Day 829 Bad Morgentheim April 25, 09 - 20.15 hrs

Nicole in the main square of the town where we are.

Nicole had the first whole body hyperthermia yesterday. It was slightly different from what she had at Dr Wolf in Hannover. She supported it well. Her body temperature registered 39 degree C.

We had a quiet afternoon yesterday and we took it easy today. It was warm and sunny today. We went to the evening mass, after dinner.
Here the meals are taken at set time. Breakfast at 7.30 to 8.30, lunch at 11.45 to 13.30 and dinner at 6.45 to 7.45 pm.
If you are not on time, then there is no meal for you.

It is going to be two weeks since we have been here.

Next week I shall be in Mauritius while Nicole will continue having her treatment here.
We continue to pray and put our trust in God. As pointed out by Dr Demuth, who is the chief doctor here, everything is in His hands.
Another day ends.

Day 827 Bad Mergentheim April 23, 09 - 10.45 hrs

Nicole has her mistletoe injection yesterday as the test on the previous day revealed that she can tolerate it. She is coping well. Today it is fairly an easy day for her.

We now have settled into a routine here, with the scheduling of treatments done by the clinic. Food is getting better.

Praise the Lord.

Day 823 Bad Morgentheim, Germany April 19, 09 - 22.00 hrs

Sunday - we went to mass at the nearby church - mass was in German language. The accompanying music were classical pieces played by the organ player. It was like a music concert with the various music pieces being played during mass. Interesting and enjoyable concept. One attends mass and a music concert at the same time. Maybe father Bathfield could try this at his parish - a concert of sega religious songs during mass.

We went for a long walk after lunch as it was a sunny and beautiful day. Next week Nicole has a heavy program of treatments and the doctor is going to test if she can handle mistletoe injection. She will also have a whole body hyperthermia treatment on Friday.

Day 821 Bad Mergentheim April 17, 09 - 20.45 hrs

Nicole has the results of the blood tests done when she checked into Hufeland. The tumor market CA 19.9 is above 100, which is higher than the last test result. The doctor here is of opinion that the cancer is active and there is a need to stop this. He is proposing to see if Nicole can support intravenous injections of mistletoe extracts. She will have the test done on Tuesday and if it is ok, she will have the first full injection on Wednesday. The doctor suggested that Nicole stays at least six weeks at the hospital to make sure that the cancer is under control.
We were of course taken back by this development, not expecting that the cancer would continue to grow. At the same time, we are glad that we did come to this hospital. At least we are going to try to stop the growth of the cancer.
The hospital can take 50 patients in total at any one time as it has only 50 rooms. It is full. As expected all the patients are with cancer. Patients come from as far as New Zealand, US, Canada, Central Asia and of course Europe. We eat in a common dining room. Food is geared to cancer patients. I am eating the same type of food. No meat yet! But the food is tasty and one will not die of hunger. I am hooked on Brewer's yeast drink - it tastes like beer with no alcohol. This drink is good for the metabolism and digestive system. Nicole has been taking Tibetan mushroom drink. She encouraged me to drink it today. My first taste - lodeur vache la for terrible putting it mildly. This drink was given by a Tibetan monk to a woman with cancer and the doctor has told her she cannot be cured. After drinking this for a certain length of time, she was completely cured. Thus this drink is available here.
The atmosphere here is relaxing. The staff is friendly.
We met with the psychologist of the hospital. She treats patients. There is also painting therapy - patients are encouraged to paint anything to express themselves and clay therapy - playing with clay to express any inner feelings. There is singing and dance therapy.
Finally there is the spiritual dimension - a chapel, mass twice per month, meditation.
This hospital is treating the cancer carrier not the cancer. A very holistic approach - compared to orthodox medicine that treat the tumor and cancer cells.
We hope that this treatment will assist Nicole's body, mind and spirit to be rebuilt and balanced so that cancer cells will not find an environment to survive.
I am also drinking water from the natural springs in a park near the hospital. The water helps the digestive system and bowel cleansing.
Again, we see the Divine intervention in our life journey. Here we are in Germany at Hufeland prompted by the Holy Spirit to make this trip and we are blessed that we are here so that Nicole can have this treatment at the right time.
Praise and thank God for this.

Nicole has her first full day of treatment. It consisted of building her immune system. Detox, multi vitamins and supplements, blood tests, ultra sound scan and ozone therapy - mixing of oxygen and ozone with her blood.

Nicole is feeling ok. We went for a short walk in a beautiful park near the clinic.
See picture above.
Carpe Diem.
Thank the Lord for this great day.

Day 818 Bad Morgentheim, Germany April 14, 09 - 10.20hrs

We arrived at Hufeland Clinic yesterday afternoon. Nicole briefly met with Dr Demuth. He is in favor of enzyme therapy so Nicole will be able to take the pancreatic enzymes while she is being treated here. Dr Demuth was quick to point out that it will be Nicole's own immune system that will get rid of the cancer cells. All that will be done at the clinic here is to assist her body to overcome the cancer cells. Interesting approach to the treatment of cancer. The clinic treats the patient not the cancer.
Dinner is very geared to detox and healthy eating.
