Betsy

[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

Both the one who sent me this message and Betsy have been gone for a few

years now.

 

I present this as an example of what the Flaxseed Oil did for awhile in

spite of the chemo.

 

Both Betsy and the author of the message stayed with the allopathic

treatments to the bitter end though they were helped by the FO/CC.

Hi,

 

This originally came from a friend of mine.

 

Betsy is a friend of ours, in her 70s I suppose. She has multiple myeloma,

a

very deadly kind of bone cancer, and is being treated by the same

oncologist I go to.

 

We saw Betsy a couple weeks ago. She's bright eyed and bushy tailed...her

old self. She mentioned that Dr. had recently told her she was his

" miracle patient " .

 

This spring I had heard about Betsy's situation. It was greatly different

from what it is today. She was extremely sick and unable to eat. She could

only lie in bed and was just wasting away. Her husband, Don, thought she

was

dying. He may have been right. It had taken a long time for her doctors to

diagnose an obviously deteriorating health condition as multiple myeloma,

so

that it was quite an advanced case before she was referred to Dr.-------,

as I understand it. I believe she had recently been started on chemotherapy

by -------- a little before I learned what was happening. But no matter how

good

his treatment might have been, if she couldn't eat she wasn't going to get

better.

 

I went down to --------- and bought a pint of Barlean's lignan rich

flaxseed

oil, some low-fat cottage cheese, a pineapple and some honey, and took it

over to Don.

 

Don made Betsy a smoothie, using some of the pineapple to cover the taste

of

the oil. A little later I learned that Betsy had called the smoothie

" delicious food " . She could eat it! Later still, I heard that Betsy likes

tuna fish in her flaxseed oil and cottage cheese smoothies, instead of the

pineapple. You can use anything in the smoothies to make them taste good to

you. In the meantime, Don had ordered some of the oil direct from

Barlean's.

If you're a cancer patient it's sold to you at wholesale and costs about

half as much as at-------------or other health food stores, even with the

shipping cost.

 

It wasn't too much longer before Betsy was able to get up and be in a

wheelchair. Soon she was able to stand and get around a little with a

walker. A month or so ago she went in some cancer event that involved a

3-mile walk. She had intended only to do the first mile but ended up doing

the whole thing! She was back.

 

Betsy is an avid gardener and has one of the city plots. She had been able

to get the garden planted somehow, with help from Don, and it has been

delivering great quantities of produce all summer. Every now and then Don

brings some by for us. He thinks I saved Betsy's life.

 

Is Betsy's amazing response to the treatment of this devasting kind of bone

cancer because of the combined benefits of the flaxseed oil and

chemotherapy?

 

My friend----------

 

There is controversy here. I see this as an example of the fact that

flaxseed oil will be of real benefit even though chemo is being used. I

personally do not know of many , if any,situations where the continuous use

of chemo has resulted in real recovery.

 

Chemo does kill cancer cells, maybe 9d5 to 98% of them, but does not kill

all of them. The patient is now in remission but the resistant cells

continue to survive and increase. As the " treatment " is continued, the

cancer cells are not affected, but the good cells of the body and the

immune

system, heart, liver, etc. are contuing to be destroyed.

 

When the patient is aware that the cancer has " returned " a new chemo must

be

tried because the old one is no longer is effective. The cycle is again

followed and the patient is again in " remission " . The word " remission " is

used because there is no expectation of a cure.

 

With each new cycle of chemo the patient is increasingly weaker and less

able to fight the invader and death will occur.

 

The flaxseed oil, with the Omega 3, may be a major help but cannot do the

whole job against the destruction of the chemo.

 

I do not know the complete details, but I understand that the chemo was

continued and eventually destroyed her and Betsy passed away.
