Our daughter, Josslyn, was 9 1/2 when she pointed
out to us that her left leg had a slight shake or tremor to it. We thought
it was a pinched nerve or something. A month later (Dec.11, 2001), the
tremor was now in her left arm as well. A cat scan was ordered and it
showed that she had a brain stem tumor. She was given only a 20-30 percent
chance of lasting an extra 1-3 years if she did chemo/radiation. This was
not a cure but a poor chance at an extension of life. She was given 4-6
months to live if we did "nothing."

Through much prayer, the Lord directed us to take her to a clinic in Tijuana, Mexico. They immediately put her on Poly-MVA (1 1/2 tsp.)
plus some other things. Two weeks into the program, her double vision was
gone and her coordination had greatly improved. We were at the clinic for
four weeks in January. In February, she seemed to be regressing so we put her
on 5 tsp. of Poly MVA a day. We also started her on CoQ10. We found out a
couple months later that this is necessary to help get the Poly-MVA to the
brain stem area. God had already impressed upon us in February to start her
on this after watching Dr. Sinatra's Video on Poly-MVA and CoQ10.
On July 11th, Josslyn celebrated her 10th birthday! We praise God for working
a miracle in Josslyn's life. No matter how many days on earth the Lord has
for our Josslyn, she has already outlived the doctor's predictions. Josslyn
feels great. Josslyn looks great. She is probably the healthiest she has ever
been apart from the brain tumor. To illustrate this she hasn't gotten any of
the colds or viruses that other family members have circulated to each other
these past months. We go once-a-month to the hospital to have her blood work
done and a liver function test done. We had the first one done (since Mexico)
in March. Every thing showed normal, even her hemoglobin, white and red blood
cell count. Her third MRI in May showed that the tumor was slightly smaller
which meant that it was shrinking and this was all without surgery, radiation
or chemotherapy.
The oncologist's assistant called to ask what Josslyn was taking.
They wanted to discuss her case that afternoon at their doctors meeting. When
we go to the hospital to have her blood work done, she looks so healthy and
the other children there on chemo look like they are so sad and feel so bad.
People tell Josslyn she looks radiant, and she does.
We Give God the glory for her progress but truly feel that God led us to use
Poly-MVA for her. She has an excellent out look on life. She feels great. In
February we got a wheelchair for her because of the difficulty in walking
long distances. Since the middle of May she has needed it less and less. The
only thing that is noticeably wrong with her is that her left side is still
weak. We have her in therapy, working to get those muscles working again
after months of little use.
Her face muscles are no longer sagging like they were in Dec. and Jan.
They have steadily improved to their normal state. We have noticed NO bad
side effects from using the Poly. I hope her story will help others. She
leaves for Church Camp next week which we would never have thought possible
seven months ago.
