A different approach

New poster here. Diagnosed with NHL B cell Stage III in July 2001 after having painless neck lump for several months. This rapidly followed by appearance of numerous other neck lumps, armpit lumps and abdominal lumps. Opted against having a bone marrow biopsy since it seemed to be somewhat academic at that point. Decided to do the "watch and wait" since symptoms appeared to be mostly cosmetic at that time and causing no real distress on a practical level. Fair amount of fatigue. Did begin a real clean-up of my diet and began juicing and using primarily organic foods. In February of 2003 was reaching the end of my limit regarding fatigue - working became impossible at that point. Had done substantial reading by that time and not liking much of what I found concerning conventional treatment. Was told that I would be in "real trouble" by my oncologist if I did not start chemo right away (i.e. "dead within six months). Decided to take my chances. Disease very slowly progressed after that with nodes waxing and waning in my neck and armpits primarily (when they waxed I grew a beard - when they waned I shaved). Intensified my Gerson therapy and added new supplements. Disease continued to progress until my abdomen was completely packed with tumour - around my aorta, my kidneys, my stomach. My oncologist said that I had more abdominal tumour burden than anybody he had ever seen. It literally was from sternum to pubis and from side to side. Was getting VERY difficult to even pass gas - had to roll around on the floor a lot but I managed. All the doctors pleading with me to have chemo at this point. Chemo very frightening to me because of the harm it causes to the immune system and the fact that it would probably never be quite right again. Started to take supplementation to really boost my immune system. Bought a resonance frequency machine after doing some research on these (similar to Rife machine). Within the first month of using machine this huge abdominal mass broke into pieces. Also started the Budwig protocol with intensity (flax oil/cottage cheese), got all my mercury fillings removed as well as two root canals. Also following intense organic nutritional program and some pretty heavy supplements. Well.....here's where we stand now. My abdominal tumour mass was in excess of 100 mm at one dimension. Three months ago my oncologist measured it and it was down to 27 mm. And two days ago he measured it again and it was down to 22 mm. I have not had ANY lumps in my neck, groin or armpits for well over six months now whereas I had dozens before. I am making no claims here - just an interesting story for folks to read. My GP incidentally has referred a patient to me that she could no longer help and my oncologist, who is a terrific guy, is supportive and incredulous. According to all "it just ain't supposed to happen this way". Still feel very fatigued most of the time but I believe this could be due to the tumour lysing and the body trying to discard it. Oh right - I also do 4 or 5 (minimum) coffee enemas daily to keep the toxins flushed from my liver as well as an occasional GI and gallbladder cleansing. All this stuff can be 'googled' for more information. I have regained 16 pounds in the past 6 months and I do believe I am going to be a survivor of this nasty disease. My sincere best to you all in your efforts to tame the beast.

I am glad your methods worked for you. I have not been diagnosed with anything, but I am constantly and extremely fatigued. Is there anything you suggest me taking? I on a daily basis take flax oil, viatim e, b6, b12, b complex, a & d, c, a women daily multi and a calcium. I do not like things that "stimulate" my system, I get too shakey feeling. I eat fairly healthy and exercize etc as much as I can. So, any suggestions you have would be great. My Dr. just gave me sleeping pills and said I must not be getting a full rested sleep, but I'd rather not jump right into pill popping-plus they all have capability of developing dependence. Take care, and I hope you continue to do well.

God Bless,
Danielle

Probably the best thing I can say to you is that you need to take the flax oil properly so that it can get to the cells that need it. This involves mixing it thoroughly (fully emulsified with a blender) so that there is no trace at all of the oil. This allows the oil to pass through the stomach instead of being processed as a fat. You can add fruit and some water to make like a pudding, or even some garlic, lemon, etc to make a spread for veggies and bread. I take curcumin because of all the good studies and also I take a cup a day of either strawberries, raspberries or blackberries for the ellagic acid content (just amazing study results for cancer). A good multi (make sure it has selenium in it and zinc). I also try very hard to keep my body alkaline through eating and greens supplements. The idea here is to change the environment of the body so that the cancer can't survive - or at least it can't grow. Hope this helps - Felix

Thanks for the suggestion. I will definitely try it. The flax oil tastes pretty aweful, but the garlic spread idea you have may just be tolerable. Agiain, thanks!

God Bless,
D

God bless you Felix. Good luck to you. I am very happy for you. Keep up the good work - good health to you. I am not a chemo fan myself. I was very upset that my dad has to get chemo. I am very worried. He has three more chemo rounds. I stay with him the whole time he is hooked up to those IVs. Scared to death. We have wanted to do the organic thing and juicing. It is still in my mind. When I read your e-mail I still feel that it is important to juice and do the organic thing. What do you take to boost your immune system if you don't mind me asking? My dad has b-cell lymphoma (large). They say that the gland in his neck is down and just about gone. The abdominal cysts - I don't know about those - his spleen is down. I am so worried. He seems to be doing fine though. He has lost his hair and eyelashes. I look at him and it is hard to see my strong dad become so weak but he is a fighter - an 81 year old fighter. He was working on the grass today. I am amazed at him. Even though he is weak - he keeps going. His attitude is just great!

Flax seeds, slightly cracked, seems to work better then the oil;from the different articles I have read
