I arose this morning nauseated and weak.  Perhaps much like my mate, I ate too much food.  He and I OD’d on this great food and similar to goldfish……..we just didn’t know when to stop eating!! :-)  I also believe that with all this delicious fresh squeezed juice, I didn’t drink enough water.  I corrected that as the day passed.

Another doctor who I later found out would be my medical treatment doctor arrived to share the treatment plan for the day.  He reviewed with me a nice color-coded chart of the weekly schedule.  Today I had Ozone Therapy, UV Radiation Therapy, Mega Vit C, Laetrile and Perftec.  The Ozone/UV therapy was the most intriguing.  First they withdrew about a quart of blood from my body, exposed it to ozone (concentrated oxygen), and then ran the blood through a UV channel on its way back into my body.  That’s the short of it.  Pretty neat!  So what does this do?  This procedure improves circulation and oxygen delivery on the capillary level, inhibiting the production of new blood vessels inside tumors, which results in tumor growth decrease.  Additionally, it helps the body produce antioxidant enzymes in normal tissue protecting against oxidative stress generated by tumors.

Dr. Contreras gave a talk on the various treatment protocols here at Oasis of Hope Hospital.  I found the doctor to be extremely down-to-earth and personable.  He answered questions very clearly and in terms that we all could understand — no technical jargon.  He was up to date on pretty much every patients case and was able to answer questions specifically about our individual treatment programs. 

For me, he shared that while the sarcoidosis would not interfere with the treatment, he was unsure how exactly it would respond to treatment.  He had not seen enough cases to make any determinations.  He did state that after looking at the petscans, it appears as though the sarcoid in the chest cavity had been there for a long time.  He said it had already begun to calcify, something, he said, takes a long time to do (years).

Dr. Contreras also recommended that I take tamoxafin or some other hormone blocker to keep the estrogen production at bay.  For general health –which was directed at everyone listening — he recommended no less that 4 hours per week of strenuous exercise (where you sweat) and a healthy, nutritious diet inclusive of “Synerpax.” (nutriceuticals).

On another interesting note, Dr. Contreras spoke of the need to utilize every available means of treatment in order to treat the whole patient.  There were patients who had come to the hospital to avoid toxic chemotherapy and were dismayed by the recommendation of Oasis doctors to administer such drugs.  Dr. Contreras spoke about the need to treat the whole patient and that it is sometimes medically  necessary to level the playing field.  If an aggressive type of cancer has spread to parts of the body like the liver or lungs (prognosis for life greatly reduced), then administering certain chemotherapy drugs that will bring the tumor under control would be necessary.  However, simultaneous to the drug, Oasis doctors would strengthen the patient’s body with ozone, uv, vit C, etc. so that his/her body could tolerate the harsh drug.  Additionally, they might localize the chemo drug as opposed to exposing the entire body to the chemical.  For us as patients, this sound rationalization and holistic approach to healing plays an invaluable role in uplifting our mind, body and spirit while addressing our quality of life concerns.

So as you can see, it was a full day.  Stay tuned……………..
