I am writing in reference to Ralph Moss's announcement of his recent review series of American and international CAM facilities and his request for readers' suggestions concerning doctors, clinics and hospitals that are felt to be particularly innovative or may not have come to his attention.
Having personally taken Ralph's advice to travel to Ireland to be one of the initial trail members for CLT treatments, which was a success for me; I am asking Ralph to add the Hope in Melbourne, Australia (www.smile.org.au) to his review as otherwise Australians will soon have no local choice to the many times ineffectual standard cancer treatments if misdirected officials have their way.
My ductual carcinoma in situ remained in remission after the CLT treatment in Ireland until I had a serious fall down a flight of stairs on January 18, 2006. In October a Greenwich Hospital MRI showed a right breast lesion, 6 – 8 o’clock position, 3.7 cm x 2.6 cm x 0.8 cm tumor up against the chest muscle wall, exactly where the biopsies had been taken, with a palpable right side lymph node of 1.5 cm circumference.
Refusing a mastectomy, again presented as the only option, as I have reflex sympathetic dystrophy, and am not willing to do chemotherapy and radiation because of the side effects. I decided to accept Prof. Campbell’s offer to try the latest iteration of CLT, now a Photodynamic Light Therapy (PDT), at Hope In Melbourne, Australia.
It worked, again.
After 7 weeks of Monday –Saturday treatments a PET scan taken at a local Melbourne hospital showed no activity.
I had taken a plethora of supplements, had daily PDT with an improved agent over what had been used in Ireland, direct to the breast ozone and ultrasound, a general ozone sauna, and used hand held electrolysis (Bio-Lyfe) –a machine that seems to be along the same principal as the Kanzius machine that M.D. Anderson is working hard on.
The Hope Clinic made another very interesting finding. Using a $10+/-, three-minute, urine test for heavy metal that produces a color reaction, much like a pH strip, I was found to have abnormal levels of cadmium and mercury. Detoxification was with DMSA capsules. According to Dr. Maggie Louie (1), assistant professor in the Department of Natural Sciences and Mathematics at the Dominican University of California, who received an National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant (2) to focus on how the heavy metal cadmium – an environmental contaminant that enters the body through consumption of contaminated food or water, or inhalation of coal and cigarette smoke – contributes to the development of breast cancer, felt that this finding and treatment was probably a significant additional factor in the cancer remission as her preliminary findings not only show that cadmium promotes breast cancer cell growth, but also identified a potential pathway for its action that DMSA would have effected. In a recent conversation with Dr. Max S. Wicha (3), University of Michigan, a stem cell expert, he agreed that the DMSA would have been of significant help in stifling the cancer.
The Clinic was efficient, friendly, and very reasonably priced by any American standards.
Hope is the last CAM treatment center for cancer in Australia. The Clinic cannot afford to do formal trials but would more than welcome academic institutions being encouraged by yourself and people of similar stature to under take meta/retro analyses and patient studies for medical journal publication.

I am writing to thank you for all the profound Kindness to Rosa and myself during our difficult time whilst in Melbourne.
Your special support and generosity that you so freely gave to Rosa and myself is as deeply appreciated as it was unexpected.
With deepest gratitudes, warmest regards, Rita.
