Guest guest Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Great post Steve. These are the stories we all need to hear and remember. Thank you!!! Val From: " steve_lmcs " Greetings, I have reached a major milestone this month as it's been 5 years since diagnosis. Not sure how accurate it was but I recall reading back then, that only 50% of people diagnosed with fcc-NHL reach the 5 year mark. I also remember after reading that, that I was determined to " beat the odds " . My rationale back then, as it has been for these past 5 years, is that when two oncologists (and all the traditional research) tell me that the exact cause is unknown, and there is no cure, that my best chances would be looking into areas that traditional medicine does not address or consider. Great strides have been made in three areas. The first is that I was diagnosed via a flow cytometry blood test which provides the percent cancerous cells in the peripheral blood in addition to the various surface proteins or CD marker levels. My percent cancerous B lymphocytes were 65% at diagnosis and now hover between 0 and 5%. The second improvement is regression of some lymph nodes and reduction of pain in groin nodes. The third is getting my elevated white blood cell and lymphocyte count into the normal range. The further I go on this journey, the more I am convinced, actually, the more I know in my heart – that the two biggest causes or factors in my disease were mercury due to amalgam fillings and a systemic overgrowth of Candida. Additionally, the number one TNS was the incorporation of flax oil and cottage cheese with curcumin back in 2008. I experienced the SR of the groin nodes within 3 weeks of starting that protocol. And another critical TNS is sleep. The stubborn Italian in me refused to admit that I needed more than 4 hours a sleep a nite and that sleeping was not the sign of a sluggard. It took a long time but I now realize the importance of deep sleep in a dark room and it has been a significant factor in reversing the disease. What's left for me ? I still have enlarged but stable, waxing and waning nodes in the neck, and I have low platelet levels. I will refine my protocol as needed, to continue driving towards full reversal of this disease. I write this in the hopes that all members continue searching for the factors that have played a role in their cancer and, and as is my motto, never let go of the will to live.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Steve, Your story is absolutely wonderful and such an encouragement to those who feel alternative medicine will not cure them...you are living proof that it does. I'm so happy for you and will share your story every chance I get.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Thank you all for your online and offline words of encouragement. I should clarify that TNS is targeted natural strategy, a term that the owner of a lymphoma group that I belong to uses. best regards, steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Good Morning Steve! Congratulations. I am so pleased to hear of someone beating the system! I do the Flax oil & cottage cheese (BP) and would like to add the curcumin to my diet. Can you enlighten me as to how you take it? Is it a capsule or an organic herb I can buy at the store? How much per day. And do you take it by itself or incorporated in food /drink? I'll use anything I can in my arsenal to beat this darn cancer. And Thank you for sharing, it gives me hope. Toni D.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Steve, congratulations! Will you please clarify flax oil and cottage cheese with curcumin. Do you mean the mix of flax oil with cottage cheese (the Budwig diets)? And add curcumin to the mix? Thanks. In a message dated 4/4/2010 10:56:16 P.M.
