Hard to believe it is almost October.
I have been sick with this tumor since the beginning of this year, and like most folks, I have never been ill for such a long time. Seems like every week I get a new sensation of something not working right, yet the bottom line is that my tumor is shrinking and I am extremely thankful for that!
A couple weeks ago, we had the first MRIs done since I was put on Brezinski's trial medicine. Out of three glioblastoma growths conspiring to kill me , two of them have noticeably shrunk by quite a margin.!! The third tumor unfortunately, is still sizable and may be growing but we will not know for another six weeks when we get the next set of pictures taken. This past few weeks have been all about oddball hospital visits. The Hickman catheter that was in my chest came out by me stepping on the cord. This landed me in the emergency room very quickly. Because there was no surgeon available immediately to replace that port, I was forced to settle for a tube sticking out of my right arm which needs constant maintenance and is completely unacceptable for the constant inflow of medicine my body requires.
This type of thing, I believe, is designed for people with much shorter term needs such as if you get the flu. In such a case, they would use it for a week or so but not permanently.
I also landed in emergency because of being short of breath and having rapid heart rate. They wanted to scan my chest for more blood clots. They did not find any, thank God.
Overall very thankfully, I am feeling fine– especially when compared with those folks who are enduring "conventional" cancer treatment which is comprised of chemotherapy and radiation... Which I refuse to do. I have already lived longer than the expectancy of those who submit to those barbaric treatments. It is a shame – much more than a shame that the government only allows those two treatments for FDA approval.
Clinical trials such as the one I am on have proven there other ways to treat cancer. Meanwhile in all these years, cancer has become so common that it is now considered to be a great moneymaker. It should be remembered that cancer is a killer! The FDA treats cancer is big business and caters to it as such. Meanwhile, thousands of people die. The truth is that the two "treatments" that the FDA has approved for cancer kill people too and yet, the government hides that. Radiation and chemo are horrible combination and the end result is worse than the disease they are designed to treat.
Of course I hope the Brezinski clinic's trial medicine works for me . Just as important as that however, is that the public be educated that there are more ways to treat cancer then your doctor would have you believe . All your doctor can provide for you legally, is the two very barbaric methods of treatment spoken of above . Without congressional approval they cannot recommend any treatment for cancer other than radiation or chemotherapy. How is that for fixed system?
If any other business fixed the results like that, they'll be forced to close and people would be in jail. But the FDA however is a federal agency so they are allowed to fix the results! Rather than continue along the same yarn here, turning this into a political discussion, let me just say that if you don't believe me do your own research. A five-minute search on the Internet will prove to you the statements I made above are correct and not exaggerated.
There are plenty of choices for cancer treatment besides what the FDA says works. Some of them are targeted for specific cancers such as breast cancer or in my case brain cancer. But don't be afraid to look around, test the waters and make sure the treatment is appropriate for your disease. I'll be around for a long time making entries in this blog – just enough to educate people as I have tried above and also to keep you informed on my fight with this dreaded disease. My beautiful wife Lorraine keeps me positive and driven. I am driven not only to succeed in the battle with the glioblastoma in my brain, but to make sure as many people as possible know that their doctor should not be the only one they trust if cancer joins your family as it did mine. Truth be known, the doctor is the last person to trust for treatment advice since the only allowed treatments offer just a 3 to 5% cure rate.
Would you invest your money for the stockbroker with that kind of track record? Would you use a real estate agent with that kind of track record to sell your house? I wouldn't- and never would. This blog will always be proof of that.

You are a good man! I appreciate
that you are using your time and energy to help others. I am convinced that doctors are mechanics and many of them are not very good mechanics. Doctors are mainly concerned with risk not you're well being. They are more concerned if they do not toe the line that litigation will ensue. Now don't get me started on Lawyers. We went to DC and Virginia to check our Niece's new baby girl... great trip. Hope to see you both soon. Glad to hear you are realizing some improvement for all of your efforts!!
God Bless
Paul, unfortunately you are 100% correct about doctors and allopathic "traditional" medicine and the FDA is very corrupt... (don't get me started!)
It is sad but true that most Americans are kept in the dark regarding other treatment options for devastating diseases like cancer. But we are starting to wise-up! I believe people are seeing the corruption and greed in our healthcare system and the government and finally are putting their foot down and demanding that other safer options be available to them. People have had enough for too long, my Mom sadly was one of those who didn't know about the other options. When she was sick, I tried to open her mind to herbal alternatives, but then out of respect for her (and this was so difficult to do!) I realized it was her journey and I went along with her wishes. That is probably one of the hardest things to do, is to respect the ill person's wishes regarding THEIR treatment for THEIR bodies. I am so very happy for you that you did all the hard work and research for yourself and found treatment that is working for you. I have confidence that the other tumor will respond in time-You really do sound like you are doing better and are staying positive despite all the difficult challenges you have had to face. I am as always praying and rooting for ya! xoxoxo
Love,
Chris
