Here are the full written text of the update of the video Teun van Vliet, who already has four years of clinical cancer brain tumor glioblastoma multiforme (stage IV) by dendritic cell therapy and hyperthermia. Updated September 13, 2010
July 30, 2010: Here are the full written text of the update of the video Teun van Vliet which update a few weeks we will publish. For the record, because the Internet is sometimes written differently: Teun's been four years now by a clinical cancer treatment with dendritic cell therapy and hyperthermia in the Medical Center of Cologne, Prof. Robert Gorter after mainstream oncology could do nothing for Teun and he had a life expectancy of several months in summer 2006. Now Summer 2010, Teun the start of the Tour de France in Rotterdam and made it just goes very well with him. There is absolutely no question of a return of his brain tumor. Aid, given the prognosis for a brain tumor glioblastoma multiforme (stage IV) eigenljik say he is cured.
Teun van Vliet texts Update July 30, 2010:
Teun van Vliet
Survive for many years a brain tumor
Glioblastoma multiforme (Grade IV)
0001 00:01:10:09 00:01:14:05
Twenty years ago, Teun van Vliet
an excellent cyclist.
0002 00:01:14:08 00:01:19:22
He became world champion on the track and
wore the yellow jersey in the Tour de France.
0003 00:01:20:00 00:01:24:05
But in 2001, Teun
faced with a brain tumor.
0004 00:01:24:08 00:01:27:02
A glioblastoma multiforme.
0005 00:01:28:02 00:01:32:10
In 2006, again
an inoperable recurrence detected ...
0006 00:01:32:13 00:01:35:16
brain tumor removed in 2001.
0007 00:01:35:19 00:01:39:05
There was operative as possible
tumor tissue is removed.
0008 00:01:39:08 00:01:41:04
Then he was irradiated.
0009 00:01:43:03 00:01:46:09
But while losing Teun
his speech ...
0010 00:01:46:12 00:01:49:18
and control of his motor
and his memory.
0011 00:01:49:21 00:01:54:11
In the regular oncology could
nothing done for him.
0012 00:01:54:14 00:01:57:14
He had more than one year to live.
0013 00:01:57:17 00:02:02:13
In 2001 ...
0014 00:02:02:16 00:02:08:01
I have a brain tumor.
0015 00:02:08:04 00:02:12:23
That was surgically removed.
0016 00:02:13:01 00:02:19:02
This was a phase I
0017 00:02:19:05 00:02:24:09
In 2006 ...
0018 00:02:24:12 00:02:29:04
I got another.
0019 00:02:29:07 00:02:35:10
That was stage IV.
0020 00:02:37:15 00:02:43:10
Fifteen months later
I came here.
0021 00:02:44:10 00:02:47:14
Teun and his girlfriend
not accept his death sentence.
0022 00:02:47:17 00:02:52:02
She consulted the doctor Robert Gorter
in the Medical Center Cologne.
0023 00:02:52:05 00:02:58:07
He advised dendritic cell
in combination with local hyperthermia.
0024 00:03:05:20 00:03:09:19
When were you last here?
I have not seen you.
0025 00:03:12:10 00:03:15:16
Last week, I think.
0026 00:03:15:19 00:03:17:11
Last week?
-Yes.
0027 00:03:17:14 00:03:20:10
Gorter said:
0028 00:03:20:13 00:03:27:20
Then you dendritic cell therapy.
0029 00:03:28:20 00:03:34:06
Then I ...
0030 00:03:34:09 00:03:40:08
received a heat process.
0031 00:03:40:11 00:03:41:21
And then ...
0032 00:03:45:06 00:03:49:04
still a lot of vitamins.
0033 00:03:51:13 00:03:55:12
And now I am still alive.
0034 00:03:57:08 00:04:00:01
It's good.
0035 00:04:00:04 00:04:03:08
And the rest goes into the skin.
0036 00:04:03:11 00:04:09:08
Look. Teun van Vliet, 7.3 million.
Lots.
0037 00:04:09:11 00:04:15:14
And 95 percent vitality.
So those are fit guys.
0038 00:04:16:14 00:04:21:08
We are in the clinic
Robert Gorter ended up with ...
0039 00:04:21:11 00:04:25:09
because the sister knew someone Teun
who was treated.
0040 00:04:25:12 00:04:30:13
That person went very well.
He had the same diagnosis as Teun.
0041 00:04:30:16 00:04:35:06
We have had a discussion
and left immediately for treatment.
0042 00:04:35:09 00:04:38:16
It was really just better.
0043 00:04:41:12 00:04:45:21
Aid received in the first half twice
weekly local hyperthermia ...
0044 00:04:45:24 00:04:49:05
and once a month
dendritic cell therapy.
0045 00:04:49:08 00:04:53:20
Then it was every three months
and once every six months.
0046 00:04:53:23 00:04:58:01
Half of the dendritic cells
is intravenously injected ...
0047 00:04:58:04 00:05:01:14
and the other half in the skin,
intracutaneously.
0048 00:05:01:17 00:05:07:16
Gorter is this combination therapy
the most promising.
0049 00:05:07:19 00:05:14:16
We do something that I think we
better than in world literature:
0050 00:05:14:19 00:05:18:20
If patients receive dendritic cells
we encourage them to ...
0051 00:05:18:23 00:05:22:13
on that first day
period by a fever to go.
0052 00:05:22:16 00:05:27:24
Your immune system works at 37 degrees
namely on autopilot.
0053 00:05:28:02 00:05:31:00
It does its things,
everything going on.
0054 00:05:31:03 00:05:36:13
If the immune system to more
work in an emergency phase is ...
0055 00:05:36:16 00:05:41:02
there will be an impetus from the brains
fever for it.
0056 00:05:41:05 00:05:43:15
The immune system is awake.
0057 00:05:43:18 00:05:49:21
At 38.3 to 38.5
its function is at least doubled.
0058 00:05:49:24 00:05:54:08
Even if the fever slips,
means that at least another 24 hours.
0059 00:05:54:11 00:06:00:13
Immediately after a febrile period
we give the dendritic cells.
0060 00:06:00:16 00:06:04:08
The combination of hyperthermia
and dendritic cell ...
0061 00:06:04:11 00:06:06:11
catching on with Teun.
0062 00:06:06:14 00:06:11:14
His motor skills improved
and even his voice is partly back.
0063 00:06:11:17 00:06:16:22
The first MRI scans confirm
that the tumor disappeared.
0064 00:06:17:00 00:06:21:12
We have a few months
noticed that it went better.
0065 00:06:21:15 00:06:26:04
He could walk and talk better
and could understand more.
0066 00:06:26:07 00:06:31:16
We had a normal conversation.
The family said it was better.
0067 00:06:31:19 00:06:39:08
Also on the scan, we could see
to be clinically improved.
0068 00:06:43:11 00:06:48:05
And here ...
-Yes, pens here.
0069 00:06:48:08 00:06:51:04
Yes.
-They have to sit on your head.
0070 00:06:51:07 00:06:57:05
Yes, I can not help it.
-Yes, that's right.
0071 00:06:57:08 00:07:01:16
Boy, and then I hurt.
0072 00:07:01:19 00:07:03:19
That ...
-Terminal?
0073 00:07:03:22 00:07:10:01
Yes. Clamps
and then they start to drill.
0074 00:07:11:01 00:07:18:05
Fifteen months ago
I could not speak.
0075 00:07:18:08 00:07:19:18
Zero.
0076 00:07:27:10 00:07:31:03
Then I had a speech therapist.
0077 00:07:36:17 00:07:44:20
Now I talk for 50 to 55 percent.
0078 00:07:47:05 00:07:50:13
It really started
seriously worse.
0079 00:07:50:16 00:07:54:21
He hardly spoke.
He could not speak.
0080 00:07:54:24 00:07:58:19
The first thing we notice
of the treatments ...
0081 00:07:58:22 00:08:02:06
that his speech
simply much better.
0082 00:08:02:09 00:08:07:16
He is much livelier,
more active.
0083 00:08:07:19 00:08:10:23
I have my old buddy
back, actually.
0084 00:08:21:22 00:08:24:22
The treatment is very excited.
0085 00:08:25:00 00:08:29:00
If he comes,
especially after the fever therapy ...
0086 00:08:29:03 00:08:32:01
it seems like he has more energy.
0087 00:08:32:04 00:08:37:16
His speech has improved,
his motor skills improved.
0088 00:08:37:19 00:08:42:10
He feels more energetic.
Everything is just advanced.
0089 00:08:42:13 00:08:45:14
His quality of life
has certainly improved.
0090 00:08:46:16 00:08:49:17
In April 2008 confirmed
a new MRI ...
0091 00:08:49:20 00:08:53:14
that there is still no question
of relapse.
0092 00:08:53:17 00:08:56:12
And it's getting better with Teun.
0093 00:08:56:15 00:09:01:09
There is no tumor tissue
to be seen on the scans ...
0094 00:09:01:12 00:09:04:08
for four consecutive scans.
0095 00:09:04:11 00:09:06:19
Every three months
they make a scan.
0096 00:09:06:22 00:09:10:14
That's still clean,
So it's very good.
0097 00:09:10:17 00:09:13:12
There is still an upward trend.
0098 00:09:16:18 00:09:21:13
First he went twice a week
to Cologne and later every three months.
0099 00:09:21:16 00:09:26:22
We are now in the phase
we go every six months.
0100 00:09:27:00 00:09:32:13
There is also
no deterioration occurred.
0101 00:09:32:16 00:09:34:24
So we think that's alright.

That all is well shown in the following year. In the summer of 2010, four years after the start of the treatments in Cologne, it is still going strong with Teun.
Teun says: 2 weeks ago I had another scan and everything was good.
Hennita says: good weather
Teun says: yes well again
Hennita says, and it's still good
Teun says: With Dr. Gorter I have agreed in September ....
Hennita says: did you go in September
Teun says no September next year ... ..
Hennita said yes in September next year. So now just over one year, return. This is also a much longer intervals so that's good huh!
Comment Text 7:
Yet Hennita still doubt and fear. Though they do have future plans and they move to a new home.
Hennita says:
Where do these doubts away. Yes of course because you are searching. What does it mean to have a brain tumor. What can the medicine and then you can definitely see a lot negateive reports of brain tumors. That almost always fatal. So you're still very skeptical after such treatment. Very skeptical.
Kees says: and you?
Teun says one day not lived one day without laughter
Kees says: You're optimistic?
Teun says: yes yes
Kees says: How come?
Teun said, yeah a dolletje and then ... ..
Hennita says:
optimist from home, just really an optimist at home. Also very potatoes hear because I am convinced that it cooperates. He can drive again. He has now been extended two years even.
8 Comment Text:
Teun has for years no longer had a seizure.
Hennita says:
Actually that was quite rapidly away though. I think that 8 weeks after surgery was. He raises after surgery had a few little ones. And then nothing. So that's now been three years or longer
Teun says yes three years ago.
Comment Text 9:
Teun has always remained under control in his own oncologist that regularly scans are made.
Teun says: I've been in four months had a scan and everything was still good.
Hennita says:
yes we will continue to do eh. For the oncologist said the 3 months to 6 months you can. But then again I'm someone who says I'm safer than four months to go. Because they said his tumor differentially active .. Then I do not wait six months until he gets a scan. And I must also say that they are in our hospital are very accommodating and they say OK if you feel you are good when we do it .. So every four months a scan. And if that weather is good, so delicious.
We also clean them when we are informed that the chemo and radiation therapy in Germany to follow. He was also very interested in it. Not negative about it. Always asked, are you still in Germany? And yes the results he sees himself. I go every day with him so I find not. But I am always very nice when people have not seen him for a moment and say, gosh what Teun talk better again. But the main is that the tumor remains.
Comment Text 10:
Aid used in addition to the noni drink no other food supplements. Hennita is worried about his smoking Teun.
Hennita says: No he's not so. He lives on healthy, so yeah ....
Teun says on smoking after ... ...
Hennita say yes I ask em sometimes wonder what it would be if she would put on the block like: if you're not smoking you will definitely cure your brain. That is not true, but you would or could?
Teun says: yes yes
Hennita says: Well then I'll have to talk with Dr. Gorter. Because that has always said that I remember well our first meeting that everything is burned in your body is is bad. Let's say for example a barbecue if you do the meat of black late or if you bake potatoes or whatever. Toast. The products are all bad then. Tobacco is burned and inhale. It can not be good!
Comment Text 11:
Teun as much publicity as a celebrity has had search many other people with a brain contact with them.
Hennita says: We always offer the chance to come talk
Teun say, 10 times in one year is ....
Hennita says phone or something if they want to know more than we just here. Yes, I think we have that opportunity myself. It is not always easy to hear. You see that all early returns. Often they just pass or just had surgery or had a diagnsoe. And it's quite heavy though. It's not always fun to do. But I also say we have also had a chance so I gun it really everyone.
Comment Text 12:
All in all, Teun now four years clinical cancer. For stage IV glioblastoma brain tumor is extremely rare. Thanks to the dendritic cell therapy and hyperthermia. But the will and the attitude of the fantastic support and Teun Hennita have an important role.
Hennita says: I do think that he has made me easily. Really. Because I can imagine that I do not know how I would react if I would get that diagnosis. But he does have the first two days just sitting deep in the pit. And then he picked up all the way back: it's what I want and I'm here for. See if someone at home who've been very depressed ....
Teun says ... nothing will ...
Hennita says: Yes. But he had always said there were bad days when he was not feeling the chemo but always positive and always well-disposed. This makes it much easier. See what you can do for someone you do, but he made it easier for me. A model patient, so that's really, really positive.
