My current protocol (many have Pmed me for it)
Hi everyone!
First of all, I was hesitant to post my protocol (as a thread) as I don't want people to think that I think my choices are better than theirs... I am only posting this because I have rec'd numerous private requests and I thought it would be easier to answer here.
A little about me....I am 45, happily married, have two beautiful little girls...Annabelle who is 6 and Mia who will be turning 5. I am VERY busy and stressed, which I am trying to work on as I am sure this is not healthy one bit...LOL I have a full time photography business and inhome daycare! I have NO days off. I have 6 kiddoes I watch and transport during the week and shoot weddings and family session on the weekends....and, I edit all of these images during the tiny time that I have left....ugh. Sooo, I need to work on promoting my photo biz, (or win the lottery! LOL) so I can drop the daycare....and the stress.
I currently am doing VERY well! It has been one year since diagnosis and 8 months since surgery. I love the results of my surgery and recon...boobies better than the last ones and flat tummy! LOL...BUT, I hate the numbness under my arms and loss of sex drive which I feel is linked to my masectomy.
I always had HEAVY clotty menstrual cycles w/ huge highs and lows. I have been on Dr. Wong's herbal protocol for about 5 months now and he has completely balanced my hormones. My cycles are so light now, no cramping and my rosacea (which he says is hormone related) has completely cleared up. I am amazed to say the least and highly respect him. I don't mind the taste of the herbs at all and take twice a day. He also recommends a balanced organic diet with organic local free range lamb and goat products. I juice ocassionally and need to start coffee enemas....yikes. He also highly recommends Pau Darco which I order from an authentic source. This herb has a history of keeping cancer away. But, has to be the right variety.
I want to add, finally, that everyone around me has been horribly sick...literally everyone I know, except me! I really believe I am building my immunity!
The following is my current protocol~
Wong's herbal tamoxifen
Brownstein Iodine protocol
Pau Darco...30 oz daily.
Organic Wheatgrass powder (one glass daily), 1-2 packets of Liv On Lipo vit C, R-ALA 300 mg daily/Megafood Blood Builder (i tablet daily to build up my WBC count and low iron levels)/500mg metformin/World Image Naturals Grapeseed extraxt (1000mg)/RM 10 Ultra 3 caps daily/Life Extensions Super Biocurcumin 1200 mg/daily/Life extension Calcium D Glucorate 1 cap/Durham Queen's Delight 3 caps daily/Life extension CoQ10 1 cap daily/Life extension vit D w/ K 20,000 mg daily/ATP Cofactors 1 cap daily/jarrow selenium 4 caps daily/melatonin at night up to 15mg/Dr. mercola probiotics 2 caps daily. I also put tinctures of Pacific Yew (natural taxol), magnesium and Milk thistle Seed into my juices daily.
I think that's all for now....I am seriously looking into LDN
Hope this helps? If anyone has any questions, please fell free to contact me! I will try to answer as fast as I can. I am not on here much anymore as I rarely think too much or obsess too much about the cancer....I could get hit by a bus tomorrow and all of the worrying would be for naught and wasted time. I am enjoying my girls who have just started Irish Step dancing and we all love it!
xxxxoooo

Oh! Forgot to add my chiropractic care which has been a LIFESAVER! I am seeing a doctor who specializes in Torque release technique. This technique has literally changed my life. Dr. Gonzalez also recommends this form and send his patience to special chiros for it....correctly and gently adjusting your atlas helps our bodies to absorb much needed nutrients better...also helps to detox. I was having horrible back and neck spasms and was afraid I had bone mets, which I do not. He has completely relieved all of my pain.

Joellelee, thank you very much for posting your entire protocol. I appreciate it very much.
-
Thanks so much for posting this information. When I talked to Dr. Wong about the Iodine I was taking he said I don't have to take it anymore because it will be in my herbal tea. Do you call to reorder from the herbal pharmacy right before you run out? I'm new to this and still learning.
I have 2 girls also, ages 7 & 11 and I'm 46 years old. It's amazing how many relatively young women get breast cancer. Of course, I'm always trying to fiqure out how I got it! I have also given up dairy after being diagnosed, but my estrogen is high so I'm taking the herbal teas now.
-
Hi Pippa! That's interesting about the iodine! I asked him also about iodine and he referred me to Lynn Farrow, iodine expert. He didn't say it was in my tea! Okaayyy, another email to the good Doc to address this...haha
I email Dr. Wong when I am on my last week of tea and he calls in my order and the pharmacy has my card on file and they just charge it. I love the overnight delivery at not much cost!
-
Hi, did you you ask Dr. Wong about iodine? I have a thyroid goiter & fibrous breast so I want to try another kind of iodine.
thanks! -
I asked Dr. Wong about Tamoxifen and this is what his response was...
"I do NOT think highly of tamoxifen except to say that it is a powerful drug to TREAT ER positive breast cancer. As a preventive for many years, it creates many long-term side effects. I believe my herbal regimen can do similar things as tamoxifen. This is based on my extensive experience of practice for many years. However, a prospective scientific trial is lacking. When you follow my approachyou should keep this in mind."
-
Hi, I just received a batch of herbs that are dried and uncooked. Last time the herbs were cooked for me. Which way do you get them and how many cups do you drink a day? Thanks! -
I have always rec'd my herbs cooked...that's weird!
-
Jojo, I have some questions: where did you get your protocol? Did you go to a naturopath or did you put this together from research of your own? Did you go the chemo/radiation model and supplement, or did you do your protocol instead of? I'd really like to look into doing this.
I haven't been tested for hormone levels yet but I'm sure they're high--I'm 54 and only just thought I'd missed my first period but it was two weeks late, and right after the doc called and delivered bad news on the phone I went to the bathroom and discovered that I'd started and I ripped off one hellacious word! -
pippa: re: young women. I watch pbs on weekends & while watching 2nd opinion yesterday I thought young people are getting cancers because theirn immune systems arn't strong. when I was born there was 1 vaccine: smallpox. I had that one 3 times over the years, it never took (got no reaction) but my mother had a huge scar on her arm from the first cowpox variety & I'd guess that gave me immunity. when I was a toddler I got scarlet fever, measles, whooping cough, as a girl I got viral pneumonia, chickenpox, as a teenager another kind of measles & mumps. later again a viral pneumonia. polio vaccine was online as a teenager, I got 2 of them & left the office before the 3rd. (they were quite painfull). never got smallpox or polio or the residual polio people get from the disease or the vaccine. (I know 2 people who got the residual polio both from the disease, 1 died of it. )......but as I got immunity from disease not from killed viruses in the vaccines I think I got a very strong immune system & thus young people shouldn't try to go the natural way with cancer peobably if they've had the multiple vaccines recommended today -
Abigail, on the other hand you say your cancer started 50 years ago. You were very young then.
There is no evidence that the immune response to disease is "better" than response to vaccine, or that one over the other produces a stronger immune system. We did not have a lot of vaccines, and I still got cancer in my 40s. -
50 years ago it was a large cyst from the 1st & then other tiers of birth-control pills. Iwatched the cyst for most of those years. at one point the biker squished them both, caused my breasts to fall but the cysts were gone. for how long I don't know. then 2+ years ago the right one hardened & rose & started to redden in grape like bits. I'd noticed it hardening for some time, then In a photo saw it had risen. that was in september of 1010. It does seem to me that the live viruses in the natural diseases would give a stronger immune system than the killed viruses in vaccines, however vaccines also contain preservative toxins. I took those birth control pills for 10 years by the way. -
It may seem that way to you, but that doesn't mean it is so.
I am trying to understand here, are you saying you did not have cancer from the birth control pills, but that the cancer only started 2 years ago? I thought from some of your previous posts that your cancer started 50 years ago from the birth control pills. -
thought you'd be asleep, in greece? australia? I forget. yes it started with the cyst in '64 & evidently progressed gradually as I guess it's doing now. by the way re the second opinion show, I don't recall though I was very young I would have remembered they don't go up the nose now, way up for a swab to diagnose whooping cough. all tose diseases I had as a youth were diagnosed, by the family gp, but with stuff like fever & rash not invasively -
OK, thanks, so you have had cancer since 1964, in other words. You must have been in your 30s then, which is very young to get cancer, and you had few vaccinations, you say.
Greece is ahead, time-wise. 10AM in Greece is 3AM in NY. So, when I get up, most Americans are sleeping, and when I go to sleep at night, most Americans are still up. -
awake at 2 today, up at 3. I sleep, nap, sleep nap. 10 hr sleep usually at night. up a lot. I think it wasn't cancer until recently but of course I don't know. one of the cuban reugee dr. at planned parenthood advised dme to get it aspirated (the big done) in 1968. I said:"cyst" & walked out but with the script. why were they still & still & still now giving them out.........& I wonder if the toxins in the vaccines & the toxins themselves are accounting for the epidemic in especially bread cancer. no I didn't get the vaccines everyone else does now, but there are dprobably multiple causes for everything.........off to the studio (terra very firma) to get food & water the plants. where in greece are you? so beautiful, people & land & food -
hunting season here if I don't get back means they thought I was deer (?) -
I am not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV, hence, anything I have to say about the human immune system is based on nothing more than observation and historical data from a specific place and time. I lived in a country where vaccines were virtually unheard of. The child mortality rate was 50% up until age 5. Children routinely died from smallpox, polio, measles etc. as well as water borne bacteria. Those who survived must have had very strong immune systems! Adult life expectancy was somewhere in the early to mid 40's for men and less for women due to childbirth related deaths (all natural, no docs or hospitals). The food supply was organic as farming was done on a very small scale, no corporate farms,and no pesticides (who could have afforded them, even if available?) . No prepared or convenience foods. There was no industrial pollution, since there was no industry to speak of, not even that many cars. People walked, men rode bikes and daily living involved lots of physical activity since there were few modern conveniences. I draw no conclusions from this other than the fact that the good old days might not have been so good. They did have lovely pomegranates and grapes, and I dearly loved living there. -
friday gary was talking about how great pomegranets are for esp prostate. microbes when they get epidemic get stress ed & then die out. I noticed that with the gypsy moths & tent catarpillers here -
despite the lovely pomegranates, lack of immunization and "natural" lifestyle, my beloved second country had frighteningly short life expectancies and heartbreaking child mortality rates. I won't venture to guess what this means overall, but suffice to say that longevity and living disease free is far more complicated than eschewing vaccines and eating certain foods. -
and not just there & then. a friend died in france from infection after giving birth to her fifth child -
Abigail,
You're missing my point. I am not specifically talking about maternal/child mortality. Yes, maternal/child deaths can occur anywhere in the world. Nor am I speaking of a a specific instance. I was speaking to a scarily high child mortality rate and very short life span for women as a known statistic for an entire country. Moreover, the real object of my post was to illustrate that nutrition, environmental factors, natural immunity etc. do not confer good health alone. The issue is far more complex. I am sorry if I confused you. -
you didn't confuse me and I agree with you -
Then why bring up a single maternal death in France? I was looking at a country as a whole, interms of maternal death. As far as I know, France does not have a high maternal death rate. -
I'd been reading about barbara in gorden ball's book (on) east hill farm & thinking about her. (reading on an amazon preview). If I get the expensive book it will no double explain if she always used a midwife & natural childbirth & other details which she probably did. -
What does childbirth have to do with bc? Oh, that's right, you don't have bc, so are just rambling. -
just rambling. someone brought up the topic & I'd been reading about my friend -
Who is Barbara? What difference does it make if she used a midwife?
OK, looked up Barbara. She died in childbirth in a Hasidic community in France. Most likely she either didn't have access to medical care or refused standard medical care, since it would otherwise be difficult to die from infection in 1980. -
barbara rubin was a filmmaker, from the perspective of the beat generation. I've sent tor the book east hill farm which will no doubt give me more information. she left the farm quite early on for the hassidic community (& hot baths) in the nearby hot springs town. because of this nearness she found the farm for allen ginsberg, a poet-friend she wanted to marry. she was a naturalist & so I'm assuming she went natural when she was confined in childbirth. sometimes when things go wrong it's difficult to get conventional care when it's needed. all this just on my mind when exbronxgirl mentioned childbirth mortality. she was a very slight woman & I think that religion was not right for her. the fifth child killed her -
Whatever, abigail.
