Hi Gregg,

In March of 1998 I was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer with a 2.5cm
tumor in my right lung and metastases to the spine and lymph nodes. I
had 14 radiation treatments to the spine to alleviate the pain which
brought me to the doctor in the first place. I simultaneously began
carboplatin/taxol chemo once every three weeks. When there was no
change in my primary tumor after 12 weeks of chemo,in June of 1998,I
began using 4 ounces of essiac twice a day, 400mg a day of CoQ-10,
vitamins with 20-30 times the RDAs of most of the anti-oxidants and
including 200 micrograms a day of selenium, 500mg a day of cats claw
bark, and 100 mg a day of grapeseed extract which also contained 400 mg
of MSM(methyl sulfonyl methane). After 6 weeks on this program my tumor
had shrunk by 50%. It continued to shrink until 4 months later in Nov.
1998 my oncologist said there was no detectable disease. I have had no
chemo or traditional treatment since October 1998. As of 8/99 there is
still no detectable evidence of disease. I don't know if it was due to
the alternatives, the chemo, or a combination of both, but something
worked. While on this program I had no unpleasant side effects from the
chemo. No fatigue or nausea. I continued to work full time. I did have
hiccups, hair loss, and lowered white blood cells which were normalized
with Neupogen injections.

Hopefully the alternatives may help your dad as much as I think they
helped me. Perhaps if you show this to your dad, you can convince him
to add the alternatives to his chemotherapy.

I am not selling anything and I only hope to pass along the information
I learned during my 8 month battle with stage 4 lung cancer.

If you have any questions, feel free

Good luck!....Bob Karjala
