Cancer Quick Facts

 When I talked to The Amish Doctor a             few years ago he told me through his own experiences. Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez before       his untimely death had all the straight talk & answers about cancer & chemotherapy       and also  dismantling the Ketogenic diet  you would ever want to hear in many of his interviews where he calls soy poison.  ~kg.

Weeks before his unexpected death in July 2015, Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez met with ElectromagneticHealth.org’s founder, Camilla Rees, to discuss his concern about the proliferation of wireless technologies in our midst,   their link to illnesses, including cancer. We are pleased to be able to share these great words of wisdom in a video.

To learn more about the biological and health effects of electromagnetic fields from cell phones,  wireless devices,  neighborhood RF-emitting infrastructure, smart meters, and even potentially from your neighbors wireless devices, go to ElectromagneticHealth.org, Campaign for Radiation Free Schools (Facebook) or the International EMF Alliance.

Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez, a prominent alternative cancer doctor, died July 21, 2015 of an apparent heart attack at his home in New York City. Dr. Gonzalez was probably the world’s foremost expert on cancer,  often recommended  by other alternative doctors as the “go-to doctor”  with the best results for supposedly  “terminal”  cancers such as pancreatic cancer. He loved helping people with cancer.  He loved sharing his knowledge  about how to treat cancer; and he loved talking about God and discussing Biblical topics as – well – as politics and current affairs. https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/cam/hp/gonzalez-pdq

Dr. Nick graduated from Brown University, Phi Beta Kappa, magna cum laude with a degree in English Literature. He subsequently worked as a journalist at Time Inc. before pursuing premedical studies at Columbia University, and then later receiving his medical degree from Cornell University Medical College in 1983.

During a postgraduate immunology fellowship under Dr. Robert A. Good, considered       by many to be the father of modern immunology,  Dr. Nick completed a research study evaluating an aggressive nutritional therapy in the treatment of advanced cancer. Prior     to his unexpected death on July 21, 2015,  Dr. Gonzalez meticulously  documented the scientific theory of his work and proved its effectiveness.

We all know that without Dr. Gonzalez  himself here to drive his work forward,  that his groundbreaking protocols were in danger of fading into oblivion like the brilliant work of his mentors Dr. William Donald Kelley  and Dr. John Beard.  He published several books and recorded hundreds  of  hours of interviews and lectures.  He wrote more than 120 in-depth patient cancer case studies, the result of a lifetime of research and groundbreaking patient care. Case studies that would publicly legitimize a whole new approach to nothing less than curing cancer. All kinds of cancer.

Gonzalez’s influence across the alternative medicine world can’t be overstated.                  He was cherished by millions, and was prominently featured in countless books, documentary summits, interviews and articles. He collaborated extensively with      Suzanne Somers, the author of the widely acclaimed, lifesaving book, “Knockout: Interviews with Doctors Who Are Curing Cancer — And How to Prevent Getting                  It in the First Place.”   (The book is a lifesaver for those considering conventional       cancer treatments.)

See the complete collection of Dr. Gonzalez’s interviews with Robert Scott Bell at            this link. These radio interviews span four years and cover an exhaustive array of        topics on cancer prevention and advanced cancer treatments.

Dr. Gonzalez is  the author of What Went Wrong: The Truth Behind the Clinical Trial of the Enzyme Treatment of Cancer, where he blew the whistle on a concerted effort by the cancer industry to destroy evidence of a readily available, and low-cost  cancer treatment protocol that could have saved thousands of lives a year.

“Dr. Gonzalez leaves a legacy of faith, healing,  and genuine love for people and the    pursuit of medicine. We are heartbroken at this loss, but determined to keep his work    and his memory alive,” says his official website.

Dr. Gonzalez and his colleague Dr. Linda Isaacs M.D. have had remarkable success   treating cancer patients with a non-toxic nutritional protocol that incorporates some of  the principles of the late Dr. Max Gerson M.D. and the late Dr. William Donald Kelley’s protocol  which  includes  high doses  of  pancreatic enzymes  and  individualized diets depending on body type and cancer type. I have huge respect for them, not because of their theories, but because they are getting RESULTS, including reversing “incurable” stage four cancers. Two volumes documenting 112 of their successful case studies can       be found here.
Dr. Gonzalez wrote  an eight part article series for Natural Health 365  on the history       and failure of the ketogenic diet for cancer.  Dr. Gonzalez’s  nutritional cancer treatment expertise is much deeper than anyone currently promoting the ketogenic diet for cancer, because unlike anyone else promoting it, he actually treats cancer patients with nutrition every day.
There are thousands of people out there who have healed cancer naturally.

Gonzalez’s Three-Pronged Approach to Cancer Treatment
Although most of the studies done on this approach were done on pancreatic cancer,      Dr. Gonzalez uses it to treat ALL cancers, from brain cancer to leukemia. His treatment, which is based on Kelley’s work, consists of 3 protocols: diet, supplements and enzymes, and detoxification.

The Dietary Protocol:
The cornerstone of the treatment is a personalized diet based on your nutritional or metabolic type (which happens to be a key component of my own optimized nutrition plan).
Dr. Kelley originally had Ten basic diets  and ninety variations that ranged from pure    vegetarian and raw food, to heavy-protein meals that included red meat three times a day.
“In terms of diet,  Kelley also found that patients diagnosed with the typical solid tumors: tumors of the breast, lungs, stomach, pancreas, liver, colon, uterus, ovaries, and prostate needed a more vegetarian diet,” Dr. Gonzalez explains. “But he had all the gradations of a vegetarian diet; one that was 80 percent raw, one that was 80 percent cooked. So even on the vegetarian side, there were all different variations.
Some had minimal animal protein, some had fish, some had also red meat.
A patient with immune cancer (leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, and sarcomas, (which are connective tissue cancers that are related to immune cancers) tended to do best on a high-fat, high meat diet.
… Then there are balanced people that do well with a variety of foods, both plant foods  and animal products, but they don’t tend to get cancer.
Cancer tends to occur on the extremes,  the extreme vegetarians-those that tend to be      too acid-or extreme meat eaters, who tend to be too alkaline. Balanced people don’t tend  to get cancer too much. So we continued the individualized approach, as did Kelley.”

Individualized Supplementation and Enzyme Protocol:
The second component is an individualized supplement protocol, designed for your  particular metabolism. “For example,  our vegetarian patients need completely different supplements from our meat eaters. Vegetarians do very well with most of the B vitamins, while the meat eaters don’t.  The vegetarians don’t do well with vitamin A,  but the meat eaters do. The vegetarians do well with vitamin D; the meat eaters not so well with large doses, and so on,” Dr. Gonzalez explains.
“The meat eaters do well with calcium ascorbate as a vitamin C source, while the vegetarians do well with large doses of ascorbic acid. So the supplement protocols are    very individualized and very precisely engineered.”
Omega-3 fats are also prescribed, but even here Dr. Gonzalez prescribes different types    of omega-3s depending on the patient’s nutritional type.  In his experience, vegetarians,    or carbohydrate types,  tend to fare better on flaxseed oil,  which contains alpha linoleic acid (ALA) – a plant-based omega-3.
“It is thought that the conversion of the plant-based ALA into the fish-oil based Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is not that efficient,”          he says,  “But we find that our vegetarian patients actually do it very well and don’t           use the fish oil or animal-based omega-3 fatty acids as effectively.”
Chia and hemp seed oils can also be used.
Protein types, on the other hand, appear to need the EPA and the DHA and do better       on animal-based omega-3 such as krill oil.
“They don’t do well with flaxseed,” he says. “Those are the people who can’t make the conversion.”
In addition to vitamins, minerals and trace elements, he also prescribes large doses           of pancreatic enzymes.
“The essence of Kelley’s work was based on the work of Dr. Beard, which goes back to      the turn of the last century, about 110 years ago. Beard was a professor at the University    of Edinburg, an embryologist actually, not a medical researcher, who first proposed that pancreatic proteolytic enzymes are the main defense against cancer in the body and are useful as a cancer treatment,” he explains.

When treating cancer, however, he found it’s important to take the right ratio of active   and inactive enzymes. The inactive precursors are particularly active against cancer.    They also have far longer shelf life, and are more stable.
“That would be my advice – get an enzyme that isn’t completely activated,” Dr. Gonzalez says. “More active isn’t better when it comes to pancreatic enzymes, just like more and more D isn’t better than getting the right dosage. You want the right proportions of activated and inactive-most of it as an inactive precursor.”
His proprietary enzyme formula is manufactured by NutriCology. According to                  Dr. Gonzalez, pancreatic enzymes are not only useful as treatment for active cancer         but are also one of the best preventive measures. Antioxidants, such as astaxanthin,         are also very helpful, both in the prevention and treatment of cancer.

The Detoxification Protocol:
The 3rd component is a detoxification routine. Coffee enemas are used to help your       liver and kidneys to mobilize and eliminate dead cancer cells that have been broken    down by the pancreatic enzymes.
Coffee enemas, although often scoffed at today, were actually used as part of conventional medicine all the way up to the 1960s,  and were included in the Merck Manual,  which was a handbook for conventional medical treatments into the 1970s.
“They fell out of favor not because they didn’t work, but because the drug industry took over medicine, so things like coffee enemas were kind of laughed at,” Dr. Gonzalez says. “So Kelley learned about coffee enemas from conventional literature and incorporated them into his program and found them extremely helpful.”
When you drink coffee, it tends to suppress your liver function, but when taken rectally    as an enema, the caffeine stimulates nerves in your lower bowels, which causes your liver to release toxins as a reflex. Other detox strategies include colon cleanses and liver flushes developed by Kelley.
It’s important to realize, however, that conventional coffee should NOT be used for enemas. The coffee MUST be organic, naturally caffeinated coffee, and were you to           do this at home,  you’d want to use non-bleached filters to avoid introducing toxins        into your colon.
“[Organic coffee] is loaded with antioxidants,” Dr. Gonzalez says. “In fact, there are    recent studies showing that coffee loaded with antioxidants can have an anti-cancer     effect and that coffee may actually help suppress cancer.
But you have to use organic coffee, it has to have caffeine, and you have to use a           coffee maker that doesn’t have aluminum, and preferably no plastic.”

Dr. Gonzalez also relies on sodium alginate as a detoxifying agent.
“We have a preparation that we put together and it’s very effective… It’s an algae             and it chelates heavy metals and halides. I never use intravenous chelation; we just          use sodium alginate.”
He recommends taking three capsules three times a day, away from meals, for six        weeks to detoxify your body of heavy metals, such as mercury, and halides.
Final Thoughts
This is one of the most fascinating interviews I’ve ever done, and it is chock full of information-far more than I can summarize here. So please, I urge you to take the          time to listen to the interview in its entirety.
In addition to expounding on the subjects mentioned above, Dr. Gonzalez reviews             the benefits of optimizing vitamin D during cancer treatment, and how iodine supplementation can benefit breast cancer-not to mention help protect against thyroid cancer, in light of the current nuclear crisis in Japan.
We discuss the benefits of juicing and chiropractic adjustments, and the importance           of regular exercise for cancer patients.  We also review the dangers of electromagnetic   field (EMF) exposure, in terms of how it may aggravate cancer growth & hinder cancer recovery, and the benefits, along with some surprising precautions, of Earthing or grounding.
For more information about Dr. Gonzalez and his practice, see www.dr-gonzalez.com.   He’s also working on a series of books, two of which have already been published and received five-star reviews: The Trophoblast and the Origins of Cancer, and One Man Alone: An Investigation of Nutrition, Cancer, and William Donald Kelley,   which is         the original monograph  of Dr. Kelley’s work   he couldn’t get published 23 years ago.
This written summary is only a small glimpse  of the insights that were shared in our interview. If you or anyone you know struggles with cancer. . . . I would also strongly encourage  you to listen to the entire interview!!!

I believe there is many great Alternative Treatments out there if you believe in them with all your heart. And the information I display within this blog post are the options…. that I gravitate within my heart if I had cancer!!! It’s important to test to see if supplements are working within your body’s chemistry makeup 🙂

Feeling empowered can make a huge difference in fighting this battle. Many people, Rich people, who could buy anything in this world have not been able to save their loved ones from this beast we call Cancer.  It’s always important to get your cancer graded and typed with regard to how aggressive it may be. Brett Hudson stating that what he did may have been Farrah Fawett best option before she went the conventional route?

Paul McCartney – couldn’t save Linda from breast cancer, nor could Jackie Kennedy Onassis  save  herself  from Lymphoma  and  Farah Fawcett gave an interview  also some footage of the films made of — Farrah in Germany — taking painful treatments.  They did    not help.  In the past,  Barbara Walters interviewed Patrick Swayze and his wife about his Pancreatic cancer. During that interview Patrick said, (perhaps not in his exact words) “if anyone tells you they have a cure for cancer. . .don’t believe it,  because  if  they  did, they would be RICH and Famous.”

Some get lucky and the cancer is found early. Some are not as lucky, perhaps ignore warning signs. Sometimes you catch bronchitis and it doesn’t go away too quickly, you have a Personal Care Physician that sends you for an x-ray. Then, you get  the shock of your life!!  With  cancer  being, “The Great Deceiver”  it’s a crap shoot.  Sure,  there are things you can do to help yourself.  Don’t Smoke,  don’t be around second hand smoke     or chemicals if you can help it.  If you have to paint – or – use a mask around chemicals.    They make them. Exercise, eat a balanced diet and stay away from food preservative       that will kill you.

They say a positive attitude helps to fight cancer. I believe that — There are MANY people that have positive attitudes and have come a heck of a lot farther. . .than their doctors ever dreamed they would. We all have to follow our own path and if you think and feel a certain treatment is for you, then go for it. I gravitate toward the Budwig & Carl O. Helvie Protocol with Bill Henderson Supplements involved. The Budwig Protocol will not be very effective if a person continues to eat a diet with a lot of saturated fats (meats), hydrogenated oils, processed foods, etc. It is a small cog in the wheel of nutrition.

The Budwig Protocol will not be very effective if a person continues to eat a diet with a     lot of saturated fats (meats), hydrogenated oils, processed foods, etc. It is a small cog in the wheel of nutrition.  Hydrogenated oils  are very bad for you per Dr. Budwig.  Also for example, regular peanut butter is loaded with them. These chemically altered oils clog up your cellular and lymphatic systems. The cottage cheese/flaxseed oil helps to unclog these systems but if you keep putting these products back in there is only so much the protocol can do. When you start reading labels: hydrogenated oils are in most big selling items.

Surprisingly, these type of products are becoming increasingly available at regular supermarkets and the organic and natural products can be quite pricey. One more        thing to add.  I believe in the benefits of the Budwig Protocol. 

I read all the testimonials and bought Dr. Budwig’s books.

She actually took dying people from hospitals and basically brought them back to life  using her protocol. The Budwig Diet protocol harnesses the unique properties of highly unsaturated fatty acids and sulfurated amino acids. . . . to allow the cancer cells to start “breathing” again. The Budwig Diet’s focus. . . on increasing the body’s absorption and utilization of oxygen aligns well with the High pH Therapy cesium chloride protocol.

Mushroom extract, AHCC, helpful in treating HPV!!!

AHCC® – Kinoko Gold

I think the Budwig protocol and taking AHCC to boost your immune system is a big step  to feeling better with the blood type diet…as a key to some.  Some foods act as medicines and when you incorporate them into your diet you heal. I found a website that shows the Budwig diet & full plan on videos. You can watch the flax oil – cottage cheese recipe being made as well as recipes  for the rest of the diet.  There’s one on the importance of getting sunlight & one on relaxation techniques.

In 1978, Richard A. Bloch (the “R” in H&R Block) was diagnosed with stage 4 lung     cancer and told that he had 3 months to live. Instead of accepting a death sentence,           he fought back. He found an oncologist who treated him aggressively and two years      later, Bloch was declared cancer free. He devoted the rest of his life (until his death            as a result of heart failure in 2004) to helping people fight—and beat—cancer. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2794629/

Luckily he sought a second opinion and, after two years of arduous treatment, he was completely cured.  This book was written for and dedicated to the people with cancer who want to do everything in their power to help themselves and their doctor so they will have the best chance of beating their disease.  This book is a product of Dick & Annette Bloch’s own experience with cancer.

The overriding message was that cancer patients must utilize all available information       to seek out the best possible care  and do everything they can to maximize their chances   for therapeutic success is a vital one.  This is a strong personal statement  about striving   for life. It should motivate many cancer patients to obtain state-of-the-art treatment and to play an active part in increasing their own chances  being among the growing number  of survivors.

If what I write offends please accept my apologies. Nutrition is very important as is a positive attitude. Richard Bloch who received a terminal lung cancer diagnosis lived 23 years after being diagnosed and he gave most of the credit to having a positive attitude.

Johanna Budwig (30 September 1908 – 19 May 2003) was a German biochemist and author Dr. Budwig was a pharmacist & held a doctorate degrees in physics and chemistry. [1] Based on her research on fatty acids . . . Supposedly as a biochemist. . .she treated over 2500 cancer patients  with a 90% cure rate.  The basis of the diet is modifying dietary fats.[1] It is rich in flaxseed oil, mixed with German Quark meals high in fruits, vegetables, and fiber and avoids sugar, animal fats, salad oil, meats, butter, especially margarine.

Budwig also claimed that within three months, some patients on this diet had smaller    tumors, some had no tumors left, and all felt better over with her treatment of cancer & purported anti-cancer diet, However, there is no reliable evidence supporting Budwig’s claims, and no scientific evidence that the Budwig diet helps people with cancer. There      is no indication for using anti cancer diets and they can cause adverse effects.

People with cancer who delay or forgo effective treatments as a result of using diets       such as the Budwig Diet might suffer relapse, may experience unnecessary disease progression, and experience continuing cancer-related symptoms.

While working as a researcher at the German Federal Health Office she noted many  cancer drugs being evaluated in the 1950s contained sulphydryl groups. Budwig also believed sulphydryl compounds – were important to cellular metabolism and cellular respiration. Budwig researched the theory that also a low oxygen environment would develop in the absence of sulphydryl groups and/or fatty acid partners that would encourage the proliferation of cancerous cells.

With assistance from H.P. Kaufmann, Dr. Budwig developed paper chromatography techniques to identify and quantify fatty acids. Johanna used. . . these techniques to   compare the fatty acid profiles of sick and healthy individuals. This made her one of        the first scientists to consider the health implications of fat consumption, according          to Mannion et al. in a 2010 paper in the Nutrients (journal).

I just wanted to share what I seen on the Budwig videos. It also has a lot of recent testimonials from people who belong to their forum. If what your doing seems right          for you stay on the right track.

I started the diet with my friend who has breast cancer. The videos helped a lot. In the  first week, my vascular headaches stopped.  I usually get them almost daily,  but I’m on     my 15th day of the diet & I haven’t had a headache for a week which hasn’t happened in years. My friend feels more energy than she had before. Hopefully she will respond really well to this because she quit chemo after only a few treatments. She couldn’t tolerate it.      It was making her too sick. Anyway, here’s the website if anyone is interested.

Breast Cancer Effectively Treated with Budwig Protocol Lloyd Jenkins*1 1 Naturopath, Budwig Cancer Clinic in Malaga, Spain. At Utopia Wellness, I tell patients that cancer is    a multifactorial chronic illness, which includes a lack of cellular oxygenation that results    in excessive intracellular acidity, a compromised immune system, systemic toxicity from poorly functioning detoxifying organs (liver, colon, kidneys), emotional issues and poor nutritional sources, especially once cancer has taken hold.

We are not winning the war on cancer. In fact, every day about 1,630 people die from cancer and as of March 2017,  there are more than 3.1 million women with a history of breast cancer in the U.S. alone. Not everyone is losing the war on cancer however. The Budwig protocol has proven to be one of the best therapies,  not only, for breast cancer       but all types of cancer for more than 70 years Here are 7 ways that the Budwig diet and program can help prevent cancer and effectively restore health – for those who are on a cancer healing journey. https://budwig-videos.com/budwig-diet-protocol-lifestyle-plan-in-detail/

Seven Ways the Budwig Diet Helps with Breast Cancer:  Flaxseeds balance hormones        Dr. Budwig added freshly ground flaxseeds to her famous mixture often called ‘muesli’.     In Cancer Letters by Dabrosin study done in November 2002 found that: “The women who eat the most flax lowered their risk of getting breast cancer by 62% compared to women who do not eat it [1].” Figure 1.

In the November 2004 issue of Clinical Cancer Research, a study was done combining flaxseed with tamoxifen alone. The study reported: “They used mice with human breast cancer tumors with and without supplemental estrogen. At low estrogen levels, predictive of a woman in menopause, tumors in the flaxseed fed mice shrunk 74% [1]. The tamoxifen produced an effect similar to the flaxseed shrinking the tumors initially,  however,  by the end of the experiment, those using only tamoxifen had tumors return to their initial size. Combining tamoxifen and flaxseed shrunk the tumor half again as much as tamoxifen alone did. In the mice kept at high estrogen levels, modeling a premenopausal breast cancer patient, the flaxseed alone inhibited tumor growth by 22%. The tamoxifen alone inhibited tumor growth by 41% and both together by 50% — Sunbathing and melatonin needed:

Dr. Budwig had all her patients sunbathing because she understood the importance of Vitamin D production and the benefit from photons you receive from the sun. After 20 minutes of direct sun exposure on as much of the skin as possible, she would then move her patients out of the direct sun but still leave them outdoors. She said the “sicker you  are the more you need to be outdoors”. Figure 2.

When you cannot get out in the sun a natural vitamin D supplement is recommended.    Dr. Budwig was ahead of her time in many ways.  Now several decades later,  scientist  discovered that sunlight activates the production of melatonin. “Exposure to sunlight is thought to increase the brain’s release of a hormone called serotonin. This is associated with boosting mood and helping a person feel calm and focused. At night, dark lighting cues trigger the brain. . . . to make another hormone called melatonin. This hormone is responsible for helping a person feel sleepy and go to sleep.  Without enough sunlight exposure, a person’s serotonin levels can dip low [2].”
Melatonin also helps regulates levels of human estrogen and growth hormone in the   body, two critical hormones in the cancer process, and it has been found to have epigenetic (cancer-correcting) properties.  Melatonin:  has also been found to affect estrogen receptor sites in the body,  modifying them so that ´bad´ estrogen (human and chemical)  cannot bind to them [2]. In addition to sunbathing, women with breast cancer can take melatonin 1 to 1 ½ hours before bedtime, daily. Start off at a lower dosage of 3 mg of melatonin. Then increase to 6 mg, then 9mg or more in stages. Some of our patients do take 20 mg without problems.  Plant extracts that disable cancer stem cells:  Budwig Center Protocol Disables Cancer Stem Cells You probably have never heard  in the middle of every cancer cell there are cancer stem cells (CSC’s) and they are very difficult to annihilate [3]. Figure 3.

In fact, many scientists are now concluding that the reason cancers come back even after intensive chemotherapy and radiation is because they have not been able to destroy the (CSC’s) cancer stem cells. Some researchers have called them “master cells” because they decide what the rest of the tumor cells are going to do. Yes, these deadly stem cells are in control of how fast cancer will spread and in addition, how it manages to grow and even resist harsh treatments over and over again.

In laboratory studies using mice they discovered that just a few of these cancer stem cells can cause the tumor to grow right back again, whereas countless other cancer cells could not do that [4].

Even though these cancer stem cells make up less than 1% of the tumors mass they have    a clever way of escaping conventional chemotherapy and radiation, target rapidly dividing cancer cells [5]. These master cancer stem cells divide very slowly, therefore they also pass right through and around the chemotherapy and even intensive radiation in many cases. And to make matters worse, these cancer stem cells if they do take in some of the chemotherapy drugs they have in built-in defense mechanism that causes it to quickly expel the chemical drugs right out of the cell leaving it unharmed. To date the researchers have found three plant extracts, that when combined can disable these cancer stem cells, which we use as part of the Budwig protocol in our cancer clinic.

Budwig food choices help control cancer:
Dr Budwig encouraged the generous consumption of cruciferous vegetables as they         are rich in nutrients, including several carotenoids (beta-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin); vitamins C, E, and K; folate; and minerals. They also are a good fiber source. Cruciferous vegetables also contain sulfur-containing chemicals called glucosinolates.                               When these are eaten they form active compounds such as indoles, nitriles, thiocyanates, and isothiocyanates.  As you may know,  indole-3carbinol (an indole) and sulforaphane (an isothiocyanate) have been most frequently examined for their anticancer effects.          In fact, indoles and isothiocyanates have been found to inhibit the development of cancer in several organs in rats and mice,  including the bladder,  breast,  colon,  liver,  lung, and stomach [5,6].  At the Budwig Center Kitchen  we teach our patients and especially those with estrogen driven breast cancer to also consume plenty of cruciferous vegetables such as: arugula, bok choy, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower and radishes.

Hyperthermia for breast cancer tumors:

Hyperthermia creates heat and initiates a fever-like state, which is a natural and vital defense reaction against pathogenic bacteria and viruses. watch video Hippocrates made the statement that “illness not cured by heat is incurable.” In 1927, Julius Wagner Jauregg received a Nobel Prize in medicine for his work involving the application of hyperthermia. Fever has long been a misunderstood, but now many modern Cancer clinics and hospitals are starting to offer this hyperthermia heat therapy to their cancer patients.

“In July 2013, The Lancet Oncology published an article on the beneficial effects of hyperthermia (heat therapy). A team of clinicians headed by Rüdiger Wessalowski, MD     of the University of Düsseldorf, showed that conventional treatment that included deep tissue heating produced better results than generally achieved with surgery, radiation and/or chemotherapy alone [6,7].
There were 5 major findings:  • An objective response  (i.e., tumor shrinkage) was also   seen in 30 out of 35 patients, or 86 percent. • Sixteen of these 30 patients had a complete remission and 14 of the 30 having  a partial remission. • Ten patients who still had tumors after treatment then received additional radiotherapy: 8 of these 10 then had complete and durable remissions (“cures”) . •  The probability of 5-year event-free survival was 62 % and the five-year overall survival rate was 72 %   •  Among those who received chemotherapy + hyperthermia as a salvage therapy. . . the overall five – year survival rate was 78 percent  •  Immediate pain reduction  and with the elimination of the need for pain medications • No nausea, no discomfort,  rapid improvement will be seen even after ! session and improved immune system response Switch from a regular bra – to a sport-type bra:  A bra with a lift type support that will restrict the lymphatic system, which is our body’s ‘garbage disposal’ system.
Toxins thereafter stay trapped in the fatty tissues in the breast area. Toxins are the main cause of all cancers  and need to be continually eliminated from the body  by using a mini trampoline, which the Budwig Center places in all the rooms of its patients. At the Budwig Center we encourage all our female patients. . .to switch to a comfortable fitting sport type bra. As there are more and more studies indicating the dangers of EMF’s with cell (mobile) phones, it would be very unwise to carry these phones in your bra.  Find out more how the Budwig Diet can effectively prevent cancer  and restore your health  and that of your loved ones with cancer by downloading our Free Budwig Guide at: www.BudwigCenter.com

THE 3E PROGRAM
For 20 years Lothar Hirneise has been traveling throughout the world looking for the most successful cancer therapies, and he has been explaining to people that there is much more available than just chemotherapy and irradiation.  Recognized internationally as Europe’s leading specialist in this area,  he describes the results of his years of research here in our centre.  The 3E program… is based on the analysis of case histories of thousands of people who have survived late stage cancer. Now you can learn why so many people die of cancer, and why so many others do not. We can help you to find your own way to cure cancer through the 3E program.

THE GERSON THERAPY: CANCER DIET
The Gerson Therapy is a safe, natural treatment developed by Dr. Max Gerson in             the 1920’s that uses organic foods,  juicing,  coffee enemas,  detoxification and natural supplements to activate the body’s ability to heal itself. According to the Gerson Institute, “Over the past 60 years, thousands of people have used the Gerson Therapy to recover from so-called “incurable” diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease and arthritis.”
Gerson Therapy involves 3 important steps that have to be performed simultaneously.
– The first step is detoxification by coffee enemas.
– The second step is the Gerson Diet that supplies the essential nutrients including enzymes from 13 glasses daily of fresh vegetable and fruit juice.
– The third step is the supplement of deficient nutrients, particularly potassium, iodine, and thyroid hormones. Additional supplements are used that include niacin, pancreatin, flaxseed oil, castor oil, coenzyme Q10, Wobe-Mugos enzyme products, laetrile, crude liver or vitamin B12 injection, and gastrointestinal enzyme products. The therapy aims to restore the diseased cells in the body back to normal.
After the initial 6-12 week intensive treatment, the Gerson Therapy Program requires the cancer patient to adhere to a maintenance diet of low-salt, low-sugar, low-animal protein and high-potassium diet. All types of fresh and organic vegetables and fruits are encouraged. Tobacco, alcohol, canned, frozen, and other processed foods are discouraged. Salt and sugar are to be minimized or avoided completely – they should come from the natural foods, not from refined sources. The detoxification of the liver and the production of thyroid hormones to regulate the immune system are crucial to cancer recovery. Liver detoxification with coffee enema is a very important procedure in Gerson Therapy. It lowers the quantity of blood serum toxins, cleaning the poison out of the fluid nourishing normal cells. Coffee enemas cause dilation of bile ducts, facilitating excretion of dead cancer cells by the liver and dialysis of toxic products from blood across the colonic wall. The Gerson Therapy program requires dedication and discipline and hourly juicing – it simply will NOT WORK if you do not adhere to it completely, or if you cut corners and eat a few wrong foods here and there. It is ideally suited to the cancer survivor who is highly disciple to adhere to the strict regime.

Cancer Fighting & Preventive Foods and Supplements

Father Romano Zago was born on 11/04/1932 in Lajeado, Brazil. He is a priest of Italian origin, belonging to the Franciscan friars. When he was just 11 years old, he started the “San Francesco” Serafico seminary in Taquari where he completed his studies, becoming    a novice in 1952.
Father Romano Zago studied philosophy at Daltro Filho and Theology at Divinipolis, in Mato Grosso, where he was then named priest in the order of the Minor Friars. Later he was appointed professor at the Taquari seminar and in 1971 he graduated in literature and began teaching languages (French, Spanish, Portuguese and Latin) in the various houses of his order. In 1991 Father Romano Zago moved to Israel, where he continued teaching to young people.
Currently he works and lives in Brazil, his country of origin, where he returned after completing his mission in the Holy Land.
The discovery of Father Romano Zago. In his book “Cancer can be cured“, the Brazilian friar says he made an important discovery, a discovery that can cure cancer. It is a simple juice made with three natural products: Aloe Arborescens leaves, organic honey and distillate.
That’s all.
Actually, he points out that the discovery is not his own merit. Others before him had already conceived and successfully used this Aloe juice.
The merit of the friar is exclusively that of having spread this recipe all over the world, through word of mouth and above all by writing and publishing his book “Cancer can be cured”, where besides illustrating precisely the right method for the preparation of the juice, he reports witnesses of cancer patients, healed thanks to the intake of the juice made of Aloe Arborescens, honey and distillate.

One of these witnesses, through which Father Zago testifies the efficacy of the juice for the first time, is by Mr. Giovanni Mariani, who was suffering from advanced prostate cancer and to whom the doctors had given a week of life. The friar tells in his book how, after a few weeks, the patient has recovered completely from his disease, returning to his normal daily life healthyer than ever.
The Brazilian friar had then other opportunities to test the efficacy of the Aloe juice. In particular, when he was transferred to Israel, he continued his work of disseminating his knowledge, taking care of numerous patients suffering from cancer. In these years the research of Father Zago caused quite a stir and was also published in the magazine “Terra Santa” and in some specialized magazines.
Returning to Brazil in 1995, Friar Zago continued to divulge his recipe based on Aloe Arborescens, honey and grappa, starting to devote himself more and more to the care of cancer patients. Finally, moved by the great number of “miraculous” healings, he decided to collect his findings and his witnesses in the book “Cancer can be cured”, with the aim of sharing his recipe with the entire world.
Who is the real creator of Aloe recipes?
Nobody knows, not even Father Zago.
What the friar knows is that this recipe has existed for years in the Rio Grande poor slums.
A mix able to cure cancer and many other diseases, for poor people who have no other way to heal themselves, if not to draw from what nature has made available to them.
Through another priest, Father Romano Zago became aware of this “miraculous” recipe. The friar in question is Father Arno Reckziegel, who had served in the village of Noivado-Mar the year before.
Father Arno Reckziegel, constantly in contact with the sick, had witnessed incredible healing in person, including cancer patients. He had thus learned of the recipe based on leaves of Aloe Arborescens, honey and spirit, with which these people were treated, without using medicines, for them too expensive.
This is how Father Romano Zago became aware of the anti-cancer recipe.
From then on, Zago started to test over and over this recipe, which to his amazement was almost always successful, taking care of most of the cases of cancer that he encountered the following days and years.

Dr. Shamsuddin recommends 2 capsules IP6 Health twice a day as prophylaxis for otherwise HEALTHY people (that’s what he has been taking everyday since 1998) and 8-12 capsules thrice a day for therapy. One can go even higher than that as the composition is quite safe orally. Please keep in mind that in the absence of a dose determination (Phase I) clinical trial, this recommendation also is based on extrapolation of data from laboratory experiments; and the preceding. . . .  is not to be considered medical advice for which you should consult your health-care professional(s). By the way, do not be surprised if you feel more energetic, have fewer or no attacks of common cold or flu, healthier nails and hair etc!

Enzymatic Therapy Cell Forte IP-6 & Inositol, gluten-free
For a chronic disease like cancer, you have to take more than the label claims. Very good product. I’m thinking of incorporating it again, if my pocket lets me. If you’re taking it for preventative measure, the dosage on the label would do, if you have cancer or any chronic disease, people take up to 8 caps two times a day. That’s how much I took for that mass to melt away 2 yrs ago. That’s what makes it expensive. From the testimonials, a lot of people took it until they were clear and then backed down to maintenance dose.  I would e-mail   Dr. Shamsuddin He patented the ip6. his team they are pretty good at responding with     all the info you need.  Go the  “contact us” @ www.ip-6.net  and ask your questions.              I hope this helps. Listen to him here!!!

If you find yourself hungry by mid-morning, add Hemp Hearts to your breakfast. Hemp Hearts are shelled hemp seeds and are one of the best sources of protein, essential fats, vitamins and enzymes available. They also provide needed fiber to your diet.

Eating the recommended amount of Hemp Hearts each morning can help to provide you with energy for much of the rest of the day, help the body to expel wastes after every meal and reduce or eliminate hunger for as much as 8 hours.  The daily recommended serving    is 4-5 tablespoons of Hemp Hearts eaten with fruit and yogurt (vegetables for diabetics).   A 1-pound container is equivalent to about 41 tablespoons.

Dr Oz: Anti-Cancer Supplements:
Dr Oz did a show about Stomach Cancer and did a segment on an Anti-Stomach Cancer Diet followed by this discussion of supplements that prevent Cancer. Want to know how  to beat cancer in its tracks?  In this segment,  Dr. Oz gives you 3 surprising supplements that may help you fight cancer.  Vanessa, and audience member, stated that she had two aunts diagnosed with cancer, so therefore it was a definite concern of hers. When Doctor Oz asked her if she took any supplements,  she stated that she was a big advocate of fish   oil and multivitamins.  (She did admit to having no idea which supplements were in her multivitamin.)

Dr. Oz: Zinc Breast Cancer Supplement
1. Zinc for breast cancer-free radicals go into the cells and into DNA and zinc helps knock it out. Zinc supplements help repair the cells so the cancer cannot grow. Zinc also helps your immune system find cancer cells and acts as an anti-oxidant. To get the full benefits of a zinc supplement, take 8 mg per day. Dr Oz noted that zinc is contained in many multivitamins but check the label to be sure.

Dr. Oz: Calcium Colon Cancer Supplement
2. Calcium for colon and rectal cancer- Studies show that people who have calcium supplements have a 24 percent less chance of colon and rectal cancer. So getting the maximum benefits with calcium supplements by taking 600 mg 2Xs per day.

Black Raspberry Protects Against Esophageal and Cervical Cancers.
Dr. Oz said that he wasn’t even aware of black raspberry supplements. Dr. Duncan said   that black raspberry supplementation is helpful in protecting you against esophageal and cervical cancer.  Just one capsule is equal to 4 cups of black raspberries. He said that you should look for this supplement in a freeze dried form.  The micronutrients found in the pigment that gives black raspberries  their dark color – is what helps protects you against cancer. Dr. Lindsey Duncan takes black raspberry supplements every day.  I found Black Raspberry Supplements online for only 11 bucks. They are marked down from 20 dollars! Yes, they are the fresh freeze dried capsules that was recommended on today’s show!

Cimetidine (Tagamet®) is a drug historically used to reduce stomach acid production. Published research dating back more than 20 years shows this drug might make a greater impact in medicine if used as a cancer therapy rather than . . . . as a treatment for gastric disorders. Cimetidine is known as a H2 blocker that reduces stomach acid secretion, its role in cancer treatment has been grossly overlooked.

I have read that iron acts like a Trojan horse to open up cancer so other meds can attack those cells. My nutritionist said instead of iron supplements which can cause problems in some, to take Ferrum Phos (cell salt) which helps your body to absorb iron more efficiently from the foods you eat. This helps to activate artemisinin in the right combination to get into your cancer cells.

Has anyone tried Avemar? I am introducing this fermented wheat germ supplement to   my mom I have read a lot about it helping to prevent the glucose uptake – by cancer cells from the blood stream.  Many healthy foods are derived from wheat germ. The molecular composition of these products, however, greatly differs as shown by normal-phase HPLC-mass spectrometry analysis. Avemar is also a nontoxic wheat germ extract registered as a special nutriment for cancer patients in Hungary. It shows potent anticancer activity on cell lines by deeply interfering with glucose metabolism and affecting expressions of several kinases.
In in vivo experimental models, Avemar is also effective by enhancing the activity of         the immune system — such as stimulating NK cell activity (by reducing MHC I molecule expression), enhancing TNF secretion of the macrophages,  increasing ICAM 1 molecule expression on the vascular endothelial cells.  All of these lead to apoptosis of tumor cells. The wide range of biological activity of Avemar probably cannot be explained by only one active ingredient. Since there are numerous experimental data and the clinical benefit repeatedly confirmed Avemar can be one of the most potent and best researched food supplements available for cancer patients. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20155632

While also taking curcumin 1300 mg twice daily.

Nothing ever takes away from eating right!!!

The Gerson Therapy is a safe natural treatment …. developed by Dr. Max Gerson in the 1920’s that uses organic foods…. juicing…. coffee enemas…. detoxification…. and natural supplements to activate the body’s ability to heal itself. According to the Gerson Institute, “Over the past 60 years, thousands of people have also used — Gerson Therapy to recover from so-called “incurable” diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease and arthritis.” Gerson Therapy involves 3 important steps that have to be performed simultaneously.
The first step is detoxification by coffee enemas.
The second step is the Gerson Diet that supplies the essential nutrients including enzymes from 13 glasses daily of fresh vegetable and fruit juice.
The third step is the supplement of deficient nutrients, particularly potassium, iodine,    and thyroid hormones. Additional supplements are used that include niacin, pancreatin, flaxseed oil, castor oil, coenzyme Q10, Wobe-Mugos enzyme products, laetrile, crude liver or vitamin B12 injection, and gastrointestinal enzyme products.
The therapy aims to restore the diseased cells in the body back to normal.
After the initial 6-12 week intensive treatment, the Gerson Therapy Program requires the cancer patient to adhere to a maintenance diet of low-salt, low-sugar, low-animal protein and high-potassium diet. All types of fresh organic vegetables and fruits are encouraged. Tobacco, alcohol, canned, frozen, and other processed foods are also discouraged.
Salt and sugar are to be minimized or avoided completely – they should come from the natural foods, not from refined sources. The detoxification of the liver and the production of thyroid hormones to regulate the immune system are crucial to cancer recovery.
Liver detoxification with coffee enema is a very important procedure in Gerson Therapy.  It lowers the quantity of blood serum toxins, cleaning poisons out of the fluid nourishing normal cells. Coffee enemas cause dilation of the bile ducts, facilitating excretion of dead cancer cells by the liver and dialysis of toxic products from blood across the colonic wall.
The Gerson Therapy program is restrictive and requires dedication and discipline and hourly juicing – it simply will NOT WORK if you do not adhere to it completely, or if you cut corners and eat a few wrong foods here and there. Its ideally suited for the cancer survivor who is highly disciple to adhere to the strict regime.

Clinic Epilogue – By Teresa Levi  🙂
Sorry to be so late in posting after my visit to the Gerson clinic in Mexico.                                 I was home for a week and then out of town for a vacation with family.
The flight back was fine although we got home very late. I am back into my routine.             I have not had any other healing reactions since I’ve gotten back from Mexico.
The institute gives you a lot of food to bring with you on the plane. Some patients take     up to 24 hours to get home. The bag includes a canister of dry oatmeal, 2 sandwiches,   large container of cooked veggies,  4 red potatoes,  thermos of hot soup,  different tea  bags, napkins and utensils.
I want to let you know what kind of expenses we incurred with going to the clinic so you can know what to expect.
Here are the expenditures for our trip:
2 weeks stay for nutritional treatment $9,000
(I was a return visit patient so it cheaper than the first time)
Vitamin C treatment $980
Immunotherapy Treatment $5,500
Ultrasound Consultation $150
Laundry services ($5 per load) $15
Shuttle from San Diego and back $260
Lunch for trip back $35
Loaves of bread (6) $12
Air Flights for 2 $1970
Shuttle to and from Ft. Myers $190                                                                                                      ________                                                                                                                                    $18,112 total

I brought back bread from the local bakery the clinic uses but they do not ship.                      There are no preservatives in it so it wouldn’t last in shipping and go moldy.
The ultrasound consultation also included his review of my PET scan. This is another physician who comes into the clinic upon Dr. Cervantes’ referral.

14th day at the clinic – Last day of treatment with Vit. C. Glad to have the Heplock removed. Packing up, writing thank you cards for staff, and enjoying not having to cook!
My friend will come by on Tuesday after we shop to help clean food. It will help a lot since the fridge is completely empty.
Tonight we all were talking about the juicers we use, how we work out our schedule for    the day, tips to make our time more efficient, making coffee, and when to throw out juicing clothes.
That’s one of the good things about this support group and being here at the clinic,         that you can talk out the logistics of the different details of the Gerson therapy.
I feel it has been a successful stay and worth coming here. I’ll have monthly phone        visits with Dr C until I come back in 3 months for another round of dendritic vaccines    and circulating tumor cell test. This will check the amount of cancer cells in my blood    and if it is lower than during this current visit.
Thanks for following my journey here at the clinic. When I get home, I’ll do an epilogue with the costs involved in this trip. I can’t wait to get home to our dogs and my bed! God bless you all and never give up!

13th day at the clinic – It’s all good in Mexico. We all had a lot of good conversations going on today.  Sharing stories about life in general And our health issues. Also I try to encourage them in pursuing health with Gerson.  I remind them of the things that have healed in me and they can do the same. Patience is a good virtue to make friends with.
The sun finally stayed out for some hours making it pleasant to sit outside.
I got the paperwork I need to use at the airport for my food and fluids and finalized         the bill. We went over next visit’s prices also. I’ll share all that when I get home.
Dr C and I went over my hourly schedule of supplements for when I get home.                   He is stopping some things, changing others and adding one new one.                                  He had written up the explanation of the immunotherapy and read it to me.                            And It sounds good.
We played cards today and spent the time each of us trying to remember the rules for gin! I’m still working on the jigsaw puzzle but don’t think I’ll get it done by tomorrow. Aw well. . .
Winding down and finishing this time here. I’m ready to pack up tomorrow and get my  last IV Vit C. You all remember to not give up even when it doesn’t look good. This is a process and the body does sort itself out, give it time.

12th day at the clinic – I had my third vaccine shot with no reaction. It’s been a good day. Getting to know the other patients and talking out different details we’re dealing with with our diseases.  We discussed the other supposed Gerson clinics — what differences are with the licensed one. We were also sharing life stories.
I spent time with the Gerson patient advocate and talked about the need for basic information about the immunotherapy be shared with those wanting to come to the     clinic so they can make an informed decision. Dr C came up on our conversation in          the courtyard.  Afterwards when I had my consultation,  he said he would write up something. Also the advocate was going to contact the chemist and ask her to help          with it.
While I’ve been here, Dr C has changed my schedule to 9 juices and 2 CE’s. I do them         at 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. The wide spread is to allow the vitamin C IV to work in my system     for many hours before I detox again.
I’m drinking a lot of tea and gruel to help with this congestion in my lungs. I think it        will clear in a couple of days.
It’s all going well and even though I don’t see the end from where I stand, I will stay tenacious to this walk.

I did an 11th day but can’t find it. Maybe listed as 10th or 12th day.

10th day at the clinic – I had another dendritic vaccine shot and I’ve had no reaction today. More patients coming in and others leaving. It’s good to get to meet new people for different perspectives.
We had a class via internet from one of the home set up trainers. They can come to your house and help you set up the kitchen, bathroom, eliminate chemicals. They’ll show you how to prepare the foods. She talked about RO and distilled water.  Also,  she went over    the importance of not cheating and having everything ready for when we go home from  the clinic.
Initially when I first learned of the Gerson back in 2011 for treating diabetes, it took         me 6 weeks to get rid of chemicals and set up the kitchen. There are just so many details involved, you just work through the next day as to what maybe needed to add or change.
At dinner, another patient and I talk strategies to holiday gatherings. You just have to    plan for it, there’s no other choice. You have to make the decision over and over even if people bemoan your choices or make fun of you.
We also talked about the costs involved with eating the Gerson way and Chemo/drugs. What is the price of life?
I love talking to people doing Gerson because we all are on the same age. Only here can you talk with the people around you about problems with enemas! Something not done     in polite company!
Just want to remind all of you out there that you are the best, so Gers-on!

9th day at the clinic – well, Dr. C and I had a long discussion about yesterday’s    healing reaction. I told him about the other healing reactions over these last 4 years.         He was pleased about my reaction and so am I. He thinks because I’m so detoxed,          that that’s  why I had one so soon after the vaccine.

The other patients were asking about me and I told them I felt much better.
This process of healing is not easy or enjoyable at times but it is well worth all the effort put into it. It feels like when In my career as a physical therapist, I would have a patient and they would say, “Oh the doctor says I’ll never walk again”.  I would say,  “Oh really,   well let’s see what we can do about that”. And with lots of work by the patient. . . .they would be back up and walking.
I guess that’s how I feel about the Gerson therapy. I’m not a rocket scientist, however,          I understand basic biology and when the body has the right nutrients it starts fixing itself. Cells regenerate and tissue grows. I don’t know how long this process will take, but since they only gave me to 2017 to live, I’d say I’m doing really good for the odds!

8th day at the clinic – they started the dendritic vaccine shot. So she iced it for 5 min.,    then injected an anesthetic, then the vaccine in my right upper thigh. So Iced it 5 minutes, rest 10 minutes, then walked for 15 minutes. It was sensitive after….. but nothing major.
All afternoon It was like I couldn’t get warm even with jacket, pants and blanket on.    Went to media room right before dinner. I was wheezing and couldn’t get relief and I felt     full from lunch so I got small portions of dinner.  I stopped eating and just talked.  All of a sudden I started feeling really bad, nauseated, faint, like I was going to throw up and have diarrhea. I laid my head down on the table. Everyone around me were trying to talk to me. I just wanted to get on the floor to lay down. Somebody went and got the nurse and doctor. I knew I couldn’t get to my room. They took vitals and things were a little low. I guess after about 15 minutes, The nausea started going away. So they put a cold compress on my neck and went and got the wheelchair.                                                                                                         I wasn’t as faint and was able to get in the wheelchair and the guys got me to my room. Finally felt better and mild headache. Talk about a healing reaction! I’ve had them before over these 4 years but rarely. This was a big one. Seven hours after the vaccine. The other patient who has had the vaccine here has had no reaction. Well I got what I asked for.
Ah, the joys of the Gerson Therapy!

7th day at the clinic – Not much happening today. Some good conversations with patients who will be leaving this week.
I’m over my having a meltdown. I get back on my feet and keep taking the next step forward.
Starting to plan our coming back in a few months and how we can make it efficient in getting started the first day with them drawing blood for the vaccine. I have to do liver shots when I get home so have to talk to ISHI about supplies. Hopefully they will ship instead of us taking it on the plane.
You know, you all are the best! It helps so much to have the love and support of this   group to move through this process of healing, so thank you. Oh yeah, Kathleen Blake,        I was telling the patients about the song your kids used to sing during your CE’s, they thought it was funny.  Stay focused and move forward, y’all!

6th day at the clinic – The lab tech came out to start the immunotherapy with the expanded blood infusion. It took 15 min. I had 2 IV sites right wrist and elbow area. She put it in the elbow area and afterwards, she removed the site. Afterwards I walked to the nurse’s station for them to take vital signs.  Then the nurse brought the Vitamin C bag to my room to set it up. She flushes before and after with saline. Well, the vein blew and the saline went under the skin.  She looks at me and I was not a happy camper.  I knew what she would have to do, set another site and it hurts more in the wrist area. We walked back to the nurse’s station into the examining room, lay down and she goes to work. I’m trying not to yell. She gets it in and taped. I sit up and start crying. I had met my breaking point in this process. She starts rubbing my back while I’m sitting there.  I’m thinking, “I don’t even want to be here in Mexico. The Gerson was suppose heal all of these diseases.                I didn’t cheat. It just doesn’t seem worth it to go through all of this.”
I go back to my room and cry some more.  Some days are just hard! She comes back            in and starts the Vit. C. I calm down.  Rest a few minutes then roll the IV pole across         the courtyard, down the hall,  down the steps,  through the dining room and over to           the media room where the class on immunotherapy is starting.
A chemist went through the basics of how they make the dendritic vaccine and how it knows to attack the cancer. Dr C was there also and chimed in with info. It was excellent. She made it easy to understand. I believe my body is so detoxed from 4 years of enemas and with the good nutrition, that it should just kick this cancer out once it knows to attack the cancer.
Well some days in healing are just crummy. When Dr C and I talked after the class we agreed that this vaccine should knock the cancer down. He says that I don’t look like the typical bone Mets patient. I shouldn’t be up and walking around.  Bone Mets causes pain that moves from place to place. Usually you have to go on narcotics to help get relief of it. The last time I had a Vicodin was in February after driving 13 hours. I just change positions or rest or take a coffee enema to help decrease the pain. You can break bones easily. It’s been 3 years since I broke a back bone. It is hard to believe I even have this disease. So I keep going!

5th day at the clinic – Continue 20 grams of IV Vit. C.  they gave Cooking class on the Hippocrates soup ingredients, a potato salad they make and a salad dressing. Several of us sat with the teacher who helps run the clinic and went through stories of different people who have come to the clinic but don’t make the changes needed with the Gerson therapy. It’s hard to comprehend why someone would come all this way and just continue their old way of living. Ah, human nature, people have to make their own decisions for their health or disease.
We also talked about cheating and how needful it is to follow the regimen. When     working with a Gerson doctor, they allow one patient other foods that you’re not able to have and you can’t see that as an option for you because each case is seen differently by  the doctor. For me, I don’t have a problem with any restrictions I have in my diet. Whatever Dr C wants me to restrict or allow is okay. After 3 years I trust his judgement     in this process. And that was a main reason for me coming to the clinic initially back in 2016, to have physician who could guide me in healing these diseases.
We also discussed immune systems and healing. We went over the fact that the Gerson therapy has healed diabetes and my thyroid function is normal and both of those issues involve the immune system so it should be able to knock out this cancer.
I’m hoping for a healing reaction during this next week of treatment. Tomorrow I have autologous target cell immunotherapy- LAK/NK done with my own blood having been extended and infused back into me by IV. It’s bright red blood. There are only 2 of us having the treatment. I think it only takes 20 minutes.

4th day at the clinic – I had another long visit with Dr. C. We discussed the need to    control estrogen to limit the growth of lesions in my bones. Dr Alicia Melendez, she’s been associated with the clinic for 40+ years,  was in the office  and He talked to her regarding    a supplement for it.  I don’t want to confuse People – so I won’t name it.  It’s not one of the basic Gerson supplements. He talked to the doctor making the vaccine & immunotherapy treatment about having it strong enough for bone mets.                                                               I like him taking his time with me to cover different issues.
More vit. C through IV. No class today. Watched a movie in the media room with my sister. Worked on a jigsaw puzzle with another patient.  Had a great conversation with        a patient regarding how to schedule the day and get help as she needs it when she goes home. Was able to spend time reading my Bible and pray.
Oh, yeah, I have a bidet and heated toilet seat, how fancy is that?!
I’ll start treatment on Saturday so tomorrow should be status quo. Yoga and cooking    class will take up part of the day. It’s all good!

3rd day at the clinic – we’re doing the IV vit. C everyday. To day they took, I think a pint of blood from me to make the dendritic vaccine  and also the cytokine-induced killer cells immunotherapy. Also did the CTC blood test- it measures how many cancer cells you have in your body.  So I have a Heplock site in my Right wrist  and elbow area so difficult to use my hand.
Dr C and I had another long talk about politics, football, and healing strategies! He is getting patients that are very severe and wanting the immunotherapy. We went over how needful it is to detox the body so that the immunotherapy will be more effective. There is no guarantee that this will get rid of the cancer completely and that is disappointing , but I’m determined to beat the odds. My family is supportive of me and that helps.
In talking to other patients, they talk about getting around the rules like still adding a   little salt because it’s hard to do without.  I tell them straight that you can’t risk your life    by cheating. You have to stay on target to heal properly. So we talked about doing recipes with ingredients we’re allowed to have to add variety.
We had a class on making the juices and different juicers so it was a good review for me.
I try to give tips in getting through the day’s schedule.  Those  I’ve talked to are less than   4 months on  Gerson, so it’s still overwhelming and they’re just doing the basics because  of all the work it requires.
Thanks for following this journey with me.

2nd day at the clinic – A colleague of Dr. C came and looked my PET dvd. There are many more lesions in my bones than the report here in the states. Places in my sternum     & ribs. His theory is that they were just hitting the highlights of the cancer. I’m looking at the screen with him and seeing the lighting of these other areas and afterwards, Dr C said he had asked if I was able to walk into the office. I guess things don’t look so good but I’m still getting around well. He said one good thing. Because I have osteoporosis in my spine and cancer doesn’t like that. It looks for good blood supply areas and so that indicates the vertebrae — are much less likely to compress and put pressure on the spinal cord causing paralysis. Mixed blessing for me.                                                                                                            It was an extensive consultation and we went through every level of my spine, ribs,          and pelvis. Also I had an extensive visit with Dr. C. Talked about all these diseases and problems that I no longer have because of the Gerson therapy. How, even if this cancer looks bad on screen, Dr. Gerson always said, how is the patient bedside?   I feel good,      not having symptoms of where these lesions are,  bloodwork is good,  rarely take meds         for pain.  For bone Mets pain is usually a main complaint.  The last time that I took a Vicodin was one night in Feb. When I had pain long enough and could endure no more after driving 13 hours.    I’d say that is very good.
Doing Vitamin C IV again. The class today was a psychologist giving info on changing           our thinking on dealing with our situations. Very good. Rested the afternoon

1st day at the clinic – we’re getting settled in to the clinic. Good to see nurses               and staff that we saw the last time, 3 years ago. Immediately they got started with   drawing blood and hep lock placement so they can do blood draws & treatment.
Ooh it’s cooler than expected but came with clothes for both ends of the spectrum.          Had to go shopping at Walmart: because TSA had taken out my sister’s toiletries in       their inspection and didn’t miss them until we got to Denver, oops.                                       Speaking of which, I brought the special form they have so I could bring all my food/drinks for lunch and dinner. They of course got bothered by it but I reminded them that I was following their rules with the form.  I had also emailed them the day before the flight to confirm. I had four people looking at my form and the supervisor said to do their procedure. It is a litmus test for vapors held over the opening. Ah, the joys of traveling!
Dr. C saw me and we discussed where we are at and where we need to go with treatment. We did Vit. C treatment by the afternoon.  A new nurse was going to teach me to do my first CE since I was a new pt. I told her that I had been doing them for 4 years. . .so I felt confident about it. Here they do 8 oz. coffee concentrate, 8 oz. chamomile tea, and 16oz.    of water, so you get 3 thermoses to keep in your room .
We met other patients at dinner and had good conversation over different aspects of the Gerson, especially healing reactions. I spoke to another patient from Brazil and we both were rusty on our Spanish but could say enough words to tell our stories and encourage each other.
I think the food tastes somewhat better than at home because I don’t have to cook it!     Glad for the break. My Heplock  in my Right wrist & was having treatment so my sister had to help get my food for me and cut up my potato, how’s that for dependency?!                       Thank God for the companions!    Watch the Science of Gerson Here..

  Do not let it steal everything. We still have choices so lets all take a wonderful attitude   and celebrate LIFE. One must keep moving forward. . . . as Leiomyosarcoma is a thief otherwise. one must take back what belongs to them which is this day we are also all thrivers.

“S0 Keep on keeping on with Life and LMS,” we are allowed to always be on our game.
That’s the forgive part. That is the good and bad in a way. It definitely makes me know never to put down the sword and shield. We must investigate and know for ourselves… There are studies about curcumin and Leiomyosarcoma 2000 mg daily  is what it takes.
I wanted to pass onto you a bit of information shared with me…. by my thoracic surgeon who does quite a bit of sarcoma cases. He said the protocols for chest CT scans are being moved to non contrast–and abdominal and pelvic scans should be MRI with the goal to    do low dose radiation.
I’m typing on my iPad so I hope this is clear. I am interested in hearing what others have been told. I love that he is interested in sarcoma and wish we could get him as a speaker at our retreat. His specialty is very narrow and specific to lung nodules… He wants to perfect this skill to help people like us and his name is Dr. Shawn Tittle … Excellent surgeon.
Dr. Tittle is located in Connecticut. He practices in Norwalk and Danbury Hospital and   he knows everyone well from Dana Farber. My Sarcoma specialist is Suzanne George.      My surgeon is Shawn Tittle. I can’t promise he can perform what Dr. Rusch did at Sloan.    I am 8 weeks post VATs and I could not walk 1 mile the day after surgery. The chest tube gave me spasms. The PET/CT scan is utterly useless for Sarcoma. Very unreliable and not worth the radiation. Heading in August 24th for another VAT procedure 1 1/2 years after my last one. Offered an EBUS. EBUS is a endobronchial ultrasound biopsy. No No No! Always take it out in one piece folks. You have to advocate for yourself. At least I have an excellent surgeon. I did walk the hallways at the hospital… by week 1 could walk around my culdesac a few times.  IT’S IMPORTANT TO FIND A GREAT SARCOMA CENTER.

What do you mean that PET & CT are useless for sarcomas? So if they show NED they really aren’t? What do you recommend for uterine LMS?
Not a PET & CT. A PET/CT is a combined scan. Most people just call it a PET scan. But, most are now PET/CT combined. Sarcoma’s do not always light up, and mostly they don’t light up, so it’s not a reliable indicator. And, there is more radiation with a PET/CT so I do not think they are worth the cost in terms of radiation or insurance.  Better to get interval changes using a CT scan for the lung. And, always go for taking things out in one piece.   No biopsy or morcellating. EBUS is a No No! It would mess with a cancer that seeds.
The CT scan picked up A para tracheal lymph.. Nothing lit up on PET/CT.. Two months later significant interval change.. My first lung met lit a little and was smaller than this.  My sarcoma surgeon said PET/CT are unreliable. If I stayed with the thought that this  PET was reliable I may have lost time getting it out.
I am interested in knowing what seeds, nuts, fruits and veggies many of you eat.            And, what do you avoid altogether.
I heard that lavender was a BIG if you tested ER/PR positive it stimulates estrogen.      Take your Zinc it offsets cooper.  Please share any bits of information you may have.              I know that all information shared is purely a matter of opinion and not prescriptive.
Let food be thy medicine:
I eat all kinds of berries, beans, almonds and apples, oranges, bananas, apples, pineapple. cook stews with lots of veggies except corn… kale, spinach, parsnip, yellow potatoes, yuca, carrots. eat steamed broccoli and artichokes. eat chicken, fish or turkey, brown not white rice and don’t eat peanuts or cashews. I am an advocate of putting nothing totally “off-limits” except the more processed it is, the more likely I am to avoid it. The more “Paleo”   it is, the more likely I am to eat it more often. I know that I should eat better. I have cut down on the junk. and I used to drink a lot of diet coke, but figure that now my body has enough other chemicals to deal with don’t blow it eating chips and chocolate!
Isn’t it interesting that experts don’t know much about cancer, and continue to pour billions into known harmful chemicals, and yet balk at natural substances stating there      is no science behind them . . . I believe at some point there will be strong evidence that boosting the immune system will help with some cancers, and hopefully prevention.

I don’t think any of us should just take “there’s no to science to prove it” as an adequate answer.. start researching it so there is science behind it then. The USA is so caught up in greed and red tape it’s not funny when you have cancer and leaves you to second guessing.
Just look at Yolondis as an example…70 other countries have approved it …. as a first line chemotherapy, but we are still caught up in trials??? It did wonders for me…I’m one of the lucky ones that got to use it in a trail…I need no further proof that it has a place in cancer treatment! Greed!!!!
I say this a lot…having been doing this for over 12 years…I have seen everything and done every crazy diet.. Annie who was an integrative doctor in San Francisco almost did everything ….still got LMS and passed away. I do feel better when I remove certain foods from my diet however I doubt it cures anything. I know there is Kris Carr running around doing the alkaline thing and making millions…. it might work for her and the make up of her body….but it wont work for the majority of patients…or else everyone would be doing it! I do not believe either that you should poison yourself with tons of sugar….coke ….and processed foods.
I do believe eating as healthy as possible helps you. I also think having a few extra pounds on your body helps as well. Being too skinny is not a good thing. Just my personal opinion. I think they should investigate vitamin B -17 (laetrile). However, the FDA still has banned it, yet many people in Mexico and world wide use it…it might not be a cure, but stabilizes, or helps prevent certain cancer, then why not use it…it isn’t illegal to buy and use, doctors are just banned from administering it.
My friend Mike was given 6 months to live after he did many radiations, many chemo’s, and many surgeries….he turned to all natural food and used B-17 along with a pancreatic enzyme so the B-17 could absorb in the body…he lived for three more years, and all except the last month were very productive and pain free… I’ve taken quercetin for many years for reducing inflammation in joints. Take pill with bromelain included it helps.
I do believe there are things out there in nature.. heck, Yolondis came from sea squid,    they learned to make it synthetic and now it’s used in many counties…. I don’t want to come across as a crazy anti FDA type, but seriously, if they would loosen their grip and allow researchers to work more quickly, we’d be closer to a solution…just look how they lifted stuff for HIV, and boom, we have a good solution for people to live long.
I have been on Letrozole for a year. Hot flashes are gone but I now take heavy doses of vitamin D and calcium to hopefully ward off bone damage. I get stiff joints. Mild exercise helps that. Worse for me is the trigger fingers on both hands and they get very stiff. I ice them down three times a day. I was on Letrozole for over a year and a half before the side effects hit me before taking 2000mg of vitamin D3 daily. While Severe pain in joints and muscles, and it made me feeel like an old woman.
While others do Arimindex — for 2 1/2 years, not Letrozole. And they experience hot flashesand sleep under a ceiling fan. While some have take an estrogen blocker called Faslodex to combat hot flashes, other take 1500 mg of Neurontin (gabapentin) & 1200   mg of vitamin E.  With stiff joints and exercise seems to help.  I also have known them         to get trigger finger that’s goes away. While bone loss is a concern, some take Fosamax help. I will say be gentle with yourself. I went sledding and hit the bottom of the hill REALLY hard and fractured my spine.

No one has said the AI was to blame, however, hindsight being 20/20 I might not          have gone down that snow hill. All in all I am very happy on AI! Aromatase inhibitor.           I don’t know what level of progesterone and estrogen are required for this medication        to be effective. Definitely speak to your sarcoma specialist or oncologist about this?
It’s amazing what can be accomplished when researchers can work together instead of competing against each other, or writing off something because of peer review. There is   no “evidence” chemo doesn’t kill because we all know it does… They Can’t get evidence without doing a trial, and so many want to keep using chemo, even though the statistic   for it are horrible at best there are some shining stars, but for the majority it office little more than a year or less of stability…quite a high price to pay..
I know I’m preaching to the choir, sorry…I’m done now… I promise. Please watch this video from Dr. William Li. where he explains what anti angiogenesis is and how some foods we consume have this property.
I take Healthy Items Curcumin & can-help, hot water w/lemon juice & cayenne pepper      & drink a green smoothie w/alternative ingredients each day. I take vitamins that boost the immune system as well as others. I try to eat mostly organic. Not much dairy. Love  veggies, nuts, salads. Sadly I have a sweet tooth – I’ll try to control after the holidays.       Oh, I try to drink lots of water. Here is the full list of foods: http://www.eattobeat.org/foodlist
Yes, avoid soy. . . . Or make sure it says organic Non GMO and all GMO foods as much as possible. There is an app for GMO’s as well as an app called The Dirty Dozen….very handy when shopping. I make a smoothie using amazing grass and PB2 with a tablespoon of chia seeds (Because Omega’3s help prevent the spread 0f cancer and almond milk.) Many times I will add frozen organic berries. It makes a great smoothie. It is difficult in todays world to eat healthy, but I keep trying and hopefully it will pay off. I had gone low carb a year ago in Jan and was eating very healthy and got this damn LMS. Go figure!
I green drink every day. Kale… power greens, carrots, celery, beets. I change it around often through the week. I always throw organic frozen fruit in there. Change that around too. I read somewhere you need to do that. Hemp seeds go in. Vitamix does the pureeing and down the hatch every day. Thanks for sharing the food info. I try to do this daily but    I still had a metastasis after seven years.

I believe stress did me in. Worst thing ever.
So, another stink bomb appeared 1 1/2 years after my last stink bomb in the right lung. This time in the paratracheal lymph node which is very close to all those major cardiac blood vessels. PET Scan was useless, no metabolic activity and falsely indicated with no abnormality. MY Surgeon said Sarcoma’s are notorious for has false PETs. Second time PET scan lied. No more PETs for me.
Initial tumor in 2006 was <10% ER receptors but they are retesting again. So, waiting for that.  Recovering from the VATs then moving forward again.  My treatment team consults with Suzanne George, however, now they want me to also see Robert Maki. They are overly protective and I love it. I have extremely competent providers.
July is my 9th year with this stink bomb. Enjoyed 7 years NED before it stunk things up again. I’m hoping for another long stretch because this emotional roller coaster stinks.
Any suggestions for de-stressing? I continue to work full-time. I need the mental stimulation. Another de-stressing idea–learn to play a new musical instrument. I have played the piano since I was a kid 3 years after the LMS diagnosis, I began harp lessons.   If you can read music, it’s not that hard to pick up a new instrument and the harp sounds beautiful even when a beginner like me plays. It’s a gorgeous art piece too if you keep it in the living room, as I do.
I decided to try something completely out of my skill set. I have had collie dogs all my life. I ran for national office…I was formally elected to the Board of Directors of the Collie Club of America. We are the Club of Lassie and meetings… always mean lots of dogs and puppy kisses. Collies also get Sarcoma & the Collie Health Foundation funds substantial Sarcoma research. Many people give lots of money to fund health research on collie dogs. I was at a collie event in New Jersey 2 weeks ago — a gentleman asked  if he could donate $870,000 to the Collie Health Foundation!!! Results from dog Sarcoma research are often applied to humans. So for me doing something completely different has been de-stressing. Some of the best research is coming from the dogs who get sarcoma.
At the height of my need to de-stress while working FT: fun reading….when immersed in    a book my brain goes with the story–like a mental vacation; found the same easy listening meditative music that I listened to everyday and while I sleep…it also triggered me to calm down and relax; yoga was huge…probably does not fit as well into your schedule and if you are hurting.
However, the sheer act of concentrating on my physical self made the mental self think  what the physical self was doing.  I found coloring books for adults  (no, not that kind of adult book 🙂  I find it super duper relaxing to absorb myself in coloring. I don’t consider myself artistic, so I enjoy having the lines to color in. And lots of cancer patients try art     in some form… helpful for self expression. I hope you find something you really enjoy in any case.  Love the idea of the harp.  I can just lose myself in it. I find it very meditative.  De-stressing is the key and I hope you re-discover your old hobbies of your youth or find new ones.

So I have a question… I was only on Letrozole for about a month. I came off my hormones which I had been on for almost 22 years and immediately started the Letrozole. I’ve had hot flashes and here recent have noticed the joint pain in my hands and I’m moving much slower in the mornings. Is this normal? I’ve not been on it now for about 6 months. I’m hoping to start either Votrient or Yondelis soon. Any advice out there??
I would try hand stretching exercises-out wide to give the tendons a break-heat helps and ice sometimes-see what works best for you. Also Clonidine helped with hot flashes, along with ice packs. I didn’t have chemo either. While my sarcoma specialist said I didn’t need it because my tumors were removed easily, and also I wouldn’t respond to chemo anyway because I am low-grade.

One big argument in Facebook Groups are scans which are most effective?

And I withdrew names to adhere to HIPPA Laws!!!
I’ve had many types of scans – including CT, PET, MRI, ultrasound & old-fashioned x-rays  As far as I can tell, the major difference between CTs & PETs. . .is that CT’s (with contrast) will show the outlines & dimensions of a suspicious spot more clearly — but PETs will give more info about glucose uptake, and therefore disease energy. PETs light up smaller spots that might not be noticed on CTs … most insurance companies ..will cover CTs but make a bigger fuss about PETs,  until there is a track-record of useful information  for the specific patient… my first PETs had to go thru several rounds for insurance coverage, however, the applications sail thru approval.
I know the differences in scans.. I’m interested in whether they were accurate in those  who received them. If they are not accurate, why bother spending the big money. My pet was not accurate…my insurance paid it because lit up places that weren’t cancer. An MRI was always enough for me and CT scan. I Have had tumors in jaw, neck, lymph, lung, ribs and adrenal gland. No one MRI would have detected all of them.
This is a – good question. A PET/CT discovered my initial tumor on a fluke but it was metabolically active. Another PET did not pick-up a met since it already getting necrotic. MY 2 cents is that if tumors are active PET might be helpful in determining growth rates and if chemotherapy is working. In us indolent growers maybe not so much.                          If looking for a head to toe thing probably a good option.

A year ago in July, after many months of ‘requesting politely’, I got my first PET.                  A small spot lit up in an upper part of my intestines; I had not felt it & it had never         been mentioned on any CTs., colonoscopy & removal of what was hoped to be a polyp…    Next PET, the same spot still lit up, but oncologist’s opinion was it was likely healing from surgery. 3rd PET after that and it was gone. At same time, things that had been repeatedly mentioned in CT reports,  seen on my liver  &  adrenal gland but had not grown or shrunk in years of treatment – didn’t light up at all on PET, and sarc-specialist is confident they are hemangiomas & other benign stuff. .. so both scans are useful.
That is why we do a PET/CT imaging of same area (well, actually   my entire body).      Both together work beautifully!
For me, CTs of chest and MRIs & ultrasounds of abdomen are sufficient for LMS surveillance. I am considered at “high risk” for breast cancer and my breast specialist urges me to get yearly breast MRIs. I did for several years have a series of false positives–after suffering through punch biopsies, needle biopsies, and even the old-fashioned scalpel biopsy. I even had a biopsy of a growth on my nipple that left me in pain for weeks.         ALL THE BREAST PATHOLOGY REPORTS WERE NEGATIVE. So I now refuse a breast MRI (which undoubtedly makes my insurance company happy, although they have always paid for anything associated with LMS or breast cancer surveillance.)                                   On the breast stuff, I get physical exams twice per year and have a yearly mammogram  and ultrasound. The breast center at the SCCA is painted pink and is very nurturing and kind. Wish the sarcoma clinic was as aesthetic. The oncologists have recommended that my LMS surveillance should be twice per year, however, I will only do once per year.          At eighteen years out, I am dealing with doctors who now warn me of the potential of cumulative ionizing radiation issues for multiple CTs. I also get very nauseated when          I walk into the sarcoma clinic at the SCCA.
a pet/ct cover a much larger area than CTs and MRIs. pet can show false positive…          like when it said i had a walnut sized brain tumor, however, an MRI showed it was a    glitch in the film.
So the PET/CT scan were accurate and more sensitive to the CT scan or MRI?
I think it is another one of those things that just depends! In my case, I have had 2 PET scans and found them pretty useless. Nothing lit up (and it should have, I had an active, aggressive recurrence) and it wasn’t useful for comparing sizes to previous CT’s. CTs and MRIs are ‘area specific’… where pet/CT goes from about the nose down to the knees, as a rule.
I know the difference.. I’m looking to see if they are an effective diagnostic with LMS.. They have a lot of radiation and are expensive.. Are they worth it? So far some light up  and others do not. My lung met did not light up., it flickered a little.
I thought they were less radioactive than the normal CT or MRI! because that is how some bone tumor was found, and in spite of my big brain scare/false positive, I have a pet/CT ck up and six months later I have an all CT ck up.

FAQ: Radiation Risk From Medical Imaging
I think there is not a single right answer to your question. It truly depends on the part        of the body you are screening. You may well be better off with an MRI of the target area. Hard line to walk as in that instance, it may be easier to get insurance to cover a full body PET than a series of MRIs.
No matter what you get done… go to the best imaging facility possible. They’ll have the latest machines (less radiation) and hopefully better skilled technicians. I would always associated a PET with “lighting up” problem areas that may need further evaluation. As           I would associate a CT or an MRI as screening a particular / problem area with much greater detail than a PET.
PET is an indicator … I don’t think it is the be all and end all. That’s just my opinion… can see by the responses they worked for some and not for others. I think you can’t beat good old vigilance… check for lumps, be aware of sensations, use all the tools at your disposal at some point or another judiciously and wisely. Maybe consider some radiation “cleansing” foods or methods in your plan.
Thanks for sharing the info but I knew that.. I’m trying to find out the accuracy with LMS.. So far they do not appear to have good accuracy. Why bother with the cost and radiation exposure.. stick with the CT and MRI.. Last thing we need is extra radiation and From what I have heard so far the PET/CT is unreliable.
So your advantage is it “might” show microscopic cells. And it might not and a week later they could start.  Everything is at a point in time.  If you wanted a full body check to decide chemo or radiation or nothing…. Maybe ok. If your looking for precision… CT scan or MRI depending on body area know your best treatment options yourself.

         What I am finding so difficult in this cancer journey. . . . is the feeling that I am right in choosing something other than western medicine. I feel like:  I spend a good deal of my  time convincing people, justifying my choices. I know in my heart and in my gut Hoxsey   is right for me.  It just feels so ridiculous to me that choosing an option  that won’t leave  me hurting is so hard for people to understand. The doctor here has said that he believes that 6 weeks of radiation wi…ll be enough to treat this.  So here’s my theory, if I could go and deal with this “easily” in six weeks with radiation  because it will apparently respond well to radiation; then why do people scoff when I believe whole heartedly Hoxsey will be able to help just as easily?

Why do people think it’s ok for a 37 year old mom of four to radiate the heck out of her throat to the point of not being able to eat, potential for secondary cancers and potentially turning my vocal chords to leather – seems like a better option than changing my diet, and jumping all in to a holistic approach? Doesn’t this seem backwards?

My oncologist just told me this is the most important decision I’ll ever make in my life.        I agree. My life is important. Residual effects are not what I’m looking for in my cancer care. I get to finally come to Hoxsey July 9th and this trip can’t come soon enough.

I need to hear what the Hoxsey doctors say so I can truly feel like I’ve got this with support. Sorry for the rant guys. Apparently I had a lot to say and that is to always         trust your gut, it never lies. Only do what you think is best for you. Ask you friends         and family to please respect my wishes and support me.

Sending Y’all Prayers, Healing Energy, Peace & LOVE BLESSINGS LIGHT
LOVE – Unconditional love
BLESSINGS – Abundant Blessings
LIGHT – Remember the light from which we came & will return to
WE ARE ONE !!! As told by members of a Hoxsey Facebook Group 🙂

The doctors in Mexico doesn’t believe in radiation, and a friend said 2 well-known integrative oncologists told her radiation leads to inflammation and inflammation        leads to cancer. Too many bad side effects from radiation. I read where people got   radiated on their breast and it permanently damaged their heart. It’s ok to feel all             the different emotions you have.

Trust yourself only you live in your body and know what’s best for it. Everybody else thought I should stay here & have chemo. I had an amazingly positive experience in Mexico and do not regret my decision. For once I followed my gut and didn’t let the     dollar be my deciding factor. Good luck and hugs in your decision
You are 100% making the right decision to go to the clinic!! What I feel about those        who ridicule or have opinions: when they are in my same shoes, then they can possibly offer an opinion….until then, it is up to the patient and the family only.

Be strong and do not let others influence you, unless they are supportive of YOU!!!
Do not feel bad for your choices. Don’t let the words “oh your doing that discourage     you.” If I would have my hubands wouldn’t be cancer free.

What he had before Hoxsey was grade three follicular lymphoma and after a stem            cell transplant it spread all over his stomach to stage 4 after a stem cell procedure and after he started Hoxsey he started to come back to life in 3 months.  With his hair was growing back,  the color of his cheeks that were ash gray  became normal again. When other People see that it helped him to heal. . . they will want you to tell your story. .  so        it can help others they know. Now that his family. . .are all on Hoxsey train. . .as is the oncologist that told him he would die if he went holistic?

Hoxseybiomedical is the best place to be. Just follow their instructions. I love them and support holistic healing percent !!! People don’t know what they are talking about cause these western medicine doctors  have them brainwashed. As We took a leap of faith and I’m blessed we did. I have my husband back to normal, healthy and cancer free thanks       to the Grace from God #Hoxseybiomedical  🙂

Western medicine is failing people everyday. S0 You are doing the right thing going to   Hoxsey first. You can always go back and do radiation later if Hoxsey doesn’t get results for you. It’s not easy going against the status quo and you have to Stay strong — Follow your heart and your gut!
I don’t really talk to anyone about it.  Because of the negativity. Ones I did mention it to      I got responses like are you sure you want to do that?  My surgeon Yes I was cut. Said that   I need to chemo and radiation. Told me that I better go to Disneyland now because I won’t be here in two years! He also said don’t you want to see your grand children get married?

I told my if I was going to make this discussion that I don’t want to be scared into it.        He said I’m not trying to scare you… so after that there are a few close friends that know but that is all.  If anyone asks about losing weight  or not being able to eat certain things.     I tell them that I’m taking medication and there’s certain foods I cannot eat along with it.
Good luck in your journey. Hoxsey is a wonderful place and good people.

Follow your heart. Do what is right for you!

Some people will disagree with you on everything. You’ve done your research. So Focus on healing your cancer. Follow your gut! Do what’s right for you. Doctors are trained to scare-you into their treatment. Do what’s best for you. God is with you and he will help you!

Also at Hoxsey Clinic in Tijuana they use 2 new supplements that are combined in your protocol….Modified Citrus Pectin & IP6+Inositol.  When it comes to MCP, Econugenics     is the only scientifically studied brand of MCP that is clinically proven to inhibit cancer.

PectaSol-C Modified Citrus Pectin
I would stick with what the clinic recommends. Cheaper brands may have fillers, etc.     that may not be ideal for the treatment.
Betsy Lewis oh I don’t mean cheaper brands! I mean getting the exact same product      from a different supplier with a lower price.
Avemar is a great example. The first time I ordered from the company the clinic told       me about (in the US) & paid MUCH more than
if I had ordered it on eBay directly from Hungary. It’s exactly the same product.                But the supplier in the US has a markup on it, of course.
Yes I use Pecta Sol C found on Amazon. Developed by a Dr. And it has studies behind it. Prevents metastasis. Same brand noted above.
I use it also – buy the lime infused it seems to dissolve better if you opt for the powder form.
Had a consultation with Dr. Isaac Eliaz, who was the original doc who developed this under his Econugenics brand. A wonderful, smart man!
you mean the lime flavor dissolves better than the other flavor? Is it really thick? Hard to drink?
I find it easier to take capsules than powdered drinks, but I think the powder probably gets into the body quicker.
yes, lime seems to dissolve quicker. put in room temp or slightly warm to get it to dissolve faster.
I usually put it all in a glass and stir several times, a couple of minutes apart. Once dissolved, easy to drink, not thick at all.
When I saw Dr. Eliaz, he prescribed powder form for me. The other flavor is bland, some people don’t like it.
Lime has stevia in it, which I am not crazy about, but at least the lime is more palatable.
My Rx….  is 1/5 scoops twice daily, once on getting up and last before bedtime.
Because I still have “plain” favor left, I use 1 scoop plain and 1/2 scoop lime – it still has the lime flavor, but less of the stevia hit.

At my last visit Dr. Giovanna recommended I add MCP to the IP6 I am taking.
She gave me a phone number to call and price check.
But when I looked on Amazon and Vitacost MCP was super expensive! I purchased some from
Vitacost but it’s like 1/16th the dose. Is PectaSol the brand Hoxsey recommends? Which bottle is recommended?
My dr said the brand wasn’t important as long as I felt like it was a good supplement, but based on Cassie’s comment above,
I ordered the EcoNugenics PectaSol. I ordered it from vitacost.
Thanks! Looks like it is around $100 a month?

What is IP6?
IP6 (Inositol Hexaphosphate) is a naturally occurring compound found primarily in   grains and legumes. The health benefits of a diet high in fiber… seem to be due to the high levels of IP6 in the fiber. Purified IP6 offers several advantages over dietary IP-6. Its rapid absorption compared to dietary IP6 ensures much superior bio availability. This in turn exerts significant benefits to the support of the immune system.

Several researchers theorized that when Inositol was properly combined with IP6, it formed two molecules of IP3 in the body through dephosphorylation. Although IP6 gets   all the attention, it is really the IP3 that is doing all the work. IP3 plays an important role in cells by helping them grow, mature, replicate and communicate with other cells. Cells that are low in IP3 can become out of control,  dividing uncontrollably.  Studies confirm that the combination of IP6 with Inositol yields much greater effects than IP6 alone.

***UPDATE***

What is Avemar?
So…Avemar was just added to my protocol. I have a wheat intolerance. Anyone else taking Avemar with a wheat intolerance? If so, do you do OK with it?
I am SO totally willing to take whatever they tell me. However, if the Avemar affects my body (inflammation & digestive issues),
I’m not sure that it will be very effective at doing its job.
What is the Avemar is good for?
This from the Dr at BMC… “It’s comparable to high dose Vitamin C. It helps to strengthen your immune system and kill cancer cells.”

I recently read a discussion between people from all over the world about wheat sensitivities and the consensus was that it’s very
likely most of the people are actually having symptoms from the chemicals sprayed on     the wheat and not the wheat itself.
100% of the people from Europe could eat bread made over there but could eat it when they came to USA.
I also just learned that only the wheat kernel had the gluten not the wheatgrass.
So I guess it depends on the source of wheat and what part of the plant they make it out of. Just food for thought and discussion.
Very good point. A healer I’m working with told me this yesterday.
She can eat wheat in Europe but not in the US & it’s because of the chemicals they use here. :-//
Yes. I’ve heard it said a lot recently that people are not “gluten intolerant” but “Round-Up (Glyphosate) intolerant”….Monsanto just got an indictment. I just looked it up… after reading this, why aren’t we all on it? I can’t see any reason why it wouldn’t be beneficial to everyone with cancer.

What’s the best brand to get?
Laura Bose-Veisseh Kimberly this is the brand that the clinic told me to buy.
It’s my understanding there are some knock-off brands in the US. http://www.awgena.com/

I’m gonna ask the clinic why I’m not on it. you can buy it on Ebay much cheaper than the dealer that Hoxsey sends you to.
Check it out and pay less for same product. But I understand there are knock-offs of the original product. I don’t want the wheat grown in the US. :-//
I totally trust the Drs at the clinic & will buy the brands they recommend. I really cannot put a price on my life.
I use Ebay a lot to get better prices on brand-name stuff. Here is a link to Avemar on Ebay–(shipped from Hungary).
Just for information AND you can always pay more on Ebay too ! so you want to do your homework — always check
the seller’s standing but that is shown right on the page under “Seller Information…

Let Go and Let God handle it!!
What a perfect timely message when doubt and fear are creeping in the shadows. Listening to the moans of pain and the temperature of a loved one rising and the “lump” growing ever bigger and painful yet remaining steadfast and calm in what we see with our eyes. Confident. Confidence in God and that knowing in our weakness HE is made strong. Hebrews 11 Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses]. 2 For by this [kind of] faith the [a]men of old gained [divine] approval. Thank you, Lance, for this very timely reminder. God speed. Oldest patient on Hoxsey Facebook Group Page!!!

Lowell Picklyk Probably because this version is in the closed group. As soon as Lance puts it in their YouTube channel it becomes publicly available, if it’s going to be made public.

Hope you are well! See you in June!
Hope is abundant at Hoxsey Biomedical Center in Tijuana.
I want to share something with you. Lance Jordan is a health & wellness advocate and coach.  I began adamantly studying health 7 years ago  when my mother passed away of Alzheimer’s disease in 2013 my desire for information increased tenfold.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t until after she had passed that I began investigating why her  brain had deteriorated at an accelerated pace at such a young age (69).  My sister and I were told that my mother’s condition could only be treated with palliative care and that nothing could stop the progression of the disease. They were wrong.  Through my search    I discovered she had actually died of malnutrition  and there were many things we could have done had we known.

Soon after Mom’s death I had several friends being affected by cancer and over the          last several years. . .my focus has organically routed towards this disease. I want to make     it clear that I am not a doctor,  nor do I have any type of higher education certification in the health field. I am an independent researcher, self taught and not motivated by money. I feel fortunate that in my journey.  I have avoided being indoctrinated by any one system  or belief and have been free to peruse the truth about health.

Through my studies, conversations with doctors and patients it has become clear to me that we cannot poison a body back to health. You should know that I can say with absolute confidence.

A body struggling with cancer can be healed without the wrath & disfigurement of chemo, radiation and surgery.  I say this because I have met so many that have conquered cancer naturally  and the only side effects were better health.  Many of these people were told by their own western medicine physicians that they had less than a month to live!

Lance Jordan states: A couple of years ago I investigated a “Cancer Clinic” in Tijuana     and was overwhelmed at the amount of hope, care and personal attention that was being given at this particular facility. The clinic is called The Biomedical Center (BMC) but most people still call it Hoxsey,  after Harry Hoxsey,  the man that founded the protocol in the early 1900’s. I began interviewing patients about their journeys and have posted many of these interviews (with the patient’s permission) on my YouTube channel, Bonita Wellness.

Originally my sincerer hope was that these videos would reach my friends and help them gain confidence to look at natural options to treat their condition. Unfortunately very few of my friends took what I was doing to heart. But fortunately and unexpectedly. . .I began receiving calls from around the world with the YouTube exposure.

I am now contacted by people from every continent of the world on a daily basis with questions about the Biomedical Center in Tijuana.  It gives me great pleasure to lift a person’s spirits and encourage them to rebuild their body at cellular level in an effort         to reverse cancer and many other degenerative conditions.

All of the clinics you speak to in Tijuana will know of Hoxsey (Biomedical Center) as they were the first to set up shop across the border in 1963. Very few, if any, will have anything negative to say about BioMedical Center as it is a protocol. . .that has been proven to work for over 100 years. The BMC has been quietly healing bodies in crises in Tijuana for over fifty years and they have never advertised, yet their waiting room is rarely empty.

I recommend  anyone investigating alternative treatments in Tijuana search YouTube      for a documentary about the clinic called “The Quack Who Cured Cancer” to learn the     full history of Hoxsey.

A day at the clinic.

The Biomedical Center handles all patients in one day.

The patient can be assessed using blood tests, scans, x-rays and ultrasounds performed at the clinic or the doctors can pursue their recommendations using the patient’s most recent medical documentation acquired at home. The consultation is about fifty minutes long and all questions are answered.

The patients are sent home with Hoxsey Tonic, a mixture of herbs and minerals that was created over a century ago in the United States and has remained effective and unchanged. The patient will also leave with some supplements provided by the clinic and prescriptions and suggestions to purchase other nutritional products from outside of the clinic. Patients can also sit in on a brief and simple lecture about diet changes.

There are just a few diet restrictions that absolutely must be followed; no alcohol, no tomatoes, no vinegar and no pork. There are also other suggestions to make the treatment more effective that are discussed during the lecture.  A patient can expect to pay anywhere from $1500 – $2500 (US dollars) and asked to return in three to six months. Patients must arrive at the clinic before 9AM Monday through Friday and can expect. . .to be back across the border around 5PM, sometimes earlier, but plan for a full day. There is also a cafeteria on the property that serves breakfast and lunch for a minimal charge.

I believe a day at the Biomedical Clinic (Hoxsey) in Tijuana is nearly as powerful as the protocol they provide. Often patients arrive deflated and hopeless due to dismal diagnosis they have received in their own countries. In the waiting room you will find two patient registries filled with voluntary entries starting in 1998. One of my favorite down time activities is to sit and read all of the positive comments. During the day the patients connect with other patients exchanging information and often trade phone numbers while planning and coordinating their follow up visits to be reunited with new friends. Most feel empowered and leave beaming with enthusiasm. My nick name for the Biomedical Center is HOPE ON THE HILL, I can assure you there is nothing like it on earth.

I do not work for the Biomedical Center in Tijuana. I am passionate about what they         do and am addicted to watching people defy the odds and live beyond expectations.              I am available to answer or help find answers for those searching.

I’ve have known about Hoxsey Biomed. my whole life. Friends and family have been – all     still alive. 🙂 My mom even went once, they kindly told her, “Dear,  you don’t have cancer, you can go home”.  So I know how honest Biomed is.  So, I was diagnosed a few weeks ago. Grade one endometrial cancer, and I was given my indoctrination – by the Cancer Agency.   It is such a money and soul sucker…..sorry,  I can’t think of better words.  Other facilities Have Big beautiful buildings.
Other places always has their hands out – give, give, give. Good and kind people donate, and “run” for cancer. But it’s a big black hole.  🙁 I just can not and will not support them.  I have to think and do for myself. I will not “listen” to the “wise” doctor. I have experience, the ability to do research, and make my own decision.  In the end, I am responsible for my own health and no one else.

Denzil was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma 30 years ago. Through three decades she has been handling cancer diagnosis with a tenacity and divine spirit that       the world should hear.  I was fortunate enough  to befriend Denzil  and her husband, Donkey, at the Hoxsey clinic in Tijuana. Several months later I was able to interview Denzil in Auckland, New Zealand. Enjoy.

Getting there:
planning your check up visit to BMC. If I stay in San Diego, how long does it take               to cross the border to and back from Tijuana?
Can I take an Uber from San Diego to cross the border to Tijuana and vice verse?
Lance Jordan is definitely the man in the know for crossing to the BMC.
You can stay at Best Western Americana Inn.
Call to make reservation or make reservation online and ask for the clinic rate                     (I think less than $130)
which includes free shuttle to/from BMC. The shuttle to the border is about                        10-15 mins, then another 5-10 mins from border to BMC;
however, it could take longer time going back as there may be traffic at the                   border in the afternoon.
You can take Uber to/from San Diego airport to Best Western Americana Inn.                       I did it twice myself.

Here’s the address:
815 W San Ysidro Blvd, San Diego, CA 92173
(619) 428-5521
https://goo.gl/maps/GrD92v71VfRm1ytU6
Since the shuttle buses from Best Americana and Lance have medical passes,
it is better to use their service, otherwise you will spend hours at the border on                  the way back.
Check with Lance at Bonita Wellness to shuttle you from San Diego to Tijuana
Lance or Best Western Americana shuttle are the easiest/best ways to get there.
Grimes James I stayed at the Hotel Pueblo Amigo in Tijuana.
https://www.hotelpuebloamigo.com/es/
It is cheaper than the Best Western Americana (where I always stayed at).
It is a five star hotel. It is a wonderful experience.
It didn’t take but a few minutes to cross the border both ways.
You will not be disappointed idle you stay there!
Janet DeGruttola Lancaster Grimes James Did you walk over|take a cab in TJ?
Grimes James Janet DeGruttola Lancaster, we drove over. Very easy.
The hotel provided free shuttle service too.
