04/28/2006: "Greetings from Mexico Clinic"

I am three days into my 21 day stay. It is a smaller, humble looking hospital with the typical uncomfortable single bed. However, the doctors and nurses are not only friendly, but professional and competent. The kichen makes wonderful meals that use fresh, organic and mostly vegetarian goods.

Currently, my treatment consists of IV bags full of megavitamins and minerals. For example, I am on 50 grams of vitamic C a day. Your stomach could never process that much. They are also giving me IV Laetrile. Google this word. I have been interested in its use since I read about it. I also get a daily shot in the largest muscle. Jeanette usually doesn't hesitate to tell the story of a Hepatitus vaccination I got in Austria on our way to Thailand... Let's just say I hate shots there.

Yesterday, I walked ito an office, the doctor pricked my finger, put my blood on a slide, placed it under a microscope and turned his computer screen towards me. At 15,000 magnification, he went over what my blood looked like and what it should look like. Friday morning, I undergo a Hyperthermia treatment. They will cycle my blood through a heating device raising its temperature to 107 and bring it back into my body. The whole process will last about 4 hours. I will be sedated much of the time so I can handle it. This should start to weaken the cancer cells. You can read more about it at the Hospital's web site- www.biocarehospital.com

There are wonderful stories here from everyone. So many people have been given new lives and second chances. I have met a few folks back for a yearly booster. Seven years ago, they were given 2 months to live. I am hearing lots of these types of stories from the shuttle driver, the nurses, the nutritionist and the doctors. Please know that I grow more hopeful and convinced each day. Healing using plants has been the standard for thousands of years. When did it become alternative?

Looks promising! You are a real inspiration. A few people I've talked with out there in IT land are afraid to read your blog; I tell them it's so inspiring that it will make them feel a part of the process. Thanks for having the courage to let us know what you are going through. I'm with Tim - you always find that new type of cocktail. I'm taking a "Martini Madness" cooking class in a few weeks :-)Is making a martini considered cooking?

Hey Rock,
Yes, good to receive word from you and to hear that all is bueno south of the boarder. Yea, you were always one for finding the best cocktail mixture, sounds like this one is even better than the margarita solutions that we all know does little for the health. Keep on keeping on, bro! We are all thinking of ya. Timo

I don't know you but I work for COE and was inspired by your story. I have known many people who have recovered from cancer using various means and the one thing they all had in common was their ability to picture it. I have taken a similar path away from diabetes and heart desease. I wish you strength and support and will help hold a vision of perfect health for you.

You are in my nightly prayers and morning prayers as well.
Blessings to you and your family.

Doug,
I think you should start thinking about what you are going to tell new patients that you meet when it is YOU who is coming back for your annual booster...Believe
