"In July 2017, tests showed Cameron was free of cancer."
In February 2017, Madeline Lagarde placed a sizeable phone order for BarleyLife. During the call, she shared what she described as encouraging news.
Madeline and her husband, Dennis, owned and operated the Whole Health Market in Ponchatoula, Louisiana. According to Madeline, customers often asked about products the family personally used and trusted.
Their interest in BarleyLife, she explained, stemmed from their family’s experience during a difficult period.
Their grandson, Cameron, began experiencing intermittent pain in his lower chest area in September 2015. At first, the discomfort was thought to be related to costochondritis, an inflammation of the rib-cage cartilage.
About a year later, when Cameron was fourteen, doctors diagnosed him with Ewing’s sarcoma, a rare form of cancer. Imaging revealed a tumor attached to his rib cage that, due to its size and location, could not initially be removed surgically.
Cameron underwent chemotherapy under the care of oncology specialists. His father, Dennis, later explained that the family also focused on supporting Cameron’s nutrition during treatment.
As part of that approach, Cameron began using BarleyLife as a dietary supplement alongside his prescribed medical care. Dennis described their intention as doing everything they reasonably could to support Cameron’s overall well-being during chemotherapy.
During the early stages of treatment, Cameron had little appetite, which the family found challenging. Around this same period, the family also experienced emotional stress due to the sudden loss of a relative.
Despite these difficulties, Cameron’s parents observed that he maintained a level of energy and resilience that gave them encouragement during an otherwise overwhelming time.
Dennis shared that he had previously used nutritional products during other family health challenges and believed that maintaining nutrition was an important part of supporting the body during stressful medical treatments.
After approximately twelve weeks of chemotherapy, imaging showed a significant reduction in the size of the tumor. Surgery was scheduled for December 2016.
During the procedure, surgeons removed what was described as a small remaining mass. Cameron’s medical team later shared that the outcome was a positive step in his overall treatment progress.
Cameron continued his medical follow-ups and, in July 2017, tests indicated no detectable signs of cancer at that time.
To celebrate Cameron's resilience, he and his father were able to visit Disney World through the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Reflecting on the experience, Dennis expressed interest in helping others better understand how nutrition may play a supportive role during medical treatment, always alongside professional care.
