Today Ken began his first intravenous treatment with Poly-MVA. We are trusting God for a miracle in his body. Medical doctors have told us that there is nothing more they can do for him. Surgery, more chemo and radiation are not recommended.
On Wednesday we had a consultation with the doctor whose clinic administers the Poly-MVA. Jeff was with us and he understood how the antioxidants and minerals work to cause the cancer cells to destroy themselves much better than we did. Palladium Lipoic Acid is one of the active ingredients in the Poly-MVA. After talking to Dr. Rothwell, we couldn't wait for Ken to begin his treatments. He began taking oral Poly-MVA along with several other recommended vitamins and minerals on Wednesday afternoon. He will take the Poly intravenously on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for a total of 8 weeks. Ken made the trip to Edmond very well. It is about a 2-1/2 to 3 hour drive to Edmond from home (one-way). We stayed in OKC two nights and returned home this afternoon. Ken is a little tired, but is doing very well. The ulcers have healed in the area of the radiation burns on his buttocks. I have been continuing the wound care of putting silvadene cream on them.
This excerpt was taken from the Poly-MVA website www.poly-mva-com :
"Palladium Lipoic Acid exists as a liquid crystal, which makes it a powerful anti-oxidant agent, which helps the body generate energy. Hence Poly-MVA that is a variant of Palladium Lipoic Acid (LAPd) acts as an anti-oxidant supplement and helps us lead a life free from many diseases. In the Palladium Lipoic Acid formulation Palladium serves as a shipping mechanism to facilitate the uptake of Lipoic acid. Palladium Lipoic Acid (LAPd) complex serves as a powerful treatment to any kind of cancer. Lot of research has been done on the subject and results prove that LAPd complex when taken as a nutritional supplement like Poly-MVA acts as a cancer deterrent. The results achieved from the tests conducted on cancer patients are heartening. Out of the people who opted for a dual treatment of chemotherapy and palladium Lipoic Acid (LAPd) the response rate was as high as 77%. Researchers have concluded that Palladium Lipoic Acid (LAPd) is a safe, non-toxic nutritional supplement, which effectively helps increase the life span of a cancer patient without compromising on the quality of life he leads."
There is a lot more to read on the poly-mva website if you are interested in reading more about it.
In case you did not see my last email update, I am posting it here:
Ken came home yesterday. It has been a very busy and long week. The doctors say there is nothing more they can do for Ken as far as the cancer goes. They do not recommend anymore chemo or radiation. The tumor that was 13X9 cm is now 7x7x7 cm. That is good news. They say the tumors in his lungs are multiplying and growing. They had him on liquid antibiotics for the 4 days he was in the hospital to get rid of the staff infection and urinary tract infection. They ran a new CT-Scan and an echocardiogram. The ejection fraction on his heart has improved a little. Last time it was 20% and now it is 20-25%.
I have checked Ken out of the nursing home and brought him home permanently. Home health will be coming in along with physical therapy starting Friday. Ken needs to be able to walk again as he is pretty much wheel-chair bound from being in bed so long. The sores in the area of the radiation burn are beginning to heal. We are applying silvadene creme twice daily when dressing the wounds. This is helping him a great deal.
Ken is in good spirits and is so glad to be home. Today we have a consultation with a doctor in Edmond to talk about starting him on nutritional therapy with the Poly-MVA which is anti-oxidants taken intravenously. This will build up his immune system and will fight and kill the cancer cells. Please pray that we make the correct decisions concerning this treatment. I know for sure that traditional medicine is not going to cure him, but I know God is able and we are still believing for a miracle. The Word of God says that He "heals all diseases"!!
Jeffrey is with us and will help me with Ken. Jeff is 17 years old now and we're so glad he will be spending some time with us. Tonight we will be staying at Karen's house in OKC (Jeff's Mom) because I have an eye doctor's appointment tomorrow morning at Dean McGee Eye Institute. Just a checkup. Karen is back in Laguna Beach for a three-month contract with the traveling nurse agency where she is now employed.
Our children and grandchild have been such a blessing to us and we appreciate them so much. All of you who have been praying for Ken and I.....we could never express our gratitude enough. I know we couldn't have traveled this journey in our lives without God, family, wonderful friends and pastors, and many prayers. Thank you so much.
Love,
Ken & Mary
