The Truth About Cancer

[lightwalker]

I have been watching a 9 part video series about cancer that is amazing and informative. To me, this documentary is applicable to any form of illness and how to heal.
It also validates my own research and the things that I do to be physically healthy.
One of the remedies for cancer is flaxseed and cottage cheese.(simple or what) I suggest that you google that with cancer also in the subject line.

There are 2 more episodes and one of them is tonight at 9:00 Eastern time. However, you can access it for free for the next 24 hours.

https://go2.thetruthaboutcancer.com/global-quest/episode-8/?a_aid=1619624

I should have posted this sooner. They have stated that a million people have linked to these videos to watch them.

To me this is part of our waking up process.

Thanks lightwalker. I absolutely agree with you that it is a part of our waking up process on a worldwide scale. Conventional treatments are challenged to the core in this series and many cutting edge and proven scientific approaches for prevention of and curing cancer are covered. I've been watching each installment for the last 6 days and found it extremely informative. All of the info comes from interviewing leading cancer experts from around the world as well as people who have recovered from cancer using the various methods outlined in the series. It contains a wealth of thoroughly researched information and is well presented in an easy to follow manner. Vital material to have cataloged I would say!

Strangely, I started a thread with the link to the series here on Avalon Forum the day before it was due to air but it received no interest at all!
It did receive 400 views but had only 4 likes and no comments!

It seems curing cancer isn't of any interest to most fellow Avalonians!

[awakeningmom]

Very powerful documentary. Thank you for sharing. Does the series get into the various types of alternative treatments available? I've read about and watched docs on Gershon, but had never heard about the Hoxey clinic (covered in this episode) or what that treatment entails before.

[terragunn]

I have been informed that producing a paste mixture of organic walnuts, asparagus, and avocado, and ingesting such one or more times times daily, will cure one of cancer. Does such work? I do not know.

[Fanna]

this is AVALON. if it isn't something we can argue about, it won't get a lot of views. But that isn't important. It is only important that we share the information with those who need to find it as part of their own awakening journey.

Say strong, friends. You are all phenomenal.

I have been informed that producing a paste mixture of organic walnuts, asparagus, and avocado, and ingesting such one or more times times daily, will cure one of cancer. Does such work? I do not know.I have read the same. Asparagus for sure has been shown to reduce cancer tumors. Strangely enough, the canned, mushy variety works better than fresh.

[Daughter of Time]

This is indeed an excellent documentary on the way the system (un)treats cancer, natural therapies, clinics, protocols, etc.,

I've watched it all. This is a very rough recap from my notes:

If you have the money and can attend one of the natural healing cancer clinics, they are as follows: The Bio-Medical Clinic in Tijuana, The Burzynski Clinic, The Gerson Clinic, The Hoxey clinic (pardon typos as I'm pressed for time).

The 7 essentials of curing cancer:
1 - Eat natural, whole, unprocessed foods - eat the rainbow!
2 - Detox your entire body with fasting, coffee enemas, liver flushes, etc.,
3 - balance your energy
4 - Healing your emotional wounds (forgive)
5 - biological dentistry (remove amalgams)
6 - Herbs and supplements (more on this later)
7 - Prevent it while you can with all the information as follows:

Frankincense and myrrh oils are cancer fighters that can be used internally and topically as well as Clove oil and skullcap.

Avoide glutamate foods like black beans and mushrooms (except reishi mushrooms) as they are high in glutamate

Increase flavonoids and resveratrol and especially coconut oil

Avoid sugar and soy (big offenders) Use stevia as sweetner

If you grow your own food, add Epsom salts to the earth to increase nutrients.

Micronutrients most effective are: chromium, selenium, silica

Cancer cannot live in heat so using an infra red sauna kills cancer cells.

Pinched nerves cause constant state of fight or flight, so spine health is crucial

Fluoride calcifies pineal gland - avoid!

Iodine - most important supplement in preventing cancer of the endocrine glands

Keep bowels lose with herbs, magnesium, enemas, of whichever way works best for you

keep kidneys clean with parsley and asparagus

Clean liver with turmeric, milk thistle, burdock and liver flushes

Lemon juice, lime juice, water, olive oil, garlic and ginger makes an excellent daily detoxifier if taken in the morning

Ketechins in green tea - very beneficial if taken daily

Astragalus increases while blood cells

Foods rich in sulphur, like cabbage and cruciferous vegetables expel cancer cell from the system

Budwig diet: cottage cheese (sulphur) and flax seed oil (oxygen) kill cancer cells. This could be a daily meal.

Important supplements: D3

B17 - laetril from apricot kernels injected into the body will kill cancer cells, but these are no longer available in north America. One must go to Mexico to get it.

Sunblocks cause cancer as they let in UVA rays which are carginogenic but block UVB rays which provide vitamin D. Do not use them!

Floor yourself with light from the sun and light from foods grown in the sun.

Chlorophyl cleans the mitochondria

Ideal breakfast drink: beets, celery, carrots, wheatgrass - daily detox

Drink hydrogen enhanced water

Remove dairy products as much as possible

Take vitamin C, L-lysine, NAC, selenium, green tea, quercetin, rosemary to prevent and treat cancer

Gerson Clinic uses juicing as diet and daily coffee enemas (5 per day while at the clinic) - organic coffee, of course, plus B17, and hyperthermia (heat)

Hemp oil is an excellent cancer buster

Ketogenic diet is a great preventor of cancer

Eat omega 3s like olive and oil, avocadoes, flax seed, and avoid omega 6s like processed oils

Meat is OK (if you like meat) but must be pastured and grass fed.

And this is a very rough and pithy recap of the last 8 episodes. I cannot go into more details as I'm really pressed for time. Forgive typos as I don't have time to go over what I've written. If you can afford it, you can own the series for around $50 US. However, the basics are mentioned above and you can do your own research to elaborate further on the uses.

Good luck to all and let's stay cancer free.

[ZooLife]

this is AVALON. if it isn't something we can argue about, it won't get a lot of views.

I would like to argue that point with you but then that would just prove your point. ;)

[Kristin]

Say strong, friends. You are all phenomenal.

If you look at the bottom of the page you will all see that this thread is drawing a great deal of attention. Congratulations on having a successful thread without the heavy baggage of destructive commentary! I work with Oncology patients once a week in my art studio, this is a terrific thread. Keep it going, it will have a long life and help many people long after you think it has passed from memory. When people type "cancer" in to our search function they will be pleased to see it listed.

From the Heart,

The following paper describes a 'sweet spot' period in British history where there was a era of unprecedented health. contrary to the usual tripe trotted about by Docs (including ones I know), who say that degenerative diseases are more prevalent today because people live longer.Statistically, during 1850-1880 or so, if you got to 5, then your life expectancy was similar to today. This is amazing when you consider the basic state of medicine and sanitation (although improving fast) that was prevalent at the time.

Doctors are taught that life expectancy was lower because they look at overall statistics, which are skewed by higher infant mortality.

Anyway, the point is that these people had far far lower incidence of Cancer.

The paper states that the main factors behind this were a higher consumption of phyto-nutrients together with much higher levels of physical activity. As the UK passed into the 1880's we see the impact of cheap imported cerials, canned foods and higher sugar consumption.

Before this,during the 'sweet spot' we have the following factors:
- Steady growth in living standards
-Steady growth in Medical and sanitation measures
- AGRICULTURE was still indigenous and organic. This meant that soil was fertilised using wood ash, imported guano, fish waste, livestock dung etc. This would result in vegetables and cereals that were very rich in the minerals and nutrients that we currently lack.
- People grew their own
- Work (or travelling to work) was physically demanding, so people consumed TWICE the calories- and much more nutrients.


Dietary Summary

Mid-Victorian working class men and women consumed between 50% and 100% more calories than we do, but because they were so much more physically active than we are today, overweight and obesity hardly existed at the working class level. The working class diet was rich in seasonal vegetables and fruits; with consumption of fruits and vegetables amounting to eight to 10 portions per day. This far exceeds the current national average of around three portions, and the government-recommended five-a-day. The mid-Victorian diet also contained significantly more nuts, legumes, whole grains and omega three fatty acids than the modern diet. Much meat consumed was offal, which has a higher micronutrient density than the skeletal muscle we largely eat today [59]. Prior to the introduction of margarine in the late Victorian period, dietary intakes of trans fats were very low. There were very few processed foods and therefore little hidden salt, other than in bread (Recipes suggest that significantly less salt was then added to meals. At table, salt was not usually sprinkled on a serving but piled at the side of the plate, allowing consumers to regulate consumption in a more controlled way.). The mid-Victorian diet had a lower calorific density and a higher nutrient density than ours. It had a higher content of fibre (including fermentable fibre), and a lower sodium/potassium ratio. In short, the mid-Victorians ate a diet that was not only considerably better than our own, but also far in advance of current government recommendations. It more closely resembles the Mediterranean diet, proven in many studies to promote health and longevity; or even the ‘Paleolithic diet’ recommended by some nutritionists [60].

I would add a de-tox factor that I do not hear enough of- that these earlier diets contained alot more fibre. Fibre in itself is a great detoxifyer, as it assists the bowel to remove waste and toxins.


Not only were cancers very uncommon compared to today, they appear to have differed in other key respects. James Paget (of Paget’s Disease) built a large practice on the strength of diagnosing breast cancer, which he did by sight and palpation – that is at Stages 3 and 4. In this group he describes a life expectancy of 4 years after diagnosis, extending to eight or more with surgery [72]. The corresponding figures today are Stage 3: 50% survival at 10 years if given surgery, chemo- and radio-therapy, and Stage 4: overall survival about 15 months. These figures suggest that breast cancer during the Victorian period was significantly less rapidly progressive than is the case today, probably due to the Victorians’ significantly higher intakes of a range of micro- and phytonutrients which slow cancer growth.

GCMAF

Well, judging by the amount of obfuscation and malicious efforts to discredit this, it must have merit.
Chris Woolams is a great advocate in UK for alternative Cancer science, a kind of British Ty Bollinger.

http://www.canceractive.com/cancer-active-page-link.aspx?n=3553

Looking Holistically at the industry it is good to see that Big Pharma is increasingly focussing on immune therapy. If you wish to rely on the bodies own immune response, and enhance that with various molecules, you are hopefully less likely to advocate Radio or Chemo, which destroy the immune system (and cause cancer)

Gcmaf is a macrophage activating factor, ie it augments the action of white blood cells. There are numerous traditional substances that do the same, such as Reishi (proven to increase white blood cell activity by 900%, and other fungi such as Maitake.

http://www.livestrong.com/article/510693-do-mushrooms-increase-white-blood-cells/

THE POINT BEING we might be approaching a new era where the conventional therapies do not conflict with the 'alternatives' and keep you alive long enough to research, formulate & order in the stuff.I really hope so!


Gc-MAF a natural Immunotherapy
Gc-MAF or GcMAF? Either way, is it a cure for cancer?
Gc-MAF or GcMAF is a natural protein-derived macrophage activating factor derived from a functional change in the Gc protein, which is a vitamin D binding protein.
In simple English, Gc-MAF (which is a naturally occurring protein in the body) kicks macrophages (a type of white cell which kills invasive cells) into action so that they can then attack and destroy cancer cells (and indeed almost all rogue cells - like viruses).
In people with cancer (and viral illnesses), production of Gc-MAF is blocked by an enzyme calledNagalase, which is produced by many cancers and viruses in order to beat the immune system.
The idea is simple - inject patients with Gc-MAF and overcome the blockage, and so macrophages can be stimulated to do their job.
Natural Immunotherapy?
Immunotherapy is all the buzz at the moment. Full of promise (but we’ve heard that before), in fact, the results are a bit mixed. One possibility is that immunotherapy needs to be specifically tailored to the individual patient (for example, as with Dendritic cell therapy).
There are many different cells in the immune system and they all do different jobs. Some of them need help. You can boost their numbers (with drugs or herbs), but then they need to ´see´ the opposition - polysaccharides help here. They also cannot attack a cancer cell until a T-lymphocyte ‘picks up’ a vitamin D molecule.
Gc-MAF is claimed to be very potent and even at low concentrations seems to activate, regulate and expand macrophages. The manufacturers (Immuno Biotech) say that it costs only a fraction of the price of a chemotherapy drug.
(A Macrophage Activating Factor is a lymphokine that primes macrophages to kill tumour cells). I really am trying to keep this simple, honestly.
Research?
In one study (Anticancer Res. 2013 Jul;33(7):2917-9, Inui T, Kuchiike D, Kubo K, Mette M, Uto Y, Hori H, Sakamoto N.) The researchers set about tailoring an immune response with an integrative immunotherapy approach using second-generation group-specific component macrophage activating factor (GcMAF)-containing human serum. Other studies have involved breast cancer, colon and prostate cancer - and even HIV. Some studies were by a Dr Yamamoto. However, after analysis of the studies by the Anticancer Fund, even though editors had previously accepted articles as valid, Yamamoto has withdrawn a paper on breast cancer. Articles have criticised research standards in the ´clinical trials´. See below.
How did they build this ´Integrative immunotherapy´ approach?
The standard protocol used by these researchers was:
A GcMAF-containing human serum administered intramuscularly or subcutaneously once or twice per week for the duration of cancer therapy until all cancer cells are eradicated.
This was studied with hyper T/natural killer (NK) cell therapy, which was given once per week for six weeks; and
High-dose vitamin C administered intravenously twice per week; and,
Alpha lipoic acid (600 mg) administered orally daily; and,
And vitamin D3 (5,000-10,000 IU) administered orally daily.
Did it work?
By March 2013, Saisei Mirai had treated over 345 patients with GcMAF. In the cases of three patients, the integrative immunotherapy was ‘remarkably effective’. Given the results seem hopeful, a comparative clinical study is planned.
The overclaim?
3 out of 345 sounds about right.
However, the treatment was originally developed by an American, Dr Nobuto Yamamoto who was claiming it worked 100% of the time on breast, prostate, colorectal and other cancers. This followed three clinical trials he conducted. Critics claim the numbers were small with approximately 20 patients in each (but I’ve seen brain cancer drugs in a blaze of glory following research with 16 people, so the jury – my jury – is out on that one). Far more importantly. He didn’t use control groups. They might have all survived the research period too.
Availability
There is actually a website called GcMAF.eu. On it, it states ‘As of February 2013, on the American National Library of Medicine alone, 142 eminent scientists from 8 nations have published 59 major GcMAF research papers. These can be viewed on the US Government’s Pubmed system.
Our GcMAF is the only publicly available GcMAF that is used in these research papers’.
So it isn´t just an immunotherapy - it´s a brand too. And Lord Saatchi used to pop up on the front of the website trying to get you to sign the petition for his House of Lords bill to free up oncologists to try these treatments. It looks like he is endorsing GcMAF. Perhaps he totally believes in it and is.
The research studies are listed and referenced in full. And there are lots of them
What do we think at CANCERactive?
We have actually done a lot of research on immunotherapy. It´s not new - oncologists have been using Interferon and Interleukin for years - but many don´t seem to fully appreciate the need for vitamin D and alpha lipoic acid to help it all work.
Then there´s Dendritic Cell Therapy and others We´ve also covered two new immunotherapy drugs for melanoma, prostate and bladder cancer.
The aim of the game is to boost your immune system to recognize and then attack the rogue cancer cells. Many immunotherapies use samples of the cancer and your body´s white cells to tailor make the perfect attackers. And so immunotherapy is usually about getting your own immune system to work harder.
On the GcMAF website, the ´treatment´ protocol talks about diet and avoiding sugar - it seems a standard ketogenic diet. It talks of increasing oxygen levels and the importance of exercise. And of the need for trace minerals and amino acids. Oh, and vitamin D. Have they been reading my book, ´Everything you need to know to help you beat cancer?´
But there´s also some slightly questionable stuff in the Gc-Maf protocol - you need to take molybdenum, and have your root canals removed. ´Eye of newt, tongue of toad´ - sorry that´s just me, playing.
So, we could have something that helps here if it genuinely does reboot your immune system, or it could be that the rest of the Integrative package is the mainstay treatment. After all the American Cancer Society says you can increase survival and even prevent a cancer returning by diet and exercise. And it seems a Rainbow diet (or a Ketogenic diet) are good places to start.
As always, so Phase III clinical Trials would be helpful. But they are going to have to be done with two control groups. The trial group can do the ´protocol´ in full; the first control group can use a placebo, but still do the vitamin D plus diet and exercise; while the second control group can carry on being tubs of lard in front of the TV.
That should sort it.
Immunotherapy is full of potential. And having people that understand the need for vitamin D, alpha lipoic acid, polysaccharides, no glucose, IVC, increasing oxygen levels etc. is very good news for cancer patients. Oncologists treating patients with Interferon or Interleukin, please note.
If it works, which bit did the trick? Would you care? Of course you could start with the diet and exercise and vitamin D, and a few other things we tell you about constantly, and see how you get on, before shelling out 600 euros for a course of GcMAF.
You can go the whole hog with a trip to the clinic in Switzerland, and you should note that you need to keep taking GcMAF for 8 weeks after the tumours have gone.
There´s confidence for you.
Apparently it also works with ME and Autism. And you should keep taking your supplements, especially the ones that boost your immune system. The odd dribble of Royal Jelly seems to help.
Conspiracy Theories
The conspiracy theorists are at work in America right now about this, saying that Nagalase is being included in vaccines (even child vaccines) because otherwise natural Gc-MAF in the body would just wipe out the viral part of the vaccine. And some holistic doctors (like Dr. Jeff Bradstreet and team) believed that Nagalase is directly linked to Autism and other illnesses.
UK importation of Gc-Maf has (Feb 2015) been banned in Guernsey (there was a clinic there), Cancer Research UK (as usual) says it´s risky stuff (or words to that effect) and last July even Nat West in Guernsey stopped the company´s bank account. (Why? Who told them to pull the plug?). Finally, the UK ´factory´ has been shut by regulators for using blood that was not deemed fit for human use. There are apparently 10 ´factories´ worldwide. The product is banned by the FDA in America.
There´s some strong feelings out there. Of course conspiracy theorists smell the hand of Big Pharma here - CRUK playing it´s usual supporting act - especially given that GC-Maf is cheap, non-invasive and, anecdotally, it does seem to work a bit.
We note that Dr Meheus of the Anticancer fund justified their attacks on Gc-MAF by saying "Our goal is to avoid that cancer patients are misled by seemingly scientific evidence that turns out to be of questionable quality". If he really believes that, he is going to have his work cut out. Fraud, lies, falsified research and more were exactly the charges laid at the door of Pharmaceutical Companies by Peter Goetzsche Head of the prestigious Nordic Cochrane Centre in his book "Deadly Medicines and Organised Crime. How Big Pharma has Corrupted Healthcare".
It´s the usual mess that surrounds most non-toxic, non-invasive treatments that are a potential threat to Big Pharma - and as usual, it is the patient who suffers. We don´t really have a clue whether this works or not! Maybe that´s the idea. But, in truth to beat the expensive new immunotherapy drugs it only needs a long-term effect in 8% of patients. 7% is the norm for most so far.

ANOTHER GENTLE DRUG , OUT OF PATENT THEREFORE BACK INTO 'HERESY TERRITORY'

http://www.lowdosenaltrexone.org/#How_does_LDN_work_

Low dose naltrexone assists one's own immune function. I suggest as it is cheap, and harmless, it should be included in any preventative or post Cancer regime:


How does LDN work?

> LDN boosts the immune system, activating the body's own natural defenses.

Up to the present time, the question of "What controls the immune system?" has not been present in the curricula of medical colleges and the issue has not formed a part of the received wisdom of practicing physicians. Nonetheless, a body of research over the past two decades has pointed repeatedly to one's own endorphin secretions (our internal opioids) as playing the central role in the beneficial orchestration of the immune system, and recognition of the facts is growing.

Witness these statements from a review article of medical progress in the November 13, 2003 issue of the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine: "Opioid-Induced Immune Modulation: .... Preclinical evidence indicates overwhelmingly that opioids alter the development, differentiation, and function of immune cells, and that both innate and adaptive systems are affected.1,2 Bone marrow progenitor cells, macrophages, natural killer cells, immature thymocytes and T cells, and B cells are all involved. The relatively recent identification of opioid-related receptors on immune cells makes it even more likely that opioids have direct effects on the immune system.3"

The brief blockade of opioid receptors between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. that is caused by taking LDN at bedtime each night is believed to produce a prolonged up-regulation of vital elements of the immune system by causing an increase in endorphin and enkephalin production. Normal volunteers who have taken LDN in this fashion have been found to have much higher levels of beta-endorphins circulating in their blood in the following days. Animal research by I. Zagon, PhD, and his colleagues has shown a marked increase in metenkephalin levels as well. [Note: Additional information for Dr. Zagon can be found at the end of this page.]

Bihari says that his patients with HIV/AIDS who regularly took LDN before the availability of HAART were generally spared any deterioration of their important helper T cells (CD4+).

In human cancer, research by Zagon over many years has demonstrated inhibition of a number of different human tumors in laboratory studies by using endorphins and low dose naltrexone. It is suggested that the increased endorphin and enkephalin levels, induced by LDN, work directly on the tumors' opioid receptors — and, perhaps, induce cancer cell death (apoptosis). In addition, it is believed that they act to increase natural killer cells and other healthy immune defenses against cancer.

In general, in people with diseases that are partially or largely triggered by a deficiency of endorphins (including cancer and autoimmune diseases), or are accelerated by a deficiency of endorphins (such as HIV/AIDS), restoration of the body's normal production of endorphins is the major therapeutic action of LDN.

Moringa Tree: An Emerging Method for Treating Cancer

^^http://www.asbestos.com/blog/2014/10/24/moringa-leaves-alternative-cancer-treatment/


Eden Prescription
Moringa Oleifera Kills 93% of Lung Cancer Cells in Vitro: Researchers have just discovered that a cold-water extract of moringa tree leaves kills up to 93% of human lung cancer cells (A549) in vitro after 48 hours, and also strongly inhibited their ability to grow and spread (stopping them from metastasizing). And after seven days, the moringa extract had actually wiped out virtually 100% of the lung cancer cell colonies. Researchers in this study also found the extract killed breast cancer and skin cancer cells, while other studies have shown moringa’s ability to suppress ovarian, colon, and liver cancer as well as myeloma and melanoma. Moringa tree, also called the “miracle tree,” has been used for centuries in traditional and Ayurvedic medicine due to its many health benefits as an immune-booster, antifungal, antibacterial, antidepressant, anti-diabetes, pain and fever reducer and even relief from asthma. In fact, it was even used by the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans! Latest research has also uncovered potent anti-diabetes activity of this super-herb, which improved blood sugar profiles in diabetic rats and — amazingly — actually seemed to repair damaged insulin-producing cell islets on the diabetic rats’ pancreas tissue. If you can’t get it fresh, moringa pills are widely available, as well as new moringa juice products, i.e. from Zija.

Managing Sugar and cancer

To my mind, one of the worst endictments of our current cancer regime in the West is Oncologists totally ignoring the issue of sugar.

http://www.mercola.com/article/sugar/sugar_cancer.htm

From Wikipedia:

Warburg hypothesis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Warburg effect.
The Warburg hypothesis (/ˈvɑrbʊərɡ/), sometimes known as the Warburg theory of cancer, postulates that the driver of tumorigenesis is an insufficient cellular respiration caused by insult to mitochondria.[1] The term Warburg effect describes the observation that cancer cells, and many cells grown in-vitro, exhibit glucose fermentation even when enough oxygen is present to properly respire. In other words, instead of fully respiring in the presence of adequate oxygen, cancer cells ferment. The Warburg hypothesis was that the Warburg effect was the root cause of cancer. The current popular opinion is that cancer cells ferment glucose while keeping up the same level of respiration that was present before the process of carcinogenesis, and thus the Warburg effect would be defined as the observation that cancer cells exhibit glycolysis with lactate secretion and mitochondrial respiration even in the presence of oxygen.[2]
Warburg's hypothesis was postulated by the Nobel laureate Otto Heinrich Warburg in 1924.[3] He hypothesized that cancer, malignant growth, and tumor growth are caused by the fact that tumor cells mainly generate energy (as e.g. adenosine triphosphate / ATP) by non-oxidative breakdown of glucose (a process called glycolysis). This is in contrast to "healthy" cells which mainly generate energy from oxidative breakdown of pyruvate. Pyruvate is an end-product of glycolysis, and is oxidized within the mitochondria. Hence, according to Warburg, the driver of cancer cells should be interpreted as stemming from a lowering of mitochondrial respiration. Warburg reported a fundamental difference between normal and cancerous cells to be the ratio of glycolysis to respiration; this observation is also known as the Warburg effect.
Cancer is caused by mutations and altered gene expression, in a process called malignant transformation, resulting in an uncontrolled growth of cells.[4][5] The metabolic differences observed by Warburg adapts cancer cells to the hypoxic (oxygen-deficient) conditions inside solid tumors, and results largely from the same mutations in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes that cause the other abnormal characteristics of cancer cells.[6] Therefore, the metabolic change observed by Warburg is not so much the cause of cancer, as he claimed, but rather, it is one of the characteristic effects of cancer-causing mutations.
Warburg articulated his hypothesis in a paper entitled The Prime Cause and Prevention of Cancer which he presented in lecture at the meeting of the Nobel-Laureates on June 30, 1966 at Lindau, Lake Constance, Germany. In this speech, Warburg presented additional evidence supporting his theory that the elevated anaerobiosis seen in cancer cells was a consequence of damaged or insufficient respiration. Put in his own words, "the prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by a fermentation of sugar."[7]
Warburg's hypothesis has re-gained attention due to several discoveries linking impaired mitochondrial function as well as impaired respiration to the growth, division and expansion of tumor cells. In a study by Michael Ristow and co-workers, colon cancer lines were modified to overexpress frataxin. The results of their work suggest that an increase in oxidative metabolism induced by mitochondrial frataxin may inhibit cancer growth in mammals.[8]
Studies published since 2005 have shown that the Warburg effect, indeed, might lead to a promising approach in the treatment of solid tumors. Alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (ACCA;CHC), a small-molecule inhibitor of monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs; which prevent lactic acid build up in tumors) has been successfully used as a metabolic target in brain tumor pre-clinical research.[9][10][11][12] Higher affinity MCT inhibitors have been developed and are currently undergoing clinical trials by Astra-Zeneca.[13] The chemical dichloroacetic acid (DCA), which promotes respiration and the activity of mitochondria, has also been shown to kill cancer cells in vitro and in some animal models.[14] The body often kills damaged cells by apoptosis, a mechanism of self-destruction that involves mitochondria, but this mechanism fails in cancer cells where the mitochondria are shut down. The reactivation of mitochondria in cancer cells restarts their apoptosis program.[15] Besides promising human research at the Department of Medicine, University of Alberta led by Dr Evangelos Michelakis, other glycotic inhibitors besides DCA that hold promise include 3-BrOP being researched at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG) at Emory University School of Medicine, and lactate dehydrogenase A [16] at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

In essence the cells depend on metabolising glucose anoxically (fermentation). This is the least efficient source of energy. It is the result of Mitochondria ‘going dormant’. The theory is that when you have excess tissue acidity and toxicity, the cells cannot get sufficient oxygen- they are drowning- and resort to this alternative metabolic pathway to survive. They become cancerous. There are many that believe that they can revert and the Mitochondria can be re-activated.

But in terms of dealing with Cancer cells,the fact that they are now locked in to sugar metabolism presents a huge opportunity, if not to kill them, then certainly to distress them or weaken them.

Unfortunately, if you eliminate sugar & carbs from the diet, the cells will still receive some glucose from the liver. It takes waste lactic acid and processes it back to glucose. This process is known as cachexia, and is the actual thing that kills a good proportion of cancer sufferers.

Here we go again- guess what? There is a way to interrupt the cachexia cycle using Hydrazine Sulphate. This therapy is practiced in places where Western Pharma does not hold sway, such as Russia. This therapy greatly enhances the potential of waging sugar starvation war on the diseased cells.

Nevertheless, if one is fighting cancer, anything that stresses the cells will assist. That means a ketogenic diet , weight loss, fasting and taking anything that LOWERS BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVELS.

Suggestions to lower blood glucose:

1. Investigate what Dr Wallach says-that insulin resistance is a result of Chromium and Vanadium deficiency. However he states that there are many co-factors so just taking those two will not work, rather take a colloidal mineral complex including a good dose of the above.
2. There are many natural substances that help to reduce blood glucose. Look at Curcumin, Fenugreek, Cinnamon.(and Metformin)
3. If you are facing Chemo, the toxicity to Cancer can be enhanced by temporarily stressing the cancer cells by starving them. (check insulin potentiation therapy). If I faced that situation and could not get access to IPT, I would use all of the above, particularly cinnamon, to assist the chemo.
4. Treat the cancer as if you had type 2 diabetes. This means lose weight to remove fatty deposits around the Liver and Pancreas. Alternative regimes involving juicing are very effective.

InsulinPotentiationTherapy
Our cancer programs are specially designed to meet the needs of patients who have been newly diagnosed, are currently in treatment, or who have completed treatment. We offer individualized protocols of homeopathic anti-cancer therapies combined with therapies designed to increase vitality, strength, and immune function. Every case is analyzed and treated individually according to its particular characteristics.
Our cancer management line of attack centers around the use of Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT). IPT is a specialized form of homeopathic chemotherapy that uses the same chemotherapeutic agents that are used by oncologists. The difference is that with the IPT technique, we are able to use about a tenth of the dose and still get the same cancer killing effect. This amounts to a gentler, safer, more natural approach, especially when it is combined with an individualized program of detoxification, vitality enhancement, and immune system support.
WhyOurCancerTreatmentProtocolIsDifferent
When most people, including oncologists, think of cancer treatment, they think of one thing only controlling cancer growth. While controlling cancer growth is obviously essential to cancer treatment, it is only part of a comprehensive treatment for the disease.
A comprehensive approach to the treatment of cancer - an approach that offers the best opportunity for long term control - includes two other critical areas of management. One, the cause of cancer must be eliminated. Two, the patient’s strength, vitality, and immune function must be optimized. At the Nevada Center our cancer therapy protocols include all three of these areas of management.
ControllingCancerGrowth
At the Nevada Center we use a form of chemotherapy called Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT). IPT is a simple, safe medical treatment that exploits the fact that cancer cells, unlike healthy cells, are not able to metabolize fat for energy. They rely completely on glucose (sugar/carbohydrates) for their energy supply. This is a weakness of cancer cells, and we use this weakness to control them. We use the hormone insulin to do this.
When insulin is injected it has the effect of causing the patient’s blood sugar to drop. As the blood sugar drops, the patient’s healthy cells simply shift over to fat metabolism, but the patient’s cancer cells become seriously compromised. Since they rely entirely on sugar metabolism, they go into an emergency mode and open all of their membranes in an effort to get sugar. In this state they are very vulnerable to chemotherapy drugs.
Once the blood sugar has reached a low enough level for the treatment to be effective, we then inject the chemotherapy drugs. This is immediately followed by an intravenous infusion of large amounts of sugar. What happens next is that the cancer cells, weakened and starved for sugar, take up the chemotherapy drugs in large amounts as they take up the sugar they so desperately need.
The effect of this technique is two-fold. First, the cancer cells will take up much larger amounts of chemotherapy medications than they ordinarily would without the insulin application. Secondly, since they are in such a weakened and vulnerable state from the lack of sugar, they are much more sensitive to the toxic effects of the drugs. The result is a level of cancer cell death and growth control comparable to standard chemotherapy. But there is one very big difference.
IPTIsGentle
Because the IPT technique results in a higher concentration of the chemo-therapeutic drugs in the cancer cells, we are able to use much lower chemo-therapy doses than are normally used to get the same intracellular levels. In general, we usually use about one tenth of the standard dose. A recent soon to be published review of patients treated with IPT shows that the cancer growth controlling effect of IPT is equal to that of standard chemotherapy.
The fact that we can use a lower dose of medication and yet have the same results leads to two very important advantages to IPT. First, the lower dose means that there are little to no side effects. Our patients typically feel as good as ever – even immediately after the treatments. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, because the doses are so low, IPT treatments can be used as long as they are needed without the concern of long-term toxicity to healthy cells and tissues.

I am grateful in my long career in medicine to have seen remissions of cancer but it was never done with chemotherapeutic agents. It was done with alternative therapies and belief systems. I think what disturbs us most of all is letting a child's immune system go down and then plummeting them with chemo. Besides bioengineering of climate and water, I believe that is the greatest depopulation method that has been most successful. You would have to walk through an oncology department in Childrens Hospital to see the torment. You could not take it. I was only a student nurse in the sixties and I saw what they did to "kill off" the enemy. It wasn't until almost 30 yrs later that I came to the awareness of nutrition in nature. The rain forests, the land that the Native American Indians walk through, the high Andes, the Himalayas, where Creator places all the cures. But more importantly, where the herbs and flowers and leaves and barks heal the immune systems that are ravaged by a world that is bent on destroying.

What my husband brings to people's awareness is that everything begins at the cellular membrane. What is let in or what is not let out determines our state of health. I am putting it very simply but it is complex. Cancer is a programmed agenda. I will never buy the theory that we have cancer cells inside us ready to be triggered. What we do have is cells in crisis and unless fed and nurtured properly those cells will morph and create their own ravaging.

Take care of your health,
