Emails from Other AA Patients For Your Consideration

My primary acupuncturist and I are seriously considering the following information:

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Strasberg,


I am sorry your son has been sick, but I am glad that he is feeling better. It is good if he is not getting blood transfusions. I am not taking homeopathy. I am happy if it is working for him. It is very good that your son's food has changed to the Macrobiotics. Macrobiotics is a good change, there is much more you can do to make his diet better. I am happy to tell you about it.

Doctors diagnosed me with aplastic anemia October 1999. My body was not making blood for itself. I had to take many, many blood transfusions. A bone marrow test showed that there was not much bone marrow in my bones. Doctors told me that if I did not take their drugs, I would live only from 3 to 6 months. They offered ATG, ALG, cyclosporine, prednisone, and neupogen. I did not take the drugs the doctors wanted to give me. Since I was a child, I had been taking shots and medicine for my skin allergies. Maybe drugs helped me get sick. I had to think for my self and make my own informed choice. My husband helped me. Any good doctor should tell us that drugs are poisonous. Drugs can help, but they can also hurt. I took natural Chinese Medicine for a few months, but I do think it helped me.

After doing a lot of research, I have accepted a natural plan. We have bought a lot of books. Over the many months I have worked on making my plan better and throwing away what is not working. I am getting better and have not had a blood transfusion for 17 weeks. (4 months now)

Here is my plan that is working for me. I eat no eggs, no fish, no poultry, no meat, no cheese, no milk, and no food from animals. I drink the juice of one lemon in water first in the morning. Lemon is a powerful cleaner for the body. Wait a while. I drink 1 cup fresh orange juice. Wait about 1/2 hour then eat only fresh fruit for breakfast. Mid morning I drink 2 cups fresh carrot juice with a tablespoon of ground flaxseed and a tablespoon of dried barley grass powder. For lunch, I may eat some brown rice, some black beans or lentils, and a big fresh raw salad. Use a green leafy letuce such as romaine lettuce and finely cut cabbage and some raw root vegetables chopped up. A little sea salt, ground sesame seeds, raw apple cider vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, honey or herbs for flavor on the salad. Sometimes I steam some vegetables too. If he can tolerate sprouts, that is very nutritious too. An hour after lunch I drink one cup of fresh romaine lettuce juice and one cup of carrot juice and one tablespoon dried barley grass powder. One hour before dinner I drink one cup fresh cucumber juice (helps circulation), one cup fresh carrot juice, and one tablespoon dried barley grass powder. Dinner is very much like lunch. Eat big raw fresh salads with a baked potato. Sometimes I eat black beans and onions too. Add some fresh raw root vegetables such as radish or carrot. Buy no salad dressings in a bottle. Make your own. One hour after dinner I drink 1 cup carrot juice, and one cup beet juice with one tablespoon dried barley juice powder. Before bed I drink one fresh squeezed lemon in a cup of water. You will find that the longer you are on this diet, you will find more and more vegetables and fruits that you can eat. Try to buy vegetables without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. I have also used some macrobiotic recipes which I find is good for me.

Other important parts of the plan are as follows. Drink at least 8 cups of water through the day. Don't let cleaning chemicals touch his skin. Don't use shampoos for cleaning the hair. Shampoos contain detergents that can soak right into the skin down to the bones. Use natural soap instead. Read the Bible each day and pray to God. Don't just say nice prayers, if you have any problems with God and the way He is working with you or the way He is working with the world, then let Him know it in prayer. Always be thankful to God. Learn thankfulness. Sunlight on the skin and bright daylight coming into our eyes is important for many reasons, but for me, too much sunlight can lower my blood levels. So I have to be careful. Fresh air is very important. I sleep with the window open every night. Walking is also important exercise. Making the body sweat out poisons with a hot shower is good. But, be careful for a person with low blood levels. Too much heat may make us weak.

Try to stay away from electrical transformers and electrical wires. Electrical fields hurt the bone marrow. Do not use microwave ovens or cellular phones. Keep away from electrical appliances especially while sleeping. Your alarm clock or radio should be far away from your bed while you sleep. If you can, make a copper wire go from the ground to your body while you sleep to protect you from electrical currents and fields while you sleep.

Sleeping at the right times is very important for healing the body. Stay away from stress and anger. Anger hurts your immune system and bone marrow. Do not eat or drink anything artificial. No white or brown sugar (a little raw honey is alright), no white bread, no white sweet breads, no white rice, no coffee, no tobacco, no tea (some herbal teas like peppermint tea is Ok), no colas, especially no coca cola.

I take only one vitamin--B12 from vegetables not from meat. And I take Barleygreen dried grass powder. Take no other vitamins. Raw food is the best source of vitamins and vitamins made in a factory can be bad for the body.

My sickness perhaps has been worse than Gabriel's sickness. I believe that Gabriel can be helped from the method I am using. Maybe you do not have enough time to do everything I do. I have had 89 platelet transfusions and 86 red blood transfusions. Without drugs, I have improved so that I have not had a transfusion for 17 weeks. Thank God. Drugs may seem to help at first, but they will cause other diseases. Drugs are very hard on the liver and kidneys. I think your choice not to take drugs is a good choice especially since Gabriel's liver is already having trouble. Have patience and do as much the natural way as you can. The more powerful natural things you do, the faster you will get well. Listen to your body.

Try to eat at least 75% raw fruits and vegetables. If you cannot drink as much fresh juice as I do, try to drink at least 4 cups fresh carrot juice each day. Carrot juice is powerful medicine.

We are very sick people and need to be very careful to get well and stay well. This take time and much patience. I hope this helps you.

DEAR MARLA:

I WRITE YOU BY SUGGEST MARY HUBBEL. SHE SAID ME ABOUT OUR "SAME" TREATMENT.-

MY SON GABRIEL STRASBERG, 20 YEARS AGE, HAS APLASTIC ANEMIA POST-HEPATITIS. HE WAS TREATED WITH ATG, CYCLOSPORINE, G-CSF AND OTHER DRUGS.-

HE IS ILL AROUND 12/12/00, AND HE WAS VERY BAD.-

WE SUSPECT THAT THE MD (OF BUENOS AIRES ) WAS WRONG IN THE TREATMENT BECAUSE THE TOXICITY OF THE MEDICINE THEY GAVE GABRIEL PRODUCE LAMINAR HAEMATOMA without spinal cord compression AND "PARAPARESIA" ( HE CAN`T MOVE LEGS, CAN`T URINATE, AND THEY PUT A CATHETER INTO HIS PENIS AROUND THREE WEEKS).-

WHEN GABRIEL WAS FINE AND HE CAN TRAVELL WE WENT TO VISIT NEAL YOUNG OF THE NIH (BETHESDA-MARYLAND) AND HE SAID WE COULD TAKE THE RABITT TREATMENT WITH 50% PROBABILITY SUCCESFUL.-

IN THE MEANTIME WE BEGIN AN HOMEOPHATIC TREATMENT, AND WE NOT TAKE THE TREATMENT SUGGESTED BECAUSE WE KNEW IT WAS VERY HARD AND WITH LOW PROBABILITY.-

COME BACK HOME ON SEPTEMBER 2001, AFTER THE CRAZY ATTEMPT OF BEN LADEN (WE STOOD IN BETHESDA FIVE DAYS WITHOUT AIRPLAINS 09/11 TO 09/16) THE HOMEOPATIC MD GAVE GABRIEL MACROBIOTIC FOOD, AND THEN WE LEAVES THE ALOPATIC MEDICINE.-

AT LAST, TODAY, THE BLOOD COUNT IS THE SAME WHEN HE IS BAD, BUT A MIRACLE IS GOING ON. HE IS WORKING 4/5 HOURS WITH ME, HE WALKS VERY GOOD, HE HAS A GOOD CLINICAL LEVEL, AND HE IS LESS TIRED THAN BEFORE THE TREATMENT.-

WE WISH TALK ABOUT HOMEOPATIC TREATMENT WITH YOU, IF YOU AGREE.-

AT LAST, BUT NOT THE LEAST, I REQUEST YOUT PARDON BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND ENGLISH BETTER THAN I WRITE IT. PERHAPS YOU DONT UNDERSTAND SOME WORDS OR SENTENCE. IN THE EVENT OF THAT, PLEASE SAID ME.-

IF YOU WANT EMAIL WHIT US ABOUT OUR "SUFFERS" PLEASE ANSWER OUR "LETTER" AS SOON AS POSIBLE.-


DANIEL Y ESTER STRASBERG


Both Marla and Gabriel are still alive today.  Daniel sent me this email and I am in the process of emailing Marla for more information.
