Alternative Breast Cancer Treatment - Cure with Laser Treatment and Alternative Medicine - LIESH Therapy
26th December 2007 by Arrow Durfee Posted in Disease, Cancer, Revolutionary Therapies
Leith Holt lives in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. She recently got her breast cancer cured at a clinic in Jacksonville, Arkansas, a small town near Little Rock. It cost her $6,250 for five days of treatment with a laser system. I’ll quote part of Leith’s message on it. Feel free to contact her if you have questions. She is truly committed to helping other cancer patients.
Update 6/6/2010: Leith Holt has passed away in late December 2009. Please read this total post and following comments for more complete overview of this treatment.

“Hi Bill,
I joined your site on August 2, 2007. You gave me much food for thought. I would like to share with you my encounter with breast cancer and the results.
I realized after talking to you today, and reviewing all the information I had obtained on-line, that it was your book ‘Cancer-Free - 2nd Edition’ (which I obtained by e-mail), and your newsletters that put me in pursuit of alternative therapies, and eventually led me to the treatment I received. Without your book and the optimism contained in it, I seriously doubt I would be in a position today to say that my breast cancer is dead and gone.
My family doctor was informed by me during a visit on June 19, 2007 that I had discovered a lump in my right breast. He sent me for a mammogram, ultrasound and biopsy on June 22, 2007. I am a 62 year old female who was diagnosed with breast cancer in my right breast on June 28, 2007. The result was breast cancer with lymph node involvement (1 node). It was deemed to be Stage II-Stage III invasive ductal carcinoma (estrogen positive). On June 29th, my family doctor moved to another province, so I was without anyone to help me through the quagmire that was to come.
At first, I went through the normal channels of conventional medicine. I was given an appointment with a surgeon on July 4, 2007. However, after my first meeting with the surgeon and being informed that I had the choice of a total mastectomy or lumpectomy with radiation, I decided to do some investigation of my own. Something kept gnawing at me…to a point where I did not feel that conventional therapy was for me. I then decided to have another appointment with the surgeon on July 24, 2007 to ask questions about things such as survival, recurrence , and other methods used by other institutions.
This was the turning point for me. The surgeon was outraged that I would dare question his determination to do surgery. When I left, I told my husband that I refused to have conventional therapy and would find the answer elsewhere. I cancelled my surgery on July 26th, 2007.
A Naturopathic Doctor started me on some medications, such as triple potassium compound, Host Defense, Tumeric Force, Estrosense etc. On August 27th he ordered a blood test to see what the CA-15-3 marker was. It came back 32, just slightly above normal.
By now I was aware of my treatment alternatives, such as the Budwig Diet, Essiac, Dr. Simoncini, B-17 etc. In early September I ran across a site that intrigued me. The treatment seemed so logical. I investigated further, including listening to radio interviews with this individual. I began daily treatment (about 90 minutes each) on October 15th and finished on October 19th. I had the procedure for 4 days, and an INDEPENDENT ULTRASOUND done the morning of the last treatment on October 19th (the fifth and final treatment was in the afternoon to insure that if there were any stray cancer cells they would be destroyed).
The ultrasound showed that the tumor along with two involved lymph nodes were dead. Both my husband and I were present when the ultrasound was done and the technician allowed us both to view the screen and explained each pass she did. The diagnostic clinic also provided us with a CD of the ultrasound. The tumor which was not overly large in the first place (about the size of a cherry) has reduced about 1/2 in size. It will take my body time to absorb and eliminate the remaining dead tissue (I take special enzymes to assist in that procedure).
I do not wish to see others suffer the results of conventional medicine of cut (surgery) burn (radiation) and poison (chemotherapy). This is a very simple procedure. The site for the clinic at which I was a patient is www.lasemedinc.com
My e-mail address is: wgholt@telusplanet.net.
Thank you.
Leith Holt
P.S. As a result of your site, (Bill Henderson’s www.beating-cancer-gently.com/index.html )I started using MMS about a week ago to build up my immune system and rid it of all things that should not be there, and have passed the information on to many others with health problems.”

www.lasemedinc.com/LEISH_Therapy.html
This acronym stands for:
Light Induced Enhanced Selective Hyperthermia
which in itself pretty much summarizes all the characteristics of this new therapy. Although defined as a therapy, this new approach to cancer treatment is better identified as a new surgical procedure, which, in spite of this appropriate label, turns out to be in fact a non-invasive method of tumor de-bulking and destruction, at least for cutaneous and subcutaneous ones.
In other words, the procedure in itself is non-invasive, as contradictory as this might seem when describing surgery; still the access to the affected site might involve invasive methods, as in the case of internal organs.
This new procedure relies on the use of a proprietary LASER System, of a wavelength not significantly absorbed by human tissue and emitting a low power broad beam, which cannot produce damage on tissue under normal conditions.
Actually the L.I.E.S.H. approach to cancer treatment is a form of Photo-dynamic Therapy, but much improved from its original form, combined with some of the pinciples utilized in Radio-fractionated Hyperthermia.
Both Photo-dynamic Therapy and Radio-fractionated Hyperthermia are FDA approved; however, due to limitations in the available delivery equipment, they cannot be utilized to treat larger tumors.
The LAILT System I, proprietary of LASE MED, Inc. and utilized in the delivery of the L.I.E.S.H. Therapy, is designed to handle any size of tumor.
The methodology component of the LMI’s therapy involves a simple way of altering the human tissue absorption characteristics, only within the neoplastic growth, so that strictly the malignant tissue will fully absorb the energy from the LASER beam and exclusively the cells constituting the unwanted growth will reach a deadly temperature level, be subject to irreversible damage and therefore die, either immediately or within 48 hours.
In order to practically implement this approach, the LMI’s therapy relies also on the use of something similar to a surgical stain, which is directly injected into the malignant growth and can almost instantly spread uniformly within the entire mass of the unwanted growth.
This product is identified as “the enhancer” because it enhances the cells’ sensitivity to the particular LASER light utilized in this treatment; several different compounds could be used for this purpose, but with less effective results. For this reason it is important to rely on LMI’s proprietary stain, called OxyM, which is water soluble and completely innocuous, in other words with the same side-effects of a saline solution. In lay terms, during an application of the L.I.E.S.H. Therapy, what happens at the cellular level could be described by the following practical example:
Imagine a parking lot full of either white or black cars and completely illuminated by sun light, during a summer afternoon; the white cars will become warm, but the black ones will overheat to a point that it is not possible to simply step into them, before the air conditioning has had a chance to do its job.
This scenario practically describes what happens during a session of the L.I.E.S.H. Therapy, if the white cars are assumed to represent the healthy cells and the black ones to represent the enhanced cancer cells.
The idea of destroying cancer with heat is certainly not new and has been widely accepted for a very long time, but has had very limited applications because it was finally concluded that, in order to ensure destruction of the cancerous growth, it is necessary to reach a temperature deadly to healthy cells as well.
Many attempts have been made to bypass this problem and some methodologies have been developed like:
localized hyperthermia, laserthermia, radio-fractionated hyperthermia and TTT.
But they all have limitations and cannot complete the job, because they cannot achieve total necrosis and, unless the entire mass of neoplastic tissue is destroyed, the cancer will continue to grow.
With the L.I.E.S.H. approach to fighting cancer, it is possible to eventually achieve total necrosis, independently from the original size of the malignant growth, because the therapy is delivered in multiple sessions and because its repeatability is unlimited, due to the absence of really negative side effects.
The number of individuals treated with our L.I.E.S.H. Therapy is constantly increasing; all patients have been and are confirmed cancer cases, most of them already diagnosed as terminal .
Additionally all of our patients, while undergoing and following this treatment, have experienced visible and drastic improvement to their condition, without negative side effects.
Within three months, all patients who had undergone the full required cycle of our therapy, have experienced total recovery, verifiable by MRI in addition to ultrasonogram.
Again, in order to achieve complete remission, it is necessary to destroy the entire neoplastic tissue mass and sometimes this is not possible because, at the sight of such unusually positive results, the patients assume to have been cured and fail to return for the full series of the L.I.E.S.H. Therapy’s application.
Once the entire malignant growth is dead, it may be left in place, while waiting for the immune system to remove all the dead cells and complete the normal healing process; this is a preferred method and it is particularly good for smaller growths.
In extreme cases, when extremely large masses of dead cells are involved, it is possible to either aspirate out said cells, once they start to liquify, or alternatively surgically remove the entire necrotic mass.
In cases where the tumor mass has started to extrude, the portion exposed to air will be the fastest healing one and, after being deactivated, it will eventually dry out and fall off, like a scab.
To this date, not one patient has experienced any problem deriving from having undergone the L.I.E.S.H. Therapy, except for a heating sensation and slight discomfort during treatment, if a local anesthetic is not utilized.
To this date, even patients with the severely damaged or compromised immune system, from previous treatments or disease (Kaposi’s Sarcoma), have not suffered from infection of the treated area; one of the reasons for this positive occurrence is attributed to the fact that the wave length, of the LASER light utilized in this therapy, has been proven by NASA to naturally induce healing.
To the best of our knowledge, as theoretically proven and experimentally confirmed up to this point, all of the above listed information completely summarizes effects and consequences of undergoing our proprietary L.I.E.S.H. Therapy.

I think that the treatments for cancer have become increasingly effective in recent years. Hopefully this is due to contributions and better funding to treat and understand cancer. This new procesure does seem more like surgery than an overall “treatment”, but I think that lives will be saved from it’s use for sure. That is a giant step forward in the fight against cancer. s

I am presently undergoing a course of treatment to kill a tumor in my breast with lymph node involvement at the LaseMed clinic in Little Rock Arkansas. i have much confidence in this bright and enthusiastic lady, Dr. Carpenter, who has a heart of gold and the mind of a scientist. i trust i will leave here without any living cancer in my body.I will be glad to hear from anyone who has questons about my experience here.

Diana,
I am very interested in any report you can give on this therapy. We need to know if this is for real. I had briefly communicated with the woman who wrote the above letter before she changed her email. She had me convinced.
I am very interested to know what is in the injection oxy m that they use during the surgical procedure. Can you enlighten us about it? its function? what drug or chemical is in it?
Hoping to hear from you again with get the most positive news possible.
June 29th, 2008 at 9:12 pm
Hi Rett,
To the best of my understanding at this time , the injection is a form of stabilized and purified chlorophyll. This makes sense, because the tumor must be isolated as the target area for the laser light to penetrate and heat to a level that can kill a tumor mass; deprive it of bloodflow. i believe i am as committed to understanding the truth as anyone can be. My life hangs in the balance in more ways than are apparent.i promise i will keep in touch as i go through this.Tomorrow will be day four for my treatment with the laser. Let’s pray together for my healing and for the success of this amazing woman’s life work. blessings to you and yours, Diana

Hi Bill!
I thank God for people like you who shares their knowledge to help people. My questions are: What is the assurance that after LEISH treatment, the tumor is really dead and would just need the body’s natural defense to eliminate the dead tissue, thus eliminating the chance of metastasis? How would an ultrasound tell you that the tumor is dead simply by it’s inactivity on the ultrasound? How can that treatment decrease the size of a tumor right after treatment when the heat would actually dilate the site, making it swell? Please help enlighten your readers about this. Thank you. Please publish my question on this website.

You will have to contact the facility that does the work with these questions. Sorry I cannot help.
August 29th, 2009 at 10:35 am
Thank you so much for all your information. I was just diagonosed this week and really do not want invasive surgery or chemo. By any chance do you know if there are any clinics or docs in southern California who do this type of laser treatment you speak of? My doc is also surgery/knife happy, lol.
Thanks for any info you can share with me.

Sorry, I cannot help you with LEISH therapy at this time. Seems that program has been having some difficulty that I cannot get to the bottom of.
I suggest you look into Iodine therapy and MMS and DMSO used together. This may not be your choice for total therapy but to assist.
You will find info on this blog about the above and get more detailed conversation at www.natmedtalk.com/

My wife has breast cancer that was at a treatable stage when she had researched for an alternative treatment so she wouldn’t have to go through chemotherapy. My wife is well educated and a very smart person. If it wasn’t for the side affects of chemotherapy she would have done it without seeking an alternative treatment. My wife found LASE MED’s website while researching her type of cancer, so she requested more information about L.I.E.S.H. My wife liked what she had read and what Dr. Carpenter had told her. I will support my wife in whatever her decision is for treatment, so the appointment was made for a consultation at LASE MED. Her tumor was very close to the skin and by the time my wife left for her appointment at LASE MED it started protruding the skin. Two weeks later the L.I.E.S.H. treatment was complete and Dr. Carpenter told my wife she was cancer free. The months that followed showed a reduction in the tumors size from what we can see with our eyes, but the sore grow larger. My wife kept in touch with Wendy Simmons (the office manager at LASE MED) and tried to get Dr. Carpenter to respond to questions on what is going on. My wife became very worried because there were no responses from Dr. Carpenter. My wife told me that Wendy kept telling her the reason that Dr. Carpenter was not responding is because Dr. Carpenter was sick. Nineteen days had past so I called LASE MED and to my surprise Dr. Carpenter answered the phone. I told her who I was and started to explain what was going on with my wife, but it was apparent that Dr. Carpenter knew what was going on because out of her own mouth she told me, “What is going on is not cancer, your wife is cancer free,” Dr. Carpenter got very hostile with me over the phone. My wife’s trust in L.I.E.S.H. treatment became less trustworthy so it was time to seek other treatments. It became a battle of time at this point because appointments for consultations were approximately 6 to 8 weeks to get in and another month for testing and another month to begin treatments. The reason for the long wait is because there are a lot of people with cancer. The day my wife went to the appointment for her tests she had a seizure. The cancer had metastasized and went to her liver and then her brain. She woke from the seizure a day later surprising the doctors and for most of that day she gave the family one last time together. She had told me she felt stupid for trusting in Dr. Carpenter and I told her she is far from being stupid. We try to trust in those that attempt to heal us because they are the ones with the educated guess. I don’t know if anybody has benefitted from LASE MED besides Dr. Carpenter. I’m telling everyone not to use LASE MED. If you have or you’re getting treatment from LASE MED do your self a favor and don’t listen to what Dr. Carpenter tells you about traditional treatments and what the doctors might say. Dr. Carpenter is a QUACK! Please don’t let time go by; get another professional opinion for additional support. There are many traditional treatments now with very good results and they should be advertised to help educate the patient on specific treatments for different cancer issues. For what my wife went through and what the results were from L.I.E.S.H treatments, I’m going to exercise my freedom of speech as an American. Dr. Carpenter claims she invented the machine to administer L.I.E.S.H Treatments. Dr. Carpenter also is the sole operator of this machine when L.I.E.S.H is being administered. If this was a true cure for killing cancer she would be big time rich on the sales of this miracle machine. Instead Dr. Carpenter is ripping people off from their hard earned money and their quality of life. Dr. Carpenter also has a body guard; she claims that it is to protect her from her ex-husband. I guess she never heard of a restraining order or there must be another reason for her protection. It takes a certain type of person to be deceitful and take advantage of vulnerable people for profit especially when it could hinder quality of life or even death. Dr. Carpenter how dare you come to our county with your deceitfulness by fooling vulnerable people out of their money and cheating them from an opportunity to get real professional help. Wendy Simmons this is a question for you to answer in your own thoughts, you have worked at LASE MED long enough to know the business, so how do you sleep at night. No matter what you answer, my own thoughts have an answer for you and Dr. Carpenter. The internet lets any body advertise whether it’s true or faults. The truth of what my wife’s experience at LASE MED is that Dr. Carpenter sounds believable to those who are seeking alternative treatments for cancer. Unfortunately I now know my wife was never cancer free and I will say with out slander to doctor quack, “You have stolen the time that my wife needed for any hope. So Dr. Carpenter said my wife was cancer free, this makes her a liar and Dr. Carpenter took money for her lying and she has stolen time from my wife, this makes her a thief. So Dr. Carpenter represents LASE MED INC and she is a liar and a thief. LASE MED INC SAYS, “NOW IT”S CANCERS TURN TO DIE!” BUT LASE MED INC CAN’T KILL CANCER, SO IT’S LASE MED INCs TURN TO DIE.
The reasons the Little Rock Office is empty is because of malpractice lawsuits.

Diana Lynn French, how are you doing?
November 3rd, 2009 at 11:06 am
My sister died of breast cancer in Sept. of 2009 after spending most of the past 25 years following doctor’s advice and undergoing traditional procedures repeatedly, each time destroying her body more and more. She was unwilling to consider alternative treatments. However, I have a friend I have known for nearly 30 years who underwent traditional therapies in the late 80s only to have her breast cancer return. In 2005-2006 she underwent a 5 day therapy with the laser treatment in Little Rock and came home healthy, happy, and cancer free. She completed the treatment (as was mentioned early on in this information) and had traditional testing done to confirm the breast cancer was no longer malignant or spreading and was disolving from her body. She referred others to this treatment, including those with cancers other than breast cancer and they also had success. In reading the above blog by the gentleman whose wife died I hear a sad, and heartbroken man who is blaming the world and anyone in it for his wife’s death. I do not hear anything about follow up or double checking with traditional ultrasound, or any of the things my friend told me were suggested and encouraged by those conducting the L.E.I.S.H. program. I have lost 13 friends in less than a year to various cancers and my sister too, and all of them pursued traditional treatments. I have never had any understanding of how destroying the body can help a person remove disease from the body. The western medical community has continued to see the body as individual parts and not as a whole and therefore they never prevent illness, mearly treat one thing at a time, irregardless of the damage it does to other parts of the body. My sister’s cancer, as well as that of many of my friends, went the route of this man’s wife, from tumor, to spreading,invasive brain tumors, to death. It is a slow, debilitating, and horrific way to die and destroys families both emotionally and financially, while taking away a person’s dignity and sense of self. L.E.I.S.H. is not alone in it’s concept and in fact nanobyte therapies have been being tested with success all over the world for years. I suggest that there is not likely to be anything wrong with the therapy or the L.E.I.S.H. process, but rather that the malpractice suits which are closing this (and other clinics world wide) are being fed by the medical profession who are unwilling to allow for the possiblity that their way may not be the only way and they are using poor, bereved persons like this gentleman to prevent doctors who have been willing to step out of the “norm” and look for a more practical and positive approach, from continueing their practice and actually healing people, rather than just putting death off. I do not know of anyone who has undergone traditional therapy for cancer who has not eventually died of cancer, whether it be the same cancer originally treated or some other cancer. As I said, the body is a whole and once cancer invades, and the bocy’s defenses are destroyed, cancer continues to move through other parts of the body and grow. I am not a doctor, nor do I have cancer, but both my parents died of cancer, my sister died of it, and I have lost many friends and relatives to it also, and I watch with horror as people I know continue to pursue therapies which have no record of success. The spead which this woman’s cancer spread indicates that she was misdiagnosed in the first place and that she did not complete the treatment process appropriately. It’s time to take a step back and be honest with ourselves about cancer and how we treat it. It’s time to allow people to live, and stop destroying lives with grief and anger over our own inability to understand what is happening to our bodies.
January 23rd, 2010 at 7:49 pm
I was treated at Lase Med, 3 different times. PET scan proved her treatment did not work. She gives you a sheet of paper of people to call about her treatments when you go to her office. I contacted 2 of the 4. The third had died as I already knew her. The treatment did not work on either of the 2 I called. Please stay away from her treatments unless you plan on getting a lumpectomy. Her treatments may kill some of the cancer but not all.
January 28th, 2010 at 9:25 am
This comment is for you Sandra Diebel. I believe you are defending a treatment that doesn’t work the way Dr. Carpenter is selling it and may not work at all. If you believe I’m blaming the world for my wife’s cancer you have a serious problem. You sound just like the three amigos that run LASEMEDINC. Many years ago the research done by Carpenters X husband and colleges studied a possible host that liked to attach them self’s only to cancer cells. Nano tubes are still being studied with promising results using radio frequency to burn the nano after they attaches it self to the cancer cell.
I know L.I.E.S.H. at LASEMEDINC didn’t work for my wife and many other that wrote to me and called me on the telephone. They all said they have experienced similar or the same thing my wife went through. They were all told by Carpenter that they were cancer free yet some died believing in what carpenter said and the others had to get conventional to help prolong their life. I have yet to hear of a positive testimony after a year has past after having L.I.E.S.H. at LASEMEDINC. NOT ONE.
So what is your angle on this.
February 5th, 2010 at 5:12 pm
I agree with Bob Criscuolo that Carpenter is a quack! How can you interpret that a tumor is dead simply by ultrasound. Don’t we know that MD’s rely on CT’s to see tumor’s activity? She is not even a medical doctor. Currently, she has cases filed against her, so she moved out of state,but to those planning to seek help from Arkansas’ government agencies to get their money back, useless… they will just take in your complaints but not act on it. Sorry.
And to those who really are just working for Carpenter, please stop posting as former patients and or friends or relatives who were successfully treated by Carpenter. PLease… stop posting. You have no idea what cancer patients go through.

I had ISLM - Ipsilateral Supraclavicular Lymphnode Metastases - a breast cancer recurrence. I was originally diagnosed in 2002, when I had a mastectomy, axillary dissection and chemo. I was fine for 5 years, then the recurrence happened at the end of 2007. With the recurrence, I declined 40 radiation treatments to the neck and I declined chemo. I was told I would die from this disease.
For 18 months I tried all sorts of alternatives, incl. a very strict vegan diet. Nothing helped, more tumors came up. There were also 4 small tumors at my side chest wall. I even tried hemp oil a la Rick Simpson, which admittedly reduced the largest neck lump by half.
I went to Lasemed in Oct. 2009.
Now, 7 months later, all my side chest wall tumors are gone, all my numerous neck tumors are gone except for 2 areas. One of these is the original (first) neck lump which is now down to about 15% of its size. The other area is a sort of collection point for the dead cell material. The total riddance process might take up to 2 years.
I have also picked up 14 lbs since the treatment, I was down to 92 lbs at my lowest point.
I have my life back. I am glad I fired the onc together with his poisons and his Femara.
I feel absolutely fine and am on no prescription meds whatsoever.
May 28th, 2010 at 8:59 pm
Thank you Marita, for your story. I hope things continue to go well for you.
Will you be returning to Lasemed for further treatment?
Do you feel that your follow up care has been good?
May 28th, 2010 at 9:50 pm
At the moment I do not feel that I need further treatment. What would they be treating, a shrinking tumor? I will only have further treatment if new tumors will appear.
That is, if I can afford it. I am unemployed and the likelihood of me finding a job is very low, because of my age.
The follow up care and communication I received and am receiving from Lasemed has been nothing short of 10 star.
May 29th, 2010 at 12:17 am
Thnak you for your quick reply. As you can see from the previous comments there are mixed reviews on this procedure.
I am so glad that all is working out well for you. This surely indicates that there is some validity to this procedure.
Cancer can be very difficult and many many treatments both alternative and conventional may succeed or fail for no one seems to truly know the correct and absolutely approach to treatment in all cases.
Please keep us updated.

Mr. Durfee, I just wanted to bring attention to your original comment that you posted directly from Lase Med Inc. website.
It is the one that talks about complications with the ” healing crisis” where it starts to ” come out of the skin, heal over and flake off”. This is NOT what happens. I saw it with my own eyes and a friend of mine now has the pictures of what I saw. I took the picture that she has put up on youtube. It is a picture not of a “healing crisis ” as Ms. Carpenter of Lase Med Inc. claims but a fungating cancer tumor/ sore/ ulcer. You will all be able to see that it is not drying up nor flaking off but actually getting larger. The redness is the area that is next to rise up and break open. This did not take 3 months as she claims in her site! It took 6 months of intense pain( which Ms. Carpenter tells patients to NOT TREAT) and swelling before it broke through her skin in Jan. of 2009. I saw it in May of 2009, which is when the photo on youtube was taken. That is 5 months of it getting BIGGER not smaller not healing. Here is a link to more information about Fungating Cancer ulcers:

The above link is a picture of a fungating tumor much like the one my friend Cyndi Babecka had on her breast 6 months after her Lase Med Inc. treatment.
People need to know the truth about what is really going on inside their bodies.
June 4th, 2010 at 7:39 pm
I just wanted to give everyone an update on Leith Holt. She is the lady that started this whole thread. I received an email today from her husband Wayne. Unfortunately like so many of Ms. Carpenters expatients Leith passed away from her cancer on Dec. 28th, 2009. Her husband told me about a wound that she developed 3 months after her treatment at Lase Med. Inc. it sounded remarkably similiar to Cyndi’s fungating ulcer that was cancer. Her husband told me that Leith died believing in Ms. Carpenters treatment and that her cancer that killed her which was in her liver and stomach was not related to the breast cancer. I just wanted everyone to know what happened to her.
June 4th, 2010 at 7:48 pm
Here is a copy of her obituary in case anyone doesn’t believe me:
Holt, Allison View/Sign Guest Book
HOLT , Allison Leith Allison Leith Holt passed away peacefully on December 28, 2009 after a long battle with cancer, fought courageously and always with dignity and optimism. Leith leaves to mourn her loss her husband Wayne and daughter Amanda, both of Calgary, and son Allan, of Toronto. Leith was a deeply spiritual person. Now her spirit being has gone home, leaving a void in the lives of those who loved her. Her fearless courage facing her illness set a standard those who loved her can only strive to attain. Her enduring love and her forthright adherence to what she believed will comfort and guide us who remain throughout the rest of our lives. In keeping with Leith’s wishes, there will be no Funeral Service, and Cremation has taken place. In lieu of flowers, if friends wish to do so, Leith would appreciate contributions to the Calgary Interfaith Food Bank. The family would like to thank especially the doctors and nurses of Home Care Services of the Calgary Health Region for their kindness and medical expertise, which enabled Leith to remain at home throughout most of her illness.

Fungating tumors are the result of a fungal infection in the tumor. Some people now believe that fungus is the cause of many cancers. I have personally seen fungating tumors and the choice of treatment is not an antibiotic unless a co-bacterial infection has also developed. Flagyl is generally applied topically as a palliative care to repress the symtpoms of odor and itch. Fagly is an antifungal medication and people really need to discriminate between the two types of treatments. It will not, of course, cure the tumor.
I am permitting this discussion on the blog to continue for I feel that it is very important that information be shared about cancer therapies.
In my opinion there is no absolute treatment for breast cancer. Women still die every day after AMA condoned conventional therapies of chemo, radiation, surgery and hormonals treatments. I do support the right for every woman to choose their own path as no government or agency should have the right to dictate what an individual does or does not do with their bodies.
With that being said each woman needs to take responsibility for the decisions she makes and to do as much research as possible to base her own decision.
Cancer is rarely discussed in the terms of cure. Survial rate is what is discussed as no doctor or therapy has been able to tout an absolute cure. Testimonals are only as good as the survial rate that they can report. This is why I always encourage people who post their testimonials on cancer to return and update us on their experience.
I am sorry to hear of Lilith Holt’s passing. She had a lot of courage and she wanted to help change the face of cancer treatment so that all women might fare better. For this dedication we can honor her.
Some people do get more than one cancer in a lifetime and sometimes those cancers run concurrently. In Lilith Holt’s case it would be interesting to know if the breast wound she developed ever resolved. Since she passed away at the end of December 2009 and her treatment with Lasemed started sometime before December 2007, (does anyone know the date of her treatment?) I would really like to know if that wound she developed 3 months after her treatment, more than a year and a half previously ever resloved or not. This point was not clarified.
I would also like to know if the liver and stomach cancer she had tested out as breast cancer, indicating that it was a metastasis from her primary breast tumor. Without this information we can not get a clear idea of what may or may not have happened.
What really needs to be addressed is that cancer is not a local disease for most people. It is a state of degeneration or incapacity of the total system of immune response brought on by factors that are still, in conventional medicine any way, unknown.
If a tumor is removed the capacity for cancer still exists in my way of viewing the disease. Therefore cancer patients would do well to work diligently to boost their immune capabilities, destroy pathogens, parasites, eliminate heavy metals and especially fungus that resides in far too many people these days and is what I believe to be the root cause of cancer. I have many other posts on HealthSalon addressing these issues.
Those who do best with alternative modalities take a whole body approach though diet change and incorporating a number of modalites to inhance general health. In light of this perspective Lasemed may not be much better than conventional surgery which rarely brings forth a breast cancer cure.

Thank you for your important and thought provoking comments. I agree with you about Chemo and radiation. I can’t honestly say that I would choose them if it were I diagnosed with a terminal stage 3 type of cancer. It is sad that once one gets aggressive cancers there isn’t much that alternatives have to offer as it takes an aggressive treatment to stop the cancer from killing you at a certain point, it is at this point that many supplements herbs etc, in my opinion can’t hold the cancer off any longer.
This is why it is so important to not get to this point.
Please Arrow, contact Ms. Holts husband. His email is in this tread. Those are the same questions that I asked her husband when he answered me a few days ago about her progress. He did tell me that the stomach and liver cancer was confirmed in tests to not be related to her breast cancer. I asked about the wound as well since I think this is very important.
My main issue that I have with Ms. Carpenter of Lase Med Inc. is that she WARNS patients to not go to another doctor and she scares them with her fear. In my friends case this caused her to not only NOT TAKE anything to increase and highten her immune system, but to also lose valuable time 10 FULL MONTHS, believing as Ms. Carpenter kept telling her that she was cancer free. In the meantime cancer was spreading to her uterus and lungs. Even when Ms. Carpenter saw the photos of her breast through email she insisted that it was fine! She told her to mask the odor with a special honey, this is the same kind of honey that they use on fungating cancer tumors. She finally started Chemo as a last result one year (July of 2009)after going to Lase Med Inc.because the doctors wanted to give her body some time to heal after the Masectomy. At this point the cancer was growing very aggressively and the doctors didn’t give her a good prognosis. The chemo did to her what she knew it would do which is why she choose in the first place to avoid it, it weakened her body tremendously and did not work. After not quite 6 months of treatment one every 3 weeks, ( she had to miss several ) she found out the cancer #’s doubled. One month after she stopped the Chemo (Feb. 2010)she had severe headaches which were confirmed to be caused by tiny seedlike brain tumors. They tried radiation to get rid of the brain tumors for 12 days and this did nothing. She just passed away on May 11, 2010 not quite 2 years after her treatment as Lase Med Inc. She leaves behind her husband Bob and 6 young children. She is greatly missed and mourned.

Now that I am hearing your story more clearly Michelle, I do think that there may be an issue of neglect here on how your friend was treated by this clinic. Upon seeing those photos it seems to me that any reasonable doctor should have taken more action than just advising honey for wound healing. That she could not know or understand about fungating tumors would be hard to believe. Any doctor in their right mind knows that this is a very serious issue, and usually fatal, in which case other approaches should have been taken to alleviate her pain and suffering. Palliative care, while not curing this disease may have extended her life and with greater comfort. When a tumor gets to such a state the possiblity that there are no mets is just about 0. Your friend should have been advised of this.
Of course this is just my opinion based on the information that has been presented to me and there may be other perspectives I am not aware of.
I think I am seeing follow up issues. Patients who have such procedures seem to be traveling from far parts of the country, receive treatment then go home. Any patient who has such serious procedures should not be relying on sending a photograph for follow up care opinions and guidance. They should be having direct contact with the physician. They should also be getting blood tests for tumor markers periodically, at very minimum. I have known cance patients who get tumor markers done every few weeks and moniter the effectiveness of their therapies, but of course this is not always possible with all cancers. Only some cancers provide tumor markers that have some reliability, but breast cancer is one of them.
I have also noted another issue with cancer patients over the years and I found this particularly distressing when a friend of mine tried to manage her cancer care and eventually died. She got into a mind state that patience and persistance would kill the tumor with the selected therapies even when it was clearly obvious that the cancer was spreading. She refused to seek out new therapies and persisted with treatments that were failing her and even repeated therapies that had demonstated to significantly weaken her as the cancer progressed. (chemo) I have seen this occur a number of times in different cancer patients and I just have no explaination for it.
Unfortunatley, the mindset of many physicians is to instill fear into their patients for seeking other counsel. It is rampant in our medical culture even to the point of advising patients not to take vitamins while under cancer care which is absolutely rediculous. There are now some clinics in the US that use standard treatments combined with herbal and vitamin supplementations as well as some alternative cancer treatment modalities. It is starting to look to me that they may be having higher success rates.

I had also contacted Leith’s (not Lilith) husband. He answered me saying that her breast wound was

still being treated (and slowly healing)until Dec. 28, 2009 when Leith died of liver and stomach cancer. That cancer had been diagnosed in April, 2009, and assessed then as terminal. Subsequently a committee of oncology pathologists at the cancer hospital here determined it not to be metastasized breast cancer, but to be a known though rare strain of cancer that specifically attacks the liver and digestive system and is not related to her prior breast cancer. No living breast cancer cells were found in an examination of the breast wound.
In the end, it is clear that Leith did not die of breast cancer or metastasized breast cancer. She died of a separately arising and rare form of cancer specific to the liver and digestive tract that was not discovered by anyone until it had progressed to Stage 4. She was doubly unlucky to have had two kinds of cancer.

The problem here is also that no Doctor or Oncologist will monitor a cancer patient or his tumor after the patient has delved into any alternative treatment. Instead they will immediately want to convince you that you need chemo and/or radiation for your tumor. To them, this is the only “tried, tested and effective” method.
I say that from my own experience.

In light of so much controversy surrounding Lase Med, some may be unaware that in the past few weeks, a YouTube user account named “lasemedinc” has uploaded about twenty new videos, featuring ex patients, and most recently a grieving widowed husband of a former LMI patient who was intentionally misdiagnosed with live cancer, and then sacrificed with hydromorphone.

There are quite a few videos on lasermed and some are from family members of patients who have died. So if you want to watch videos you will get a broad perspective. First I am going to list links dirctly from Lasermed

this is one of the worst cases of cancer I have ever seen at least visually so be prepared. I would ask Dr Carpenter to report on the patients status at this time. Although improvement seems to be noted at the end of the second film I certainly could not say that it looked cured. Melanoma at this level is very difficult to cure due to mets. I would be greatly surprised if there were no mets to the liver or other organs at this point.

Hey Arrow, I asked them the same thing a year or so ago (I think that was one of their first YT videos, it has more hits than the others), and they told me cases like his (the “leg video”) take years to heal, and that this guy didn’t stay in touch like he said he would, left no forward info, so they don’t know. ?
Don’t know if I can post links or not, but that first set isn’t the grieving husband, it’s a guy who works for LMI;
but the “Oncologists Killed my Wife” videos are here:

Thanks for the links, Roscoe.
That was the worst case of melanoma I’d ever seen and I suppose it would shock quite a few doctors too!
I suspect the guy is dead by now. Once melanoma is that advanced it can move into the organs, the brain and probably already had before he ever got to Dr Carpenter’s clinic. I wonder if she had the good sense to advise him of such or to check to see where it may be going. No way for laser treatments for that. He really needed an internal treatment of some sort. If it were me I probably would have done the Cansema tonic and lots of Lugols iodine and if I had money I would have gone to the Oasis of Hope in Mexico.

This is a very informative blog post along with excellent commentary. My opinion is that no one should just rely on a single strategy to defeat cancer! There are plenty of good alternatives available that can be used concurrently. Also, the patient must be very perceptive and very cognizant of the effect of the treatments. If a particular treatment method is not working, new ones should be employed. It can be tough to figure out exactly which elements are effective if one is using a multiple therapy approach, but I also think that some personal intuition can also be employed. The important principle is that if one strategy is not working, another one must be used. It also helps to have someone knowledgeable to help out & consult. The patient and/or her family may not be the best people to do this if they are not familiar with alternative cancer treatments or health and nutrition.
