Guest guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Hi, I never post but am an avid reader (I have cancer and you guys are awesome). Is this the Jim who was so involved in the Casey case? he was on TV during the search for Caylee and became quite a hero in that community because he was terminal and very sick but went down and searched for Caylee.. His full name rings a bell to me. I do have info if this is him. avelinedearriba wrote: Hello Roze, > I wrote Jim couple of times and he didn't answer.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Jim sent me an e-mail from hospice on June 23rd saying that hospice was denying him TPN because " it was curative, not palliative. " He felt very frustrated as he was quite determined. At 09:06 AM 7/9/2009, you wrote: >Last we heard from him, he was in a lot of abdominal pain...has >anyone heard from him since????

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I had hoped that Jim would come on and speak for himself. He responded to an email I sent him about two weeks ago. I think that the best we can do at this point is to continue to send him good thoughts and prayers (if you are so inclined). ar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Roz, I spoke with Jim on the telephone last night and I told him many people care about him and were concerned. I asked if he wanted me to rely anything to the group. He said to let everyone know he has had a good last week and July 4th and has been spending time with his family. He so appreciates all the love and support from everyone. He said he would be getting back on the site soon. Sincerely, Dorr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Thank you all very much for your love and concern! I will state unequivivably that without this support would not be alive today, or at the very least I would be completely mentally incapacitated with fear. I love and care deeply about every one of you, even those that I have " tangled with " a bit in the past. For those that don't know me very well, I started hanging out on this board about 8 months ago to try to find a solution to my stage 4 colon cancer. For quite awhile I was doing quite well! I had sort of developed my own protocol that consisted of some heavy hitters including LDN, Artemix, Sutherlandia OPC, IP6, and various other " lighter " supplements to help back them up. Everything seemed to be going quite well until about Easter, when I suddenly and unexpectedly started experiencing severe pain in my gut. A CT scan revealed that there were mets in my mesentary area of my gut that were likely cutting off the blood supply to my intestinges, giving fairly severe angina-like pains, only with intestinal origins and not heart origins. WTF? Where did these come from and why did they appear out of the blue, without much warning? So I've tried a little of everything to zero in on their causes. I tried anti-spasmotics. I tried cutting out all supplements for a week. I tried juice fasts. I tried playing around with various levels of herbs and supplements. I tried seeing two local naturopaths to help, and neither was much help. (Sigh). And for those of you on this board who are naturopaths or chioropractics, PLEASE rest easy -- I don't sue people! I think erroneously got that impression many months ago that let to some friction between us. I am now, unfortunately, reduced to taking some powerful pain meds (oxycodone via patch and pill) and one tranquilizer every night to help me sleep. This means I can no longer taks LDN, because you cannot take LDN and opiate based pain pills at the same time. So I am kind of in retreat mode. I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE for failing to keep everyone informed on this board! You all are THE BEST!!!! BAR NONE. I have come to love you all, even those few with ideas I consider a bit out there. The fringe folk -- you still deserve my upmost respect for being a part of this brave and corageous battle too. I feel like a failure because things have been going badly for me. At times there is shame for me in posting, and an avoidance factor. I feel guilty about asking asking asking asking for advice, when obviously I have little constructive to add myself. (Otherwise I'd be getting better). No, I am not in hospice yet. But my pain is increasing and my stamina and mobility are decreasing, with is scary. I will do my best to check in at least once a day, and to try to contribute something positive to this wonderful group. If you don't mind, I'd still like to ask for advice. At least I can still offer advice on the spiritual realm. I talked with a few days ago and she said she posted a post about the fact that Death is not Failure. I have not read this post yet, and I need to. But just from the title, I would wholeheartedly agree. We are all going to die at some time, whether it be at 50 from colon cancer or at 95 from natural causes, or tomorrow from an automobile accident. Are we ready? Are we at peace with ourselves about this? I know for sure that I am not, because of the fear I still have surrounding the issue. I have a LOT of work to do between God and I reqarding this isse. And it is frustrating, because I keep running into people who I consider to be far more spiritually immature than I am (and in no immediate distress) trying to force me to believe things, often very contradictory things. I hope we can talk about this more, because it is VITAL and CRUCIAL to a cancer patient's chances of survival. If you don't believe me, ask who has seen it first-hand, hundreds of times. What I have found to be true so far is the following (for myself): I must bless God every morning, noon, and night for the life he has given me and the beauty he has surrounded me with. I must forgive all people who have done real and/or imagined things against me. I must seek councel with God every time the fear of death and abandonment takes over me. Well, God bless you all. Sincerely. I love you all. The one piece of advice I would like to ask right now is the best way to increase my caloric intake, yet stay within an anti-cancer diet. God Bless you all! > > Roz, > > I spoke with Jim on the telephone last night and I told him many people care about him and were concerned. I asked if he wanted me to rely anything to the group.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Jim, Thanks for posting. Your " heavy hitters " don't seem to be doing much for you, though they may have bought you some time. LDN is quite mild and slow acting. It is unclear where it is most beneficial. I don't expect much from it when it is crunch time. Artemix and various artemesia derivatives don't seem to work that well. I am starting to categorize them with the great many conventional and alternative treatments that selectively kill or inhibit some cancer cells and give the rest free rein to grow. I went to the sutherlandia site http://www.sutherlandia.org/cancer.html which seems more honest than most. They only say it is a quality-of-life tonic and it helps appetite. I have not seen IP6 perform that well in humans. It may be because the producers mostly use inexpensive calcium phytate, but the research was done with sodium phytate or phytic acid. This is used with inositol, but it would probably work better if the inositol was oxidized. If you are not averse to the use of conventional meds (crunch time is a good time for reconsiderations) you might consider mitomycin C and magnesium valproate. I usually include parthenolide (from feverfew) but it is better if you find ways to solubilize it, e.g., as a guest molecule in inclusion compounds. Hydroxyurea is relatively non-toxic and it will stop ribonucleotide reductase. Cimetidine should almost always be used with colon cancers. Be cautious if your liver is inflamed. There are a number of conventional and research treatments for colon cancer that far outperform the formulary protocols that are currently imposed on patients. An example would be the use of AZT (there are tricks where you can use lower doses), dipyridamole (one of my favorites), xeloda (with potassium oxonate), and pluronic 85. This can whittle colon cancer tumor load down to virtually nothing. These strategies and others can kick down colon tumors, but the most important things are the prevention of metastasis and keeping the door open for future immune therapies. In the near future the price will come down on many treatments that are currently underground/unapproved, such as the subtraction of soluble receptors of TNFa. Jim, you can continue telling list members how you treasure them while you cock an eye for a low swinging chariot, or you can go down fighting. You seemed to be doing ok when you were a bit cantankerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Thank you ! I do what I can. Thank you greatly for your suggestions. Could you put together some sort of hypothetical protocol for some hypothetical colon cancer patient which I would promise nver to use? I had the luxury of being cantakerous at one time when I was feeling better. I no longer have this luxury. -- please -- some practical advice for me?

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Jim, Cut back on the morphine, and, Ta Da..!!, you can be cantankerous again. IL-2 with ranitidine is one way to kick up immune function with colon or colon--> liver. If your sialic acid is high I usually look to a vaccine which I make, or tannic acid, or Newcastle virus, or a type of non-pathogenic vibrio which secretes neuraminidase. If it is crunch time you can cuddle up with a swine flu patient for neuraminidase that's free for the taking. Many of these things are best administered rectally. Speaking of rectal, don't hesitate to make super strong solutions of pau d'arco tea as a retention enema. Pau d'arco is much stronger if you sequentially extract it into methanol, then chloroform or methylene chloride, and then after total removal of the solvents (I use a rotovap), take it up into DMSO. Jim, there are many things that you can do, but I would need to know your blood values and details of your current situation. Where do you live?

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Jim, I actually wrote " Death Is Not A Failure " because your wife asked me to when you were out of town. We had hoped you would read it. She and I talked briefly. Little did I know that I would be facing possible liver mets and disease progression in both lungs shortly after writing this. I am now feeling more tired all of a sudden and winded when I walk upstairs or hike. I was so down today I actually thought of asking my doctor to put me on hospice. If I am on hospice, I can utilize Physician-Assisted Suicide, which I campaigned for back in 1994. I was the campaign's poster child. I will not suffer with my death as I will utilize the drugs to end my suffering when the time comes. This does bring me peace-of-mind that I will not suffer. Death is ahead of me and you and everyone else. In some fashion, we all have to make the transition. If you can not find this article, then let me know and I will send it to you privately. Today I was tired of fighting. I don't mean this in a what some have labelled as a " self-pitying party, but that I have the fear that I can't beat mets to the liver. I got on the internet last night and was shocked to find that there are people who have lived 5 or so years with both liver and lung mets from breast cancer. On this particular website, everyone is doing chemo. I am considering chemo myself, if it gets the results of tumor shrinkage and longevity as the gals document. Never thought I'd hear myself saying I'd do chemo, but I am not ready to die, even though there are times I am tired of this on-going battle with this chronic disease and I think death would be an end to the suffering. I cancelled a trip to see my daughter tonight, then called her later and told her I feel up to driving the 100 miles south of Portland to see her and her family. As for your diet, I am struggling with this as well. I am throwing up every morning before I eat breakfast and I am not sure where this is coming from. My main calories are coming from fats in healthy oils (olive, hemp, coconut), coconut pulp, avocados, as well as nuts and seeds. As a breast cancer survivor, I know that many experts have said that a 10-12% of your diet should come from fats, but then what the hell am I supposed to eat then if I can't have grains (which convert to sugar) and can't have most fruits? Read my post on the wheatgrass powder thread and I outline what I am eating. I am struggling with the coconut water (it has some natural sugar in it, but is lower then most fruits) and did indeed have a coconut mylk " shake " this morning from a young virgin coconut. It settled my stomach immediately. If you look at Cousens/Young's protocol, I don't think most people can stay on it. It is extremely difficult, and yet I think it is the best one for anti-cancer. Sherrie Calbom (I sent you one of her books) has some yummy vegetable smoothies which has gotten me thru some tough days. I also came up with a raw soup warmed with warm water added to a broth I make from raw vegies. I can send you some recipes at the end of the week. But again, it is a struggle to get enough calories and yet be cancer-free. I made a ton of raw recipes today, taking them in a cooler when I visit my daughter and her family. The Cousens/Young diet is time-consuming as you have to sprout things and prepare the recipes in order to survive the limiting foods allowed. Nuts and seeds should be soaked before eating, etc. I also ate two non-organic strawberries today when I was preparing a client's dinner. I'm not perfect yet, but trying. Honesty of where you are at emotionally is important because then you dump out the negative and can take a look at where you are at, acknowledging that this cancer journey, especially for us Stage IV's is a roller-coaster ride. Normal emotions as fear, anger, frustation, wanting to die, fear of dying are going to come around. I called up my best friend the day after I got the written CT scan report and said, " I am ready to die. " She asked me, " What can I do? " I told her, " Let me go. I have been hanging on for three years for other people so that they aren't hurt if I die. " She wasn't at all comfortable with this and immediately decided there must be something I could do to fight this. The people we love, whether on this site or in our personal lives, have their own feelings to deal with as well, regarding our illness. It is difficult for them as well. I called my friend up the next day and apologized for being so negative, but I really think this came on the hills of and Farrah Fawcett's deaths. Why oh why did I watch the memorial with 's gold coffin---the image they kept editing into each scene in such a dramatic way? All I could think about was, " There's a dead body in there!! " I have to get ready to go out of town, so keep us posted if you are up to it, Jim. You are not a failure. You have tried so hard. No one on this site is a failure. Maybe we haven't been 100% perfect on our protocols, but at least we have done the best we could. Are we up for the fight? Are there miracles still out there? I believe so. I am going to take this day-by-day ONE DAY AT A TIME, ONE MINUTE AT A TIME if need be and do the very best I can to fight this. If I do chemo, I have to answer only to myself, not anyone else in this world. I don't have to hide the fact that I may do this. Why should I? If it has prolonged some folks's life, then I'm for it. I know that CHEMO is the nembasus of some folks, but then that's there right. Just a few weeks ago I stated I'd never do chemo. Well, then have your a## on the line and see what you'd do in my shoes? I am still open to alternatives, but they have to work. If anyone has any heavy-hitters they can throw my way, please do so. I am now in a very serious place and it is going to be a tough road ahead. Any help at all---mainstream or alternative is most appreciated. Oh and I don't sue naturopaths either. The only person I have ever sued was a collection agency who called my work. My boss called me into her office and asked, " , just tell me what you have done. The feds are looking for you. " Turns out the collection agency represented themselves as the federal government. Not only did I win $1,000, but I got the Oregon law changed on collection agencies. Anyway, I am still fighting. Here is a recent newspaper article on my fight against taxes on health care premiums in our state. It has a photo of me. http://www.oregonlive.com/news/index.ssf/2009/06/businesses_taxed_more_people_s.\ html I will be out of town until Friday.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 I live near Chico, Californa. Chico is 90 miles north of Sacramento. In reality, I live in Magalia, CA, in the foothills of the Sierras, which is 6 miles north of Paradise, which is 20 miles east of Chico. This is gold country. Many years ago a 52 lb nugget was found in Magalia. The gold is mostly mined, not obtained from placers or creekbeds. There are many quartz veins and the mines follow the veins. Paradise used to be named " Pair of Dice " but for some reason, the population got more Christian and decided that " Pair of Dice " was not a suitable name for a town. So they slightly altered it to " Paradise " . Magalia used to be called " Dogtown " because a couple up here had some breedable dogs brought over the Rockies and Sierras, and the miners were greatly in need of guard dogs for their mines and claims. Of course, the guy (and gal) who got the richest were the Bidwells, who made their fortune off of growing fruit and nuts. The area is still the number one area in the US for almonds and walnuts, as well as olives, cherries, peaches, pears, navel oranges, and many other types of fruit. Annie Bidwell started the Chico Normal College, which is now known as California State University Chico. Mr. Bidwell ran for Governor of California. The Bidwell " mansion " housed and entertained many senators, congressmen, and even Presidents on their way out visiting the west. General Sherman once stayed there too, but after only one night at the mansion he insisted on staying at a boarding room in town, because Annie Bidwell was a prohibitionist and would not allow alcohol in the mansion. In many ways, Annie was way ahead of her time, and was for women's and minority rights, and insisted that the native Americans in and around her property were treated decently and educated. http://images.google.com/images?sourceid=navclient & rlz=1T4GGLR_enUS310 & q=Bidwell\ +mansion & um=1 & ie=UTF-8 & ei=eJZaSrveBYWQsgOl_OCDCw & sa=X & oi=image_result_group & ct=t\ itle & resnum=5 > > > > > > Jim, > > > > > > Thanks for posting. > > > > > > Your " heavy hitters " don't seem to be doing much for you, though they > > > may have bought you some time.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Jim, Your area has many easily accessible olive trees. Olive leaf tea (which tastes terrible) is quite a good med when sipped throughout the day. The half-life of the oleuropein is probably only an hour or so. You can stabilize it with citric acid though. You can easily get a ten-fold concentration if you extract it into alcohol. It can be very useful as part of a colon cancer protocol. The North Sacramento Valley is a great place to do hyperthermia in the summer -- just walk outdoors.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Sometime ago, i wrote about a man who had lung cancer and was paralyzed. I also gave an update that he could sit up after taking lemongrass tea. My doc friend just came back, and gave me an update on the guy, he now feels stronger and can sit long hours and raise his hands up. Cancer still there but he is slowly improving. We make him take papaya tea and graviola tea, but he dislikes the taste and mainly just takes lemongrass tea. So there, this info might be useful to you Jim and others out there. > > > > Roz, > > > > I spoke with Jim on the telephone last night and I told him many people care about him and were concerned.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Of course, yes. How much should I take a day, assuming I can't hold too many other supplements down? > > > > Hello VGammill, > > > > , that Sutherlandia site you went to is for the fruitescens > > herb.
