Next steps in the plan

I have several items on the to-do list in my detoxification and monitoring plan and they are:

  1. Colon Hydrotherapy - this afternoon will be my first one!
  2. New CBC Blood Test
  3. AMAS Blood Test (when I FINALLY receive the KIT!)
  4. Diagnostic Ultrasound (to more accurately measure the tumor size)
  5. PET Scan
  6. Chelation Therapy (found a place in Narberth but can't go till Sept 19th!)
  7. Change dental fillings to safer non-mercury amalgam
  8. Find a new family/general doctor (same place as Chelation Therapy hopefully!)
For the blood tests I will need a doctor prescription which ANNOYS me since I shouldn't need a doctor to "permit" me to get a blood test but that is the way it is in Pennsylvania. Very annoying level of unnecessary control.

I have been reading about the two University of Washington researchers (Narendra Singh and Henry Lai) who are doing the research on Artemisinin and its application in killing cancer cells. They made the connection between the action of Artemisinin against malaria and were able to apply the same action to cancer cells because normal cells are able to store anti-oxidants such as Vitamin C and E, but cancer cells cannot. So cancer cells are not protected from the oxidizing effects of Artemisinin, which seeks out iron in cells. Cancer cells also have a higher than normal concentration of iron because of the high amount of cell division and growth.

I have found a source for the Artemisinin at Wellcare Pharamaceuticals and it is called Artemix. All of this is experimental, not approved by the FDA, yadda yadda yadda. So nobody can say - take this to cure cancer. I am on my own here but I have researched the compound enough to know the safe dose and that is has practically no known adverse side effects so it is worth a try.

Just ordered two bottles of the Artemix. Here is the description on the web site for Artemisinin compounds:

Hepalin (Artemisinin) capsules have been tested for bioactivity and found to have an 100% effective rate against cells with high iron content which was verified. 100% of the extract is absorbed through G-I tracts, acting directly on cells with high iron content via enhanced effect with administered Iron (FeSO4).

Hepalin (Artemisinin) capsules have the highest content of Artemisinin on the market.

Through much research and discussion with our distinguished associates, we have determined that in order to obtain the highest active ingredients from the herbs, an extracting and purifying facility located next to our own herbal farm would yield the best results. With the strategic placing of our facilities, we are able to harvest the fresh herbs and transfer them to our extracting equipment immediately.


My regimen will involve taking Artemix at night since that is the time of highest cell activity.

MRI as a monitoring tool

Found this quote relative to the MRI and routine breast cancer screening:

"MRI isn't recommended for routine screening because it has a high rate of false-positive results, leading to unnecessary anxiety and biopsies. It's also expensive, not readily available and requires radiology experts who can interpret the images and findings appropriately."

This makes me question even more the apparent inaccuracies between the two MRI's I have received. Different equipment, different interpreters of the results and that yielded two completely different measurements of the tumor which then morphed into a panic stricken review that implied the tumor had practically doubled in size. This is nonsense and anyone with half a brain who actually LOOKS at the MRI pictures from July and August can see it has most definitely NOT doubled in size or even grown larger AT ALL.
