Re: Recently diagnosed with Stage 4 glioblastoma

Stage 4 glioma is not a diagnosis I would wish on an enemy.

I have a very special, special relationship with glioma's.

I was a tech and training on a neuro floor, "Barrrows" and saw gliomas, astrocytomas, neuroblastoma, and kitchen sinkblastoma.

When a friend and work associate was diagnosed, vitamin A was the new thing.

In fact, I was private duty nurse for astrocytoma patient who had done the traditional brain surgery, chemo, radiation.

Of course it seemed to make him worse.

My friend read/heard about ascorbate infusions and they were endorsed by Linus Pauling.

Well, I loved Linus Pauling, I was microbiology major and he basically personally mapped out 99.9% of DNA molecule.

Pauing just happened to be speaking at Phoenix Hilton and we got to go listen to him, just one week after Rick was diagnosed, (talk about Guardian Angel. You would be surprised. He was almost angry during parts of his presentation.

(I would be too if I constructed 99% of DNA and the other guy who filled in the 1% got Nobel Prize!)

Pauing still won two nobel prizes!

He explained right down to molecular level how and why it works ascorbate infusions that is.

My friend was sold on infusions, actually he was more of work aquaitance at first.

Problem is we didn't have compassionate exemption legally back then. No one would perform the infusions

Just so happen a second work acquaintance, (at financial services) was a practicing osteopath. He agreed to try the Pauling protocols.

Five days into intravenous ascorbate Rick spiked an incredible fever which lasted 48 hours. (Tumor Lysis Syndrome)

In the end he completed 14 days infusions and then became a patient on the sixth floor, as that's where his doctors told him to go,Barrows, just where I was employed.

His CAT scan prior to surgery caught me off guard. Must have caught the suited doctors off guard.

Before a tangerine sized tumor. After ascorbates,...peanut sized, calcified cyst.

Better yet, seizure went away, double vision went away, attention span issues resolved, Migraine went away and Rick went back to work and you would have never known he had glioma.

To this day,...I still can't believe it.

Oh,...the doctor who performed the infusions and saved his life, he was censured by governing board! For doing what nobody on the planet earth could have done except for Dr. Cameron / Pauling

For myself, I made the osteopath my family doctor and personal doctor, he still enjoys a successful yet hectic practice.

Today, infusions are done in every state by licensed M.D.'s.

They all don't use the correct and latest protocols but you can get them done and they are better the Ricks.

Ascorbates are absorbed directly into the brain,(Pauling/Cameron)

Jeeeees! Today dosages are tirtrated to 100,000mg and Rick only got 30,000mg.

Today they augment with caratenoids, metalic salts, (selenium, potassium, zinc, cesium) also b-12 injections for cobaltascorbate which becomes even more effective form of ascorbate.

So, if someone were to ask me as a nurse, advocate, friend, I would have to go with what I've seen work.)

DMSO, another highly absorbed substance can be used along with all protocols traditional and alternative.

Cancertutor.com has great information on DMSO

Krysalis.net has biochemist that explains it's relationship to cancer. DMSO.


All I can say is at stage 4, surgery can only make thing worse, will not be curative, huge risks low reward.

You do need to act now!... at least if you were my family member, there really is not a whole lot of time for ponderance, consideration, research, consultation.
Knowing what I know. What I've seen, you can figure out what my recommendations would be, surgery not!

Last but not least if you are going traditional. GO to Brain Tumor centers at either Duke or M.D. Anderson.
I can try to get you free air travel to either one of those medical facilities. Chemo with Temador is the only chemo I would recommend.

But don't go there without oxygen donors, metalic salts in you blood stream. Ohhh, yeh,....buffered ascorbates.

Very best of luck,

You really can do this!
