<< All Prostate Cancer Survivors

My first experience with Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) was many years ago when my dad was a patient there. Little did I realize then that I would end up there later on. Thanks be to God and His own wonderful people there along with the nutritional and spiritual filled means of reconditioning the entire body that it seems many other hospitals lack even knowledge of. There is such devastation out there, because of the professional ignorance concerning cancer and many other conditions.

My chief interest is in providing others more than positive hope, but the possibility of overcoming these hurtful prognoses that do not have to be true. I have seen, experienced, and am acquainted with many others who are their own living miracle because they went beyond their physician’s usual treatment plan and explored other options.

Before I was diagnosed with cancer, I had critical, non-healing, manic-depressive illness and was hospitalized three times over a four period. My doctor at the time said nutrition supplementation would not help my condition. When I found out I had cancer I went beyond three doctor’s usual procedures and ran to Cancer Treatment Centers of America at Midwestern Regional Medical Center in Zion, Illinois. My depression illness really severe following the loss of our son in a tragic car accident, and I later found out the treatment I was receiving included drugs which are now known to cause suicide and deepen depression. These drugs may also increase the formation of tumors, which could explain my unusually fast, mushrooming, prostate cancer.

At CTCA, I had the same doctor as my father, Dr. Sanchez. He wasn’t going to operate, but just provide radiation only due to my depressed condition. I asked him what he would recommend if it wasn’t for my condition and he said to have it surgically removed. I met with another physician at CTCA who changed my medication from the dangerous SSRI anti-depressants and started me on nutritional supplements and foods. I had the surgery and became highly energetic even to Dr. Sanchez’s observations. I came back to CTCA for radiation in late 1997-1998 and started my new life, business, sports - and all of this after I had been put out to pasture.

My desire is to help others who have been told wrongly that we have done all there is available for these conditions. The body, mind and spirit can be rebuilt, and CTCA is the place to start a new life.
