Hi,

At the time this was written I did not even know the full story of the
Budwig protocol.  All I knew was adding it to my regular diet.

I am so thankful for those  that are doing more than I.
Anyway one looks at it, my days are probably numbered due to age
but I do not fear that time and I am thrilled that the things learned
over the past years will continue to be of benefit to many.

Both Betsy and the one who wrote me the letter havae been gone for
a number of years.

Both stayed on Chemo to the bitter end.

Betsy had a fairly remarkable recovery and was doing great
except that she stayed with the chemo.

I deleted th doctor's  name.

 Chemo will usually kill if one just stays with it. That is based on
observation.

The message below originally came from a friend of mine with advanced
Prostate Cancer.  He lived around 13 years from the time of diagnosis
and had every chemo and treatment that standard medicine had to offer.

He used the FO/CC for awhile and improved but did not ever give up his
doubts about the FO/CC being that effective and depended on chemicals
primarily.

Betsy is a friend of ours, in her 70s I suppose. She has multiple
myeloma,
a very deadly kind of bone cancer, and is being treated by the same
oncologist I go to.

We saw Betsy a couple weeks ago. She's bright eyed and bushy
tailed...her old self. She mentioned that Dr.----- had recently told her
she
was his "miracle patient".

This spring I had heard about Betsy's situation. It was greatly
different
from what it is today. She was extremely sick and unable to eat.
She could only lie in bed and was just wasting away. Her husband, Don,
thought she was dying. He may have been right.

It had taken a long time for her doctors to diagnose an obviously
deteriorating health condition as multiple myeloma,  so
that it was quite an advanced case before she was referred to
Dr.-------as I understand it.

I believe she had recently been started on chemotherapy by Dr.--------
a little before I learned what was happening. But no matte  how
good his treatment might have been, if she couldn't eat she wasn't
going to get better.

I went down to --------- and bought a pint of Barlean's lignan rich
flaxseed oil, some low-fat cottage cheese, a pineapple and some honey,
and took it over to Don.

Don made Betsy a smoothie, using some of the pineapple to cover
the taste of the oil. A little later I learned that Betsy had called the
smoothie  "delicious food". She could eat it!

Later still, I heard that Betsy likes tuna fish in her flaxseed oil
and cottage cheese smoothies, instead of the  pineapple. You can
use anything in the smoothies to make them taste good to
you.

In the meantime, Don had ordered some of the oil direct
from Barlean's.

If you're a cancer patient it's sold to you at wholesale and
costs about half as much as at-------------or other health food
stores, even with the shipping cost.

It wasn't too much longer before Betsy was able to get up and be in a
wheelchair. Soon she was able to stand and get around a little with a
walker.

A month or so ago she went in some cancer event that involved a
3-mile walk. She had intended only to do the first mile but ended
up doin the whole thing! She was back.

Betsy is an avid gardener and has one of the city plots. She had
been able to get the garden planted somehow, with help from
Don, and has been delivering great quantities of produce all
summer. Every now and then Don brings some by for us. He
thinks I saved Betsy's life.

Is Betsy's amazing response to the treatment of this devasting
kind of bone cancer because of the combined benefits of the
flaxseed oil and chemotherapy?

My friend----------
***********************

There is controversy here. I see this as an example of the fact that the
flaxseed oil will be of real benefit even though chemo is being used.

I personally do not know of many , if any,situations where the
continuous use of chemo has resulted in real recovery.

Chemo does kill cancer cells, maybe 9d5 to 98% of them, but does
not kill all of them.

The patient is now in remission but the resistant cells continue to
survive and increase. As the "treatment" is continued, the cancer
cells are not affected, but the good cells of the body and the
immune system, heart, liver, etc. are contuing to be destroyed.

When the patient is aware that the cancer has "returned" a new
chemo must be tried because the old one is no longer effective.
The cycle is again followed and the patient is again in "remission".
The word "remission" is used because there is no expectation of a cure.

With each new cycle of chemo the patient is increasingly weaker
and less able to fight the invader and death will occur.

The flaxseed oil, with the Omega 3, may be a major help but
cannot do the whole job against the destruction of the chemo.

I do not know the complete details, but I understand that the
chemo was continued and eventually Betsy passed away.
