Date of Interview: January, 2004
Method of Interview: Internet emails
Initials of Patient: N.K. (information provided by her father)
Location of Residence: Brisbane Qld Australia
What Kind of Cancer Did You Have?
liver sarcoma (tumour in the right lobe of her liver)
How Far Had It Metastasisized Before Diagnosis?
She was given up by the top liver surgeon in Queensland
What Month and Year Was It First Diagnosed?
December, 2002
Age When Diagnosed?
11
What Technique Did The Doctor’s Use to Diagnose the Cancer?
It was X-rays and CT scans that first detected her tumour. But even after 3 biopsies, her condition was still not correctly diagnosed but the doctors suspected liver infection and she was given hydatid drugs!
Was There a Biopsy?
Yes, I (the father) believe the first three biopsies caused her tumour to leak and spread, thus turning it so aggresive!
Did You Have Surgery?
Yes, over 70% of her right lobe was removed but some remnants near the heart could not be excised.
Did You Take Chemotherapy and/or Radiation?
She started taking alternative medicine after her liver operation but the real results [of her alternative treatments] became more apparent after her third chemo treatment. By then, she was already onto stricter protocol as more information was sourced from more alternative medicine sites.
How Much Pressure Did the Doctors Put On You To Have Surgery, Chemotherapy, etc.?
He recommended a quick operation to alleviate the pain but mentioned that it was only palliative (i.e. designed to reduce pain and suffering until death).
What Was the Deciding Factor That Convinced You to Use Alternative Treatments?
As I (the father) could not accept his diagnosis, I sought help and researched extensively in the internet. Thanks to Mr Bill Henderson (www.getandstaywell.com), I was led into the wonderful world of alternative therapy and my prayers were answered. (the family is Buddhist)
Please Describe Your Treatment Plan: (response of father)
She is still on MGN-3 and Immutol, these being her main supplements.- Beta-1, 3D Glucan by Transfer Point should be used in lieu of the aforementioned.
- She has been drinking over 3 litres of water daily – I believe this contributed to her strong recovery after each chemo treatment. She also ate a lot of avocadoes during that time. She has a glass of orange juice freshly squeezed before breakfast. She also has a lemon squeezed into her water jug daily.
- She avoids all junk food such as fast food, coke, lollies, cakes, etc which she used to consume too much.
- We are all eating brown rice instead of white. Most of her dishes are lightly boiled. She does not take much meat and fish (Tasmanian salmon) is her main meat source, either steamed or baked.
- Every evening, I make her a glass of juice extracted from carrots x 4, beetroot x 1, green apples x 1, and some vegies such as celery or cucumber. She also eats healthy portions of seasonal fruits such as cherries, strawberries, banannas, pineapples, papayas, mangoes, etc.
- Occasionally, she has some wheat grass juice home grown organically.
- When she was first diagnosed, we gave her plenty of okra and long beans grown in our garden. This was switched to snow peas during winter. Now, we are back to okra and beans.
- Plenty of loving tender care. Our family has become much closer now. She has grown more confident and less worried.
- Yes, we do watch everything she eats and believe very firmly in alkaline diet instead of acidic.
- We practice Traditional Chinese Medicine whereby the whole body is being treated.
What Month/Year Were You Diagnosed Cancer Free?
September, 2003

Note:
This young girl went into remission, but some months after this interview her cancer returned and she later died. I do not know what protocol she used after her cancer returned.
