My Story...


It all started with a slight sensation to urinate... Cancer didn't start off painful for me, but more of an uncomfortable sensation of urgency and frequency of urination that progresses ever so slightly each day, getting up once at night, then twice, then progressing to three and four and maybe more... The sensation and urgency became more continuous and frequent with a tinge of blood here and there which led me on August 22nd, 2011 to my urologist... Right before my scheduled cysto, I started urinating pure blood... The cysto let to a TURBT and three  high grade cancerous tumors were removed and biopsied...  I then went through the 6 BCG treatment standard protocol finishing my last one on October 11th 2011... Since I was now diagnosed with cancer, I sought the top oncologist at the Cleveland Clinic for treatment... Simultaneously  I then went to see a holistic doctor, Dr. Todd Pesek who helped me rebuild my immune system naturally...   I found that all non organic foods especially red dyes and processed foods were irritating my bladder and went to an all organic diet and thought I was progressing well until December 16th when I went in for a cycto, they found and biopsied 4 new and larger high grade tumors... My oncologist told my wife that I was in a dire situation and what I had was textbook and I needed a Radical Cystectomy (RC) with NeoBladder (gold glove treatment) because the BCG's in his opinion were ineffective... I totally agree with him regarding the BCG but take exception to the RC with which they wanted to remove my bladder, prostate (no more intimacy), dozens of lymph nodes and four feet of small intestine to create an incontinent neo-bladder... Basically, I would walk in as a fifty one year old, be carried out as a ninety year old and the best I could hope to recover to an eighty year old... I since then prayed more and more and did more and more and more  research... I also tested my urine at every void for microscopic blood and in doing so, discovered my PH levels in my urine were extremely low (5.0) (normal is 7.365) which I found is caused primarily by STRESS (which we can all relate to) and high acid foods and or improper diet... Cancer thrives in a low PH, low oxygen and highly acidic environment...   I  juiced and ate a  high alkaline diet consisting of all organic and  primarily green vegetables, 3 times a day and ate a lot of raw vegetables, vegetable soup, broccoli, brussel sprouts and asparagus sautéed in organic EV olive oil and garlic with sea salt(with iodine) to taste  and drank about a gallon of water with baking soda every day, plus an array of herbs, multi-vitamins and minerals... It's was difficult and has been a big sacrifice, but the alternative was to loose my bladder, go through chemo and radiation  and then not being able to eat solid foods, or even normal ever again... The worst part is that they take the "everything plus the kitchen sink" approach and take out the prostate also (ED), lymph nodes and four feet of my intestine to create a new incontinent bladder and not to mention all the potential infections and complications ect. ect. ect... My BCG treatments were ineffective and my cancer came back because I was under extreme STRESS and very upset continually which caused the acidic environment in my body for the cancer to thrive in... On the other hand, cancer cannot live in an alkaline and high oxygen environment and starts to die off which it did...The key is keeping the body 100% alkaline 24/7 until the cancer is gone...
It's over four and a half years and I still have no urgency, no frequency, no burning, no sensations, no blood and never getting up at night at all...
I thank God and keep praying for his continued wisdom, guidance and strength...
