Facing Treatment Options

In the past month, since the end of my dad's first round of chemo and radition, we have spent a tremendous amount of time in research. We have researched alternative medicine, the integration approach, new science, current cancer researches, traditional medicine... you name it, we have read about it. Still, everyday we find out something new.

Of course, there is SO much information out there, it is hard for us to know what is real and what is trash...
and lets face it, there is ALOT of trash out there.

We have been fortunate enough to have such supportive friends and family. We have friends with experience with THIS disease, and we are constantly learning from them.

One of the first alternative treatments that my Dad tried is Chelation Therapy. I have to say, our experience with this treatment has been amazing. My parents have been traveling from Houston to Florida for this therapy. Now, I do understand that there is a Doctor in Houston that does this therapy... but our family's prior experience with Dr. Glen, in Florida sets us at ease.

In the past 3 weeks, since Dad began the chelation treatment, he has felt; Energized, healthy, strong, AND his appetite is BACK.
The fact that his appetite is back is a HUGE deal. One of the most emotionally exhausting experiences I have had is seeing my Dad drop from a BIG, Jolly 240lbs.... to a fragile looking 170.
Loosing weight that quickly has an astounding effect on muscle mass.
It was a painful thing, to be massaging his head and tracing his Ash-colored face, only to feel the depths of his facial orifice against his excessively pronounced cheekbone. I literally was witnessing my Dad waisting away.

Since the beginning of the Chelation therapy, my Dad is BACK.
Now, he is still only 175lbs But it is a healthy 175. He has regained some muscle tone, and his complexion is more vibrant.
More importanatly, he feels better than ever.

WE have decided to stick with this therapy. It includes a regimin of vitamins and minerals, both taken orally and intavenously.
It also incldes a change in diet and a reduction in exposure to heavy metal products.

Our NEW found habits:

to read every grocery label in the store
To buy organic
to explore new recipes
to Eat 80% raw food
and to JUICE JUICE JUICE.

These are our considerations for the near future:

-Dr. Bryzinski' Clinic in Houston
- The Block center in illinois
-Traditional medicine and surgery at M.D Anderson

We are on the hunt for the perfect fit
We will keep you posted


God Bless!
