Content on this page indicates the breadth and depth of coverage in the Articles and Newsletters on this site, with monthly newsletters on follicular lymphoma starting in 2004.

Upon completion of the registration process and becoming a member you will have access to all the material listed here.

Here’s a tip: To avoid getting trapped in details, as important as they are, it’s a good idea to make sure that the FUNDAMENTAL facts are understood. Be sure to review the Follicular Lymphoma FAQ Page and Follicular Lymphoma Core Concepts Page.

Basic Set of Twelve Articles

Article #1 — Getting Started : A Guide for our Members

In keeping with New Era data coming from several sources we have a new version of Article 1 covering: What a survivor needs to understand, What Needs to be Considered when Diagnosed, The “Take Charge” Landscape, Street Smart Wisdom.

Article #2 — Overview of Follicular Lymphoma

Part A The development of follicular lymphoma. Part B Applicability, introduction, the fascinating lymphatic system, the basics we need to know, the progression of follicular lymphoma, incidence rates, overall survival statistics, prognostic indicators, treatment considerations as of 2016/17, the importance of understanding transformation, immune microenvironment, summary.

Article #3 –The Four Pillar Epigenetics 4PEP Program

A copyright document, scientifically-based, the most extensive ever compiled on lifestyle-based, gene remediation strategies in connection with follicular lymphoma (with application to other lymphoma sub-types). The content here will enable the reader to get started right away with a plan of action. This document is the result of years of research focused specifically on controlling follicular lymphoma as a manageable disorder.

Article #4 –Follicular Lymphoma Transformation

Transformation defined, clinical features, testing, confirming transformation, treatment options including SCT’s, survival statistics, latest developments in genetic research.

Article #5 — Essential Factors in Diagnosis and Testing

This “one of a kind” 39 page article provides important “must know” information to help guide follicular lymphoma survivors in making important clinical decisions. Topics covered include factors in diagnosis, pathology, scan reports, blood tests and new material on genetic testing. Patient subgroups are identified as a guide to making treatment decisions. Information on the latest diagnostic tests is included.

Article #6 — When to Treat and With What Including Relapse Treatments

This is always a controversial issue. Factors influencing when to treat: (the “tipping point”, problematic nodes, bulky tumors, cosmetic concerns, relapse situations, transformation. Common first treatment choices: R-Bendamustine, R-CHOP, LDIFRT. Other first treatments : Chlorambucil, Rituximab, R-CVP, R-Cyclophosphamide, R-Fludarabine, Gazyva, Rixathon, Truxima. Relapse Treatments: SCT’s, Zevalin, R-GDP, R-ICE, Revlimid, ESHAP, R-CP, GEM-P, PACE, MIME, CPOP, EPOCH, GEMOX. New Treatments: Idelalisib (Zydelig), Ibrutinib, Venetoclax, Duvalisib, Copanalisib, Carfizomab, Tazemetostat, Immunotherapies (PD blockers, CAR-T). A personal comment on old vs. new drugs is included. There is an Addendum on Chlorambucil.

Article # 7– Key Questions That Arise in Overcoming Follicular Lymphoma

Detailed answers to 30 questions based on over 28 years of research, personal experience and feedback from fellow survivors of follicular lymphoma. These questions are central to both making treatment decisions and in applying the Four Pillar gene remediation strategies covered in Article #3.

Article #8 — Optimizing Chemotherapy

Practical suggestions and means by which the effectiveness of chemotherapy can be improved — very important in all cases, especially when treating a transformation.

Article #9 — Nutritional and Lifestyle Strategies DURING and AFTER Treatment

Carefully selected suggestions for consideration at a critically important time when survivors need to benefit from practical, scientifically-based information guided by personal experience. Nutritional strategies following treatment, rarely covered elsewhere, are included along with an inspirational video.

Article # 10– Getting Follicular Lymphoma Cells to Die on Their Own

A complete review of the latest research in easy to understand language, describing how a variety of lifestyle activities can create conditions in the body leading to the natural death of cancer cells. Follicular lymphoma cells are particulary responsive to these strategies.

Article # 11– Epigenetic Regulators of Follicular Lymphoma: A Reference Guide

A compilation of the latest scientific research confirming and explaining how epigenetic processes, principally in response to lifestyle and environmental exposure, regulate the expression of genes driving and potentially reversing follicular lymphoma. Coverage of 21 common natural strategies is discussed including in part: nutrition and selected supplements; glucose management; environmental toxins; exercise; sleep; stress; optimization of vitamins D, E and K. This research authenticates the Four Pillar gene remediation strategies in Article #3. Correction of faulty gene expression is regarded as essential in leading to extended survival time with follicular lymphoma, and possible ultimate resolution of the disorder.

Article # 12 — My Personal History with Follicular Lymphoma

Details by month and year of my experience managing follicular lymphoma since July 1988.

Note: All educational material in the articles and newsletters is written to be easily understood by the average reader. It is all based on scientific data.
