Thank you for the reply, I think. <G> I have no desire for doctors or
researchers to emulate the salesmen for the "elixirs" by piling dirt on
them. I merely asked for something that I could find on the net (actually I
don't think I asked it that narrowley, just where should I look) which would
give some solid evidence with a little more hope than "we think this works
part of the time. ) Actually I have a Grandson who is about 4-5 yers into
surviving with (or from) Ewing's Sarcoma. He underwent a lot of chemo, had a
section of the diseased bone removed, and so far appears to be doing well. I
don't have any idea what he was promised, but he is alive and well.

I have read the claims about Protocel in its various incarnations, and the
book by someone showing somethin like 17 endorsements of its effectiveness.
I also found somewhere that those are not really as well off as the book
claims, etc. So I am not at all convinced that taking the stuff does
anything more than keep my wife busy every 4 hours and probably leave a bad
taste in her mouth. But she is not. Nor is she willing at this point even to
talk with her oncologist again since she believes the propaganda.

I truly appreciate the link to quackwatch. It tells me what I have read
before. With just enough knowledge of electronics to be dangerous, I took a
dim view of the idea that this mixture would lower the "voltage" in cancer
cells.

I do no texpect any good thing to be devoid of unpleasant side effects. I
had an emergency appendectomy in 1944 and spent a month in the hospital. My
surgeon had experienced a similar ailment in the 30's and had maggots used
to clean up his intestines. Both of us lived. He is now 97 I think. I had
quintuple bypass surgery 4 years ago. I assume that had I not, I would be
reclining under ground. It was not without unpleasant side effects. That is
not what I asked for, however.

Dorothy's breast cancer showed as a lump on her mammogram. Needle biopsy was
inconclusive but the pathologist who is a friend of mine said it had to come
out. It came out. Clean margins, but the surgeon took 20 lymph nodes of
which 3 contained cancer cells. Bone scan negative, lung x-rays negative.
Liver functions, I think, and blood work, normal.

We are getting on toward 2 months from diagnosis. She is said to be Stage 2,
and the cancer moderately aggressive. She is 59. Oncologist says if she was
maybe 75 he would recommend a less agressive treatment regimen. But he
recommends chmo (4 treatments over 8 weeks of one mix, followed by 4
treatments over 8 weeks of another) and then 30 chemo treatments, 5 a wek
for six weeks. Followed by arimodex for 5 years.

Seems very reasonable to me to at least start this.

Well, I think the word "propaganda" has some ethical meanings as well, but I
was not really asking for propaganda, you know.

Thank you. Someone else suggested that, and I have taken a quick look. It
will take me a bit more time to see what all is there.
