Testimonials

Dear Dr. Silberstein,

Thank you for all the work you have done to provide excellent information and support to people fighting cancer and the people who support them as well as individuals who seek to live a healthy lifestyle to prevent cancer and other debilitating diseases.

My husband Dave and I have been speaking with Dr. Randi Shayne over the past few weeks. It has been a great encouragement. We have learned lots about nutrition and its importance in being healthy. We have made huge changes in our diet and my husband is learning that this is a lifestyle change.

We really appreciate the support we have received and are sending in a $500 membership to support C.A.C.E. and its continued efforts in helping people with cancer.

Sincerely,

Annette S. and Dave C.

  Chris P. – After numerous failed treatments for my Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia, I was sent home from the hospital with best wishes. Around that time, I learned of an experimental drug being tested at Dana Farber in Boston, MA. There was one spot left in the study and it was my last hope for treatment, but it would entail weekly hops to Boston from Lancaster, PA. Even if I could have afforded the flights to Boston, I was neutropenic and commercial travel was not an option for me. Angel Flight East was there to help! Angel Flight East pilots flew me back and forth to Boston throughout the course of my entire treatment—over 75 flights. The experimental drug made me healthy enough to receive the bone marrow transplant that I desperately needed. Angel Flight East helped save my life. I can’t imagine a better outcome and I really don’t know how I would have achieved that outcome without their help. Editor's Note: Angel Flight East is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization comprised of volunteer pilots, ground volunteers and a small staff dedicated to serving the community by facilitating FREE air transportation for children and adults who need to get to medical treatment far from home. Volunteer pilots fly patients to the medical facilities needed for their evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of their medical conditions free of charge. AFE will also transport family members and loved ones of a critically ill patient free of charge.] For more information contact Angel Flight East at 1-800-383-9464 or www.angelflighteast.org

For BeatCancer.org‘s small group of volunteers and our overworked and underpaid staff, sometimes the only thing that keeps us going is receiving letters like this one! We thank DW of Woodland Park, Colorado, for allowing us to share this letter with you:

Dear Susan:

In May of 2010 I developed a mild sore throat and a small lump on my neck that I thought was from a cold. Little did I know that two weeks later I would be told that I had stage 4, diffuse large B-cell Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. That began a journey of numerous blood tests, a lymph node biopsy, CT scans, a bone marrow biopsy, an EKG, chest X-rays, and of course a visit to the oncologist. This is where I learned three things: 1) Place your faith in the Lord because we do not control the outcome of our life; 2) Doctors know about treatment only; and 3) Nutrition is an essential factor in both withstanding the effects of chemo and radiation treatment and in recovery.

Thanks to you Susan and your organizationBeatCancer.orgthe unknowns of what item 3 really means were well covered. Without your support and guidance, I would have been easily discouraged by the doctor… It’s amazing to me how little doctors know of what role nutrition can play in cancer prevention and treatment and also in recovery from the devastating effects that chemotherapy has on your immune system. Your guidance in finding resources…and also your knowledge and compassion for supporting me at a time filled with great fear and despair are beyond just a mere thanks.

I often…have the opportunity to share with others my journey, and you and your organization are one of the first places I point people to. It has been two and one half years now since I finished chemo and radiation and I am cancer free. Not only was I cancer free at the end of treatment, but my immune system was completely normal. I am thankful for the Lord’s miraculous healing hand in my life and the support and guidance you gave me.

August 7, 2013 Dear Susan and Maria, It has been one year since I first walked into your office, afraid but anxious to learn all that I could about how to beat my Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. I remember my first call to you, Maria. I was so thankful that I got your warm compassionate voice excited to sign me up for my first consultation with Susan. At that first emotional meeting with you, Susan, my eyes were truly opened to discover the emotional baggage I was carrying inside since my childhood, as well as your expertise and guidance to a healthier lifestyle and eating habits that completely changed my life. I put into practice everything you suggested for beating my lymphoma and began to understand why I was a candidate to develop this cancer. I am thrilled to say that one year later, I am happier, healthier, and feeling 25 years younger. My once golf ball size lump has shrunk well over 60% and I continue to increase my raw foods, do my monthly lymph purge cleanses, and detox through daily exercise and methods I have learned along the way. The birth of my first grandson keeps me in a constant smile, and even though I am busier than ever, my energy level lets me do what I love. Once again, many thanks to both of you for being the missing link to information that is just not out there in the media for most cancer patients. Susan, good luck on your busy lecture circuit. I hope you know how much you are helping patients and families dealing with this dreaded disease. I can’t begin to tell you how many times I thank God for your guidance and expertise. Good luck at your new location and further endeavors. Please accept the enclosed donation for your dedication to help educate people on how they can truly beat cancer! Sincerely, Pat S.

Dear Susan, It was a genuine pleasure and privilege to hear Dr. Bernard Jensen speak last Sunday. What an inspiration he is to all of us. I was also impressed with the cross-section of people who turned out for the seminar – all so interested in good nutrition and improving our nutritional lifestyles. You did a terrific job in pulling such a grand event together. You are a “dynamo in action” with such a marvelous spirit. You are an inspiration to all who know you .” I’m joining Frances on your trip to N.Y. tomorrow (Wed). Where can you go anywhere today for a $22 trip!!! My last endeavor before I finally try to get some rest is to send you a check for our coming trip to New York on July in the amount of $500! Knowing you have so many places to put it, helped the decision! Your friend and joyful fundraising coordinator, J.F.
