Beating Cancer Gently A Short Course

http://www.beating-cancer-gently.com/sc1.html
Feeling overwhelmed with the challenge of cancer? Want to take control of your life and treatment? I can help you. I can show you options which work permanently to control your cancer in a gentle, non-toxic way. You can learn how to locate a doctor to supervise your care who is sympathetic to these treatments. It is no longer necessary to settle for the "big three" of conventional cancer treatment -- surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Today's cancer patients die for only three reasons: 1) Lack of information; 2) Lack of discipline; and 3) Blind trust in their cancer doctors. MY STORY On November 1, 1994, my former wife, Marjorie, passed on. She had lived a wonderfully productive and really unique life. I loved her dearly. Watching her being treated by the conventional cancer "system" etched memories that will never go away. I was puzzled and frustrated by the barbaric nature of the treatments and the extreme pain she endured for four years. I saw dozens of other cancer patients hooked up to IVs and submitting to what seemed horribly toxic and ineffective "treatment." Nobody was able to explain the cause of this mysterious invader gradually eating away at my wife's vitality and life force. "Is there no better way?" I wondered. Beginning in 1998, I became aware of the tidal wave of information building on the Internet about cancer (and everything else!). I vowed to take Marjorie's advice and "turn lemons into lemonade." I began researching the book that became an e-book in November, 2000. I have updated it continuously and rewritten it three times since then. Today, it is also available as a "real" book. The latest edition, called "Cancer-Free (Third Edition)" is the result of nine years of feedback from doctors, nurses, cancer researchers, cancer survivors and cancer "crusaders" like me all over the world. WHY YOU NEED TO GET SMART ABOUT CANCER When you first walk into the oncologist's office after your cancer diagnosis, you need to be smarter than he or she is about cancer. What? Smarter than the cancer specialist? Yes. Exactly. If you want to survive your cancer and get your cancer under control, you need to be smarter than your oncologist. Why? THE CANCER "SYSTEM" All conventional cancer treatment today is driven and controlled by drug company money and investment in "equipment." Any competition is brutally suppressed, with the cooperation of our Federal and State governments. Many books have been written on this subject, some better than others. One especially good one is "Politics in Healing," by Daniel Haley. The fact of the corruption is very real. Don't you be a victim of it. A FEW FACTS

* Since the 1930's in the U.S. alone, over 350 treatments for cancer which are gentle and non-toxic have healed cancer patients. Some treatments have healed hundreds. Many have healed thousands. I know many of the people who have been healed by them. Why won't you hear about these from your cancer doctor? Because they are all natural substances. Therefore, they cannot be patented and offer no profit to the pharmaceutical companies. This simple fact drives all conventional cancer treatments. * Since 1971, when President Nixon declared "War on Cancer," cancer deaths per 100,000 population have risen steadily. If you were the General in charge of this "war," you almost certainly would have scrapped your strategy for something different by now. Instead we, the taxpayers, keep funding the National Cancer Institute (NCI). This year their budget request is for $6.2 billion (with a "b") of your tax money. This agency was established in 1937. Not once in their 72-year history have they honestly tested even one of the 350 "alternative" substances mentioned above. * 55% of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) executives are employed by a pharmaceutical company when they leave the FDA. Several ex-Congressmen are among the 1,214 full-time lobbyists for "Big Pharma" in Washington. The pharmaceutical companies are the largest contributors to political campaigns. * The average cancer patient generates $1,300,000 of revenue for the cancer treatment "system" before they die. This is invisible to most cancer patients because much of it is covered by private insurance or Medicare/Medicaid. Over 1.2 million Americans are diagnosed with cancer each year. Over 570,000 Americans die of their cancer every year -- 1,500 every day. Cancer treatment is REALLY big business. * According to Forbes magazine, AstraZeneca made $630 million in 2001 on one breast cancer drug. Thay call it Nolvadex (commonly known as Tamoxifen). Why has the name been changed? Because the original patent for this drug was issued in 1972. It has been extended, as is typical for expensive prescription drugs, by manipulation of the filler and packaging and other trivial changes made by AstraZeneca to extend the life of the patent and avoid cheaper generic forms of this drug. * Have you ever wondered why a drug company would spend $200-500 million testing a new drug? Tamoxifen aka Nolvadex alone has made AstraZeneca and its predecessor companies over $18 billion in the last 36 years. Forbes estimated that AstraZeneca would make $2.6 billion in 2002 on cancer drugs alone. * Because of politics, our government's Medicare system encourages the fraud and abuse that is rampant among oncologists. For example, the chemotherapy drug Etoposide is sold wholesale to oncologists for them to administer it to cancer patients in their office. The cost to the oncologist is $7.50 for a 100mg dose. The allowable Medicare reimbursement, however, is $129.24 for that same 100mg dose. The consumer (you and I) pay a co-payment of $25.87 for this dose -- almost three and a half times the doctor's cost! Medicare pays the rest from our tax dollars. * According to the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), the average oncologist makes $253,000 a year. Of this, 75% is profit on chemotherapy drugs administered in his or her office. All of these drugs, like Tamoxifen and Etoposide, treat the symptoms of cancer, not its causes, and make the patient's condition worse. * A recent survey of the 64 oncologists on the staff at McGill Cancer Therapy Center in Montreal found that 58 of them (91%) said they would not take chemotherapy or allow their family members to take it for cancer treatment. Why not? Too toxic and not effective. Today, 75% of cancer patients are administered chemotherapy. Go figure! * Very few oncologists advise their patients that there are dozens of substances available which are inexpensive and effectively offset the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation. Why? They just don't know about them. They're too busy to study what my readers and I study -- or too close-minded -- or both. * The long-term survival rate of cancer patients with metastasized cancer treated with chemotherapy is 3%. Most of the "alternative" substances I discuss have long-term survival rates of 50-70% when used alone (few of them are used alone). Combinations of different and compatible "alternative" substances boost survival rates to 90% or more.

* A recent survey by Life Extension Foundation found that 80% of cancer patients take some "alternative" substances for their cancer. Half of them do not tell their cancer doctor what they are taking. Obviously, this is a sad testimony to the "ignorance and arrogance" of the cancer treatment "system." Enough? Do you see why you must be aware of the cancer treatment environment before you "submit" to treatment? Our medical system has been completely corrupted by drug company money. You and I are not going to be able to change this in our lifetimes. What we can do, and what I'm dedicated to helping you do, is survive chronic, degenerative diseases like cancer by being aware of this and taking charge of our own health care. Knowledge is power. More on how to do this in the next article. By the way, I'm just a "reporter," not a medical professional. I'm not selling anything except my books, which you'll find at this website.

What Is Cancer, Anyway?

Cancer is not some foreign invader which has to be cut, burned or poisoned in hopes that it will die before the patient dies. No, cancer is simply a temporoary malfunction in your normal cell division process. Each of has about 75 trillion cells in our body. Virtually all of them replace themselves many times during our lifetimes. How many cells? Well, it's 75,000,000,000,000. That's a lot. They have various life cycles, but in about 7 years, they have all been regenerated. Amazing? I'll say! So, on an average day, about 29 billion cells in your body replace themselves by dividing in two. One of the cells resulting from that division dies off. CELL EFFICIENCY Our cells all breathe in oxygen and breathe out energy. This process is critically dependent on the health of our cell membranes. A great book on this subject is "Biology of Belief" by Bruce Lipton, Ph.D. In the 1920's, Dr. Otto Warburg, a German M.D. established the nature of the cancer cell. He found that it was a cell whose oxygen intake had been reduced by more than 35%. To survive, these cells turn into fermenting cells. That is the nature of the cancer cell. It ferments glucose, abhors oxygen and divides out of control. These cancer cells exist in our bodies every day. Our immune system destroys them. That's part of its normal function. When, because of lifestyle choices (think food), emotional traumas or excess toxins (from root canal-filled teeth, for example) the number of these fermenting cancer cells grows beyond the capability of our immune system to handle them, we "get" cancer. Good, efficient cellular communication means we don't get sick. Unfortunately, our habits gradually break down this vital communication. For example, the excess sugar (sodas and virtually all processed food) we consume results in too much insulin being produced by our pancreas. This builds fat cells and damages the cell membranes of all healthy cells. The same is true of our eating too much red meat and other animal protein. Our diets contain very little of the essential fatty acid called "Omega 3." Just another cause of weak cell membranes and cancer. Our diets lack sufficient iodine, magnesium, Vitamin D, selenium and other essential health food. Actually, all of us "have" cancer every day. It is controlled and gives us no symptoms. When symptoms (a tumor, for example) show up, it means that our metabolism (cell division and cell death) has temporarily broken down. A tumor with a billion cells is about the size of the eraser on the end of a pencil. By the time a tumor is diagnosed, it has usually been growing for from 5 to 12 years. Far from a death sentence or something requiring instant, emergency, radical treatment, this "getting" cancer is a wakeup call.

The key to understanding and controlling cancer is that it is a "systemic" problem. Our entire system has broken down. Killing the cancer cells (with chemotherapy and radiation, for example) is not going to restore our system to its normal balance. All cancers have four characteristics: a weak immune system; low oxygen uptake by the cells; excess acidity; and excess toxins. All conventional cancer treatments make all four of these conditions worse. Once one understands this, our current conventional cancer treatment system makes no sense. WHAT DO ONCOLOGISTS DO? An "oncologist" is supposed to be a cancer doctor. But their training and practice does not include studying and understanding the cancer cell and its relationship to the rest of the body's cellular mechanics and communication. Cellular biology is a very complex and fascinating body of knowledge which is growing rapidly. If the oncologists understood the above, they would be looking for a way to reverse that cell physiology gently and in a non-toxic way (assuming they were honest and open-minded). That is how cancer is brought back under control -- gently and permanently. One M.D. who has "broken the mold" and treats cancer in a gentle and understanding way says that the docs calling themselves "oncologists" are actually "chemotherapists," not oncologists. Radiologists attempt to deal with cancer using radiation. This always has harmful effects on our body's ability to control our health -- our immune system. It, like chemotherapy, actually causes other cancers. "BUT I KNOW SOMEBODY WHO WAS CURED..." All of us have heard of people who have been "cured" of their cancer using chemotherapy. Remember Lance Armstrong? The chemotherapy poster boy? It so happened that Lance had one of the few rare cancers (testicular cancer) which can be effectively controlled using chemotherapy. In October, 1971, Dr. Gordon Zubrod, a leading researcher at the National Cancer Institute, presented a list of the cancer malignancies which were "highly responsive" to chemotherapy. All of these are rare in adults. But, most important, the list has not changed since 1971. Here it is: Burkitt's lymphoma; Choriocarcinoma; Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia; Hodgkin's Disease; Lymphosarcoma; Embryonal Testicular Cancer; Wilms' Tumor; Ewing's Sarcoma; Rhabdomyosarcoma; Retinoblastoma. That's it. In the 38 years since that list was published, there is no solid evidence that chemotherapy for the other, more common, cancers results in significant increased survival. One of my daughters was cured of Wilms' Tumor, a rare kidney tumor, when she was three using chemotherapy. But for all the other common forms of cancer (breast, colon, prostate, lung, ovarian, etc.) chemo may show a temporary shrinking of the tumor, what the cancer docs call a "response." Most of the time, the chemotherapy treatment eventually kills the patient. It killed my former wife. WHAT DOES CHEMOTHERAPY DO? Chemotherapy targets dividing cells. The multitude of tests of new chemotherapy drugs test toxic (actually carcinogenic, or cancer- causing) substances against particular kinds of cancer cells in live patients. Usually this is done with half the cancer patients in the test taking an older chemotherapy drug. When there is even slightly more "response" with the new drug, and over 50% of the test group on the new drug survives, a new cancer drug is approved. Unfortunately, no cancer drug has "eyes" for only cancer cells. These drugs kill any dividing cell. Where are some of your fastest dividing cells? In your hair and your gut. That's why chemotherapy causes you to lose your hair and get nauseous. But these drugs also cause long-term damage to your organs -- kidneys, liver, heart, etc.

Professionals Comment About Cancer Treatment

Many doctors have broken the conventional or "allopathic" physician mold and treat cancer and other "diseases" with the full array of available treatments -- complementary, alternative, integrative or conventional. Their common credo is "We treat people -- not diseases." These doctors are the ones I pay attention to. There are thousands of them today, all over the world. In Chapter 1 of my book "Cancer-Free," I list eleven website directories of these "holistic" doctors and clinics in virtually every country. They are Medical Doctors (M.D.s), Doctors of Osteopathy (D.O.s), Naturopathic Doctors (N.D.s), Chiropractors (D.C.s) and "others." Each of these websites has a feature where you can type in your Zip Code and you will be shown a list of these doctors in your area. In my experience, the letters after their names are far less important than properly interviewing them, which I also cover in Chapter 1 of my book. There are many of these doctors who publish information and comments about their profession. Here are some of the quotes which you may find interesting. 1. From an oncologist: "We have a multi-billion dollar industry that is killing people, right and left, just for financial gain. Their idea of research is to see whether two doses of this poison is better than three doses of that poison." Glen Warner, M.D., Oncologist 2. From a cardiologist and internist who treated 65,000 patients at his five-story hospital before he slipped on the ice outside his hospital and died from the blow to his head in early 2003: "There have been many cancer cures, and all have been ruthlessly and systematically suppressed with a Gestapo-like thoroughness by the cancer establishment. The cancer establishment is the not-too-shadowy association of the American Cancer Society, the leading cancer hospitals, the National Cancer Institute, and the FDA. The shadowy part is the fact that these respected institutions are very much dominated by members and friends of members of the pharmaceutical industry, which profits so incredibly much from our profession-wide obsession with chemotherapy." Robert C. Atkins, M.D., Author, "Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution" and founder, The Atkins Center in New York. 3. From a "holistic" physician who publishes a regular newsletter which I wouldn't miss because of his common sense. "I look upon cancer in the same way that I look upon heart disease, arthritis, high blood pressure, or even obesity, for that matter, in that by dramatically strengthening the body's immune system through diet, nutritional supplements, and exercise, the body can rid itself of the cancer, just as it does in other degenerative diseases. Consequently, I wouldn't have chemotherapy and radiation because I'm not interested in therapies that cripple the immune system, and, in my opinion, virtually ensure failure for the majority of cancer patients." Julian Whitaker, M.D. 4. An interesting quote from a drug company executive. "...90% of prescription drugs only work 30% to 50% of the time." Allen Roses, M.D., Senior Vice President, GlaxoSmithKline, at a London Conference in December, 2003. 5. From a professor at the University of California.

"My studies have proved conclusively that untreated cancer victims live up to four times longer than treated individuals. If one has cancer and opts to do nothing at all, he will live longer and feel better than if he undergoes radiation, chemotherapy or surgery." Professor Hardin B. Jones, Ph.D. 6. And from the only two-time Nobel Laureate. "Everyone should know that the 'war on cancer' is largely a fraud, and that the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society are derelict in their duties to the people who support them." Linus Pauling, Ph.D. 7. Finally, from the doctor with the second most popular medical website on the Internet. "There is no way to be nice about this. There is no point in raising false hopes. There is no treatment or vaccine in sight. There is no miracle breakthrough on the horizon. Medicine, as we know it, is dying. It is entering a terminal phase. What began as an acute illness reached the chronic stage about a decade ago and progression towards death has been remarkably swift and well beyond anything one could have predicted. The disease is caused by conflict of interest, tainted research, greed for big bucks, pretentious doctors and scientists, lying, cheating, invasion by the morally bankrupt marketing automatons of the drug industry, derelict politicians and federal and state regulators - all seasoned with huge doses of self-importance and foul odor." Joseph Mercola, D.C. and Nicholas Regush, journalist. I am a "reporter," not a medical professional. I will follow this up with another article, offering you some specific ideas which my readers have found useful for dealing with cancer.

To Prevent The Cancer Diagnosis, You Should....

All my experience watching people "get" and overcome cancer can be boiled down into one sentence: What we put in our mouth causes and reverses at least 85% of all degenerative diseases. Almost all of them can be avoided and overcome by correcting what we put in our mouth (just another way of saying the same thing). DIET So, first things first. Detoxify your body and avoid cancer (and all other degenerative diseases) by fixing your diet. Stop eating processed food (hydrolized this and hydrogenated that), dairy, red meat, sugar and other sweeteners (even honey and maple syrup), preservatives and chemicals. Stop drinking coffee and alcohol and using cigarettes and prescription drugs. Hmmmmm. Tall order. [Of course, I'm not recommending that you stop taking prescription drugs immediately. Consult your doctor. In Chapter 1 of my book are 11 website directories of "holistic" doctors who are sympathetic with this approach and will help you gradually eliminate your prescription drugs -- all of which have side effects and treat only symptoms.] Diet books abound. Virtually all of them are opinions, not science. The theories in one are contradicted by those in another. The only nutrition book I've read which is based on true science, peer-reviewed, etc. is "The China Study" by T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D. Read this book.

Did you know that many studies with fruit flies and mice (they live conveniently short lives) show that restricting your calories to 30-40% less than what you are now eating will extend your life expectancy by 40%, no matter when you start it. Amazing but true. The same effect can be obtained by fasting every other day. The Japanese are first in the world in life expectancy (average 81.9 years). The French are 7th. The U.S. is 43rd [according to the World Health Organization. Why do you think this is true? The average American eats 170 pounds of sugar every year. Junk food and processed food with no nutrients cut our life span by years and ensure most of us will suffer from prolonged degenerative disease before we die. Changing your diet is the least expensive and most productive thing you can do to improve your health and lifespan. I began getting this right when I married my present wife in 1995. I was 63. EXERCISE OK, you've heard it since grade school. Exercise is good for you. But did you know that gradually building up to one hour a day of strenuous exercise (where it is difficult but not impossible to talk to the person next to you) doesn't just benefit your bones, muscles, tendons, endurance, etc.? It also affects your cellular health and avoids cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, osteoporosis, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and virtually all other degenerative disease. Get clearance from your doctor, of course, and get supervision when you start by hiring a qualified trainer. Details of the program I use are in my book. I started a regular exercise program I've become "hooked" on when I was 60. What's your excuse? Age? Physical condition? Hey -- just do it! SUPPLEMENTS Just take "One-A-Day" vitamins and you're home free. NOT!! The so-called "Recommended Daily Allowances" (RDA) of vitamins and minerals are woefully below the optimum level you need to maintain vibrant health. There is no real excuse for this. There are thousands of studies of the effect of supplements and the best daily dosage. Unfortunately, if you try to follow these guidelines with individual supplements like Vitamin C, beta carotene, CoQ10, colloidal silver, selenium, astralagus, etc., etc. you will soon go broke. Better to find one of the formulas put together by knowledgeable health professionals. I mention the one I have used for about 18 years in my book. I am 78 and in perfect health. It is Dr. David Williams' Daily Advantage. It costs about $44 a month, but it has kept me healthy ever since I started taking it (and exercising regularly). You can get more information at Dr. Williams' web site: http://www.DrDavidWilliams.com/ or by calling Mountain Home Nutritionals in Ranson, West Virginia at (800) 888-1415. Unfortunately, they don't ship outside the U.S. If you live elsewhere, just look around. Good multi-vitamin/mineral supplements are everywhere. I get no compensation of any kind from any of the products I recommend. My conviction that this is the best, however, was reinforced recently when I read a book called "Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements," by Lyle MacWilliam, BSc, MSc, FP. The author had compiled charts which compared 500 "nutritional" supplements. Daily Advantage was not one of them. However, when I compared its ingredients with the "top 5" in the book using his "blended standard," it was better than any of them. Your age now is immaterial. Whatever age you are, whatever your current health condition is, starting a sound supplement program is essential. THE FOUR-LEGGED STOOL The above three "vitals" -- diet, exercise and supplements -- form what many have called a "three-legged stool of health." The idea is that if you neglect any one of the legs, the "stool" (your health)collapses.

Others have suggested that the "stool" has a fourth leg, which is spiritual faith. I don't try to cover it in my book, but there is evidence that it has a strong role in maintaining or regaining your health. Remember, I am just a "reporter," not a medical professional. Any changes in your health regimen should be discussed with your doctor.

Now That You "Have" Cancer, What's Your Strategy?

Your doctor has said the "C" word and you're puzzling: "What do I do now? There seem to be so many options. The doctor is pressing me to get on with the surgery and chemotherapy/radiation. Help!" I've been there. I know. Unfortunately for my dear wife, there was no readily available information in 1990-1994 (or, at least, I failed to find it)... Now, there's too much on the Internet and in books, newsletters, etc. A SOUND APPROACH Of all the hundreds of people I have now watched overcome their cancer, there seem to be four "essentials" that they all have. I call them the "Four A's." ATTITUDE -- all cancer survivors share a positive attitude. They know that they, not their doctors, are in charge of their health care. They also know that only they can heal themselves. No doctor can. I certainly can't. The spouse can't. But they can! They know that all cancers, regardless of type or "stage," can be brought back under control. They know that they must be skeptical about recommendations from their doctors for all the reasons you have already learned about our conventional medical "system." ADVOCATE -- Virtually all the cancer survivors I know also had a loved one or friend willing to help them. How? * To do the necessary research to get "smarter than their oncologist." * To accompany them to the doctor's office. * To help them decide when to get a second (or third, or fourth) opinion and help them find a "holistic" doctor. * To help them find and order the cheapest and best quality supplements. * And yes, to prepare the food and supplements and help them stay disciplined. Cancer patients often get depressed, tired or just plain disgusted with the struggle to overcome their condition. Get an "advocate." ASSISTANCE -- Cancer recovery is not a "do it yourself" project. Every cancer survivor has had supervision of their treatment and recovery by a qualified medical professional. The letters after his or her name are meaningless (M.D., D.O., N.D., D.C., etc.). What is important is that you, the cancer patient, literally trust them with your life Again, the resources for finding such a doctor through Internet directories are phenomenal. My book has eleven such web directories in Chapter 1. But don't neglect the "jungle" telegraph." Ask all your friends (who agree with your approach). I don't have cancer. But I did what I recommend you do and found my "holistic" doctor through a "holistic" dentist who had treated my current wife. ACTION -- Get on with it! Don't wait to begin taking useful supplements (Chapter 5 in my book) until you've found the perfect doctor. Start today. Cancer cells continue multiplying out of control every day. They're not at "Parade Rest" while you decide what to do. Time matters. Get going! IMMUNE SYSTEM STIMULATION

Whatever else you decide to do -- whether it's surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, alternative treatments or some combination of all of them -- you must build up your immune system -- immediately. One of the world's experts on the immune system who has treated hundreds of cancer patients told me he had never seen one with a strong immune system. With what you know about the nature of cancer, this should not come as a surprise. My immune system is controlling the cancer cells that exist in my body every day. Yours is not. End of story. A priority task for you now is to rebuild that immune system to where it is at normal strength -- soonest. How? Fortunately, you have many options, all of which work. They are not cheap. And they are not covered by insurance. Examples are Transfer Point Beta Glucan, RM-10, Immune-Assist, MSR-3 and Oncolyn. I cover all of them and more in detail in my book. You can look them up on Google and order one on the Internet today. Get one and get started taking it now. THE FIVE-PRONGED ATTACK A few cancer survivors used just one natural substance. That is not what I recommend. Almost all those I know used somewhere between 4 and 8 different substances. When they overcame their cancer, neither they nor their doctor could tell you for sure which one of the substances did the most work. Complicating it further, not everyone reacts the same to all substances. There are many variables: * * * * The The The The complexities of cellular "communication." various types of cancer cells. metabolism of the cancer patient. discipline he or she used in their diet, exercise, supplements, etc.

What's a cancer patient to do? My advice -- come at the cancer from at least six directions. What do I mean? Of the 350 or so "alternative" (I hate that word!) cancer treatments I am aware of, the ones I recommend use different theories for dealing with the cancer cells. Each is effective. None has a 100% effectiveness rating. However, by using several of them at once, you raise your odds dramatically of overcoming the cancer. They also meet three absolute criteria: * They are readily obtainable anywhere in the world. * They are relatively inexpensive. * They work for all types of cancer. In other words, I know personally many people who have used this type of mix and are cancer-free for months or years (in some cases 20-30 years). In the next and last article in this series, I will describe what I think are the best treatment options for this "mix." If you need complete information on this subject, you will find it in my book "Cancer-Free." To buy this book in e-book or paperback form, just CLICK HERE.

Specific Cancer Treatment Options

OK, enough of the philosophy! What, specifically, do I recommend you take to overcome your cancer and get "cancer-free." [We're not using the word "cure" simply because, as you recall, we're healthy with just a million or so cancer cells being produced every day by our cell division process.] So, you have gotten a start on changing your lifestyle -- diet, exercise and supplements. You have started on a program to stimulate your immune system. What's next? YOUR CAMPAIGN You're battling cancer. Don't kid yourself. It is a formidable foe. You don't just continue your normal routine of a stressful workday, emotional stress, travel, etc. You must make cancer your "life" until you overcome it. But you can overcome it, as millions of others have. I know several hundred of them personally and I admire each and every one. This is like a military campaign. You have to have a good strategy, and then, you must employ the best weapons.

I can't recommend specific treatments for individuals. There are liability problems with doing that. I'm a "reporter," not a medical professional. What I can do is describe for you what I would do if I "had" cancer. What type of cancer? It would not matter. I would pursue the same course if it were colon, lung, prostate, or pancreatic cancer -- or even if it were leukemia or lymphoma or melanoma. There are some specific things I would take, in addition, if I had certain kinds of cancer. These are discussed in detail in my book. But, in general, this is a regimen I would follow regardless of the type or stage of the cancer. THE WEAPONS * Immune system booster. The product I recommend has been tested against 36 other immune boosting products (some of which I've recommend in earlier years) and found to be superior. These tests were done in independent labs. This substance activates the neutrophil cells in your immune system to make them recognize cancer cells and destroy them. Since these cells are about 60% of your immune system cells, the effectiveness of your immune system at least doubles. It also pumps up the "Natural Killer" cells, the macrophages and all the 130 other types of cells in your immune system. * Cottage cheese and flaxseed oil. What? Are you kidding? No, dead serious. You'll find the details and lots of testimonials in Chapter 5 of my book. I can't go into detail here, but rest assured that thousands of cancer patients patients have been healed with this substance. It was first discovered in 1952 by Dr. Johanna Budwig, a German cancer doctor. She was nominated for seven Nobel prizes for her work with the science of lipids (fats) in human cells. She died in 2003 at the age of 96. I eat this every day for prevention. It's food (substitutes for at least one meal a day) so costs nothing...Nada. * Dr. Matthias Rath's formula. It is a mixture of Vitamin C, l-Lysine and l-Proline (two amino acids) and green tea extract. Not impressed? Well, this formula happens to control metastasis (the spreading of cancer cells). The only way cancer can kill you is through metastasis. Fortunately, there is a source for this formula which costs about one-sixth of what Dr. Rath charges for it. Their products, which copy the Dr. Rath formula are called "Heart Plus" and Green Tea Extract. You get a "double-whammy" because it also prevents or treats heart disease. * Barley Power from Green Supreme, Inc. This powerful stuff gives you 3,000 enzymes (all there are) plus a stiff dose of alkalinity. Cancer cannot survive in an alkaline body. This is the cheapest and best barley product I know of. Every cancer patient should take at least 20 of these tablets a day. Read the story of the 86-year old cancer survivor who recovered from Stage 4 metastasized stomach cancer using only these tablets. It's in Chapter 5 of my book "Cancer-Free." To buy the book in e-book or paperback format, just CLICK HERE. * Cancer-fighting diet. A simple list of five "no-noes" is described in detail in my book "Cancer-Free." Stay away from these and you will almost certainly overcome the cancer. Suggestions for a healthy diet are in my book, also. Cost: probably less than you're spending on food now. * Dr. Williams' Daily Advantage. I mentioned this in one of the earlier articles. It is the best vitamin, mineral, amino acid, antioxidant, essential fatty acid, superfood combination I have found. Total cost of this regimen, including the immune system stimulants I mentioned in the previous article is about $3.55 for the maintenance dose. For the first 6 weeks or so, the cost is about $5.15 per day. So for an initial cost of $155 a month and a continuing cost of $104 a month, you can be cancer-free. This is a lot less than most of us spend on a car payment or a couple of meals out each month, so don't worry about your health insurance coverage. The complete ordering information on all these products plus many others like Protocel, Paw Paw, Onconat I, Artemisinin, Crystal Calcium, Exercise With Oxygen Therapy, PC Essentials, Red Raspberry tablets and lots more is in my "Cancer-Free" book. THE SWIMMING POOL ANALOGY Let me close this "short course" with a mental picture I'd like you to take away. In my life, I have owned two swimming pools. No more. Too much maintenance. But one thing you learn early on about swimming pools is that algae formation in the water must be controlled. Once it begins to take over, the sides of the pool become coated with this "green mung" and recovery becomes difficult, but not impossible.

Today's conventional cancer treatment doctors (oncologists, radiologists, surgeons, etc.) remind me of SCUBA divers diving into the pool (your body) and blasting away at the algae in an attempt to kill it off and stop its growth. If you've ever tried to overcome algae in a pool, you know the only way is to correct the chemical composition (alkalinity, chlorine level, etc.) of the water. At that point, the pool becomes sparklng and attractive again. The algae dies off and is disposed of with a vacuum. The above regimen ("The Weapons") describes a way to bring the "chemistry" of your body back into sparkling, attractive health by correcting the normal balance of the pool's water (your body). That's my mission, folks. To convince people like you to learn the procedure and substances necessary to restore that balance. That's what I mean by "taking charge of your own health care." The dead algae (cancer cells) are disposed of by your body's normal "vacuuming" system. Too rapid a "die-off" of the cancer cells can cause problems with this cleansing system. That's one reason you need "assistance." The treatments I recommend are gentle enough that they can be taken until you find the perfect "holistic" physician to monitor your recovery. Get started!
