The move to orthomolecular medicine (combination with regular care)

At the moment I 'my story' to put on paper I (August 2005) I made ​​the choice fairly recent addition to the regular care is also a doctor in the orthomolecular medicine consult. My motives and my findings to date will be described below. As expected, after a short time there may be no concrete results are presented. I have for myself a lot of 'research' done on the Internet and also the book "Nutritional intervention in cancer" by Drs. E. Valstar studied carefully. As described in the relapse, I was out of the usual care given to understand that my chances are minimal (when healing is called a medical miracle). Fortunately, I feel good and am not planning to to throw in the towel. At the time we were told, however, that communication was the huge hit of course we really needed time to regroup for us yet we both really get the feeling we have to fight! Through the internet we went on about orthomolecular medicine has come. We have visited several sites for information about both the methodology and the experiences of other people studying. It soon became clear to us that there are more ways that can lead to life enhancement / prolongation of survival than perhaps the way through the regular care. While reading the book "Nutritional intervention in cancer," a whole new world opened up for me and I came to the conclusion that year worldwide research into the effects of substances on all types of cancer. And the welcome that was all well supported was (the methods used, neatly and clearly explained so the reader without any knowledge of it can understand the usefulness of the various types of investigation can understand) and there are positive results were known. There is in my view no reason to believe that the published studies do not correct factual and therefore I became motivated to start a special diet (the book by Dr.. Houtsmuller should except some products as a guide) and started with use of some supplements that are prescribed after a visit to an orthomolecular doctor. The reason for this step comes from the fact that I part with my back against the wall stand and because I have several times during my stay in the hospital had asked if I as a patient would benefit from nutritional / vitamin supplements . The answer was always succinct "No!" (They said it added that in the diet were enough good material). Since I wanted to focus on just one thing which is cured, then I have not taken steps to further information. In retrospect it is somewhat or acid to call if you based research reading, showing that using certain substances, side effects during chemotherapy can be reduced, the effect of some chemotherapy in combination with certain substances can be optimized, the chances of a recurrence can be reduced and substances to cure or even a significant life improvement / extension lead. It has become clear to me, that from the angle orthomolecular medicine are many people who as a bridge between the regular care and orthomolecular medicine to act. For some strange reason, but little positive response from the normal angle (we hope that the distribution of budgets is not the reason that the boat so far from doing). I have my doctor in the hospital also presented the question and thereby made the remark in my opinion, every cent (both life-prolonging and life-enhancing one percent used a patient's behalf should be). My doctor also said that too little evidence and that in the eyes of regular care the chances of contradictions (probability that drugs interfere with each other / conflict) are too great. Something that I've read so far have often been studied and taken into account if an orthomolecular doctor prescribes something. The patient should of course always to both his doctor in the regular care and the treating orthomolecular doctor about what medications if their use. Obviously requires the implementation of a diet in your life do the necessary adjustments but my goal is clear and helps me in my motivation. Finally, the above should not be interpreted as a plea for orthomolecular medicine I just want to indicate my / our opinion, findings andmotives have been to this opportunity with both hands to grasp.
