Hi Everyone,
This is Ankhner Khikessa Mothudi, reporting to you live from Tijuana, MX!
Our first goal after arriving was to finish our conversation with the doctors concerning what went wrong the last time we were here and what to do about it. Knowing that Thurs. morning all of the doctors have a meeting and review each patient’s records and modify their treatment plan if necessary, I prepared a letter to inform them of what we felt the problem was and what we felt should be done to correct it. The night before I prayed and meditated to focus my energy on Aqa Aakhu’s treatment and what needed to be changed to make it work even better. Let’s be really honest here. The passing out on the plane was scary and dangerous, but doesn’t compare to the dangers of chemotherapy as commonly given in the US. Often times, aggressive chemotherapy leads to a faster death that doing nothing. Once cancer metastasizes, conventional US medicine often doesn’t have any good answer, only timetables for your demise.
So Thursday morning comes and I’m writing the letter. I’m starting and stopping as I work my mind around the last 2 months, what Aqa Aakhu and I have discussed, the doctors at NYU, knowledge of the Oasis of Hope program. As often happens when meditation and prayer are involved, the ancestors/deities place a thought into your head. If you follow the thought, it leads you to wonderful places. The thought was simple. Look at the color-coded treatment plan they gave her the night before. Having prayed and meditated, I was sensitized to not let that single thought pass unheeded. As soon as I looked at the Plan, a single word leaped off the page. Menadione. The vitamin supplement formerly known as K3.
Menadione is so powerful that it’s medical use with cancer spawned a new term for cell death, Autoschizis. If you’ve never heard of it, see the links below.

Once I saw Menadione on the page, I felt and feel confident that it is the main culprit in Aqa Aakhu’s red blood cells (RBCs) dying in great numbers. Further research that morning revealed more details about what can happen with menadione and it enhancing effect on Vit C and the production of H2O2, hydrogen peroxide, and the destruction of cancer cells. A simple Google/Wikipedia search,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menadione, yields the both a description of what happened and some potential answers why. Can you say hemolytic anemia due to G6PD deficiency? More simply, hemolytic anemia means something killed your red blood cells and now you don’t have enough oxygen in your blood stream to be fully functional. We don’t know if Aqa Aakhu has the G6PD issue, but right now it is more important that we matched menadione with a description of what happened. Why is much more elusive. Even a recessive sickle cell trait could be a causitive factor.
The second issue is the hydrogen peroxide generation due to high intravenous doses of Vit C. H2O2 is known to cause RBC death if the RBCs are low in catalase and glutathione. Combined with the Menadione enhancement, the hydrogen peroxide interaction may also be the cause of Aqa Aakhu’s hemolytic anemia. The letter was one paragraph long, but took about 3 hours to write all told.
Basically, the doctors said ditto. The menadione is completely removed from the Plan, the Vit C dosage has been lowered and Aqa Aakhu’s ozone treatment has been modified for good measure. Her blood test on arrival showed normal RBC levels and tomorrow morning she’ll have a follow up test to see if there has been any negative effects on the red blood cell count so far. One of the primary effects of hemolysis, red blood cell death, is very dark brown urine. So far, we haven’t seen any so we are hopeful that the changes are going well. Also, Aqa Aakhu’s nausea and energy depletion normally occurred on the third day in conjunction with the administration of the Vit C/menadione mix. Today is the 3rd day, Friday the 13th, and with no menadione her energy was still high today. Walked around the town and bought a sweater since it’s colder in Tijauna, Mexico that it is in New York City!! 70s and overcast folks, this is just a sad sorry display of June weather in Mexico.
