			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #07606f;"><strong>Question: From Olivier</strong></span></p>
<p>My mother has pancreatic cancer. I have found a product that is a mix of minerals that I believe can heal my mother (at least 2 people with pancreatic cancer healed with it).<br />
It is at:  http://www.healthhouse.co.nz/CAA%20capsule%20ingredients.html</p>
<p>Now, I dont want to debate that part. I believe it can heal. That&#8217;s it. That&#8217;s not my issue.</p>
<p>The problem is, they have refined the product (capsule) over the years, and sadly, they have added vitamins. And synthetic vitamins (anything beside real food) have been proven to accelerate pancreatic cancer/tumors.</p>
<p>So my dilemma is I would like to have that supplement, but without all the vitamins. Just the minerals, which they list with the exact quantity &#8211; in a sort of custom pill, or at least a pill/source of each and have my mother take those together, for the same effect &#8211; just without the fr&#8211;ing &#8216;killing&#8217; vitamins.<br />
And I would want those minerals to be the chelated as natural as possible.</p>
<p>Can you please please tell me if its possible and sources where to get individual ingredients, or have them put together?</p>
<p>Please help me. My mother is all I have.</p>
<p>Thanks so much, for whatever honest answers you will give me.</p>
<p>Best regards<br />
Olivier</p>

<p><span style="color: #07606f;"><strong>Response From Brett: </strong></span></p>
<p><span id="more-79"></span><br />
Hello Olivier</p>
<p>Im very sorry to hear about your mum&#8217;s cancer and also for the long delay in replying to your question. Because of the nature of this question I wanted to run my answer by a highly qualified clinical nutritionist friend of mine in the UK before replying to you (but she is extremely busy so I have only just heard back from her).</p>
<p>Olivier, you asked for my &#8220;honest answers&#8221; so let me begin by saying that  I very much doubt that the CAA mix of minerals that you are talking about will heal your Mum. Since, however, you do believe that it can and you have heard of successful cases,  I recommend you go and see a qualified Naturopath who maybe able to give you the individual ingredients  (in a chelated form for increased bioavailability) if he/she can source them directly from a supplement wholesaler (having them chelated will push the price right up!)</p>
<p>Certainly your mother needs hands-on help, as there is alot of investigation and hands-on examination that really needs to be done in these kinds of cases.</p>
<p>Again, I want to give you my honest opinion and say that the CAA supplement mix you are asking about (even with the vitamins taken away) is an ordinary and quite basic supplement. It is nothing special for pancreatic cancer or pancreatitis.</p>
<p>If  your concern is the nature of the (synthetic) vitamins in that nutritional supplement, I would suggest perhaps forgetting that CAA ingredient mix  and instead take a look at <a href="http://xl.xtend-life.com/product/Total_Balance_Women%27s_Premium/Introduction.aspx " target="_blank">Total Balance </a><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong> Women&#8217;s Premium version </strong></span> &#8211; a specialty multi nutrient health supplement .</p>
<p><em><strong>This is the supplement I use and from the hundreds of supplement reviews I&#8217;ve done it is by far the best health supplement available both in terms of efficacy and value for money.</strong></em></p>
<p>I am not recommending Total Balance to you just because it is what I use or to make commission but rather because I have the considerable experience to know that it is the best recommendation I can possibly make for you mum. Total Balance contains all ingredients in the CAA supplement, but at better doses, and is combined with many other speciality nutrients (over 90 ingredients all up) , and <strong>all these are all totally natural, nothing synthetic, </strong> (This appears to be your main concern, right?)</p>
<p>I would suggest the  <a href="http://xl.xtend-life.com/product/Omega_3_~_DHA_Esters.aspx" target="_blank"> Omega 3 / DHA </a> supplement from the same company (xtend-life). It is an extremely superior Omega 3 esterfied oil  (see the &#8216;Omega  3 Buyers Guide&#8217; pdf file which I have attached above to understand why it is superior). I recommend a high daily dose of at least  4  of the Omega 3/ DHA capsules  to help with your mum&#8217;s overall health ( in the same way that the CAA supplement would do).</p>
<p>Moreover, you could also give your mum  <a href="http://xl.xtend-life.com/product/Viral-Protec.aspx " target="_blank">Viral-Protec</a> to help further stimulate her immune system to try to fight infection. This may be additionally helpful.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">If your mum is on any medications I would need to know what these are in order to confirm the dosage and safety of all of the above supplement recommendations. This is very important.</span></p>
<p>If you like, you  can also give her additional herbal extracts to try to help cleanse the pancreas, such as <strong>cedar berries and echinacea, gentian root, for example. Dandelion root is also helpful to stimulate bile production and improve the health of the pancreas overall.</strong></p>
<p>Proper diet and increased pure fluids, are all essential to this condition as I&#8217;m sure you are aware.</p>
<p>Hopefully this overall <em>general health approach</em> may bring your mum some improvement. Obviously I cannot guarantee that it will solve the actual cancer problem itself. I&#8217;m sure you know by now that once taken hold, pancreatic cancer is extremely tough to deal with.</p>
<p>Lastly, I&#8217;d like to tell you that there is no scientific comment or evidence that I know of that states that vitamins (or minerals), synthetic or otherwise, induce or accelerate pancreatic cancer/tumors,  or indeed other types of cancer.</p>
<p>I believe your are referring to specifically <span style="color: #ff0000;">synthetic chemical versions of ingredients</span>, and not the natural type which are used in Total Balance and Viral Protec. I think that is perhaps where confusion lays. </p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Truly synthetic vitamins are definitely not good for the system, and although I know of no specific evidence that relates to pancreatic cancer, it is certainly possible that they could be more detrimental than helpful to health.</strong></p>
<p>I hope this helps Olivier.</p>
<p>All the best to you and your mum</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
