#15 New month, new news.

One of these days I hope to be able to post some truly positive news about our struggle with cancer. Right now just doesn't seem to be that time. Becky has finally seen an oncologist and is taking Arimidex now. It's a 25mg pill once a day and is supposed to disrupt the estrogen cycle of this particular form of breast cancer. Since she only started a week ago today it's far too early to know if anything noteworthy is happening yet.

What I am finding troubling is that she seems to have given up on all things alternative even though we know the OCC system works quite well at killing cancer cells. Even more simple, yet effective too, is the addition of baking soda to a glass of water three or four times a day. Granted the OCC protocol gives her some horrible breath due to the gas exchange in the lungs. The chlorine in her blood stream eventually escapes via the lungs and it's a very odd smell. I can deal with that, however. The baking soda has no negative factors at all.... but she doesn't like it because of the "salty taste" it gives the water.

I drink a lot of baking soda and water for my stomach and I can tell you.... "It ain't that bad." To my primitive way of thinking it boils down to letting cancer win..... or putting up with the slightly salty taste of 4 glasses of water a day. Damn..... that's a really tough choice! Or it's letting the cancer win or having bad breath for a while. Again..... tough choice.

An example I used in a conversation with a friend was that it's like my leg is on fire and I have a bucket of water. Now I *could* pour that on my leg and put out the fire...... but if I did that then I'd get my pants wet.... and I don't like wet pants..... so I guess I'll just let my leg burn. What the hell kind of sense does that make?

Physically her breast hurts quite a lot and there are several open sores on it. In addition to that (as if that were not enough) her left shoulder and left hip joint give her considerable trouble too. Some days she can barely walk..... actually most days lately. We're seeing a D.O. for the joint pain and he's given her two shots so far. One to the shoulder seemed to do a lot of good. Another a couple of weeks later has seemed to have not had any effect at all. Since we have no scans of those areas I can't be sure what the root cause of the pain is. Could be age and wear... could be something more. The only consistent thing is that all of her problems are on her left side. I'm not sure what to make of that.... coincidence? Who knows?

What I do know is that doing nothing.... or doing less than all you could be doing.... is not a viable answer. Becky is not only the love of my life.... she's my best friend too. In *my* vision of things we whip this thing and have a couple more decades to become even better friends. There are too many things we haven't had time to do and too many things I haven't been able to show her yet. (The Grand Canyon and Yellowstone quickly come to mind.)

Is fighting cancer easy? Hell no. If it was there would be a lot fewer deaths from it. What I do know is that if you're NOT fighting it with everything you have every day..... you're agreeing to let it kill you. That's not an option in my world. As they told us in training many moons ago on Coronado Island, California..... "2nd place is 1st looser." That may not be a big deal in a rope climb or rubber raft race..... but with cancer it means that you're dead. Death should come softly in old age after you've had time to make friends with it. I'm hoping her fighting spirit will awaken again soon.

#14 Mid-June update

Things have been a tad rocky these past few weeks. Becky became toxic as a result of one of the therapies working a bit too well. She achieved a large kill-off of pathogens... and their death resulted in the release of a large amount of toxins into her system.... overloading her liver and kidneys. Going off the therapy for three days had her feeling much better though.

Otherwise she has had problems with her left shoulder and left hip for the past few weeks too. Her left arm is almost useless and it causes her great pain to move it at all. Range of motion is perhaps 3 to 5 percent at best. She had a shot last Monday (the 14th) and felt much better the following day. Smiled for the first time in weeks.... which was refreshing to see.

While she felt better we consulted with a surgeon about removing her left breast. The Doctor is a very kind gentleman of 65 who nearly cried when he saw her breast. Seeing a Doctor who demonstrated some actual *concern* about her condition was SO refreshing that it had another benefit. Becky has agreed to see an oncologist he recommended and undergo a course of a new chemotherapy drug to try to shrink the tumor. (Which she estimates to now be somewhere between 5 and 7 pounds) This new drug is in pill form so no IV's to deal with. We are still waiting for a consult appointment with him and expect to hear something tomorrow. (Friday)

On another front Becky used the last of her PTO days last week and has had to apply for short term disability until she feels better. So far we're keeping up with the monthly bills but things are going to start squeaking when the medical co-pays start to roll in. I'm searching for organizations (Cancer related) who may have grants available to help with the payments. IF anyone knows of such an organization please leave a message with the contact information.

Otherwise she remains in good spirits and we both remain resolved to win this battle. We think that once the bulk of the cancer is removed with the surgery we'll have a much better chance at defeating what remains. The MMS therapy IS effective and DOES target and kill abnormal cells so she will likely return to that.

The main thing we have learned is that cancer does not play nice and anyone trying alternative therapy should not even waste their time with a majority of the therapies. Rather than working your way through various light weight measures..... escalate immediately to thermonuclear warfare and hit the cancer with the strongest therapy you can find. We made the mistake of starting out at the low end of the scale and working up. This is fine IF your tumor is the size of a pea..... but if you can feel it..... hit it with the strongest therapy you can stand to take and DO NOT let up for even a day.... unless you become toxic.

Laetrile is effective and can be used with most other therapies. Either get the B-17 pills or go to "Our Fathers Farm" and order apricot pits. Treat the pits as though they were whole apricots and eat no more than you could the whole fruit. (normally in the 6 to 8 range) We found the MMS therapy to be quite effective but discovered it too far into our search. IF the MMS is not to your taste (and it tastes like drinking water with bleach in it) then simply use baking soda. Health food stores sell "Bob's Red Mill" baking soda which does not contain any aluminum. Mix a teaspoon of soda with water and drink it throughout the day up to a maximum of 7 teaspoons a day.

In conjunction with that change your diet to raw foods which are alkalizing. If you get your blood alkaline enough when it enters the cancer cells they will die. Be aware that in a lot of cases there will be additional swelling and perhaps an increase in pain for the first 2 to 4 days when the baking soda starts working. This is normal and you should start to see some mass shrinkage in the 4 to 6 day range. if you are fortunate enough to know someone who can do an IV then you can also use a 5% baking soda solution to pack a more powerful punch. The same 5% solution can also be injected directly into the tumor if you are so inclined and have the required skills.

Lastly.... a concoction of 3 parts natural grade B maple syrup and 1 part baking soda can be used. Heat this mix to 120 degrees and stir for 10 minutes. It will foam a lot and, after sitting a while, separate out some. Simply stir it up and take 2 teaspoons full three times a day. The cancer cells love the sugar and will take it in. The baking soda sort of goes in too like a Trojan Horse so the syrup is something of a last meal for the condemned. DO NOT underestimate the baking soda as a viable therapy! There is a mountain of evidence out there of its effectiveness.

I will try to keep everyone informed with regard to the new pill type chemo and the surgery. As I said we are both confident that once the bulk of the cancer is removed we can deal with the rest knowing what we know now. We both thank you are for your prayers and your continued support.

Peace

#13 Early June Update

I think I mentioned last time that we were embarking upon a new therapy method. It's a protocol named the "OCC" or "Overnight Cancer Cure." Obviously nothing can cure cancer overnight but this is still a rather strong therapy method. SO! How's it going?

Actually it worked well.... TOO well in fact! So how can a cancer cure work too well? I'll explain.

The protocol is based on the theory that the root cause of all cancers is a little microorganism that invades normal cells. The organism retards normal cell activity to the point at which the mitochondria eventually shut down. (those are the little power plants in all cells that burn the glucose and make energy for the cells)

Once the mitochondria shut down two things happen. Cell energy production transitions from glucose burning (oxidation) to glucose fermentation. (An anaerobic (without oxygen) activity) Since this is a very inefficient method of energy production cancer consumes much more fuel than normal cells. Also... when the mitochondria shut down so does their control over the normal life/death cycle of the cell. Thus cancer cells are almost immortal.

Okay... those are the basics. Now then... this new protocol works by clearing the system of microorganisms. This begins in the gut and bloodstream first..... since the medicine is taken orally and has to circulate through the blood to get to the cancer. Thus the first few days are basically spent cleaning up those two systems of all microorganisms.

This must be done in order to get to the cancer.... but there is a potential for harm too. When the microorganisms die they release toxins into the bloodstream. IF the kill off of the microorganisms happens slowly enough then the liver and lymphatic system can handle the build-up of toxins in the system. Kill them off too quickly and those systems cannot handle the overload.... and the person gets rather sick. REALLY over do it and death can result.

This (not the death part) is exactly what happened to Becky this past Memorial Day weekend. She tolerates the protocol rather well and it had never made her even a little bit queasy. But she suddenly began to feel very sick and lacked energy. Didn't want to do anything or even eat anything. I suspected she had gone toxic and had her stop the protocol and return to a more normal diet... plus drink a lot of filtered water. Two days of that and she's back to normal again.

We're are starting the protocol again later today but we're going to go at it much slower than we did at first. Now that she knows what the toxicity feels like she can monitor for that and cut back as necessary to prevent getting as sick as she just did. While the toxicity was not fun for her it did prove, without a doubt, that the protocol does work as intended.

This episode also points out the critical need to have at least two people involved in the therapy process. Both people need to read and become totally familiar with the procedures involved as wells as the risks and possible side effects of the therapy. Double check the person doing the therapy to ensure the dose rates are correct. Monitor them for reactions they themselves may overlook. If either of you have a problem with the results or side effects then STOP the protocol and do more research before starting again. Safety.... first... last... always.

On other fronts we still have more irons in the fire too. Another option, which was researched in British Columbia, is something called DCA or sodium dichloroacetate. It seems to accomplish two distinct things in the cancer. First it seems to have the ability to switch on the mitochondria once again.... thus re-booting the normal life cycle of the cells. This is called apoptosis and is defined as "programmed cell death."

At the cell level what happens is that once the mitochondria "wakes up" again it checks it's surroundings and discovers that the cell it's living in is *much* older than it ought to be. Since the cell was programmed to have a life of X number of days or weeks and is now way beyond that.... it's time to die and make way for new cells.

The second thing that sodium dichloroacetate does is mitigate the effects of lactic acid in the cancer... and elsewhere in the body. The lactic acid build-up is what causes the pain in the cancer and the "burn" in overworked muscles. I won't go into great detail here but the dose is *very* small and only required once a day rather than once an hour like the OCC protocol.

Also I'm investigating Rife machines. These are really tough to sort out because the creator was hounded and destroyed by an evil little troll named Morris Fishbein who, at that time, was the head of the AMA. Basically Fishbein wanted a piece of the action and when Rife would not make him a partner..... Fishbein had him destroyed. Not stopping there he had is laboratory burned to the ground too. ALL Rife machines known to exist were confiscated and destroyed. This one mans greed has resulted in the unnecessary and painful deaths of millions upon millions of people world wide. The Rife machine cure rate on terminal cancer was..... 100% in clinical studies. Harmful side effects? None. Cost of treatment? Insignificant. And that is the problem. Cheap treatments do not make anyone rich.

As we work on making progress in this struggle it is very frustrating to keep learning of protocols and systems which worked well in the past..... but are lost to us today due mostly to greed. Hopefully the evil people responsible for keeping these cures out of the hands of those who need them..... will pay a very painful and eternal price for their lack of humanity.

To all who pass this way and share this journey with us...... Peace.
