Patrick’s Diagnosis and Initial Therapy
Patrick was diagnosed with a cancer of the brain – anaplastic astrocytoma – in 2003. He received care from top doctors and underwent the standard treatments, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation.
- Patrick’s diagnosis was a shock to him and his family.
- The doctors hoped he would recover after these procedures, but the tumor came back quickly.
“He had standard of care – surgery, radiation. The tumor returned quickly. That’s exactly what the doctor said would happen. We were told at the beginning – traditional medicine could not cure him. It could only buy him some time, that we should get our affairs in order – it (the disease) will take his life in 3 – 10 years.”
— Brenda, Patrick’s wife
Patrick’s Recovery through Alternative Treatment
His family discovered that there was no conventional therapy that could treat Patrick, so they went looking for another option. Patrick started the Sodium PBA protocol for 2 years, the tumor disappeared, leaving him stable and symptom-free for 10 years.
- Patrick’s family was desperate to find an alternative solution to conventional medicine.
- The alternative treatment protocol made significant changes to Patrick’s condition, reducing the tumor size and alleviating symptoms.
- Patrick became active and enjoyed the next 10 years of his life, virtually symptom-free.
