When they left the hospital in June, Marilyn B. was said that her husband, James, belonged in an institution palliative care, where they could make him as comfortable as possible through his last weeks with malignant pleural mesothelioma.
Fortunately, she did not listen, take a detour at home instead, arriving with its own plane shot-in-the-dark, reluctant to accept the medical opinion which previously has led to chemotherapy which nearly killed him.
thank you God, she did not listen this time.
has just started to feed him.
the couple, whose name was not granted on privacy, facing the Budwig protocol, a radical change of regime that revolves around a special blend of oil protein comprising the oil and flax cold pressed cottage cheese. It provides the essential omega-3 fatty acids which become the spark for cells to detoxify, complete with oxygen, and function optimally.
He worked miraculously for James.
"When we left the hospital, all they talked about was palliative care, he needed to be where they can take care of you when you are dying "said Marilyn at home in Ottawa, Ontario." I say no, no, no. There must be something else there. We were not ready to give up. I do not know exactly why it works, or how long it will work, but it is remarkable how he is now. he went out and shoveled snow off the player, the other day. "
James, 74 years, came home in a wheelchair with an oxygen tank to help his breathing, PleurX catheter to drain fluid from his lungs and regularly with kidneys that were barely functioning. You do not know today.
Over the next few months, the wheelchair became a walker, then a cane, then disappeared completely. The catheter is long gone because the lungs are working at 95 percent capacity fluid without trace. He returned more than the 20 pounds he lost. Her skin is back to normal. And the nurse came every day to check on him, has no reason to come over.
"You can never get rid of mesothelioma, but you can get rid of or shrink the tumors," said Marilyn. "I know something good happened since he went on this diet. Most doctors do not really know enough about nutrition, supplements and natural process, I do not think so. Most people I know still go the route of conventional medicine. And early, we went there, but it did not work. People should understand that other things can work. "
First Diagnosed in 2011
James was diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma in July 2011, but it was too advanced for surgery an option. The combination of the usual chemotherapy cisplatin and Alimta has not done much except leave the frustrating side effects with the disease progressed.
in early 2012, he was switched to the drug gemcitabine chemotherapy, who sent him on a decline spiral that included a dramatic weight loss and multiple blood transfusions that her white blood cell and platelet count dropped to dangerous levels. his breathing got worse, and his lungs were filled with fluid.
"They me said so, there was nothing more to do, "Marilyn recalled. "They do not think he had much more time to live. So we had nothing to lose by trying this diet. Every night, I would leave the hospital, I go home and search the Internet for answers. This made sense. That's why I wanted to bring him home. "
Protocol Budwig
She found the Budwig protocol, an anti-cancer diet that was designed in 1953 by Johanna Budwig, a German biochemist . Budwig, who died in 03, said that if followed correctly, could significantly shrink tumors and sometimes eliminate them completely.
in addition to the cheese mixture oil / linseed cottage the diet consists of meals rich in fruits, vegetables and fiber. It avoids all processed foods, most meats, sugar, hydrogenated oils and butter and margarine.
Two times a day now, Marilyn married and James uses his drink 16 ounces, including the oil / cottage cheese flaxseed, along with any number of fruits, berries and vegetables mixed together.
breakfast is usually a bowl of cooked oatmeal or oatmeal with fruit and almond milk. Lunch is a sandwich with whole grain bread, lots of vegetables and a small amount of chicken or fish. Dinner is another small portion of chicken, turkey or fish, fruits and vegetables more.
It also takes extra vitamins and a supplement called Daily Orac Power, which comprises more than 30 different fruits and vegetables. Among these are the cabbage leaves, elderberry, celery, Brussels sprouts, carrots, beets, barley grass, alfalfa, soy fiber and a Japanese seaweed mix.
"Something is working," said Marilyn. "His tumors have now disappeared or are lying dormant and do not build more fluid. He walks up steps, taking short walks, do a lot of things he could not do before. Our daughter looks in disbelief, how much better it looks. "
This was not the first time that Bloomers had traveled this road by cancer. Their daughter was diagnosed with a four-year breast cancer before, enduring several surgeries and chemotherapy treatment sessions. She is always monitored.
"I went through this with my daughter, and I learned from that," said Marilyn. " Oncologists do not understand this (mesothelioma) enough disease. When they decide they can no longer do anything for you, that's when you feel lost. And we were there. We were lucky to find something that worked for us. Otherwise, I do not know what would have happened. "
