Douglas’ Story

I was diagnosed May 1, 2006 with Multiple Myeloma Stage III. X-rays revealed three fractures in the spine, lesions on the rib cage and upper arm bones. I was immediately admitted to the hospital. I began a chemotherapy, Decadron, Velcade and Doxorubicin combo, by IV, every four days. On the fourth day, I was released from the hospital.

I previously heard of Poly MVA at a Cancer Control Conference seven years ago and I had a book about it. I called the telephone number in the book and on May 15, 2006, I met with Gary Matson of AMARC. I then purchased Poly MVA and began the daily protocol. I had an initial IgG reading of 7369 and a B2m of 3.6. I experience muscle neuropathy after the first month, so they cut the chemo doses by 1/3 and the IV regimen to once weekly. The doctor recommended four months of chemo, followed by a bone marrow transplant.

On July 31, 2006 I chose to stop chemo because my IgG had returned to normal range, as did my B2m. I continued with Poly MVA August thru November. On November 14, 2006 my oncologist said I was in complete remission. I experienced no nausea, no vomiting and no hair loss during chemo.

As of February 20, 2007 I am still in normal range on blood work.
