RE the Vitamin C - I ignored the majority of their recommendations I felt went 
against my intuition, what my body was telling me and in some cases what 
alternative medicine found diametrically opposed to good health.  My own 
conclusions were that lifestyle  lived as usual is contradictory to the illness 
that was brought forth from the physical manifestation of the disease. When one 
gets sick........its time to listen closely too and hone that God given 
intuition called the inner physician. 

Visualization is and has been recently shown to be critical in dealing with 
Cancer or any other illness for that matter.  The individual owns the Cancer, 
to state the obvious, their bodies are replicating  renegade cells.    I  
realized how ignorant and afraid I was of Cancer.I knew  only that it was 
considered  to be fatal and often beyond ones personal control. With great 
certainty I say...not so.  One of the first books that gave me clarity and 
greater understanding of the extent of ones "personal" power was an extremely 
inspiring book by Bernie Segal, Love, Medicine and Miracles. 

If I was cantankerous and distrustful of and  in dealing with Doctors before I 
became sick, I became a doctors worse nightmare when I was done with the book. 
To the extent that the NIH booted me out of their study after 11 months of 
flying back and forth 2x a month.  For not being complacent, compliant and 
submissive to their guinea pig  protocol which I quickly realized was not 
entirely for my benefit as an individual.  I was also according to them 
"upsetting" other patients by inquiring as to what or whether they knew what 
kind of drugs they were taking.
9 out of 10 didn't.  They just sat there in a dazed state with their IV's as if 
they were already dead. That state of mind, imho is scarier than the 
diagnosis..it is in and of itself, an individual illness. 

The medical records I left with were rife with notes from the charge nurses 
suggesting I be given psychiatric help.  They claimed I was over anxious, too 
curious regarding treatment drugs and distrustful of caretakers and doctors. 
Never once during my years stint with them did they, whether written or oral 
give constructive advice/consultation about alternative nutritional 
supplementation or life style factors that would affect the outcome towards a 
more positive prognosis. If  I mentioned  Macrobiotic diet, Vitamin C,  plant 
/herbals I was utilizing they just gave an insignificant poo poo shrug of 
dismissal.

 Most, if not all Cancer treatment protocols in this country originate from the 
NIH (National Institutes of Health).  Same with AIDS, HIV and numerous 
diseases. 

Chemo causes havoc and chaos within the body and by its very nature, brutal and 
insulting.  It robs the body of critical nutrients and significantly weakens 
the immune system  to the extent that reoccurances are so common.  All I can 
say about the medical systems mentality is that Cancer is BIG business in this 
country. It is a very potent,  viable   contributor to the medical communities 
and drug companies economic longevity. Chemo is as widely distributed as 
Aspartame, Fluoride and mercury laden  vaccinations and as we know, ignorance 
is bliss so long as there is not public outcry and condemnation.

 The day will come when Chemo will  be a thing of the archaic past  and  energy 
  based medicine wisely combined with the healing of the mind and spirit will 
eventually become  the medicine of the future. Western science is so 
undeveloped and backward in certain areas that they are  just now making a 
connection that ancient cultures knew of for eons.  For the time being, doctors 
of Allopathic persuasion  will continue to  refuse to take a back seat to the 
driver.....which is essentially, the patient.

 She said (something I didn't know) that chemo will
constipate one so it would be difficult to reach bowel
tolerance. 

Glad your still kicking, lady.  And what a lovely lick
you have!
