Started using Poly MVA in 1999, UPDATE: 3-2007
A biopsy in the Spring of 1999 revealed two estrogen-receptive DCIS growths in my left breast, one the size of a pea (Stage 2). Radical mastectomy was immediately recommended. Several "second opinions" also recommended that I should have the 'offending breast' totally removed, including the lymph node which would determine whether chemotherapy and / or radiation would be needed. I was also prescribed Tamoxifen.
However, I refused all of these options. I immediately changed my diet to eliminate all estrogen-producing foods, i.e. milk & meat products which have received hormone additives; I stayed clear of microwaves, increased my already mostly Asian diet of seaweed, mushrooms and tofu, and increased my vitamins and supplements.
My original doctor, previous doctor to H.H. The Dalai Lama - Yeshi Dhonden, supplied me with Tibetan herbal pills assuring me that the cancer would not migrate. However, being a Holistic Practitioner myself, (i.e. Clinical Hypnotherapist), I realized the importance of integrative approach. Unfortunately, unable to establish the ongoing communication between Tibetan and Western medicine necessary to continue monitoring this disease properly, I decided to discontinue treatment.
Shortly later, I was lucky enough to be present at a lecture by Albert Sanchez on Poly-MVA. I was so impressed by this man that I decided to try this product immediately, not even questioning the science. But I also purchased Dr. M. Garnett's personal journal: First Pulse, and read this book with fascination! Here was a doctor whose science seemed to agree with my beliefs: DO NO HARM! Taking the Poly, I was able to discern the power immediately and obtained the go ahead to use it from my Tibetan doctor.
In July 1999, in order to convince me of the urgency of a mastectomy, my Oncologist requested another mammogram. In fact, the mammogram was done twiceŠ but still could show no suspicious results! My Oncologist seemed nonplussed. He asked me what I proposed to do next; without hesitation I answered: "Continue the Poly-MVA.
UPDATE: 1-27-2004
In 2001, during the course of my follow-ups, I asked my doctor about Thermography since I was not fond of mammograms. I was told that it was not available and ultrasound was recommended. In July 2002 the ultrasound proved "suspicious" and a biopsy revealed malignancy (although the mammogram had showed results as benign!)
Once again, my Oncologist recommended lumpectomy, if not mastectomy. I asked for an MRI which then showed suspicion in BOTH breasts! Meanwhile, I started on a loading dose of Poly and after 3 months requested another ultrasound. "Not possible," the doctor exclaimed: "Why should we do that? We KNOW you have cancer."
But I was not convinced and searched out a location where Thermography was available. This is a non-invasive technique, fully approved by the FDA (although NOT reimbursable by HMO's) whereby an infra-red photo is made in a cold room highlighting any areas not affected by the drop in temperature. (i.e. thermo = heat). I understand that this method of diagnosis is 70% accurate with the first result and is 90% accurate with the second.
In September 2003 both these results showed NO abnormality in EITHER breast. I called my Oncologist to explain why I was putting off the operation and asked if she would look at these test results. Upon seeing them she said: "Dear, I cannot trust these results since we KNOW you have cancer." Meanwhile, I continue to feel fine & continue sipping my Poly-MVA.
UPDATE: 3-2007
Taking the Poly-MVA for several years had been unable to earn me the "cancer free' credential from any OncologistŠ maybe because I was not taking large enough dose.
However, at this time I have finally been declared "cancer free" by the medical establishmentŠ Why? Because I underwent a bi-lateral mastectomy in 2005. Why? Because I desperately needed both hips replaced. Why? Because my Orthopedic Surgeon refused to perform this operation unless I got a mastectomy FIRST. So, being in unbearable pain, I agreed. (The mastectomy operation, however, was more debilitating than I had anticipatedŠ but the hip surgery much easier!)
When the Oncologist notified me regarding the analysis of the malignancy, he exclaimed "Oh, your cancer was more aggressive than I had believed!" But he never questioned the fact that I had survived comfortably 5 years with no metastis. He continues to urge me to follow up with Femara, etc. but I just continue sipping my Poly-MVAŠ. and SMILING!
