CLL: My Personal 20th Anniversary

Posted by: Denise on: July 9, 2021

Celebrating My 20 Year Anniversary of CLL I remember vividly when I was first diagnosed with CLL at age 46. It was July 2001, shortly before our national disaster. At the time, my brand-new oncologist told me that if I was lucky, I might even live for twenty years. Well, I guess I’m lucky, because […]

Living Well with CLL —
the Movie Part 1

Posted by: Denise on: June 6, 2018

If you’re interested in more CLL alternative health videos, here is video #1. (I know, I know, this is my second posting of a CLL video; I posted out of order. Please forgive my inexperience at becoming a movie “professional.”) In this movie, I introduce Teresa, who came with her husband, Keith, to visit us […]

New CLL Alternatives Video

Posted by: Denise on: May 30, 2018

I made a series of videos with Teresa, a CLL buddy I met through this site — and who was visiting the state for her son’s graduation. This is the first of what will be many videos from this meeting. I hope you get some good information from it.  It took me some time to […]

For whatever reason, when I was first diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia by my original hematologist, he advised that I keep the news to myself. “It’s stage zero. You have no symptoms; you look healthy. So there’s really no reason to tell everyone you know—unless you want to.” Unless you want to. I had no […]

Alive and Well with CLL — 14.5 years now and counting…

Posted by: Denise on: February 19, 2016

I’ve been so busy with my life lately, that I’ve neglected posting here on my CLL web site. The good news is that I’m doing well! My numbers have been improving. I’m stable, and therefore have been able to concentrate on other things in my life: like my work and my grandkids. (Jared, pictured at […]

Apricot Seeds and CLL Leukemia

Posted by: Denise on: February 9, 2011

Part of my good health program started in 2007 when I started taking amygdalin pills from Mexico, alone with enzymes and other supplements. I was advised to also eat the apricot seeds — in addition to the pills. I tried this twice early on in 2007 and 2008. Both times I suffered severe stomach upset. For days.

CLL and Green Tea

Posted by: Denise on: January 31, 2011

Green tea is supposed to halt the progression of CLL and, in some cases, improve symptoms.

CLL Alternative Protocol

Posted by: Denise on: December 16, 2010

Here is the list of what I take and what I do, at this time in my life (it has changed many times) to be well and get well.  My goal is, and had been, since July 2005, to become cancer-free.  Others have done it and so can I.  (By implication, you can too!) There […]

Getting Well from CLL Leukemia

Posted by: Denise on: December 8, 2010

There are two success stories, so far, both men, who have overcome their CLL Leukemia and either achieved remission — or became cancer free! — without conventional treatment. We can think of this as a miracle (which it is) or a sign of possibility and hope (which it is too!).

CLL Leukemia Diagnosis: Overcoming the Fear

Posted by: Denise on: November 30, 2010

Like many CLL diagnosis “victims,” I experienced sadness, grieving, easy tears, insomnia, and morbid thoughts. I was overcome by negative thoughts and FEAR. Fear of dying. Fear of death. Fear of leaving my family behind. This made me overwhelmingly sad.
