" In April 2009, I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. When I met with my surgeon, he told me if the tumor could not be removed, my life expectancy was less than 6 months. On May 6th the tumor was removed, however the cancer had spread to 4 lymph nodes. I was classified as having Stage IIB cancer. I was given a 10% chance of living 2 years. In researching many different treatment options, I found out about Dr. Zagon's clinical trial with OGF in Pennsylvania, and was encouraged with his results but was not a candidate for the clinical trial. I therefore ordered OGF privately from a pharmacy overseas. I started using OGF in combination with Gemzar in June of 2009. In August after 3 months of treatment, the CT scan showed no evidence of disease, and my CA-19-9 score was 9. (A normal person is around 32, and a person with cancer can have a score in the 100,000's). My oncologist was surprised, and told me not to get excited about the results. I changed oncologists. The new oncologist suggested that I continue Gemzar, and undergo radiation therapy. I continued taking OGF along with the Gemzar, and endured Radiation therapy for 6 weeks. I had a 2nd CT Scan in November 2009. The CT scan showed no evidence of disease, and my CA-19-9 score was 10. I no longer take any medication. My next CT Scan is scheduled for February. My first oncologist did not object to me taking OGF with Gemzar, although he was skeptical of the results of the trial. My new oncologist does not object to my taking OGF, however he shows little interest in OGF for his patients. I write this because if you decide to take OGF, know your doctor may not support you taking a drug that has not yet been FDA aproved. I feel confident that OGF was a key component in defeating cancer. "

"

Our first child - a little girl was born with hepatoblastoma, a rare liver tumor. At 8 days she received her first and last chemotherapy treatment, it almost killed her. The doctors felt there was no hope. The tumor was almost a fifth of her body-weight. We were told that even if it was operated on, it would quickly come back and that she had no hope. We were told to choose if to let her die by chemo, surgery or withholding treatment.

Under the guidance of Moshe Rogosnitzky of Adjuvant Medical, we traveled to New York for surgery by the well-known Dr. Emond. Our girl was a few weeks old when he operated and he did a terrific job. However the margins were not clear and we were offered chemotherapy as a chance it may buy time. Instead, we opted for OGF as a main therapy. For several months, we injected our little girl twice daily, until the tumor markers went down to normal, and remained normal. We then switched to low dose naltrexone for a few more months as preventive therapy.

Thank G-d, we are now the proud parents of a 7 years old beautiful and healthy girl. Our complete story is told in our book so far published only in Hebrew. A number of chapters can be read on www.gilimerav.com
