Kevin Moe

Dear Family and Loved ones of Kevin Moe,

This is my brief attempt to explain Kevin’s recent health condition. Please remember that this is only from my view (being here) and may not be exactly accurate or complete. Forgive me if it’s not…

On the day of the Super bowl, 2009, Kevin complained of stomach pains and indigestion, not wanting to eat the jalapeno poppers that Joni made because he was afraid his stomach would not handle it (although he had a few anyway!). Over the next couple of weeks it did not get any better, but he did not complain much or go to see a doctor, thinking that it was a stomach flu that would go away.

On Friday, February 20th, 2009, the cramping reached a point of pain that was keeping Kevin from sleeping that night (he had also barely slept the night before). He decided he had had enough, and on Saturday night, February 21, 2009, Kevin drove himself to the local urgent care here in St. George Utah for answers and relief.

Based on his symptoms, the urgent care first thought that his gallbladder or a gallstone was causing his pain. They told him to come back in a few hours, and after several tests, x-ray, and CT Scan, they had determined that it was a blockage in his intestine, which the doctor told Kevin that this meant colon cancer. The doctor told Kevin that they could not do a colonoscopy (or anything else for him) until Monday, so to go home until then.

Sunday, February 22, 2009 - Kevin did not sleep at all Saturday night, and the pain continued to worsen. Kevin had a full night and day of vomiting and diarrhea, and intense cramping, to the point that he laid next to the toilet because he was too exhausted to go back and forth anymore.

Laura came home Sunday afternoon (around 5:30) from working in California. Kevin’s pain was getting to the point that he could hardly breathe, so Laura took him into the emergency room that night and had him admitted.

Kevin was put on a muscle relaxant and a pain medication that helped him get sleep (after 3 nights of NOT sleeping and in constant pain, he was completely exhausted).

Monday, February 23 Kevin had the colonoscopy and it was determined that the blockage in his intestine was a tumor. The doctors scheduled Kevin for surgery the next day (Tuesday 23rd). His pain continued to worsen after the colonoscopy. (It was later determined that he had a ruptured colon caused by the air that is forced into the intestine -for the colonoscopy- that was trapped in his upper intestine past the blockage).

Tuesday, February 24, 2009 – Kevin continued to have pain that seemed to worsen throughout the day. He commented that he couldn’t wait to get in there and have the operation to relieve the pressure. His stomach was now very bloated and seemed to continue bloating all day (remember the air that was trapped?). At around 1:30 in the afternoon they came in and took Kevin for surgery.

Laura had been next to Kevin’s side from the time she returned from California. She waited in the surgery waiting room throughout the surgery. After approximately 3-1/2 hrs the surgeon came out and called Laura in for the results.

The surgeon told Laura that the surgery went very well. He then proceeded to explain that the blockage was more than one tumor. He had found multiple cancerous tumors in his colon, kidney and liver. The surgeon said he removed a section of the large intestine. He also removed the appendix and part of the liver, and scraped the kidney.

The surgeon said that the cancer had spread and that they did the best they could to remove as much of it as they could. He said he had brought in another surgeon to help him because Kevin’s intestine had burst (remember the air trapped?) and they spent quite a bit of time cleaning the organs from the inside areas so as to evade any infection.

The surgeon also said that he recommended chemotherapy and radiation, and that if those treatments did a good job in slowing the cancer’s growth, that in his estimation Kevin could have up to 1 ½ years of life. The surgeon told Laura not to tell Kevin because it would be easier on her if he (the surgeon) told him.

Devastated, Laura went back to Kevin’s room with the news, not sure what to think, what to do, or how to tell him. As she approached the room she saw that Kevin was already back. She went into the room and took Kevin’s hand and smiled as Kevin slowly opened his eyes. Kevin spoke in a very weak, slow, quiet whisper; “how did it go? Have they said anything yet?” Laura told him that the surgery went well, but that the cancer had spread and he would need to undergo chemotherapy and radiation.

The next week has been a rollercoaster ride for Laura and Kevin and the kids of emotion uncertainty. Kevin came home today and is looking great. He is looking forward to feeling healthy again. Kevin has started on carrot juice which has every nutrient that mother’s milk has (very good!).

Kevin has started eating but is still in a fragile state. Kevin’s goal is to get “healthy” as soon as possible so that his body can undergo treatment and begin killing off the cancer through healthy and nutrient rich treatment.

I have discovered that there are over 300 "alternative" treatments and cures for cancer. It is very clear to me is that with cancer the orthodox way is to treat "symptoms", they DO NOT HEAL PEOPLE!

This was confirmed by the hospital that Kevin was at when they told him they cannot cure him; they can only make him comfortable. Please do not make the mistake of thinking that chemo and radiation will do any more than slow down the reproduction of cancer cells. This is an obvious additional measure, but not a cure. However, after researching (as much as possible in the short time we have had) I now feel extremely reassured that there ARE very real options. Having said that, the following "alternative" cure (not just treatment) I feel may be the best one to implement with Kevin. This is a powerful combination of 5 different cures or aids to curing cancer, one of which is the Budwig Protocall. (Dr. Budwig has been nominated 7 times for the Nobel Peace Prize. http://www.lightsv.org/bud1.htm)

The focus of these 5 treatments is on killing the cancerous cells, along with "healing" the non-cancerous ones…

Please take some time to review and study the pros and cons of this treatment so that we can all have an informed and active part. Please remember to have a prayer in your heart as you study to be guided to the truth and to the correct conclusions. The final decision of treatment will be Kevin's to make.

May all of our prayers of love be heard and answered.

With love,
Mike Flaker
