Hi,
When I was 18 I was diagnosed with nonseminoma testicular cancer. It's the rare type of testicular cancer that kills you fast. After having my right testicle surgically removed, I was put on chemotherapy treatments. The reason being that the cancer had spread to my lymph nodes. Cisplatin was the main drug in the concoction. I can't remember the name of the other two.

I only went through one of the three chemotherapy cycles. Each cycle lasted 3 weeks.

I had decided that the drugs would kill me before the cancer was killed, so I took things into my own hands.
I am 5'8" and weighed 105 lbs(down from 135), and it only took the drugs 3 weeks to get me there. I couldn't walk, sleep, eat, stand, think.. and so on. I couldn't even dream when I slept.

I used Doctor Budwigs concoction. I used Beta 1-3, 1-6 D glucan. I took essiac. I alkalized my body by eating alkalizing foods.
I eliminated all simple sugar intake(soda, sweets, potatoes etc), all wheat(glutan), all acidic foods, and all hydrogenated oils.

Tons of vitamin C.

I also practiced deep breathing and exercise.

My doctors told me I would die.

I'm 22 and cancer free. I still practice most of what I listed above. It worked.

I think I got cancer because I was suicidal. My body was just helping my mind to achieve what I wanted.
The ordeal showed me that I want to live. Our willpower is ridiculous. It's most of what we are and what we have.

I'm no oncologist, or expert, but if anyone wants more information on what my methods for survival were, please inquire.

Now I find myself in a new tribulation. Eventhough I had insurace, I owe a collection agency 3000 for a ct and a pet scan. For this reason my credit is ruined, and so I will be unable to attend college next semester. I work two jobs(25 hours a week), but it is only enough to pay for my current fulltime college status and car payments/gas at the moment.

It's interesting to see how the system beats you down when you are down.
You survived cancer when you were 18?
Yes, I did.
Okay. Well, then you can't go to college anymore.

Okay... Well, I'll make it happen somehow. They said I'd die, but I made them wrong. I'll keep making this life thing happen no matter what.

I might be damaged, covered in scars, bald, and weak, but I will not die.

Take risk-never care,

I'd punch you in the arm and nod if I was a Satanist, but curing yourself of cancer might just be why you don't have memory of your dreams. What you might have met in your dreams and how your ordeal went would be intertwined, to speak of cancer as if you beat it would be to ignore the idea of keeping cancer an acute angle, not the obtuse of an angel.

Cancer is kept at a sixty degree angle in medicine to viruses and bacteria, and with enough soap you can blow up anything.

Good on you! Took it into your own hands and just like that, you were cured. Its funny how that is sometimes.

My one question is were you accepting death and thus, decided an alternate medicine route? Those medicines to not promise to rid you of cancer, so you must of still had the fear and thought of death in your mind. How did you overpower that fear?

sorry but i also had testicular cancer which had spread to my lungs and spine,cisplatin and bliomicen or somthing it was called,u say the drugs were killing u and u used some dr budwigs theroy?.......soz but don,t get u,the drugs may have drained u but also what kept u alive......as for those who asked about death....to me i wasn,t scared,never was once.....i accepted it,what else was i going to do?point is the fact i didn,t fret on it was the reason i got through it,if ur going to die then ur going to die......nothing u can do about it......been clear for 3 years and nothing 2 do with any diet or breathing exercises,yeah positive thinking helps but nothing else but the treatment they give u.

You're gonna go far.

as gringo highlighted about ur economical problems,that i don,t get,why do u need to even bring that up?every1 that goes thru cancer goes thru it.........bringing such a thing up just makes me think u have alterior motives......soz if i,m wrong but seems that way to me.

That makes sense. when I was looking that info up it did mention countries that have higher rates than the US with it being more prevalent in countries with colder climates.

I'm sorry I made you read about how the medical system here in the USA has burdened a cancer survivor post treatment. I feel that it was relevant.

Give me money.

A friend of mine had testicular cancer 15 years ago, took 3 chemos and is now cancer-free (as it is called if the t-cells-counters are below a specific value, don't ask me the number).

Chemo is not always problemfree, but it is a wellknown and understood process - simply ignoring it because it hurts the body and does castrate you in fact, is not a good way in my opinion.

Modern medicine CAN work wonders. If you believe in something else, so be it. But don't always expect wonders from unknown sources. Good for you if it works, really!

In nearly all alternative medicines for curing cancer one thing is true and that is alkalising the body gets rid of cancer. Cancer does not like a PH balanced system (7.2 - 7.5) yet thrives when a body has an acidic system. There are many scientific studies that have been hidden or covered up that have proved this. When have doctors done PH tests on people especially those with cancer. In western culture most of our systems are acidic and that is why we have such a high incidence of cancer, heart disease and diabetes. Acidic foods, stressful lifestyles and electromagnetic radiation make our systems acidic. When curing cancer with lifestyle changes those changes must be maintained or the cancer may return. Going back to an acidic diet when someone thinks that they have being cured is not a good idea.

When looking at the evidence it is clear that a few of the goals of the powers to be are served by the current system Eg population reduction, profitable medicine, and keeping the population weak and sick

Once I made the conscious choice to survive, the rest was history. I decided to live. Life is a frightening thing. We all die someday. It's a real fear for anyone, especially a cancer patient. But I made up my mind to live, and from then on I was sure I would.

I'm a huge believer that the mind controls the body. I think when doctors tell their patients that they are going to die, it does them more harm than good. Once they believe they are going to die, that's it.

I often wonder if cancer rates from smoking would be less if the packets didn't tell people what disease they are going to get.

Glad to hear that you took control of your own life and saved yourself. It's a pity most other people don't.
