Great News About My Pancreatic Cancer.

I am a 76-year-old man who was diagnosed with unresectable Adenocarcinoma of the head of the pancreas as per endoscopic ultrasound and fine needle aspiration biopsy done on 2-24-2010. Palliative chemotherapy was suggested. My family and I did not accept it since there was no promise that I will live longer or have a better quality of life.

I decided to start alternative and immune boosting treatment at Orange County Immune Institute. Immediately after starting the treatment, I started to feel stronger, happier, and after 4 weeks of treatment, the new CT scan, which was done on 6/17/2010, showed resolution of the previously seen four centimeter tumor and also an interval decrease in the size of the pancreas. My oncologist was surprised to learn of the natural supplements I am using to get the miraculous results.

Thank God for Dr. FERRE and her staff for the miracle work they have done.

I hereby allow Dr. Ferre to use this testimonial on her web site.

Sincerely yours,

Dear Dr. Ferre;

In Nov. 2009 I experienced a blockage in the main bile duct in the liver and had a stent inserted to restore the duct function. Extensive analysis indicated that I had pancreatic cancer and the tumor in the pancreas had metastasized to the main artery in the pancreas, and the surgeon indicated the tumor inoperable. The cancer had also migrated to the liver where there were 15 – 20 lesions evident throughout the liver. In consultation with the oncologist at the cancer clinic, he indicated that there were only two possible methods of treatment for my type of cancer, that being chemotherapy or radiation, and he indicated that neither would be very effective in my situation.

Fortunately, I have a Sister-In-Law who was a registered nurse at Fountain Valley Regional Hospital who, upon hearing my diagnosis, began to do some research on alternative treatment for pancreatic and liver cancer. After many hours of research, and speaking with many alternative treatment clinics, she recommended that I try the Orange County Immune Institute. I immediately called Dr. Ferre and three days later arrived at the Institute for treatment.

The treatment was far beyond my expectations. The positive attitude toward treatment, the testimonials from other repeat patients and the professional analysis of the Doctors and staff was all very encouraging.


Blood samples were taken and analyzed with all cancer markers improving each week and my energy levels immediately began to improve. The number and amount of vitamins and supplements in my daily regimen was somewhat daunting however well worth the effort with the results achieved.

On returning home I had another CT scan done, the previous one was two months earlier, to determine what changes if any had taken place in the size of the tumor or liver lesions.  To the surprise of my oncologist, there was no noticeable increase in size of either the tumor or lesions and a growth in the duodenum did not show up on the latter scan. As a result, my scheduled chemo treatment was cancelled and a CT scan will be done every two months to monitor my condition.

Overall, a very positive and productive four weeks at the Institute which negated the harsh treatment of chemo or radiation.
My sincere thanks to Dr. Ferre and the staff at the clinic who had such a positive influence on my life.

I was diagnozed with stage 4 prostate cancer in January 2008. I’d been treated with antibiotics for prostisis for aproximately 5 years.  Three biopsies were performed, and all three were negative, the fourth biopsy in january 2008 was positive, and my PSA was 380.


A catscan and a bonescan were performed which showed the cancer had metasticised in to my bones and lungs, which wasn’t good. My daughter Ivaan, who is an R.N. (Registered Nurse) she went on a search for reliable, alternative treatment centers, and she learned of Dr. Ferre’s results that she was achieving with her cancer patients at her clinic at Orange County Immune Institue in Huntington Beach.


When we met with Dr. Ferre, she said she couldn’t promise to cure me, but she could promise me that I could have a better quality of life as long as I did what she said. I started the treatments immediately. When I later saw an oncologist, I asked him how long he thought I had to live, he told me 3 to 6 months, maybe a year, and that surgery is no longer an option.


My first treatments were for 4 weeks, 5 days per week periods. I was started on a protocol of vitamins, herbs and minerals by Dr. Ferre, by I.V.s and orally, to strengthen my immune system and rid my body of toxins.


I was given a diet to follow aswell. I started showing improvements immediately and after several series of treatments, following a diet and supplement regime etc, my PSA was reduced to 7.4, and the rest of my lab results were near normal. The improvements have continued and I am able to live a basically normal, healthy life of a 76 year old man, no bone pain although I have extensive bone metastasis.


My life is worth living again and I feel great, thanks to Dr. Ferre and her colleges and I love her. And, I’m thankful for all the prayers and the supports of my friends and family for the help and support I recieved from the people at the clinic.

Dr. Ferre has definitely kept her promise, and I feel like I am cancer free.

My name is Linda LaMori and I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in March of 2004. I went through traditional medical treatments, mastectomy, and chemotherapy (intravenously and oral) plus radiation, a combination of one or all destroying my body. I had several reoccurrences over the years, which kept me on oral chemotherapy. In the course of those years my breast tumor markers were always high, ranging from 100-200. Nothing I did could ever lower it. I removed both my ovaries and fallopian tubes in hopes of reducing my estrogen, including hormone shots. All along being told that I would never be “cured”. At the end of December of 2007 I was told that I now had “chemotherapy induced” acute leukemia! Oops….so sorry! Due to the advanced nature of the breast cancer, chemotherapy again was offered, but odds of being put in remission were not good. Distressed over the leukemia I quit taking the prescribed hydroxyurea an oral chemo. The chemo that was killing me, now become a necessity to stay alive. February of 2008 I was admitted to Hospital with a dangerously high white blood count of 200+.

After being assessed I was admitted as a “DNR”! My husband was told by my oncologist that I would pass possibly within 48 hours. My sisters and brothers flew in from out of town and my friends and family all stayed vigil at my bedside. Because of my “DNR” status, Hospital nursing staff did nothing but administer the necessary medications as prescribed by my doctor. Never was I turned, bathed or comforted… it was only with the insistence of others that I received an air mattress, bathed and allowed to be wheeled outside to enjoy lunch in the fresh air. Each morning during my stay, my oncologist would come by to let me know that I was going to die. I told her I wasn’t; she just shook her head and gave me a look that I was not being realistic. Her attitude destroyed my husband. With not having the proper care as a patient should, who has been bed ridden for weeks, I ended up with severe bed sores on my Tail Bone.

 Regardless, I was getting better as each day went by…. due to my family and friends’ constant vigil of massages, bringing in food, energy work and prayer. During my last days at hospital, my sister came across the website of Dr Ferre and her Orange County Immune Clinic. She was so excited to have found a place close by. She and her husband drove to the clinic and found everyone there to be loving and caring and very knowledgeable in alternative treatments for cancer. I was excited to get out of the hospital and into a “positive healing place”.

When I first met Dr. Ferre, I found her to be a most remarkable woman who had been through so much in her own personal life that she understood what I was going through and my frustrations with traditional medicine. She listened to what my expectations were and what I was attempting to get out of her clinic. I was battling two cancers now and wanted to have a quality of life. She was honest and made no promises but was willing to help in any way possible.

When I entered the Clinic, I had an additional 20 pounds of water on me, bed sores, I could barely function…… couldn’t dress myself. Since mid 2007, my illness kept me from enjoying dinner out with family and friends. After just a week, I was going out… enjoying sit down dinners. I even took photos one day to send to my oncologist!

I spent 4 weeks at the clinic getting customized IV’s, differing daily depending on my needs, oxygen, massages, MIT far infrared treatment and constant blood work. The IV’s and blood work were administered by Dr. Roshanak. Her concern and care for my well being was amazing. She would often put her patients before herself and needed reminding to take care of herself.Dr. Ferre would give me oral supplements based on the outcome of my blood work, in an effort to build up my immune system. I usually came in the morning, feeling a lack of pep, but, by the afternoon upon completion of the treatment…. I was anchoring to go out and enjoy the evening. Part of my recovery has been laughing a lot, instead of being sad and down. It was always a very up-beat, positive environment. I looked forward to having the Dr’s read my blood work status, I was always over-joyed when the numbers showed improvement. Each day there, I got stronger and stronger. During the course of the time I felt constantly loved and supported.

After 4 weeks at the clinic, I lost the added 20 pounds, can move around and function and best yet, my breast tumor markers which were at a high of 200 in December , went down to an amazingly low 60 …. The last time it was that low was in 2005. I still struggle with the leukemia, but even after leaving the clinic, I am not deserted by my new “family”. They are still working with me to heal me. They are collaborating with my local doctors and I will see them once a week until I am on a stable route. For all of this, I am eternally grateful to Dr. Ferre and her Clinic and to God … 48+ days later I am still alive enjoying walks outside, dinner with my friends and occasionally shopping. My deepest thanks.


 

I am writing this letter to share my experience in receiving care and treatment at Orange County Immune Institute and what it has done for me in my ongoing battle against cancer. I start with a short history of what I had gone through before I met Dr. Ferre Akbarpour.

I was first diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer in April of 2003. I went through an extensive chemo and radiation therapy for nearly six months and I had monthly checkups including scans of head and neck in the same facility. I was diagnosed with a distant metastasis of the same disease in July of 2006 at a different facility. After going through confirmation at original cancer consult, my doctors were planning to put me through the same treatment. Having already experienced this ordeal before when I was 50 pounds heavier and much stronger, I thought I should look for an alternative solution. I started researching and through my research I found Dr. Akbarpour.

For the first time since my new diagnosis, I found real hope after I met Dr. Akbarpour, whom I found to be a very compassionate, caring, human being in addition to all her medical credentials and accolades, which were most impressive in their own right. So I started receiving a new therapy in her office. Under her supervision, I received a multi-faceted treatment and I have had a tremendous result.

I am a dentist, and I am about to start a new practice. I sincerely consider her to be my saving angel. I am most grateful to her and her professional staff for the way they have cared for me and I hope that sharing my experience with you, the reader, can give you the possibility to find what I found with them.

In September 2005 while at the (Orange County) Immune Institute in California, Dr. Ferre presented us with our latest blood test results. After three and a half years of following an integrative approach, I am so very pleased to announce that not only am I free of cancer and Chronic GBS but the nucleus of my cell, which mutated when I developed cancer, has corrected itself. This means that my immune system and my natural killer cells are now free to do their regular job of keeping my body healthy. I wish I had the time to sit with each of you and explain the incredible education I received over the last fifteen years. This fight took all of us through the emotional and physical challenges of major illness, infection, and disease. We shared life-altering moments and I learned how incredibly important each of you are to the center of my being. With each new challenge came another step in our education of cancer and how to win the fight. And now, WE HAVE!!

Now it is time for me to pay it forward. I would like all of you to know that Pat and I have decided to change the course of our lives. We have discussed at length the challenges before us and the need I feel to make a difference in the world. Therefore, I have applied and been accepted to the pre-Med program at the University of North Texas. With my years of credits and courses, I am only in need of between a year and a half and two years of sciences. Then, I will be applying to the University of North Texas Health Scienes Center at Forth Worth to become an Osteopathic Phsyician (D.O.) An Osteopath is a regular medical doctor with a philosophy that focuses on the unity of all the body parts. The founder, Dr. Andrew Still, recognized the body's ability to heal itself and his ideas include eating correctly, staying physical, and preventative medicine. He also pioneered the concept of "wellness" and believed a patient should be empowered to take responsibility for their own well-being. Right up my alley, don't you think? I begin school full-time in January and will keep you updated on how it goes. In the meantime, we wish to thanks you all for your support and love. Please know that you are the most important part of our life's journey and we wish health and happiness for everyone. Loves and hugs.

Dear Dr. Ferre,

I think of you often and the great gift of health and life you were able to offer for Robert to have five and a half excellent years whilst other doctors expected him to last only a few months. What an amazing time that was for him and for me and our family. He had never been better, physically, emotionally, and spiritually—even before he was diagnosed with cancer. We were blessed to have met you and your team of other angels and Robert loved you as a dear friend right until he left his body. I'm not sure if I ever told you that he died with that beautiful smile on his face, looking up and surrounded by a glowing white light. We feel he has been very much with us on this Christmas Day with happy and peaceful memories. God bless you. I hope to see you again one day. With love.

S.G.


I am 57 years old, a master plumber living on the East Coast and very fit until I was diagnosed with Pancreatic and Liver Cancer, and was given three months to live. After researching the likes and dislikes of cancer I knew I needed an educated and brilliant doctor that knew and used alternatives. We researched the Internet and found Dr. Ferre's web site. We called and made reservations to head to California for treatment. My wife only made reservations for two weeks thinking if this doesn't work then we would just go home. However, in those two weeks, Dr. Ferre was able to get my blood count up, my PH was improving, my strength was increasing. So we decided to stay another two weeks. By the end of the month, Dr. Ferre was able to get two of my three enzymes to work. One 100% and the other 50% and working on the third. My stomach where the tumor was showing swelling was decreasing and feeling softer and not so hard as it was when I arrived. I would recommend anyone who is diagnosed with any kind of disease to research Dr. Ferre's alternatives.

Seeing both parents die of cancer ( Mother in 1960 /Father in 1985) motivated me to investigate alternative medicine--for cancer and general health care, as well. But those 15 years evaporated into panic on May 11, 2000, when the radiologist started explaining the mammogram results. They said how lucky I was to "find it so early", yet the recommended treatment was still a double mastectomy. I wondered what the 'lucky' part was. Having a slow growing cancer allowed me the cushion of taking 6 months for testing and as much frantic research as I could absorb. There is a vast sea of information out there. It's overwhelming.

I began treatment at the (Orange County) Immune Institute on Nov. 1, 2000. This is a clinic like nothing you have see seen before. Its healing energy has aspects of a clubhouse, a family gathering. Group therapy, spiritual awakening, a college classroom, a health spa... and once in a while, "boot camp". The physical treatment has three main components: a sugar and chemical free vegetarian diet, highly specialized Vitamin C intravenous infusions, and nutraceutical supplements. Zero tolerance for sugar, including no fruit, is critical - cancer loves sugar. Also used daily is the infra-red sauna, lymphatic ohatic drainage massage, thermal resonance treatment, and a Rife-technology Bio-Ray machine.

The other crucial element is the care and guidance of the physicians and staff, the licensed nutritionist and psycho-therapist, and their connections to the world's labs and scientific study. For me, their iconoclastic commitment alone commands respect and instills confidence. They personalize the protocol for each patient. I always feel protected and cared for.

This is not a quick fix. At the beginning, it's an anxiety provoking mountain of pills, potions, rules and facts, needing several weeks to mold a personal daily plan and begin feeling centered in a new point of view. The program is not complicated, but it's not easy - it's very demanding, requiring both a profound shift in understanding health care itself, and the deepest level of life-long commitment to your own health and all this while "swimming upstream' with regard to the majority of people, perhaps even family members. As in traditional treatment, there is no guarantee. Not everyone gets better. But, the treatment is benign, doesn't attack the body, it builds and nourishes the vital organs and restores the immune system so the quality of life and health is enhanced immediately.

My name is Phyllis Cohen. I'm 58 years old. I Was an amateur bicycle racer. The diagnosis of cancer in both breasts was confirmed by a PET scan in October 2000. In July 2001, a follow up PET scan showed my right breast to be clear of cancer, and only a small affected palpable lymph node ran remaining in the left Willa. Yesterday, October 3, 2001, for the first time, the doctor was unable to see it. All tumor marker tests are normal. I'm still on the program. I'll be on this diet for the rest of my life. I love it! I'm getting better and expect to get completely better... along with riding and racing....
