HighHope,
Got the info from the Doctor. First and foremost he cannot believe your Mother doesn't have a stomach feeding tube! This is in lure of a feed tube down the throat & esophagus. Also you can put anything in the feed tube (stomach). Water, any type of foods (pureed), pretty much anything she needs for nutrition to build her strength back up. The mucus in your Mother's throat is from dehydration. He stated as I mentioned about slow sips to break up the mucus in her throat. Also, once that is broke up she can get all of her hydration as well as food through the stomach feed tube. I ask why they didn't mention that and he simply stated because the Dr.s have written her off. He also stated the stomach feed tube should be requested for 'quality of life'. The Dr. made it a point; it is important to add a digestive enzyme, preferable powder called Absorbaid (comes with instructions) . Get that going and you can start nursing her strength back. Also make sure you 'skype' Mo and I for special dosing instructions also. You cannot go charging in with the oil, it has to be baby steps while she builds up her immune system. If we don't follow a strict protocol she will get nausea and throw up and that is the worst thing for her location of tumors. For nausea use Bileox (way the Dr. spelled it). To clarify, this is different than a drip system, its a feed tube that just bypasses the throat, esophagus, goes directly into the stomach. The Dr. didn't specify what foods are best so I would 'google' 'what foods are best to build up a weak body. The Dr. agreed the most important thing right now is to build up your Mother's strength as a priority. Again check with me on the dosing regimen. Certainly will help bypassing the throat and relieve a lot of pain. Hope this helps.
@ Cannafan; good info on the nutrition! On the drip method we watched two people within two weeks of each other (one stomach removed and one esophagus/partial removed and they both passed basically from starvation). I still cannot believe they didn't give HighHopes Mother some options. It appalled the Dr. as he is from HighHopes country. This is one compassionate Dr., we love this man. Not saying others are not, they are, but western medicine/pharma's has them on lockdown. The word is getting out though.
