Re: Leukemia Recovery
I am encouraged by this story for many reasons. My 8 month old son was diagnosed with AML in September of 2002, and since then I've been searching for effective alternative therapies for leukemia - which is not an easy task. I agree that not every therapy works for everyone in the same way, so I ask God for guidance and wisdom for what will help my son.
As for conventional therapy, we felt that in his case chemo was the only immediate option as the disease was spreading rapidly. We began to supplement his chemo with
Essiac tea before and after treatments. He had no real side effects except slight hair loss and loss of appetite, which we attribute to the Essiac. We were advised by the Oncologist not to give him any herbal supplements during treatment as they might interfere with the "free radical" action of the drugs. We did swich to Pau D'arco, and during the interval time my son developed a serious side effect known as Mucousitis. It was horrifying to see him suffer like that.
My husband wanted to give him
Colloidal Silver to fend off any viruses or bacteria, but they had him on so many
Antibiotics that I said no to that (we did do that later after he was off the
Antibiotics ) because I didn't know what the possible negative effects could be. We are trying to help him in an thoughtful way and not just throw everything we can find at him.
Well, he has had five chemo treatments now, and he was due for a sixth but we decided no more. He went into remission after the first cycle if chemo, and I think the doctor was afraid to tell us because she knew we'd want to stop then and there. But she managed to convince us that we had to go through through whole program for it to "work". Even so, enough is enough.
We are planning to use moderate to high dose vitamn A therapy (retinoic acid) to help force the immature white cells into maturity, along with Pau D'arco tea, and a proper healing diet.
Coming back to the story about how macrobiotics helped this man recover from AML - I had just decided two days ago that this was the main dietary focus I wanted to use, but today I become a disenchanted with it when I heard that Aveline Kushi died of cervical cancer. I know of many other diets that I can use, maybe in combination with macrobiotics (?). I think more fresh, raw foods & juices would be beneficial if incorporated.
I love this website. It is one of the best I have seen so far. It is so true, at least in my case, how toxic environment and negative emotion can cause disease in your body. I guess in my son's case it passed through me and into him while I was pregnant. But God has blessed him with a happy temperment - he's almost always smiling! The nurses & doctors can't believe how strong he is.
I feel that God will bless him with healing and life and I just need to listen and believe on his behalf. There is so much buying into death and sickness becase people believe what they're being told by negative poeple. I refuse to believe the worst and live in fear and I have discovered a principle called "THE LAW of LIFE" which is what I think people who experience these kinds of healings are tapping into.
If anyone has any real life healing stories like this one, I'd appreciate knowing.
With sincere hopes for complete healing,
Amber
