Cancer

[Guest guest]

DEar Floyd,

The late Linus ing, (winner of 2 nobel prizes)

wrote a bookcalled something like " Vitamin C and

Cancer " .

He gave as much vitamin C as the person could take 40

or 50 grams a day.

He even gave it in an IV direct into the blood.

There is a place on the web you can buy pure crystal

vitamin C powder at :

http://www.nutri.com

I buy it therefor a different reason.

Dear Floyd,

You need cleansing and nutrition.

The strongest cleansing is a liver cleanse followed by

ozone sauna treatments, supplemented with Essiac tea.

The best nutrition is aloe vera, B vitamins (especially inositol)

and immune stimulators MGN-3, whey powder, Modufilan and others.

Where do you live?

Best of Health!

Dear Floyd,

Here's a site that describes the " Incurables Rescue Program " .

It's a pretty drastic program of raw food diet and cleanses, but

perhaps you have reached that crossroads.

Good fortune to you...

Dr Saul Pressman

Thanks for your response. I live in the Atlanta area - Peachtree City, to be

more specific. I currently use among others, MGN-3, Ellagic acid, aloe vera

(about 8 oz per day in divided doses) I had thought about whey powder but not

familiar with Modufilan. I will research further. Again, many thanks

Cancer cells can ONLY survive in an anaerobic cell. If your cells are

highly oxygenated, regardless of genetics and family history, you cannot get

cancer. Impossible. Most people are acidic and therefore their cells are

lacking in oxygen. Toxins, etc. contribute to furthering the disposition

towards cancer, but it's because they drive the oxygen out of your cells

thereby allowing the cellular mutations to happen. Otto Warburg discoved

this in the 1930's and received two nobel prizes for his discovery. No need

to go into why the medicals don't treat people with inexpensive products

that will alkalize the body and increase the retention of oxygen in the

cells. They'd be out of business, people would be healthy, and there would

be no need for the cut, burn and poison therapies that are killing far more

people than they are helping.

An excellent website for some rather informative reading is at

www.polymva.com . There's a comparison between healthy therapies, and

chemo. Rather startling findings if you're not informed of the

alternatives.

Mother Nature is by far the best Doctor around. Dr. Linus ing stated

that " Every sickness can be traced to a mineral deficiency. " Minerals are

what keeps your cells alkaline. Keep your cells alkaline, and cancer cannot

harm you.

About the use of vitamin C against cancer ...

Since the Linus ing's works (he was a Nobel Prize), we know that

ascorbic acid had a cytotoxic effect. It has been shown recently

that, to have a concentration high enough in the blood of vitamin C

to have it being cytotoxic (against cancerous cells), it was

mandatory to have it injected directly through the veins.

I can report here teh case of my little boy, andre ; andre

was dying of neuroblastoma stage IV (cancer of the nervous system),

and our onc team, here in France, agreed (thanks a lot to them) to

have him get daily intraveinous vitamin C ; we started that very

late, and we managed to have him get 30 grams per day, at a speed of

1 gram per minute (speed is important too, because vitamin C is

metabolized very quickly, so, to have it present in high

concentrations, you need to inject it very quickly too), only in

June. At that point, we now know his cancer was everywhere, and his

liver was completely taken ; but, even with that, andre stopped

having bone pains (he was not needing morphine any more), and his

blood counts went up (signs that his marrow was starting to function

again).

I am not saying this is THE remedy ... I am just saying it helps a

lot, and that I am very sad to see that no laboratory is interested

in it (no possibility of earning money from it, it's public !) and

that the governement is not interested too ... So, who is going to do

anything ? I don't know if my son could have been saved, but what I

know is that, at least, he had a decent end, being able to enjoy

life, painless.

There are a few doctors researching this topic in the US, Dr Riordan,

and Dr Cathcart (who has helped us so much), and a Dr in Canada as

well. They are treating lots of infections with vitamin C injections,

and it seems to work well.

Last point : as a mother who has seen her child go through

chemotherapy, radiotherapy, bone marrow transplant ... let me say

that a product who has no side effect like vitamin C is a gift from God.

In a way you are doing that right now. No one knows how much time a

person has left to live. No, I take that back. Only the executioner

smugly has that knowledge. So many people think of physicians as

gods that it is then only human nature for many physicians to think

of themselves as omniscient. Fawning pharmaceutical reps add icing

to the cake. The patient - physician relationship eventuates into an

implicit contract to create a self-fulfilling prophesy. The

authority, the priest-physician, deigns to allow six months more of

life. The patient-supplicant gratefully and dutifully complies and

dies in six months. This reinforces the physician-priest's

self-acknowledgement that he/she can ordain the future.

This squirrelly little system has thousands of years of evolution

propelling it and it won't soon change. It does break down when the

physician tries to pit his God-power against the forces of

nature. Why do you think so many physician-pilots end up dead? Too

often the angel-physician thinks he can fly in a rain storm. I do

think that we would have a much better planet if all western

physicians were encouraged to fly into rain storms. I used to be an

atheist but only a True God could dream up that glorified rat trap --

the rain storm.

Enough venting for today. To answer the question: six months left

to live is stating that this is terminal cancer. There are many

possible chronic and acute situations that can arise that can kill

your friend quite rapidly. This includes deep vein thrombosis with

pulmonary emboli, cachexia, pneumonia/septicemia, ascites and/or

pulmonary effusion. You can also factor in the devastating effects of

chemotherapy, that, combined with pain, sap the will to live. One

oncologist told me that the reason coffin lids are nailed shut is to

prevent oncologists from giving more chemo.

The single most important medicine your friend needs is the rejection

of the notion that he is dying -- at least right away. If the

conventional guy told him that he is a lost cause, then by all means

he should dump the guy and find an advisor who has experience at

winning difficult cases.

[Guest guest]

Just a simple reply: it is never too late to seek a NEW treatment, meditate, be

positive and grab every minute you can from life. It is never too late for

HOPE. If a doctor (yes, many of them have god complexes and truly look at you

as a statistic, not a person,) go to a different physician. My family travelled

to Texas to the MD Hospital in Houston. They were treated like old

friends and were given amazing doses of HOPE. When they came back to Boston,

they were able to find a wonderful oncologist who is empathetic and was willing

to work IN PARTNERSHIP with the doctor at MD .

As we all know, death often happens to very healthy people with no warning.

Tell your friend to believe in miracles.......no.....to " Rely Upon Them. "

Please give me a call i have included the story of my son who was diagnoised in

1991 with terminal brain cancer and given only 3 months to live. please call me

ASAP at: 269-876-8475 anytime do not worry about any time difference.

OVERVIEW

In November 1990, Virginia Hauf’s son, Steve, complains of double vision. An

ophthalmologist examines Steve, but finds no problems with his eyes. Further

tests are given to determine the cause of the trouble, and doctors find a tumor

at the base of Steve’s brain; the tumor proves to be cancerous. The doctors

decide to perform surgery, which runs the risk of paralyzing him for life. When

they go in to remove the tumor, they find two masses, one of which has invaded

his brain stem and is inoperable. Tissue samples are sent to the Mayo Clinic;

the tumors are fast-growing and incurable. With the exception of experimental

radiation and chemotherapy—which would likely only extend Steve’s life by thirty

days—the doctors can offer nothing. They estimate he has about three months to

live and send him home with his mother, telling her to cherish the time he has

left. Virginia is notified that the man she has been having a relationship with

has been involved in a murder and has

taken his own life as well.

Needless to say, Steve’s family is devastated; Virginia, determined not to let

her son die, begins doing research. She discovers that the type of chemotherapy

offered to Steve will not pass the blood–brain barrier and is therefore useless;

radiation would only incapacitate him. Virginia presses on.

She recalls a family friend once telling her that nature held a cure for every

disease, so she goes to the library to research Laetrile, a controversial cancer

treatment unavailable in the United States and labeled “quackery” by the

American Cancer Society in the early 1970s. In a book published during that

time, Virginia finds a listing of a doctor who uses Laetrile in his treatments;

she locates his clinic in Mexico and decides to bring Steve there.

Because Steve’s treatment is unconventional, Virginia’s health insurance will

not cover any of its cost; she’s on her own. A single parent, she finds it

difficult to procure the money she needs to fund Steve’s treatment, which

includes injections of a Laetrile-based serum, vitamins, and a macrobiotic diet.

Her family assists them and Steve’s school runs a fundraiser. Amazingly, many

people rally to their side, and Virginia and Steve manage to gather enough money

to pay for treatment. They spend six surreal weeks at a Mexican clinic where

they are in the company of a cosmetic mogul, an editor of fitness magazine, and

a U.S. senator and his son—all of whom are receiving care.

Following therapy in Mexico, Virginia takes Steve for an MRI and finds that

his tumor is shrinking. But soon after, she is arrested for child abuse, child

neglect, child endangerment, mail fraud, and wire fraud. She has been issued a

summons to testify at a childhood classmate’s murder trial, a serial killer.

After being threatened, losing her job, and being contacted by hundreds of

families seeking advice and similar treatment, Virginia has decided to share her

story in this 75,000-word manuscript, Saving My Son: Surviving Cancer.

Virginia’s son, Steve, is 28 now and has been cancer-free for 12 years.

MARKET ANALYSIS

Target Audience

Saving My Son: Surviving Cancer tells the story of millions suffering cancer

for which there isn’t a cure or effective treatment. The book is written to

appeal to those afflicted by the disease, family members and friends, and

interested readers who may not have any experience with cancer survival. The

book will also interest health care providers and those working directly with

cancer patients.

Anyone who has been in the position of seeking treatment for cancer will find

a familiar and inspiring perspective in this narrative. The author has lived

through the terror, the limits of our health-care system and available cancer

treatments, the politics and controversy, and has found, in the end, the gift of

survival.

Sales figures on books about cancer survival and alternative treatments,

especially those written as narrative nonfiction, show that a strong readership

exists for this book.

CHAPTER SUMMARIES

PROLOGUE

CHAPTER 1

Virginia and her son, Steve, are at the Immune Augmentive Treatment Center in

Playas de Tijuana, Mexico. Steve isn’t aware that he was given a prognosis by

U.S. doctors that he has three months to live. Virginia has researched this

clinic and its therapies and decided on an alternative and controversial

treatment for Steve’s cancer. This is the most difficult decision Virginia has

ever had to make. The reader is drawn into the surreal scene at the Tijuana

clinic and the strange workings of a medical system providing treatment that is

banned in the U.S.

CHAPTER 2

Treatments available in the United States have failed Steve. The author

describes what sent her researching alternative treatments for her son. From his

diagnosis to his prognosis of three months to live, the author feels she has

been offered little hope and details her reasons for bringing her son to Mexico.

CHAPTER 3

The author describes what is involved in Steve’s treatment at the Mexican

clinic, where she and her son spend six weeks. She is both surprised and

comforted by the presence of prominent Americans at the clinic, among them a

U.S. senator and his son, an editor of a popular fitness magazine, and a

cosmetics mogul. Steve’s condition begins to improve dramatically. For the first

time, there is hope.

CHAPTER 4

Life for Virginia and her son has been going surprisingly well. However, they

encounter an abrupt change when they attempt to cross the border back into the

United States with Steve’s serum. From there on, questions begin, hundreds of

calls come in to Virginia’s home from cancer sufferers all over the world,

including one from the royal Saudi family, as well as the media.

CHAPTER 5

Virginia takes Steve back to his regular doctor in the U.S. for an MRI. The

medical team conducting the exam is confused. The tests show that Steve’s tumor

has shrunk significantly. They test Steve again, this time with a different

machine (believing the first one wasn’t operating properly), but obtain the same

results. They ask Virginia about Steve regimen, then tell her, “just keep doing

what you’re doing.”

Virginia meets with Steve’s surgeon, who believes the shrinkage is due to

spontaneous remission, and therefore that his improvement won’t continue. She

explains that Steve has been receiving specialized treatment in Mexico. The

surgeon warns Virginia that Laetrile a waste of her money and time.

CHAPTER 6

Virginia is forced to resign from her job. She has faced enormous financial

obstacles as a single parent. Steve’s treatment has been miraculous, but their

relationship is strained. Steve no longer wants to maintain his rigid diet or

take daily injections of the serum; he wants to be a normal teenager again.

Virginia must learn to trust that Steve’s recovery is going to last and begin to

find ways to return to their lives.

CHAPTER 7

Shortly after her visit with Steve’s surgeon, a warrant is issued for

Virginia’s arrest on counts of child abuse, child neglect, child endangerment,

mail fraud, and wire fraud. Virginia talks with her attorney and a plea bargain

is offered, but Virginia refuses to make a deal.

CHAPTER 8

Before turning herself in, Virginia begins receiving threats at her home,

takes part in a fundraiser that goes bad, and makes an emergency trip to Mexico

after a scare that the FDA is going to shut down the Immune Augmentive Therapy

Clinic. The clinic must keep moving to hidden locations, but it keeps Virginia

informed of its whereabouts. At the same time Virginia turns herself in, U.S.

authorities arrest the Mexican doctor who has been treating Steve.

CHAPTER 9

The charges against Virginia are dropped; she is encouraged to refrain from

talking to the press about Steve’s story. She defiantly continues to accept

calls from people all around the world seeking help.

CHAPTER 10

Over the course of five years, Steve continues to undergo MRIs. The tumor is

still shrinking and, in 1993, only scar tissue is left. He is proclaimed free

from his cancer.

Life returns to normal. Steve goes off to college and gets married; Virginia

returns to school as well. She and Steve find their way back to trusting in the

future, and making peace with the past.

POSTSCRIPT

The author reflects on the decisions she was forced to make to save her son’s

life. She comments on the current state of available cancer treatments in the

U.S. and describes how Steve is doing today.

In a way you are doing that right now. No one knows how much time a

person has left to live. No, I take that back. Only the executioner

smugly has that knowledge. So many people think of physicians as

gods that it is then only human nature for many physicians to think

of themselves as omniscient. Fawning pharmaceutical reps add icing

to the cake. The patient - physician relationship eventuates into an

implicit contract to create a self-fulfilling prophesy. The

authority, the priest-physician, deigns to allow six months more of

life. The patient-supplicant gratefully and dutifully complies and

dies in six months. This reinforces the physician-priest's

self-acknowledgement that he/she can ordain the future.

This squirrelly little system has thousands of years of evolution

propelling it and it won't soon change. It does break down when the

physician tries to pit his God-power against the forces of

nature. Why do you think so many physician-pilots end up dead? Too

often the angel-physician thinks he can fly in a rain storm. I do

think that we would have a much better planet if all western

physicians were encouraged to fly into rain storms. I used to be an

atheist but only a True God could dream up that glorified rat trap --

the rain storm.

Enough venting for today. To answer the question: six months left

to live is stating that this is terminal cancer. There are many

possible chronic and acute situations that can arise that can kill

your friend quite rapidly. This includes deep vein thrombosis with

pulmonary emboli, cachexia, pneumonia/septicemia, ascites and/or

pulmonary effusion. You can also factor in the devastating effects of

chemotherapy, that, combined with pain, sap the will to live. One

oncologist told me that the reason coffin lids are nailed shut is to

prevent oncologists from giving more chemo.

The single most important medicine your friend needs is the rejection

of the notion that he is dying -- at least right away. If the

conventional guy told him that he is a lost cause, then by all means

he should dump the guy and find an advisor who has experience at

winning difficult cases.

No, I don't have cancer. I'm in here due to Celiac and PTSD. I just lost my mom to cancer on 2/20/06. I do know how bad it is. I completely understand about losing your sense of humor. I almost died in Jan. because my liver and intestines were severly damaged. The drs didn't even know why I was so sick. I'm 5' 1" and dropped down to 78 lb. These physical ailments really suck! Try to enjoy your weekend. Do you have friends you can visit with or call on the phone? When I was bedridden for almost 2 months, I had a friend from church calling me a couple times a day to check up on me. She too is very sick with so many things going on with her, I can't remember them all... a few of them are auto immune diseases though. Just talking to her everyday was uplifting and really helped me.

I have my bad days when I am enraged...I guess I always am at some level. And believe me, it was 2 weeks after I was robbed with a gun put to my head that I read that I may have a brain tumor!

I decided I could spend all of my time in a rage and never really do anything with the time I have left, or go out an try to make the very best of what time I do have.

[Guest guest]

Thank you so much for answering me !!! I thought I had done something wrong - I'm new at this chat, group thing. I was taking things pretty well, too, I thought. I guess I was still numb from the death of my boy (man?) friend of 12 years. I got past the shotgun in my face when the little diner (where the cook and I were the whole midnight crew) was robbed. That was back in '89, while my ex-husband had stolen our kids from me and I was fighting for custody in another state. But, that's another story. Then there's the one about why I left him in the 1st place - I refused to allow him to abuse our children the way I had been abused when I was a kid. I had put 99% of me into raising the kids - the social workers wasted no time letting me know that the odds were totally against me

- if you were abused, you would abuse. Well, I was and I didn't and I was ***$#**** if I was going to let their father do it either! Anyway, I had put off any other personal goals till my kids were grown since it seemed I was on my own in that regard. No regrets! I love them and the kids they all brought home with them. I must admit that by the time my youngest approached 18 I was thinking about doing some things on my own. Silly me! Hepatitis!!!!-no not C, Okay, how did I get it, doc? What do you do at work? I cook (who knew I was learning a trade when I started helping in the kitchen at 5?). Well, there you go! Raw vegetables can be lethal when not properly cleaned and that is the 1 of the 1st jobs you delegate to a new recruit! My immune system had never been what it should have been anyway, and I nearly

died. Needless to say, I have become compulsive about washing my hands! The ensuing encephalopathy left me with peripheral neuropathy and intense pain in places where they insisted there were no pain receptors! not to mention the fog in my head! I have various other physical problems and I can throw in PTSD and Bipolar disorder, while I'm at it. I had just gotten well enough to have started school again (at 53!) Six months later my sweetheart of the last 12 years passed away in his sleep of a heart attack. 2 weeks later my doctor finally tracked me down (that was a switch!) and told me I needed to get in there and I was off on another roller coaster!!! Cancer. the "c" word. I was doing okay at first - there were so many tests and so many specialists and the brachioscopy/mediastinaloscopy and biopsy - no time to really think and I was still numb from losing Bill.

I am truly sorry for your loss. I just lost someone very important

to me, also. I also have had more than my fair share of illnesses

already. But, they never said it would be fair, did they? Well,

yeah, sort of, with all those fairy tales and the stuff they taught

us when we were little --- where the heck is my fairy-godmother,

anyway? As usual, she didn't show up to help and neither did good

ole' Prince Charming!

I do have a good friend that calls and visits when she can and I

don't think my kids really know how to handle this yet - their Mom

has always managed to figure out how to deal with everything and I

think it's just as difficult for them to fully accept that this is

one that I can't figure my way out of as it is for me!

Thank you for answering my plea for help!!! I am hoping that this

group might be a big help, and I always love to help someone else

when I can, too. Doni

Hi Doni, I'm sorry for your loss too. I couldn't imagine. I've been with my husband for 12 1/2 years. I'm sure I'd lose my sense of humor too. Now that you mentioned it, I'd like to know where my fairy godmother is as well. About your kids and cancer, give it some time. It took me and my siblings some time for the news to sink in when my parents told us about my mom. I hope you're having a pleasant, pain free day. Take care.

I am so sorry to hear of all the tragedy that you have had in your life. I am glad you are writing and please feel free to continue. I don't get on here every day as I am very busy between support groups, therapy, doctor appointments and work. Oh, I am a clinical social worker and in administration where I oversee the quality of the docs and the therapists. I think you asked me that??? I am so glad to hear that you are going to school--that is great!!! That is what it sounds like you need...some fun and some distractions! I will pray for you and I know that life is turning around for you. It may take some time, but it sounds like you are on the path. And venting, is just part of the anger stages that we all go through, so feel free. Got to go now...going to take defensive driving online tonight. Just bought a new car and need the deduction on the insurance. Do something fun for yourself tonight...even if it is just

a bubble bath!!!! Take care honey, and we are all here for you! DeborahDoni Kiernan <doninelia@...> wrote: Thank you so much for answering me !!!

Hi Cheryl, It was so nice to hear from you again. Actually pain isn't so bad today, but I feel like I was rode hard and put up wet! Sorta' like the flu, and really exhausted. The stairs are a real adventure! They kept telling me I was going to get sicker and sicker- the combination of radiation and chemo ( one of the ingredients in my chemo "soup" is really rough) is because my tumor is inoperable. It is right in the middle of my chest around my trachea. I did get some good news yesterday, though. The PET scan shows no cancer anywhere else! The doctor says it is very unusual for someone to survive 5 years with oat-cell cancer - it is the fastest moving kind. But, he also says it is very unusual to find it before it has

spread - very often by the time they find it it is too late to do anything but write your will. So maybe the 2 will balance each other out. Hey, maybe my fairy godmother is out there somewhere! I have moved around a lot, maybe she is just lost! As for the pain - it's funny but the seriousness of my situation didn't really hit me until I told the doctor about the excruciating headache and he handed me a prescription for morphine. Doctors are usually so stingy with painkillers you'd think they had to pay for them. Looks like my sense of humor is trying to make a comeback, it really does help to talk and get encouragement! Thank you

I do have a good friend that calls and visits when she can and I don't think my kids really know how to handle this yet - their Mom has always managed to figure out how to deal with everything and I think it's just as difficult for them to fully accept that this is one that I can't figure my way out of as it is for me! Thank you for answering my plea for help!!! I am hoping

that this group might be a big help, and I always love to help someone else when I can, too.
