THE TRUE STORY OF...
much better. The pain over his pancreas was gone, but it remained over the
right side (liver). A new blood test and ultrasound were ordered.
In spite of his obvious improvement—he was eating now in the dining
room, taking short walks and socializing—his blood test results were worse
[to be expected as tumors drain, but dismaying at that time].
At the time I did not know the relationship between bilirubin and afla-
toxin. In our joy at seeing him eat, I could not advise against the pancakes
and maple syrup he always had for breakfast. He was somehow getting a lot
of aflatoxin or food dye [actually, from his tumors]. All the liver enzymes,
especially GGT, were elevated (870). His RBC was not yet correct, due to
persisting vanadium in his teeth. [The dental plastic problem is apparent
soon after the amalgam has been changed to composite; it too contains va-
nadium.] Creatinine was
much too low.
He felt fine, though.
His pain-free periods
were quite long, although
pain still disturbed his
sleep. Best of all, his
ultrasound of the pan-
creas showed further
shrinkage of his tumor to
3.25 x 3.5 cm. The larg-
est of the liver tumors
was now only 3.3 x 2.65
cm.
All this good news
led him to one conclu-
sion: that he could go
home for Easter with his
family. As much as he
argued that he could, I
argued that he couldn’t.
He agreed to stay one
more week and repeat the
blood test and ultra-
sound. During this time,
several toxicities were
inexorably at work. He
was continuing to eat
aflatoxined food (moldy
grain), driving his liver
enzymes and bilirubin up. Malonate inhibited the Krebs cycle and possibly
the urea synthesis cycle. But other things were improving; vanadium was
leaving his red blood cells (RBC) and globulin was declining.Apr. 12 pancreas and liver
