Sorry to hear about this latest news. I continue to think it significant that there are zero Budwig diet survivors posting on OCF or any reliable indication anywhere that the Budwig diet cures anything let alone cancer. However, I understand the importance of hope.
In that regard, I can say I felt the same way about conventional medical treatment after I endured 4 months of the "maximum" radiation TX and grueling chemotherapy only to have the exact same tumor pop back up, this time with cells that were resistant to radiation and Erbitux. Yet surgery and a second round of radiation and chemo two years ago have me alive now. It is scary and disheartening when treatment does not cure you but "if at first you don't succeed, try try again".
I agree with you about most dieticians being clueless on vegan. My wife and I gave up sugar in any of its insidious forms including artificial sweeteners over twenty years ago but dieticians at my CCC and the hospital scoffed at that and told me to eat ice cream for calories during TX. I get your frustration that they are worthless for "non-conventional" diets.
Perhaps you could extend some of your willingness to accept the Budwig diet on faith and hope alone to real(without the Apologetic quotes - that's the technical term for putting quotation marks around a word to show irony or skepticism) conventional medical treatment.
