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...

Urine test results guide

Color	Normal:	Pale to dark yellow
	Abnormal:	Many foods and medicines can affect the color of the urine. Urine with no color may be caused by long-term kidney disease or uncontrolled diabetes. Dark yellow urine can be caused by dehydration. Red urine can be caused by blood in the urine.
Clarity	Normal:	Clear
	Abnormal:	Cloudy urine can be caused by pus (white blood cells), blood (red blood cells), sperm, bacteria, yeast, crystals, mucus, or a parasite infection, such as trichomoniasis.
Odor	Normal:	Slightly "nutty" odor
	Abnormal:	Some foods (such as asparagus), vitamins, and antibiotics (such as penicillin) can cause urine to have a different odor. A sweet, fruity odor may be caused by uncontrolled diabetes. A urinary tract infection (UTI) can cause a bad odor. Urine that smells like maple syrup can mean maple syrup urine disease, when the body cannot break down certain amino acids.
Specific gravity	Normal:	1.005-1.030
	Abnormal:	A very high specific gravity means very concentrated urine, which may be caused by not drinking enough fluid, loss of too much fluid (excessive vomiting, sweating, or diarrhea), or substances (such as sugar or protein) in the urine. Very low specific gravity means dilute urine, which may be caused by drinking too much fluid, severe kidney disease, or the use of diuretics.
pH	Normal:	4.6-8.0
	Abnormal:	Some foods (such as citrus fruit and dairy products) and medicines (such as antacids) can affect urine pH. A high (alkaline) pH can be caused by severe vomiting, a kidney disease, some urinary tract infections, and asthma. A low (acidic) pH may be caused by severe lung disease (emphysema), uncontrolled diabetes, aspirinoverdose, severe diarrhea, dehydration, starvation, drinking too much alcohol, or drinking antifreeze (ethylene glycol).
Protein	Normal:	None
	Abnormal:	Protein in the urine may mean kidney damage, an infection, cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes,systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), orglomerulonephritis is present. Protein in the urine may also mean that heart failure, leukemia, poison (lead or mercury poisoning), or preeclampsia (if you are pregnant) is present.
Glucose	Normal:	None
	Abnormal:	Intravenous (IV) fluids can cause glucose to be in the urine. Too much glucose in the urine may be caused by uncontrolled diabetes, an adrenal glandproblem, liver damage, brain injury, certain types of poisoning, and some types of kidney diseases. Healthy pregnant women can have glucose in their urine, which is normal during pregnancy.
Ketones	Normal:	None
	Abnormal:	Ketones in the urine can mean uncontrolled diabetes, a very low-carbohydrate diet, starvation or eating disorders (such as anorexia nervosa orbulimia), alcoholism, or poisoning from drinking rubbing alcohol (isopropanol). Ketones are often found in the urine when a person does not eat (fasts) for 18 hours or longer. This may occur when a person is sick and cannot eat or vomits for several days. Low levels of ketones are sometimes found in the urine of healthy pregnant women.
Microscopic analysis	Normal:	Very few or no red or white blood cells or casts are seen. No bacteria, yeast cells, parasites, or squamous cells are present. A few crystals are normally seen.
	Abnormal:	Red blood cells in the urine may be caused by kidney or bladder injury, kidney stones, a urinary tract infection (UTI), inflammation of the kidneys (glomerulonephritis), a kidney or bladder tumor, or systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). White blood cells (pus) in the urine may be caused by a urinary tract infection, bladder tumor, inflammation of the kidneys, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), or inflammation in the vagina or under the foreskin of the penis. Depending on the type, casts can mean inflammation or damage to the tiny tubes in the kidneys, poor blood supply to the kidneys, metal poisoning (such as lead or mercury), heart failure, or a bacterial infection. Large amounts of crystals, or certain types of crystals, can mean kidney stones, damaged kidneys, or problems with metabolism. Some medicines and some types of urinary tract infections can also increase the number of crystals in urine. Bacteria in the urine mean a urinary tract infection (UTI). Yeast cells or parasites (such as the parasite that causes trichomoniasis) can mean an infection of the urinary tract. The presence of squamous cells may mean that the sample is not as pure as it needs to be. These cells do not mean there is a medical problem, but your doctor may ask that you give another urine sample.
