Yesterday this post was made by one of the members at the Yahoo oleandersoup group:

It is some time since I last posted, but this is just to say that I am still around and can report progress to the group. I started with Budwig and OPC shortly after I was diagnosed with PCA in July 2008 with a PSA of 11.8. The change in diet stopped immediately the PSA increase which had a doubling time of 2.5 years. After a year things were going well and PSA had dropped to 6.7 without any conventional allopathic treament. I then had a busy time travelling and loosened up my protocol to see how loose I could get. My next PSA in February showed a PSA of 9.7. This showed me that I just cannot let up. Now I have managed to reduce the PSA to 7.6 over 6 weeks.

I think this post provides a vitally important message to anyone fighting cancer (and other diseases too) with natural and alternative protocols:  To have the best chances of success you have to be consistent and not take half measures, no matter what protocol you have chosen.  We find that the protocol the Yahoo group is centered around appears to be successful for the large majority of people.  When it isn't, we have found a common thread most of the time:  people have either tried a too limited protocol, have not followed the protocol consistently and/or have not taken enough of the important items they needed. Besides people starting and stopping on and off again, or skipping important items like diet, one example stands out:

One person complained that they had not gotten the upper hand on their cancer despite following the protocol (partially) for months.  When I asked them how much of the homemade oleander extract they were taking (because cancer can be very dose dependent and I thought perhaps they should try upping their dose a bit), they replied "ONE TEASPOON A DAY".  The therapeutic dose is one tablespoon three times a day. Good grief!

Folks, it isn't a partial or an on-again off again proposition when it comes to cancer and when your very life is at stake!  I can promise you that cancer is not likely to take a time out or slack off, and neither should you.  When it comes to cancer and other life threatening conditions, in my very strong opinion and recommendation it should be "all in".  After all, you know what you have to lose.

All the best,
