> Dear Kent;

>

> Aloha from Hawaii. I had the diagnosis of Leiomyosarcoma (uterine) 7 years

> ago. After removal of the primary tumor, I was advised by the

> surgeon/oncologist to undergo a series of Chemotherapy (Cis-platin plus

> another). I am a Registered Nurse with an advanced degree in family therapy.

> I went to the medical library and did research and read that "with or

> without chemotherapy, the prognosis is dismal". I refused chemo, at which

> point the oncologist recommended radiation, which I also refused, based on

> what I had read.

>

> I began a search and practice of non toxic alternative protocols. I went to

> see Dr. Gonzalez (Kelley method) in NYC, the Livingston Clinic in San Diego,

> and the Optimum Institute in San Diego. I combined a lot of what was

> recommended. Initially, I was taking close to 250 pills/capsules a day. You

> name it, I've probably read about it or tried it or using it. Supplements,

> organic vegetarian diet, Benefin shark cartilage, Essiac tea, etc. etc.

>

> Well, 7 year later, I am cancer free much to the surprise of the oncologist.

> So, stick with non-traditional and non-toxic remedies. It worked for me.
