I'm 50, I'm happy, I'm reportedly terminal, but don't believe I'm any more terminal than anyone else. I'm married, I have 2 kids 21 and 16. I've been doing well, but can feel myself slipping a bit and looking for some input or to share. If no one can help me, I am sure I can help someone. I mean, why should everyone go through the same mistakes and why shouldn't everyone share in the same triumphs if we are all fighting cancer? Make sense to me. I look forward to this site as I...

Hello! It's great to be here. I turn 50 on April 5th and 14 months ago I was diagnosed with HCC Stage IV, given 6 months as a good prognosis and decided that now I knew what the problem was, I would let them ablate the 5 cm tumor that was causing me pain and discomfort and then I went straight to CAMS.

I feel good about my decision. I am doing fine. I am at a point now that I would absolutely like to get my PH balance up to 7.8 but unfortunately it is illegal for doctors here to use bicarbonate IV through the portal vein or hepatic artery or feeder veins to give the tumors a good dose of crazy oxygen.

I've thought of doing it myself, but I don't think I can handle much more than maybe a 400 m/l drip once a day for 5 or 6 days, which should raise my PH on the whole high enough to do some damage to the tumors.

I keep trying ways to get it up to 7.8, but I'm at 4.8 now and that is also low enough to slow down the growth, but not do any real and lasting damage to the tumors. I keep getting up to 6.5, but I know that's the high end of the "sweet spot" for tumors to actually proliferate.

So, I'm kind of stuck.

And it kind of sucks, because I have, through trial and error, developed a regimin of CAMS that have let me live twice as long and feel twice as good as I did when I was first diagnosed, so I'm a bit peeved that a totally non-dangerous alternative I want to try simply can't be legally done by a doctor here.

At least not as a cancer cure. I may be able to convince a new doctor of acidosis or acute stomach acid problems and get the treatment on the QT... but it is distateful to to trick a doctor into giving you something that is so easy and cheap and may be very effective on me.

I haven't tried oral bicarbs like Alka Seltzer Plus and the like after I tried some concentrated products containing bicarbs that could only get me up to 6.5 and there I stick and get sicker because I can tell the tumors are having a party at that PH level.

Any ideas on a fast way to get to a short term 7.8 for optimal destruction of tumors and then maintain a level in the 7s?

I do well with diet and all that. I just can't push it above 6.5 and I'm better off at the 4.8 if I can't get into the upper 7s.

Thank you all and may health be with you...

Marvin
