Dear Friends, Last Friday, I had a new sonogram which showed that my malignant tumor had returned to normal, clean as a whistle. My doctor, Prof. Friedrich Douwes, did a new fine needle biopsy, whose results came in today. As I expected, I'm cancer-free. ****************************** I've been told that these letters are passed on to a great many people, posted on various websites, and especially circulated among cancer patients, and a number of you have asked me to summarize my story once more, and include contact info for the hospital. So okay, here goes... A few weeks ago I arrived in Bad Aibling with a 3.5 cm malignant carcinoma in my left breast, and 3 smaller satellite tumors. 2 of these have vanished, the 3rd is clear. The large primary tumor is clear. My "aggressive" treatments have included 3 ECTs (Electro Cancer Therapy, aka galvanotherapy, or direct electrocutions to the tumors), 9 local hyperthermia treatments (mild localized heat generated by short wave - like a barely noticeable heat lamp). NO surgery, NO chemotherapy, NO radiation, nothing which can damage the body or compromise the health. Additional treatments included immunotherapy(megavitamin infusions, thymus injections, Chinese herbs) and physiotherapy (massage, foot reflexology, oxygen inhalation, etc.) - and every day I have had BodyTalk or Reiki sessions to address the emotional causes of the cancer. Dr. Douwes is the director of the hospital and one of the world's leading specialists in the treatment of cancer. He is a brilliant and intuitive healer, whose positive attitude and dedication to his patients inspire all of us with hope. St. George Hospital (Klinik St. Georg, in German) is not an "alternative" or naturopathic clinic, but a normal internal medicine hospital which practices "complementary medicine," combining the best of both medical worlds - refining conventional treatments with the addition of biological therapies, and setting new standards for a comprehensive holistic approach to the treatment of cancer. Miracles seem to be a normal occurrence here at St. George Hospital. Cures are always possible. At the very least, I see tumors shrinking and the disease kept under control. At best, I've seen patients who've been given only a few weeks or months to live, told by their doctors that their cases are utterly hopeless, go home completely cancer-free or very much improved. The only cases I have observed here which have gone downhill have been patients who were so damaged by conventional high-dose systemic chemotherapy and surgeries that they arrived here in very bad shape, having turned to complementary medicine far too late in the game. Surgeries here are extremely rare - as minor as possible and done only when absolutely necessary. Chemotherapy is used, but in low doses and in combination with treatments which maximize its destructive effects on cancer cells while minimizing side effects. The aim of all treatments here is to destroy cancer cells without damaging healthy tissue, to ensure the patient the best possible quality of life. I am so grateful to have found this healing place and such a wonderful physician. German cancer centers such as St. George Hospital do amazing things, and from all reports I've heard from patients who have also tried other clinics, both in Germany and Denmark, this is by far the best one. ****************************************************** I should add that if any of you decide to come to Bad Aibling (just outside Munich) for treatment, you are welcome to contact me by email. I will be glad to share any information which might help you get settled in more efficiently. Ann's NOTE: Contact LM through the Project.
