Update March 8th 2009

Kevin came home on Tuesday, March 3rd 2009.

It's been a very busy week for Kevin and his family.

When Kevin came home from the hospital he moved very slow but was able to walk on his own. Laura drove him home in the mustang and he walked from the car and sat in a chair outside is house. He sat in the sun for about 10 min. and then went inside to rest.

 

Each day since then Kevin has been slowly doing better and better. He had a very small appetite the first few days home. Since being home, Kevin has been enjoying freshly juiced carrots and eating very small portions of baked potatoes, fresh organic fruits and veggies, drinking pure filtered water, and getting approximately 20 min of good sunshine twice each day. 

 

Kevin is on a very strict order to get plenty of rest that he has been happy to follow. Today is Sunday and he has had a host of guests and visitors throughout the week and weekend, but has been very good about napping or resting as needed. His color has returned and his energy level has slowly increased.

 

On Thursday Kevin returned to the hospital to have stitches put in part if the incision that had opened due to vomiting the first morning he was home.

 

Today he had an upset stomach most of the day, partially because he made a conscious effort to stand up straight (when standing). Laura (an RN) has reminded him that the scar tissue will form to the position he takes most, so standing "straight" has been painful, but important.

 

Kevin has adopted a strict diet from the "Gerson" clinic in Mexico. The Gerson clinic has had over 75 years of successfully treating cancer patients through proper nutrition, enzymes, detoxification, and diet... http://www.gerson.org/g_therapy/default.asp

 

In addition to the Gerson Therapy, Kevin will begin a protocol next week that treats cancer in another way, but does not interfere with the Gerson Therapy.  It is called “OCC” (Overnight Cancer Cure) combining DMSO and the MMS protocol, both proven to be very safe.

 

The “effectiveness” is only about 20%, meaning only about 20% of the cancer cells in the body are “affected” with each treatment. Therefore it is recommended that the treatment be given multiple times. You can read more on the OCC (Overnight Cure for Cancer) here…

Laetrile (found in apricot seeds) and the bark from the “Pauo ‘de Arco” tree are both substances known to have cancer fighting properties, both safe, and both are now being taken by Kevin.

 

We also found a tea that has been used in the treatment of cancer called “Essiac tea”. This is also a safe and effective product we will try…

The treatment called the “Budwig” protocol (mentioned in my first post) is also one we will be working with, however the cottage cheese/flaxseed oil mixture is what caused Kevin to vomit, therefore we will need to wait a few weeks before implementing this protocol.

 

In searching for the proper treatment we have realized there is no “one” silver bullet, although there ARE cures! We will (and are) doing everything we can to assist Kevin’s fight and overcome his cancer and to make the doctors’ prognosis false.

 

I (personally) feel confident that with prayer and proper treatment, God willing, that Kevin, like many others, will overcome this challenge and grow because of it.

 

Your prayers have been, and will continue to be, a vital part of Kevin’s recovery (so keep it up!) J

 

Thank you, on Kevin’s behalf, for all of the love and support each of you continue to send.

 

With love,

  1. Well, Dang the Luck!

    This news came as quite a shock. After I found out I had a hard time with it all and then I called and talked to Kevin. And wouldn't you know it, he lifted me up out of my sorrow and had me laughing in just a short time. That's Kevin for ya!

    This cancer stuff is a tough "row to hoe" but if anyone can beat this stuff, Kevin can. I know he can!

    Kevin, you and your family will be in my and my family's prayers constantly until we get past this.

    Take Care,
    Your Bud,Gary Ostergaard

    P.S. Thanks Mike, for all the work you have done in keeping us informed.
