We are using it.
Mo had symptoms in April of 2011 when bread started getting stuck when swallowed. He was diagnosed May 28th and staging was completed by July 7th. He began chemo July 27th (a full 2 months after diagnosis and 3 months following symptoms). He is was staged at 3c-4, T3N2M1 with adenocarcinoma. Staging seemed to me to take forever and I spent that time researching alternative medicine.

Weeding through all the BS and scams and fairy tales is tough. My personal research gave me hope with 2 things: strawberries and Cellquest. Neither is promoted to kill cancer, but only to stop or inhibit its growth.

In the beginning of June, Mo started the Cellquest (not as high a dosage as recommended - 8oz a day) and eating strawberries every day.

His tumor was 6cm (the size of my thumb) on May 28th. When he had his ultrasound on July 6th it had not grown. He began his chemo on July 27th and we increased the Cellquest to 16oz a day. Except for 1 to 2 weeks when he had severe mouth sores and couldn't tolerate it, he has continued and still takes it daily. He has 2 1/2 more weeks of chemo, then a CAT scan to see how it did.

It has been 5 months now since he had symptoms. Many people in that time, at that stage, can no longer eat and rely on the J-Tube. Mo has no tube, eats fine (anything he wants) as long as it is smaller quantities. He even ate Philadelphia soft pretzels this week. He has lost about 25 pounds in 5 months. Most of the weight loss was due to the mouth sores which made him unable to eat for almost 2 weeks. So far he does not appear to have cancer symptoms, only side effects from the chemo treatments.

Everyone at Geisinger says he's doing great, and he is. His color is good and he has strength. He even did a vulture program for Hawk Mountain Sanctuary this month, holding up an 8 pound vulture and talking to the audience for an entire hour. (We do wildlife education) That is amazing for a man on chemo.

I can not tell you that Mo's progress is due to the cellquest. Mo's father was an EC survivor in the late 1970s when it was a true death sentence. And when I say a survivor, he lived 20+ years and died in his 80s from unrelated issues. Because of his family history, the biology of the cancer may not be as invasive. Mo may be genetically predisposed to having a weaker cancer or a unique immune system to fight it. And we do not yet know what the CAT scan will tell us in 2 weeks.

I can tell you it has not hurt him and it gives him a feeling of control over this thing. Sometimes it's faith that pulls you through and if you believe in something it can work wonders.

Comment about FDA
Hey Lee,

I read the letter from the FDA, do not see anywhere that they spell out the product is harmful to humans, or even that it does not do what the producer intends it to do. This is more a question of how they are marketing themselves and following the laws around distributing drugs. Being in my line of work I have not directly interacted with the FDA, but I have customers that do and it is not completely uncommon to be sent this type of formal action letter. I would be interested in seeing the companies response. This is really around how they are marketing the product and not the product itself.

I am not endorsing the product myself as I have no knowledge of it. I can only say that the letter from the FDA would not provide the company 15 days to respond if they thought it was a true health concern. The FDA has the capability to shut down manufacturing plants, they could have done that. I think they are more concerned around making this product sound like a drug, when it is in fact a holistic supplement.

Peggy's post is from 2011
Hello Kelly

"Welcome" to the Internet's most compassionate and well informed EC forum. You can and will find answers here, as well as friendship and honest to goodness caring people.

You might consider starting a thread of your own telling us a bit more about your dad like - where is he receiving care? Has pallative treatment been recommended? If so, what? Has he had a 2nd opinion?

I haven't seen Peggy post in some time. Perhaps others on the forum have Cellquest information and can answer your question.

{hugs} to you and your Dad!

FDA Warning
Hi there;

I wasn't inferring that the cellquest was questionable because of the FDA letter, it's just the only thing I found that wasn't an endorsement.

I've spent a year of people sending me info on everything from alkaline diets to hemp oil to.. well, everything in between, and you know what they have in common? They don't seem to really do anything. Usually there's one lab report that says "x has been proven to fight cancer cells".. well it's kind of like those Skechers workout shoes that have been "proven to burn calories".. well yeah, but just getting out of bed burns calories too.. is the shoe remarkably better than other calorie-burning activities? No. Products like Cellquest put me on guard. They come out of nowhere, seem to have little proof of their effectiveness except the "one guy" that just happened to be cured by it, and there's never any real proof that the product was responsible for the "cure". If you had a product capable of doing this, wouldn't you be pushing for wide-scale clinical trials, calling CNN etc. to prove it's use? Nope, instead I'll sell it from this one little website in Florida.. if it's too good to be true...

- Lee

Dad has 2 months left so the doctor says.
Hi everybody,

My father was diagnosed with EC stage III this past January, even after chemo, Radiation, and even surgery, the cancer came back. our family is desperate to save him and I cant take it anymore to see him in so much pain. I read an article about Ozone therapy, Gerson diet, and Cellquest. However, Cellquest really caught my attention. Can anybody give me some hope here about Cellquest?? I am so tired of conventional medicine. this is literally our LAST CHANCE.

18 months since diagnosis. Still on cellquest
You can read my comments from earlier. Mo was diagnosed stage 3c in May of 2011 but had swallowing issues since April of 2011. He is still active today, and until this past month could still eat anything. He has been doing so fantastic for so long but this summer began having swallowing issues again.

Since the beginning we were told that Mo was never a candidate for either radiation or surgery because he had mets in distant lymph nodes. He had 9 weeks of chemo treatments last year and that is all. That ended in January of this year, 2012.

Our oncologist last week said he "is not a typical EC patient." He has been on cellquest throughout plus we've done juicing and I asked if this could have helped. The doc said there were too many variables to tell.

This past summer he has now progressed to stage 4 with mets to a rib plus the tumor has begun growing more rapidly. He will have a stent placed tomorrow.

I have not been writing here but saw this topic come up again and had to reply.

Mo has done so well compared to many who could not have the surgery. I would like to think it is because of the alternatives we've done but who knows? Keep in mind many of the success stories we read about do not just involve taking cellquest. Many of these people also changed their entire lifestyles, eating vegetarian and only organic. Major healthy life changes. Mo wouldn't do that. His attitude was "if I'm going to die anyway I might as well enjoy the things I enjoy." He still eats anything including fast food and (embarrassingly) refused to quite smoking. Yet, 18 months later he is still working, active and cheerful.

Luckily, our oncologist has been very supportive of our choices of alternatives. We have 2 new ones we have started and are not giving up.
