Dr. Wade also gave me information on a book about changing the way you view cancer, by Dr. Charles Majors.
The following review is written by Steven Sisk: This book does an excellent job of filling the massive void that exists in the area of effective cancer prevention and treatment. In today's healthcare paradigm virtually zero attention is paid to preventing cancer, and the treatment options typically offered to patients who have already been diagnosed are more likely to exacerbate the problem than to address it.
Tragically, most cancer patients are subjected to carcinogenic, often deadly chemotherapy and radiation without every being taught about the environmental factors which play a pivotal role in the development of the vast majority of cancer cases. The for-profit cancer treatment industry has manipulated statistics to obfuscate the monumental failure that is conventional cancer intervention, with the result that many uninformed patients believe that poisoning themselves is the only hope of surviving their condition. Meanwhile, conventional medicine has ignored (or openly attacked) the astounding efficacy of "alternative" cancer therapies and lifestyle modification, apparently valuing continued profitability over the quality of quantity of patients' lives.
In this book, Dr. Charles Majors relates his harrowing journey from a successful doctor in the prime of his life who has just been diagnosed with a terminal blood cancer to an apparent miracle case of complete remission and return to heath, all of which was accomplished without chemotherapy or radiation. Dr. Majors is not a "cancer survivor"; his biggest act of survival was extricating himself from a failing medical system in order to search out and address the causes of his illness. His book is required reading for anyone interested in reversing a cancer diagnosis or in preventing one from occurring in the first place.
I am amazed, shocked, angry, mad. And then I am so grateful to Dr. Wade and his staff. I am not trying to be a crusader for all things holistic. Believe me - I want the cancer out of me as quickly as possible. But at what cost? Yes, they are just breasts. But they are mine. So, if I have a lumpectomy, according to the surgeon, Dr. S, after the surgery I will probably have a small dent in my breast. If I have a mastectomy, well, you know what happens then. They are mine.
This is my choice, and I want to make the best informed choice.
By the way, my husband has stopped calling me a Witch Doctor. After meeting with Dr. Wade and his nutritionist, he sees the whole food supplements are probably a pretty good idea.
I found a little more information about drugs:
Did you know that medical doctors use and recommend drugs that are approved in a process that costs hundreds of millions of dollars. Because of this high cost, the drug companies will only make drugs that can be patented. That way they can sell them for huge mark-ups and have no competition. Unfortunately, because these drugs have been altered from nature, which they must be to be patented, they become toxic in your body, with harmful side effects. Your body can handle natural foods and herbs, the altered ones have toxic side-effects because your body can’t handle them. This is the reason why the biggest cause of deaths in the US is from medical drugs.
Because of the cost of getting approval for drugs, no company would ever take an unpatentable natural product through the drug approval process. Consequently natural supplements aren't tested in multi-million dollars trials so can't be approved by the FDA to be used for cancer or whatever other health condition they may help. (Not that the FDA would approve a natural supplement that threatened the drug companies they are in bed with.) As they are not approved, doctors, or at least most doctors, won't use them, and most don't even know about them.
Alternative doctors not blinded by the medical/drug industry, find that a comprehensive approach to fighting cancer using powerful supplements along with chemotherapy, works much better than only using drugs and other treatments that harm the body.
For those who are still on the fence, take a look at your parents. For the most part, they have come up following doctor's orders. Take this pill for constipation, and this one for relief. Take this pill for high cholesterol, and this one for low blood pressure. To me, it seems like their badge of honor when the parents can produce a list of prescribed drug treatments from their purse or pocket.
I was diagnosed with high cholesterol. I was prescribed Simvastatin. Simvastatin is used together with diet, weight-loss, and exercise to reduce the amount of fatty substances such as low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol ('bad cholesterol') and triglycerides in the blood and to increase the amount of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ('good cholesterol') in the blood.
So, it's a "statin". Statins could most likely cause liver damage. It also destroys enzymes in the body used to fight mutant cells. ALL mutant cells. So what drug will the doctor then prescribe to fight these two new maladies? Funny thing - I would then be on three medications, and I would be able to start MY personal badge of honor.
So after about 2 years, I took myself off Simvastatin. I am now taking Cyruta. a whole food supplement. Cyruta supports healthy cholesterol that is already within a normal range. Cyruta helps: 1) Support circulatory cholesterol transport; 2) Supports healthy cellular glucose handling; 3) Supports healthy peripheral circulation; 4) Contains several independent factors that help to maintain the integrity of capillary walls.
On Monday, we see the Radiologist. That should be an interesting conversation.
