Hi My Name is Greg Matthews I have multiple myeloma

by greg matthews on Tue Jan 17, 2012 10:07 pm

Hi; I am under going treatment for multiple myeloma, i am 49 years young feb the B-day so i might as well say 49 lol.
I was stage 1mm in 2010 did autologus transplant in May 2011, They tell me i am in remission. The first doctor in TN said i was stage 3, my second opinion from ctca they said iI was stage 1. CTCA is treating me. Dec 28th 2010 was when i was diagnoised. Jan 2011 I went to ctca. I have not looked back. But as I research and i do alot i am learning, I am on the virg of stopping chemo(maintenance dose) I am looking at alternate cures yes i said cure. I will continue to research, but the natual ways sem to make so much more since to me. In my opinion.

To many findings of banned alternate cures in this country. My life my choice i feel on how i want to fight this. I have been trained all my life doctors know best. Well maybe so but why do most Dr. elect to not let their family members go through these treatments they give us. Why did a President go to germany and was cured and chemo was not used.

Hi Greg, I am also Greg Matthews. There is an interesting little company in Australia that has been running some trials on a Monoclonal Antibody to kill multiple myeloma. It is called Immune System Therapeutics (IST) - it was formerly called Pac-Mab. I have an investment in it (it is an unlisted company) and I am not recommending the company as an investment but it might be worth you doing some research on it as a potential cure. Cheers Greg

Hi Greg,

I was recently diagnosed with multiple myeloma. I've seen one oncologist who is recommending treatment with Velcade, Dexomethasome and Zometra. I have been on a juice diet dor 2 weeks and my pain is much better. I see another doctor for a second opinion tomorrow. I too am looking for a cure through natural means. I will listen to what the doctors are suggesting but I have been made aware of other approaches which the medical profession doesn't put much credence in. Please keep me aware of anyting you might find that looks interesting.

Best Wishes,
Ed
