Indeed, there might be a remnant, too small for ultrasound to detect, re-

been better. But she had money to save and ultrasounds are much, much
cheaper. She could do the CT scan at home with fresh resources. The radi-
ologist here could see no tumors. It suggested disappearance.
Several more blood tests showed some ups and downs. Malonic acid
continued to be Positive, while uric acid bottomed out at 0.6, and calcium
and potassium stayed low. The parathyroids had been targeted possibly due
to their nearness to the tooth restorations.
We prevailed on her to stay a little longer; she was still getting sensa-
tions in the breast. Staphylococcus aureus was still in her lymph nodes. She
consented to a panoramic X-ray of her mouth to search for cavitations. Sev-
eral were easy to spot. The dentist cleaned them.
We took her off IVs on July 3 to see if the tumor would reappear. Her
thirty days were up, but her personal intuition prevailed. She extended her
stay for two weeks. She could now enjoy her days without being hooked up
to an IV bag. Six days later, July 9, her blood test showed significant im-

dards.
We decided to do a complete heavy metal test. It turned up zirconium
Positive; aluminum Positive; aluminum silicate Positive; D-malic acid Posi-
tive at both breast and lymph node. The battle was not won. The implication
was porcelain. She called her family for permission to change the porcelain
