Kari: I applaud your vision and belief about naturalpathic therapies.
WE have researched at great lengths into immunology and revitalization
of the immune system which includes the dosages of the anti-oxidants a,
c, e and selenium and other supplements and foods that have been proven
to detoxify organs, revitalize the immune system thereby proving a more
quality life which includes the reduction of allergies, colds, major
diseases, etc. I would also suggest, as I believe you have, that we are
fed with so many alternative therapies that when one is on more than a
few remedies or therapies as a result of what we hear or read about, the
fact is we don't for the most part know which one is working or not and
the cost becomes prohibitive as well as frustrating and time consuming.
We have found and firmly believe that a medically controlled program,
one in which that performs many tests, (blood, markers, scans, etc)
which results in the specific determination of the deficiency of the
individuals immune system would be specifically beneficial for the
individual because at that point a custom tailored program may be
provided. BEcause what may work for me, may not work for you and
thereby we seem to lose confidence in some therapies. There are a
number of very reputable medically controlled programs that I have
learned and read about and actually attended this year. Some of them
that have very positive successful results from their programs to
revitalize the immune system are:
1 - The Livingston Foundation in San Diego
2- the Gerson Clinic in Tiquana Mexico and Texas
3- The Health Quarters in Colorado Springs, Col
4- Dr. Walter Crinnions clinic in Bellevue Wash.
WE have attended the Livingston Foundation this summer and are following
their program. As a matter of fact we just came back from a followup
visit with our doctor there. Their program includes exactly the
therapies you suggested, but every individual that attends is first
evaluated by testing and then is administered a custom tailored program
for them. So, that if 5,000 to 50,000 mg of vitamin c is good for you,
it is determined by our immune system that 20,000 mg daily may be good
for us. And that goes for the rest of what they provide as far as immune
system vaccinations, antigens, vitamins, supplements, cooking
suggestions, etc.
To make a long story short. I totally agree with your message and have
found that their success rate is greater than many conventional
therapies for quality life and that the key is that each individual is
different thereby requiring a custom tailored program to meet the needs
of the deficiency in the immune system. For many this becomes very
expensive for this type of program, but may I suggest reading a book
called "The Cancer Battle Plan" by Anne Frahm where we originally got
the idea for a naturalpathic way of lifestyle to rebuild the immune
system. She is a long time survivor of metastatic breast cancer. Its
worth the reading.
So, Kari thank you, we are in total agreement and we have experienced
and know of many that are long time survivors including ovarian that
seem to be seeking the alternative methods. And for that matter of fact
many hospitals are recognizing the benefits of alternative treatments.
God Bless and keep up the great work and information
