My husband has been taking protocol 1000 and went up to 2 drops per hour for 8 hours (in the third week) and has been taking the drops from 1/2 a drop -2drops over a period of 2 1/2 weeks. He has stopped taking them for a few days to see if the drops are causing him shortness of breath and a tight chest. The shortness of breath has continued after the drops were stopped. (This causes lack of sleep and the ability to relax is disturbed from not being able to get enough breath in.) He has Kidney disease - Renal Failure, a Skin cancer, Prostate cancer - that has spread to bones, hips, shoulder, (spot) lung..... He has not started on the DMSO as it was advised in Jim's book that he start really slow on Protocol 1000 because of his Kidney issues. As my husbands Carer I am feeling overwhelmed by the whole process as often my husband would have a lot of bowel moments (gas stomach) and feel like he had an empty stomach and very fatigued. We reduced the drops to one drop per hour to see if that would help, he still has issues with his chest. We have been monitoring his Diabetes - currently his blood sugar levels have stabilized to lower levels with out being too high and too low, but not within a healthy persons range which is 4.7. He is on the Medical medium cleanse to heal 3;9;6 protocol and has organic foods where possible. (High fat foods cause more fatigue and leave him lethagic upon observation) He has pain in his legs, suffers acute fatigue, has lost more weight and is basically bed-bound. I am wondering where to go from here in regards to the drops and when to start the DMSO and need some suggestions and guidance for my husband who is diagnosed with a terminal illness and has currently declined in the past week. Thankyou kindly.
