BR is a 48-year old male diagnosed in November 2002 with a 6 cm brain tumor located in the right frontal lobe. He had surgery in December 2002 and the surgeon was able to remove 70% of the mass. He was diagnosed with oligodendrioglioma stage 3-4.
He refused radiation. Instead he received from 2004-2005 Temodal. While some initial shrinkage was viewed on the MRI of his brain, by March 2006 a follow up scan revealed a stage 3 growth of the original tumor. He was given one dose of an additional chemotherapeutic agent and his reaction was so severe he could not continue. He stopped the Temodal as well since it was no longer working. He was told nothing else could be done. He remained on anti seizure medication and was given 3-6 months to live. Aggressive tumor growth was to be expected. Started treatment at a clinic specializing in integrative medicine in September 2006 which included: biweekly H2O2 in a 250 dextrose bag mixed with Mg, Mn, hyaluronic acid (HA) 25 mg and B12 delivered intravenously (IV). The physicians reasoning for using HA is that tumors have receptors for hyaluronic acid and it is used as a targeting agent. This was followed by homeopathic treatment with Traumeel, Lymphomyosot (lymphatic formula) , Engystol (antiviral) in IV immediately afterwards. BR also received twice per week a Poly-MVA IV infusion which was run through a filter and mixed with CoQ10 (homeopathic) and 100 mg of saline and HA 25 mg after receiving the other two IVs. He took the Poly-MVA 4 tsp twice daily orally on the days he did not receive it IV. On a different day during the week he would receive 60 grams of IV vitamin C in sterile water with HA 100 mg once per week. BR would separate the oral Poly-MVA from the IV vitamin C by at least 6 hours. He continued this protocol for one year. His last MRI in June 2007 revealed the lesions are stable with no tumor growth or increase in size of any of the lesions. This is an excellent for an aggressive tumor that is no longer responsive to chemotherapy. He no longer has headaches. His small seizures were being managed with Dilantin. He was switch to a lighter medication due to the side effects he started to experience on Dilantin. He was given valproic acid instead to manage his small seizures. He continues the treatment protocol takes once every two weeks. He was last seen 7/12/07 and the patient still doing great and has no symptoms. His oncologist sees him every 3 months and he is followed with a brain MRI. The oncologist is amazed at his results given his diagnosis. BR is very active, feels great and has a Karnofsky score of 100%.
