November 2003: Dick sent us an update on his situation now. He is now 11 years are free of melanoma and live a decent life.

dated November 21, 2003:
Dick gave me the following e-mail as an update of his story. Wonderful to see how well he's doing.

I can only say that I last year in good health, with an excellent quality of life, you may experience. Whereas elsewhere in my area many people have one or more days have been sick or flu, I have none of them suffered. It must be said that I was still strictly an anti-melanoma cancer-like diet, plus daily megadoses of vitamins and nutritional supplements to take me.

I assume that I have the diagnosis of melanoma cancer in 1993, proved me, simply predisposition to possess excesses of body cells, and that I therefore always has to ensure that all body cells for nothing for their metabolism. This is the good of immune cells optimally. They should because the fight against cancer to continue. As long as all the necessary nutrients for a cell in sufficient quantities, this body cell is usually no need to switch to another life-threatening, lower metabolic level, in order to survive.

I also try to minimize those substances, necessary for the metabolism of a cancer, such as for salt (sodium). So far it appears to me to be happy working philosophy. I still have much trouble with people who tell me that if you have cancer melanoma, which you then terminally "ill" are. I feel sick at all, on the contrary, but unfortunately I'm a life-threatening cell metabolism problem that very well and should be closely controlled. I get more and more convinced of the tremendous impact that use of megadoses of vitamin C in fighting cancer can bring. I use for almost 11 years daily for 20 grams of vitamin C in the form of calcium ascorbate. !

Kidney stone formation by use of vit. C is rarely described in the literature.
Only in people who bear absolutely no oxalic acid, such as rhubarb, the theoretical possibility existed, of formation of kidney stones using mega doses of vit. C. It is therefore unrealistic to claim that anyone can form kidney stones at higher doses vit.C. (About possibly many heavily damaging effects in normal use of 'conventional' medicine, is no 'regular' doctor is busy). In literature that vitamin C is called the "collagene' tissues strengthens the cell walls, allowing the enzymes in cancer cell membranes that can not solve. In "layman" can these "collagenous tissues" easy compared to "shrink" from the packaging.

As these "shrink" to thicken the product is wrapped in this case the cell wall, the better the cell wall protects against external influences, such as liquids (toxic enzymes of cancer cells) and mechanical damage. (Such as surgery.) The tumor itself is the "shrink" wrapped, so his movements, and thus its growth opportunities are substantially reduced, if not impossible.

I was still a mystery why "regular" doctors vitamin C actually still ignored in the fight against cancer. I would also like to recommend every cancer patient a kind of "medical journal" to keep. I myself make this note whenever I feel something, something not trust, and my weight at regular intervals, and business and conditions, therapies, or emotions, which may be important in assessing the notes of that day. For example, today when I twinge in my right shoulder feel that precise recorded. Than appears from the notes for example that I have the same twinge three years earlier, and last year, also on that spot already been gotten, without further consequences. With this knowledge I feel will feel a lot calmer than when I use the same note without this information. This gave me a lot less stress, which benefits the defense.

Through a medical journal is the global structure of the whole development of the personal struggle against cancer more manageable. You could also properly evaluate the effects of certain applications and therapies have had. I believe that the medical journal at a lot of emotional calm, which is a positive contribution to the feeling of well-being. Perhaps this is another way to experience.

"Although over the past few years with an excellent quality of life may have experienced, I am still very conscious of it daily, that constructionfor melanoma cancer, a permanent life-threatening "problem" is making life quite unexpectedly a completely different turn than we wish to adopt.
Although I very sober and clear all attempts to bring forward, I live it every day with a heavy emotional burden on my shoulders.

Reason for me to absolutely not, therefore, to relax, diet, vitamins and nutritional supplements. "

F or those who wish to comment or questions to Dick can make through us and we'll send them to Dick.
