I am going to post the story of Jim Galm, my brother in law before my first
wife passed away.

Hi,

A former brother in law [My first wife passed away in 1973] was found to
have a chronic Leukemia in 1993 or 4. The doctor's watched the white count
and when it got to a high level administered three rounds of chemo.

After that [my knowledge of the exact course of events is a little sketchy]
he developed Lymphoma. There is speculation that the chemo for the Leukemia
eliminated enough of the immune system that the Lymphoma was able to get
started.]

Since that time Jim has been on all kinds of chemo. When we heard about it
we sent a tape and Jim has also used Flaxseed Oil faithfully.

My contact has been very limited, but I understand that several times in the
past years he was told to get his affairs in order. The doctors could not
understand how well Jim was holding up to the chemo treatmenst and how well
he was doing as the chemo did not appear to be successful. They knew he was
using Flaxseed Oil but dismissed that as of no consequence.

#Some studies are double blind. Some observations could be made but those
involved are just single blind when it does't fit the standard line.

A few months back he was told that they could do no more chemo as it would
kill him. They put him on some kind of cancer medicine in pill form. His
wife does not know what it is. He is now going down hill and the time left
does not appear to be long. Whether he is still being given some kind of
chemo or a pain control deal such as Morphine I have no idea.

If it were possible to go back to the time the Leukemia was first detected
and go with Flaxseed Oil from there I wonder what might have happened.
Unfortunately, we can only go around once and we can't do it both ways.

Chemo can be deadly stuff. The idea is, I understand, that the chemo will
hurt the cancer cells more than the rest of the body and the rest of the
body will hopefully recover.

# I have yet to meet anyone who actually believes that. If you know of
anyone who does, introduce me to them. I have an uncle who has some
waterfront property in Florida he would dearly love to sell.

Jim went into a coma and passed away March 1, 2000.

# The doctors knew of the Flaxseed Oil use, but these were one of the best
doctor groups in a major city and it couldn't help Jim.
