Other then Cancer You would be considered healthy. lol

you know we have way to much in common, those peky peritoneal mets. i think you are far more alternative then you let on, but thats a guess.

i am so glad your onc supports lenz ideas suggestions. 

the irony is clear, i love irony.

my mental tip for me and for you if you wish.

just read " you are healthy" say it out loud, don't say about those few troublesome cells. we are both definitely going to beat this. did you see manwithnoname post about faith boosting your immune system. 

so many spontaneous remissions, but they never say its the immune system, well what else eats tumours in our body.

I say have faith and trust in the person you love the most on the planet. for me thats me. i can give faith and trust to doctors when its earnt, but to be honest the more i learn, the more i see my fate rests so clearly in my hands and not my doctors. the mistakes from all my doctors, its amazing, I am pleased to be alive to find all the mistakes or the room for lets say clinical improvement.

keep the faith and trust first and foremost in your self and then dish it out wisely. even lenz is only part of the puzzle, he is not god, he may think so. i have met some great doctors, but not one of them knows my biology like me, none of them order the tests, that i order. then we find some key results that need tweaking. ie my dhea is low and i am researching its role in boosting our immune system.

the doctors pretend to understand, i am confident i have had more consults with more alternative doctors and possibly oncologists and I have not been asleep during the discussions. what they know thats relevant to me, i know after the consult.

functional and integrative medicine is so complex, lenz is a beginner, most of the us alternative doctors are beginners. The german wholeist movement has serious historical and clinical advantage over the usa. they also have a more friendly legal environment, look at the experimental therapies I am trying, you just cannot do them in the usa or most western countries. i think i am ranting and venting as well.

I am reading "the hobbit"by tolkein each day to my kids, its my favourite book. on page 24 The wizard Gandalf says of the hobbit to the doubting dwarves "There is alot more in him than you guess, and a deal more than he has any idea of himself" I am a positive thinking junkie, I read this sentence to my 7 year old son and few times. If he gets no other message in life from me this one will be enough. he explained it in his words, and said turn the light off. The other night he had a nightmare about me dieing. Its nice to be loved, we talked about how important dreams are, he was even scared to talk about it in the daytime, but we did gently.

If a hobbit can steal a gold ring, maybe its possible for a few friends to find a way to beat a challenging illness, and in the very least have fun living while we try.

their are so many markers the west don't test for, google tktl1  and coy or nagalase as a start. you cannot do the tests in the usa, only germany.

not one doctor has really impressed me with learning with an open mind yet and i have seen alot. so in their absence we have to step in. sorry but thats my experience, its my life, its my job to save it. even lots of money and fancy clinics does not stop the fact that doctors are human and they miss the details of the results, all the bloody time.

hugs,

Pete

The year I was on chemo was my healthiest!

No colds, flus or other viruses that winter.  I skipped my annual bronchitis that year (first time in years.)  If I hadn't been in the midst of cancer treatment, I would have been the healthiest person around!  Ah, yes, the irony of it all!

but the immune specialists i chat to say thats an example of immune dysfunction, becuase the body has been unable to mount an effective immune response. just saying what i was told that sounded reasonable.

Multifaceted

I agree with you Pete!   The battle aagainst Cancer is fought on many levels, diet, exercise, faith, etc...

 

I do Juice fresh vegetables, mainly carrot, leafey greens(Kale, Swiss Chard, what ever I can get fresh), Celery, Cilantro & garlic.  It tastes good and it helps up my vegetable micronutrients. I take water soluable High grade vitamins D, Fish Oil, B6, Milk Thistle and Probiotics. Those whom have Trade Joes available, TJs has high quality affordable vitamins. We added Oatmeal to the start of our day, and eat the Zone Diet. (We are switching over to the Med Diet, it is very similar to the zone. A little less protein.)  

We got off of White Sugar and use Honey, Mollases, and Maple.  It took a little bit of playing to make cookies and cakes, but really not much. I got it perfected by the third try.  (Whip the eggs, Sour Cream(instead of milk) and sugar(Honey, Mollases, or maple ) mixture until it starts to have air in it.  Then add the flour(Whole Wheat) 50% by folding it, then a little at a time to keep the fluffy mixture.  I add about double the spices that a normal recipe says.

 

The more Homeopathic Books I read the more some of it makes a lot of sense.  I think the Micronutrients are missing from a lot of our diets.  I think if people actually read the ingredient list of products that they purchased, they would be more conscious about what they consume. Even Butter and Milk now contain chemicals if you are not aware.  I also believe that we can get most of our nutrition from natural plants versus a lot of supplements, because the supplements are missing the key micro nutrients that would have made them a great food choice.

 

We moved out of the Big City(Los Angeles adjacent) to Small Mountain Town in Arizona.   The Air and Water Quality certainly are better. It is a slower pace life style. Everyone is not in a hurry. We do not have as many retail options, but we also have the internet or can drive to the big city to get stuff.  We truely learned, we do not really need stuff.

So Pete, Yes I am a convert to Diet and Homeopathic Foods to add to our battle.  I am like an Ex-Smoker, and tell everyone to convert.  lol  

I also agree that in the USA we have to many Legal battles.  One can not sue over every thing. At the same time, one can not endanger everyone else and not expect to have ramifications.  There needs to be a balance.  One can not sue their employer because they hit their finger with a hammer. An employer must also provide safe work conditions. As a previous employer, I provided safety equipment, and safe tools. It would drive me crazy to see an idiot not using the safety equipment, or removing the safety equipment because they knew better. The latter always was their last minute on the job. I told every employee that I can not teach them to be polite, on time, or have common sense, that was their parent's job.

 

Best Always,  mike

nice answer, thanks, not needing stuff, i love it. 

maybe we could just keep the healthy stuff. 

hugs,

Pete
