Many thanks.&amp;nbsp;Sorry for what you and your&amp;nbsp;husband &amp;nbsp;are going through. You know &amp;nbsp;It amazing my father 83 and go&amp;rsquo;s snow skiing I&amp;rsquo;m 57 and two years ago I couldn&amp;rsquo;t even &amp;nbsp;walk down to the end of the street with out having to sit down. The pain in my body was like a dole tooth act but it was nothing compared to when I have cancer. My doctor told me it was CFS than I found out I had advance prostrate cancer seeing one doctor after another after it costing me $3000.00 for all there test and traveling to see them they told me that they couldn&amp;rsquo;t do any thing for me.&amp;nbsp;And then let me know &amp;nbsp;I had may be five years to live. The censer &amp;nbsp;pain was incredible I just wanted to die. but one day I went on the internet and I finely found some one who can help me. A naturopath Debby. She change my life with only a change of diet. No sugar. No red meat. lot of vegetables high dose vitamin C 6000mg a day. My pain stopped with in a week or so. I can now run down to the end of the street. but I still have cancer it slowly getting better my CFS is gone. For 15 years I had CSF I lost my business and my home all I needed to do was change my diet. And I now know &amp;nbsp;why. Debby told me diet and Saturated fats are the main cause of most cancer and it can be reversed by consuming natural fats to replace the saturated fats in the cells of our body &amp;nbsp;it can be done over time &amp;nbsp;I still ask why didn&amp;rsquo;t my doctors tell me. This. I now know &amp;nbsp;they were never &amp;nbsp;taught it. &amp;nbsp;Have you heard of the budwig dirt I&amp;rsquo;m on it now. All it is, is a table spoon of flack seed oil mix with cottage cheese and the other thing twice a day I have it on a slice of toast The article in this site will let you know more &amp;nbsp;http://www.cancertutor.com/Cancer/Budwig.html&amp;nbsp; please&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;don&amp;rsquo;t give up on him yet may God be with you and your&amp;nbsp;husband&amp;nbsp;Ray &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;</description>
