Glioblastoma
On February 10th 2002 I brought my husband to the emergency room
with a splitting headache and projectile vomiting. We thought it was
a bad migraine but later found out that it was a brain tumor. On
February 12th he had surgery and the surgeon told us and the lab work
later confirmed that he had a Glioblastoma Multiforme IV. It is the
most deadly and fast moving brain tumor you can have. The surgeon
removed all of the tumor he could see. The doctor told our family
that Tom had about 26 weeks to live if he didn?t take any radiation
and if he did take radiation it might give him a year. Tom was in the
hospital for eight days. We were not sure what to do so we took the
doctor?s referral and went to radiation about a week after he got out
of the hospital. Tom only took five days of radiation and it made him
feel terrible, and sapped all of his energy.
We are Christians and knew that we needed to seek the Lord?s
guidance in this crisis. So we went to our Church and had Tom
anointed with oil and hands laid on in prayer by the elders of the
Church (James 5:14). After that some friends came forward and told
us of some alternative ways people were fighting and winning the
battle against cancer. Since the doctors did not hold out any hope we
decided to throw our lot in with the holistic treatments and did not
take anymore radiation. We started the holistic regimen in March.
Tom?s three month MRI looked good, his brain was clean and the hole
where they removed the tumor was empty except for a tiny line around a
portion of the inside of the hole. The doctor said that it could be
scar tissue, a benign bit of tumor or a regrowth of the Glioblastoma.
At the six month MRI his brain was completely clean. There was no
cancer at all. The doctor said that it was a miracle. In 14 years of
practice he had not seen anything like it.
This is what we did:
Take 1/4 cup Low Fat Cottage Cheese and mix it with 1 tablespoon
Flaxseed oil and eat it twice a day.
Take Three 750 mg Shark Cartilage capsules three times a day
Take a Borage Oil and CoQ10 supplement
Drink plenty of water
Try to get light exercise like walking
Get some sunlight
I also eat fo/cc twice a day with my husband. I'm trying to get
my kids to eat it too.
Tom walks at least 4 miles a day now and has started lifting weights
too.
We are having good results with the flax oil/cottage cheese, and
will keep it up for the rest of our lives. - Kelly
