0404 - Summary/Objective
0405 -
040501 - Follow up ref SDS 30 0000, ref SDS 28 0000.
040502 -
040503 - Patty wants to try the carbon blanket cancer treatment as a case study
040504 - to discover a new cure.  Bob has been objecting to new treatments, but
040505 - may respond favorably to Patty's efforts. Case studies require minimum
040506 - information to develop valid data that can be useful to others, and
040507 - also ensure harm will not result to the patient.  The vendor was
040508 - notified on 991110 to submit information on using the Carbon Blanket
040509 - in a trial.  The vendor has not submitted information and has not
040510 - proposed a case study.
040511 -
040512 - Sent letter to Patty, ref DIT 1 0001, suggesting she propose the case
040513 - study idea to her Dad, may need to have review by Doctor Fogelberg.
040514 -
040515 - Asked her consider coming up on Saturday or Sunday and to attend the
040516 - meetings on 991117, ref DIT 1 4455, per planning. ref SDS 31 5933

040901 - Patty Recommends Trying Carbon Blanket as Case Study
040902 -
040903 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Patty responding to my letter last night,
040904 - ref DIP 4 0001, explaining the next step in assessing a trial of IMP's
040905 - carbon blanket cancer treatment is to see substantial information
040906 - explaining theory, product spec, application plan, as shown in the
040907 - record on 991110. ref SDS 30 0001
040908 -
040909 - Patty says...
040910 -
040911 -     I'm having a hard time.  I'm thinking that you are trying to make
040912 -     sure that this is not a scam by following proffesional protocal.
040913 -     Are you thinking if there is no written doc's to support Mr.
040914 -     Johnsons claim then it must be a scam?  Mr. Johnson is not the one
040915 -     selling anything. And, my thinking is not "Anything to save my
040916 -     Dad" so to speak, but the larger picture of if there is a cheap,
040917 -     simple, painfree way to "cure" cancer and somebody is working on
040918 -     that, think of all the lives this could save in the future.
040919 -     ref DRT 1 1258
040920 - ..
040921 - Patty suggests her Dad could be a case study to support IMP's
040922 - carbon blanket theory...
040923 -
040924 -     My Dad's case could dissprove Mr. Johnson's theory, but could also
040925 -     support it.  What Mr. Johnson needs is case studies to help
040926 -     support his findings. This whole decision would be made by my Dad,
040927 -     but I WILL be trying to talk him into it. ref DRT 1 1599
040928 -
040929 - Patty noted in her letter on 991109 that substantial information is
040930 - needed to support inquiry about IMP's product.
040931 -
040932 -     [On 991112 Patty plans to present this initiative on Thanksgiving.
040933 -     ref SDS 32 0899]
040934 -
040935 -     [On 991113 Bob's condition worsens, Patty suggest this idea to
040936 -     Kathleen. ref SDS 33 2166]
040937 -
040938 - This begins with a statement of Johnson's "findings."
040939 -
040940 - IMP should submit proposed "findings" that a case study would prove or
040941 - disprove?
040942 -
040943 -
040944 -
040945 - IMP Can Submit Carbon Blanket for Case Study Trial
040946 -
040947 - Review on 991109 proposed that IMP submit information to support a
040948 - case study trial, since a "blanket" does not sound like it could cause
040949 - harm, stating...
040950 -
040951 -     Anything to relieve Bob's pain and possibly effect a cure seems
040952 -     inviting.  Possibly vendor might allow Bob to test the use of his
040953 -     product under a marketing scenario to develop evidence of clinical
040954 -     improvement. ref SDS 28 0001

040957 -
040958 - Bob Objects to Further Tests and Treatments
040959 - Doctor Fogelberg Encourages Investigation of Alternate Treatments
040960 -
040961 - Patty's plan to talk her Dad into trying the Carbon Blanket treatment
040962 - is supported by Doctor Fogelberg, who encourages patients to try
040963 - treatments they believe can help, or wish to investigate. ref SDS 29

040965 -
040966 - Patty says...
040967 -
040968 -     My strong feelings are coming from a conversation that my Dad and
040969 -     I had the day after his surgery.  He was very upset and said, "All
040970 -     the millions of dollars that are spent on Cancer Research and
040971 -     there is no cure for it"
040972 -
040973 -     Another time he said "All the things I've done in my life and it's
040974 -     the big "C" that gets me..." ref DRT 1 2340
040975 -
040976 -     I am not so much in denial about my Dad's condition of facing his
040977 -     death, but I am looking at the fact that he could support a theory
040978 -     which may help the rest of the human race. ref DRT 1 4482
040979 -
040980 - Patty might consider calling her Dad about this, keeping in mind the
040981 - caution about avoiding emotional issues from work on 991102.
040982 - ref SDS 17 0990
040983 -
040984 - Kathleen reported this morning that Bob is objecting to further tests
040985 - and treatment. ref SDS 31 5328
040986 -
040987 - Explaining the Carbon Blanket treatment may of itself be therapeutic
040988 - simply because Patty has taken the initiative and feels strongly about
040989 - following up based on discussions with her Dad.  This may help the
040990 - hospital staff work with Bob on the Doctor Fogelberg's ideas also.
040991 -
040992 -
040993 -
040994 - Case Studies Require Controlled Application Based on Information
040995 -
040996 - Patty's plan and motivation to try new ideas should be implemented,
040997 - based on minimum support information from IMP.
040998 -
040999 - To do a trial, or case study, with the carbon blanket treatment, we
041000 - need information on application, theory, product spec, as shown in the
041001 - record on 991110. ref SDS 30 0001
041002 -
041003 - The attending physician needs to review the application to ensure the
041004 - trial will not cause harm.  If professional opinion recognizes
041005 - potential risk this needs to be properly managed, to avoid harming Bob
041006 - and also to avoid exposure to charges of criminal negligence by the
041007 - family.
041008 -
041009 - IMP can submit information and a proposal to support a case study, but
041010 - has not done so.
