SECOND LIFE

The mysterious text

In the spring of 1987, I had just reached the age of 56 years,
I joined at the outpatient clinic of the Beatrix Hospital in Gorinchem.
Reason for referral were some vague pain in the shoulders and
the heart. Dr. van Zijl internist examined me closely. I did the
normal bike test, it was made a cardiogram, the intestines were
investigated, including blood and lungs were searched.
Every time I'm in the clinic waiting for my turn, I noticed
on a poster, that it is the only decorations on the wall and me
the mysterious text very intrigued. "Are you
Kahler Patient? "I read" is a member of the Kahler-patient contact. "
I had at that time had never heard of this disease. The result of the
research seemed very positive. You're as fit as a fiddle. Your heart is
optimal condition, but want to come back again for further
blood tests? The ESR was and remained too high. In May 1987
followed a sternumpunctie. In June thereafter, the doctor told me that
I probably suffered from Kahler's disease. The disease was in
an early stage and to be sure I would undergo a biopsy in
the Academic Hospital in Utrecht. "Have you ever heard about the disease
Kahler heard, "said the doctor. I replied in the negative." All I know is
that a "club" consists of Kahler Patients "I said. I was told,
that Kahler's disease is a chronic and incurable disease
was. Given the early stage of my condition I decided not
drugs to prescribe, given the possible side effects of this.

A wave of horror

I left the office and walked into the waiting room directly to the
Kahler poster. I first read the fine print. A wave of
horror went through me when I read that I was able to further information
obtained from the Queen Wilhelmina Fund. So I had cancer or of
a sort of incurable and that while I felt fit and healthy.
In August, confirmed Dr. Lokhorst, haematologist of the Utrecht University
Hospital, the diagnosis. Kahler's disease (multiple myeloma) is a
malignant disease, cancer of the plasma from bone marrow, bone loss and
decomposition of the body's immune system, the consequences of this
disorder, the specialist said.

The wrong side of the line

Here I was quite consciously on the wrong side of the demarcation line.
On one side were those who were future-expectations, plans
made for the future, cherished hope, on the other side of the
imaginary line, I was, among many fellow sufferers, the sentenced,
incurably ill with a lower ³ ² hope for the future.
More than ten years earlier I had decided that if I ever get cancer, I
every effort would help control the disease.
It was "my illness, not the doctors and hospitals. I had
'It', taking account of all that modern healthcare has to offer
had to tackle themselves. In September 1987 I sought contact with Dr. Nico
Versteeg, a retired ENT specialist Breda, when practicing as
natural doctor. I wanted to prevent the disease all too easy
get. Gain time for everything, I knew, because science is not
quiet. Incidentally, the mere postponement of treatment with cytostatics
seemed to me very important. Dr. Versteeg wrote me a diet for the
such that every healthy person would do well as a daily dose of
a powder composed by him. He had years of study of
Scientific research on substances that may
would inhibit cancer and had it come to preparation, rich in
vitamins, minerals, trace elements and enzymes, the immune system of the
human body is optimally supported.
When Dr. Versteeg for his age, the practice was stopped SIS
powder (now available as capsule) by the company Oriherba marketed.
It is in every pharmacy to order. ( www.oriherba.nl and info@oriherba.nl )
There is also a very nice booklet presenting the possibility of
SIS therapy is described. (Editorial Note: This reference to the powder and website, which may be seen as advertising, we leave, because in January, but his story fits forfull responsibility in January Basically we encourage everyone to always have a qualified physician be consulted before anything is going to take or do)

Mobilization

I mobilized all about the disease, and reasoned, what can I
better than anything to me energy to live and rest time, use
for one purpose - survival.
I read everything I could get my hands on both regular and
alternative methods of disease control and inappropriate things I thought
for me and they were good too. After 1988 remained my
stable condition. I stayed in a quarterly audit of the UMC
in Utrecht, where Dr. Henk Lokhorst, guided me well and my
questions adequately answered. I joined the Contact Group
Kahler patients and was thus much more about the nature of the
rare disease.

My life lasts one day

I taught myself the technique of "short termism" in life
the day. Tonight is my life to start again tomorrow. Each
hour, every minute is precious. I learned to enjoy life as never
before ...
All the positive richness of life is constantly in the spotlight;
the concerns and worries shrink to a staggering
insignificance. I learned to live like a child who has no idea
the concept of "time". And while I am as a nonagenarian, who
all worries and anxieties has left behind. I have entrenched
behind the "saving immune system barrier" and added, by Dr Versteeg
over all matters what time of advancing science
revealed. I live healthy. One hour each day walking, good for
oxygen and good for the bones, also an afternoon break of half
hours and the use of such alfalva and drinking green tea etc. etc.

In summary: My goal was and is the body's immune system
optimally support the search for the best food and the remission
this system by avoiding stress and other negative factors,
so that the immune system to focus on its main task, the
suppression of the disease.

Survival

The four monthly check in the Acc. Hospital in Utrecht where
once a year, a bone marrow biopsy, showed that in the previous
years does not increase the number of malignant cells took place
found. Only in the summer of 2000 should be overturned because outside
a fourth vertebra plasmasytoom developed. Radiation and a short
Melphalan treatment and later brought me back Thalidomide treatment in
drug-free phase of the disease.
Now, seventeen years after diagnosis, my situation is still stable.
The life expectancy of six to seven years is far exceeded.

Chronically ill, yes, but my second life in the first
intensity and depth far exceeded.

I wish everyone would cry, fight back, it's worth.
