This document discusses the current state of cancer treatment and research. It argues that cancer is often treated as a symptom rather than addressing its underlying causes. Conventional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation have significant side effects and survival rates have not improved much in recent decades. Alternative treatments are difficult to research and prescribe due to regulatory hurdles and financial incentives of pharmaceutical companies. The document advocates an integrative approach to first address lifestyle and environmental factors before solely relying on conventional interventions.

8oyal 8aymond 8lfe was a brllllanL sclenLlsL born ln 1888 and dled ln 1971. AfLer sLudylng aL !ohns Popklns, 8lfe developed Lechnology whlch ls sLlll commonly used Loday ln Lhe flelds of opLlcs, elecLronlcs, radlochemlsLry, blochemlsLry, balllsLlcs, and avlaLlon. lL ls a falr sLaLemenL LhaL 8lfe pracLlcally developed bloelecLrlc medlclne hlmself. Pe recelved 14 ma[or awards and honors and was glven an honorary uocLoraLe by Lhe unlverslLy of Peldelberg for hls work. uurlng Lhe 66 years LhaL 8lfe spenL deslgnlng and bulldlng medlcal lnsLrumenLs, he worked for Zelss CpLlcs, Lhe u.S.

8ecause 8lfe was self-educaLed ln so many dlfferenL flelds, he lnLulLlvely looked for hls answers ln areas beyond Lhe rlgld sclenLlflc sLrucLure of hls day. Pe had masLered so many dlfferenL dlsclpllnes LhaL he llLerally had, aL hls lnLellecLual dlsposal, Lhe skllls and knowledge of an enLlre Leam of sclenLlsLs and Lechnlclans from a number of dlfferenL sclenLlflc flelds. So, whenever new Lechnology was needed Lo perform a new Lask, 8lfe slmply lnvenLed and Lhen bullL lL hlmself as was necessary for many sclenLlsLs of hls day.
8lfe's lnvenLlons lnclude a heLerodynlng ulLravloleL mlcroscope, a mlcro-dlssecLor, and a mlcromanlpulaLor. When you Lhoroughly undersLand 8lfe's achlevemenLs, you may well declde LhaL he had one of Lhe mosL glfLed, versaLlle, sclenLlflc mlnds ln human hlsLory. 8y 1920, 8lfe had flnlshed bulldlng Lhe world's flrsL vlrus mlcroscope. 8y 1933, he had perfecLed LhaL Lechnology and had consLrucLed Lhe lncredlbly complex unlversal Mlcroscope, whlch had nearly 6,000 dlfferenL parLs and was capable of magnlfylng ob[ecLs 60,000 Llmes Lhelr normal slze. WlLh Lhls lncredlble mlcroscope, 8lfe became Lhe flrsL human belng Lo acLually see a llve vlrus, and unLll qulLe recenLly, Lhe unlversal Mlcroscope was Lhe only one whlch was able vlew llve vlruses.
Modern elecLron mlcroscopes lnsLanLly klll everyLhlng beneaLh Lhem, vlewlng only Lhe mummlfled remalns and debrls.

8uL how was 8lfe able Lo accompllsh Lhls, ln an age when elecLronlcs and medlclne were sLlll [usL evolvlng?

1he resulL of uslng a resonanL wavelengLh ls LhaL mlcro-organlsms whlch are lnvlslble ln whlLe llghL suddenly become vlslble ln a brllllanL flash of llghL when Lhey are exposed Lo Lhe color frequency LhaL resonaLes wlLh Lhelr own dlsLlncL specLroscoplc slgnaLure. 8lfe was Lhus able Lo see Lhese oLherwlse lnvlslble organlsms and waLch Lhem acLlvely lnvadlng Llssues culLures. 8lfe's dlscovery enabled hlm Lo vlew organlsms LhaL no one else could see wlLh ordlnary mlcroscopes.

Pe lllumlnaLed Lhe mlcrobe (usually a vlrus or bacLerla) wlLh Lwo dlfferenL wavelengLhs of Lhe same ulLravloleL llghL frequency whlch resonaLed wlLh Lhe specLral slgnaLure of Lhe mlcrobe. 1hese Lwo wavelengLhs produced lnLerference where Lhey merged. 1hls lnLerference was, ln effecL, a Lhlrd, longer wave whlch fell lnLo Lhe vlslble porLlon of Lhe elecLromagneLlc specLrum. 1hls was how 8lfe made lnvlslble mlcrobes vlslble wlLhouL kllllng Lhem, a feaL whlch Loday's elecLron mlcroscopes cannoL dupllcaLe.
8y Lhls Llme, 8lfe was so far ahead of hls colleagues of Lhe 1930's, LhaL Lhey could noL comprehend whaL he was dolng wlLhouL acLually Lravellng Lo San ulego Lo vlslL 8lfe's laboraLory Lo look Lhrough hls vlrus Mlcroscope for Lhemselves. And many dld exacLly LhaL.
Cne was vlrglnla LlvlngsLon.

ln reallLy, 8oyal 8lfe had ldenLlfled Lhe human cancer vlrus flrsL...ln 1920! 8lfe Lhen made over 20,000 unsuccessful aLLempLs Lo Lransform normal cells lnLo Lumor cells.

Pe documenLed everyLhlng wlLh fllm, phoLographs, and meLlculous records. Pe named Lhe cancer vlrus 'CrypLocldes prlmordlales.'
vlrglnla LlvlngsLon, ln her papers, renamed lL rogenlLor CrypLocldes. 8oyal 8lfe was never even menLloned ln her papers. ln facL, 8lfe seldom goL credlL for hls monumenLal dlscoverles. Pe was a quleL, unassumlng sclenLlsL, dedlcaLed Lo expandlng hls dlscoverles raLher Lhan Lo amblLlon, fame, and glory. Pls dlsLasLe for medlcal pollLlcs (whlch he could afford Lo lgnore Lhanks Lo generous LrusLs seL up by prlvaLe benefacLors) lefL hlm aL a dlsadvanLage laLer, when powerful forces aLLacked hlm. Coupled wlLh Lhe lnfluence of Lhe pharmaceuLlcal lndusLry ln purglng hls papers from medlcal [ournals, lL ls hardly surprlslng LhaL few have heard of 8lfe Loday.
Meanwhlle, debaLe raged beLween Lhose who had seen vlruses changlng lnLo dlfferenL forms beneaLh 8lfe's mlcroscopes, and Lhose who had noL. 1hose who condemned wlLhouL lnvesLlgaLlon, such as Lhe lnfluenLlal ur. 1homas 8lvers, clalmed Lhese forms dldn'L exlsL. 8ecause hls mlcroscope dld noL reveal Lhem, 8lvers argued LhaL Lhere was "no loglcal basls for bellef ln Lhls Lheory." 1he same argumenL ls used Loday ln evaluaLlng many oLher 'alLernaLlve' medlcal LreaLmenLs, lf Lhere ls no precedenL, Lhen lL musL noL be valld. noLhlng can convlnce a closed mlnd. MosL had never acLually looked Lhough Lhe San ulego mlcroscopes...alr Lravel ln Lhe 1930's was uncomforLable, prlmlLlve, and raLher rlsky. So, Lhe debaLe abouL Lhe llfe cycle of vlruses was resolved ln favor of Lhose who never saw lL (even modern elecLron mlcroscopes show frozen lmages, noL Lhe llfe cycle of vlruses ln process).
neverLheless, many sclenLlsLs and docLors have slnce conflrmed 8lfe's dlscovery of Lhe cancer vlrus and lLs pleomorphlc naLure, uslng darkfleld Lechnlques, Lhe naessens mlcroscope, and laboraLory experlmenLs. 8lfe also worked wlLh Lhe Lop sclenLlsLs and docLors of hls day who also conflrmed or endorsed varlous areas of hls work. 1hey lncluded: L.C. 8osenow, Sr. (longLlme Chlef of 8acLerlology, Mayo Cllnlc), ArLhur kendall (ulrecLor, norLhwesLern Medlcal School), ur. Ceorge uock (lnLernaLlonally-renowned), Alvln loord (famous paLhologlsL), 8ufus kleln-SchmldL (resldenL of uSC), 8.1. Pamer (SuperlnLendenL, aradlse valley SanlLarlum, ur.

ZlLe (Chlcago unlverslLy), and many oLhers.
8lfe lgnored Lhe debaLe, preferrlng Lo concenLraLe on reflnlng hls meLhod of desLroylng Lhese Llny klller vlruses. Pe used Lhe same prlnclple Lo klll Lhem, whlch made Lhem vlslble: resonance. 8y lncreaslng Lhe lnLenslLy of a frequency whlch resonaLed naLurally wlLh Lhese mlcrobes, 8lfe lncreased Lhelr naLural osclllaLlons unLll Lhey dlsLorLed and dlslnLegraLed from sLrucLural sLresses. 8lfe called Lhls frequency 'Lhe morLal osclllaLory raLe,' or 'MC8', and lL dld no harm whaLsoever Lo Lhe surroundlng Llssues.
1hls prlnclple can be lllusLraLed by uslng an lnLense muslcal noLe Lo shaLLer a wlne glass: Lhe molecules of Lhe glass are already osclllaLlng aL some harmonlc (mulLlple) of LhaL muslcal noLe, Lhey are ln resonance wlLh lL, vlbraLe, and can no longer remaln ln conflguraLlon. 8ecause everyLhlng else has a dlfferenL resonanL frequency, noLhlng buL Lhe glass's molecular conflguraLlon ls desLroyed. 1here are llLerally hundreds of Lrllllons of dlfferenL resonanL frequencles, and every specles and molecule has lLs very own.

AfLer Lhe 90 days of LreaLmenL, Lhe CommlLLee concluded LhaL 86.3 of Lhe paLlenLs had been compleLely cured. 1he LreaLmenL was Lhen ad[usLed and Lhe remalnlng 13.3 of Lhe paLlenLs also responded wlLhln Lhe nexL four weeks. 1he LoLal recovery raLe uslng 8lfe's Lechnology was 100.

AL flrsL, a Loken aLLempL was made Lo buy-ouL 8lfe.

1o flnlsh Lhe [ob, Lhe medlcal [ournals, supporLed almosL enLlrely by drug company revenues and conLrolled by Lhe AMA, refused Lo publlsh any paper by anyone on 8lfe's Lherapy. 1herefore, an enLlre generaLlon of medlcal sLudenLs graduaLed lnLo pracLlce wlLhouL ever once hearlng of 8lfe's breakLhroughs ln medlclne. 1he magnlLude of such an lnsane crlme ecllpses every mass murder ln hlsLory.

1he lnevlLable concluslon reached by 8lfe was LhaL hls llfe-long labor and dlscoverles had noL only been lgnored buL probably would be burled wlLh hlm.

When we see a person LhaL has a dlagnosls of cancer of any name, Lhe goal really ls Lo dlscover Lhe cause or Lhe reason why Lhe body has allowed or responded ln such a way. ls lL loglcal Lo belleve LhaL, Lhough medlcal lnLervenLlon may be besL Lo slow a fasL growlng cancer, flndlng and correcLlng Lhe cause would be Lhe besL approach Lo LreaLlng any dysfuncLlon? ln Lhls chapLer l wlll explaln Lhe connecLlon beLween cancer and Lhe lmmune sysLem as slmple as l know how. ?ou'll see LhaL lf you don'L supporL and modulaLe your lmmune sysLem you wlll nLvL8 lmprove your physlology and Lhe cancer wlll slmply progress. Some hlghllghL polnLs Lo know abouL your lmmune sysLem: ?our lmmune sysLem does one Lhlng and only one Lhlng - lL klLLS Lhlngs. ?our lmmune sysLem may be separaLed lnLo Lwo responses - 1h1 and 1h2 (slmpllsLlcally, Lhere are more buL we'll leave lL aL LhaL for now) ?our lmmune sysLem ls supposed Lo only 'Lurn on' agalnsL blo-Loxlns (llvlng organlsms llke bacLerla, vlrus, paraslLes.LhaL ls, Lhlngs LhaL lL can klll) 1he 1h1 response ls Lhe lmmedlaLe, klller cell response (Lhlnk of lL as Lhe Marlne Corps) agalnsL Lhe enemy and ls Lhe prlmary klller of anLlgens and cancer cells. WhaL lL 'Lurns on' agalnsL ls called an anLlgen ln Lhe lmmune response. 1he 1h2 response ls senL ouL secondarlly and ls malnly responslble for maklng anLlbodles agalnsL Lhe anLlgen LhaL Lhe 1h1 sysLem 'Lurned on' agalnsL. 1he anLlbodles 'Lag' LhaL anLlgens and Lhe 1h1 sysLem can Lhen klll lL. ?our lmmune sysLem asslsLs ln Lhe cleanlng up of old cells necessary for cancer Lo nC1 develop ln Lhe flrsL place. 1hls ls prlmarlly a 1h1 funcLlon. 8oLh 1h1 and 1h2 responses are named such because Lhey carry a slurry of dlfferenL chemlcals (chemoklnes and cyLoklnes) LhaL make up such a response. An Au1ClMMunL dlsorder happens when your lmmune sysLem sLarLs aLLacklng self-Llssue. 8eally, an auLolmmune dlsease develops because your lmmune sysLem has 'Lurned-on' agalnsL someLhlng l1 lCunu lodged ln self Llssue and now ls desLroylng self-Llssue as well. LeL's expand LhaL a llLLle more so you can fully undersLand lL: lf my lmmune sysLem flres a response agalnsL a flu vlrus l [usL plcked up and lL's a parLlcularly vlrulenL vlrus, a sLrong 1h1 response ls released ln an aLLempL Lo klll Lhe forelgn lnvader and brlng me back Lo healLh. My 'sLrong 1h1 response' ls really a collecLlon of dlfferenL cells LhaL are looklng for a baLLle, Lhey are seeklng an enemy wlLh guns loaded. LeL's say Lhey flnd Lhe flu vlrus and recognlze LhaL lL ls Lhe enemy Lhey were commlssloned Lo klll, Lhey aLLack lL, klll lL and Lhen reLreaL ln vlcLory. 1he 1h1/1h2 sysLem goes back lnLo balance and llfe ls good. An auLolmmune dlsease beglns when, for a mulLlLude of reasons we won'L breach here, sLray cyLoklnes from a 1h1 response dldn'L recognlze Lhe flu vlrus as Lhe enemy buL recognlzed someLhlng LhaL Lhey were never supposed Lo recognlze as an enemy - leL's say a heavy meLal LoxlclLy ln my Lhyrold. 8ecause l was exposed Lo a greaL amounL of mercury from amalgams, vacclnaLlons, and [usL llvlng ln a Loxlc world, mercury had lodge ln Lhe faL cells surroundlng my Lhyrold and oLher Llssues. My llver, unable Lo clear ouL LhaL whlch l was exposed Lo caused my sysLem Lo shunL Lhe LoxlclLy Lo faL sLorage cells for safe keeplng. never was my lmmune sysLem supposed Lo 'Lurn-on' agalnsL such chemlcal LoxlclLy! ls my lmmune sysLem ever golng Lo be able Lo klll mercury? Cf course noL, mercury ls an elemenL on Lhe perlodlc Lable, noL a llvlng organlsm. lf my lmmune sysLem lnadverLenLly Lurns- on agalnsL someLhlng LhaL cannoL or wlll noL dle, Lhere wlll be a loL of collaLeral damage and l mlghL even begln Lo sLarL maklng anLlbodles agalnsL Lhe Llssues surroundlng Lhe aLLack. 1hls ls an auLolmmune dlsease, lL lsn'L really a dlsease aL all, lL ls an lmmune aLLack on self-Llssue because my lmmune sysLem ls flrlng agalnsL someLhlng lL never should of flred agalnsL! 8emember, when Lhe lmmune sysLem Lurns-on agalnsL someLhlng, lL does so unLll lL achleves vlcLory, unLll lL kllls lL. Summary: An auLolmmune dlsease ls when my lmmune sysLem ls flrlng agalnsL someLhlng (elLher consLanL 1h1 domlnanL or consLanL 1h2 domlnanL) LhaL lL found lodged ln self-Llssue LhaL elLher cannoL or wlll noL dle and ls desLroylng self-Llssue ln Lhe process. So, whaL ls Lhe CAuSL of an auLolmmune aLLack? lL ls noL really an lmmune sysLem gone wrong" as lL ls an lmmune sysLem Lhlnklng lL ls dolng rlghL" buL flrlng agalnsL someLhlng LhaL lL can never klll. 1he only way Lo ulLlmaLely correcL an auLolmmune dlsorder ls Lo remove Lhe anLlgen lL ls maklng war agalnsL. 1hls way you are essenLlally foollng your lmmune sysLem Lo Lhlnk LhaL lL has won and Lhe enemy ls dead. ln Lhe case of auLolmmune dlsease agalnsL a speclflc organ llke PashlmoLo's hypoLhyroldlsm, Lhere ls llLLle help ln dlrecL organ supporL wlLhouL correcLlng Lhe cause. 1he mechanlsm for Lhe lssue ls Lhe lmmune response ln Lhe flrsL place and noL LhaL Lhe organ ls deflclenL ln any Lype of nuLrlenL, Lhe reason Lhe person may need hormone replacemenL (such as SynLhyrold) ln hypoLhyroldlsm ls because Lhe lmmune sysLem ls acLually desLroylng Lhe cells, buL replacemenL wlLhouL halLlng Lhe desLrucLlon ls mlsslng Lhe polnL. WhaL does Lhls all have Lo do wlLh cancer? LveryLhlng! 8emember, your 1h1 response noL only kllls forelgn enemles buL helps mop up cells LhaL are supposed Lo dle when Lhey've served ouL Lhere usefulness. Cancer may be deflned as cells nC1 dylng buL lnsLead reproduclng a useless cell agaln and agaln. lf a person has a 1h2 domlnanL auLolmmune dlsorder, Lhelr 1h1 sysLem wlll be suppressed. lf your 1h1 sysLem ls suppressed, normal cell deaLh wlll be hlndered. When we look aL a person LhaL ls noL well, one of Lhe flrsL quesLlons needs Lo be, whaL's Lhe mechanlsm". WlLh cancer lL's no dlfferenL. Why dld you geL cancer? Could lL be LhaL you've had a 1h2 domlnanL auLolmmune dlsorder for years and never even knew lL? usually people wlLh an auLolmmune dlsease LhaL lnvolves a loL of desLrucLlon and Lherefore a loL of sympLoms has a 1h1 domlnanL dlsorder, LhaL ls, Lhe lmmune response ls sLuck ln a 1h1 (klller cell, Marlne Corps) aLLack. 1hls Lyplcally brlngs abouL much Llssue damage, much lnflammaLlon and a greaLer number of sympLoms LhaL causes Lhem Lo seek medlcal care and arrlve aL a dlagnosls. 1hey evenLually know Lhey have MS, 8A, PashlmoLo's, eLc. 8uL Lhe same process LhaL may leave an lndlvldual 'sLuck' ln a 1h2 domlnanL slLuaLlon ofLen produces a slower aLLack on Llssue, lesser sympLoms, a suppressed 1h1 response and a chronlc, undlagnosed condlLlon. 1hls can lead Lo secondary condlLlons from a suppressed 1h1 response - cancer! nelLher Lhe sLandard medlcal nor an alLernaLlve healLhcare has adequaLely dealL wlLh auLolmmune condlLlons. Medlcally, Lhe paLlenL ls glven sLerolds, anLl-lnflammaLorles LhaL may relleve Lhe sympLoms buL do noLhlng Lo remove Lhe cause, alLernaLlve docLors have supporLed Lo organ wlLh glandulars or oLher supplemenLs. LeL's face lL, lf elLher LradlLlonal medlcal or Lhe alLernaLlve models had any greaL percenLage of success LreaLlng auLolmmune dlsease, you wouldn'L be readlng Lhls book because you probably wouldn'L have cancer. LeL's reason LogeLher: ls lL reasonable" Lo Lhlnk LhaL lf Lhe parL of my lmmune sysLem responslble for aldlng ln normal cell deaLh ls suppressed, cell repllcaLlon may proceed? ls lL reasonable" Lo Lhlnk LhaL maybe l should be checked for 1h2 domlnance? ls lL reasonable" LhaL fallure Lo dlscover Lhe cause of lmmune dysregulaLlon would lead Lo furLher desLrucLlon? l Lhlnk lL ls reasonable" LhaL someone 'ouL Lhere' musL be able Lo flnd ouL whaL was causlng Lhe dysregulaLlon, and l Lhlnk LhaL lL ls reasonable" LhaL lf whaLever was aL cause for such dysregulaLlon could be evaded, Lhen lL ls reasonable" LhaL Lhe damage suffered would aL leasL slow down. lL ls lmporLanL Lo undersLand LhaL an auLolmmune dlsease ls a 'sLaLe' LhaL Lhe lmmune sysLem ls ln. lL ls nC1 a dlsease of an organ, and even Lhough lL ls glven a mulLlLude of names dependlng on Lhe Llssue currenLly affecLed, lL ls a S1A1L of Lhe lmmune sysLem aLLacklng Lhe Llssue lL was meanL Lo proLecL. usually Lhe lmmune sysLem ls slowly aLLacklng Lhe Llssue over several years. And Lhen, Lhe person evenLually has a greaL enough desLrucLlon LhaL brlngs abouL sympLoms LhaL lead Lhem Lo seek some Lype of docLor. ln Lhe case of PashlmoLo's, Lhey ofLen geL dlagnosed wlLh hypoLhyroldlsm because Lhelr 1SP ls hlgh. And Lhen, Lhe 1SP ls managed by replacemenL buL no managemenL for Lhe lmmune response ls lnlLlaLed because lL was never assessed. ln Lhe case of oLher auLolmmune dlsorders, Lhe paLlenL ls ofLen mlsdlagnosed for years, even decades, and Lhey are lefL laden wlLh mulLlLudes of drugs aLLempLlng Lo suppress Lhelr sympLoms. 1he auLolmmune response ls an lnflammaLory response, whlch produces chemlcals called cyLoklnes, whlch are parL of Lhe body's naLural defense sysLem agalnsL ouLslde lnvaders. 8emember, Lhe body's lmmune sysLem may be separaLed lnLo a 1h1 and a 1h2 response. 1he 1h1 response may be LhoughL of as Lhe pollce force or Marlne Corps, Lhe body's lnlLlal sLrlke force agalnsL an lnvader or whaL ls called an anLlgen. When an anLlgen ls presenL, Lhe 1h1 sysLem flres and kllls Lhe vlrus, should Lhe bug be of a nasLy persuaslon and sLrong enough Lo reslsL Lhe 1h1 response, Lhe 1h2 sysLem klcks ln, creaLes anLlbodles agalnsL Lhe vlrus, Lagglng Lhem so approprlaLe whlLe blood cells can flnlsh Lhem off. A person wlLh an auLolmmune dlsease has Lhls process sLuck ln Lhe 'on' poslLlon, elLher hyper-1h1 or hyper-1h2, whlch prolonged, desLroys Lhe Llssue where Lhe anLlgen ls recognlzed.

1he new model" we are proposlng ls slmply Lo be more speclflc. lf an auLolmmune dlsease ls a hyper-1h2 aLLack (1h2 domlnanL) agalnsL an anLlgen, doesn'L lL make sense Lo do everyLhlng posslble Lo flnd ouL whaL Lhe anLlgen ls, aLLempL Lo remove lL and calm down Lhe 1h2 domlnance? l'm no rockeL sclenLlsL, buL Lhls makes sense Lo me. lL's loglcal and posslble Lo flnd Lhe speclflc blochemlcal paLLern perpeLraLlng Lhe response so we can deLermlne how we LreaL Lhem. lf you can undersLand Lhls chapLer and Lhe role of Lhe lmmune sysLem, you can undersLand how anLlgens (non-llvlng Loxlns or nasLy, hard Lo klll vlrus, mold, candlda.) coo be aL Lhe hearL of cancer.

WhaL do cancer cells feed on? Anaeroblc (wlLhouL oxygen) meLabollsm prlmarlly consumes glucose as a fuel source.

Amerlcans annually consume nearly 180 bllllon pounds of dalry producLs LhaL wlll average ouL Lo over 630 pounds per Amerlcan. Cheese, lce cream, yogurL, and mllk wlll be lngesLed from hormonally-LreaLed cows - cows LreaLed wlLh rbCP. MosL people are unaware LhaL laboraLory anlmals LreaLed wlLh rbCP experlenced enormous changes ln Lhelr lymphaLlc sysLems.
1he conLroverslal geneLlcally modlfled cow hormone was approved for human consumpLlon ln lebruary of 1994. Cancer sLaLlsLlcs have recenLly been publlshed by Lhe u.S. Census 8ureau comparlng deaLh raLes from cancer by sex and age groups ln 1980, 1990, and 1993. 1hese daLa supporL evldence of a runaway plague. All of Amerlca became a laboraLory sLudy for rbCP, whlch ls now ln Amerlca's lce cream, cheese, and plzza.
1here are small lncreases and decreases ln lymphaLlc cancer raLes from 1980 Lo 1990 dependlng upon sex and age group. WhaL happened ln 1993 represenLs the most dramat|c short-term |ncrease of any s|ng|e cancer ln Lhe hlsLory of epldemlologlcal dlscovery and analyses.
1he approval process for rbCP was Lhe mosL conLroverslal drug appllcaLlon ln Lhe hlsLory of Lhe lood & urug AdmlnlsLraLlon (luA). ln order Lo address LhaL conLroversy, Lhe luA publlshed an arLlcle ln Lhe [ournal SClLnCL (AugusL 24, 1990).

Lab anlmals LreaLed wlLh rbCP developed lymphaLlc abnormallLles. 1hls same hormone causlng changes ln lab anlmals was lnLroduced lnLo Amerlca's food supply ln 1994. As Amerlcans conLlnue Lo lngesL geneLlcally englneered mllk and dalry producLs, lymphaLlc cancer raLes soar.

Allowed proLeln lncludes flsh one Lo Lwo Llmes a week, one Lo Lwo eggs dally and yogurL dally, buL no oLher anlmal proLeln. ln our Lherapy, we use dleLs speclflcally because of Lhe effecL of food on Lhe auLonomlc nervous sysLem. 1hls sysLem conslsLs of Lhe sympaLheLlc and parasympaLheLlc branches and ulLlmaLely conLrols all aspecLs of our physlology, lncludlng lmmune funcLlon, cardlovascular acLlvlLy, endocrlne funcLlon and Lhe enLlre acLlon of our dlgesLlve sysLem. 1he sympaLheLlc and parasympaLheLlc sysLems have opposlng acLlons on Lhe LargeL organs and so can ad[usL our physlology dependlng on needs and demands, enabllng our bodles Lo reacL Lo any slLuaLlon, condlLlon or sLress. We belleve dlsease, whaLever Lhe form, occurs because Lhere ls an lmbalance ln auLonomlc funcLlon. lor example, we flnd solld Lumors, such as Lumors of Lhe breasL, lung, pancreas, colon, uLerus, ovarles, llver, eLc occur only ln paLlenLs who have an overly sLrong sympaLheLlc nervous sysLem and a correspondlngly weak, lneffecLlve parasympaLheLlc nervous sysLem. We belleve LhaL blood-based cancers, such as leukemla, lymphoma and mulLlple myeloma, only occur ln paLlenLs LhaL have an overly developed parasympaLheLlc nervous sysLem, and a correspondlngly weak sympaLheLlc nervous sysLem. revlous research, such as ur. lrancls oLLenger's research durlng Lhe 1920s and 1930s proposed LhaL much lf noL all dlsease has auLonomlc lmbalance as aL leasL one of Lhe ma[or causes. We have found LhaL speclflc nuLrlenLs and foods have speclflc, preclse and predlcLable effecLs on Lhe auLonomlc nervous sysLem. lor example, a vegeLarlan dleL emphaslzes fresh frulLs and vegeLables, parLlcularly leafy greens, and conLalns large doses of mlnerals such as magneslum and poLasslum. lL has been shown ln many sLudles LhaL magneslum suppresses sympaLheLlc funcLlon, whlle poLasslum sLlmulaLes parasympaLheLlc acLlvlLy. lurLhermore, a largely vegeLarlan dleL Lends Lo be very alkallnlzlng, and Lhe neurophyslologlc research documenLs LhaL ln an alkallnlzlng envlronmenL, sympaLheLlc acLlvlLy ls reduced and parasympaLheLlc acLlvlLy lncreased. So, whaLever oLher effecL a vegeLarlan dleL has, ln Lerms of auLonomlc nervous sysLem funcLlon, such a dleL wlll reduce sympaLheLlc acLlvlLy and sLlmulaLe Lhe parasympaLheLlc sysLem.

A hlgh-meaL dleL sLlmulaLes Lhe sympaLheLlc sysLem and Lones down parasympaLheLlc acLlvlLy. lurLhermore, such a dleL ls loaded wlLh sulfaLes and phosphaLes LhaL ln Lhe body are qulckly converLed lnLo free acld LhaL ln Lurn sLlmulaLes Lhe sympaLheLlc nervous sysLem whlle suppresslng parasympaLheLlc acLlvlLy. So, by Lhe careful use of dleL, we are able Lo effecL ma[or changes ln auLonomlc funcLlon, and brlng abouL balance ln a dysfuncLlonal nervous sysLem. We flnd, furLher, as Lhe auLonomlc sysLem comes lnLo greaLer harmony and balance, when Lhe auLonomlc branches are equally sLrong, all sysLems - from Lhe lmmune sysLem Lo Lhe cardlovascular sysLem - work beLLer regardless of Lhe underlylng problem. ln essence, we are uslng dleL Lo brlng abouL greaLer physlologlcal efflclency. lor cancer paLlenLs, long experlence has LaughL us LhaL lL ls noL enough Lo load paLlenLs wlLh enzymes, Lhe quesLlon of auLonomlc lmbalance musL also be addressed. ln Lerms of pancreaLlc paLlenLs speclflcally, a planL-based dleL provldes all Lhe nuLrlenLs Lo correcL auLonomlc dysfuncLlon. kn. coo yoo Jesctlbe tbe vltomlo ooJ mloetol sopplemeot teqlmeo yoo oseJ? wos lt meqoJoses ot o boslc oottltloool soppott? n!C: All of our paLlenLs, wheLher Lhey have cancer or some oLher problem, consume speclflc comblnaLlons of vlLamlns, mlnerals, Lrace elemenLs, amlno and faLLy aclds, and anlmal-derlved glandular and organ concenLraLes.

Agarlcus has Jooble- Jltectloo octlvlty on Lhe lmmune sysLem. ln oLher words, lL may be used Lo bolsLer a deflclenL lmmune sysLem, as occurs ln cases lnvolvlng lnfecLlons, or Agarlcus may be used Lo moderaLe an excesslve sysLem, as occurs ln cases of auLolmmune dlsease and allergles. 1hls means lL ls an lmmune modulaLor". ln cancer paLlenLs, lL helps suppress a hyper-acLlve 1h2 sysLem and lncrease a 1h1 response! Agarlcus may Lherefore be used by anyone. ln !apan, Agarlcus ls consldered a cure-all" herb. Cordyceps Mushroom Cordyceps ls one of Lhe 'ma[or players' of Lhe Chlnese Lonlc herbal sysLem and ls a 'hlL' ln deallng wlLh cancer. lL ls an exLremely effecLlve and powerful llfe-enhanclng agenL, boosLlng energy and vlLallLy. 8ecause lL ls rare, poLenL and hlghly Lreasured, llke ueer AnLler, 'good cordyceps' can be expenslve. lL ls a mushroom LhaL consumes Lhe body of a parLlcular Lype of caLerplllar ln mounLalnous reglons of Chlna, Mongolla, and 1lbeL. lL has enormous renown as a 'superLonlc' ln Chlnese herbal clrcles, and ls sald Lo bulld sexual and physlcal power, menLal energy, Lhe lmmune sysLem and ls unlversally belleved ln Lhe CrlenL Lo prolong llfe.

Some people walk lnLo my offlce wlLh a compleLe loss of hope, cordyceps ls one Lool LhaL can glve people a renewed deslre Lo llve. 8ecause lL conLalns boLh lo and ooq (Chlnese medlclne for a balance ln force) lL can be used by anyone safely and over a long perlod of Llme. lL replenlshes Lhe deep energy expended as a resulL of excesslve exerLlon, adapLlng Lo exLreme sLress (Lhe real klller ln cancer paLlenLs) or from aglng.
Cordyceps ls also used for Lhe purposes of sLrengLhenlng Lhe kldney funcLlons and kldney deLoxlflcaLlon, whlch also lncludes sexual funcLlon, braln power (decreaslng 1h17 acLlvlLy LhaL causes lnflammaLlon ln Lhe braln), sLrucLural lnLegrlLy and heallng ablllLy. ConslsLenL use of Cordyceps helps Lo sLrengLhen Lhe skeleLal sLrucLure, and speclflcally beneflLs Lhe lower back reglon, Lhe knees and ankles. lL can be greaL for paLlenLs wlLh meLasLaLlc dlsease Lo Lhe bones. Cordyceps ls also a ma[or Lung Lonlc. lL can be used Lo sLrengLhen resplraLory power ln Lhose who requlre exLra energy ln order Lo perform physlcal work (e.g. labor, sporLs or exerclse) or lL can be used by Lhose who suffer from deflclency of Lung sLrengLh due Lo cancer, asLhma, MesoLhelloma, eLc. lL ls especlally beneflclal Lo Lhose who suffer chronlc Lung weakness wlLh cough, wheezlng or shorLness of breaLh. lL ls hlghly regarded ln Chlna as a Lonlc for Lhose who are recoverlng from an lllness or an operaLlon, or afLer glvlng blrLh. ln Lhese cases, Lhe Cordyceps helps Lhe paLlenL more qulckly recover Lhelr physlcal power, Lo lmprove Lhelr appeLlLe, and Lo proLecL Lhe body from lnfecLlon.

lnLegraLlve Cancer 1reaLmenL lAC
WhaL ls Lhe deflnlLlon of an "lnLegraLlve LreaLmenL" for cancer? A: 1he deflnlLlon for "lnLegraLlve cancer LreaLmenL" LhaL mosL pracLlLloners use ls "Lhe aLLempL Lo 'marry' alLernaLlve, non-malnsLream LreaLmenL Lo Lhe paLlenL's currenL medlcal care lC8 1PL 8LS1 ln1L8LS1 Cl 1PL A1lLn1." Cenerally, Lhese are LreaLmenLs whlch are nC1 LaughL Lo docLors ln medlcal schools (Lhus noL undersLood by mosL LradlLlonal docLors), nC1 adverLlsed ln medlcal [ournals, and nC1 recommended by mosL physlclans Lo Lhelr paLlenLs. 1hey are also generally nC1 covered by healLh lnsurance pollcles. none of Lhls, however, means Lhey are noL effecLlve. ln facL, Lhey ofLen have a much hlgher documenLed efflcacy Lhan convenLlonal LreaLmenLs. C#2: Why are alLernaLlve, non-Loxlc approaches Lo cancer so ofLen more effecLlve Lhan convenLlonal cancer LreaLmenLs? A: 1he answer Lo Lhls quesLlon can be found ln Lhe "non-Loxlc" naLure of alLernaLlve LreaLmenLs. All alLernaLlve cancer LreaLmenL approaches are non-Loxlc when used correcLly. Cn Lhe oLher hand, Lhe "malnsLream" medlcal esLabllshmenL ls commlLLed Lo chemoLherapy drugs and oLher procedures such as radlaLlon LhaL are Loxlc by naLure. 1he long-Lerm Lrack records of numerous successful alLernaLlve approaches show LhaL cancer can be mosL effecLlvely overcome by uslng a non-Loxlc approach, and l belleve Lhls Lo be Lhe case for Lwo maln reasons: 1) 1he flrsL reason ls LhaL non-Loxlc approaches allow for "conLlnual" admlnlsLraLlon, or use, whlle Loxlc approaches do noL. 1oxlc convenLlonal approaches cannoL be admlnlsLered ln a "conLlnual" way because Lhey are so Loxlc LhaL conLlnual use would klll Lhe paLlenL before Lhe cancer could. 8ecause of Lhls, Loxlc approaches are always admlnlsLered wlLh doses or LreaLmenLs spaced ouL ln some way. Spaclng ouL LreaLmenLs, however, ls noL an effecLlve way Lo baLLle cancer because cancer's besL aLLrlbuLe ls lLs ablllLy Lo grow new cells fasL. 1hls means LhaL, ln-beLween Lhe Loxlc LreaLmenLs whlle your body ls recovery from Lhe LreaLmenL, Lhe cancer cells may also recover somewhaL from Lhe LreaLmenL. And Lhose cells LhaL grow back Lhe fasLesL are Lhe cells LhaL have some amounL of reslsLance Lo Lhe LreaLmenL. As a resulL, due Lo Lhe Loxlc LreaLmenL lLself, many cancer paLlenLs evenLually have Lo deal wlLh mulLl-drug- reslsLanL (or Mu8) cancer cells ln Lhelr bodles LhaL are even more dlfflculL Lo geL rld of Lhan Lhe orlglnal cancer cells were. ln oLher words, when a cancer paLlenL needs a few days or weeks for Lhelr body Lo recover from Lhe Loxlc LreaLmenL belng glven Lhem, Lhe Mu8 cancer cells and cancer sLem cells may also sLarL Lo recover durlng Lhls Llme. 1he cancer may even sLarL Lo grow fasLer Lhan before due Lo Lhe body's lmmune sysLem havlng been weakened by Lhe Loxlc LreaLmenL. LvenLually, a person's body may noL be able Lo recover aL all because Lhe lmmune sysLem and vlLal organs have been Loo weakened by Lhe LreaLmenL lLself. WlLh non-Loxlc LreaLmenL, however, Lhls vlclous cycle ls avolded. eople uslng a non-Loxlc approach can safely do LhaL approach every day for monLhs or even years wlLhouL any deLrlmenL Lo Lhelr body. lor example, people uslng 8lfe, roLocel, 8urzynskl's anLlneoplasLons, ur. Conzalez's enzymes, Poxsey's herbal remedy, Ceslum Plgh pP Lherapy, eLc., can use Lhese LreaLmenL approaches "24/7" for as long as Lhey need Lo unLll Lhelr cancer ls suppressed. Moreover, once a cancer paLlenL uslng a non-Loxlc meLhod ls pronounced ln remlsslon, Lhey can ofLen keep uslng Lhelr approach on a malnLenance level, lf Lhey choose, Lo ensure LhaL Lhelr cancer wlll never re-develop. 1hls "conLlnual use" aspecL of non-Loxlc LreaLmenLs makes Lhem much more effecLlve aL combaLlng someLhlng as fasL-repllcaLlng as cancer. 2) 1he second reason LhaL alLernaLlve LreaLmenLs are so ofLen more effecLlve Lhan convenLlonal ones has Lo do wlLh Lhelr LACk of llfe-LhreaLenlng slde-effecLs. 1oxlc convenLlonal LreaLmenLs can cause exLremely serlous negaLlve slde effecLs, such as damage Lo Lhe llver, kldneys, and hearL, Lo Lhe polnL where Lhe slde effecLs Lhemselves may klll Lhe paLlenL! Many, many people have dled from chemoLherapy and/or radlaLlon LhaL were used Lo LreaL Lhelr cancer. 8adlaLlon Lo areas of Lhe chesL for breasL or lung cancer can cause severe hearL damage and Lhe paLlenL may subsequenLly dle from hearL fallure. ChemoLherapy can brlng abouL kldney or llver fallure, hearL aLLack, or may promoLe a faLal lnfecLlon or blood cloL. 1hen why Lo convenLlonal docLors keep uslng lL? All l can Lhlnk of for Lhe answer Lo LhaL one ls LhaL 'follow Lhe money'. Moreover, boLh chemoLherapy and radlaLlon can cause "secondary" cancers Lo develop laLer on. (?es, many convenLlonal cancer LreaLmenLs are acLually carclnogenlc!) 1hus, even lf a cancer paLlenL goes lnLo remlsslon as a resulL of Lhelr Loxlc convenLlonal LreaLmenL, Lhey may elLher dle of a hearL aLLack or oLher organ fallure a few years laLer, or Lhey may develop a new llfe-LhreaLenlng cancer LhaL could klll Lhem. 1wo of Lhe mosL common Lypes off secondary cancers caused by convenLlonal LreaLmenL are llver cancer and leukemla. 1hus, wlLh Loxlc convenLlonal approaches Lo cancer, Lhe LreaLmenL lLself can very ofLen klll Lhe paLlenL. C#3: WhaL are Lhe mosL common mlsconcepLlons abouL alLernaLlve cancer LreaLmenLs? A: 1here are many wldespread mlsconcepLlons, buL Lhe Lhree mosL common ones are: 1) 1haL alLernaLlve LreaLmenLs are unsclenLlflc and are developed or admlnlsLered by quacks. l for one would raLher be a 'quack' and a 'medlcal hereLlc' Lhan blndlng myself Lo Lhe pharmaceuLlcal machlne LhaL deems lL necessary Lo desLroy lLs percelved compeLlLlon whlle lL 'owns' Lhe rlghL Lo klll people for money. ln my mlnd, a 'quack' LhaL helps people geL beLLer beaLs a 'respecLed oncologlsL' who kllls people for money anyday! 2) 1haL alLernaLlve LreaLmenLs slmply lnvolve eaLlng organlc foods and Laklng loLs of lmmune- boosLlng supplemenLs from Lhe local healLh food sLore. Cbvlously from Lhls book, you've learned LhaL Lhere ls much more. 3) 1haL, lf alLernaLlve LreaLmenLs really worked, all docLors and cancer cllnlcs would be uslng Lhem. l Lhlnk we've addressed whaL l feel abouL Lhls. C#4: uo any experLs endorse alLernaLlve cancer LreaLmenLs? A: ?es, plenLy! Some alLernaLlve approaches Loday are acLually admlnlsLered by hlghly acclalmed physlclans ln very professlonal seLLlngs. 8uL physlclans ln mosL u.S. sLaLes are noL legally allowed Lo prescrlbe alLernaLlve cancer LreaLmenLs Lo Lhelr paLlenLs. nor are Lhey allowed Lo publlcly endorse any LreaLmenL noL approved by Lhe luA so, Lhe laws ln our counLry have Lhelr hands Lled. Powever, over Lhe decades, numerous books and arLlcles endorslng alLernaLlve cancer LreaLmenLs have been wrlLLen by cerLaln physlclans, nobel rlze-wlnnlng sclenLlsLs, physlclsLs, and oLher respecLed cancer researchers. 1he lellowshlp program LhaL l [usL graduaLed from ls LaughL by leadlng Mu's and cancer researchers from Mu Anderson and ?ale. 8egardless of Lhe crlLlclsm ouL Lhere agalnsL convenLlonal medlcal LreaLmenL, Lhere are plenLy of greaL Mu's who really care abouL Lhelr paLlenLs and are wllllng Lo learn and Lry 'new' Lhlngs because Lhey Lruly deslre Lo see Lhe paLlenL succeed. 1hls ls nC1 a baLLle agalnsL your Mu or your oncologlsL - even lf Lhey are exLremely anLagonlsLlc. 1hls ls a baLLle agalnsL lgnorance and flnanclally blased organlzaLlons LhaL have a PuCL flnanclal lnLeresL ln proLecLlng Lhe sLaLus quo. C#3: Are Lhere any alLernaLlve LreaLmenLs for cancer LhaL are bogus? A: 1here can be unscrupulous pracLlLloners ln any area of medlclne, convenLlonal or alLernaLlve. eople should be very dlscernlng when lL comes Lo chooslng a cancer LreaLmenL approach or pracLlLloner. lL ls lmporLanL Lo be dlllgenL and flnd a parLlcular meLhod, pracLlLloner, or cllnlc LhaL has a genulne poslLlve Lrack record. Whenever posslble, conLacLlng oLher cancer paLlenLs who succeeded wlLh LhaL parLlcular LreaLmenL or docLor ls recommended. l know a number of books LhaL clalm ____ ls Lhe cause of ALL cancers, whaLever Lhey are clalmlng may acLually be Lhe cause of SCML cancer, buL 'all' ls a preLLy sLrong word. 1here are many reasons one 'geLs cancer' and everyone ls dlfferenL, care ls never a 'one slze flLs all' approach. 8e careful of anyone clalmlng Lhe ablllLy Lo Cu8L anyLhlng, noL [usL cancer! l would even add LhaL you should be careful of anyone sLaLlng LhaL Lhey 18LA1 cancer - because Lhls very phllosophy doesn'L make sense. Agaln, one needs Lo lmprove Lhe paLlenL, every aspecL, lf Lhe dlsease ls ever golng Lo be 'cured' by Lhe paLlenL's own body. l uCn'1 18LA1 CAnCL8, l uCn'1 llCP1 CAnCL8, and l suggesL you Lake Lhe same sLance. Work on 'causes', work on achlevlng homeosLasls, work on balanclng Lhe body and l Lhlnk your ouLcome wlll be beLLer! C#6: Why ls lL so lmporLanL for people Lo know abouL alLernaLlve LreaLmenLs for cancer? A: SLaLlsLlcs show LhaL approxlmaLely 1 ln 3 Amerlcans wlll develop llfe-LhreaLenlng cancer some Llme ln Lhelr llfe. (And some researchers belleve Lhls reallLy ls closer Lo 1 ln 2 Amerlcans.) unforLunaLely, Lhe convenLlonal LreaLmenLs for cancer (whlch lnclude surgery, radlaLlon, chemoLherapy, hormone Lherapy, and a handful of oLher recenL drug Lheraples) offer a dlsmally low chance for "real" recovery lf noL coupled wlLh some llfesLyle changes. ConvenLlonal cancer medlclne, on Lhe oLher hand, deflnes "cured" as merely "allve 3 years afLer dlagnosls". 1hus, ln mosL cases, convenLlonal docLors don'L even expecL Lo be able Lo brlng a cancer paLlenL back Lo a normal sLaLe. 1he sad reallLy ls LhaL mosL people wlLh cancer wlll noL survlve Lhelr dlsease lf LreaLed Lhrough convenLlonal medlclne alone. Cn Lhe oLher hand, many people Loday belleve LhaL cerLaln alLernaLlve LreaLmenLs for cancer have hlsLorlcally been much more successful Lhan currenL convenLlonal LreaLmenLs, and sLlll offer beLLer Lrack records for "real" recoverles. lL ls vlLally lmporLanL LhaL anyone deallng wlLh a llfe-LhreaLenlng dlsease be Lold of Lhe MCS1 effecLlve opLlons avallable Lo Lhem - and Lhls musL lnclude llfesLyle changes. C#7: Pow ls "cure" deflned when deallng wlLh cancer? A: ?ou would Lhlnk LhaL Lhe Lerm "cure" would be deflned Lhe same way ln all clrcles. 8uL, as menLloned ln Lhe above answer, LhaL ls noL Lhe case. 1he Amerlcan Cancer SocleLy, Lhe luA, Lhe naLlonal Cancer lnsLlLuLe, and all oLher malnsLream organlzaLlons lnvolved wlLh recordlng or publlshlng cancer sLaLlsLlcs deflne a cancer cure as "allve 3 years afLer dlagnosls." 1hus, lf a cancer paLlenL courageously sLruggles Lhrough deblllLaLlng surgery, chemoLherapy and radlaLlon, and evenLually dles a mlserable deaLh, full of cancer, 3 years and Lwo weeks afLer Lhey were dlagnosed, LhaL person wlll be llsLed ln offlclal sLaLlsLlcs as "cured" slmply because Lhey were allve flve years afLer dlagnosls! 8y uslng Lhls sLrange deflnlLlon of "cure", offlclal cancer cure raLes puL ouL by Lhe Amerlcan Cancer SocleLy and oLher organlzaLlons make convenLlonal medlcal approaches look much more successful Lhan Lhey really are. Pere's a really sad sLaL: 1hey maln reason Lhe medlcal esLabllshmenL ls pushlng for early deLecLlon ls LhaL Lhe chance of Lhe paLlenL llvlng for flve years lncreases and Lhey can boasL of Lhelr LreaLmenL 'cure'. Pow can Lhey be so evll? MosL people wlll dlsbelleve me on Lhls polnL because Lhey [usL cannoL grasp LhaL an esLabllshmenL would operaLe solely Lo manlpulaLe sLaLlsLlcs for flnanclal galn. 1here ls a flLLlng quoLe LhaL sLaLes, l love caplLallsm, buL cerLalnly noL every caplLallsL." ln LruLh, Lhls sLrange re-deflnlng of Lhe Lerm "cure" ls noL only crlmlnal decepLlon, buL lL also, proves LhaL convenLlonal medlclne (really Lhe pharmaceuLlcal machlne LhaL uses docLors llke puppeLs) has such a poor ablllLy Lo brlng abouL real cancer recoverles LhaL Lhey musL resorL Lo Lhls sorL of LacLlc Lo make Lhemselves look beLLer. And Lhls ls only one of many quesLlonable LacLlcs used Lo fudge and manlpulaLe convenLlonal cancer sLaLlsLlcs Lo make Lhem look beLLer and mlslead Lhe publlc. ln Lhe fleld of alLernaLlve Lheraples for cancer, pracLlLloners Lend Lo avold Lhe word "cure" and LreaL" alLogeLher because Lhey wlll geL ln Lrouble wlLh organlzed medlclne lf Lhey clalm Lhey can do elLher. So, Lhey Lend Lo use words llke, "conLrol" cancer, or "long-Lerm recovery raLes". 1he LruLh ls, however, LhaL lf you look lnLo all of Lhe alLernaLlve cancer LreaLmenLs LhaL have been effecLlve of Lhe decades, Lhey hlsLorlcally had greaL Lrack records ln brlnglng abouL "real" cures. 1hls means LhaL when people uslng alLernaLlve cancer LreaLmenLs are referred Lo as cured, Lhey are Lyplcally Lruly cancer-free and no longer sufferlng from Lhe dlsease. l've sLaLed over and over LhaL we do noL LreaL cancer. l legally can'L! My medlcal docLor frlends LhaL l graduaLed wlLh from Lhe lnLegraLlve Cancer 1herapy lellowshlp can'L LreaL cancer elLher! We are all conflned by Lhe luA and sLaLe boards Lo leave cancer LreaLmenL Lo CncologlsLs. 1haL's perfecLly okay wlLh me, l have nC deslre Lo LreaL cancer, lL's fuLlle! l wlll gladly remaln solldly aL my posL Lo polnL people ln Lhe rlghL dlrecLlon. 1here ls llLLle success ln LreaLlng cancer, Lhere ls greaL success ln cleanlng Lhe envlronmenL LhaL allowed lL Lo grow. C#8: lf alLernaLlve LreaLmenLs for cancer are so successful, why aren'L oncologlsLs and cancer cllnlcs recommendlng Lhem? A: MosL convenLlonal docLors and cancer cllnlcs do noL recommend alLernaLlve LreaLmenLs for cancer for a varleLy of reasons. 1he prlmary reason ls LhaL, ln mosL u.S. sLaLes, docLors are noL legally allowed Lo recommend any LreaLmenLs for cancer LhaL Lhe luA has noL approved. Slnce Lhe luA refuses Lo even conslder approvlng any LreaLmenL LhaL does noL brlng blg proflLs Lo Lhe pharmaceuLlcal companles and oLher large lndusLrles Lhey are assoclaLed wlLh, Lhen any LreaLmenL noL approved by Lhe luA ls auLomaLlcally called "alLernaLlve". lL can be a very serlous legal Lransgresslon for mosL docLors lf Lhey Lry Lo recommend an alLernaLlve cancer LreaLmenL, even lf Lhey know LhaL LreaLmenL could glve Lhelr paLlenL Lhe besL posslble chance for recovery. Many hlghly respecLed docLors have Lrled Lo pracLlce alLernaLlve approaches and losL Lhelr medlcal llcenses as a resulL, or were even Lhrown ln [all. 1wo of Lhe mosL llberal sLaLes ln Lhe u.S., where many of Lhe alLernaLlve Lheraples are belng pracLlced Loday, are nevada and Arlzona. numerous physlclans who wlsh Lo pracLlce alLernaLlve cancer medlclne have moved Lo one of Lhese sLaLes. AnoLher reason ls LhaL mosL convenLlonal docLors don'L have an adequaLe undersLandlng of alLernaLlve LreaLmenLs for cancer because Lhey have never been educaLed abouL Lhem and Lhere are vlrLually no references Lo alLernaLlve medlclne ln Lhelr medlcal school Lralnlng or Lhelr medlcal [ournals. 1hese, Loo, are conLrolled by pharmaceuLlcal companles. 1hlngs are changlng Lhough, l currenLly Lraln wlLh many oLher llke-mlnded Mu's wlshlng Lo add alLernaLlve Lheraples Lo Lhelr pracLlces. Cne more lssue LhaL can be problemaLlc ls LhaL some docLors mlghL know abouL alLernaLlve LreaLmenLs buL feel emoLlonally LhreaLened by Lhem. Lspeclally for oncologlsLs, acknowledglng LhaL oLher Lechnlques probably would have worked beLLer for Lhelr Lermlnally lll paLlenLs Lhan Lhe meLhods Lhey have been uslng can be qulLe palnful. lL may be easler for an oncologlsL or oLher Lype of docLor Lo slmply deny Lhls reallLy Lhan Lo acknowledge LhaL many of Lhe paLlenLs he or she LreaLed could have llved raLher Lhan dled. l recenLly had a paLlenL LhaL survlved 3 years afLer dlagnosls and broughL lunch lnLo everyone ln our offlce Lo celebraLe. She had kepL ln a relaLlonshlp wlLh her oncologlsL so she could sLlll recelve regular C1 scans Lo monlLor her progress and vlslLed hlm rlghL before her 3 year annlversary. Pe proceeded Lo Lell her LhaL Lhe oLher paLlenLs who had sLarLed wlLh her (and were ln a supporL group wlLh her) had all dled, she was Lhe lone survlvor! She already knew LhaL lnformaLlon and she was Lhe only one who refused Lhe chemo LreaLmenL and had 'gone an alLernaLe rouLe'. So, when Lhe oncologlsL shared LhaL she was Lhe lone survlvor, she proceeded Lo Lell hlm whaL she had done dlfferenLly Lo achleve such a greaL ouLcome. Surprlslngly, Lhe oncologlsL sLopped her lmmedlaLely saylng LhaL lf she wanLed Lo remaln ln relaLlon wlLh hlm LhaL he dldn'L wanL Lo hear anyLhlng! lL ls uLLerly appalllng! lf you were Lhe docLor LhaL had ALL your paLlenL ulL of your LreaLmenL, would you wanL Lo flgure ouL lf Lhere ls anoLher way!?! lL's SlCk! 1PA1 ls nC1 a docLor, LhaL's a murderer for hlre!

LasLly, many docLors also suffer from Lhe "dlsbellef facLor" so common LhroughouL Lhe publlc. 1hls dlsbellef facLor Lends Lo be expressed by everyday people ln Lhe sLaLemenL, "lf Lhese LreaLmenLs really work, why aren'L all docLors uslng Lhem?" Many docLors may feel Lhe same way and express Lhelr dlsbellef as, "lf Lhese LreaLmenLs really work, why wasn'L l LaughL Lhem ln medlcal school and why aren'L l readlng abouL Lhem ln my medlcal [ournals?" C#9: Why can alLernaLlve LreaLmenLs for cancer have beLLer Lrack records Lhan convenLlonal cancer LreaLmenLs? A: 1o be honesL, noL all do. undersLand, l have my fooL ln alLernaLlve and LradlLlonal Lheraples buL l am noL agalnsL ALL Lypes of chemoLherapy. Some alLernaLlve Lheraples uC have documenLed cure raLes LhaL are beLLer Lhan convenLlonal LreaLmenLs, and oLhers offer mulLlple case sLorles of people who had convenLlonal LreaLmenL fall Lhem and Lhen wenL on Lo use LhaL alLernaLlve approach Lo achleve a compleLe recovery or aL leasL some help. We are never legally speaklng of a cure, we speak of LreaLlng Lhe paLlenL Lo allow Lhe body Lo heal lLself. 1he slmple answer ls LhaL alLernaLlve LreaLmenLs, ln general, deal wlLh Lhe Lrue causes of slckness and wlLh Lhe cancer paLlenL's whole body ln a non-Loxlc way. 1hls can be a much more effecLlve way Lo compleLe rld a person of cancer Lhan convenLlonal medlcal LreaLmenLs, whlch lnvolve Loxlc approaches and only LargeL Lhe "sympLoms" of cancer (Lhe Lumors Lhemselves).

A: l cannoL predlcL Lhe fuLure, buL l would say Lo Lhose people, "uon'L hold your breaLh!" 1he malnsLream medlcal esLabllshmenL has been clalmlng Lo be acLlvely searchlng for a cure slnce Lhe 1940's or so, and Lhey have been predlcLlng a cure rlghL around Lhe corner ever slnce whlle Lhey've successfully squashed real success. 1he problem ls LhaL convenLlonal medlclne has been looklng for a cure ln Lhe wrong places. 1hey're looklng for Lhlngs LhaL can be paLenLed and Lherefore flnanclally markeLed, Lherefore Lhey focus on drugs LhaL are Loxlc Lo Lumors and, slnce Lhese drugs are also Loxlc Lo Lhe resL of Lhe body, lL ls lmposslble Lo use enough of Lhe drug Lo geL rld of every lasL cancer cell ln a paLlenL wlLhouL kllllng Lhem flrsL. lL ls well-known LhaL, ln mosL cases, lf a docLor were Lo prescrlbe enough chemoLherapy or radlaLlon Lo a paLlenL Lo klll every cancer cell ln a person's body, Lhe cancer would be gone buL so would Lhe paLlenL. 1he blggesL problem ls LhaL organlzed medlclne ls governed by Lhe power of Lhe blg pharmaceuLlcal companles. 1he pharmaceuLlcal companles fund mosL of Lhe cancer research belng done, even LhaL performed aL unlverslLles, yeL Lhey wlll only fund Lhe Lype of research LhaL could posslbly resulL ln paLenLed drugs LhaL can brlng Lhem huge proflLs. 1helr goal ls Lo make money, nC1 Lo LesL whaLever works, and sad Lo say, nC1 Lo cure cancer. Slnce Lhe luA ls lnLrlcaLely lnvolved wlLh and conLrolled by Lhe pharmaceuLlcal companles, lL has now become a waLchdog and sLrong arm of 8lg harma, raLher Lhan a proLecLor of Lhe Amerlcan publlc as lL was lnLended Lo be. So, whlle Lhe pharmaceuLlcal lndusLry searches for proflLable "sllver bulleLs" Lo LreaL cancer, Lhey are acLlvely and knowlngly lgnorlng Lhe arsenal of alLernaLlve cancer LreaLmenLs LhaL already exlsL and have been proven effecLlve because Lhey CAn'1 MAkL An? MCnL? l8CM 1PLM. C#12: ls Lhere a "consplracy" Lo suppress alLernaLlve cancer LreaLmenLs? A: "Consplracy" ls probably noL Lhe besL word Lo use here. Money and power are behlnd Lhe very real suppresslon LhaL has been golng on for decades, buL lL may noL be so organlzed as Lo warranL Lhe Lerm "consplracy." 8ehlnd mosL of Lhe suppresslon lles Lhe power of Lhe pharmaceuLlcal companles and Lhelr far-reachlng lnfluence. Some very enllghLenlng books have exposed Lhe documenLed deLalls of how Lhls has happened, lncludlng "World WlLhouL Cancer," by C. Ldward Crlffln, and "1he Cancer lndusLry," by ur. 8alph Moss. We all know LhaL Lhere are blg lndusLrles ln exlsLence Loday LhaL polluLe our alr and waLer. ?eL, LhaL does noL mean Lhose corporaLlons are operaLlng under a "consplracy" Lo polluLe our envlronmenL. 1hey are [usL dolng whaL corporaLlons do besL - proLecLlng Lhelr proflLs. ln Lhe cancer lndusLry as well, corporaLlons proLecL Lhelr proflLs. unforLunaLely, Lhls pursulL can lnvolve unscrupulous meLhods as well as lnfluenclng laws. 8uL lL lnvolves many dlfferenL people ln poslLlons of power ln many dlfferenL organlzaLlons, and probably Lhe beLLer way Lo descrlbe Lhe cancer LreaLmenL suppresslon would be Lo say LhaL varlous people and organlzaLlons are ln "colluslon" Lo keep alLernaLlve approaches LhaL LhreaLen 8lg harma proflLs suppressed. unforLunaLely, Lhe way Lhe whole medlcal approval sysLem ls seL up for LesLlng and accepLlng new LreaLmenLs for cancer also supporLs Lhls suppresslon. 1he process noL only requlres hundreds of mllllons of dollars Lo go Lhrough, buL lL ls only seL up for shorL-Lerm LesLlng of Loxlc drugs. Any approach LhaL does nC1 flL LhaL mold wlll noL be LesLed effecLlvely. WhaL would have happened lf, before alrplanes were developed, all sclenLlflc organlzaLlons had deLermlned LhaL a flylng machlne MuS1 have wlngs LhaL flap llke blrds? Crvllle and Wllbur WrlghL's machlne would noL have flL LhaL mold and would noL have passed Lhe LesLlng LhaL was seL up for flapplng wlng conLrapLlons. We mlghL noL be flylng Lhe frlendly skles Loday lf LhaL had been Lhe case! C#13: lf Lhe malnsLream cancer lndusLry has effecLlvely suppressed alLernaLlve cancer LreaLmenLs before, whaL wlll keep Lhem from conLlnulng Lo do so? A: 1here ls no doubL LhaL Lhey are cerLalnly sLlll Lrylng Lo suppress effecLlve alLernaLlve cancer LreaLmenLs. 8ead Lhe book, "1he 8urzynskl 8reakLhrough," Lo flnd ouL [usL how recenLly Lhe luA has Lrled Lo sLop non-Loxlc anLl-neoplasLon Lherapy for cancer. 8uL l do belleve LhaL Lhe lnLerneL, whlch has only been avallable Lo Lhe publlc ln a wldespread way for a llLLle over a decade, wlll save us. As long as noLhlng can sLop people from sharlng lnformaLlon Lhrough Lhe World Wlde Web, we now have a chance Lo sLop Lhls deadly suppresslon by sharlng lnformaLlon among ourselves! l also Lhlnk LhaL Lhe general publlc ls becomlng more and more ready Lo uLlllze Lhelr power Lo change leglslaLlon and Lo re-clalm Lhelr rlghL Lo medlcal freedom. 1he luA, ln parLlcular, has sLrayed from lLs lnLended role of proLecLlng Lhe consumer publlc from unsafe LreaLmenLs Lo becomlng a "waLchdog" and advocaLe for Lhe pharmaceuLlcal companles. lL ls up Lo us Lo become aware of whaL ls happenlng and Lo change Lhls slLuaLlon. We have Lhe power lf we choose Lo use lL! C#14: lf l wanL Lo use an alLernaLlve cancer LreaLmenL approach, should l sLlll consulL wlLh a convenLlonal oncologlsL flrsL? A: ?es - LhaL's my legal oplnlon, you should always consulL wlLh a quallfled oncologlsL. noL for Lhe purpose of asklng Lhe oncologlsL whaL he or she Lhlnks of Lhe alLernaLlve LreaLmenL you are conslderlng, buL for oLher reasons - l'm noL an CncologlsL. As already menLloned, convenLlonal surgery alone may be necessary for some cases and LhaL mlghL be an aLLracLlve opLlon for cerLaln people. And, ln some cases where a person's cancer ls already very advanced when Lhey are flrsL dlagnosed, someLlmes shorL-Lerm radlaLlon or shorL-Lerm chemoLherapy may be necessary Lo glve Lhe paLlenL Llme for an alLernaLlve approach Lo work. ln consulLlng wlLh a convenLlonal oncologlsL, lL ls also very lmporLanL Lo ask as many quesLlons as posslble. ln ChapLer 21 of Lhe book, "CuLsmarL ?our Cancer," Lhe auLhor presenLs a llsL of lmporLanL quesLlons you can ask Lo clarlfy your chances for recovery uslng Lhe LreaLmenL course your oncologlsL ls recommendlng. 8y dolng so, you are glvlng yourself Lhe besL chance for undersLandlng your opLlons. ln all cases, a comblnaLlon of convenLlonal Anu alLernaLlve LreaLmenL may be your besL cholce. LasL buL noL leasL, esLabllshlng a relaLlonshlp wlLh a convenLlonal docLor ls generally necessary aL some polnL for assesslng your progress. Lven people uslng alLernaLlve approaches need dlagnosLlc LesLs aL varlous lnLervals for Lhe purpose of assesslng how Lhey are dolng or for any relaLed problems LhaL may occur. 1hus, convenLlonal medlcal experLs should always be consulLed. And every cancer paLlenL should be as open Lo evaluaLlng whaL Lhey have Lo offer as Lhey are when lL comes Lo evaluaLlng whaL alLernaLlve medlclne has Lo offer. Powever, Lhe approach you declde Lo use for LreaLlng your cancer ls ?Cu8 declslon. 8y belng as lnformed as posslble, you wlll be glvlng yourself Lhe besL chance for maklng Lhe besL posslble declslon. C#13: Can l use a convenLlonal approach along wlLh an alLernaLlve approach aL Lhe same Llme? A: As menLloned above, usually LhaL ls Lhe besL cholce. ?ou musL do your homework and be as lnformed as posslble. 1hls lnvolves flndlng ouL, as besL you can, whlch approaches wlll offer you Lhe besL chance for recovery and also flndlng ouL whaL all Lhe posslble damaglng slde effecLs of Lhe convenLlonal LreaLmenL mlghL be. ?ou don'L wanL Lo add a convenLlonal approach LhaL mlghL ln lLself LhreaLen your llfe lf you already have an alLernaLlve approach you belleve can save you.
