 "Even though this debate continues, there are some transplant surgeons today who require root canal-filled teeth to be extracted before they will perform an organ transplant in a patient. This is because these surgeons believe there is a risk that focal infections in teeth might affect the new organ.
Josef Issels, M.D., of Germany, a world-famous cancer specialist, took the dangers of root-filled teeth very seriously. Dr. Issels was probably the first physician to require all of his cancer patients to have their dead teeth extracted as a part of his normal cancer treatment protocol."- Tanya Harter Pierce, Outsmart Your Cancer: Alternative Non-Toxic Treatments That Work (Get the book.) |
 "UT-POA: Based on the belief that cat's claw is an immunostimu-lant, the herb has been contraindicated for leukemia patients awaiting bone marrow or organ transplant and persons with iatri-cally-induced immunosuppression (e.g., organ transplants), autoimmune disease, multiple sclerosis, or tuberculosis. However, some researchers disagree with this view and suggest that cat's claw may be helpful for transplant patients."- Mark Blumenthal, The ABC Clinical Guide to Herbs (Get the book.) "UT-POA: Based on the belief that cat's claw is an immunostimulant, it is not advised for patients awaiting bone marrow or organ transplant, persons with medically-induced immunosuppression (e.g., patients with organ transplants), autoimmune disease, multiple sclerosis, or tuberculosis. HIV/AIDS patients should proceed with caution when introducing any new therapeutic agent. Cat's claw is not for use in children under 3 years. Pregnancy and Lactation: Not recommended due to lack of data." - Mark Blumenthal, The ABC Clinical Guide to Herbs (Get the book.) "Contraindications Cat's claw has been contraindicated for leukemia patients awaiting bone marrow transplant, any patient awaiting organ transplant, persons with iatrically-induced immunosuppression (e.g., organ transplants), autoimmune disease, multiple sclerosis, or tuberculosis (CAMR, 1999). These contraindications are based on the belief that cat's claw is an immunostimulant. However, some researchers disagree with this view (Miller, 2001b; Sandoval-Chacon etal, 1998; Sandoval etal, 2000, 2002) and suggest that cat's claw may be helpful for transplant patients (Miller, 2001a)." - Mark Blumenthal, The ABC Clinical Guide to Herbs (Get the book.) |
 "One does not just get an organ transplant and then live happily ever after. There are problems with rejection and problems with taking drugs that suppress the immune system. There are serious life-threatening problems with organ transplants. They do not last forever, either. You don't just get one transplant and keep it the rest of your life. When another transplant is needed, the patient must go through the whole rejection process and hospitalization again, at the cost of several thousands of dollars. Since the insurance pays for it, everyone who pays medical insurance premiums pays for it."- Cynthia A. Foster, M.D., Stop the Medicine! A Medical Doctor's Miraculous Recovery with Natural Healing (Get the book.) |
 "As an immune modulator it should be used with extreme care or avoided in organ transplant patients using immunosuppressive agents.
Reishi
The reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) is one of the most revered herbs in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine, with a documented history of over 2,000 years. Known as Ling Zhi in China, there are references to its use in that country as far back as 100 B.C. where it was referred to as the "Herb of Spiritual Potency" and the "Ten-Thousand-Year Mushroom."- Mark Stengler, The Health Benefits Of Medicinal Mushrooms (Get the book.) "As an immune modulator it should be used with extreme care or avoided in organ transplant patients using immunosuppressive agents. Maitake Maitake is one of the best studied mushroom extracts. Indigenous to Northern Japan, maitake has a long history as a valued mushroom, both as a food and as a medicine. Maitake is translated in Japanese as "dancing mushroom." Historical accounts explain the origin of the name, as people would dance with joy when they found maitake because it was so valuable and costly or because maitake is so delicious and healthful." - Mark Stengler, The Health Benefits Of Medicinal Mushrooms (Get the book.) "As an immune modulator it should be used with extreme care or avoided in organ transplant patients using immunosuppressive agents. Shiitake Shiitake (Lentinula Edodes) is regarded as a gourmet food in the West, while in Japan and China shiitake is known to be a valuable food and medicinal agent. Its name comes from the Japanese chestnut tree, shiia, and the Japanese word for mushroom, take. It is also referred to as the "fragrant mushroom" or the "forest mushroom." This mushroom is indigenous to Japan, China, and other areas of Asia." - Mark Stengler, The Health Benefits Of Medicinal Mushrooms (Get the book.) |
