Guest guest Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 What Causes Cancer JoAnn Guest Aug 13, 2006 13:38 PDT http://www.cancertutor.com/AltTreatments/Alt_Critical.html About one and a half years into my alternative cancer research I had already run into several instances where I heard about microbes being found inside of cancer cells. During this time I just shrugged it off. It was not that I didn't believe it, but I couldn't determine whether such microbes were a cause of cancer or just an opportunistic parasite inside a weakened cell. Finally, the evidence started to mount, and I started looking deeper and deeper into the issue. While reading the book Sick and Tired?, by Robert O. Young, PhD, and by looking at several other books, all of the pieces of the puzzle were finally put in place. It was perfectly clear that " cancer microbes " were getting into normal cells and their presence was turning the normal cells into anaerobic cells (an anaerobic cell does not burn oxygen like a normal cell, rather it ferments glucose to get energy). The definition of an anaerobic cell is a " cancer cell. " A Nobel Prize was given in 1931 (Otto Heinrich Warburg) for the discovery that a cancer cell is anaerobic. I have seen several different descriptions of this cancer microbe in the cancer cell. Some people called it a virus, some a fungus, one called it a mould, others called it an acid-fast bacteria (which mutated into a fungus) and one called it an amoeba (e.g. trichomonad). Which of these is correct? Probably all of them. I should note that this variety is an indication of independent research and that everyone was not just copying an original source. In fact, there were numerous independent sources of this information, some dating back more than several decades (e.g. Dr. Royal Rife, M.D. in the 1930s)!! So how is it possible that a microbe can be the final cause of cancer? Consider this possible explanation: 1) Due to a weakened cell membrane, which can be caused by a carcinogen or many other things, a microbe is able to enter inside a normal cell, 2) The microbe intercepts the glucose entering the cell (most microbes eat glucose), 3) The microbe excretes " mycotoxins, " dangerous hormones and perhaps a thick slime (mycotoxins are the normal excretions of microbes), 4) Because mycotoxins are very, very acidic, the inside of the cell becomes highly acidic, which is a characteristic of cancer cells, 5) The cell's mitochondria (which convert glucose into energy) get very little glucose because the microbe has intercepted most of the glucose, 6) What the cell's mitochondria does get is lots of mycotoxins and other harmful garbage, which it cannot convert into energy, 7) The mitochondria's energy level (ATP provides the key energy of a cell, but ATP gets its energy from the mitochondria) plummets because it is living in a sea of filth, meaning the ATP energy drops, 8) Signals are sent to the insulin receptors and glucose receptors on the cell membranes to grab more glucose, 9) More glucose enters the cell, but most of the glucose is intercepted by the microbe and the mitochondria are bathing in an increasingly large sea of mycotoxins, dangerous hormones and possibly slime. 10) Because there is a limit to how high the activity of these two types of receptors can become there is no way for the mitochondria (and thus the ATP) to get enough glucose and energy, 11) The cell is now officially cancerous because its energy level drops (the ATP energy levels can be compared to the steps of a ladder) and it is believed to now be anaerobic. I have ignored the DNA issues and other issues. I don't know how accurate this description is, but it gives the reader some idea of how microbes can cause a cell to become anaerobic. I think it is not a matter of fermentation, rather it is a matter of the mitochondria being starved of glucose and choking in a sea of filth. But understanding the " microbe theory " of cancer did not fully explain why these microbes were able to get into the cells of some people, but not others. The evidence is clear that many things can damage the cell wall membranes or other parts of the cell wall. For example, trans-fatty-acids attach to cell walls and block " ports " that allow glucose to get into the cell, causing type 2 diabetes. But it is also possible these fats can cause weaknesses or gaps in the cell walls allowing microbes to enter. It turns out that a " carcinogen " is anything that weakens or damages cell walls, allowing microbes to enter in. There are many, many things that can do this, such as: 1) A very acidic diet, which allows the microbes to change forms, proliferate and become more aggressive, 2) Leaky gut syndrome, which allows unprocessed food to get into the blood stream, 3) Numerous chemicals and processed substances, 4) A substance that cuts internal tissue, forming a small pool of blood in the tissue, which allows the microbes to concentrate and weakens cell membranes (over 90% of all cancers start in tissue), etc. So what " causes cancer, " the many things that damage cell walls and allow microbes to enter in, or the microbes themselves which cause the cells to become anaerobic? The answer, of course, is both. The bottom line is that in the briefest way of describing things, cancer is caused by the following chain reaction: 1) Farming practices (which also indirectly affects both dairy and meat) have virtually eliminated trace elements from our diet and have introduced many very bad things into our bodies. Our food is more acidic, fungus grows in foods it never used to grow in, etc. The nutrients in the foods of today are but a shadow of the nutrients in the same foods of 60 years ago. My father warned me of this trend over 40 years ago. 2) The way food is processed is an abomination. Numerous substances are added to food for appearance or flavor (e.g. trans-fatty acids, food dyes, etc.); enzymes are killed by cooking; salt is virtually always added; aspartame is added to drinks to make them sweet; MSG (which is hidden in more than 30 different food additives - virtually every processed food in America has MSG in it but you will never see it on the label), and numerous other chemicals, are added for a variety of reasons, etc., etc. 3) Most people have horrible " Western diets " composed of too much meat, too much dairy products, too much salt, too much processed foods, etc. etc. Even people who claim to " eat healthy foods " have poor diets, from a cancer perspective. For example, peanuts are considered a " healthy " food, but peanuts are loaded with fungus. So is tobacco. The difference between a " healthy diet " and a " cancer diet " will be made clear in the next lesson. 4) The net result of all three of the above items is that our bodies are filled with yeast and fungus, which thrive on these kinds of foods. They love the acidic nature of the foods we eat. The attempt of our body to maintain a constant pH also causes a multitude of health problems. It turns out that at least one microbe has several different forms: a virus, a yeast, a fungus, a mould and a bacteria. This is not to say that all bacteria are pleomorphic, but at least one of them is and it is the one that is most often associated with cancer. It is these pleomorphic microbes that may explain why so many live viruses end up in vaccines. All of this was known about, and published in scientific journals, in 1950 and before (see the book: Four Women Against Cancer by Alan Cantwell, M.D., who was himself involved in these discoveries). Even Royal Rife, in the 1930s, knew of a microbe that was sometimes a virus and sometimes a bacteria. But these discoveries were suppressed and ignored. The reality is that the medical profession's version of biology, namely that of Pasteur, is totally wrong, and that the theories of the far more talented Antoine Bechamp, and those of Claude Bernard, Günther Enderlein, Virginia Livingston, and others, were right and have been suppressed for profit reasons (i.e. in case you have been living in a cave the last 60 years and haven't noticed - the medical profession is not interested in what really causes disease, they are interested in treating the profitable symptoms of disease). 5) Now things get tricky. When a carcinogen is introduced into the body (and one such carcinogen is caused by leaky gut syndrome), it changes the cell membranes or blocks ports in the cell wall. In other words, individual cells suddently become vulnerable to the entry of the microbes (e.g. fungus, mould, bacteria, etc.) into normal cells. 6) Once the microbes enter into the normal cells, the cells become anaerobic. Microbes are sometimes referred to as scavengers, but regardless of what they normally do, when they get inside a cancer cell it causes the cell to become anaerobic. 7) According to the superb book: Cancer - Cause, Cure and Cover-up, by Ron Gdanski, another thing happens when these microbes are inside the cancer cell. As the cancer cells divide, the cell walls of the new cells are hardened by DNA corruption (via the fungal DNA) and this allows far less oxygen to get into the cell. This may be one reason why the presence of the microbe causes the cell to become anaerobic. His book is also a superb introduction to why so many cancers form in tissue, mentioned above. 8) In any case, it is known that when a cell becomes anaerobic (i.e. glucose fermentation), a dense layer of enzymes coat the outside of the cell wall (or the cell wall becomes " thick " ), which would also inhibit oxygen from getting into the cell. Over the past several decades, beginning even before Royal Rife in the 1930s, an absolute consensus has developed among the top alternative cancer researchers (most of whom were M.D.s or PhDs) which makes it perfectly clear that the cancer microbe is the final cause of cancer. 9) The definition of an anaerobic cell is a " cancerous " cell, hence the end result of this chain of events is cancer. Here is a sampling of some good books on the cancer microbe, for further reading: Four Women Against Cancer, by Alan Cantwell, M.D. (a superb history of the discovery of pleomorphic microbes) The Cancer Microbe, by Alan Cantwell, M.D. Sick and Tired?, by Robert O. Young, PhD (the most advanced of the books) The Germ That Causes Cancer, by Doug A. Kaufmann Cancer Cause, Cure and Cover-up, by Ron Gdanski How Cancer is Treated With all of this background, there are two basic ways that cancer is treated in the world of alternative medicine. The first way is to kill the cancer cells, either directly or indirectly (e.g. indirectly by building the immunity system). Laetrile (i.e. Vitamin B17), carrot juice with beet juice, the Brandt Grape Cure, food grade hydrogen peroxide, ozone therapy, and many, many other treatments, appear to work by killing the actual cancer cells and/or by building the immunity system. However, even in treatments that are thought to kill cancer cells, the treatment may in fact be killing the microbe inside the cell. When the microbe(s) are killed inside a cancer cell, the cell may revert to a normal cell. Because the vast majority of the research community, including the researchers of natural products, do not clearly understand that there is a microbe inside the cancer cell, they may not know what to look for. The second way is to knowingly target the microbes that are inside of the cancer cells. One of the major justifications for believing that the microbes are what cause cancer is the fact that when the microbe is killed, the cancer cell may revert to becoming normal again, meaning aerobic (oxygen burning). Those treatments that kill the microbes have a distinct advantage over those that kill the cancer cells because there are no dead cancer cells, with their toxins, that the body has to process and get rid of. Treatments that are known to kill the microbes (or revert them to being harmless) inside the cancer cells include: 1) MSM and DMSO (I do not discuss this treatment because the FDA has crushed the use of DMSO and I do not have a treatment plan - also, DMSO, although fairly nontoxic, can be dangerous if you don't know how to handle it correctly), 2) The Royal Rife Machine. The AMA destroyed all of the Rife Machines they could find. There are a number of modern versions of the Rife Machine, but most of them are not as effective as the original. Even though Rife was interested in killing the microbes inside the cancer cells, apparently, many of the cancer cells themselves died. 3) The Robert O. Young diet and supplement plan. This plan essentially eliminates all yeast/fungus/mould from the body, including those inside of the cancer cells. Either the yeast/fungus/mould are killed or they revert to a harmless variety. There are other treatments that have the potential to kill the microbes inside of the cancer cells, but I do not have enough evidence to mention them as such. How to Rate Various Alternative Cancer Treatments Cancers are rated as Stage I, Stage II, Stage III, and Stage IV. There are many different ways to define these stages, because there are many different kinds of cancer according to orthodox medicine. As you will understand in a moment, I like to rate alternative cancer treatments as Stage I, Stage II, Stage III, and Stage IV. We will liken this discussion to a house fire. Suppose your house catches on fire and you have access to four things to put it out. First, you have a squirt gun (a " Stage I " treatment). Second, you have a fire extinguisher (a " Stage II " treatment). Third, you have a garden hose (a " Stage III " treatment). Fourth, you have a fire station near your house and they have fire hoses (a " Stage IV " treatment). Suppose you leave a lit cigarette on a tablecloth on a small table. At this point it is a Stage I fire and your " Stage I " treatment (the squirt gun) can easily put it out. But then suppose you don't realize you left your cigarette on the table and the tablecloth and table catch on fire. This is a Stage II fire and your Stage I water gun won't put it out, but your fire extinguisher (Stage II) will. And so on. Note that if the house has two rooms on fire, and the roof on fire (Stage IV), several garden hoses (Stage III) will not put the fire out. It takes two or more fire hoses to put it out. In determining the effectiveness of alternative cancer treatments, I would propose to rate them as a " Stage I " treatment, a " Stage II " treatment, a " Stage III " treatment, or a " Stage IV " treatment. " Actually, there are hybrids because some treatments take a certain amount of time to work, regardless of the cancer stage a patient is in. A " Stage II " treatment, by definition, is a treatment that can significantly contribute, as part of a complete treatment protocol, to a cure rate of 80% or above for a " Stage I " or " Stage II " cancer. Ditto for the other definitions. As an example, we know that the Dr. William Donald Kelley metabolic treatment had a 93% cure rate on patients that had at least 1.5 years to live. We know this because he treated 33,000 cancer patients and had a 93% cure rate on those who lived at least 1.5 years. This would categorize it as approximately a " Stage III " treatment (using an 80% cure rate as the dividing line). How does chemotherapy and radiation rate on this scale? Chemotherapy and radiation do not rate at all, not even for Stage I. Their combined cure rate is 3%, if you cut through all of their statistical tricks (see my article " Introduction to Alternative Cancer Treatments " or the video " Cancer Doesn't Scare Me Anymore " by Dr. Lorraine Day, M.D.) Using the above example of a squirt gun, fire extinguisher, etc., chemotherapy is more like using a sledgehammer to put out the fire. Radiation is more like using a rifle, while standing outside the house, to put out the fire. I never even mention a " Stage I " alternative cancer treatment. Any alternative treatment that can cure a Stage I cancer will also cure a " Stage II " cancer. There are at least 150 Stage II alternative cancer treatments that I know of. There are at least 50 Stage III alternative cancer treatments (e.g. Essiac Tea, Kelley Metabolic, carrot and beet juice, etc.). However, generally several of these will be combined in an actual treatment. One of the key breakthroughs in my research was learning that several " Stage III " treatments will rarely cure a " Stage IV " cancer!! It is like trying to put a " Stage IV " fire out with several garden hoses. It takes one or more " Stage IV " cancer treatments (i.e. fire hoses) to deal with a " Stage IV " cancer. It is for this reason that I rate alternative cancer treatments. I have seen too many failed attempts to cure a " Stage IV " cancer using several " Stage III " treatments. What Are The Stage IV Cancer Treatments? Note: The official list of Stage IV Cancer Treatments can be found in the top section of my main web page. Articles on some of these treatments can be found in the " Step 4 " section of the main web page. This section is very general. On my main web page there is a section of articles which I link to that I wrote on individual cancer treatments. These are divided into three sections: Stage IV treatments, strong Stage III treatments, and other treatments. This section is always the most current section to find the " Stage IV " cancer treatments. My definition of a " Stage IV " cancer is this: 1) The cancer has spread throughout the body, or 2) It is a fast growing cancer or fast growing tumor, or 3) The cancer has a very high fatality rate (e.g. pancreatic cancer), or 4) A person has been on chemotherapy and radiation and has been sent home to die. Many of these cancer patients cannot be saved because one of their major organs has been killed or a major organ is so damaged it cannot be saved. It is common for a person to be sent home to die, then start an alternative treatment, feel good, then suddenly die. This generally means one of their organs died or they got an infection, such as sepsis (due to a weakened immunity system), or 5) A person has an estimated one year to live or less, or 6) Orthodox medicine rates them as Stage IV. The highest true cure rate I have ever seen for people slashed/burned and poisoned by orthodox medicine, and sent home to die, is 50%. This is because half the people sent home to die have problems, such as a dead major organ, that simply cannot be fixed even if you kill all the cancer cells in their body!!! Excluding this group of people, there are only a few Stage IV alternative cancer treatments (i.e. the fire hoses) that are usable. These are, in my opinion (my main web page always has the most up to date list): 1) Cesium chloride and DMSO, plus potassium, with other things. Such a treatment is described in detail in an article called: " Cesium Chloride Protocol " at: Cesium Chloride Protocol I use this Cesium Chloride Protocol at the heart of my " Checklist " addendum for Stage IV cancer at: Treatment for Stage IV Cancer Patients. 2) Aloe Immune (product). It has been discovered that there are 8 critical sugars (monosaccharides) that are involved in the immunity system communications. These 8 sugars are called the glyconutrients. Two of these are common to our diets, but the other 6 are not. As part of the glyconutrient array there is a key " very long-chain " acemannan molecule. There are dozens of aloe vera products, but I am only aware of one product that has this key " very long-chain " acemannan molecule - Aloe Immune (Aloe Immune also makes Aloe Vera Acemannan). Aloe Immune is the ONLY aloe vera product strong enough for Stage IV cancers, though the product " Advanced Ambrotose " is close behind. For information on how to obtain this product see my " Treatment for Stage IV Cancer Patients " article linked to above. 3) The Johanna Brandt Grape Cure. I have an article and detailed protocol for this treatment as well. This treatment only allows the consumption of one food - period - whole purple, red or black grapes. It was discovered around 1920. The problem with this treatment is finding high quality organic purple (red or black) grapes year around. I have had many people tell me they cannot obtain the necessary grapes. So the question becomes: can anything be substituted for the grapes and still have a Stage IV cancer treatment? It is fairly certain the combination of carrot juice and beet juice can be substituted for the grapes, if nothing is consumed with the juice (note: if other foods are allowed with the carrot juice and beet juice, it is only a Stage III treatment). Also of great interest is the question of whether other super-fruit drinks can be substituted, such as: Noni Juice, Mangosteen or Wolfberry Juice (also called Goji Juice)? This question remains unanswered. Brandt Grape Cure 4) The Robert O. Young treatment. At the current time you have to figure this one out by yourself. You can buy his two relevant books: a) Sick and Tired? Reclaim Your Inner Terrain b) The pH Miracle - Balance Your Diet, Reclaim Your Health Using these two books, to design your diet, coupled with the InnerLight supplements, coupled with a few of the " Checklist " article treatments which can be used with his diet and supplements, will produce a superb cure rate for those who have not already been given a death sentence by chemotherapy and radiation. The absolute minimum InnerLight supplements that are needed are SuperGreens, Prime pH, MycoDetox l and ll, Fibrada and SpectraZyme. I plan on putting such a treatment plan together, but given that my " spare time " amounts to only a few hours a week, or less, I have no clue when this article will be finished. 5) Oxygen Therapy, especially using ozone. There are dozens of oxygen therapies. Most of them are definitely NOT Stage IV cancer treatments. However, one and only one of them is a true " Stage IV " treatment. The Bible on this subject is the book: Flood Your Body With Oxygen, by Ed McCabe. He has several publications that discuss AIDS and cancer. I now have an article on the one and only one " Stage IV " ozone therapy: Stage IV Ozone Treatment 6) Herbs. There are scores of herbal therapies. Rene Caisse created her Essiac Tea, which was definitely a Stage IV treatment. However, I currently classify it as a weak " Stage III " treatment. When Rene was treating cancer patients her herbs were prepared the same day they were used (or no more than a couple of days earlier). Today, even the best Essiac Tea is weeks or months old. Furthermore, dehydrating the herbs can virtually destroy their bioavailability (i.e. they are useless). The only way to get a true " Stage IV " herbal treatment is to grow the herbs yourself and make your own herbal tea or go to a practitioner who knows what he or she is doing, and who grows their own herbs. I am not sure how effective this is, but it is possible that taking an oxygen supplement, such as Prime pH, or drinking fresh wheatgrass juice, or perhaps using key essential oils, will significantly help the bioavailability of dehydrated plants and herbs. In any case, see the book: Herbal Medicine, Healing & Cancer, by Donald R. Yance or the book: School of Natural Healing by John R. Christopher. Other Comments There are other Stage IV treatments. Some Stage IV treatments may be too dangerous, such as Protocel plus Paw Paw, and I am still gathering information about their safety. Some Stage IV treatments have been destroyed or suppressed by the Cancer Merchants (e.g. the Rife Machine, the Multi-Wave Oscillator (MWO), and many others). Some Stage IV treatments need far more research, such as MSM plus DMSO and high dose I.V. Vitamin C therapy. Some treatments I know about but simply have not had time to research them, such as " cell salts " (see the book: The Biochemic Handbook) and many others. For those of you who read my " Introduction to Alternative Cancer Treatments, " you know there is literally a morbid and sadistic race to see whether alternative medicine can derive Stage IV cancer treatments faster than the Cancer Merchants (which includes quackwatch, the FDA, the AMA, the ACS, etc.) can suppress, destroy or deceive people about them!!! Concerning the Dr. Young treatment, I will enhance how he describes how his treatment works: Suppose you buy a goldfish and an aquarium. Suppose at first the aquarium water is clean and the goldfish is healthy. Suppose, due to neglect, the water in the aquarium gets dirty. As a result, the fish gets sick. The answer of orthodox medicine to this situation is to give the goldfish chemotherapy, radiation, a couple of dozen other prescription drugs and do a liver transplant. That is how they are trained by the pharmaceutical industry controlled medical schools. Dr. Young's solution is to clean the water in the aquarium (i.e. what he calls cleaning the " inner terrain " ). By doing this, the body of the goldfish can heal itself. Likewise, when our inner terrain is " clean, " fungus and yeast cannot survive. Even the fungus and mould in the cancer cells cannot survive. That is how it treats cancer and a host of other diseases. The Cancer Diet The next lesson in this tutorial will talk about the " cancer diet, " but for now I just want to mention that the cancer diet is just as important, if not more so, than the cancer treatment. It is the cancer diet that controls most of the " inner terrain " just mentioned. As I have looked at many alternative cancer treatments that worked, and those that didn't, on a case-by-case basis, it seems that even a small glitch in the cancer diet (e.g. the person eats meat) can totally sabotage the effectiveness of the cancer treatment. If cancer cells are being fed, they are very resistant to most treatments. " Buying Time " For the Treatment to Work Several decades ago two-time Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling, and an associate Dr. Ewan Cameron, did experiments in Scotland that proved Vitamin C therapy can extend the lives of terminal cancer patients six-times over orthodox treatments. The significance of this is that a cancer patient may include in his or her treatment items designed specifically to extend life, but not necessarily designed to cure the cancer. These treatments can literally " buy time " for other, more powerful treatments to work. For weak cancer patients, meaning those will little energy, this tactic is very critical. Weak cancer patients have a different " cancer diet " than strong cancer patients (see the " cancer diet " article for details). Weak cancer patients also need treatments that will " buy time " for the more powerful treatments to work. I talk about examples of treatments that provide a powerful boost of nutrition or antioxidants that can buy time, but I list of few of them here: Vitamin C, Vibe, Juice Plus+, and the super-fruit juices (Mangosteen, Noni Juice, and Wolfberry Juice). Due to the amount of glucose in the super-fruit juices they should generally only be used in the first month of treatment. The Importance of Healthy Cells to Treating Cancer Non-cancerous cells, which I loosely refer to as " healthy cells " or " normal cells " may be just as important to treating cancer as the cancerous cells are. The reason I say this is that many cancer patients (who are not directly killed by chemotherapy or radiation), at least 40%, die of malnutrition. In other words, their healthy cells are so toxic, starved for nutrients, and have a loss of energy, that the patient dies just as if he or she had starved to death without cancer (except for the toxicity). Of course, chemotherapy partly causes this, but even without chemotherapy cancerous cells steal nutrients from normal cells. Cancer cells not only steal nutrients, they also steal glucose and other sugars from normal cells. The reason cancer cells do this is that they use fermentation to create energy. Fermentation takes about 15 times more energy than the oxygen-burning healthy cells. In addition, there is what is called the " cachexia cycle. " In this cycle, the cancer cells burn glucose and produce a waste product called lactic acid or lactate. This lactic acid is expelled by the cancer cell and it goes to the liver. The liver then converts the lactic acid back into glucose. The glucose goes back to the cancer cell and the cycle starts again (i.e. the lactic acid is formed from the glucose). The problem is that the conversion of glucose to lactic acid (in the cancer cell) and the conversion of lactic acid to glucose (in the liver) both consume enormous amounts of energy, which is effectively stolen from healthy cells. Those cancer patients who have the " cachexia cycle " or " lactic acid cycle " are, by definition, Stage IV cancer patients. These patients need cesium chloride to stop the cycle in the cancer cells and they need hydrazine sulphate to stop the cycle in the liver. All of this is explained in the " Checklist " article for Stage IV cancer patients. Thus, healthy cells have both a problem with energy and a problem with nutrients (and possibly with toxins). It is the damage done to these healthy cells that leads to at least 40% of all cancer deaths (i.e. the patient dies before their cancer kills them). This is interesting because chemotherapy and radiation kill far more healthy cells than cancer cells. But it may be the toxic damage done to normal cells (that survive the treatment) that eventually causes many cancer patients to die. There is no doubt that the health and energy of the normal cells in key organs, such as the liver, is especially important in treating cancer. Because of these things, an alternative cancer treatment, especially for Stage IV cancers, should flood the body with high-density nutrients, both in supplement and food form. This can make the patient feel good immediately, but its main purpose is to treat the healthy cells with much-needed energy and nutrients. The products which provide these nutrients, and antioxidant power, are the same ones that " buy time " for the cancer patient: Vitamin C, Vibe, Juice Plus+, Noni Juice, Mangosteen, and Wolfberry Juice, and others. This should not come as a surprise because " buying time " frequently amounts to protecting the normal cells from killing the patient via malnutrition. However, the key organs are also critical to both " buying time " and a powerful up-front nutrition burst. Sometimes this burst of energy and feeling good is confused with curing the cancer. These products do not kill cancer cells as quickly as they make the patient feel good. Juice Fasts Very few of the alternative cancer treatments use a " juice fast, " but instead they use a " cancer diet. " However, I want to discuss juice fasts for reasons I will mention in a moment. Juice fasts have been around for several decades. I have already mentioned the Brandt Grape Cure, which is a juice fast and I have mentioned the possibility of substituting carrot juice and beet juice for the grapes. The Breuss cancer treatment is also a " juice fast. " The theory of a juice fast is that the body (i.e. the cancer cells) has NOTHING to eat or drink except what you put into it (i.e. what you eat or drink). If you drink milk shakes and eat chocolate pie for your diet, your cancer cells will have a feast (more than you did). But what if a person EATS NOTHING and drinks only the juice from one or two natural vegetables, fruits, herbs and/or other plants? In this case, as above, the body has nothing to eat or drink except what you put into it. In the case of the Brandt Grape Cure, the body only has access to the juice from whole purple, red or black grapes. These grapes are known to have more than a dozen cancer-killing nutrients. Thus, during the Brandt Grape Cure the cancer cells only have access to eating cancer- killing nutrients!! Furthermore, the glucose in the grapes helps " carry " the cancer-killing nutrients into the cancer cells. People sometimes wonder how drinking grape juice can cure cancer. If the grape juice is used in a " juice fast " it can cure cancer. A juice fast can last anywhere from 14 to 42 days, but should never exceed 42 days without a break. During a juice fast it is generally wise to have the blood checked for key minerals and other nutrients every couple of weeks. After the fast, a good cancer diet menu can be used for a week or two, then, in some cases, the juice fast can be safely repeated, if necessary. The importance of " juice fasts " is made even more important knowing that the FDA, FTC, Codex (the U.N. equivalent to the FDA) are trying to destroy the AVAILABILITY of the natural substances used in alternative treatments. For example, 7 people have been arrested, spent time in jail or have been harassed by the feds in an attempt to keep the long- chain acemannan molecule off the market. Cause Versus Symptoms Everyone knows that orthodox medicine treats symptoms, not causes. In fact, the Cancer Merchants have no interest in knowing what really causes cancer, because that information could lead to a simple, natural cure (and already has many times). In fact, as mentioned above, farming, food processing, diet, the inner terrain, the immunity system, and a carcinogen are the root cause of cancer. However, in some cases it is necessary to treat the symptoms of cancer, until a person has time to treat the cause. For example, most alternative cancer treatments work by killing cancer cells, directly or indirectly. After the above discussion of the Robert O. Young diet, it is clear that these treatments are only dealing with the symptoms of cancer. The real cause of cancer is the corrupted inner terrain and a very weakened immunity system. Nevertheless, to save the patient's life, it is necessary to treat the symptoms before treating the cause, unless of course, you are on the Robert O. Young treatment, which treats cancer by cleaning the inner terrain. In many cases I have seen, after an alternative cancer treatment is done, the cause of the cancer, a poor inner terrain, is still firmly in place. While everyone knows this with regard to orthodox treatments, few think of this with regards to alternative medicine. Thus, if a person just " pops pills " to cure their cancer, when the cancer is cured the patient still needs to deal with their inner terrain and immunity system. This is another reason I am fanatical about the " cancer diet. " The " cancer diet " on my web site meets the criteria of the Robert O. Young books (with exceptions that are explained). Thus, while the treatment is treating the symptoms of cancer (i.e. the cancer cells), the diet is treating the cause of the cancer AND not interfering with the treatment!! I have seen too many cases where a person is cured of cancer with alternative medicine, only to have the cancer return in a few months. It is important for a cancer patient not to return to their former way of life the minute they think they are cured. I will give you another example, the Lorraine Day diet/treatment. Her diet consists of a very specific diet of mostly whole, raw foods. The diet is what actually " cures " the cancer because it builds the immunity system. You cannot " cure " cancer without building the inner terrain and immunity system!!! However, she also has a couple of items that treat the " symptoms " of cancer (i.e. the cancer cells), namely carrot juice and barleygreen powder. No matter what treatment you use to kill the cancer cells, or revert them back to being normal cells, you must also do things to " cure " your cancer for the long term by using a special diet. Perhaps it would be best to think of a " short term " cure (i.e. treating the symptoms of cancer) and a " long term " cure (i.e. treating the inner terrain and immunity system. It is very important to separate in your mind those things that treat the " symptoms " of cancer (i.e. the cancer cells) and those things that " cure " cancer (the build the inner terrain and immunity system). Too often people think their cancer is cured when the cancer cells are dead and then they go back to their old way of life. The third lesson in this tutorial is about what to do after you are in remission. The point to remember is that a good rule of thumb is to have 80% of your diet, after treatment, be in harmony with the " cancer diet " that helped cure you. The other 20% should not be French fries and milk shakes, but reasonable foods. How to Use Testimonials Unfortunately, many people have made mistakes putting their treatment together because they did not know how to interpret accurate, truthful and well-meaning testimonials. I will talk about two major problems with interpreting testimonials. First, suppose a person goes on the " Raw Food " cancer diet (e.g. carrot juice, beet juice, etc.), along with a number of other things, and cures their cancer. Then they put a testimonial on the Internet. Suppose further that they had a Stage III cancer and had never had orthodox treatments. Now suppose another person is looking at the Internet. Suppose they have Stage IV cancer by virtue of their having had orthodox treatments and were sent home to die. They may look at this testimonial and say to themselves: " Wow, that treatment cures cancer, I am going to use it. " Unfortunately, the Raw Food cancer diet, coupled with a long list of other Stage III treatments, will probably not cure a Stage IV cancer patient. Thus, you must make sure that you are using testimonials that are equivalent in intensity to what your cancer is. However, even doing this presents a potential problem. The problem is that this same treatment might be able to cure a Stage IV cancer, but overall has a very low cure rate for Stage IV cancers. Let me explain. Suppose the hypothetical cancer patient who was cured above was a Stage IV cancer patient. Virtually every Stage III cancer treatment will cure a small percentage of Stage IV cancer patients. Thus, suppose the cure rate for the Raw Food diet on Stage IV cancer patients is 15% (I don't know what it is, but this seems reasonable unless a special vegetable juice is substituted for the grapes in the Brandt Grape Cure). Now suppose that one of these 15% patients puts a testimonial on the Internet. Now on the Internet there is a valid testimonial from a Stage IV cancer patient. This testimonial is read by another Stage IV cancer patient. If the second cancer patient uses this treatment they have a 15% chance of being cured. This may sound good, but in reality there are Stage IV cancer treatments that have much, much higher cure rates than 15%. Testimonials are marvelous things, and I wish there were tens of thousands more of them on the Internet, but the reader must understand how to interpret these testimonials. Cure Rates Having said that the cure rate for some Stage IV treatments is much, much higher than 15%, a person might wonder what the real cure rate is for orthodox medicine. When a person thinks of " curing " cancer they naturally think that the person who is " cured " of cancer will die of old age, but not from cancer. This is logical. A person is " cured " of cancer if they are not going to die of cancer or the cancer treatment - EVER. So using this definition, what is the " cure rate " for orthodox medicine? Less than 3%. Yet, when you go to the American Cancer Society web site you see cure rates of 45% or 55% or whatever. What is going on? What is going on is that you are seeing the tip of the iceberg of the deception of orthodox medicine. They use a useless " 5-year cure rate. " Many cancers are slow growing, thus they have a very high " 5-year cure rate. " But orthodox medicine has not cured them, and probably has not even extended their life. They have simply used deceptive statistical tricks. My article " Introduction to Alternative Cancer Treatments " and my free, online eBook " The War Between Orthodox Medicine and Alternative Medicine " go into excruciating detail on many of the deceptive tactics of orthodox medicine. To do such a similar analysis of the intentional and well thought-out deceptions on the quackwatch website would require a very large book. Killing Cancer Cells in Test Tubes (In Vitro) Many times people get excited about substances killing cancer cells in test tubes, normally called: in vitro (literally: in glass). While this is an exciting discovery, it may not be as important as it seems. The first question that must be asked is this: " Does the substance, if taken orally, get past the digestive tract? " The digestive tract is capable of neutralizing many, many substances. For example, only 5% of EDTA molecules (EDTA is used for chelation of heavy metals), if taken orally, get past the digestive tract. That is why most EDTA is given in an I.V. Laetrile is another substance that is far more effective if taken in an I.V. Now let us look at molecules that do get past the digestive tract. What if one of these molecules " hits " (i.e. comes into contact with) a healthy cell before it " hits " a cancerous cell. One of four things can happen, and three of them are bad for cancer patients. First, the healthy cell can absorb the nutrient. This means the nutrient is not available to kill cancer cells. The good news is that cancer cells steal a lot of nutrients from healthy cells so they get more than their share of these nutrients. Second, the healthy cell can break apart the molecule and make it ineffective to killing cancer cells. This is exactly what happens if a laetrile molecule " hits " a healthy cell before it " hits " a cancer cell. Third, suppose the molecule does get to a cancer cell. The cancer cell can prevent the molecule from entering. There are many reasons for this. Cancer cells are coated with a layer of enzymes that prevent many things from entering the cancer cell. Cancer cell walls may be more rigid than normal cells, not allowing certain molecules to enter. And so on. Fourth, the healthy cells can ignore the molecule and the cancer cells consume it. This is the ideal and amounts to the molecule " targeting " the cancer cell, assuming the cancer cell absorbs it. In conjunction with these items, there is a fifth option. This molecule can " bind " or " combine " with another type of molecule, a " carrier molecule, " thus going wherever the carrier molecule goes. This is another method of targeting cancer cells if the carrier molecule targets the cancer cells. Cancer cells have various " receptors " that grab certain types of molecules. Two of these are insulin receptors and folic acid receptors. In addition, some receptors are overexpressed, meaning they are more likely to steal these nutrients from normal cells. For example, at least two universities are trying to use the folic acid receptors of cancer cells to target cancer-killing chemotherapy agents. Such receptors may also be useful for alternative medicine. There are other problems the cancer cell-killing molecule has in doing its job. There may be supplements or foods or chemicals that can break apart the molecule, or in other ways render it harmless to cancer cells. For example, Vitamin C supplements can render Protocel useless. Chlorine breaks apart many cancer cell-killing molecules and in some cases can convert them into cancer-causing molecules! On the other side of the ledger, there are some molecules that will enhance the effectiveness of other molecules. Paw Paw will enhance the effectiveness of Protocel. This, however, is not necessarily a good thing. It can cause cancer cells to be broken apart too fast for the body to process the waste (called " lysing " ). The bottom line to all of this are the answers to these two questions. First, " How many molecules of this substance are needed to kill a cancer cell? " And second, " How can we figure out how to get enough molecules of this substance into the cancer cells without damaging normal cells? " In short, inside the human body is a vastly different environment than inside a glass test tube. Killing cancer cells in a test tube is just the beginning of a long voyage of research. A Paradox While reading the prior section you may have noticed a paradox. Many of the super-fruits, such as Tahitian Noni Juice, Xango Mangosteen and Berry Young Juice (i.e. wolfberry juice) have super high antioxidant ratings and a mass of critical nutrients. Your first instinct will be to use these juices (and other items) to quickly build the nutrient level of the healthy cells. But wait a minute. If you are on the Robert O. Young diet, these fruit juices are forbidden because they contain too much glucose (i.e. they directly and indirectly feed the fungus in your body). So what do you do? You have two choices. You can take these drinks (or other products such as Vibe or Juice Plus+) for two, three or even four weeks, to build up the nutrition level in your body, then stop taking them and start the Robert O. Young diet. Or you can skip them altogether. Don't get me wrong, the Robert O. Young diet contains plenty of nutrients, some of which are dense, but the quickest way to get these nutrients to the normal cells is the above products. Which you should do really depends on how long you have to live and what plan you want to be on. This is just one example of a situation where a specific diet or product cannot be used with other products or treatments. For example, there is a long list of things that absolutely cannot be taken with hydrazine sulphate, Protocel, the Robert O. Young diet (or any other " cancer diet " for that matter), and so on. Nothing can be taken with the Breuss treatment or Brandt Grape Cure. The lesson to learn is this: When you are on a treatment that has restrictions, AFTER you have put your plan together, go back and check to see if you have a conflict. How Many Cancer Cells Are There In The Body Another key consideration in dealing with cancer is knowing how many cancer cells there are in the body. This is not so much a numerical determination as it is a determination of how far the cancer has spread throughout the body. If cancer is contained to a small area of the body, such as the prostate gland or a medium size tumor, the cancer is not going to kill the patient (note: this is a general comment, with brain cancer, and other rare situations, a small tumor can kill a person, but not because of the volume of cancer cells, but rather by causing swelling or blockage). If we think about how cancer kills people, we can understand why this is true. Cancer kills people (and I am ignoring chemotherapy and radiation caused deaths) for two main reasons: 1) The nutrients and energy stolen from healthy cells by cancerous cells, and 2) The toxins released by cancer cells (e.g. lactic acid, mycotoxins released by the microbes inside and outside of the cancer cells, etc.). These toxins may overwhelm the body or kill or damage a vital organ. Note that if there is a small area of the body with cancer cells, as mentioned above, there will not be very much nutrients or energy stolen by the cancer cells, or enough toxins released by the cancer cells, to kill the patient. It is the spreading of cancer that provides enough damage to kill the patient. I quote from Dr. Philip Binzel, M.D.: " We are treating the symptom [of cancer] - the tumor, and we are doing absolutely nothing to prevent the spread of the disease. The only thing known to mankind today that will prevent the spread of cancer within the body is for that body's own defense mechanisms to once again function normally. That's what nutritional therapy does. It treats the defense mechanism, not the tumor. The woman with a lump in her breast is not going to die from that lump. The man with a nodule in his prostate gland is not going to die from that nodule. What may kill both of those people is the spread of that disease through the rest of their bodies. " Philip Binzel, M.D. - Alive and Well While a person with a small amount of cancer, contained within a single area, might be tempted to use a Stage IV alternative cancer treatment, be aware that some Stage IV alternative cancer treatments contain items that can be dangerous (e.g. cesium chloride or DMSO). Thus, it is best to not overkill a simple cancer. The " Checklist " article on this web site is designed to treat up to and including Stage III cancer (assuming the person meets the " cancer diet " requirements). Even meeting half of the " Checklist " article minimum requirements (e.g. by meeting all of the requirements in checklist #1, but with only taking one item from each of the other checklists) should be sufficient to treat Stage I or Stage II cancers. On the other hand, there is ZERO TOLERANCE as far as the " cancer diet " is concerned, even for very small cancers!! Treatment Plan Options When a person has cancer, they have far more options for the treatment of their cancer than they probably realize. There are more than 250 alternative treatments for cancer. Over 200 of them are listed on another web page on this site. Some of the alternative treatments are based on key enzymes, others on key phytonutrients (e.g. nutrients in plants not otherwise classified as vitamins, minerals, etc.); others are based on getting oxygen atoms to the cancer cells, and so on. There are a large variety of different treatment plans. Most of these work in a self-defeating way. For example, mangosteen contains phytonutrients that kill the cancer cells, but the glucose and other sugars in mangosteen simultaneously feed the fungus and cancer cells in the body. It is like two different football teams, which will win? It is frequently hard to tell. But there is one food for which it is known which team will win. The Brandt Grape Cure, mentioned above. In her treatment, when a cancer patient gets nothing but grapes, it will cure a high percentage of cancer patients. The Brandt Grape Cure, taken from her book, is a " Stage IV " treatment. The interesting thing is that when grapes and grape juice are mixed with other cancer treatments, the effectiveness of the grapes and grape juice drops dramatically. This is because the cancer cells are being fed by other treatments. For example, when the grapes are combined with other substances, such as apple juice, the cancer cells are getting the glucose from two sources, grape juice and apple juice. This is PROBABLY NOT a " Stage IV " treatment (even though apples do contain some cancer-killing nutrients)! It is an issue of density. The density of cancer cell-killing nutrients in grapes (with their skins and seeds) is very high. Combining this food with foods which have less dense cancer killing nutrients, leads to a diluted treatment that does a better job at feeding the cancer cells than killing them. Carrot juice with beet juice, Mangosteen, Noni Juice, and/or wolfberry juice may also be a " Stage IV " treatment if that is the ONLY thing the cancer patient consumes. I just don't know at this point what their cancer cell-killing density is. If there were two such foods (hypothetically, say purple grapes and Xango Mangosteen), then they could be combined in a treatment. It is necessary to calculate how much of what you are eating and drinking are feeding the cancer cells versus how much is killing cancer cells. Of course, it is far more complex that than. The Robert O. Young diet solves this problem by forbidding all foods that feed the microbes that are inside the cancer cells. In fact, there are so many options that it gets very, very confusing to the cancer patient. That is why there is a " Checklist " article. In fact, it is confusing to everyone who does this type of research. That is why if a person is on a treatment they should check back, at least monthly, to the " Checklist " article to see what new features are there. No matter what treatment plan or plans you choose to go on, there is a good chance one or more plans can be significantly enhanced by incorporating recent discoveries. For example, it has only recently been discovered that anyone on the Brandt Grape Cure diet should exclusively use purple concord grapes (red and black grapes are acceptable only when purple grapes are not available), with both their skin and their seeds. This was not known in the days of Johanna Brandt. Furthermore, grape seed extract, grape skin extract and quercetin supplements were not available in the 1920s. They are available now. Also, it was not known when Johanna Brandt wrote her book that chlorine would turn certain cancer-killing nutrients in grape juice into cancer-causing agents. The soil today is different than the soil of the 1920s. And so on. My point is that it would be a mistake to blindly follow her original diet and ignore discoveries made since the 1920s, and to ignore problems that have arisen since the 1920s, although if people only followed her advice, they would far outlive those who rely on chemotherapy and radiation. Also, different treatment plans usually can be combined together. For example, the Raw Food diet (e.g. carrot and beet juice, etc.), which primarily kills cancer cells, can be combined with the Rath Cellular Solution, which stops the spreading or metastasis of tissue cancers. You, the patient, not only have the option of using a well-proven method of treating cancer, but you have the additional option of combining most treatment plans together (note: some treatment plans cannot be combined). All of this is part of the " supercharging " of alternative cancer treatments. Virtually all of the best treatment plans can be supercharged with new discoveries and other treatments. Showing how to supercharge alternative treatment plans is a major purpose of this web site. Why You Need To Know How Treatment Plans Work The first thing to consider is how various treatment plans work. It is critical to know exactly how various treatment plans work in order to pick the right treatment plan for a given situation. The first thing necessary to discuss is that most, but not all, alternative treatment plans fall into several main categories (these items kill cancer cells): 1) The first category is to get more oxygen to the cancer cells. If cancer cells are deprived of oxygen they thrive. Without oxygen, your cancer will spread like a fire. As the cancer cells get more and more oxygen the cancer will spread slower and slower. When they get enough oxygen, they will die. Several of the better treatment plans are designed to get oxygen to the cancer cells! There are some creative ways of doing this. For example, antioxidants generally fall into this category because they free up oxygen molecules already in the body. Hydrogen peroxide, on the other hand, brings new oxygen molecules into the body. 2) A second general category is alkalinity. Cancer cells are very acidic and if their alkaline level gets too high (8.0 or above) they will die (note that it is the CANCER CELLS, NOT THE BODY, that can achieve a pH of 8.0). There are several ways to get the cancer cells to that alkaline level, but using cesium chloride is by far the most proven way of doing this. Cesium chloride not only kills cancer cells, it also stops the spread of cancer immediately and stops the pain of cancer within one or two days in many cases. 3) The third way is to kill the cancer cells directly through nutrition (instead of oxygen). There are many, many nutrients that kill cancer cells. Purple grapes, with their seeds, have over a dozen cancer- killing nutrients. The problem is getting enough of these nutrients to the cancer cells. One of the problems is getting the nutrients past the digestive system. This is where colon cleanses and avoiding chlorine become particularly important. There are also ways to trick the cancer cells into ingesting cancer-killing nutrients. Short fasts (12 to 24 hours) are the best way of doing this. There are also ways to " bind " molecules together, where one molecule easily gets into the cancer cell carrying the other molecule with it, and the second molecule kills the cancer cell. 4) A fourth general category is to stop the spread of cancer. I just mentioned that oxygen does that, but there are other ways as well that deal with the collagen that is between the cancer cells or in inhibiting glucose from getting to the cancer cells. The theory is that if the cancer cannot spread, then when the existing cancer cells die - so will the cancer. So far, the cure rates for the methods that use these approaches have not been proven to be as high as the cure rates for some of the other methods of attack. These methods should be supplemented with methods that directly kill the cancer cells. 5) The fifth way is to build the immunity system. These techniques, usually special diets and supplements, essentially build the correct pieces of the immunity system that deal with cancer (most of the parts of the immunity system do not deal with cancer cells). Then the immunity system takes care of the cancer. With special diets, what you don't eat is just as important as what you do eat. These treatment plans (e.g. macrobiotic, raw food, Jon Barron, etc.) do not work as fast as other treatment plans, and should be strongly supplemented for people with less than a year to live (this is only a rule of thumb). Raw foods have far more critical enzymes than cooked foods (cooking kills the enzymes), and the trend in alternative cancer treatments is clearly towards raw, organic food diets that totally exclude dairy products, meat, etc. For those who have been sent home to die by orthodox medicine this item is far less important. This is because their immunity system is so destroyed by orthodox medicine that even tripling their immunity system elements will still not have an immediate effect. Nevertheless, it can have a long term effect. 6) A sixth way of killing cancer cells is to starve them to death. Cancer cells require massive amounts of glucose and other sugars to survive. Normal cells require far less glucose and other sugars. The Breuss diet is a 42-day " fast, " where the only foods that are allowed contain very low levels of glucose and other sugars (actually it is a little more complicated than that). The cancer cells literally starve to death, but normal cells can survive the " fast. " (Note: normally when alternative health people talk about a " fast, " any long term " fast " includes food, but the types of food allowed are very restricted. Also on " fasts " unlimited amounts of natural water or distilled water [for detox reasons] are generally allowed.) These are not the only ways alternative treatments deal with cancer, but most of the more proven treatment plans fall into these categories. It turns out that cancer cells are not only very different than healthy cells, they are very fragile and easy to safely kill. Also, I should mention that virtually all types of cancer can be treated identically. Exceptions are brain cancer, because of the " blood brain barrier, " bone and bone marrow cancer, because there are no blood vessels that directly get to the cancer cells, and leukemia, which originates in the bone marrow. These, and perhaps some rare types of cancer, require special consideration. [Note: I have articles on several specific kinds of cancer (e.g. brain cancer, leukemia, etc.). Links to these articles can be found in Step 5 of my main web page.] What you really need to know is how fast these treatments work. For example, a person with less than 4 months to live should not use laetrile or metabolic therapy (actually they should use a Stage IV treatment) because these treatments do not work fast enough. They are strong enough to be Stage IV treatments, but they do not work fast enough to be an effective Stage IV treatment. Likewise, in this situation it is too late to depend on the immunity system being built up fast enough to help. There is nothing wrong with building the immunity (for later use), but it won't be built up fast enough to help within 4 months. Extending the Life of the Patient It has been shown that the use of large doses of vitamin C (e.g. 10 grams of high quality vitamin C a day by I.V.) can extend the life of a cancer patient significantly. However, by itself, vitamin C cannot cure cancer in most cases. But if a treatment plan such as Vitamin C can extend life by several months or several years, it gives the patient additional time to find treatments that cure the disease!! In other words, suppose a terminal cancer patient is given 4 months to live. There are certain alternative cancer treatments, which by themselves are not very powerful, but which can significantly extend the life of the patient to allow more time to cure the cancer!! What A Realistic Cancer Protocol for Stage III Must Accomplish A real treatment plan generally contains a dozen or more treatments at the same time. Here is an example why so many treatments are needed. A realistic cancer protocel must accomplish the following things: 1) Super nutrient supplements and foods provide a quick and massive burst of nutrients and energy very quickly. This will, as a minimum, buy time by providing the healthy cells the nutrients they are starving for. Examples: Vibe, Juice Plus+, Tahitian Noni Juice, etc. 2) Antioxidants also buy time in ways that are not fully understood (e.g. vitamin C), although it is known they get more oxygen into the blood. Examples: Supercritical Antioxidants by New Chapter, Berry Young Juice (wolfberry), etc. 3) Build the immunity system, which will in turn benefit the patient and kill cancer cells indirectly. Examples: MGN3 (or BioBran), Beta Glucan, Aloe Vera, etc. 4) Kill cancer cells directly (actually these treatments can sometimes be combined with a plan designed to revert cancer cells to normal cells). Generally, several treatments will be combined to accomplish this critical task. Examples: Carrot juice with beet juice, Essaic Tea, etc. 5) Kill the yeast, fungus and mould in the cancer patient's body (this is just as important for cancer patients who are on a plan designed to kill cancer cells!!). Examples: Olive Leaf Extract, Oil of Oregano, etc. 6) Protect the liver, kidney and other vital organs. This requires a colon cleanse so the liver has a place to put the toxins it has processed. Examples: Milk Thistle Extract, Olive Oil, etc. 7) Break apart the enzymes that surround the cancer cells so more of the cancer-killing nutrients can get inside the cancer cell. Surprisingly enough, it is other enzymes that accomplish this task. Examples: Vitälzym, Wobenzyme N (both of which contain several such enzymes), etc. 8) Get oxygen into the body. Examples: chlorophyll (i.e. " greens, " such as barleygreen), hydrogen peroxide I.V., etc. 9) Stop the spread of the cancer. Example: The Rath Cellular Solution, which also protects the body against heart disease, is simple, inexpensive and is specifically designed to do this. Oxygen therapies also do this to some degree. 10) Another possible major cause of death in cancer patients, especially those who have been on chemotherapy and radiation, is infections. Many cancer patients die of sepsis, pneumonia, and other types of infections. I have no supplements for this item. Other things that might need to be addressed are: shrinking tumors that pose an obstruction; removing heavy metals (which interfere with the immunity system); dealing with leaky gut syndrome (which may be a major factor in the sequence of events that causes cancer); and dealing with immunity system communications (e.g. Ambrotose and the long-chain acemannans, etc.). Note that some supplements and foods will accomplish more than one of the above tasks!! The " Checklist " article (Stage III) goes into more detail on these issues. Remember above that several garden hoses will not treat a Stage IV cancer. Stage IV treatments are in a class all of their own and need an emphasis on different issues than a Stage III cancer. More Details You should also understand that some supplements take time for the body to get used to. For example, if you were to take Vitamin C for the first time, and you took 5 grams of Vitamin C, very little of it would be absorbed by the body. The establishment likes to use this fact to " prove " mega supplements are useless. But in fact, over a several week period, the body adjusts to the Vitamin C and it absorbs more and more of it, especially if you have done a colon cleanse (see the second link: Jon Barron to learn how). It is best if you take small doses several times a day. The same is true for most other vitamins and supplements that are taken in larger than normal doses (i.e. in mega doses), such as Niacin (Vitamin B-3). A word of warning, if you are going to take mega doses of Vitamin C, or any other supplement, it is important to build up to the desired dosage over several days or a couple of weeks. For example, with Vitamin C you should only start at 3 grams a day (one gram with each meal), and take at least a week, preferably two, to build up to 15 grams (3 grams, five times a day). Since liquid Vitamin C is not easy to find (do NOT mix Vitamin C with water prior to use), it is generally best to take it in crystal form. This build-up is not only designed to prevent diarrhea, but also for safety reasons. Because so many treatment plans allow mega doses of Vitamin C, if you are contemplating using alternative treatment plans for cancer you should immediately start taking 3 grams of vitamin C a day (1 gram after every meal) to start building up your tolerance. Few treatment plans would prohibit this (e.g. Protocel would forbid this, as would the Breuss treatment). Need I even say that you should purchase " natural " vitamins, preferably from a health food store, although most pharmacies now sell natural vitamins. Be very careful with the brand name. Some vitamin products have a brand name that implies they are natural, but they are not. For example, if buy vitamin E, you need to make sure it says: d-alpha tocopherols, not dl-alpha tocopherols. Read the Jon Barron book for more information on buying supplements. A Warning To Those Going From Remission to Regression Another thing to understand about alternative cancer treatments is that apparently some treatment plans become less effective the longer you stay on them or the cancer patient is put into remission and then comes out of remission into regression. This may be because some cancer cells survive the treatment plan a person is on, and these cancer cells continue to multiply. After these cancer cells multiply it is far more difficult to cure the cancer because such a high percentage of the person's cancer cells are resistant to the treatment. The situation may be similar to viruses, where some viruses are accidentally resistant to, or mutate to adjust to, a virus killing substance, and it is these viruses that multiply. This may be exactly what is going on, but in a cancer environment. In fact, there is a clear correlation between these scenarios and what frequently happens in an orthodox setting. It is known that about 2% of the cancer cells of people who are on chemotherapy become resistant to all forms of orthodox drugs. These cells are called " Multiple Drug-Resistant " (MDR) cells. Nothing in orthodox medicine can kill them. What frequently happens in orthodox medicine is that a person on chemotherapy develops these MDR cells, but the treatment is able to kill most of the non-MDR cancer cells. When this happens, because there were only a small percentage of these MDR cells (a large number, but a small percentage), the patient is put into " remission. " Remission simply means the obvious symptoms of cancer are gone, it does NOT mean that all of the cancer cells have been killed. In fact, when a cancer patient is put into remission it is highly likely that there are a large number of MDR cells that are still alive and are doing quite well. During the time a cancer patient is in remission it is these MDR cells that are dividing!! Thus, when a person comes out of remission, into regression, a large percentage of their cancer cells may now be MDR cells!! Now, orthodox medicine is helpless because a huge number of MDR cells, and now a high percentage of all of the cancer cells, are now in the person's body and there is nothing orthodox medicine has that can kill them. This is why there is such a very high death rate for patients who come out of remission and are in regression. These MDR cells, which now may be in the majority, cannot be killed by orthodox medicine!! To compound the problem, the cancer patient's immunity system was largely destroyed before the patient went into remission. Thus, the patient faces two huge obstacles to survival. And that is why so many people in regression die. These two reasons are why orthodox medicine has such a very poor REAL cure rate of 3% or less (peeking through their maze of deceptive statistics - see my " Introduction to Alternative Cancer Treatments " article for more information). When these patients are sent home to die, they turn to alternative cancer treatments. It is not known how many natural cancer treatments actually kill MDR cells. The only treatment that has been clinically proven to kill these cells is Paw Paw, a cousin of graviola. http://www.annieappleseedproject.org/pawpawfruita.html A person in regression should absolutely take Paw Paw. However, Paw Paw must be taken at exact times during the day. See my article on graviola and Paw Paw for more information (this page will allow you to link to my Protocel article, which has even more information): Paw Paw Information It is not known whether any alternative cancer treatment other than Paw Paw kill these MDR cells. However, when the treatment you are on is not working, or becomes less effective over time, you should get the hint to switch to something a lot more powerful. It may be you need to switch to a Stage IV treatment AND you need to insure there is something in the treatment that can kill the MDR cells, which right now, is Paw Paw. MDR cells do not form from alternative cancer treatments. However, let us consider the following scenario. Suppose a person has been on chemotherapy and thus has MDR cells. Suppose the person then turns to alternative medicine and the alternative treatment kills all of the cancer cells except the MDR cells. The patient is then put into remission by alternative medicine. But now suppose the MDR cells multiply and the cancer patient is in regression. As with orthodox medicine, it may be that the majority of the cancer cells are MDR cells. This makes the treatment even more difficult for alternative medicine, especially if the person uses the same treatment that did not kill the MDR cells the first time. The bottom line is that anyone who has had chemotherapy should use a treatment that kills MDR cells the first time. The only known treatment to do this is Paw Paw, as just mentioned. However, Protocel works in a very similar way to Paw Paw, and may also kill MDR cells. This is an item currently under research. Use Paw Paw for now. While MDR cells do not form from the use of natural substances, is there the possibility that some cancer cells do become resistant to an alternative cancer treatment plan? They would not be MDR cells, but they would be resistant to a specific treatment. This possibility is not likely, but it may exist. They would be cancer cells that become resistant in the same way as the virus example mentioned above. In any case, it is critical to keep in mind the various things that might be going on. The solution might turn out to be as simple as changing vendors, because there are a lot of alternative treatment vendors who make substandard and inconsistent products. The solution may be to change treatments, because not all alternative cancer treatments are equally powerful. Or the only solution might be to add Paw Paw and learn how to use it right. More on the Digestive System For those who have not been on chemotherapy, you have a wide variety of treatment options, many of them based on natural foods. However, for those who have been on chemotherapy, things get complicated. We have already talked about one complication, chemotherapy destroys a person's immunity system, thus forcing some patients to use treatment plans designed to kill cancer cells. But there is another thing that chemotherapy does that can be just as important to understand. Chemotherapy can destroy a person's stomach lining and the lining of their intestines. When that happens, a person's digestive tract can no longer absorb many of the nutrients in foods and supplements. Many cancer patients die of malnutrition, long before they die of cancer, because chemotherapy has destroyed the lining of their digestive system and they literally die of nutrient starvation. I have written a special article for cancer patients who are on feeding tubes, are fed by I.V. or have had serious damage to their digestive tract. This article is at: Article Cancer Diagnosis I occasionally get emails from people who are not sure they have cancer. They don't want to get a needle stuck in their body for fear it might spread the cancer, so they are not sure they have cancer. One of the nice things about alternative cancer treatments is that whether a person is very sick or very healthy, in almost every case, an alternative cancer treatment will make them healthier!! Thus, whether they have cancer, or don't have cancer, a " Stage III " treatment will do them good. However, it is important to note that if a person MIGHT have " Stage IV " cancer, then it is a REQUIREMENT to get a medical evaluation!! The reason I say this is that some of the Stage IV treatments are risky and should not be taken by a healthy person. Furthermore, if a person does have Stage IV cancer, they had better use several Stage IV treatments!! Can chemotherapy and radiation proponents say the same thing about their treatments? Would you have surgery, chemotherapy or radiation performed on you if you were healthy? Would you use these treatments as cancer prevention (believe it or not doctors do recommend surgery as a prevention measure in some cases - usually breast cancer)? Yet, with rare exceptions (such as cesium chloride or DMSO), a full and complete alternative cancer treatment will make anyone feel better and make them healthier, even if they don't have cancer. Am I In Remission? One of the most difficult things about alternative cancer treatments is knowing when a person is cured of their cancer. I do not know of any safe or sure ways a person can know if their cancer is gone. A CT Scan is out of the question. A single CT Scan has the radiation equivalent of 16 mammograms or 400 chest X-Rays!! If mammograms cause cancer, which they are known to do, imagine how much cancer is caused by CT Scans!! A PET scan is the most accurate way to determine if your cancer is gone. But remember it also is an X-Ray, so it should be used only after you are virtually certain the cancer is gone. The radiation damage of a PET scan is from ionization, which is another way of saying free radical formation. Dose up on Vitamin C to bowel tolerance (or one of the other super-antioxidants) before submitting to one. By the way, Protocel has the highest ORAC rating on the planet - 1.4 MILLION. See: PET scan information MRIs are by far the safest way I know of to determine if a person still has cancer, but they are not as accurate as a PET scan. Because MRIs use magnetic fields, instead of high frequency X-Rays, it is thought that they are very safe. However, they are very, very expensive, unless your insurance company will pay for it. If your insurance company will not pay for it, then you may be able to negotiate a reasonable price (far below the published price, close to what an insurance company actually pays). Tumor markers are virtually worthless after a person has been treated for cancer. Alternative cancer treatments are not designed to reduce the number of proteins in the blood, which most tumor markers are based on. Even measuring the size of a tumor can be worthless to those who have been on alternative medicine. Some alternative cancer treatments shrink tumors and some do not. Unless there is a medical problem caused by the SIZE or LOCATION of the tumor, alternative medicine people don't care about the tumor. It is the cancer cells alternative medicine is after, not the size of the tumor. It is in this situation where a PT scan would detect the cancer cells were gone. More Comments on Tumor Markers I also get emails from men with prostate cancer who are treating their cancer and wonder why their PSA level is not going down. First of all, the PSA marker is a very poor way to tell if a person has cancer or to tell how the treatment is doing. But there is another issue to consider. Let us consider a person in the middle of the ocean where there are two holes in the bottom of their boat. One hole is one inch in diameter, the other is a foot in diameter. Which hole should the person fix first? The cancer in the prostate is not going to kill anyone. It may be the source of the spreading of the cancer, but the cancer in the prostate itself is not going to kill anyone. It is the cancer outside of the prostate that may kill someone and that is the cancer the patient should be primarily concerned with. I have a FAQ to answer other common questions I get by email. More on the Rife Machine Royal Rife was a genius. He designed an incredible microscope in the 1930s that even by today's standards would be amazing. He figured out how to kill microbes with radio waves, then built a machine to kill microbes which were inside the cancer cells. And he did many other things. Unfortunately, the head of the AMA during his productive years was perhaps the most corrupt AMA head in history. A book was written about him called: Medical Mussolini, to give you some idea of what kind of man he was. There is absolutely no question in my mind that if there were not so much corruption among the Cancer Merchants that the cure rate for cancer would some day be 99.9%. If that day ever comes, this is how I envision a cancer treatment. 1) A cancer patient is diagnosed with cancer in a doctor's office, 2) A quick analysis of the type of microbe involved is made, 3) The patient is taken into another room and immediately given a treatment with a Rife Machine (or Multi-Wave Oscillator), which was adjusted to kill the specific microbe being dealt with, 4) Before leaving, the patient is put on a strict Robert O. Young diet, with several key supplements to be taken daily, 5) Additional Rife treatments last another two or three weeks, 6) The diet and supplements last two or three months, 7) The patient then goes back into the office and is declared to be cured, 8) The patient is put on a cancer prevention diet, with supplements. It is that simple. It should be that simple. If Royal Rife had been accepted by the medical community (which many people of his day wanted) cancer today would be no more than a footnote in history. It would be no more dangerous than the flu. With $10 or $20 million dollars, mostly to fund the perfection of a new Rife Machine (the price of a single rare painting), a few years of research, the removal of corrupt politicians, the removal of the corrupt AMA, ACS, etc., within a few years the cancer cure rate would be over 99%. I know that for a fact. Yet the American public is duped into giving hundreds of millions of dollars a year to cancer charities that do nothing but spend it and fund research to benefit the pharmaceutical industry. The 3% cure rate never changes, nor does the constant barrage of deceptive studies and deceptive statistics the public is exposed to. The government also spends hundreds of millions of dollars a year to benefit the totally corrupt pharmaceutical industry. In future years the medical community will look at this generation of " doctors " the same, exact way we look at the headhunters in South America of a hundred years ago. It is inexcusable to perpetuate a cure rate of 3% and at the same time persecute alternative cancer treatments today that frequently exceed a cure rate of 90% for patients who go with alternative treatments first (e.g. Dr. William Kelley). Even many Stage IV patients are being cured, who had not already had a major organ killed or damaged beyond repair. Final Comments It would be really nice if medical doctors were legally allowed to use alternative cancer treatments. All it would take would be a law allowing " Freedom of Choice in Medicine, " as it is called. But the powers that be among the Cancer Merchants will fight this law with all their resources. The most absurd aspect of our hell-bound politicians is that medical doctors are not even permitted to treat patients that have been sent home to die by other doctors. Even many of these patients could be saved if they were properly treated. This means there is virtually no way you can be treated by a medical doctor inside the U.S. While there are clinics inside the U.S. they are very limited in what they can administer and claim (I do have a web page with links to many cancer clinics both inside and outside of the U.S.). This means you, the patient, need to do a lot of reading. If you are reading this sentence you have already done a lot of reading. The reading cannot stop, even after the treatment has begun. The reading can never stop. The first book you should read, AFTER you start your treatment, is Sick and Tired? by Robert O. Young. I mention this book many times on my web site because it is by far the best cancer book on earth. By far. It is so good, in fact, that if you go to Amazon you will see that several people have given it a rating of " 1, " which is a bad score. When you see a terrific book get bad ratings you know the " quackwatch " folks have been busy trying to deceive you. These people do not want you to know the truth, the truth that would prevent you from dying a slow, tortuous death. I guess I can logically reorganize the above sentence to say that they want you to die a slow, tortuous death. Come to think of it, so do a lot of other well paid people.
