What is cancer?

Cells are the very small units that make up all living things, including the human body. Cell growth and cell division are essential events that are involved in natural process of replacing worn-out or dying cells, and healing of wounds. Normal body cells grow, divide, and die in an orderly fashion. These normal growth, cell division and cell death are strictly controlled and regulated by the body mechanisms. Many control mechanisms exists for the control of cell growth and cell division. Genes that are located in the nucleus of the cells are the major controlling forces in the cells. This control is usually exerted through many genes that work in a co-coordinated manner. Cancer develops when these growth mechanisms are disrupted. When this happens cells begin to grow neglecting all growth control mechanisms resulting in cancer.

Cancer is not a single disease, but is a group of many related diseases that all behave in the same way in terms of cell growth and neglecting body control mechanisms for growth. Because the body does not have control over the growth of the cancer cells; they grow, invade, erode and destroy surrounding normal tissue. The human body is made up of hundreds of different kinds of cells; all of them behave differently from each other at least in some respects. There are different sets of genes for growth promotion and growth suppression. In normal healthy state the genes that promote growth, and genes that suppresses the growth are in good harmony, so that the cell growth and cell division occur only when it is needed. These growth related genes can get damaged by internal or external factors. If a growth suppressing gene is damaged the control mechanism suppressing unwanted growth may be lost. If a damage occurs in the growth promoting genes, they may lose their ability to promote cell growth, but some types of damage can actually increase the growth promoting ability of these types of genes. This may happen because the part of the gene that senses signals from the growth suppressing genes may be damaged releasing it from the control mechanisms of the growth suppressing genes. As the result of this type of damage, the genes the cell no longer pays attention to the commands of the tumor suppressor genes and continue to multiply. Every cell is programmed to die after certain number of cell divisions. Some times damage can occur to this programmed cell death gene that controls the death of the cell, thereby giving the cell the ability of immortality. If a combination ability to divide without control mechanisms and immortality are achieved that will give the cell very high chance of developing in to cancer. Most of the time only one cell accumulates all the genetic changes that are required to develop a cancer, but it soon will divide to multiple cells. Every time these abnormal cancer cells divide, the traits of lack of control by body growth mechanisms and immortality are passed to each of the daughter cells thereby, perpetuating the process of uncontrolled cell growth.

          There are many kinds of cancers that may originate from different cell types. They all may behave differently from each other, but the basic mechanism of cancer development may be similar in many cases. Many times the damage to the genes is caused by external factors like smoking, but damage to the genes may also occur as error during cells division. Many times our body is capable of recognizing the errors that occur during the cell division and can either repair or kill the cell in which the error has occurred. But some times the cell acquires ability to bypass the bodys mechanism for repairing these errors and the cell sustains the abnormality. The process of cancer development is usually a multi-step process, where the errors like the one just described accumulate.

When a cell acquires the type of error that gives them freedom from the growth control mechanism, these cellsdivide and increase in number,whereby increasing the chance of occurrence of another genetic error. External insults like smoking further damages the cells and may increase the risk of developing cancer. Some people may inherit partly damaged genes from their parents. Since their genes are abnormal to begin with, relatively few insults or errors during cell division may cause the development of cancer in these people. These people are said to have a inherited a genetic mutation that predisposes them to cancer.

          Any one of the hundreds of types of cells in the body in theory can change in to cancer, but some types of cells are more prone to be converted to cancer cells compared to rest of the cell types and subsequently the most common types of cancers can be traced to few cell types. For example the glands in the milk duct of females is highly susceptible to cancer development making breast cancer a very common form of cancer, where as it is extremely rare for the heart muscle to turn malignant. There are over 200 different types of cancer that can occur in humans. They all may behave differently from each other and may have different causes, different symptoms and may require different types of treatment.

          Normal cells stop growing once they come in contact with another cell. This phenomenon is called contact inhibition. Cancer cells tend to lose contact inhibition thereby they may grow on top of each other, or erode in to the surrounding tissues. Cells that have lost growth control usually stay or clump together to form tumors. A tumor can be non cancerous (benign) or cancerous (malignant). Benign tumors usually stay in one place in the body and do not erode in to the surrounding structures; on the other hand malignant tumors may erode in to the surrounding tissues. The malignant tumors may also erode in to the blood vessels and lymphatic vessels. After eroding, the malignant tumor cells may be showered in to the blood or lymphatic stream and may travel to different parts of the body, where they may start a secondary growth. This phenomenon of cancer cells traveling through the blood or lymphatic vessels, to form secondary growth in sites that are far away from the original tumor is called metastasis. When cells from a cancer like breast cancer spread to another organ like the lung, the cancer is still called breast cancer with lung metastasis, not lung cancer. The tissue type from which a cancer originates as well as the nature of the underlying genetic changes largely determines the behavior of that cancer. The lung metastasis from the breast cancer behaves like breast cancer and would generally respond to the same type of drugs used in the treatment of breast cancer. Again the type of cell from which the cancer originated will generally determine the speed at which it grows, and its resistance to treatment, but at the same cancers arising from the same tissue may often show marked variations in behavior. For example breast cancer in one person may grow very slowly over a period of several years, where as in another person with breast cancer, which is arising from the same cell type may have very aggressive course and may progress in few weeks.

          Cancers cause harm and damage to the body in number of ways. The very size of the tumor can interfere with nearby organs, or ducts, which carry important enzymes, causing pain or other symptoms. For example obstruction of the pancreatic duct may cause severe diarrhea, jaundice and colicky abdominal pain. The tumor may produce some chemical that may suppress the appetite, thereby leading to marked weight loss. Some types of cancers like lymphoma may cause fever, chills and night sweats. Some types of cancers like prostate cancer may co-exist with the patient for several years without causing any symptoms.

Chemotherapy after surgery in gastric cancer

Peritoneal carcinomatosis can be thought of as a series of events that together form a peritoneal metastatic cascade. The peritoneal stromal tissue may be a friendly host for tumour proliferation, providing a rich source of growth factors and chemokines known to be involved in tumour metastasis. Till now, our understanding of the molecular mediators that orchestrate this cascade is weakly understood. Astragalus memebranaceus,a traditional chinese herbal medicine used for the therapy of common cold , diarrhea, fatigue anorexia and cardiac diseases. In recent years, it has been proposed that Astragalus may possess anti-apoptosis potential in peritoneal mesothelial cell. In spite of this, the anti-apoptosis effects of Astragalus saponin extract in human peritoneal mesothelial cells during peritoneal carcinomatosishas has not been studied. In this study, the anti-apoptosis effects of Astragalus saponin extract were investigated in human peritoneal mesothelial cells during peritoneal gastric cancer metastasis.

A research article to be published on February 7, 2009 in the World Journal of Gastroenterology addresses this question. The research team led by Professor Hui-Mian Xu from Department of Oncology, The First Affiliated Hospital, China Medical University.Human peritoneal mesothelial cell line HMrSV5 was co-incubated with gastric cancer cell supernatant and/or Astragalus injection. Morphological changes were observed. Apoptosis was determined by transmission electron microscope. Apoptosis was also quantified by two methods: the detection of acridine orange/ethidium bromide-stained condensed nuclei by fluorescent microscopy and flow cytometry. The expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax were reviewed by immunostaining.

After 24h of being treated with gastric cancer cell supernatant, mesothelial cells presented morphological changes, exfoliation happened and naked areas appeared.

Cell supernatant from gastric cancer cell MKN45 were effective in inducing apoptosis in mesothelial cells in a time-dependent manner. Obvious morphological changes of cell apoptosis were found. Astragalus injection could partly suppress these changes, as well as regulate the expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax in mesothelial cells. These findings demonstrated that gastric cancer cell could induce the apoptosis of human peritoneal mesothelial cell through its supernatant. Astragalus injection could inhibit this kind of phenomenon and therefore, might represent an adjuvant chemotherapeutic agent in gastric cancer treatment.

Proton therapy and concurrent chemotherapy in lung cancer

Patients treated for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer who receive chemotherapy and proton beam treatment have fewer instances of bone marrow toxicity than patients who receive the standard therapy of intensity-modulated radiation (IMRT) and concurrent chemotherapy, as per scientists from The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center.

The findings were reported today at the 2008 Chicago Multidisciplinary Symposium in Thoracic Oncology, sponsored by ASTRO, ASCO, IASLC and the University of Chicago. It is the first study to examine the benefits of proton beam treatment and concurrent chemotherapy in advanced patients with lung cancer.
The conventional therapy for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer is intensity-modulated radiation with concurrent chemotherapy. The majority of patients with lung cancer who receive this treatment are at risk of bone marrow toxicity, a debilitating side effect of therapy that further weakens a patient's already vulnerable immune system. The occurrence of bone marrow toxicity - the reduction of hemoglobin, neutrophils, lymphocytes and white blood cells - results in a patient's inability to withstand aggressive therapy, rendering it less effective. This condition often leads to infection, bleeding, fatigue and even death.

Scientists compared bone marrow toxicity levels in 142 patients treated for lung cancer between January 2003 and June 2008. All of the patients received chemotherapy; IMRT was administered to 75, while 67 were treated with proton beam treatment. After 17 months, patients treated with concurrent chemotherapy and proton beam treatment experienced significantly less reduction in hemoglobin (0% vs. 4%), neutrophils (4% vs. 17%) and lymphocytes (54% vs. 87%) when in comparison to those treated with CT and IMRT. These differences remained when the gross tumor volume was considered.

"Our goal is to find the best way to treat the cancer without further weakening the patient," said Ritsuko Komaki, M.D., professor in M. D. Anderson's Division of Radiation Oncology and lead author on the study. "Standard care currently provides a 25 percent five-year survival rate. But as a physician, I have seen how therapy affects patients' overall health: they are tired, suffer from night sweats, are prone to infection and have to compromise their therapy. With proton treatment, we may now have an option that lessens this toxicity so that therapy dosage can be maximized."

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States, as per the American Cancer Society. In 2008, approximately 215,000 people will be diagnosed with lung cancer and approximately 114,000 people will die from the disease.

Proton beam treatment ionizes cancer cells by stripping away their electrons, consequently mutating the cells' DNA so that they cannot divide and proliferate. Protons are significantly heavier than X-rays, allowing them to travel in a straight path through the body without being deflected. While radiation treatment destroys both the tumor and the healthy tissue surrounding it, proton treatment can target a tumor precisely with little damage to normal tissue.

"This study suggests that proton beam treatment may benefit patients who are extremely vulnerable to bone marrow toxicity," said James Cox, M.D., professor and head of the Division of Radiation Oncology and the study's senior author. "Proton treatment may promise safer and more effective therapy for children, whose bone marrow is still developing, and elderly patients who are more prone to complications and cannot withstand aggressive therapy."

M. D. Anderson is currently working with Massachusetts General Hospital to enroll patients in an NCI-approved randomized prospective clinical trial to confirm these initial findings.

Cancer Cure

Cancer is one of the most diseases that cause millions of casualties every year and it becomes a must to understand the basic cure and underlying treatment methods for this deadly disease. Though the disease is not 100% curable, it is possible that one can get rid of it if treated at an early stage. Read on to understand how you can treat the disease with the various methodologies involved.

• Chemotherapy

This is a most common cancer cure which kills the diseased cancerous cells by means of drugs. In case of chemotherapy, the drugs destroy the DNA within the tumor cell as a result of which the cell dies. The drugs are given on a particular frequency to ensure that maximum cells are killed over a period of time. As the cells die not immediately but after a period of time after the chemotherapeutic process, repeated doses are required so as to reduce their numbers. The drugs in the chemotherapeutic process are normally administered through IV or injection, though sometimes pills and creams are also used. Chemotherapy is most of the time used as a follow-up treatment mode after surgery though is used as initial treatment option in cases of advanced levels. Though it is a common method of treatment, the side effects caused by chemotherapy needs to be taken into account before proceeding with it. The treatment can create side effects like fatigue, loss of weight, hair loss, bleeding, swelling, anaemia, appetite loss, constipation, etc.

• Biologic Therapy

The basic underlying fact that the immune system can fight the disease and prevent it from spreading is used in this kind of cancer cure. Substances that occur naturally in our body are given back to our system to improve the immune system. The different modes of therapy include stimulation of body conditions to produce more of the natural substance or man-made alterations and production of the natural substance which is then given back to the body. This method is also known as biological response modifiers or immunotherapy, etc. Though natural substances are administered to the body, this method also involves side effects which might be due to the excessive production of the substance by the body. These biologic substances are given into a patient’s body by intra-venous, intra-muscular, injection or through under the skin methods.

• Radiation Oncology

This cancer cure mode involves the use of high energy radiations which penetrate into the body and destroys the cancerous cells. The radiations are mostly specific to abnormal cell that rapidly reproduce though it also at times destroys normal cells. The radiations destroy the cell DNA structure thus preventing them from reproduction. Hence this method helps eliminate the abnormal cells or put a stop to their rapid growth and spread. To eliminate or diminish the effects caused by the radiation therapy, the dosages are normally spread across in small quantities over a period of time.

Radiation therapy is a kind of local therapy where in the rays are concentrated more on the diseased areas and not spread throughout the body like chemotherapy which becomes a systematic therapy. Depending on the way they are administered, the radiation therapy is of two types, external radiation therapy and the internal or Brach therapy. In the external method, the radiation is given to the patient by means of a device kept outside the patient’s body. Sometimes, radioactive substances are sent inside the body and the radiations concentrated near the diseased area and such cases are known as internal radiation therapy. Substances like radioactive iodine are used as radioactive materials in cases of internal radiation therapy methods.

• Surgical Oncology

This is the branch of surgery that deals with surgical management of cancer. Many times removal of cancerous tumors or areas can help prevent the spread of the disease and can bring in a cure for it. The recent branch of medicine has bought in cryosurgery methods where the extreme cold created by liquid nitrogen is used to destroy the cancer cells. The cryosurgery can be used for both external and internal tumors by different ways of administration.

• Targeted Therapies

When drugs prevent the growth of cancer cells by modifying the specific molecules involved in the tumor growth, they are said to be targeted cancer therapies. They concentrate more on the molecular and cellular changes that are associated with the cancer cell thus being more effective than the other traditional methods. The focus that is bought in by these drugs also reduces the damage done to other normal cells. This is a cutting edge technology which deals with the drugs and destroys cell development. With medical advancement in full swing, more and more targeted therapies are currently in the research phase in clinical labs. These targeted therapies work in a planned manner where they focus and block cell proteins which guide the cell on cell multiplication and co-ordination. Thus without the signal on how to divide, the cells die and this process is known as apoptosis. Sometimes these drugs also improve the immune system and make the body find the cells and destroy them directly.

The above list of methods for cancer cure is just the top of the iceberg as modern medicine has introduced many more treatment options specific to each kind of cancer. Treatments like gene therapy, hormone therapy, photodynamic therapy, proton therapy and vaccine therapy are other different ways of handling the disease. You can talk to your physician about all these kinds of cancer cure methods and the side effects each pose. Your physician will be able to select the best one for you based on factors like the type and size of tumor along with the level to which the disease has spread.

Other than these, complementary medicines also offer many natural cure for cancer and you can always consult an experienced and licensed practitioner for the available options. But remember to inform your health physician of any alternative medications that you adhere to as they might have effects on the disease and your body.

Burning cancer

How to cure cancer by Burning cancer out of your body with capsaicin 

• Cancer, as a class of diseases typified by out-of-control cell growth is very prevalent nowadays. It is one of the top killers around the world. According to World Health Organization, different forms of cancer were responsible for 6.72 million deaths worldwide in the year 2000. It accounted for 7.4 million deaths in 2004. Cancer, as we all know is the uncontrollable formation of abnormal cells in the body.

• Dealing with cancer is very complicated. The modern treatment of cancer like chemotherapy can be as frightening as the disease itself. Chemotherapy destroys cancerous cells, but the side effects that include nausea, loss of appetite, and hair loss side effects of chemotherapy are serious medical conditions that also need prevention. Because of this, cancer patients keep on looking for alternative forms of treating such disease.

• One alternative medicine for treating cancer is capsaicin. Capsaicin is an active compound found in chili, chili pepper and cayenne pepper. It is an odorless, tasteless antioxidant. This component gives chili its unique hotness. Because of this exceptional attribute, it is used as a flavoring agent to many cuisines around the globe. In addition, it was also discovered that it can be a good ingredient in weight loss pills, treatment of inflammatory diseases, sinusitis and nasal congestion relief and others.

• The greatest discovery regarding capsaicin is that it can cure cancer. A research published by American Association for Cancer Research (2006) found that capsaicin inhibits the growth of Androgen-Independent, p53 Mutant Prostate Cancer Cells. Another study conducted by researchers at Nottingham University in the UK Nottingham University in the UK led by Dr. Timothy Bates discovered that capsaicin is able to attack tumor cells' source of energy and initiates cell-suicide but leave the healthy cells in its good condition.

• The above study of Dr. Bates and colleagues learned that capsaicin attacked the tumor cells' mitochondria and this leads to the production of ATP, the activated carrier which gives energy to organisms. According to Dr. Bates, countries like Mexico and India whose people are accustomed to very spicy food end have lower number of cancer patients because of the healing feature of Capsaicin found in chili, chili pepper and cayenne pepper.

• The research by Samuel Oschin Comprehensive Cancer Institute together with The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) discovered that Capsaicin destroy a significant amount of the developed cancer cells and can hinder the development of the cancer infected tumors. They used mice in proving this. According to them, Capsaicin destroyed about 80 percent of the developed cancer cells growing inside mice. After the treatment with Capsaicin, they learned that there is 20 % significantly decrease of tumors in mice.

• It was confirmed by above researches that Capsaicin targets cancerous cells and does nothing with the healthy ones. It is important to bear in mind that while Capsaicin does show promise in treating cancer, eating too much of it can be harmful. Thus, knowing that it contains multiple health benefits, it is always safe to consume chili peppers from mild to fiery.

B–17

Dr. Hans A. Nieper of Germany has this to say about B–17:

"In 1848, a substance was presented at the Society for Medicine in Moscow, which apparently had an obvious effect on some forms of cancer. While I was in Freiburg in 1951 for my state examination as a physician, I had to evaluate a patient with a stomach cancer. One of the chief physicians in the group of medical examiners present recommended that this substance be tested on the patient. It was a bitter almond substance, one of the so-called beta-cyanogenic glucosides. There are a good 50 of them in nature, the best known being amygdalin, Vitamin B–17, prunasin, cassavin and ficin. Unfortunately, in the United States, the greatest and most depressing tragic comedy of modern medicine developed around these substances. It would be inappropriate to go into the history of the so-called laetrile affair in the United States, although I am, of course, quite familiar with the details. As an explosive internal issue, the laetrile affair has almost attained the order of magnitude of the Vietnam conflict. I still do not see how some of the exponents of official American cancer medicine, and certain bureaucracies in Washington, are going to emerge from this affair with clean hands. The effect of this bitter almond substance is not strong, and can be observed only if the defense mechanisms are in operation. In any event, it can and was clearly proven both clinically and experimentally, with positive results, at both the famous Sloan-Kettering Institute in New York, and at the Pasteur Institute in Paris. An enormous suppression story was leaked to the press by a member of the New York institute. A rather mysterious "testing" in five clinics, including the famous Mayo Clinic, led to the strong suspicion that certain oral (not intravenous) doses of laetrile were tested after having been previously and intentionally "contaminated" at the National Cancer Institute in Washington, with a certain highly poisonous cyano urea combination. Officially, a "purification" was admitted.

The " dot on the i " to the whole affair was supplied by the clever Japanese. Within the organism, the bitter almond substance ( Vitamin B–17, amygdalin, laetrile ) decomposes into cyanide, which is immediately detoxified, and (then) into benzaldehyde.

From an entirely different perspective, the Japanese found that benzaldehyde had a very positive effect against cancer cells, which additionally is very interesting from the point of view of its biochemical mechanism. The Japanese supplied ample basic information, and both the experimental and clinical results were quite remarkable. In 1980, an official journal of the National Cancer Institute of the United States reported, nicely wrapped up, on the excellent results obtained in Japan with benzaldehyde. The fact that this is the active principle in the infamous "laetrile" was presumably only noticed later. Once again, orthodoxy does have its element of stupidity.

The Point of this entire affair is not whether the preparation is particularly effective or not. It is a matter of scientific and moral integrity. Today benzaldehyde and mandelonitriles are important tools in the hands of tumor specialists, even though they do not perform miracles. Orthodox medicine, of course, has no such offerings.

Incidentally, during the degradation of the bitter almond substance by the organism, a second substance with a cancer inhibiting effect is formed, thiocyanate. Both chemically and in its action, it is related to allicin (from garlic) and allyl-isothiocyanate (from horseradish). Perhaps it is due to the relatively low cancer inhibiting Protective action of these substances that orthodox medicine does not offer them.

To complete the Picture, a technical paper originating at Columbia University in New York was published, reporting that the cyanide released by the bitter almond substance was transformed inside the cancerous cell into a metabolite that is specifically cancer inhibiting. The normal cell cannot accomplish this particular transformation. The attempt to use the deviant ionic balance of the cancer cell as a starting point for cancer therapy has been quite successful, and in a direction other than that of sodium elimination from the cancer cell through the already mentioned taurine. The cancer cell contains far more hydrogen ions than a normal cell. Therefore, its pH value is lower than that of normal cells. If one succeeded in removing the excessive hydrogen ions and thus raising the pH value, this might stop many of the metabolic processes sustaining the malignancy of the cancer cell. It would be like removing the sparkplugs from the cancer cells. In fact, the long and highly respected American physicist and chemist, Keith Brewer, succeeded in translating this concept into a realistic treatment program.

The cancer cell takes in rubidium and especially cesium, both elements that, because of the special characteristics of their electron shells, absorb free hydrogen ions. Cesium is particularly effective.

For the rest of the organism, cesium is very harmless in the doses used in treatment, even following prolonged application.

Animal experiments and clinical results with this treatment, which only became known in the United States during the second half of 1981, are, in fact, remarkably good. Because of the nontoxic nature of the method, its effects on cancerous tumors in man are obviously better and more interesting than the effects of well-known toxic chemotherapy measures. Care must be taken, however, with this therapy of hydrogen ion neutralization in the tumor cell, to insure that the organism's immune and detoxification systems are in full operation as much as possible. In any event, this therapy is appropriate even when the tumors already have considerable volume. Results in Germany confirm those obtained in the United States.

Of course cesium therapy requires daily supplementation with potassium, and it belongs in the hands of well-trained specialists — as is often stressed in the USA.

The physicist and chemist Keith Brewer was a determining factor in implementing the isotope separation required for the manufacture of the American atomic bomb during World War II. It is understandable that this great accomplishment in the battle against cancer is psychologically very satisfying to him. It should not be necessary to mention that this important development is not an orthodox medicine offering either. Quite the contrary, the famous physicist Brewer is snubbed by the orthodox American cancer establishment despite of his great accomplishments.

Even urea in the amount of 7–15 grams daily has obviously spectacular effects on certain forms of cancer — especially advanced cancer of the liver. Although in 1974 Dr. Danopuolos, Professor at the Greek Cancer Clinic discussed this in detail in the British magazine "Lancet" this path was not further pursued by orthodox medicine. This therapy is very inexpensive, mostly harmless and can be administered for a prolonged period. The underlying principle seems to be an antiviral effect. The effect of the urea therapy is limited to cancers, which are known to be started by the foregoing viral infections. This is true for liver cancers (hepatitis B) and for oral tumors (herpes virus).

A further method to detoxify the cancer cells from the inside consists of the introduction of L-glutathione, a compound with sulfureous amino acids. Known results up to now permit prediction of benefits from this treatment.

The insights gained, which encompass the already mentioned cancer retarding or cancer-preventing "supervisory" steroid, DHEA, are new and fascinating for expert and layman alike. About 60% of all people have enough of this substance in their blood to be sufficiently protected from the occurrence of cancer in their organism; although, as previously mentioned, some other factors, e.g., the blood type, complement levels and lymph-cell-bound tumosterone activity are additional contributors to the outcome. In the meantime, it has become possible to determine the level of DHEA in the bloodstream. If it is too low, it can be increased. The American company Searle produces DHEA synthetically. More elegant, possibly, is a method to turn on the DHEA production of the body itself. Apparently, this can be accomplished with a delay time of several weeks, by the already mentioned squalene. When the DHEA level in the (blood) serum rises to a value of more than 3.3 mg/L, even threatening cancer tumors go into remission, of course, only under the assumption that the complex chain of further defense mechanisms is still functional or is repaired. The DHEA has, to be precise, only a retarding effect on the metabolism of the cancer cell and the extracellular "little bodies" mentioned. Further work is up to the body's own elimination system.

Certain observations suggest that the DHEA-Sulfate, which circulates with the blood, must first be de-sulfateded by a special factor so that it can become effective against cancer cells. This de-sulfateded factor originates possibly from the pineal gland, a brain appendix, and/or from the thymus gland.

About 40% of the people probably have absolutely or relatively too little DHEA in their blood. A little less than half of these develop a latent cancer which, however, during their lifetime will not reach the importance of a manifest illness. About 22% of all people die from a manifest cancerous illness. The deficiency of DHEA, and an increased deficiency due to the onset of cancer, are correlated with interesting peculiarities of the personality. Such people are, as a rule, not very aggressive, yes, decidedly "dear." They are mostly somewhat depressed, or at least somewhat inactive. And above all, they frequently suffer from "weak decision making ability", especially in the realm of business.

The extreme opposite of weak decision making ability is not decision making strength, as would seem to be the case. It is recklessness.

I wish to present still one more comment. In my total experience of observing several thousand-cancer patients, only two cases became known to me, which manifested criminal potential. On the other hand, no doubt, recklessness goes hand in hand with criminal activity. Will it some day be possible to eliminate the criminal potential in afflicted persons by the manipulation of steroids (like DHEA) within them?

This would be only too good, and it would fit so perfectly into the new and hopeful Tachyon Age.

I am quite confident that it is possible to bring this disease under control, something that to date, unfortunately, has not been the case. It is important to start protective therapy immediately after a tumor operation, for an indefinite period of time, even if at first no further tumor is evident. This protective therapy should be based partially on the aforementioned considerations. Naturally orthodox medicine as a rule does not offer such proposals and, to the contrary, frequently misinforms patients when these questions arise." ...

... "The clinic for tumor research in Essen, Germany, considered quite orthodox, implies that continued chemotherapy, because of its toxic effect, can damage the body's own immune surveillance system. "Therapeutic measures such as chemotherapy and irradiation impair certain cellular functions that are decisive for defense against tumors. This fact should be considered in the therapy concept."

Brain Cancer Vaccine

In traditional medicine brain cancer is always deadly.

Here, however, is something that holds enormous promise for the future and the beginnings are already working.

What if you could take a cancerous tumor out of somebody, put it in a Petri dish and throw everything but the kitchen sink

at it to kill it, and, once you have killed it you have a vaccine which you then inject into the Patient.

Sounds simple, right?

Here it is:

Almost a year to the day after learning he had the deadliest form of brain cancer, Steve Holl was dancing at his daughter Eryn's wedding.

"To have my dad there was just one of those moments where you really want to stop time," Eryn Holl says. "You want to look at him and hold on tight."

Fewer than one in three patients with Holl's type of cancer, a glioblastoma, have traditionally survived a year, let alone been well enough to dance.

But Holl, 61, has something going for him beyond radiation and chemotherapy -- a custom-made vaccine.

Holl (pronounced Hall) received the vaccine as part of a clinical trial at the University of California San Francisco.

"The approach that we take is we actually do the surgery. We take the tumor out, and then we make the vaccine directly from that individual patient's tumor. And then give that vaccine back to the patient," says Dr. Andrew Parsa, who heads the trial.

Glioblastomas have been particularly deadly because no matter how skilled, neurosurgeons cannot remove the entire tumor. Some cancer cells remain hidden in the brain and eventually grow back -- usually within months. It's in the family of brain cancers that claimed the life of Sen. Ted Kennedy.

So far, Parsa's ongoing clinical trial is beating those odds. More than a year into the trial, none of the eight patients who have received vaccines made from their tumors has seen cancer return.

"It's really, really encouraging," Parsa says, adding that it's too early to draw any big conclusions.

The vaccines are designed to alert the body to cells that don't belong and trigger the body's immune system to attack multiple points on the cancer cells.

How many vaccine doses patients receive depend on how much of the tumor surgeons are able to remove. Holl had the first of 14 vaccine doses in February.

Using a vaccine to fight cancer makes sense to Holl, a biologist who lives in Folsom, California.

"Smallpox works, polio works," says Holl. "You're allowing your own body to combat the cancer, which is an irregularity anyway."

Parsa envisions someday treating glioblastomas as a chronic disease, rather than a death sentence.

"I don't think that it's appropriate to use the word cure with glioblastoma. We really want to turn this into a chronic disease like hypertension or diabetes that allows you to take medicine to live a normal life," he says.

Parsa's research is being funded by a combination of federal grants and donations from advocacy groups such as the National Brain Tumor Society.

"This trial would not have happened without the support of patient advocacy groups," Parsa says.

In addition to UCSF, Columbia University and Case Western Reserve University are also testing the vaccine, and the clinical trial may expand to more hospitals.

In the past month, Holl has walked Eryn down the aisle and celebrated his 36th wedding anniversary. He is upbeat about the future.

"I'm really hopeful that the vaccine works and I can get another 20 years of life," Holl says.

Why can't we do this with other types of cancer?

BEC5 Skin Cancer 2

Do you believe it that there is a product which will help you survive skin cancer not only for a year or two but for a lifetime. You can see the success within three months. There are lot of cases which will prove this statement. This product does not harm healthy cells.

This research has been conducted by Royal Hospital London and not by some private company. But medical fraternity is not taking it very seriously. Only one doctor is convinced about its effects. He was convinced that taking help of Mother Nature is the best way to cure skin cancer. He was bent on changing things incorporated in modern medicine.

It is hard to believe that an extract of eggplant is very effective in curing skin cancer. Some researchers know this for around 20 years. It was Jonathan Wright who published this truth and accepted it. A research was conducted by Royal Hospital London which used a form of extract of an eggplant and this was termed as BEC5. In this experiment the doctors took into consideration both invasive and non invasive non-melanoma skin cancer. They were surprised by the end results. These results showed better performance than surgical procedures. By this process it was ensured that cancer does not make a comeback. Chemotherapy or other treatment procedures do not guarantee of the reoccurrence of cancer. This is considered as a major breakthrough in treatments for cancer.

Thus, it has become necessary to go through this non invasive procedure. In this regard we have to undertake a study of how an eggplant works as a miracle in curing skin cancer. Eggplant is an alkaline food. BEC5 works effectively because it contains a plant sugar called rhamnose. BEC5 recognizes rhamnose and binds it to the cancer cell.

The endogenous lectins enter the cancer cell and destroy them. This process produces a minimum side effect. You will find that your skin has become red. You can also experience shedding of unwanted skin cells. Your skin which is affected is required to be washed off with mild antiseptic. Be very careful and avoid contact with your eyes.

The treatment with this eggplant ranges from a period of 7 – 60 days. The success is dependent on the continuous application of this medicine. This treatment should not be used by those patients who are allergic to eggplants. It is also to be noted that application of BEC5 is forbidden on moles.

BEC5 Skin Cancer

BEC5 / Curaderm contains a specially purified plant extract from the Solanum Sodomaeum, the so-called Devil's apple- which is found in the Australasia region. The extract, known as Solasodine Glycosides, (0.005%) is also found in smaller quantities in the eggplant and aubergine.

After two decades of research and clinical trials, biochemist Dr. Bill E. Cham, has discovered that BEC5 when applied topically can eradicate non-melanoma skin cancers, specifically:

Basal cell carcinomas (BCC).

Squamous cell carcinomas (SCC).



BEC5 cream has also been shown to be efficacious with benign tumours, including:

Keratoses.

Keratoacanthomas.

Sun spots.

Age spots.



Numerous clinical trials in Australia and Great Britain have confirmed BEC5's ability to regress non-melanoma skin cancers. In one open study with 72 patients, treatment with BEC5 cream resulted in the regression of all treated lesions (56 actinic keratoses, 39 BCCs and 29 SCCs), with 100% healed after 1 to 13 weeks of treatment.

Recent trials in 10 UK hospitals found that a twice daily topical application of BEC5 cream to the affected areas gave a complete remission to 78% of the patients within 8-weeks. The remaining 22% of patients had also improved and needed longer treatment times, all this was made possible without chemotherapy, radiotherapy or surgery.

The dermatologists at the Royal London Hospital concluded that: "BEC5 is a topical preparation which is safe and effective, an ideal therapy for outpatient treatment... It is a cost effective treatment for both primary and secondary skin cancer care."

Furthermore, the histological analyses of biopsies taken before, during and after treatment give compelling evidence of the continuing efficacy of BEC5 because treated skin cancer lesions have not recurred for at least 5 years after cessation of therapy.

BEC5 cream is therefore recommended to be used to treat areas of the skin that may have become discolored, thickened or scaly as a result of exposure to sun (UV) light. These areas of the skin are known as keratoses. BEC5 cream is effective to treat true malignant skin cancers such as the non-melanoma basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. To date, it is estimated that more than 80,000 people have used BEC5 and shown below are just some of the results achieved with BEC5 cream:

BEC5 works because it contains a plant sugar called rhamnose, (which is not usually found in mammalian species). Specific endogenous lectins, (which are receptors for the sugar part of the glycoalkaloids) are present in the plasma membranes of susceptible cancer cells, but they not present in normal cells. Therefore BEC5 recognizes and binds the sugar rhamnose of the glycoalkaloid to the cancer cell. Subsequently, this enters the cancer cell and causes cell death by destroying the lysosome.

Side effects to date have been limited to skin reddening, although during treatment erosion, ulceration and shedding of unwanted skin cells is also likely to take place.

Clean the area to be treated with a mild antiseptic (to remove old skin cells). BEC5 should be applied relatively thickly to the area at least twice daily and a micro pore placed over the area. The eyes should be avoided. If any excess occurs, wash and wipe away with cold water. Application should continue for a minimum of 7 days and a maximum of 60 days, this time dependant upon the size, need and regularity of application.

BEC5 should not be applied to moles and melanomas. Furthermore, BEC5 should not be used by persons who are allergic to eggplant or aspirin. For full details please see the approved use leaflet below.

A 20 ml. bottle of BEC5 can provide enough material to treat one large skin cancer, two medium sized ones, six small ones or twelve sun spots.

Apart from the need to "treat" cancer, BEC5's efficacy to help remove and protect against sun spots represents a major step forward in the prevention and "control" of skin cancers. Its ease of use, cost effectiveness, proven efficacy and safety all represent a very significant breakthrough for majority of skin carcinomas, which are by far the most common forms of cancer.

Baking Soda and Cancer 2

breakthrough we have come to know that baking soda helps in preventing as well as curing cancer. Baking soda is a safe substance and hence can be used to treat cancer.

Did you know that you can cure cancer with ordinary baking soda? Well, yes, this is true. Recent researches have shown that it helps in diagnosis of cancer during its initial stages. Also, cancer can be successfully treated by using baking soda. Oncologists are aware of the fact that bicarbonate is very useful to protect their patients from toxic chemicals which are emitted during chemotherapy.

A new treatment with sodium bicarbonate or baking soda is providing hope for cancer patients. An Italian oncologist Dr. Simoncini has provided a breakthrough in treating cancer patients by using baking soda. He uses baking soda by directly injecting at the cancer site. According to his theory, cancer is caused by fungus called candida albicans. Baking soda is an effective anti fungal substance. Injecting baking soda into cancer site makes its PH acidic balance to turn into alkaline kills the fungus before the germs adapts itself.

Baking soda is a safe substance which can be safely used to form the basis of treating as a natural chemotherapy. Baking soda’s action is very dramatic because it changes are very conducive when its conditions are acidic. Bicarbonate is available in our blood naturally. You can mix baking soda with maple syrup to prevent or cure cancer. But this theory is not scientifically proved. For this you are required to mix 3 parts of maple syrup with one part baking soda. Stir this syrup over a low heat to prepare an effective concoction. Take this syrup once every day for 2- 3 months.

Cancerous tissue helps in turning bicarbonate into carbon dioxide. The oral administration of baking soda helps in reducing the harmful effects of radiation exposure. Baking soda is very protective, has buffering properties and also neutralizes to protect the kidneys and other tissues. Baking soda helps in clearing the messes and clears away the toxic articles. This helps in leaving behind the alkaline trail which acts as a safeguard. Thus, baking soda acts as a security personnel and guards against the toxic chemicals which are entering our bodies.

Sodium bi carbonate should not be used alone. It has to be used in conjunction with magnesium chloride, iodine and selenium plus. This type of treatment enhances ph of tumors and has reduced formation of metastases in mice with breast cancer. Baking soda is very diffusive and hence very effective in curing cancer.

Thus, baking soda brings hopes to many people in curing cancer.

Curing Cancer with Baking Soda

Wouldn’t the delusional physicians and the big pharmacology swindlers be embarrassed to find that cancer could be cured with nothing more complicated than ordinary baking soda? Well, no, they wouldn’t be embarrassed because they would be outraged. All of their billions in profits vanishing in a twinkle, would not have these betrayers of Mankind at all happy with such a simple cancer cure. And yet, cancer can be cured with nothing more complicated than ordinary baking soda. And I will explain how.



While the greedy physicians and the cancer industry robber barons have been using every imaginable method for treating the symptoms of cancer, and while millions of people have suffered and died under the most astounding variety of mechanical, chemical, bio-technological and radiological absurdities, little progress in curing cancer has actually been made. And why? Well, to understand why, you would have to understand who is treating cancer before you can understand why it is not being cured. Who are these cancer physicians who claim to know so much yet fail to do anything useful?



Firstly, they are people who admit that they don’t know the cause of cancer or how to cure it. And yet they insist that they be allowed to “practice medicine” anyway! These oncologists admit that no matter what they do, you are going to die anyway, and so why not let them do something since they can make better use of your money than you can. Even though they admit that they don’t know what they are doing, they offer you just two (and only two) choices: (1) let them cut-poison-irradiate-and-transplant you which includes a free estimation of how long you will live or (2) do nothing at all which also includes a free, but much shorter, estimation of how long you will live. And so, with such limited choices, most people prefer to bequeath their savings account to the doctors for choice number one. At best, the physicians promise to drug you into unconsciousness so that you do not feel any pain either from your tumors or from their billing department.



But what happens if you don’t take their advice and choose alternative medicine, instead – you know, the choice that the doctors never mention to their patients? Since it has been proven that hospital patients live longer when the doctors go on strike, then alternative medicine is obviously better than a placebo. But they never mention that, either.



Secondly, these oncologists with all of their fancy degrees and years of microscopic confusion are really nothing more than disciples of fraud. This fraud is known as “symptomatic medicine”. And these cancer physicians prove their idiocy on a daily basis by classifying cancer as a “disease”. Would it be a joke on them if it was discovered that cancer really is not a disease at all but merely a “symptom” of something else? Hundreds of millions of dying cancer patients would certainly not be laughing. And millions of billionaire Big Pharma swindlers would not be laughing, either. Would it be a joke if it was discovered that cancer is not a disease at all and that these swindling greed-bags were actually mistaking the symptoms for the disease? I don’t think there would be much laughter in finding this to be true; but it is true. And here’s how this simple cure works.



The cancer quacks who are known as “modern physicians” (or oncology engineers), all know that there are many things that cause cancer. Does this ring a bell in their mighty brains? No, of course not. If there are many things that cause cancer, then how can cancer be classified as a disease? Isn’t it true, rather, that the many causative agents are the disease while the manifestations of tumors and malignancies are actually the symptom? This may seem strange but think about it a bit. And you alternative practitioners had better think about it a bit since the physicians have already proven that they are on the wrong track and haven’t thought about it enough.



If many things cause cancer (radiation, chemicals, viruses, sunlight, etc.) then even the dumbest physician knows enough to remove the primary cause. So, patients who work in the bright sun or in chemical factories are advised to avoid these situations. Hooray for the doctors who have common sense! But why are they so few?



Once you remove the primal cause, you are still left with a growing malignancy. (I am referring to the growing tumor and not to the doctors and the Big Pharma executives, themselves.) This cancerous growth has certain attributes that the idiot doctors overlook because they have been trained to use the most expensive methods possible for producing the largest possible profit for themselves and for their hospitals and for their drug suppliers. And after extracting all possible savings accounts, checking accounts, real property and insurance benefits, they send the dying patient home after saying, “We have done everything that we can do.” No, I don’t think many people will be laughing to discover that cancer can be cured with baking soda.



But even after the primary cause of the cancer is removed, why do the cancer cells keep growing? The doctors say because cancer is a disease. However, these practitioners of “symptomatic medicine” are mistaking the disease for the symptom. It is more accurate to say that the cancer is not the disease, itself, but is rather the symptom.



The maniac oncologists cut and radiate and poison and burn the cancer cells in an attempt to kill them. But the alternative practitioner prefers to let the powerful defenses of the body do all the work. And why? Because the body can take care of itself just fine as long as you provide it with what it needs to do the necessary healing. In this case, first remove the causative factors of cancer (such as the oncologists and Big Pharma robber barons) and then get to work on the underlying causes.



All cancer has some common denominators that the physicians think are inconsequential. But if you think about it a little bit, you will see that the oncologists are full of themselves and not full of knowledge. What they think is the disease, is actually the symptom. And what they think is inconsequential is actually the tiny, little cause for all of this suffering and disease. It’s a joke on the doctors, but nobody is laughing.



Here’s how it works. Normal cells that turn cancerous have specific jobs to do. Brain cells do brainy things, heart cells are on a bungee-jumper’s rush, liver cells strain today’s whiskey, kidney cells strain the beer and save the water, bladder cells hold the nasty stuff that the others strain, and skin cells enjoy a good suntan on a summer day. They all do different jobs. But when they turn cancerous, they throw all of that specialization aside.



Cancer cells do not evolve; they devolve. They do not perform the task specified in the blueprints of DNA, but they rebel and go it alone. Cancer cells give up being a high level technical worker in the body and become instead the lowest form of life. Worse than any truant teenager – all they do all day is eat, excrete, reproduce and do it all while holding their breath. While holding their breath? What is this little detail that is overlooked by the oncologists?



That’s right. Cancer cells don’t require a lot of oxygen to live. In fact, it is this low oxygen level that allows them to thrive. Or to put it in a way that even a physician can understand: Cancer cells become cancerous not because they are the disease but because they are normal cells reacting to the causative factors of disease. That is, cancer cells become cancer cells because they are normal cells that cannot live in any other way. They are following the First Commandment of Life: “Thou must live”. And in order for them to live, they must give up their specific functions in the body and devolve to a lower level of Life that is not so demanding of them. They become cancer cells in order to survive, not because they want to be cancer cells.



From this perspective you can say that cancer is normal. It is not a disease but rather it is the reaction of certain cells in the body to stress factors that cause these cells to choose de-evolution to a cancerous state as a means of cellular survival. They give up being highly advanced cells – brain, heart, liver, kidney, skin, etc. – and take a step downward to a lower function. They become cancerous as a survival strategy because nature only gives them this choice – or they must die. Cancer is the reaction of cells to various factors that will cause their death if they do not devolve to a lower, cancerous state.



Of course, the Big Pharma scoundrels and the physicians-for-hire want to “treat” cancer. Yes, they have devised a trillion “treatments” none of which do any good except to their bank accounts. There is a lot of money in “treatments”. You can talk about “treatments” for years. You can offer your customers … I mean, your “patients” … years and years of the latest and greatest of treatments. Treatments! Treatments! Treatments! Forever! And all of this time, while the victims are suffering and dying and giving the hospitals their last pennies in vain, the doctors can avoid ever, ever mentioning that most forbidden word of modern medicine – “cure”. And why? Because if they actually cure anyone of cancer, then they can’t get them back for any more treatments!



And yet, cancer is easily cured with nothing more complicated than baking soda. But before telling you how this is done, I want to review something that the Johns Hopkins Hospital has stolen from the alternative medical professionals. They sent out a newsletter in 2007 that has also been circulated by the Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Although their newsletter did not credit any alternative health practitioners or natural healing groups as to the source for their information, it was gratifying to see that what Naturopaths have been saying for over seventy years is finally being acknowledged by the swindlers of the Medical Monopoly. I will briefly review the main points of this newsletter below so that you Naturopathic Health experts and you idiots in the entrenched Medical Monopoly are all using the same language when you yell at each other.

All naturopaths already know these things but because it was new to the physicians and oncologists, here briefly is what the Johns Hopkins Hospital newsletter stated:

(1) “Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells.
(2) “Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer cells are being starved.”
(3) “Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.”
(4) “A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).”
(5) Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water – best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic. Avoid it.”
(6) “Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup.”
(7) Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.
(8) “Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6 , Flor-ssence , Essiac , anti-oxidants , vitamins , minerals , EFAs, etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.”
(9) “Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, un-forgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment.
(10) “Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.”
(11) And this ends the good advice that the Johns Hopkins Hospital tosses out … then forgets entirely about. Although they make some basic errors with their assertions because they don’t really understand natural nutrition, it does contain almost everything that naturopaths of all varieties have been practicing and teaching for many years. But it does not give credit where credit is due. The physicians purloin our knowledge and take it for their own discovery and then they bill their patients for the information that we freely give while pretending to be physicians of great learning. And so, let’s leave these medical maniacs and show how cancer is easily cured with nothing more than baking soda. You will need the above ten points to put the puzzle together. And I will leave you and the physicians to argue about the above data which they have plagiarized without fully understanding.

The newsletter makes much of the importance of avoiding acidic and seeking alkaline but they do not know how to put two-and-two together to make any sense out of the information that they have stolen from us. They do not understand the cheap and easy and effective Naturopathic Way because they follow the fraudulent and profitable and expensive way of symptomatic medicine.



One of the much-overlooked “minor” details of cancer cells is that they thrive in a low oxygen environment. When the body is not able to fully oxygenate, these cells must either die of asphyxiation and toxic build-up or they must devolve to a lower state of existence where they can live and grow without so much oxygen. They become cancerous because there is not enough oxygen for them to remain normally functioning.



In point #1, above, the physicians rightfully state that cancerous cells feed on sugar. Actually, all cells feed on glucose. They absolutely do not seem to understand the difference between what glucose and sucrose do to the blood. What the physicians are missing is that the sucrose table sugar, the white flour products, the red meats, dairy products, coffee, candy and soda pop that the hospital provides from the hospital kitchen and from the Coke and candy machines on every floor, are bad enough on their own. These are the junk foods that the patients, themselves, got sick on. What the physicians do not understand is the blood chemistry that these junk foods unbalance. Yes, they take the necessary chemical tests. But they do not understand their own data because they are looking for a complicated treatment when the simple cure is staring them in the face.



Everybody knows how to stick a toy balloon on the wall after rubbing it on your head. It will stick tightly during dry weather but maybe not at all during damp weather. This is because the electro-static charge is strong during dry weather but gets leaked away during damp weather. Well, the same principle applies to how oxygen sticks to the blood cells during oxygenation, but in an ionic fluid instead of in an electrostatic gas.



As blood cells pass through the lungs, there is a very delicate balancing act that takes place between their cell surfaces and the ionic charges of the surrounding plasma. As they pass through the lungs, these purple-colored blood cells have the ionic charge that they received when picking up carbon dioxide. In contact with lung oxygen, this charge gets reversed so that the carbon dioxide drops off and the reversed charge attracts and picks up oxygen molecules. As their ionic charge reverses as they pick up a full supply of oxygen and their color changes from purple to red, these oxygenated blood cells are carried along through the body until they get into the vicinity of body cells that have a surplus of carbon-dioxide and need some oxygen. At that point, the ionic charges again reverse as the oxygen drops off and the carbon dioxide is attracted and sticks to the blood cell which once again changes to a purple color and is carried to the lungs. Yin and yang, a changing balance of polarities.



But just like a toy balloon that cannot stick to the wall in wet weather, oxygen cannot stick to a blood cell if the ionic balance of the blood is acidic. This is what the physicians and oncologists are overlooking. Every damned one of them has observed the ringing alarm bell going off but have muffled their ears and closed their eyes because they are looking for some expensive and complicated cure for cancer when both the cause and the cure are actually very simple.



They observe that cancer thrives in an acidic environment but they feed their patients sugar, white flour, red meats, ice cream and cake for dessert at just about every meal. They observe that cancer dies in a high oxygen environment, but they treat their patients to a choice between Coke and Pepsi from the vending machine down the hall. It is either much too simple for them to understand or else they are a witless part of a greedy and voracious conspiracy against the health of all of Mankind. Those are the only two choices, Doctor; take your pick.



The ringing alarm bell that the physicians are overlooking is the blood pH. Every cancer patient that I have ever seen, all without exception, had an acidic blood pH. But while the oncologists are pumping the patient full of chemotherapy, pizzas, pancakes, cokes, ice creams, hamburgers and fries, sweet rolls and jams, followed by radiation and surgery, they are ignoring the fact that cancer thrives in a low oxygen environment.



Oxygen cannot stick to blood cells if the pH of the blood is acidic. And rather than do everything that they can to raise the pH back up to a normal pH of 7.4 so that the blood can function properly, they prefer surgery. All of the advice that they have stolen from naturopathic medicine about “deep breathing” will do them no good at all. You can breath pure oxygen until you catch on fire but if the blood pH is acidic, then the oxygen will not be able to be picked up by the blood cells. It is chemically impossible. The blood must be normal and normal blood has a pH of around 7.4 pH. Any vestigial traces of oxygen that the acid-drenched blood cells manage to pick up are stripped off early by the oxygen-starved cells along the way and never reach the deeper parts of the body where oxygen is most needed. And because the pH is acidic, carbon dioxide also is not transported efficiently and so builds up within the tissues leading both to cell death and to a cell-to-cancer de-evolution for survival.

So, yes, cancer can be cured with ordinary baking soda. Bicarbonate is found in the blood naturally for the very real purpose of neutralizing acids. Therefore, those who want to cure your cancers should first follow the stolen advise found in the above newsletter. Not that the oncologists understand or follow this advice, themselves, but since they stole it from naturopathic medicine at least we can all agree that it is good advice. So, go to the health food stores and change your diet immediately.



But also do this: Take a pinch of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) into your mouth, run it around your teeth and gums with your tongue while being sure to reach into the deepest parts of your gums and teeth and swallow it three times a day – more or less depending on how you feel. Also, drink a glass of water containing a teaspoon of baking soda before going to bed each night. But don’t over do this. Baking soda can kill you if you take too much of it. Take just a little bit and see how it makes you feel. If you feel okay, then take some more. Don’t overdo it but don’t be afraid to experiment. After all, the doctors experiment on you every time you go to see them as they “practice medicine”. So, why not experiment on yourself and save the money and the pain. But by all means change your diet to a natural and alkaline diet. And make baking soda a part of that diet.



The physicians will charge you a lot of money to take a pH test of your blood, but you can start monitoring the pH, yourself, by purchasing some pH test strips from a pharmacy. Test your tongue pH in the morning as well as your urine pH. Practice some yoga or Tai Chi Chuan or other deep breathing exercises and go on long walks to enjoy fresh air and your days on Earth. As your blood pH moves back up to the alkaline side of the chart, your deep breathing will fully oxygenate your blood. The cancer cells cannot survive all of that fresh oxygen so they die. And your T-killer cells, being full of vigor, will kill the cancer cells that remain. It’s as simple as that.



This is not advice that a cancer doctor will give you but it is advice that you can take whether you accept his treatments or not. After all, the normal pH of your blood is 7.4 but if the doctor wants to treat you without regard to what is normal, then maybe you should put yourself in Nature’s hands rather than his. If cancer is normal, then it would be normal for everybody to have cancer. But since it is not normal and since it thrives in situations that are not normal, then doesn’t it make sense to seek the things that are normal so that the cancer just disappears? A physician or oncologist who ignores the pH of your blood and does not know how to make it normal once again, is not qualified to be treating you in any way whatsoever. Avoid such physicians for the idiots that they are.



And whoops, oh dear! I am afraid that tooth decay is also cured with this simple remedy because baking soda kills decay-causing germs on contact. Will the purveyors of toothbrushes and pastes and drilling and filling and billing be pleased? No, those greedy betrayers and swindlers will not be pleased at all. They want you to be sick. But the sweet, happy smile of good health is the natural state of Mankind.

Average Cancer Risk

A U.S. health task force specifically recommends against aspirin for people with an average cancer risk.

A new report from British scientists suggests that long-term, low-dose aspirin use may modestly reduce the risk of dying of certain cancers, though experts warn the study isn't strong enough to recommend healthy people start taking a pill that can cause bleeding and other problems.

In a new observational analysis published online Tuesday in the medical journal Lancet, Peter Rothwell of the University of Oxford and colleagues looked at eight studies that included more than 25,000 patients and cut the risk of death from certain cancers by 20 percent.

While some experts said the analysis adds to evidence of aspirin's potential to cut cancer risk, others said it falls short of changing advice to healthy people, and it failed to show the benefits apply equally to women.

The trials mostly compared men who took a daily dose of at least 75 milligrams of aspirin for heart problems to people who took a placebo or another drug. On average, the studies lasted at least four years.

Researchers used national cancer registries to get information on participants after the studies ended, though they weren't sure how many aspirin takers continued using it or how many people in the comparison groups may have started.

The researchers said that the projected risk after two decades of dying from cancers like lung and prostate would be 20 percent lower in groups who had taken aspirin and 35 percent lower for gastrointestinal cancers like colon cancer. These odds are figured from smaller numbers — there were 326 lung cancer deaths in all, for example.

Only one-third of people in the analysis were women — not enough to calculate any estimates for breast cancer. There appeared to be no benefit to taking more than 75 milligrams daily — roughly the amount in a European dose of baby aspirin and a bit less than the baby aspirin dose in the U.S.

The analysis left out a high-quality experiment that tested aspirin every other day in nearly 40,000 U.S. women. No reduction in cancer risk was seen except for lung cancer deaths in that trial.

No funding was provided for the new Lancet analysis but several of the authors have been paid for work for companies that make aspirin and similar drugs.

Scientists said it would take some time to digest the study results and figure out which people should take aspirin.

Eric Jacobs, an American Cancer Society epidemiologist, called it a "major contribution" and said the study results, in addition to previous research, suggested aspirin's effects on the risk of dying from several cancers "appear likely."

Others said the study wasn't strong enough for doctors to start recommending aspirin.

"I definitely think we wouldn't want to make any treatment decisions based on this study," said Dr. Raymond DuBois, a cancer prevention specialist who is provost of the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.

One concern is that the studies were designed to look at cardiovascular risks, so the groups of people being compared may differ on things that affect cancer risk, such as family history of the disease. DuBois also questioned drawing conclusions about people's cancer risk beyond the several years they were tracked.

Aspirin has long been recommended for some people with heart problems. But it can have serious side effects, like bleeding in the stomach and intestines, and poses risks in groups like the elderly who are prone to falls.

"Balancing the risks and benefits of aspirin is really important and probably something that needs to be done on an individual basis," said Ed Yong, Cancer Research U.K.'s head of health evidence and information. He was not linked to the study.

"If anyone is considering aspirin on a regular basis, they should talk to their doctor first," Yong said. He warned people should not think of aspirin as a guarantee against cancer and other prevention strategies like not smoking and keeping a healthy body weight were essential.

Artemisinin may prevent breast cancer

The Chinese herb compound Artemisinin may prevent breast cancer, say researchers from the University of Washington. It’s also a new buzz treatment for malaria, by the way!

The compound, extracted from sweet wormwood Artemisia annua L, cut the development of breast cancer by 40 per cent in rats that had been given a cancer-causing agent.

Artemisinin has previously been shown to selectively kill cancer cells, and is already used as an effective anti-malaria treatment. "With the results of this study, it’s an attractive candidate for cancer prevention," said researcher Henry Lai.

The study, published in the January 2006 issue of Cancer Letters (vol 231, issue 1, pp 43-48), used rats treated with a single dose of DMBA (50 mg per kg), a compound known to induce multiple breast cancer. The rats were then randomly divided into two groups, with one group’s feed supplemented with 0.02 per cent artemisinin.

The rats with the supplemented feed showed a 40 per cent lower incidence of breast cancer formation than the control group. In addition, the tumors that did develop in the case group were smaller and fewer.

"Since artemisinin is a relatively safe compound that causes no known side effects even at high oral doses, the present data indicate that artemisinin may be a potent cancer-chemoprevention agent," said the researchers.

Artemisinin works by reacting with iron in the body and forming free radicals that attack the cells from within. Cancer cells replicate at a higher rate than normal cells and so have a higher concentration of iron. This makes artemisinin highly toxic to the cancer cells.

The same mechanism is responsible for its anti-malarial properties. The parasite that causes malaria cannot eliminate the iron from the blood cells it eats and stores it. The artemisinin makes the stored iron poisonous to the parasite.

Artemisinin is now a major component in the treatment of malaria in China, Vietnam and other areas of Asia and Africa.

But the results of the present study were greeted with guarded optimism by Dr Emma Knight, science information officer for British charity Cancer Research UK.

She says, "These findings in rats are very interesting but more work is needed to assess whether artemisinin could have a role in cancer prevention in humans."

Dr Knight stressed the importance of investigating naturally occurring compounds, however, and exploiting the potential health benefits that may be on offer.

"Contrary to popular belief, a number of anti-cancer drugs are derived from natural sources. The periwinkle, yew tree and African bush willow are just some of the plants that have an important place in the treatment of cancer today," she said.

They always say that: it saves them the brain work of immediately responding to new possibillities. You might suspect it would take an Act of Parliament for some of them to take notice. You would be right!

Appendix Cancer

By : Brijesh Ghelani

Appendix cancer is one of the rarest forms of cancer and also one of the deadliest. Statistics show that it attacks approximately 600 to 1000 people a year and on the average every one of the dies. Most studies don't even give a survival rate but simply put on the charts "very poor".

Appendix cancer usually doesn't become apparent on its own account but rather when the patient is being treated for something else because there usually aren't any symptoms.

Appendix cancer is usually divided into two groups, carcinoid tumors and non-carcinoid tumors.

Carcinoid tumors are usually found in women in their forties and most of them are found on the tip of the appendix, located in such a way that they do not obstruct any of the normal bodily functions and therefore do not give any warning signs. Small ones that have not become cancerous are usually dealt with simply by the removal of the tumor and the appendix. Larger ones require more aggressive surgery, and the right colon and lymph nodes in that area are usually removed in addition to the appendix and the tumor. This type of surgery is known as cytoreductive surgery. It is sometimes but not always followed by intravenous chemotherapy.

Non-carcinoid tumors, also known as mucinous cystadenocarcinoma, grow on those cells which make up the lining of the inside of the appendix, known as the epithetial cells. In the production of these tumors, the epithetial cells form a gelatinous substance known as mucin.

Non-carcinoid tumors are apt to spread more rapidly through the abdominal region than are carcinoid tumors. Non-carcinoid tumors often become life threatening bowel obstructions. At this point, symptoms such as weight loss, atrophy of the muscles, loss of appetite and fatigue, abdominal pain and bloating, nausea, vomiting, constipation or diarrhea and the inability to pass gas become apparent, but only when the tumors have reached the last stages. It has also been noted that in these last stages some people develop a low temperature.

When a diagnosis of appendix cancer has been made, the patient often works with a team of doctors rather than one specific doctor to determine some sort of treatment plan.

Because of the very dire prognosis of appendix cancer, the patient is often encouraged to consider working with some sort of clinical research which is being done.

In being a volunteer to participate as a part of clinical research, the patient is given the opportunity to try the latest possible drugs that are being tested for appendix cancer. They will be given the best care possible, with the understanding that these drugs may not work, yet maybe, just maybe they will. They'll be helping not only themselves but the medical professionals doing the research and maybe, just maybe, others who get this dreadful disease.

Infomation About Anal Cancer

Taking into consideration the annual rates at which people, men and women, have contracted anal cancer over the past several years, medical statistics indicate that there will be over five thousand more cases diagnosed this year. While this is a large number of people, in comparison to other forms of cancer, this cancer is considered rare.

Before we go any further, let's define exactly what anal cancer is. This cancer develops in the area of the anus, which is part of the gastrointestinal tract. It is that part of the body from which fecal matter is discharged from the body when one has a bowel movement

It is also important to know that even though we use the term anal cancer to identify several different kinds of cancer, this cancer is indeed not just one form of cancer but several. This kind of cancer is determined by the kind of cell from which it is developed.

The most common form of anal cancer is that which is called squamous cell carcinoma. This kind of cancer develops in the outer lining of the anal canal.

Cloacogenic carcinoma is a form of anal cancer which is quite similar to squamous cell carcinoma. It is found between the outer part of the anus and the lower part of the rectum.

This form of cancer known as adenocarcinoma develops from the mucous glands which are located under the anal lining.

The last two forms of anal cancer are different from the others in that they are skin cancers. The first is basal cell carcinoma. This form of cancer develops in the skin around the anus.

The second form of anal cancer which is a skin cancer is known as melanoma and it forms in the cells of the skin or the anal lining that darkens the skin.

The symptoms which appear which might indicate some form of this cancer are bleeding from the anal area, pain and/or pressure in the anal area, itching from the anus, discharge from the anus, a lump or a swelling near the anus, a change in bowel habits or some sort of change in the size of the fecal matter.

Please keep in mind, if a person experiences one or even all of these symptoms, it does not necessarily mean that they have this cancer. They may be an indication of something completely different. But they are an indication that a visit to one's doctor is indicated.

There are different ways in which anal cancer are treated, depending upon the type and on the stage which it has reached. Some times doctors will advise surgery, usually followed by radiation and chemotherapy, some times radiation and chemotherapy without surgery. The doctors will help and advise, but the final decision will be up to the patient.

Common Cancer Types

This list of common cancer types includes cancers that are diagnosed with the greatest frequency in the United States, excluding nonmelanoma skin cancers:

Cancer incidence and mortality statistics reported by the American Cancer Society  and other resources were used to create the list. To qualify as a common cancer, the estimated annual incidence for 2010 had to be 40,000 cases or more.

The most common type of cancer on the list is lung cancer, with more than 222,000 new cases expected in the United States in 2010. The cancer with the lowest incidence is leukemia. Leukemia as a cancer type includes acute lymphoblastic (or lymphoid) leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, chronic myelogenous (or myeloid) leukemia, and other forms of leukemia. It is estimated that 43,050 new cases of leukemia will be diagnosed in the United States in 2010, with chronic lymphocytic leukemia being the most common type (approximately 14,990 new cases).

Because colon and rectal cancers are often referred to as "colorectal cancers," these two cancer types are combined for the list. For 2010, the estimated number of new cases of colon cancer and rectal cancer are 102,900 and 39,670, respectively, adding to a total of 142,570 new cases of colorectal cancer.

Kidney cancers can be divided into two major groups, renal parenchyma cancers and renal pelvis cancers. Approximately 92 percent of kidney cancers develop in the renal parenchyma, and nearly all of these cancers are renal cell cancers. The estimated number of new cases of renal cell cancer for 2010 is 53,581.

The following table gives the estimated numbers of new cases and deaths for each common cancer type:

Cancer Type	Estimated New Cases	Estimated Deaths
Bladder	70,530	14,680
Breast (Female – Male)	207,090 – 1,970	39,840 – 390
