Kurt's Tumor

December 5th 2007 was one of the worst days of my life. I found out that my son Kurt, just 22 months old, has a brain tumor. To make things worse we found out that the tumor is inoperable. We spent the next 11 days in the hospital as Kurt had to undergo a biopsy and ventriculostomy. Kurt recovered fast from the procedures but the biopsy was not sucessful, it could not be determined what kind of tumor he has. His medical teams believes that the tumor is a pilocytic astrocytoma, which is a low grade, benign tumor. Having read Natural Cures I knew there had to be an alternative to the conventional treatments. One of the first treatments that I read about is the Budwig cottage cheese and flax seed oil treatment. We started him on this immediately, before we left the hospital. Almost everything on the menu was fried or microwaved. As soon as we got out of the hospital we put him on an organic diet full of fruits and vegetables (as many as a toddler will eat) and no processed food. Then we found out that tumors are glucose metabalizers and immediately took him off all refined sugars. For about three weeks we did the essiac tea; I read that it wasn't good to do it for long periods of time. Next we started giving him Tahitian Noni Juice. Kurt had an unbelievable amount of energy after drinking the Noni juice plus he loves it! He drinks about half a bottle a day. On Jan 15th he had another MRI and his tumor was unchanged; it isn't growing! About a week and a half ago we started giving him zeolite (Natural Cellular Defense); actually the whole family started taking it. We give zeollite to Kurtis because it activates the body's P21 tumor suppressor gene in cancer cells that it encounters. The whole family started taking zeolite for the detox benefits. Overall Kurt is a happy little boy, we just celebrated his second birthday!
