's website. It has most of the information which was contained in the previous articles and then some, about Poly-MVA and Dr. Forsythe's clinical studies. Therefore, I have also rewritten parts of the post to bring it up to date with the new Link.

As I noticed this date, 9/26/08, that the Press Release at the first active Link in my initial post about PolyMVA and low dose chemo is no longer available, I have just replaced it with a Press Release from a different organization about the same subject and with essentially the same information. In addition I have once again updated the Post to conform to the slightly different format/information of the new article. So for those who may have found that the Press Release was no longer available, please be advised that the information has since been restored, and an active Link to obtain the free "cancer information packets" mentioned in both the prior article as well as the current one has been added.

Please note that my initial post about the use of Poly-MVA with low dose chemotherapy has been edited this date to hopefully make it more user friendly.

Edited: 04/18/2009 at 03:29 AM by Beach Man

Please note that my initial post on this thread has been edited this date, 4/12/09, which resulted in loss/deactivation of all Links in the Post, thus requiring new Link information for disabled/lost Links to enable the Links to be accessed manually by the viewer. Use of the Edit function also removed all line spaces between paragraphs, thus jumbling paragraphs together and resulting in one long continuous paragraph, as now explained at the beginning of the POST. Talk about a NIGHTMARE !! GREAT SOFTWARE !!!

First, to the Moderator, Thankyou. To those of you who may be interested in reading the articles about the use of the nutritional substance, PolyMVA, and Low Dose Chemo to successfully treat cancer, including previously incurable/non-responsive cancers, as discussed in my initial post on this thread, but who may be deterred from doing so by the need to now manually enter the Link information due to the damaging effects of the new software's "Edit" function as now explained in my initial Post on this thread as well as in my last Post previous to this one ( and as discussed by both Bryan and the Moderator, Farrel, in the thread entitled, "Doing some testing....please disregard this thread" by Bryan), you can access two of the articles by scrolling down to the thread entitled, "Can Anyone Tell Me About Hemangiosarcoma My Dog Has Cancer In His Liver" (currently on page 5), and by clicking on the "Text" Links in my second Post on that thread. You may also want to click on the "Text" Links in my first Post on that thread about treating pets for cancer with PolyMVA. Both Posts are in their original unedited format with active Links intact and fully functional.

Please note that my original Post on this thread above has been extensively edited this date, July 13, 2010, and once again includes original paragraph spacing and active Links (some of which are new and replace Links which had been deactivated) which make it much easier to read and comprehend, and much more user friendly.

.....and bumped yet again, and again, and again. I keep going back to my original post in this thread, back in 2007.

Just look at the dates of my posts above guys! Regularly I come back to this thread of mine and resurrect it so y'all can see it again. Isn't that good of me?

Starseed, there is no evidence that this is a spam post so please stop posting these spam pictures in it.

Unless you have legitimate reasons to call this spam please cease from doing so.

-------------------------
Disclaimer - I am not a physician or an expert and my advice should not be considered medical/expert advice. - If you follow my opinions and/or advice you do so at your own risk.

My legitimate reasons are as follows:

* This is promoting a commercial product

* The Original thread had no activity on it, no replies, no discussion, yet the O/P repeatedly returns to the dead thread and resurrects it over a period of years at regular intervals.

* O/P never engages in opinion, or invites discussion, which is commonplace in these forums, but provides a welter of facts and links, as one would when promoting a product.


I will certainly refrain from further comment if that is your wish.

I think Starseed is right, it is a commercial product and this seems to be pure $PAM to me.
