Aqa Aakhu has been feeling tired the last couple of days.  She taking a lot of vitamins, nutraceuticals (powdered herbs), anti-inflammatory drugs, kemdalin, megadoses of Vit C with K3, ozone, UV light and organic food all day long.  There are just a lot of things happening in her system right now.  She just went back to sleep at 1:30pm local time. All this is very good for Aqa Aakhu. If you know her, she’s constantly movinabd rest is always prescribed for Aqa Aakhu in my book.  She’s still answering an occasional call from her clients too. Fortunately, the weekend only has nutraceuticals; hopefully this will give her system time to recover.
I’m encouraging her to walk whenever she’s feeling up to it to keep the lymphatic system moving, not to mention she’s getting breakfast, lunch and/or dinner in bed upon request. I may find out later she’s doing jumping jacks whenever I leave the room, but for now I’m the maitre di, waiter & busboy.

The Oasis of Hope held a question and answer period yesterday that was very insightful. While we are here in Tijuana, the therapy has a very strong component of super-oxidation. They noted in giving a detailed response to a question that in low doses oxidation supports cancer growth, but at high doses oxidation promotes cancer death. When we return to NY the at-home protocol is anti-oxidant based along with dietary changes. The head of research here said that for breast cancer patients, optimally there would be no meat of any kind (no fish or chicken) in their diet and packaged food is bad as a general rule. The no meat is related to the bodies response to its presence. Having a high concentration of protein introduced into the body causes the body to release a host of growth factors to make use of the protein available, which of course simultaneously benefits the cancer.

Based on the Oasis of Hope’s comments in regard to the high oxidation in Tijuana/ anti-oxidant at-home therapy protocol, I asked a question.  When we return home we have access to high dosage vit. C and ozone therapies, would it be beneficial for us to continue those protocols in some manner when we return?  (I had already made some preliminary arrangements for vit. C treatments.) Their response was 2-fold. First the head of research said probably not and not often if you do. It’s contradictory to the home program and most places that give high doses of vit. C don’t do so at a fast enough rate to achieve the superoxidation therapy level. Less important is the 50-100 gram dosage than the speed at which it is introduced.  Secondly, the Oasis of Hope has had great success with breast cancer. They consider it one of the easier cancers to treat.

An example was given of a woman treated here who had metastatic disease and was given days to live by conventional doctors in the US. She was flown to San Diego and driven to Oasis of Hope by ambulance. She could not walk or situp and came in by stretcher. When she left the initial treatment cycle she was able to situp in a wheelchair. When she returned from the home regimen, she was walking. The Oasis of Hope has great confidence in their history defeating breast cancer and advised us to follow the protocol.

Normally, I would’ve taken this as a sigh of great hubris. However, in previous sessions and discussions with other patients and their companions, there have been several instances where the Oasis of Hope has sent patients home with instructions for further conventional treatment prior to their return. In some cases the patients were advised to return home for chemotherapy treatments not because they couldn’t be done here, but because in the US the insurance will cover such treatments without cost to the patient.  In most cases I have found the Oasis of Hope to be confident, but also selfeffacing at times. Their consideration of how a client can tolerate the expense of the treatment, at times to the financial detriment to the hospital, is quite refreshing and gave me confidence that when they suggested following the at-home protocol without additions their answer was based on prior medical experience and not egomaniacal posturing.
