How is the Vitamin Lady
dealing with Cancer?
by Lynn Hinderliter CN, LDN
When I discovered in September 2005 that a CT scan had
detected a large tumor in my abdomen, my first re-action was "where
do I turn"? I find this ironic, since of all people you would think I
would have the process at my finger tips. This kind of news, however, is
overwhelming: knowing that whether at this point one chooses the correct path
will determine life or death, can focus the mind wonderfully.
One thing I have noticed, as I
research on the Internet, is how few people who have successfully challenged
cancer seems to post their experience so others can be helped. Please, if
you have succeeded in this battle - do as I am doing and document it, so others
can learn from your mistakes, and benefit from your triumphs
The first lesson I learned is that I should have gone to the
Doctor to discuss some of my symptoms
years ago: but they were so minor, I didn't think it worth while.
Just think, I could have been worrying about Cancer for 20 extra years! A little
joke, that was: but I think that this growth started all of that long ago.
If we had caught it sooner, I could have begun this fight while the enemy was
still quite small ...
What could have caused it? I have to choose stress as a
causative factor. The extremely large tumor is in my abdomen, not involving the
liver or the pancreas, but impinging on the aorta. I have always
internalized stress, actually feeling that area tense and clench up whenever
things are out of tune. I do all the things I mention in my article on
Preventing
Cancer, to which I must attribute the fact that it took the tumor so long to
grow, and life went on as normal during the process.
This
is interesting, too -"...
An estimated 10 to 30 percent of the (polio) vaccine given to
humans between 1955 and 1963 was contaminated with the (
cancer causing SV40 monkey) virus, exposing between 10 to 30
million Americans."
According
to a CNN article, there is strong evidence that simian
virus-40 (SV40) "... results in
a number of rare cancers including non-Hodgkin's
lymphoma"
and
It
has been known since 1960 that early doses of polio vaccine
were widely contaminated with simian virus 40, or SV40, which
infects macaque monkeys. Tens of millions of people in the US
and an unknown number in other countries, including the UK,
Australia and the former Soviet Union, may have been exposed
prior to 1963.

Scientist - http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn6116
I
received my polio vaccine in the UK in app. 1955
It
is also apparent that people with blood type A, which I have, are at
increased
risk for developing cancer. http://altmedangel.com/canblood.htm
What took me to the Doctor eventually was a lack of
energy: I would get up in the morning, and a few hours later, would find
myself irresistibly drawn back to my bed for more sleep. In the evenings,
instead of working on my
latest
tapestry, I would fall asleep in my chair. I thought perhaps I had
Chronic Fatigue, or some liver problem. I asked my Doctor to palpate my
liver, and when he did, he looked very grave and sent me off immediately for a
CT scan.
What they found is what the radiologist - technical
jargon deserting him in his surprise! - termed a "huge " tumor
measuring 15 by 6 1/2 cm in my abdomen, along with "multiple" lymph
nodes measuring more than 1 cm. My dear Doctor - whom I counseled lo!
these many years ago for his diabetes, when he was a student - came to my house
in person to deliver the bad news.
My initial reaction was ridiculous: I thought,
well thank goodness! There's actually something wrong with me, and I'm not
just becoming lazy. That soon passed, and a feeling of helplessness
overwhelmed me. I can only too easily see how simple it would be at this
stage to just put oneself in the hands of the "experts", and say -
"take care of me".
However, I fortunately did have a base of knowledge, and the
first decision I made was not
to have a biopsy. (http://www.healingcancernaturally.com/biopsies-surgery-spread-cancer.html#aboutbiopsiescanbiopsiesspreadcancer)
The diagnosis on the CT scan was "probable lymphoma", and by not
having the biopsy I am probably laying myself open to the eventual charge that
it wasn't cancer at all. Be that as it may, I know that the chances of
having cancer seeded elsewhere in the body from even a tiny needle biopsy is
estimated to be as high as 50%.
I had also immediately determined that I would not be going
the conventional route for cancer, and therefore, while it might be
important for the Doctors to know precisely what kind of cancer was involved,
for me it made no difference.
It
is now February 2008. I do not know what my quality of life
would be like now had I chosen to follow the allopathic cancer
treatment. What I do know is that I look and feel fine, and have
had no reason to regret my choice. I continue to work, walk the
dogs 2 to 3 miles a day, and live a normal life. I recently
returned from an 850 mile each way driving trip with no repercussions.
I turned 71 in March 2008.
Back in 2005, my first step was to discuss with my
husband how we should react to this news. My proposal was to take a 3
month period, implement all the therapies I chose, and then check our results
and make further decisions based on that. Fortunately, I have a
supportive and unique husband, who also works along with me here at our
business!
I then read an excellent book called Cancer
Free (http://www.beating-cancer-gently.com/cancer-strategy.html) by Bill Henderson, which pulls together, discusses and
critiques ALL the natural therapies available, so you can make your choice. I
did this to validate my choices, because it became obvious to me early on that
there are many, many people out there who are only trying to make money from
desperate cancer sufferers.
These
are the changes to my routine I made in May of 2007
It was not easy. I kept thinking
"if this doesn't work, what does it say about my lifetime of advocating for
natural medicine?". Also, since I cannot see the tumor, I had no
means of knowing whether I was wasting my time while it grew aggressively.
It was also practically difficult.
The diet involved considerable change to my routine, giving up my one cup of
coffee a day, becoming a quasi-vegetarian, and cutting out all comforting
sources of sweetness.
Every day I had to reaffirm my conviction that
this would help, that I am getting better, that the tumor is
shrinking. Fortunately, I did not experience the depression that some people
understandably feel, nor the fear. Perhaps being so busy helped:
after all, if I wasn't eating some concoction, juicing, or swallowing some
supplements - I was doing the dishes: you would not believe how many dirty
dishes this generated. Taking care of business, and having 2 Irish
Wolfhound puppies in the house took care of any time I had left over!
This is the time when I began to investigate the
connection between thought, character, spirituality and Cancer. What is
increasingly being called "Mind/Body Medicine." I added daily
meditation and Yoga Breathing to my regimen, and began to make a genuine effort
to overcome the impatience which I know is my main character flaw.
At no point, funnily enough, did I consider
myself "sick". More and more I find reference to the fact
that people who take charge of their health in these circumstances, and have a
positive outlook, are more likely to defeat the disease. I continued
to work, walk with the dogs 2 to 3 miles a day, and forget about the tumor most
of the time.
I also reached out online, and was startled to
find legions of people offering methods for "curing
cancer". I joined a Group on Yahoo
for people using the Budwig Protocol -
it helped me through the first few weeks, very supportive. However,
it is run by a Dictator. He barred me from the list when I most needed
support, because he doubted that I really had cancer: it was suggested I was pretending
to have cancer to lure the group to my website. I made the mistake of referring
someone to my article on CoQ10, but was given no opportunity to explain, nor any
second chance.
However, if you are in this situation, I
recommend contacting them and joining the group: it is comforting to
communicate with other people in the same boat!
In December 2005, after enduring 2 return
visits to the Doctor during which, as I say, he glumly informed me he thought
the tumor was growing, I had another CT scan. I was relieved and delighted to
find there was progress (or should I say REgress?), grudgingly confirmed
by the Radiologist who termed it "minimal improvement". The main
tumor has shrunk by 1/2 centimeter, and all the other enlarged lymph nodes,
which had previously been in the danger range, were now under 1 centimeter.
It is not often that an untreated tumor shrinks
over a 3 month period. One friend I was discussing this with said "I think
that's what they call partial remission". I consider this
hopeful.
In July 2006, having read a great deal
about impressive results achieved with Low
dose Naltrexone (http://www.lowdosenaltrexone.org/ldn_and_cancer.htm) I began to take the prescription at
4.5 mg daily. Here we come to the part where I prove I am fallibly human.
Having given over my condition to a prescription drug, even
though it was at almost homeopathic dosage, I fell away from my diet and
supplement program. I was not taking all the supplements I originally
designed for my self, I stopped juicing daily, I began to allow wine and sugar
to creep back into my diet. I paid the price. In view of my experience,
I cannot recommend LDN for cancer, though many people have experienced good
results using it for MS.
In April of 2007, it became
obvious to me that the tumor was growing. While I still felt good, as
stated above, continued to walk the dogs, work, garden and carry on as before -
I could feel a change in the tumor: in a way I am lucky to have it right
there in my abdomen where if I stretch out, I can feel it quite clearly.
It was no longer just in my abdomen right under my sternum, but was stretching
down into my groin area.
In May, I sent off
for Dr.
Navarro's HCG test , which came back not amazingly high, strangely
enough, but suspicious.
At this point, my Doctor
was very anxious to see what was going on with the tumor, and wanted me to take
another CT scan.. This I refused to do, based on the knowledge that the amount
of radiation involved in one of these is truly health threatening. A CAT
scan of the abdomen is the equivalent of 500 times the dose of 1 chest X-ray!
He then scheduled me for
an MRI, which confirmed my worst fears - here is the report I
received:
The
mass is larger than previous and now measures 18.5 x 8.3 x 15.0cm.
It surrounds the aorta and now ‘lifts and displaces the inferior
vena cava (IVC) far anteriorly up to the right abdominal wall’ (main
vein that brings blood back to the heart). ‘The IVC is
markedly stretched and displaced and compressed at various points in
the abdomen’ but is patent. A small amount of soft
tissue material is present within the lumen of the IVC. This
implies tumor involvement into the IVC and implies the possibility of
metastasis to other areas of the body. The mass extends into the right
kidney and the right kidney is displaced laterally…the right renal
artery is markedly stretched.
It has taken me
several weeks to come to terms with what has happened, but the last week or so
has been taken up with planning my course forward.
In fact, the June 2007
newsletter had news that was pretty gloomy:
I decided jokingly that I had a highly nutrition resistant form of
cancer, and the tumor had grown despite all the careful dietary rules, and the
many, many supplements.
Then, as validation of
the "nutrition resistant " theory, interesting new research I
encountered showed that tumors resist any effort to overcome them through
immune system support, by shedding cells called exosomes which induce the
death (apoptosis) of the immune warriors raised to fight them. My take
is that all the things I did to strengthen the immune system certainly
strengthened the organism (me), but could not defeat the enemy within which
grew stronger as it grew bigger.
Tumour-derived
exosomes or microvesicles: another mechanism of tumour escape from the host
immune system? http://www.nature.com/bjc/journal/v92/n2/full/6602360a.html
This changed the elements of my attack
considerably.
First, it became evident that unless I could shrink the tumor
significantly, I would continue to lose the battle.
Second, a method of denying the tumor what it needed to grow had
to be found.
Third, an attack on the organisms produced by the tumor
had to be mounted.
Fourth, the immune system needed to be continually defended and
strengthened.
Accordingly, these are
my plans.
enroll for the Insulin
Potentiated Therapy - to shrink the tumor - http://www.contemporarymedicine.net
buy a Rife type zapper called Terminator
- to hopefully zap the immune system enemy - http://freedominhealth.ie/zapper.html
in conjunction with careful diet and supplements - to
support the immune system
add coffee enemas for detoxification.
I was
delighted to find that a true pioneer of low dose chemotherapy
lives and practices in Chicago, a mere 4 hour drive from me.
There is a distinction
between Insulin
Potentiated Therapy (IPT) (http://www.contemporarymedicine.net), and low dose chemo as offered by some
allopathic physicians. The conventional procedure uses the same drugs as
ordinary chemo, simply in lower doses. It has even been suggested that
using this approach may cause the cancer to become resistant to chemotherapy,
and perhaps even return. No-one knows for sure.
IPT, in contrast,
takes advantage of the fact that all cancer cells have multiple insulin
receptors to piggy back VERY low doses of the chemo straight into the cells when
those receptors have been opened, where it has the effect of poisoning the
cancer without any serious side effects to the patient. Less is, in effect more
- a very elegant solution to the problem of how to kill cancer cells without
harming healthy cells.
In the time between the beginning of June and now, July 2007, I have
continued with the CAAT (Controlled Amino Therapy) program, the
recommended diet and supplements that go with that plan (I started
this in May), the Rife machine, and the detoxification with coffee
enemas.
BUT I also finally followed my own link, which ironically had been
on my website all along, and began the Insulin Potentiated
Chemotherapy.
While I have serious reservations about much of what conventional
medicine does (and particularly the politics of it) I also feel it is
folly not to avail oneself of the discoveries that have been made, if
they can help. This method of attacking cancer cells without harming
healthy cells I consider to be an example of the best in modern
medicine.
At this point, half way through July and 4 treatments into a 6
treatment cycle, the tumor has been reduced to a pale shadow of its
original size, a fact that has now been confirmed by an MRI
which shows it has shrunk by over 40%.
And
as promised - NO side effects - nada - zero - zilch. The hair, such as it is, is still here. No nausea, no
chills, no vomiting, no weakness. Nothing negative at all.
Here is the
main web site for Insulin Potentiated Therapy (http://www.iptq.com/). I spent quite a
few hours cruising there and following their links, and once again I
am amazed at how a therapy with so much potential has received so
little attention from the Medical mainstream.
I wish that anyone diagnosed with cancer had this information at their
disposal, so that their first choice (and let's face it, the harsher
alternatives will still be out there should IPT for some reason fail)
could be a therapy with a high success rate, but without the extreme
consequences of conventional chemo and radiation.
I also find it illuminating that many of the allopathic physicians who
pooh-pooh it, do so because its success rate of over 60% cannot be
documented. Even if it were HALF that, at 30% it would still be a slap
in the face to the 4% or so that conventional chemotherapy can claim.
You will find a listing of Doctors at the main link who can perform
this therapy, and if you need one I wish you the good fortune I had,
to find one really near you.
Wherever you may be , consider Dr. Ayre of Chicago; he
has 30 years of experience with this therapy, and I cannot recommend
him too highly. Here is his web site http://www.contemporarymedicine.net/
A compassionate
and sensitive physician, Dr. Ayre was so affected by the sufferings of
patients on conventional anti-cancer regimens that as long ago as the
1970s he began searching for the acceptable alternative he knew must
exist. When he found the originator of IPT, Dr. Perez in Mexico,
he left his cozy practice at considerable sacrifice to himself
professionally and personally, to study this approach. He is arguably
the most experienced administrator of IPT in the US.
At that time,
over 30 years ago, while the evidence existed that IPT was effective,
the science explaining its success was non-existent: Dr. Ayre
put a scientific face to the procedure, and has already made
presentations to the NIH (National Institute of Health ) in
Washington, with another visit scheduled for October. In fact,
if our MRI shows what we expect it to show, I may form part if his
presentation!!
I found a therapy called Controlled
Amino Acid Therapy (CAAT) which in my opinion, offers
a great deal of promise for starving a cancer. http://www.apjohncancerinstitute.org/aboutus.htm
CAAT is an amino acid and carbohydrate
deprivation therapy, using scientifically formulated amino acids, that
arrests the growth of tumors and causes them to regress by altering or
impairing the development of cancer cells. It is a six-to-eight month
course of therapy that enhances chemotherapy and/or radiation, as well
as lessening their toxic effects. CAAT, which can be taken in the
comfort of one's home, has also been proven to be effective alone.
I do not entirely understand why it is not better known, though
the lead researcher, Angelo John, son of the originator of the program, tells me
it is as simple as not having enough money.
Well, I can certainly relate to that: anyone who comes up
with a way to address cancer that is simple and relatively inexpensive, is
probably going to have trouble raising money! THEY ARE LOOKING FOR SUPPORT
AND DONATIONS - you
can support this non-profit here. http://www.apjohncancerinstitute.org/donate.htm
I began to implement that, together with the careful diet the
system requires which limits carbohydrates, sugars, and proteins to support the
therapy.
My first step was to
contact my Life Insurance company to organize what used to be called
"Accelerated Death Benefit", but is now more tastefully known as
"Living Needs". The power of words! Some of you may not
know this, but if your physician determines that your condition may be terminal
within a year, many policies have a clause which allows you to withdraw a
percentage of your interest in the policy without penalty, to use as you wish:
this means ANY therapy you choose. And it does not have to be repaid. For
other options, see Financial
help for cancer patients. http://www.robertsreview.com/viatical.html
Unfortunately for me, since
allopathic oncologists considers lymphoma of my type highly curable with
conventional chemotherapy, my plea to have the money made available for
alternative therapies fell on deaf ears. Nor do Medicare or Insurance
Agencies generally pay for alternative therapies. To fund the expensive
treatment, I will have to take out a loan on my policy.
