You can also try adding Vitamin C, Essiac Tea, and use a low carb, high
protein and mod to high fat diet. The diet is good for both the lymphoma
and the insulinoma. If you have to make it yourself. It has been said that
lymphoma thrives on carbs and reducing them may help to starve the cancer.
It doesn't work for all but it certainly can't hurt. Essiac is great for
all kinds of cancers and I have had good reults with it. Hope this helps
and good luck to you.
