Snowflakes

Wow! Evidently a lot of you DO read this blog because I received some messages yesterday asking how the PET-CT scan went (it was scheduled for December 9). Ok... so the scan..... it didn't happen yesterday because I rescheduled it to the last week in December -- one reason: because I couldn't get an oncologist appointment close to the scan time. But in reality, I wanted more time to apply some new protocols based on my visit with Barbara.

Who is Barbara? She is an acupuncturist/nutritionist/bio-feedback practitioner whom I saw 15 years ago for problems I was having with chemical sensitivity. When I found she was still in the area and doing bio-feedback, I made an appointment.

I have been having a lot of "wonderings" about all the things I am doing and about the protocols I received in Mexico. I know that all of the therapies I am on have been reported to be successful for fighting cancer. They can each contribute to pushing open the door to healing. Question is -- which one is the "key" to that door? I needed to find out before I headed back to Tijuana -- was it the IV Laetrile? the IV vitamin C? Selenium? Glutathione? Was the key to that door the dendritic cell vaccines (which I am still taking, by the way)? Was it diet? Supplements?

Barbara reminded me that we are all snowflakes -- not one like any other. This is why some folks are highly successful with one therapy while others might not be.

Trying to describe how Barbara gets the answer she does is not something I feel I can adequately describe. She uses a Bio-Mat (heated mat filled with amethyst crystals), which the patient lies on. She uses a computer program to assist her. However, most of the work she does herself. Suffice it to say, she can "read" my body. I'll never forget my first visit with her (15 years ago!) when she told me my gall bladder was in a bit of distress; I had just (well, the previous month) had a gall bladder attack and hadn't informed her of that. She just "knew." And she asked me if I was thirsty; when I said I was, she said, "I figured as much as your body seems to be in need of hydration."

Barbara went through the list of all the therapies I was on in Mexico and all the supplements and protocols I am on presently. She rated each one numerically, 10 being the highest, 1 being the lowest.
Interestingly, according to Barbara, the one therapy I was given in Tijuana that rated a 10+ was intravenous vitamin C. Now this is interesting because the Greek Test (blood test sent to Greece to evaluate my cancer cells' sensitivities to certain supplements or drugs) rated vitamin C with a high score; and Barbara was NOT aware of this. So her results paralleled the Greek Test. A couple of other supplements also scored highly -- but for the most part, the supplements I am taking did NOT rank up there with what I needed the most.

So -- based on this finding and others (it was a 3-hour session.... no way can I go into detail), I have increased my vitamin C intake 4 times what I was taking before. The other major changes (which are really pretty simple) are:
1) consuming 40 ounces of warm water with lemon juice every morning before consuming food, and 2) exercising on my rebounder (mini-trampoline) for 5 minutes, twice daily.

Barbara was also able to determine that making these simple changes would most likely have a significant impact on scan results, even in a three-week period. Thus, my change of scan date to December 28.

So, that's the news, folks. My visit to Barbara reminded me that just when we think we have all the answers, someone offers up another idea. We are, indeed, all SNOWFLAKES!
