No, he is far from cancer free, it is probably going to kill him, possibly as soon as this summer. He has been battling it for 4 years, and he only
had a 20% 5-year survival rate expectation when he began. If he makes it another year he will be in the top 20% of people with this type of
There are some treatments that interfere with others. For instance you cannot take the Vitamin C IV while you are also doing the Budwig Diet
Protocol. You cannot do Radiation in some areas of the body, and while you are on radiation you cannot do certain other things. In general though,
the majority of the Holistic Treatments help one to stay stronger and endure the Chemo and the Radiation better. The Oncology doctors will say they
never lose a fat patient. If one can keep their appetite up, stay strong, and endure the treatment they will have success, but once they stop eating
and start losing weight it gets pretty perilous.
The Hormone and Steroid therapies are very controversial. Some docs say they help one stay strong, help keep the blood count up, and help keep the
weight on, while other docs say they make the cancer grow faster.
For my buddy, he has tried everything. Alone, in various combinations, etc. He was in complete remission twice, following successful radiation
therapies. The radiation completely destroyed the tumors, but eventually one came back on a kidney and they couldn't do radiation, but the chemo
worked pretty well. But, each time you do the chemo it becomes more damaging to your healthy systems and less effective against the cancer.
We almost lost him in October when the chemo became completely ineffective, he had a few weeks to live, the tumors exploded through his abdomen,
esophagus, liver, kidney, etc.. It started getting bad in August, the chemo lost its effectiveness, he went to Mexico for the Vaccine and Ozone
therapy, and he got better for a few weeks, and then got way worse. He got the Russian and Israeli medicine, and they didn't help. He was getting
blood transfusions, vitamins, and lots of medications to help him eat, but he lost all his weight and he was about to die. His mother talked a doctor
in California into putting him on a very harsh round of Chemo like they did originally 4 years ago. The doctor thought it would probably kill him
because of his weakened condition, but since he was about to die anyway, they tried it, and the tumors shrunk almost immediately. He lived, and he
has been in somewhat of a recovery since then. The tumors won't go away, but they are shrinking.
All of the people we have dealt with have been somewhat of scammers, even the good ones. The Budwig people didn't get the stuff he ordered to him as
promised. They sent some, but not all, but they took his money anyway, and it took months to get the full order, but he finally did. The Rosenberg
people didn't want to see him in Florida, but then they finally saw him in California, and he is just now about to start that treatment and they will
continue it back here in Florida once he starts it. All of them are difficult to deal with, and that includes the regular docs and pharmacies as
Our entire Healthcare system is pretty screwed up. His whole problem started because his cancer metastized, because of a 7 week delay in diagnosis.
It was 2 weeks to see his doc, then 2 more weeks to see a urologist, and then 2 more weeks to see an oncologist, and then a week to wait for test
results, and by then a 1 cm tumor was an 8 cm metastized tumor, and even then it was a couple of more weeks to get treatment started. He would have
had a very easy treatment and recovery if they had treated it 7 weeks sooner, but now it will eventually kill him.
