My mother has started her regimen of raw carrot juice over a month ago. I can say that it is very effective as a immune booster because she rarely gets sick now. But we are realistic that such diets have its limitations.
I am also not too confident with my mothers' oncologist. We have already changed doctors twice because the first doctor did not know what protocol he could start my mother with. We had three rounds of chemotherapy with him and my mother's tumors doubled in size.
So we changed doctors. The second doctor reviewed my mothers' case and gave me a list of treatments that we could choose from, each one she explained was as effective as the other.
So we had six rounds of treatment with her. After six months, my mothers' tumors are now four times bigger than they were in December of 2007 when she was first diagnosed with hepatocellular cancer. The doctor informed us that we chose the wrong protocol that's why the chemotherapy was not working. She insisted that if we chose the one that costs P1M per session, the tumor would not be as active.
Looking back, I am aghast at the way this doctor implied that it was OUR fault because we could not afford the treatment. My mother had to ask for charity from PCSO in order to get those six months of treatment paid for. We are not as rich as she thinks we are, we had to scrape all our savings just to make it from one month to the next in terms of my mothers' medical treatments in one of the most expensive hospitals here in the Philippines.
We are now trying alternative treatments for her cancer, from her own choice. She knows all the money spent on her medication failed and she does not want us to spend more on treatments that will not work. I pity those who are very, very poor and will encounter doctors such as the ones that we have encountered. So if this natural diet works, I will teach the same regimen to cancer patients who will listen and willing to try it out.
