Rachel Brown63 said:Now, I realize this might make it look like I'm being dishonest, but I don't actually have her phone number on hand. Just call the Doctor; ask him how he operates. I know for a fact that when dealing with parents of children, he provides contact info for other parents so they can discuss the therapy and treatment protocols. He likely does the same for adults. I didn't come here to lie or play games in this thread; I came to tell people about one more avenue they might not be aware of—to those who are starting to lose heart and need to know there's still hope. I am certainly not here to peddle lies. I just don't understand.

I don't think anyone thinks you're lying, but let's be realistic: malignant tumors simply cannot be resolved without surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation.

That kind of thing just doesn't exist. People who claim to have healed themselves using strange, "magical" methods almost certainly weren't suffering from truly malignant or severe diseases.

When we were first confronted with a terminal diagnosis, our first instinct was to hunt for alternative methods. Like anyone else in the world, we were terrified of the side effects from chemo and radiation. However, we have never—not once—met a single person who suffered from a malignant disease and was cured through alternative medicine alone.

It might be best if anyone truly interested does their own research online, given how much information is out there, or perhaps just gives their Doctor a call. This particular approach to medicine is built on the idea that the root cause of any illness stems from within, and they focus on addressing those internal imbalances to resolve health issues. I actually met this woman briefly—maybe for five minutes—while my mother spent quite a bit more time talking her through things, though unfortunately, we didn't manage to get her phone number. She had initially started some radiation treatments before deciding to see this specialist; now she’s just finishing up a course of tablets through the end of the year, and that should be the end of it. I don't know the full details of her specific diagnosis or the exact nature of the tumor, but I do know they had estimated she only had about a year left at the Salisbury clinic. I really don't want to spread any misinformation, so please, look into it yourselves via this website http://www.magicus.info/hr/magicus/tekst.php?id=228. If you scroll down to the bottom, you'll find comments from people, including women who claim they successfully overcame leukemia through his methods. There is also contact information listed there if you'd like to reach out and ask questions directly.

In our specific case, we were stuck waiting two whole months for Medicare to sign off on things, which forced us to pay out of pocket for cytostatics just to make sure treatment could start immediately. But things have shifted—now, Medicare is processing approvals within one to two weeks. That shouldn't be an issue anymore.

That said, if you run into any trouble at all, please reach out to our association.


Thanks so much. I’m hoping we won't hit any snags, but if we do—I will definitely
reach out to the association.

Rachel Brown63 said:Honestly, anyone actually interested should just dig online because there is a massive amount of info out there, or better yet, just call a Doctor. The whole philosophy here is that everything stems from within—that the root cause is internal—and they tackle diseases by addressing that core issue. I only met this woman for about five minutes; my mom spent way more time talking to her, but unfortunately, we don't have her number. She started with some radiation therapy and then went to see this doctor, and now she has to finish up some pills through the end of the year and that’s that. I don't know the full story or what kind of tumor it was, all I know is they gave her about a year left at Salisbury. I don't want to spread misinformation, so please look it up online; on this site http://www.magicus.info/hr/magicus/tekst.php?id=228 you can find people's comments at the bottom, including women who cured leukemia with him. There's contact info down there if you want to reach out.

So, what’s your take? How did we end up with all these other "miracle workers"?😉
Look, that’s exactly the point: all these stories about "miraculous" breakthroughs are almost always told by the "miracle workers" themselves, or by people relying on hearsay and second-hand rumors. I am still waiting for the day an axe falls from the sky and someone actually stands in front of me, lays out their actual medical records, and says, "I did this treatment and that procedure with this specific specialist..." I haven't seen that happen once from anyone using alternative treatments from these so-called "miracle workers."

I’ve included a link where you can reach out to the woman who actually treated his leukemia; I would suggest calling the Doctor directly to ask about his methods and whether he might be willing to share some contact numbers. He isn't someone who has anything to hide. I don't have any specific medical records to provide since I haven't had to visit him myself—thank God for that—but I truly wanted to offer some help to those who need it. This is an interview conducted by his brother

I believe anyone who is genuinely interested will take the initiative to call and look into this, so I am simply providing the information

I don't think she's quite right there, but I feel like getting into that debate would just derail everything, and this particular thread isn't really the place for it...

Best regards,

Best regards,

God, I truly hope I'm wrong... but then again, why are cancer rates still so high? Do you really believe people haven't tried every other possible avenue first?

slyseal28, you know, I was actually having quite a deep conversation about this topic with my brother the other day.

Is it even plausible—after all the research and the massive amounts of funding poured into it—that we still aren't seeing any real progress?! Is it really possible that so many people are losing their lives every single day?

So, we decided to dive into the research ourselves. We read, we questioned, we investigated, and we listened.
The reality of it all just hit us pretty hard. And regardless of whether it makes perfect sense, it feels true to me.

Just look at our society. Look at the industries, the private individuals, and the organizations that essentially profit from the suffering and pain of people battling serious illnesses. Providing a universal cure would mean shutting down a huge number of other funds and research initiatives. The money wouldn't be spent anymore on private consultations, CT scans, MRIs, blood work, ultrasounds, immune boosters, or various other things—not even on Zuckerberg or Reglan... and let’s be honest, when you look at the statistics and the sheer number of people affected, that represents a massive amount of money.

Every once in a while, a headline pops up saying something like, "We are close to a solution..." or "Just a little bit longer..."
Those were the exact same kinds of claims being made about ten years ago.

We have tried almost everything. I say "almost" because, I suppose, there might be some method, some herb, some healer, or some melody that we haven't stumbled upon yet. But, it hasn't worked for us...
But hey, there will always be someone stepping in to say, "Oh, but you haven't tried seeing Mark or George..." I truly hope it works—I really do hope that others find the answer and finally defeat this disease.

Hi there

Has anyone else here dealt with constant, non-stop hiccups? My dad has been struggling with them for a few days now—it’s pretty relentless—and we’re honestly worried it might be something more serious. He’s currently battling bile duct cancer that has already spread to his liver and small intestine... so, yeah, we're definitely on edge about this.

Thanks

My mom fought such a long, grueling battle. She was a winner in her own way, and honestly, she was a massive one.

She passed away this morning.

I'll check back in later when I have more to say.

You and your mom have become absolute legends on this forum because you always found a way to take even the most brutal life situations and spin them with enough wit and heart to actually lift our spirits. Thank you for that.
If she had stayed around longer, honestly, it probably would have just been more of the same suffering. It’s a tough reality.
Wishing you nothing but peace right now...
🙂

She left us this morning...

My thanks to all of you; I truly hold a great deal of affection for this group... Please, continue to fight on our behalf, with courage and without holding anything back...

I shall provide a more comprehensive update at a later time...

Dear Melissa Kim45,

After wading through all those intense posts of yours, I finally stumbled upon this one, and honestly, it was a bit much to take in... My eyes actually started stinging. It’s such a shame things couldn't have unfolded differently, but then again, as you so pointedly put it: SHE IS A MASSIVE WINNER FOR HERSELF, and for every single one of you who stood by her side all these days...

Please accept my most sincere condolences... I truly believe that one day you will find each other again under much better circumstances, surrounded by an abundance of love and joy, far away from the heavy burdens that this illness has forced upon you...

Stay brave, stay resilient, and remain as strong as you have been until now... Your struggle has always been our struggle too...
Hang in there... sending kisses...
