Patrick Swayze talks about his battle with pancreatic cancer

Patrick Swayze — in the first interview since his diagnosis with pancreatic cancer last year — discussed his battle with the disease yesterday with Barbara Walters. Swayze has Stage IV pancreatic cancer, the most advanced level, in which the cancer has spread to other parts of the body.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest forms in the U.S. Just 20 percent of those who are diagnosed are still alive a year later.

"You can bet that I'm going through hell," Swayze, 56, told ABC's Walters. "And I've only seen the beginning of it."

Swayze, who was diagnosed last March, has taken an experimental drug called vatalanib.

He didn't dance around his chances last night. In an echo of the famous "watch me now!" lyric from Dirty Dancing's "Do You Love Me?" he responded to the tough odds: "Watch me! You watch what I pull off."

Another public figure who was treated for pancreatic cancer, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, has been back in the health headlines this week. His 2004 treatment for an early stage of the cancer was reported successful. But Apple said this week that Jobs was suffering from a "hormone imbalance" that was starving his body of necessary nutrients. Experts told ScientificAmerican.com that the imbalance could be linked to problems with his pancreas.

    I feel for Patrick Swayze. He is a good and decent man. He is not a crazy Scientologist like the other half baked celebrities.

    The interview with Barbara Walters was so well done and totally moving. My heart and prayers are with Patrick and his wife. If anyone can beat this he can. Patrick has been my hero since forever (Ghost, Dirty Dancing) and if prayer can work miracles then I'll be a praying fool. I envy and admire a married couple that can make a marriage work and last the way they have. You both a truly blessed, loved and admired. God bless you always.

    Yeah the interview was good but I was truly mad at some of the stupid and senseless questions asked by Barbara. Come on! I love Patrick and his strength he and his wife both have as they go through this and they have all my prayers but let's use some common sense Barbara. Don't know if I'll watch any more of your interviews after that one. Praying you will beat this and all your fans I'm sure feel the same.

    Thank you, Patrick & Lisa, for sharing what you're going thru. The timing couldn't have been more helpful for me -- just that day I got word my sister's pancreatic cancer is inoperable. She is a strong lady with an incredible will to live, and Patrick's fight & spirit helped buoy me on a very bad day. Thank you, God bless you both, and keep kickin' it! I hope you live to see your forest to a complete rotation!

    I too am in the PRAY POOL for you Patrick & Lisa. I have loved you Patrick for many years. I remember the episode of Mash that you were on. And one of my favorite roles that you played was Orry Main in North & South. Not to mention I liked you in all the favorites and those that may not have been so favorites of everyone. Next of Kin, Three Wishes. And the list goes on and on!. I will continue to pray for you both. And I do believe that you are a good and decent person. I pray that God will lead you through this and strengthen not only you but your wife Lisa too. God Bless you both!!

    Your Southern Sister Penny

    i have never submitted any comments to any website and this is the first time. what a warrior this man is. he makes me think how rediculous some of my thoughts and problems are. at a time when america is facing it's greatest challenges he domonstrates to us all a super power and undefined determination unimaginable to mankind. in my eyes he will walks with christ for now and forever. most men would lay down and die, but he has rised to the occasion and fights with a greatest strength i have ever seen in any man. his philosphy of life, (the soul, the angels and soul mates) i can certainly relate to. and only strentghens my own beliefs. his life on earth will never end for he has shared with us all a sense of courage and strength, which i'm sure will never be forgotten. all of his films live in my mind and heart forever. he is a timeless saint in the book of endless souls. we call into sick to work because of a tummy ache and this man filmed 13 episodes of a tv seires uncountless hours 5 days a week with chemo on the side. damb man, if this guy doesn't stand right next to whoever we each may think god is, then something is wrong. i also commend A & E for giving him the opportunity to prove himself and for reminding us all what america is really about. Barbara Walters you are the best and no one could have done the interview better. Hope to see you and Patrick again in two years. I HOPE GODS SPEED AND GOD LOVE REST WITH US ALL.....Asbury Hopkins

    I lost my father to pancreatic cancer in 2005 it was the most horriffic thing to watch someone you love wither away to nothing. As you can see Mr. Swayze is already showing signs and Steve Jobs has also suffered tremendous weight loss from the disease. I hope these prominent people help bring awarenes to this disease and better treatment options are discovered. I pray for Mr. Swayze's health and for his family's strength.

    My thought and prayers are with the Swayze's. After watching the interview with Barbara Walters, I admire the strength and courage of you both. Patrick, you are very lucky to have somebody that obviously adores you by your side. Your determination to getting well is so familiar to me and have to tell you that I used the same methods of thinking as I fought 3 bouts of cancer myself.

    The desire to LIVE has to be stronger than the fear of dying, and you have that! With your lovely wife by your side and the determination you have to survive I PRAY that you too can BEAT it! Nobody puts "PATRICK" in the corner!

    I know that most people's favorite's are Dirty Dancing and Ghost. But, Patrick Swayze is known for more than those movies, at least to me. He is one of the Great Actor's and he has SO MUCH HEART! It's a nice thing to see when a person gives so much of that part of themselves in their acting. That is one reason you are a favorite of mine Patrick. When he was doing North & South it was about the same time that he lost his own father and the true emotion that he felt in that part. It is truly an amazing gift that you have Patrick. And don't let anyone ever say that it isn't a thing men shouldn't do. It make's you more of a man when you can show your emotions and still remain the man that you are.

    If there are people that haven't seen North & South I highly recommend it. Just not the 3rd book!

    Love you Always Patrick! God Bless!!!!!

    Penny (your Southern Sister)

    to each his own when it comes to religion. but not so sure scientolgy should be considered a religion in my opinion. i was in hollywood 30 years ago and had to go through a very long application process to even be considered to be a part of their church. i failed to meet there guidelines. so be it. sort of sad when religion starts out as a business.

    Patrick has been an idol of mine since he so graciously invited my granddaughter to visit him in Albuquerque, NM during a horse show in 1991. He had read an article about her fighting cancer. She was eleven years old at the time. Priscilla was so thrilled and upon meeting him she sat on his lap but would NOT kiss him, so he gave her a big kiss on the cheek.
    She said she would never wash that little area ever. Well, she did not win her fight, she passed away five years later in Charleston SC. But all these years her family has never forgot about the wonderful man Patrick. I can only pray he wins the battle he is fighting...
    Thank You Patrick
    for making this grandma's little angel happy for a short time..
    Sincerely Priscilla S.

    Swayze and many others who suffer cancer, MS, and a host of immune deficiency diseases can be helped with a miracle drug called low dose naltrexone. This drug is not new but has been around for over 25 years. The reason that most, including doctors know nothing about it is because the patent has long since expired, which means the drug companies will not get rich off of it. Secondly, the drug was originally used to treat drug addiction but now is being used "off-label" in much smaller amounts and it is helping those with over 50 immune deficient diseass.

    Low dose naltrexone or LDN for short works, is inexpensive, does not develop drug resistance, has virtually no side effects, and can be taken long term. This one tiny pill has helped to save the lives of so many. My pharmacist compounds 15,000 prescriptions for it each month. For those who would like to learn about this truly miraculous drug, go to lowdosenaltrexone.org, go to You Tube, read stories on Case Health of those who take it, and finally join the Yahoo Support Group for LDN. On this site you can ask if anyone knows a doctor in your town who will prescibe LDN.

    Those of us whose lives have been saved by this drug cannot say enough about it! You can view my You Tube video under Low Dose Naltrexone or Noreen Martin. I hope that you will take the time to learn about LDN, as it could save your life or the life of someon that you love!

    My hero, my father, died of pancreatic cancer in 2000. He was a tall, muscular attractive man whom should have been a movie star like Patrick Swayze. He is the 1/2 % statistic that lived more than seven years after diagnosis. The smaller he appeared to others, the bigger he grew in my eyes. Most people cannot fathom this excrutiating disease. My wish for Patrick is privacy, patience and polenta.

    I also watched the Barbara Walters interview. Don't watch the tube much but heard on the radio it was going to be on. Until then I didn't even know he was ill. Patrick, you are truly a man to look up to & I send this message in the hope that you know how all of us feel for you. You are truly blessed to have such a loving wife & I think I can say we are all praying for you.

    Since the interview all I've been watching are movies that you are in 'cuz I think you are so special. I pray each & every night for you. I sure hope God is listening! Again, I'll speak for others when saying you can't leave us so soon. I'll be waiting for your new series.

    God Bless
    Love you always as the others before me have said.

After watching I did something I haven't done for a long time. Started to pray. I think he is blessed to have such a loving wife & for many years I have thought he was a special man.

    I send this with all my love as those above have said & will keep praying for them.

    I look forward to the new show & not really being able to understand how difficult it must be to be going through chemo etc. & working so hard still. I think as I've said above he is a truly special man.

    My blessings & love

    Again, you fight this love & don't leave us anytime soon.

    Hello,

    I watch the broadcast about Patrick Swayze and am glad to see him fight this, and my prayers are with him. I know he can beat this, I heard him say that there is no cure for this and i know that some Doctors have linked cancer with fungus, they can't tell the difference between the 2. Patrick needs to talk to Oprah in private what she took to get rid of her cancer, Patrick will be surprised!! I will pray for him and keep his hopes up cause GOD knows the way.

    Thanks Dale

    The cure is GRAVIOLA.
    OUTRAGE!!
    Billion-dollar drug company
    hides astounding discovery
    of a natural cancer killer.
    10,000 times stronger than chemo--
    but without the side effects

    One pharmaceutical company actually made the "discovery of the century" -- a miracle breakthrough that could save you or someone you love from the ravages of cancer. But...

    They hid the secret for SEVEN FULL YEARS...with no plans to tell anyone about it ever! Why? Because the substance they found is completely natural... so they couldn't take out a patent on it. Until one brave researcher came forward to break the silence--and tell the world about this true cancer cure.

    If the human race put as much effort and zeal into defeating horrid diseases such as pancreatic cancer as they put into building war machines and toys for the rich, there would likely be a cure on the horizon for many of our worst plights. But no! It is the human way to watch loved ones die or suffer and for us to stand in awe of bombers and tanks, nuclear missiles and SWAT. Many of the letters herein talk about prayer for Mr. Swayze. I can tell from his demeanor that he likely would agree with me. I guess you who wish to pray for one man can do so, I hope (but do not pray) that somewhere along the way, humans can see that war, threats and weaponry are not going to make us happier, live longer or better. We need to spend our resources and turn our attention to the human condition and the environment thoughout the world and stop wasting time praying and not actually DOING. The US and other nations need to prioritize social needs well above the needs of the industrial and military complex that has made us all endangered, poorer and less likely to trust. We are sadder than at any time since the industrial revolution began our journey to this place wherein cancers have risen with the drop in environmental health and war and terrorism are on our minds. We can no longer "duck and cover" to avoid the filth that we have turned our only home into and we cannot avoid seeing our neighbors harbour resentment towards any of us who hold wealth above sharing with others less fortunate wherever on the planet they live. Mr Swayze points out what one man's challenge is and how one can deal with it by being a positive influence on those around him. If his world view were multiplied by the billions on this planet, nothing could stop us from making our earth and our society so much more wonderful than it is today.

    I believe that anybody that faces Pancreatic cancer and has a great attitude and fight the cancer how ever they can is a brave person. I know that a person like Patrick Swayze has know choice of the matter but to fight. I hope that they come up with a cure to kill this disease. My dad, brother in-law, uncle, and cousin died of cancer, so I know that this is very hard for Patrick and others. My prayers are with Patrick and all others, keep on having faith and believe. God is always their for us and if their is a cure out their he will make it happen. Patrick keep on smiling and that goes to all the other patients that share this with Patrick.

    Have you thought of trying the 'Dancing Mushroom' or Maitake?
    http://www.cancer.org/docroot/ETO/content/ETO_5_3X_Maitake_Mushroom.asp
    Grifola frondosa, referring to a mythical griffin, commonly known as Sheeps Head, Rams Head and Hen of the Woods or Maitake, is an edible polypore mushroom. It grows in clusters at the foot of trees, especially oak. The Japanese call it "maitake" (pronounced [maitake]), literally meaning "dancing mushroom", and can be commonly found in almost all supermarkets across the nation. Hen of the woods should not be confused with the similarly named edible bracket fungi, chicken of the woods (Laetiporus sulphureus), also known as "sulphur shelf".

    Dear Patrick, I just wanted to give you some information about a treatment for any kind of cancer, the phone number where you can find out about it is 01152-672-727-1972, in Novolato, Sinaloa, Mexico, the name of the doctor is Victor Sanchez Razo, I have two close relatives that have been cured by this treatment, I saw your CBS Special with Barbara Walters and tears came to my eyes, I was in the hospital for a Sciatica problem and you realize that there's nothing more important that your health, I was dissappointed at you saying that you still smoking but is your choice and your life, but when you said that you want to live and I thought about this treatment that my sister in law is on right at this moment and is getting better, her MRI showed that the cancer is in remision, so please try it, you don't have nothing to loose, money is not an issue for you, my love and prayers are with you and your wife and I hope you do something and at least give it a try, it works and with faith and courage you can make it, you are to young to die and a great person too, my best wishes for a long and healthy life, you can make it, God bless you, your wife deserve that you give it a try and you too,

    Canadian Folk/Rock Singer, Ronnie Hawkins was diagnosed over 5 years ago with Pancreatic Cancer. There was even a Farewell Benefit concert for him which was attended by former U.S. President Bill Clinton.
    Hawkins has however not died and whatever treatment he received has left him cancer free and he lives & breathes to this day.
    Patrick should contact him & find out who is oncologist was. Couldn't hurt

    Patrick Swayze was inspiring on the Barbara Walters special. I was moved by his honesty and strength to live life to its fullest against all odds. Last night when I said my prayers I prayed for Patrick and his family. I have never prayed for a "movie star" before but his challenge and character has touched my life. My father died of stage 4 lung cancer in October 2007 after 6 months of chemo and radiation. He lost his battle on earth but is in a much better place. I wish Patrick and Lisa a joyful time together. What a beautiful marriage and friendship they have! I pray that Patrick gets through this pnemonia set-back and is feeling better soon. Love, Debbie in Walnut Creek, CA

    Hi my name is Dennis R. Miller and I would like to let Patrick Swayze that I have good news for him. I heard about Shaklee products in 1974 and have gathered testimonies on what these fantastic products do to prevent harmful things like cancer to attack the cells in you body and degenerate the usfulness of the organ made up of these cells. It is sad he smokes and may have harmful effects from this misabuse of his fragile body. We have a center at 3701 Cahuenga West, Studio City, Unit # 4, CA 91604. If you decide to contact us for our advisers who have used these fantastic product made out of organic foods, grown in organic farms though out the many years the company has been around since 1918. We do not spend money advertising these fantastic products, because the products sell themselves when you put them in your body. I changed right away, when I heard about them in July of 1074, over hearing a conversation and I inquired about what they were talking about. I has changed my life dreamaticly. I felt I need to respond to his ordeal. I try to share my knowledge with others and pass my business cards to many, but not many respond as I did. What made me believe? I had a sick mother who died in1962 of TB. That is why I never smoked, and am more health conscious than most people. If you want to contact me or Mary Anton, please call us at: 818-752-2185, or e-mail her at maryanton@earthlink.net, or contact me at drmtruth@sbcglobal.net. I am confident that we can help you as we have help many in life, have a wonderful healthy life, and saving a lot of money using them and saving the planet. All our products are produced out of organicly grown foods they contract farms to produce their fantastic products, which are alive when you take them into your body. We keep the enzime in tact by putting cooling coils around the centifuges which spin off the celulose and water and press the remaning powder into the fantastic products they produce in Norman Oklahoma. Please let us know. My cell phone # is: 626-578-0182. Thanks for reading this and we are praying for you Patick

    As I told you in my ininical comment I have Shaklee products help me not medications prescribed by the doctors or cemotheropy, radiation, etc. doctors recommend. I believe in eating and taking products made by God not man. Carmen on TBN said if you want to be healthy eat what God made not what man made. I descovered it was true. I had acid reflux and the drugs the doctors gave me to take made it worse. I saw a program on koce, ch.50, which is on all the time, called Hope Formula For Ultimate health, by Mrs. Brenda Watson. She told the audience on her program that if you have symtoms of heatburn, gas, bloating, and acid reflux, you need enzimes, which can help you. I went to my Shaklee dealer in Studio City and inquired if we had this product and Mary Anton said we did made out of 5 plant sources organicly grown, and not sprayed or chemically fertilized. This enzime capsule solved my problem. Praise God I watched that program. You can buy Brenda's book on her Hope Fomula in book stores like borders, for about $20.00 or go on koce.com and inquire about her Hope package which cost about $300.00. Her program deals with us digesting our foods we eat and what food are we putting down our mouths that give us these many problems in our live. We are our worst enemies when it comes to eating and choosing what is good to eat. I am gad I listened and am 63 yrs young and in relative good health. Never married. I never met a girl that care about what health, as I do. People call me crazy. I like to help others and that is why I want to share my experience with those who will listen. Please consider what I have written and thanks for reading this. I am praying you all. Jesus loves you and that makes two of us. I God wanted Patrick to smoke He would have put a chimney on his head! He He He.

    I have seem Patrick in a movie I have on video called: Poin Break, with Keanu Reeves, a surf, robbery movie. I belive movies are not real. Photographed behind a camera, and editied to a finished film for people to falsely believe in. Life is not like what is in the movies. I believe Patrick is a product of what he as eaten and smoked in his life. I made some wrong choices, in life, but I made a good choice to use Shaklee products and not smoke or drink alcohol to much. Now for many years no alcohol. When I could not take my girlfriends home, that is when i stopped drinking with my friends. Many of my family and friends have died not listening to me. Know I put flowers on their graves. It is sad I have to talk to them in this way. I do not know why people do not what to hear about Shaklee products and especially God who created these products this company makes their fantastic products from. I head the other day from my Shaklee supervisor Mary Anton that Ophra uses our products. My dad died of Parkinsons disease. I found out about O-mega 3 oils that can prevent such bad results to the body and brain. I did not know about these essential fatty acids that we need in our bodies to insure a healthy brain, heath and body, and binds up the many toxins we let into our bodies though our skin and mouth. That Brenda Watson on her Hope Formula program gave the good news and I try and pass on the wisdom I heard I write down information she says on her program and send it to others, and I call my friends up on the phone and tell them to watch her program when it is on KOCE, ch 50. Have a wonderful Hopeful New Year 2009. Love in Christ Dennis R. Miller. 01-10-09, 9:51am, Pasadena, Ca. drmtruth@sbcglobal.net.

    I have watched everything Patrick's been in. The most amazing thing is that, in spite of being a celebrity, he and his wife have been married for, what was it, 32 years? That shows what a good man he is, and how much they have not let "celebritism" get to their marriage. Hang in there, Lisa, we're all rooting and praying for you and your husband. You're an amazing couple!

    Love to both of you.....

    Dr. Nieper of Germany died in 1998, but cured all sorts of cancer with extreme heat. Microprobe only heats into about five inches of the flesh, but the technique used by the invention of Dr. Nieper heats to 107 degrees and goes much deeper. No surgery involved. Mr. Partick Swayze should educated himself about this techique. It is the same used on President Ronald Reagan. Best Wishes. Prayers are with you Patrick.

    A Dr. Nieper of Germany proclaims that extreme heat concentrated on the affected area kills cancer cells. The temperature of 105 to 107 F induced with a special machine will kill the cancer cells in the specified area and other areas without affecting good cells. Dr. Nieper died in 1998, but helped President Ronald Reagan and other actors with breast cancer without the bad effects of chemo or hair loss. USA doctors use this procedure with microprobe, but it only gets into two inches of the matter. Dr. Nieper's technique goes deeper and there are about five places in Germany that have this technique available. Patrick, please educate yourself further into this technique. It is not new. Our prayers are with you.

    I just heard that Patrick was hospitalized for pnemonia. My prayers are with Patrick and Lisa. Patrick is my favorite actor and has been ever since I first saw Dirty Dancing (that is still my all time fav. movie). I am really praying that he can beat this. I also want to say how much I admire him and Lisa for their marriage. In the movie and TV business a 33 year marriage is unheard of. Way to go you two. I hope and pray you will be able to have many more years together.

    Pat, I hope that you read my post about cancer. You see I was diagnosed just under 3 years aqo with stage 4 lung cancer. We waited to to start our family when we(my wife and I were) were close to retirement so that we could spend time as a family and have a God related and guided family. But to our surprise 2 years after retirement from the Navy I was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in JUN 06 and given only 6 months to live at the time. I told those doctors to kiss my ass in 15 years and so far we have to wait 12 more years. Things are looking good right know and I hope that they are for you as well. I have been in the Hospital the last week at comunity East in Indianapolis. Just keep up your faith in God, do as your Doctors say and take it easy if you feel down. I have always followed you carrier sence North and South and like how you act. Don't let this get you down.

A lot of people are amazed but I truly believe that Patrick and I are being protected by our guardian angels. Please quit smoking Patrick as this may help in your battle.

    I admire Patrick Swayze, I have seen all his movies and just love him. He is an amazing man and actor. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his wife during this trying time. I thought the Barbara Walters special was very good. Patrick you are an inspiration to so many people. Your dignity and the way you live your life gives so many people so much HOPE! Lisa I can't imagine what you are going through. I have a husband serving in Iraq and sometimes I get down and it's nothing to what you are going through. To see the love you two have and the strength is great. I wish you two many more years of sharing your life and love together. Patrick if anyone can beat this it is you, you have the desire and fight to live and you can do it. You are continually in my thoughts and prayers. I look forward to seeing another interview with you and Barbara Walters in 2 years so keep the fight going.
    Love and best wishes to the both of you,
    God Bless

    I agree. I was horrified she asked Lisa if she has thought about life with out Patrick. What a stupid question. Of course she would have and i bet she threw that thought out of head seconds later. I must admit I dont think I would watch another interview anyway, they seem very negative, acting like there is no hope. There is always hope. I am an optomist and that interview brought me down. Patrick was defiant in his attitude and that is what his wife needs right now. He is showing her that he will fight with all his might to remian here.

    My cousin was diagnosed with pancreaticsystoblastoma in April of 2004 at the age of 12. Doctors removed a 5lb tumor wrapped in her intestines and the cancer had spread to a piece of her lung and also a piece of her stomach. Chemotheropy was hard for her and the entire family...but through it all she kept a smile on her face and always making jokes. She was the light at the end of the tunnel for us..there were a lot of hard times. Pancreatic cancer as well as any cancer is scary, but the doctors said they had 2 treat it aggresively due to the fact that u can't live without your pancreas and its such a rare cancer and not a lot of people survive from it. Hard times were ahead for her and our family..blood transfusions, cat scans, mri's, chemotheropy, pet scans but she was like a soldier and kept a brave face through it all and even made jokes..
    Well today my cousin is a beautiful 17 year old woman who is involved with ROTC in school and looking forward to graduating high school in June of this year..something we thought we wouldn't see 5 years ago! She's looking forward to going to college too. She is closely monitored still at Hasbro Childrens Hospital in Providence R.I and has her annual check ups but is fine. The only side affect from the chemo is a slight curve of the spine..and a little out of breath due to the lung that was affected and removed by the cancer. Doctors were concerned that she would never be able to have children due to the massive amounts of chemo but she is able to have kids in the future..DISTANT future..I hope that this is encouraging for anyone to read that is going through this or has a loved one who is going through the same or similar situation..even Patrick Swayze who we pray for every night before we go to bed. We know the struggles he's going through right now and hope that everything goes in his favor and that God will lay his loving hands on you and your wife Lisa in this trying time in their lives. May your love get you through this and your faith in your doctors.
    Keep your head up and keep fighting..know can do it!

    God Bless, Danielle Franklin and family. Newport R.I

    FOR PATRICK, HIS FAMILY AND ALL THE OTHERS.....GOD BLESS
    How to beat CANCER
    First....DO A COLON CLEANSE! open up your intestines to be able to more easily rid your body of the toxins....DO THIS NOW
    Do not DO what traditional Medicine says to do...
    Buy distilled water which has more oxygen in it...
    Remember that keeping your body oxygenated is a key..(exercize however you can)
    Eat an alkaline diet/and several small meals throughout the day k?
    Do not use any high fructose corn syrup...mercury which causes cancers has just been found in it and has been for years.... grrrrrrr!
    Do not use anything with an artificial sweetner that has aspartame, asulfame, or neotame/diet soda WILL kill you folks...
    Dont smoke or at least cut back-formaldahyde/bad
    God IS GOOD/pray....believe....hope....with undieing love as you love your children, as you love your partners.......(see what happens!:o) )
    Do not freely handle any chemicals or pesticides!
    Stay away from sugars which FEED cancer
    Drink Fulvic Mineral Solution 4 capfuls a day (miracle molecules!)
    Kick the caffene now, caffene causes you to use up more of your oxygen levels and WE NEED our bodies to be oxygenated and strong so it can fight!

    Chose an alternative option like....Chapparral, Cesium Chloride w/dmso or Graviola Tree ....if using (cesium chloride,) make sure you increase your potassium intake (levels always get lower) numbness and tingling in hands and feet is normal....k? The companies online usually will inform you on proper dosage..
    WHY THEY WORK BETTER....THEY DO NOT ATTACK YOUR HEALTHY CELLS AND ORGANS (ONLY CANCER!)...CHEMO AND RADIATION WILL! / UNTIL YOU HAVE NOTHING LEFT!
    Have faith in your new treatment because it IS going to be the best choice you can make to increase your success..
    Keep as WARM! as you can/ Germany doctors who treated Reagan and famous others, curing them amazingly create an internal fever in your body that cancer cannot survive in....
    Eat lots of Veggies (kelp, carrots, sweet potatos) strawberries too
    Drink at least 2 cups a day of 100 percent natural Concord Grape Juice!
    Zero Stress allowed! Eliminate as much stress as you can..
    Last resort option ...Go To Germany and....when you get back, tell others how you were cured by going to Germany..GET ANGRY..and DEMAND changes..
    Keep Praying
    Independant Cancer Research

    I prayed for Mrs. Judith S. tonight. She has survived pancreatic cancer for 7 years now. She would like to speak to Mr. Patrick Swayze. I told her that I would try to reach him on the world wide web. Mr. Swayze or Mrs. Swayze would you please e-mail Mrs. Judith. Her e-mail is Lc7777@peoplepc.com or if you would like prayer, you may call or e-mail me 832-643-5422, wingatemg@yahoo.com
    Blessings to you and your family. Hang on, don't let go. Gayal
