In April 2017 my dad was diagnosed with stage four prostate cancer. Stage four means that the cancer has spread to the bones and is according to medical doctors, incurable.
He had been using crutches for a long period before that, because of pain in the leg and hip. His doctor did at no time during this period test for prostate cancer. Not even when there was blood in the urine. Not before it was way too late.
In April 2017 he was unable to walk or stand up at all, Just sitting in a wheelchair with swollen legs and the urge of having to urinate every 15 minutes. Also during nighttime. My dad had lost 20 kilograms of weight.
So the doctors inserted a catheter.
Stage four prostate cancer.
Now. I have always been very skeptical about what treatment medical doctors suggest, especially when they in this case, have shown absolute zero competence. So in my opinion and with my google university knowledge, chemo therapy was out of the question. Luckily my dad felt the same way. He accepted the hormone treatment that was offered.
The pain in the leg was caused by a broken leg bone due to the cancer spreading to that area.
PSA levels was way over 1000...
I am fortunate to be married to a specialist in Amazon jungle medicine and by the time i recieved the sad message my spouse was traveling in that area. So the collecting of natural medicine began.
The doctors wanted to operate my dads leg bone, holding them together whith 40 cm steel plates. My spouse said 'No, the plant medicine will heal the bone, and your dad will walk again normally in one month. Just wait and see. And i am confident that the cancer is curable too, IF your dad does exactly what i tell him to do'.
Plant medicine treatment began immediately after my spouse returned earlier than planned with the suitcase full of plant medicine.
Also a strict diet plan was setup with absolutely no meat, pork, chicken or dairy products for one month. After that the plan would change again.
After two days, his swollen legs was gone.
After one week he could walk with crutches again. The bone was healing itself.
After one month he was walking around without crutches.
Today five months after, he is working in the garden without any pain. He has gained weight again and PSA level is 2.
Next step is to get rid of the catheter and be able to urinate normally again. Also will we try to get rid of his diabetes so he doesn't need pills.
I believe all is possible with correct food and jungle medicine. Exercise is also very important. That is something he will have to work with in the future.
Don't give up on fighting cancer, just because doctors say one thing. They don't know everything and are educated a different way than the curanderos, mapacheros and brujos of the jungles.
