Q. Do you have a maintenance protocol afterward? A. Lots of vitamins and minerals, Chinese herbs, enzymes (I use Wobenzyme plus 3,000 mg of pancreatin daily, and 500 mg taurine - I added the pancreatin & taurine on my own). I administer twice weekly subcutaneous injections of thymus extract, and see my local GP for 3 other injections once weekly. I know them by their German brand names, Ney Tumorin, Carcinoma mammae-Injeel forte (a homeopathic breast cancer vaccination, basically), and Medivitan N (contains, among other things, folic acid). I also get a B-12 injection every 2 weeks. < < Q. Is this a protocol devised by Dr. D? What is the purpose of the B12? What is his step by step strategy? For example, does he (1) try to remove the tumor load with galvanic and hyperthermia then (2) concentrate on immune stimulation via thymus, herbs and (3) detoxing? A. Yes, this is much of the list he gave me to take to the pharmacy when I left the Klinik. I was getting all of these things before and during treatment as well, so it isn't just a follow-up maintenance protocol. In fact, he tends to describe the program in the opposite order: detox, immunotherapy, and then treatment. The immune system needs plenty of stimulation and power to recognize and fight invaders such as cancer cells. Cancer patients tend to need detoxing and liver support too. B12 gives you energy! Before meeting Prof. Douwes, I used to get a B12 injection from my doctor once a month (my request), when I thought of it. I was very faithful about getting one the day before every concert tour. I don't know if other Klinik patients get B12, but I mentioned to Prof. Douwes that I get these injections and he was very enthusiastic and told me to get them every 2 weeks rather than only once a month. I tend to be very anemic, and this can sap my strength. I find if I am tired and low-energy, I can fall prey to worry, tension, and negative feelings, in addition to having lowered immune response. I take things like CoQ10 (300 mg daily), kelp, spirulina, and either eat lots of fresh garlic or if on tour, take aged Kyolic caps. All of these give me a tremendous energy boost and bolster my immune system too. I take them in high doses, and not at night - they'll keep me awake.
