Steve Loeffler – Glioblastoma


Posted by admin on October 14th, 2011

This patient came to Camelot in January of 2011 with a glioma – a brain tumor – measuring 4.8 x 3.7 x 3.8 cm. Steve, a 41-yr old man, was having pressure in his head and seizures, but had declined conventional chemo, so he was an excellent candidate for our program.

After several rounds of treatment, Steve’s post-treatment PET scan, performed in May of 2011, revealed no evidence for residual or recurrent malignancy. Translation… his brain tumor was completely eradicated! Congratulations Steve!

We have been truly blessed! And God gave us you. Carol is doing well, and so is the rest of the family. I would like to ask a question. Do you remember a lady from Utah that heard of your treatment from us. if you remember her I would like to know if the cancer was gone and what her scans have shown. If you could let me know. Her son used to work with me, but he quit and I can not get ahold of him. Thanks for your help and support. We tell everyone we can. I think the total is about 20.

Hi, my name is Marlene Schuster and I just wanted to tell you a little bit about my 2 bouts in 4 years with stage 4 vulvovaginal cancer. first of all it was recommended both times that I have a radical resection done, which would include removing: my vagina, rectum, colon, bladder, and anything else that was deemed necessary, and I was further advised that, even then, I would still need massive radiation and chemotherapy. So, for both times I chose to get a 2nd opinion at Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Both times, CTCA specialists advised me they felt sure that the cancer would be alleviated thru radiation and chemo alone. (Sparing me the radical surgery.) So, being scared, and ignorant of any other options, of course that is what I opted for. But both times, in the aftermath of those treatments, in my heart (and in my affected body parts) I could tell that part of the tumor was still there–growing. The scans confirmed the bad news.

On my 2nd trip to CTCA in Nov. of 2005, I overheard, completely by accident, some rumors about some treatments that were not at all anything that CTCA wanted to be known, addressed or discussed publicly or privately. So, nosy me, I just kept picking at some of the more discreet patients and their caregivers until I was given a name and number of a person to call. But I also had to tell her that I had been recommended, and by whom. Let me tell you, that was the best initial 15-30 minute phone conversation that I have ever had the privilege of engaging in. So needless to say, I finished out my (ineffective) standard medical treatment, came home to Las Vegas, Nv., and began planning my return trip to Camelot Cancer Care (formerly known as Complecare) for the alternative treatments of DMSO. I was in Tulsa for their series of I.V. treatments, and can promise you that, day by day, I could feel my tumor shrinking. To be fair, I should also tell you there are some minor side effects of DMSO treatment. Although it never happened to me, a small percentage of patients have experienced anemia from it and had to have blood transfusions. For me, the main thing was that I smelled liked smoked oysters. One time during the 18 days of treatment, I had some chills, and 1 or 2 times I had a slight headache. But as soon as the drip rate was adjusted, the chills and headache disappeared. Unfortunately, the stinky oyster smell lasted until 24 hours after my last treatment. But I figure it was a fair trade-off for a gentle treatment that worked. Having been through standard chemo and having experienced the misery of it and radiation sickness, (hair loss, nausea and vomiting), I can tell you that my worst day on DMSO was better than my “best” day on traditional cancer treatment. The odor leaves after treatment, and so does the cancer. I have now been cancer free for 19 months and have not felt one twinge of anything.

If ever in my lifetime it becomes necessary to once again seek treatment for cancer, I can assure everyone my first option will be to contact Camelot Cancer Care. Its the only way to fly!!!! I will be more than happy to reassure people that this treatment protocol is definitely the way to to kill cancer once and for all.

Thank you for that great report. I printed it to read again and again. I am very HAPPY to report that I feel really good. Saw my cancer doctor a few days ago and he asked me to fill him in on what I had been doing and I told him exactly what I had done. His answer was you don’t expect me to agree with that, do you. I told him no I knew he wouldn’t but he had to agree with the P.E.T. scan.results. All he could do was say it was because of the three chemo treatments that the cancer was almost gone. David didn’t spare any words when he told him he was full of it..THANK YOU AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. I love both of you.

Dear Fellow Cancer Fighters,
I have been asked to write something detailing my experience using DMSO as my chosen treatment when I had adenocarcinoma of the colon. First I want to say, my prayers are with all of you, because I know the trauma of having been diagnosed with cancer. I was diagnosed with colon cancer of the ascending colon, July 2005. I went to CTCA (Cancer Treatment Centers of America-in Tulsa, OK) with the intent of having surgery, and was not informed that I was in Stage 3 (lymph node positive, with 85% chance of recurrence) until I awoke from surgery. I was told the next step was chemo. But, having seen the results of chemo with family and friends, I knew it was not something I wanted to go through. At the time I went to CTCA, I was under the impression that they offered alternative medicine. I was not aware that it was actually “integrative” medicine, meaning the use of surgery, chemo, radiation as well as nutrition, acupuncture etc.. The point, that chemo and radiation played a big part in their medical protocol. I was to learn that natural alternative treatments like DMSO were not offered nor sanctioned by CTCA. I only found out about DMSO through other cancer patients who were receiving it.

I chose DMSO as my only course of treatment, following my surgery. I’ve had a total of 11 treatments, never taken any drugs of any kind for the cancer. November 28, 2005 I chose to have a PET scan done to confirm what I knew by then, no sign of cancer was the result.

I know DMSO is something we are not taught as a method to deal with cancer. But when I looked at all the people I knew that did use the conventional method we are taught to use, I felt I didn’t have a choice but to give my body a better chance to fight on its own.

I don’t regret my choice. Maureen and Nancy are truly interested in helping people. I trust them and I would tell anyone, DMSO should be the first choice, not the last, because before you undergo standard chemo and radiation, your body still has somewhat of an immune system. I hope this helps. Please feel free to contact me.

 

Mike Bounds

The following glioblastoma case is of special interest in that this malignancy resolved and the patient recovered, EVEN THOUGH he had undergone conventional chemo and radiation, and came to Camelot for DMSO-based intravenous treatment after having suffered a recurrence:

 

Mr. Bounds, 50-year-old male Industrial plant manager living in Texas. He had received extensive surgery for debulking, followed by conventional treatment for years. Yet his brain tumor kept recurring. Most recently, when symptoms of vertigo returned, his MRI revealed evidence of recurrent frontal lobe tumor activity. Discouraged, he and his wife began researching alternative treatment, and arrived at Camelot in July of 2009. Mike received one 20 day round of intravenous DMSO/B17. His PET scan was done on July 30th. He and his wife were enormously relieved and rejoicing when it came back negative. (Clean.)

 

Christine Ferri


Posted by admin on June 15th, 2011

Mrs. Ferri, a 42-year-old homemaker and mother of 3, from New Jersey, with a history of recurrent glioblastoma . Christine’s brain tumor was first diagnosed back in 2000, when she had a seizure when she was six months pregnant. Her first surgery to debulk it was done soon after she had delivered her baby… the biopsy confirmed low-grade glioma. She declined conventional chemo and radiation, and was able to enjoy a relatively uneventful few years before the malignancy accelerated and became more aggressive, and the seizures began again. She underwent another craniotomy and subtotal tumor resection in March of 2009. Christine related the harrowing experience of being told the risks, with or without surgery: (chance of significant and near total paralysis of left side, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, infection, bleeding, stroke, coma & death.) Christine arrived at Camelot two weeks postop, and began treatment with intravenous DMSO/B17 formula. She completed two 20-day rounds and recently received her post treatment PET scan. The final impression paragraph of the scan report says it all: “There is no evidence of recurrent tumor in the postoperative cavity in the high right parietal region.” Christine reports that her symptoms have resolved and her life has returned to her normal routine. She remarked she was very relieved and grateful to be healed and able to see her three small sons grow up.

Randy Clair


Posted by admin on June 15th, 2011

Mr. Clair is a 63 year old male farmer from Illinois, with a family history of prostate cancer. (Both his father & brother suffered from it.) He had been experiencing the usual symptoms of frequency and mild voiding dysfunction, growing worse until his urination had become obstructive and he was no longer able to get a good nights sleep.

His biopsy confirmed the malignancy, but he refused the radical surgery offered, as well as standard chemotherapy and radiation. He had witnessed what the toxic side effects had done to other family members and wanted no part of it. Randy contacted Camelot in January, and asked how long it would take to go through treatment for his prostate cancer. His remark was “I am a farmer, so I need to get this taken care of in the dead of winter.”

Randy arrived at Camelot and began treatment on February 17th of 2009, continuing for 20 days. He completed it by mid- March, and reported back that he was relieved, but not surprised, when his PET scan report came back negative, meaning all clear, with no evidence of any “hot spots” left. He said he “could pretty much figure the problem was fixed” when his urinary symptoms had subsided. Randy’s wife, grown children and grandkids were all celebrating the news. And Randy? Always quiet and soft spoken, only said “I want to thank you folks for helping me put this behind me in time before spring planting.”

 

Anna Gumnitsky


Posted by admin on June 15th, 2011

Mrs. Gumnitsky, a 50-year-old female homemaker from Ohio, diagnosed with breast cancer. (Infiltrating ductile carcinoma) as confirmed by thermal imaging, mammography and core biopsy. Patient has a family history: mother, father and grandfather all died from breast cancer, therefore she likely carries the gene.

Patient scans and exam revealed lesion in right breast behind nipple at 9 o’clock position, confirmed by biopsy as invasive ductile carcinoma, scans showed numerous calcifications.

She began treatment at Camelot on January 25th, 2010. Her post treatment PET scan on February 22nd revealed the lesion had been contained, with no evidence of disease progression. There was also dramatic reduction in both size and metabolic activity level, (SUV numbers had dropped down to 2.6, which indicate reduced uptake in adenopathy of the glucose isotopes) after one 20 day round of DMSO based intravenous treatment, plus Coleys Toxins and UVBI (Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation.) She is continuing further intravenous treatment from home at this writing (Camelot provides training in aseptic technique for self administration.) The patient speaks broken English, but managed to convey that she feels well and has returned to her normal routine. At her current rate of response to treatment, we are optimistic this breast cancer case will eventually resolve as her treatment continues through another 20 day round, or perhaps two.

 

Lorelaine Negron


Posted by admin on June 15th, 2011

Ms. Negron is a 39-year-old retail store manager, with Stage IV recurrent appendiceal/ovarian carcinoma, biopsy confirmed. She was first diagnosed in 2002 when she underwent surgery for acute appendicitis. Surgery and pathology reports revealed adenocarcinoma of appendix with perforation of the small intestine, and progression to the uterus, ovaries, peritoneum & omentum. Patient underwent radical hysterectomy & colostomy in October of 2007, and contracted VRE (Vancomycin resistant enterococcus) in the ICU, and her urine was found to have a heavy concentration of candida albicans, which is typical finding in most cancer patients.

Lori had extensive standard chemotherapy postop, but by December of 2010, scans revealed both lung & liver nodules. (The latter were successfully resected.) She began DMSO/B17 based intravenous treatment at Camelot on January 18th of 2010. She also received not only Coleys Toxins & UVBI (Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation, aka photoluminescence) but, at her brother’s insistence, she was treated with every weapon in Camelot’s alternative arsenal. Her colostomy has now been taken down. (Reversed, with reconnection.) Her recent post treatment PET scan was negative, much to the joy and relief of Lori and her family. Most significant was the radiologist’s note on her report that he found “no evidence of former cancer activity in the liver.” It should be noted that Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), when administered intravenously, saturates all soft tissues throughout the body… including, of course, lungs and liver. It also crosses the blood/brain barrier. It leaves nowhere for cancer cells to hide.
