Cancer & Chemotherapy

Treatment Information & Research

The information below provides a general overview and may not apply to everyone. This is educational content and should not replace professional medical consultation.

How Does Chemotherapy Work?

Traditional chemotherapy artificially manipulates insulin to raise blood sugar levels and then injects toxic agents that eliminate actively dividing cells.

⚠️ The Challenge

Unfortunately, the toxins don't differentiate cancer cells from healthy cells. Chemotherapy destroys not only fast-growing cancer cells but also other fast-growing healthy cells.

Reproductive System

Potential genetic damage

Bone Marrow

Affects blood production

🚨 Critical Side Effect

One of the major side effects is a low count of infection-fighting white blood cells, putting patients at risk for life-threatening infections that may require hospitalization.

Risks for Healthcare Workers

📰 MSNBC Reports: Increased Cancer Risk

Hospital and clinic personnel who handle toxic chemotherapy drugs are at increased risk of getting cancer.

Research Findings:

• Multiple studies spanning decades found contamination where workers prepare/deliver chemotherapy
• Studies found these agents in blood and urine of nurses and handlers
• Danish study of 92,000+ nurses found elevated risk for breast, thyroid, nervous system, and brain cancers

💡 Key Insight: Drugs used to treat cancer have the potential to cause cancer in healthy people exposed to them - even in small amounts.

🌿 Holistic Medicine Approach

Holistic medicine optimizes a patient's own natural healing capacities, allowing cancer to resolve normally without the toxic exposure risks associated with chemotherapy.

Research: Treatment-Induced Cancer Risk

📊 Breast Cancer Treatment Study

Journal of Clinical Oncology, Volume 18:2836-2842, August 2000

Study Details

• Timeframe: 1982-1996
• Participants: 3,093 women with breast cancer
• Treatment Split:
- 57% radiotherapy alone
- 31% radiotherapy + chemotherapy

Alarming Results

• 10 women developed acute leukemia
• Radiotherapy alone: normal leukemia risk
• Combined treatment: 28x higher risk
• Mitoxantrone significantly increased risk

🚨 Women receiving combined radiotherapy and chemotherapy had 28 times higher leukemia risk than the general population

Cancer: A Preventable Lifestyle Disease

📈 The Statistics

90-95%

of cancer cases are caused by environment and lifestyle

Source: Anand P, et al. Cancer is a preventable disease that requires major lifestyle changes. Pharm Res. 2008 Sep;25(9):2097-116

🚬 Tobacco Exposure

25-30%

of cancer deaths linked to tobacco

🍎 Diet Quality

30-35%

of cancer deaths linked to diet

Other Lifestyle Risk Factors:

Alcohol

Sun Exposure

Pollutants

Infections

Stress

Obesity

Inactivity

Poor Diet

Integrative Treatment Approach

🎯 Comprehensive Care Strategy

A combination of exposure to toxins/chemicals, malnutrition, sedentary lifestyle, stress, and genetic predisposition are primary cancer causes. Since these factors cause cancer, it makes sense that eliminating or reducing them can help reverse it.

💡 Key Principle: If causative factors can be addressed, cancer resolution becomes possible through natural healing processes.

👥 Building Your Healthcare Team

More than ever, cancer requires consulting with both holistic and traditional medicine professionals. This is not the time to entrust your life to only one doctor's views.

Experienced Oncologists

Holistic Practitioners

Cancer Nutritionists

🌱 Cancer Survivors' Experience

Cancer survivors we have met chose the holistic route (and refused chemotherapy) and it worked for them. This may or may not be the right course of action, however, adopting a healthy lifestyle can only help in the healing process.

Nutritional Support During Chemotherapy

🚨 The Hidden Crisis: Malnutrition

We associate hair loss with chemotherapy, but loss of appetite is a far more serious problem. Chemo and radiation cause nausea, vomiting, altered taste/smell, sore mouth/throat, diarrhea, and constipation.

📊 According to Patrick Quillin, Ph.D., RD, CNS:
40% or more of cancer patients actually die from malnutrition

👨‍⚕️ Expert Recommendations

Mitchell Gaynor, MD (Cornell University, Gaynor Integrative Oncology) recommends including a cancer nutrition expert as part of your healthcare team to:

Assess Vitamins

Determine deficiency levels

Check Toxicity

Heavy metal assessment

Immune Function

Customize nutrition strategy

🥇 Top Nutritional Support Picks

🐟 Fish / Fish Oil

Omega-3 EPA may help immune cells recognize and destroy cancer cells, slowing their spread.

→ Best & worst fish to eat
→ Cod liver oil benefits

🌿 Curcumin

Induces cancer cell suicide without damaging healthy cells.

Dosage: 100-800mg daily or liberal use of turmeric in foods

🧄 Garlic

May improve appetite by reducing chemotherapy and radiation side effects. Protects healthy cells.

Selenium Cuts Death Rate in Half!

A daily supplement of 200 microgram of selenium has been shown in a large placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical study to cut the death rate from cancer in half.

Study Results

• Large group given 200 mcg selenium daily
• Control group given placebo
• 7-year study period
• 50% fewer cancer deaths in selenium group

Availability & Cost

• Available at pharmacies & health stores
• About $5 for 50-100 tablets
• Only 10 cents per day
• Published in JAMA

🔬 NCI research: May reduce men's prostate cancer risk by 60%

Could It Be That Easy to Cure Cancer?

📺 A World Without Cancer - The Story of Vitamin B17

G. Edward Griffin marshals evidence that cancer is a deficiency disease - like scurvy or pellagra - aggravated by the lack of an essential food compound in modern man's diet. That substance is vitamin B17. In its purified form, it's known as Laetrile.

The Political Question

Why has orthodox medicine waged war against this non-drug approach? The answer is found not in science, but in politics - based upon the hidden economic and power agenda of those who dominate the medical establishment.

"With billions spent on research and drug sales, with fund-raising at an all-time high, there are now more people making a living from cancer than dying from it. If the solution were found in a simple vitamin, this gigantic industry could be wiped out overnight. The result is that the politics of cancer therapy is more complicated than the science."
