* Update on Alternative Treatments

Written 03/28/2006

Hi All,
Well, we’ve been home about a week and all is going well – AFTER a little scare Mom decided to give us. Without going into a lot of detail, the oxygen generator that Mom uses while at home was working intermittently. Until it was discovered, it caused a lot of anxiety, stress, and concern for “everyone”. Thanks Aunt [ ] for being there!!! We will be getting a portable blood/oxygen meter so that Mom can keep track of her own blood/oxygen level and give us all peace of mind.
Mom is now getting her energy back and eating well again. She went in for a blood test last week and should be getting the results back sometime this week. Hopefully a PET scan will be scheduled in a couple of week and will show the detailed results of her treatments.
For those who enjoy the more technical aspects of the treatments Mom received while at Hospital Santa Monica, I have included a brief description of each below.
Enjoy,
Emily

Every day (Monday thru Saturday) Mom received six different therapies;
Chelation drip: contained EDTA (a blood thinner and a known cancer fighting agent), hydrogen peroxide, multi vitamins with heavy doses of C and B complex, and trace minerals. This therapy not only acted as a detoxification but oxygenated the blood and provided mega doses of vitamins and minerals to boost the immune system.
Water Massage: Helps improve circulation, break down flem, extreme relaxation
Spinalator: Roller type massage table; helps improve circulation, break down
flem, relaxation
Mag Ray Light: Focused far-infrared heat that penetrates the body by 1.5 inches. It duplicates the healing properties of the sun.
Hyperthermia Lamps: Shortwave microwave heat that penetrates the skin. It attacks and destroys cancer cell membranes, thus killing the cancer cell, without damaging normal cells.
Far-Infrared Chamber: Same as the Mag Ray only a whole body therapy. It is known to remove heavy metals, relieve muscular and other pain such as arthritis and sprains, strengthens the cardiovascular system, lowers blood pressure and relieves stress.

On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mom received IPT (Insulin Potentiation Therapy) or Potentiated Microdose Chemotherapy. This therapy is approved by the U.S. National Institute of Health but is practiced by very few. Basically how it works is that insulin is used to bring the blood glucose to below 50mg/dl. Minute amounts of chemotherapy are introduced in conjunction with the glucose necessary to bring blood glucose levels back to normal. This creates a concentration of the chemotherapy agent in the cancer cells because of the extra amounts of insulin receptor sites on the cancer cells. This results in an exceptional uptake of the chemotherapy by cancer cells. This therapy makes perfect sense to me and appears to have greatly benefited mom where traditional chemotherapy failed.

During the second week of treatments mom was provided with a nebulizer with Germanium in it. This therapy is very good at opening the bronchial tubes, breaking down flem, oxygenating the whole body, not just the lungs, and building up white blood cells and the immune system to better kill cancer cells.

In addition to the treatments, her “home protocol” both while at the clinic and continuing at home includes mega doses of vitamins, minerals, and herbal supplements, along with continued use of a nebulizer. The protocol is designed specifically for lung cancer and contains known substances to boost the immune system while destroying cancer cells.
