Glioblastoma and Shark Cartilage
I don’t understand why people have such a hard time accepting the fact
that BENEFIN shark cartilage really works for glioblastoma multiforme.
There has been a lot of misinformation about it’s effectiveness. Sure, it
has not been scientifically proven but, it is not in the medical
establishments best interest to prove that it works.
The people that do not think for themselves and wait for the so called
experts to make their life and death decisions are making a mistake. If
we sit around listening to the experts that treat glioblastoma, we are no
different than sheep being lead to the slaughter house. None of their
treatments work and they know it.
Yes, modern science is needed and has made great advances for our
society. But, when profits get in the way of making advances in curing
cancer that where I think we should draw the line.
I am not speaking just to here myself talk, I am a cancer patient with a
glioblastoma multiforme grade IV. I was diagnosed and given 17 weeks to
live after removing a good portion of a 7 centimeter tumor. I was told it
would grow back in 17 weeks if I refused the chemotherapy and radiation
treatments. Since these treatments have been proven in the past to be
ineffective I decided not to take them. Why do a proven ineffective
treatment that gives you no hope of a cure? That does not make any sense
to me.
I started shark cartilage treatment 3 weeks after surgery with the help
of Dr. Ruccio in New Jersey 1-201-485-7656. Twenty-two months later not
only am I alive but tumor free as well. My pathology has been checked
four times with the same diagnoses and DNA analyses has been done. Let us
stop being blind followers and take our health into our own hands and out
of the oncologist hands who stand to gain nothing if the truth is
revealed.
Yes, there have been people who have taken shark cartilage and it has not
worked. It is possible people may have used the wrong product, pills
instead of powder, wrong dosages or not administered the shark cartilage
properly. They may not have detoxified their body with antioxidants and
herbs or changed their eating habits to a more healthy diet. Attitude and
mental state is very important. Positive mind will bring positive
results. Prayer and faith that God will heal you is also very important.
Some people have seen positive results while others have not. This is
the reason why we must do more scientific research with shark cartilage
instead of discrediting it. Now I ask you, "How many people have taken
conventional treatments that has not worked?" Everyone, because
conventional treatments do not cure glioblastoma.
For those of you that have my diagnoses I pray you make the right
decision. For those who like to cover all their options and decide to
try conventional and shark cartilage I caution you. I have a friend that
tried this approach and it did not work.
This may not work because the chemotherapy and radiation does not allow
your immune system to recover and one must be on drugs such as Decadron
for inflammation caused by the radiation.
Chemotherapy is terrible for the liver and does not cross the blood-
brain barrier. Scientist are working on new drugs which they claim will
cross the blood-brain barrier. I find that hard to believe. They also
have chemotherapy wafers that are placed directly on the tumor site. I
don’t know what success they have had so I will not comment on it.
Once you start on high doses of drugs they are very difficult to wean
off. Coming off the drugs too quickly can be very dangerous. These type
of treatments will create problems you did not have before and may
complicate your condition further. All these factors may not allow the
shark cartilage to work the way it should. It is so important for your
immune system to recover and poisoning your body further with
chemotherapy in my opinion does not help your situation.
I am not a doctor nor do I claim that shark cartilage can cure cancer but
I am simply stating my experience with my cancer. Everyone is different
and what works for one person may not work for another. There are never
any guarantees when it comes to cancer.
I believe everyone should be monitored by a medical doctor. i recommend a
nuerologist and not an oncologist. I think that is very important but, it
is very difficult to find a doctor with an open mind about alternative
medicine such as shark cartilage.
Good luck everyone and may God guide you.

I'll be happy to accept the fact that BENEFIN, or any other alternative
works when it has been scientifically proven. It is also in my best
interest to make my patients better, no matter how conventional (or
otherwise) the therapy.

If these facts are true, and shark cartiledge has been your only
treatment for glioblastoma multiforme since surgery, then Dr. Ruccio
should publish your case (even as a letter to the editor) in a standard
journal such as Journal of Clinical Oncology, Cancer, etc. Please post a
copy of his letter (with CAT scans, path report, and DNA analysis) when
it is written.Knowing how ineffective "routine" treatments for
Glioblastoma are, I would support your decision not to take conventional
therapy. However, new, scientifically proven therapies are now known to
be much better than the textbook treatments of five years ago. In
particular, insertion of a gliadial wafer containing chemotherapy into
the cavity at the time of surgery seems to offer significant,
comfortable survival and might be considered when the shark cartiledge
no longer works.

Btw, Dr. Emanuel Revici uses lipid medications to treat
glioblastomas. It is widely known that lipids pass through the blood-brain
barrier without causing harm.
He has quite a few brain cancer long term survivors including
glioblastoma patients.

Given the deadly nature of this cancer, long term survivors of GBM who had
residual disease after surgery (which is almost all) would I think be
highly provocative. This is unlike the Billy Best case where we're dealing
with a curable disease and the patient had potentially curative therapy.
It would seem as though a little specific documentation of these cases
would go a long way towards giving Dr. Revici some crediblity... has he
published on this? Has anyone verified any of the cases? In the case of
Burzynski who claims results in brain tumors, an NCI review board was
willing to come out and look at the evidence - and give positive
conclusions where the evidence warrented it as well. Anything like this
for Revici?
