Hi !

Welcome on board! ...with two children and a husband you sure do have

a lot to fight for! It sounds like you have received some good help

early on here, so hopefully you will have no problems winning this

battle.

I have had live blood analysis done--several different times. Results

seem to be dependent totally upon the experience (and honesty) of the

practitioner. The first time that I had it done, I was told they

couldn't read it because my blood was all clumped together (...that

particular practitioner has a reputation for scamming people and

ripping them off, just so he can put them on supplements). After that

I saw a Board Certified ND and he did the test and told me that my

blood looked good. (I don't know how it could look good when I was so

sick.) Just recently, I saw a herbalist who found a lot of different

things going on. This fellow recovered from a massive heart attack

and redirected his career to alternative medicine. I remember mainly

that I have a high level of candida in my blood. (Candida seems to be

found with a lot of different illnesses, including cancer.) He found

parasites. I was low on iron. And I wasn't drinking enough water.

(None of this came as a surprise to me; however, it did get me started

on the road to treating these things.) I have just completed one

episode of herbal treatment (Black Walnut, Cloves and Wormwood) for

the parasites and had some impressive results. I was going on to

another parasite cleanse, but have sort of lost my way because I have

been very ill with the flu that is going around. (Because I have an

adrenal insufficiency, I always suffer more than your average bear

during flu season. ;-) LOL

I must tell you that I have more confidence in the alternative

doctors, than I do with allopathic doctors. After 10 years of

disability, allopathic doctors still can't figure out that I am sick.

(...in spite of the fact that my entire endocrine system has

collapsed, they still insist that all I basically have is a

psychiatric illness. ...if you would look at my medical records you

would see who is psychiatric! ;-) LOL Every doctor who has given me a

psychiatric diagnosis has missed a major illness. In fact, I would

like to send the following article to my former doctors.

http://more.abcnews.go.com/sections/living/DailyNews/secondopinion.html

I have the so-called " Chronic Fatigue Syndrome " and Fibromyalgia, and

what research is finding is long-term patients are winding up with

cancer. I have not been diagnosed with cancer--mind you I have never

been tested. All I know is that something new is happening now and I

am really sick, again.

I am hoping that if I could find a good diet, I might reverse this

latest slide in my health. Previously, I was doing the diabetic diet

(as I am also diabetic); however, every alternative practitioner that

I have seen has told me that it is the worst diet I could be on. One

ND had me on soy milk and tofu and I had a violent reaction with my

bowels. (I have some type of colitis thing going on already, so I

really don't want to aggravate my condition.) Needless to say, I lost

confidence in that ND. My current ND wants me to do the Zone Diet.

But in all of my studies, I am thinking that it might be best if I

could follow a diet that cancer patients follow, especially since my

illness points in this direction. Could you please tell me what your

ND is having you do?

My problem is that I am very ill and find meal preparation very

difficult. In fact, my husband prepares all of my meals. And because

he does gourmet cooking, my " dieting " really cramps his style. He was

so happy when I fell off the diabetic diet. (I fell off because of

the stress I was experiencing with a group of doctors.) When I

recently announced to my husband that I was wanting to do more of a

vegetarian diet, he said tongue-in-cheek, " Oh, babes, your doctors are

all trying to kill you. Why don't you just help them along? " (You

wouldn't believe my doctor experiences!) So, as you see I have no

support from my husband and am on my own. If I could just get feeling

a bit better, it would be easier for me to keep a diet and do my own

meal preparation.

Hope I am not bringing you down with my own situation. I am quite

sick right now.

Once again, welcome to our group. I hope to get to know you better!

:-)

Kind regards,

Trudy

Subject: Introduction/Questions

Hello everyone! I'm new to the list and wanted to introduce myself to

you all. I am a 40 y.o. married female, 2 children, son-20 and

daughter-14. I have just been told by my Naturpathic Dr. that I have

cancer cells when he did my live blood analysis. I have seen my

bloodwork before (view it on monitor as he does it by microscope) and

I knew it looked very different this time. This was very scary as I

know you all know the feeling. For me, my first thoughts were my

children. They just lost their dad (my exhubby) to cancer last year.

Even though we were divorced, I was his caretaker. His parents were

deceased and he had no siblings so it left the children and I to care

for him. So my immediate thoughts were my children and how I wanted

to fight this with everything I had for them! Have any of you had

live blood analysis done? This particular Naturpathic Dr. sees cancer

patients from all over the US that come to his clinic for help. I had

my concerns about accuracy but then realized that with him treating

all those patients then surely he knows what the cancer cells look

like. I am receiving sooooo much flack from family and friends that

do NOT believe in what he does nor the lifestyle changes I'm making to

battle this. He told me that this was only

the beginning stage of this and if I followed his suggestions I

hopefully wouldn't have to do a more indepth program that he uses for

other cancer patients. First of all...are any of you familiar w/live

blood analysis...second....how do you deal with all the problems from

other people when you choose to not see a regular medical dr. for

this? I will be

converting over to the program which is mainly being vegetarian. I

have given up red meats and pork so far but oh myyyy is chicken hard

for me! hehe I am anxious to read some of the posts in the archives

from the past. Rex, I came to the site yesterday

searching for a group such as this and the first post I came to was

from you and Deb in regards to your wife. I knew I was in the right

place! Looking forward to hearing from you all!

Blessings,
