Freedom of choice in cancer treatment

Cancer is probably one of the most frightening diagnoses that a patient can hear. In 1997 the U.S. government decided to finance the mapping of the human genome. After many years and 30 million dollars the project was completed. It was hailed as a huge step forward in the fight against all kinds of diseases, including cancer. So far, not one cure has been found for a single disease and no strides have been made in the search for a cure for cancer. Genetic diseases do not vary and their incidence is not affected by drugs.

If a drug is shown by research to affect the incidence of a particular disease, then anyone with a third grade education about genetics can understand that it is not genetic. If any particular cancer is a genetic disease then a review of the family history of a cancer patient should reveal whether or not they will have cancer. If both parents carry the gene, there is a one in four chance that their children will have the disease. There is no drug that will affect this incidence and while there might be treatments once the disease is determined, the incidence of the disease is stable. The only way to affect it is to change the gene pool - prevent those with the gene from reproducing. Cancer is not a single disease and there is no one gene that is responsible for it. Most cancers are the result of lack of one or several minerals. Minerals are the “metal fingers” that allow the processes of RNA and DNA to occur. Without minerals, cells cannot properly replicate and most other biochemical processes cannot occur either. After being sued, the FDA has finally allowed the claim to be made that selenium may have anticancer properties, but insists that the evidence is not conclusive. The Medical School of Arizona (JAMA, 1996) showed that selenium given at 250 mcg/day reduces the risk of esophageal cancer by 71%, prostate cancer by 69%, colon and rectal cancer by 64% and lung cancer by 48%. The same study showed that if you give 250 mcg daily to a cancer patient, it can double the expected lifespan of patients with that particular type of cancer. In an earlier study, the University of California at San Diego showed that 250 mg of selenium every day will reduce the risk of breast cancer by 20 to 80%, depending on the type of cancer. Organic, plant derived, colloidal minerals are 98% absorbable and bioavailable.
Prevention of cancer is, of course, preferable to a cure. A baseline nutritional program that includes all 91 known essential nutrients in a form that is both absorbable and bioavailable. Dietary fiber should be included with each meal, but needs to be consumed at a different time as any mineral supplements as the phytates in the fiber interfere with the absorption of the minerals. Beta-carotene should be taken at the equivalent of 300,000 IU of vitamin A per day. Selenium should be taken at 250 mcg to 500 mcg per day. Free radicals must be eliminated from the diet. To accomplish this some simple rules must be followed:
1. No deep fried food (heated poly-unsaturated oils are killers).
2. No vegetable oils, not even extra virgin olive oil or frozen deserts.
3. No salad dressings. Use lemon juice and spices or vinegar and spices.
4. No margarine. Use butter, ghee, mutton fat or water for cooking.
Consume a low to moderate fat diet, but ensure that you get adequate amounts of essential fatty acids (omega 3 fatty acids) for your immune system. Eat four to six cups of vegetables per day. Drink 8 glasses of water per day, use filtered, not distilled water. Distilled water will, over time, demineralize your bones. Don't smoke. Don't drink alcohol or only in moderation. Make sure you have at least two bowel movements per day, three is better. Use sunscreen. Take alfalfa as a detoxifier. Flush the liver two to three times per month with milk thistle or apple juice. Check for food allergies that might be interfering with the absorption of nutrients. Use biodegradable household cleaners. Use organic foods as much as possible.
Call the doctor if you find an unusual lump, ulcer, bleeding, extended diarrhea, pain, change in urination or bowel habit or mole that changes character.
If you suspect that you might have cancer, you can start your own treatment before the "official" diagnosis from your doctor. The "official" diagnosis may take months. According to U.S. Government data, the five year survival rate of cancer patients has not changed over the last 20 years despite new techniques in surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. In fact, untreated patients, as a group, survive longer than those treated with those methods. What they fail to mention is that patients treated with alternative therapies are included in that group of "untreated patients."
Hydrazine sulfate inhibits the production of glucose from lactic acid in the liver, which literally starves the rapidly growing cancer cells. It is recommended for any type of cancer that produces tumors. Cesium chloride enters the cancer cells and causes an alkaline environment within the cell. It is recommended for all types of cancer, but is particularly effective for sarcoma, bronchogenic carcinoma and colon cancer. Laetrile releases small amounts of cyanide that normal cells can detoxify, but cancer cells cannot. The cyanide taken from the laetrile then kills the cancer cells. Germanium found in significant amounts in a variety of foods including imported Shiitake mushrooms, ginseng and garlic functions by increasing the oxygen flow into the cells from the blood. Cancer cells do not like high levels of circulating oxygen. It also increases macrophage (scavenger cell) activity, increases the number of antibody forming cells, T-cells, B-lymphocytes and killer cells. It also induces the body to produce interferon. Clodronate is used mostly for preventing and controlling bone metastasis which is common in breast and prostate cancers. Bone metastasis is very painful and difficult to treat with conventional chemotherapy. Clodronate works by stopping the loss of calcium from the bones so that the cancer can be effectively walled off. Flutamide and lutenizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) together are more effective than surgical or chemical castration in cases of prostate cancer as well as more aesthetically accepted. They work well against the original cancer as well as the metastatic bone cancer. Flutamide produces an 81% remission against 0% remission when compared with "orthodox" approaches. Hoxey Herbal Formula is a red clover herbal mix and one of the grandfathers of the modern cancer remedies. It is nonspecific and may be used as a preventive or remedy. Levamisol was initially used as a sheep wormer. It has shown excellent results for cancer by preventing metastasis in general and specifically for colon, breast, brain, throat, esophageal, stomach, liver and pancreas cancers. Polyerga inhibits tumor growth by reduction of glycolysis. It is effective against tumor forming cancers. The many choices need to be researched and discussed with knowledgeable providers of allopathic and alternative treatments. Limiting oneself to only one type of therapy in the fight for one's life is like limiting the country's military to only one type of force. It simply does not make sense when having many types of weapons in the fight is so much more effective than only one. Adjunct therapies can be helpful both in making the treatment more effective and improving the quality of life while undergoing cancer treatment. Hydrogen peroxide was used in "orthodox" medicine in the 1800's. H2O2 given IV has a long history and no bad side effects. There is positive evidence that increasing oxygen levels in the blood has beneficial effects in the fight against cancer. Cancer does not like elevated oxygen levels. Co Q 10 increases the immune fighting ability of your phagocytes as well as increases the efficiency of tissue detoxification. DMSO is useful for the treatment of leukemia because it causes maturation of the premature WBC's of leukemia. Thymus extract is useful to enhance the thymus gland function and thus the immune system. Autoimmune urine and autoimmune blood therapies enhance the body's defense systems against foreign substances including cancer proteins in much the same way as allergy shots do against pollen allergies. Carbamide (urea) is in keeping with the autoimmune therapies. It is particularly effective for liver cancer. Beta-carotene with vitamin E taken in amounts as much as the equivalent of 600,000 IU vitamin A is helpful in fighting carcinomas. It also helps the thymus gland produce antibodies. Selenium at 250 mcg/day has been shown to double the expected lifespan of cancer patients therefore allowing more time for other therapies to work. Shark cartilage and shark liver oil contain angiostatin and endostatin that stop the formation of capillaries that feed new metastatic growths of cancer. Although shark cartilage has been used by the Chinese for 5000 years to treat cancer, the "orthodox" oncologists have pooh-poohed this practice as quackery. Harvard Medical School and Yale Medical School have done 25 years of solid research on the effects of shark cartilage on the rate of cancer metastasis and have proven that angiostatin and endostatin do, in fact, retard the growth of capillaries that are necessary for the support of cancer growth. If you already have metastasis, the shark cartilage will shrink the metastasis and reduce pain. If the metastasis is smaller than a grape, it may disappear altogether.
There are many available choices in the treatment of cancer with varying degrees of effectiveness. Some allopathic providers would like to (and are) blocking the American public from access to many of those choices. It seems that the assumption is that the average cancer patient is too stupid to be left to make his or her own choices in their personal fight against cancer. They must be limited to a few "proven" choices that just happen to also line the pockets of the providers who are doing the limiting. We need to demand real research that is not funded by the pharmaceutical companies who have a vested interest in only their products being declared safe and effective. The American public has the right to know about all therapies and the right to choose the ones that will be most effective and most comfortable for themselves.
