My name is John Fox. I have been in the Fire Service for 36 years. My story started like most others. One morning I woke up and passed blood, no urine, just blood. I went to an ER. They looked at the blood and said it was kidney stones. I still thought it odd but I went to work and started my shift. Within a few hours, the pain was unbearable, I was transported to the ER (another one) by my crew. Within minutes, my world was shattered! The ultrasound showed a 7cm tumor in my left kidney. I had cancer.

I went through a number of CT and PET scans to determine if it was cancer - all of the scans were positive for cancer. My options were limited, I had the kidney removed in December 2003. Then I was told there was only one reasonably proven treatment that showed promise in 7% of the people, or I could get in a trial study using an unproven manmade DNA. I went for the trial drug with nothing to lose. Through this I had regular scans; they were showing a reduction in the size and number of the tumors. My last scan after the treatment showed that the tumors were gone.

In October 2005 they found a spot on my liver, It was surgically removed and turned out to be dead cells. In July 2007 a scan showed a large nodule that had grown in my right lung. We waited for 2 months and had another scan. This one showed an additional nodule in my right lung and another large one in my left. With this report, I contacted someone I knew with RCC in remission and asked what he was taking. He indicated he was taking Poly-MVA. I bought an extra bottle he had and started at 8 tsp a day. I called AMARC and talked to Gary Matson, who was able to assist me in setting up a proper dose, start using Coq10 and answered all of my questions. I took the Poly-MVA for 3 weeks before my surgery to remove the nodule in my left lung. The pathology came back as dead cells, no evidence of cancer. I had a scan 8 weeks later and it showed one of the nodules in the right lung stable and the other one gone. The only change was taking Poly-MVA. My oncologist does not have an explanation for this but I do! Poly-MVA!! The people at AMARC have been incredible, passionate, and very knowledable - without them I am sure I would not be working in the Fire Department today. They put their hearts in what they do and help save lives everyday! Thank you AMARC for all you do!
