HELENE HENDRIXSON: CANCER SURVIVOR
(- 4 -)
Helene grew increasingly disturbed by what she viewed
as ineptness and insensitivity on the part of the NCI
researchers. It seemed as though they felt that the
patient was only there as a convenience to their
research. How could they destroy a biopsy sample? Didn’t
they realize a patient had to undergo surgery to harvest
the tissue and that a second surgery would be required
to replace the damaged sample? Why did it seem that they
were not being candid? Why did they seem so intent on
treating her like a lab rat rather than a human being?
All these factors contributed to her growing unease.
So, too, did their insistence that she receive
chemotherapy.
Her concern over the prospect of chemotherapy was
heightened by what her doctor told her about the
treatment. “Once you begin chemotherapy, your ‘death
clock’ starts running.” Without chemotherapy, he said,
she might actually survive longer. If this were true,
why were they so insistent that she undergo a treatment
that might actually reduce her chances for survival?
More important, it seemed as though the combination
of cesium and concentrated aloe vera were doing the job.
As a result, the NIH experiment was looking less
attractive every day.
By May, just one month after beginning the High pH
Therapy, she noticed that the lumps in her lymph nodes
were going down. As this process continued over the
following year, Helene became hopeful. In fact, by April
of 1998 – twelve months after initiating the High pH
Therapy – the swollen lymph nodes had completely
disappeared. But still, she had to be sure it was the
cesium and aloe vera, so she decided to take a risk.
Helene stopped taking the supplements, and within a few
days, her tumors began to reappear.
She began taking the cesium and aloe vera concentrate
again. Within two days, the tumors were gone.
