Clinical evidence of glioblastoma mutliform treatment plans

A compilation of survivor stories for people with brain cancer and specifically GBM. Most of the survivors listed used natural and / or homeopathic treatments. There are also stories of people who only did traditional treatments: chemotherapy and radiation. Unfortunately, there are not too many survivors who have used chemotherapy and radiation for more than five years or so. I have now been away for three years!

Hilary rose

Who: Twenty-eight-year-old woman from England – One-year cancer survivor, current MRIs show no cancer cells at all. Hilary did the standard Temodar / Radiation routine, and is also taking homeopathic medicines from Dr. Ramakrishnan, a naturopathic physician who is world renowned for his success in treating brain tumors. Hilary also eats organic fruits and vegetables and saw an energetic healer in Brazil. She described the experience as “amazing” and that she met many people who had experienced “dramatic results”.

Treatments: Chemotherapy and Radiation, homeopathic medicines, diet and healing energy.

Tom rolland

Who: Tom is a 38 year old man who was diagnosed with GBM in 2002. He is an eight year old survivor. His doctor told him that he had 26 weeks to live if radiation was not given, and that if radiation was given, it could be as long as a year. Tom stopped radiation five days later as it made him feel terrible. He immediately had an anointing service with the elders of his church and began on this diet: flax oil with cottage cheese, shark cartilage capsules, borage oil and CoQ10, water, exercise, and sunlight. His wife rubbed incense on his head; Frankincense naturally contains ozone, which is more powerful than H2O2 in oxygenating cells. Tom also ate graviola, barley, carrots, beets, and eliminated most of the meats and sugar.

Treatments: Five days of radiation, diet, and other alternative treatments listed above.

Andy Watson

Who: Andy is a 49-year-old man living in Maine. He was diagnosed with GBM in 2005. He underwent surgery to remove the tumor that same year. You are taking homeopathic medicines from a doctor in India. His physician, Dr. Prasanta Banerji, claims that he has treated thousands of brain tumors over a period of 30 years with a 75% success rate.

While this may seem impossible and obviously a lie, please note that Dr. Banerji has no financial incentive to share this information with those of us in the United States. Most Americans are not going to spend the money to get there, they don’t even trust going to India to see what we consider to be a naturopathic doctor. In India, their “real doctors” use homeopathic medicines. Andy personally knows many who are having success with Dr. Banerji’s treatment. Andy also says that he was the most anti-homeopathic person out there, but that his personal results have changed his mind. He has been able to avoid a second surgery so far and is waiting to see more results.

Treatments: Surgery and homeopathic medicines.

Ryan weidman

Who: Ryan is a man in his 30s from Wisconsin. He was diagnosed with GBM in 1997. He underwent surgery, radiation for six weeks, chemotherapy, and an experimental drug called DFMO. His neuro-oncologist, Dr. Choucair (I’m not sure if he’s the same Dr. Choucair I saw recently in Salt Lake, but neuro-oncologists are likely few and far between) told him that he had a three percent chance of live five years. years. He immediately contracted a skull infection after finishing chemotherapy and radiation. Ryan’s last MRI was in 2002, which showed no growth. He is now thirteen years out.

Treatments: Radiation, Chemotherapy and DFMO.

Laura DeBarba

Who: Laura is a 44-year-old woman who was diagnosed with GBM in 2002. She underwent surgery, completed six weeks of radiation and Temodar (chemotherapy), and is now following a personalized supplement plan developed by Jeanne Wallace, a very Successful and renowned nutritionist who specializes in treating brain cancer. Laura also reads many spiritual books and maintains a positive attitude. Now he’s been away for five and a half years.

Treatment: Radiation and chemotherapy, personalized nutrition plan and spiritual dependency / positive attitude.

Tim Herron:

Who: Tim is a 15-year-old survivor in his fifties who took an extreme faith-based approach to managing his surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. He also maintained a metabolic diet (which includes detoxification and nutritional replacement). Tim acknowledges the futility of the obvious clash between medicine and natural healing. He sees the animosity felt on both sides towards each other and wishes they could work together instead of fighting each other.

Treatment: Chemotherapy, radiation, faith in God and a specific diet without sugar, meat and full of fruits and vegetables.

Candice Jackson

Who: Candice is a woman in her fifties living in Warren, MI. He was diagnosed with GBM in 2001. He underwent chemotherapy and radiation after surgery. Candice struggled with her insurance company and the government to pay her medical bills. After her employer was forced to fire her due to the bankruptcy of her business, he continued to pay her premiums through COBRA until she could no longer. He struggled to pay medical bills of more than $ 1,000 a month, before going bankrupt. It was saved by Medicare. I know Candice survived to at least six years as I found a letter from the state regarding her daycare, dated October 2007. I emailed her to see if she is still alive and well, but not shelter . I have not heard from her and her email address is no longer active.

Treatment: surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy.

Come

Who: Venoir is a seven-year breast cancer survivor who was treated by Dr. Gonzalez in New York. She followed her treatment plan, which consisted of a single nutritional approach. Venoir also recommends that anyone with brain cancer see Dr. Burzyinski and his family at his clinic in Houston, TX. Meet people who saw it and are now 10-year stage IV brain cancer survivors.

Treatment: Personalized nutrition under the guidance of a doctor.

Canadian research

In a study by the Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences, they reviewed 286 glioblastoma patients, both long-term survivors (three years or more) and newly diagnosed, and performed a series of tests. All of these patients live in Alberta, Canada, and the study ran from 1975 to 1991. In the study, they found that 1.8 percent of their newly diagnosed patients survived more than three years. All newly diagnosed patients underwent the standard procedure of radiation and chemotherapy. They also found that the cell type found in recurrent GBM versus the cell type found in new GBM has less mitosis and a lower rate of proliferation (the rate at which cells divide). The study showed that radiation was generally twice as effective in newly diagnosed patients as in patients aged three years or older. I read this report on April 12, 2010 and can be accessed at http://www.cjns.org/25augtoc/long.html.

conclusion

I bring this case study to make a simple point. Medical professionals ask me all the time to show them tests or clinical evidence of my alternative treatment plan. I ask you to do the same with traditional medical treatments. If someone showed me good statistics on the use of radiation and chemotherapy to treat glioblastomas, I would do radiation and chemotherapy. Unfortunately, I have yet to see these stats. The statistics that I have seen for people my age with GBM is that I have a 14% chance of living longer than five years. Since the standard treatment is Temodar and radiation, it could be concluded that these statistics are representative of people who received chemotherapy and radiation. For me personally, 14% is not enough. As silly as this may be, I’d rather go with Dr. Banerji’s outlandish claim of 75%. I know there is no evidence to support his claims, but I have evidence to support the detoxification process that was triggered by the homeopathic regimen that I used with Dr. Aldridge.
