CANCER "TREATMENT" IS A BIG, BOOMING BUSINESS
A TRUE CURE WOULD END THAT BOOM.
THERE ARE, AND HAVE BEEN CURES, MULTIPLE CURES, FOR CANCER FOR A LONG, LONG TIME.
SO SAY MILLIONS, INCLUDING THOSE CURED, THEIR PHYSICIANS, AND MANY, MANY STUDIES NOT READILY AVAILABLE TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC.
"Without a doubt the most powerful essential strategy I know of to treat cancer is to starve the cells by depriving them of their food source. Unlike your body cells, which can burn carbs or fat for fuel, cancer cells have lost that metabolic flexibility. "
Dr. Otto Warburg was actually given a Nobel Prize over 75 years ago for figuring this out but virtually no oncologist actually uses this information."
WHY?
WHY NOT USE THAT TO CURE?
I WANT TO EXPLORE THE MOST-USED 'ALTERNATIVE' CANCER TREATMENTS WITH YOU, NOT AS A "PRESCRIPTION", NOT AS A SUGGESTION YOU TRY ANY OF THEM, BUT ONLY AS AN EDUCATIONAL LOOK AT 'ALTERNATIVE' APPROACHES TO THIS FRIGHTENING, HORRIFIC, HATEFUL DISEASE.
AS FREQUENT READERS MAY KNOW, THE AUTHOR HERE HAS SURVIVED THREE BOUTS WITH THIS MONSTER.
I'M STILL STANDING, BY GRACE AND MIRACLES AND SOME AWESOME PHYSICIANS WHO KNEW A BETTER WAY THAN CHEMO AND RADIATION, THOUGH ONE DID SUGGEST BOTH.
[THE TEA ROOM DEDICATES THIS QUITE LENGTHY BLOG TO DR. "E.O.", A "DEAR AND GLORIOUS PHYSICIAN", AND A MAN I AM TRUSTING WITH MY LIFE, A MAN UNAFRAID TO SPEAK THE TRUTH.
DANKIE, Geagte Meneer . ]
MILLIONS DIAGNOSED YEARLY...
"Nearly two million Americans are diagnosed with cancer every year—one person out of three will be hit with a cancer diagnosis at some time in their lives, in spite of the massive technological advances over the past half-century.
Western medicine is no closer to finding a "cancer cure" today than they were 50 years ago, while cancer has grown into a worldwide epidemic of staggering proportions.
The statistics speak for themselves:
- In the early 1900s, one in 20 people developed cancer
- In the 1940s, one in 16 people developed cancer
- In the 1970s, it was one in 10
- Today, it's one in three!
The Cancer Machine
"Please understand that cancer is big business.
The cancer industry is spending virtually nothing of its multi-billion dollar resources on effective prevention strategies, such as dietary guidelines, exercise and obesity education.
Instead, it pours its money into treating cancer, not preventing or curing it.
Why would they shoot their cash cow?
If they can keep the well-oiled Cancer Machine running, they will continue to make massive profits on chemotherapy drugs, radiotherapy, diagnostic procedures and surgeries.
The typical cancer patient spends $50,000 fighting the disease.
[TEA ROOM NOTE: AVERAGE COST OF DRUGS MAY BE $50,000, BUT TREATING SIDE EFFECTS, OVERALL WORSENED HEALTH, REPEATED HOSPITAL STAYS, AMBULANCE SERVICES, EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS WHEN THINGS GO WRONG, TENDING TO NEW ILLNESSES OFTEN CAUSED BY CHEMO/RADIATION AND PAYING MANY 'SPECIALISTS' CAN QUICKLY RUN OVER $1 MILLION IN LESS THAN A YEAR.]
Chemotherapy drugs are among the most expensive of all treatments, many ranging from $3,000 to $7,000 for a one-month supply.
If the cancer industry allows a cure, then their patient base goes away. It makes more sense to keep a steady stream of cancer patients alive, but sick and coming back for more."
A DIAGNOSIS OF CANCER CAN MAKE ONE'S BLOOD RUN COLD.
IT'S THE LAST THING ON EARTH ANYONE WANTS TO HEAR, OTHER THAN NEWS OF THE LOSS OF A LOVED ONE.
FEW ARE EVER GIVEN THE FACTS OF THIS DISEASE AND EVEN FEWER ARE EVER MADE AWARE THAT, IN SOME CASES, A CURE HAS BEEN AVAILABLE FOR DECADES, EVEN HUNDREDS TO THOUSANDS OF YEARS.
I'VE NOT BEEN VERY VOCAL ON THIS TOPIC, BUT WAS ENCOURAGED BY "DR. E.O" TODAY AND DECIDED TO MAKE AS MUCH INFORMATION AS I CAN (GIVEN LIMITATIONS) AVAILABLE HERE TO THE THOUSANDS WHO READ THIS BLOG EACH DAY.
IF YOU OR A LOVED ONE IS LIVING WITH CANCER, I HOPE YOU CAN OBLITERATE ALL FEAR OF THIS DISEASE FROM YOUR MIND, AND I HOPE YOU WILL FORBID ALL WITH WHOM YOU HAVE CONTACT TO REACT NEGATIVELY, ALARMINGLY, HYSTERICALLY, OR GRIEVE IN YOUR PRESENCE.
WE DON'T NEED FEAR OR NEGATIVISM.
WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO FOCUS ON A CURE, BE 100% FREE FROM HOPELESSNESS, FEELINGS OF RESIGNING OURSELVES TO OUR FATES, ETC, SO WE CAN CONCENTRATE ON BEING WELL AGAIN.
MAYBE SOME READING THIS HAVE A DIAGNOSIS OF "TERMINAL CANCER".
SO DID I.
THEY WERE WRONG, IN MY CASE.
MAYBE THEY ARE WRONG IN YOURS?
I AM NOT WRITING THIS TO INDUCE "FALSE HOPE" IN "MIRACLE CURES", BUT MERELY TO OFFER EDUCATION, THINGS I LEARNED FROM MY 45-PLUS YEARS' BATTLE WITH THIS THING CALLED CANCER, SHARE WITH YOU FROM MY 4 DECADES-PLUS OF READING AND DILIGENTLY, DEEPLY STUDYING 12 TO 18 HOURS A DAY, SCOURING EVERY CORNER OF THIS WORLD FOR INFORMATION, STUDIES, SUCCESS STORIES, IF YOU WILL, AND BY TRIAL AND ERROR, USING MYSELF AS MY OWN "GUINEA PIG".
[DISCLAIMER: THE TEA ROOM DOES NOT SUGGEST YOU DO OR TRY ANY OF THIS, BUT IS MERELY REPORTING EVENTS, STUDIES, ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD. AS I SAID, THIS AN EDUCATIONAL BLOG, NOTHING MORE.]
I WILL DO SOMETHING I HAVE NEVER DONE BEFORE AND RELATE MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCES WITH CANCER, OR, AS I CALL IT, "BIG C".
YOU MAY SKIP ALL THAT, IF YOU WISH AND SCROLL DOWN TO THE TRIPLE RED ASTERISKS BELOW. ***
"WHEN IN DOUBT, CUT IT OUT!"
MY FIRST CANCER WAS IN 1969, WHILE IN MY EARLY 20's, A RARE ADRENAL CARCINOMA, PUTTING ME IN A CIRCLE OF FEWER THAN 2 DOZEN AMERICAN PEOPLE EVER DIAGNOSED WHILE ALIVE WITH THIS TYPE OF MALIGNANT TUMOR (AT THAT TIME).
CT AND PET SCANS WERE NOT IN USE YET.
WE DID NOT HAVE THE MANY WAYS TO DETECT CANCER THEN THAT WE HAVE NOW.
MY CANCER WAS A MERE SHADOW ON A BARIUM SWALLOW TEST.
MY SURGEON THOUGHT WHAT HE SAW WAS AN ENLARGED SPLEEN...UNTIL HE DID THE ANGIOGRAM...AFTER I'D BEEN PREPPED FOR MY OPERATION.
HE DIDN'T WAKE ME UP TO GET MY PERMISSION, JUST DIVED RIGHT IN AND CUT AND THEN HAD TO ENLARGE THE INCISION TWICE.
BLESS HIM, HE WAS A BRAVE SOUL!
AFTER ALL, THE ANESTHETIC KILLED ME...LITERALLY.
HOW COULD ANYONE KNOW I WAS ALLERGIC TO CERTAIN ANESTHESIAS WHEN I HAD NEVER HAD PRIOR SURGERIES?
BUT HE NEVER GAVE UP.
I AM FOREVER INDEBTED TO DR. J.T.G.
IT WAS, I WAS SHOWN AND TOLD, ABOUT AS BIG AS AN AMERICAN FOOTBALL, BUT CONSIDERABLY HEAVIER, ITS MEASUREMENTS BEING I3.85554 KILOGRAMS (ABOUT 8 AND ONE-HALF POUNDS), 28.233 CM (A BIT OVER 11 INCHES) X 49.335 CM (NOT QUITE 19 AND ONE-HALF INCHES).
MY INCISION RUNS FROM LEFT HIP BONE TO THE BOTTOM OF MY RIB CAGE ON MY RIGHT SIDE, AND I DO MEAN 'SIDE'.
THE REASON FOR THAT LARGE INCISION WAS, ONCE THE SURGEON REALIZED IT WAS NOT AN ENLARGED SPLEEN HE SAW ON 'FLUOROSCOPE' AND X-RAY, HE RECOVERED WELL AND OPERATED SO THAT THE TOTALLY ENCAPSULATED TUMOR COULD BE REMOVED INTACT ALONG WITH THE ENTIRE ADRENAL GLAND, HOPING TO AVOID SPREAD OF CELLS AND METASTASIS BY RUPTURE OF THE MEMBRANOUS CAPSULE.
WAY TO GO, DOC!
[I USED TO TEASE DR. G THAT HE TRULY SAWED ME IN HALF AND KILLED ME ON THE TABLE BUT I LIVED IN SPITE OF HIM.
HE TEASED BACK THAT I WAS THE WORST PATIENT THAT GOOD CATHOLIC HOSPITAL HAD EVER SEEN, AND REMINDED ME THAT THE NUNS DID COME TAKE THE CRUCIFIX DOWN FROM THE WALL IN MY ROOM AND THE 'FATHER' STOPPED COMING INTO MY ROOM TO 'BLESS ME'. - (sheepish grin)- AND IN TINY LETTERS ... Ego excusabo, sincere. Ego eram natibus. Ignosce me.]
I WAS TOLD I'D PROBABLY BEEN BORN WITH IT.
IT WAS A "SLOW-GROWER", THE REASON FOR MY SUBTLE WEIGHT GAIN THOUGH I WAS SOMEWHAT OF A "JOCK", RUNNING 5 TO 8 OR SO MILES EACH DAY, PLAYING BASKETBALL AND RUNNING TRACK EVENTS, BICYCLING ABOUT 6 MILES OUT AND 6 BACK EACH DAY, AND WAS ON A VERY RESTRICTIVE DIET (MOSTLY PROTEIN, MEATS PREPARED VERY RARE.)BODY FAT-WISE, GOING INTO SURGERY, I WAS ESTIMATED TO HAVE 2% OR LESS BODY FAT.
ALL OF THESE STATS ARE RELEVANT TO OUR HEALTH AND OUR "SURVIVABILITY", SO WE MAY COME BACK TO THIS PART AGAIN.
THE PROGNOSIS WAS, "I GOT IT ALL, SEE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, COME BACK IN 1 MONTH, THEN EVERY 3 MONTHS, THEN EVERY 6 MONTHS. IF WE PASS 5 YEARS AND NO RECURRENCE, WE WILL CALL YOU A 'MIRACLE'."
AND THEY DID.
EVERYONE WHO KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT MEDICINE/CANCER USED THAT VERY WORD.
DR. G TOLD ME AT 4 YEARS OUT THAT HE WOULD NEVER HAVE BELIEVED I'D STILL BE ALIVE THAT LONG OR THAT I'D HAVE NO METASTASIS ANYWHERE, AND WE BOTH HAD A GOOD CRY.
THAT HELD UNTIL 1995...ALMOST 30 YEARS CANCER-FREE.
ANOTHER CARCINOMA AND MOFFITT CANCER CENTER IN TAMPA, FLORIDA, RULED THAT WAS A METASTATIC CARCINOMA OF ANOTHER REMOVABLE ORGAN, SO WE CARVED IT OUT INTACT, MALIGNANCIES WITHIN THE EXCISED ORGAN, LOOKED WITH BETTER 'TESTS' FOR THE CULPRIT THAT IT HAD METASTASIZED FROM, SAW NOTHING ELSE, NO LYMPH NODE INVOLVEMENT, DECIDED IT HAD COME FROM THAT OLD LEFT ADRENAL MESS, AND ALL WAS, ONCE AGAIN, WELL...
"WE'LL CELEBRATE ON YOUR 5TH SURGERY ANNIVERSARY," THEY CAUTIONED.
I PASSED THE 5-YEAR MARK, THEN 6, THEN 7...
UNTIL 2003...BLADDER TUMORS, 5 OF THEM...HERE COMES THE MONSTER BACK TO TORMENT.
AND THIS IS WHERE I LEFT TRADITIONAL WESTERN MEDICINE BEHIND.
IN ALL HONESTY, THERE ARE TWO THINGS I REGRET VERY MUCH.
#1- I ALLOWED A NEEDLE ASPIRATION USING CT AS A GUIDE FOR THE PROCEDURE.
MORE RADIATION!
AND THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE NEEDLE DRAGGED CANCEROUS CELLS OUT OF THE TUMOR, RELEASING THEM INTO MY BODY ALONG ITS TRACK AS IT EXITED.
SEE: Risk of tumor cell seeding through biopsy and aspiration
THAT PEER-REVIEWED STUDY STATES:
"...inserting a needle or a knife into a tumor, there is a jeopardy of dislodging a loose tumor cell into either the circulation or into the tissue fluid.
Tumor cells are easier to dislodge due to lower cell-to-cell adhesion.
This theory with the possibility of seeding of tumor cells is supported by several case studies that have shown that after diagnostic biopsy of a tumor, many patients developed cancer at multiple sites and showed the presence of circulating cancer cells in the blood stream on examination. "
SEE WHY I WISH I HADN'T ALLOWED IT?
#2- I DID HAVE ONE ROUND OF RADIATION SINCE WE WERE DEALING WITH 5 SEPARATE TUMORS, ALL PACKED INTO A BLADDER I REALLY WANTED TO KEEP.
AFTER THAT ONE TIME, I BALKED...
I ASSURE YOU THAT I FELT THAT RADIATION DESTROYING ME, THOUGH MY ONCOLOGIST CALLED ME "NUTS".
DID THAT ONE 'SHOT' TRIGGER OTHER CANCEROUS CELLS?
I HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE...
WHEN I WAS TOLD I HAD TO HAVE A "FEW ROUNDS OF CHEMO" AND RADIATION BEFORE ANY SURGERY WAS DONE, I ALMOST SLAPPED THAT DOCTOR.
NO, JUST CUT THE HATEFUL THINGS OUT!
NOT THE BEST WAY TO GO, I WAS TOLD.
MY LIFE, MY BODY, MY DECISION!
IT'S SURGERY FIRST OR FORGET IT!
THE TUMORS WERE, OF COURSE, ALL 5 STILL IN THERE WHEN I WALKED OUT THE DOOR.
I DID NOT GO BACK TO ANY TRADITIONAL PHYSICIAN FOR 7 MONTHS.
I TURNED INSTEAD TO 'PLANTS'.... TRADITIONAL HERBS, KNOWN TO MY ANCESTORS FOR HUNDREDS TO THOUSANDS OF YEARS.
I SAW THE LOCAL "MEDICINE MAN", YES, I DID.
MY GRANDFATHER HAD BEEN ONE OF THOSE HEALERS AND I HAD SEEN TIME AND TIME AGAIN THE RESULTS OF NATURAL PLANT-BASED TREATMENTS.
I DECIDED TO TRY THAT, BUT ONLY FOR, AT MOST, 3 MONTHS, I TOLD MYSELF, AND MY NEW 'DOCTOR', AN EDUCATED FELLOW IN HIS LATE 40s, BUT NO MEDICAL DEGREE WHATSOEVER.
I DID NOT GO LIVE AT HIS HOME FOR MONTHS, BUT MADE FREQUENT TRIPS, AND DID SOMETIMES STAY OVERNIGHT OR SPENT THE ENTIRE WEEKEND NEARBY, WITH HIM IN ATTENDANCE.
NEITHER MY SPOUSE NOR I TOLD ANYONE BECAUSE WE KNEW WHAT WE'D GET FROM FAMILY AND FRIENDS..."QUACK, QUACK, QUACK."
QUACK AWAY, IT WAS, AFTER ALL, MY CHOICE TO MAKE, MY LIFE.
I WAS TAUGHT, MORE THAN 'TREATED'.
WHAT I LEARNED WAS WORTH MORE THAN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, MORE THAN ALL THE GOLD ON EARTH, BUT MY 'DOCTOR' DIDN'T ACCEPT MONEY...JUST NECESSITIES.
IMAGINE THAT!
I WAS REMINDED OF THE OLD APPALACHIAN DOCTORS OF MY CHILDHOOD, TAKING PAYMENTS IN CHICKENS, HAMS, PRODUCE, EGGS, AND/OR BEING TRADED THE CRAFTSMANSHIP OF THE LOCALS FOR HIS MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE AND HIS TREATMENTS, OR CURES.
MANY PEOPLE WERE CURED BACK THEN.
A BIT OVER 7 YEARS LATER, WHEN MY SPOUSE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER, THE INSURANCE ALONE PAID OUT JUST BARELY OVER $1 MILLION.
THAT WAS ABOUT 1/3rd OF WHAT TREATMENT AND HOSPITALIZATIONS AND TRAVEL AND 'SPECIALISTS' FOR EVERYTHING THAT FELL APART FROM THE CANCER 'TREATMENT' COST.
LIKE I'VE SAID HERE MANY TIMES, CANCER IS A BOOMING BUSINESS.
WE EACH CHOOSE HOW WE GET THAT TREATMENT.
I BELIEVE IN PLANTS, IN NATURAL HEALING AND ANCIENT WAYS OF TREATING AND CURING DISEASE.
NOT ALL CAN OR WILL BELIEVE THAT WAY.
I SURVIVED 3 BOUTS WITH THE MONSTER.
MY DEAR 'BETTER HALF' DID NOT SURVIVE ONE ROUND.
[ I WILL POST MY SPOUSE'S EXPERIENCE AT END OF BLOG JUST TO SHOW THE DIFFERENCES IN WHAT WE BOTH DECIDED ON AS TREATMENT, AND TO SHOW YOU A PROCEDURE SOMETIMES OFFERED TO BLADDER CANCER PATIENTS WHO CANNOT VOID BECAUSE OF BLOCKAGES BY THE CANCEROUS MASS. I ALSO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO POST THERE THE TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE OF CACHEXIA IN CANCER PATIENTS.]
MY LIFESTYLE WAS CONSIDERABLY ALTERED, MY BAD CHOICES AND HABITS WERE GENTLY, BUT FIRMLY CORRECTED.
I HAD PROMISED TO DO EVERYTHING EXACTLY AS TOLD AND REBELLED ONLY ONCE, BUT CAME AROUND TO HIS METHODOLOGY ON THAT AND WAS DELIGHTED WITH RESULTS.
DIET IS EVERYTHING...THE BODY'S IMMUNE SYSTEM BEGINS AND ENDS IN THE "GUT".
WE MUST BE CONCERNED WITH WHAT GOES IN THE MOUTH, ON THE SKIN (FOR THAT IS ABSORBED BY THAT LARGEST OF ALL HUMAN ORGANS) AND WITH WHAT WE'RE BREATHING IN.
IS DIET REALLY THAT IMPORTANT?
"The conservative American Cancer Society states that one-third of cancer deaths are linked to poor diet, physical inactivity, and carrying excess weight."
FIRST, WE CHANGED MY DIET COMPLETELY.
COMPLETELY DOESN'T REALLY TELL THE WHOLE TALE.
IT WAS 'BRUTAL', BUT I COMPLIED 100%.
I DRANK ONLY "LIVING WATER" FROM AN ANCIENT ARTESIAN SPRING, AND FRESH JUICES, ALL KINDS OF JUICES, SOME THAT, AS MY GRANDMA MIGHT SAY, WOULD "GAG A MAGGOT".
SOME HAD THE EFFECT OF MAKING ME WISH I COULD JUST GO AHEAD AND DIE RATHER THAN FEEL THAT ILL.
BUT THOSE EFFECTS DISAPPEARED AFTER A FEW DAYS.
ONE OF THE MANY DRINKS GIVEN ME INCLUDED A COMBINATION OF ALL THE INGREDIENTS IN WHAT MOST CALL "ESSIAC TEA" COMBINED WITH WHAT IS KNOWN AS "CHAGA TEA" .
I WAS ALSO NOT FOND OF THE STRYCHNOS NUX VOMICA PREPARATION, BUT IT WAS INCREDIBLE FOR PAINS ALL OVER THE BODY, FOR RELAXING MUSCLES.
I HAD THAT DRINK ONLY A FEW TIMES.
HATED IT, BUT ALSO DEEPLY APPRECIATED ITS PRESENCE.
A REAL FAVORITE WAS A DRINK MADE WITH ELDERBERRIES, EVEN THOUGH I KNEW THEN THAT ELDERBERRIES CONTAIN CYANIDE.
THE SMALL AMOUNTS OF CYANIDE IN SOME FOODS HAVE A GOOD ACTION AGAINST VIRUSES.
SEEMS MY ANCESTORS, WHO DID NOT KNOW A VIRUS FROM A BEAVER PELT, SIMPLY DECIDED IT WAS A GOOD MEDICINE FOR THE STRANGE THING THAT PLAGUED THEM SOMETIMES, ESPECIALLY AFTER THE INFLUX OF SO MANY EUROPEAN VIRUSES.
I AM GRATEFUL THEY DISCOVERED IT.
I HAVE NOT HAD THE FLU OR EVEN A BAD COLD SINCE ADDING ELDERBERRY TINCTURE TO MY HEALTH REGIMEN.
EVERY PLANT NOT WILD THAT WENT INTO MY SYSTEM WAS LOCALLY GROWN, USING SOME SORT OF ANIMAL MANURE ONLY AS FERTILIZER. (I INCLUDE GROUND-UP FISH IN THAT CATEGORY.)
AND EVERY ANIMAL WHOSE MANURE WAS USED WAS 'FREE-RANGE', NEVER FED/INJECTED WITH CHEMICALS OF ANY KIND, NEVER FED OR KEPT LIKE ANIMALS IN A FEEDLOT.
EVERYTHING, ANIMALS, WILD PLANTS, LOCAL PRODUCE WAS GROWN AS IT HAD BEEN GROWN SINCE WAY BEFORE BOATS APPEARED ON THE HORIZON CARRYING THOSE "SETTLERS".
MY HAPPIEST TIMES ON THIS DIET WERE WHEN WILD STRAWBERRIES, BLUEBERRIES, BLACKBERRIES AND CHERRIES WERE IN SEASON AND WHEN THE DANDELIONS FLOURISHED.
FROM THE ROASTED AND GROUND ROOTS TO THE YOUNG TENDER FLOWERS, I LOVE THE TASTE OF DANDELION!
DANDELION ROOT 'TEA' REPLACED COFFEE IN MY LIFE FOR A LONG TIME.
I WAS WARNED NOT TO INGEST EVEN ONE DROP OF ALCOHOL UNLESS ALCOHOL WAS USED IN A 'TINCTURE' OF A PLANT, WHICH WASN'T RARE, BUT WAS VERY SPOTTY.
NO REFINED SUGAR, NATURAL SUGARS WERE IN THE FRUITS I ATE AND EVEN THOSE WERE RESTRICTED TO A HANDFUL A DAY, NO GRAINS, NO MEAT EXCEPT WILD VENISON, AND THAT WAS SEASONAL AS WELL, AND QUITE LIMITED, AND MOUNTAIN TROUT, WHICH WAS ALWAYS AVAILABLE.
THOSE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS HAVE AWESOME POPULATIONS OF TROUT!
CATCHING THEM IS THERAPY IN ITSELF.
MUCH FERMENTED VEGETABLES, A WONDERFUL DISH AKIN TO THE ASIAN KIM-CHI WAS AND STILL IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE, BUT THOSE 7-BEAN FERMENTED 'SALADS' WERE NICE AS WELL.
MUCH RAW FOODS.
MUCH, MUCH, MUCH JUICES.
VERY MUCH DISLIKED THE CHAPARRAL TEA.
THE BBC DID A PIECE ON CHAPARRAL BACK IN AUGUST OF 2004.
I'M VERY GLAD TO SEE IT IS STILL AVAILABLE TO READ ONLINE!
"The
researchers tested a refined extract taken from chaparral called M4N.
They
injected it into the tumours of eight patients with advanced head and neck
cancer that had not responded to other forms of treatment.
The
trial was primarily designed to test whether the extract was safe. The
results were encouraging - patients seemed to tolerate it well, and there was
no evidence of the serious liver damage previously associated with chaparral
use.
However,
the study also produced some evidence that the extract had begun to shrink
the tumours.
The
researchers now plan a larger study aimed at showing whether the drug really
does work." I GREW ACCUSTOMED TO THE PAU D'ARCO, CALLED LAPACHO BY MY 'DOCTOR'.
AND AT A LATER TIME , SLOAN KETTERING CANCER CENTER ADMITTED AND PUBLISHED THAT THIS SOUTH AMERICAN PLANT DOES HAVE ANTI-CANCER ACTIVITY, BUT STATES "IT HAS NOT BEEN PROVEN IN HUMANS".
"In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate antibacterial (5) (6), antifungal (7), antipsoriatic (8), immunomodulatory (9) (10), anti-inflammatory (11) (12), antidepressant (13), anticoagulant (10) (14) and anticancer (1) (2) (3) (4) (15) (16) properties. Human studies are needed to validate these effects."
THAT'S SIMPLY NOT TRUE.
"Pau d’Arco has been used throughout history by Indio tribes of South America, as well as the ancient Incas and Aztecs.
The bark is dried, shredded, and then boiled to produce a tea known as Lapacho.
Pau d’Arco’s medicinal qualities are derived from its main active ingredients, namely lapachol, quercetin, and other flavonoids.
According to medical reports published in South American periodicals, Pau d’Arco tea or tincture concoctions have had beneficial effects for cancer victims — including complete remission of cancerous tumors and alleviation of chemotherapy’s adverse effects."
SEVERAL HOSPITALS IN SOUTH AND CENTRAL AMERICA AND MEXICO WHICH TREAT WITH NOTHING BUT PAU D'ARCO AND DIET CHANGES OFFERED THEIR RESULTS....AMERICAN CANCER RESEARCHERS, DOCTORS, HOSPITALS WEREN'T INTERESTED.
"QUACKERY", THEY RULED.
CHANCES ARE SLIM TO NONE THAT ANY CANCER CURE WILL BE ADMITTED TO BY ANY MAJOR CANCER CENTER, EVER, WHETHER PLANT-BASED OR NOT.
WHY?
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ KA-CHING $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
DITTO FOR ANY SUBSTANCE THAT WILL DEFINITELY PROTECT US FROM HAVING CANCER IN THE FIRST PLACE.
I DID NOT GROW TO LIKE THE BLACKSEED OIL.
BUT I STILL USE IT BECAUSE IT REALLY IS "THE PLANT THAT CURES EVERYTHING BUT DEATH"..
GRADUALLY, FRESH GOAT'S MILK WAS ADDED TO MY DIET AND I FOUND BLISS IN THE 'SORT OF YOGURT' MADE WITH THAT DELICIOUS RAW MILK.
ADDED TO THE 'YOGURT' WERE BOTH CHIA AND GOLDEN FLAX SEEDS, ALWAYS FRESHLY GROUND AND MADE TO YIELD UP THEIR OILS.
ADDED TO THAT WAS A PEPPER CALLED ONLY 'BUSH PEQUIN'.
TURNED OUT IT WAS FROM TEXAS AND GROWS WILD DOWN NEAR THE BORDER THERE BUT OTHER VARIETIES GROW IN WARMER STATES IN AMERICA.
ALSO ADDED WAS FRESHLY GROUND TURMERIC AND SOME GLOBBY, GREEN, SLIMY BLOB THAT MAY HAVE BEEN BLUE-GREEN ALGAE?
I ASKED, BUT ONLY GOT A SMILE AS REPLY, AND A SHAKING OF HIS HEAD.
THERE WAS FASTING NOW AND THEN, SO MY BODY COULD REST.
ON FASTING DAYS WE SIMPLY SAT AND TALKED OR WALKED TO THE SPRING TO FILL WATER CONTAINERS OR SAT ON ROCKS BESIDE THE CREEKS AND RIVERS AND WATCHED THE TROUT GO BY... OR MADE THINGS, SIMPLE THINGS.
MAYBE HAVING COMPANIONSHIP WHILE FASTING MAKES IT EASIER, AND ALSO MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO "CHEAT"?
READY FOR THE 'WEIRD' PART?
MY 'HEALER' SANG, OR 'INTONED', IF YOU WILL, WITH HIS FACE DIRECTLY OVER MY ABDOMINAL AREA, WHILE PLACING FIRE-HEATED SPECIFIC TYPES OF STONES ON A FOLDED HIDE DIRECTLY OVER MY BLADDER AREA.
THIS ODD TREATMENT OF HEAT AND SONG WAS USUALLY OF ABOUT AN HOUR'S DURATION, THE STONES EXCHANGED FREQUENTLY FOR WARM ONES, BUT THE SINGING NEVER CEASED.
I ACCUSTOMED MYSELF TO IT.
NOW AND THEN HE INDUCED FEVER IN MY BODY WITH A VERY HORRIBLE-TASTING DRINK.
I REMEMBERED MY GRANDFATHER DOING THAT A FEW TIMES FOR OTHERS.
A NOTE HERE: SUCH PLANTS AS THE ONE THAT INDUCED FEVER OR HAD WHAT MAY BE CONSIDERED ANY NEGATIVE EFFECTS ON MY SYSTEM WERE NEVER REVEALED BY NAME.
INSTEAD, I WAS SHOWN THE PLANT, TOLD TO FEEL FREE TO AVOID IT.
I BELIEVE THE REASON FOR THAT GOES BACK CENTURIES, MAYBE THOUSANDS OF YEARS.
ASIDE FROM MY DIET, I WAS ADVISED TO GET AS MUCH SUN AS I COULD TOLERATE WITHOUT BURNING EACH DAY, TO BE OUTSIDE, IN SHADE IF NECESSARY, JUST TO HAVE FRESH AIR.
I WAS ADVISED NOT TO USE AEROSOLS, OR OTHER COMMON SPRAYS, OR THE USUAL HOUSEHOLD CLEANERS, SOAPS, DETERGENTS, AND TO STAY AWAY FROM SMOKERS.
I ASKED ABOUT THE TOBACCO USED BY SOME WITHIN THE TRIBES WHO USE TOBACCO IN WHAT MOST CALL "RITUAL".
THAT IS NOT CHEMICALLY TREATED, 'CIGARETTE' TOBACCO, BUT A VERY FEW WILD PLANTS (SOME IN CULTIVATION AMONG MANY TRIBES NOW) CALLED TOBACCO.
I DIDN'T TELL HIM THAT I'D ONCE STOLEN SOME FROM MY GRANDFATHER'S POUCH HE KEPT IN THE FRONT POCKET OF HIS BIB OVERALLS.
I WAS FOUND OUT BECAUSE IT MADE ME VERY, VERY SICK AND EVERYONE SEEMS TO NOTICE PEOPLE WHO ARE PROJECTILE VOMITING.
DURING THE FIRST MONTH, I FELT THE CHANGE.
I FELT LIFE RETURNING.
SURE, SURE, THAT COULD HAVE BEEN 'PSYCHOSOMATIC', AN ILLUSION, WHATEVER. BUT I KNEW THINGS WERE BETTER.
FOUR MONTHS TOTAL
ON WE WENT FOR ANOTHER 3 MONTHS, AS IT TURNED OUT, BUT THE LAST MONTH WAS SPENT MOSTLY BY MY DEMONSTRATING TO HIM MY ABILITY TO CARRY ON AND DO THINGS THE RIGHT WAY, EVERY TIME.
LIKE I HAD WITH MY GRANDFATHER, WE WALKED THE MOUNTAIN PATHS SO I COULD LEARN WHICH PLANTS WERE MY 'HEALERS', KNOW THEM BY SIGHT, LEARN HOW TO TAKE THEM, USE THEM IN A GOOD WAY.
I LEARNED THEIR SEASONS OF GROWTH, THE PEAK TIMES TO GATHER, WHAT TO PASS OVER (WHEN PLANTS WERE NOT 'PERFECT'), AND HOW TO CONFIDENTLY PREPARE MY OWN INDIVIDUALIZED 'PROTOCOLS' TO KEEP ME HEALTHY, HOW MUCH WAS 'ENOUGH', HOW MUCH WAS 'TOO MUCH'.
AGAIN AND AGAIN HE REMINDED ME NOT TO GATHER MORE THAN I WOULD NEED FOR A DAY, MAYBE TWO DAYS FOR SPECIFIC PLANTS.
GATHER THIS ONE WITH DEW ON IT, THAT ONE AT MIDDAY, THAT ONE BY FLOWER ONLY, ANOTHER, JUST THE TOP LEAVES.
ONE OF THE BEST FINDS WAS ALWAYS POKE 'WEED'.
POKE IS A VERY CONTROVERSIAL PLANT, SOME SAYING IT IS DANGEROUSLY TOXIC, OTHERS SAYING IT'S AN INCREDIBLE HEALER FROM ROOT TO BERRIES.
IT IS LOADED WITH VITAMIN A, AND, YES, CAN BE FATALLY TOXIC IF ONE CONSUMES TOO MUCH, AS AN UNFORTUNATE NEIGHBOR BACK IN TEXAS DID.
NOT REALIZING THE WARNING SIGNS WHEN HE ATE TOO MUCH IN ONE SITTING, HE DIDN'T CALL FOR HELP AND WAS 'DOA' AT HOSPITAL AFTER RELATIVES FOUND HIM UNCONSCIOUS, A HUGE POT OF 'POKE SALAD' HALF GONE AND ANOTHER BIG POT EMPTY, BOTH STILL SITTING ON HIS TABLE.
A RELATIVE TOLD US HE WAS SO HAPPY WHEN THE POKE CAME UP, HAVING LONGED FOR 'FRESH GREENS' ALL THROUGH THE LONG WINTER.
HE JUST WAS NOT AWARE THAT VITAMIN A, IN LARGE QUANTITIES, WHETHER INGESTED LONG-TERM OR SHORT-TERM, CAN KILL, BLESS HIM.
BE AWARE OF EVERYTHING.
RESEARCH EVERYTHING.
ASK QUESTIONS, CHECK AND DOUBLE-CHECK THE ANSWERS YOU GET.
I FREELY ADMIT THAT I DOUBLE-CHECKED ALL I WAS TOLD BY MY 'HEALER'.
I NEVER TOLD HIM THAT, BUT IT'S THE TRUTH.
I WAITED 2 MONTHS AND 17 DAYS AFTER I LEFT HIS CARE BEFORE I WENT BACK TO MY VERY IRATE PHYSICIAN.
HE ASSUMED I WAS THERE TO SUBMIT TO SURGERY AFTER CHEMO/RADIATION.
AFTER A 'TESTY' CONVERSATION, I MERELY ASKED HIM TO PLEASE HAVE ANOTHER LOOK BEFORE WE WENT AHEAD WITH THINGS.
I DID NOT TELL HIM WHAT I'D BEEN DOING FOR ALMOST 7 MONTHS.
HE AGREED THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY...OFF TO PET SCAN.
I SUBMITTED MYSELF TO THAT BECAUSE I'D TAKEN GREAT PRECAUTIONS FOR OVER 2 MONTHS TO BUILD MY IMMUNE SYSTEM INTO A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH AND WAS WELL PREPARED TO USE HERBALS AFTER THE SCAN.
NOTHING "LIT UP", NO SIGNS OF 5 TUMORS.
NOT ONE CANCEROUS CELL WAS FOUND.
THEN I TOLD HIM WHY.
THEN I TOLD HIM GOODBYE.
13 YEARS LATER, HERE I AM.
***[THIS IS WHERE ALL WHO WISHED TO SKIP MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCES CAN START READING.]
~ ONE OF THE MOST PROMISING 'ALTERNATIVES' TO CHEMO/RADIATION IS BY HYPERTHERMIA.
TODAY, THE NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE PRAISES THE TREATMENT OF CANCER BY HYPERTHERMIA BUT WILL NOT, WILL NOT USE IT ROUTINELY, NOR MENTION IT IN NORMAL CLINICAL VISITS...OR DID NOT LAST I CHECKED.
KNOWN FOR YEARS, THE ARTICLE STATES.
YES...
"We have known for years that hyperthermia was a promising treatment against cancer in the laboratory," said Barry N. Wilcox of Texas Oncology. "Thanks to many dedicated scientists and clinicians, we now have very good clinical data and an excellent delivery device to offer our patients.
Texas Oncology, along with US Oncology, is very excited to bring this technology to our patients and our network of doctors."
THANK YOU, UNITED KINGDOM CANCER RESEARCHERS!
CBS, ON THEIR PROGRAM 60 MINUTES, LIKED THE IDEA OF SOUND-WAVE TREATMENT...ANOTHER WAY TO HEAT AND DESTROY CANCER CELLS AND ONLY CANCER CELLS.
Originally broadcast on April 13, 2008. It was updated on July 16, 2008.
LESLEY STAHL WAS THE CBS REPORTER FOR THAT EPISODE.
"What if we told you that a guy with no background in science or medicine - not even a college degree - has come up with what may be one of the most promising breakthroughs in cancer research in years?
Today, his invention is in the laboratories of two major research centers - the University of Pittsburgh and M.D. Anderson, where Dr. Steven Curley, a liver cancer surgeon, is testing it.
"This technology may allow us to treat just about any kind of cancer you can imagine," Dr. Curley told Stahl. "I've gotta tell you, in 20 years of research this is the most exciting thing that I've encountered."
They've already shown that the Kanzius machine can heat nanoparticles and cook cancer to death in animals.
Dr. Curley with rabbits, and in Pittsburgh, Dr. David Geller demonstrated to 60 Minutes how he used nanoparticles, made from gold, to kill liver cancer cells grown in rats.
"Now what we're going to do is inject the nanoparticles," Dr. Geller explained. "Directly into the tumor."
"What we're seeing here is an example of a gold nanoparticle, in this case, with an antibody on it, so the antibody would be the targeting molecule," Curley explained.
"You can see it is tiny compared to a normal red blood cell. Just imagine all of these, billions of these gold nanoparticles circulating through the body and then once they get into the blood vessels going to the tumor, these nanoparticles would go through and bind on the surface of the cell."
"The cancer cell. It wouldn't bind on a normal cell," Stahl observed.
"That's right, they would bind only to the cancer cell. Now here's the nanoparticles in the cell, here comes John's radio frequency treatment. The cells get hot and they're destroyed," Curley said. "
THAT'S 4 PAGES OF VERY GOOD READING, EDUCATIONAL, HOPEFUL.
THE TEA ROOM IS HAPPILY SURPRISED THAT THOSE WHO MAKE BILLIONS OFF NON-CURES, OFF CHEMO, RADIATION AND PILLS AND LIQUID MEDICINES HAVEN'T HIRED A HIT ON THOSE DOING THE TWO RESEARCHES AND TREATMENTS LISTED ABOVE.
LET ME REPEAT WHAT I INITIALLY STATED...
A CURE FOR CANCER WOULD LIKELY BANKRUPT BOTH THE MEDICAL PROFESSION AND THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES.
CANCER "TREATMENT"IS A BIG, BOOMING BUSINESS
A TRUE CURE WOULD END THAT BOOM.
~ANTINEOPLASTONS
A PHYSICIAN WHOSE CAREER I HAVE FOLLOWED CLOSELY, AS I CONSIDER HIM THE MOST PERSECUTED MEDICAL DOCTOR ALIVE TODAY, IS DR. STANISLAW BURYZYNSKI.
Antineoplastons are chemical compounds that are found normally in urine and blood. For use in medical research, antineoplastons can be made from chemicals in a laboratory.
Antineoplaston therapy was developed by Dr. S. R. Burzynski, who proposed the use of antineoplastons as a possible cancer treatment in 1976.
Antineoplastons are not approved by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration for the prevention or treatment of any disease.
AFTER OVER 40 YEARS, THE DAMNABLE "CANCER MACHINE" HAS NOT SEEN FIT TO DO ONE SINGLE CLINICAL TRIAL ON THIS VERY IMPRESSIVE TREATMENT OPTION!
NOT ONE!
WHY?BECAUSE IT CURES CANCERS?
In order to use the Burzynski antineoplaston protocol, ALL patients, even children, must first have at least initial rounds of chemotherapy and radiation.
THIS IS NOT ONLY CRUEL, UNJUST AND A FAILURE OF MEDICAL ETHICS, BUT ALSO A GROSS VIOLATION OF AMERICAN CITIZENS' CONSTITUTIONAL AND HUMAN RIGHTS.
THE REAL REASON THE CURSED AGENCIES THAT CONTROL CANCER TREATMENTS IN THE U.S. MANDATE SUCH A HEINOUS THING IS SO THE ANTINEOPLASTONS THERAPY CAN NEVER BE PROVEN TO BE THE CAUSE OF CURES.
THEY CAN ALWAYS SAY IT WAS CHEMO AND/OR RADIATION THAT CURED PATIENTS, IF THEY CAN FORCE PATIENTS TO GO THROUGH THAT BEFORE GOING TO THE CLINIC.
I know this well because my spouse was a successful applicant into this program at the clinic because of the months-long chemo/radiation sessions we'd gone through.
Had travel been possible, we would have been there with bells on!
THIS IS NOT ONLY CRUEL, UNJUST AND A FAILURE OF MEDICAL ETHICS, BUT ALSO A GROSS VIOLATION OF AMERICAN CITIZENS' CONSTITUTIONAL AND HUMAN RIGHTS.
THE REAL REASON THE CURSED AGENCIES THAT CONTROL CANCER TREATMENTS IN THE U.S. MANDATE SUCH A HEINOUS THING IS SO THE ANTINEOPLASTONS THERAPY CAN NEVER BE PROVEN TO BE THE CAUSE OF CURES.
THEY CAN ALWAYS SAY IT WAS CHEMO AND/OR RADIATION THAT CURED PATIENTS, IF THEY CAN FORCE PATIENTS TO GO THROUGH THAT BEFORE GOING TO THE CLINIC.
I know this well because my spouse was a successful applicant into this program at the clinic because of the months-long chemo/radiation sessions we'd gone through.

"The Burzynski clinic (in Houston, Texas) has been mercilessly attacked by the FDA, National Cancer Institute, and every possible Texas medical authority, ad nauseum.
This persecution has been going on for more than a decade!
[ACTUALLY, IT'S ONGOING FOR MORE THAN TWO DECADES! THE AUTHOR OF THAT ARTICLE SHOULD HAVE RESEARCHED THIS MORE THOROUGHLY...LAWSUITS TO STOP HIS THERAPY FOR OVER TWO DECADES, FIRST LAWSUIT CAME IN THE MID-1990s...]
These “people” do not want cancer to be cured because that would cut into their profits.
The pharmaceutical industry has been secretly controlling and/or funding much of this persecution.
See this article:
The Media and Burzynski
To view a magnificent documentary about the persecution of Dr. Burzynski see this website:
http://www.burzynskimovie.com
He has authored and co-authored more than 300 scientific publications, including presentations and collaborations with investigators at the University of Kurume Medical School in Japan, NCI, the Medical College of Georgia, and the Imperial College of Science and Technology of London.
He is a member of the American Association of Cancer Research (AACR), the Society for Neuroscience, the Society for Neuro-oncology, the Royal Medical Association (U.K.), and the Academy of Medical Ethics.
Even the FDA did not deny in court that Burzynski’s treatments worked, they just tried to shut him down for shipping medications over state and international lines.
The FDA seized 12,000 patient records from Burzynski’s office.
They ended up holding them for more than seven years, not allowing the doctor to see his own patient files.
This is illegal.

Mainstream medicine (allopathic) won’t dare compare numbers with Burzynksi and publish them, knowing people would run away from oncology institutes and straight to the [Burezynski Clinic].
Remember, CDC only keeps statistics on “cancer survival” for five years.
The CDC won’t keep any records of survival rate past those five years because they know it can all go down hill quickly, [ESPECIALLY] without proper nutrition education.
PATIENTS TREATED WITH CHEMO/RADIATION DO NOT HAVE AS HIGH A SURVIVAL RATE AS MANY WHO DECIDE ON CERTAIN ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS, BUT SOME DO WELL.
AGAIN, EACH HUMAN HAS A RIGHT TO PERSONAL CHOICE.
TO DENY US THAT IS CRIMINAL, A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY!
Burzynski has parents who are testifying [BEFORE CONGRESS BY THE HUNDREDS, REPEATEDLY] about him saving THEIR children now. "
[OTHER PARENTS ARE THERE BEGGING FOR THE FDA TO ALLOW THEIR CHILDREN TO BE TREATED BY BURZYNSKI WITHOUT HAVING TO GO THROUGH CHEMO/RADIATION.
ONLY A HEARTLESS, UNETHICAL MONSTER WOULD DENY CHILDREN THEIR ONE LAST HOPE!]
All ending in NO FAULT, the FDA’s first four Federal Grand Juries that spanned 10 years, couldn’t indict Burzynski. Maybe that was because he wasn’t doing anything wrong.
Part II of “Cancer is Serious Business” features interviews with board-certified oncologists, surgeons and neurosurgeons, who witnessed patients leave their care, soon to return in great health after opting for the Burzynski Clinic."
LET ME ADD THIS...
THE CLINIC IS INDEED VERY EXPENSIVE AND, JUST LIKE ALL OTHER TREATMENTS, BURZYNSKI'S DOES NOT CURE EVERYONE.
SOME PATIENTS DO HAVE SERIOUS NEGATIVE REACTIONS TO THAT TREATMENT, BUT MANY MORE PATIENTS SUFFER TERRIBLY AND DIE FROM CHEMO AND RADIATION.
ALL OF US SHOULD BE LEFT ALONE TO DEAL WITH OUR CANCERS AS WE SEE FIT.
IT'S OUR LIVES, SO OUR CHOICES SHOULD COME FIRST.
~ IMMUNOTHERAPY...USING A PATIENT'S OWN CELLS AND BODY TO CURE CANCER
FROM FORBES, APRIL, 2015:
"The story of a woman cured of melanoma after only one treatment... published as a case report this morning in the New England Journal of Medicine, alongside a 142-patient study that tested the combination of Opdivo and Yervoy against Yervoy alone.
The results show that the anonymous woman’s case was anything but a fluke, as the combination of the two drugs had unprecedented cancer-fighting potency, but also caused toxicity:
50% of patients had side effects that were severe or life-threatening.
But an amazing 22% of patients – 16 of them – had what’s called a complete response. As with Chapman’s patient, all their cancer seemed to melt away.
“To me it’s a really graphic demonstration that the immune system is sitting there, waiting,” says Jedd Wolchok, Director, Ludwig Collaborative Laboratory at Memorial Sloan Kettering and lead author of the new study. “And there are immune cells which are fully prepared to get rid of these tumors. But they are being held in check.”
These new drugs release the body’s own weapons: killer white blood cells called T cells. And that approach is one of several bringing a huge amount of excitement to the field of cancer research, one that can be palpably felt here at the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research in Philadelphia, where researchers are unveiling advances large and small.
They are priming the immune system not only with drugs but also with genetically engineered cells and viruses. And they are using powerful genetic sequencing technologies not only to classify tumors and pick drugs, but to create blood tests that will allow doctors to monitor cancer in real time, catching it early and knowing rapidly which medicines will prove effective."
REALLY?
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT BURZYNSKI DID.
DID THEY STEAL THIS FROM HIS RESEARCH SINCE 1976?
50% of patients had side effects that were severe or life-threatening?
THE FDA DID NOT ALLOW BURZYNSKI THAT HIGH A RATE!
THEY WANTED TO SHUT HIM DOWN FOR ONE TOXIC REACTION!
MAYBE HE SHOULD ALLOW BRISTOL-MYERS-SQUIBB TO PRODUCE HIS IMMUNOTHERAPY MEDICINE.
22% RESPONDED WELL TO THE MAINSTREAM PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY'S MEDS?
IN ONE COMPARISON, BURZYNSKI COULD HAVE SHOWN A 92% GOOD RESPONSE, EVEN A GREAT RESPONSE TO HIS MEDICINE.
BUT IMMUNOTHERAPY DOES LOOK PROMISING.
IF WE DON'T LOOK AT COST...
WALL STREET IS SURE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE OLD 'KA-CHING!'
The combination of immune-boosting and genetic tools, they argue, could in 20 years make the GLOBAL market for cancer treatment hit half a trillion dollars a year.
HALF A TRILLION EVERY YEAR!
TALK ABOUT PROFITS!
That could, in part, be the wishful thinking of Wall Streeters who don’t want the current biotech boom (the Nasdaq iShares Biotechnology Index is up 116% in two years) to end.
In fact, part of the worry about all these new technologies is their cost: the combination of Opdivo and Yervoy could have a wholesale cost of $270,000 if the patient stays on Opdivo for a full year.
How we’re going to pay for all this innovation remains a big question. Other immune therapies that use a patient’s own genetically modified cells could cost even more."
AND THE MAINSTREAM BOYS SAID BURZYNSKI, WITH A HIGHER CURE RATE, WAS RIPPING PATIENTS OFF BY CHARGING $100,000 FOR A FULL ROUND OF HIS DRUG?
HYPOCRITES!!!
OTHER "ALTERNATIVE" TREATMENTS
[PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS MERELY A LIST, NOT A SUGGESTION FOR ANYONE TO USE ANY OF THESE, BUT ONLY TO MAKE ALL AWARE THEY EXIST AND THAT SOME HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO HAVE VERY POSITIVE EFFECTS.]
THE FAMOUS MAYO CLINIC OFFERS JUST TWO GENERALIZED PAGES ON ALTERNATIVE CANCER TREATMENTS AND THE CLINIC STATES:
"Alternative cancer treatments may not play a direct role in curing your cancer, but they may help you cope with signs and symptoms caused by cancer and cancer treatments. Common signs and symptoms such as anxiety, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, pain, difficulty sleeping, and stress may be lessened by alternative treatments.
Integrating the best of evidence-based complementary and alternative cancer treatments with the treatments you receive from your doctor may help relieve many of the symptoms associated with cancer and its treatment.
Discuss all of your options with your doctor and together you can determine which strategies might work for you and which are likely to have no benefit."
THEY THEN LIST AROMATHERAPY, ACUPUNCTURE, YOGA, MUSIC THERAPY, TAI-CHI, MEDITATION, MASSAGE....
WHAT?
WHY NOT LIST THE ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS WITH A HISTORY OF HEALING CANCERS?
WHY DANCE AROUND THE ISSUE?
THERE ARE TREATMENTS OUT THERE THAT ARE SAVING LIVES WHEN ALL OTHER HOPE WAS LOST!
TELL THE WORLD!
GIVE PATIENTS AN OPTION, GIVE THEM AN EDUCATION, LET THEM HAVE A REAL CHOICE!
~ THE GERSON THERAPY
Developed by Dr. Max Gerson in the 1920s, this therapy is focused on the concept that you have the power to heal yourself, and it uses non-toxic methods, including organic foods, juicing, detoxification and supplements, to activate this healing potential.
As stated by the non-profit Gerson Institute:
"The Gerson® Therapy is a natural treatment that activates the body's extraordinary ability to heal itself through an organic, plant-based diet, raw juices, coffee enemas and natural supplements.The Gerson Research Organization maintains a collection of reports documenting the research behind the Gerson Therapy as well as the role of diet on cancer, and you can hear anecdotes from patients who have improved using the therapy in the video above, as well as read case studies here.
With its whole-body approach to healing, the Gerson Therapy naturally reactivates your body's magnificent ability to heal itself - with no damaging side effects.
This powerful, natural treatment boosts the body's own immune system to heal cancer, arthritis, heart disease, allergies, and many other degenerative diseases."
Many of the success stories include people whose conventional doctors gave no hope for recovery, who were able to overcome their disease against all odds using not toxic cancer drugs but natural fruits and vegetables.
The system is not touted by the Institute as a miracle cure for everyone, and even the Gerson Institute itself states that "No treatment works for everyone, every time" … but most conventional physicians offer only ONE route for cancer treatment -- drugs, radiation and surgery -- while ignoring or discounting alternative options such as this.
REPEATING: "NO TREATMENT WORKS FOR EVERYONE, EVERY TIME"!
PLEASE, BURN THAT INTO YOUR MEMORY BANKS.
ANYONE WHO HAS EVER TRIED "ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS" WILL LIKELY TELL YOU IT TOOK 2 OR 3 DIFFERENT TRIALS OF DIFFERENT TREATMENTS FOR THEM TO FIND THE "RIGHT" ONE FOR THEIR SYSTEM.
~ THE BUDWIG PROTOCOL
EACH DAY, EVERY DAY, I BEGIN WITH THIS, WITH ONLY SLIGHT VARIATIONS NOW AND THEN AS I FEEL THE NEED TO ALTER IT IN ANY WAY.
VISIT THE WEBSITE ACCESSIBLE BY THIS LINK FOR THE INGREDIENTS OF THIS ALTERNATIVE TREATMENT.
"Along with the instructions to learn how to start preparing the Budwig Muesli in your home today, you will also [find] suggestions to help you follow the Budwig Diet along with clear outlines of what food is acceptable and what food to avoid.
Please bear in mind though that a diet should always be somewhat personalized according to one’s conditions, symptoms and tolerances. This is not a food plan.
People all over the world, with different available ingredients according to their season and region are following the guidelines of the Budwig diet.
Here are some foods that many are not sure of, but they are accepted on the Budwig diet.
- Stevia, raw non-pasteurized honey, Xylitol (from Birch trees), dates, figs, berry and fruit juices serve as sweeteners.
- Herbs in their natural form (pure, nothing added)
- All nuts (raw unroasted) are fine except peanuts
- All seeds, especially sunflower seeds are very complete and filling
- Raw unprocessed cocoa, shredded (unsweetened coconut)
- Cup of black tea is accepted (coffee beans are toxic and not recommended)
- Any flour is permissible as long as it’s 100% whole grain.
Corn is best to avoid because of mold/fungus and genetic manipulation - 2 or 3 slices of health food store pickles (no preservatives! – read label!)
- Freezing cottage cheese /Quark as well as fruits and vegetables is ok.
- VERY IMPORTANT: The flaxseed oil must always be kept in the
refrigerator. It will keep for 12 months in the freezer.
Arrange to purchase as direct as possible from a manufacturer (like Barlean’s) and when it arrives put it right away in the refrigerator.
Or arrange with the local health shop to keep a supply in the refrigerator for you. - Drink purified water.
[ I DRINK FROM AN ARTESIAN SPRING ONLY.]
- NO hydrogenated oils, NO trans-fats
- NO animal fats, NO pork
- NO seafood (lobsters, clams, shrimp, all fish with a hard shell)
- White regular pasta as well as white bread.
- NO ice cream or dairy products (other than the cottage cheese)
- NO white sugar, molasses, maple syrup or preservatives.
- NO processed foods (NO store bought pastries)
- NO Soy products (unless fermented or used for 2 or 3 weeks at the beginning if you cannot tolerate the cottage cheese)
- Avoid pesticides and chemicals, even those in household products & cosmetics.
- NO microwave, NO Teflon or aluminium cooking ware or aluminium foil.
Dr. Budwig warned against using her protocol in conjunction with other therapies that could go against the benefits of her formula.
Oxygen therapies, Laetrile (Vitamin B17 injections), Vitamin C infusions should not be combined with the program."

~ ESSIAC TEA
ALREADY MENTIONED IN MY PERSONAL ACCOUNTING OF MY EXPERIENCE, BUT WORTHY OF A NOTE HERE THAT THERE IS BUT ONE, JUST ONE AUTHENTIC RECIPE FOR THIS TEA.
YEARS AGO, I SAW ONLINE WHAT WAS SAID TO BE PACKETS OF THE PRE-MIXED HERBS USED TO MAKE THIS TEA.
OUT OF MERE CURIOSITY, I ORDERED ONE PACKET.
ENRAGED BY WHAT I FOUND, I CAMPAIGNED TO HAVE THAT LISTING REMOVED.
IT WAS NOT THE ORIGINAL FORMULA!

[I WOULD NEVER, EVER STORE THIS TEA IN ANYTHING BUT AMBER GLASS BOTTLES.]
~ CHAGA TEA
[TEA ROOM NOTE: CHAGA IS NOT A TRUE MUSHROOM. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY PEOPLE CALL IT A MUSHROOM. IT IS A BRACKET FUNGUS, Piptoporus Betulinus also known as Kanbatake]
Research done based on white mice proved that the Polysaccharides in the mushroom are [able] to curb the advancement of Ehrlich solid cancers by 90%. They were also able to restrict the advancement of Sarcoma 180 by the same percentage. (Ohtsukaet al, 1973).
Although relatively unheard of in mainstream media, the chaga mushroom has been used in folk medicine for generations. Research has shown chaga to be extremely effective in protecting cellular DNA from damaging free radicals. It also has anti-tumor and immune stimulating benefits.
Chaga mushroom is a fungus that grows on birch and other hardwood trees. The variety that is found on birch is believed to be the most potent because of its high concentration of betulinic acid which is toxic to cancer cells.
HERE IS WHERE WESTERN MEDICINE FAILS SO MISERABLY... OUR PHYSICIANS ARE TAUGHT TO TREAT IN SPECIFIC WAYS, BUT IN GENERAL, TREAT ALL PATIENTS BASICALLY IN THE SAME MANNER WITHOUT MUCH CONSIDERATION OF ALL OUR MANY DIFFERENCES.
THEY ARE TAUGHT MEDICINE, AS IT WERE, BUT NOT CONSTANTLY REMINDED THAT EVERY SYSTEM IS DIFFERENT AND RESPONDS DIFFERENTLY TO EVERYTHING.
WHAT WORKS FINE FOR ONE WILL NOT WORK THAT SAME WAY FOR EVERY PATIENT THEY SEE.
NOR ARE WESTERN PHYSICIANS TAUGHT THE INTERRELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN HUMAN BODY SYSTEMS IN THE COMPLETE HEALING PROCESS, HOW EACH HAS CERTAIN EFFECTS ON OTHERS, MAKING IT ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY TO TREAT THE WHOLE BODY AT THE SAME TIME.
MANY EASTERN AND AFRICAN AND OTHER 'WHOLE-BODY-HEALING" TRAINED MEDICAL DOCTORS DO UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF BODY SYSTEM INTERACTIONS.
THERE IS A ROOT, A CORE TO DISEASE, BUT THAT CORE MAY INVOLVE NEEDFUL REPAIR OF SEVERAL OR ALL BODY ORGANS, ALL FUNCTIONING BODY SYSTEMS.
IF ONE 'LINK' IN THIS LONG CHAIN OF HUMAN BODY SYSTEMS IS OVERLOOKED, LEFT UNATTENDED TO, THE CURE CANNOT AND WILL NOT BE COMPLETED, BUT WE WILL WIND UP ON A TREADMILL OF REPEATED AND REPEATED DOCTOR VISITS BECAUSE WE WILL NOT BE HEALED, MERELY "TREATED".
WE SAY A DOCTOR HAS A "PRACTICE", THAT HE OR SHE IS A "PRACTICING" PHYSICIAN, BUT PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT, DOESN'T IT?
IF WE PRACTICE CORRECTLY AND DILIGENTLY AND GLADLY TO THE POINT OF PERFECTION OF AN ART... OR A SCIENCE...THEN MEDICINE BECOMES A PROPER TOOL TO DELIVER CURES.
AS MANY KNOW WHO READ HERE OFTEN, THE AUTHOR RETIRED FROM 'MEDICINE' AFTER ALMOST 3 LONG DECADES.
FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS OF THAT CAREER, I WATCHED A GROUP OF ASIAN PHYSICIANS, 'NEIGHBORS' IN THE MEDICAL COMPLEX OF BUILDINGS, HEAL THOUSANDS OF PATIENTS, PATIENTS WHO CAME FOR HEALING AND GOT JUST THAT.
THE HEALING PROCESS TOOK LONGER FOR SOME, BUT THERE WERE NO REPEATS FOR THE SAME DISEASE OR ILLNESS... IF THEY WENT FOR HEALING, HEALING WAS OBTAINED.
MEANWHILE, ON OUR SIDE OF THAT MEDICAL COMPLEX, OUR SICKEST PATIENTS WERE NOT HEALED, JUST REPEATEDLY AND CONTINUOUSLY HAD THIS OR THAT SYMPTOM "TREATED" FOR YEARS...
SOME COMMON AILMENTS LIKE RESPIRATORY OR SINUS INFECTIONS, AN EARACHE OR CONSTIPATION, PERHAPS, WERE COMPLETELY CURED, BUT NOT HEART PATIENTS, DIABETICS, MIGRAINE SUFFERERS, ARTHRITICS, WHAT ARE TERMED THE "CHRONICALLY ILL".
IT WAS FRUSTRATING TO COME TO THE FULL KNOWLEDGE THAT WE WERE NOT IN THE BUSINESS OF HEALING, BUT OF HANDING OUT CHEMICALS TO EITHER MASK OR ALLEVIATE SYMPTOMS FOR A SHORT TIME, ONLY TO HAVE SOMETHING 'NEW' SHOW UP IN PATIENTS WHO WERE MERELY TREATED FOR SYMPTOMS, NOT TREATED BY ADDRESSING THEIR WHOLE BODY, ALL SYSTEMS, UNTIL WE FOUND THE ROOT CAUSE AND AFFECTED A TRUE CURE.
HONESTLY, I CAN SAY WE AT LEAST SEEMED TO BE 'DISCOURAGED' FROM WHAT WAS TERMED "OVERTHINKING THE ISSUE", OR "OVER-DIAGNOSING" BY ORDERING TESTS ON SYSTEMS THAT ONLY SEEMED UNRELATED TO THE MAJOR COMPLAINT.
WHY SUGGEST GENE STUDIES ON A PATIENT WITH, SAY, IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME (IBS) OR CROHN'S DISEASE?
WHY SUGGEST ANYTHING BUT "THE USUAL"?
TELL A PATIENT THAT SOME NATURAL HERB WAS JUST AS GOOD OR BETTER THAN A CHEMICAL WRAPPED IN A PILL?
HERESY!
BLASPHEMY!
THOU SHALT NOT DISCUSS "ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS" WITH ANY PATIENT.
HOLISTIC MEDICINE IS QUACKERY!
NATURAL REMEDIES ARE A MYTH!
PRESCRIBE A NEW CHEMICAL TO ALLEVIATE THE BURDENSOME SIDE EFFECTS OF THE PREVIOUSLY PRESCRIBED PILL.
"PRACTICE" MEDICINE, NO CURES ALLOWED!
FOR PHYSICIANS LIKE MOST OF THE ONES I'VE HAD, THOSE WHO DON'T ALWAYS DO THINGS THE WAY "MODERN MEDICINE" MANDATES, WHO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX AND PUT PATIENTS FIRST, MEN LIKE DR. E.O., THANK YOU!
I REALIZE YOU WHO DO "BUCK THE SYSTEM" RISK YOUR MEDICAL LICENSES, BUT THAT YOU DO THAT FOR YOUR PATIENTS SHOULD BE HIGHLY COMMENDED.
PLEASE, NEVER STOP PUTTING PATIENTS FIRST!
FOR THOSE M.D.s WHO PUT PROFIT FIRST, WHOSE CLINICS AND OFFICES ARE MERELY PROCESSING PLANTS, WHERE PATIENTS ARE A NUMBER OR A FIGURE ON BILLING SHEETS, I MUST ASK THAT YOU, ALL OF YOU, GO TO HELL!
I WATCHED OVER THE YEARS AS THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES SUBTLY, BUT EFFECTIVELY, BEGAN DICTATING WHAT WE WERE TO ACCEPT AS "NORMAL VALUES" IN HUMAN TESTING BY WHAT THEY DECIDED WAS NORMAL.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE AMERICAN DOCTORS WOULD KNOWINGLY GO ALONG WITH CHANGING THE "NORMS" OF TESTS BASED ON NOTHING MORE THAN A PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY'S SO-CALLED "RESEARCH".
THAT MEANT THE PATIENTS WHO JUST YESTERDAY SHOWED NO NEED FOR DRUGS, LIKE STATINS, FOR EXAMPLE, TO REDUCE CHOLESTEROL LEVELS, A CLASS OF DRUGS KNOWN TO CAUSE DEATH IN SOME, WOULD, THE VERY NEXT DAY, BE DIAGNOSED WITH "DANGEROUSLY HIGH LEVELS OF CHOLESTEROL" AND BE PLACED ON THE VERY STATIN DRUGS THAT MOST DOCTORS WHOM I KNEW WOULD NEVER TAKE THEMSELVES!
THE "HIGH NORM" OF 190 mg OF LDL, DOWN FROM 240 mg, WAS REPORTED WHEN IT OCCURRED IN 2013 BY MAJOR NEWS MEDIA HERE IN THE U.S. AS WELL AS ABROAD.
MANY, LIKE CNN, WERE SHOCKED.
"The new guidelines could double the amount of people on medication to lower their cholesterol, experts say.
"This
is an enormous shift in policy as it relates to who should be treated
for high levels of cholesterol," said Dr. Steven Nissen, chief of
cardiovascular medicine at the Cleveland Clinic.
Among the four questions to ask to
determine risks:
-Do you have heart disease?
-Do you have heart disease?
-Do you have diabetes (Type 1
or 2)?
-Do you have a bad cholesterol level (LDL) more than 190?
-And is your 10-year risk of a heart attack greater than 7.5%?
-And is your 10-year risk of a heart attack greater than 7.5%?
According to the new guidelines, if you answered yes to any of those four questions, you should be on a statin.
Period.
New drugs could drop cholesterol to extreme lows.
Dr. Sharon Horesh Bergquist, an assistant professor of medicine at Emory University, [STATED] in an e-mail:
"We
tend to focus on 'quick fix' answers such as a pill ... whereas the
risk reduction from lifestyle changes, such (as) exercise three-four
days a week, reduces risk nearly double to that from any one of the
medication interventions."
Aside from the financial aspects of medicating 35 million more Americans, using statins in a much broader population has been controversial.
Some people, such as cancer expert Dr.
David Agus, advocate giving everyone older than 45 a statin, due both to
cholesterol-lowering properties and potential benefit in reducing
cancer.
Others say that with the potential side effects from statin use -- muscle pains and soreness, a potential moderate increase in liver disease and a risk for developing Type 2 diabetes -- they should be used with care."
THAT ARTICLE NEGLECTED TO REPORT THE GROWING NUMBER OF HEART ATTACKS IN STATIN USERS.
NO ONE ever really explained why they had picked a 7.5% risk of a heart attack over ten years as a cut-off, nor could I find any real explanation in the guidelines.
THAT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE THERE IS NO SANE, RATIONAL EXPLANATION.
IT'S ALL B.S.
Statins can increase the risk of heart attacks
"The use of statin drugs—and the adverse affects of these "cholesterol-lowering" pharmaceuticals—is epidemic in the U.S. An estimated 13 million people are taking these drugs and unknowingly suffering the consequences, while the formation and accumulation of cholesterol is merely a symptom, not the problem."
SAME THING HAPPENED TO DIABETES DIAGNOSIS.
THE 'NORMAL VALUES' WERE CHANGED SO THAT MORE PATIENTS WERE DIAGNOSED AS DIABETIC....UNNECESSARILY.
BASICALLY, THE SAME THING HAPPENED IN THE FIELD OF CANCER TREATMENT, BUT HAPPENED EARLIER THAN 2013.
SOME OF THE 'TESTS', THE SEARCH FOR CANCER IN A HUMAN BODY, CAN AND DO, THEMSELVES, CAUSE CANCER!
THE ADVENT OF MAMMOGRAPHY SCREENING
"In the 1960s, radiologists performed mammography exams using general purpose X-ray tubes and no compression. They captured the imaging onto direct-exposure films, similar to chest X-rays.
In the next decade, mammography advanced significantly with the introduction of screen-film mammography, which made imaging faster, required lower radiation dose, and provided greatest contrast.
After numerous quality issues were uncovered, a series of Congressional hearings were dedicated to mammography, resulting in the Mammography Quality Standards Act of 1992, imposing uniform standards nationwide."
THAT ARTICLE IS TERRIBLY MISLEADING, PLUS POORLY WRITTEN AS I HAD TO CORRECT SPELLING MORE THAN ONCE TO POST THAT BRIEF QUOTE.
IT COMPLETELY NEGLECTS STUDIES THAT HAVE PROVEN MAMMOGRAPHY, IN AND OF ITSELF, CAN AND HAS INDUCED CANCER IN PATIENTS WHO HAVE THEM.
The New England Journal of Medicine
published a shocking analysis of the past 30 years of breast screening
in the US, finding that 1.3 million women were overdiagnosed and
overtreated for breast cancer – euphemisms for misdiagnosed and mistreated.
Now, a new study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, finds that those women who follow the American Cancer Society's guidelines
for the early detection of breast cancer, namely, annual screening for
women 40 or older, are not only receiving no additional protection
against aggressive breast cancer, but are experiencing greater harm...."
I
ASSURE YOU THAT SONOGRAPHY, 'ULTRASOUND', CAN AND HAS DETECTED BREAST
'LUMPS' JUST AS WELL AS OR BETTER THAN TODAY'S MAMMOGRAPHY SCREENING
WHICH USES IONIZING RADIATION, EVEN IN WOMEN WITH VERY DENSE BREAST
TISSUE, AND 3-D OR 4-D SONOGRAPHY IS EVEN BETTER.IN FACT, WOMEN WHO SHOW A 'POSITIVE' IN MAMMOGRAM ARE QUITE OFTEN SENT THEN TO ULTRASOUND AND THEN TO BIOPSY!
From a peer-reviewed study:
"Conclusions
In
this initial reader study, no significant difference in ROC performance
was found with the addition of 3D-AUS to DBT.
However, a trend to an improved discrimination of malignancy was observed when adding 3D-AUS. Radiologists’ confidence also improved with DBT/3DAUS compared to DBT alone."
However, a trend to an improved discrimination of malignancy was observed when adding 3D-AUS. Radiologists’ confidence also improved with DBT/3DAUS compared to DBT alone."
ULTRASOUND IS THE LESS EXPENSIVE OF THE TWO CHOICES FOR LOOKING FOR BREAST CANCER.
A COMPARISON OF THE TWO TYPES CAN BE FOUND <HERE>.
DID YOUR PHYSICIAN TELL YOU THIS?
"Another "invisible" problem is the fact that the so-called "low-energy" radiation wavelengths used in breast mammography are far more carcinogenic than "high energy" waves to which they are compared.
This means that x-ray mammography is planting the seeds of future radiation-induced breast cancer into millions of women, all in the name of "prevention" and "awareness."
The time has come for folks to look deeper into the true causes of cancer, as well as the research indicating that natural breast cancer solutions (many of which are empirically-confirmed) abound."
SO WHY BOTHER WITH RADIATION?
THINK.
WHY USE RADIATION WHEN ULTRASOUND, DETECTS AS WELL OR BETTER? ONLY ONE REASON.... $$$$$$$$$PROFITS$$$$$$$$.
MAMMOGRAPHY CREATES TOO MANY FALSE POSITIVES.
"48% of those who had annual mammograms had at least one false-positive reading during a 10-year period. But among those who were screened every other year, only 29% had a false-positive result.
And among women between the ages of 75 and 89 with preexisting health problems, 48.4% of those screened every year had at least one false-positive reading during a 10-year span, compared with only 27.4% of those who had less frequent tests."
That LA Times article went on to estimate that if all American women between 66-89 had annual mammograms instead of biannual ones, this would result in 3.86 million more false-positives and 1.15 million more recommendations for biopsies."
$$$ KA-CHING, KA-CHING! $$$
"THE CANCER GAME", NOW PLAYING AT A CLINIC AND HOSPITAL NEAR YOU!
HOW MANY PHYSICIANS REVEAL THESE KNOWN FACTS TO WOMEN?
HAS YOURS?
DID YOU RESEARCH THIS?
WE MUST RESEARCH EVERYTHING FOR OURSELVES TO FIND THE TRUTH!
The Problem with Conventional Cancer Treatment
"Unfortunately, the leading cancer treatments in the United States are notoriously toxic and come with devastating, including lethal side effects.
Conventional medicine is so desperate to give the illusion of fighting the good fight that many of these drugs are used despite the fact that they're not really doing much to prolong or improve the quality of life of those diagnosed with cancer.
The best-selling (and extremely expensive) cancer drug Avastin, for example, was recently phased out as a treatment for metastatic breast cancer after studies concluded its benefits were outweighed by its dangerous side effects.
Treating a disease that is in large part caused by toxins with toxins seems ignorant at best.
Cancer is, by and large, mostly a man-made disease, the tragic result of humans veering too far off course and avoiding health-sustaining diets and activities, while embracing a highly unnatural sedentary, stress-filled lifestyle with exposure to excess chemicals around every corner.
Among the primary culprits fueling our cancer epidemic are [thought to be]:
- Pesticide- and other chemical exposures
- Wireless technologies, dirty electricity, and medical diagnostic radiation exposure
- Processed and artificial foods (plus the chemicals in the packaging)
- Pharmaceutical drugs
- Lack of sunshine exposure and use of sunscreens
- Obesity, stress, and poor sleeping habits"
The Tea Room author disagrees with the above assessment in the following ways:
The genetic factor is real.
There may be gene damage, i.e. inherited anomalies, faults in our DNA/RNA, and some of these are likely caused by some or one of the above listed causes, but some of those genetic defects cannot be explained by some of the things listed above....
When, on rare occasions, we can obtain extensive family history and hear that someone's great-great grandpa had an affliction similar or identical to the patient's, this must say to us that diet alone, obesity alone, wireless technology, dirty electricity, pharmaceutical drugs or poor sleeping habits did not affect someone born in the late 1800s or even in the first decade or so of the 1900s.
I can only HOPE that, while I yet live, ANYONE will reveal to us just how much what is called "normal background radiation levels", and certain airborne chemicals and ingested chemicals from food and water, damage our human DNA. Will ANYONE ever tell us the complete truth of how a cascade effect can occur and has occurred that triggers cancer, that may signal cancer to grow because of "old" chemicals in our environment, and that CONTINUOUS radiation we are all told is so harmless.
"British researchers have found the earliest known case of human metastatic cancer in the skeleton of a young man who died around 1200 B.C."
4,500 year old bones of Siberian man reveal he died of cancer.
The earliest known descriptions of cancer appear in seven papyri, discovered and deciphered late in the 19th century, providing the first direct knowledge of ancient Egyptian medical practice.
Two of them, known as the "Edwin Smith" and "George Ebers" papyri, contain descriptions of cancer written around 1600 B.C., and are believed to date from sources as early as 2500 B.C.
Hippocrates (460 BC – 370 BC) described MANY kinds of cancer, referring to them with the Greek word carcinos (crab or crayfish), among others, from which we have the term "carcinogenic".

ALL these were well before the modern technological age, before the idiotic scientists began playing "Make a Bomb to Kill the Whole World", before Genetically Modified foods and seeds, before modern chemicals, before lousy fast-foods and processed foods, before today's white flour, sugar or cigarette tobacco, or belching smoke stacks, or chemical and radioactive pollution of massive areas on our planet.
WHAT THEN CAUSED THOSE CANCERS, THOSE VERY ANCIENT CANCERS?
WHAT WAS "BACK THERE" 2,000 OR 4,000 YEARS AGO THAT CAUSED THOSE CANCERS?
AND SINCE THOSE CANCERS DID OCCUR FAR BACK IN TIME, THE GENE POOLS OF THOSE CANCEROUS INDIVIDUALS HAVE GROWN AND GROWN.
WHATEVER DEFECT, FLAW, ANOMALY, INJURY TO THE GENETIC CODE WAS PRESENT IN THOSE INDIVIDUALS MUST BE YET PRESENT IN THEIR OFFSPRING, THEIR VERY MANY DESCENDANTS.
I CAN THINK OF BUT TWO THINGS LISTED ABOVE THAT WERE PRESENT SO LONG AGO:
1- LOW-LEVEL, "NATURAL" RADIATION
AND
2- CERTAIN CHEMICAL ELEMENTS, LIKE LEAD, MERCURY, CYANIDE, ARSENIC, THE 'LOWLY' SALT OF THE CASTOR BEAN (WE CALL IT RICIN), REGIONAL TOXINS LIKE BATRACHOTOXIN FROM 'POISON DART FROGS', EXTRACTED AND USED BY INDIGENOUS PEOPLE FOR CENTURIES IN HUNTING.
(Batrachotoxin is the most powerful naturally occurring neurotoxin with a dose equivalent to just 2 grains of table salt being enough to kill an adult human.)
So, you see, most of the things listed by the Mercola article above as possible cancer-causers may well be valid, but cannot explain why some types of cancer are commonly found in generation after generation of some families that we can trace back at least 100 years.
ALSO, WHY DO HAPPY, LAID BACK, THIN, NON-SMOKING, NON-DRINKING PEOPLE WHO LIVE VERY HEALTHY LIFESTYLES, GET PLENTY OF REST/SLEEP AND ADHERE TO ALL THE THINGS LISTED STILL GET CANCERS?
BUT THERE IS ALSO THIS QUESTION:
HOW IS IT THAT A PERSON FROM A HEALTHY FAMILY WITH NO HISTORY OF CANCER IN A SINGLE MEMBER CAN BE DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER, AND YET A PERSON WHO COMES FROM A FAMILY WITH A HISTORY OF MANY CANCERS IN EACH GENERATION NEVER GETS THAT DIAGNOSIS, NEVER SHOWS ANY SIGN OF CANCER?
HOW CAN SEVERAL PEOPLE WORKING IN THE SAME BUILDING, DOING THE SAME THING, ALL EXPOSED TO SOME TYPE OF KNOWN CARCINOGEN HAVE JUST ONE OF THEIR NUMBER ACQUIRE CANCER THAT CAN BE LINKED TO THAT SPECIFIC CARCINOGEN?
WHY ARE HUMAN FETUSES SO SUSCEPTIBLE TO IONIZING RADIATION THAT THEY ARE BORN WITH CANCER OR DEFECTS FROM THAT IN UTERO EXPOSURE, WHILE THE MOTHER IS UNAFFECTED?
SO MANY, MANY QUESTIONS!
SO FEW ANSWERS.
OTHER CANCER FIGHTERS WE SHOULD LOOK DEEPLY INTO...
~ MARIJUANA, ESPECIALLY ITS OILS.
WE KNOW WHAT A HELP SMOKING OR CONSUMING THIS PLANT HAS BEEN TOCANCER PATIENTS NEEDING PAIN MANAGEMENT HELP...IT'S AMAZINGLY GOOD FOR THAT, BUT WHAT ABOUT RESEARCH TO SEE IF IT REALLY CURES CANCERS AS THE NATIVE AMERICANS AND OTHER CULTURES SAY IT DOES?
~ THOSE LISTED IN THE ARTICLE FOUND <HERE> THAT I HAVE NOT LISTED BECAUSE HIS ARTICLE IS SUFFICIENT.
THOUGH I DO NOT ALWAYS AGREE WITH THAT AUTHOR, HE HAS MY RESPECT FOR THE WAY HE HAS FOUGHT TO MAKE THE TRUTH AND FACTS AVAILABLE TO PATIENTS.
~ TURMERIC, TURMERIC, TURMERIC!
Turmeric Extract Strikes To The Root Cause of Cancer
Science Confirms Turmeric As Effective As 14 Drugs ...
~ Ginger: 10000x Stronger Than Chemo
~ FOR SUPER-NUTRIENTS, BUILDING IMMUNE SYSTEMS, ASTAXANTHIN AND SPIRULINA/CHORELLA.
ONE CAN SURVIVE ON JUST BLUE-GREEN ALGAES FOR QUITE SOME TIME!
PLEASE, DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH, NEVER JUST READ HERE AND TAKE MY WORD FOR ANYTHING!
PROVE THINGS TO YOURSELF BY DIGGING INTO THINGS, EVERYTHING.
THE TEA ROOM WISHES YOU ALL THE BEST OF HEALTH, PEACE, AND ENOUGH OF ALL GOOD THINGS.

~ CACHEXIA, A TERRIBLE THING SOMETIMES CALLED 'THE FINAL ILLNESS',
HOW CACHEXIA ROBS THE APPETITE AND LEAVES A SKELETON WHERE ONCE WAS A ROBUST INDIVIDUAL.
MY SPOUSE WAS AN EXECEUTIVE CHEF FOR ALMOST 32 YEARS, LOVED TO COOK, LOVED ITALIAN AND MEXICAN CUISINE THE MOST.
FOR MONTHS, THAT APPETITE WAS UNCHANGED, WITH SOME WEIGHT LOSS, BUT BY PLANNED DIET, NOT BECAUSE WE WEREN'T EATING.
THEN, IN THE LAST MONTH, CACHEXIA.
I'M TOLD THERE ARE "NEW" TREATMENTS FOR CACHEXIA.
I HOPE THEY WORK.
"Loss of appetite appears in many patients with cancer, which is not only frequent, but also associated with poor prognosis and reduced quality of life.
The origin of appetite loss has been deemed multifactorial, and a recent study failed to show a genetic association of appetite loss in patients with cancer.22
However, overexpression of proinflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor, or interferon-γ, as well as macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1/growth differentiation factor 15 (MIC-1/GDF-15) appear to be involved.23 and 24
Activation of these factors has effects on peripheral (lipolysis, proteolysis, insulin resistance) as well as on central pathways (hypothalamic appetite regulation).23 and 25
Conclusions
Muscle
wasting and cachexia remain great challenges in clinical practice.
Clinical trials in this field remain small, and most are undertaken in
oncology patients. Much research has focused on appetite stimulation
(mostly using megestrol acetate), anti-inflammatory pathways, and
anabolics. Ghrelin has shown some potential in clinical trials as has
enobosarm. Results of the POWER trial with enobosarm, one of the few
large-scale trials to improve muscle mass and function in patients with
advanced cancer, are eagerly awaited.
In addition, results of the ACT-ONE trial using the anabolic/catabolic transforming agent espindolol have shown promising results."
CACHEXIA HAS BEEN SEEN AND RECOGNIZED FOR DECADES.
WHY HAS NO RESEARCH MADE MORE PROGRESS, FOUND A WAY TO STOP THIS HORROR?
THERE HAS TO BE HELP FOR THOSE WHO EXPERIENCE THIS "FINAL DISEASE"!

GRADUALLY, EVEN THE SMELL OF FOOD CAUSED BOUTS OF TERRIBLE NAUSEA AND VOMITING.WE TRIED TO CHANGE THE SUDDEN INABILITY TO EAT AND KEEP FOOD DOWN BY EVERY METHOD KNOWN, A FEW WORKED FOR DAYS, MAYBE A WEEK, THEN BACK TO THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF EATING.
DECLINED A GASTRIC TUBE FOR FEEDING, TOO MANY TUBES ALREADY, BUT DID GET NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT BY IV.
COULDN'T EVEN KEEP JUICES DOWN, NOR THE FAVORITE PEANUT BUTTER SHAKE.
SOMETIMES, EVEN TAKING ORAL MEDICATIONS RESULTED IN A LENGTHY BOUT OF NAUSEA.
ABOUT THOSE PAIN MEDS...
FOR MY SPOUSE, AND DOZENS OF OTHERS WE TALKED TO IN THE COURSE OF THAT "TREATMENT", THE PAIN MEDS SO NECESSARY TO MANY CANCER PATIENTS CREATED FECAL IMPACTIONS, INTESTINAL BLOCKAGES, NECESSITATING AMBULANCE RUNS TO CLEAR THOSE IN HOSPITAL MORE THAN ONCE.
THEY ARE A BLESSING, IN A WAY, BUT ALSO, INVARIABLY AND ULTIMATELY, A CURSE.
NOT A CANDIDATE FOR ANY SURGERY REQUIRING GENERAL ANESTHESIA, NOR FOR DIALYSIS, AS KIDNEYS WERE BOTH FUNCTIONAL IN THE BEGINNING AND THE CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE AND DIABETES PRESENTED OTHER SETS OF PROBLEMS, WE WERE OFFERED MINIMAL HOPE..
WITH THE BLADDER'S FUNCTION SHUT DOWN BY THE CANCER, UNABLE TO URINATE, UNABLE TO TOLERATE A "NORMAL" CATHETER WITHOUT PROFUSE BLEEDING AND DISCOMFORT, AND WITH CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE RULING OUT AN EXTENSIVE SURGERY TO REMOVE EVEN PART OF THE CANCER BLOCKING THE URETERS, WE WERE OFFERED, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE OPTION OF A DOUBLE NEPHROSTOMY.
I DID NOT AGREE, BUT WAS OVERRULED.
WELL, AFTER ALL, I HAD MADE WHAT SEEMED TO BE A "LUNATIC" DECISION FOR MY OWN BLADDER CANCER.EACH HUMAN BEING MAKES THEIR OWN CHOICES AS A HUMAN RIGHT.
HOWEVER, LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT THAT BARBARIC PROCEDURE LOOKS LIKE...
A BANDAGE CALLED TEGADERM IS APPLIED OVER THE ENTRY SITE(S) TO KEEP OUT EVERYTHING, FROM WATER OF A SHOWER TO BACTERIA, SUPPOSEDLY. REMOVING THOSE ALWAYS HURT. THE SKIN GETS SO FRAGILE UNDERNEATH.
THE PATIENT IS MOST USUALLY GIVEN ONLY A MILD SEDATIVE BY MOUTH OR IV, AND A LOCAL ANESTHETIC IS APPLIED FOR THE PROCEDURE, DONE FACE-DOWN ON A SPECIALIZED X-RAY TABLE SO THE TECHNICIAN CAN WATCH ONGOING IMAGING AND PLACE THE TUBE IN THE KIDNEY CORRECTLY. THERE IS A 'BULB' THAT IS ACTIVATED INSIDE THE KIDNEY TO ANCHOR THE TUBE SO IT CANNOT BE YANKED OUT BY THE PATIENT'S DAILY ACTIVITY.
WE FOUND A BETTER WAY TO SUPPORT THOSE BAGS, BUT DESPITE THE MOST CAREFUL HANDLING IN EMPTYING/REPLACING BAGS, FLUSHING THEM WITH SALINE SOLUTION, WE KEPT SEEING KIDNEY INFECTIONS, BACTERIA GREW IN THE TUBES UNTIL THEY WERE BLOCKED, REQUIRING 'SURGICAL REPLACEMENT OF BOTH TUBES, AGAIN AND AGAIN.
WE EVEN HAD ONE INFECTION CALLED ACINETOBACTER BAUMANNII, AN INFECTION WE WERE TOLD MUST HAVE BEEN TRANSMITTED BY A STAFF MEMBER WHO ALSO WORKED AT THE LOCAL VETERANS' HOSPITAL, AS THIS PARTICULAR STRAIN WAS COMMONLY SEEN IN MILITARY PERSONNEL RETURNING FROM...THE MIDDLE EAST.
TO COVER THEIR BUTTS, WE WERE ALSO TOLD IT COULD HAVE COME FROM A COLONIZED INPATIENT DURING ONE OF OUR MANY, MANY HOSPITAL STAYS, OR MAY HAVE BEEN PASSED ON AT RADIATION OR CHEMO TREATMENTS AT OTHER FACILITIES....NO WAY TO PLACE BLAME, YOU SEE.NO ONE COULD PROVE WHO WAS AT FAULT.
IN ONE OF THE FINAL DAYS, WITH THE CANCER RESOLVED TO THE POINT THAT NORMAL URINATION WAS POSSIBLE, WE WENT TO HAVE THE CURSED TUBES REMOVED.
IT WAS "NO MORE NEPHROSTOMY DAY"!
REJOICE, EARTH!
WE'LL BE FREE!
WE LAUGHED AND CRIED ALL THE WAY TO THE HOSPITAL, OVERJOYED AT THE PROGRESS, ECSTATIC BECAUSE WE COULD BE RID OF WHAT WE BOTH ADMITTED THEN WAS AN ERROR OF JUDGEMENT, A BAD CHOICE.
I WAS PROMISED THAT, FROM THAT DAY FORWARD, BOTH OF US WOULD BE ON THE NATURAL PLANT=BASED PROTOCOL THAT HAD DEFEATED MY CANCER.
WE PLANNED TO GO TO IRELAND, A PLACE MY BELOVED HAD FALLEN IN LOVE WITH AND HAD ALWAYS WISHED TO VISIT AT LENGTH.
I TREASURE THAT RIDE TO THE HOSPITAL.
IT WAS ABSOLUTELY "MAGICAL".
AND THEN, AFTER INITIAL TESTING AND PREP, LYING THERE WAITING TO GO "LOSE THE TUBES", THAT POOR HEART, OVERTAXED BY EVERYTHING, SIMPLY COULD TAKE NO MORE.
CRASH CART, CODE BLUE, JUST MINUTES AWAY FROM NEPHROSTOMY REVERSAL....
BARELY STABILIZED, AN AMBULANCE TOOK US TO THE BIGGER HOSPITAL TO THEIR INCREDIBLE CARDIOLOGY WING, AND WITHIN AN HOUR OR SO, I COULD COMMUNICATE WITH MY MATE, SEE A SMILE, HOLD A HAND, AND WIPE AWAY TEARS.
FIVE MORE DAYS IN CCU, MOVED ACROSS THE STREET TO ONCOLOGY'S WING, GIVEN THE SCHEDULE FOR OUR LAST 3 VISITS TO CHEMO, OUR FINAL 2 ROUNDS OF RADIATION, ASSURED THAT THEY'D TRY AGAIN IN A "COUPLE WEEKS OR SO" TO ELIMINATE THE NEPHROSTOMY.
ONE FINAL TRIP HOME A FEW DAYS LATER, THEN A HURRIED RETURN BY AMBULANCE TWO DAYS AFTER THAT.
ONE KIDNEY HAD SHUT DOWN, NO FUNCTION, SWOLLEN, ANOTHER FECAL IMPACTION FROM THE HYDROCODONE, BLOOD PRESSURE SO DANGEROUSLY LOW, AND THEN AN IDIOT ADMINISTERED TO THIS IMMUNE-COMPROMISED, CACHEXIC BODY A FLU AND A PNEUMONIA VACCINE!
WHY?
HOW WAS THAT POSSIBLE WHEN WE HAD BOTH REFUSED THOSE, REFUSED ALL VACCINES?
WHO WOULD ALLOW THAT IN AN IMMUNE-COMPROMISED PATIENT?
PNEUMONIA IN ALL LOBES BY THE NEXT DAY.
HIGH FEVER, TERRIBLE CHILLS, HORRIFIC NAUSEA AND VOMITING.
BLOOD IN EVERYTHING THAT CAME OUT...EVERYTHING PUMPED OUT AND EVERYTHING THAT CAME NATURALLY.
THEN A TEARING AWAY OF BEDCLOTHES AND THE MOST PROFUSE SWEATING I HAVE EVER SEEN.
RESTRAINTS...TO AVOID REMOVAL OF ALL THE TUBES, THE HATEFUL LINES IN AND OUT, RESTRAINTS ...TO KEEP THE PATIENT IN THE BED.AND IN ANOTHER 2 DAYS....GONE.
NOTHING PREPARES A MIND FOR THE DEATH OF A LOVED ONE.
AFTER MY INITIAL 'BREAKDOWN', AFTER THE FINALITY REGISTERED IN MY MIND, I DEMANDED REMOVAL OF THOSE DAMNABLE KIDNEY TUBES, REMOVAL OF THE PORT IN THAT TORTURED NECK, NASAL CANNULA, GASTRIC TUBE, ALL 3 IVs, REMOVAL OF ALL SIGNS THAT THERE HAD BEEN SO MUCH, SO VERY MUCH TORMENT.
BEFORE THAT EMACIATED BODY WAS REMOVED FROM THAT FACILITY, EVERYTHING HAD TO BE TAKEN OUT, EXCEPT THE THREE STENTS IN THAT NOW-STILL HEART.

~Millions of people are being needlessly diagnosed with “pre-diabetes,” putting them at risk of receiving “unnecessary” medical treatment and creating “unsustainable burdens” for health care systems, according to a commentary published last week in the journal BMJ.
Written by Dr. Victor Montori, an endocrinologist who specializes in diabetes at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, and Dr. John Yudkin, an emeritus professor of medicine at University College London, the commentary describes the dubious origins of the “pre-diabetes” label and its unreliable role as a predictor of who will go on to develop diabetes.
“Pre-diabetes is an artificial category with virtually zero clinical relevance,” says Yudkin in a press statement released with the commentary. “There is no proven benefit of giving diabetes treatment drugs to people in this category before they develop diabetes, particularly since many of them would not go on to develop diabetes anyway.”
