Thank you so much for your response. Just to clarify my father has not, not opted to have chemo , this apparantly is not the right treatment for his prostate cancer that has spread and initially he was not offered any radiation however they have now offered him a dose of radiation as the pain caused from the bone metastis is bad. Are there any other foods apart from apricot seeds he should eat? I have now ordered a copy of the Little cyanide cookbook. At present my father is unsure of what to do for the best. Are the B17 tablets safe? Are apricot seeds safe? I have done a lot of reading and feel that whilst people are saying these are not safe they are quite happy to accept that Chemotherapy is safe!!!!! It dosen't make sense to me as whilst I accept that chemotherapy can and does work in a lot of cases, it is also very toxic and I know of people that have died as a result of so much chemo causing their immune systems to practically shut down that they are no longer able to fight infections. All I want is to help my father before it is too late. His prognosis at the moment is "who knows", the Doctors have said it could be a year or very best case up to 10 years possibly. How is that helpful to us as a family. I feel let down at the moment and my Dad just wants to and has to at the moment beleive that the Doctors are doing everything that they can. Sometimes however medication is not always the right answer and I feel we have to look at anything that we can do. My father has started incorporating foods into his diet but is a bit uneasy at the thought of taking tablets not prescribed by a Doctor this is why I thought of the dietary element. If he can eat food to try and help he will and as he has said there will come a point where he will try anything but this has happened all so fast hes unsure at the moment which is the way forward.

 

I do appreciate your response and I'm sorry if I have rambled. I just feel helpless and all I want to do is help. or if I am honest all I want to do is cure him. I am not a medical person so this is not an option.

 

Many Thanks for your time
