Canadian Woman’s Successful Use of Cuban Vaccine Gives Mesothelioma Patients Hope

A Cuban vaccine called CIMAvax EGF, which is currently undergoing U.S. testing for its effectiveness in treating mesothelioma and other cancers, has apparently saved the life of a Canadian woman diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer.  Judy Bryden of Regina, Saskatchewan was originally diagnosed with the terminal form of cancer back in 2016 and given just a year to live.

diagnosed cancerShe initially pursued traditional forms of treatment in Canada, including chemotherapy and radiation therapy. After that protocol failed to stop the advancement of her disease she and her husband began researching alternative treatments, and that is when they learned about the success that the Cubans were having with their remarkable cancer vaccine. They contacted an outfit called CubaHeal, which is specifically set up to help people from outside of Cuba to visit the country for treatment, paid a small fee for the process, then traveled there for treatment and to purchase several doses of the vaccine to bring back to her home. The total cost of the trip was $14,500, a fee that was well worth it as her physician says she is now in remission.

CIMAvax has long been discussed as offering great hope for mesothelioma patients. It activates the immune system against a specific protein that has been identified as facilitating cancer cell growth.  It is already in clinical trials in the United States following an agreement between the Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in New York and the Cuban government that was struck in April of 2015. The Phase I clinical trial began in January of 2017 and is expected to take at least two years, followed by another year or two for the Phase II portion of the trial. The drug has already been approved for use in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Colombia, Cuba, Paraguay and Peru.

    My step-daughter is suffering from pleural mesothelioma diagnosed in Jan. 2019. She was on an experimental program that failed. This week, her doctor from the CHUM in Montreal has told her to cease all treatments. She is desperate and now looking for the Cuban CIMAvax EGF program. Could you give us all pertinent details on how she can join this program. It is urgent !

    Good morning,
    I am sitting here at IHop with my aunt who recently received her 6-8 month life expectancy prognosis due to her recent lung cancer diagnosis. I’ve been doing research into what possible treatments could be available for her and came across the Cima vax. She has so far completed 5-6 chemo treatments along with 30 radiation treatments. She is now receiving immunotherapy in hope that she will see some sort of progress.

    I was wondering if you could provide me with any additional information in regards to CIMAvax
    How do we go about kick starting the process?
    Any information would be so greatly appreciated.
    Thank you so much.
