Wait and see policy and why the Houtsmuller diet and supplementation
Visit internist followed. This specialist told me more about non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. For years I was very tired and I was quite brooding and melancholy, as happy as I was known. The internist said that the disease has long had to be present, it is a chronic condition, and that the average life expectancy was 10 years. Another story than that of surgeon. That message was hard: I was 55 years, and wished my husband, my children (preferably grandchildren!) For a long time to experience! I heard some years now called a wait-and-see policy (control = wait) was propagated in lymphomas of low malignancy. That meant no chemotherapy or radiotherapy (something I never wanted it). It sounded like music to my ears! There was a bone marrow biopsy and a CT scan, which showed that the lymphomas in the pancreas and along the aorta occurred. I was thinking about Iscador injections (a natural immune tonic), initially did not (did not want "ziekig" do) but it started in June, after a success story about one of his patients have heard, and are accustomed to the idea. The internist went on to go to the AMC to be informed about a research study (called a trial) with regard to stem cell transplantation, should the need arise. The post brought just before leaving for Amsterdam the requested brochure of the KWF entitled Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, so I could go about my disease orientation. All in all I still know little about, it turned to reading. During the conversation about this trial, I thought it must be crazy to run it come, that I would undergo all! At home I told my husband: "Now I Moerman also a doctor"! Through the National Information Moerman therapy we got the address of Valstar in The Hague. (Editors note: see page addresses Valstar useful addresses ) His first question to my husband: "Smoke your wife"? "No, never!" he replied. In early June I could find. Many supplements I was prescribed a la Houtsmuller diet + / Moerman. (Editors note: see page Houtsmuller diet as dietary means)
I got used to quickly adapted to contemporary insights - much tastier - diet. My taste changed. Although I always had a real star candy, I missed the cake, chocolate and other sweets are not, by eating (summer) fruit. Today I would merely scent of chocolate. I've used them to enjoy when others eat something nice. Guests staying with us (Moerman) dinner eat, find it very tasty, there are cooking books for Houtsmuller / Moerman diet. (Editors note: Each day is on the homepage of this site a recipe in the Houtsmuller Diet) Fortunately, much of what The diet prescribes sale in health food stores. My husband studied the backgrounds of the Moerman therapy and cook the delicious dishes! He turned out to be a true Moermankok. He also studied the medical history of non-Hodgkin's, making him quite worried. I did not have a need for medical information outside of what I read the brochure about the disease and the doctors learned. I acted out my intuition more and more I read the hopeful and inspiring book. The monthly magazine "View" from the Moerman Association encouraged - and even more - me.
