The
following from Kristen's Niece
I, Anita (owner of this below blog) just want to say a huge THANK YOU to my aunt for doing the research, for having the courage to cure cancer in this manner, and for her willingness to share it with others. You’re amazing!
About two years ago when I heard the news, that my aunt Kristin had an advanced stage of lung cancer, I was devastated. Everyone who knows her was too. My family immediately started praying for her and offered to help in any way we could. When she announced that she was going to try some alternative therapies I remember thinking that it may just save her life. Here two years later she is cancer free! And we are all beyond grateful. Below she shares her story. Feel free to share this with others who may benefit.

Here is
her write up of her journey:
Hi
Guys smile emoticon This is something
I've been meaning to do for a long time. I have
finally written up my success story and done a pretty
thorough write up of my "hat" of exactly
what I did including cost and phone numbers etc. Now,
when people ask me for advice, I'll be able to give
this to them. It's a pretty long though, so you'll
have to be pretty interested to get through it!
Certainly I don't expect you to read a 6 page post!
Just remember that it's here in case you ever want to
share it with someone. You guys already pretty much
know the whole story and the happy ending. Lots of
Love to you. Thank you Chris
Daino for encouraging me to get this
DONE!! Now I can move on to the next chapter smile

My Cancer Success Story by Kristin
Garrett
Cancer is not a death sentence!
Today is June 20, 2015. It’s a
little past my 2 year anniversary of
"survival". That’s a big deal since cancer
survival rates are measured by the 2 year mark and the
5 year mark. I am happy to say that I recently had a
CT scan with contrast and I am cancer free! I feel
great. I work well over 40 hours every week and I am
getting my life back to normal. It’s been quite an
adventure.
People often want to know what my
successful actions were. I am writing this so that
everyone can know what I know and hopefully this will
help someone have the same success as I have had.
As I write this I’m a little
nervous. There have been a few doubters in my life and
these people can definitely create some feelings of
insecurity. However, my story is just too good and too
important not to share it with the world. If I can
help someone then it’s worth any social challenges I
may face with difficult people. Dr Lyons said it best:
"If I’m not successful at saving you then
people are going to say that "Kaqun" (I will
define this later) doesn’t work. If I cure your
cancer, people will say you never had cancer in the
first place. We can’t go around worrying about what
other people think."
When I first got diagnosed, two years
ago, I was completely overwhelmed with grief and
terror. It took me a couple of weeks to get my head on
straight. I had just lost 2 of my best friends to
conventional "treatment". I was there from
their time of diagnosis. I watched them deteriorate
before my eyes and I was there the night before each
of my friends died.
I had been experiencing difficulty
breathing for 3 years. I was coughing all the time. I
thought I had asthma and then I thought I had
emphysema. I couldn’t breathe on walks. I am a
singer and I couldn’t sing anymore without coughing
in the middle of a song. Then, I developed a pain in
my upper back that would not go away. Pretty soon it
was hurting me so bad that I was in tears and I told
my husband that something must be very wrong.
I went to the Chiropractor and he had
me do an x-ray, and then a cat scan and then
eventually a PET scan—which is where they inject you
with radio-active sugar and then look at your whole
body in a MRI-like machine. Cancer eats sugar, so the
cancerous areas light up like a road map from space.
Turns out I had a huge tumor in my left lung 8cm
long(!) and metabolically active lymph nodes on both
sides of my neck. Lung cancer usually moves upwards
through the lymph nodes then onto the brain. Luckily,
things hadn’t gone that far for me.
After I recovered from the shock of
the news, and again, I stress that it was 2 WEEKS…..Here
are some suggestions for anyone who has just been
diagnosed:
I say this because I don’t think anyone should go to
an oncologist right when they find out they have
cancer because it’s such an emotionally charged time
and it’s so confusing and overwhelming.
You have to be strong and have good
information so that you can make wise decisions. This
is your life we are talking about here. I promise you,
an oncologist will tell you that you have to do chemo
right away and that natural cancer cures do not work.
Cancer took years to grow to the point where it can be
detected by modern medicine, and in most cases, it can
wait a few days more while you figure out your
strategy. There are lots of new therapies too like
gene therapy and virus therapy, etc.
I have several friends who are breast
cancer survivors and they all did chemo and/or
radiation and surgery, etc. They all feel great about
the decisions they made for themselves. This is in no
way meant to be an invalidation of them. Everyone
should have the right to choose how they treat their
own bodies. I respect that. I wish them continued good
health. This is my story though and not theirs. I am
not an expert and I am not here to judge anyone or
prove anything, or argue. I am sharing what worked for
me.
The most important thing to do is to
take time off for yourself and calm down. Take a lot
of walks. Get a lot of rest. Eat a lot of healthy
vegetables. Go outside and get some sunshine. If you
love the beach, go to the beach. Stop eating sugar
& dairy immediately. Take a leave from work if
work stresses you out. If not, keep working. Your
doctor can write a letter so that you can go on
disability and still get your paycheck while you
figure things out. I didn’t do this, because I didn’t
know I could and wish I would have known.
Don’t allow people to come and spend
time with you unless you really want them there in
your heart of hearts. This isn’t a time for manners
or making others feel okay about what’s happening.
Believe me, the weirdest people will come out of the
closet and suddenly everyone is a cancer expert. They
want you to know how bad they feel or how scared they
are. I surrounded myself with my best friends and
family only. One of my friends wrote email updates for
me. Some cooked me healthy meals. Others took walks
with me, etc. I was lucky enough to have neighbors
that I prayed with every day and it brought me a sense
of peace. It allowed me to sleep.
If you need some help to get to sleep,
do it. Get some sleep serum from the website REALLY
GOOD STUFF. This will knock you out. Don’t let
yourself be sleep deprived.
You are going through the worst
personal news possible. You are training for the most
stress you’ll probably ever have to face in your
life. Sure, there are worse things than cancer, and
kudos to those who have survived worse things- like
learning that their kid is missing or terminally ill
or something like that—but I am talking about
getting the news that you have cancer right now.
Of course, I did go see an oncologist
and he told me that I had a 50% chance of surviving
for 5 years IF I did radiation, chemo and then a
surgery. I asked him what would happen if I did not do
any of those things and he said I would die. I asked
him if he knew anyone who had refused that treatment
and how long they lived? He said he did not know
anyone because they were all dead.
I saw all sorts of things on the
internet. I checked out the Gerson Therapy, and other
natural healing methods. I watched videos by Kris Carr—the
Crazy Sexy Cancer Thriver. I highly recommend reading
her blog and being inspired by her story whether you
have cancer or not. There are some very cool cancer
clinics in Tijuana and Germany. I visited one called
Sonoviv. If I had had the money, I would have gone to
one of those places for their programs, but I was flat
broke and I didn’t have any credit cards. I also
didn’t have health insurance. Most of the clinics
cost upwards of $1,000 a day.
I traveled to Clearwater Florida and
met with Dr Minkoff. He is awesome and is treating
cancer naturally. I was very inspired after my visit
with him. I could not afford to do his program either,
but I would highly recommend it. I also wondered into
Dr Charles Kwang’s office in Los Angeles one day
when I was particularly freaked out and he calmed me
down and told me that I was not going to die and that
cancer was totally and completely treatable. I didn’t
do his detox program through.
My goal was to find someone who had
survived cancer and was living and doing well, without
doing Chemotherapy. I called upon all of my friends to
find people who I could talk to me. I didn’t want to
talk to someone who knew someone who knew someone. I
wanted the real deal. I finally found ONE PERSON. He
was a patient of Dr Nicholas Gonzalez, in New York. He
does enzyme therapy. That person gave me hope that
something was out there. He gave me strength to
continue to look for answers.
A good friend insisted I read the
book:
CANCER FREE, YOUR GUIDE TO GENTLE NON TOXIC HEALING.
By Bill Henderson and Dr Garcia.
I read that book cover to cover and I did the WHOLE
PROGRAM IN THE BOOK. I also recommended the book to a
friend’s sister who was diagnosed with lymphoma, she
did the whole program, and guess what? She made a full
recovery too!! I cannot say enough good things about
this book. This book will tell you everything you need
to know to get rid of cancer and give you a detailed
description of every natural healing method out there.
I think everyone should just read it. It’s like
doing a CPR class. Sooner or later, with 3 out of 5
people being diagnosed with cancer, you’re going to
need the information contained in this book.
After reading the book, I chose not to
have a biopsy done. The reason I chose this is because
I believe that puncturing a tumor with a needle is a
great way to spread cancer throughout one’s body. I
knew for sure that I would not be subjecting myself to
Chemo so there was no reason for me to find out what
"type" of cancer I had so that the
oncologists could figure out what "type"
chemical therapy they would prescribe for me. This is
controversial to say the least, but I knew I was doing
the right thing.
My Chiropractor, Dr. Alf Garbutt, told
me that he had a met a doctor from Hungary who was
treating cancer patients with oxygen water. He told me
that that’s what he would do if he had cancer
himself, or if his daughter was diagnosed with cancer
he would send her there. He said the doctor had a 65%
success rate. I was really skeptical. That doctor, who
turned out to be Dr Robert Lyons, happened to be in
Los Angeles the next month for a seminar. I went to
his seminar and I met him. He put his hands on my
shoulders and he looked into my eyes with a lot of
intention and he told me to go home and pack my bags
and meet him in Hungary. He was going to save my life.
I listened to him. I went home and my husband and I
booked a flight to Hungary the next day.
I did his program it’s called KAQUN
water. It’s water that has had the some of the
hydrogen removed, so it’s no longer H20. It
oxygenates the body. It boosts the immune system so
that the body can handle cancer cells naturally. You
drink the water, and you bathe in it for 3 one-hour
sessions each day for 12 weeks. You can go to Google
and you can look up Dr Robert Lyons and Kaqun. You can
see my other doctor, and his partner, Dr Sandor Kulin.
I did a very extensive nutritional
program with my Chiropractor, Alf Garbutt, in Tujunga,
CA. 818 248 5570. I have never taken so many
supplements in my life. I took them with me to Hungary
and I did that program concurrently with the baths.
I stayed on the Budwig diet recommended in the book
Cancer Free Your Guide to Gentle Non Toxic Healing for
1 ½ years. In the book, Bill Henderson lays out a
huge vitamin program. I took all of those vitamins.
I noticed that some of the people at
the baths continued to eat sugar and drink beer and
eat bread. A couple of those people are no longer with
us today. I cannot be sure that their diets affected
their survival, but I know that cancer eats sugar.
That’s a fact. If you want to starve cancer cells
you can’t be feeding them sugar. Bread turns to
sugar. Same goes for alcohol.
People ask me again and again about
the cost of each thing I did, so I am including the
prices here. The airfare costs between $1,000 and
$2,500 round trip depending on when you buy your
ticket. You can stay somewhere for about $50 US a day.
Food is the same cost as here. Lots of people speak
English and it is not hard to get around.
The baths cost between $80 and $100 a
day total—not each bath, depending on which facility
you go to. You will do three baths a day for two weeks—that’s
42 baths so that is $1400. Then, you have a 10-day
break. You can do whatever you want during the break.
It’s a great chance to see Europe - there is a lot
to do. I did three "rounds" of baths on my
first trip. A round is two weeks. Three rounds of
baths is going to cost you $4,200. The doctor might
want you to do four rounds, etc.
I also did a form of radiation called
Onco-Thermia. I did about 20 sessions of that. I
copied and pasted the Wikipedia on Onco-Thermia below
to explain what that is. I paid about $100 cash US
each time I did it. So that was $2,000. This is a very
gentle form of radiation and there are no burns
involved. It cooks the tumor from the inside out.
Unfortunately, the doctor who had that machine had it
taken away by the Hungarian version of the FDA. I
think there are still some places that have it in
Germany and in Canada. I really think this was a very
integral part of my recovery.
Half way through the program, Dr Lyons
told me that we were going to do another pet scan. He
said that if things hadn’t changed dramatically,
that even he would suggest I go home and do Chemo and
come back. He said that the baths with Chemo work very
well together and that the side effects would not be
bad, etc. I told him there was no way I was doing
that, but we made a deal I would listen to him if push
came to shove. Luckily for me, I continued to have
stellar progress and each scan was better and better
so I never had to do that. I saw other people do chemo
after the baths and they seemed to do very well.
I also did an oxygen suppository
program. It was originally developed to cure AIDs
believe it or not. It’s not widely known about in
Europe or in the US. It’s kind of a hidden thing,
probably because it’s so expensive for most people.
It’s $8,000 a month. The suggested dose is a
three-month regimen. I could only afford to do one
month. I feel that this was very effective too.
I went to biological dentist, who is
a special dentist, and I had all of my mercury
fillings removed and replaced with composite fillings.
I went to a dentist here in the US for an estimate and
she was going to charge over $15,000 to handle my
teeth. I know there are good dentists in Mexico who do
this for around $5,000 instead. I had my dental work
done in Hungary while I was there. Europeans actually
travel to Hungary for dental "vacations"
because Hungary is known for its quality inexpensive
dental work. I am not sure that the work I had done is
the greatest, honestly. So I will just say that you
should do your research about this. Again, all of this
is covered in detail in the book, Cancer Free…
The only way I was able to afford all
of this "alternative" treatment was by the
graces of the good people I have come to know over the
course of my lifetime. Many family and friends donated
money to my cause through a Go Fund Me Site set up by
one of my co-workers. Jaynee Thorne of Starlight
Concerts set up a concert and fundraising raffle
through Sweet Relief and many musician friends played
there. People donated things for the raffle, there was
even a Martin Guitar. I could not be there of course,
because I was in Hungary. My boss donated his frequent
flyer miles for our airfare all three trips. In all,
$27,000 was raised and that was enough to get me
through these past couple of years of treatments.
Since then, I have made it a priority to save money
aside for an emergency and I have been able to donate
money for others to go to the baths.
I have been to Hungary 3 times now.
The first time was in June 2013 for four rounds of
baths. The next time was April 2014 for three rounds
and most recently I was there for two rounds of baths
and I just got back to the US on April 22, 2015. I
will probably continue to go each year to ensure that
I stay healthy and cancer free. I believe that Cancer
is a chronic condition rather than an acute one and it
takes daily action to stay healthy just like diabetes.
I believe that the symptoms of cancer can be reversed
and controlled for a life time.
I truly believe that the ADULT ONSET
OF CANCER IS STRESS. (I am not talking about babies
who are born with a brain tumor etc). You have to get
the stress out of your life. Stress suppresses your
immune system and allows bad things to happen in your
body. You must address the emotional component of why
you would get cancer in the first place. As I said
before, I prayed A LOT with my neighbors and people
from everywhere prayed for me and that is so powerful.
The bright side of all of this is that cancer brought
me back to God and some of the religious values that I
was raised with as a child. I am still exploring this
part of my life right now.
I also got about 20 hours of Dianetic
Counseling. I did this at the Church of Scientology
Mission of the Foothills in Montrose CA. 818 957-1500.
I realize that Scientology isn’t for everyone, but
it works for me, and I really discovered and explored
some core reasons for my illness. I was able to work
through a lot of emotional trouble I was having.
Whatever your belief system may be, you must address
the emotional crisis that allowed your immune system
to be compromised in the first place. I think this is
the key to true healing.
I have relaxed quite a bit on my diet
since I got a clean bill of health. I wouldn’t
suggest doing this though! After all, cancer should be
treated as a chronic situation and really it’s not
that hard to stay away from sugar and animal products!
I’m really trying to stay on the program I’ve been
on that helped me regain my health. I also continue to
get IV therapy and ozone therapy at Oasis Medical
Center in Montrose California, 818 957-6909. I eat at
Whole Foods a lot! I try to have green juice every
day. I also did coffee enemas for a short time there,
and I found that to be very helpful. I plan to
continue those as well. All of this is covered the
book.
Lastly, I continue to drink a bottle
of Kaqun water every day. Studies show that when you
drink the Kaqun water your vitamin C levels stay
extremely high, which could be why it helps to keep
cancer cells down. Normally when I go to the doctor my
oxygen level is a consistent 98 or even 99. I skipped
the water for a week, and the other day when I went to
get an IV my oxygen level was 96. The water is
imported from Hungary. It’s $15 a bottle unless you
buy 100 at a time, then the price goes down $11 each.
Most of that cost is just shipping and delivery. The
water is only $2 a bottle when you're Hungary.
Hopefully they'll get a plant over here sometime
soon.
Thanks for reading this! I wish you a
long, healthy and happy life!! Please feel free to
share this with anyone you think would benefit from
reading it.
Love

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Oncothermia
Oncothermia, i. e. the modulated deep electro-hyperthermia
system is a fast-developing supportive, complementary
treatment method against different types of tumors.
The principles are based on the classical method of
hyperthermia, but the aim, beside the absolute
increase in temperature, is especially the direct
electric-field energy absorption in the extracellular
liquid and destroying the membrane of the cancer
cells. Oncothermia's effect is synergic to
radiotherapy and to numerous chemotherapies.
Furthermore, it leads to an increased immunogenicity
and effectively reduces the pain of the patient.
Hyperthermia has been described as the "oldest
identified weapon against cancer."[1]
It has been used since at least 1989.[2]
Oncothermia in general is not used as sole therapy. It
is usually combined with chemotherapy, radiotherapy or
other therapies and their combination. The method
transfers energy using the principle of capacitive
coupling (like a condenser) of radio waves of
13,56-MHz. No external shielding is needed.
Oncothermia utilizes the special absorption rate of
the near-membrane extracellular liquid of the tumor.
The tumor tissue has lower impedance than the
surrounding tissues, so most of the energy is
transmitted and absorbed by the cancerous lesion. This
selection of the tumour tissues (self-focusing)
renders external focusing unnecessary.
Oncothermia achieves a permanent increase of the
temperature in the extracellular liquid of the tumour
tissue. Due to the constant energy-supply, a
temperature gradient (temperature drop) between the
extra- and intracellular electrolytes develops until
the thermal equilibrium is reached at the end of the
therapy. This (in absolute numbers very low)
temperature difference acts on the likewise small
distance through the cellular membrane (from extra- to
intracellular) and that leads to a destabilizing
thermal stress on the membrane of the tumour cells,
leading those into necrosis or apoptosis
