WK is an 81-year old female diagnosed in March 2004 with Stage 4 colon cancer and liver metastasis as revealed by a CT scan. The cancer caused a blockage that required a colon resection (hemicolectomy) performed in April 2004. She refused post-operative chemotherapy. She experienced a
recurrence as evidenced by a CT scan in March 06/06 that revealed multiple liver lesions, the largest measuring 1.9x1.4 cm and there were several smaller ones noted as well. She was experiencing GI pain in her right upper quadrant. Ultrasound showed several hypoechoic and isoechoic lesions in the liver. The CT scan also showed an obstruction that was causing her pain. On June 30/06 her AST was elevated at 55. She was offered chemotherapy as palliative care and was told she only had a 3-6 month lifespan. Once again she refused conventional therapies. WK started treatments at a clinic on May 15/06 which included: biweekly H2O2 in a 250 dextrose bag mixed with Mg, Mn, hyaluronic acid (HA) 25 mg and B12 delivered intravenously (IV). The physicians reasoning for using HA is that tumors have receptors for hyaluronic acid and it is used as a targeting agent. This was followed by homeopathic treatment with Traumeel, Lymphomyosot (lymphatic formula), Engystol (antiviral) in IV immediately afterwards. WK also received twice weekly Poly-MVA IV infusion which was run through a filter and mixed with CoQ10 (homeopathic) and 100 mg of saline and HA 25 mg after receiving the other two IVs. She took the Poly-MVA 4 tsp twice daily orally on the days she did not receive it IV. On a different day during the week she would receive 60 mg of IV vitamin C in sterile water with HA 100 mg once per week. WK would separate the oral Poly-MVA from the IV vitamin C by at least 6 hours. She continued this protocol for one year. By Aug 23/06 her AST was normal at 35. She continues to feel great, no symptoms and her quality of life (Karnofsky) score is 100%. Her CT scan on Oct 12/06 revealed that the large liver lesion no longer visible. Other small lesions were stable and no obstruction. After one year, the protocol was reduced to once per week for several months, then one to two times each month as maintenance. Almost 3 years after diagnosis, she is doing extremely well, very active, positive, and pain free. She continues the protocol once per week. She takes Poly-MVA 3 tsp twice/day as maintenance. She continues to have a follow up with her oncologist approximately every 6 months.
