Metastatic Ovarian Cancer stage 3

JD #28505

June 2020: Patient (48 year old female) presents for ACU treatment for swollen abdomen; patient appears healthy and well but has a basketball size abdomen from ascites and other fluids being retained.  She has gained 20-25 lbs. of fluid over the last few weeks.  12 cm ovarian cyst is present per her other testing and imaging.

She proceeds to schedule surgery for excision of ovarian tumor.  Prior to surgery her CA-125 marker was checked and the result was 3663 (range < 35).  After surgery her body weight returned to her normal and she lost 13-14 lbs. of fluid immediately.  A complete hysterectomy was performed; along with segmental colon resection with lymph node removal for pathological analysis.  13 out of 14 lymph nodes were positive for metastatic cancer.  Pathology puts her in a Stage III c diagnostic category.

3 weeks after her surgery we did a complete blood analysis and other comprehensive testing with her.  She proceeded to follow the program, focusing on limiting sugars and cleaning up her diet as a whole.  Supplements were suggested and followed and her 2 month retests with comparison to the original testing can be found below:

On July 23rd, 2020 her first blood panel was done and this occurred 3 weeks after she had surgery.  The CA-125 went from 3663 down to 89.20.  Note: The hysterectomy surgery removed a large mass of cancer, thus the reduction of the CA-125 from 3663 down to 89.20.  This remaining 89.20 indicates metastasized cancer to other parts of the body, and this is why chemo therapy is medically recommended.  A LASA test was also assessed and found to be 30.00. 

Note the significant drop in CA125 and LASA from July 23th to September 29th.

On July 23rd, 2020 her first blood panel was done and this occurred 3 weeks after she had surgery.  The CA-125 went from 3663 down to 89.20.  Note: The hysterectomy surgery removed a large mass of cancer, thus the reduction of the CA-125 from 3663 down to 89.20.  This remaining 89.20 indicates metastasized cancer to other parts of the body, and this is why chemo therapy is medically recommended.  A LASA test was also assessed and found to be 30.00. 

2 months later on the retest dated September 29th, 2020 her CA-125 went from 89.2 down to 10.3 and her LASA test is back to optimal as well at 14.   Only natural methods using diet and unique nutritional products were used during this time, which resulted in the body being able to mount a stronger defense causing the cancer markers to reduce.

The ESR values are also included as a general marker for inflammation.  She started at 35 in July and by September had already improved nicely to 26.  The goal is to get her down below 10 and keep her there. 

These results are not uncommon for our patients that follow the special nutrient and diet plan designed specifically for them based on their own lab testing.

As we always say, this was not a cancer treatment protocol but rather a way to support her body so that it could heal itself. 

She is not done yet and certainly still has room for more improvements.  We will likely check her blood work 1-2 times each year in the future and will be monitoring her tumor markers every 60-90 days until the values remain optimal.   In fact, the goal now is to keep these tumor markers at the current level or lower for the next 40-50 years of her life. 

The patient wrote me an email not long ago, stating that she enjoyed walking into her oncologist’s office and telling him that she had done so well without the chemo and radiation treatments he suggested.  While she stated that he was only mildly curious about what she had been doing, she told me that he did make a copy of her nutrient list and blood test results so that it could become part of her file.
