I don't have any personal experience with MGN-3, but about a year ago I collected some interesting stories from the internet. I saw them today on my computer, so I thought that I would share them with you....

I deleted some of the words (where you see ******) that referred to the company that these could be purchased, so I wouldn't violate any healthboard rules. Some of these stories are very emotional as they revolve around efforts of the FDA trying to stop this company from distributing MGN-3. So, I hope that it is OK that I share them with you. I can't remember, but I think these letters were being addressed to government officials so that they could stop the FDA from keeping them from this MGN-3 product. At the time, I was just curious about what people said about MGN-3, and I was trying to help someone. I eliminated their email addresses also. If it isn't against healthboard rules, I can forward these email address too to whoever wanted them, so they could do more research. These letters are as follows:

I applaud ******* efforts to bring the consumer the so-called alternative medicines. My mother, who has been diagnosed with terminal cancer, has done much research on alternative medicines, in hopes to put the cancer in remission. She has never indulged in risky behavior (i.e. smoking, excessive drinking, etc.), yet has less than a year to five years (if she's among the 5%) to live. She has ordered several of the banned products from *******, and we cannot tell her oncologist why her health is IMPROVING. Yes, improving. When this oncologist basically told her to go home and die. He did not leave her with any hope whatsoever, and this Dr. B. at General Hospital is not someone I'd want a complete stranger, much less my mother, to be treated with. She has since changed oncologists, and is taking shark cartilage and other "alternative" medicines on top of chemo. Her health is much better than when she was on chemo alone (she has more energy, I can hold her, talk to her, and she retains no cancer-related coughing), and yet, the FDA seeks to ban these medicines? Why? Are they afraid that something actually WORKS? That something may actually heal, instead of prolonging the inevitable? I don't want my mother to die. It saddens me every time I see her, and the chemo especially wipes her out. She is a young woman, who does not deserve to lose her only chance to live. Thank you.

My daughter, aged 32, was diagnosed with cancer of the ovaries with metastases to the uterus, diaphragm, liver and lungs. She had surgery and undergoes chemo monthly. We were told she would have a very short life. We had heard of MGN-3 but did not know where to get it in this country, so we sent for it in Japan. After 2, just 2 months, she was in remission. Now we have found *******, thank God, and we will keep her on it for the rest of her life. Please don't deprive her of a long life. Her medical caregivers are amazed. We are joyful. Please let others find this joy, too.

People or companies without a purpose are lost and have to strike out wherever they can. The problem is that where they feel they should be snooping involves all of our lives and our way of life. Give it up FDA, the wall came down several years ago and getting rich as a doctor or someone from a pharmaceutical company will no longer be a guarantee. That was the purpose of the FDA. 6 years ago I had stage 4 ovarian cancer and would not be here today if I had followed the standard path of treatment. Instead, I walked away from doctors and hospitals and never looked back. Since then I have written a book called CANCER THEN HEALING and have my own radio talk show about alternative healing. The FDA needs to spend time looking at all the problems we have with pharmaceutical drugs. Have you watched any commercials on TV lately. The side effects are humorous. Who's protecting the ignorant person who takes those drugs? I have used MGN-3 for over a year to keep me healthy. Since then I have not had any colds, flu or any of the viruses that everyone around me has been sick from in the past year. The internet is more powerful then the FDA in how the word can get out. Just try and ban these products, we can easiliy vote you out. The change is here and this democratic society we supposedly created will not tolerate the pompousness of a few. Micki Voisard

My father-in-law, O'Dean McKenney has been taking MGN-3 for some time now and it has greatly improved his immune system while taking the drug Temodar. O'Dean was diagnosed in Jan. 1999 with Glioblastoma Multiforme and was given 6-18 months to live. It is now Mar. 2000 and he has been doing extremely well with the MGN-3. After a brief reprieve from the MGN-3, his immune system decreased significantly. Within days after returning to the MGN-3, he was back to normal with and immune system that is probably stronger than my own. As someone who is intimately involved with this situation, I pray the MGN-3 remains available as it has proven to me and the entire family that it does indeed make a drastic difference.Thank You.

Author: Richard Wiseman,Santa Monica,CA (email address deleted) Posted: 3-3-2000 Subject: Protect MGN3, it is scientifically proven to work. My friend has taken MGN3 for 2 months on the advice of his MD. His white blood cell has risen from 28 to 78 (I believe 60 is normal). In addition, some of my friends have successfully battled cancer using MGN3. I personally use it to keep my immune status at a top level as a preventative. It does not make any sense whatsoever for the FDA and the FTC to be harassing *******. Why don't you spend your time taking on the major drug companies on the issues of the horrible side effect of the drugs the FDA recently approved, Viagra, for example.

You should not be constricting the trade of the natural supplement market. You instead should return the campaign contributions of the major pharmaceutical companies that pay your blood money. It is because of government corruption that millions of Americans are dying every day... There are cures for cancer, heart disease, and more through natural supplements, yet they are ignored by the medical community and our government because of the pressure put on them by the billion dollar markets for debilitating and worthless drugs and medical procedures foisted upon people. I myself had a heart attack, yet when they told me of the barbaric procedure they prescribed for me, I did some research and told my cardiologist- NO THANKS! He argued that I had children and without the surgery I would only live for another 3-6 months....Well nearly a year later I have proved him wrong...Many people have remarked how well I look...and I doubt they would have the same opinion if I submitted to the brain-damaging rib-cage breaking Frankenstenian surgery they had planned for me.... Remember Cancer and Heart disease are purported to be the number 1 killers in America....but actually by lining your pockets with "legal" drug cartel (company) money, and keeping the truth from the American people, you are the actual executioners......

I have a tumor and have been taking /mgn 3 for 4 months and had no ill effects my tumor is reducing in size and I feel I will continue until my tumor is gone and I do not want the FDA or any other goverment agency denying my right to continue using MGN 3. If the government is really concerned about my health a study should be done to prove it can help

To all Congressional Leaders, Have you lost someone to cancer??? I'm sure it has touched all your lives in some way by now, if not, you are truely blessed. I have lost too many friends and relatives who have battled through the so called "approved" methods of cancer treatment only to lose the war, to stand quietly by and let you take away for many the best and only chance of survival. Over two years ago my mother was diagnosed was terminal lung cancer. The cancer had already metastisized to her brain, and she was given six months to one year if she underwent the traditional cancer treatments-including heavy doses of total brain radiation which would have left her with at best some brain damage. Nor would she have been saved from the ravages of cancer throughout the rest of her body. Our hearts were dejected when she was given no hope for survival, no matter what she did. Well, my mother chose not to "fry" her brain, and chose to go with alternative medicine, with a system that would help rebuild her immune system and help fight the cancer from within, without all the damaging effects of radiation and chemo. MGN-3 has been a part of her therapy, and to the amazement of her doctors, she is still very much alive and with us today. Her doctor was very negative about her decision to begin with, but to our delight has become very interested in what she is taking and how she is progressing. To paraphrase his comments: "Keep doing what your doing, because we couldn't have dreamed of having these results". It's time for the government to stop buckling under to the wishes of the pharmaceutical companies. No, they don't want to see an end to the megabucks they make from cancer treatment- it's all business. Their business is about illness and death, not about prevention and cure. People should have a right to chose their own form of treatment, and a right to research and access natural products. Cancer is a scary and ugly disease that takes a lot of really good people, and probably not enough of the bad. Take a minute to place yourself in someone elses shoes who has just been given a death sentence. Do you take away all hope, or do you let them choose to travel down a new road, to that place somewhere over the rainbow where dreams really do come true. Considering that probably at least one in three of you will develope cancer, are you ready to close the door on one of your best chances for survival??? Or could you look in your child's eyes and tell them you must undergo all these horrible, harsh treatments that burn and make you terribly ill and more susceptible to infections which may kill you, and you may or may not live, all because daddy couldn't stand up to the pressures of the pharmaceutical companies who really couldn't care whether you lived or died. Do the right thing. Let the people you represent choose for themselves. I can live with my own mistakes! But can I live with yours???

I use products from ******* and many other companies to improve my good being. I am 55 and have beat cancer and injuries using herbs and suppliments. I don't get the flu any more. I only use natural antibiotics after surgery (coloidial silver and propolis). I keep my imune system on the guard with natural products. I just hope the FDA isn't trying to kill me, like they have others in the past. Ask the FDA if they use vitamins and minerals, if not they are not getting what they need from the hybrid crops they approved.

To whom it may concern: I was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer in January, 1999. In addition to traditional chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation, I began taking MGN-3. I never felt that ******* advocated that this supplement would cure my cancer, only that it would strengthen my immune system so that it could fight for itself. Today I am cancer free. My oncologist tells me that I am doing better than 95% of women whose cancer was advanced as mine at diagnosis. I do not know if it was the MGN-3 that made the difference, but I believe it has helped. I have suffered no side effects from this whatsoever. My FDA approved treatment left me with many side effects. It was my decision to utilize conventional therapy. It should also be my decision to utilize nontraditional therapies. Adele Wilcox

Author: Harry Grossman,Woodbridge,CT (email address deleted) Posted: 12-27-1999 Subject: Stopping MGM3 Killed My Sister
About five years ago, my sister developed lung cancer. It spread to her brain and then to her bones. It eventually killed her. About two years prior to her death, her "Team of Doctors" gave up on her and stopped giving her conventional therapies since her white cell count dropped well below normal from all the chemo. These "doctors" were unable get her blood count to come up no matter what they tried. About that time I convinced her to try MGM3. Within several weeks her blood work became normal and she began to generally feel better. She continued on MGM3 for another six months during which time there was a substantial improvement. The tumors in her lungs, brain and bones shrank substantially. At that time, her doctors convinced her to stop taking MGM3 and go back onto conventional chemothrapy which she unfortunately did. Within weeks of stopping MGM3 and starting chemothearopy she began to weaken and the down hill slide began all over again. This down hill slide continued until we burried her on December 22, 1999. When will the medical community, the big phamacutical companies and their associated federal agencies be brought under control. They are only interested in protecting their empires, their fortunes and their jobs, and, obtaining more and more funding to spend on prolonging their empires. They are more interested in how many patients they can push through their offices per hour, how many drugs and chemicals that never existed in nature can they push into people and most importantly, how much money can they make; ALL AT THE EXPENSE OF HUMAN LIVES. They have chosen to pratice medicine and have taken oaths to "Heal", not to buy bigger cars, bigger homes and play more golf. It is time that congress stop protecting the medical profession and demand that our medical professionals pratice preventitive medicine, be fair and unbiased and Heal patients instead of practicing legalized murder for the benefit of their own personal gain. It is time for congress to begin protecting the electorate to which they belong. We need unbiased, open minded scientist. What we do not need is what we presently have, business people with medical degrees. We need people who are dedicated to finding cures and helping humanity, not people who are dedicated to empire building and the All-Mighty-Buck.
