In a previous post, I mentioned that I was going to find a DETOUR to get around that metaphoric speed bump and brick wall that my surgeon created to scare me into AMA compliance. I have been researching cancer (and other disease) cures for years. There is always something new to learn. The greatest lesson I have learned is that we in this country are very far behind the rest of the globe in cancer research. It isn't that we aren't smart enough or don't care. It's that we are OWNED by big pharma. They work very closely with the FDA to shut down doctors, clinics, and researchers who work with alternative therapies. There is Nicholas Gonzalez in New York, Stanislaus Burzyinski in Houston, amazing clinics in Reno and Tijuana. But, as far as I knew, there was nothing around the DC area. Or so I thought.....
Prior to my diagnosis, some time last summer, I found an interesting website created by a young guy who cured himself of colon cancer, after having surgery and rejecting chemo. One day, coincidentally right after I was diagnosed with cancer, he posted an interview with a young woman from Baltimore who had cured her cancer using mistletoe therapy.
Mistletoe? Huh? You mean that plant that we hang in doorways at Christmas time to lure people into giving us a smack on the lips? Now, I have seen a lot of youtube videos and I have read a lot of testimonials. Some are just absolutely amazing. They seem miraculous. And I know that for some, these therapies don't work... and yes, some folks do hit the brick wall. I am looking for the detour to take the LONG road around that brick wall. Some people follow the chemo/radiation route and they still end up hitting the brick wall. We are all going to hit that brick wall eventually. For me, it is the route we take to get to that brick wall that is important. It's all about the journey, not the destination. I do not want to destroy my immune system, lose my appetite, puke up what I do manage to put into my belly, lose my hair, turn a dozen shades of gray. That's the speed bump my surgeon tried to sell me. Ain't takin' that road.
So.... rather than head off to Tijuana or Houston, I decided to give this mistletoe thing a shot.
This will be my "road less traveled."
Mistletoe, like many plants, is poisonous. As is chemo. Because tumor cells are our OWN cells that have lost their normal growth control, it is extremely difficult to find a medicine that will poison the tumor cells and not the rest of our bodies. Remember, the biochemistry of what makes our cells healthy or sick is pretty much the same biochemistry the tumor cells are going to have. That is why so many chemo regimens DO make one sick and the cells that grow the most (e.g. intestinal cells, hair follicles) are going to be sucking up the most medicine. 'The difference between medicine and poison is.....dosage". And therein lies the very thin line a person with cancer and their oncologist have to walk....I promise you, though, eat enough mistletoe and you'll get plenty sick, maybe even drop dead.....there is a reason they warn us to keep the mistletoe away from dogs and cats, too. No doubt the mistletoe doses you'll get will be low enough to avoid making you sick, but will they be high enough to poison the cancer? Considering several friends that have survived breast cancer for many years now, this is one disease I think the AMA-docs know how to handle. oxox
