I am pleased to be able to submit this report to the Poly-MVA Survivors’ Website -- the successful results of my 8 month bout with metastatic cancer using no chemo or radiation therapy, only surgery and “alternative” methods. At age 79, I got rid of Stage 4 cancer without damage to my immune system or my organs. IT CAN BE DONE!

March 25, 2002, was my first indication that a neoplasm had spread to the lymph nodes under my left axillary (arm pit), because I had not been experiencing any symptoms except a recent loss of weight, plus weakness and loss of energy. The lesion was surgically removed and presented to several pathology laboratories including the Air Force Lab at Bethesda, MD, where it was diagnosed as poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. This meant that the doctors were unable to tell where this tumorous cancer had originated. The oncologist recommended immediate radiation and sent me to a radiologist who set up a schedule of radiation treatments for 38 weeks.

Desiring to keep my immune system viable, I refused conventional treatment and searched for an alternative, less destructive, protocol. A widely-accepted product,

MGN-3 from Japan, was suggested to me by a cancer survivor. It had been shown to increase the activity of macrophages, B cells, and Natural Killer cells in the immune system. Immediately, I began taking 12 capsules daily (3 grams) to increase my immune function. Little did I think, at that time, that the worst was about to happen. Two weeks after my surgery the tumor came back, and within a month it was as big as a golf ball!! I needed some quick answers!

I searched the internet for information regarding cancer. This required many hours of study and research on my part, on not only what to avoid, but what was needed to maintain healthy cell production. I found that treating cancer is not a simple procedure, but a multi-faceted operation. For me, it involved a vigorous change in life style, such as eating habits and curtailing certain activities. Also, I avoided, as much as possible, such toxins as smoke, air pollution, impure water, poisonous gases, elements such as chlorine in drinking water and swimming pools, fluorine in toothpaste, and aluminum found in antiperspirants, cookware, foil and stomach remedies. I also eliminated foods containing pesticides, algaecides, etc., cured meats, sugars, white flour, dairy products and many other carcinogenic foods such as grilled meats and overheated fats and oils.

To encourage my body to make healthy cells, I oxygenated my cells with exercise, maintained a good state of mind by controlling stress, created a peaceful environment, got enough sleep, and breathed fresh, uncontaminated air. I also drank at least eight glasses of pure, unchlorinated water per day, ate primarily organic, uncooked vegetables and salads, used non-fluoride toothpaste, kept my intestines cleansed, and got regular massages. All this, plus much support from my church, family and friends certainly hastened my recovery.

But somehow I knew I needed to do even more. After an exhaustive search of alternative therapies, I decided on a protocol that was developed by immunologist Dr. Jesse Stoff of Immune Therapies International. This treatment was based on the premise that since cancer cells feed on fermented sugar and cannot differentiate between sugar and ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), that if a cancer patient is given megadoses of Vitamin C intravenously over an extended period of time, the cancer cells will literally starve to death.

I was admitted to Dr. Stoff’s clinic in Atlanta on May 6, 2002, where I began to receive 75,000 mg of Vitamin C intravenously every day. After one week, to eliminate the stress of staying in a hotel and fighting city traffic twice daily, my wife Joyce and I moved to our summer home in the mountains of North Carolina. There, where the air was clean and cool, life was much less stressful, and we could prepare healing meals, drink unpolluted water and I could sit on our deck overlooking the beautiful mountains while Joyce administered my daily three-hour intravenous treatments. We began the IV treatments again on June 9, after a three week interval of no IVs at all. As the cancer cells died, I felt very ill. I think I was experiencing what is called “a healing crises”, as the dead cancer cells were being processed out of my body through my kidneys and my liver.

By the end of June, the tumor mass under my arm had reduced to the size of a pea! A second CAT scan confirmed this. The treatments and all my own lifestyle changes and supplements had been successful! At that point, I decided to discontinue the IVs because I was beginning to get dehydrated, and I suspected that they were the cause, so I searched for another treatment modality to take its place.

That’s when I started using Poly-MVA. I discovered that Poly-MVA had produced positive results for many cancer patients. After two weeks on it at 12 tsp. per day, I sent my blood plasma to the Onco Lab in Boston for their AMAS test, to measures the anti-malignan (anticancer) antibody response of my body. The test results, 171, indicated that my cancer was still active, but that my immune system was still producing anti-malignan antibodies to destroy it. I was told that another test in 30 days would determine the efficacy of my treatments. If the results dropped below 135, it would probably mean that I was in remission.

I continued on 6 tsp. a day of Poly-MVA , MGN-3 and my other supplements, which included Coenzyme Q 10, Seacure, selenium, probiotic, multiple vitamins and minerals, and a diet of mostly organic vegetables with some chicken and fish. By the end of July, after a month on Poly-MVA, there was no evidence of the tumor remaining, and I was feeling much improved.

Early in October I received the results of another AMAS test. My antibody count had gone up slightly, (199), not down. I was told that this increase in a cancer marker often occurs temporarily whenever there is a large cancer die-off, and that if that was the cause, I should see a sharp drop in the marker soon.

I was very encouraged when the results of my PET scan on November 1 showed that my entire body was free of cancer. On November 14, the results of my fourth AMAS test came back with a score of 55! I was a successfully treated cancer patient, for which I give praise to the Lord Jesus!

On February 21, 2003, a new AMAS test result showed a score of 40, indicating that I was still cancer free after three months. I plan to continue taking the AMAS test every four months. It’s taking a while to get all my strength back, but I’m mostly there. I’m feeling great and feeling stronger all the time. I never did regain all of my lost weight, but I think that’s because the diet I’ve been on is not conducive to weight gain. I am very grateful for my new lease on life!
