I fell about 14 feet and landed on my left side. I laid there for a while before comeing too, then alerted my wife who took me to the hospital, and just to be on the safe side they did a cat scan to be sure I didn't have any internal injuries. During the cat scan they found a quarter sized groth on right kidney, and after further testing it was determined to be Cancer. My entire kidney was removed a month later, at which time the tumor had grown to 155mm in circumferance, and was within days of breakeing through the membrane which incapsulated the kidney. During the doctors first visit, the day after the surgery, my wife confronted him. as to what he ment when said he thought that he got it all, and to which she got less than a definative answer. After much searching and such my wife Mae Otto contacted Debbie Pearl whom we had met a couple of years earlier and asked what, if anything could be done to positivly affect a quality out come to the Doctors rather undefinative prognosis Debbie Pearl suggested echenacea. My wife ran out to a health food store and purchased a bottle and gave me 3 capsules, twice daily. In the meantime she harvested every purple cone flower she could get her hands on, and dried and ground the roots, and then filled her own capusels with the mixture she had prepared and I kept up with the doseage for two years. This may not work for everyone but it worked for me.

Debbie Pearl suggested echenacea. My wife ran out to a health food store and purchased a bottle and gave me 3 capsules, twice daily. In the meantime she harvested every purple cone flower she could get her hands on, and dried and ground the roots, and then filled her own capusels with the mixture she had prepared and I kept up with the doseage for two years.

This may not work for everyone but it worked for me.
