Once again, I am finding Indian teachers who point me to health. I’ve been doing homeopathy with Eagle and the tumor gets smaller and smaller. I use Dr. A.U. Ramakrishnan’s method of plussing. This involves adding a few drops of the homeopathic remedy into a bottle w/ @1/3rd cup water, then, drinking capfuls of it, putting it in my water glass, redosing my self throughout the day.

It’s the like curing like theory, anti-biotics, have a tiny dose of the infecting menace. In this case, it’s more the energetics of the remedy and presto! Cancer Free baby! I’ll go get another ultrasound in a month or so though feel this is the medical cure I’ve been seeking. Now I want to make a homeopathic remedy with my own diseased tissue and see what that does.

In my more recent fervor for a medical quest for a cure, Dr. Shimon Slavin in Israel was a gateway. He’s’ working with stem cells, taking diseased tissue/blood out of a breast cancer, introducing it to someone else’s non-cancerous cells, putting that back in the cancer body. I don’t feel confident having just anyone’s tissue, so intimate. The Issells clinic in Tijuana makes vaccines for your body with your stem cells, ranging from $30,000-$50,000, @ the lines of Dr. Burzynski price tag. When I sit down with the options, they feel like trumped up urine therapy. Yeah, pee, drink it, you’ll be cured of every ailment. So why do we need to spend $50,000 to essentially drink someone else’s pee that’s been sterilized and shoot it through IV’s ? Safety. Right. Money, the business of Cancer. Did I mention the difference in price? Free, kinda’ grosss, my own juju or $50,000, chance it will work, lots of hospital scenes and poking.

Hmmmm…. or, Homeopathy! I am taking the diseased tissue of someone’s liver, nosode as it’s referred to cure my diseased tissue. I was on another remedy that was from a cancerous breast and was feeling very black, depressed. Eagle put me on this liver nosode instead, and a version of pokeweed, alternating between the two. I’d always been intrigued by pokeweed. I’ve heard of it being used as a poultice to extract cancerous breast tumors. I’d like to go back to the other breast nosode remedy in a few months, see what layer of myself it can heal. Perhaps with the gangways cleared, it will go deeper and thus, set me free.

Yes, free, Cancer Free. I am thinking this way, beyond cure, my life with out cancer. I don’t want it, certainly don’t need it in my life anymore. I have learned your difficult and wise lessons and I am ready to move forward, Cancer Free.

In the interest of seeing if my recently metastasized breast cancer has spread to other parts of my body, I did a full body thermogram. A thermogram is an uninsured diagnostic technique in which an infrared camera is used to measure temperature variations on the surface of the body, producing images that reveal sites of abnormal tissue growth. It can cost $175 for just breast and $350 for a full body scan. It is non-invasive and non-radioactive which are major concerns to me in testing. Insurance covers a PET scan which looks at organs and tissues and injects radioactive sugar into the bloodstream. Rapidly growing cells such as cancer cells take up the sugar and can be seen on 3-dimensional imaging.

The process itself isn’t threatening with the benefits of immediate data though the report interpretation came from a company in Florida. Here’s some of the highlights from the report:

Below are pictures, red and white areas are areas of increased heat
and concern:

These findings make sense to me, feeling I have a stagnant, congested liver (all that clean living for nothing!) and have been concerned about my thyroid which on the pictures comes up hot though there is no explanation for. So, what do I do? I’m considering getting a liver and gallbladder ultrasound. Ultrasound is my first choice in testing because it is covered by insurance, is non-radioactive/invasive and I’ve created a solid baseline with this tool over the years to compare
my breast cancer with. I’m going to get spit and blood work for thyroid and hormone levels, tests that are not covered by insurance and pricey though I feel able to afford at this time. I’m glad to have this baseline for the thermogram though and am intrigued to compare it in a few months with a new one. Meanwhile, here’s the some treatments I’m doing:

Diatomaceous clay and triphala for digestion, cleansing

Sometimes I take Colosan if I’m feeling constipated or doing colemas as I have been doing once or twice a week. I feel lumps in my liver and though I don’t feel it’s cancer, I feel it’s stagnation and build up that needs to move. I’ve been experiencing some menopausal symptoms such as night sweats and hot flashes during the day which can also be from a hot liver and thyroid issues.

Infrared sauna, dry lymphatic brushing, hot baths in Epsom salt and herbs, oiling my body in the morning with coconut oil and pumpkin seed oil.

Supplements: Isocort, Iodoral, Vitamin D, a multi-vitamin, niacin, acidopholus, enzymes, vitamin C, Chlorella and Spirulina.

Iscador Mali by Weleda injections into the tumor area of my breast.

I continue to do a constitutional homeopathic remedy each day. One is a derivative of Pokeweed and the other is from cancer. Please see the previous blog for details.

Chinese Acupuncture and herbs.

Homemade tinctures of: Burdock root, cilantro, dandelion root, tulsi.

Essiac tea.

Walking, skiing, Qi Gong which frequently I do these movements as I’m
walking.

Food I’m eating:

Through Sproutman.com, I’ve discovered these hemp bags that make sprouting very easy. I’ve been putting red clover and broccoli sprouts into my green smoothie which I drink in the late morning and usually have the remaining in the afternoon. In the smoothies I use leafy greens, a peeled lemon and grapefruit, stevia, my green powder mix of spirulina, wheatgrass, red rose petal powder, turmeric, cinnamon and kelp, homemade kombucha, fresh ground flax seeds or
soaked chia seeds and hemp oil.

I’ve been making a lovely kitchari with soaked quinoa and sprouted mung beans and this month’s seasonal masala which includes:

An Anjali is a cupped handful, roast all the unpowdered spices until fragrant and combine with powders.
Base: Cumin ½ Anjali
Ginger ½ Anjali
Mid-Body: Black Mustard ¼ Anjali
Garlic or ¼ Anjali
Asafoetida 1/8 Anjali
Accent: Turmeric 1/8 Anjali
Paprika or 5-finger pinch
Chili

I’m eating apples, soaked almonds, broccoli with tempeh and onions and am trying to incorporate the spices and foods that Paul Pitchford from his book, Healing with Whole Foods recommends, see below for more details:

Outside my window, an eagle came in to her nest. This was a dream I had before an appointment with my neighbor who is a homeopath. Her last name is Eagle. Constitutional Homeopathy is a science and medicine that uses highly diluted, individualized medicines (remedies) that stimulate the body’s own immune system to initiate healing. Homeopathy commonly cures cases that are otherwise incurable.

I’m taking Phytolacca, a derivative of pokeweed. I’ve heard of this plant’s power in salves to extract tumors. There’s a simple, consistent process over a couple hours for dosing myself each day. There a antidotes, mintyweedyitems that I find difficult to go without. Say tea tree soaked toothpicks, I’m hooked though. Most therapies that deprives me of what I know to be part of me, good for me, I usually don’t do it or will adapt it to my comfort level. It can change over time and I’ m open to habits being hard to let go of. I’m also doing a remedy called Carc which I’m told is a micro-dose of cancer. This makes sense to me.

I’ve found this therapy to touch the cancer in a layer I’ve not been able to access before. The tumor continues to retreat, tissue healing from the trauma of cancer growth, once again. I continue much of the detox highlighted in previous blogs and continue to investigate cures for my cancer that I can get excited about and offer solutions to others with.

I Spoke with a woman who went to Israel to work with Dr. Shimon Slavin and works with stem cells. He says:

Combinatorial anti-cancer therapy (COMBAT) is a form of treatment designed to set the stage for anti-cancer immunotherapy. COMBAT consists of cycling metronomic treatment based on the use of well-tolerated combinations of low-dose anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory agents.
One of the aims of this treatment is to facilitate induction of an immune response against cancer, normally believed to be suppressed by the regulatory T cells of the immune system and by inhibitory factors such as prostaglandin E2.

In addition to the basic elements used in our metronomic treatment, other agents may be added to improve the overall control of metastatic cancer. Some agents may be designed to induce apoptosis [natural cell death] of cancer cells, which is typically inactivated in rapidly replicating cancer cells. Also, treatment may be supplemented with anti-angiogenic agents attempting to inhibit generation of new blood vessels that are mandatory to nourish newly growing metastatic lesions.

Thus COMBAT treatment is designed to achieve a triple purpose:

• To allow the immune system to respond against the tumor
• To try to facilitate the induction of cell death of rapidly growing cancer cells
• To inhibit rapid growth of metastases by restricting their blood supply

New Year, new outlook on life. In a relatively short period of time, I am recovering from 2011, my lack of desire to be here. Granting myself the grace a POW with PTSD deserves, I am refinding my joy, my sense of purpose. With more people being diagnosed every day, or so it feels, Breast Wishes has an important role in offering choices instead of and in conjunction with chemo, surgery and radiation. 2012 seems to be about offering a positive labyrinth of options to living our lives the way we have always known they need to be lived. A metaphor is when the fabric of our lives is ripping open, we need to
walk through the rip to the other side versus trying to sew it back up. We are entering a new age of consciousness, a time to walk our talk and be brave with how we really feel.

This past month has seen me working hard on my health, using Iscador Mali by Weleda as my “positive chemo” to kill this fast growing cancer in my breast. A recent MRI report confirmed the ultrasound documenting the cancer is spreading throughout the ducts of my right breast outside the tumor. Interestingly in the MRI though, the cancer was detected in a 12-2 o’clock range versus a 12-3 o’clock range just a month earlier in the ultrasound. The dr. reading the report also described it to look like a partially treated cancer that was slow on the uptake of MRI identifying agent, meaning slow growing. I know
this to be different, the cancer thriving quite quickly though also dying as fast. This has given me confidence to continue my methods of cancer control while also continuing to seek a longer lasting cure.

We’d like this blog to be more interactive with other people’s remedies for living with cancer in 2012 and are working on a platform to support this, all of us. Thank you for reading and please love yourself and everyone around you up. lovelex.

Coming up on three months since cleansing and fasting with Dr. Bernard Jensen’s Guide to Better Bowel Health, I remain @ 15 pounds lighter with consistent progress towards “cracking my cancer code”. Current obsession? Dr. Gabriel Cousens, live raw food. Just ate some of my own kim chee. Fortunately, the folks moving in haven’t yet so I stuck that stinky cabbage next door, whewww. It tastes delicious. Recipes are coming to the Breast Wishes Fund site so please consider gettin’ on our email list.

DISLCAIMER-THIS IS MY EXPERIENCE AND METHODS,  I’m not  prescribing, just sharing…

Today’s Day 3 of Dr. Bernard Jensen 7 day cleanse and fast.  It’s a mega series of “Cleansing Drinks”, and supplements, which I’m actually looking forward to because there’s honey involved. I’ve had major digestive issues for so long now, going back and forth between diarrhea and constipation plus the cancer has been active at the tumor site for a few months, longer than usual and it feels like time for something extreme.  I’ve invested in a colema board, a kind of home colonic unit that’s reasonable when you do the math on paying someone to give you a colonic.   I’ve never really done a fast except on Yom Kippur to repent for my sins, that’s always been my association with it.  Eating in general, everybody’s got their issues with it, did mine start after chemo or back when I was a “chunky“ young girl who loved to share a hot bagel fresh from the bakery’s oven with my Dad?

This October 6th marks a landmark day I have been dreaming of. Five years ago I was quoted statistics that if I had surgery, did chemo and radiation, I had a good chance of living another five years. Well here it is, and though I did do some chemo, a decision I question frequently, I did not do surgery or radiation and live with my breast cancer tumor every day.
