On this date, October, 15, 2010, I was experiencing some severe back pain after several days of eating mostly BBQ meat that was left over from a weekend neighborhood BBQ. I could not go to the bathroom for about 3 days and was suffering from a lot of pain. I ended up in the ER Room at the hospital where upon the doctor prescribed some medication to relieve the immediate problem. He also asked me about the last time I had a prostate exam. Some initial exams & blood tests were conducted and he told me that I may have prostate cancer and would schedule me for further testing for cancer.
After meeting with, and enduring a very painful biopsy by an Urologist, it was confirmed that I did in fact have prostate cancer. My PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen), used to measure the health of the male prostate, should have been below 4 to be considered healthy. My PSA was 160, which the Urologist immediately placed me in a Stage Four Cancer category.
The Urologist asked me how my relationship was with our Heavenly Father, because, Based on his experience and historically speaking , I would Not live more than 2 to 3 years. I told him that I had a lot of faith in our Heavenly Father and that I sincerely believed that God would walk with me through a cure or to the grave. Either way, I believed that I would win over cancer because of my Faith and Trust in Him! He said, Good, because you have a Monster growing inside of you and you’re going to need all of the help you could get!
Upon meeting with an Oncologist, he explained that during the next 15 to 30 months they would be able to get my PSA down and get my cancer under control through some monthly injections and shots. But, then my cancer would spread and I would have to undergo some Chemo and Radiation treatments. He said that the cancer would end my life within the three years.
The Oncologist suggested that I participate in a new, Experimental Program whereby Radiation and Chemo therapy would begin immediately to Get the Jump on the cancer. I politely told him that I wanted to wait on that pending further investigation on my part.
I called my longtime friends, Mike and Marty Saffell and told them what I had found out. Marty is a cancer survivor herself. They met with me and my family in my home and lovingly told me that first I would need to adopt a Vegan lifestyle! What the heck is a Vegan and what were they thinking? Who in their right mind would give up a wonderful life of eating Hamburgers, Fried Chicken, Pizza, Ice cream, not to mention Sodas, and eat ONLY Veggies every day? Hey, kill me already! Why didn’t they just point the gun directly at me and pull the trigger??? I was raised as a meat and potatoes kinda guy! And now they re expecting to make these radical changes in my lifestyle. Well anyway I did just that!
They also told me something that would really change my life! They told me about Shaklee, and the lifesaving supplements such as: Vivix, Nutriferon, Vitalizer, Vitamin D, and Pain Relief Complex(this really helped me get free of prescription drugs for pain).
I also joined a health club and began rigorous training with the treadmill, elliptical, and one more I call Big Yellow. That one really gives you a workout!
By December 2010, my PSA had dropped to 35. By March 2011, my PSA had dropped to .043 and I was downgraded to being in remission! All of these improvements because I changed my life through Christ Jesus, through adopting a Vegan lifestyle, through exercise, and through the wonderful and life-changing supplements of Shaklee! And listen to this, my Oncologist said that I was healthier than ALL of his cancer patients! How cool is that! Thank You Lord!
Currently, June 2011, my PSA is still below the level of 2. I was told that this is very good considering what I have been doing. I have NOT had any Chemotherapy nor Radiation treatments of any sort! Funny thing is that my Oncologist is still trying to encouraging me to take these treatments! What a Guy!
My story is one of many people who wanted to make a permanent change in their lives. I sincerely believe that the Shaklee products and receiving the tremendous support from my Shaklee Family has given me new hope, new direction, and the willingness to share my story with others so that they may have an opportunity to fight their particular illnesses. My faith in God and the direction he has given me has brought a deeper love and understanding of His amazing and never ending Grace.
