September 26, 2009: The First Steps on the Road to Recovery

Today we started getting everything together for Zoe. I went to the Natural Baby in Watkinsville and purchased several organic items for her. We switched from Pampers to chlorine-free organic diapers. We also bought a food steamer/processor that is BPA free. We switched her bowls from plastic to stainless steel. Even though they were BPA free plastic, I'm not taking any chances. We also purchased a stainless steel sippy cup. Along with all of that we got her organic cotton sheets, in pink of course. It wasn't a cheap little trip but I think it was well worth it.

We also went to Earth Fare and purchased all natural and organic hair products for me and soaps and lotions for Sean. This way, I won't transfer toxins to her by breastfeeding. Also, we won't transfer them to her by touching her. I also purchased a probiotic to help replenish what was killed by the antibiotics she needed after surgery.

We are continuing to give her the FuCoyDon and Eternity although we have had to back off a bit because she is having such runny diapers. Hopefully the probiotics will help to clear that up in the next few days. I'm also trying to get her back on some solids to try and help with that.

Dad came and installed a water filter on our pump that will filter chlorine and flouride out of our water. That way, when she bathes, she will not be exposed to those chemicals. We have also started giving her alkaline water to help alkaline her cells and starve out the cancer. We tested my breast milk and it has a pH of 6.5 which is alkaline so we are doing well there.

Tonya and I are researching many alternative therapies that may work for Zoe. One in Houston, Texas. It is performed in a place called the Burzynski Clinic. They have had some great success (so we think so far anyway). We are also looking into a nutritional doctor in Utah. We found her through a little girl in Ohio that had DIPG just like Zoe. This little girl went through 33 days of chemotherapy and radiation and then they decided to stop treatment. She went to see this nutritional doctor and the tumor shrank from 5 cm to .4 cm in 2 years. She is 4 years out from diagnosis and she is cancer free, a normal 9 year old.

We are also looking into vibrational retunement in Bristol, England, and Ruta-6, a homeopathic treatment from India.

Tonight around 10, Zoe started to vomit and she vomited about 6 or 7 times within the course of 45 minutes. The neurologist has us bring her back to Scottish Rite. They did a CT scan and some x-rays to ensure that her shunt was draining correctly. Fortunately, it was and we got to come back home.

  1. My Dr. recommended Burzynski. He said he was doing some great work with tumors. The Dr. in Utah sound very promising too! We're going to just keep praying the Lord will lead you to the right answers! Take care and stay strong. Sarah said to give Zoe a kiss from her.

  2. Thanks Christian! What's your Doc's name? That way I can tell Tonya and the Dr. Claire.

  3. Hey, sorry for the delay. My Doc's name is Glynn Taunton. He's awesome, really into alternative treatments for his patients. He is a research fanatic, that's how he knew about Burzynski. Dr. T is an osteopathic dr. I emailed him after we found out to see if he knew of anything or anyone that could help ya'll and Burzynski was his suggestion.

    I also talked to another Dr today that is an alternative cancer Dr. His name is Kelley Raber. He uses Fucoydon with alot of his patients. He gave me some info on a hospital in China that uses cryosurgery. I'm not sure that it would work in Zoe's case, but I think it's worth looking at. The web site is orienttumor.com and you can also email them Zoe's info to fudahospital@gmail.com. Dr. Raber also said to look up Dr. Rhett Bergeon in Roswell, GA, here's his number (678)-990-5401. Hope some of this will help. Take care, we love ya'll!
