Update from NC - Feeling Hopeful

Hello from beautiful North Carolina!

This has been a week of hope. My husband officially started treatments this week. I looked at a pic of him from the week before we got down here & looked at him today. The difference is between night & day. He is looking better already. My husband & I were just shocked at how he looked. His PCP & our local hospital said he had long haul Covid & to just rest & he would get over it. I'm so thankful that we went to another hospital & got the answer to what was REALLY wrong.

A typical day at the clinic starts like this - he weighs in to see where his weight is at. Currently he is about 20 lbs underweight, at one point he was 25 lbs under weight. He doesn't have 25 lbs to spare. He then goes around the corner to see in a chair. He had a PICC line put in on Wednesday. This allows medical personnel to access a vein anytime. Every Monday they draw labs to see where he is on his numbers. Three days a week they draw blood & treat with ozone. This puts oxygen into the blood. It will pass thru the rest of his blood & make it more healthy than what it is now. I'm already seeing a color improvement from what it was when they started last week. They then start one of many daily IV's that he will receive that particular day. He might get minerals, an immune booster, Vit C, glutathione or other blood boosters. They are unable to chelate him at this time because his iron count is not high enough. Chelation really takes a toll on the body & he just isn't ready for that.

From there, he heads to the hyperbaric oxygen chamber room. He removes his shoes & his belt. They then put a special hood on him to concentrate the oxygen flow. It looks something like the hood you see here. He needs to wear ear plugs as well to protect his ear drums.

This is his least favorite therapy. He is under pressure for 45 minutes & then it takes 15 to depressurize the chamber so they can open the door & he can come out. They tried to take him to a deeper depth & but he had a hard time breathing. So, they are keeping him at a moderate depth for now. With the cancer in the lungs & his lungs filling with fluid constantly, he has a hard time breathing sometimes.

Cancer can't survive in an oxygen rich environment. The hyperbaric chamber is very effective at getting oxygen into areas where it previously wasn't oxygen rich. A great way to give cancer its walking papers.

From there he goes to the lymphstar room. This therapy involves putting probes on various parts of his body to activate & drain the lymphatic system. They start with putting the probes on the center of this chest for 6 minutes, then to the back of his neck. Then on either side of the chest under the arms, then sometimes behind the small of his back, pelvic area & behind the knees. Each area is for 6 minutes. Once he is done with probes, he stands on a table that vibrates back & forth. The speed goes from slow to quickly. There are three different levels with level 3 being the most intense. His first day he sat for the first four minutes as he didn't feel he wasn't ready to stand so he sat down for the first 4 minutes. He then stood up & stood on the machine for the last six minutes. This drains the lymphatic system even more. There is more evidence of this later on.

From there he goes to the Rasha room. In this room, he puts headphones on & listens to sounds & music thru a crystal. The headphones need to put on a certain way. I don't know why this needs to be except for maybe certain sounds need to reach certain sides of the brain. This room last about 2 hours. He usually snoozes during this time but I'm sure the healing affects of the sounds are still healing. You can read about the Rasha machine at this link.

At this point, he either goes to the IV suite to finish up for the day or he might head to another room to do a aqua detox foot bath. He did one on Monday & we were totally surprised by what we saw. The water turned black & foamy. The foam indicates toxins draining from the lymphatic system thru his feet. The feet have the biggest pores so this makes total sense.

On Tuesdays & Thursdays he meets with Dr. Sara. At these sessions, she works on the psychological aspects of the healing. He was asked to talk about certain blood members of his family for 10-15 seconds each. His parents, his grandparents on both sides & his spouse or anyone else who had a significant impact on his life. A machine measures the intonation of a persons voice & any emotional response. It then develops a song to help you move thru any emotional issues you have with a certain person. He was able to move thru 2 people this week. When the machine says you are clear of a person, it plays a certain kind of song for you. This kind of therapy is called Evox. You can read about Evox at this link. Psychological healing can hold a person back from the physical healing that needs to take place.

One day a week he meets with Dr. Jane Garcia. She is in her mid 70s but is smart as a whip. She has also had lung cancer that was cured by the methods used in this clinic. We are very grateful to have her & it gives us hope that we are going to beat this. She asked him many questions about his health prior to the diagnosis, how we found out & she was very surprised that he had no symptoms prior to this indicating he had cancer in a very advanced stage. She adjusted the supplements he is supposed to take daily, added a couple of new ones & continued to work on the game plan on getting him on the road to recovery.

One day a week he gets an Aarsota injection. This is developed from his urine that he collected over a period of a few days to equal about 3 liters. It was sent overnight by Federal Express to a company in southern California to develop a injection. The urine has the specific cancer markers for his type of cancer. When this is injected into his body, it goes after the cancer. The stronger the reaction to the injection the better it is. This first go round he had chills, a fever that vascillated between 100.1 & 100.9, really sleepy & of course a sore butt where they shot it into him. As each week goes on, the shot will get stronger. Week 4 will be the strongest & the reaction may be bad. They require that someone go home with the patient & stay the night with them. This way reactions can be monitored & recorded. You can read about the Aarsota injection at this link. Another cancer patient talks about getting Aarsota injections to kick the cancer out of his body.

A few times a week, he gets Ondamed therapy. This therapy involves putting a collar around his neck that is attached to the machine & then a band around his midsection. It uses sound waves to heal the body. The first few days, they used the machine to find out what was wrong with his body exactly, wrote down the numbers & then use those numbers to tune the machine to work on that part of the body. The first thing that came up was that his lymphatic system is out of wack, followed by his lungs, digestive issues & an issue he never told anyone about....not even me. It showed he had a partially detached retina. This healed itself years ago. You can read about Ondamed therapy here.

After the first day of treatments, we came back to the room & he slept for almost 3 hours. The second day, he came back & laid in bed for a couple of hours & we just talked while he recuped. The third day is when he get the Aarsota injection. We came back to our hotel & he got in the tub for awhile. He was chilled & achy. He also slept sitting up in the tub. I gave him a bath while he sat in the tub & then he went & lied down for awhile. Thursday & Friday he actually felt pretty good when we got back. He was smiling & starting to act like him oldself. (More hope!)

He got a couple of pieces of equipment this week to help him. He got a rollator, which is a walker with wheels & a seat. He isn't having difficult walking but since the cancer is in his pelvis, it takes some of the strain off his hips joints. He also got a pillow to get his feet up when he is sleeping. When he is getting a lot of liquids during the day, his feet swell up. I got him some compression stockings as well.

I told him when we came down here that this was all about him. To get him well & to kick cancer out of our lives. Well, life had a different path for us. Many of you know I've had vertigo for almost 12 years. I had been symptom free for about a year. Last week, the vertigo returned with a vengeance. I can't lie down or get up without the world spinning. My two triggers are lack of sleep & stress. Guess what I have an overbundance of right now? (you guessed it) I've had tinnitus for the same length of time I've had vertigo. Back in December, it disappeared for a week. To hear nothing was a huge blessing but it returned later with a vengeance. I'd like you to turn on your TV, go ahead, I'll wait. Now turn the volume level up to 40, that is how loud a TV needs to be in order to cover up my tinnitus. So, my husband talked me into becoming a patient & getting some chelation therapy to maybe rid my body of heavy metals that may be causing the tinnitus. I have titanium pins in my right foot from a surgery that was supposed to make it easier for me to be on my feet longer.....it didn't. I also played in lead gas when I was a kid, helping my grandfather wash lawn mower parts with it & cooling my arms & feet off with it on a hot summers day. I know, so dumb by todays standards, but we didn't know back then. The paperwork is filled out & now I'm just waiting to talk to one of the Dr's to get started.

A few of the staff members said it's common that once you start treating one family member in their clinic, that the accompanying family member also gets some sort of treatment. That wasn't my plan but he insisted & told several staff members to get me the paperwork. I could get Vit. C, nutritional & some other simple stuff without becoming a patient "patient" but to get chelation, they need to check my blood to make sure I'm strong enough to do it. One nurse thought I was afraid of getting poked by the needle for an IV, I said no. I used to donate blood & I've been thru labor & delivery twice, fear of needles & IV's is not an option.

That will close this out for this week. I'll be posting an update next week on how things went. We want to show people that there are options. That chemo & radiation are not always the answer for cancer.

Until next time,

Lori
