This week on Wednesday, and scheduled to begin radiation and chemotherapy. As annoyed as I am that These are my only two options, there is nothing much I can do about it.
The AMA calls alternative medicine quackery, even when it has a terrific track record.
There is a clinic in Texas that has an absolutely terrific track record with not just cancer, but glioblastoma specifically. When I read the information and their success stories, I was ready to buy tickets to fly out immediately!
But no, once again the big arm of the government is where it should not be: the AMA refuses to let the clinic treat anybody who has not first had radiation and chemo ( the only two "approved" treatments for this kind of thing. In order to get treatments by a facility with an enormous track record in dealing with my specific type of tumor/cancer, I must first get the treatment that is approved by the government- whether it kills me or not. Radiation and chemotherapy have a very small success rate with glioblastoma cancers, yet I must endure them first... before I can get better treatment.Lorraine and I have spent an incredible amount of time in prayer, and have been led to that clinic for a reason!
We must however abide by AMA regulation and get radiation/chemo first even though it has a horrible track record. Please keep me in prayer as I endure "approved" treatment; I know people who have gone through radiation and chemo before, and nothing that I saw looked tolerable Now it is my turn, and I see no other choice before me.
Saturday afternoon, a few days ago, I had a seizure. That put me in the emergency room and now I am on drugs specifically designed to stop seizures. After just two days, though, I have a rash on my right arm. I know it is not sunburn. The only sun received has been 5 minutes between the car and hospital on Saturday, and I do not burn easily with my olive-colored Greek hide! Lorraine is on the telephone right now with Kaiser asking about the seizure medicine and the rash on my arm.

Hi Paul,
This chemo and radiation stuff is difficult!-My heart goes out to you. The AMA and the FDA to me are very corrupt. Alternative/naturopathic/complementary medicine/TCM/energy healing modalities threaten the drug companies and the FDA/government because they know they work! and Allopathic medicine would lose so much money if these other modalites were endorsed by the AMA/FDA. I believe you will make the best choices for YOU. The government/AMA are not in charge of your healing-You and God are! I checked out the Texas clinic website-very impressive!
the rash sounds like a possible allergic reaction to the anti-seizure medication. Anti-seizure meds like Dilantin, Tegretol, Valproic Acid/Depakote/Depakene can cause rashes. Good thing to call the doctor and tell them what you are experiencing. They may need to change to another anti-seizure medication. Healing is a journey for sure, and I am continuing to visualize you WHOLE, and WELL! love to you and Lorraine xoxo
