Vitamin C infusions

I have been giving intravenous Vit C with B17 for a patient with endometrial cancer. Before we started the therapy she was always in pain and had poor appetite.

After 12 infusions in a span of 15 days, i can safely say its working very well, shes eating better, sleeping longer and gaining weight. In fact, she's already making jokes and complaining!

I hope we can continue this improvement until all the pain has disappeared. I cross my fingers and hope for the best

Pain meds thats are actually anti-epileptics

After reading this article, I'm reminded of the concern about what drug companies here in the Philippines are also doing. They are also giving Neurontin and Lyrica like they are candies!!!

Its bad already that its price is same as a lunch meal, what makes it worse is the patients feel like zombies with the drug. And to think these drug companies still keep pushing the off-label of these drugs.

Vicious

Another one bites the dust

After 1 week of fighting, patient with both breast and uterine cancers coupled with metastasis to the liver and abdomen finally let go.

She was a tough lady. Despite having a hard time breathing, she still refused to have oxygen until she was too weak to resist.

I learned a lot from her this past week, when the Spirit is strong, anything is possible.

Interesting!!!! here's the study

A Photojournalist's view on her "family project"

this is a beautiful story about Ms. Avakian. A strong woman indeed.

Opening a Medical Spa or Wellness Center

I've been rummaging through some papers trying to compile a set of resources for a business plan for a medical spa/wellness center.

Metformin for Cancer Stem Cells?

Hmmm... A great idea is brewing up :)

At least now everyone must realize that chemotherapy alone doesnt guarantee a complete eradication of cancer cells.

Movie Addict

Recently, I have been addicted to watching movies such as Beautiful Truth, What the Bleep, The Matrix, Supersize Me, Sicko as well as the Secret. All of them dealt with the fringe of medical science as well as views about health and society. Fringe meaning, its at the leading edge and not many people understand whats going on.

I wish these movies would move to mainstream and give people a real look at the situation!

Resistant to treatment

After doing so much and having the patient take all the necessary steps in his treatment for cancer, its seems like a losing battle. WE cant seem to get it undercontrol. When you did everything and patient still is not improving, something else must be at hand.

I asked to myself "did we miss anything?" I've addressed the diet, the works. He is compliant. So.. the most obvious question left was, is he emotionally healthy?

Apparently not. He's always irritated and angry at so many mostly mundane things. I was aghast! I've shouldve known better!

Dr.Hulda Clark has past away

Dr. Hulda Clark has passed away quietly due to complications of a spinal cord injury. She pioneered the theory that parasites in our body causes almost all the chronic diseases we suffer. She also invented the Zapper that kills parasites, bacteria, virus, and fungi.

Cactus Obsession

For the past year or so, I have been having this obsession with cacti for my clinic! I kept on getting a cactus but for some reason, I would either forget it or the cactus aint pretty enough.

Anyways, yesterday I was browsing a book by Master Choa Kok Sui, and he wrote that we can actually cleanse a room using salt and water, incense, and you guessed it... cactus. That made me laugh at myself.

I guess our inner knowing keeps on telling us what we should do, we just sometimes shoot it down as silly.

Beautiful Truth

Just saw this Movie, I think it speaks of the REAL truth about our society today! I hope everyone wakes up soon to the Beautiful and terrifying truth.

I urge everyone to get this movie!!!

CAM spending by American

In a newspaper article, American spent a total of US$33.9 Billion on CAM. Surprisingly, a large percentage was spent not on vitamins or minerals but rather on fish oil, glucosamine and Echinacea(US$14.8 Billion).

Wow!! thats a big amount!!!

Cory Aquino has passed Away

Former President Corazon Aquino is now at the hospital in pain due to cancer of colon. Even in her weakest state of health, she once again has come and united the Filipino people in praying and supporting her. I find that a wonderful trait of Mrs. Aquino, that she can still muster a great number of people behind her, whether in politics or otherwise.

Though her presidency was wrought in ineffective political and economic leadership, her strength really showed in terms of her spiritual leadership. Only time will tell if this spiritual leadership will wake up the Filipinos about themselves and what Filipinos want for their future.

She has passed away on August 1st, 2009.

Remarkable turn around

A friend referred this breast cancer survivor to me because of severe pain in her right hand. I could see its swollen. The initial diagnosis was neuropathy but we know better. This is lymphangitic invasion. She was already operated, chemo and radio-therapied 2 years ago.

After a session of Access Healing, she felt better less pain, what was wonderful, was after the session, we had a talk about how it came back after being in remission. AShe admitted that this relapse happened after her sister passed away. She recognized the importance of her siblings being together.

After the talk, her pain surprisingly disappeared and the day after swelling was visibly lesser. Weird and wonderful

Anti-Radiation Pill

At last, an anti-radiation pill for everyone! I never thought this would be possible in my lifetime :) A pill that literally protects everyone from radiation exposures. :)

Hmmm.. Does this mean we can do several x-rays in 1 week without any ill effects?

Another one past away

My patient for more than 2 years finally met his Creator. She was a very brave and had a heart of gold. She fought and fought until she had nothing left to fight with.

After undergoing a chemo cycle, her body just gave way and she was never really was back to normal. Her oncologist nicknamed her "flower" coz she had severe adverse reactions even with the lowest dose of chemo.

I will really miss her.

One more reason for not... Colas!!!

I never thought that drinking colas can eventually lead to paralysis.

I remember when I was young, after playing basketball I was so thirsty and instead of drinking water, I chose cola (blame it on advertising). After gulping a bottle, I became more thirsty than before drinking the cola! I learned a lesson that day, water is the best!

Back from that much needed vacation

I just came back from a much deserved vacation, Blessing in disguise, I was able to hook up with a lady who was into herbs and crystals.

I was searching for graviola leaves instead of the fruit as a means to supplement patients with cancer. Prayers answered, the leaves were even picked from trees high up in the mountains.

Distant Healing Intention = Prayers

This study done by Dean Radin et al., showed that by focusing attention or intention on another person, on this study, a loved one, measureable changes on the human physiology can actually happen.

Its what we call "spooky action at a distance"

What was funny for me was, the paper avoided to use "prayer." The contention was to remove any religious connotations. I guess they're really trying to separate religion from science.

Kid ordered for Chemo

I dont know how I feel for the kid and the family, it must be hard on them. Whatever happened to patient's rights. Maybe they thought the kid was uninformed or misinformed.

I say, we underestimate our youths today, they're sharper, more intelligent than we ever accept or realize.

What will happen if the patient dies from complications to the chemo, who will take the blame... the judge?

Deja Vu

I am really distubed at whats happening to Louie, a breast cancer patient. Recently, I found out that she has disseminated pulmonary metastasis, and its causing her dyspnea.
This is exactly what happened to my patient before, she was so out of breath 24hrs a day, on 5L of O2. It wasnt a nice thing to see.

And now, it seems that, if things will not get better she will likewise become like this. Have to act fast, no more mistakes and missteps.

Hard times

I've been procrastinating in writing recently, mainly because there is nothing really good to write about, all I've been getting recently is bad news...

Lasers for Neuronal cell injuries

I came across this paper, i felt I had to share it with you all. The study used a 670nM Laser, which is available as a laser pointer.

Passing Away

Two of my patients past away successively in 2 days. It was a sad week for me!

Vitamin C for cancer

This is one more reason for Vitamin C in cancer therapy. The dose given however was at 1000mg/kg/day. The authors suggested that intravenous vitamin C was therefore the best route if ascorbic acid was to be used as an anti-cancer agent

Healthy Obese?

First time a study that shows healthy obese people have a higher level of white blood cells, compared to "unhealthy" obese.
Hmmm.... maybe its elevated because of stress, and "unhealthy" obese have decompensated stress response hence lower WBC.

Bicarbonate Increases Tumor pH and Inhibits Spontaneous Metastases

This study seems to agree with the notion that alkaline diet does have a benefit especially among patients with cancer.

I hope oncologists will take note of this study, its of great benefit to cancer survivors

Multivitamin Use and Longetivity

This is the first study showing that Vitamins specifically C and E can have a beneficial impact on our DNAs. Telomeres are parts of the DNA that shortens every time it divides. When it reaches the end of it, cell dont divide anymore, hence prone to aging and death. Its also called the Hayflick's limit.

So I guess those who takes vitamins who have a longer life span:)

Reiki

Yesterday, I learned Reiki! The energy I felt was wonderful, my hands were and still at present still warm. This happened during the attunement.
I feel also a sense of calmness, like never before, as if I know something already and yet.. I dont know what I know thats making me feel like this.
Strange things are happening, funny sometimes, as if the energy is trying to lead me to another path.

Schizophrenia and food

As Hippocrates would say... Let food by thy medicine"

What a case report! Gluten-free food can resolve schizophrenia, this is bad news for the pharma industry if study can be replicated and really shows benefit

Homeopathic remedies for cancer

This is the first study I have encountered that truly dealt with a homeopathic remedy against the development of cancer, though the study group was composed of rats.

I wonder if people will start taking this one. I'm sure the homeopaths will not use this study but rather stick to their time-tested way of choosing a homeopathic remedy.

!!!Unbelievable!!!

There was this guy who was a carpenter before he got sick. He had multiple nodules on the right side of his lungs. It didn't look good, doctors wanted to do biopsy. They had no money for the said procedure. He was wasting away slowly, coughing incessantly.

He came to our charity clinic. Felt so bad for him and his family. The wife was the one supporting them when he got sick. She was so desperate.

Since they lived about 80kms from our clinic, the best thing I could do for him was to give him the ginseng powder...

After 3 months, he came back. I didn't recognize him, coz he was looking better and had more muscle in his face and body. He told me he's back to working though not at 100%. That's still better than only one breadwinner in the family.

Gave him 1 more ginseng powder, and happily he went back home. His face was... as the cliche said.. "PRICELESS!"

Beautiful Site

Yesterday, I was so amazed and at awe at the site I saw, while holding my patient with Colon cancer that has metastasized to the lungs and liver.

Aside from me, he had 4 children and his wife holding him. You could feel the intense love and hope of each of the kids for their father. It drove me to tears. :)

I think we at the clinic should do this more often for the patients when the opportunity arises.

Vit. C for High blood pressure

I think this is a fantastic study!!! It showed those with higher plasma levels of ascorbic acid were more likely to have lower BPs. The study was carried out for 10 years and it clearly demonstrated vitamin c can make a difference in the long run.

Quantum Touch

I came late for the class :) We did some breathing exercises then some hands-on healing. Quite great to see more and more people are aware and willing to learn different healing modalities.

Today more things to learn!

Otto Warburg's right!!!

It seems like Otto Warburg's theory about cancer cells is really being proven to be true! Cancer cells seems to metastasize more quickly with the absence of oxygen was what was shown in the research by Dr. Giaccia of Stanforf Medical Center.

With deprivation of oxygen, cancer cells express lysyl osidase (LOX). LOX then breaks apart collagen and becomes an entry point for cancer cells to spread deeper into other parts of the body.

Cancer cells gulping white blood cells

The January Issue of the Scientific American out came out with an article on cancer cells fusing with white blood cells that ultimately lead to cancer metastasis/ Dr. Pawelek has demonstrated how the cancer cells fuse with the macrophages, making them more aggressive and highly metastatic.

Hmm...
