Vince,

Let me be the first to say congrats on your pet scan results and managing of

your disease. It is great to have a scientific means of measuring your results

and help plan your future choices! I look forward to many emails in the future

describing continued resolution of your disease elements!

Continued Health!!!!!!

Bravo, VGammill,

I could not be happier for you!

Best Regards,

Sandy

I did a PET-CT to track the effectiveness of the immune meds and

differentiation meds that I cooked up for myself. The idea was to

heal the very large metastatic cancer without causing ulceration, so

I would be able to avoid any surgery. The sacral mets were present

before I started my program. A month ago I was limping and that is

completely gone. Everything seems to be going according to

plan. The lung metastasis is actually a plus. This takes any

surgery with a bogus " curative intent " off the table. The low SUV

takes chemo off the table. I'm probably easily in the top 1% of all

patients with this stage 4 cancer and with my supposed terminal prognosis.

My health has completely returned and the Center retreat program is full

time...........

VINCENT,

This is such good news. I am sure you know that so many people are rooting

for you and cheering you on in your quest for a return to perfect health.

As someone who has just recently completed your program and taking the meds

that you cooked up for him, my husband, Marty is doing phenominally well and

gaining his strength more and more every day. Today, he climbed up the two

flights of stairs to the doctor appointment we had. He used to take the

elevator. He did this with relative ease and no exhaustion at the top of

the stairs. We are so grateful for your care and for our own selfish

reasons want to make sure nothing ever happens to you. You are a gift to

all of us who depend on you.

Best of health

Nili
