Dear Diana,
Thank you so much. WE believe in what Livingston Foundation is doing
for Barb. It is the way to go to revitalize and stimulate the immune
system as well as detoxify the various organs, liver, kidneys,
lymphatic. We are and will still follow the regimen of Livingston and
we have in fact a followup appointment with them in December. We have
no idea what triggered this and it could've been the result of 3 years,
41 treatments of various chemotherapies. It doesn't matter what caused
it, what matters now is how do I get rid of her constant pain.
I am going to try 30-60 minute body temperature baths a day for about a
week with massages 2-3 times a day and see if that helps. I have read
much about it, but there isn't anything concrete or helpful to alleviate
the neuralgia, pain.
Thank you so much for your advice Diana. I will keep you posted as to
our progress to overcome this darn condition.
God Bless You
Marty
