Dear Arthur,

With the limited data you presented of your Amish friend, I venture to give my point of view.

Yes, her natural defenses are being used at its maximum. There is now a balanced antibody reaction. She must be a HER2 positive in which there is an over aggressive genes. I presuppose she is with axillary lymph node positive metastasis but on check by auto-immune defenses. She is doing fine with what she is doing.

But what about the smell that pervades with the sloughing necrotic breast cancer tissue? The husband does not have to suffer as the patient’s sense of smell has lent it not to be self detected. Others will smell it though (her congregation).

So the tumor burden should at least be lessened by total mastectomy and skin graft as outpatient surgery. She will continue to be vegan.

Untreated breast cancer as she has, has a 4% longevity at 5 years. With 0% at 10 years, but while treated she may have 96% at 5 years survival up to 10 years if God willing, with Aromatase inhibitors treatment and with vegan diet.

Love,
Uncle Pros

It is really amazing what happened to her breast. The husband showed us the alcohol-preserved mass that dropped-off inside a gallon bottle. When we first saw her a few weeks ago, the breast was already on the mend. The 8-10 cm necrotic tissue partially covering a raw area was about to peel off. Surprisingly, there was no smell.

I agree with your point of view that her natural defenses are being used at its maximum and this is enhanced by the use of available resources from their garden and a revised NEWSTART program (adopted to Amish).

Going back to the breast, it really looked good. The surrounding tissue is healing well. I was also surprised I did not feel any lymphadenopathy. Her main complaint previously was the excrutiating and severe pain. Esther added "wild" lettuce, dandelion and wheat greens in her carrot juice. This seemed to help. I noticed then that the cause of pain was some yellowish fluid (pus?) under the necrotic tissue. After incorporating the charcoal poultice, the process of sloughing off was hastened resulting to the sudden relief. After explaining to her that stress and lack of sleep lowers her immune system, it was alright to take oral pain medications which she did a few times.

When we first saw her, she was also bed-confined unable to move around well. Her face was pale ( low Hgb and Hct) and sunken eyes, but after Esther's encouragement and help (juicing, sunlight, exercise, etc.), she became stronger and is moving around more.

Thank you Uncle for your input! How are you doing yourself? You are always in our thoughts. Your article (Cyberlink) about Breast Cancer is great!

Love,
Arthur
