Natasha, a number of nutritional supplements such as curcumin, omega 3 fish oil, selenium and garlic do seem to have general anticancer properties. I also think that a healthy diet and lifestyle are very important.
The big problem with this topic at the moment is a lack of foolproof evidence regarding what will improve the prognosis of melanoma patients. What works in theory may or may not work in practice, as melanoma is an especially devious cancer.
I also feel that a healthy immune system needs sufficient vitamin D. Levels of this vitamin can be checked with a simple blood test.
Hope this helps

Thanks for your reply , Frank! I trying to help myself as I can ,Because all tests takes too long time to make an oppiontment here in UK. I am not sure how does it work in Australia. I was told by my Dr it is largest and most famous melaoma institute in Sydney ,so I suppose it is much more help in where.

Natasha, the health system here is different from the UK and in very simple terms is a mixture of government and privately funded health care. However, I feel that the best melanoma treatments are generally available in the States at the moment.
Take care

It is so good to finally see people with an open mind, think outside the box, keep up with what is out there and most importantly being proactive for your own health. I posted before (http://www.melanoma.org/community/mpip-melanoma-patients-information-page/beating-melanoma-need-post-photos) and unfortunately other than a few responses who were concern for me (which I greatly appreciate) the others are not only negative but downright abusive. Since you are obviously openminded, you may wish to visit my post and check out the scientific references I posted.In the mean time I like to include the following including some special excerpts:Selenium – University of Michigan Health SystemThe strongest evidence supporting the anticancer effects of selenium supplementation comes from a double-blind trial of 1,312 Americans with a history of skin cancer who were treated with 200 mcg of yeast-based selenium per day or placebo for 4.5 years, then followed for an additional two years.27 Although no decrease in skin cancers occurred, a dramatic 50% reduction in overall cancer deaths and a 37% reduction in total cancer incidence were observed. A statistically significant 58% decrease in cancers of the colon and rectum was reported.Little is known about the effects of selenium in the treatment of people with existing cancer. Selenium supplementation was reported to improve immune function in colon cancer patients,28 but no long-term follow-up was done to evaluate whether these patients ultimately lived longer or fared better.There is one spice that can prevent as well as treat existing cancer and it is Curcumin. Please read:Targeting Inflammatory Pathways for Prevention and Therapy of Cancer: Short-Term Friend, Long-Term FoeExcerpt:Most carcinogens activate NF-kB and STAT3 pathways.Numerous agents identified from natural sources can block the NF-nB pathway, including curcumin, resveratrol, ursolic acid, capsaicin, silymarin, guggulsterone, and plumbagin (91 – 97). Several of these agents also suppress the STAT3 pathway (98 – 103), suggesting that they exhibit multiple targets. In addition to agents from natural products, synthetic and semisynthetic agents also inhibit the NF-nB or STAT3 pathway. For example, the semisynthetic compound flavopir- idol has been reported its activity on NF-nB and STAT3 suppression. Pharmacologically, these agents have been shown to be quite safe, and thus, they can be used not for just prevention but also therapy. In human clinical trials, curcumin has been shown to actually down-regulate both the NF-nB and STAT3 pathways (104). To our knowledge, curcumin is the only agent among all those tested in patients that has been shown to down-regulate both the NF-nB and STAT3 pathways (49, 51, 104). By this property, therefore, curcumin has been shown to have potential in the treatment of human pancreatic cancer (51), familial adenomatous polyposis (105), inflamma- tory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease; ref. 106), irritable bowel disease (107), and other proinflammatory diseases (108) in clinical trials.Conclusion Whether the objective is prevention or therapy of cancer, the targets are the same. The evidence described here clearly shows that inflammatory pathways are critical targets in both prevention and therapy of cancer. Therefore, identification of agents/drugs that can suppress these pathways has enormous potential. Most drugs fail because they are monotargeted, toxic, ineffective, and unaffordable by many. Because of cross-talk between the pathways, cancers are caused by dysregulation of multiple pathways. Thus, agents that can suppress NF-nB, STAT3, and other pathways (e.g., PI3K/AKT, HIF-1) are likely to be more effective drugs. Because of their safety and ability to affect multiple targets, natural products are likely to have a special place in the preventive and therapeutic armamentarium for cancer.AAPS J. 2009 Sep;11(3):495-510.

A Surprising Cause of Melanoma Dr. Mercola – January 29, 2012
This basically summarizes and vindicates my previous post that had received such criticism from the close-minded.Antimetastatic activity of curcuminOne vitamin that has attracted a lot of research and attention is Vitamin K, specifically K2. Check out:Drugs like Coumadin® that antagonize vitamin K do more than cause bone loss andarterial calcification. In a model of melanoma in mice, the oral administration ofanticoagulant drugs that antagonize vitamin K "drastically promoted metastasis." Thepromotion of metastasis was almost completely suppressed by the pre-administrationof vitamin K3, suggesting that these anticoagulant drugs promote metastasis byspecifically antagonizing vitamin K.This shows the cancer fighting power of Vitamin K but you do NOT want to take K3 which is toxic. Take K2 if available or MK-7. Check out http://products.mercola.com/vitamin-k/ You can scroll down and read instead of listening to the video.Since you are open to supplements you would already know about the importance of diet and life style. Allow me to emphasize these points:1. The dosage as recommended by the FDA is the "Minimum Daily Requirement", meaning that if you do not even have these levels you will get sick. However you are not aiming for just survival but for optimum health. Their benefits for cancer prevention or treatment it is dose dependent.2. Other than diet and life style is the importance of digestion. Without proper digestion you cannot get the nutrients and supplements into your body. Take digestive enzymes as needed.3. You do not want too much iron especially if you are in the "older" age group. I will be 71 by March but even younger (as in 50) or women already in menopause do not want too much iron either. Make sure you do not take your Vitamin C with food, especial meat and take it a couple times a day. Also always take your Omega 3 (preferrably Krill Oil if you are not allergic to shellfish) because it contains phospholipids with Vitamin E. Take your Vitamin K2 with Vitamin D3.The only other thing towards optimum health is alkaline water, specifically ionized water. Water ionizer machines is a big topic and I will leave it to yourselves to do your own research.Finally if any of you or someone you know has advance cancer and wish to check out other options (as in traditional plus natural treatments) with a proven tract record of long tern survival (as in 15 years) Check out this link and click through the various cancers he has treated and the survival periods. http://www.dr-gonzalez.com/index.htmDr. Gonzalez's treatment history – melanoma (Great long term survival)Mostly I wish you ALL good health.

Hi Dennis, I had a look at your profile. You state you are your own doctor and are treating something you consider to be a definite melanoma. But you have no pathology report (no histological diagnosis) to verify this. Is this really still the case?
I also read the thread you referenced, no offense Dennis, but it felt like an infomercial, are you going to reference it every time you post here?
And for the record, Nicholas Gonzalez has been mentiond here before.. for a failed trial I believe.

It should be noted that, Dr. Gonzalez specialty is for PANCREATIC cancer, not melanoma!
Too bad so many readers here have their blinders on when it comes to alt. treatments!

Best wishes! I couldn't find the reference on the site you sent me to. They had no search engine. As I looked over the material, I would put Fred right up there with Dr. Mercola for using too many words. As my PhD dtr says, "The plural of anecdotal is NOT data." I have given the cellect to my husband to research. Other sites on google include Sloan-Kettering and should be worth going to. Thanks.

Go to the Sloan Kettering web site and chek out their nutrition supplement section before adding too much to your diet. Some interact. Many are blood thinners (fish oil), it's important to know what you are taking. That web site will tell you if there is any evidence that the supplement actually works and how much is recommended.

I have 2 children who have PhD's in science; one of them is also a chiropractor. They are complete polar opposites on this topic. The PhD,DC wants us on a vegan diet, no sugar, whole grains and gives many supplements (circuman, tumeric); the other tells us that no scientific evidence exists to support any positive effects of diet or supplements on Melanoma. There you have it from 2 of the greatest scientists on earth (IMO). My favorite quote: "The food industry knows nothing about healthcare and the heathcare industry knows nothing about food."

There you have it from 2 of the greatest scientists on earth (IMO). My favorite quote: "The food industry knows nothing about healthcare and the heathcare industry knows nothing about food."

Hi Natasha,
Look up AHCC (Used extensively in Japan in mainstream hospitals). Also take a look at Quercetin (has similar properties as curcumin). I am beginning to drink green tea. I also take Life time Liquid calcium citrate, blueberry flavor. Apparently it's better absorbed in this form. 2-3 brazil nuts a day has the selenium we need. Read, "Beating Cancer with Nutrition" and "Challenge Cancer and Win".
Best of success and God Bless,
Jim M.

Of course Im not a doctor, but since finding out my brother is stage 4, I have spent many many many hours researching, emailing, and reading books about Cancer and alternative treatments to piggy back while going through treatments and life style eating habits to keep while NED.
This is what I have so far, that are beneficial.
PectaSol-C to slow down the cancer cells from growing.
Double Helix Water to repair the cells
Upping vitamin D levels to 10,000 iu/ day.
Completely cutting out ALL dairy, sugar, and breads.
Good luck

Make sure you tell your doctor every suppliment you are on…
i take vitamin D 3000 units a day
3000 mg fish oil
ALIVE women's multi vitamin daily …one of the best multis i have found…
cinimman, tumeric, garlic- used as spices in food
lots of limes
stay away from white flour, rice, bread and sugar, plastic and chemicals…
if i eat red meat, i make sure it's organic…
exercise and meditate every day
i don't know if it is doing any good, but anything to bolster immune system just makes sense….especially when we deal with toxities from treatment and scans…
