Dear Dr. Sanchez,
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my journey in fighting this
most dreaded disease. I am a 65 year old Psychologist who in 1996 was
diagnosed with bladder cancer. A transurethral resection was followed by
periodic cystoscopy examinations at Emory Hospital, Atlanta, Georgia. By patient preference, I chose not to undergo
suggested chemotherapy. I remained asymptomatic until December 1998 when
laboratory studies revealed active cancer again. I had the Arthur Malignancy
Index or AMID test performed which showed a large tumor mass; The Smith Kline
Laboratory panels revealed an NK Cell count of 2, clearly indicative of
immune system degeneration. This test was performed several times to rule out
erroneous results.
William Crawford, a naturopath, was my physician. Dr. Crawford was on staff
at the Oasis Hospital in Baja, California. I followed the nutritional protocol developed for me
by Dr. Crawford, which included using Poly-MVA twice daily. At this time I am
doing well as evidenced by the laboratory reports I have received, and, more
importantly, by the way I feel.
The Poly-MVA has done remarkable things to my immune system with repeated
AMID tests showing an excellent rating of "GOOD;" Recent NK numbers
are now at an amazing level of 59. Tests also show a diminished tumor mass in
me. I am faithfully continuing complimentary and/or alternative healthcare.
I have been very pleased with the results obtained by taking Poly-MVA used in
conjunction with Clodronate. My energy level has soared and has sustained at
the point I was 4 years ago. My total program includes proper nutrition,
exercise and a positive spiritual understanding that life is a gift from God,
to be used wisely. It is my desire and prayer to encourage and inform others,
with special emphasis on Poly-MVA.

2nd UPDATE - June 27, 2001
Dear Tim,
It was good of you to pursue and persist and push for this update. Part of
the delay was my desire to have the most recent chemical Lab tests in hand to
further substantiate the good work of Poly. So here goes:
For several months now I have been talking on the phone with a number of you
who are vitally interested in PolyMVA, either for yourselves or someone you
love and care for. I trust this update will serve as encouragement and
incentive to give PolyMVA continued opportunity to do it's
unique work.
In 1996 I put aside plans to open a counseling center in the Atlanta area. It took several months after cancer was
diagnosed to recuperate from a transurethral resection of the bladder. The
immune system was severely compromised, and pneumonia persisted. By patient
preference, I did not have the suggested chemotheraphy or radiation, but
chose to embark on an intense search to find well documented, well tested
alternative treatments for cancer. It did not take long to find Al Sanchez
who was fully prepared to explain and substantiate why PolyMVA was excellent
in building up and supporting the entire immune system. For extended periods,
PolyMVA was a defined part of my prevention protocol. However, during my
husband's illness, my system became weakened. An elevated count of cancer
cells was found again last December. With Al Sanchez's encouragement, I went
back on a heavy program of PolyMVA, and thank God, I am now considered to be
in remission. All the lab work is within normal range, and balance has been
regained. It takes work, determination and persistance to maintain the battle
against cancer.
PolyMVA has been the the foundation for my ongoing treatment of cancer.
"It is THE super, free-radical scavanger and extremely powerful
antioxident" which I believe has helped to bring me to this chapter of
remission. I continue to take a maintenance dosage of PolyMVA daily, and am
pleased with my energy level. In fact I have had no further lung infections
or pneumonia which plagued me for several months after my dear husband died
last year. It is a noteworthy that good nutrition is essential for continued
good health, so I am careful to choose the right diet. As you all know, it
takes special care to get enough rest and exercise.
Above all, I am thankful to God for an extended time period in which to
fulfill the dream my husband and I began to put together in early 2000. It
was our prayer and desire to open a retreat center
in the mountains north of Atlanta, with the main purpose of providing a place for patients to come who
had been given diagnoses of cancer. Tender care can be provided at this
Christian Retreat called The Haven, to help individuals deal with levels of
fear, anger and denial. Family members who need support and guidance from
understanding counselors can be taught to cope more effectively With renewed
courage and strength, The Haven is becoming a reality.
As you continue your own courageous journey, remember we are doing much more
than just surviving, We are learning to be thriving in body, soul and spirit
with God's help! I pray you will be blessed, and I have been, by all that is
experienced in living fully while He lends us breath.

3rd UPDATE- January 20, 2003
It is especially meaningful for me to share that the sixth year post
diagnosis of bladder cancer report is excellent. The latest medical
examination found "the bladder to be normal with smooth walls with no
abnormalities, no lesions seen and no areas or erythema appreciated." In
layman’s terms, this means I am still free of tumors with no sign of cancer.
The specialist repeated verbatim his statement from last year that he was
both pleased and surprised. "It is very unusual for your type of cancer not to reappear.You are my only patient
that has experienced this." When I reminded him of Poly MVA, he
remarked, "Whatever you're doing, just keep it up." I smiled saying
" My times are in God's hands, and I've got a
good plan going."
My maintenance dose of PolyMVA, is still in order,
taking 1/2 teaspoon morning and 1/2 teaspoon evening. Much of my continued
energy level I owe to Poly, ever grateful there has been no recurrence of
pneumonia or flu for the past two years. In the absence of my beloved Carl
who died July of 2002 of liver cancer, I must choose to keep positive, choose
to keep disciplined, choose to keep planning proper
nutrition and exercise. I must to create fun times, including a coveted art
class and strengthen bonds with friends. All of this combines to give a good
measure of "inner and outer strength" for hours of counseling and teaching
which I love, and development of The Haven, a Christian Retreat Center in the beautiful Georgia mountains. This is some retirement program!
No doubt other survivors have found, as have I, that there is an exquisite
balance we must seek. Continued care of ourselves
must not lead to selfish preoccupation, or morbid introspection. But, with
God's help, we who have responded well to PolyMVA can offer solid information
to others who may still be confused and doubting. Accurate, timely sharing
allows for God to reveal creative ways for each of us to live life more fully
and love more clearly. It's our choice. Let's rejoice!
4th UPDATE: February
20, 2004
I am going to have tests repeated in March, and will happily send you a
current update. At this time I am strong, well and wonderfully busy in the
ministry of counseling. I still go one week to Birmingham, 3 l/1 hrs away where I counsel about 21 people in the
3 days there. Then I go to North Carolina to see cancer patients, an autistic child and several other dear folk
the next week. I do telephone counseling and office counseling here in Atlanta; the cup...AND saucer are
full. It's an unusual package God has put together, but I love it.
There is a "keeping power of God" which encircles those of us who
trust Him. May you be very aware of His Presence this day May His love guide
you as you reach many, many travelers on this journey.
Love in Him,
Nancy Farley

5th UPDATE: May 12, 2004
Tim, Greetings!! I'm delighted to let you know the latest Lab Reports show
excellent levels and a strong Immune System. These just came in yesterday, so
I'm thanking the Lord I have good news to pass on. A Black Field Microscopy
test in January showed slight cancer activity, but that also is now reduced.
I waited until now to give the latest and most accurate report.
I am continuing the protocol of Poly maintenance of 1/2 teaspoon AM and PM
along with the supplements that keep me in good health. I came thru a flu
attack in January which lasted only days instead of the usual debilitating 4
weeks. I attribute this to Poly which provides an excellent defense against
such infections.
In a few weeks I will be celebrating my 70th! I asked the Lord to give me
more life in my years, and not just years to my life, and He has. I am full
of energy and working strong and steady in the counseling ministry.
Hope all is well with you and Al. Please give him a "fuerte abrazo"
from me.
Cordially,
Nancy Farley

5th UPDATE: July 17, 2004
Hello Tim,
I'm excited about the upcoming Convention since this year I really have a
testimonial that continues to amaze me. The newest Lab Reports and even the
Osteoporosis report are well within normal range, signifying good maintenance
and positive progress.
My medical friends, which are many, are still shaking their heads. One MD who
is the main Breast Cancer Surgeon on staff at the YUB Hospital in Birmingham can't reckon with the fact I did not submit to his knife, but am coming
up with excellent Lab reports and no cancer cells evident!
Again, by patient preference I choose not to undergo Chemo or Radiation last
year after breast cancer was identified, and that really threw him for a
loop. I thank the Lord daily for His healing thru the Poly protocol and just
keep taking on God's assignments in counseling ministry wherever he opens the
doors.
Special greetings to Al,
Nancy Farley
