They Are Determined For Me To Have Lymphoma

10/7/2020

25 Comments

 
Here's an update on the nightmare I've been going through for the past two months.

​I went to see a thyroid specialist at the end of July. He found swollen lymph nodes around my neck. They did a biopsy that was inconclusive for the cancer I used to have, which was Non-Hodgkin’s T-cell Lymphoma. This oncologist wanted me to get a second opinion and sent me to an oncologist where I battled cancer the first time.
 
So, I saw the oncologist today, October 7, 2020. The “second opinion” at the hospital I used to go to when I had cancer/Non-Hodgkin’s T-cell Lymphoma. This was the doctor’s response to all my blood work and questions in summary:
 
He listed ALL the symptoms of Lymphoma, asking me if I have any of these symptoms. I have NONE of them. But that means nothing. Nearly ALL my blood work was NORMAL with literally “NO indication of cancer in the blood.” His words. The only blood work that wasn’t normal was the blood work that indicated I have inflammation (Immunoglobulin G). Because I have inflammation, he has concluded I have Lymphoma. He also said the biopsy indicated I have Lymphoma because it detected T-cells in the tissue (forget the fact that T-cells ALSO indicate I could have a bacterial infection). But any kind of infection was not an option. Instead, I have Lymphoma. Period. No ifs ands or buts. So, either I’m going to be the longest living patient with Lymphoma or, IMO, I have an infection. 
 
Yesterday, I got results back on my teeth. I have two to three teeth that are abscessed, and two that are full of cavities close to the roots. The dentist said I don’t have enough saliva in my mouth (all thanks to my previous cancer treatments that damaged my salivary glands), so my teeth are severely infected at the roots. They will ALL need to come out. So, arrangements are being made to have six of my teeth extracted (FUN), all on the bottom jaw line. This type of bacterial infection can certainly cause “inflammation” in my body and swollen lymph nodes around my neck (which I have). There’s no indication of swollen lymph nodes anywhere else in or on my body.
 
We shared this news with the oncologist, but it means nothing, I still have cancer. He said, either Lymphoma can cause infections, or infections can cause Lymphoma. But he still strongly encouraged me to get my teeth taken care of before treatment. I have not chosen to do his treatment at this moment in time, and most likely I never will choose to do his treatment.
 
The treatment he has to offer is a drug called Brentuximab. This drug acts very similarly to B17 (what originally wiped out in total eight of my tumors). Brentuximab is what they call a “smart drug” because it goes directly to the cancer cell and then releases the chemo in that cancer cell. I find it interesting because B17 goes right into the cancer cell, which then creates a chemical reaction that then produces cyanide, which is then released into the cancer cell; therefore, killing the cancer cell. 
 
The oncologist really would like for me to get a PET scan, so he can see where/if any other tumors might be. I told him I’m not comfortable with that because of damage to my kidneys. He repeatedly said the PET scan does not harm the kidneys because it doesn’t use contrast like the MRI. However, I said, “But it uses radioactive material. How can that be good for the kidneys?” I then asked if he’d be willing to write down that the PET scan will not damage my kidneys and sign his name to it? He suggested I have the radiologist do that. I said, “But you’re the one who is saying it won’t damage my kidneys, so it makes more sense that you would sign something that says that.” I said, “I’m the one who has to live with these kidneys, not you.” I said all this with a smile. He said he would not sign something that says that. (E-hem!!! Why not?!! If it doesn’t cause any damage?!) Anyway, he said the last blood work I’d gotten from them in 2012 did not indicate kidney damage. I said, but three months after that blood work, I got test results showing early signs of damage. No acknowledgment.
 
Final conclusion, according to this doctor (who was friendly and not rude, but narrow-minded) I have Lymphoma. 
 
This is called “protocol.” They MUST follow protocol even to the detriment of the patient to prevent getting sued (this I learned from my family physician). Had I followed the oncologist’s protocol the first time around (by taking more chemo), I would have died eight years ago.
 
In the end, GOD is my Physician. He has my days numbered. And (whether you believe this is possible or not, because He’s done this with me before) He let me know, “Everything’s gonna be okay.”  He is the One holding me together. My husband’s words. 
 
Please pray that all will go smoothly with my teeth! AAaaack!!!

Sandi, I praise God for your knowledge and wit! Is it always this easy to see that all they want is the money? Makes me TIRED! Please keep us informed every step of the way. I'm stunned about your teeth because I know your salivary glands were fried by the earlier "treatment!" Hang in there. Love you! ❤️🕊💯

Sandi, your incredible wit, strength, and bravery are an example for every Christian out there. Stick to your guns!! These doctors work by rote and protocol, and overall know nothing about general health, only how to fix the boo-boos. And certainly we need them for that, but for real healthcare it seems we must rely upon God and ourselves. I’m sure you will overcome this just as you did before. I do believe God spoke to your heart and I do believe you will come out of this new challenge healthy and glowing! xo

I’ve been wondering about you a lot the last few weeks and here is your blog! I bought some apricot kernels from Swanson Vitamins and wondered if these would be as good as the tablets. Prayers for you, milady, you will be triumphant again!

As long as the kernels are of the BITTER variety, they should work. For cancer they say take 3-6 per hour daily. SLOWLY build up to the higher doses, and if you're a small woman, you may even need to start with less than is suggested. I can't even do 3 kernels per hour daily. I'm not terribly small, but my blood pressure is very low (it WILL lower your blood pressure), so I have to be careful.

Dear Sandi,
I'm reading your site as I am praying and helping my Mom with her stomach cancer. She is also taking ESSIAC tea and in my research I have found that ESSIAC tea definitely works for Lymphoma.
Here is an excerpt from "Calling of an Angel" by GLUM:
"The second case was much more recent-and even more dramatic. This one involved
a man named Ross Nimchick. Along with Nimchick's case file-which contained all
the supporting medical records-Dr. Brusch had a written account from Nimchick
detailing every step of the way in his own words:
"June 15, 1986. I, Ross Nimchick, came down with a cold and loss of voice. My
glands were swollen and I noticed a lump near my left collarbone and in the groin
area.
"June 23rd: Appointment with Dr. Clinton. He examined the lump and gave me a
prescription and had me go for blood tests. "June 25th: Blood tests taken at Holyoke
Hospital.
"July 7th: Dr. Clinton recommends a biopsy "July 2lst: Biopsy completed at Holyoke
Hospital.
"July 30th: I called Dr. Clinton's office for the biopsy report. Dr. Akers told me I had
malignant lymphoma and to contact Dr. Ross.
"July 30th: Stitches taken out from biopsy operation. "August 6th, `86: Dr. Ross
examined me in her office. She measured the nodes, took my height, weight, and had
me go for more blood tests. Dr. Ross said I was in the third to fourth stage of
lymphoma.
"August 8th: Bone marrow test done in Dr. Ross' office. "August l8th: CAT scan
done at Holyoke Hospital.
"August 22nd: Dr. Ross gave me the results of all the tests. I do not have to return
until October 2,`86, unless I feel my condition begin to deteriorate.
"August 28th: I discuss my condition with Dr. Brusch and we go over the vitamins
and Mr. Croft's daily food intake program. "September 3rd: I begin to take my
vitamins and start on the food program.
"September l2th: I begin to take Essiac. Two ounces mixed in two ounces of warm
water. All water I am drinking is purified by reverse osmosis.
"October 2nd,`86: Dr. Ross examines me and she has a blood test done. I no longer
notice any sweating and I feel stronger. I am still on my vitamins, food diet and
Essiac.
"December 2nd: Dr. Ross examines me and I have blood tests completed. No
treatment needed, although white blood count up to 25. l. Dr. Ross wants me to
come in for blood tests January 3.
"End of December,`86: I caught a cold and felt weak. I have increased my vitamin
C. The nodes under my armpits have grown slightly and the nodes near my groin
have remained the same.
"January 3rd,`87: Went in for blood tests but no exam by Dr. Ross. Dr. Ross informs
me over the phone that my white blood count has increased and that next time she
may have to start me on medication. I have discontinued my diet and begun to eat
pineapple, take vitamin B-6 and I increased my intake of broccoli.
"February 3rd,`87: Dr. Ross examines me and has blood tests done. I have gained
two pounds. White blood count has dropped slightly. I have noticed my nodes have
decreased in all areas. I have decreased my vitamin C to one gram, my vitamin B-6
to 100 milligrams per day. During February, I noticed my nodes going down about
50%. I feel in good health and I am no longer tired.
"March 2nd,`87: Dr. Ross examines me and has a blood test taken. White blood and
red blood count are normal. Dr. Ross said they must have made a mistake and
ordered another blood test taken. Same result. Nodes under my left armpit are no
longer there. Nodes under my right armpit have gone down 95 %. Nodes on both my
groins have decreased in size by about 95%. My neck has only one node left, and
that is also decreased by about 95%. I feel in excellent health. I am continuing with
my vitamins and two ounces of Essiac and two ounces of warm water."
Nimchick's statements are verified by the ofiicial hospital records in Dr. Brusch's
file. Then Dr. Brusch read a letter he'd received from Nimchick, dated May 30,
1987:
"I just wanted to send you a brief note to say I am feeling great. I am continuing my
vitamins, food program and two ounces of Essiac daily. As I look back to last fall of
`86, I remember how tired and weak I used to feel. But today I am strong, full of
energy and back to my old self prior to having lymphoma.
"I have enclosed a picture taken last December, which shows lumps under my chin.
This is the only picture of myself. I have also enclosed my latest report from my
blood test of April 27th. My next test is June 22nd,`87, which I will forward to you
upon completion.
"In closing, Dr. Brusch, your program with Essiac has returned me to 100% health
with no further lymph nodes and a normal life again. I look forward to talking to you
soon after my next report. Sincerely, Ross Nimchick."
With cases like that in his files after almost 30 years of personal experience with
Essiac, Dr. Brusch is frustrated and unhappy at the lack of attention it has received
from medical authorities. But he has no plans to give up his public praise of Essiac.
Why? Because he's convinced t

I Pray all goes well for you, God Bless you for what you told us. I work in the medical field and now a days, If you have symptoms for cancer they test you and do a scan to look for signs of it then say there's no cancer. To find out 2 months later you're in stage 4.

Hi Sandi,

I have recently discovered your blog/videos and find your story inspiring. I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma when I was 20 years old and have suffered through treatments for the last 8 years. (chemo, stem cell transplant, and radiation) I am currently on the drug brentuximab which I don't think is really doing anything for me except making my hair fall out. I currently have a swollen lymph node under my collarbone that is very close to the surface and can be seen protruding from my chest. I know its not getting smaller from the treatment, if anything it may have gotten bigger. I've expressed concerns to my doctor but she ignores me and won't even order a scan.

I started researching B17 after hearing about it from a random stranger and that led me to your blog. Our experiences seem so similar. It gave me hope that B17 would work for me too. I've been eating apricot seeds for about a month now but I'm not sure that it's really helping either. At first I thought for sure I could feel the lump getting smaller, but now it's like its just stopped and is not getting larger nor smaller. I've been eating 50 apricot seeds per day spread out throughout the day, while also taking brentuximab. Do you think I should buy the pills to get stronger doses? They are really expensive to get shipped to Canada and I don't want to waste money on something that may not work.

I'm sorry to read about your teeth and other issues you've had as a result from treatments. I hope its just an infection. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

    On November 1, 2010, I was diagnosed with Stage Four Non-Hodgkins T-cell Lymphoma when my oncologist found a tumor in my head. He gave me radiation for this tumor, which continued to light up on all the PET scans for the rest of my treatments, but the growth had stopped. Within a year-and-a-half I was given eight rounds of chemo (including 22-hour bags and other numerous amounts of smaller injections of chemo that are innumerable—nearly bleeding to death twice), 35 treatments of radiation, a stem-cell transplant (which included "enough chemo to kill a healthy person"—my oncologist liked to say—along with full-body radiation), and numerous amounts of drugs and one magnesium vitamin. 
    Despite this aggressive protocol, all these traditional cancer treatments failed. After this, I was left with three tumors: one in my ribcage and two in my spine. By October 2011 they did radiation on these tumors in order to stop the growth. 

    In the beginning of November of 2011 I saw a naturopathic doctor who gave me high doses of Vitamin C (via an IV), a slew of vitamins, and I got on Vitamin B17. During this time I was on an immune suppressant drug prescribed by my oncologist called Tacrolimus (a.k.a. Tac) because of the stem-cell transplant (they didn’t want my new immune system to attack me), along with a slew of other drugs. I’d gotten the transplant so that I could receive a new immune system that would kill off the cancer because it’s our immune systems that kill cancer. But they overdosed me on the Tac, which is likely why the cancer returned. Still, while on the Tac, the B17 worked, and by the end of December of 2011, I was declared in remission. 

    At this time I was taking 70 pills a day, which included drugs from the oncologist and supplements from the naturopathic doctor, including the B17. It was too much for me, so I got off all the supplements (including the B17), but continued taking what my oncologist prescribed. Then in February of 2012, the cancer came back, revealing a tumor in my pelvic bone. Again, I got radiation, but I still didn’t take any more of the supplements, including the B17.

    Then in June I got another PET scan which revealed more tumors. The tumor in my pelvic bone still lit up (just like the one in my head did until the end of December 2011), I had another tumor in my rib cage, and three in my lymph nodes. By this time we were defeated. I was going to die. My oncologist, Dr. Myint from Colorado University Hospital, said all he could offer was more chemo, and sent me home to think about it. By this time, I had nothing to lose. I decided to slowly wean myself off the immune suppressant drugs (namely the Tac), along with all the other drugs the oncologist had me on, and I read up on Vitamin B17. At my next appointment with my oncologist, I refused the chemo (if I was going to die, I’d rather die strong than with my head in a toilet) and told the nurse practitioner that I was going to take Vitamin B17. Dr. Mijnt came in later, and when I asked him if he’d heard of B17, he puffed up his chest, and said, “Yes, of course.” But that’s all he said, and normally, he’d go on and on about the quackery of other alternative treatments we (my husband and I) had mentioned in the past, but this time he said nothing. They were willing to monitor me on this, and I was to return in eight weeks for another PET scan.

    In August of 2012, I got on Vitamin B17, 500mg twice a day. Eight weeks later, these were the results of the PET scan: the tumor in my pelvic bone was gone; the one in my ribcage was gone; and the three in my lymph nodes, one was gone, the other was almost completely gone, and the other had shrunk so much my oncologist wasn't worried about it (by this time I had a new oncologist who was unaware that I was taking B17). After doing the math, I figured by ten weeks, all the cancer was gone.
     
    Vitamin B17 wiped out my cancer on two separate occasions: December of 2011 while taking the immune suppressant drug (Tac) and in October of 2012 when I was off the Tac. This means the Tac had no affect on the cancer, and I could not have experienced a “spontaneous remission” as doubters believe. I've been free of cancer now for SEVEN years since October 2012, all because of God's stuff, His vitamin B17, a concentrated form of bitter apricot kernels. All the glory belongs to my Father who is in Heaven. Praise His Name!
