I have publically spoken about this and I am also a cancer support
director at Crystal Cathedral in California every Monday night and I am
also a caregiver to my wife who has had stage IV mets cancer and to
others that I support on a daily basis with their educational needs. And
what I believe and firmly urge is that while there are so many good
alternative, individual products........we just don't know which one is
working or not when an individual is taking more than one product and
the more alternative products one is on, then not only don't we know
which one is working or not, the cost also becomes prohibitive.
Therefore, pls let me suggest or recommend this:
Since every human being is different in terms of what produces the
immune system, the bone marrow that produces the blood cells, the
composition of each human being and the emotions that one is experienced
with, then it only makes sense that we seek out a program that is
medically controlled to recommend a custom tailored immune system
building program for that individual who so different in terms of
composition and the disease.
I feel its important that each individual find by takine the various
blood tests and so on, to determine the deficiencies in their immune
system in order for the medical community to recommend what alternative
program is good for you. Just because the macrobiotic diet or any other
diet is good for me, doesn't mean its good for you and by the time you
take an alternative treatment that is not medically directed, then time
and money is wasted when after a few months you find its not good for
you and is causing weight loss.
,
I urge you to call the Livingston Foundation in San Diego or the Gerson
Clinic in Tijuana, Mexido or the Health Quarters in Colorado Springs or
Dr. Walter Crinnions in Bellevue Washington, as I have researched these
immunology centers out for the benefit of my wife and others and they
are very reputable clinics for the revitalization of the immune system.
Now I will not advertise any one specifically because in this case they
are different and you need to find out which one is best suited for your
needs. They will send you informational packets. But, I do endorse the
belief that any alternative treatment you seek and take, just like a
conventional treatment of chemotherapy, must be recommended and tailored
for your needs as a result of many tests to determine the deficiencies
in the individuals immune system.
HOpe this information helps
God Bless\
