Q & A Library
This is the question and answer archive for select questions on health, disease and integrated medicine. Dr. Isaac Eliaz previously published these Q&A in his electronic research and news update publication: With the Seasons Health News.
Questions I've been taking medicinal mushrooms (MycoPhyto) for the last year and have been very pleased that for the first time in years I have not gotten a cold or flu. However, I've heard that overstimulating the immune system may be counter productive in terms of the Avian flu. What is your opinion about ongoing use of mushrooms? I have just been informed that I have "High grade bladder Cancer". Would PectaSol have any effect on this cancer? What can you do and take to lower your c-reactive protein numbers? This is a hot and popular topic, please answer. Why do you suggest taking MCP on an empty stomach--does it interfere with or bind to other nutrients? I was diagosed with breast cancer and had a mastectomy in 1987 at age 36. I am now menopausal and need to know if it is probably safe for me to take black cohosh. I have asked several doctors this question - none of them have any information on this. Thanks for any help you can give! What is the difference beween brands of modified citrus pectin? I was reading in Woman's World that stinging nettle can help with artritis pain. My questions are: How does it work? Is nettle tea and nettle capsule the same as stinging nettle? Can you give me more info on arthritis remedies? I've heard about a recent study done by Dr. Ornish that used diet and lifestyle changes to reduce PSA in men with prostate cancer. Are you familiar with the study? Is treating prostate cancer as simple as this? My doctor has advised me to not take grapefruit juice because it will interfere with my prescription medication. Can I still use modified citrus pectin? What is Padma Basic and how is it made? How do soy isoflavones affect the estrogen profile of menopausal Women? What is the difference between Citrus Pectin and "Modfied" Citrus Pectin, and does MCP have any side effects? What is the difference between hormonal modulation and hormonal treatment? What is Padma Basic recommended for? I was diagnosed with Hepatitis C and have heard that mushrooms are excellent for boosting the immune system. Would a mushroom product be safe for individuals with liver disease? What other products might offer immune support? If I am on combined hormonal therapy (CHT) or post radiation therapy can I use Padma Basic? What do you mean when you say, "mushrooms work on the past, present and future." Have you heard about PADMA Basic? I don’t recognize a lot of the ingredients in the formula. Is it really all it claims to be? How would a person know? Why are different dosages of Modified Citrus Pectin recommended for prevention, for individuals with localized controlled cancer and for individuals with more extensive or aggressive cancer? Can you tell me more about how mushrooms help the immune system? I am a relatively healthy person concerned about maintaining a strong immune system with the new threat of bio-terrorism. Would a mushroom preparation be a good choice and what dose would you recommend? You often recommend MycoCeutics® 10 Mushrooms Formula™ and MycoPhyto® Complex. How can I decide which product is for me? I read the January research update article on the potential use of Irimidex as a follow up for Tamoxifen in Women with breast cancer. What is the importance of estrogen modulation in breast cancer and can it play a role in other conditions?
