Prayer for your ex-husband. I have a few ideas, although he needs to consult with someone who knows more that I do to see whether or not this will interfere with his treatment. 1) Garlic is a fantastic immune bulider. I just take a clove with juice. 2) I don't know much about colloidal silver, but do a google search on it--there's plenty of info out there. 3) About 3 years ago, I picked up a terrible infection of mono. I was sick for quite a bit after that until I stumbled across a product called Immunocal. This is the stuff that Celine Dion's husband took when he had cancer. Once again, there's a ton of info out there on it. 4) Make sure he is taking plenty of vitamin C as well as a good quality Multi-vitamin (not anything like Centrum, okay?). 5) There's plenty of stuff out there on the internet, some of it's quackery, but some of it is really useful.

Not enough doctors know about nutrition, vitamins, etc.....part of the reason for that is that there have been so many advances over the past few years that it's difficult to keep up and part of it is just malaise on the part or many doctors. I know b/c I've stumbled across several of them. But there are doctors out there that recognize the value in the combination of Western Medicine and Holistic Medicine.

Thanks to all for the prayers! They are appreciated and needed!

Aggie Mama, thank you for the information. He's already taking colloidal silver as well as numerous vitamins. I'll investigate the Immunocal.

His oncologist is wonderful! The last time Don had pneumonia, his Doctor told him he hadn't brought him this far in order to see him die. His Doctor also enrolled him in 1998 in a study for a new treatment that was being tested on patients with CLL. Our insurance finally agreed to pay for 4 of the treatments and the remaining 4 were paid for by his oncologist. I believe Don has been blessed with the oncologist he has.
