Chase's Nausea Appears to be Inflammation Related

After conferring with Chase’s Nutritionist again yesterday and recounting the sequence of events that has led to his recent nausea, she strongly believes this is related to inflammation, which is fairly common for patients of this condition. This is a relief that it isn’t due to anything related to his medications. Apparently, this inflammation is most likely to occur as he awakes (either in the morning or after a nap), which was the case in both incidents. This actually isn’t necessarily a bad sign – all of the treatments appear to be working and attacking the tumor, which will lead to increased inflammation. We’ll be increasing the natural inflammation suppression supplements over the next few days in an effort to head this off before the Clinic recommends increased steroid use, which is what we’re trying hard to get Chase off.

Overall, he’s in great spirits anyhow and hasn’t let this slow him down. We’re confident that this sound advise, along with slowing his intake of anything (particularly smoothies) when he first awakes, will take care of the issue. He didn’t have to get off the treatments yesterday, which is a good thing since we want to maintain the momentum we’ve gained leading up to the next MRI in two weeks. That will be a very important milestone and indication of the efficacy of our overall treatment plan. We also just received the missing piece to begin our Rife treatments (discs that will be positioned above his ears during the ½ hour electro-magnetic cleansing cycles). We’re anxious to get this started this weekend and see how it adds to the overall plan of attack.

Thanks again for all the prayers – Chase is doing great today and looking forward to a couple of play dates.

Lots of love and gratitude,
