Welcome to the Weekend!
We’re getting used to our new routine and so we have opted to share our
treatment plan. We’ve seen so many
cancer patients die sick, miserable, and in great pain after trying multiple
chemotherapies without considering other options that could give them a better
quality of life. Some cancer patients
are aware of this, of course, but some are not and some are scared by the
medical community. We’ve decided that if
a treatment sets us back the answer is no.
When you are first diagnosed with cancer you are generally rushed
into making decisions by oncologists and surgeons. In reality it is best to take a little time
to research one’s options before jumping ahead with treatment. Looking back, I wish we would have taken more
time and done more research. There are
many testimonials of people who have kept cancer in remission, or even have no
evidence of disease (NED) using only natural methods. This comes with a very, very big caution-the
need for personal responsibility. The only way this treatment plan will work is
if we follow it closely, there is no depending on a doctor to do it for
us. We’d like to add that the methods we
are using to treat our cancer are all very safe and quite well-proven. We’re aware that treating cancer without
chemotherapy can seem like a minefield to the uninitiated, but all the elements
of our protocol are safe and well respected.
While they are quite time consuming, they are mostly doable in our own
home.
Part one is diet. We’ve
talked a lot about what we’re doing- mostly vegetables, plus even more
vegetables. Dr. Eric has said red meat
no more than 2x’s per week and only one serving of fruit per day. Which may seem hard, but we weren’t even eating
fruit before so having fruit again is very special.
Part two is detoxifying and boosting the immune system. We are now both doing hyperbaric oxygen three
times per week because breathing 100% oxygen in a high pressure environment
stimulates healing by promoting the production of therapeutic chemicals
throughout our bodies. Next is our
sauna- it is one of the best things for fighting cancer. We try to use it every night, but like
everyone else-life happens. Helping the
immune system also includes our weekly Myers cocktail. It seems strange, but we really look forward
to this-at least how we feel after our infusion.
Part three is juicing. We were doing nightly juicing but our
schedule got a little crazy. We do plan
to get right back to the daily juicing of vegetables this week. And we’ll be adding in some herbs from the
garden to maximize the benefits of the juice.
Not to mention Johnny’s yummy kombucha.
Part four is sunshine.
Getting regular sunshine is a very important aspect of this
program. Among other things, it builds
Vitamin D in our bodies, which fights cancer and many other diseases.
Part five is chiropractic.
Gentle chiropractic manipulation increases white blood cell counts
(immunity). Something we both need dearly.
And finally Supplements.
Dr. Eric put me on prescription pancreatic enzymes. It’s not for the faint of heart. Johnny picked up my prescription and the
co-pay was $297.54. Shocked Johnny asked
if that had gone through our insurance.
Sure enough it did. Our drug
print-out proudly stated that our insurance benefit saved us $1483.45! I’m also on progesterone. When Dr. Eric saw that my former Oncologist
did not have me on progesterone he called her “lazy.” Progesterone is a huge benefit for some
cancer patients like me, but requires a doctor to monitor it closely. Another change is I will be transitioning
from prescription blood thinner to Nattokinase.
It will thin my blood, but it comes with fewer possible side effects and
I’m all for that. The next change is
Ultra 40 which is beef liver supplement.
It’s the real deal too. When I have it out the dogs are very
interested. Six capsules a day to increase
my Vitamin B-12 which was very low in testing.
We’re also on daily phospholipid colostrums to help heal our internal
organs after the assault of chemotherapy.
The rest of our supplements have stayed the same – fish oil, multi
vitamins and a few other things thrown in.
So the moral of this story is eat your vegetables so you don’t
end up like us! We are expecting a lot
of family over the next couple of week. We’re
looking forward to seeing everyone.
Enjoy the weekend!
