After drinking the Aloe Vera juice for 10-12 days it did not appear to be making a difference. But it had only been 10-12 days, I had been taking the Beta Carotene for five months, perhaps it just took some time to get the right stuff into my system. I realized that the Leukoplakia looked very similar to the white sores that I got in my mouth during my chemo treatment. Those sores reacted very positive to my concoction of cottage cheese and flaxseed oil.
I had also noticed that anytime I was on a trip the Leukoplakia appeared to get worse. I knew something I was doing differently while on the road was contributing to the sore. Now I suspected it was the fact that when I was home, I sprinkled ground flaxseed on my cereal.
With this in mind, I mixed Dr. Budwig’s formula of cottage cheese, flaxseed, flaxseed oil, and cayenne pepper. (It tastes much better than my concoction.) I started eating the Dr. Budwig formula several times each day. Just four or five bites each time.
Within a day I could tell a difference. My tongue no longer felt uncomfortable, it just felt like my tongue. The bright white spots, which had been slightly larger than 1/8 inch in diameter, were smaller and sometimes disappeared completely, the rest of the sore, which had been as large as 3/8 by ½ inches and a faint white in color, appeared to be getting smaller and paler. However, after about a week I noticed there appeared to be a limit to the improvement. Perhaps I was just being impatient; it also appeared to me that the spot was whiter first thing in the morning, before I had put any liquid in my mouth. While the cottage cheese mixture appeared to be helping, I did not feel it was going to be a total cure.
About a week after I began eating the Dr. Budwig formula I began eating an asparagus diet. This diet had been sent to me a few days earlier by a friend in New Mexico. It appears this diet was first discovered in 1976. It is just a matter of pureeing cooked asparagus and eating 4 or more tablespoons night and morning. It is supposed to cure cancer.
Following my principle, if it does no harm, try it. I tried them all.
So for a few days I was drinking 4-6 ounces of Aloe Vera juice each day, eating several bites of Dr. Budwig’s formula several times each day, and then eating 4 tablespoons of pureed asparagus night and morning. I was also taking 35-50,000 IU beta carotene, indeed since seeing the oral surgeon I was taking 50,000 IU daily.
There was also an issue of me having a cold, so I was taking different cold medicines. After two days of eating the asparagus I ran out of my Aloe Vera juice. But something was making a huge difference. The larger spot was very near the same color as the rest of my tongue after eating the asparagus for only 48 hours. It was still a whiter area, but there was no longer any bright white area.
On Thursday, March 25th, I was studying Xocai information, something I do several hours each week in my efforts to learn more about the product. I saw a testimonial titled, “Chocolate antioxidant drink reduces pain associated with gum inflammation.” The testimonial was written by a man whose wife had suffered sores in her mouth for several years. Based on the description, her mouth was much worst than mine, pain, many white sores, swelling, etc. She drank 1 ounce of the Activ drink, allowing it to rest in her mouth in areas of the sores. Within five minutes the pain had stopped. Within 72 hours, all the sores had disappeared.
As I had a bottle of Activ in my inventory I thought perhaps I should give it a try. I suspected it would not have the dramatic results the lady had, because I had been eating a Xocai chocolate product three or more times each day for several months.
When I got up Friday morning, there was a bright white spot in my mouth, this was the first time in five days, and for the first time there was also a red spot. This was scary. From everything I have read and been told, a bright white spot is bad; a red spot is really bad! The only thing I had changed in the last five days was stop drinking the Aloe Vera juice. Perhaps it was doing some good after all. I also ate the last of my asparagus Friday morning. I decided I would purchase some asparagus and Aloe Vera juice when we went to town. But I mixed the Activ chocolate drink so I could begin using it as soon as it cooled. I checked the red and bright white spot several times Friday morning, there did not appear to be any change. After lunch I drank my first 2 ounces of Activ drink, one ounce at a time, letting each ounce rest in my mouth in the area of the sore. After about ten minutes I checked my mouth. Much to my surprise, both the white and red spot were gone! The paler white area was also reduced in size. Perhaps about 2/3 the size it had been at 8:00 AM. I decided, because of the dramatic improvement I would not purchase the asparagus or Aloe Vera juice.
Seventy-two hours after my first chocolate drink there had been no return of bright white spots or red spots. The overall pale white spot was also reduced, now no more than ½ the original size. Something appeared to be causing the leukoplakia to heal, but what? I continued to take the beta carotene, eat the cottage cheese mixture and drink the chocolate.
I had been taking beta carotene for over five months, it had helped, but after the first few days did not appear to continue the improvement. However there are many studies that indicate beta carotene will occasionally cure leukoplakia.
The leukoplakia had shown no improvement from the Aloe Vera juice until two days after I had stopped drinking the Aloe Vera juice. This did not mean that the Aloe Vera juice was not helping; it was possible that it just took a few days to get the correct amount into my system.
However, improvement had come in a few days or a few hours from the cottage cheese mixture and the puréed asparagus and in the case of the chocolate, a few minutes. There are several testimonials that the chocolate has helped in similar cases. Most indicate as much as 3-6 months before there is dramatic improvement. I also know that the cottage cheese mixture has helped during my chemo treatment. It appears that of all the treatments the beta carotene, cottage cheese mixture, and chocolate show the best promise. However, as the email on the asparagus indicates a 3-6 weeks before most see improvement I am going to purchase more asparagus and add it to my diet.
