Update: Month 4
I have taken some time to write about my dad’s progress, because we were going through a gloomy period. When all is said and done the disease and the diet itself is definitely challenging at times. We see cancer and death everywhere and it is very difficult to focus on the present. Having said that, the blues are an expected part of Gerson Therapy. It is our job to try and keep my dad’s mind occupied with happy, healthy thoughts. TODAY he’s definitely doing better now and we are working on a very positive future.
This months lab weren’t all too happy. Cholesterol, glucose and PSA reading went up and his blood pressure was at an all time high. The doctor in Mexico wasn’t concerned with his cholesterol and glucose level because they border on the high normal range and, as was explained before, it is natural for these readings to go up because the body is detoxing. He wasn’t all too concerned about his PSA reading either telling us that PSA readings are not all that “stable” and will read erratic at times. It is much better to consider an average. We will keep monitoring it. Other than the sadness, my dad has no other physical abnormality or pain, which leads him to be unconcerned about the PSA reading. However, his cause for alarm was that his blood pressure is not going down. Considering the diet, most people’s blood pressure drop in a matter of days or weeks. My dad has been on Gerson Therapy for almost 6 months and his blood pressure is not easing up. He has advised us to see if there might be a secondary cause. We are scheduled to go to both a cardiologist and nefrologist at the end of this month (January) and mid February. We will let you know how he progresses.
Progreso: Mes 4
Me he tomado el tiempo en escribir, porque estamos pasando por un periodo de gran pena. Cuando todo está dicho y hecho ésta enfermedad y la dieta, a veces, se ponen un poco difícil. Vemos cancer y muerte por todos lados y es difícil mantenerse en el presente. La pena, se espera en la terapia Gerson. Y mi mami y yo hacemos lo que podemos para mantener la mente de mi papi ocupada con pensamientos felices y saludables. HOY, definitivamente esta mucho mejor y esperamos un futuro mas positivo.
Los resultados de laboratorio no fueron muy buenos este mes. Su colesterol, glucosa y PSA subieron como también su presión. El doctor de México no esta preocupado por ninguno de los resultados porque nos dice que el colesterol y glucosa van a subir porque el cuerpo está en plena desintoxicación. Su PSA no es estable y es mejor considerar el promedio de meses. Además que mi papi no tiene dolores físicos entonces no es de preocupación. Lo que más le preocupa es su presión. Considerando la alimentación en la terapia Gerson, muchos pacientes bajan su presión en cosa de días o semanas. Después de casi 6 meses la presión de mi papi sigue en subida. Nos a sugerido llevar a mi papi a un cardiólogo y a un nefrólogo. Tiene hora a estos médicos a fin de este mes (enero) y a mitad de febrero. Les informaremos de su progreso.
Going Gerson!
