latest pogo update

After reading my previous blog, I can see why it's been a month since I've done anything. Life has been pretty much the same as the previous blog. There have been some changes, mostly with diet. I am on special diet called the budwigs diet plan. It is designed to increase the health of all my cells and at the same time attack cancer cells. The main part of the diet is a mixture of organic low-fat cottage cheese thoroughly mixed with flax oil and freshly ground flaxseed. The first few I had was like eating ready mix concrete due to the consistency and it took about 45 minutes to choke it down. I think that's where the saying came from of shitting bricks, plus I needed a gallon water to get it down. After that, you really didn't feel like eating the rest of the day. But now we have it down to a science, after the initial mixture, we had organic sugar-free apple juice, along with berries and large juicy grapes which makes it a lot easier to eat. I also have to avoid sugar in any form, since cancer feeds off of sugar. Also processed foods in any form, animal protein, and dairy products. So what is left to eat, organic fruits and vegetables, rice, black beans, special types of foods that we have to pre-make. Surprisingly, we have quite a few recipes and have yet to have a bad meal yet. This diet plan has been around for over 50 years and has cured a lot of cancers. As an adjunct, I will also be starting a hydrogen peroxide regiment which is designed to get as much oxygen into the cells as possible. The protocol i will be following has also done wonders in curing cancer. I also take quite a few supplements, which also help with increasing oxygen and alkalinity to all of my cells. Since the tumors have not grown the doctors were okay with me just using the diet plan and not going through any chemo or radiation therapy, which I prefer to avoid, since chemo and radiation therapy will damage normal cells plus in the past when they did do radiation and chemo, the tumors actually grew. So as long as I'm feeling good and the next MRI in mid-December shows improvement, I will be sticking with this diet plan.

I am also no longer doing any physical or occupational therapy. The only therapy I do now is aqua therapy, and before I do that, I get on a stationary bike that works the arms and legs to help with my strength. But there is more i want to do on my own to increase my strength, especially my left arm which is about half the size my right arm. It looks like bone wrapped in skin, and still really doesn't do much but hang there. We are in the process of putting some handicapped rails on our stairs so I can get up to the second level of our home where I have a bow flex,so I can use my right arm to help assist my left arm in building up strength. With winter coming it is probably a good thing that I only have to get out two times per week for the aqua therapy, so it's up to me to improve on my own.

As far as the office goes, my son-in-law, Jack, was able to hook up my home computer with my office computer, which was a real lifesaver. So instead of working five hours on weekends I was now able to work about five hours a day. No wonder why i was never catching up. I am pretty much caught up on everything now and again that's one more place I don't have to get to with winter coming. My daughter Lisa, also organized the kitchen for an efficient office, so there is no more clutter on the kitchen table, plus we got it so organized that all I have to do is give my wife Sue a folder to drop off at the office once per week.

As usual, I am always in good spirits, and still never bored and still seem to be busy all the time. Part of the reason why I am busy all the time is that everything takes longer to do, but then again I'm not in a hurry. Most days are basically the same, I will do my office work in the morning and early afternoon, then get a late afternoon nap, followed by catching a movie or watching TV after 7 PM. On the weekends, there is football and fantasy football plus every so often there have been some social events such as weddings, birthday parties, seeing the tennis guys, friends and family coming over, playing games, among other things. Yesterday, which was that 70° day, we had some friends come over who's grandson had to do some community service, so we got all the leaves raked up, the grass cut, which had not been cut for several months, the gutters cleaned out, along with a few other odds and ends. So we are all set for winter and it gave me a chance to walk around outside a little bit.

So that's about it. I'm always open for company, just remember that I can't do lunch.

Based on the excitement of this blog, it may be a while until the next blog unless something exciting happens.
