Ruta Graviola and Calcarea phosphate

Dear friends,

Its been a while since I last blog. Life hasn't been easy since Norman's craniotomy on 16th Feb. The recovery was good but there are some slight neurological deficit we have to put up with,mainly speech issues and short term memory loss.

We did a MRI on the 30th march and the report was not favorable.There is a big cyst about 3-4.8cm, lots of necrotic tissues and massive edema. The Dr put him on steriod and epilim for fits again. Sob! This is a real monster we are dealing with! There is no need for chemo untill the next MRI due on the 28th May. The oncologist will review him then.

Norman started the CAAT diet on the 1st April. So far he is keeping closely to the diet plan. In fact the people reviewed his food chart(which I chart everyday and send over to them) and they are very pleased with him. Will be commencing the supplements next week.

We received the ruta graviola and calcarea only yesterday. The herbs cost only USD25but the shipping charges cost USD35.50!! ohmigosh!! Its only 2 very tiny bottles and its not heavy at all! How come it cost so much for shipping? For friends who is not familiar with this herb, graviola is an extract from the sour sop plant. It has been extensively research by Dr Banerji of India and he claim that the success rate for brain tumour is very high.We are willing and desperate to try anything at this junture as we are not keen on chemo anymore.

May God bless and keep you in good health.

How has Graviola worked for you?
Was there any particular protocol you followed?

Hi,

My mom was diagnosed with GBM 4 months ago. Since them she has undergone surgery (mainly biopsy) and radiotherapy. Now she is on Temazolomide and other routine drugs. Now, I was researching Ruta 6 and see that so many people on the internet claim that it helped them. Your husband started graviola and Ruta 6 in 2009. So, did it work for you? Pls let me know.

Thanks :)
