"the tumour continued to shrink, my liver function was good, blood count improved"

In 2000, I found out that I had ovarian cancer. Due to a late diagnosis, the disease was too advanced to be operated on and I had secondary tumours on the liver.

It had begun in the summer, when my stomach swelled and become uncomfortable.  I was initially informed that this was IBS. However, when the swelling was so great that I was having difficulty breathing, I was re-diagnosed as having cancer.

The prognosis with conventional treatment, which would have been unpleasant, was bleak. Therefore, I decided to turn to alternative therapies, while using my oncologist to monitor progress. 

My campaign led by a wonderful holistic doctor involved a range of therapies including healing, hypnotherapy, nutritional kinesiology, acupuncture, reflexology, prayer, meditation, visualization and a vegetarian diet supported by vitamins and supplements.  

At first I made some progress with the tumour noticeably shrinking. However after about six months I seemed to be stuck.  This is when Carctol was prescribed. 

Initially, I felt that the non-acid diet to compliment Carctol was difficult, but then I knew how much I had to live for.

I adjusted my diet and began drinking more water.  I soon started to feel increased energy and most importantly my mind, which at times had been frantic, calmed. 

During this period I reflected on my life and reviewed my lifestyle.  I realised that I needed a simple lifestyle and needed to select the people in my life as not everyone made me happy.

So with the love and support of my family and a few special friends I became selective in my activities and whom I saw.

As time passed, my energy increased and my daily walks started getting longer, as I was able to enjoy my passion and love of the outdoors.

This in itself was tremendously revitalizing and totally absorbing, with the fresh air and deep breathing increasing oxygen levels.

My oncologist watched my progress with great interest and support. The tumour continued to shrink, my liver function was good, blood counts improved and following a scan I was told that the tumour had taken on the appearance of an ovarian cyst. 

Over five years later I continue my Carctol regime and I am filled with enormous gratitude to be still here living a fulfilled and active life.

Rosy Daniel - Six Years with Carctol

Dr Daniel was the first doctor to use Carctol in England. She began to use it in 2000 after visiting its originator, Dr Nandlal Tiwari in India in 1999. Dr Tiwari introduced her to many people who had been considered terminal by the medical profession many years before, who were very much alive and well, five to ten years later. She was so impressed that she pioneered the introduction of Carctol in the UK. First she was told by the Medicines Control Agency that Carctol must be treated as a prescription only medicine. Next she established that Carctol was non-toxic through laboratory tests, and once convinced that it was safe for use, began prescribing it.

During the next five years she and other medical colleagues began to witness some truly remarkable recoveries and in 2002 the story of Gwen Garner, who completely recovered from pancreatic cancer, hit the press. Next were the amazing stories of Gillian Gill, who recovered from stage 4 ovarian cancer and Stephen Woods, patient of Dr Jani in Brighton who recovered from lung metastases of melanoma. All of these people are still alive and extremely well as are many others who have over-turned their medical prognoses or achieved a significant improvement in their quality of life.

So impressed was Dr Daniel by these remarkable results that she announced these observations to the press in 2004. Many doctors were critical, but her intention was to bring hope to patients who may be able to get help from this non-toxic treatment. She also wanted to create interest in researching Carctol and indeed has been offered the opportunity to present her most successful cases to senior medical oncologists in the UK with a view to starting research trials.

Dr Daniel sees patients at the Apthorp Centre in Bath and appointments can be booked via her team on the: Health Creation Helpline on 0845-009-3366 (UK) or  0044-1225-745757 (international).

Stephen Wood: Observations on my cancer.

"The consultants are puzzled but pleased."

I was surprised when I was told that I had two secondary melanomas, because I did not feel ill. The first (removed from the perenium), led, after a scan, to the diagnosis of the second (in the spleen).

The only pain that I had was in the side and I found eating at night difficult because when I lay down I had an acidic burning sensation in the stomach and saliva in the mouth.

This was possibly because the spleen was enlarged and pressing against the diaphragm and stomach. 

I had my spleen removed - the melanoma was 5cm long and the spleen enlarged. I recovered well and went on holiday. This was in 2002.

Upon my return I noticed a lump on my left upper arm.  After referral, I had the lump removed at day surgery.  I then found a lump on my neck, which was tested and found positive.

Shortly after, I had a scan and small melanomas were discovered in both lungs. I was given a choice of chemotherapy or experimental treatment with a thalidomide derivative.

As I was feeling well but had low immunity and the cancer was not active – chemo, I was told, had about a 20 per cent success rate and would be better if the cancer was active – I decided against ‘poison’ and went for an ayurvedic treatment with Dr Milind Jani, who was already supplying me with an oil for pitta vatta imbalance. He recommended a diet including juice made from carrots, broccoli, grapes, melon (all non-acidic fruit), cumin seeds, coriander  and curcumin and a special energy tea.

I already had a vegetarian diet with some fish and dairy products and also had to take penicillin twice a day for the spleen. In addition, I took Essiac, a Native American herbal cancer product. I had acupuncture on the spleen and lung channels from my partner as well as giving myself Reiki and continued to meditate twice a day. I also prayed, maybe with more feeling.

I was off work and began to do a lot of physical work at home.  Apart from some slight lung infections immediately following the spleen removal, which were treated with bigger doses of antibiotics, I began to feel quite well and realised that I had previously been feeling tired and under the weather but it had crept up on me unnoticed. The pain in my side also went completely.

The idea that I had this in the lung brought home my sense of mortality.  I felt I had not completed what I had been put here to do.  Besides that I also felt the need to put my house in order so as not to leave too much mess for others to clear up if I was to go.  At the same time I became much more aware of creation and how grateful I should be for my part in it.

I realised how negative I had been up until.  It was important to express gratitude and slow down to use this ‘gift’ as an opportunity to change my life and attitude.

 It is interesting that the spleen in many traditions is the seat of anger and grief and I had had a lot of stress at work in the past few years especially as my wife had died of cancer two years previously.

Maybe this was the cause and I felt that like Pinocchio’s nose, which grew when he lied, that negativity for me would make the cancer grow.  In any case I had little to be negative about. But we do suffer from Victor Meldrew syndrome in the West and are almost taught to complain about the slightest thing, this in itself is an insidious form of negativity.

I soon had an X-ray, which showed nothing, then later a scan that showed no increase in growth and very possibly a decrease, although my doctor was reluctant to confirm this as he said it may be just a different section on the scan.

Dr Jani then suggested Carctol to finish the thing completely.  This had been used by Rosie Daniel in the Bristol clinic although she now works independently.  It is an ayurvedic proprietary medicine.

I began a course that involved taking 2 pills 4 times a day as well as a digestive enzyme pill.  I also had to drink 5 litres of water a day, or at least liquid, as this could include tea.  My diet had to cut out any acidic fruit including apples – this was a pity as we had picked ten boxes of Bramleys from the garden.  Also I had to eat no fish, or at least white fish only occasionally.

Initially I was concerned because I was told I might be constipated.  Actually it was the reverse. I started with very loose bowels and had to go to the toilet very soon after eating.  This soon stabilised.  The 5 litres was more difficult, especially socially.  I found I could drink 1 litre with each meal including tea quite easily and had a drink or two in between. However I had to stop drinking at 8 o’clock in the evening to avoid getting up twice in the night. 

By stopping at 8pm, I still had to get up once but this is not so tiring.  Once the treatment was under way, I slept quite well and could give myself Reiki if I woke – this would keep the mind free from concerns.

I carried on with the juices as before, with the exception of the energy tea, which Dr Jani said contained curcumin something that is also in the Carctol. I noticed various little pains in the chest and upper abdomen that were extremely difficult to locate exactly as when I breathed, my lungs were fine, just slightly less expansive on the left. This may have been due to the diaphragm, which had stuck to the spleen slightly.

It was also difficult to say what may have been the muscle mending as the incision was mainly on the left. I did a lot of physical work, including shovelling 10 tons of shingle onto my drive, so the tension in the stomach and lower chest may have been muscles which I hadn’t used for a while. I feel a slight ‘burning’ in the throat after taking Carctol and have begun to recognise slight sharpness in the bowel, but nothing of concern. My energy levels are vastly improved – before, if I had engaged in physical work I would have been quickly tired and would have had a headache if I had continued.

Now I feel pleasantly tired and actually feel my body is rebuilding.  I also walk a couple of miles a day and do not get out of breath at all.  I have to remind myself I am 57.  There are no adverse effects and I notice I have a good appetite, which I haven’t had for a long time but had not noticed.

I feel my body is no longer wasting, which was a feeling I had but put down to age, but rather my muscles are reforming. I do have a slight tenderness on the surface of the skin, in the crease of skin in line with the navel, because the operation scar is an inch or so above this.

After finishing the course of Carctol, I had a scan a week later and the results showed a decrease in the tumours since the first scan and no others.  The one in my neck has gone completely.  I was given a fitness-to-travel note and declared stable with a longer time now between scans.  However I decided to continue with another course of Carctol and to keep juicing.  I have no sensation in the spleen area now, but still have some tightness on the left of centre chest, though I am still shovelling stones.

I have also had another X-ray, which showed nothing and the last scan showed so little that the consultants doubted if anything was there.  I was advised to go 8 weeks now before the next X-ray and another 8 weeks before a scan just to keep things under observation.

The last X-ray showed nothing.  The consultants are puzzled but pleased. By summer 2005, I had not had a scan for a year at least but I have an X-ray every six months as a precaution.  Nothing is apparent. At the last visit to the hospital,  I was examined and pronounced clear.  I find that more feeling is returning to the areas affected by surgery and I feel well.
