Question
Hello Imran,

I am 43 years old, female.  I had a malignant lump removed from my right breast Aug 2005, 1.8 cms.  Margins were not clear, 3 lymph nodes removed, all positive.  My surgeon wanted to perform a modified radical mastectomy, chemo and radiation.   I turned all that down.
As of Sept 2005, I have followed the Gerson therapy, for a period of 6 months - 13 glasses of fresh juice, mostly raw foods, with various supplements.  After 6 months, I added wheatgrass to my plan.   As of April 2006, I have started taking Protocel 23 (www.protocel.com).  

My blood reports have been excellent so far.  My CEA count has been in the normal range.  My liver enzymes have been in the normal range as well.  However, in the area where the lump was removed, I still have a small lump that is not changing in size.  I am a bit concerned about it, but would still like to built up my immune strength to deal with this.  You have recommended the product "Transfer Factor Advanced Formula" for strengthening the immune system.   Do you think I am a good candidate for this product?   Is there anything else  you recommend for my case.

Second question - We would like another child.   However, since the tumour removed was strongly estrogen positive, weakly progesterone positive, I am concerned about being pregnant.   Is the influx of estrogen while pregnant an issue?   Pls advice.

Thank you very much for your help.

Bobbi

Answer
Dear Bobbi,

Thank you for your letter. It was nice speaking with you the other day.
Thank you for calling me.

Let us begin; I have some concerns with the gerson's therapy. Please email me below and let me know your exact protocol: second-sun@shaw.ca

If you are performing enemas, you must stop. Immediately.
They do more harm long term than good. One of the problems is the depletion of internal flora.

I recommend you get onto taking a product called 'primal defence ultra'. It is a probiotic + HSO formula. A very good product.

Juicing is a good idea, as is taking wheat grass. Chlorophyll is a blood strengthener.

If your CEA count is in normal ranges we know the protein production has been halted due to the balance in PH and general nutritive supply provided by the juicing.

Green juices are generally the most beneficial.

I have looked into protocel. This is an interesting supplement indeed. I have some concerns though, as i need to make sure you are taking something that will not bring any sort of depleting action long term.

Anti-oxidants are excellent to begin with. There are a few different families of these but all provide benefits.

If protocel has elements within it that lower voltage or ATP then i am concerned. Natural products supply building blocks to the body. Internal functions then absorb these nutritive elements and use them in order to restore balance to the body.

The immune system is the one in charge of recognizing sick cells, or abnormal functions in the body, not products themselves.

Therefore if this product actually lowers ATP in sick cells it should then also affect normal cells and lower their ATP to some degree. We need to know the long term consequences of this, especially to the heart. The mitochondria in the heart must not be affected in any manner.

The immune system has 2 main responses: the humoral response which creates antibodies to the specific viral/pathogenic condition recognized.

The second is CMI. Cell mediated immunity is a secondary response that recognizes sick and unbalanced cells and dissolves them.

Therefore, the immune system is key here. If we are able to focus on and awaken immune functions themselves by restoring immune health, then it makes sense that the immune system will perform all these actions inherent to its own programming implanted by mother nature.

To answer your question about transfer factor...my advice is that you ask your body what it needs. Focus on the image of the transfer factor bottle, silence the mind, and ask the body if it needs this product. This is one of the best ways to determine what the body needs at any specific time.

The product i know you can start on immediately is the fruta-vida product. This i recommend if there is an unresolved lump. The website below will provide all the nutritional details and so on. In my opinion it is a fantastic product.

Meditation:

As i had mentioned before, you can also use meditation or i should say concentration to be more precise, upon the lump, feeling it with your awareness, allowing the mind to focus single pointedly on it, keeping the attention there
with no thoughts or expectations. Just feel that area with your awareness. The vibrational resonance in that area is elevated as a result. This promotes healing and regeneration.

Another benefit of this practice, is that when the mind is still, motionless like a wall or very calm water, one is able to gain intuitive knowledge on the illness, what the cause of the illness is, what stage it is in, how to proceed upon it... etc.  The quiet still mind is a great key to allowing intuition and knowing to flourish.

Prayer is extremely important. We are divine. Our inner spark of consciousness is of a divine source.

We do not recognize this or feel the true peace happiness and strength inherent to who we are for we simply have forgotten ourselves.

We do not know who we are, and therefore do not know God. But we are of God. A piece of God here functioning in the physical world of passing dreams and illusions.

We need to know ourselves deeply, to observe and be aware of our inner happenings. To know the causes of who we are: our vices and virtues.

Prayer is talking to God. Openly with a receiving heart.
Prayer during the morning, day, evening, wherever we are, is essential in the healing process.
We must contact the light of our higher parts in order to help us be whole here in this world.

Faith, is a mystical force than transcends everything. So here we are in a different category. One can spark and generate faith through prayer and re-connecting oneself with the divine.

If humans had the ability to be quiet internally, to be still and listen, they would find that the whispers of the divine emanate in waves unfolding and absorbed by the heart. This is all beyond the weakness of the intellect.

If people could create silence and had true faith as an outcome, those like myself would become obsolete and would never be needed for faith itself creates miracles.

It is a fact that all sickness and all problems no matter what, can be healed and overcome, turned around by faith itself. Nothing more is needed. It is the most potent and powerful mystical force that exists in this universe.

And we little humans here, have the ability to generate it. Contemplate on this.

I hope this is helpful. Please pray daily, and practice keeping the mind silent. Meaning when you practice your meditation in the morning, that inner state of quietness is to be prolonged and continued into daily activities. So that one does not forget oneself and become identified with the things of the physical world or intellect. This is important in helping the body feel peace and balance.

Diet:

Please follow these recommendations:

Cut out all soy products, except fermented soy. Miso, tempeh and soy-sauce are healthy. [fermented]

Soy contains goitrogens which depress thyroid function. It also contains phytic acid which hinders the bodies' ability to absorb proteins, calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc. In general it is an enzyme inhibitor.

Also, please make sure you avoid all artificial sweeteners:
splenda, sucralose, aspartame, nutra-sweet, equal, acesulfame potassium.

Splenda/sucralose have become very popular these days and are just as bad if not worse than aspartame. These sweeteners are very toxic and are found in store bought vitamins, protein powders, anything sugar-free, gum, chocolate, soda... etc. Please read labels carefully and cut out all artificial sweeteners. This is very important.

Soy and artificial sweeteners both weaken the immune system. And the immune system is one of the keys to healing any illness.

Cut out all margarine and hydrogenated fats. Cut out canola, rapeseed and soybean oils. These are very unhealthy. Replace with butter, ghee, unrefined coconut oil, sesame oil, and virgin olive oil.  

7 glasses of water per day is a good idea to help flush out toxins from the body. Warm or room temperature water, never cold. Never drink tap water. It must be filtered.
Avoid drinking distilled water. It leads to mineral depletion and hair loss.

This concludes our protocol.

Please email me at the address supplied and give me further details on the gerson's protocol. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I wish you much success with your health.
