A trip to the hospital in Zacapa

Just about to start
An update. The ultrasound I had a few days ago did not show any irregularities however the bleeding did not stop after taking medication so the doctor decided to cauterize. I checked into the hospital Friday morning and the urologist operated Friday afternoon. The camera, as I watched, revealed more growth in the same place and a small pinprick which was bleeding so he cut off the whole growth as well as about half a centimeter into the bladder and then cauterized the whole wound.
The operation lasted about one and a half hours and was successful. The doctor strongly recommends radiation therapy because the area of concern is only about 1" in diameter and they have the sophisticated equipment in Guatemala City to do this without affecting other internal organs. In other words the radiation is concentrated and affects only that small diameter circle. At this point I believe it would be foolish of me to reject this option which I hope to combine with the ingestion of large quantities of marijuana oil. As a matter of interest I seem to have accidentally grown some sinsemilla and intend to make some oil from this as a test project. Later I hope to dry the pulp from the mangosteen fruit and put this into pill form. More updates later.

A visit to the urologist

Visited the doctor yesterday to find out why there was still blood and blood clots in the urine. He advised me that because I had been taking large doses of aspirin to treat gout the aspirin had probably irritated the wall of the bladder. Now I have the proper medicine to cure the gout  plus anti-hemorrhaging pills, antibiotics and 3 injections of vitamin K. The doctor advised that this may not stop the bleeding and that he may have to cauterize.
Scan reveals no abnormal growth in the bladder.
Juicing as usual.

The dreaded gout

Not such a good day yesterday. As well as the usual juice routine I ate a pound of red grapes and then juiced another pound. This resulted in lots of blood in the urine including clotting. To add to this, the big toe of my left foot was swollen with gout which I had been treating with aspirin. The aspirin, of course, thins the blood so this may also have contributed to the effects of the grape juice.
This morning I juiced only carrots with Swiss chard and 1 lemon and now have my feet up drinking lots of water.

Cordon bleu

Shawn visited yesterday. He is a cordon bleu cook so we all had a great vegetarian 3 course dinner last night. This was a great supplement for the juicing schedule to which I included egg plant and ginger. All is well, urine still reddish and trust this has something to do with detoxification. Touch of gout in the left toe and must assume that constant change is the culprit for this.
Also received some homemade oatmeal cookies from Jack and Barbara in Belize and trying not to eat too many at once.

Urine

Urine is now very reddish with some blood clots but almost odourless. I mention this because before the operation to remove the tumours the urine had a very bad smell. I am monitoring this carefully and continue to pee in a glass jar.
As usual juiced twice today with carrots as a base and adding other different vegetables. Recieved an em@il that suggested aspirin might also be beneficial so I took an aspirin today and will continue to take one a day.
Fried rice for lunch cooked with olive and sesame oil.....it was delicious.

Neem tea et al

Made a pot of neem tea and will sip on it throughout the day. Breakfast the same as yesterday and later today juicing broccoli. All is well, hungry most of the time but no noticible weight loss. Will check ph level after about a month to see whether alkaline level has increased.

Great breakfast

Two pounds of carrots, 1 cucumber, 1 packet of spinach and 3 limes. Urine clearing again after the last dose of soursop, feeling good. Bought some cane sugar yesterday so had a cup of coffee this morning. Also, we now have an oven so I may start to do some baking soon using integral flour, chaya and hemp seeds.
All is well...........so far.

Dried fruit

Today as usual juiced about 2 litres comprising carrots, spinach plus broccoli and cucumber. Also had the opportunity to eat some sun-dried pineapple which came from Belize and was made by a friend of mine called Jack Nightingale. He has a small operation called Fruit-full and makes limited quantities of dried fruit which includes bananas, mangos and pineapples.
Dinner of fried (olive & sesame oil) rice with olives, carrots, string beans, spinach and lots of garlic plus homemade mango chutney courtesy of Barbara from Belize.
Urine is clearing again after the soursop and I have decided to reduce the quantity of leaves per cup to one and make this tea weekly as per the recommended chemotherapy treatment which is also weekly for a period of 8 weeks.
Uncharted territory so to speak but necessary to document exactly what I do in case others wish to follow a similar method.
