5 Year Anniversary with no formal treatment

April 4, 2010

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.

Sincerely, Steve
