A Really Short...Update

Hi Loved Ones!!
Ok...here we go! We have a doctor that we are going with...his name is Dr. Tunsky. We met Dr. Tunsky about eight years ago, when Derek was searching treatment options for his dad. While visiting a very big church in Frisco, Derek went forward and asked for prayer for his father. They prayed for Derek's dad and a lady gave us one of Dr. Tunsky's cards. Although, Derek's dad did not use him, he met with both, Derek and I, and spoke with us in depth about cancer and health. I do not know why we have not been in contact with him up until this point!!! Anyway, he had his headquarters in the Dallas area back then, but now lives and works out of Florida. He continues to work in the Dallas area with contacts here and does consulting by phone. Today when Derek spoke with him, he was in Tennessee speaking at a conference. Derek will begin a cellular detox for starters. He informed Derek that the detox that Derek had done in November, although good, was like a surface cleaning and Derek needs a deeper detoxification at the cellular level. He said basically what Derek had done was a "dusting but needs a deep scrubbing!". After the detox, he will have Derek on an agressive protocol. We do not know yet, what all that will be, but Derek has his next consultation next Thurs. He told Derek that Derek was on the right path, but needed a guided protocol tailored to Derek's body,( once we have the proper diagnostic scans). Derek will have to stop some of the supplements and what not that he has been doing once he gets into the more aggressive phases of his treatment, as they will interfere or react adversely to the more aggressive protocol. Dr. Tunsky is a Christian man, full of wisdom and has written several articles about cellular health. He has guided many people with cancer and other illnesses back to health. A question that some have asked is that we continue to have scans to be sure that what we are doing is working and that the cancer has not spread. Dr. Tunsky wants to do his own scans and tests to know exactly what is going on in Derek's body. So, when this is over we will have those scans and what not to be sure! As you can see, I do not know all of the ins and outs about this, as of yet, but will have more answers next week. I believe Derek will be posting soon to let everyone know what is going on and how things are. Many have asked that he post what he is doing, so be expecting that post before too long!!

Well, that's all that I have at this moment, but Derek will be posting more as he has time. Things have been a little hectic around here, trying to get everything in order to get Derek on the right path and getting things together for Nate's education in the home. We appreciate the continued prayers and support!!
Updated prayer requests:
1. WISDOM!! (for us and Dr. Tunsky)
2. Derek's immune system to function as God intended.
3. The bad cells to die or revert back to good.
PS. According to Dr. Tunsky there is an exact art to this treatment. He said that what we have right now is a bunch of missing pieces to the puzzle, and that what he is going to do is gather information about what is going on in Derek's body and fine tune the right protocol for him. He said that what we will be doing will actually be going after the cancer cells in a lot more aggressive manner than chemotherapy, but without harming Derek's good cells, keeping the immune system intact and promoting health.
Cheerfully,
Misty
