ACID/ALKALINE BALANCE: This
treatment is a combination of acid-neutralizing minerals like
calcium and magnesium to supply proper mineralization and to
correct the acid/alkaline balance of the body. Two proponents of
this treatment are Carl J. Reich, M.D. and Bob Barefoot. In
addition another approach is the use of Potassium, Rubidium and
especially Cesium, which are alkaline elements. When taken,
it is believed they alkalinize cancer cells (neutralize their acid
nature). Cancer cells do not survive in the higher PH ranges and
die off.
ADJUNCTIVE THERAPIES:
Adjunctive therapies are used in conjunction with others. Most
cancer patients are found to be deficient in selenium, so many
doctors add it to their protocol. Therefore, it would be considered
an "adjunctive therapy." Other adjunctive therapies would include:
detoxification, specific vitamins and supplements like
Vitamin C and Co-Q 10, water
therapy, and nutrition balancing.
- Detoxification, the removal of
toxins from the body, is considered by many clinics as a very
important part of their treatment. A variety of approaches
are used, including colon cleansing, fasting, chelation, water
therapy, heat therapy, and nutritional, herbal, and homeopathic
methods. Max Gerson introduced coffee into the enema procedure,
which causes the liver to release stored up toxins into the
digestive system to be eliminated. Increasing your water
intake may be one of the best ways to get rid of toxins in the
body.
- Nutritional therapy: Two
types or approaches are emerging. One is a specialized combination
of nutrients used as a targeted cancer therapy, depending on the
individual needs of the patient. The other, which also depends on
the needs of the patient, is a more general approach seeking to
boost health and strength.
- Psychology and
Psychotherapy, although used at most clinics, would be
considered an adjunctive therapy. Psychological counseling, support
groups and even psychotherapy make up a critically important aspect
of therapy in the world's most successful cancer treatment centers.
Some doctors have reported that a traumatic psychological event in
a person's life may trigger the appearance of cancer one to two
years later. Music, meditation, relaxation techniques, and stress
reduction have proven to significantly enhance the power of the
immune system. Some therapists include emotional and even spiritual
counseling, not only for the person's regular life, but in dealing
with the trauma of cancer. Biofeedback can also be
used, where a person visualizes the immune cells of the body
attacking the cancer cells.
AMYGDALIN (LAETRILE): When
the natural substance called amygdalin is purified and concentrated
for use in cancer therapy, it is called Laetrile. Amygdalin is
extracted from apricot seeds and prepared in both tablet and
injectable form. The injectable is more concentrated and capable of
delivering higher doses in a shorter period of time. It is usually
recommended at the onset of treatment for patients who are
seriously ill. After several weeks or a month, if the patient
responds well to treatment, the physician will reduce the dosage
and prescribe tablets to replace injections. This therapy is
usually used in conjunction with the proteolytic enzymes, a
broad-spectrum nutritional program, and a diet calling for fresh
fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and the elimination of meat
and dairy products for the duration of treatment. For more
information go to our Laetrile
information page.
ANTINEOPLASTONS: These are
amino-acid compounds (called peptides) found in the blood and urine
of healthy people but which are deficient in cancer patients. They
were discovered in 1967 by Stanislaw Burzynski, M.D.,
Ph.D., while a graduate student in Poland. When Burzynski came to
the United States to practice medicine, he patented a process for
manufacturing these substances and began to administer them to
cancer patients on the theory that they will cause cancer cells to
revert back to normal cells. In spite of fierce opposition by the
AMA and FDA, many patients claim that their cancers have been
controlled by this treatment.
CAAT -
Controlled Amino Acid Treatment is a novel nutritional
approach to cancer treatment developed by Angelo P. John at A.P.
John Cancer Institute.
CANCELL/CANTRON (ENTELE) and now
Protocel: Cancell is a compound developed by James Sheridan
around 1935. Although he obtained cure or remission rates from 70 -
80% in mice, the FDA would not allow him to go forward in
full-scale testing or production. This product helps lower the
overall energy of the body to help starve the cancer. The cancer
dies from energy starvation and is cleaned up by the immune system.
For the last 40 years he and another man, Ed Sopcak, of Michigan,
privately made and gave away the product to cancer patients ?
all at their own expense. Today, the Sheridan family endorses
Protocel as THE Cancell formula. For more information, call Bob Esh
at (866) 962-8880.
ELLAGIC ACID: Ellagic Acid is
a newly discovered extract derived from various fruits such as red
berries and pomegranates. Tests conducted at the Hollings Cancer
Institute at the Medical University of South Carolina show that
Ellagic Acid has "proven to be effective in preventing cancer,
inhibiting the growth of cancer cells." In addition, Ellagic acid
acts as a scavenger to bind cancer-causing chemicals, making them
inactive.
ELECTRONIC
THERAPIES: Rife, Beck,
Clark, and others have used electronic therapies to treat cancer.
Many have had successes treating cancer using these
devices.
-
Electrotherapy,
also known as electrochemical tumor therapy, Galvanotherapie and
electro-cancer treatment (ECT), was developed in Europe by the
Swedish professor Bj?rn Nordenstr?m and the Austrian doctor Rudolf
Pekar. The therapy employs galvanic electrical stimulation to treat
tumors and skin cancers. ECT is used most often as an adjunct with
other therapies. Using local anesthesia, the physician inserts a
positively-charged platinum, gold or silver needle into the tumor
and places negatively-charged needles around the tumor. Voltages of
6 to 15 volts are used, dependent upon tumor size. To enhance the
cancer-cell-killing power of ECT, sometimes small amounts of
chemotherapy agents are applied to the skin and driven into the
tumor by a kind of sweating effect of the electric current
("iontophoresis"). ECT works by influencing the acid/alkaline (pH)
levels within the tumor and causing electrolysis of its tissue,
which is more susceptible to direct current than normal tissue. The
pH change depolarizes cancer cell membranes and causes tumors to be
gently destroyed. The ECT process also appears to generate heat
shock proteins around the cancer cells, inducing cell-specific
immunity. This process triggers Natural Killer cells.
-
Magnetic
Resonance or Bio-resonance: A newer technique based on
an older technology. All cells have a natural frequency of
resonance and cancer cells differ in frequency from normal cells.
Radio waves set to resonate with cancer cell frequencies can
destroy them similar to the way a high pitched note breaks a glass.
It has never been adopted by the conventional medical
establishment in the United States, but Bio-resonance devices have
been in use in Europe for 23 years.
-
Radiowaves set
to resonate with certain frequencies can harm the cancer cells
similar to the way in which a tone set to the proper pitch can
shatter glass without harming other adjacent substances.
-
Rife machines
were developed by Royal Rife, one of the originators of this
bio-technology. These devices transmit specific electronic
signals to deactivate or destroy living pathogens, bacteria, and
cancers. Rife also developed special electron microscopes. Rife
machines have been outlawed by the FDA, but some clinics like American Metabolics use them in
treatment. http://www.rife.org
for more information. There is also a Rife Forum at

Zappers are discussed below
ENZYMATIC
THERAPY: Enzyme therapy is generally broken down into two
types: food enzymes and Proteolitic enzymes. Several researchers
including Dr. John Beard, Dr. Ernst Krebs, Jr., and Dr. Dean Burk
found that the cancer cell is coated with a protein lining and that
it is this protein lining (or covering) that prevents the body?s
normal defenses from getting to the cancer cell. They found that,
if you can dissolve the protein lining from around the cancer cell,
the body?s normal defenses, the leukocytes (white blood cells),
will destroy the cancer cell. Woebenzyme is a product from
Germany that appears to do just that. Chapters five and six of the
book
World Without Cancer describe this process in more detail.
DIET AND FOOD THERAPIES: Many
centers are using a variety of food therapies to treat cancer. Max
Gerson began in the fifties saving lives using a strict diet of
fresh vegetables and fruit. Many people have had successes just
using a macrobiotic diet, vegetarian diets, and the Budwig diet.
Others add products like wheat grass, barley green, and broccoli
sprouts to their diet because of special properties they contain.
For example, broccoli sprouts (not just broccoli) contains a
cancer-fighting agent known as sulforaphane that prompts the body
to make an enzyme that prevents tumors from forming. For more
information, go to our list of
cancer fighting foods.
- Budwig
diet/flax seed oil: The Flax seed (Linseed) oil diet was
originally proposed by Dr. Johanna Budwig, a German biochemist and
expert on fats and oils in 1951. Her simple formula of two
tablespoons of flaxseed oil to a quarter cup of low fat cottage
cheese (or other foods containing sulfur) helps increase
metabolism, boosts the immune systems, reduces cholesterol levels,
and helps inhibit cancer-cell growth.
- Hallelujah Acres Diet
developed by Dr. George Malkmus is a vegetarian diet that has
helped with a variety of diseases, including cancer. For more
information, go to their website at http://www.hacres.com/.
- Low sugar Diets seem to
starve cancer cells. Cancer cells seem to use sugar as their basic
"fuel." In addition, a high sugar intake seems to increase factors
in the body responsible for creating conditions that encourage
cancer to grow - for example, high acidosis, immune system
suppression and prosglandin production.
GERSON: The Gerson therapy
consists of detoxification and diet. Detoxification involves the
use of coffee enemas. The theory behind this is that caffeine is
rapidly absorbed through the lower bowel and travels directly to
the liver where it stimulates the production of natural immune
factors. Care must be taken not to over-stimulate the liver which
could eventually lead to its fatigue and malfunction. The diet is
similar to the Laetrile diet, but is more strict. It includes
twelve or more glasses daily of freshly pressed fruit and vegetable
juices, a daily vegetable soup, and potassium/iodine supplements.
The therapy was developed by Dr. Max Gerson, a graduate of the
University of Freiburg Medical School in Germany who fled to the
U.S. in 1936 as a refugee of fascism. For more information,
go to our Gerson Institute
page.
GLYCOALKALOIDS:
These are used mostly for skin cancers. Lane Labs has done
studies using their product "Skin Answer" and has had good results
on squamous cell carcinomas. However, melanomas are not treated
using this.
GREEN TEA: This
is a popular cancer preventative and a favorite of the Asians
for centuries. Dr. Fujiki, of Japan's National Cancer Center says
"Green tea cannot prevent every cancer, but it's the cheapest and
most reliable method for cancer prevention available to the general
public." The active ingredient is a chemical compound abbreviated
to EGCG, which has strong free-radical-scavenging
properties.
HAELAN: Haelan
is a promising nutritional-based anti-cancer agent made from liquid
soy bean extract. Its array of benefits include blocking
cancer-cell blood supplies, enzymatic activity, tumor reduction,
and boosting of the immune system. It has also been found to help
relieve the side-effects of conventional cancer
therapies.
HERBAL EXTRACTS/PLANT
PRODUCTS: There are many herbal extracts and concoctions and
plant products used to treat cancer. These include:
- Artemesia,
also known as wormwood is being researched as a
safe, non-toxic, and inexpensive alternative for cancer
patients.
- Italian researchers have found that
an extract from the chuchuhuasi tree fights tumors and
reduces inflammation. (It is often used for arthritis.) We have not
had time to research this product.
- Essiac tea is an herbal concoction
composed of Burdock, Indian Rhubarb, Sorrel, Slippery Elm and other
ingredients. It was developed by a nurse in Canada, Rene Caisse
(Essiac is Caisse spelled backward). Caisse gave the formula to a
company in Canada who markets the product today. Indian Rhubarb
contains benzaldehyde, one of the components of Amygdalin
(Laetrile). Many alternative physicians use Essiac to help cleanse
the blood, especially if a patient has been on chemotherapy or
radiation. Note: Not all formulas being sold today are authentic.
To read more about Essiac go to
Rene Caisse's story.
- Graviola is a product from a
tree in the Rain Forests of the Amazon. Producers claim it is
stronger at killing colon cancer cells than common chemotherapeutic
drugs and that it hunts down and destroys prostate, lung, breast,
colon, and pancreatic cancers, while leaving healthy cells alone.
It is supposed to help one's immune system as well. Go to http://www.graviola.org for
information. We have not heard from anyone that has successfully
used this product. If you are aware of anyone that has, be sure to
let our webmaster
know.
- Hoxsey is an herbal
concoction composed of poke root, burdock root, barberry root,
buckthorn bark, and stillinga root. It is administered in two
forms. One is taken orally and the other is a salve (containing
blood root) which, if the tumor is on or close to the surface of
the skin, is applied topically. The formula was first used in 1924
by Harry M. Hoxsey, a controversial and colorful figure who said he
obtained it from his grandfather. The elder Hoxsey was a farmer who
observed one of his horses apparently cure itself of cancer by
instinctively eating certain plants. Many plants which animals seek
when they are ill contain nitrilosides. Amygdalin (Laetrile) is
classified as a nitriloside. For more information on Hoxsey, go to
our books and videos
section or the clinic page.
- Pau D'Arco is an extract
from the inner bark of a certain South American tree. Lapachol, the
active ingredient, can produce strong biological responses against
cancer. It is said that the pau d'arco tree yields lapachol
and 20 other compounds that may be useful in treating cancer,
lupus, diabetes and Hodgkin's Disease.
- Radium weed, also known as
petty spurge or Euphorbia peplus, may hold the key to treatment of
non-melanoma skin cancer. It has been used as a folk treatment for
skin conditions for hundreds of years. An Australian company
Peplin Biotech has been studying the active compounds in the
weed and finding very good results.
- Red Clover - Used for centuries. The National Cancer
Institute researched the herb and found 4 anti-tumor compounds in
red clover.
- Saw Palmetto is often used
in the treatment of prostate cancer.
- Tian Xian (pronounced
"Dianne Sean") is a Chinese herbal supplement with
ingredients that help control, inhibit and destroy cancer
cells. Go to http://www.tianxian.com/english/index.shtml
or http://www.cancer-herbs.com/contact/index.html
for information.
HYDRAZINE SULFATE: This is a
common industrial chemical that was first proposed in the treatment
of cancer in the 1970s by Joseph Gold, M.D., of the Syracuse Cancer
Research Institute. Its use is based on the fact that cancer is
known to derive energy from fermenting sugar instead of by burning
oxygen, as do other cells. Gold reasoned that hydrazine sulfate
would inhibit the liver's ability to deliver sugar to the tumor
and, in that way, inhibit tumor growth. Although this is an
alternative cancer treatment, it cannot be considered a natural
therapy because it is not based on any known mechanism of the body.
However, the advocates of hydrazine sulfate claim that it is useful
in combating cachexia, the extreme loss of weight that often is
associated with the terminal stage of cancer. More info is at
Syracuse Cancer Research Institute's website at http://scri.ngen.com/ or http://www.kathykeeton-cancer.com/
or have your doctor call them at 315.472.6616. However there
are cautions that should be considered before you use this product.
Recipes for those using the product (tyramine-free, vinegar-free...
etc.) are available at
http://www.angelfire.com/music/fiddle/recipes/recipesindex.html.
HYPERTHERMIA: The theory
behind hyperthermia (heat therapy) is that raising the temperature
of the body increases circulation and also increases the supply of
oxygen to the cancer site. Cancer cells do not thrive in the
presence of oxygen. Tumors and cells located near the surface of
the body are more vulnerable to heat treatments than those
protected deep inside. Although the prolonged high
temperatures can be uncomfortable to the patient, this treatment
has produced excellent results.
IMMUNE-SYSTEM BOOSTERS/IMMUNO
THERAPIES: Also called Biological Response Modifier
Therapy. A biological response modifier is a substance that
stimulates the body's response to infection and disease.
Products like Colostrum, MGN3, IP6 (Inostal), Iscador (Mistletoe), and mushroom
extracts help rebuild the immune system and have been
successful in fighting and in many cases reversing
cancers. Many centers use some form of immuno therapy. Some
use herbs, such as Echinacea, Pau D'arco, and Mistletoe, while others use those
factors found in a healthy immune system already such as
interferon, interleukin, gamma globulin, and tumor necrosis factor
(TNF).
- Agaricus mushrooms from
Brazil have been found to be very potent.
- Aloe vera helps the body
fight infections and malignant cells. It is also a detoxifier and
an immunomodulator, meaning it will balance your immune system. One
company, Mannatech, produces a stabilized aloe extract in pill form
called Ambrotose.
- Alpha lipoic acid has been
found to have a number of positive impacts in relation to cancer.
In its antioxidant capacity, it protects a complex called NF kappa
B. NF Kappa B is involved in controlling cell division and is often
damaged in cancer cells (by free radicals). When this damage
happens NF Kappa B is activated and oncogenes can take over the
cell cycle leading to uncontrolled cell division and cancer. ALA in
conjunction with N-Acetyl Cysteine has been found to repair
functional defects in the immune systems of cancer patients as
well.
- Beta
Glucan helps build up ones immunity and can have anti-tumor
effects.
- Carnivora is an extract of the Venus Fly Trap plant.
Carnivora externally applied has helped with skin cancers and when
taken in capsules, may stop the halt or reduce tumor
growth. The active component of carnivora is plumbagin, a
powerful immunological booster.
- Chlorella, a single cell
algae, also helps build the immune system.
- Colostrum is the fluid given
by the mother's breast within 24 hours after giving birth. It is a
nutrient loaded with immune-system boosters. Colostrum
collected from calves are a good source and can be found at many
health food stores.
- Ganoderma is a unique product
containing vitamins, minerals, and different mushroom species. It
helps build the immune system and helps with detoxification,
especially of the liver. It also helps with the side effects of
chemo and radiation.
- Graviola - see Herbal/Plant
Products above
- Inositol is a natural
phytochemical (plant chemical) found in rice bran. Several studies
since the mid-1980s have shown it to increase Natural Killer (NK)
cell activity and exhibit anti-tumor activity.
- Interferon, or the Koch
serum which is supposed to force the body to create interferon,
stimulate the growth of certain disease-fighting blood cells in the
immune system, and to help slow tumor growth. These substances are
normally produced by the body, but some are produced in the
laboratory.
- Interleukin-2 is a synthetic
version of a naturally-occurring cytokine found in the human immune
system. In conventional treatment, larger doses of this are used
vs. smaller amounts used by alternative clinics. Also, recent
studies seem to indicate that melatonin combined with IL-2 may be
more effective than chemotherapy in treating lung
cancer.
- Iscador is an extract of Mistletoe.
- MGN3 was developed by Dr.
Mamdooh Ghoneum from extracts of rice bran and mushrooms. In
published studies, MGN-3 was shown to greatly increase NK cell
activity. One source is Lane
Labs.
- Shark Liver Oil (below) is
another good immune system builder.
Insulin Potentiation
Therapy: IPT is an innovation in cancer care using
insulin to magnify the powerful cell-killing effects of ordinary
chemotherapy drugs, which can then be used in very low doses.
Because cancer cells have so many more insulin receptors than
normal cells, insulin acts on them much more strongly. The end
result here is that the chemotherapy drugs get effectively targeted
just on the cancer cells to kill them, with little or no effects on
normal tissues. Thus IPT can avoid the dose-related side effects of
chemotherapy. One of the clinics using this approach is Contemporary Medicine, run by
Dr. Steven Ayers.
METABOLIC THERAPY: The
dictionary definition of the word metabolic is that which
pertains to the physical and chemical processes involved in the
maintenance of life. There are two kinds of metabolism:
anabolism, the process by which simple substances are
synthesized into complex ones; and catabolism, the process
by which complex structures are broken down into simple ones.
Anabolism is associated with the growth and repair of healthy
tissue. Catabolism is associated with the disease state and the
breakdown of tissue. When the term metabolic therapy is used
by doctors of alternative medicine, it denotes, not a specific
therapy, but a category of treatments which are non-toxic,
non-invasive, and which support the anabolic process. Diet and
enzymes are key in this type of therapy. Dr. William Kelly and Dr.
Nicholas Gonzales are well known for their use of metabolic
therapy in treating cancer. Dr. Kelly's book is online at www.drkelley.com/CANLIVER55.html,
or you can order it from Christian Cancer Volunteers at
316-290-2128.
Mind/Body
Approaches:We have a page
devoted to mind/body approaches at http://www.cancure.org/mind_body.htm.
OXYGEN AND OZONE TREATMENT:
The key to this therapy is getting elevated concentrations of
oxygen into the body or tumor using various means. Nobel Prize
winner Dr. Otto Warburg showed that cancer cells do not occur in a
healthy, oxygenated environment. Many think lack of oxygen is the
prime cause of all cancers. An impressive variety of new ways to
introduce oxygen into the body are emerging including pressure
chambers, liquid oxygen, peroxide, chemical compounds,
acid/alkaline balancing, injections, and ozone
treatments. Flooding cells with oxygen may retard the growth
of cancer cells or even help to return them to
normal.
- Hydrogen Peroxide is a form
of ozone treatment. Administered intra-veneously, this therapy
supplies an abundance of oxygen to the cancer site. Since cancer
thrives in a fermentive state and does not do well in the presence
of oxygen, the effect is to inhibit or destroy the cancer. As with
hydrazine sulphate, this is not a mechanism found in nature, but
many patients claim to have had their cancers put into remission
with this treatment.
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is
generally used for strokes and brain damage, but has been used by
some clinics for treating cancer. For more information contact
the American College of Hyperbaric Medicine in Florida at (305)
771-4000.
- Ozone therapy has been
widely used in Europe for many years. Ozone (O3) is a highly active
form of oxygen. Because it has powerful antiviral properties, it is
also used in treating AIDS. In the body, ozone gives off O which
kills viruses and bacteria. It also creates an oxygen-rich
environment that may force cancer cells to shift from an anaerobic
metabolism to an aerobic, or oxygen-based, metabolism. Ozone also
produces molecular oxygen (O2), in the same way that hydrogen
peroxide does.
PolyMVA: (Poly for polynucleotide reductaseand MVA = mineral, vitamins and amino
acids) is a nontoxic antioxidant liquid formula composed of alpha
lipoic acid and the element palladium. Poly-MVA is a compound that
contains various minerals, vitamins, and amino acids such as lipoic
acid, palladium, B 12, and other B complex vitamins. It is promoted
as a nutritional supplement that is a nontoxic alternative to
chemotherapy. Because it is said to be able to cross the
blood brain barrier, this product is usually used with brain
tumors, but it is said to be effective against tumors in the brain,
lung, ovaries, and breast, and that it boosts the immune system,
reduces pain, and helps people regain energy and appetite. It
is considered a powerful antioxidant that can turn the toxins
released by cancer into energy. According to its manufacturers, the
compound attacks cancerous cells and protects DNA and RNA. They
contend that the lipoic acid allows the various minerals, vitamins,
and amino acids to be easily absorbed into the system where they
can kill cancerous cells. Call 800-960-6760 for a packet of info or
to order the product or got to www.polymva.net for more
information.
SHARK CARTILAGE: Much
attention has been focused on shark cartilage as a treatment for
cancer. It is believed that it inhibits a tumor's ability to create
new blood vessels thereby starving it away. Questions have arisen
about the statement that "Shark's don't get cancer." New studies
may show that sharks do get cancer, but even if they don't,
it is has been theorized that this may be because of the
mineral rich environment sharks live in and not due to the "shark
cartilage." More information is needed on this type of
therapy. One of the most popular sources of shark cartilage is
BeneFin by Lane
Labs.
Shark Liver Oil contains
Alkylglycerols, chemicals that are found in mother's milk, the
immune system organs: liver, spleen, bone marrow, lymphatic
tissues, and in the blood. One chemical found in Shark Liver Oil is
squalamine, which appears to shut down a tumor's ability to connect
to and develop its own blood supply, and may be helpful in brain
cancer. It is another good immune system builder. Go to Lane Labs
for more information.
714X (Naessen) or
"Immunostim": 714X is a less documented but impressive cancer
treatment based on the microorganism theory of cancer. (For more
information on this, see Zappers and Anti-Parasitic herbals below.)
Scientist Gaston Naessens developed a highly advanced new form of
microscope which led him to the discovery of a controversial blood
microorganism he named "somatid." From this he developed a
therapeutic treatment for cancer and even AIDS. 714X is a
homeopathic combination of ammonium compounds, camphor, phosphors
and salts of silicate. A similar product is
Immunostim. Recently NCI has agreed to study 714X. For
details, go to
http://www.naturalhealthline.com/newsletter/1june01/714x.htm
and http://naturalhealthline.com/newsletter/15sep01/714x.htm.
WHEAT GRASS: This therapy
consists primarily of detoxification and consuming a wheat-grass
drink several times each day. Fresh wheat grass in this form is a
potent source of many vitamins, minerals and plant enzymes. Thus,
it is said to be nature's own nutritional program. Wheat grass also
contains Amygdalin/Laetrile, although other sources, such as
apricot seeds are more potent.
VACCINES:Many clinics have developed vaccines that
they use to treat cancer. One vaccine called Coley's Toxins,
developed by Dr. William Coley, appears to stimulate the body to
create an anti-cancer immune system response. Clinics that use
vaccines include: American
Metabolic, BioPulse, and
International Center for Medical & Biological Research, Inc.,
all in Mexico.
- Dendritic cell cancer
vaccines are special vaccines that use the body's natural
defense system to combat cancer. Dendritic cells are a specialized
type of immune system cells. Dendritic cells initiate the immune
response by processing antigen and presenting it to lymphocytes to
stimulate production of more lymphocytes. BioPulse is one of the clinics on the
forefront of this specialized technology.
- VG-1000 Vaccine is a
specialized vaccine developed by Dr. Valentin I. Govallo, MD, PhD,
which undermines the cancer cells defense mechanisms. This vaccine
is most beneficial in treating carcinomas and melanomas, and it is
also indicated for some sarcomas (cancers of muscle, bone, and
connective tissue) and in leukemia. Patients recently subjected to
chemotherapy or radiation respond more slowly to VG-1000 as they
have a depressed immune system. However, patients who have had
neither radiation nor chemotherapy respond favorably. Thus VG-1000
is clearly indicated as first-line treatment for persons with
recently diagnosed cancers, as well as to help prevent
recurrence. This treatment is now available at two
specialized facilities in North America, The Immuno-Augmentative Clinic in
Freeport, Grand Bahamas, and also CHIPSA's
- Center for Integrative Medicine in Tijuana, Baja California,
Mexico.
ZAPPERS AND ANTI-PARASITIC HERBALS: The thesis behind this
theory is that all diseases are caused by parasites (including
flukes) and that all one has to do to eliminate the disease state
is to eliminate the parasites. The two methods normally advocated
are (1) passing a low-amperage electrical current through the body
via a small, battery-powered device called a "zapper" and/or (2)
consuming a combination of anti-parasitic herbals. There is strong
evidence to support this theory, and we at The Cancer Cure
Foundation know that positive results are often obtained. However,
we question the explanations of why this works. It is our view that
the parasites are not the cause of diseases but the result of them.
It is possible that the disease state is caused by a low electrical
charge at the sub-cellular level which leads to an acidic
environment. It is this environment that, not only causes the cells
to malfunction (thus, the diseases), but which also reduces the
cell's defenses against parasites. Anything which raises the
electrical potential of the cells (the zapper?) or which moves the
body toward an alkaline state (the herbs?) will produce the desired
healing effect. It is possible that the herbs also have a genuine
anti-parasitic effect in their own right by being selectively toxic
to the parasites. However, if the electrical concept is valid, then
the long-term healing effect is attributable, not to the herbal
therapy, but the electrical therapy.
One of the pioneers in the use of
zappers and anti-parasitic herbals is Dr. Clark. Her website is www.drclark.net. Recently her
clinic in Mexico was closed, but we understand that she will be
opening a clinic in Switzerland. We will post details as they
become available.
