Kai turned one today! We are going to celebrate his birthday after my treatment is over. But we took some pictures today just in case. I had thought Jim took him to a day care today but he didn't. Jim says, Kai had a fever, but I think Jim just wanted to stay at home in bed and not go out. Jim didn't come home till 5am last night - he says he was calling friends in Taiwan from his office.
By the way, yesterday we went to see Dr. M again. He was introducing other kinds of supplements that would help me but Jim argued with him that supplements were not good. So instead of talking about the treatment they argued about supplements. Jim's point is, I should concentrate more on nutrients from food and not from supplements, but Dr. M's point is you can't eat enough food to get nutrients equivalent of supplements. I tend to agree with Dr. M - especially since I still haven't been able to eat as much as I used to. Jim also says the company who makes supplements are getting ingredients from China but based on their website, looks like everything is organically grown in the U.S. At this point I am willing to try anything Dr. M suggests because he already helped me feel much better. Dr. M also suggested using Pumpkin Oil, Coconut Oil, and Hemp Oil. I was able to get Coconut oil and Hemp oil at natural store but couldn't find pumpkin oil. Anyway I got another appointment with Dr. M and I will not be bringing Jim this time.

Happy 1st birthday, Kai!! Yeah!!
I hope I have a chance to meet him someday!!
About supplements...I think both Jim & Dr. are right...
Maybe you can tell Dr. what kind of foods you usually eat, then ask him what you really need....
Just try and try anything you think the best. If it dosen't work, try another one, okay?
And about pumpkin oil...did you go to Whole Foods? I think they have it. So please ask them.

I think on this point, you and Dr. M are right. It's better to get your nutrients from food, but if you can't eat, you need the supplements. My only concern there is if they don't break down enough to be absorbed into your system before they pass. However, oil is probably better than a pill form.
The health food store on Lavista and Chesire Bridge is rated as one of the best in town, if they don't have pumpkin oil, I'm sure you can get in online. I'll call the place on Lavista and let you know.
Love ya! Val
Mizuho-
I found some organic, pressed pumpkin oil on amazon.com. You can put it on your salad!! It is backordered but they say you should have it in a couple of weeks.
We are praying for you!!
