Cancer is an uncontrolled division
of cells with specific genetic changes making them
malignant. There are conditions where cells can develop
uncontrolled growth without malignant changes such
as benign tumors and psoriasis.
A common myth is that everyone has malignant cells.
Though as stated above not all cellular overgrowths
are malignant. If it were true that everyone had malignant
cells then we would all be in serious trouble since
the immune system has an extremely difficult time
detecting and destroying malignant cells.
Another common myth is that malignant cells can survive
in the absence of oxygen. In reality, malignant cells
are highly reliant on oxygen for survival and die
in the absence of oxygen. In fact, both healthy cells
and malignant cells rely on both anaerobic glycolysis
and oxidative phosphorylation for energy production.
The main difference here is that malignant cells have
a very irregular vascular development reducing their
utilization of oxygen by oxidative phosphorylation
somewhat.
It was long believed that malignant cells were completely
anaerobic and that they produced lactic acid as a
byproduct of fermentation. These hypotheses have since
been disproven. As pointed out previously malignant
cells rely on oxygen for survival. And in the process
of energy production they produce the non-acidic salt
of lactic acid known as lactate. The extracellular
acidity of malignant tumors comes from the acidic
protons exported by cancer cells to protect themselves
from the acidity that would kill them.
The most common triggers for malignancies are microbes,
especially viruses. Bacterial and fungal-based malignancies
are less common. Other common causes of malignancies
include carcinogens including chemotherapy drugs,
radiation exposure including radiation therapy, and
hormones, especially xenoestrogens (herbicides, pesticides,
some plastics, dioxins from paper mills, etc.) and
estrogen replacement therapy. Parasitical infections
may cause some cancers though these forms of cancer
are extremely rare. Human genetics are believed to
play a role in the development of some cancers, though
the evidence for this hypothesis is very weak. Many
of the so-called oncogenes (cancer genes) have actually
been discovered to be of viral, not human, origin.
By inserting their DNA in to healthy cells the viruses
change the chemistry of the cell, and stimulate the
overproduction of cellular division hormones.
Many herbs have antitumor effects through different
mechanisms.
Chaparral prevents the cellular division of malignant
cells, and is a strong antiviral, antibacterial and
antifungal agent. Chaparral boosts the immune system
by raising vitamin C levels in the adrenal glands
and is the strongest natural antioxidant known.
Pau d' arco (lapacho, ipe roxo, tabuei, taheebo) is
another excellent anticancer, antiviral, antibacterial,
and antifungal herb, though it is more suited for
leukemias and lymphomas. Combining chaparral and pau
d' arco together increases the antiviral effect of
the pau d' arco.
Myrrh kills viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Myrrh also
stimulates white blood cell activity due to the polysaccharides
in the herb and blocks the spread of malignant cells
by blocking the enzyme hyaluronidase.
Poke root is another very important herb for the
treatment of cancer, though it should be used with
caution since it can be toxic. Poke root contains
a protein called PAF (poke activating factor) that
is structurally similar to interferon. Though unlike
interferons PAF is not tissue specific. In other words
interferons only work for the same tissues they were
derived from, which is why interferon therapy rarely
works. Since PAF is not tissue specific it will have
an interferon-like effect on all tissues. I like to
combine amla berries with the poke root for a synergistic
effect.
Amla berry is rich in stable vitamin C. Vitamin C
supports the immune system through the adrenal glands
and the thymus gland. Vitamin C is also required for
the activation of white blood cells. Amla destroys
viruses, bacteria, and fungi, all of which have been
linked to the formation of cancers. The synergy between
amla and poke occurs because amla increases the levels
of an enzyme, known as superoxide dismutase (SOD)
about 80%. SOD responds to the presence of interferons,
or in this case PAF, by producing hydrogen peroxide,
which activates white blood cells including natural
killer (NK) cells that destroy detectable malignant
cells and destroys some oncogenic microbes.
Nettle leaves remove lactate from the body so it is
not converted back in to glucose through the Cori
cycle.
Juniper berries contain an insulin-like compound that
lowers the blood sugar. Therefore both nettle leaves
and juniper berries help to starve the cancer cells.
Various mushrooms have shown strong antitumor properties
including maitake, shiitake, reishi, oyster, agaricus,
black fungus, enoki, and artist's conk. My personal
favorites are the mushrooms turkey tails and chagas.
Turkey tails contain two separate polysaccharides,
polysaccharides K and P that stimulate white blood
cell activity. Turkey tails contain the highest level
of organic germanium of all the mushrooms. Organic
germanium helps the cells to utilize oxygen and been
demonstrated to be highly antitumor. Chagas are not
well known, but in my opinion this black conk mushroom
has the strongest antitumor properties of all the
mushrooms. Chagas not only contain immune stimulating
polysaccharides, but also contains high levels of
betulinic acid, another compound shown to have extremely
high antiviral and antitumor activity.
Suma is the highest herbal source of organic germanium.
Suma also supports immunity through the adrenal glands.
Several other herbs that are not well known, thought
that have shown strong antitumor activity, are andrographis
and jiaogulan. I also highly recommend turmeric, which
has been shown to stop cancer growth through various
mechanisms.
Recommended minerals are 50mg zinc daily, 200mcg
selenium three times daily, and 40mg organic germanium
three times daily all with meals. When using germanium
make sure that it is organic germanium (Bis betacarboxyethylgermanium
sesquioxide), and not elemental germanium or germanium
dioxide, both of which are highly toxic to the kidneys.
For supplemental vitamins I recommend 1,000mg of vitamin
C with bioflavonoids 3 times daily with meals. Amla
berry is the preferred source of vitamin C since the
vitamin C in amla is stabilized by the polyphenols
in the berries, and it is 12 times stronger than synthetic
vitamin C. Most of the vitamin C on the market is
synthesized from sugar, and is not very stable and
therefore breaks down fairly quickly.
Ozone therapy is the most effective, and one of the
safest, therapies I have found for cancer. Ozone works
through several mechanisms:
-
Direct destruction of malignant
cells from peroxide overload. Unlike healthy cells
cancerous tumors lack the antioxidant enzymes (catalase,
peroxidases and superoxide dismutase) needed to
break down peroxides. Since malignant cells cannot
break down peroxides the high levels of hydrogen
and lipid peroxides produced during ozone therapy
swell the malignant cells until they burst apart.
Healthy cells use their antioxidant enzymes to break
these peroxides down in to water and oxygen and
therefore are not harmed by therapeutic levels of
ozone. In one German study malignant tumors directly
injected with ozone were completely destroyed within
5 minutes with no damage to surrounding healthy
tissues.
-
Destruction of malignancy forming
microbes, xenoestrogens and many other carcinogens.
-
Removal of lactate.
-
Stimulation of the immune system
by increasing levels of interferons, interleukins,
tumor necrosis factor (TNF), peroxides and superoxide
dismutase. All of these stimulate white blood cell
activity helping to support proper immunity.
For further information I recommend reading The
Use of Ozone in Medicine (highly technical, written
for doctors), or Oxygen Healing Therapies. Ozone can
be harmful if administered improperly. Only minute
concentrations can be used internally, and it must
be produced with pure oxygen for internal use. In
addition it is recommended that only cold corona ozone
generators be used for internal use, and never a hot
corona or ultraviolet (UV) unit. Hot corona and UV
units are for external use only. I have seen some
units being sold as cold corona units that were actually
hot corona, so it is important to learn how to tell
the difference and to buy from a reputable company.
Cancer patients should eliminate sugars from their
diets as much as possible. Sugars suppress white blood
cell activity and elevated blood sugar can promote
malignant growth. Farm raised meats and dairy should
be avoided because of hormones and antibiotics in
these products and because of the formaldehyde found
in homogenized milk. Aspartame (Equal, Nutrasweet)
should be avoided because aspartame breaks down quickly
under body heat and other heat sources releasing highly
toxic methanol. Methanol then metabolizes in to formic
acid, an organ irritant, and strongly carcinogenic
formaldehyde. Peanuts should be avoided since they
tend to contain high levels of aflatoxins produced
from a fungus known as Aspergillus niger. Aflatoxins
are well known for causing liver malignancies in immunosuppressed
people.
The diet should consist primarily of vegetables,
especially those in the cabbage family, which contain
antitumor compounds. Seeds are also beneficial because
they contain antiviral protease inhibitors.
I recommend drinking plenty of spring water, not
distilled or reverse osmosis (RO) water. Distilled
and RO water are very solvent and therefore can pull
beneficial minerals from the body. If you are going
to use distilled or RO water I recommend adding trace
mineral drops or silica to the water first so it loses
some of its solvency. Spring water is less solvent
and provides beneficial minerals. As an alternative
to water I recommend rooibos (red tea, honey bush),
which is rich in an immune stimulating compound similar
to superoxide dismutase. Rooibos is also low in tannins
and therefore will not interfere with the absorption
of medications, herbs or nutrients like green tea
and other high tannin sources can.

All of these herbs should be blended together thoroughly
to make the formula. The recommended dosage is 1/2 teaspoon
taken 3 times daily on an empty stomach a minimum of
30 minutes before eating a meal. The formula can be
mixed in a small amount of unsweetened cinnamon applesauce
to make it more palatable.
