    I am checking into taking this treatment for newly diagnosed Stage 3 breast cancer, positive lymph node involvement.

    I am checking into a clinic in Mesa, Arizona. 

    Has anyone out there tried this or knows of someone who did?

    Maggy ~ I had a friend who did that (I believe at the same place) for another type of advanced cancer and he didn't make it.  That's not to say those sorts of treatments aren't beneficial, but as holistic-minded as I am, I don't think I would rely solely on them with your diagnosis.  My friend, by the way, was diagnosed extremely late-stage and went there not only because he was holistic-minded, but because conventional doctors really didn't have anything to offer him.  But the treatments did nothing to help him.

    Have you thought about looking for an integrative oncologist?  They use a lot of those treatments, so obviously believe in them; but they also use conventional treatment when they think it will give you a better outcome.  If you're interested, here's information about integrative oncologists:

    I'm sorry that I can't be supportive of your choice (assuming it's the only treatment you plan to pursue), but with Stage 3, you may not have time to experiment with something that may not help you enough to keep your bc from advancing further.   JMHO,  Deanna
