How An Oncologist Became Interested in Reading My Book, “Health and Disease Begin In the Colon, Featuring Professor Jurasunas' Natural Medicine”

The historical treatment of cancer is based on a dogma or paradigm that

initially includes the killing of cancer based on chemotherapy, radiation

and surgery. The idea is to use toxic drugs in a tentative to destroy cancer

cells, therefore to target exclusively what we call CANCER and not giving

any consideration for the whole body or the real condition of the patient.

Unfortunately chemotherapy is not selective, often inducing toxic effects

ranging from medium to strong which may even be fatal to the patient.

After 50 years of practice, work, investigation, and world travel , I realized

that conventional medicine is the same in every country. Over the past

several decades, rather than changing their paradigm to the contrary

Oncologists had become even more aggressive with toxic therapy, but

with little results. They did not speak of their failure. However on one

other side we assist to some change, to some open mind from some

Oncologist that really choose to treat cancer patient differently. This is not

easy to do since you may become a enemy from your colleagues.

Dr. Joseph Brenner Oncologist from Hospital and directing his own clinic

of Alternative medicine in Israel is one of this great mind that change his

way of treating cancer patient by using Alternative methods and offering a

better opportunity for cancer patients. We can even say that he is one of the

few Oncologists in the world that examine the disease from different

angles and being himself a victim of cancer which may explain his new

attitude. Although I know about medical doctors diagnosed with cancer, 

who later died from the disease, but to be more correct from the consequences of chemotherapy who were totally closed to any other approach.

Dr. Jurasunas and Dr. Brenner

How I First Met Dr. Brenner

In 2007 in one of my articles published in Townsend Letter, the Examiner

of Alternative Medicine I also mentioned my lecture given on October,

2006 at the University of Vilnius, Faculty of Medicine in Lithuania, where

I had been invited to speak on Complementary Oncology, where I

mentioned about how to obtain the DVD of this lecture . Shortly after, I

received an email from Dr. Brenner wishing to learn more about my

methods. Later on he came to Lisbon to visit me and we had some

interesting discussions, as you can imagine. Dr. Brenner was trained at the

prestigious Memorial Sloan-Kettering Medical Center in New York City,

famous throughout the world. He already knew what you can expect from

chemotherapy/radiation.

The miracle the we spoke about was to join the two medicines through a

bridge that developed over the past few decades. Patients were still dying

from chemotherapy even with the failures especially when it come to

metastasized cancers, pancreatic cancers etc. Oncology had not made any

different moves. While so many patients taking their side run to the

Hospital and believe that chemotherapy will cure them, but then when they

realize it does not they then start to search for another solution. Recently a

important woman in Portugal was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and

she ran to the new modern Oncology Hospital in Lisbon, supposedly

extremely modern but unfortunately she soon found out that she ended up

in a dead end street. Another example was the well known movie actor,

Patrick Swayze, who died from pancreatic cancer, who at the end looked

like a feeble mummy in a wheel chair. 

We know there is no cure for pancreatic cancer but we can help and obtain better results using a combination of natural anticancer agents, for instance by combining Ukrain a natural anticancer agent together with curcuma, Biobran and proteolytic enzymes. Ukrain had been probably one of the most powerful anticancer agents, that I had used for about 25 years, together with many other European medical doctors, mostly from private German clinic and hospitals, but on other continents as well. Dr. Brenner also used Ukrain

with success but in 2013 Ukrain was brutally removed from the market

along with the ruthless arrest and imprisonment of Dr. Nowicky in Vienna.

“A Medico-Political Plot”, was the tittle of my article about this incident

published in Townsend Letter, the magazine of alternative medicine

(Feb/March 2013). It is interesting to read this article as it really explained

how the Austrian Authorities and Big-Pharma eliminated a very efficient

anticancer agent, showing how our health and our lives come after

corporate profits and financial gain. It is really a pity but nonetheless a

reality.

Dr. Brenner Continues to Learn from My Book

Dr. Brenner, even though a well-known Oncologist, who lectures all over

the world, had shown a great interest to read and learn from my book, just

as I even now am always happy to learn something more every day.

This coming June (2017) I am planning to meet again with Dr. Brenner, since we were both invited to lecture at the International  Biobran Workshop  in Cracow, Poland.  I will present an innovative approach to cancer treatment, together with some excellent clinical cases that will give us something new to think about in cancer treatment.  Dr. Brenner will probably speak about Hyperthermia for cancer patients who also are taking Biobran Mgn3, a strong Biological Response modifier able to increase immune cell activity especially the Natural Killer cells, our first line of defense against cancer.

The tittle of my book, “Health and Disease Begin in the Colon”, of

course focuses on the colon and the microbiome, demonstrating the

association between the colon and disease as seen through Iridology. This

is a very important part of my book, having practiced iridology for the past

50 years where I know what we can expect from this science.

However nutrition, detox and the value of natural foods, especially the

value of making vegetable juice at home truly helps to rebuild the body.

Personally over the past 50 years I drink my fresh vegetable juice every

day so it keeps me in better health. I also write about Live Blood Analysis,

molecular markers, apoptosis and many other valuable topics that are

included in this book.

This knowledge offers a real advantage for practitioners and even

Oncologists to approach this disease differently, essentially by targeting

the different aspects of cancer with nutritional support, boosting the

immune system, decreasing oxidative stress and increasing apoptosis. This

is the fantastic experience Dr. Brenner has already realized in treating

cancer, which will even improve more.

When we met for the second time at the 2nd World Congress of

Complementary Oncology in Munich, he told me that he knew little about

nutrition and diet. Now after reading my book he understood better how to

support his patients. I have great respect for such men, those showing

such simplicity, such an open mind that serve as a real example for other

Oncologists, especially those that believe that they know everything

having no need to learn more, new or something different.

Every day I learn something new, especially from my patients and from

any good book, journal or magazine article I read. I can especially suggest

The Townsend Letter - The Examiner of Alternative Medicine

( www.townsendletter.com), where I am a frequent contributor. The quality

and the variety of articles presented in this magazine are a real vehicle for

improving someone's knowledge and clinical practice with patients.

I wrote my first article for Townsend Letter in 1999 and still contribute

today. One of my best articles, “The Clinical Evidence of Cellular

Respiration to Target Cancer”, has been translated into Chinese, Japanese,

Lithuanian, Romanian and German so it should prove interesting. Soon I

will have two good articles published about my experience with

germanium and cancer. One article, “A Story of Cancer”, should be read

by everyone concerned with cancer as it give us something to think about

where it may also awaken many Oncologists to a new sense of

understanding and compassion, who may be totally indifferent to the

suffering of patients of who fight for their lives. They can open their

minds and hearts, learn something new, change their thinking and do

something more for their patients.

In fact this was how I met Dr. Brenner because he read my articles in the

Townsend Letter and now he is reading and learning from my book which

is a book of knowledge and not a book built up from the Internet.

Dr. Martin Dayton D.O, M.D. of the Dayton Dandes Holistic and

Integrative Medical Center in Florida (DaytonDandesMedical.com), is also

a truly open-minded doctor who wrote, “The book is the man's life work.”

He said that he is learning from my book which honors me but shows that

in any situation with any background or diploma, continual lifelong

learning is something very important, especially when you can take the

knowledge in my book and improve your own personal life and those of

your patients.

How Do You See and Treat Cancer Patients in Naturopathic Oncology

How Do You See and Treat Cancer Patients in Naturopathic Oncology

Naturopathy is a system based on the prevention and treatment of disease by not harming the body, by using natural means and employing techniques that come from nature. The number one priority is to diagnose and treat the disease as well as the patient. In Naturopathy treating a disease is considered a Healing Art which means the doctor must combine experience, wisdom, intuition and knowledge and offer the best treatment and remedies that may cure his patient. Naturopathy is universally recognized as a form of medicine thus the term Naturopathic Medicine and Naturopathic Physician requires a 4-5 year curriculum in a recognized college of Naturopathy, but real life experience and knowledge can only found within each practitioner and does not come from schooling alone.

It takes years and even decades before you can really understand what cancer means and treat cancer patients with success. Even after 50 years I am still learning. Whenever I have a cancer patient in front of me my mind immediately reacts to classify him from several aspects: First his age, appearance, physical condition. Then I study his eyes and look to understand his behavior. Women are usually under high stress and psychic shock from their first diagnostic, then surgery and worse going to chemotherapy. Usually there are three different phases of heavy stress without much comfort received during medical consultation and during the buildup of the conventional anti-cancer protocol. With most cancer patients I need to spend more time with emotional and even spiritual priorities since they are feeling lost and afraid to die. I always take the time to influence them positively and teach them that he should be the winner and not the loser. We give them appropriate writings to read that help to accept their condition and feel confident.

Then when you have in hand all the medical reports, the next step for me is to understand why the patient has a cancer, what is the hereditary condition, constitution, organ body functions etc... You cannot only see cancer as a cellular disease since other factors are probably associated and we know that terrain plays a key role the same as the nervous system, the liver and the colon. A bad nervous system is always negative for the patient since it reduces the capacity of the body to fight and it increases the risk of metastases spread. I confirm this with Iridology and sometimes perform a brain chemistry analysis to profile the neurotransmitters.

The state of body's intoxication is also important to monitor. I always use a very interesting approach with the science of Iridology or iris examination, a science that I mastered over the past 50 years having devoted considerable time in order to detect the various signs associated with cancer profiles. I even developed a breast cancer iris profile chart to memorize what the iris can show.

Afterwards I take a Live Blood Microscopy Analysis to profile the nutritional status of the patient, oxidative stress condition, any abnormal condition such as oxidized lipids, platelet aggregation, fungal and bacterial invasion which are often visible in the blood of a cancer patient. We have to remember diagnosed cancer patients always suffer from malnutrition, bowel dysfunction and often a bad nervous system as observed in their iris, which indeed is reflected in the Live Blood Analysis observation. We also use the oxidative dried blood test that to me is very important to define the inflammation stage of the disease.

I spent 38 years perfecting this test that I detail in my new book, Health and Disease Begin in the Colon. For each patient I administer a physical and psychological assessment questionnaire with a score ranging from 0 to 5, which are applied to different questions regarding pain, fatigue, appetite , anxiety etc..

We then have three basic important approaches to the disease and the patient. Next comes the molecular markers testing suggested for patients, especially the P53 tumor suppressor gene for a eventual mutation of the P53 gene which is associated with every step of tumor growth and metastasis invasion, and other pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic players. Here we just look at the cell, the Cellular cycle and know exactly the about the activity of genes and oncogenes. It serves as a diagnostic, prognostic and follow up of the treatment. Now we have a full picture of the disease and patient condition, nutritional need, emotional behavior where we can start a personalized treatment since each patient's condition is different from another, especially at the molecular level and their unique terrain.

We advise the patient about the anticancer diet he needs to follow. In this case food acts as medicine. Over the past 50 years I developed a number of

Dr. Jurasunas with a long term patient and her children

diets based on my study, experience and results obtained with my patients. Little by little you find what combination of food is best. In the beginning I learned nutrition, detox and cancer diet from Dr. Bernard Jensen and Max Gerson, as well as other pioneers, starting during 1964-1967. I was mainly influenced by Bernard Jensen and later found out about the work of Dr. Max Gerson. This is the way I started, later on going to Germany to learn about food that can reactivate cellular respiration. Over the past few years I have done intensive study focusing on a variety of natural bioactive agents, vegetables, fruits, herbal teas that have been extensively studied for their chemopreventive and targeting properties on a cellular level inducing apoptosis,blocking up angiogenesis, decreasing inflammatory mediators and stimulating the immune system. BcL2 for instance is an oncogene usually over-expressed in most cancers and responsible for cancer cell resistance to apoptosis and chemotherapy. You can use a wide range of bioactive agents such as curcumin, resveratrol, apigenin, green propolis, Maitake, ginseng, and fish peptides that target most of the genes and even may reactivate mutant P53 to normal function. Rice bran arabynoxilan (RBAC) from bran rice extract (Biobran) is one compound that I have used over 20 years which acts as a strong Biological Response Modifier activating NK cells, dendritic cells and stimulation of macrophages for example. NK cells in cancer patients are usually activated to 10-30% of their capacity compared to a healthy person. Biobran reactivates the production of the enzymes perforin and granzymes that directly kill cancer cells. I have published several of my lectures where I explain in detail the anticancer property of Biobran. Shark cartilage molecules are very efficient in shrinking tumors by blocking off the tumor's vascularization. Of course we use other anticancer agents like the Tegaran compound that targets the cancer cell cycle in every direction. The aim of our treatment is first to increase the resistance of the patient to chemotherapy side effects, to maximize response to chemotherapy and obtain a much better result. The patient may need some support for his nervous tension, anxiety and here supplementation may really help.

The bedrock of my method is always based upon the intake of enzyme yeast cell preparation made from fresh yeast that contains all the ingredients that our body needs, especially to regenerate mitochondrial function, increase energy level and body resistance. See my lecture, “The Clinical Evidence of Cellular Respiration in the Treatment of Cancer”, published in the Townsend Letter magazine.

Sometimes I will prescribe the Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF) to boost energy and fight severe anemia from chemotherapy. Sometimes it may even save life of patients, I have several examples. This also supports the nutritional needs of cancer patients and modifies blood status as observed with the LBA. We cannot forget detoxification and on this level, enzyme yeast cells and chlorella seem the perfect combination. Currently I am writing a course on immunonutrition including Detox, to be made available for doctors. My new book, Health and Disease Begin in the Colon Featuring Prof. Serge Jurasunas Natural Medicine, offers full details on the detoxification methods I have used over several decades. I especially included a chapter about enzyme yeast cell and chlorella extract along with special protocols. I feel this is truly what we call Naturopathic Oncology. My first article, “Orthomolecular Treatment on Cancer” published in the Townsend Letter in February, 1999, was the first introduction in the US to the theory of Otto Warburg and Paul Seeger on cellular respiration and the enzyme yeast cells preparation. Now one finds that in every corner of cancer alternative medicine, there is the question of mitochondrial and cellular respiration.

Of course we can follow up the result of the treatment to see if it really works from a scientific standpoint by performing a new molecular markers testing after 2 months of treatment. This is what I have been doing with most of my patients over the past decade. Sometimes we follow up on our patients with such testing for a one year or even a 2 year period or longer. This is a follow up protocol where we can always change something in the patient's treatment. The first thing I work with is the P53 tumor suppressor gene and mutated P53 in patient with resistant cancer cells. I managed to develop a treatment that reverses the mutation which was my first victory published in the Townsend Letter.

Therefore I introduced in my treatment a method that belongs to molecular medicine associated with Naturopathic methods which really may be considered Naturopathic Oncology. But patients can continue to take the other tests I mentioned every few months, but usually they all start to feel better. We even have seen multiple large secondary lesions to the lung, liver and ganglions reduced up to 80% after 3 months of treatment, and an 18 cm stomach tumor eliminated without surgery from our applied treatment as a support to chemotherapy. There are so many other examples that show how we can obtain a much better result, increasing chemotherapy effectiveness by increasing apoptosis,immune surveillance and by targeting angiogenesis, of course treating other side of the patient as detox, bowel function etc. Some of my patients treated some 15-20-30 years ago are still thriving today, feeling healthy with no recurrence. This includes breast, colon, stomach cancer, leukemia, and lymphoma. If you look in my book you will find detailed information. I especially offer real life examples, (many illustrated) of cancer patients that I have treated during my career.

This is never easy since your patient is not only a tumor, but a human being that often suffers and fights for his or her life. Sometimes the patient is more difficult to handle than the disease itself and it takes considerable time. Much of ones energy is devoted to trying to help the patient and change his behavior and attitude where often I obtained success. One day I decided to create a Mind-Body Institute in my clinic and set up monthly meetings with a group of cancer patients, offering helpful lectures. My patients in remission, already in good health were presenting their own successful cases describing their own fight telling how they overcame their cancer disease which motivated and often helped newcomers, sometimes desperate. This became a real success

How to treat cancer from a Naturopathic Oncology viewpoint probably needs a higher level in the way to approach the patient, to understand what cancer is from every point of view, cellular as well as the whole body so as especially build up an individualized protocol that includes anticancer agents that have demonstrated strong efficiency in-vitro and in-vivo in both animal and human models. For instance Biobran can enter into this category having been well documented over the past twenty years.

My book serves as a bridge between Naturopathy and Molecular medicine and of course it is also based on Iridology since I also have spent several decades on the iris examination of cancer patients. Besides this information I also present a series of very interesting iris cases related to cancer disease.

Looking into the iris gives you a good idea about your patient, his genetic status and often why there is a cancer. I manage to associate iridology and molecular markers testing so here you really have a bridge from Hippocrates to cellular theory explaining how the cells and work both empirically but additionally based on scientific factual observation.

My latest article in Townsend Letter of January 2017, “Health and Disease by Iris Examination”, is well illustrated and serves as a real guide explaining the advantages of Iridology which to me should be included in a course on Naturopathic Oncology.
