Guest guest Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Only 16 successes? And how many members do they have? About 6600 (if it is the flaxseedoil2 group) compared to our 1100, and over half of ours have joined in the last 6 months or so. What exactly do they consider a success story? Cancer completely gone, cancer growth halted, cancer shrinking, what? I am sure you can go back over our posts of this past year and find at least 16 successful stories of people who have won or appear to be winning their battle. What about failures? I do not know of a single failure in this group who came here with at least two or more months of estimated time remaining and did not have an immune system and major organs - especially the liver - damaged beyond repair. I know of only three people who are not still alive even including those with less than two months and those who had been damaged severely by chemo and/or radiation - and one of those did the protocol for less than two months (actually just mainly took oleander and tried to eat healthily) and then stopped because his oncologist said there was no way we could help and he could do a nerve block so the guy could live out his last couple of months with less pain. He proceeded to live over a year past the doctor's prognosis and his daughter is convinced it was due to the small period of time he took oleander. Now I realize that there may be some who try the protocol, at least partially, and do not make it or have success, just as I realize that the large majority of our members do not choose to be active in the discussions - but one has to wonder why they don't post about their problems and why there are very few bouncing emails from all the members in the group (which indicates that their email account is no longer active). I wonder how many oleander protocol people have gone to Budwig versus how many Budwig protocol people have come here? That would probably be very close to zero. If I had only 16 successes I would not be crowing about it - I would be desperately looking for other things to help my group members have better success! Which is exactly what I do when we have someone who is struggling in their battle. My own definition of success, btw, is to be completely cancer free in terms of cancer markers and malignancies and to remain that way for a long and healthy life. Budwig is great, just like I said. It is a good bullet but not a magic one. Why go into a fight with only one bullet in your gun? Or, from a standpoint of a forum host and moderator, why not give all of my members all the best bullets I can to help them win? oleander soup , "jrrjim" <jim.mcelroy10 wrote:>> I've had the same problems.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I hope this doesn't break a forum rule about making short and trivial posts, but I have to say that yours is an absolutely great response. Thanks Tony! You give me (and I'm sure a lot of other people) a LOT of hope! oleander soup , " Tony " wrote: > > > Only 16 successes? And how many members do they have?
