A recent
article published on March 23, 2017 in a local newspaper in Fresno,
Cal. (USA) was about a mom who beat (apparently) cancer while
pregnant while undergoing chemotherapy. However after giving birth to twins, a little later she died from heart failure. It is also questionable to me about the risk of taking chemotherapy while pregnant, but this we can discuss some other time.
This
unfortunate 30 year old woman was diagnosed with an aggressive form
of cervical cancer during her pregnancy and even after taking as the
article said, chemotherapy at Stanford University she later died. Now in my
clinic, having been confronted with all types and grades of cancer,
we already know that cardiomyopathy (heart failure) is caused by
chemotherapy. Therefore there are many reasons to protect patients
during chemotherapy along with some supplementation like CoQ10,
mostly indicated to protect the heart against the deleterious effects
of free radicals such as the hydroxyl radical family which strongly
reacts with the heart's mitochondria components and even damages the
genome which leads to the death of the patient.
Antioxidant
Intake During Chemotherapy
We can speak
about the carelessness of the conventional Oncology that denied the
use of antioxidants and COQ10 during chemotherapy since according to
them it may decrease the effectiveness of chemotherapy. In this
particular case can we say that everything was done by oncologists to
avoid the heart failure and the death of the mom? While
cardiomyopathy or peripheral neuropathy is caused by chemotherapy,
which the doctors already know, yet nothing is done about it. One day
I found a very interesting lecture online on cancer by a medical
doctor. However I was astonished with one slide which said, “After
all of what we know the patient is dying!” Not just from the
cancer but he gave a list of damage that leads to death from
chemotherapy treatment, can you believe this! But most people,
patients do not know or have any idea. Some hospitals in Lisbon
display posters on the wall in oncology patient waiting room for to
warn them against taking dietetic supplementation and antioxidants.
Very strange since so far no one has died from taking high doses of
antioxidants yet so many people die from the adverse effects of
chemotherapy without taking antioxidants. According to my experience
CoQ10, Vitamin E, SOD, beta-carotene, Vitamin C, methionine,
glutathione, Omega 3, are some of the antioxidants I suggest taking
during chemotherapy. During my lifetime of practice (50 years) I was
frequently confronted with similar cases of pregnant women diagnosed
with cancer but no one died from heart failure.
Conventional
Medicine is the Same Everywhere
Now the other
problem is also the mistaken belief that only chemotherapy treatment
is supposed to cure cancer itself and usually by going either to a
Stanford University or to a simple cancer hospital, the results are
usually about the same since they is based only upon
chemotherapy/radiation. I have had some experience with patients
flying to MD Anderson Center in Texas who came back with not much
results, the same as those going to Paris to be treated in reputed
hospitals, also with no result. People believe that treatment from
the Oncology Departments of reputed Cancer Institutes or treatment in
an Oncology department of a University will make a difference, but
usually not! You have also to ask oneself some questions.
Cancer
Patients Must Ask Themselves Some Questions
What more can
I do for myself besides chemotherapy? Can I help myself with other
treatments? We have to finish with the fictitious story that we see
cancer as localized disease but we are otherwise healthy and that
chemotherapy alone will destroy it. When I ask some patients coming
to me about how chemotherapy kills cancer cells they are unable to
answer me. This is not like shooting with a magic bullet that kill
something but it is associated with the cell cycle ( Read my previous
article, “What is cancer” ). Unfortunately so many people still
believe that chemotherapy/radiation is the only solution and refuse
to consider any other alternative. How many thousands of patients die
as consequence of chemotherapy? I was personally confronted with
cancer patients that were not convinced that we could do something
for them and had a strong iron-like belief in chemotherapy. This was
too sad because they died soon after.
Sometimes you
are confronted with an aggressive cancer and in this case such cancer
cells are resistant to chemotherapy and invade other organs more
quickly. Such cells are just minimally damaged by chemotherapy and
continue to divide and get even stronger, where medical protocol
becomes useless. In such cases I perform molecular markers testing to
see which oncogenes or inhibitors of apoptosis is highly expressed
and responsible for the cancer cell resistance. This can be also be
related to some activated receptors like the EGFR and HER2 in breast
cancer for instance. Survivin is one other inhibitor of apoptosis
usually overexpressed in breast and prostate cancer and if highly
activated can induce a strong cancer resistance to chemotherapy. I
will then target this gene to decrease or totally inhibit it's
activity as I have done hundreds of times and then you may expect
some better results from chemotherapy. Hyperthermia, Vitamin C,
antioxidant enzymes,homeopathic preparations in IV is very efficient
together with some chemotherapy and greatly help to kill resistant
cancer cells. One of my patients with a second aggressive breast
recurrence from a primary cancer diagnosed in 2003, but not treated
with me at the beginning but with some other colleague, developed
metastasis on the neck and ganglions was in a critical situation. In
fact in the spring 2016 she was going back for radiotherapy. As one
medical doctor said just for PREVENTION, since she was fine with my
treatment. I then told her if you do more radiotherapy you will get
worse, but even with her coming to my clinic the decision of medical
doctors is like the word of God, but it began to progress exactly
like I told her. In January 2017 she came to me with the relapse and
the CA.15.5, 239 very high. Well I got mad at her and this time I
told her that to try to save her it was best to go to the Integrative
Medicine Clinic of my colleague and friend, Dr. Joseph Brenner, a
highly regarded Oncologist in Israel, himself a victim of cancer.
This time she get really scared as well as her family. She is the
mother of a lovely little girls so she really had this responsibility
looking over her shoulder. Instead of returning to chemotherapy in
Lisbon she accepted this option and would be treated with
Hyperthermia, galvanotherapy, I.V. Vitamin C and some of my own
remedies while in Israel. After 2months of treatment her tumor
markers decreased by 50% and the ganglions on the neck were no longer
palpable which is a first positive result, but we need to wait more
for more results, but as I had said before she was too confident
about the benefit of chemotherapy/radiation but thank God she
realized that she had to do something different. 2 disease recurrence
are very difficult to treat because you may have cancer stem cells
that are very resistant to chemotherapy and the apoptosis channel.
Anyhow this was already a 14 years battle and will see if we can win
but its difficult to say At least she didn't die from heart
failure. Now this is an option for every one.
The disease
is not only the concern of doctor that in fact thinks only about
protocols but also your own concern as well. Now another interesting
example comes to mind while it is not one of my patient but a
Naturopath in USA diagnosed few years ago with a breast cancer of
8cm, stage 3. I know her because a few years ago she published a nice
book on Iridology and made contact directly with me asking for my
contribution in her book. I didn't hear any more news about her until
I decided to send her my new book published this year. She was very
happy to receive my book but told me that she had to face breast
cancer and agreed that she was eating junk food and had too much
stress . I have felt since the beginning of my practice that
Naturopathy was not only a medicine but a philosophy of life to live
better with rules for our patients, but even more for ourselves . Do
we believe in what we do and what we teach our patients? However she
decided to do something for herself and started a treatment before
having a mastectomy (Also wrong in my opinion ) and when coming from
surgery a new Scan showed an 8mm tumor only so she could avoid as she
way the barbaric surgery. After surgery however she refused as she
said to put poison back into her body and so no more
chemotherapy/radiation, having her doctors mad at her, as we can well
understand. She really changed her diet radically and started a
protocol with different vitamins, minerals, Pau d' Arco, Essiac tea,
Saga mushroom, insole-3-carbine, proteolytic enzymes, iodine and
more. She especially started a new way of life with Music therapy,
relaxation, physical exercise and it worked. As a result, even some
doctors said maybe the initial tests were wrong since as we know
medical doctors are usually uninformed about complementary treatment
which according to them has little or no efficacy at all. But here
we have a good example of what a person can do when facing a disease
like cancer.
Women
are Too Confident About What Medicine Can Offer
So we not
only have the problem of chemotherapy but also the problem of
patients that were as we often say, “Brainwashed” and run to
chemotherapy not doing anything to help on their own and they may
die as a result. Unfortunately the bad new is that women for instance
are more confident than they should be about the advancements in
medicine made in treating cancer. I remember a 40 year old woman, a
movie actor in Portugal coming to see me with an aggressive breast
cancer, who had already been taking chemotherapy for some time and
nothing else. Unfortunately It was too late when she came to my
clinic, I didn't see her again but one month later I read in the
local newspaper a large article about her tragic death not from the
disease but from a chemotherapy collapse. Last week I saw in my
clinic a 42 year old woman with breast cancer. When she started
chemotherapy she had no metastasis but after 6 months of treatment,
metastasis had spread to her liver and bones and she was suffering
from pain. So I told her what can you now expect from chemotherapy.
She answered me that she was afraid to arrest treatment and preferred
to continue. We knew that soon these patients would enter into an
irreversible phase but this was her mind. But why let her die without
fighting her disease?
International
Workshop Biobran and Cancer-Krakow, Poland 2017
This coming
Jun9/12, I will be presenting a paper at the 5thInternational
Biobran workshop in Krakow, Poland together with other important
figures such as Dr. Joseph Brenner Oncologist, Dr. Handgretinger,
Professor of Hematology and Oncology and Professor Hajto, Specialist
in Immunology, along with more experts. We will show some clinical
cases, including some with advanced metastasis cancer that were
supposed to be soon fatal but so far with a 6 year extension
/survival (and those taking chemotherapy as well), along with other
cases of cancer recurrence with quickly spreading metastasis during
chemotherapy regimen, but afterwards with a significantly decrease of
local large metastasis after coupling chemotherapy with my treatment,
quite visible on Scan. I remember the case of my wife's cousin
diagnosed with a colon cancer and even while he knew me he just
accepted conventional medicine, surgery and chemotherapy.
Six months
later his son is diagnosed with an aggressive lymphoma and went to
take chemotherapy as well, also not coming to me for other treatment.
He was getting worse and after talking to him about doing something
with me he just answered that he was waiting for a new “Miraculous”
treatment coming from USA. Of course he died before his father which
also was getting worse with chemotherapy and really felt in a very
bad way. So my wife told me she asked him to consider dropping
chemotherapy for some time and be treated by me. But he answered,
“This was not my decision but that of my doctor”. One month
before he died he finally came to my clinic but it was too late. 10
years later his grand daughter was diagnosed with an aggressive
breast cancer and ran to hospital for chemotherapy refusing my help,
so of course she died. This tragedy is just to show that our life
can also rest in our own hands and not only in those of the medical
doctor. We have to realize that if we have a cancer we may have done
something wrong in our life, where it is up to us to correct it and
to choose a better direction.
So again you
don't have to die from cancer if you really choose to do something
more for yourself. Of course we cannot always win but we can delay,
we can expect better result by joining the 2 medicines and minimizing
the side effects. More especially and definitely we have to change
the way we eat, the way we live, the way we think and have more power
and self confidence in ourselves. Remember that the autonomic nervous
system and the immune system are cross-talking meaning they are both
related. So yes relaxation and meditation are probably very positive.
Fear doesn't help either, nor anxiety so just try to take positive
actions and of course if necessary some supplementation to strengthen
the nervous system. Helping the psyche may really be beneficial as
well. We are doing this in my clinic but psychology and helping the
patient is also a important part of the time I spend with my cancer
patients. However we may have also some bad experience with patients
diagnosed with bad cancers coming to me but apparently with an
agitated state of mind that makes them angry, aggressive and unable
to make the good decision.
Lately I had
a very bad experience with one couple, where the wife was diagnosed
with one of the worst cases of nasopharyngeal cancer, already with an
expansion of metastases in the neck and little hope from chemotherapy
as she already had said. The husband was quite aggressive and the
patient was not very open and emotionally conflicted even just from
facing such a cancer where no answer remained from conventional
medicine. It had come to such a complicated discussion with her
husband that I was obliged to tell them that if they were not
satisfied with my work, my 50 years of experience, my reputation and
as they could see with several cancer patients in the waiting room,
most of them already in treatments with excellent results, then the
best choice was to walk out of my office and nothing more. This is
what they done and it really upset me since I know this women was
condemned to death but unable to realize that she had no solution.
But yes this is a very difficult cancer and she would need all the
help possible to start fighting that could go on for months or
possibly years but as we can also realize the human mind is sometimes
difficult to understand. Since you have to be prepared to understand
the disease and make an in informed decision which was not the case
of this patient. “You don't have to die”, means you can do
something different for yourself outside of conventional medicine,
but unfortunately you will because if your mind is blocked up with
negative emotion, you can easily make the wrong decision.
Oncology
is Still Denied the Value of Complementary Therapy
So it is
interesting to ask one question and particularly patients should ask
this of themselves. Why deny asking this especially when you have the
evidence in front of your eyes ! The life of the patient is our main
interest. Either we are or we are not an Oncologist or we may using
some as they say unproven therapy, but that can save the patient's
life. Cancer treatment is not the monopoly anymore of Oncology since
we are in a new Era where we are discovering new theories, new
mechanisms of cancer and new non-toxic treatments but simply the
system does not accept it for reasons that some people have started
to understand. The International conventional medicine for reason of
prestige cannot accept other way to treat cancer and therefore the
life of patients do not enter in their consideration. Outside of
their protocols developed at higher levels, whether efficient or not
the Oncologist is totally looked up to by patients, and needs to open
his/her mind to something different.
Recently a
new article published in May 2017 in the serious French magazine
SCIENCE and Avenir under the tittle New Anticancer strategy to attack
cancer via the metabolic pathway opened the door to a new paradigm to
understand and treat cancer by reactivation of the mitochondria
function. Other incredible news coming from the Sloan Kettering
Cancer Institute that suppose now to treat differently cancer with a
revolutionary method which is: The immune system which is how I have
been treating my patients for the past 35 years. This is what Biobran
does to activate Natural Killer cells that kill cancer cells. We have
been using Biobran for nearly 25 years and have given seminars about
Biobran in different countries even invited at the Faculty of
medicine of the University of Vilnius in Lithuania. Secondly Big
Pharma controls the whole of medicine, all the medical congresses,
the specialized magazines, local newspapers and politicians. This is
why chemotherapy remains the cornerstone of cancerology and that
cancer patients run to hospital without asking questions.
Unfortunately many of them at the end are not improving but get even
worse and then they start to seek some other type help, but for many
of them it's too late! So if you are diagnosed with a cancer even
before going on surgery start to do something to support your body
your immune system, activate the tumor suppressor genes, adopt a
better diet,detox your body and be prepared for a
long fight.
Sometimes
we believe that doctors do not tell the truth to patients but between
them they know that some cancers are incurable and yet they refuse
trying other approaches ! In one medical doctor's conference slide I
was astonished to read the following: “The disease might make the
patient's life miserable or cause mortality” (About prostate cancer
with bone metastasis). Even worse it also read, “Bone metastasis
in prostate cancer really means the beginning of the end for the
patient”. Incredible! Essentially, what he said was applicable to
all cancers, not only prostate cancer, probably breast cancer as
well! He further stated on another slide, “Unfortunately we have
never cured a single patient with hormone therapy”. He was very
honest but then continues to use hormones and denies some other
interesting approaches like the ones I had published!
My
tip is to take some Mgn3/Biobran to activate your Natural
Killer cells and Dendritic cells. Curcumin is not only a powerful
antioxidant but target cell's signaling pathways and most of the
hallmarks of cancer and works very well in synergy with Biobran,Alpha
Lipoic acid,Co-enzyme Q10, resveratrol, Pau d'Arco, melatonin,
chorella extract (Sun-Chorella) and Indole-3-carbinol for breast
cancer. Enzyme yeast cells (Zell-Oxygen preparation the bed rock of
my method) and you read all about in my new book, “Health and
Disease Begin in the Colon”. The
same can be said about chorella. I also have a chapter
on breast cancer and colon cancer but overall it shows also how you
can prevent cancer which should be the main concern of people,
particularly women. If you read my articles, “The Evidence of
Cellular Respiration to Target Cancer” and “Mitochondria and
Cancer”, published in 2006 in The Townsend Letter Magazine they
actually give the same information but with all the details about
what say this article about the New strategy to treat cancer. The
article explains that beside chemotherapy some agents that can
regenerate or reactivated damaged mitochondria that use glucose as
their main fuel to synthesize molecular energy instead of oxygen, but
in much less quantity can be one important step.
Some Oncologists Now Use Alpha Lipoic Acid Together
with Chemotherapy
Curiously,
Dr. Laurent Schwartz, a French Oncologist but with some advanced
ideas about how to treat cancer is using some Alpha Lipoic acid
together with chemotherapy which is what I suggested above. We
ourselves have been using Alpha Lipoic Acid for over 20 years. It
works as a strong antioxidant but also ALA works on the cellular
level to help producing energy acting as a co-enzyme-a helper of
enzyme-in the cell's energy cycle. ALA also appears to have
extraordinary ability to prevent damage to the cell at the genetic
level and thus important to take during chemotherapy to protect
healthy cells. Co-enzyme Q10 works under the same way even very
efficient on the respiratory chain of transport to carry electrons
with the finally to synthesis ATP production which helps to restore
the cellular function and cellular differentiation meaning a cancer
cell been much less active and returning to a normal state. While we
explained at the beginning of this article Co-enzyme Q10 protects the
heart during chemotherapy from any damage done in the mitochondria.
Few articles published in the past have shown the evidence that in
certain cases of breast cancer larger doses of Co-enzyme Q10 leads to
a complete remission but also now Alpha Lipoic Acid. Burt Berkson
M.D., Ph. D, wrote an interesting small book , “ The Alpha
Lipoic Acid Miracle”, that gives a list of diseases that
can be treated with ALA including cancer. So again if you are taking
conventional therapies follow also a complementary treatment to not
only protect your body from toxic damage but also targeting cancer
mechanisms and help the killing of cancer cells together with
chemotherapy/radiation. Do not
neglect an anticancer diet, the ketogenic diet being popular
today and improve your Microbiome or intestinal micro-flora that
work to strengthen the immune system increasing the destruction of
cancer cells. Find a doctor offering Live Blood Analysis and a Dried
Blood test so you may have a better idea about your blood status and
oxidative stress level during chemotherapy.
The other day
came a 65 year old man was suddenly diagnosed with colon cancer and
a liver metastases up to 7 cm, very extensive, and he was supposed to
first start chemotherapy. He was very weak and had lost much weight.
When doing his LBA we found really only damaged red cells, platelet
aggregation, fungal invasion, lipid plaques and this is the way he
was going into chemotherapy that would make his case even worse. See
my book, “Health and Disease Begin in the Colon”, where
I explain and show photos of both tests before and after treatment or
as result of chemotherapy damage.
