Alternative Treatment

I had been a subscriber to several online health newsletters and was aware of several types of natural therapies.

I had decided on Carnivora, a product made from the extract of the Venus flytrap. This product has also been in use in the US and Europe for more than 30 years. The company that supplied Carnivora also had Graviola, another plant extract. Carnivora is in liquid and capsule form and Graviola is in capsule form only.

I completed the 16-week treatment course and was supposed to go on maintenance, but I did not, and that I think, was a very serious mistake. I had been ignorant and underestimated the aggressiveness of the cancer cells.

At the same time, I was also treated by a nutritionist who is also well-versed in pharmaceutical products and chinese herbs. She treated me with enzymes, supplements and other stuffs.

All went well, until the middle of 2007, when I noticed that my immune was low. Due to my ignorance, I had been over-cautious with my diet. I had practically cut off all meats, except for some fish. Unfortunately, my body was not absorbing the nutrients even though I was taking a lot of supplements.
