IMPORTANT, PLEASE NOTE:
THESE JOURNAL ENTRIES ARE NOT ENDORSED NOR HAVE THEY BEEN
AUTHORIZED BY THE INDIANA
CENTER FOR ADVANCED
MEDICINE.
THESE JOURNAL ENTRIES ARE PERSONAL AND FROM MY HEART,
HOPEFULLY TO REACH YOURS.
I AM NOT A PHYSICIAN.
I AM WRITING FROM A POSITION OF FRIEND & BROTHER.
PLEASE BE CLEAR OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED.
It's come to my attention over the past 3 months of networking
throughout various support groups etc, that there are very few people who have
ever heard of Photo Dynamic Therapy (PDT).
This has come as quite a shock to me, as I was unaware that
PDT was such a 'mystery' to so many.
Ok... so I decided I had to change the way I addressed these
groups, and I had to come to terms with going right back to basics about PDT
and what it is and how it works - plus I had to ensure that everyone understood
that PDT is NOT a NEW treatment; nor is it a 'new-age' treatment; nor is it in
'clinical trials'.
I feel a strong need to reiterate that PDT has been in use,
successfully, for around 30 years and was originally 'discovered' more than 100
years ago. So... why is this successful
cancer treatment not offered to the cancer patient in the first instance of
diagnosis?
This is a question I ask myself and it is a question that I
cannot answer, however I am investigating and I will try to ascertain it's
answer if I can. I can only assume that, because PDT is such a specialized
treatment, and only a handful of physicians in the world are fully versed in
its use for cancer treatment, that regular medical practitioners don't know too
much about it themselves - this is the only reason I can think of that may be
the reason that PDT is not offered the cancer patient in the first instance as
a viable option for them to consider.
Cancer patients are offered chemotherapy, invasive surgery,
radiation and toxic drugs. They are not offered any other option. Therefore,
the cancer patient feels that there IS NO OTHER CHOICE, when in fact THERE
IS... PDT.
The other reason PDT may not be offered as an option to the
cancer patient, is that it has not been Licensed to treat cancer patients UNTIL
NOW. The IndianaCenter for Advanced Medicine now has
the ONLY License in the USA
to treat cancer patients using PDT.
This is a MAJOR MEDICAL BREAK THROUGH.
This changes everything we've ever been taught to believe
about the condition of cancer and it makes the very word 'cancer' far less
frightening than it ever has been. It's not the 'scary C word' that people dare
not even mention. Cancer can now be seen as a medical condition that can be
treated without all the trauma, drama, fear, anxiety and pain that we are
accustomed to hearing about and that is connected with chemotherapy, radiation,
toxic drugs etc.
No more do we need to fear the dire side effects that we
fear almost as much as the condition itself. I have had many, many people share
stories with me, and often they tell me "he/she died… not from the
cancer... but from the chemo & radiation" ...
I can relate to this myself, as my own father passed away
from cancer many years ago, and I have always had the thought in my mind that
he died from the chemo and massive amounts of radiation & other toxic drugs
that were pumped into him in an effort to treat his cancer and save his life...
I'm sure the physicians were doing all they knew how to do at that time, but I
can't help but think... maybe if we had left him alone and not poisoned him
with all that physical trauma, he may very well still be alive today... but
hey, that's just my gut feelings talking and I can't be certain of anything.
What I AM and CAN be certain of, is this:
Photo Dynamic Therapy heals cancer - and it leaves the
patient with a stronger immune system, rather than 'blasting' them with toxins
that kill the immune system making it almost impossible for the patient's body
to fight the cancer naturally.
PDT is not covered by medical insurance. This is an
important point for many people, as it can be too costly for some...
The alternative being chemo, radiation etc are normally free
to the patients... but at what cost to the their health, mind, spirit and soul?
these treatments leave the patient feeling chronically fatigued, in terrible
pain, they lose their hair, their bodies are burned by the radiation... and
still there is NO GUARANTEE that they will be healed... in fact, there are no
guarantees in life at all.. we all know this fact.
But... why is it that I am continually asked for statistics
with regard to PDT treatment? And I wonder how many patients ask their doctor
for statistics regarding chemotherapy & radiation etc...??? If you have had
cancer and have had chemotherapy, did you ask your doctor to show you the
statistics for this treatment before you decided to proceed with it, or did you
simply just accept that it was the ONLY choice you had?
We have statistics for PDT ranging back about 25 years,
however, it's only over the past 10 years or so that PDT has really come of
age, and it is now at a level well beyond all expectations of its pioneers. Our
statistics will provide evidence of treatment and healing from various
specialized physicians from across the globe and for the past 10-15 years.
I will continue these journal entries as my time allows, and
I welcome your comments and views; in fact, I ask you to please leave a comment
on my page or email me with your own personal thoughts or queries.... please
get involved.
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER. HOWEVER, THIS KNOWLEDGE CAN ONLY BE
POWERFUL IF WE USE IT. WE CANNOT STAY IN THE MINDSET OF "YE HAVE HEARD IT
SAID OF OLD" - WE MUST COME INTO THE LIGHT AND WE MUST COME INTO THE NOW
AND WE MUST REALISE AND UNDERSTAND THAT WE MUST LIVE IN THE "I NOW SAY
UNTO YOU" ATTITUDE.
Until we begin the journey to leave the past behind and look
to our NOW and our FUTURE, we will always be 'fighting for a cure'...
Peace to you & your home. Many blessings.
I AM
... always your friend, always your brother,
