Carbonated Beverages Saving Me
I lucked on a solution to one of my cancer-related problems
One of the issues I’ve had since being diagnosed with metastatic cancer — I started to have balance issues. They got a lot worse after I’d had chemotherapy and radiation.
Which does not surprise me since these treatment modalities introduce toxins into your body.
They hopefully kill the cancer cells preferentially to healthy cells.
When I first got cancer back in 2004, I felt it was a mistake to take chemo and radiation. In fact, I avoided doing it for several months despite having inflammatory breast cancer and being given just 6 months to live. And I am glad I did that because it allowed me to help strengthen my immune system before it was attacked by the treatments.
This time around, I postponed these treatments again, as much as I could. However, at one point I was in danger of my lung cancer spreading so fast it could cause a massive heart attack. At another point, there was the spread of cancer into my bones that threatened to break my hip.
In both these cases — I decided on conventional treatment to keep me alive.
However, I found that every time I did this, side-effects would occur.
