I wanted to know has anyone heard or used Poly MVA?

I know someone who is currently on this treatment, and it has slowed the lung cancer movement in his lungs. But he is also on many other drugs.

Thank you,

I have never heard of this and sure will watch this post to learn what it is .

Most of the web sites selling this make unsubstanciated claims, and are anti-conventional cancer therapies. I wouldn't waste my time or money on this stuff. How you can say this stuff "slowed his lung cancer" when at the same time he is on other drugs is not a logical statement. How could anyone determine this junk was responsible or if it was the other things he was taking?

Now that answer makes sense to me.. Thank you Brian

Brain,

Yes he is on chemo, on some drug called Aniston, and he is also using Poly MVA, he is also taking B17, and a lot of other drugs that he is found through alternative doctors.

The thing is the chemo and the Aniston he was on was not slowing the lung cancer down, since he switch to all these things there has been an impact, now he nor his doctors know what is the "Exact" thing that has caused the cancer to slow down .. .. whether its junk or not, thats not for us to decide, something has got his lung cancer to slow down and i just want to know if anyone has some ideas

The person who is on chemo and aniston is also taking part in the following everyday,

Omega 3 pills
Grape seed extract
Vitamin B
B17 - banned in the US
Apricot - 25 seeds a day
hes also on some Chelation Therapy...

His doctors are not sure what has slowed the lung cancer, chemo and aniston were not having any effect and he didnt have much time, any information on the above would be great,

Thank you,

Maybe none of these extra things, perhaps just TIME for the chemo to have an impact. Several of the things on this list are clearly without any merit at all, the others have no peer reviewed benefit published in relationship to cancer. Go to quackwatch.com and do some reading. "Slowing" a cancer is a relative term... It's there, it isn't, it's bigger, it's smaller. It's the same size it was last week, month etc. These are all subjective measurements (except for is an isn't there). Bottom line unless someone has peer reviewed evidence of benefit, a substance or any of these biologicals, is a waste of a patient's money. Too many prey on those in dire straights without much hope at the end of their time here. Sites/people selling much of this are not only not helping, they are a testament to how low people will go to separate others from their money.

Sure, It's there, it's there, theres nothing you can do, I get it, but "Slowing" is better than nothing... specially for this guy who didnt have much time or hope

see for me, my moms gone, going and will continue going through chemo, but the cancer hasnt stopped, "slowed" or had an impact on the cancer that grows in her lungs .. for me any news of any kind is better than nothing

but obviously I plan to look into everything as much as possible, thanks for the heads up .. i know theres a lot of scams out there ... ..and even if all these drugs/meds/treatments are just buying time for this guy .. then maybe its not to bad .. ? ..

Thanks

But as Brian succinctly tried to point out they are probably not "buying him time" but simply stealing money from him. Cancer is a multibillion dollar a year industry and the snake oil salesmen are out there in full force stealing your money and giving you false hope.

See http://www.quackwatch.org/00AboutQuackwatch/altseek.html

Even the ACS has an article against it (POLYMVA): http://www.cancer.org/docroot/ETO/content/ETO_5_3X_Poly-MVA.asp?sitearea=ETO

Shameless bastards. They should all be thrown in jail. Congress and the FDA should be taken to task for not better protecting the public against charlatans like this. If you hear of persons or companies, particularly in herbal or alternative medicines making claims about anything, intended to "modify the structure in the human body" (i.e. act like a prescription drug) TURN THEM IN! http://www.fda.gov/cder/index.html

Turning them in is the right thing to do,, but just how many politicians will throw away the gifts of money and trips to stop them? It seems they thrive on being dishonest. Maybe not all, but most of them.

thanks for the input...
