Meso Patient Dr. Bret Williams' Outline of Alternative Medicines
 

Should you be interested in the alternative stuff I suggest you search the archives for anti-angiogenesis agents.  Some are available only by prescription but have little or no risk, so your family doc should be willing to help.  A few that I continue to take include lovastatin, celecoxib (yes, there are some worries about increased risk of heart attack, but that's small potatoes to us), doxycycline, and the supplements curcumin, resveratrol, genistein, inositol, green tea extract, selenium, and quercetin.  Dee compiled a nice list of explanatory sites if you have interest (click here.)

Clearly there are a number of approaches, and it seems unlikely to me that any one is best for all.  That said, there is good data for Alimta + cisplatin, probably the current standard.  

A number of wilder things have been tried, and you will run into some bizarre stuff if you search the web.  Personally, I think you should run anything well outside the mainstream past this group; you will get some informed opinions, and the final say is still yours.  Too Much Information is not usually our problem.

Best to all,

Bret
