HI Jerry,
I can understand how you are feeling. I was there a few months ago.
Just the fact that you have done enough research to find the Budwig
diet speaks for how far you have come. I would support you in a
decision to avoid western allopathic medical treatments and try CAM.
(But I am not your family- just a person on an email list.)
Leanard gave you some good answers for your first two questions. I
agree with him. The Budwig diet is not hard. You can buy two of her
books from Amazon. Barlean's has a lower price on the cookbook- I
highly recommend it. Barlean's will also sell you the FSO for
wholesale. Call the 800 number and tell them you have cancer. The
most difficult part is giving up eating out. Until you can find
those few and far between places that cook to a high enough standard
for a cancer patient.
Have you seen Bill Henderson's e-book? It is full of info and great
links on CAM: see his web site for info:
Also, have you looked at IPT? iptq.org
IMHO, why do your doctors want to do a biopsy on person that this
creates difficulty for, when their very expensive PET machine has
already confirmed the diagnosis???
In addition to your list, I would add a parasite cleanse ( See Dr.
Hulda Clark's book, "The Cure for ALL CANCER" and be sure to remove
all toxins from your house, office, etc. What about your dental
work? Is your mouth full of Mercury amalgams?
Blessings,
Virginia

Hello,
I would like to ask for your help with a crucial decision I'm
about to
make. Next Tuesday 4/8/03 I'm scheduled for a biopsy of the lymph
nodes
in my chest. It all started with an initial chest x-ray that
showed a
nodule in my right lung that measured about .5 inches in diameter.
Subsequent to the chest x-ray I had a PET scan and a CT scan that
diagnostically confirmed the presents of the malignant lung tumor
and
also showed additional cancer activity in my chest lymph nodes.
To make things even more challenging, three years ago I had open
heart
surgery to replace an aortic valve that was deformed from birth
with a
St. Jude mechanical valve. As a result I take Coumadin to prevent
this
valve from being rejected by my body. The rejection involves the
formation of blood clots around the valve which could cause severe
stroke and other very dangerous complications.
The Coumadin also thins my blood and causes excessive bleeding
when I
get cut or have any surgery. In order for me to be operated on I
have
to stop taking the Coumadin for 4-5 days prior to the surgery. I'm
scheduled to be admitted to the hospital the day before the
surgery and
receive heparin IV treatments. After the surgery I will
immediately go
back on the heparin IV and start taking the Coumadin again.
This complication adds additional risk of post operative internal
bleeding and creates more worry and stress for me. I have also
been
told that if they confirm the presents of cancer in my lymph nodes
they
will immediately recommend either chemo or radiation treatments.
If the
treatments are successful, I will go back in the hospital for the
removal of the upper and middle lobes of the right lung.
I'm very seriously considering canceling ALL Western medicine
treatments
and surgery. If I do this I'm evaluating four separate treatments
as an
alternative. These treatments include Dr. Budwig's diet,
acupuncture,
oxygen treadmill therapy and "Directed Mental Imagery Healing"
(DMIH) a
specialty form of hypnosis. In reviewing the Budwig diet many
questions
come into play. I would greatly appreciate your experience with
the
diet. Please review the questions below.
1. How strict is the Budwig diet?
2. Can I eat things like fish or organically raised meat?
3. How much of the mixture should I take in the beginning?
4. Will I need to stay on this diet for the rest of my life?
5. Are the portions of food restricted?
6. Would any of the other treatments interfere with the Budwig
diet?
Thank you in advance for all your help!
Jerry
