Had a meeting on June 21st to review my scans and progress with the Doctor who performed the RFA of one tumor in my lung on Feb 13th. Successful ablation and I have scans pre and post RFA with images of the needles going into the tumor and the result after blasting.This new doctor is a medical oncologist but unusual in that he believes in alternative therapies (even though he uses the conventional slash/burn techniques also). His patients are almost exclusively cancer stricken and he’s very expert reading CT Scan data.He made a comment on the 21st that my tumors in the scans have shown an unusual characteristic. They’re all showing calcifications around them. I asked what that means and he said the tumors have dead cells around them (calcified cells show a bright white on the scan) and something is making them ill.
He attributes that to the treatments I’ve been doing (LDN, Artemix, Paw Paw Reg-Cell ®. He organized a 1 month post-op scan for July 21st and we’ll see the status of the ablation site at that time.
I have been continously on LDN since Feb 12, 2007 and added both (simultaneously) Artemisinin (Artemix) and Paw Paw since June 14th (following day after the RFA).
My thinking is the RFA caused significant disruption to one side of my lungs. After the RFA of the largest tumor, the existing cancer nodules in that lung and on the opposite lung lobe might undergo some stresses from the operation, giving the LDN and the other treatments an easier target (unmask the tumors? ).
I had previously added Artemix to my treatment for 2 months from January to February 2008. In the case of Artemix, the stomach loses it’s ability to absorb the drug, so cannot stay on continously for too long. Going off for a short time restores the absorption level so can restart the treatment.
<>Artemix works on the principle that active cancer cells require substantially more iron than normal cells to function. Once Artemix enters the cancer cell it interacts with the high concentration of iron in the cell, creating free radicals which induce apoptosis in the cancer cells (published report from NIH).
Paw Paw works on a different mechanism from Artemisinin so I think the two are complementary. Cancer cells also require large amounts of glucose (that’s how PET scans work using radioactive glucose injected into the bloodstream) which is converted to the energy required by the cancer cell to grow (called adenosine tryphosphate or ATP) . Cancer cells require 10-17 times the ATP that a normal cell needs to thrive.
Paw Paw contains naturally occurring Acetogenins (link to a published report) – a substance which reduces ATP production in cells. For normal cells reducing the ATP energy slightly isn’t detrimental to the cell, but for cancer cells which need 10-17 times as much ATP as a norml cell, the reduction in energy conversion can be fatal.
Both Artemix and Paw Paw have been developed and researched by Drs. and PH.Ds with commercially available versions of both drugs (Artemix and Paw Paw Cell-Reg) holding patent protection. However they’re not expensive since derived from natural plants, don’t require prescriptions and can be ordered over the internet.
When cells are under distress the bodies innate immune system may be better able to recognize the defective cells. If your immune system is destroyed (which happens when you undergo chemotherapy), even if the cancer tumors reduce in size somewhat, if they’re not completely destroyed, they will return with a vengeance since the ones which survived have adapted to that chemo substance and become drug resistant.
Within this week, I’ve received further evidence (besides my own results) of the benefits of the LDN-Artemisinin-Paw Paw (LDN-AP) combination against other cancers.
On June 9th, I had a meeting organized by my GP, to meet with a man (70+ years old) diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer which had metastasized to his thigh, lower skull, neck and spine. His oncologist had told him there was nothing further they could do. He had been on steroids and chemotherapy for over 1 year but was no longer responding to the “treatment”.
At the meeting I brought with me 30 day supplies each of LDN (4.5mg), Artemix, and Paw Paw which he started taking on June 10th even as he was still on steriods and being slowly withdrawn from that treatment.
Just received an email on July 8th, from his daughter, about some wonderful news. He had a full body PET scan on July 7th, and this is excerpted from her email to me:
“We saw Dr S today, and the scan results are almost unbelievable. We are so relieved, to say the least. Compared to Feb scan, all Dad’s bone metastases has been resolved (4 sites in total, his thigh, lower skull, neck, and spine). 10 out of 13 (I think) Lymphnode sites have also been resolved. Only 1 has worsened mildly, and the other remains largely the same. We found one small new lynphnode site, and there has been increased activity in the prostate (although not in size). But, lungs, liver etc appears to be fine.“
I’ve asked her to send me the scan results and I’ll post them to my web site later, as further evidence that the LDN-AP protocol appears to work.
