Cancer Quick Facts

Since many aboriginal tribes (And hell, the Eskimo people in particular) thrived & lived   to see triple digit lifespans whilst subsisting almost entirely upon Ketogenic Diets, I would  say it stands to reason it isn’t harmful.  I’m not claiming anything magical about Keto. I’m saying specifically,  my ancestors subsisted from womb-to-tomb on a very similar diet and they survived to see very very old age.  You’re welcome to attribute that specifically to keto if you’d like but I’d combine it with the genetics that were passed down to create a heartier healthier human.   Ketogenic and Cancer  Warning Advise!

Why does it stand to reason that it would be harmful? Just because it’s different?

Is the ketogenic diet healthy or unhealthy?
My answer: Both.
There are two ways to do keto:
The “right” way:  Eating high-quality meats, veggies, & fats.
The “dirty” way:  Eating “keto” foods that are high in “bad” fats.
Both ways will get you into ketosis, but the “dirty” way will have unhealthy effects on    your body in the long term. The true answer is that the keto diet can be the healthiest    way a human can eat or it can send you to an early grave — it all depends on the way        that you apply the diet to reach the metabolic state.

Humans haven’t eaten the crazy amounts of carbs we eat now until very recently in our existence. Agriculture is a fairly new thing in the history of man. No way were we eating tons of carbs by just gathering, it would have been s0 much more efficient to kill a large animal,  eat it’s meat and organs  (which supply tons of nutrients that veggies and fruits also do,   we don’t get now because most people don’t eat organs) dry out the remaining meat and eat it over a long period of time.

Humans weren’t growing wheat  and rice  and storing them for the winter at the dawn         of humanity. I would say it stands to reason that humans are more capable of sustaining on   a large meat and offal diet than one consisting of large amounts of carbs.
“Why does it stand to reason that it would be harmful”

I’m not saying IT’S HARMFUL or even I THINK IT’S HARMFUL, but just that, many things are totally fine when done in controlled ways or done for limited periods of time, but are harmful when extended or taken to the extreme.

For example, fasting is healthy, but not eating for a very long period of time can cause starvation and death.

Another example, consuming small amounts of nutmeg can be good or fine for you,        but consume too much and it can literally kill you.

I’m not saying this means that a little ketosis is good for you and a lot is bad for you,       just that it seems that it could potentially be the case given how many other examples       of such situations there are,  so I thought it best to ask and make sure!  It’s my body      after all!

Keto is easy on the liver purely due to the negative stimulus of a huge reduction in fructose. You could probably find a way to still be hard on your liver eating bad and contaminated food while on keto, but it would still be better than a high sugar diet.     Many liver specialist encouraged this diet for weight loss to help with fatty liver 🙂

Carbohydrate intake (as would be expected in the Standard American Diet) is       associated with liver fibrosis and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.  Therefore,       Removing carbohydrates from the diet – and, therefore, following a Very-Low-Carbohydrate-High-FAT (VLCHF) – is associated with reversal of pathologies.
So I suggest that following a ketogenic diet is absolutely one of the best things                  you can do for your liver.

The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that in medicine is used primarily to treat difficult-to-control epilepsy in children. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. Normally, the carbohydrates contained in food are converted into glucose, which is then transported around the body and is also particularly important in fueling brain function.

However, if little carbohydrate remains in the diet, the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies. The ketone bodies pass into the brain and replace glucose as an energy source. An elevated level of ketone bodies in the blood, a state known as ketosis, leads to a reduction in the frequency of epileptic seizures. Around half of children and young people with epilepsy who have tried some form of this diet saw the number of seizures drop by at least half, and the effect persists even after discontinuing the diet.

Some evidence indicates that adults with epilepsy may benefit from the diet, and that         a less strict regimen, such as a modified Atkins diet, is similarly effective. Potential side effects may include constipation, high cholesterol, growth slowing, acidosis, and kidney stones.

Ketosis happens when your body resorts to fat for energy after your stored carbohydrates have been burned out.  It often occurs when people fast and exercise. But most commonly, ketosis occurs in people who eat low-carb, high-protein diets, which is called the ketogenic diets. There’s some evidence ketosis can tax your kidneys, leading to kidney stones and low blood pressure. In diabetics, a variant of ketosis can be fatal. However, a small but growing group of health professionals say ketosis is not the poison  you’ve been lead to think it was, and it may be better for you than high-carbohydrate eating. Your specific dietary habits are best advised by your healthcare provider or nutritionist.

Ketosis Facts
Ketosis happens when you get a buildup of a substance known as ketones, or ketone bodies in your blood. They are released when your body’s carbohydrate stores run out   and you have to break down fat stores for energy. Dieters try deliberately cause ketosis because it makes you feel less hungry.  However,  ketosis also makes you feel tired and sluggish, because as “Medical News Today” reports, ketones aren’t the most efficient source of energy, especially for your brain. Ketosis can also harm your kidneys.

Kidney Failure
Annually, more than 100,000 people are diagnosed with kidney failure in the United States,  reports the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases,        or NIDDK. The condition is marked by the inability of your kidneys to do their job of eliminating wastes.  One treatment for kidney failure is dialysis, a draining & lengthy artificial blood cleansing process.  Another option is a kidney transplant. The NIDDK  states that the cost of care for patients with kidney failure reached close to $32 billion       in 2005. The federal government subsidizes some kidney-related healthcare.

Ketosis Effects on the Kidneys
Very high levels of ketones make your blood more acidic and overburden your kidneys. “Medical News Today” reports one of the side effects of a ketogenic diet is the formation   of kidney stones.  In processing higher amounts of protein,  your kidneys work hard and  are forced  to excrete more sodium,  calcium and potassium,  as well as filter more of the byproducts of protein metabolism. This extra fluid & electrolyte loss can cause low blood pressure, another function mediated by your kidneys. Ketosis in the presence of diabetes can lead to ketoacidosis and coma, and can be life threatening.

Ketosis Controversy
A National Institutes of Health researcher, Richard Veech, argues that what’s being reported about ketosis is all wrong. He told the “New York Times” in 2002 that ketosis is   a normal metabolic state, and arguably the “natural state of man.” He and others say that the media and some medical authorities have confused the public about ketosis, partially out of the real threat it poses to diabetics. However, for the rest of us, says Veech, ketosis  is simply an evolution-driven response to the need to survive on stored fat. Veech goes a step further saying ketones are a more preferred fuel source than carbohydrates.

The Times reported in that article that previous research showed that the heart and brain run 25 percent more efficiently on ketones than blood sugar.  In 2004,  a group of Kuwait University researchers reported in the journal  “Experimental & Clinical Cardiology”  that they found no adverse effects of using a ketogenic diet in a sample of obese people over 6 months (Ref 6). If you want to start a high-protein or otherwise ketogenic eating regimen, it’s best to consult your healthcare provider before doing so, and also seek regular care to ensure adequate nutrition.   Which Type Keto is right for you By Dr. Josh Axe!!!

Clearing Up Kidney Confusion: Part Deux
It’s funny how our mental state really affects how we write and what we are interested in. When I wrote the introduction to this piece I was just getting settled into our new place in Santa Fe, NM and was looking at over a month at home to work and write. Then a number of wacky events happened, and I’ve been home about 7 days out of the last month and I’ve only made it about 70 pages into Kon-Tiki.  Ouch.  Now I’m home for 8 days and will then be gone for a project that will take me completely off the grid for nearly 3 weeks.

No phone, email…nada. When I sat down to do this kidney piece it was with a mindset.      I had a ton of time and could really sink my teeth into it.  Now I’m time crunched and anxious that I will get it done at all!  Up front here I’d like to thank Mat  “The Kraken” Lalonde with his help on some literature for this piece. Any inaccuracies however are       my own tomfoolery. If I wanted to cut to the chase I could boil this whole thing down         to the following:

1-Dietary protein DOES NOT CAUSE KIDNEY DAMAGE.                                                            2-Chronically elevated BLOOD GLUCOSE levels DO cause kidney damage.                              3-Dietary fructose REALLY causes kidney damage.                                                                       4-Many kidney issues have either a hyper-insulinemic characteristic, an autoimmune characteristic, and or a combination of autoimmunity or hyperinsulinism. A standard, low-ish carb paleo diet can fix most of these issues.                                                                        5-For serious kidney damage a low-protein, ketogenic diet can be remarkably therapeutic. 6-If you get kidney stones that are from oxalates, reduce your green veggie intake (spinach for example) and have other types of veggies.                                                                                  7-If you get kidney stones that are from urate salts, you are likely NOT following a low-ish carb paleo diet, you likely have insulin resistance and your liver is not processing uric acid.

Liver damage caused by ketosis?
When the liver is hot, so are your emotions. When the liver is unstressed and cool,                 you are calm and relaxed. Altered or hot emotions, is the liver’s attempt to alert you         that it needs help. Think of your liver as an oven. If it is cool, your emotions are even          and regular. The hotter the liver gets, the more intense your emotions become. https://www.wellnesscenter.net/the-liver-kidneys-and-gallbladder/

The stressors we all face in our daily lives can often be ignored and pushed past,                but have you ever wondered how stress affects your body? Well, it is a well known           fact that staying tense and stressed about things can take a toll on your heart, and digestion and even your immunity.

In this post Dr. Bhavesh Vora, consultant nephrologist and transplant physician,         Asian Heart Institute, Mumbai, tells you how stress can affect your kidneys.

How does stress affect your kidney function?
Increases your blood pressure: Stress can give rise to hypertension, and since high      blood pressure is one of the leading causes of kidney disease (apart from diabetes),      stress can lead to an increase in blood pressure and have an adverse effect on your     kidney function.
Can cause your blood sugar levels to plummet: Stress can worsen your diabetes and      often is the reason for uncontrolled blood sugar.
Increases the number of cigarettes you smoke: A common phenomenon in people        these days is to smoke to relieve stress. This is again a very bad habit as smoking is        very harmful to your kidneys as it causes a reduction in the blood circulation in the    organ, which in turn can lead to kidney disease. You may also like to read about the          25 things that happen in your body when you smoke.

Can sudden high levels of stress have an effect on your kidneys?
Not really, but yes it can compound over time and lead to kidney disease.                            For instance, if you drink less water or smoke too much due to stress,                                 then in the long run it can lead to kidney disease.
Can kidney damage due to stress related ailments be reversed with a healthy lifestyle?
Yes. In fact, it is possible at any stage — even when the kidney damage is severe. For instance, if a person is going to need dialysis in the next five years, with the right lifestyle modifications he 0r she will most likely need it only after about 10 to-15 years or may not require it at all in his life time → lifetime. You may like to read about the natural ways to keep your kidneys healthy.
That being said, while the structural damage that is present cannot be reversed, the functional damage can be. Therefore, by making essential changes in your lifestyle such    as drinking enough water and staying hydrated, reducing stress levels, controlling your blood sugar and blood pressure levels, eating healthy, quitting smoking and drinking & exercising regularly, you will be able to see a significant change in your kidney function.

Does Ketosis Cause Kidney Damage?
Does a diet that is mildly ketotic cause Kidney or Liver Damage.
It has not been associated with kidney damage or disease in individuals who have normally functioning kidneys. Concerns regarding undue stress on the kidneys are       often aimed at very low carbohydrate, very high protein ketogenic diets.

Few studies have shown any actual damage, however.
Dietary ketosis is among the most maligned and misunderstood concepts in nutrition medicine. Particularly among researchers who don’t actually treat patients, ketosis (is     the presence of ketone bodies in the urine) is often confused with ketoacidosis, which         is a life-threatening build-up of ketone bodies due to muscle wasting and dehydration       as in states of shock or uncontrolled Type 1 diabetes.
In the Type 1 diabetic, the absence of insulin leads to a toxic build-up of blood glucose   and an extreme break-down of fat and also muscle tissue.  This condition doesn’t occur      in individuals who have a small amount of insulin,  whether from natural production or artificially administered. Whereas patients in ketoacidosis are also closely monitored in Intensive Care Units,  individuals in ketosis are amongst the healthy,  active population. Dietary ketosis is a natural adjustment to the body’s reduced intake of carbohydrates as the body shifts its primary source of energy from carbohydrates to stored fat.

The presence of insulin keeps ketone production in check…. so that a mild, beneficial   ketosis is achieved. Blood glucose levels are stabilized within a normal range and there      is no break-down of healthy muscle tissue.  It would also be difficult to make a credible argument against ketosis, which has been used successfully among both healthy people seeking improved fitness and nutritionally fragile children with epilepsy, diabetes, and cancer.

There has been speculation that ketosis can put undue stress on the kidneys (McArdle, WD, Essentials of exercise physiology. Philadelphia, PA Lea & Febiger, 1994) though few clinical studies have shown any damage.  In perhaps the highest protein intake studied,   an adult male bodybuilder  consumed an average of 2,263 calories,  71% from protein or 2.27 grams per pound for 10 weeks. His weight dropped from 168 lbs. to 139 lbs. and his body fat from 16% to 4.4%.  Blood analysis found an increase  in a reliable test of kidney function called  “blood urea nitrogen” or  BUN from 16 to 53 (normal is 6 to 25) without evidence of kidney damage. We would not advocate such high protein intake for such an extended period, however, it’s also interesting to note how much people have pushed the limits without suffering consequences. Everyone is in some degree of ketosis all day.

The most sensitive tests of ketosis (“NMR” and “blood ketone level”) show that we all have ketones under any condition. For instance, anyone off the street (not dieting or exercising, having just eaten) may have a ketosis reading of 0.003 to 0.01;  most of us are up to about 50 after not eating overnight;  after completing a marathon,  runners have readings of over 100;  in the first week of a diet (whether or not it’s “ketogenic”),  the readings are around 200-300. There is no definition for the precise level that constitutes “ketosis.” Most weight control and ketogenic epilepsy or cancer treatment programs define ketosis as visible color on a urine dipstick.
The problem is, we may have enough ketones in our urine to turn the stick a different  color at 6:00 but not at 6:15.  It is a very crude,  and very transient,  measurement. Some    of the benefits  many people experience  while in a state of dietary ketosis for intentional weight loss may include rapid weight loss, decreased hunger & cravings, improved mood, increased energy and, as long as protein intake is adequate, protection of lean mass.

The closest to damage from a low carb diet comes from the odd nutcase who tries to combine keto with no liquid,  which does put stress on the kidney (just like any other      diet which does not include liquid) but because keto is slightly diuretic, you’ll see the effects a little quicker.

I don’t know where to start.

Okay, I’ll start with the assumption that keto is high protein. No, it’s not, it’s moderate protein compared with standard BB diets. The dangers of protein to the kidneys would apply far more to a 40/40/20 diet  than to a keto one.  If they applied.  But they don’t. People with damaged kidneys can not tolerate high levels of protein. So some “experts” have extrapolated this to mean that high levels of protein can damage healthy kidneys. Except there has not been one single case of this in the history of recorded medicine.

Most keto diets do not recommend 14 days or less, that’s the classic way to do it wrong. Most low carb diets recommend making it a lifestyle.

And again, where is the evidence that ketones do any damage to liver or kidneys or any other organ?  Not a single case.  The closest to damage from a low carb diet comes from the odd nutcase who tries to combine keto with no liquid,  which does put stress on the kidney (just like any other diet which does not include liquid)  because keto is slightly diuretic, you’ll see the effects a little quicker.
When protein is deflected in this manner, it releases nitrogen into the blood stream, placing a burden on the kidneys as they try to excrete excessive urinary water due to sodium loss.  When fat is deflected,  the breakup releases fatty acids, or ketones, into        the bloodstream, further burdening the kidneys. If ketosis continues for long periods        of time,  serious damage to the liver  and kidneys can occur,  which is why most low-carbohydrate, or ketogenic diets recommend only short-term use, typically 14 days.

So I’m about to fire up a keto regiment (again, I always fall off the wagon after about            2 months). Just searching around as it seems the other two times I started it I tend to   have diarrhea a lot. Anyway, came across this. Any truth to this?

Keto makes me thirsty and will often drink constantly as long as my glass of water is full.
There was a girl who did a series of nutcase diets, finishing with low carb and zero liquid, and she died. She is widely quoted as an example of the danger of keto diets, not as an example of Eating Disorder.

Normal people drink as normal on keto, and have no problems. If your dumb enough        to do something stupid like not drink water…nature has no choice but to end your life…..dumb…. DRINK WATER!!

Does a ketogenic diet damage or overstress your liver?

Matt Saks, studied at New York University School of Medicine
Answered Jun 8, 2018
I have not seen any evidence that supports this notion.
If your liver is healthy, it should have no issues meeting the (minimal) metabolic demands placed on the body by a ketogenic diet. Just remember that when you are on a highly carb-restricted diet,  s0 you need to be getting the majority of your daily calories from fat,  not protein. Replacing too many of the calories from carbohydrates with calories from protein may have an adverse effect on the kidney over time. A proper diet includes no more than 30-35% of daily calories from protein.
On the flip side, a diet high in carbohydrates (particularly fructose) is very stressful on the liver over time.  The reason for this is due to the chronic conversion of blood sugar into fat that surrounds the liver. Over time this can lead to liver inflammation in a condition called non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)—also known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

I just had a blood test done after being strictly ketogenic for the past 5 months.                 My triglycerides, cholesterol, a1c and every other biomarker suggesting inflammation or health concerns are better than they’ve ever been in my adult life. That’s not a guarantee  of course that anyone will do better on it but it is strong evidence suggesting that at least some people will have much better health outcomes on keto.

Point Counter Point: Delina MacDonald Yuill states; Research and Studies have shown Eskimos are not living in ketosis the body did everything it could t0 altered metabolism genes to make sure the body did not stay in ketosis. S0 nature doesn’t seem to want the human body in ketosis and Eskimos are a great example of how the human body adapts itself to human conditions and they don’t live in ketosis even on a high-fat diet.

Anyhow as I read this there are so many things in this article to dissect. realistic all carbs aren’t bad carbohydrates. In fact: broccoli sprouts,  broccoli and other well meaning carbs always seem to get bundled in together with cakes and cookies.  This is the biggest failure to begin with and the greatest starting point to begin your healing.  We must exclude bad fats like vegetable oils  and hydrogenated  or  highly processed oils.  Just so you know my mind is absolutely not wrapped against keto. My belief in certain instances a temporary  diet like this can be very beneficial. But long-term it can be very detrimental!

I’m in a two-year program for the fifth year because I do – do extra research. Because           I don’t always take what everybody is handing me — at face value.  Depending on which type of cancer I think it could  be very therapeutic. But for breast cancer for instance one should know that fat actually helps metastasized breast cancer cells. I think the metabolic approach to cancer is the best and for some that will be the ketogenic and for others it will not be the right diet. If I had brain cancer I would absolutely do ketogenic diet.

One has to know what works better for themselves after they do their own biological testing through SNP variants.. and not just because somebody said the ketogenic diet      will work for them. I went ketogenic when I was first diagnosed and my liver enzymes went through the roof which is why I had DNA testing through 23 and me — and also uploaded the data to find my fitness SNP variants and learned I don’t digest fat well.

I want people to realize that not everything works for everyone it’s fine it worked for Elaine Cantin. But not everybody is like Elaine and we really have to get to know our own bodies through testing and Allergy Testing. S0 whatever tests we can possibly afford, We need to realize that the more you know about how your body works chemically. The easier it will be to determine how to heal it.

I have no visible signs that was showing me that I wasn’t digesting these fats properly.

No pain.. no signs of gas or any indigestion whatsoever.. which is why it was actually a shock given that I was not able to do keda genic. So if one tries ketogenic and just can’t seem to get there liver enzymes down. Maybe they should consider getting SNP variants tested.. there are many ways nowadays you don’t have to go through 23 and me. There     many companies that do it all in one step now.
I suggest to anyone trying Keto to get their liver enzymes tested at least six weeks in then maybe every 2 months for 6 unless there are no issues at all in the first 2 bloodwork. In my case I’m also looking at the metabolic approach to cancer. Through The Eyes of Dr. Nasha Winters; I am on the waiting list — to have her speak to my practitioner — in Toronto at the Medicor Cancer Center about my specific case. She takes all of the person’s blood work for the last year and develops a program based on that… for some it’s keto for others it’s not… it’s all dependent on the person’s metabolic numbers.
Ken: Dr. Nasha Winters is very Pro Keto in fact she used it to cure her own cancer… however she takes individual blood work and will customize a protocol admittingly it’s   not always keto for some people just won’t do well on it – depending on their metabolic stasis.. and many times when you say metabolic many people think you’re talkin about digestion I’m talking about at a cellular level?
I follow Jack Kruse religiously when you listen to him for any length of time you learn      his belief that food doesn’t really matter as long as you have the DHA and get the sunlight. In fact:  he talks more about getting out into the sunlight  at 7 a.m. then he does ketogenic and I’ve seen him talk where he says he’s not necessarily procured genic to disease!!!

Jack Kruse thinks by getting outside first thing in the morning — to reset your circadian rhythm he wants you out all day long for D. What he has to say since vitamin D is not what he’s talking about necessarily. What he wants — is the full spectrum of light in your eyes at sunrise..  send signals to your skin preparing them for the afternoon sun which is how you don’t get burned. I have a diet very rich in Omega-3s — but I definitely have my vegetables everyday and I would not be considered that ketogenic ..
Mind you most diets I see today are far from being healthy because people are eating processed foods two and three times a day when they should be kept to maybe once a month.  I see people who tell me  they eat healthy  and when we go through their diet Diaries I find out that their diet – is actually atrocious and filled with toxic ingredients       in processed foods and refined oils.. and yet they are insistent they eat healthy.

I’m vegetarian because of the Methionine content. Low methionine is well documented and a strategy that the nutritional oncology Research Institute uses.. I was a client there last year and continue to follow certain aspects of that protocol and methionine is one of the pathways.. that fuels cancer.. methionine is high in animal protein. As a nutritionist students I’m interested  in many therapies  and Protocols …. As a cancer patient!  I have found my way and I’ve already been given an all-clear. In May I chose ozone insufflation and lifestyle changes including sun gazing and watching blue light exposure. With time restricted eating and a lot of detox through sauna and colon hydrotherapy.

As we as a low methionine diet with lots of fruits and vegetables.. N0 processed oil or   foods, which includes refined sugars and grains.. CBD oil and made a cannabis strain high in CBD:THC… as well as the emotional work with a counselor and energy therapist… and included acupuncture and homeopathic remedies. Then some supplements to support the blood work I had monthly,  depending on the blood work results. Which was how I chose my supplements.

 When I talked to The Amish Doctor a             few years ago he told me through his own experiences. Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez before       his untimely death had all the straight talk & answers about cancer & chemotherapy       and also  dismantling the Ketogenic diet  you would ever want to hear in many of his interviews where he calls soy poison.  ~kg.

Weeks before his unexpected death in July 2015, Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez met with ElectromagneticHealth.org’s founder, Camilla Rees, to discuss his concern about the proliferation of wireless technologies in our midst,   their link to illnesses, including cancer. We are pleased to be able to share these great words of wisdom in a video.

To learn more about the biological and health effects of electromagnetic fields from cell phones,  wireless devices,  neighborhood RF-emitting infrastructure, smart meters, and even potentially from your neighbors wireless devices, go to ElectromagneticHealth.org, Campaign for Radiation Free Schools (Facebook) or the International EMF Alliance.

Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez, a prominent alternative cancer doctor, died July 21, 2015 of an apparent heart attack at his home in New York City. Dr. Gonzalez was probably the world’s foremost expert on cancer,  often recommended  by other alternative doctors as the “go-to doctor”  with the best results for supposedly  “terminal”  cancers such as pancreatic cancer. He loved helping people with cancer.  He loved sharing his knowledge  about how to treat cancer; and he loved talking about God and discussing Biblical topics as – well – as politics and current affairs. https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/cam/hp/gonzalez-pdq

Dr. Nick graduated from Brown University, Phi Beta Kappa, magna cum laude with a degree in English Literature. He subsequently worked as a journalist at Time Inc. before pursuing premedical studies at Columbia University, and then later receiving his medical degree from Cornell University Medical College in 1983.

During a postgraduate immunology fellowship under Dr. Robert A. Good, considered       by many to be the father of modern immunology,  Dr. Nick completed a research study evaluating an aggressive nutritional therapy in the treatment of advanced cancer. Prior     to his unexpected death on July 21, 2015,  Dr. Gonzalez meticulously  documented the scientific theory of his work and proved its effectiveness.

We all know that without Dr. Gonzalez  himself here to drive his work forward,  that his groundbreaking protocols were in danger of fading into oblivion like the brilliant work of his mentors Dr. William Donald Kelley  and Dr. John Beard.  He published several books and recorded hundreds  of  hours of interviews and lectures.  He wrote more than 120 in-depth patient cancer case studies, the result of a lifetime of research and groundbreaking patient care. Case studies that would publicly legitimize a whole new approach to nothing less than curing cancer. All kinds of cancer.

Gonzalez’s influence across the alternative medicine world can’t be overstated.                  He was cherished by millions, and was prominently featured in countless books, documentary summits, interviews and articles. He collaborated extensively with      Suzanne Somers, the author of the widely acclaimed, lifesaving book, “Knockout: Interviews with Doctors Who Are Curing Cancer — And How to Prevent Getting                  It in the First Place.”   (The book is a lifesaver for those considering conventional       cancer treatments.)

See the complete collection of Dr. Gonzalez’s interviews with Robert Scott Bell at            this link. These radio interviews span four years and cover an exhaustive array of        topics on cancer prevention and advanced cancer treatments.

Dr. Gonzalez is  the author of What Went Wrong: The Truth Behind the Clinical Trial of the Enzyme Treatment of Cancer, where he blew the whistle on a concerted effort by the cancer industry to destroy evidence of a readily available, and low-cost  cancer treatment protocol that could have saved thousands of lives a year.

“Dr. Gonzalez leaves a legacy of faith, healing,  and genuine love for people and the    pursuit of medicine. We are heartbroken at this loss, but determined to keep his work    and his memory alive,” says his official website.

Dr. Gonzalez and his colleague Dr. Linda Isaacs M.D. have had remarkable success   treating cancer patients with a non-toxic nutritional protocol that incorporates some of  the principles of the late Dr. Max Gerson M.D. and the late Dr. William Donald Kelley’s protocol  which  includes  high doses  of  pancreatic enzymes  and  individualized diets depending on body type and cancer type. I have huge respect for them, not because of their theories, but because they are getting RESULTS, including reversing “incurable” stage four cancers. Two volumes documenting 112 of their successful case studies can       be found here.
Dr. Gonzalez wrote  an eight part article series for Natural Health 365  on the history       and failure of the ketogenic diet for cancer.  Dr. Gonzalez’s  nutritional cancer treatment expertise is much deeper than anyone currently promoting the ketogenic diet for cancer, because unlike anyone else promoting it, he actually treats cancer patients with nutrition every day.
There are thousands of people out there who have healed cancer naturally.

Gonzalez’s Three-Pronged Approach to Cancer Treatment
Although most of the studies done on this approach were done on pancreatic cancer,      Dr. Gonzalez uses it to treat ALL cancers, from brain cancer to leukemia. His treatment, which is based on Kelley’s work, consists of 3 protocols: diet, supplements and enzymes, and detoxification.

The Dietary Protocol:
The cornerstone of the treatment is a personalized diet based on your nutritional or metabolic type (which happens to be a key component of my own optimized nutrition plan).
Dr. Kelley originally had Ten basic diets  and ninety variations that ranged from pure    vegetarian and raw food, to heavy-protein meals that included red meat three times a day.
“In terms of diet,  Kelley also found that patients diagnosed with the typical solid tumors: tumors of the breast, lungs, stomach, pancreas, liver, colon, uterus, ovaries, and prostate needed a more vegetarian diet,” Dr. Gonzalez explains. “But he had all the gradations of a vegetarian diet; one that was 80 percent raw, one that was 80 percent cooked. So even on the vegetarian side, there were all different variations.
Some had minimal animal protein, some had fish, some had also red meat.
A patient with immune cancer (leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, and sarcomas, (which are connective tissue cancers that are related to immune cancers) tended to do best on a high-fat, high meat diet.
… Then there are balanced people that do well with a variety of foods, both plant foods  and animal products, but they don’t tend to get cancer.
Cancer tends to occur on the extremes,  the extreme vegetarians-those that tend to be      too acid-or extreme meat eaters, who tend to be too alkaline. Balanced people don’t tend  to get cancer too much. So we continued the individualized approach, as did Kelley.”

Individualized Supplementation and Enzyme Protocol:
The second component is an individualized supplement protocol, designed for your  particular metabolism. “For example,  our vegetarian patients need completely different supplements from our meat eaters. Vegetarians do very well with most of the B vitamins, while the meat eaters don’t.  The vegetarians don’t do well with vitamin A,  but the meat eaters do. The vegetarians do well with vitamin D; the meat eaters not so well with large doses, and so on,” Dr. Gonzalez explains.
“The meat eaters do well with calcium ascorbate as a vitamin C source, while the vegetarians do well with large doses of ascorbic acid. So the supplement protocols are    very individualized and very precisely engineered.”
Omega-3 fats are also prescribed, but even here Dr. Gonzalez prescribes different types    of omega-3s depending on the patient’s nutritional type.  In his experience, vegetarians,    or carbohydrate types,  tend to fare better on flaxseed oil,  which contains alpha linoleic acid (ALA) – a plant-based omega-3.
“It is thought that the conversion of the plant-based ALA into the fish-oil based Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is not that efficient,”          he says,  “But we find that our vegetarian patients actually do it very well and don’t           use the fish oil or animal-based omega-3 fatty acids as effectively.”
Chia and hemp seed oils can also be used.
Protein types, on the other hand, appear to need the EPA and the DHA and do better       on animal-based omega-3 such as krill oil.
“They don’t do well with flaxseed,” he says. “Those are the people who can’t make the conversion.”
In addition to vitamins, minerals and trace elements, he also prescribes large doses           of pancreatic enzymes.
“The essence of Kelley’s work was based on the work of Dr. Beard, which goes back to      the turn of the last century, about 110 years ago. Beard was a professor at the University    of Edinburg, an embryologist actually, not a medical researcher, who first proposed that pancreatic proteolytic enzymes are the main defense against cancer in the body and are useful as a cancer treatment,” he explains.

When treating cancer, however, he found it’s important to take the right ratio of active   and inactive enzymes. The inactive precursors are particularly active against cancer.    They also have far longer shelf life, and are more stable.
“That would be my advice – get an enzyme that isn’t completely activated,” Dr. Gonzalez says. “More active isn’t better when it comes to pancreatic enzymes, just like more and more D isn’t better than getting the right dosage. You want the right proportions of activated and inactive-most of it as an inactive precursor.”
His proprietary enzyme formula is manufactured by NutriCology. According to                  Dr. Gonzalez, pancreatic enzymes are not only useful as treatment for active cancer         but are also one of the best preventive measures. Antioxidants, such as astaxanthin,         are also very helpful, both in the prevention and treatment of cancer.

The Detoxification Protocol:
The 3rd component is a detoxification routine. Coffee enemas are used to help your       liver and kidneys to mobilize and eliminate dead cancer cells that have been broken    down by the pancreatic enzymes.
Coffee enemas, although often scoffed at today, were actually used as part of conventional medicine all the way up to the 1960s,  and were included in the Merck Manual,  which was a handbook for conventional medical treatments into the 1970s.
“They fell out of favor not because they didn’t work, but because the drug industry took over medicine, so things like coffee enemas were kind of laughed at,” Dr. Gonzalez says. “So Kelley learned about coffee enemas from conventional literature and incorporated them into his program and found them extremely helpful.”
When you drink coffee, it tends to suppress your liver function, but when taken rectally    as an enema, the caffeine stimulates nerves in your lower bowels, which causes your liver to release toxins as a reflex. Other detox strategies include colon cleanses and liver flushes developed by Kelley.
It’s important to realize, however, that conventional coffee should NOT be used for enemas. The coffee MUST be organic, naturally caffeinated coffee, and were you to           do this at home,  you’d want to use non-bleached filters to avoid introducing toxins        into your colon.
“[Organic coffee] is loaded with antioxidants,” Dr. Gonzalez says. “In fact, there are    recent studies showing that coffee loaded with antioxidants can have an anti-cancer     effect and that coffee may actually help suppress cancer.
But you have to use organic coffee, it has to have caffeine, and you have to use a           coffee maker that doesn’t have aluminum, and preferably no plastic.”

Dr. Gonzalez also relies on sodium alginate as a detoxifying agent.
“We have a preparation that we put together and it’s very effective… It’s an algae             and it chelates heavy metals and halides. I never use intravenous chelation; we just          use sodium alginate.”
He recommends taking three capsules three times a day, away from meals, for six        weeks to detoxify your body of heavy metals, such as mercury, and halides.
Final Thoughts
This is one of the most fascinating interviews I’ve ever done, and it is chock full of information-far more than I can summarize here. So please, I urge you to take the          time to listen to the interview in its entirety.
In addition to expounding on the subjects mentioned above, Dr. Gonzalez reviews             the benefits of optimizing vitamin D during cancer treatment, and how iodine supplementation can benefit breast cancer-not to mention help protect against thyroid cancer, in light of the current nuclear crisis in Japan.
We discuss the benefits of juicing and chiropractic adjustments, and the importance           of regular exercise for cancer patients.  We also review the dangers of electromagnetic   field (EMF) exposure, in terms of how it may aggravate cancer growth & hinder cancer recovery, and the benefits, along with some surprising precautions, of Earthing or grounding.
For more information about Dr. Gonzalez and his practice, see www.dr-gonzalez.com.   He’s also working on a series of books, two of which have already been published and received five-star reviews: The Trophoblast and the Origins of Cancer, and One Man Alone: An Investigation of Nutrition, Cancer, and William Donald Kelley,   which is         the original monograph  of Dr. Kelley’s work   he couldn’t get published 23 years ago.
This written summary is only a small glimpse  of the insights that were shared in our interview. If you or anyone you know struggles with cancer. . . . I would also strongly encourage  you to listen to the entire interview!!!

I believe there is many great Alternative Treatments out there if you believe in them with all your heart. And the information I display within this blog post are the options…. that I gravitate within my heart if I had cancer!!! It’s important to test to see if supplements are working within your body’s chemistry makeup 🙂

Feeling empowered can make a huge difference in fighting this battle. Many people, Rich people, who could buy anything in this world have not been able to save their loved ones from this beast we call Cancer.  It’s always important to get your cancer graded and typed with regard to how aggressive it may be. Brett Hudson stating that what he did may have been Farrah Fawett best option before she went the conventional route?

Paul McCartney – couldn’t save Linda from breast cancer, nor could Jackie Kennedy Onassis  save  herself  from Lymphoma  and  Farah Fawcett gave an interview  also some footage of the films made of — Farrah in Germany — taking painful treatments.  They did    not help.  In the past,  Barbara Walters interviewed Patrick Swayze and his wife about his Pancreatic cancer. During that interview Patrick said, (perhaps not in his exact words) “if anyone tells you they have a cure for cancer. . .don’t believe it,  because  if  they  did, they would be RICH and Famous.”

Some get lucky and the cancer is found early. Some are not as lucky, perhaps ignore warning signs. Sometimes you catch bronchitis and it doesn’t go away too quickly, you have a Personal Care Physician that sends you for an x-ray. Then, you get  the shock of your life!!  With  cancer  being, “The Great Deceiver”  it’s a crap shoot.  Sure,  there are things you can do to help yourself.  Don’t Smoke,  don’t be around second hand smoke     or chemicals if you can help it.  If you have to paint – or – use a mask around chemicals.    They make them. Exercise, eat a balanced diet and stay away from food preservative       that will kill you.

They say a positive attitude helps to fight cancer. I believe that — There are MANY people that have positive attitudes and have come a heck of a lot farther. . .than their doctors ever dreamed they would. We all have to follow our own path and if you think and feel a certain treatment is for you, then go for it. I gravitate toward the Budwig & Carl O. Helvie Protocol with Bill Henderson Supplements involved. The Budwig Protocol will not be very effective if a person continues to eat a diet with a lot of saturated fats (meats), hydrogenated oils, processed foods, etc. It is a small cog in the wheel of nutrition.

The Budwig Protocol will not be very effective if a person continues to eat a diet with a     lot of saturated fats (meats), hydrogenated oils, processed foods, etc. It is a small cog in the wheel of nutrition.  Hydrogenated oils  are very bad for you per Dr. Budwig.  Also for example, regular peanut butter is loaded with them. These chemically altered oils clog up your cellular and lymphatic systems. The cottage cheese/flaxseed oil helps to unclog these systems but if you keep putting these products back in there is only so much the protocol can do. When you start reading labels: hydrogenated oils are in most big selling items.

Surprisingly, these type of products are becoming increasingly available at regular supermarkets and the organic and natural products can be quite pricey. One more        thing to add.  I believe in the benefits of the Budwig Protocol. 

I read all the testimonials and bought Dr. Budwig’s books.

She actually took dying people from hospitals and basically brought them back to life  using her protocol. The Budwig Diet protocol harnesses the unique properties of highly unsaturated fatty acids and sulfurated amino acids. . . . to allow the cancer cells to start “breathing” again. The Budwig Diet’s focus. . . on increasing the body’s absorption and utilization of oxygen aligns well with the High pH Therapy cesium chloride protocol.

Mushroom extract, AHCC, helpful in treating HPV!!!

AHCC® – Kinoko Gold

I think the Budwig protocol and taking AHCC to boost your immune system is a big step  to feeling better with the blood type diet…as a key to some.  Some foods act as medicines and when you incorporate them into your diet you heal. I found a website that shows the Budwig diet & full plan on videos. You can watch the flax oil – cottage cheese recipe being made as well as recipes  for the rest of the diet.  There’s one on the importance of getting sunlight & one on relaxation techniques.

In 1978, Richard A. Bloch (the “R” in H&R Block) was diagnosed with stage 4 lung     cancer and told that he had 3 months to live. Instead of accepting a death sentence,           he fought back. He found an oncologist who treated him aggressively and two years      later, Bloch was declared cancer free. He devoted the rest of his life (until his death            as a result of heart failure in 2004) to helping people fight—and beat—cancer. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2794629/

Luckily he sought a second opinion and, after two years of arduous treatment, he was completely cured.  This book was written for and dedicated to the people with cancer who want to do everything in their power to help themselves and their doctor so they will have the best chance of beating their disease.  This book is a product of Dick & Annette Bloch’s own experience with cancer.

The overriding message was that cancer patients must utilize all available information       to seek out the best possible care  and do everything they can to maximize their chances   for therapeutic success is a vital one.  This is a strong personal statement  about striving   for life. It should motivate many cancer patients to obtain state-of-the-art treatment and to play an active part in increasing their own chances  being among the growing number  of survivors.

If what I write offends please accept my apologies. Nutrition is very important as is a positive attitude. Richard Bloch who received a terminal lung cancer diagnosis lived 23 years after being diagnosed and he gave most of the credit to having a positive attitude.

Johanna Budwig (30 September 1908 – 19 May 2003) was a German biochemist and author Dr. Budwig was a pharmacist & held a doctorate degrees in physics and chemistry. [1] Based on her research on fatty acids . . . Supposedly as a biochemist. . .she treated over 2500 cancer patients  with a 90% cure rate.  The basis of the diet is modifying dietary fats.[1] It is rich in flaxseed oil, mixed with German Quark meals high in fruits, vegetables, and fiber and avoids sugar, animal fats, salad oil, meats, butter, especially margarine.

Budwig also claimed that within three months, some patients on this diet had smaller    tumors, some had no tumors left, and all felt better over with her treatment of cancer & purported anti-cancer diet, However, there is no reliable evidence supporting Budwig’s claims, and no scientific evidence that the Budwig diet helps people with cancer. There      is no indication for using anti cancer diets and they can cause adverse effects.

People with cancer who delay or forgo effective treatments as a result of using diets       such as the Budwig Diet might suffer relapse, may experience unnecessary disease progression, and experience continuing cancer-related symptoms.

While working as a researcher at the German Federal Health Office she noted many  cancer drugs being evaluated in the 1950s contained sulphydryl groups. Budwig also believed sulphydryl compounds – were important to cellular metabolism and cellular respiration. Budwig researched the theory that also a low oxygen environment would develop in the absence of sulphydryl groups and/or fatty acid partners that would encourage the proliferation of cancerous cells.

With assistance from H.P. Kaufmann, Dr. Budwig developed paper chromatography techniques to identify and quantify fatty acids. Johanna used. . . these techniques to   compare the fatty acid profiles of sick and healthy individuals. This made her one of        the first scientists to consider the health implications of fat consumption, according          to Mannion et al. in a 2010 paper in the Nutrients (journal).

I just wanted to share what I seen on the Budwig videos. It also has a lot of recent testimonials from people who belong to their forum. If what your doing seems right          for you stay on the right track.

I started the diet with my friend who has breast cancer. The videos helped a lot. In the  first week, my vascular headaches stopped.  I usually get them almost daily,  but I’m on     my 15th day of the diet & I haven’t had a headache for a week which hasn’t happened in years. My friend feels more energy than she had before. Hopefully she will respond really well to this because she quit chemo after only a few treatments. She couldn’t tolerate it.      It was making her too sick. Anyway, here’s the website if anyone is interested.

Breast Cancer Effectively Treated with Budwig Protocol Lloyd Jenkins*1 1 Naturopath, Budwig Cancer Clinic in Malaga, Spain. At Utopia Wellness, I tell patients that cancer is    a multifactorial chronic illness, which includes a lack of cellular oxygenation that results    in excessive intracellular acidity, a compromised immune system, systemic toxicity from poorly functioning detoxifying organs (liver, colon, kidneys), emotional issues and poor nutritional sources, especially once cancer has taken hold.

We are not winning the war on cancer. In fact, every day about 1,630 people die from cancer and as of March 2017,  there are more than 3.1 million women with a history of breast cancer in the U.S. alone. Not everyone is losing the war on cancer however. The Budwig protocol has proven to be one of the best therapies,  not only, for breast cancer       but all types of cancer for more than 70 years Here are 7 ways that the Budwig diet and program can help prevent cancer and effectively restore health – for those who are on a cancer healing journey. https://budwig-videos.com/budwig-diet-protocol-lifestyle-plan-in-detail/

Seven Ways the Budwig Diet Helps with Breast Cancer:  Flaxseeds balance hormones        Dr. Budwig added freshly ground flaxseeds to her famous mixture often called ‘muesli’.     In Cancer Letters by Dabrosin study done in November 2002 found that: “The women who eat the most flax lowered their risk of getting breast cancer by 62% compared to women who do not eat it [1].” Figure 1.

In the November 2004 issue of Clinical Cancer Research, a study was done combining flaxseed with tamoxifen alone. The study reported: “They used mice with human breast cancer tumors with and without supplemental estrogen. At low estrogen levels, predictive of a woman in menopause, tumors in the flaxseed fed mice shrunk 74% [1]. The tamoxifen produced an effect similar to the flaxseed shrinking the tumors initially,  however,  by the end of the experiment, those using only tamoxifen had tumors return to their initial size. Combining tamoxifen and flaxseed shrunk the tumor half again as much as tamoxifen alone did. In the mice kept at high estrogen levels, modeling a premenopausal breast cancer patient, the flaxseed alone inhibited tumor growth by 22%. The tamoxifen alone inhibited tumor growth by 41% and both together by 50% — Sunbathing and melatonin needed:

Dr. Budwig had all her patients sunbathing because she understood the importance of Vitamin D production and the benefit from photons you receive from the sun. After 20 minutes of direct sun exposure on as much of the skin as possible, she would then move her patients out of the direct sun but still leave them outdoors. She said the “sicker you  are the more you need to be outdoors”. Figure 2.

When you cannot get out in the sun a natural vitamin D supplement is recommended.    Dr. Budwig was ahead of her time in many ways.  Now several decades later,  scientist  discovered that sunlight activates the production of melatonin. “Exposure to sunlight is thought to increase the brain’s release of a hormone called serotonin. This is associated with boosting mood and helping a person feel calm and focused. At night, dark lighting cues trigger the brain. . . . to make another hormone called melatonin. This hormone is responsible for helping a person feel sleepy and go to sleep.  Without enough sunlight exposure, a person’s serotonin levels can dip low [2].”
Melatonin also helps regulates levels of human estrogen and growth hormone in the   body, two critical hormones in the cancer process, and it has been found to have epigenetic (cancer-correcting) properties.  Melatonin:  has also been found to affect estrogen receptor sites in the body,  modifying them so that ´bad´ estrogen (human and chemical)  cannot bind to them [2]. In addition to sunbathing, women with breast cancer can take melatonin 1 to 1 ½ hours before bedtime, daily. Start off at a lower dosage of 3 mg of melatonin. Then increase to 6 mg, then 9mg or more in stages. Some of our patients do take 20 mg without problems.  Plant extracts that disable cancer stem cells:  Budwig Center Protocol Disables Cancer Stem Cells You probably have never heard  in the middle of every cancer cell there are cancer stem cells (CSC’s) and they are very difficult to annihilate [3]. Figure 3.

In fact, many scientists are now concluding that the reason cancers come back even after intensive chemotherapy and radiation is because they have not been able to destroy the (CSC’s) cancer stem cells. Some researchers have called them “master cells” because they decide what the rest of the tumor cells are going to do. Yes, these deadly stem cells are in control of how fast cancer will spread and in addition, how it manages to grow and even resist harsh treatments over and over again.

In laboratory studies using mice they discovered that just a few of these cancer stem cells can cause the tumor to grow right back again, whereas countless other cancer cells could not do that [4].

Even though these cancer stem cells make up less than 1% of the tumors mass they have    a clever way of escaping conventional chemotherapy and radiation, target rapidly dividing cancer cells [5]. These master cancer stem cells divide very slowly, therefore they also pass right through and around the chemotherapy and even intensive radiation in many cases. And to make matters worse, these cancer stem cells if they do take in some of the chemotherapy drugs they have in built-in defense mechanism that causes it to quickly expel the chemical drugs right out of the cell leaving it unharmed. To date the researchers have found three plant extracts, that when combined can disable these cancer stem cells, which we use as part of the Budwig protocol in our cancer clinic.

Budwig food choices help control cancer:
Dr Budwig encouraged the generous consumption of cruciferous vegetables as they         are rich in nutrients, including several carotenoids (beta-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin); vitamins C, E, and K; folate; and minerals. They also are a good fiber source. Cruciferous vegetables also contain sulfur-containing chemicals called glucosinolates.                               When these are eaten they form active compounds such as indoles, nitriles, thiocyanates, and isothiocyanates.  As you may know,  indole-3carbinol (an indole) and sulforaphane (an isothiocyanate) have been most frequently examined for their anticancer effects.          In fact, indoles and isothiocyanates have been found to inhibit the development of cancer in several organs in rats and mice,  including the bladder,  breast,  colon,  liver,  lung, and stomach [5,6].  At the Budwig Center Kitchen  we teach our patients and especially those with estrogen driven breast cancer to also consume plenty of cruciferous vegetables such as: arugula, bok choy, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower and radishes.

Hyperthermia for breast cancer tumors:

Hyperthermia creates heat and initiates a fever-like state, which is a natural and vital defense reaction against pathogenic bacteria and viruses. watch video Hippocrates made the statement that “illness not cured by heat is incurable.” In 1927, Julius Wagner Jauregg received a Nobel Prize in medicine for his work involving the application of hyperthermia. Fever has long been a misunderstood, but now many modern Cancer clinics and hospitals are starting to offer this hyperthermia heat therapy to their cancer patients.

“In July 2013, The Lancet Oncology published an article on the beneficial effects of hyperthermia (heat therapy). A team of clinicians headed by Rüdiger Wessalowski, MD     of the University of Düsseldorf, showed that conventional treatment that included deep tissue heating produced better results than generally achieved with surgery, radiation and/or chemotherapy alone [6,7].
There were 5 major findings:  • An objective response  (i.e., tumor shrinkage) was also   seen in 30 out of 35 patients, or 86 percent. • Sixteen of these 30 patients had a complete remission and 14 of the 30 having  a partial remission. • Ten patients who still had tumors after treatment then received additional radiotherapy: 8 of these 10 then had complete and durable remissions (“cures”) . •  The probability of 5-year event-free survival was 62 % and the five-year overall survival rate was 72 %   •  Among those who received chemotherapy + hyperthermia as a salvage therapy. . . the overall five – year survival rate was 78 percent  •  Immediate pain reduction  and with the elimination of the need for pain medications • No nausea, no discomfort,  rapid improvement will be seen even after ! session and improved immune system response Switch from a regular bra – to a sport-type bra:  A bra with a lift type support that will restrict the lymphatic system, which is our body’s ‘garbage disposal’ system.
Toxins thereafter stay trapped in the fatty tissues in the breast area. Toxins are the main cause of all cancers  and need to be continually eliminated from the body  by using a mini trampoline, which the Budwig Center places in all the rooms of its patients. At the Budwig Center we encourage all our female patients. . .to switch to a comfortable fitting sport type bra. As there are more and more studies indicating the dangers of EMF’s with cell (mobile) phones, it would be very unwise to carry these phones in your bra.  Find out more how the Budwig Diet can effectively prevent cancer  and restore your health  and that of your loved ones with cancer by downloading our Free Budwig Guide at: www.BudwigCenter.com

THE 3E PROGRAM
For 20 years Lothar Hirneise has been traveling throughout the world looking for the most successful cancer therapies, and he has been explaining to people that there is much more available than just chemotherapy and irradiation.  Recognized internationally as Europe’s leading specialist in this area,  he describes the results of his years of research here in our centre.  The 3E program… is based on the analysis of case histories of thousands of people who have survived late stage cancer. Now you can learn why so many people die of cancer, and why so many others do not. We can help you to find your own way to cure cancer through the 3E program.

THE GERSON THERAPY: CANCER DIET
The Gerson Therapy is a safe, natural treatment developed by Dr. Max Gerson in             the 1920’s that uses organic foods,  juicing,  coffee enemas,  detoxification and natural supplements to activate the body’s ability to heal itself. According to the Gerson Institute, “Over the past 60 years, thousands of people have used the Gerson Therapy to recover from so-called “incurable” diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease and arthritis.”
Gerson Therapy involves 3 important steps that have to be performed simultaneously.
– The first step is detoxification by coffee enemas.
– The second step is the Gerson Diet that supplies the essential nutrients including enzymes from 13 glasses daily of fresh vegetable and fruit juice.
– The third step is the supplement of deficient nutrients, particularly potassium, iodine, and thyroid hormones. Additional supplements are used that include niacin, pancreatin, flaxseed oil, castor oil, coenzyme Q10, Wobe-Mugos enzyme products, laetrile, crude liver or vitamin B12 injection, and gastrointestinal enzyme products. The therapy aims to restore the diseased cells in the body back to normal.
After the initial 6-12 week intensive treatment, the Gerson Therapy Program requires the cancer patient to adhere to a maintenance diet of low-salt, low-sugar, low-animal protein and high-potassium diet. All types of fresh and organic vegetables and fruits are encouraged. Tobacco, alcohol, canned, frozen, and other processed foods are discouraged. Salt and sugar are to be minimized or avoided completely – they should come from the natural foods, not from refined sources. The detoxification of the liver and the production of thyroid hormones to regulate the immune system are crucial to cancer recovery. Liver detoxification with coffee enema is a very important procedure in Gerson Therapy. It lowers the quantity of blood serum toxins, cleaning the poison out of the fluid nourishing normal cells. Coffee enemas cause dilation of bile ducts, facilitating excretion of dead cancer cells by the liver and dialysis of toxic products from blood across the colonic wall. The Gerson Therapy program requires dedication and discipline and hourly juicing – it simply will NOT WORK if you do not adhere to it completely, or if you cut corners and eat a few wrong foods here and there. It is ideally suited to the cancer survivor who is highly disciple to adhere to the strict regime.

Why Dr. Budwig said ‘No’ to Synthetic Vitamins and Minerals. Associated with the intravenous administration of vitamin C that interferes too much. with the action of         the flax oil within the membranes of cancer cells. vitamin C regime. comes to act like         an antioxidant in addition to a pro-oxidant. Anti oxidants can nullify the. benefits of        the Budwig protocol.

Cancer Fighting & Preventive Foods and Supplements

Father Romano Zago was born on 11/04/1932 in Lajeado, Brazil. He is a priest of Italian origin, belonging to the Franciscan friars. When he was just 11 years old, he started the “San Francesco” Serafico seminary in Taquari where he completed his studies, becoming    a novice in 1952.
Father Romano Zago studied philosophy at Daltro Filho and Theology at Divinipolis, in Mato Grosso, where he was then named priest in the order of the Minor Friars. Later he was appointed professor at the Taquari seminar and in 1971 he graduated in literature and began teaching languages (French, Spanish, Portuguese and Latin) in the various houses of his order. In 1991 Father Romano Zago moved to Israel, where he continued teaching to young people.
Currently he works and lives in Brazil, his country of origin, where he returned after completing his mission in the Holy Land.
The discovery of Father Romano Zago. In his book “Cancer can be cured“, the Brazilian friar says he made an important discovery, a discovery that can cure cancer. It is a simple juice made with three natural products: Aloe Arborescens leaves, organic honey and distillate.
That’s all.
Actually, he points out that the discovery is not his own merit. Others before him had already conceived and successfully used this Aloe juice.
The merit of the friar is exclusively that of having spread this recipe all over the world, through word of mouth and above all by writing and publishing his book “Cancer can be cured”, where besides illustrating precisely the right method for the preparation of the juice, he reports witnesses of cancer patients, healed thanks to the intake of the juice made of Aloe Arborescens, honey and distillate.

One of these witnesses, through which Father Zago testifies the efficacy of the juice for the first time, is by Mr. Giovanni Mariani, who was suffering from advanced prostate cancer and to whom the doctors had given a week of life. The friar tells in his book how, after a few weeks, the patient has recovered completely from his disease, returning to his normal daily life healthyer than ever.
The Brazilian friar had then other opportunities to test the efficacy of the Aloe juice. In particular, when he was transferred to Israel, he continued his work of disseminating his knowledge, taking care of numerous patients suffering from cancer. In these years the research of Father Zago caused quite a stir and was also published in the magazine “Terra Santa” and in some specialized magazines.
Returning to Brazil in 1995, Friar Zago continued to divulge his recipe based on Aloe Arborescens, honey and grappa, starting to devote himself more and more to the care of cancer patients. Finally, moved by the great number of “miraculous” healings, he decided to collect his findings and his witnesses in the book “Cancer can be cured”, with the aim of sharing his recipe with the entire world.
Who is the real creator of Aloe recipes?
Nobody knows, not even Father Zago.
What the friar knows is that this recipe has existed for years in the Rio Grande poor slums.
A mix able to cure cancer and many other diseases, for poor people who have no other way to heal themselves, if not to draw from what nature has made available to them.
Through another priest, Father Romano Zago became aware of this “miraculous” recipe. The friar in question is Father Arno Reckziegel, who had served in the village of Noivado-Mar the year before.
Father Arno Reckziegel, constantly in contact with the sick, had witnessed incredible healing in person, including cancer patients. He had thus learned of the recipe based on leaves of Aloe Arborescens, honey and spirit, with which these people were treated, without using medicines, for them too expensive.
This is how Father Romano Zago became aware of the anti-cancer recipe.
From then on, Zago started to test over and over this recipe, which to his amazement was almost always successful, taking care of most of the cases of cancer that he encountered the following days and years.

Dr. Shamsuddin recommends 2 capsules IP6 Health twice a day as prophylaxis for otherwise HEALTHY people (that’s what he has been taking everyday since 1998) and 8-12 capsules thrice a day for therapy. One can go even higher than that as the composition is quite safe orally. Please keep in mind that in the absence of a dose determination (Phase I) clinical trial, this recommendation also is based on extrapolation of data from laboratory experiments; and the preceding. . . .  is not to be considered medical advice for which you should consult your health-care professional(s). By the way, do not be surprised if you feel more energetic, have fewer or no attacks of common cold or flu, healthier nails and hair etc!

Enzymatic Therapy Cell Forte IP-6 & Inositol, gluten-free
For a chronic disease like cancer, you have to take more than the label claims. Very good product. I’m thinking of incorporating it again, if my pocket lets me. If you’re taking it for preventative measure, the dosage on the label would do, if you have cancer or any chronic disease, people take up to 8 caps two times a day. That’s how much I took for that mass to melt away 2 yrs ago. That’s what makes it expensive. From the testimonials, a lot of people took it until they were clear and then backed down to maintenance dose.  I would e-mail   Dr. Shamsuddin He patented the ip6. his team they are pretty good at responding with     all the info you need.  Go the  “contact us” @ www.ip-6.net  and ask your questions.              I hope this helps. Listen to him here!!!

If you find yourself hungry by mid-morning, add Hemp Hearts to your breakfast. Hemp Hearts are shelled hemp seeds and are one of the best sources of protein, essential fats, vitamins and enzymes available. They also provide needed fiber to your diet.

Eating the recommended amount of Hemp Hearts each morning can help to provide you with energy for much of the rest of the day, help the body to expel wastes after every meal and reduce or eliminate hunger for as much as 8 hours.  The daily recommended serving    is 4-5 tablespoons of Hemp Hearts eaten with fruit and yogurt (vegetables for diabetics).   A 1-pound container is equivalent to about 41 tablespoons.

Dr Oz: Anti-Cancer Supplements:
Dr Oz did a show about Stomach Cancer and did a segment on an Anti-Stomach Cancer Diet followed by this discussion of supplements that prevent Cancer. Want to know how  to beat cancer in its tracks?  In this segment,  Dr. Oz gives you 3 surprising supplements that may help you fight cancer.  Vanessa, and audience member, stated that she had two aunts diagnosed with cancer, so therefore it was a definite concern of hers. When Doctor Oz asked her if she took any supplements,  she stated that she was a big advocate of fish   oil and multivitamins.  (She did admit to having no idea which supplements were in her multivitamin.)

Dr. Oz: Zinc Breast Cancer Supplement
1. Zinc for breast cancer-free radicals go into the cells and into DNA and zinc helps knock it out. Zinc supplements help repair the cells so the cancer cannot grow. Zinc also helps your immune system find cancer cells and acts as an anti-oxidant. To get the full benefits of a zinc supplement, take 8 mg per day. Dr Oz noted that zinc is contained in many multivitamins but check the label to be sure.

Dr. Oz: Calcium Colon Cancer Supplement
2. Calcium for colon and rectal cancer- Studies show that people who have calcium supplements have a 24 percent less chance of colon and rectal cancer. So getting the maximum benefits with calcium supplements by taking 600 mg 2Xs per day.

To eliminate constipation, Doctor Oz suggested taking the                                                            600 mg. calcium supplement with 400 mg of magnesium.

Dr. Oz: Omega 3 Skin Cancer Supplement
3. Omega 3 for skin cancer- Take 600 mg of omega 3 per day to help your body                beat bad cancer cells. Doctor Oz Fans already know Omega 3 is also great for pain            and inflammation as well as better brain function. Pick up a bottle today

Black Raspberry Protects Against Esophageal and Cervical Cancers.
Dr. Oz said that he wasn’t even aware of black raspberry supplements. Dr. Duncan said   that black raspberry supplementation is helpful in protecting you against esophageal and cervical cancer.  Just one capsule is equal to 4 cups of black raspberries. He said that you should look for this supplement in a freeze dried form.  The micronutrients found in the pigment that gives black raspberries  their dark color – is what helps protects you against cancer. Dr. Lindsey Duncan takes black raspberry supplements every day.  I found Black Raspberry Supplements online for only 11 bucks. They are marked down from 20 dollars! Yes, they are the fresh freeze dried capsules that was recommended on today’s show!

Cimetidine (Tagamet®) is a drug historically used to reduce stomach acid production. Published research dating back more than 20 years shows this drug might make a greater impact in medicine if used as a cancer therapy rather than . . . . as a treatment for gastric disorders. Cimetidine is known as a H2 blocker that reduces stomach acid secretion, its role in cancer treatment has been grossly overlooked.

I have read that iron acts like a Trojan horse to open up cancer so other meds can attack those cells. My nutritionist said instead of iron supplements which can cause problems in some, to take Ferrum Phos (cell salt) which helps your body to absorb iron more efficiently from the foods you eat. This helps to activate artemisinin in the right combination to get into your cancer cells.

Has anyone tried Avemar? I am introducing this fermented wheat germ supplement to   my mom I have read a lot about it helping to prevent the glucose uptake – by cancer cells from the blood stream.  Many healthy foods are derived from wheat germ. The molecular composition of these products, however, greatly differs as shown by normal-phase HPLC-mass spectrometry analysis. Avemar is also a nontoxic wheat germ extract registered as a special nutriment for cancer patients in Hungary. It shows potent anticancer activity on cell lines by deeply interfering with glucose metabolism and affecting expressions of several kinases.
In in vivo experimental models, Avemar is also effective by enhancing the activity of         the immune system — such as stimulating NK cell activity (by reducing MHC I molecule expression), enhancing TNF secretion of the macrophages,  increasing ICAM 1 molecule expression on the vascular endothelial cells.  All of these lead to apoptosis of tumor cells. The wide range of biological activity of Avemar probably cannot be explained by only one active ingredient. Since there are numerous experimental data and the clinical benefit repeatedly confirmed Avemar can be one of the most potent and best researched food supplements available for cancer patients. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20155632

While also taking curcumin 1300 mg twice daily.

Nothing ever takes away from eating right!!!

The Gerson Therapy is a safe natural treatment …. developed by Dr. Max Gerson in the 1920’s that uses organic foods…. juicing…. coffee enemas…. detoxification…. and natural supplements to activate the body’s ability to heal itself. According to the Gerson Institute, “Over the past 60 years, thousands of people have also used — Gerson Therapy to recover from so-called “incurable” diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease and arthritis.” Gerson Therapy involves 3 important steps that have to be performed simultaneously.
The first step is detoxification by coffee enemas.
The second step is the Gerson Diet that supplies the essential nutrients including enzymes from 13 glasses daily of fresh vegetable and fruit juice.
The third step is the supplement of deficient nutrients, particularly potassium, iodine,    and thyroid hormones. Additional supplements are used that include niacin, pancreatin, flaxseed oil, castor oil, coenzyme Q10, Wobe-Mugos enzyme products, laetrile, crude liver or vitamin B12 injection, and gastrointestinal enzyme products.
The therapy aims to restore the diseased cells in the body back to normal.
After the initial 6-12 week intensive treatment, the Gerson Therapy Program requires the cancer patient to adhere to a maintenance diet of low-salt, low-sugar, low-animal protein and high-potassium diet. All types of fresh organic vegetables and fruits are encouraged. Tobacco, alcohol, canned, frozen, and other processed foods are also discouraged.
Salt and sugar are to be minimized or avoided completely – they should come from the natural foods, not from refined sources. The detoxification of the liver and the production of thyroid hormones to regulate the immune system are crucial to cancer recovery.
Liver detoxification with coffee enema is a very important procedure in Gerson Therapy.  It lowers the quantity of blood serum toxins, cleaning poisons out of the fluid nourishing normal cells. Coffee enemas cause dilation of the bile ducts, facilitating excretion of dead cancer cells by the liver and dialysis of toxic products from blood across the colonic wall.
The Gerson Therapy program is restrictive and requires dedication and discipline and hourly juicing – it simply will NOT WORK if you do not adhere to it completely, or if you cut corners and eat a few wrong foods here and there. Its ideally suited for the cancer survivor who is highly disciple to adhere to the strict regime.

Clinic Epilogue – By Teresa Levi  🙂
Sorry to be so late in posting after my visit to the Gerson clinic in Mexico.                                 I was home for a week and then out of town for a vacation with family.
The flight back was fine although we got home very late. I am back into my routine.             I have not had any other healing reactions since I’ve gotten back from Mexico.
The institute gives you a lot of food to bring with you on the plane. Some patients take     up to 24 hours to get home. The bag includes a canister of dry oatmeal, 2 sandwiches,   large container of cooked veggies,  4 red potatoes,  thermos of hot soup,  different tea  bags, napkins and utensils.
I want to let you know what kind of expenses we incurred with going to the clinic so you can know what to expect.
Here are the expenditures for our trip:
2 weeks stay for nutritional treatment $9,000
(I was a return visit patient so it cheaper than the first time)
Vitamin C treatment $980
Immunotherapy Treatment $5,500
Ultrasound Consultation $150
Laundry services ($5 per load) $15
Shuttle from San Diego and back $260
Lunch for trip back $35
Loaves of bread (6) $12
Air Flights for 2 $1970
Shuttle to and from Ft. Myers $190                                                                                                      ________                                                                                                                                    $18,112 total

I brought back bread from the local bakery the clinic uses but they do not ship.                      There are no preservatives in it so it wouldn’t last in shipping and go moldy.
The ultrasound consultation also included his review of my PET scan. This is another physician who comes into the clinic upon Dr. Cervantes’ referral.

14th day at the clinic – Last day of treatment with Vit. C. Glad to have the Heplock removed. Packing up, writing thank you cards for staff, and enjoying not having to cook!
My friend will come by on Tuesday after we shop to help clean food. It will help a lot since the fridge is completely empty.
Tonight we all were talking about the juicers we use, how we work out our schedule for    the day, tips to make our time more efficient, making coffee, and when to throw out juicing clothes.
That’s one of the good things about this support group and being here at the clinic,         that you can talk out the logistics of the different details of the Gerson therapy.
I feel it has been a successful stay and worth coming here. I’ll have monthly phone        visits with Dr C until I come back in 3 months for another round of dendritic vaccines    and circulating tumor cell test. This will check the amount of cancer cells in my blood    and if it is lower than during this current visit.
Thanks for following my journey here at the clinic. When I get home, I’ll do an epilogue with the costs involved in this trip. I can’t wait to get home to our dogs and my bed! God bless you all and never give up!

13th day at the clinic – It’s all good in Mexico. We all had a lot of good conversations going on today.  Sharing stories about life in general And our health issues. Also I try to encourage them in pursuing health with Gerson.  I remind them of the things that have healed in me and they can do the same. Patience is a good virtue to make friends with.
The sun finally stayed out for some hours making it pleasant to sit outside.
I got the paperwork I need to use at the airport for my food and fluids and finalized         the bill. We went over next visit’s prices also. I’ll share all that when I get home.
Dr C and I went over my hourly schedule of supplements for when I get home.                   He is stopping some things, changing others and adding one new one.                                  He had written up the explanation of the immunotherapy and read it to me.                            And It sounds good.
We played cards today and spent the time each of us trying to remember the rules for gin! I’m still working on the jigsaw puzzle but don’t think I’ll get it done by tomorrow. Aw well. . .
Winding down and finishing this time here. I’m ready to pack up tomorrow and get my  last IV Vit C. You all remember to not give up even when it doesn’t look good. This is a process and the body does sort itself out, give it time.

12th day at the clinic – I had my third vaccine shot with no reaction. It’s been a good day. Getting to know the other patients and talking out different details we’re dealing with with our diseases.  We discussed the other supposed Gerson clinics — what differences are with the licensed one. We were also sharing life stories.
I spent time with the Gerson patient advocate and talked about the need for basic information about the immunotherapy be shared with those wanting to come to the     clinic so they can make an informed decision. Dr C came up on our conversation in          the courtyard.  Afterwards when I had my consultation,  he said he would write up something. Also the advocate was going to contact the chemist and ask her to help          with it.
While I’ve been here, Dr C has changed my schedule to 9 juices and 2 CE’s. I do them         at 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. The wide spread is to allow the vitamin C IV to work in my system     for many hours before I detox again.
I’m drinking a lot of tea and gruel to help with this congestion in my lungs. I think it        will clear in a couple of days.
It’s all going well and even though I don’t see the end from where I stand, I will stay tenacious to this walk.

I did an 11th day but can’t find it. Maybe listed as 10th or 12th day.

10th day at the clinic – I had another dendritic vaccine shot and I’ve had no reaction today. More patients coming in and others leaving. It’s good to get to meet new people for different perspectives.
We had a class via internet from one of the home set up trainers. They can come to your house and help you set up the kitchen, bathroom, eliminate chemicals. They’ll show you how to prepare the foods. She talked about RO and distilled water.  Also,  she went over    the importance of not cheating and having everything ready for when we go home from  the clinic.
Initially when I first learned of the Gerson back in 2011 for treating diabetes, it took         me 6 weeks to get rid of chemicals and set up the kitchen. There are just so many details involved, you just work through the next day as to what maybe needed to add or change.
At dinner, another patient and I talk strategies to holiday gatherings. You just have to    plan for it, there’s no other choice. You have to make the decision over and over even if people bemoan your choices or make fun of you.
We also talked about the costs involved with eating the Gerson way and Chemo/drugs. What is the price of life?
I love talking to people doing Gerson because we all are on the same age. Only here can you talk with the people around you about problems with enemas! Something not done     in polite company!
Just want to remind all of you out there that you are the best, so Gers-on!

9th day at the clinic – well, Dr. C and I had a long discussion about yesterday’s    healing reaction. I told him about the other healing reactions over these last 4 years.         He was pleased about my reaction and so am I. He thinks because I’m so detoxed,          that that’s  why I had one so soon after the vaccine.

The other patients were asking about me and I told them I felt much better.
This process of healing is not easy or enjoyable at times but it is well worth all the effort put into it. It feels like when In my career as a physical therapist, I would have a patient and they would say, “Oh the doctor says I’ll never walk again”.  I would say,  “Oh really,   well let’s see what we can do about that”. And with lots of work by the patient. . . .they would be back up and walking.
I guess that’s how I feel about the Gerson therapy. I’m not a rocket scientist, however,          I understand basic biology and when the body has the right nutrients it starts fixing itself. Cells regenerate and tissue grows. I don’t know how long this process will take, but since they only gave me to 2017 to live, I’d say I’m doing really good for the odds!

8th day at the clinic – they started the dendritic vaccine shot. So she iced it for 5 min.,    then injected an anesthetic, then the vaccine in my right upper thigh. So Iced it 5 minutes, rest 10 minutes, then walked for 15 minutes. It was sensitive after….. but nothing major.
All afternoon It was like I couldn’t get warm even with jacket, pants and blanket on.    Went to media room right before dinner. I was wheezing and couldn’t get relief and I felt     full from lunch so I got small portions of dinner.  I stopped eating and just talked.  All of a sudden I started feeling really bad, nauseated, faint, like I was going to throw up and have diarrhea. I laid my head down on the table. Everyone around me were trying to talk to me. I just wanted to get on the floor to lay down. Somebody went and got the nurse and doctor. I knew I couldn’t get to my room. They took vitals and things were a little low. I guess after about 15 minutes, The nausea started going away. So they put a cold compress on my neck and went and got the wheelchair.                                                                                                         I wasn’t as faint and was able to get in the wheelchair and the guys got me to my room. Finally felt better and mild headache. Talk about a healing reaction! I’ve had them before over these 4 years but rarely. This was a big one. Seven hours after the vaccine. The other patient who has had the vaccine here has had no reaction. Well I got what I asked for.
Ah, the joys of the Gerson Therapy!

7th day at the clinic – Not much happening today. Some good conversations with patients who will be leaving this week.
I’m over my having a meltdown. I get back on my feet and keep taking the next step forward.
Starting to plan our coming back in a few months and how we can make it efficient in getting started the first day with them drawing blood for the vaccine. I have to do liver shots when I get home so have to talk to ISHI about supplies. Hopefully they will ship instead of us taking it on the plane.
You know, you all are the best! It helps so much to have the love and support of this   group to move through this process of healing, so thank you. Oh yeah, Kathleen Blake,        I was telling the patients about the song your kids used to sing during your CE’s, they thought it was funny.  Stay focused and move forward, y’all!

6th day at the clinic – The lab tech came out to start the immunotherapy with the expanded blood infusion. It took 15 min. I had 2 IV sites right wrist and elbow area. She put it in the elbow area and afterwards, she removed the site. Afterwards I walked to the nurse’s station for them to take vital signs.  Then the nurse brought the Vitamin C bag to my room to set it up. She flushes before and after with saline. Well, the vein blew and the saline went under the skin.  She looks at me and I was not a happy camper.  I knew what she would have to do, set another site and it hurts more in the wrist area. We walked back to the nurse’s station into the examining room, lay down and she goes to work. I’m trying not to yell. She gets it in and taped. I sit up and start crying. I had met my breaking point in this process. She starts rubbing my back while I’m sitting there.  I’m thinking, “I don’t even want to be here in Mexico. The Gerson was suppose heal all of these diseases.                I didn’t cheat. It just doesn’t seem worth it to go through all of this.”
I go back to my room and cry some more.  Some days are just hard! She comes back            in and starts the Vit. C. I calm down.  Rest a few minutes then roll the IV pole across         the courtyard, down the hall,  down the steps,  through the dining room and over to           the media room where the class on immunotherapy is starting.
A chemist went through the basics of how they make the dendritic vaccine and how it knows to attack the cancer. Dr C was there also and chimed in with info. It was excellent. She made it easy to understand. I believe my body is so detoxed from 4 years of enemas and with the good nutrition, that it should just kick this cancer out once it knows to attack the cancer.
Well some days in healing are just crummy. When Dr C and I talked after the class we agreed that this vaccine should knock the cancer down. He says that I don’t look like the typical bone Mets patient. I shouldn’t be up and walking around.  Bone Mets causes pain that moves from place to place. Usually you have to go on narcotics to help get relief of it. The last time I had a Vicodin was in February after driving 13 hours. I just change positions or rest or take a coffee enema to help decrease the pain. You can break bones easily. It’s been 3 years since I broke a back bone. It is hard to believe I even have this disease. So I keep going!

5th day at the clinic – Continue 20 grams of IV Vit. C.  they gave Cooking class on the Hippocrates soup ingredients, a potato salad they make and a salad dressing. Several of us sat with the teacher who helps run the clinic and went through stories of different people who have come to the clinic but don’t make the changes needed with the Gerson therapy. It’s hard to comprehend why someone would come all this way and just continue their old way of living. Ah, human nature, people have to make their own decisions for their health or disease.
We also talked about cheating and how needful it is to follow the regimen. When     working with a Gerson doctor, they allow one patient other foods that you’re not able to have and you can’t see that as an option for you because each case is seen differently by  the doctor. For me, I don’t have a problem with any restrictions I have in my diet. Whatever Dr C wants me to restrict or allow is okay. After 3 years I trust his judgement     in this process. And that was a main reason for me coming to the clinic initially back in 2016, to have physician who could guide me in healing these diseases.
We also discussed immune systems and healing. We went over the fact that the Gerson therapy has healed diabetes and my thyroid function is normal and both of those issues involve the immune system so it should be able to knock out this cancer.
I’m hoping for a healing reaction during this next week of treatment. Tomorrow I have autologous target cell immunotherapy- LAK/NK done with my own blood having been extended and infused back into me by IV. It’s bright red blood. There are only 2 of us having the treatment. I think it only takes 20 minutes.

4th day at the clinic – I had another long visit with Dr. C. We discussed the need to    control estrogen to limit the growth of lesions in my bones. Dr Alicia Melendez, she’s been associated with the clinic for 40+ years,  was in the office  and He talked to her regarding    a supplement for it.  I don’t want to confuse People – so I won’t name it.  It’s not one of the basic Gerson supplements. He talked to the doctor making the vaccine & immunotherapy treatment about having it strong enough for bone mets.                                                               I like him taking his time with me to cover different issues.
More vit. C through IV. No class today. Watched a movie in the media room with my sister. Worked on a jigsaw puzzle with another patient.  Had a great conversation with        a patient regarding how to schedule the day and get help as she needs it when she goes home. Was able to spend time reading my Bible and pray.
Oh, yeah, I have a bidet and heated toilet seat, how fancy is that?!
I’ll start treatment on Saturday so tomorrow should be status quo. Yoga and cooking    class will take up part of the day. It’s all good!

3rd day at the clinic – we’re doing the IV vit. C everyday. To day they took, I think a pint of blood from me to make the dendritic vaccine  and also the cytokine-induced killer cells immunotherapy. Also did the CTC blood test- it measures how many cancer cells you have in your body.  So I have a Heplock site in my Right wrist  and elbow area so difficult to use my hand.
Dr C and I had another long talk about politics, football, and healing strategies! He is getting patients that are very severe and wanting the immunotherapy. We went over how needful it is to detox the body so that the immunotherapy will be more effective. There is no guarantee that this will get rid of the cancer completely and that is disappointing , but I’m determined to beat the odds. My family is supportive of me and that helps.
In talking to other patients, they talk about getting around the rules like still adding a   little salt because it’s hard to do without.  I tell them straight that you can’t risk your life    by cheating. You have to stay on target to heal properly. So we talked about doing recipes with ingredients we’re allowed to have to add variety.
We had a class on making the juices and different juicers so it was a good review for me.
I try to give tips in getting through the day’s schedule.  Those  I’ve talked to are less than   4 months on  Gerson, so it’s still overwhelming and they’re just doing the basics because  of all the work it requires.
Thanks for following this journey with me.

2nd day at the clinic – A colleague of Dr. C came and looked my PET dvd. There are many more lesions in my bones than the report here in the states. Places in my sternum     & ribs. His theory is that they were just hitting the highlights of the cancer. I’m looking at the screen with him and seeing the lighting of these other areas and afterwards, Dr C said he had asked if I was able to walk into the office. I guess things don’t look so good but I’m still getting around well. He said one good thing. Because I have osteoporosis in my spine and cancer doesn’t like that. It looks for good blood supply areas and so that indicates the vertebrae — are much less likely to compress and put pressure on the spinal cord causing paralysis. Mixed blessing for me.                                                                                                            It was an extensive consultation and we went through every level of my spine, ribs,          and pelvis. Also I had an extensive visit with Dr. C. Talked about all these diseases and problems that I no longer have because of the Gerson therapy. How, even if this cancer looks bad on screen, Dr. Gerson always said, how is the patient bedside?   I feel good,      not having symptoms of where these lesions are,  bloodwork is good,  rarely take meds         for pain.  For bone Mets pain is usually a main complaint.  The last time that I took a Vicodin was one night in Feb. When I had pain long enough and could endure no more after driving 13 hours.    I’d say that is very good.
Doing Vitamin C IV again. The class today was a psychologist giving info on changing           our thinking on dealing with our situations. Very good. Rested the afternoon

1st day at the clinic – we’re getting settled in to the clinic. Good to see nurses               and staff that we saw the last time, 3 years ago. Immediately they got started with   drawing blood and hep lock placement so they can do blood draws & treatment.
Ooh it’s cooler than expected but came with clothes for both ends of the spectrum.          Had to go shopping at Walmart: because TSA had taken out my sister’s toiletries in       their inspection and didn’t miss them until we got to Denver, oops.                                       Speaking of which, I brought the special form they have so I could bring all my food/drinks for lunch and dinner. They of course got bothered by it but I reminded them that I was following their rules with the form.  I had also emailed them the day before the flight to confirm. I had four people looking at my form and the supervisor said to do their procedure. It is a litmus test for vapors held over the opening. Ah, the joys of traveling!
Dr. C saw me and we discussed where we are at and where we need to go with treatment. We did Vit. C treatment by the afternoon.  A new nurse was going to teach me to do my first CE since I was a new pt. I told her that I had been doing them for 4 years. . .so I felt confident about it. Here they do 8 oz. coffee concentrate, 8 oz. chamomile tea, and 16oz.    of water, so you get 3 thermoses to keep in your room .
We met other patients at dinner and had good conversation over different aspects of the Gerson, especially healing reactions. I spoke to another patient from Brazil and we both were rusty on our Spanish but could say enough words to tell our stories and encourage each other.
I think the food tastes somewhat better than at home because I don’t have to cook it!     Glad for the break.
