===============

When Bihari recommends surgery to another doctor then you certainly

need surgery. See if your doctor will start you on 4.5mg of LDN with

Lactose or Acidophilus filler before your surgery. Dr. Bihari told

my mom that since she had been on LDN awhile prior to her lumpectomy

that any cancer cells that might have escaped during surgery were

taken care of like a pacman. Do not take your LDN the night before

your surgery nor while you are on narcotic pain meds.

January 5, 2006

If you would like some recommendations as

to support for both surgery and post surgery treatment as well as chemo and/or

radiation support if you choose to do such, drop a note and I will send some

along to you.

I am sorry he would not help you. I

personally use LDN to keep my RCC in line post remission.

If there is anything I can do for you,

please let me know.

Surgery Scheduled 1/17

Hi

everyone. Well Dr. Bihari did not come through for me after all. I

thought for sure he would encourage my Dr. to work with me in trying LDN before

going ahead with surgery. She spoke to him today and he said he could not

recommend it.

It

will be a complete hysterectomy, womb, cervix, ovaries and all. It will

be at 11AM Pacific time, Tuesday, January 17th. My wonderful friend Debby

will be there doing Reiki during the two hour procedure. We are hoping

they will allow her to be in the operating room; if not she will be nearby and

sending.

So much of

this is political. After all the encouraging information about LDN

and cancer from Dr. Bihari, it came as a shock that his brief conversation with

my doctor was so negative. I think he just can't afford to recommend

trying it and taking time to see if it has any effect on my cancer...because he

doesn't have enough statistics or FDA approval to back him up. Doctors

are very vulnerable to malpractice accusations, and usually will not make any

recommendations that could get them in trouble. In their paradigm the kind

of cancer I have is to be attacked and conquered immediately, without

delay. If they don't adhere to the going protocol they can be legally

vulnerable. I'm sure Bihari actually believes LDN could prevent me from having

surgery. But without the millions of dollar tests and FDA approval he

probably can't afford to take the risk. And therefore neither can my doctor.

Many of the patients he has tested LDN on were ones that the doctors had

already given up on. There have been many miraculous recoveries including

complete shrinking of huge tumors and total remission. But my particular

category of cancer is only one small part of this control group, whose

conditions are of a wide range of different diseases. There's not a huge

statistic yet for endometrial ardenocarcinoma.

So, even

though I am reasonably sure that LDN could remove my cancer gradually and

without surgery, there is no way I can get support for this approach in the

medical profession.

I also can't

get a second biopsy and pathology exam. My doctor said she would give me

a second biopsy for free (she is a sweetie) but that the pathologist's scrutiny

of the resulting tissue would cost me around $200, because medi-cal wouldn't

cover a second round. This would only be of use if we could postpone

surgery anyway, because 1/17 is too soon to tell.

The good

side is that Dr. Ann Marie will support me to take LDN before and after

surgery. She agrees that this with acupuncture could be a good

alternative to chemo and radiation, should any of the cancer be found in my

lymphatic system. (this gets checked during surgery). Christy, my

herbalist healer will support me in this too. So things look better for

post-op. My biggest concern for post-op is having the care and rest I

need and a reasonably non-infectious environment. I will be doing a lot

of housework between now and surgery day. Too bad I can't just rest and

pray.

And the best

part of all is the support coming from so many directions, including many

wonderful folks in the LDN community. I am so grateful. My children

will be coming to stay that week; my son is coming from overseas, my daughter

from Phoenix.

She says she has to bring her puppy with her though... oy. I hope that's

going to be ok with upstairs housemate and kitty Isha.

Thanks for

listening and caring, everyone.

Blessings,

Shekhinah

Dear Bruce,

I am always impressed by your kindness and compassion. I have missed seeing your posts lately. Glad to see your still around. Thanks

Dear Shekhinah,

As we had spoken about early on, I don't think that LDN would necessarily eradicate the cancer that you spoke about in a timely manor as to keep you from needing the surgery. I don't honestly think that Dr. Bihari is trying to cover himself in this situation. He does not appear to work that way. I think he knows that it would keep the cancer at bay post surgery, and would keep it from happening in the first place if taken as a preventative, but strengthening the immune system may not be enough once a cancer is very well established and in need of surgery. If you have small amounts of cancer (which we all do) having a strong immune system will take care of the bad cells. I am glad that you will be taking LDN for post surgery. It is a great way to go.

Best of luck during the surgery, you are going to do great.

Kindest of regards

Aletha

Sorry I’ve stayed out of the

picture, for the most part, but have been busy writing a book, a second is

partly done, and have been developing a couple of protocols to deal with

surgery and chemo/radiation support for those who choose to do such rather than

just natural treatments.
