Re-Occuring BC

HI PAT,

THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLY. I AM NOT TAKING AN BCG TREATMENTS AND NEVER ANY CHEMO. THE DOCTOR WANTED TO START THE BCG TREATMENTS IN JUNE WHEN I HAD MY 4TH RE-OCCURANCE IN JUNE AND I ASKED TO WAIT TILL SEPTEMBER (PRAYING) AND THEN IF (AND THEY WILL NOT) I WILL START BCG.

I DO NOT TAKE ANY MEDICATIONS FROM THE DOCTOR EXCEPT 30 MG OF BLOOD PRESSURE.

THIS IS A GREAT SITE AND I THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR ANSWERS IN HELPING WITH MY QUESTIONS.

Hi Linda......just didn't want you to overdo it with the capsule variety....fresh food variety will never hurt you.
Just for general knowledge...Too much Vitamin C can interfere with the body's ability to absorb copper....too much phosphorus inhibits absorption of calcium....Vitamins A D & K are not eliminated quickly by the body and can easily reach toxic levels. (K by the way is a clotting agent...its one you have to watch if you're on warfarin)....But it doesn't sound like you're doing mega doses of anything. If you are doing any kind of treatments like BCG or Chemo check with your doctor about any supplements.
I sure wish the C was helping my eyes!!!...the print keeps getting smaller and smaller!! Pat

Hello Linda,

I do have a thought, and please don't take it the wrong way.

When you type in ALL CAPS LIKE THIS it is not only difficult to read, but looks like shouting on the screen. Studies have shown that readability is optimized when words are printed in upper and lower case. That's why you'll never see a book or magazine THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS.

There is an article about readability here:
planetoftheweb.com/components/promos.php?id=182&channel=Graphics

Two of the points it makes are:

Display lines set in all capital letters are difficult to read. Body copy set in all caps is totally illegible.

Words set in all caps are read letter by letter. Reading is approximately 15% slower in words set in all caps.

I'm telling you this because now that I'm 50, my eyes aren't as good as they used to be, and I want to be able to read every one of your posts.

And I, of course, wish you nothing but excellent results between now and September.

Best,

Zach

HI PAT,

TAKING VITAMIN C, E, COQ10, GARLIC, ONE A DAY MULTI, GREEN TEA, BABY ASPIRIN AND MILD BLOOD PRESSURE AND BETA CAROTENE. I DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE, V8 SPLASH, A CUP OF HOT GREEN TEA, APPLE AND ORANGE A DAY AND FOR BREAKFAST BROCALLI AND FRESH CAULIFLOWER. IN THE AFTERNOON AN APPLE AND A SMALL GLASS OF GREEN TEA IN A BOTTLE.

I FEEL GREAT, JUST HAD EYE EXAMINE AND MY EYES ARE IN EXCELLENT HEALTH FROM WHAT THEY WERE 3 YEARS AGO. I ONLY NEED READING GLASSES NOW.

I JUST HOPE AND PRAY FOR A MIRACLE THAT IN SEPT WHEN I HAVE THE SCOPE----I AM FREE.

YOUR THOUGHTS PLEASE???

Linda....don't OD on the vitamins. What are you taking? Pat

HI WENDY,

I DO HAVE RE-OCCURANCE BC (4 IN A YEAR), BUT ALTHOUGH THE SURGEON WANTS TO START THE BCG TREATMENTS, I AM WAITING UNTIL SEPT. AND HAVE A SCOPE AGAIN, DOING A LOT OF PRAYING AND EATING HEALTHY AND 9 VITAMINS DAILY ALONG WITH A LOT OF FRESH VEGGIES AND FRUIT. I FEEL FANTASTIC, NO BLOOD EVEN IN URINE UNDER MICROSCOPE.

I AM NOT GIVING UP HOPE,,,,, I CAN CONQUER THIS AND WILL.

KEEPING THE FAITH
LINDA
