Beautiful sunny Wenesday

Hello, since I got my last infusion 3 weeks ago I've been feeling very good. Everything went fine, so far the easiest infusion of all, I didn't have any anoing side effect so this let me stay active since that day.
I got 2 tests last Friday, a CT scan and a ECO for my heart, I don't have the results yet but I suppose tomorow before I get another infusion my doctor would let me know how was it.
The dosis of the infusion is still the same as when I started 6 months ago, this was my ninth infusion.
Regarding my nutrition, I am still eating everything organic and I continue doing also alternative medicine combined with suplements of vitamins, all this leaded by my omeopath or holistic doctor here in California in combination with my oncologist from City of Hope.
Something I recomend to whoever is going trough any serious illness is to bealive in alternative medicine and it can be combined with the traditional medicine o treat it only with alternative medicine.
Unfortunally the alternative medicine is not promoted as it should be because the traditional medicine is controled by the farmaceutical comapnies that have so much power y the traditional medicien ignores the big progress of the alternative medicine when what would be the best is that both integrate together, combining both woulfd be the best for everyone,
and this only depends of us to don't support only the traditinal medicine and we should start to inform ourselfs and pass the information to other of what is going on with the alternative and warn others of the big risks of a lot of drugs of traditional medicine. A lot of drugs that are sold to the public at any farmacy have a lot of side effects, for example the famous Ibuprofen, one of its side effects damage the liver, I know a lot of people that take it normally to stop pains and they get addicted to it. The alternative offers suplements for back pain for example, the most tipical pain in most of the people today
and without any side effects.
My brother and another friend were told form the doctors that they have to get surchary for the herni disc and they said that was the only solution they had for their problem, they both saw the same doctor for ther alternative medicine and with only one shot of vitamins it took away the pain and in a couple of days and they didin't have to get surchary and it has been a lot of years since then, I was witness of my brother recovery becasue I took him to this doctor and saw how he got better.
So we have to be very carefull with traditional medicine. With all this I don't mean I am totally against traditional medicine but what it is not right is that how much ignores what it is going on with alternative medicine.
Maybe some don't know about the big danger of the famous Flu Shot that is gien today to most of the americans and specially kids, it has mercury and some lead, it is poison for our bodies, it is terrible that the docotrs know about it and they recommend it to all of their patiens, what a crime ! When tere are natural supplements with vitamins for kids and for older ones to streghten the inmune system against coulds and flu. And the same way for some ther vaccines that kids get them in their first 4 years that have lead or aluminum. So parents find out good before you let the doctor inyect those vaccines to your kids.

You could be thinking now if I am saying all this why I am treating my cancer with tradicional medicine ? Well, it wasn't an easy decision to take, it was hard to decide what to do, I had the pressior of my family on one side, in the beginiing I just wanted to go only with alternative medicine, I knew cases of people who cures their cancers with the alternative but I ended taking the decision of treat it with both medicines, something that today I think it was a logical decicion, specially for how advanced was my cancer, stage 4 (metastasis). So for own decicion I am treating it with an integrated medicine, a combination of both medicines, thanks to the agreement of my oncologist at City of Hope, he says there is no problem of
doing both ways at the same time and since there has been a very good progress with the whole treatment, my oncogist doesn't want me to stop doing alternative treatment together with his treatment.

I started with the alternative in the begining before I came to California, my idea was before starting with the treatment here in California, to ask the doctors for a 4 or 6 months trial to see if the cancer started to get reduced with the alternative medicine, but I had pressure from my family, the wanted me to start with the chimoteraphy the sooner possible, so I didn't have the oportunity to know what could have happened treating me only with the alternative. Today I regreat for not beeing stronger back then and made the doctors let me have those 6 weeeks of trial with the alternative medicine and see what would've happened.
But now I have to keep looking forward and have faith that I took the correct decision with all this.

Hope you all have a beautiful Christmas and wish you all the best for the 2008.
