Day #2 at Marinus—Getting Pye Squared Away Today it was for real. As most days will, this one started with breakfast at 8:00. Fruit, yoghurt, curd with a dash of honey (surprisingly good), soft-boiled egg, and toast from bread with the consistency of a patio brick. I very much enjoyed it. Then off for two of several procedures that will be a part of every day at some point, alternating every other day. First was the removal of a few tubes of blood for testing, followed by maybe a half-pint more that was then infused with oxygen and slowly dripped back into me. Cancer hates oxygen, so that was a good place to start. It was followed by a small bag of clear fluid dripped into my arm—concentrated selenium, an important element in human health that most people do not have in adequate amounts. I’ve taken selenium tablets as far back as Adelle Davis, so I’m not sure I need it but everyone gets it. Vivienne is allowed to be with me for anything I do, so she came along for my first visit with Dr. Axel Weber, who with his wife Petra owns and runs Klinik Marinus. Imagine Santa Claus without a red suit, white hair, or a beard. Imagine the most joyous person you know, but speaking in a quiet voice, not much above a whisper, continually brimming over with good vibes, good attitude, good energy, and with a clearly oversized heart always visible on his sleeve. It’s said any business will mold itself to suit the image of its leader, so it’s easy to see why Marinus is highly regarded. Dr. Weber is an absolute gem of a man, middle-aged, a bit beefy, with a noticeable German accent. “I want to make you well, Mr. Pye, it makes me feel wonderful to help someone to get over this terrible disease.” But, uhhhh, what happens when you fail? “I am heartbroken for them and for their family. We cannot save all, but we do save many. We try very hard to save you!” And so it began. Into the ultrasound room to see where my tumor is now, nearly a full month since the first time it made its ultra debut. I’ve been fighting it as hard as I could with home remedies, and sure enough, it had not grown!! Still 10 cm by 13 cm!! Better yet, the biopsies done on it did not seem to have leaked it out into any of my lymph nodes. My groin was clear and my armpits were clear. You could hear the “Wheeewww!” of held breath by the room itself. This was a crucial result. It means that despite its large size now, my tumor can be defeated and I can survive it long-term. Still many a slip between that particular cup and lip, but it certainly jazzed me and Vivi and Dr. Weber. Next came the consultation where Dr. Weber told me the various protocols I’ll undergo while here. Low-dose chemo is unavoidable due to my tumor’s size, even though I’ve been able to keep it from growing during the last month. It’s still very large for an aggressive B-cell lymphoma, and it has to be treated with utmost respect. Chemo should turn it in the other direction, then radiant heat will be applied with a machine that I will experience tomorrow. I saw others undergoing heat therapy today, and it doesn’t look bad. In situations like this my attitude always is, “If they can do it, I can do it.” But the chemo looms largest, and I will begin that therapy day after tomorrow (Thursday). I’ll also get heat packs daily to enhance the chemo along with the directed heat machine. Lots of heat here because cancer can’t tolerate high body heat. I should also mention the “jiggle belt” that wraps around my lower abdomen, just below the tumor, to shake me and jiggle me to get my lymph moving properly to help clean dead cancer cells out of me. No enemas here! Nobody has mentioned them and I’m not bringing them up. They’re common in a lot of alternative cancer centers, but not here, and I’m not complaining. The Marinus staff seems to have other means of cleaning out dead-cell sludge. Another way to move cellular garbage out of your body is heavy massages by Markus, who has been with the Klinik since its beginning in 2000. Like Dr. Meyer, he is a jovial, good-natured man, and as a bonus he’d heard through the Klinik grapevine that I know a lot about UFOs and aliens and hominoids and such, so he wanted to know about that. I talked Starchild Skull with him through the entire massage, then sent him a complimentary copy of “Starchild Skull Essentials.” I imagine we’ll be talking about parts of that through the five or six other massages I’ll have while I’m here. Shots. I’ll get a lot of shots. Thymus every day. Mistletoe every other day. And a few others as they come up. I also will get drips of various vitamins in large doses, particularly Vitamin C, but others as well. These are yet to come. Only so much could be accomplished in one day. And then, at the end, came the bad news. My blood had revealed an overabundance of free radicals, indicating “a very high stress overload for a long period of time.” 230 is what you’re looking for, and anything above 400 is a serious problem. My score was 392, so we’ll be looking at that extra hard tomorrow and beyond. Today was more orientation than anything else, getting my toes in the water, allowing me to meet the staff and for them to take an initial measure of me. Tomorrow should be even more intense, but I’m not intimidated. I keep seeing those beautiful ultrasound images in my mind’s eye……I kept the bastard from growing!!! :-D Lloyd Pye Klinik Marinus Brannenburg, Germany August 6, 2013
