Intravenous Vitamin C Treatments instead of Chemo

[Denise]

Hello,
I have stage 1 breast cancer. When I learned of my diagnosis in March, I immediately changed my lifestyle. I am now 80-85% raw and love it! I have engrossed myself with everything I can learn about my new lifestyle and have seen changes to my overall health as a result. My skin is clearer, I have more energy, I have lost weight, my migraine headaches have decreased by 95%, my chronic sinus congestion is gone. It is simply amazing. The drs. are recommending chemotherapy and I do not want to do it. It scares me more than the cancer. I am considering radiation therapy but am not 100% certain that I will do this either. I did have the tumor surgically removed from my breast via a lumpectomy. But I don't want it to come back! I have been researching intravenous vitamin c therapy in lieu of chemotherapy. From research I have done, it seems to be an effective, safe alternative. Does anyone know anything about it? Does anyone know if it affects pH balance because it is ascorbic acid? Or, does it turn alkaline once it is in the bloodstream. I don't know if I know what I am talking about! But I hope someone gets the idea and can offer some advice! Thanks for any insight!

Hi Denise,
I can understand your fear, but fear will cause stress which will could possibly cause the cancer to return.
Nothing is worse than fear and stress . I know its difficult, but try to put it out of your mind and think of positive things only.
There are several alternative therapies for cancer out there. If it were me, i would thoroughly research each one and find the one with the highest success rate for your type of cancer. And possibly combine a few, if its ok to do so.
Have you heard of the man who cured his cancer by incorporating laughter on a daily basis ?
Rent lots of funny movies and laugh alot.
If you do decide to go with chemo or radiation, do yourself a favor and dont stress about that either. Just eat right and try to laugh as much as you can. Whatever you decide, Im sure it will be the right decision for you.
Im wishing you all the best,
Olive

Denise,
Olive is 100% right about fear, it can get the best of us! I know it's easier said then done to laugh when everything seems so scary. I would suggest trying to combat the fear by doing some meditation --- taking control of the mind so it doesn't stew in fear. I use a lot of meditation CD's that helps my fears. (I've had severe panic issues.)

It sounds like you are on the right track in healing yourself!!!! Have you read the book, The China Study? Very, very good book that will help you understand your cancer and help you make right decisions. My cousin, who is my good friend, is dealing with the same issue as you. In fact, she is supposed to start her chemo treatments tomorrow. I tried to encourage her to change her diet and such to heal herself, but she thinks that that is not feasible. It saddens me that people will listen to their MD and don't have the slightest clue as to better, alternative and simple therapies like diet!

I've never heard of Vit. C treatments. I know many have had success with oxygen therapy and hydrogen peroxide therapy. Engrossing yourself in research for alternatives can be overwhelming --- so many different therapies out there for cancer, that you'll find on the internet. OVERWHELMING and which to do????? Have you considered working with an ND? I know of an NMD/MH that will work with you via the phone and with his own herbal tonics. (I went to him a few months back and am doing his tonics for my panic issues.) Anyway, he specializes in cancer and is world-renowned. He told me that a high percentage of his patients come to him in stage 4, when the doctors tell them that there isn't anything left to do, sending them home to die --- they come to him as a last resort. His success rate is in the 90 percentile!! He is not cheap, though!! The first consultation is 1 1/2 hrs on the phone (if you can't make it to his office in Florida) for $200. Each appointment afterwards is 1/2 hr. consultation via phone for around $50-60 each month. You get his workbook and he sets you up with diet, his tonics to buy and such. This guy is absolutely fabulous and with a great sense of humor!! Anyway, here is his website if you want to research him: http://www.godsherbs.com/Test/html/about.cfm
Let me know if you have any questions about him. I wish you much health, happiness and peace of mind.

Hi Olive and Treesha,
Thanks so much for your kind support and information. Since I posted my comment, I have done a lot of research. I have started vitamin c therapy along with b17 and have found a great ND who, as it turns out, is less than 15 minutes from my home! I also found an integrative oncologist who I am seeing this week. I am looking VERY forward to meeting with him to hear his opinion on everything. He will look at the whole picture and give his recommendations based on my condition and all treatment options available - alternative and mainstream. I actually feel better than I have ever felt. My lifestyle and nutritional practices have completely turned me around. My chronic headaches, stuffy nose and other allergies have all but disappeared. Diet and nutrition are so important and so overlooked. When, in fact, they make the most sense for healing oneself!

Best of luck!
Denise

You should really consult Dr. Brian Clement at Hippocrates, and, listen to his lectures on this site or Youtube. Just type in aliveraw at Youtube, all one word and no dot.com. There is B-17 in wheatgrass.

Hi Denise I havent heard anyone mention the healing powers of wheatgrass. Have you looked into that? Good luck and I hope you are blessed with healthy days ahead!!!

Yes, I do take wheatgrass everyday. I have heard about its benefits and do include it in my daily regimen. I also just found a study published on the National Cancer Institute site (very conservative site) that found that woman who cut their intake of saturated fats significantly reduce their risk of recurrence of breast cancer. Important information that anyone who is battling cancer should be aware of. Thanks so much for the information and for your kind thoughts!

Hi Denise,
I know that professor Ockerman in Gothenburg Sweden use C-vitamin together with EDTA to detox the body.
I Also read a research from Russia 1961 that young people who briefed ionised air (the air become cleaner) during some weeks, increased their C-vitamin in the blood with 188 %. It means that dirty particles into the body needs C-vitamins (read antioxidants) to be neutrized. Cooked food become very dirty. Also tapwater is very dirty, I clean always my tapwater with RO-filter.
Detox is very important with some herbs and exercise. Brian is so right. The cells are pumping by the gravitation when you move and the lymfsystem get help to cirkulate.

Have you read about Brenda Cobb who treated herself from breastcanser and cervitalcanser etc 1999? She should be dead before 12 month the doctors said, but she went of and healed her self with raw food and detox. Click on her name in google and read more. Now she has a much better life and is running a place in Atlanta to help other people similar as Hippocrates.

Most important: feel safe, that you have your life under controll and that you shall fix this. You are your own director and every cell react on your own feelings. They become and feel strong when you feel strong.

I read Green for Life two month ago and Victoria Boutenko gave me the understanding that Green Smoothie lower the sugar effect when it is blanded with a lot of green leaves. I feel with myself that Green Smoothie raw food is better than the typical raw food. It also normalise the stomach acid.

Good Luck, you can do it and will. You have allredy experiences that you skin is better, you have more enrgy and your migraine has decreased etc - so to do more in this direction will heal your body.

Hi Dan,
Thanks so much for your encouragement and kind words. I actually just saw Brenda Cobb speak with past weekend in NYC. She is a great speaker and very inspirational. And, I also drink green smoothies - which I love and have easily incorporated into my day. I have read one of Victoria Boutenko's books and have Green for Life but just have not gotten to it yet! All the best!

Denise, You're a trooper I can tell and I commend you taking charge to fight this thing and improve your lifestyle. I'd recommend you google the benefits of omega 3's, I have being doing research on women's health and have read many articles and journals re: omega-3’s helping with prevention and treatment of a whole host of health problems, including cancer. You can try a natural raw wholefood called mila, has 3000mg and a whole lot of other nutrients. www.foodmatters.lifemax.net/mila

Hi Shirley,
Thanks for your comments! I do take flax oil everyday to get my omega 3s. But, I will also look into the mila as you recommend. There is so much information out there. It just seems endless!
