Brutal, violent torturing severe side effects occur caused by the Chemotherapy drugs cytoxin, cistoplatin, 5-FU, (fluorouracil) (Options p.10) Referred to by doctors as (five feet under). Virtually all of the anticancer Drugs approved by the FDA are toxic, carcinogenic and immunosuppressive. (p. 9) Two out of three women often die when they take chemotherapy as a choice to destroy their cancer cells. But, seven out of ten women with stage I breast cancer will survive if they choose not to have chemotherapy. Most of these women dont even need or benefit from chemotherapy. *(Breast Cancer Author Steve Austin N.D. p.98) Alarmingly most of the toxic side effects of these drugs are so widely accepted by the American public. Such as, they know about the extreme nausea, vomiting and hair loss will occur when these drugs are given. Before the actual admission of these drugs many cancer patients dont know exactly what excruciating pain and suffering they will endure. Whatis the advantage one would gain over cancer by using such drugs that cause?

Diabolical side effects and destroy the bodies normal cells and almost totally destroys the immune system with it. Cytoxin, cistoplatin and 5 Fu, cause intense irritability, frustration, fatigue, low energy, loss of identity, sexual dysfunction, insomnia, headaches, hair loss which causes shock and grief, nausea, diarrhea, malaise, mouth ulcers, depression, weight loss or gain, early menopause, bladder dysfunction, lymphoma, and worse of all a destruction of the immune system. I am disappointed with these shocking results. How can something so harmful and debilitating cure your cancer

without killing you? This is so frightening to me and that we are so accepting of drugs that may kill us. We lay our lives in their hands and it is a total devastation to the emotional psychic. In the book options the author stated, p (10)

"Cancer that people which most die --the big killers like breast, colon, and lung cancer--generally do not respond to chemotherapy." Several studies indicate that chemotherapy has no survival value in breast cancer. "Survival may even have been shortened in some breast cancer patients given chemotherapy. Also a fact that most physicians agree that chemotherapy is largely ineffective, they the patients are coerced into using it by special interest groups which have vested interest in the profits of the drug industry."

Now lets look at radiation therapy which is used on about half of the cancer patients. The cobalt 60 radium seeds are inserted into cancerous

tumors is suppose to kill the cancer but it damages normal, healthy cells and it destroys chromosomes and damage other body organs which severely depresses the patients immunity. As I view these options offered by the medical community I feel I am being deceived by the dollar cohorts. While suffering side effects, which I believe, are worse than chemo. These side effects may be longer lasting or permanent, such as hair loss, sterilization and bone death. But the sadness of it all many doctors believe radiotherapy is harmless, and they continue to recommend it even when knowing its effects. Studies showed at the Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York that radiotherapy was deadly and patients who received no radiation lived longer than those who were irradiated. (P.13)

There are other drugs that the public thinks is a lifesaver to the other cancer drugs. Such as Tamoxifen, this drug blocks estrogen receptors (ERS), in the breast cancer cells. This drug interferes with estrogen and may cause other problems but research has not proven that it is safe for all cancer patients. Its side effects are similar to menopausal symptoms. Even though it interferes with estrogen in the breast, research shows it does the exact opposite in several parts of the body. I wonder if it can cause cancer growths in other parts of the body while inhibiting it in the breast. Research does not show evident proof this will not happen.

Other research states Tamoxifen can reduce the TGF-a substance that increases tumor growth. Women with high levels of ERs have a high chance of survival with out taking Tamoxifen. Research states the drug actually increases estrogen. On occasion has caused breast cancer to grow.

(Breast Cancer Author Steve Austin) (p.119)

To find out if you have a high amount of ERs a diseased tissue is sent to the lab and the Ers are measured by the femtomoles per milligram (fmol/mg), 10fmol/mg is consider ERs positive by some labs. If the number is less your considered negative. So if you have a high ER rate your more likely to survive. Some labs call Er-negative tumors that are malignant if 3 fmol/mg are present in the tissue sample. But this really varies from lab to lab.

If a drug blocks estrogen receptors while increasing estrogen in the body arent we playing Russian roulette. Excess estrogen may cause problems elsewhere. Early stage cancer I, II are cancers without cancer in the lymph nodes. The cancer is consider stage I if the tumor is 2cm or smaller but if it is larger and in the nodes it is classed as stage II. Now if both have no cancer in the nodes it is considered node negative but if it is in the nodes it is classed as node positive. The most alarming news is that the patients that had no cancer in the lymph nodes had a 75% survival rate? So if what these researchers are saying is so than most patients have a high rate of survival without surgery, chemo, radiation or Tamoxifen. It is unconceivable to me that we will so willingly take a drug or substance to rid ourselves of an illness when in so doing it almost destroys us or causes the most debilitating side effects such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness, PMS, amenorrhea, asthma, blood clotting disorders, eye damage or uterine and liver damage. Most patients have psychological symptoms, depression and the lack of concentration. I must give credit to other therapies for cancer such as the therapies under study like shark cartilage. Research states shark cartilage is a vascular and it lacks blood vessels. Most cancers (including breast cancer) require a generous supply of blood in order to keep growing. Cancer cells have the ability to direct the body to grow new blood vessels to supply the tumor. My opinion is the tumors grow by the tumor substances in the blood. Since tumors thrive on the generous supply of blood it must be what is in the blood. Common sense would be to look at the blood and its difference in malignant cancer patients. Then compare it to healthy non-tumor patients. If the cancer patients blood shows dysfunctional problems and toxins in it it needs to be flushed out, cleaned and enriched with proper substances that kills cancer naturally. Research states shark cartilage inhibits this vacuolization. Maybe clean blood high in shark cartilage can impair and starve the tumors. Lets view other prospects of therapies, such as herbs, enzymes, vitamins and diet. We all know we are what we eat. This is not surprising to those of us who turned vegetarian. My opinion about diet is that organic plants provide us with the best cancer fighting substance found by medical science. This is where our food pyramid comes in, every medical professional will use this chart as a reference to guide patients to the proper diet plan. Many doctors will agree we must eat more fruits and vegetables to fight many illnesses that afflict us. There is no question by most people or medical professionals that our diet should be the number one aspect we should look at when we become ill.

In deeper thought lets view vitamins. Our national statistics state we must obtain a recommended daily allowance of specific vitamins and minerals to maintain health. Wow! I believe we have a familiar view here.

The Surgeon General will agree we need our vitamins to survive. But, many doctors will not prescribe vitamins or even do a blood vitamin profile when a patient is in their office. Usually a prescription of synthetic drugs will be offered without checking first if there is a vitamin deficiency. For instance, lets look at a national medical problem with our young school aged children who are diagnosed with ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder). Many doctors are to eager to give the child Ritalin with out checking if this child is eating right or is getting vitamins. Now suppose this child is a nacho, cereal, big Mac and coke a cola addict. Where are the vegetables, fruits and vitamins? Would you surmise this child should receive Ritalin or a change in diet and a good dose of a daily vitamin.

Now lets look a little deeper into the human body. If we are to assimilate vitamins from our foods we need enzymes correct. Well as we age our organs slow down and production of specific enzymes will be in low production and we will still be void or have a deficiency of our vitamins and minerals. The pancreas is a unique organ providing us with the necessary enzymes to break down food. A wide range of these enzymes will be released only if there is a good supply available. Many types of enzyme must be ready to break up your food into small enough molecules so it can get into your blood stream to feed your cells the appropriate nutrients. Only a raw fruit and vegetable food diet gives you the needed enzymes that aid in digestion. When foods are cooked at 120* temperatures these enzymes are destroyed and we lose again volatile enzymes needed. Cooked/canned foods can also over stress the organs and cause deterioration of our cells because they are void of the enzymes needed to breakdown and this unprocessed food ferments in the system and causes autointoxification. Metabolic enzymes in our white blood cells contain protease and this breaks down protein to make it useable for the cell.

With an average American diet the enzymes needed are protease to break down protein, amylase for (starch breakdown), lipase to separate fats, cellulase to break up roughage, papain (pancreatic enzymes are released to breakdown all eaten foods as we age we release less). Most cancer patients have a deficiency of digestive pancreatic enzymes (p. 198). If digestive enzymes are lacking; our bodies cannot digest the foods we eat. Not only are essential nutrients lost, but the resulting fermamentation and decay produces harmful toxins in the GI tract and these toxins seep into the blood. Are these? The cancer causing substances. Now as we all know the average American diet is over cooked and has very little fruits and vegetables. As I review my past diet it was like this. I ate cereal or donuts in the morning, a whopper and a coke for lunch, and then meat and potatoes for supper. As a snack I ate allot of popcorn with butter and of course a diet coke. I was a diet coke addict and I never knew that it weakened your bones and also the nutra-sweet in it created side effects such as depression, autoimmune disorders and blindness. Herbs, are they as good as they state. Well extensive studies have been done in England and many other countries. But America will poke fun at many non-proven theories. The ACS and NCS will call these studies quackery with out given them just due. These therapies will be placed on a blacklist banning their study in the states. But surprisingly they allow drugs on the market by the FDA and are used on the public without documented research. (We are their guinea pigs). I wonder and ask what about the drug Ritalin and Redux and the other diet drugs that were banned from the shelves. Were these blacklisted from study on the Americans? No!

The herbs in the book Options discussed were (p.105) an Essiac herbal combination of herbal tea researched by Rene Cassie consists of Slippery Elm, Burdock root, Turkey Rhubarb, and Sheep Sorrel. Sheep Sorrel leaves are high in chlorophyll which carries oxygen to the cells and is a blood cleanser while helping break up tumors. Burdock is an immune system enhancer, which has anti-bacterial properties and also a blood cleanser.

Turkey Rhubarb is a liver cleanser and purges the body of toxins.

Slippery Elm promotes circulation and increases insulin for the liver, spleen and pancreas.

For fifty-eight years Rene Caisse treated thousands of cancer patients

with this herbal tea and this tea brought remissions to hundreds of documented cases which were classed a terminal or hopeless by conventional medical doctors. Rene Caisse went under constant threat and harassment by Authorities. The United States reported it as unapproved for marketing but will not study its effects on cancer patients but will allow chemo and 5 FU to destroy the cancer patient. What is their problem?

Other herbs in Options is chaparral, (p.135) many cancer patients who drank this tea claimed tumors shrank and had a remission of their cancer. A study was done that chaparrals ingredient Nor-dihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) has powerful anti-tumor properties and is a potent inhibitor of glycoloysis, the breakdown of sugars and charohydrates. Otto Warburg indicates that cancer cells live and grow on fermenting sugar. Experiments where done with " NDGA at the National Cancer Institute and showed Chaparral is a very active agent against cancer." Why is it not used?

Pau D Arco (p. 128) many testimonials from cancer patients stated this herb has caused tumor regression and remission. Clinical laboratory studies reveal evidence a compound lapachol is present in this tea which is a strong anti-tumor and antibiotic agent.

As I close my argument and opinions on nature verses conventional therapies I read some alarming statements in this book. " Despite the publics support and growing interest in nontoxic, noninvasive alternative approaches, the medical establishment has waged a fierce campaign against such therapies, labeling them quackery. Treatment centers have been padlocked, doctors who prescribe nutrition or herbs have been thrown in jail. Responsive, caring physicians whom verbally supports or practices alternative therapies have been fired, demoted, or ostracized or have had their medical license revoked. While official medicine suppresses or thwarts promising alternatives, it pours billion of dollars into narrow research supporting chemotherapy, radiation and surgery as the major weapons in the "War on cancer. The author stated "The war on cancer is a fraud". (p 4) I agree with Richard Walters because of statistical evidence speaks louder than words. Can all those cancer patients testimonials be a lie? The conventional treatments have not changed the death rate at all and many would have lived longer with natural cancer therapies instead. Dr. Hardin Jones, professor of medical physics at the University of California at Berkeley carefully analyzed the cancer survival statistics for twenty-five years. He told the American Cancer Society in 1969 that, " untreated patients do not die sooner than patients receiving orthodox treatment-and in many cases they live longer.

Now that I have given my opinions and ideas on cancer and the therapies out there. I now want to ask a question. How and why have the Americans right of freedom of choice to health care been taken away? Many people I discuss this with have a puzzled look on their faces wondering why they are not given the choices. Choices to choose Alternatives and to get insurers to cover it. What have the insurers and patients got to lose? The insurers will gain higher revenues and the patient will gain the respect that they have a choice on how to treat their own bodies when they become sick. But, the NCS, FDA and the ACS will lose money! Sales in Chemotherapy are $750 million a year. And the ACS collects from the public $400 million but only $30 million is spent on research. Go figure! Where did the money go?

Most patients have paid less than $1,000 for the first year of alternative treatments which are far less than the expenses of $2,500 a day for the conventional medical treatments. Yes some of this is picked up by insurance but, are you getting well? According to Richard Walters book 65% of the M.Ds who agreed with alternatives where blacklisted, shunned or jailed. I ask a big question to our society that believe in invasive procedures such as chemotherapy and radiation. One and one half million people die each year of chemotherapy treatments. (Discovery Health Channel, 12-00) Why weren't those who killed innocent people with these drugs put in jail? The American people are being deceived and they dont question it as much as they should.

America is supposed to be a free country. We walk into the supper market to get cigarettes, whiskey, and over the counter drugs but we are jailed for believing in a substance that may save our lives. To deny a person the right to choose a therapy that they believe would save their live is a denial of every moral and ethical principle. We are not free! I believe in a cause and that cause is the words that will ring in my ears the rest of my life. Freedom. I want freedom to choose, to live my own life and choose the ways to make it happy, full and healthy.

Cancer Weakness #1: High Oxygen Levels Kill Cancer - Low Oxygen Levels Breed Cancer Did you realize that an underlying cause of cancer may be low cellular oxygenation levels, which in newly formed cells, damages their cellular respiration enzymes. And that this can cause them to become cancerous? There is a lot of research behind this theory.

In 1931 Dr. Warburg won his first Nobel Prize for proving cancer is caused by a lack of oxygen respiration in cells. He stated in an article titled The Prime Cause and Prevention of Cancer that "the cause of cancer is no longer a mystery, we know it occurs whenever any cell is denied 60% of its oxygen requirements."

"Cancer, above all other diseases, has countless secondary causes. But, even for cancer, there is only one prime cause. Summarized in a few words, the prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by a fermentation of sugar. All normal body cells meet their energy needs by respiration of oxygen, whereas cancer cells meet their energy needs in great part by fermentation. All normal body cells are thus obligate aerobes, whereas all cancer cells are partial anaerobes."

Some causes of poor oxygenation include a buildup of carcinogens and other toxins within and around cells, which blocks and then damages the cellular oxygen respiration mechanism. Clumping up of red blood cells slows down the bloodstream and restricts flow into capillaries. Which also causes poor oxygenation. Even lack of the proper building blocks for cell walls, essential fatty acids, restricts oxygen exchange."

(This is why the flax oil in cottage cheese treatment popular in Europe - 2 tablespoons of organic, refrigerated flax oil or freshly ground flax seed in some cottage cheese - works so well. It provides essential fatty acids so that cell walls are repaired and can properly work to oxygenate cells.)

What Warburg and other scientists found was that the respiratory enzymes in cells, which make energy aerobically using oxygen, die when cellular oxygen levels drop.

When this happens, the cell can no longer produce energy aerobically. So, if the cell is to live, it must, at least partially, ferment sugars, producing energy anaerobically.

According to Warburg, cells that produce energy by fermenting sugars may turn cancerous. Warburg's contention is this...

Cells must switch to producing energy anaerobically because low oxygen levels have lead to the death of the respiratory enzymes needed to produce energy aerobically. When this happens, the cells cannot produce enough energy to maintain their ability to function properly. So they lose their ability to do whatever they need to do in the body. Fermentation allows these cells to survive, but they can no longer perform any functions in the body or communicate effectively with the body. Consequently, these cells can only multiply and grow. And may become cancerous. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say, they change into cancer cells.

Decades ago, two researchers at the National Cancer Institute, Dean Burn and Mark Woods, (Dean translated some of Warburg's speeches) conducted a series of experiments where they measured the fermentation rate of cancers that grew at different speeds. What they found supported Dr. Warburg's theory. The cancers with the highest growth rates had the highest fermentation rates. The slower a cancer grew, the less it used fermentation to produce energy.

Naturally Warburg's contention was challenged and tested by other scientists.

Some researchers claimed his theory was not valid after they had measured a particularly slow growing cancer, and found no fermentation at all. And if cancer could grow with no fermentation, then fermentation, or lack of oxygen respiration, was not the cause of cancer. Dean Burn and Mark Woods checked those results.

Using more sophisticated equipment, they determined that the equipment these researchers used to measure fermentation levels was not accurate enough to detect fermentation at low levels. Their testing, using newer and more accurate equipment, showed that even in those very slow growing cancer cells, fermentation was still taking place, at very low levels.

This was also confirmed by Pietro Gullino, also at the National Cancer Institute, who devised a test, which showed that this slow growing cancer always produced fermentation lactic acid. Silvio Fiala, a biochemist from the University of Southern California, also confirmed that this slow growing cancer produced lactic acid, and that it's oxygen respiration was reduced.

Further research into Warburg's theory showed that when oxygen levels were turned down, cells began to produce energy anaerobically, and ultimately became cancerous when levels went low enough. It took a reduction of 35% in oxygen levels for this to happen.

J. B. Kizer, a biochemist and physicist at Gungnir Research in Portsmith, Ohio explains, "Since Warburg's discovery, this difference in respiration has remained the most fundamental (and some say, only) physiological difference consistently found between normal and cancer cells. Using cell culture studies, I decided to examine the differential responses of normal and cancer cells to changes in the oxygen environment.

"The results that I found were rather remarkable. I found that... "High 02 tensions were lethal to cancer tissue, 95 percent being very toxic, whereas in general, normal tissues were not harmed by high oxygen tensions. Indeed, some normal tissues were found to require high 02 tensions. It does seem to demonstrate the possibility that if the 02 tensions in cancer tissues can be elevated, then the cancer tissue may be able to be killed selectively, as it seems that the cancer cells are incapable of handling the 02 in a high 02 environment."

Low oxygen levels in cells may be a fundamental cause of cancer. There are several reasons some cells become poorly oxygenated. An overload of toxins clogging up the cells, poor quality cell walls that don't allow nutrients into the cells, poor circulation and perhaps even lower levels of oxygen in the air we breathe.

Cancer cells produce excess lactic acid as they ferment energy. This is toxic and helps to prevent the transport of oxygen into neighboring normal cells. And over time as these cells replicate, the cancer may spread if not destroyed by the immune system.

Chemotherapy and radiation are used because cancer cells are weaker than normal cells and therefore may die first.

However, chemo and radiation damages respiratory enzymes in healthy cells and overloads them with toxins, so they become more likely to develop into cancer. The underlying cancer causing conditions are worsened, not improved. And the cancer usually returns quickly a second time unless you make changes to support the health of your body.

The implication of this research is that an effective way to support the body's fight against cancer would be to get as much oxygen as you can into the cells. Raising the oxygen levels of the still normal cells would help prevent them from becoming cancerous.

And increasing oxygen levels in cancer cells to high levels could help kill those cancer cells.

A nurse who works in medical research said, "It's so simple. I don't know why I never thought of it before. When we're working with cell cultures in the lab, if we want the cells to mutate, we turn down the oxygen. To stop them, we turn the oxygen back up."

Ma Lan, MD and Joel Wallach DVD, point out that one type of white blood cells kills cancer cells by injecting oxygen creating hydrogen peroxide into the cells.

By the way, it is not easy to get additional oxygen into cells. Most approaches don't work well. Breathing oxygen is still limited by the amount of hemoglobin available and acidity levels. And Dr. Whittaker points out, quite rightly, that liquid oxygen supplements that only release oxygen into the blood, which most of them only do, can't get oxygen into the cells.

He explains that a delivery mechanism is needed to transport oxygen into cells. And though the typical oxygen supplement gets oxygen into the stomach or the blood, that doesn't mean it, gets into the cells.

There is a bit more to this oxygenation story.

If you remember, according to Warburg, it is increased amounts of carcinogens, toxicity and pollution that cause cells to be unable to uptake oxygen efficiently. This is connected with over-acidity.

Cancer Weakness #2: High Acidity In The Body Fosters Development Of Cancer While A More Alkaline Environment Keeps The Body Cancer Free There is plenty of research showing that cancer thrives in an acidic environment, and doesn't survive in an alkaline environment. Cancer cells produce lactic acid as a byproduct of fermentation, which makes them highly acidic. Making the body more alkaline is important in fighting cancer.

Unfortunately...

The majority of the foods and drinks we consume are acidic, with colas and other soft drinks being highly acidic. So unless you have been eating a very healthy diet, full of fresh fruit and vegetables, your body is way too acidic. And is a very good environment for cancer to grow in.

Actually, a too much acidity is an underlying cause of many of our degenerative diseases, diabetes, arthritis, fibromyalgia and more. A basic maxim of natural physicians is: Balance the bio terrain. Do this first thing, then everything can come back to normal.

Taking medicines or supplements while your body is highly acidic is a bit like washing dishes in a sink of dirty water, even when you put in plenty of soap, you can't get the dishes clean.

According to Keiichi Morishita in his book, Hidden Truth of Cancer, as blood starts to become acidic, the body deposits acidic substances in cells to get them out of the blood. This allows the blood to remain slightly alkaline. However, it causes the cells to become acidic and toxic, which may result in a decrease in oxygen levels, and harm to the DNA and respiratory enzymes.

Over time, he theorizes, these cells increase in acidity and some die. These dead cells themselves turn into acids. However, some of these acidified cells may adapt in that environment. In other words, instead of dying - as normal cells do in an acid environment - some cells survive by becoming abnormal cells.

These abnormal cells are called malignant cells. Malignant cells do not correspond with brain function nor with our own DNA memory code. Therefore, malignant cells grow indefinitely and without order. This is cancer.

As you can see, what he seems to be describing, though from a different point of view, is the process by which low oxygen levels turns some cells cancerous.

It is interesting to note the connections here. Alkaline water (including the water in cells) can hold a lot of oxygen. Acidic water (or cells) can hold very little oxygen. So the more acidic your cells are, the less oxygenated they will be. And the process cancer cells use to produce energy, fermentation, produces lactic acid, further increasing acidity.

Sang Whang, in his book Reverse Aging, points out that toxins are acidic. If the blood is already overly acidic, toxins will not be released into the blood, which must happen in order to detoxify your cells. This buildup of toxins causes acidic, poorly oxygenated cells, which may, at some point, turn cancerous. He explains,

"In general, degenerative diseases are the result of acid waste buildups within us. When we are born, we have the highest alkaline mineral concentration and also the highest body pH. From that point on, the normal process of life is to gradually acidify. That is why these degenerative diseases do not occur when you are young. Reverse aging requires two separate steps: chemical and physical. The first step is to lower the acidity of the body so that it can dispose of acidic wastes in the blood and cellular fluids safely and easily. The second step is to physically pull out old stored wastes into the blood stream so that they can be discharged from the body."

Cancer Weakness #3: Methylglyoxal Stops Cancer Cells From Proliferating While A Lack Of Methylgyloxal Allows Cancer Cells To MultiplyDr. Albert Szent-Gyorgyi was the Nobel Laureate in Medicine in 1937 for the isolation and discovery of Vitamin C. Known as the "Father of Nutritional Science", he also discovered Iso-Flavones and vitamin P. In his last 40 years, he researched the regulatory processes of cell growth, and thereby the regulation of cancer itself.

He discovered some exciting and rather amazing information about cancer. In 1963 the prestigious magazine "Science" published a remarkable article about his research. In it Dr. Szent-Gyorgyi identified two substances, one called Retine, which inhibited cancer growth, and the other called Promine, which promoted cell growth and made cancer grow faster. He explained that these were very small molecules that were highly potent in controlling cell division. His research using mice achieved shrinkage of tumors by increasing the ratio of Retine to Promine with daily injections of Retine. Other researchers obtained similar results.

There were no harmful or toxic side effects.

Again, in animal studies he showed that injecting Methylglyoxal daily into mice inoculated with cancer cells was highly effective. The study was divided up into 5 groups of 20 mice each. Every mouse in the control group died in the first 26 - 34 days. All mice were observed for 300 days. The First group began treatment 1 hour after inoculation. 15 of them survived

In the Second group, beginning treatment 4 hours after inoculation, 13 animals survived. The Third group began treatment 24 hours afterwards and 7 survived. The Fourth group waited 48 hours and 4 survived.

In an interview in Prevention magazine in 1972 conducted by Jane Kinderlehrer, he explained that he and "Dr. Egyud have found that retine (methylglyoxal) stops the growth of cancer cells without poisoning other cells. When retine is present in sufficient concentration, no cell division can occur while vital cellular processes go on unhindered."

The article goes on, "And what is a good bit of luck, and not my cleverness, the white-haired scientist pointed out, "is that if a cancer cell cannot grow, it dies by itself.' According to the researchers, retine is normally produced by the body and, when it is, it prevents the growth of existing cancer cells. But the body can lose its ability to produce this substance...

"Putting the retine back in the body, just as we put insulin back into a diabetic's body, can stop the growth of cancer... The scientists at Woods Hole found that cancer cells are much more sensitive to retine than normal ones, and so cancer cells may be inhibited specifically."

To sum it up, the Carbonyl group - Glyoxal & Methylglyoxal, arrests cell division and makes the cell return to a resting state. If Carbonyl is missing, uncontrolled proliferation goes on and cells grow wildly and uncontrollably which could lead to cancer or other severe conditions. Glyoxal & Methylglyoxal are non-toxic, cell specific substance with anti-cancer activity.

Another well known doctor, Dr. William Koch, worked on this same issue from a different approach. Dr. Szent-Gyorgyi acknowledged his work saying, "A decade ago, a very intuitive researcher, Dr. William F. Koch, came to the same conclusion about the possible importance of Carbonyls in regulation of cell division and carcinostasis."

Later on in this report I will tell you about more about his work and the products he developed.

Cancer Weakness #4: A Weakened Immune System Leads To Cancer While A Strong Immune System Conquers CancerAn important aspect of dealing with cancer is supporting the immune system. After all, for most of your life the immune system has successfully dealt with cancer cells. It must become worn out, ineffective and unable to deal with the cancer cells before cancer takes hold and thrives.

So it may be quite important to strengthen the immune system so that it can better fight cancer. Especially if you are getting medical treatments that wipe out the immune system, and make the body more acidic to boot.

Your thymus gland is the key gland for the immune system. The stronger you can make it, the stronger your immune response to cancer will be.

Some natural supplements are better than others at supporting the immune system and creating health in the body. The trick is the use the ones that help the most as it is easy to squander resources on products that wont make a significant difference. And the other concern, if you have cancer, is to make sure you take enough of them.

Generally 5 to 10 times the normal supplemental amounts seem to work best. This is a most important issue and later on I will introduce you to many many products to help build the immune system. I only covered it briefly here, because you already know it is important. Let's go on to some issues that may be new to you.

Cancer Weakness #5: Candida and Fungal Infections Related To Cancer Development Some doctors theorize that candida or other systemic fungal infections may cause or at least contribute to the development of cancer. It makes sense. A widespread candida infection plays havoc on the immune system. Not only does the immune system become overwhelmed and worn out from fighting it, but the candida (or other pathogens) excrete toxins that further weaken and harm the body.

The major waste product of candida is acetaldehyde, which produces ethanol. Ethanol can cause excessive fatigue, and reduces strength and stamina. In addition, it destroys enzymes needed for cell energy, and causes the release of free radicals that can damage DNA.

Ethanol makes it difficult to absorb iron. This reduces one of the most important oxygen supports in the blood (iron), and makes it difficult for your body to oxygenate fully. And you know what may happen when your body can't oxygenate well. So it may be important to deal with candida if one wants to successfully recover from cancer. There is a simple test to help you determine if you have candida overgrowth.

First thing in the morning, before you put ANYTHING in your mouth, get a clear glass of water. Better still; leave it by your bed the night before. Work up a bit of saliva, and then spit it into the glass of water.

Check the water every 15 minutes or so for up to one hour. If you have a candida yeast infection, you will see strings (like legs) traveling down into the water from the saliva floating on the top, or "cloudy" saliva will sink to the bottom of the glass, or cloudy specks will seem to be suspended in the water. If nothing develops in 30 minutes, you are probably candida yeast free.

A few reports implicate the role of fungi in causing leukemia. In 1999 Meinolf Karthaus, MD, watched three different children with leukemia suddenly go into remission upon receiving a triple antifungal drug cocktail for their "secondary" fungal infections.

In 1997 Mark Bielski stated that leukemia, whether acute or chronic, is intimately associated with the yeast, Candida albicans, which mutates into a fungal form when it overgrows.

Milton White, MD. believed that cancer is a chronic, infectious, fungus disease. He was able to find fungal spores in every sample of cancer tissue he studied.

Author Doug Kaufmann asserts that fungi in foods may play a role in cancer. He has seen children become free of their documented leukemia once the child's parents simply changed the child's diet. Kaufmann's diet is base on the widely published problem of mycotoxin contamination of our grain foods.

Grains such as corn, wheat, barley, sorghum, and other foods such as peanuts, are commonly contaminated with cancer-causing fungal poisons called mycotoxins. One of them, called aflatoxin, just happens to be the most carcinogenic substance on earth.

He says we consume, on average, from 0.15mg to 0.5mg of aflatoxin per day. So it is not sugar alone that is the problem in our western diet, but fungal toxins that are found in the sugary grains. More than once has Kaufmann interviewed a caller (on his health talk show) who absolutely craved peanut butter and popcorn just prior to their diagnosis of cancer.

Kaufmann feels that antibiotics may play a role in this. Antibiotics destroy the normal, protective gut bacteria, allowing intestinal yeast and fungi to grow unchecked. Resulting in Candida overgrowth. This can lead to immune suppression, symptoms of any autoimmune disease, or even cancer.

"If the onset of any symptom or disease, cancer included, was preceded by a course of antibiotics," he says, "then look for a fungus to be at the root of your problem."

Cancer Weakness #6: A Buildup Of Toxins And Chlorine Exposure Promote Cancer I have heard an eminent German oncologist say that the main cause of cancer is environmental toxins. Others agree. While there are obviously other issues, fungus, viruses, genetics, etc., the major change that has lead to the explosion of cancer over the last 100 years has been the introduction of tens of thousands of chemicals into the environments that we had never been exposed to before.

They have overwhelmed the defenses of the body and cancer develops. Unfortunately, if industry and the government they control have their way, it may even become worse.

Biotech companies have been aggressively promoting the use of genetically modified food. It's a financial goldmine for them. Unfortunately, there are several problems with genetically modified food. Even scientists at the FDA resisted them till political pressure led them to approve it. Every independent study has shown problems. Abnormal cell growth being high on the list. And no wonder.

Jeffrey Smith, author of Seeds of Deception writes on his website of that name, "More worrisome is that the "promoter" used inside GM foods could get transferred to bacteria or internal organs. Promoters act like a light switches, permanently turning on genes that might otherwise be switched off. Scientists believe that this might create unpredictable health effects, including the potentially pre-cancerous cell growth found in the animal feeding studies mentioned above.

"Milk from rbGH-treated cows contains an increased amount of the hormone IGF-1, which is one of the highest risk factors associated with breast and prostate cancer, among others. Soy allergies skyrocketed by 50% in the UK, coinciding with the introduction of GM soy imports from the U.S."

Foods are not required to be labeled as GM foods.The only way to make sure you are not eating food that has been genetically modified is to eat organic food or food labeled non-gmo. Eating organic food, of course, will also reduce the amount of chemicals you are ingesting.

Quite clearly, one of the most important things you need to do when fighting cancer is to avoid these toxins and to get rid of the ones in your body that may be causing your cancer.

There are several types of toxic buildups in the body that need to be dealt with when fighting cancer. As mentioned earlier, there is cellular toxicity primarily caused by the shunting of toxins into cells due to excess acidity in the blood.

There is heavy metal toxicity coming from years of exposure to highly toxic heavy metals. While many come from the environment, silver amalgam fillings, many vaccines and some other drugs put mercury and other metals into our body. Most large fish have elevated mercury levels. Elevated levels of heavy metals disrupt the immune system and must be dealt with when fighting cancer.

And then there is the toxic buildup in the colon of undigested foods and hardened fecal matter. Nutrient absorption is disrupted, and toxins sitting in that decaying mess are reabsorbed back into the body. This creates a constant stress on the immune system and a further load on the body's detoxification systems. Colon cleaning needs to happen on the journey to good health.

Toxins and pathogens in water have led to many diseases. But did you know that what's put in your water to purify it may be causing your cancer (and heart disease)?

The French, with their lower cancer rates from consuming OPCs and resveratrol in red wine, have made red wine famous for its health benefits. There is another side to their low cancer rates though that most people don't know...

The French do not drink chlorinated water. They ozonate their water to purify it.

Does this make a difference? Absolutely. "We are quite convinced... that there is an association between cancer and chlorinated water."
Medical College Of Wisconsin research team

We don't use chlorine because it's safe, we use it because it is cheap. We essentially still pour bleach in our water before we drink it. The long-term effects of chlorinated drinking water have recently been recognized. According to the U.S. Council Of Environmental Quality, "Cancer risk among people drinking chlorinated water is 93% higher than among those whose water does not contain chlorine."

It may cause much heart disease too. Dr. Joseph Price wrote a highly controversial book in the late sixties titled Coronaries/Cholesterol/Chlorine, and concluded that nothing can negate the incontrovertible fact, that the basic cause of arteriosclerosis, heart attacks and stroke, is chlorine.

Dr. Price later headed up a study using chickens as test subjects, where two groups of several hundred birds were observed throughout their span to maturity.

One group was given water with chlorine and the other without. The group raised with chlorine, when autopsied, showed some level of heart or circulatory disease in every specimen, the group without had no incidence of disease. The group without chlorine grew faster, larger and displayed vigorous health.

This study was well received in the poultry industry, and is still used as a reference today. As a result, most large poultry producers use dechlorinated water.

When chlorine is added to our water, it combines with other natural compounds to form Trihalomethanes (chlorination byproducts), or THMs. These chlorine byproducts trigger the production of free radicals in the body, causing cell damage, and are highly carcinogenic.

"Although concentrations of these carcinogens (THMs) are low, it is precisely these low levels that cancer scientists believe are responsible for the majority of human cancers in the United States". The Environmental Defense Fund

Dr. Robert Carlson, a highly respected University of Minnesota researcher, sums it up by claiming, "Chlorine is the greatest crippler and killer of modern times!" Breast cancer, which now affects one in every eight women in North America, has recently been linked to the accumulation of chlorine compounds in the breast tissue. A study carried out in Hartford Connecticut, the first of it's kind in North America, found that:

"Women with breast cancer have 50% to 60% higher levels of organochlorines (chlorination byproducts) in their breast tissue than women without breast cancer."

It is not just drinking chlorinated water that is the problem.

Up to two thirds of our exposure to chlorine is due to inhalation of steam and skin absorption while showering. A warm shower opens up the pores of the skin and allows for accelerated absorption of chlorine and other chemicals in water.

The steam we inhale while showering can contain up to 50 times the level of chemicals than tap water due to the fact that chlorine and most other contaminants vaporize much faster and at a lower temperature than water. Inhalation is a much more harmful means of exposure since the chlorine gas (chloroform) we inhale goes directly into our blood stream.

"Showering is suspected as the primary cause of elevated levels of chloroform in nearly every home because of chlorine in the water." Dr Lance Wallace, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

If you take showers using chlorinated water and are dealing with cancer, clearly installing a shower filter to dechlorinate your shower water makes good sense.

It is the buildup of toxins in the body that blocks cell oxygenation and leads to the development of cancer from low oxygen levels in cells. The key is to protect your cells by making sure you are taking plenty of antioxidants, stop drinking chlorinated water or taking showers in it, and get rid of the buildup of toxins in your body using safe and natural detoxifiers. Several will be mentioned later on in this report.

Cancer Weakness #7: Free Radical Scavengers Protect Cells From Cancer While Too Many Free Radicals Can Be Cancer Causing One of the causes of cancer is excessive free radical damage in your cells that harms your DNA and results in some cells mutating into cancerous cells. Every chemical and toxin in you body causes free radical damage. The carcinogenic ones cause even more. Combined with high acidity and low oxygenation, you've got a prescription for cancer. While there is no doubt that the ordinary free radical scavengers play a key role in fighting cancer, like the OPCs that took care of lung cancer, there are even more potent scavengers that work in an entirely different way. SSR Super Quinone. Even though it has been used for over 60 years, it is virtually unknown.

Another reason we have too much free radical damage and too much cancer is that processed foods generate more free radicals than whole foods, and have fewer nutrients to act as free radical scavengers to help protect you from those free radicals.

On top of this, you are exposed to 70,000 chemicals -- 20,000 of which are known cancer-causing agents. These all cause free radical damage too, and help to cause cancer in yet another way.

Cancer Weakness #8: Enzymes Kill Cancer Cells While Low Levels Of Enzymes Are Implicated In Cancer Researchers have noted for years a correspondence between low enzyme levels and cancer. In fact enzyme therapy has been used with good results against cancers in Europe, and by some doctors in the United States. To literally digest cancerous cells.

The major reason enzymes levels become depleted is that we eat mostly processed, irradiated and cooked food.

The digestive system was designed to process raw food. Raw food, when it is picked ripe, has enzymes in it that help break down that food in the upper stomach where it sits for 30 to 45 minutes. The enzymes in the food predigest that food. Then in the lower stomach the pancreas excretes more enzymes.

When you eat cooked, irradiated and processed foods where the enzymes have been killed, the food does not predigest in the upper stomach. So when it reaches the lower stomach two things happen. The pancreas must make extra enzymes to try and break down the food.

And often that food is only partially digested.

The pancreas, after decades of overworking, eventually is no longer able to produce an adequate supply of enzymes. So you develop low enzyme levels and your body cannot naturally kill cancerous cells using enzymes.

In addition, food that is not completely digested all too often makes its way into the bloodstream. Especially if you have leaky gut syndrome from candida overgrowth. This partially digest food cannot be absorbed by cells. So it is treated as a toxin, and the immune system has to get rid of it. This puts an additional strain on the already overworked immune system.

Studies have found that the immune system treats the ingestion of cooked food as a toxic poison, causing a jump in white blood cells in an attempt to get rid of it as fast as possible.

Taking a good quality enzyme supplement with meals, one that has high levels of protease to digest protein, lipase to digest fat, and amylase to digest carbohydrates helps break down food in the upper stomach. So that the pancreas doesn't have to produce extra enzymes. Food is better digested.

Also, it is important to take these enzymes on an empty stomach. A stack of research shows that enzymes, when taken in this manner, will go into the bloodstream and clean it up. And in the process may digest and kill cancer cells.

This will do two other things6. Unstick clumpy red blood cells. Sticky, clumped up red blood cell clusters clog up capillaries and reduce circulation. So that cells cannot oxygenate properly. Which as you have gathered by now, may contribute to cancer.

Cancer tumors produce a thick fibrin protein to help protect them from the immune system. This also helps to stick the cancer tumor to wherever it is.

These digestive enzymes when in the bloodstream may be able to digest and dissolve the fibrin coating. Large amounts of enzymes would need to be taken and they would need to be enzymes high in protease to break down the fibrin.

Cancer Weakness #9: Cancer Has Low Subtle Energy Vibrations Conditions that lead to cancer can also be viewed energetically. In fact, low, unhealthy energetic vibrations may well set the stage for the development of cancer. Energy or vibratory levels differ between cancerous cells and healthy cells.

For example ...

Cancer cells have much lower levels of vibrating subtle energy. For a cell to turn cancerous, its vibratory energy must be low. There has been research showing that raising the energetic level of the body helps it to better deal with cancer.

Fortunately, there are ways to safely and easily raise the vibratory levels of cells. One way is to drink fluids that have been energized.

Liquids have the ability to vibrate at the rate fluids near them are vibrating. Drinking high-energy water will work to raise the energetic level of the cells in the body as the vibration of the water in those cells is energized by the drinking water.

The higher they are raised, the healthier the body, and the harder you make it on cancer. Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are felt by many alternative health professionals to be a possible cause of cancer and other ill health issues. You are exposed to them by all types of electronic appliances. Cell phones, computer screens and microwaves are among the biggest offenders, but even the clock radio by the side of your bed is putting out unhealthy levels of EMFs for a foot or two. Your car puts out quite a bit of it. Radiation from cell phones could literally eat holes in your blood brain barrier, which is there to prevent toxins from entering the brain. When its full of holes, more toxins get into brain, causing much damage.

There are two ways you can deal with EMFs. You can try to avoid exposure to them, or you can wear or use an energized product that counters the effect of that radiation to your body's energy field. As it is almost impossible to avoid consistent exposure, I prefer the second approach.Geopathic stress has been targeted by many alternative health practitioners in Europe as a cause of cancer. Simply put, it is energy coming from the earth that is not so healthy for you. One cause is underground streams. Two developers of energized products I will discuss later in this article both had cancer that would not resolve until they were told to check and see if they slept in an area that had geopathic stress. They did, made the changes and along with whatever else they were doing, got well.

In the process of eliminating as much toxic exposure as possible, you need to limit exposure from the chemicals in the carpets and walls of your home. Unless you've already taken special efforts to have a chemical free house, formaldehyde and many other chemicals have been outgassing toxic fumes in yours for years. Hulda Clark, in her books on fighting cancer and other diseases, recommends that all carpeting be pulled up, paneling and walls taken out and replaced, and so on if you want to beat cancer. Pretty drastic stuff. A less overwhelming solution would be to get a photo catalysis air cleaner. Using technology developed by NASA, it puts out molecules that interact with VOCs, the chemicals put out by carpets, etc. and changes them into harmless carbon and water molecules.

Personal care items like shampoo, conditioner, or skin lotion often contain ingredients that add to the overburden of chemicals your immune system must get rid of. Try to use as natural and pure personal care items with as few chemical listed in the ingredients as possible to reduce that overload. The less overwhelmed your immune system is, the better it can fight the cancer.
