Metastatic Melanoma
Metastatic Melanoma and minimal effects from radiation. It was August 2003, one week before my husband would be going into surgery a second time for the return of metastatic melanoma. I was at a Nature’s Source vitamin store, replenishing supplements for my husband, that I, through my own research, discovered were a deficiency in cancer, and specifically, melanoma patients. The only other customer in the store at that time overheard me reviewing my supplemental strategy with the pharmacist and approached me with genuine interest and concern. This would be what I refer to as my chance encounter with a stranger, introducing himself as Paul Beatty.
After hearing that my husband would undergo a left radical groin dissection and a left pelvic lymph node dissection in a week, to be followed by five weeks of radiation and a year of Interferon treatment, Paul proceeded to explain the importance of essential fatty acids in maintaining the overall health of our cells, especially those found in Efamol, Evening Primrose oil and EPA-DHA complex found in cold water fish body oil. Not only would a 3:1 ratio of these EFA’s taken with a specific formula of vitamins and minerals, maintain the health of our body’s cells so they could fight off disease such as cancer, but would be instrumental in protecting the good cells from being destroyed along with the cancer cells, by the invasive, toxic treatment that was to follow my husband’s surgery.
My husband began his EFA regime that very day, taking 3 Efamol Evening Primrose oil with 1 EPA-DHA Complex fish body oil three times a day. The supplements he was taking remained the same until after the surgery, as the Oncologists were already made aware of this information and had it on file. The next day, Paul went out of his way to come to our home and give my husband and I a more in-depth and informative explanation of his formula. Thus was our introduction to the natural health and wellness company, Melaleuca.
The day after his surgery my husband replaced the vitamin regime he had been taking with one of the natural source Melaleuca vitamin packages called Daily for Life, taken in conjunction with the EFA formula as recommended by Paul.
Although he was monitored carefully for common side effects of the treatments, he did not experience any sunburn-like redness or discomfort from the radiation as other patients we encountered were experiencing. When his Interferon treatment began, the Oncologist warned that he should anticipate loss of appetite, weight loss, fatigue, headaches, anxiety and body aches and recommended that he should not work full days, but if possible, work out of home so he could rest often. He experienced no weight loss or loss of appetite. In fact he put on weight. Anxiety, headaches and other symptoms were minimal in comparison to what was expected. He never missed a day of work once the treatments began.
Though no attention was ever drawn to the fact that my husband recovered from the surgery and treatment so well, we without a doubt, attribute his success to the combination of natural source EFA’s and supplements he was taking for the duration, and continues to take today.
Thank you Paul!
