anything, any successful treatements other than chemo therapy
For hodgekins lymphoma Chemo therapy is not a good idea, I've learned. What prevents cancer and rids of it (unless you're in the last stages there's not much you can do) is latryl which is also known as vitamin B17. You can find this in apricot seeds (break the seed open and eat the little fruit inside of it), apple seeds, and almonds buy them from the health food store unbleached and unroasted with the hulls on. My Grandpa ate apple seeds with the apples since he was a boy he died at 93 but he never had cancer. There's also a latryl clinic in Mexico that has had much success I understand that it's quite expensive but it works.
I've also heard of this one: drinking apple cider vinigar and olive oil mixed together. You're welcome, Jennifer, thank you for choosing my answer as the best one. Lord bless you!

Eat the one seed of a raw apricot everyday for six weeks. My Great-Great- Grandfather was a medicine man for our tribe. He died at 107 years. Good Luck. Medical Qi Gong and Acupuncture.
Medical Qi Gong/Acupuncture is a component of Chinese Medicine, and has been practice for over 5,000 years. Currently, there are Western hospitals in China that devote exclusively to healing and treating cancer patients using qi gong (set of breathing and mental exercises). Medical records in China, as well as those archived in Stanford University in California, will show you some eye-raising results.
It is best to speak with an experienced Qi gong master and with your Western MD (if you choose to do so) to get more information.
I wish you the best. I am going to quote the following out of a book called
THE LONGEVITY SOLUTION, by Dr. Cass Ingram and the benefits of royal jelly for cancer.
"Royal Jelly may save lives because it is a predigested food. It is ideal for cancer victims since they are always mal nourished. Royal Jelly rebuilds health. Royal Jelly has been researched to have a number of compounds which strengthen the immune system Certain of these compounds increase the activity of white blood cells like macrophages which kill cancer cells."
I have been using royal jelly for years and I highly recommend it and I highly recommend one company for guaranteed freshness and quality that is bee royal products in phoenix, Arizona. I also suggest you buy the book to read more about the miracle food royal jelly. Good Luck New Cancer Treatments For Advanced Cancer Patients http://www.new-cancer-treatments.org/

Cancer
List All Recommendations
More than 1,359,000 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in the United States this year alone and approximately 550,000 patients will die this year from cancer. In spite of the near 25 billion dollars spent on cancer research in the past twenty years, cancer deaths have actually increased over that same time period. This has raised major concern among researchers and clinicians alike-it's time to rethink our approach to cancer prevention and treatment. If there has been any improvement in cancer risk, it seems to be with the ability to detect some cancers sooner, i.e. mammography for the detection of breast cancer and PSA tests for prostate cancer.
It seems that everything we do or eat these days allegedly causes cancer. Excessive exposure to sunlight increases the risk of skin cancer. Asbestos workers have an increased risk of developing an unusual form of lung cancer called a mesothelioma. Smoking and secondary smoke are the main reason that lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths (over 158,000 deaths in 1996 alone). Radiation, charcoal grilled steaks, too much fat in our diet, saccharin, and numerous chemicals increase our risk of cancer. These are referred to in the medical literature and media as carcinogens (those things that increase our risk of developing cancer).
Since the first report that chimney sweeps had an increased risk of scrotal cancer because of their exposure to soot, we have become more and more afraid of our environment. Our bodies are being exposed to far more chemicals than any previous generation. The Environmental Protection Agency has estimated that there are well over 60,000 chemicals in commercial use today and they are increasing at a rate of 1,000 per year. What is the one common denominator? They all increase oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is the key to understanding new strategies for preventing and fighting cancer.
OXIDATIVE STRESS AS THE CAUSE OF CANCER
There has been growing medical evidence that when excessive "free radicals" are allowed to exist near the nucleus of the cell, significant damage to the DNA of the cell results. This "free radical" damage may then lead to mutation of the DNA of the cell. When the cell replicates, this mutation to the DNA is carried to the next generation of cells and the actual genetic damage that occurs can lead to abnormal growth of the cell.
If there is further oxidative stress to the DNA of the cell there is further damage. The cell will then begin to grow out of control and take on a life of its own. It then develops the ability to spread from one part of the body to another (metastasis). Thus, becoming a true cancer. Almost all researchers now believe that development of cancer is not an event but rather a multistage process that takes decades to develop. More and more researchers are beginning to realize that this repeated damage to the DNA by excessive "free radicals" over 10 to 20 years that in fact may be the root cause of all cancers.
Dr. Donald Malins, a biochemist from Seattle, reported a new method for identifying structural changes in the DNA of breast tissue. By using an instrument that bounces infrared radiation off the DNA and analyzing the signals via a sophisticated computer, he is able to follow the structural changes to the DNA caused by "free radicals."
Malins has noted significant changes within the structure of the DNA as he compares normal breast tissue to metastatic breast cancer in all of its developmental stages. Dr. Malins believes oxidative stress causes this predictable damage to the DNA and over time eventually leads to the formation of breast cancer. He further argues that cancer is not so much the result of dysfunctional genes as it is the result of genetic damage caused by these highly reactive "free radicals."
Kelvin Davies, a biochemist from the Department of Biochemistry, Albany Medical College, wrote an extensive review article on oxidative stress. He explained in detail the damage that can occur to the DNA of the cell via excessive "free radicals." According to Davies, this damage actually causes mutation of the genetic code within the DNA.
Researchers can actually identify which chains of the DNA are damaged most frequently. For the past 25 years the focus has been placed on the fact that abnormal genes are the driving forces behind all cancers. Now researchers are beginning to consider the possibility that some genes (individuals) are just more vulnerable to oxidative stress than others. This would explain the familial patterns of many types of cancer.
Physicians usually diagnose cancer in its last stages of development. Unfortunately, by the time a cancer is advanced enough to cause symptoms or show up on a X-ray, it has usually been developing for over 10 to 20 years and it's usually too late. Doctors get out the big guns of aggressive surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation only to realize that most often they can do little to help the patient. There is no doubt in my mind that we need to attack cancer at a much earlier stage in its development if we are going to have any chance to decrease the number of deaths caused by cancer. Understanding the role of oxidative stress in the development of cancer offers us a host of new possibilities in cancer prevention and treatment.
DO ANTIOXIDANTS DECREASE THE RISK OF CANCER?
It seems logical that if "oxidative stress" is indeed the cause of cancer, then people who have more antioxidants available would definitely have a lower risk of cancer. This logic proves true. Cancer research specialist, Dr. Gladys Block (Berkley) reviewed over 172 epidemiological studies from around the world on diet and cancer. She discovered a universal and consistent finding: those individuals who had the highest intake of fruits and vegetables (the main source of antioxidants) had a two to threefold decreased risk of developing most cancers when compared to those who had the lowest intake of fruits and vegetables.
The opposite also holds true. Dr. Bruce Ames, a leading researcher in cancer stated in an interview with the Journal of the American Medical Association that individuals who consume the least amounts of fruits and vegetables have twice the cancer risk as those who consume the most. By merely consuming the recommended 5 to 7 servings of fruits and vegetables on a daily basis, we are able to significantly decrease our risk of almost every type of cancer.
CHEMOPREVENTION OF CANCER
As we begin to understand the very root cause of cancer, different therapeutic options become available. Since cancer is a multistage process that takes years to develop, there are several opportunities to intervene in this process.
Chemoprevention is focused on preventing the cancer from developing in the earliest stages. If this is not possible, chemoprevention is aimed at reversing the damage that has already occurred to the cell. The body has the amazing ability to heal itself, which is the very basis of cellular nutrition.
Controlling oxidative stress and thus damage to the DNA is a matter of balance. Each individual must have enough antioxidants on board to handle the number of free radicals produced. When there is initial damage to the DNA, cellular nutrition offers the body the nutrients needed to repair the damage. Cellular nutrition also enhances our body's natural immune system, which seeks out and destroys any abnormally growing cells.
What if I already have Cancer?
Chemoprevention therapies are definitely targeted toward those individuals who have not yet developed cancer. And standard therapy for cancers doesn't always appear promising, though medical therapy for cancer has improved over the last decade in regards to effectiveness and reduced complications. There has definitely been better success with leukemia and lymphomas than with solid tumor cancers.
What if you've already been diagnosed? The mere thought of chemotherapy or radiation therapy for cancer treatment is not pleasant. However, in many instances cancers are treated effectively and many years are added to a patient's life. Medical research is now beginning to demonstrate the fact that traditional chemo and radiation therapies can be enhanced by the use of complete and balanced nutritional supplements.
Presently oncologists or radiation therapists usually discourage the use of antioxidants in patients with cancer. They feel that antioxidants will build up the cancer cells' natural antioxidant defense system, thus making their treatments less effective. However, studies reported in the medical literature do not support these fears. In fact, just the opposite occurs.
The goal of the oncologist is to destroy the cancerous tumors (which are the fastest growing cells in the body) without killing the patient. His or her treatment not only wipes out the patient's immune system but can also cause devastating damage to other parts of the body. Chemotherapeutic drugs create tremendous amounts of "free radicals" and therefore oxidative stress. In fact, most of the terrible side effects of these drugs are now being related to this oxidative stress that they cause. Many of our patients die from cancer treatments rather than the cancer itself.
However, when the patient is provided with cellular nutrition and some important optimizers, not only is the oncologist's and radiation therapist's treatments enhanced because cancer cells take up antioxidants abnormally, making the cancer cells more vulnerable to treatments; but the normal cells are also better protected from the devastating oxidative stress these treatments cause. It is a win-win situation.
Chemoprevention is not only focused on protecting the DNA of our cells and the repair of any damage that has occurred, but also in maintaining the strongest immune system possible. Our immune system is our greatest protector against cancer that has already developed. It is even able to destroy abnormal tumor cells. Whereas chemotherapeutic drugs tend to destroy one's immune system, antioxidants build it up.
Here are just some examples of studies that are now appearing in our medical literature:
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) has been shown to stimulate and charge the immune system. Several case studies show that high doses of CoQ10 has led to regression of metastases in advanced breast cancer. CoQ10 has also been shown to be protective of the heart in patients receiving Adriamycin, a chemotherapeutic drug that may cause significant damage to the heart as one of its side effects.
A clinical trial using a combination of antioxidants with chemotherapy and radiation therapy in patients with lung cancer demonstrated prolonged survival. These patients also tolerated their therapy remarkably better. The sooner they started the antioxidants after finding out they had cancer, the better the results.
The use of cruciferous antioxidants in patients with breast cancer has shown inhibition of the growth of these tumors.
Antioxidants have been shown to enhance the cytotoxicity of chemotherapeutic drugs used in colon cancer. This means that the antioxidants actually improved the effect of these drugs in fighting the cancer.
Thirty-two typical breast cancer patients were given a combination of nutritional supplements, which was added to the traditional surgical and therapeutic treatment of breast cancer. The nutritional supplementation was vitamin C: 2850mg, vitamin E: 2500 IU, beta-carotene: 32.5 IU, selenium 387 mcg, essential fatty acids, CoQ 10, and secondary vitamins and minerals. The main observations of this study were a) none of the patients died during the study period (the expected number was four), b) none of the patients showed signs of further metastases, c) quality of life improved (no weight loss, reduced use of pain killers), d) six patients showed apparent partial remission.
I believe patients who have been diagnosed with cancer and are looking at chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy need to be on optimal levels of antioxidants and their supporting nutrients. In my practice, I place all my patients on a basic complete and balanced nutritional supplement program. Then I add these particular nutrients depending on the type of cancer. My patients not only tolerate their treatments better but also are having a better response to treatments.
Minimal support for Cellular Nutrition:
My minimal recommendation for creating cellular nutrition is to simply take an Antioxidant Tablet and Mineral Tablet that contains as close to the recommended nutrients you can see by clicking on each particular nutrient or tablet. Several nutritional companies are now combining most of these nutrients into one or two different tablets, which makes it much more convenient to get the cellular nutrition that I recommend. The Antioxidant and Mineral Tablets need to offer the cell ALL of the antioxidants, B cofactors, and antioxidant minerals needed by the cell at ideal levels. In order to achieve the best results, in general I recommend taking 2 Antioxidant Tablets and 2 Mineral Tablets in the AM with breakfast and in the PM with your evening meal. Now the exact amount may vary with the particular nutritional company you choose; however, nutritionals should always be taken with food because of better absorption and better tolerance.
Optimal support for Cellular Nutrition:
For the most favorable results for basic cellular nutrition, I also recommend adding to the Antioxidant Tablet and Mineral Tablet some additional Calcium/Magnesium Tablets and essential fats. You are able to get additional essential fatty acids from high-quality Flax Seed Oil or pharmaceutical-grade, filtered Fish Oil Capsules. These recommendations provide all the nutrients at their ideal levels creating the cellular nutrition I recommend in my book, What Your Doctor Doesn鈥檛 Know About Nutritional Medicine.
Enhancers
It is critical that you know the necessity of adding Enhancers, which contain additional potent antioxidants, to your foundational cellular nutrition for optimal results. Patients who are suffering from a chronic degenerative disease or illness are producing more free radicals and are under more oxidative stress than the average healthy individual. Therefore, adding potent Enhancers to the basic cellular nutrition I recommend offers you the best chance to bring this oxidative stress back under control. The synergy and increased potency created by this approach to nutritional medicine is why I鈥檓 able to get such consistent improvement in the health of my patients.
However, in order to suit each individual鈥檚 unique financial situation, I always offer both an optimal and a minimal plan for cellular nutrition and for adding Enhancers. Obviously, one鈥檚 improvement of their health will be more consistent with the optimal recommendations; however, a minimal regime can still produce significant improvement in your health.
Recommended Enhancers:
Optimal:
Grape Seed Extract - 3 tablets daily
CoQ10 - 6 capsules daily (may reduce to 4 per day if there is no evidence of spread of your cancer)
Vitamin C (additional) - 3 tablets daily
Vitamin E (additional) - 2 capsules daily
Minimal: There are no minimal recommendations for patients with cancer
Optimal Recommendations
Nutritional Supplement Breakfast Lunch Dinner
Antioxidant Tablet 2 1 1
Mineral Tablet 1 1 2
Calcium/Magnesium Tablet 1 1 2
Grape Seed Extract 1 1 1
CoQ10 2 2 2
Vitamin C (additional) 1 1 1
Flax Seed Oil 2 tsps.
Fish Oil Capsule (may substitute for Flax Seed Oil) 1 1
Vitamin E (additional) 1 1
Choosing High-Quality Nutritional Supplements
One of the most difficult aspects of being involved in nutritional medicine is the fact that nutritional supplement companies are basically an uncontrolled industry. The FDA looks at supplements like foods. Nutritional companies are really not required to put in their tablets what they say is on their label. The quality of products that is placed in most supplements is of inferior quality and their manufacturing processes are generally suspect. People who have read my books or used this web site will sometimes go out to their local chain stores, drug stores, or health food stores and try to put together my recommendations on their own. The frustrating thing about this is that they think that they are doing what I am recommending only to either not get any health benefits from their efforts or very marginal results.
When you look at my nutritional recommendations for the Antioxidant tablet and Mineral tablet, you will quickly realize that you cannot get this amount of supplementation in a simple daily multivitamin. However, some companies are now putting all of the needed nutrients together in one or two different pills. In order to achieve the optimal levels I recommend, you will most likely need to take several (four to eight tablets) daily. The more antioxidants you take and the more variation your supplement provides the better. Also be sure that you are getting all the recommended levels of the minerals and the B-cofactors.
You need to spend a little time investigating the nutritional company you choose. You can locate information on the company鈥檚 website or you may need to call the company directly. Most importantly, you want a company that follows pharmaceutical-grade Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). This means that they purchase pharmaceutical-grade raw materials and then follow pharmaceutical-grade Good Manufacturing Practices in producing their supplements. These companies produce what is called pharmaceutical-grade supplements, meaning similar guidelines are followed for manufacturing their products as companies making over-the-counter or prescription medications. The government does not require the manufacturers of nutritional supplements to do this; still, some nutritional companies put this extra effort into the manufacturing of their products to provide their customers with the assurance that they are getting what is on the label. These high-quality manufacturers will put the actual amounts of the nutrients found in their products on the label and give full disclosure of all the ingredients. You also want to find an expiration date on the bottle and the company鈥檚 full address.
Another aspect of quality that needs to be considered is whether or not the manufacturer of your nutritional supplements follows what are known as U.S. Pharmacopoeia (USP) standards. These are government guidelines that assure consumers that their medications and supplement tablets are of the highest quality and will dissolve properly and be readily absorbed into the body. Pharmaceutical-grade GMP鈥檚 would be rendered worthless if the company does not also follow USP standards for the dissolution of their tablets. If the tablet does not dissolve properly, it does not matter what they put in them. Choosing a company that follows the USP guidelines is certainly a step in the right direction.
Balance and completeness is another very critical aspect of choosing a high-quality nutritional supplement. Just like there are drug-interactions, there are also nutrient interactions that can create poor absorption and poor interactions. This is probably the most difficult aspect for the average consumer to really know or understand. Therefore it is critical to choose a company that understands completeness and balance in their products.
Another aspect to consider when you are researching a particular company is where it markets its products. A company that markets internationally usually has to follow higher standards than those who market only in the United States. Canada, Australia, and Western European countries have the highest standards for the manufacturing of nutritional supplements. Canada and Australia presently have some of the most restrictive requirements for nutritional supplements.
Starting Your Nutritional Program
Over 80 to 90% of my patients are able to start taking their nutritional supplements with absolutely no problems. The cellular nutrition that I recommend provides nutrients that you get from foods but at levels you just are not able to obtain from your foods. These are not herbs nor do they have any pharmaceutical properties. They are merely nutrients that our bodies need to function at its optimal level. My cellular nutritional recommendations have been developed to provide all the essential nutrients to the cell at these optimal or advance levels that have been shown to provide a health benefit in our medical literature. The level of the nutritionals provided in these recommendations are all well within safe parameters. However, you will be nourishing your body more effectively than you have ever nourished it before. The medical literature has shown us that when you supplement your body with these high quality, complete and balanced nutritional supplements that there are several health benefits. Remember, taking supplements is about health鈥攏ot disease. Over time of supplementing a good diet and exercise program, you will not only optimize your body鈥檚 natural antioxidant defense system, but also, its natural immune and repair system. Your body will also now be able to begin to remove waste products (toxins) more effectively from the body. A small percentage of my patients (less than 10 to 20%) may experience some mild detoxification reactions.
Detoxification:
The most common detoxification reaction is mild muscle aches and/or mild headaches. These symptoms will usually pass within a few days to a week or two. If the discomfort is not unbearable, I simply have my patients continue their nutritionals as I have recommended. However, occasionally there is a more severe reaction. The patient is not in danger; rather, the amounts of nutrients are just too much too fast. In this case, I have my patients quit their supplements for a few days until the reaction subsides. I will then have them start back on their program but initially at lower doses (approximately one third of the recommended dose). Once they are tolerating this amount of supplementation, I suggest slowly building up to the recommended doses.
Some of my patients actually develop a "detox" skin rash somewhere on their body. As you know, the skin is an important route for ridding the body鈥檚 toxins. This rash is a dry, red rash that looks almost like a mild sunburn. Some people confuse this with an allergic reaction to the supplements. I have never seen an allergic reaction to the high-quality nutritional supplements I recommend.
Patients may also experience some aspect of loose stools or even diarrhea. This again is a common "detox" reaction because the GI tract is another prime route for eliminating toxins from the body. This symptom will usually diminish within 7 to 10 days. It is an important part of the detoxification and healing process. Therefore, I usually encourage my patients to continue the supplements as recommended unless their bottom gets too sore. I will then again recommend lower doses of the supplements until they feel better and then begin adding the supplements back more slowly until the recommended doses are reached.
Natural Relaxation Response:
A small percentage of patients develop a natural relaxation response when minerals are absorbed into their body. This is of great concern to those patients who have just been told that nutritional supplementation may potentially improve their energy level. They take the supplements as recommended only to find themselves more fatigued and dragging themselves around throughout their day. If you experience this response, I recommend that you take all of your minerals with a light bedtime snack. This allows you to take advantage of your body鈥檚 response while getting a good night鈥檚 sleep.
Stomach Upset:
A small percentage of patients have difficulty tolerating vitamin C. It can cause an upset stomach that will usually become evident a couple days after starting their nutritional program. The vitamin C I recommend usually is found in the Antioxidant Tablet. If you are experiencing significant nausea, I suggest taking just one Antioxidant Tablet with the largest meal. Once this level of supplementation is better tolerated, I suggest slowly adding another Antioxidant Tablet to the next largest meal. I anticipate building them up to the recommended level of supplementation, but sometimes this is just not possible. For those extremely sensitive, I advise just taking the amount of Antioxidant Tablets that they can tolerate even if this is just one or two per day.

dreaded disease and refers to all malignant tumors caused by the abnormal growth of a body cell or a group of cells. It is today the second largest killer in the world, next only to heart ailments. The term covers more than 200 diseases.
The majority of cancers occur in the age group 50-60. Sex does not affect the incidence of the disease. It, however, affects the site of growth. In men, cancer is usually found in the intestines, the prostate and the lungs. In women, it occurs mostly in the breast tissues, uterus, gall bladder, and thyroid.
Symptoms: The symptoms of cancer vary according to the site of the growth. The American Cancer Society has prescribed seven signs or danger signals in general which may indicate the presence of cancer. These are: a sore that does not heal; change in bowel or bladder habits; unusual bleeding or discharge; thickening or lump in breast or elsewhere; indigestion or difficulty in swallowing; obvious change in a wart or a mole, and a persistent and nagging cough or hoarseness. Other symptoms may include unexplained loss of weight, particularly in older people, a change in skin color, and changes in the menstrual periods, especially bleeding between periods.
Causes: The prime cause of cancer is not known. Certain cancer-causing substances, known as carcinogens, however, increase the chances of getting the disease. About 80% of cancers are caused by environmental factors, 40% of male cancers in India are linked with tobacco, a known cancer-causing agent. The consumption of pan, bettlenut, tobacco, and slaked lime has been linked with lung and throat cancers. Heavy consumption of alcoholic drinks can cause esophageal, stomach, and liver cancers. Occupational exposure to industrial pollutants such as asbestos, nickel, tar, soot, and high doses of x-rays can lead to skin and lung cancers and leukemia. Other factors contributing to cancer are vital infections, trauma, hormone imbalance, and malnutrition. Many well-known biologists and naturopaths, however, believe that a faulty diet is the root cause of cancer. Investigations indicate that the cancer incidence is in direct proportion to the amount of animal protein, particularly meat, in the diet. Dr. Willard J. Visek, a renowned research scientist explained recently a link between excessive meat eating and cancer. According to him, the villain is ammonia, the carcinogenic by-product of meat digestion.
Treatment: The effective treatment of cancer consists of a complete change in diet, besides total elimination of all environmental sources of carcinogens, such as smoking and carcinogenic chemicals in air, water and food. There has recently been a surge of popular interest in the concept that diet is not just a minor, but rather a major factor in both the development and the prevention of cancer. The disease can be prevented and even treated by dietary programs that include 鈥榥atural foods 鈥?and the use of megavitamin supplements.
As a first step, the patient should cleanse the system by thoroughly relieving constipation and making all the organs of elimination - the skin, lungs, liver, kidneys and bowels - active. Enemas should be used to cleanse the colon. For the first four or five days, the patient should take only juicy fruits like oranges, grapefruits, lemons, apples, peaches, pears, pineapples and tomatoes. Vegetable juices are also useful, especially carrot juice.
After a few days of an exclusive fruit diet, the patient may be given a nourishing alkaline-based diet. It should consist of 100% natural foods, with emphasis on raw fruits and vegetables, particularly carrots, green leafy vegetables, cabbage, onion, garlic, cucumber, asparagus, beets, and tomatoes. A minimum requirement of high quality protein, mostly from vegetable sources such as almonds, millet, sesame seeds, sprouted seeds and grains, may be added to the diet.
Dr. Ann Wigmore of Boston, U.S.A., the well-known naturopath and a pioneer in the field of living food nutrition, has been testing the effect of a drink made of fresh wheatgrass in the treatment of leukemia. She claims to have cured several cases of this disease by this method. Dr. Wigmore points out that by furnishing the body with live minerals, vitamins, trace elements, and chlorophyll through wheatgrass juice, it may be able to repair itself.
Johanna Brandt, the author of the book 鈥楾he Grape Cure鈥?has advocated an exclusive grape diet for the treatment of cancer. She discovered this mode of cure in 1925, while experimenting on herself by fasting and dieting alternately in the course of her nine-year battle with cancer. She claimed to have cured herself by this mode of treatment. She recommends a fast for two or three days so as to prepare the system for the change of diet.
After the short fast, the patient should have a grape meat every two hours from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. This should be followed for a week or two even a month or two, in chronic cases of long standing. The patient should begin the grape cure with a small quantity of 30, 60, to 90 grams per meal, gradually increasing this to double the quantity. In course of time, about 250 grams may safely be taken as a meal.
Recent researches have shown that certain vitamins can be successfully employed in the fight against cancer and that they can increase the life expectancy of some terminal cancer patients. According to recent Swedish studies vitamin C in large doses can be an effective prophylactic agent against cancer. Noted Japanese scientist, Dr. Fukunir Morishige, and his colleagues who have been examining the healing potential of vitamin C for the last 30 years, have recently found that a mixture of vitamin C and copper compound has lethal effects on cancer.
According to several studies, vitamin A exerts an inhibiting effect on carcinogenesis. It is one of the most important aids to the body鈥檚 defense system to fight and prevent cancer. Dr. Leonida Santamaria and his colleagues at the University of Pavia in Italy have uncovered preliminary evidence suggesting that beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A may actually inhibit skin cancer by helping the body thwart the cancer-causing process known as oxidation.
Recent studies from all over the world suggest that a liberal use of green and yellow vegetables and fruits can prevent cancer. The 20-years old, ongoing Japanese study found that people who ate green and yellow vegetables every day had a decreased risk of developing lung, stomach, and other cancers. A Harvard University study of more than 1,200 elderly Massachusetts residents found that those who reported the highest consumption of carrots, squash, tomatoes, salads, or leafy green vegetables, dried fruits, fresh strawberries or melon had a decreased risk of cancer.
The other useful measures are plenty of rest, complete freedom from worries and mental stress and plenty of fresh pure air.
Hope this helps, Good Luck. I've heard great things (through a friend who has esophageal cancer, inoperable) about intravenous vitamin C. She's having an amazing reaction to it, tumor is shrinking and she's feeling really good. Not sure how it applies to your personal situation, but it might be worth researching. There are some actual "cancer cures" using things you can buy at your food store and "how to" instructions for how to cure cancer at this web site.
