Stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
In April 2005, I began having pain in my back of my left arm making it hard for me to do things? I had X-rays of my spine. The report was normal, but it really wasn’t. I forwarded it the letter. They didn’t X-rays where the problem was. After my normal report, I went to a Chiropractor for 11 treatments which didn’t help. In May my Dr. Then ordered a bone scan an MRI which revealed a...

Hello Everyone.... I am now 3 years clear of lung cancer. I do get nervous when its time for the Pet Scan
and Blood Test..I think all cancer survivors feel the same way.
Lung Cancer is one of the few that you can survive - providing you don't do Chemo or Radiation.
When I was told I had a mass in my lung, the first thing I did when I returned home was to call Amarc - the Poly people..(that's what I call them) PolyMVA saved my life.
I had to see an oncologist and I really...
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...

"Doc!" she said as it was going down, "Could this stuff already be working?" It appeared that she immediately had a...

“I am a Stage 1 lung cancer patient. I was diagnosed with lung cancer in September, 2008. My “treatment” was simply a surgical lobectomy of the lower lobe of my right lung. “Standard of care” oncology did not recommend any further treatments.”
“I wanted to do something to hopefully contribute to staying healthy and not having my lung cancer recur. In October, 2010, I began using Poly-MVA and other Amarc supplements, taking 2 teaspoons 1 time a day as a “maintenance” dose.
I have...
"In Feb 2006 I was diagnosed with inoperable stage 3B lung cancer. As a nonsmoker and registered nurse I felt I was living a healthy lifestyle. I was given 4-6 months to live and encouraged to get my affairs in order. A doctor friend interested in complimentary medicine and research started me on a supplement plan while I was receiving chemotherapy. The goal was to enhance the effectiveness of the chemotherapy. The fatigue associated with cancer and its treatment is very debilitating....
