This weekend, I had off from the hospital treatments, but I still had to follow my strict diet and take Apatone. Apatone is a proprietary solution that combines vitamin K3 and vitamin C. Vitamin C is an active antioxidant that has been found to prevent the induction of tumors in clinical experiments, while vitamin K3 alone was found to present antitumor activity. Apatone combines vitamin C and vitamin K3 in a 100:1 ratio. I was instructed to take 3 capsules of Apatone every 2 hours equaling a total of 15 capsules on Saturday and 15 capsules on Sunday. I felt lightheaded and I had some nausea from the Apatone. The high doses of Apatone does not mix well with me. I will have to discuss with the doctor tomorrow on what I can do to help with these symptoms. My Apatone dose will go up to 5 pills every 2 hours and it is a go home treatment for me once I leave here next weekend. It will equal the amount of Vitamin C and K IV that I have been getting daily at the hospital. Well, I made the best of the weekend, even though I wasn’t feeling the greatest. It was in the upper 80s here in Mexico and sunny; quite different from the 30 degree weather in Chicago. I took a walk on the beach with my mom and my son yesterday. We walked to this organic yogurt restaurant and had some great food. I have to follow an organic plant based diet as much as I can here in Mexico. It has been a challenge getting organic fruits and veggies here but there are a few organic stores and this organic restaurant. My dad has been trying his best to make me food over the weekends that fits in my diet plan. Today, we went down to the beach again and I kicked a ball around with my son. It felt good to get some exercise in, as best I could, with feeling a little lightheaded. My son had fun, and was laughing a ton, which I love to see. Plus, being by the ocean and getting some sun really does help me feel better. We all had dinner at the organic yogurt restaurant. The staff is really getting to know us there…lol. In addition to following a strict organic plant based diet, coffee enemas are an important part of therapy at Chipsa. Coffee enemas may have originated from German physicians searching for a cancer treatment in the early 1900s. But it was the Gerson therapy that helped put the procedure on the map. Max Gerson was a German-American doctor who believed you could detox the body and give it the nutrients it needs to heal itself using an organic plant-based diet, raw juices, and coffee enemas. His rigorous program became known as the Gerson therapy. Chipsa supports the Gerson therapy and it plays a critical role in treatment with Chipsa. Some benefits of coffee enemas: boosts immunity, increases energy, stops yeast overgrowth, treats autoimmune diseases, removes parasites from the digestive tract, removes heavy metals from the body, reduces side effects of cancer treatments. Alright, so I’m sure everyone knows what an enema is; I won’t go into detail about how to perform them..lol. I do feel like the coffee enemas are helping to lessen my side effects of treatment. Okay, guess what! I have 1 more week to go! I am feeling really great about the treatments so far; and I am praying for good news on the ultrasound later in the week.
