Hi Mary,

Some months ago I saw a program on the Discovery Channel about a neurosurgeon
named Dr. Black (I don't remember his first name) out in California who is
operating on brain tumors in people considered inoperable by numerous other
doctors. It's not much to go on, but it's something. He is also using other
techniques, such as vaccines made from the person's own tumor. He apparently
has success rates far beyond what anyone else has been able to accomplish.

Meanwhile, it seems prudent to consider the advice of following a low carb,
Paleo type diet. I also read about a clinic in Mexico treating cancer with
something called "Insulin Therapy", which amounts to a way of starving out
cancer by blocking the tumor's access to it's food supply- sugar.

I wish the best of luck to your friend and her son. Please keep us posted.
