Cervical Cancer
CASE 1 – Madam LAS (Cervical)
Madam LAS presented to us in 2015 with very advanced cervical cancer, complicated by multiple organ impairment. She had a huge cervical tumour which filled the entire pelvis, and the lower half of the abdomen, invading into the bladder, bowel, adjacent vagina and the pelvic side wall. She was bleeding heavily, and her haemoglobin had dropped to 7 g/dL. She had bilateral ureteric obstruction with hydronephrosis, and obstructive uropathy. This patient was turned away from hospitals in Jakarta and Penang and deemed terminal, with only palliative treatment offered.
After initial resuscitation with blood transfusion, and with the help of a urologist, she had bilateral ureteric stenting. As the renal function improved over the next few days, she was also started on high dose IVC. She was planned for radiotherapy, and a very reluctant radiotherapy oncologist only agreed to offer a palliative dose of 10 fractions totaling 20 Gy. With the combined treatment she showed dramatic improvement and the oncologist was persuaded to continue the radiotherapy for a full radical dose. At the completion of treatment, the patient regained most of her health, and by the third month, her cancer was in complete remission. Her only residual side effect was a small uterovesical fistula from the radiotherapy.
In most treatment centres in the world, such patients would be considered incurable with the treatment centering on palliation. An integrative approach here has enabled us to push the boundaries of healing by using the best of the technological advancements in radiotherapy and the powerful benefits of the healing strategies through an integrative approach.
CASE 2 – MDM. EH 38 YO (Stage 3B)
Madam EH was a 38-year-old mother of three children who was diagnosed with stage 3B cervical cancer and underwent treatment in Singapore.
As the cancer was very advanced, she was given two courses of chemotherapy followed by a full radical dose of radiotherapy and low-dose chemotherapy. The cancer showed good response and she had returned to her home country of Indonesia. Unfortunately, within five months of completing her treatment she started to have her vaginal bleeding and severe lower pelvic and abdominal pain. She also had severe pain during micturition (urination) and on passing motion. She contacted her doctors in Singapore and was told that her cancer is no longer treatable and advised her to seek palliative care.
After two months of suffering in agony she came to the Healing Zone to consider alternative treatment options. During the first consultation she was in extremely severe pain and was already on multiple analgesics including morphine.
Clinical examination and MRI revealed recurrent cancer in the pelvis which was very large and extending into the pelvic sidewall. She was carefully counselled the merits of using an integrative approach.
Over the next one week she underwent a series of treatments consisting of nutritional balancing, high-dose intravenous vitamin C, vitamin B-17 and alkalinization. Her response to this treatment was pretty dramatic and within a few days her pain was very well controlled and by the end of the week she was able to go off all her analgesics. She went back to Indonesia and returned three weeks later to do another round of the same treatment. Even at this juncture she had shown dramatic reduction in tumour size and cessation of bleeding and discharge.
By the end of the third month from the start of the integrative DRV protocol she was in complete remission and was able to return to a normal life.
DISCUSSION This was a truly remarkable case where advanced cervical cancer had failed to be controlled using conventional therapy and considered only a candidate for palliative care. However, the powerful healing-based therapies were able to not only reverse cancer but also reverse most of the radiation damage to the pelvis and vagina. This is truly remarkable event as it was possible to convert the palliative case into a curative situation.
CASE 3 – MDM MKF
Madam MKF was referred to me by a gynaecologist colleague. Madam MKF had been presented with an abnormal pap smear and a biopsy confirmed severe cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia grade 3. She was a single lady. At this time, she was counseled for a cone biopsy of the affected lesion. HPE confirmed a full thickness CIN grade 3 and the margins were clear. Unfortunately, within six months of the surgery she presented with another abnormal Pap smear. Again, this showed high grade cellular abnormalities. For a second time she underwent a cone biopsy excision. The histopathology again showed she had full thickness involvement, but the margins were clear.
Unfortunately for her, less than six months after the second surgery she again had high-grade cellular abnormalities.
It was at this point that she was referred to the Healing Zone for a second opinion as she was not willing to undergo a hysterectomy as was advised by her treating gynaecologist.
The healing-based therapy used by Madam MKF consisted of high-dose vitamin C, vaginal ozonation and nutritional optimization. Within three months, a repeat Pap smear showed that the high-grade intraepithelial lesions had resolved completely. But more remarkably, there was also considerable restoration of the cervical anatomy because the two prior surgeries had removed a substantial chunk of the cervix.
She has remained under our surveillance for nine years and has had no recurrence of the cervical pathology. She is now married and has conceived a child.
DISCUSSION Madam MKF underwent a typical management of abnormal Pap smear but unfortunately because she had high-grade HPV infection the problem kept recurring. Unfortunately, she did not get the benefit of powerful anti-viral therapy, for instance high dose intravenous vitamin C and Ozone. HEALING based therapies have an important role to be used as a first line therapy for similar lesions in young women who are desirous of retaining their productive potential. If, as was suggested by the treating gynaecologist she had undergone hysterectomy at an early age in the 30s she would’ve completely lost the opportunity for procreation.
