A cancer diagnosis does not mean you have to suffer, go broke and die
As the United States media becomes concentrated into ownership of the very few, we lose access to complete information about what is really happening in every field of human endeavor. Specifically, in the case of medicine, the problem of media blackouts on natural medicine is further compounded by the immense power of the pharmaceutical industry. That industry's massive advertising budgets have had obvious influence over the editorial slant of many publications and other media.
As a result, there are extraordinarily effective natural treatments for cancer that never make the airwaves, and that cancer patients may only hear about from their oncologists, and then in the form of dire warnings to the patient not to distract himself or herself from chemotherapy.
An excellent review of natural cancer treatments, written by a top-notch cancer researcher, is The Cancer Industry, by Ralph Moss, PhD.
Fortunately, there are still some institutions on this earth that have not been entirely bought and paid for by special interests, such as the Nobel Prize Committee. The chemist Linus Pauling was one of those extremely rare individuals to have actually won two Nobel prizes. Of Pauling's prodigious life work, his research with high-dose Vitamin C and cancer has probably had the most far-reaching effect in the lives of an increasing number of people.
Dr. Pauling showed that for all the various kinds of cancer that one can acquire, Vitamin C induces apoptosis. In other words, it kills cancer cells. It does this without inducing more pain or side effects, within weeks to months, and for a small fraction of the cost of chemotherapy. He showed that some go into remission completely on Vitamin C alone (which I have verified in my own medical practice), and that for other more severe and late-stage cases, either outright cure or lengthening of life and easing of pain are the rule rather than the exception.
As a result of Pauling's work and my own previous healing of cancer patients, I offer this therapy to cancer patients at any stage of their diagnosis. I inject high-dose intravenous Vitamin C therapy (with other anti-cancer nutrients) to these patients, and have had them respond well. I have worked with Stage One through Stage Three cancers, from fairly benign to as life-threatening as pancreatic cancer. I have had cancer patients go into remission in as little as seven weeks on my intravenous Vitamin C and other nutrient therapy alone. And I have had others with more intractable tumors, for whom the tumors never really went away, but rather encapsulated in scar tissue, which rendered them neither growing nor shrinking, but more like tough shells of what they were, reduced from the high-dose blood supply that enabled their previous growth. These patients are now stable and holding their own.
We have even had a throat cancer patient (cancer of the pharynx) go into remission without quitting smoking! Of course, we urged the patient to quit smoking, but fortunately the Vitamin C was more formidable than even the damage done by cigarettes.
And to the best of my knowledge, all of the cancer patients who I have treated for cancer are still alive and walking around.
Patients are often nervous about the prospect of embarking on a treatment without the blessing of their oncologist or other physicians. To ease these concerns, I make clear to my patients that I am happy to consult with other physicians regarding their case, and to see if there is some way that conventional treatments may also be offered to the patient.
There are some benefits to be gained from all of the conventional cancer treatments, depending on the case, and I do encourage my patients to look into all of their options. In general, surgical removal of a resectable tumor is a good idea, when it is possible. Occasionally a targeted radiation therapy or chemotherapy may be well indicated or at least a feasible option.
All of the conventional therapies have been successfully combined with high dose intravenous Vitamin C therapy, without detriment to the patient. In fact, it has been found by many Vitamin C patients that it strengthens them when their other treatments leave them nauseated and weak. It also has had a markedly beneficial effect on the pain that accompanies cancer and the conventional therapies.
On the other hand, patients who have had enough of conventional medicine, or at least of conventional cancer treatments, and who choose to come to me exclusively. I do not turn these patients away either, and I have actually had my fastest successes usually with this type of patient.
I do not claim, nor should anyone claim, that Vitamin C is guaranteed to cure every person's cancer. However, I have not lost a patient yet to death from any cause, and I am determined to do my best to keep that record. High dose intravenous Vitamin C treatments for cancer are an essential part of keeping that record.
If you know anyone with cancer, please show them this article, and let them know that high-dose intravenous Vitamin C is available for them, at least in the fourteen U.S. states that license naturopathic physicians. For those living elsewhere, it is definitely worth an extended vacation in one of these licensed states. The list of states that license naturopathic physicians is as follows: Alaska, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Maine, Montana, New Hampshire, Oregon, Utah, Vermont, and Washington, as well as Washington D.C.
If you don't have cancer, here are the basic ways to prevent it
Cancer prevention cannot be mentioned without discussing the massively beneficial effects of diet.
Whole, natural, unprocessed foods
One thing that even the mainstream now agrees on is that vegetables and fruits are essential to preventing cancer. The reason is simple: these are the foods that our ancestors thrived on, and on which they were able to avoid the debilitating chronic diseases that plague our contemporary populations. These are also, not so coincidentally, the foods from which our ancestors derived most of their Vitamin C.
Avoiding sugars and other processed foods is also very important, because such foods generally weaken immune system defenses against cancer, and overload the body with free radicals, substances that set into motion the chain of cellular-level events that lead to cancer, if unchecked.
However, here is a little-mentioned but very important thing to consider with regard to cancer prevention:
Get enough sleep
A brain chemical called melatonin is essential for at least two reasons: it enables the brain to go into the sleep state and stay there all night. It is also one of the most powerful fighters of free radicals in our bodies. That means that while we sleep melatonin is fighting off pre-cancerous changes before they can take hold. Cancer has long been observed to be more prevalent among nightworkers, especially those who must have strong lights shining during the night, than others. This is most likely related to the fact that melatonin shuts off when strong light hits the eyes.
Herb of the month: Larrea tridentata
|
Larrea tridentata is also known as chaparral or creosote bush for its strong smell in the rain. It has nothing to do with wood creosote or coal tar creosote, which are much more commonly known. In Spanish this plant is "hediondilla," which is the affectionate term "little stinker." Aside from giving a very characteristic smell to the precious few rains we get here in the Southwestern Sonoran desert, this plant has some really fascinating qualities.
One is that it does not particularly seem to allow other plants to grow near it, so you will see entire hillsides that have almost no vegetation other than these creosote bushes. This may explain the other Spanish name for it, "gobernadora" or governor.
The highly unusual noteworthy item about this plant is that some living specimens here in the Southwest have been carbon-dated to more than 11,000 years old, which makes them the oldest living organisms on the planet.
Another property to keep an eye on in the future is the success that Larrea has had treating some types of cancer - particularly skin cancer. However, in the clinical studies, dose has been crucial: Too little a dose, and cancer can be made worse. Too great a dose can result in liver toxicity.
Because of this problem with dosing, I cannot recommend its use in cancer at this time. Even as a clinician and a naturopathic physician, I do not rely on this herb for cancer treatment. Once more information is available about Larrea, particularly regarding its safety, I will consider incorporating it, and it is worth keeping an eye on, for its future therapeutic possibilities after more research.
And if you ask me, this plant is not so stinky. Its smell is rather refreshing, at least that is the association of it for me, since the fragrance always announces the rare and welcome rain in the Southwest.
