This book is
written for the 600,000 fellow Americans, and 8.2 million people around the world,
that die of cancer each and every year. This is a disaster. And allowing this
to continue by consciously ignoring successful cancer treatments and tests from
other countries, along with our own promising cancer research, because these
don’t fit into our monetized system of government and pharmaceutical approval
is a disaster beyond belief.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.0pt; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.0pt; text-indent: .5in;">
In the U.S. our
medical system has evolved to exclude approval for any cancer treatment,
regardless of its results, that fails to provide a significant financial
return. This is a direct result of our complex, restrictive, and costly medical
approval process as explained in, <b><i>Timely Proposal To Cure Cancer</i></b><span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">. Unfortunately, we have also chosen to ignore
excellent research and approved successful cancer treatments from around the
world because of our own arrogance, causing us to miss the boat on affordable,
low-side-effect, nature-based treatments that may cure cancer, or be as
effective as the $100,000 per year high-side-effect drugs now pushed daily by
pharmaceuticals.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.0pt; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.0pt; text-indent: .5in;">
All the while
from around our world… </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.0pt; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.0pt; margin-left: .75in; text-indent: -.25in;">
• There exists an inexpensive malaria treatment, approved by the World
Health Organization, from the Artemesia plant that has shown success in
treating cancer.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.0pt; margin-left: .75in; text-indent: -.25in;">
• Russia has developed incredibly safe supplements such as Thymogen to
enhance immune systems, greatly improve healing, and fight cancer. These are so
safe they have been given to astronauts and children with excellent success.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.0pt; margin-left: .75in; text-indent: -.25in;">
• Latvia has a natural viral treatment for cancer that works so well it
is made freely available by the government to all its citizens.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.0pt; margin-left: .75in; text-indent: -.25in;">
• China and Japan use PSP and PSK from mushrooms as fully approved and
supported prescription medical treatment for cancer because they work.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.0pt; margin-left: .75in; text-indent: -.25in;">
• Israel has recently developed a treatment using a chlorophyll product
combined with light that safely treats cancer. Approved now in Mexico, it has
just completed successful clinical trials in Europe and will soon be approved
there.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.0pt; margin-left: .75in; text-indent: -.25in;">
• Europe has received excellent results with hyperthermia treatment for
cancer extending lives beyond where conventional treatments have failed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.0pt; margin-left: .75in; text-indent: -.25in;">
• England has a natural product that makes cancer cells more visible to
the immune system so the body’s immune system can naturally find and attack the
cancer.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.0pt; margin-left: .75in; text-indent: -.25in;">
• Plants and products such as parsley, ginger, orange peel pith, flax
hull lignans, eggplant derivatives, beta glucan from baker’s yeast, DIM from
cruciferous vegetables, and berberine from such plants as Oregon grape can
assist in killing cancer cells, slowing the progress of cancer and greatly
improving healing.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.0pt; margin-left: .75in; text-indent: -.25in;">
• New cancer tests are available in the U.S. that could save lives and
Billions of dollars in unnecessary medical procedures and government costs, yet
are unavailable to the majority of citizens because they’re not covered by
Medicare or insurance.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.0pt; margin-left: .75in; text-indent: -.25in;">
• And so many more options exist that we have yet to evaluate and
implement. Too many to list in this limited space.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.0pt; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.0pt; text-indent: .5in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
It was promoted as the
controversial test that saved <b>Ben Stiller’s</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> life @RedHourBen on the <b>Today Show</b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3970565033282960478#_edn1" name="_ednref1" style="mso-endnote-id: edn1;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;">[i]</span></span></a>
during @NoShaveToday, and ended with the pronouncement “<b>Every guy should get tested.</b>”
Of course they were talking about the <b>PSA</b> test that many medical and government
officials have suggested be done away with due to lack of accuracy and
suspected over-treatment issues. And while I totally agree that every man
should start with at least a PSA, and it is clear Ben’s simple and easy PSA test
put him on the path that saved his life, the ‘real news’ should have been that
there are <b>FOUR (4)</b> far more accurate, equally simple new tests, than the PSA that we
are failing to employ due to political and financial pressures. And because we
are remiss in employing these new tests, men are needlessly dying or being put
at greater risk from prostate cancer.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
Why these tests are not now the
tests of choice in the US is beyond me. One of these new tests has been used in
Europe since 2009 and Australia with exceptional results, and has been approved
for use in the U.S. since June of 2012. Unfortunately it may be years before
this test becomes commonplace as it is still unknown by many physicians or even
covered by insurance. How sad, but so typical. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<b>This first test is called the
Pro-PSA in Europe and the Prostate Health Index test (<a href="https://www.accureference.com/laboratory-test-directory/p/prostate-health-index-phi/">PHI Test</a>)</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span><b>in the U.S.</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"><b> </b>It is a simple blood test that combines three markers: PSA, percent
free (or free PSA), and a precursor form of PSA called -2proPSA (also termed
Pro-PSA or p2PSA). As a precursor to PSA, there is evidence that Pro-PSA is 2.5
times better connected to prostate cancer than say BPH.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3970565033282960478#_edn2" name="_ednref2" style="mso-endnote-id: edn2;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;">[ii]</span></span></a>
Results of these three markers are then run through a sophisticated algorithm
to determine the probability prostate cancer exists. </span><b>Research has
shown the PHI process to be Three Times Better</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> overall at predicting prostate cancer than standard PSA tests for men
in the 4.0 ng/ml to 10.0 ng/ml range. Test results are provided in PHI ranges
with the higher scores more indicative of cancer. Scores from 0 to 24.0 suggest
an 11% of cancer where highest scores greater than 55 have a 52.1% of cancer.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3970565033282960478#_edn3" name="_ednref3" style="mso-endnote-id: edn3;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;">[iii]</span></span></a>
Since the PHI test has so out-performed the previous combination results of PSA
and percent free, where used, it has greatly reduced unnecessary biopsies while
better detecting more aggressive prostate cancer. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
If you are considering testing for
prostate concerns it seems only appropriate to ask your doctor for the PHI test
whenever available. The lab currently doing the PHI test in the U.S. is ACCU
Reference Laboratory. You, or your doctor, can call direct and contact Vanessa
there at 908-474-1004 ext:145. Explain you would like a PHI Test Kit sent to
you (or to the doctor) and they will send out a kit with information brochure
and test instructions for 'free'.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
Next you need a doctor to order
the test. This could come from any primary care or urologist and may be covered
by insurance. Once samples are taken they are sent back to ACCU and they have a
24-hour turn around time for results that they send directly to your doctor.
Your doctor’s office can put in the insurance claim for the test. If it is NOT
covered by insurance the test cost should be billed at $110 from ACCU. There
will also be blood draw and FedEx shipping costs.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .25in;">
<b>The second improved prostate
test is the <a href="http://clinical.opko.com/how-does-4kscore-test-work">4KScore</a> Test.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3970565033282960478#_edn4" name="_ednref4" style="mso-endnote-id: edn4;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;">[iv]</span></span></a></b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> <span style="color: black;">This test provides a much
better look at the possibility of having Aggressive Prostate Cancer, claiming
94% accuracy in this area. Certainly an important consideration to determine if
a biopsy could be necessary. Based on 10 years of research by Memorial Sloan
Kettering Cancer Center, the test takes into account the patient’s age, any
previously negative biopsies, if there are any nodules discovered during the
DRE, total PSA, free PSA, intact PSA, and measures the amount of hK2 protein in
the blood. The protein hK2, also called human kallikrein-related peptide, is
made largely in the prostate and responsible for cleavage of pPSA to mature
PSA. Since PSA and hK2 express differently, they are considered independent
markers. As a general test to determine if one has prostate cancer the original
PSA test had an accuracy rate of roughly 55%. This was improved to 65% by
adding information from the Free/Total PSA test. The PHI test results have
improved prostate blood test accuracy approaching 75%. Now the 4KScore Test
comes along and has been called the most accurate test to assess a patient’s
risk for aggressive PCa prior to biopsy suggesting physicians could possibly
reduce the need for unnecessary biopsies by 30 to 50 percent while still
identifying high-grade treatment required cancers.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: black;"><b>The
third improved test is the <a href="http://mdxhealth.com/selectmdx-prostate-cancer">SelectMDX</a>. </b></span><span style="color: black;"> The
primary reason PSA is inaccurate is that PSA can vary widely for so many
different causes other than prostate cancer. Prostate infections such as
prostatitis, BPH, having sex, a doctor administered DRE, medications and
supplements, even a long bicycle ride can cause your PSA to dramatically climb.
This is why there are 750,000 unnecessary prostate biopsies done in the U.S.
each and every year. Now the PHI and 4KScore tests are considerably more
accurate because they take into account additional factors, but they still rely
on PSA for part of their calculations and results. To avoid this PSA conundrum
there now comes a new and possibly better prostate test. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: black;">It is a
relatively more accurate version of the original PCA3 test. <b>The important
point to note is that the SelectMDX does not rely on PSA</b></span><span style="color: black;">. Instead this test measures two distinct biomarkers in relation
to cancer. From this you receive two different percentage numbers that include
the likelihood you might have low-grade PCa, and the likelihood you might have
high-grade PCa. The test uses a Urine sample directly after a DRE. Doctors can
order the test kit from the company in Irvine, CA
http://mdxhealth.com/selectmdx-prostate-cancer and the test without insurance
is billed at $500 but with 'prompt pay’ - within 30 days after billing, the
cost is reduced to $200. Be sure to check with the MDX billing department for
confirmation on this and to see if your insurance might work. Note: some
insurance companies like Aetna have covered it in the past.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: black;">For all
men with a widely varying PSA, I believe this would be an excellent test.
Accuracy for determining lack of prostate cancer appears to be around 90% to
96%. Most likely you will need to find and talk with an informed ND or MD in
your area to have the DRE and sample properly taken.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: black;"><b>The
fourth improved test is the <a href="http://oncoblotlabs.com/">ONCOblot</a>. </b></span>There is available today a new
test capable of detecting 27 different types of cancer, and there organ of
origin, with a single blood draw including: <b>Prostate</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">, Bladder, Breast, Cervical, Colorectal,
Endometrial, Esophageal, Gastric, Hepatocellular, Kidney, Leukemia, Non-Small
cell, Lung Small cell, Lymphoma, Melanoma, Mesothelioma, Multiple Myeloma,
Myeloma, Ovarian, Pancreatic, Sarcoma,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Squamous Cell, Thyroid, Follicular, Uterine, Papillary, Testicular Germ
Cell cancers. It accomplishes this by using the ENOX2 protein as a marker,<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3970565033282960478#_edn5" name="_ednref5" style="mso-endnote-id: edn5;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;">[v]</span></span></a>
and then determining its molecular weight and isoelectric point. The test,
though not infallible, claims a 99.3% reliability for determining cancer(s)
with no false positives, and 96% accuracy in determining the type of, and organ
site, of the cancer.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3970565033282960478#_edn6" name="_ednref6" style="mso-endnote-id: edn6;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;">[vi]</span></span></a> Certainly
better results than the original PSA test. This ONCOblot test has been called,
“the most sensitive blood test for cancer available today”. Unfortunately it
can’t determine the stage of the cancer, the amount of the cancer load, or any
cancer spread. It just effectively tells you if you have cancer, or not. Yet
when considering whether to have a biopsy, determining if you have the real
possibility of cancer beforehand is incredibly valuable knowledge. Currently,
the ONCOblot test is approved by the FDA as a ‘Laboratory Developed Test’.
Unfortunately, it is not covered by insurance, as it is too new, and little
known by many oncologists. It was first made available to the public January
2013. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
Using this test as a follow-up to
the standard PSA test that so often triggers a biopsy, could save the American
public and insurance companies over $2 Billion per year by dramatically
reducing the 750,000 unnecessary negative prostate biopsies. But the real
benefit may come from the millions of lives it could save. You see this test
can find cancer even before major symptoms appear. It detects cancer with as
few as 2 million cells, unlike current mammogram scans that need 4.5 trillion
cells to register.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
If these 4 tests were covered by
insurance today, we could save the U.S. billions of wasted medical dollars in
unnecessary medical procedures, and more importantly hundreds of thousands of
lives each year through more accurate and earlier cancer detection and
appropriate treatment. This should be the real news story. Why we are failing
to employ these tests when there is so much to gain from their use, and why we
allow 500,000 U.S. citizens to die of cancer each and every year without doing
everything possible to save their lives.<br />

natural abilities to kill cancer cells</b>, or at the very least stave off cancer,
without the serious side effects so often attributed to laboratory created
drugs. Could it be these plants were put here as a gift to heal our bodies and
our planet?
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Backed by thousands of fully documented clinical studies and
research papers regarding their ingredients, <b>Parsley</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> and </span><b>Celery </b><span style="font-weight: normal;">are just two of the everyday plants found in produce aisles and
farmer’s markets that may one day save your life. Together they provide a
fabulous source of nutrients and natural chemicals to boost and moderate one’s
immune system, strengthen bones, relieve joint pain, relax stiff muscles,
protect against aging, improve kidney and liver functions, reduce inflammation,
protect against neurodegenerative disorders, reduce free-radicals, reduce bad
cholesterol, improve bowel movements, moderate blood pressure, reduce urinary
and gall bladder stones, improve urinary infections, boost liver enzymes to
detox the body, kill cancer cells, and prevent cancer from spreading. It this
fascinating cancer research regarding parsley, celery, and their component
parts that we will explore. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In 2008 a <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18407592"><b>clinical trial in Germany</b></a> found that with regular
use of just 10mg of <b>apigenin</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">, </span><b>a
natural flavonoid found abundantly in parsley and celery</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> plus 10mg of EGCG, a polyphenol from green tea, the
recurrence rate of colorectal cancer was dramatically reduced.
In 2006 it was confirmed that <a href="http://molecular-cancer.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1476-4598-5-76"><b>apigenin inhibited the growth of pancreatic cancer cells</b></a> and could possibly prevent pancreatic cancer.
A research paper in 2010 makes a strong case for <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2874462/"><b>the use of apigenin as a cancer-preventing agent</b></a>; along with suggesting it could work equally well to
prevent cardiovascular and neurological disorders.
Another study in 2012 regarding ovarian cancer suggested that <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3397525/"><b>apigenin could inhibit tumor metastasis</b></a>.
And a study in 2015 suggests <a href="http://www.bioscirep.org/content/ppbioscirep/35/6/e00276.full.pdf"><b>apigenin may be effective at treating and preventing breast cancer</b></a>. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In relation to prostate cancer there have been a plethora of
studies confirming mechanisms where apigenin kills cancer cells and impedes
cancer’s growth. A 2007 study determined that <a href="http://cancerres.aacrjournals.org/content/67/9_Supplement/1576"><b>apigenin kills prostate cancer cells by activation of the p53 suppression protein, and by reactive oxygen species</b></a> (ROS) generation that resulted in disruption of the mitochondrial
membrane in cancer cells.
This is especially interesting because it may imply apigenin would be an
effective complimentary treatment alongside artusenate, marijuana, and EGCG
protocols. In 2008 a study found that <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2577719/"><b>apigenin inactivates the Akt signaling pathway effectively killing prostate small cell carcinoma</b></a>.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3970565033282960478#_edn7" name="_ednref7" style="mso-endnote-id: edn7;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"></span></span></a>
Additional research in 2009 found that <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2647985/"><b>apigenin inhibited IGF-1 and IGF-1R</b></a>
(insulin like growth factor) leading to prostate cancer cell death.
A study in 2013 showed that <a href="http://carcin.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2013/09/20/carcin.bgt316"><b>apigenin suppressed prostate cancer progression</b></a>.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3970565033282960478#_edn9" name="_ednref9" style="mso-endnote-id: edn9;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;">[ix]</span></span></a>
In 2014 it was determined that apigenin stops inhibitor proteins from
preventing a prostate cancer cell’s natural death cycle.
And further research in 2016 suggests <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3997183/"><b>apigenin could prevent growth and migration of cancer cells, even cancer stem cells</b></a>, throughout the body.
The true beauty of these studies is they support apigenin as a multi-pathway
treatment process exhibiting broad anti-cancer effects.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b>One has to wonder</b></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b>what it will take
to for our scientific and medical communities</b></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b>to fully research
and implement</b></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b>nature-based, low
side effect, affordable cancer treatments</b></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b>such as apigenin
along with the many other available options?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
These studies are but a tiny touch of the vast quantity of
documentation showing apigenin’s positive and proactive results in relation to
cancer. <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2874462/"><b>Study after study has confirmed apigenin’s potential as a preventative and therapeutic agent</b></a> for prostate, breast, cervical, colon, hematologic, lung,
ovarian, skin, thyroid, endometrial, gastric, liver, adrenal, and neuroblastoma
cancers.
<b>Yet full clinical trials for its approval by the FDA, and other agencies,
have been lacking because there’s simply no financial return.</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> The stuff is just too darn cheap and readily
available, so no one wants to put up the tens of millions required for the
necessary clinical trials. You see apigenin is abundantly available from the
foods, herbs, and spices we eat everyday. It’s found in parsley, celery,
peppermint, thyme, rutabagas, bell peppers, artichokes, iceberg lettuce,
chamomile tea, grapefruit, onions, cilantro, licorice, flax, and more. With two
of its most abundant sources coming from parsley leaves and celery leaves. For
instance, a small 100-gram bunch of raw Italian parsley holds about 300mg of
apigenin. The same is true for around 100g of celery tops with leaves, though
the celery stalks hold much less apigenin at approximately 4.6mg per 100 grams.
Dried parsley leaves may be one of the easiest and more abundant sources of
apigenin with approximately 325mg of apigenin contained within a single
teaspoon of the spice.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are even apigenin pills available as supplements. For
instance, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Swanson-Apigenin-50-90-Caps/dp/B001TEIJIQ"><b>Swanson puts out a 50 mg Apigenin pill available on Amazon.com</b></a> and
through other sources. So why not just take an apigenin pill and be protected from cancer. The problem
with this comes from a possible issue of less bioavailability, along with the
lack of other important nutrients and chemicals found in parsley and celery
that work synergistically to heal cancer. Parsley and celery contain many rich
antioxidants such as vitamins – A, B1, B2, B6, C, K, beta-carotene, and
quercetin. They also contain multiple flavonoids such as apigenin, luteolin,
and chrysoroil each attacking cancer in different ways. Then there’s
chlorophyll to deactivate carcinogens, and polyactylenes such as falcorinol,
plus volatile oils such as myristicin, crisoeriol, and apiin; all having
anti-cancer properties. And studies have shown that when these are ingested
together from the entire plant complex found in parsley and celery, the
apigenin is more stable and better absorbed. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Taking this all into consideration, let’s take a look at some
practical options for acquiring effective amounts of apigenin through the use
of parsley and celery to improve our health and possibly prevent or treat
cancer. The key to remember here is it may not take much apigenin to be
effective. Remember the successful study mentioned above using only 10mg of
apigenin and 10mg of EGCG? Many researchers believe it’s not the amount of the
dose but the continued application over time that makes for successful
treatment. Then there are side effects to consider. Did you know you could eat
too much parsley? For that matter too much of any food can be unhealthy, and
some foods reach that threshold quicker than others. Then there’s the fact that
everyone’s body reacts differently pending on their overall health and what other
substances they ingest at the same time. So in determining how much parsley or
celery to ingest we need to first look at any possible side effects.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Parsley and celery contain oxalates that could damage or be
hard on an unhealthy kidney, liver, or gall bladder. Parsley could increase
blood pressure whereas celery could decrease it. Too much parsley and celery
may also interfere with thyroid function so those with hypothyroid issues
should use these carefully and consult their doctor. Parsley is not recommended
for women on hormone replacement therapy or who are pregnant. Too much of these
could abort a pregnancy. Nor should it be used within 2 weeks of surgery. And
certain chemotherapy drugs are either reduced in their effectiveness or
improved with parsley, celery, or apinenin therapy. Parsley and celery also
contain natural diuretics, laxatives, and stress reducers. Pending on
circumstances this can be a good thing but too much can be a problem. For
instance an overabundance of these could result in headaches, lack of
equilibrium, and disorientation. Finally some people are allergic to parsley
and celery. The best advice I can provide here, before embarking on any regime
that uses a lot of any one food or spice, be sure to consult with a medical
professional; and in this case reviewing your health with a naturopath who
truly understands parsley and celery would be best.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With all this said the question becomes, how much does one
use in relation to cancer. Unfortunately, much to our disgrace, there have not
been the necessary comprehensive safety studies completed to determine maximum
safe amounts. But we do have some limited information. Regarding parsley, some
sources suggest one can safely eat up to 6 grams per day, while another source
suggests up to <a href="https://www.drugs.com/npc/parsley.html"><b>50 grams per meal is safe</b></a>.
There do not appear to be suggestions regarding maximum amounts of celery
unless one is pregnant. And users and medical professionals generally consider
Apigenin safe for healthy adults, though I find no ruling from the FDA. Studies
completed on mice suggest apigenin at a dose of 50mg per kg of body weight to
be safe, with toxicity not starting until 100mg per kg of body weight was
reached. Of course these numbers may not apply to a human but they certainly
suggest a dose of 100mg to 200mg per day for a healthy person could be well
within the safe range. Then too remember, it’s no so much the quantity of
apigenin but the continued application. With all this information in mind, I
believe the following regime could be a good starting point for anyone dealing
with cancer if you are considering supplementation with parsley and celery for
the apigenin. Remember this is only a suggested approach for you to discuss
with your medical professional.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>1) Daily, except for smoothie days, ingest one-quarter to
one-third teaspoon of Certified Organic Dried Parsley Flakes mixed with a meal.</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>2) Two days per week, about 3 days apart, drink an
anti-cancer raw vegetable smoothie:</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>In high-speed blender place the following ‘raw’
ingredients:</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<b>• One Half+ cup water</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<b>• Two Organic Celery stalks with
as much Leafy Top Material as possible</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<b>• 6 to 8 sprigs of Organic
Italian Parsley</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<b>• One Half Organic Red Apple
with peel</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<b>• One Medium size Organic Carrot</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<b>• One Quarter small Red Organic
Beet </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<b>• Three ice cubes</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Blend until smooth and drink immediately</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>This smoothie is best ingested in the morning due to its
potential diuretic and detox properties. You may also need to reduce beet use
until you are accustomed to its detoxing effects.</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Note:</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> The raw
organic carrot provides carotenoids, polyphenols, polyacetylenes, vitamins, and
minerals that are believed to have antioxidant, anti-cancer, and immune
enhancing properties. One of the strongest of these to inhibit cancer cells is
<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2745230/"><b>falcarinol</b></a>. The raw
organic beet helps to detox the liver while providing natural betacyanins and
betalains. Betanin, a highly researched betalain, has been found to have
anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, detoxifying, and anti-cancer characteristics.
Studies have shown betanin to impede cancer cell growth for breast, prostate,
colon, stomach, lung, and testicular cancers. The effectiveness of falcarinol
and betanin quickly disappears when vegetables are cooked. The apple has many
nutrients to fight cancer. And a 2010 study suggests that the apple peel may be
the most effective part as both a preventative and antiproliferative against
cancer by activating a tumor suppressor gene called <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20432173"><b>maspin</b></a>.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3970565033282960478#_edn16" name="_ednref16" style="mso-endnote-id: edn16;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"></span></span></a>
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KI-jaZTRU8M"><b>YouTube</b></a><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"></span></span>
has an interesting video about apple peels killing cancer cells. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I hope this provides you with good ideas in relation to
preventing and treating cancer through nature-based, low side effect,
affordable means. It’s important to note that cancer is both crafty and
tenacious. Most everyone will agree, to truly cure cancer a multi-faceted
approach is needed. Please consider this information as only one of the many
nature-based tools available to prevent and partially treat cancer.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
Did you know the average adult is
around 60% water and continued water circulation is essential for health? With
sufficient water our bodies run better. Metabolism speeds up, toxins are efficiently
removed, overall pain and headaches are reduced; you eat healthier, digest your
food better, and experience more energy. Lack of water deteriorates the body’s
functions fostering obesity, diabetes, heart issues, even cancer. Recommendations
for the appropriate amount of daily water consumption vary greatly, and are rarely
met by most people. Some suggest men should consume 15 cups of water per day,
others say 13 cups, and more recently the number has been reduced to 8 cups. For
women the numbers are lower with 13, 9, and 8 cups respectively being recommended.
From many naturopaths I hear the figure of 10 cups, or 80 ounces for an adult
male and 70 ounces for an adult female. <b>Here’s the point, water is important
and if you are not drinking at least 64 ounces (8 cups) per day, you are doing
your body a disservice.</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> Other beverages
count for little in the hydration process. Drinking 8 cups of coffee, tea, juice,
sports drinks, or soda such as Coke does not have the same effect as water.
These beverages can provide dangerous side effects from too much sugar,
caffeine, or unwanted additives; many are diuretic in nature and offer poor
hydration. So for the majority of your beverages stick with clean water for true
health. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
Now with the amount of water
necessary for proper health, and cleansing the body of toxins, we must consider
the other end of the equation. Given a state of equilibrium all that water
going in has to come out somewhere. And for many seniors this creates a serious
problem resulting in lack of sleep when too many trips to the potty are taken
throughout the night. Prolonged lack of sleep can further depress the immune
system exacerbating health issues such as cancer. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
So let’s take a more detailed look
at the water process and how to best mitigate the flow to achieve a restful
night. Simply put, when you drink water it travels through the stomach, through
the small intestine, and then into the large intestine where it’s absorbed.
From here it works its way into blood vessels and travels around the body
eventually making its way to the liver, heart and lungs, and then to the
kidneys. The two kidneys, located on each side of the abdomen, are part of the
body’s filtering system, and it is here that water and toxins are removed from
the blood. They also remove excess drugs, balance bodily fluid, control the
production of red blood cells, help to regulate blood pressure, and produce a
form of vitamin-d. Keeping you kidneys healthy with enough water flowing
through is critical for good health. From the kidneys, water now as urine travels
through two tubes called ureters into the single bladder. As the bladder fills
with urine it expands like a balloon. When the bladder signals it is full, a
valve at the bottom opens and you pee. A healthy bladder can hold around 2 cups
of urine before signaling its time to pee, and a healthy body takes around 45
minutes for water to flow through your system. If you are well hydrated it may
flow faster, and if you are dehydrated your body will retain more fluid so your
bladder will fill slower.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
Whether you drink a lot of water,
or little during your waking hours, the kidneys are always producing urine ridding
our bodies’ of toxic wastes. No matter how much you drink the bladder is
constantly filling at different rates. Even if you stopped drinking fluids your
kidneys would happily keep making urine until your body is deficient in water. Then
your body would gradually grind to a halt from accumulated toxins. Sufficient
water is essential to keep us alive. So no matter what you do, your bladder is
filling at night. Fortunately the body, knowing your need for rest, is designed
to slow the process by making a hormone at night retarding kidney functions. With
slower bladder filling you sleep soundly through the night. Until you start to age,
and the system starts to get tired or break down.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
As you age there are a multitude
of issues that can cause a sense of urgency, waking one throughout the night
for a trip to the bathroom. And the older you get the more trips you may be
making. Studies have shown, when one is younger and healthy say at 25, there
will be an average of 6 trips to pee in a day (within 24 hours); and rarely is
there a bathroom break needed at night. But by the age of 55 there are
approximately 8 trips to pee with usually one trip to the bathroom in the
middle of the night. And by the age of 65, many seniors are naturally making 1.4
to 2 trips to pee in the night. In other words on every night most seniors will
have 1 bathroom trip, and some nights two. If your bathroom routine is busier
than these schedules, it’s suggested you seek the help of a medical
professional to evaluate why. And though these are the averages many seniors discover
as they grow older some nights, seeming at random, have more trips to pee than
others. The question becomes, why. Let’s see if we can shed some light on this
subject.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
There are many reasons for waking
more often to pee in the night. It may be something as simple as decreased
bladder elasticity due to age, overactive bladder muscles, or you having trained
your bladder to retain less fluid. Bladder training can come from making unnecessary
frequent trips to the bathroom because you are worried about needing to pee at
an inopportune time. As your bladder becomes use to voiding before it is
properly full the muscles and elasticity change to recognize the process and
will naturally duplicate it later. You have essentially trained your bladder to
void early. The solution for this condition may be Kegel exercises to improve
bladder control or consciously extending the time between trips to pee.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
Another easy fix comes when fluids
are consumed too close to bedtime. People often consume 30% to 40% of their
fluids during or after a late dinner. To resolve the problem this creates, you
will want to consume the majority of your beverages before 4:00pm leaving
roughly a half cup of water or beverage for diner, and just enough fluid to
take any pills in the later evening. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
Then there are the types of foods
and beverages consumed late at night. Many act as diuretics causing the kidneys
to go into overtime, filling the bladder quicker and more often during the
night. If you are having frequent bathroom calls disturbing your sleep, foods
and beverages you may want to stay away from in the latter part of the evening
include: citrus fruits, pineapple, peaches, watermelon, oats, celery, Brussels sprouts,
ginger, beets, cabbage, eggplant, carrots, artichoke, asparagus, alcohol,
chocolate, all spicy foods, apple cider vinegar, coffee, caffeinated tea, all excessive
sugary drinks and desserts, and all caffeinated beverages. It’s not that these
foods and beverages are all ‘bad’ for you. In fact many are extremely healthy for
a good diet. It is just that they can trigger your kidneys to produce more
urine. Therefore, if you enjoy many of these foods as I do, eat them earlier in
the day to reduce those unwanted bedtime bathroom trips.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
While there is a long list of
foods and beverages that may trigger more urine at night, there are few options
that could slow the process. True licorice, not just artificial flavoring, can
be antidiuretic when taken in the evening but it is not wise to use if you have
high blood pressure or stomach issues. The herb valerian often used for insomnia,
anxiety, and to reduce nervous restlessness also has antidiuretic properties
but it can loose effectiveness with extended use; and valerian should not be
used by anyone experiencing depression. So check with your doctor first.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
Of course there can be more difficult
issues at work causing you to wake too often. For many people the trigger can
be intermittent snoring resulting in sleep apnea. When one’s airway becomes
restricted the heart muscle trying to correct blood flow puts out a hormone
called atrial natriuretic peptide that has the additional effect of increasing
urine production. In this case when sleep apnea is corrected the bathroom calls
at night often disappear. Another more serious heart issue causes fluid to
collect in the legs during the day. Because of this, if you find yourself
retaining fluid in your legs it’s wise to get your heart checked. Regarding
sleep, excess fluid in the legs will be released back into the upper body throughout
the night. To reduce this excess fluid, the kidneys will repeatedly fill the
bladder. The sleep solution for this problem is laying down with your feet
elevated above the level of your heart for an hour or two in the late afternoon
and early evening. This allows you to rid your body of excess fluids before
bedtime. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
Another area to consider is that
many medications such as blood pressure meds, and supplements, have diuretic
effects. If you are having sleep issues be sure to ask your doctor(s) about the
diuretic effects of any medications and supplements taken in the evening. If
the meds are required, your doctor may come up with a different schedule for
their administration.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
Finally there are more complex far-reaching
issues such as diabetes, infections, enlarged prostate, obesity, and
neurodegenerative disorders that may cause one to wake more frequently at
night. The solution to these could be as easy as loosing weight, an antibiotic
for infection, special supplements to shrink or improve an enlarged prostate; or
as difficult as prescriptions or surgery. The key point to remember is, if you
are experiencing recent unexplained changes in your sleep-bathroom patterns,
and changing your diet and fluid intake patterns does not make immediate improvement,
it’s time to consult a professional to find out why. My recommendation is to
consult both a ND and MD for advice in this matter, as they will approach the
issue from different viewpoints giving you a multitude of options from which to
choose.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
Quality sleep is so very important
for one’s health. As we become older it appears that our urinary system tends
to get tired, and getting up once per night to pee is often the norm. This can
be OK as long as we allow enough time to return to bed and gather additional
rest. The real problem comes when our sleep pattern is disturbed too often
during the night. Research studies have shown there is a strong relationship
between lack of sleep and prostate, colorectal, and breast cancers. There is a
twofold risk of developing prostate cancer with ongoing major sleep
disturbance; a 50% increased risk of colorectal cancer for those sleeping less
than 6 hours per night; and a much higher likelihood of aggressive breast
cancer with lack of sleep. Both sleep and water are vital to a healthy immune
system, so monitor your water intake, get plenty of rest, and seek professional
help when needed. More information regarding the value of sleep may be found in my book,

antioxidant ability) to fight cancer with a value of 19,600 per 100 grams
compared to say kale at 1,770 per hundred grams. Flax hull lignans are also
considered the richest source of natural phytoestrogens and have been
recognized by the National Cancer Institute for their ability to prevent
cancer. As with any supplemental product, you will want to discuss flax hull
lignan use, interactions, and dosage with an informed doctor. The majorities of
people experience no side effects with flax hull lignan supplementation but
potential allergic reactions; changes in hormones; decreased clotting; possible
constipation; and changes in medications are all things to consider.</span></div>

cancer treatments.</b> Expanding on nature-based already available SPDT treatment
protocols, recent clinical trials have shown incredible results healing
prostate cancer ‘without side effects’ by using what is basically chlorophyll
and light. Again, it’s the nature-based treatments combined with solid science
that are revealing a path to healing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Palatino;"> </span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-hyphenate: none; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">Developed by a team of scientists at the Weizmann
Institute in Israel, a procedure called Tookad® Vascular-Targeted Photodynamic
Therapy, or Tookad® VTP, has proven itself through clinical trials to cure up
to 80% of early stage prostate cancer patients. Doing so without any of the
debilitating, life-threatening side effects so often resulting from surgery,
radiation, and chemotherapy. The outpatient procedure takes less than 90
minutes. During this time a nature-based photosensitized drug called Tookad®
Soluble made from aquatic bacteriochlorophyll is injected. Then very thin optic
fibers are inserted into the cancerous tissue. The fibers are used to transmit
near-infrared light directly to the cancer site. Light plus Tookad® Soluble in
cancer cells immediately creates oxygen radicals and nitric oxide radicals, causing
the closure of cancer cell blood supply lines. Without nutrients, the cancer
cells die. Then the dead cancer cells along with any extra Tookad® Soluble are
naturally flushed out of the body without damage to healthy tissue or side
effects. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-hyphenate: none; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">Tookad® VTP research is expanding to include many
different forms of cancer. Clinical trials are ongoing at New York’s Sloan
Kettering Cancer Center. For now, thanks to a clinical trial with 80 patients
from Mexico, Peru, and Panama the procedure is fully approved and available in
Mexico. A <a href="http://www.firstwordpharma.com/node/1366390#axzz45W82GmIP"><b>European Trial</b></a> has recently concluded with 47 medical centers
enrolling over 400 patients.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Results confirmed, “Tookad® VTP was effective at reducing rates of
progression, conferring a negative biopsy status, and diminishing the need for
radical therapy.” In the U.S. a small, recently completed <a href="http://www.jurology.com/article/S0022-5347(16)30587-0/fulltext"><b>2016 Trial confirmed a 73.3% cure rate with optimal dosing</b></a>. <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3970565033282960478#_edn2" name="_ednref2" style="mso-endnote-id: edn2;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="color: red; vertical-align: baseline; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"></span></span></span></a>For prostate cancer patients, and most likely many other forms of cancer,
Tookad® VTP with its current success rate and lack of side effects is a medical
miracle. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-hyphenate: none; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-hyphenate: none; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">With its success rate; easy, safe, and short treatment process; and
lack of side effects, one has to wonder why this isn’t already the treatment of
choice for early prostate cancer.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">Let’s take it one step
further. By combining Tookad® VTP with more effective early detection
procedures such as ONCOblot and nature-based pre-treatments such as Artesunate,
also employing an oxidative process to kill cancer, along with immune
modulators such as Thymogen to boost immune system activity, I believe we could
relegate deaths from prostate cancer to a mere footnote in history. Look for
more information about this procedure to follow soon.</span></div>

Exercise<b><span style="color: black;">Want to live longer and fell
better while avoiding a cancer or its recurrence? </span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">The solution is as simple as
exercising 3-4 hours per week. You’ll reduce your risk of getting cancer by
over 60%, and reduce your risk of a cancer relapse by 40%. Incredible benefits
for only a few hours per week, yet how many just can’t find the time to
exercise, or even move their body beyond work, home, and refrigerator.</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;">It doesn’t take much. A 2011 study
looking at men diagnosed with prostate cancer found just 3 hours of vigorous
physical activity per week lowered their risk of dying from cancer by 61%. Men
over 65 with prostate cancer who exercise regularly enjoy even better odds.
Just 3 hours exercise per week reduced their risk of dying by a whopping 70%.
Expanding the benefits of exercise, the <a href="http://www.macmillan.org.uk/Documents/AboutUs/Newsroom/Physicalactivityreport.pdf"><b>Macmillan Cancer Support Study</b></a>,</span><span style="color: black;"> a review 60 studies and survey of 400 health care
professionals, found that breast cancer patients reduced their mortality by 40%
with exercise, and bowel cancer patients reduced their risk of dying by 50%. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;">And if you were exercising before
your cancer diagnosis, <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21205749"><b>your odds are even better</b></a>.</span> <span style="color: black;">Now think about this, many men and women don’t even
realize they have cancer till its been growing inside for a long time. This is
precious time when you could have been exercising to improve your odds. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;">Exercise acts on cancer in
multiple ways. It reduces internal inflammation preventing cancer’s occurrence.
In addition, a 2003 study found that <a href="http://ww2.biol.sc.edu/~bergerlab/guest%20lectures%20610/jamie.pdf"><b>exercise increases the p53 tumor suppressor gene while reducing IGF-1</b></a>.</span><span style="color: black;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
acts to stop radical cell growth and promote natural cancer cell death thereby
preventing and stopping cancer in its tracks. In truth, the more active you are
the less possibility of cancer you’ll have. Add to this, the findings out of a
study looking at 572 cancer patients who had their prostates removed because of
cancer. They found men participating in more exercise had more normally shaped
blood vessels in their tumors. Why is this important? Tests have shown more
<a href="http://www.pcf.org/site/c.leJRIROrEpH/b.8968717/k.695D/Exercise_and_Prostate_Cancer8212the_evidence_stacks_up_for_benefits.htm"><b>regularly shaped blood vessels equate to quicker and more complete healing</b></a>
results after treatment.</span> <span style="color: black;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;">Then it’s important to consider
the quality of life after cancer treatment. A 2015 study of women treated for
breast cancer found those who participated in a trainer supervised, slowly
progressive weight training program achieved much better physical functioning
than those who merely rested after treatment. <a href="http://www.pcf.org/site/c.leJRIROrEpH/b.8968717/k.695D/Exercise_and_Prostate_Cancer8212the_evidence_stacks_up_for_benefits.htm"><b>Simple daily activities such as walking, carrying things, even getting out of the bed or shower were all improved</b></a> for those who exercised over those who did not.</span><span style="color: black;"> Studies also found that <a href="http://www.breastcancer.org/research-news/exercise-during-chemo-reduces-side-effects"><b>breast cancer patients who exercised experienced less nausea, reduced risk of blood clots, had easier digestion with less constipation, reduced weight, enjoyed a healthier sex drive, and experienced more energy.</b></a></span> <span style="color: black;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;">Activities such as guided
exercise, biking, tennis, jogging, swimming and even fast walking all
contributed to lowering health risks, though some feel they’re only a little
overweight so why put out the effort. Bet you didn’t know you don’t have to be
obese or really fat to increase your risks of cancer. Just 10 to 20 pounds
overweight may start the process. Excess fat actually acts like an organ in
your body. It makes hormones and proteins that increase inflammation that
directly cause cancer. Fat is not just fat. There are over 20 hormones and 80
different harmful proteins made by the fat around your middle. The greater the fat,
the more nasty chemicals are being made. This eventually causes cellular DNA
damage while supporting cancer development, growth, and recurrence. Yet how
many patients have their cancer treated without addressing the overweight
lifestyle that contributed to or created the cancer. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;">But cancer isn’t the only
consequence. It is well documented that excess fat, especially around your
middle, causes general inflammation throughout your body. This inflammation can
lead to heart attacks, stroke, Alzheimer’s, nervous system disorders and much
more. To live a high quality of life we need to break out of this destructive
process. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;">So our tasks become staying
physically fit, getting your blood really flowing, and reducing your gut. Have
you taken a good look at the American population recently? How many do you see
walking around with a basketball or worse pushing out from where their stomach
used to be? No man or woman was born like this. Nor did it just happen. It took
years of neglect and abuse to grow that gut, the same gut that may reduce you
to your knees with cancer. Do you now see its time to start making healthier
lifestyle changes?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;">Yet where do you begin? If you
haven’t been to a gym in awhile, it can be an intimidating process. Then too,
cancer treatment will sap your strength and resolve. Chemotherapy drugs,
radiation, or surgery often cause overwhelming fatigue, muscle pain, diarrhea
or constipation, weakness and more, all things that reduce your resolve to get
the needed exercise that will reduce or relieve these symptoms. Your mind may
say, ‘I need the exercise’, but your body is saying, ‘I can’t do it’, ‘I’m
afraid’, ‘It won’t make a difference’, or ‘I’m just too sore or tired’.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;">At this point you need to realize,
its your life we are talking about, and if you want to improve your life, its
time to start moving. If you can only do one thing, just get out and walk. Take
30 minutes or an hour a day, and walk around your neighborhood. Meandering with
your dog isn’t nearly as good as a really quick walk. Then start by getting to
the gym at least once a week. Now here’s the important part. If you haven’t
been to the gym before, or if your body has been depleted with cancer
treatments, you will need a personal trainer skilled in working with cancer
patients. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;">Look for a gym that can provide you
with individualized training and the personalized support specialized in
working with cancer and overweight patients. This will help you renew your
energy while rebuilding your body. Regardless of your current abilities or
challenges, there is no need to worry what others will think of your current
skills or progress. Often a boutique exercise facility, featuring
individualized training and small classes with professionals who understand
your cancer journey, will be best.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;"><b>If you still need one more reason
to exercise, then hear this!</b> A <a href="http://www.nature.com/ncomms/2016/160112/ncomms10230/full/ncomms10230.html"><b>new 2016 study</b></a> found fat cells in adipose tissue surrounding the prostate in overweight
men make a chemokine called CCL7. This links with a prostate cancer chemical
labeled CCR3, causing the cancer to spread while becoming much more aggressive,
and creating a much greater chance of recurrence after treatment. Simply put,
fat acts to draw out the cancer from prostates and spread it around the body. From
this study they learned the more overweight you are, the bigger your gut, the
greater chance you will have difficult to treat, aggressive prostate cancer.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;"><b>The solution is simple, If you
like living, start eating right and exercise today!</b></span></div>

After reading this, you may consume
more green tea.</b> Each cup of tea is loaded with catechins. These are polyphenols
that have been shown to assist with the prevention and treatment of various
cancers. Major polyphenols in green tea include epicatechin (EC),
epicatechin-3-gallate (ECG), epigallocatechin (EGC), and
epigallocatechin-3-gallate (<b>EGCG</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">).
Green tea also contains to a lesser amount the polyphenols kaempferol,
myricitrin and quercetin. Of all the polyphenols in green tea the most abundant
is EGCG. One cup of green tea will contain 300-400mg mixed polyphenols,
including approximately 100-150mg EGCG.</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For 5,000 years, Chinese have been drinking green tea. They
also enjoy some of the <a href="http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ijc.11550/pdf"><b>lowest incidence of prostate cancer</b></a>. The question
becomes, could this partially be do to the green tea? The answer appears to be
yes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Multiple studies have shown
drinking green tea reduces the risk of cancer. When patients treat their cancer
with it, green tea decreases cancer cell viability along with promoting cancer
cell death. Green tea is unique. It has been found to have either antioxidant
or oxidative effects pending on the health of the cell it reaches, along with
anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic, anti-arteriosclerotic and anti-bacterial
properties. One study found <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14618627/"><b>drinking 3 cups of green tea per day lowered prostate cancer risk</b></a>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another study looking at 49,920
men in Japan found <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17906295/"><b>drinking 5 cups of green tea per day significantly reduced the risk of advanced prostate cancer</b></a>.
But who really wants to drink that much tea? Could it also cause problems, and
don’t forget about the caffeine. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What if there was something from green tea anyone could take
to obtain the same benefits without the volume of tea, or its caffeine? Truth
be known, it does exist. Researchers have long looked at the benefits of EGC
and EGCG in direct relationship to cancer. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In prostate cancer they found that EGC and EGCG are
effective at <a href="http://www.fasebj.org/content/25/4/1198.full"><b>reducing the enzyme 5-alpha reductase process</b></a> thereby inhibiting
the conversion of testosterone into DHT effectively blocking it from cancer
cells.
This process is much like the action of the cancer drug bicalutamide and other
antiandrogen cancer drugs, without the severe side effects. Then again many
believe prostate cancer’s growth is fed by DHT, so reduce DHT and slow the
growth. Researchers also found that EGCG retards the angiogenesis process by
preventing new cancer blood vessel nutrient supply lines, essentially starving
the cancer. In addition researchers discovered when EGCG is used with another
component, it effectively blocks ENOX2 proteins causing interference with the cancer
cell’s ability to mature and divide, effectively cutting their growth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And there’s still more. EGCG coming into contact with cancer
cells results in the production of hydrogen peroxide. When this H(2)O(2) reacts
with the increased iron stored in, and needed by, cancer cells, potent <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11890677"><b>reactive oxygen species (ROS) are created</b></a> such as hydroxyl radicals,
creating a <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15090467"><b>heightened oxidative state</b></a> causing apoptotic cell destruction.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Following this train of thought, <a href="http://news.psu.edu/story/342487/2015/01/28/research/green-tea-ingredient-may-target-protein-kill-oral-cancer-cells"><b>new research from Penn State</b></a> confirmed EGCG from green tea damages the mitochondria of
cancer cells reducing the expression of anti-oxidant genes causing further
oxidative stress leading to cancer’s demise. They also proposed that EGCG
interacts with a protein, SIRT3, to facilitate the process. The truly
remarkable part of this interaction between EGCG and SIRT3 is that, it’s
selective in nature. EGCG turns on SIRT3 in healthy cells, and turns off SIRT3
in cancer cells. How incredible, and what a fabulous design! This unique set of
interactions protects healthy cells, keeping them away from cancer, while
<a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3909779/"><b>causing cancer cells to terminate</b></a>.
EGCG is certainly a multi-pathway approach to treat cancer exhibiting unique healing interactions with multiple forms of cancer including
<a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4127621/"><b>breast</b></a>, <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18584482"><b>prostate</b></a>, <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3509513/"><b>colon</b></a>, <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21965273"><b>lung</b></a>, <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23333498"><b>ovarian</b></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and many others.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To further show the benefits of EGCG and EGC for prostate
cancer prevention, an <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16424063"><b>Italian study at the University of Parma</b></a>, Italy gave
flavonoid concentrates to men who tested prone to the risk of prostate cancer.
The men received 200mg of the concentrate 3 times per day for a year. At the
end of the study only one man out of 32 receiving the green tea flavonoid
capsules was diagnosed with prostate cancer, whereas in the control group not
receiving the capsules, 9 out of 30 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When you consider all these benefits, without many of the
egregious side effects of artificial cancer drugs when administered properly,
it certainly makes one think there could be a better way to approach healing
cancer, or at least slow it down. Yet how many men and women in the general
population know the cancer preventative and healing benefits of EGCG from green
tea? Have you ever heard, you should drink green tea, or try EGCG, from your
doctor in relation to cancer? If not officially ‘FDA Approved’ for cancer
prevention and treatment, for many doctors it doesn’t exist. They simply say
(without FDA Approval) there is no proof it works. For our future, and the
health of our society, I believe we need to find a way to further research and
integrate treatments such as this into everyday clinical practice. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In itself, EGCG may not be the cure-all for cancer, though
it most likely will slow it down, and assist healing when used with existing
approved cancer protocols. Considering new research suggests it operates as a
pro-oxidant creating ROS in relation to cancer cells, further research may want
to look at combining it with other natural oxidative treatments such as
Artemisinin or marijuana. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
EGCG may also lesson cancer recurrence rates by effectively reducing
the small amounts of cancer cells left after surgery or radiation. Then too,
there is extensive evidence suggesting EGCG plays a substantial role in cancer
prevention. EGCG presents so many good opportunities to attack cancer. Still it
is also important to remember throughout this discussion, everyone’s unique cancer,
diet, composition, history and metabolism are different. Where some have
received excellent results from EGCG, others have experienced no results
directly attributed to its use for reasons yet unknown.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Aside from the already mentioned healing actions of EGCG,
one unique benefit deserves further exploration. Possibly EGCG’s greatest
benefit comes from its ability to tackle newly developing cancer before the
cancer gets a foothold requiring more drastic treatment. And to my belief,
everyone would agree the sooner a cancer is found, the easier it is to treat
with better results. So how do we find cancer at its earliest stages?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To accomplish this task, I believe we should all be looking
at a newly available test capable of detecting 27 different types of cancer,
and there organ of origin, with a single blood draw including: Prostate,
Bladder, Breast, Cervical, Colorectal, Endometrial, Esophageal, Gastric,
Hepatocellular, Kidney, Leukemia, Non-Small cell, Lung Small cell, Lymphoma,
Melanoma, Mesothelioma, Multiple Myeloma, Myeloma, Ovarian, Pancreatic,
Sarcoma,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Squamous Cell, Thyroid,
Follicular, Uterine, Papillary, Testicular Germ Cell cancers. It accomplishes
this by <a href="http://www.oncoblotlabs.com//wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Cancer%20prevention.pdf"><b>using the ENOX2 protein as a marker</b></a>, and then determining its molecular weight and isoelectric point. The test,
though not infallible, claims a 99.3% reliability for determining cancer(s)
with no false positives, and 96% accuracy in determining the type of, and organ
site, of the cancer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Certainly better results than the
standard PSA test. This <a href="http://www.oncoblotlabs.com/how-it-works/"><b>ONCOblot test</b></a> has been called, “the most sensitive
blood test for cancer available today”. Unfortunately it can’t determine the
stage of the cancer, the amount of the cancer load, or any cancer spread. It
just effectively tells you if you have cancer, or not. Yet when considering
whether to have a biopsy, determining if you have the real possibility of
cancer beforehand is very valuable knowledge. Currently, the ONCOblot test is approved
by the FDA as a ‘Laboratory Developed Test’. Unfortunately, it is not covered
by insurance, as it is too new, and little known by many oncologists. It was
first made available to the public January 2013. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Using this test as a follow-up to the standard PSA test that
so often triggers a biopsy, could save the American public and insurance
companies over $2 Billion per year by dramatically reducing the 750,000
unnecessary negative prostate biopsies. But the real benefit may come from the
millions of lives it could save. You see this test can find cancer even before
major symptoms appear. It detects cancer with as few as 2 million cells, unlike
current mammogram scans that need 4.5 trillion cells to register. And it is at
this cancer infancy stage that EGCG is most effective at eradicating cancer.
Imagine if cancers were found early enough for EGCG, say in the form of
CAPSOL-T® a product combining concentrated EGCG with capsicum powder, or
another green tea product, to heal your cancer without surgery, radiation or
chemotherapy. Could it change your life, and the face of medicine today?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In a cancer prevention trail using CAPSOL-T®, 110 men and
women were tested for the presence of ENOX2 using the ONCOblot process. Forty
four (44) test subjects were found to have the presence of various cancers as
exhibited by positive ONCOblot tests. These were then given CAPSOL-T® for
periods from 3 to 17 months and continually retested for ENOX2 markers. Researchers
found that forty one (41) of the cancer subjects retested no longer showed the
presence of ENOX2 in their systems, <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3901999/"><b>indicating there very early stage cancer gone</b></a>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
CAPSOL-T® is a specialized product readily available in the
U.S. combining concentrated decaffeinated green tea powder in a 25:1 ratio with
capsicum powder otherwise known as red pepper or chili pepper. Each 350mg
CAPSOL-T® capsule has the flavonoid benefits of drinking multiple cups of green
tea with only 1.65mg caffeine per capsule. It is believed the synergy of
concentrated green tea with capsicum increases the bioavailability and healing
qualities many times over. <a href="http://her2support.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=43473"><b>Capsicum</b></a> by itself has been shown to block breast
cancer cell migration and reduce the size of certain tumors <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Those who use CAPSOL-T® are strongly recommended to take it
every four (4) hours around the clock to maximize its effectiveness, <span style="color: black;">along with preventing an EGCG resistance buildup. For those
who want to sleep through the night without interruption, there is a
time-release product available. </span>Structured dosing allows the cancer
cells to be continuously exposed, creating the best possible results. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">According to CAPSOL-T®, <a href="http://www.newcancerresearch.com/discovery.htm"><b>there have been no adverse effects</b></a>, no liver problems, and no lawsuits associated
with CAPSOL-T® use. It has also been stated that CAPSOL-T® is non-toxic at recommended
concentrations due to the many other protective polyphenols in the product. The
manufacturer of CAPSOL-T® confirms it is all-natural and contains only
decaffeinated green tea and capsicum powder, both of which are extremely safe. </span>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>With that said, it is important to know side effects from
using ‘too much’ EGCG and/or green tea could exist. </b><span style="font-weight: normal;">If you have cancer and decide to explore EGCG or CAPSOL-T®, I suggest you
only do it under a doctor’s care who is familiar with the product(s) you are
using. </span><b>Cases of acute liver failure, even death, have been attributed
to taking too much EGCG and/or caffeine.</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
Minor side effects can include excess intestinal gas, nausea, heartburn,
stomachache, abdominal pain, dizziness, nervousness, headache, and muscle pain.
More serious side effects from concentrated EGCG could include vomiting, kidney problems, and moderate
to severe hepatic necrosis (liver failure). For most, these side effects
disappear when EGCG supplementation is stopped. The higher the dose of EGCG,
the more toxic it is to the liver, and a small percentage of people, for as yet
undetermined reasons, appear to be especially susceptible to liver problems.
Interesting to note, when used properly, EGCG has been suggested to <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21837753"><b>prevent Hepatitis C</b></a>, thus protecting the liver. </span><span style="color: #141413; font-family: Helvetica;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Before beginning clinical use of EGCG, there is a discussion you need to have with
your doctor, <b>along with a complete liver panel,</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> prior to beginning any EGCG treatment. And since side effect symptoms
have occurred anywhere from 10 days to 7 months after treatment, it is appropriate
to continue to have your liver checked on a regular basis.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To be wise, start by thinking of EGCG as a cancer drug,
rather than a super safe supplement. Would you blindly start taking a cancer
drug? In reality, considering the millions, possibly billions of people around
the world using green tea and EGCG every day with relatively few if any serious
side effects, EGCG is probably safer that driving your car to the corner store
for a carton of milk. Then consider the newest FDA approved cancer drugs with
their litany of side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, arm swelling,
reduction in blood cells, high blood pressure, decreased hemoglobin, liver
damage, cardiac dysfunction and arterial events, renal failure, thyroid
failure, gastrointestinal perforation etc, and you realize green tea and EGCG
for cancer, when treated with respect under proper supervision, can be
generally considered safe having excellent healing qualities. The majority of
people never experience any side effects. According to the <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19198822"><b>European Journal of Clinical Pharmacology</b></a> between 1999 and 2008 only 34 cases of liver damage were attributed
to EGCG, with one unfortunate death.
By the same token, between 1999 and 2008 there were <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intoxication"><b>9 deaths attributed to drinking too much water</b></a>.
Problems can happen. <b>Everything you put into your mouth has an effect on
your body!</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> Be safe and work with your
doctor for appropriate dosage and proper tests.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Certainly there are <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2905152/"><b>laboratory studies</b></a>
and <a href="http://casereports.bmj.com/content/2015/bcr-2014-208534.abstract"><b>case studies</b></a>
showing doses of EGCG unsafe. <b>There is also a ‘wealth of materials and studies’
showing the remarkable benefits of EGCG with zero to minimal side effects.</b> It
is unfortunate we do not have more studies using EGCG in human trials. The
limited research I have seen for CAPSOL-T® is very promising, and I have heard
of no side effects regarding this product. It is also interesting that several
attorneys are gathering clients for class action suits regarding EGCG and its unregulated
use in weight reduction formulas. Though an excess of EGCG looks to be the
culprit in this legal action, much is still unknown about EGCG’s interactions
with other ingredients, the amounts of caffeine consumed, and/or pesticides and
substances that may have contaminated the weight reduction product or tea.
There obviously needs to be more research.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
From my research, I believe EGCG and EGC from green tea aid
in the process to relieve the burden of cancer. Drinking green tea daily, as a life
choice, appears to provide a strong avenue for cancer prevention. As a
treatment protocol today I would only personally use EGCG as secondary to other
treatments, or as a primary treatment when cancer is found in its earliest
stages. Then I would look at CAPSOL-T®. When used with low-risk early stage non-aggressive prostate cancer, the benefits appear
clear. We also need to make available better use of the ONCOblot test, if not for the
$2 Billion cost reduction, for lives it will save.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Today EGCG is one more of our low cost, orphan cancer
treatments deserving further research and eventual approval by the FDA, especially
when it comes to early cancer treatment and as a supplemental treatment along
side more aggressive protocols. We all deserve further research into EGCG to understand
dosage over time, most effective applications, and greater product refinement.
Imagine relieving a portion of the burden of cancer for pennies a day. With
nearly 12 cancer deaths per minute, we must do<span style="color: black;">
everything possible to cure cancer now. Not just looking at exotic, outrageously
expensive, new drugs. EGCG has earned its place in the list of Proven Natural
Treatments Deserving Research. The time has come for us to take the next step
and explore it further.</span></div>

It’s 2011 researchers in Canberra declare <b>PSP</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">, an extract from Turkey Tail Mushrooms, <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3095629/"><b>100% effective at suppressing prostate cancer stem cells</b></a> in mice. </span><b></b>Many researchers and doctors currently believed cancer stem
cells are responsible for prostate cancer’s initiation and growth. PSP stands
for polysaccharopeptide. Researchers further concluded that dose dependent PSP
was effective at suppressing cancer formation and an agent for preventing
cancer. Additional studies have found with the inclusion of <b>gamma-tocotrienol</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">, a component of Vitamin-E, healing results are
further enhanced. Gamma-tocotrienol appears to work synergistically with PSP by
sensitizing the cancer cells to allow a faster action of PSP. This has led to a
<a href="http://www.biomedcentral.com/1472-6882/14/303"><b>reduction of cancer colonies by as much as 85%</b></a> over a short time.</span><b>
</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">Now realize this work was completed on
mice, though certainly it brings the question as to why there is no immediate
follow-up for human U.S. trials especially considering for decades PSP and PSK
have been official government approved healing drugs in Japan and China for
decades. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Researchers have been looking at turkey tail and
gamma-tocotrienol for many years due to their unique properties. The turkey
tail mushroom, also known as Yun Zhi in traditional Chinese herbal medicine,
Trametes Versicolor, Coriolus Versicolor, Polyporus Versicolor, and Kwaratake
in Japanese medicine has been used throughout Asia for hundreds of years in
soups to boost health and treat serious illness. Derivatives from turkey tail
mushrooms have exhibited immune system enhancement, antimicrobial, antiviral
and mutative cell inhibiting qualities. The two most studied components of
turkey tail are PSK and PSP. PSK is a polysaccharide and PSP is a polysaccharide-peptide.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Both PSK and PSP are known to boost immune cell production,
improve traditional cancer treatments, and relieve symptoms from chemotherapy. <b>Sold
commercially as Krestin in Japan, PSK has been used as a government ‘approved
cancer drug’ since 1977.</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> When used along
with surgery, chemotherapy or radiation it has shown significant improvement in
overall results. Not only does PSK have excellent antioxidant and free radical
scavenging properties, it also inhibits cancer’s spread by reducing adhesion, motility
and cancer cell attachment to blood vessels. Reports have further shown the
restoration of depressed immune systems and enhanced activity of natural killer
cells, T-cells, macrophages and peripheral blood lymphocytes. As an example,
in one <b><a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9252721">1997 study</a></b>, when PSK was used in conjunction with chemotherapy to treat breast cancer
patients, 5 and 10-year survival rates were 100% for PSK treated patients and
only 76% and 55% respectively for those treated with chemotherapy <span style="color: black;">alone. These</span><span style="color: red;"> </span>are
exciting results, and breast cancer has many similar characteristics to
prostate cancer. PSK supplemental treatment appears to be received well with
only a few patients experiencing gastrointestinal upset or some darkening of
the fingernails.</span><span style="font-weight: normal;">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Research has shown that
ingesting PSK in as much as <a href="http://www.hindawi.com/journals/isrn/2012/251632/"><b>9 grams per day</b></a> in Japan is considered safe.</span>
As a bonus it <a href="http://archive.today/jPrsp"><b>does not appear to reduce activity of chemotherapy drugs</b></a> nor cause genetic damage while enhancing the healing process.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>PSP, a Chinese developed medicine, was ‘approved as an
official cancer medicine’ by the Chinese government in 1992/1993. </b><span style="font-weight: normal;">PSP is believed to be more effective than PSK due to
the bonding of a peptide during the extraction process. This allows for easier
and more complete absorption by the body. It’s believed PSP passes through the
intestine and bonds to glucose receptors on lymphocyte macrophages, NK cells
and T-cells. This causes these cells to create disease resistant chemicals like
interferon, interleukins, prostaglandin and other mutation resistant factors.
It also has been shown to stabilize white blood cell count and improve the
overall quality of life for cancer patients. Prostate cancer cells thrive on
glucose, so they also tend to suck up the PSP. Research has shown when PSP
enters cancer cells it down regulates prostate cancer stem cells. Since these
are a foundational factor to cancer’s initiation and progression, targeting
these cancer stem cells is of prime importance. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is also believed that approved conventional therapies do
little to target cancer stem cells, leaving new cancer to grow after initial
treatment. In addition to targeting cancer stem cells, PSP suppressed the
ability of cancer cells to form prostaspheres and inhibited their
tumorgenicity. This puts a halt to the self-renewal and growth process of
cancer.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Both PSK and PSP from turkey tail resemble each other but
are structurally different. PSK comes from a CM-101 strain of turkey tail with
extraction completed using hot water and then a salting out with ammonium
sulfate. PSP originates from a Cov-1 strain of turkey tail using hot water
extraction and then an alcohol <span style="color: black;">precipitation process.
Chemically they are similar, though PSK contains fucose and PSP contains
rhamnose and arabinose.</span><span style="color: maroon;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Now let’s add Gamma or Delta Tocotrienols into the mix.</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> These come from Vitamin-E. There are four
tocopherols and four tocotrienols in Vitamin-E, each divided into four
components labeled Alpha, Beta, Delta and Gamma. Both tocopherol and
tocotrienol molecules are similar shaped but the tocotrienols have smaller
heads, shorter tails and a higher electron density. This makes them incredibly
more effective and faster at bonding with cell membranes. In addition
researchers have found tocotrienols to be 40 to 60 times more effective as
antioxidants than tocopherols. Natural sources for varying amounts of
tocotrienol and tocopherol include rye, amaranth</span><b>, </b><span style="font-weight: normal;">barley</span><b>, </b><span style="font-weight: normal;">rice
bran, ancient wheat, palm fruit, annatto,</span><b> </b><span style="font-weight: normal;">walnuts, hazelnuts, poppy, safflower, maize, and the seeds of flax,
grape, and pumpkin. The three sources most used for supplements are rice bran,
palm fruit and annatto. Rice and palm have approximately 25% and 50% tocotrienols
respectively with a lot of tocopherols. Only annatto provides a high source of
tocotrienols without the tocopherols. Annatto is approximately 90%
delta-tocotrienol and 10% gamma-tocotrienol. So why is this important?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Studies have shown tocopherol found abundantly in most
Vitamin-E products may interfere with the healing activity to tocotrienol.</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> It’s like one component is racing around to treat
your cancer while the other is putting on the brakes. During a University of Wisconsin
study, researchers looking at the ability of combined tocotrienol and
tocopherol to reduce cholesterol found a general 10% to 22% improvement. But
when they put a non-responsive group of subjects on only delta and gamma
tocotrienols after just 4 weeks they witnessed a 35% to 40% drop in their
cholesterol. </span><b>From their research they determined delta- and
gamma-tocotrienols exhibited the highest health benefits of all the eight forms
of Vitamin-E.</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> Further research has gone on
to support similar findings leading to the suggestion to not take supplements
with tocopherols within six hours of supplementing with high tocotrienols. This
suggestion can be extremely difficult, as most supplement manufacturers love to
combine all tocopherols and tocotrienols in one gel cap. Another source
suggested taking multi-vitamins with mixed component Vitamin-E in the morning,
and high source tocotrienols in the evening with dinner, so they peak in the
blood about the same time cholesterol production peaks. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then there is the problem with ‘Synthetic’ Alpha Tocopherol
also on the market. Vitamin-E actually received a bad report not too long ago
when a study found synthetic alpha tocopherol may increase prostate cancer, and
the results were generalized to Vitamin-E. The problem was, most medical
professionals didn’t take into account the difference between synthetic and
natural products, and the fact that synthetic alpha tocopherol was used in the
study without gamma tocopherol to compensate. With all this said, the main point
to remember is that natural delta- and gamma-tocotrienols are believed to be
the most effective components of Vitamin-E when used to treat cancer.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As a cancer killer, delta- and gamma-tocotrienols have
showed interesting results. One of their greatest benefits is the ability to
provide a multi-targeted approach. Some believe cancer cells are created
because of the malfunction of numerous genes and signaling pathways. This is
why drugs, designed to only interact with a single gene of pathway like docetaxel,
eventually fail. Though the designer drug may address one small issue, the
cancer is left with multiple workarounds. <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3250528/"><b>Tocotrienols on the other hand have been found to be multi-interactive</b></a>. They target the COX2, EGFR, TNK, HER2,
bct-abl and VEGF pathways along with inhibiting transcription factors, enzymes,
growth factors, receptors, kinases and anti-apoptotic proteins.
One of the more interesting ways that tocotrienols stop cancer is through an
anti-angiogenesis process. Tumor cells need abundant nutrition for all their
growth. Through angiogenesis they create more blood vessels to supply their
food. Tocotrienols are believed to slow, even stop this process, thereby
putting cancer on a starvation diet while preventing further growth.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then there’s the unique ability gamma-tocotrienol has to
down regulate, essentially kill, cancer stem cells (CSC’s). Studies have shown
a limited number of cancer stem cells exist within many cancer colonies. They
are considered to be the leaders, or the ones in charge. These cells are
tenacious, with excellent survival and tumor initiating characteristics. In
fact they are so tough that radiation and chemotherapy often leave them behind
to development new cancer years after initial treatment. Gamma-tocotrienol has
been found to <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20617516"><b>effectively deal with these cancer stem cells</b></a>, and when paired
with other forms of chemotherapy act as a <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19002171"><b>chemo-sensitizing agent</b></a> for further
cancer stem cell destruction.<a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20617516"></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bottom line, tocotrienols work on cancer at a multitude of
different levels to induce cancer’s demise<b>. Long-term consumption of
tocotrienols has been linked to reduce risks of prostate, skin, and breast
cancer, with delta- and gamma-tocotrienols having the best results.</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> For a healthy person, a preventative dose of 50mg
to 100mg per day has been suggested. For those with cancer some suggest 300mg
to 400mg per day though there are no confirming studies. When deciding on which
source of tocotrienols to take there are a few important considerations. Most
important, the good effects of tocotrienols are reduced by the more tocopherols
come with it. So learn to read labels for the highest source of tocotrienols
and the lowest amount of tocopherols. If tocopherols are more than 50% of the
ingredients, the product may not be right for you. Second, only purchase
natural sourced products. There were some ‘synthetic’ alpha-tocopherols used in
a clinical trial that severely depleted gamma-tocopherol and caused DNA damage
resulting in cancer from reactive nitrogen. This is started an anti
alpha-tocopherol and Vitamin-E movement. Much of this research has been
questioned. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You may be wondering with the extensive history of positive
results and research studies regarding the use of turkey tail and tocotrienols
to treat disease and cancer, why the U.S. is not all over researching the
benefits of PSP, PSK and gamma-tocotrienol. Could it be the FDA believes humans
in Japan and China, having government approved cancer-healing benefits from PSK
and PSP over 38 and 22 years respectively, are fundamentally different from
humans in the U.S.? More likely, it is because the U.S. is a wealth-reward
driven society and there’s no money in it. PSP, PSK and tocotrienol are not
newly patentable, cheep to produce, so there’s no money for the massive double
blind studies the FDA requires regarding treatment approval. They are widely
used already as natural healing substances, even as doctor delivered medicines
outside the U.S. Then too, the FDA is not in the business of finding cures for
cancer, their job is to regulate, approve or reject U.S. research. And there’s
the issue, finding a natural inexpensive cure for cancer would put so many
people including doctors out of work, and businesses out of existence. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In 2012 the FDA did approve a $5.4 million Trial of Turkey
Tail Mushroom by Bastyr University together with the University of Washington
and others, for advanced prostate cancer in conjunction with chemotherapy. I
understand the product to be tested was a <a href="http://www.hostdefense.com/functional-food/the-proper-delivery-methods"><b>hot water and alcohol extraction of turkey tail from Host Defense</b></a>.
The Trial was to begin in 2013<span style="color: black;">. Last I heard this
Trial was cancelled due to lack of participants, puzzling considering there are
over 220,800 new U.S. cases of prostate cancer each year, and over 27,500
Americans who annually die of this terrible disease. Or could it be a reflection
on the general medical community’s resistance to change, or their lack of
knowledge concerning the benefit of alternative treatments beyond their
specialty? <b><a href="http://www.science20.com/news_articles/why_do_so_few_want_to_be_in_cancer_clinical_trials-162710">Did you know one in four Cancer Trials fails to enroll enough participants?</a></b></span><span style="color: black;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span> And that cancer patients who
participate in Clinical Trials experience better outcomes than patients who do
not. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;">Clinical Trials occur all the
time, but when was the last time as a cancer patient you heard about a Trial
from your doctor? Many doctors rarely follow-up on postings that come across
their desks for Clinical Trials, they are already swamped and overworked with
patients. Often doctors are little aware of a Trial’s existence, unless the
Trial is directly related to their specialized field. Most likely you will need
to seek out these beneficial Trials on your own, or maybe you will happen to
see a sheet of information about a Clinical Trial posted on a bulletin board in
some obscure location such as the restroom. Public lack of Clinical Trial
information is a travesty, and clearly another contributing factor hampering
the cure for cancer. We could be doing such a better job posting Clinical Trial
information, and doctors could easily provide more information and support for
their clients. Then again, with all the research and results from China and

All this brings into question our medical approval system,

Should this article inspire you to look for PSK or PSP on
your own, be careful, as what you see on a general internet search may not
provide the results you seek. Many mushroom products available online,
including some labeled as turkey tail, PSK, or PSP, are merely a form of ground
up dried mushrooms. Regarding these, what you need to know is, mushrooms
naturally grow with a cell wall made of chitin. This is an exoskeleton, much like
a crab or lobster, to support the thin walls of the mushroom. This chitin is
indigestible, so eating mushrooms not properly processed will only provide
fiber and basic nutrients with little of the desired medical benefit. Hot water
and secondary extraction is the only proven method to break down this chitin
releasing the desired polysaccharide structurally intact. Therefore when
seeking PSK or PSP, be sure it is a properly processed bio-available product
using a multi-step process including hot water extraction.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span></div>

best source of tocotrienol I have discovered is made from the annatto plant
found in South America. For around 150 years the seeds of this plant were used
to make food coloring. Then in the late 1990’s, high amounts of near pure
tocotrienols were discovered from the seeds. It is from this plant that
<a href="http://americanrivernutrition.com/products"><b>DeltaGold® Tocotrienol</b></a> is produced and currently sold through multiple distributors.
Unfortunately there is not a good source of naturally pure gamma-tocotrienol,
as yet. More research needs to be completed with additional sources and better
processing. For now, DeltaGold® appears to be the best combination of gamma-

survivor in Australia, relaying a story about a man who believed his prostate cancer
cured with the use of a Glucosamine and Chondroitin supplement.</b> Seems he discovered
this process when he heard men in retirement homes given glucosamine and chondroitin
to improve their joint mobility for exercise, found their PSA going down. Since
he was experiencing a failed prostatectomy, he was open to alternative options
rather than the next step of radiation. He asked his doctor about it who said,
it couldn’t hurt, so he gave it a try. According to the story he began taking
10 caps per day, though I do not currently know the true dosage or length of time
taken. He said after taking the glucosamine with chondroitin, his tests showed
a much lower PSA than normal, with no need for further treatment. The story
goes on to say other men he has shared this information with, have also
received improved results with a much lower PSA. To date I have not been able
to verify this story first hand, though it opened to question these supplements
in relation to prostate cancer and their potential benefit.
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>I began to wonder why this appeared to help cancer patients</b>,
and completed some preliminary research on the subject. It appears chondroitin
is NOT recommended for men with PCa based on a limited 2002 study that found
men who had a prostatectomy with high levels of chondroitin experienced a 47%
chance of recurrence, whereas men with low levels of chondroitin only experienced
a 14% chance of recurrence. Many medical institutions are now saying that
<b>chondroitin may cause the spread or recurrence of prostate cancer</b>, though research
is minimal, and there is no definitive research for the specific substance
‘chondroitin sulfate’. So until more information and testing are done on
chondroitin, why take the risk?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On the other hand, I found <b>very promising results for Glucosamine</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> in relation to prostate cancer. Research has
confirmed that dose dependent glucosamine <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3203238/"><b>inhibits the growth and spread of certain forms of prostate cancer</b></a>, and <a href="http://cancerci.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1475-2867-9-25"><b>causes cancer’s death</b></a>. There have been
some excellent studies on how glucosamine fights cancer and the <a href="http://www.nature.com/emm/journal/v43/n9/full/emm201155a.html"><b>mechanisms it employs</b></a>.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3970565033282960478#_edn3" name="_ednref3" style="mso-endnote-id: edn3;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"></span></span></a></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I also discovered glucosamine to be very good at <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25719429"><b>reducing the level of C-Reactive Protein</b></a> (CRP).<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3970565033282960478#_edn4" name="_ednref4" style="mso-endnote-id: edn4;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"></span></span></a>
Considering how increased CRP is believed to facilitate cancer’s occurrence and
growth, this in itself could be worthwhile. In addition, glucosamine is a well-known
antioxidant, so it can be paired with tocotrienols that also fight cancer and
reduce CRP such as delta and gamma-tocotrienols in the form of <a href="http://americanrivernutrition.com/products"><b>DeltaGold®</b></a>,<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3970565033282960478#_edn5" name="_ednref5" style="mso-endnote-id: edn5;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"></span></span></a>
and <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3901999/"><b>EGCG therapy</b></a> in such forms as <a href="http://securehost.arealink.com/capsol-t/howitworks.htm"><b>CAPSOL-T</b></a>®<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3970565033282960478#_edn6" name="_ednref6" style="mso-endnote-id: edn6;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"></span></span></a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3970565033282960478#_edn7" name="_ednref7" style="mso-endnote-id: edn7;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"></span></span></a>.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Supplementing with Glucosamine is considered safe, though in
limited instances, mild side effects of nausea, heartburn, diarrhea or
constipation have occurred pending on the dose. Most glucosamine is made from
shellfish though there is a vegan form available. If you have an allergy to
shellfish, you will want to seek medical advise before taking. If you
experience any side effects, it is best to reduce the dose and consult your
medical professional.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To me, the available research brings up some impressive
results for glucosamine in relation to prostate cancer. I now wonder if this is
the principal agent that had been helping retirement patients in the story reduce their PSA, regardless of the potentially negative chondroitin action? Hearing
that several men have had very positive results using a glucosamine/chondroitin
mix is wonderful news; though I believe glucosamine alone may be more effective,
and without future risk of recurrence. For someone concerned with prostate
cancer glucosamine may be an excellent supplement, though it is unfortunate
that glucosamine and chondroitin are so often linked together. At present it is
possible to obtain glucosamine by itself from several sources, or with the
addition of MSM. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is a naturally occurring sulfur
compound. It is present and necessary for health in all people. It has been
principally used for joint health and to reduce inflammation, though it does so
much more. It promotes healthy circulation, cleanses the digestive tract,
improves liver function, boosts metabolism, helps produce glutathione, and
reduces toxic impurities in the body. It also improves cell wall permeability
allowing for greater oxygen to enter, a process believed detrimental to cancer
cells. Sulfur is so important to our bodies that daily we eat many foods containing
sulfur including: meat, fish, fruits, vegetables and grains. Unfortunately
processed, overcooked and dried foods have their sulfur content greatly reduced,
making sulfur supplementation sometimes necessary. Suggested supplement amounts
range from 1,000mg to 4,000mg daily. Supplementing with MSM is considered very
safe but if one’s stool becomes too loose, a reduction of dosage is suggested.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With this said Glucosamine with MSM certainly appear to be an
interesting possibility for future research to mitigate prostate cancer and
lower CRP. As always should you look into these supplements I recommend you
have a discussion with your doctor or naturopath concerning their use, the
dosage, and overall time employed.</div>

U.S. government, have acknowledged this as fact. Unfortunately, due to previous
controlled substance restrictions, necessary testing hasn’t been done to
confirm its full curative power, principal healing components, or most
effective dosage. For much of that, we unfortunately rely on unverified
anecdotal stories and limited laboratory studies. Even with a <b><a href="http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/pdq/cam/cannabis/healthprofessional/page4">Federal Report</a>
</b>clearly linking cannabinoids found in cannabis to cancer cell death,
retardation of cell growth, and reduction of metastasis that reduce the growth
and spread of cancer, we are still in the dark. By the way, this report also
suggests when cannabis is used with various forms of chemotherapy; it increases
the cancer drug’s uptake, heightening the effectiveness of chemotherapy cancer
treatment.
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Cannabis is certainly complex. There are over 85 unique
cannabinoids found in cannabis. When cannabis is ingested these cannabinoids
travel through the blood to eventually lock onto many different cannabinoid
protein receptors on the surface of cells. Some of these receptors are
classified as CB1, CB2, and a family of receptors known as GPR. CB1 receptors
are more abundant throughout the nervous system. CB2 receptors are mostly in
the immune system. CB1 and CB2 receptors are also found on cancer cells
assisting with regulation of cell death and growth. And a combined receptor
composed of linked CB2R with GPR55 is even more abundant on cancer cells<span style="color: red;">.</span> Because of the nature of cancer, when cannabinoids
lock onto cancer cells the reaction is considerably different than when they
lock onto healthy cell receptors. Cancer cells have far more receptors than
healthy cells and have a different reaction to the THC and CBD than healthy
cells. Essentially the cannabis while killing cancer cells leave healthy cells
unaffected.<span style="color: red;"> </span>For our purpose here we are focusing
principally on two cannabinoids, THC and CBD. This in no way implies other
cannabinoids do not play a part in the healing process. It’s just not yet
understood, needing further research. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
THC is the substance that gets you high when you smoke,
drink, or eat cannabis, marijuana, or ‘pot’. If you grew up in the 60’s you may
understand this process all too well. <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16258846"><b>THC is also one of the principal ingredients in cannabis that kills cancer.</b></a> When activated, it easily attaches
to cancer cells via cannabinoid receptors. This process generates a ceramide, a
lipid molecule, disrupting the mitochondria, shutting down the cell’s energy flow. As a result, the mitochondria release ctochrome-c<span style="color: black;">, a protein that catalyzes reactions, and ROS (reactive
oxygen species) into the cytosol</span>, the fluid found in each cell.
Additionally the calcium chemical process in the mitochondria is further
damaged. These actions cause the cancer cell to die. So largely THC works on an
oxidative process within cancer cells. For this reason it is important to
reduce the amount of antioxidants ingested during cannabis treatment, and <span style="color: black;"><b>be especially careful of any large amount of antioxidant
food or supplements within 6-hours before or 4-hours after a cannabis
application.</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
CBD on the other hand operates differently. When it locks
onto the cancer cell it disrupts the endoplasmic reticulum that facilitates
transportation of proteins within the cancer cell by destroying the calcium
functional process of the cell. This causes calcium to flow into the cytosol
causing cell death. In addition, it facilitates the break down of proteins and
peptides in cancer cells, again causing their death.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Together THC and CBD found in cannabis deal cancer a one-two
punch. Limited research has shown THC effective at killing cancer cells and CBD
not only assisting with the death of cancer cells but especially effective at
stopping metastasis. In the lab, cannabinoids have been found to stop cancer
cells from dividing, to prevent new blood vessel growth supplying tumors,<span style="color: black;"> and accelerating cancer’s own waste disposal process,
called autophage, which also assists in cancer cell death.</span> Bay area
researchers <a href="http://blogs.ocweekly.com/navelgazing/2013/04/bay_area_researchers_claim_can.php"><b>McAllister and Desprez</b></a> recently confirmed cannabis inhibits
cancer’s progress keeping it from metastasizing.<b> </b>In addition when used together, CBD assists to mildly <a href="http://www.leafscience.com/2014/02/23/5-must-know-facts-cannabidiol-cbd/"><b>reduce the ‘getting high’ effects</b></a> of THC making the entire treatment process a bit easier. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Without doubt, cannabis contains many interesting and
healing properties. In addition to arresting cancer, it has been linked with
reduced inflammation and seizures, moderating stomach issues, reducing anxiety,
depression and psychosis, and helping to resolve neurodegenerative disorders.
With all of these benefits many have jumped on the bandwagon offering Internet
promotions for CBD oil; yet cannabis is still illegal throughout much of the
U.S., so what are they really promoting? Unfortunately, what they’re offering
on the Internet will be of little use to cancer patients. You see there are two
forms of CBD oil, one made from cannabis, the other made from legal commercial
hemp. Though in essence the same plant family, they are far different products.
So be very careful in what you buy. Commercial hemp oil, also sometimes sold as
CBD oil, actually contains very little beneficial CBD, only 25 parts per
million; whereas cannabis CBD oil has naturally occurring CBD at around 150,000
parts per million. You will not receive the benefits you need from commercial
hemp oil. Also products sold on the street labeled CBD oil or Rick Simpson Oil
may include unknown ingredients, may have reduced potency, or have been
manufactured in such a way to compromise the healing properties of the
cannabis. For prostate cancer you need the highest quality of purified
activated THC and CBD, preferably in a one to one ratio. So where can you find
these products in the safest possible manner?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You could start by obtaining a legal medical card if you
reside in any one of the <a href="http://medicalmarijuana.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=000881"><b>23 U.S. States and Washington, DC now approving medical marijuana use</b></a>.
And the list just keeps growing. This has the benefits of providing cannabis in
the most standardized form and quality, with the lowest possible price. Most
states only require residency along with a valid medical examination or
consultation, and proof you have a condition that will benefit from cannabis
treatment. Cancer usually tops their list. When going to this appointment, be
sure to bring your cancer documentation such as lab tests, scans, and biopsy
reports. After the exam, you’ll be issued a medical marijuana card or
certificate to take to a licensed dispensary of your choice. There you will be
able to purchase product for treatment. Of course if you’re fortunate to live
in Colorado or Washington State where recreational marijuana is now legal, you
have the benefit of being able to go to the store for purchase, though the
specific product you want may not be carried in their inventory. You’ll also
find this retail process more expensive and technically you’ll still need to be
a state resident. You know, if it came down to it and you really wanted to try
cannabis for your cancer, I would not hesitate to move to a state where medical
or recreational forms are legal. It keeps you safe, and legal, for the 3-4
months of self-treatment, and it’s a lot less costly with fewer side effects
than many accepted cancer treatments. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When purchasing product you want to look for THC and CBD oil
combined in roughly a One to One Ratio. Most often attaining this ratio will
require combining two or three products. Many of these products, looking like
black or amber goo, come in tubes, or small syringes without the needle.
They’re sold as CBD Oil, Rick Simpson Oil (RSO), or possibly a CO2 extracted
oil. When first looking for acceptable product, you’ll find that the ratios of
THC to CBD vary greatly from location to location, and product to product. Pay
particular attention to ‘fully tested and certified’ product. Before purchasing
any product, you need to know the following:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1) What are the percentages of THC and CBD per gram of
product?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2) What are the percentages of <b>Activated</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> THC and </span><b>Activated</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> CBD?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2) Are there any solvent residues present?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4) Are there any traces of foreign material and microbial
contaminants present?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Presently a typical product selection may include tested
results such as these:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Product A) High CBD oil: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
15.34% Total THC, 59.98% Total CBD, with Total Activated
Cannabinoids 61.93%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Product B) High THC RSO oil: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
81.26% Total THC, 0.24% Total CBD, with Total Activated
Cannabinoids 85.40%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Let’s take a look at how these numbers affect your THC and
CBD mixing ratio. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In 1 gram of our example High CBD oil there is:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>1,000mg
X 15.34% = 153.40mg THC</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>1,000mg
X 59.98% = 599.80mg CBD</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>This
equals a THC/CBD ratio of 1 to 3.91 roughly 1:4</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"></span>Total
Activated Cannabinoids in Product-A are listed as = 61.93% of total volume and
are in a roughly 1 to 4 ratio. These include all cannabinoids in the product,
not just THC and CBD though these are the principal components. Now remember,
we are looking for a close 1 to 1 ratio of activated THC and CBD. Thus we need
to add some High THC oil into the mix.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Next, in one gram of the example High THC oil there is:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>1,000mg
X 81.26% = 812.6mg THC</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>1,000mg
X 0.24% = 2.4mg CBD</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>This
equals a THC/CBD ratio of approximately 339 to 1</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Total
Activated Cannabinoids in Product B are listed as = 85.40%</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Given the THC and CBD numbers in One Gram of Product-A,
for a 1-gram daily dose using these products, I might suggest combining
approximately 2/3 gram of Product-A and 1/3 gram of Product-B. </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This process becomes further complicated when the activated
Cannabinoids total much less than total THC and CBD, as <b>activated
cannabinoids are required for effective</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
treatment.</span><b> </b><span style="font-weight: normal;">You can see why
having reliable test results and proper labeling of cannabis products is so
important. Without product test results, you are only guessing. Can you treat
without knowing the numbers, possibly… but most likely not in a successful manner.
At this time researchers and doctors tend to agree that keeping your activated
THC and activated CBD ratios balanced will provide the best possible results.
It may take you some time to find the best product(s). Just keep asking
questions, and if one <span style="color: black;">outlet is unable provide you
with a verifiable breakdown of their product’s components, go somewhere else!</span><span style="color: red;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As a last resort you could make your own product by
purchasing unprocessed marijuana and cooking it. There are several strains of
marijuana that have been breed for different purposes. Some strains have almost
breed out all the CBD in favor of higher THC. For treatment, you will be
looking for an Indica Strain, not Sativa, with balanced CBD and THC. Using this
product you might try making your own hash-oil, which is a very dangerous
process when done improperly. This process is not only toxic, but has caused fires
and explosions when performed in a confined space. Besides it stinks, and the
neighbors will quickly come to the realization what you’re doing. The person
who pioneered this process, and popularized treatment of cancer with cannabis,
is Rick Simpson. His story and his hash-oil process may be found on the web at <a href="http://phoenixtears.ca/"><b>PhoenixTears</b></a>. But because
of the dangers of this extraction process, I do not recommend it. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;">Recently, a less volatile home
based process has been added to create product for treatment. Again you start
with the raw marijuana but then you process it with coconut oil over low heat
(180 degrees F) for around 11+ hours. This forms a cannabis paste. Since no
volatile solvents are involved, the entire process is much safer. Of course,
with this process you will still need to pay for your own finished product
testing that in itself will be costly in small batches, both in terms of
dollars and consuming available product. Full testing can run over $200, and
consume from 2-4 grams of finished product. Not an expense an individual user
wants to undertake. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;">Because of this, my preference
would be to legally buy your finished, fully tested, product from a reliable
source. But if that’s just not possible, here is one cannabis paste process:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;">Start with at least 4-8 grams of
Buds that have been properly tested so you know the ratio of CBD to THC. Spread
these on a cookie sheet and dry them in the oven at low temperature (180º F)
for 1-2 hours. When sufficiently dried, remove and blend the cooled Bud into a
fine powder mixture in an electric coffee grinder, or similar product. Then in
a double boiler on the stovetop, like you would use for melting chocolate,
cover the powder with roughly an equal volume of melted coconut oil. Heat slowly
on a ‘low’ temperature of 180º F to 200º F for at least 11 hours. Check
temperature of this mixture with a thermometer often during the process. After
cooling have resultant paste tested for mixture ratio and percent of activated
product. If you think this sounds like a lengthy process, you’re right. It’s
also a mess to clean up, and it stinks. So once again, it’s best to seek out
legal pre-made product that’s been properly tested. More about this cannabis
paste process is available online.</span><span style="color: red;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Why does one desire heated marijuana for treatment? It’s to
convert it into an effective product for the body to use. Raw unprocessed
cannabis contains mostly THCA; this simply doesn’t fit effectively into the CB1
receptor. The same applies to CBD. When properly heated during the process to convert
CBD and THC, the heat causes a carboxyl group to be removed thus creating
active THC and active CBD. The process is called <b>decarboxylation</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">. It’s best done at low temperatures over time preventing
destruction of cannabinoids and terpenes in the cannabis. This new Activated
THC and CBD will now fit perfectly into the CB1 receptors on cancer cells.
Regardless if you are using RSO Oil, Cannabis Paste, CO2 Extracted Oil or CBD Oil,
the extraction process requires heat over time to decarboxylate and activate
the finished product. The problem becomes at what temperature. Too high a heat
will destroy the beneficial properties of the cannabis, while too little will
not decarboxylate the THCA and CBDA. Biochemist Dennis Hill, who states he
successfully treated his Stage 4 prostate cancer with cannabis, suggests the
optimal heat is 240 degrees F for 30 to 45 minutes. Heat may also be applied at
lower temperatures for a longer time creating the same results, such as in the
long processing time of cannabis paste.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
Once you have tested product, active THC and CBD, treatment
begins. No precise scientific proven dosage recommendations exist. Rick Simpson
suggests working your dosage of Rick Simpson Oil gradually up over time to
ultimately reach one (1) gram per day for a total of 60 days. Biochemist <a href="https://patients4medicalmarijuana.wordpress.com/2012/10/23/biochemist-who-cured-his-stage-4-prostate-cancer-with-cannabis-oil-explains-how-it-works/"><b>Dennis Hill</b></a> having declared he cured his Stage 4 Prostate Cancer using
Rick Simpson Oil, suggests simply taking as much as possible in the evening
before bed, then smaller amounts during the day. After 6-months of treatment,
Mr. Hill’s biopsy confirmed his cancer was gone. Now to assure it doesn’t
return he states he takes a maintenance dose at much lower potency with
balanced activated THC and CBD.

If you have decided this may be a path to try, above all
else remember, THC will make you high, possibly impairing reflexes and
judgment. Do not plan on normal activity levels during the course of treatment,
and never, ever, put those around you at risk when ‘buzzed’ on THC. Remember this
is an experimental cancer treatment, be responsible!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Little has been written about the debilitating effects of
short term high-dose cannabis treatments. When taken orally in high doses, you
may find yourself unable to function at the most basic tasks. Even a trip to
the bathroom can be challenging and difficult to navigate. This is because
around half of the ‘oral’ THC is converted in the liver into a strong psychoactive
metabolite called 11-Hydroxy-Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol that gets you incredibly
‘high’. Immediate side effects of treating orally with THC include sensory
distortion, poor coordination, slower reaction time, lowered blood pressure
that may cause fainting, and possible panic or anxiety. There is also the
possibility your heart may speed up during the process so be sure to have it
checked prior to treatment, and find a doctor who understands cannabis follow
your progress. After the initial high, many feel sleepy or even depressed.
Suggested long-term side effects could include suppression of the immune
system, sexual difficulties, mood changes, and the inability to properly
reason. These long-term side effects have been witnessed after years of cannabis
self-indulgence, therefore the few months of cancer treatment will most likely
not be an issue. Still everyone is biologically different, so beware. Needless
to say the side effects most often experienced are far less than those from
many standard medical treatments for cancer.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One last note regarding possible side effects and withdrawal
symptoms, when taking 1 gram of cannabis per day your body will become attuned
to the cannabis. If you quickly stop the treatment, withdrawal symptoms will
occur. These could include night sweats, interrupted sleep, vivid dreams, and
general flu-like symptoms. Symptoms usually last for 3-5 days, gradually
tapering off. To avoid withdrawal, the best process is to lower your cannabis
dosage very slowly over several weeks time, and be sure to contact your doctor
if symptoms persist.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You may also want to discuss with your doctor using
Citicoline during cannabis treatment and/or at withdrawal. This is a readily
available supplement in the U.S. with a reasonable safety track record. Most
common side effects for large doses include stomach upset and diarrhea. Some
believe it can be used during treatment to mitigate the side effects of THC
psychoactivity reducing such side effects as paranoia and anxiety, while
improving focus and mental energy. This is believed to allow for a quicker
dosage ramp-up and easier withdrawal. The suggested use during treatment is to
take 250-500mg one hour before a cannabis dose. More research on this product
and dosage needs to be done. Citicoline facilitates production of
phosphatidylcholine a chemical important for brain function. It may also
protect against brain tissue damage, improve visual function, increase brain
glucose metabolism, increase dopamine receptors, and prevent memory impairment.
Again, few studies have been completed regarding this product and cannabis
though it has been used for many years. A June <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4139283/"><b>2014 review of literature regarding Citicoline</b></a> concludes that it is considered neuroprotective against
the neurotoxic effects of drug use thereby reducing withdrawal symptoms.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Having said all this, there may be a way to avoid the
extreme debilitating highs when using cannabis while possibly improving cannabis
absorption. Though more testing is needed, the solution appears to be through <b>rectal
administration</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> using available, or
homemade suppositories, or 1CC slip or soft tip syringes (without needle) with
RSO or CO2 extracted oils. Using this method, the THC and CBD </span><b>avoid
the digestive track and liver</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">, and travel
into the body through the vena cava allowing for much better bioavailability,
higher blood concentrations that begin sooner and last longer, and fewer psychoactive
side effects. Suppository molds, and 1CC slip tip syringes are easily available
through Amazon.com. Those who make their own suppositories often use cocoa
butter as a carrier as it is solid at room temperature, melts in the body, and
is generally soothing and non-irritating. </span><b>If you are fortunate enough
to live in Colorado, there already exist legal outlets where properly tested
cannabis suppositories are available, along with medical doctors who will
provide advise regarding their use.</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In addition to the potential healing properties of THC and
CBD, positive side effects of using suppositories in this manner include reduction
of hemorrhoids and rectal inflammation, and you are able to function much
better on a day-to-day basis during treatment.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Making cannabis suppositories at home is relatively easy,
especially with single-use suppository molds available online. Start with a
ratio of 10 grams of cocoa butter to 1-2 grams of activated cannabis oil. After
doing your calculations regarding percent of activated THC and CBD for each
product, you will know what amounts of THC and CBD to combine to achieve the
nearest 50/50 ratio of THC and CBD. Cocoa butter is also available online, or
from any good chocolate store. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now use very low heat to slowly melt the cocoa butter. Be
careful not to burn the oil. Using a double boiler often used to melt chocolate
is recommended. Then add the cannabis oil and stir thoroughly until evenly
distributed and mixed. This may take some time. Once mixed, pour the warm fluid
into the suppository molds, and set aside to harden. You can facilitate this
process by placing the filled molds in the refrigerator or freezer. These
low-dose suppositories are now ready for use. As you continue to use the
cannabis, gradually increase the amount of activated THC and CBD in the
suppositories over time. Your goal is to reach a point where your have 1 gram
of a 50/50 THC and CBD blend in each suppository with at least 70-80% activated
product. Once this is reached, continue with application for two months and
then test your cancer markers. During this treatment time, pay particular
attention to staying hydrated. Drink extra water and electrolytes to prevent
rectal dehydration that tends to reduce rectal absorption. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Throughout this section, I have repeatedly written about
using properly tested legal product. With each State creating individual
diverse laws for the legalization of medical marijuana, there is much to be
desired concerning the quality of available product. In some instances, even
with purchasing product from a legal source, you may not receive what’s
advertised, or even have available the product you need.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For example, buying product in Washington State at this
writing is a bit like buying products in the Old West out of a covered wagon
that just pulled into town. Medical marijuana outlets range the gamut from
sleazy dives to clean well-run medical facilities. Within each of these
facilities, the greater abundance of product is without test results, and staff
often has minimal product knowledge. Then when the marijuana does include some
published ingredient information on the packaging, the information may not be
complete or there is little backup documentation. That’s right, the product may
be labeled for THC, and or CBD percentage, but does not come with the test
report verifying the printed information, percent of ‘activated’ product, or if
there are residual solvents or biological contaminates. Instead the purchaser
often hears, “trust me, others are getting good results”. Even finding product
can be a problem. Most dispensaries of medical marijuana have little high quality
CBD available. You see much of the available plants are now genetically grown
to enhance THC, not CBD. For cancer patients, this is a continuous issue. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then there is the secret shopper <a href="http://www.sfreporter.com/santafe/article-8751-rx-test.html"><b>Report from New Mexico</b></a>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A neuropathy patient, working with
a local newspaper and testing lab, purchased 14 cannabis products from shops in
the Santa Fee and Albuquerque areas. What they discovered was disappointing.
While some products tested as advertised for quantities of THC and CBD, many
only contained 10% to 50% of labeled quantities. This is a clear case where
patients in need were being sold substandard product. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What can be done about these deficiencies and abuse? Until
we have Federal approval and uniform product regulation, patients should refuse
to purchase any product without full test reports openly available. Further, I
believe States that provide approval for medical marijuana need to setup their
own ‘secret shopper’ random testing program with large fines for any licensed
retailer selling substandard, untested product to medical marijuana patients.
Fines and licensing fees could easily cover the cost of shoppers, product purchase,
and testing. Clearly the system to date is not perfect, though I believe we are
headed in the right direction, and medical marijuana does appear to be getting
results. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Does cannabis work to cure cancer or put it into remission?
You be the judge. Cancer cure rates are largely unknown; to our disgrace as yet
no major patient studies have been completed, though excellent results have
been obtained in smaller clinical trials and laboratory settings. All you can
do now is read as many smaller studies and personal stories as possible, both
the good and the bad, then make your own decision. The good news is the choice
is yours. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Laboratory studies have been promising. So much so that one
recent <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22594963"><b>2013 study clearly supports full clinical testing of CBD</b></a> for treating
prostate cancer.
<a href="http://thenationalmarijuananews.com/2015/10/20-medical-studies-that-show-cannabis-kills-cancer/"><b>From around the world</b></a> there are many medical studies that support the use of cannabis to treat cancer in many of its forms including
brain cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, blood cancer, oral
cancer, and pancreatic cancer. A <a href="http://www.nature.com/bjc/journal/v95/n2/abs/6603236a.html"><b>2006 study with patients suffering from glioblastoma multiforme</b></a> who previously experienced failed treatment with

severity of lung cancer metastases.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A 2008 study by <a href="http://www.nature.com/onc/journal/v27/n3/abs/1210641a.html"><b>Harvard Medical Schoolfound that THC inhibited lung cancer cell migration</b></a>, and recommended that it be
explored to control growth and metastasis of various cancers. A Swedish 2006 study confirmed that cannabinoids kill mantle cell lymphoma.
Another study relating to oral tumors showed <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20516734"><b>cannabinoids are toxic to malignant tumors</b></a>.
In addition there are many stories from patients who reported melanoma cures
through the use of topical cannabis oil. Foundation for this process is backed through
limited recent such as the 2013 paper, ‘<a href="http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/bph.12309/abstract"><b>Epigenetic control of skin differentiation genes by phytocannabinoids</b></a>’,
and the 2015 research study ‘<a href="https://www.alchimiaweb.com/blogfr/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/2014-LS-Differential-role-CB-skin-cancer-Glodde-N-Differential-role-of-cannabinoids-in-the-pathogenesis-of-skin-cancer-.pdf"><b>Differential role of cannabinoids in the pathogenesis of skin cancer</b></a>’. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
And the list of healing stories and research goes on. For
further information you may also want to visit the <a href="https://www.alchimiaweb.com/blogen/82-studies-efficiency-marijuana-against-cancer/"><b>Alchimia Blog</b></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>to view a list of 82 studies of
marijuana in relation to cancer. Clearly cannabis is providing some form of
positive healing results for treating cancer. Why then if we truly want to cure
cancer, do we not do everything within our power to explore it further? Could
it be the stigma of getting high or that it is not socially and politically correct? More likely it is because there is no major financial
return for pharmaceutical companies? Cannabis is easy to grow, much less
expensive compared to new approved drugs, and available around the world.
Because of this the question becomes, “<b>Regardless of its ability to relieve
suffering and save lives, who will fund the millions needed to do the research
for its official approval</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">?” </span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">Are you looking for a
cancer treatment that attacks, and kills cancer cells with little harm to
healthy cells? Now add, it should have zero to minimal side effects <b>when
administered properly</b></span><span style="font-family: "georgia";">, cost less
than $3.00 per day for treatment, and obtain excellent results. The answer may
be closer than you think.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">One of the most promising
new cancer treatment possibilities is <b>Artesunate</b></span><span style="font-family: "georgia";">, a standardized pharmaceutical grade derivative of
Artemisinin from the Artemisia annua plant, also known as Sweet Wormwood or
Sweet Annie. Artemisia annua has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for
thousands of years. In fact, records of its use were unearthed in an ancient
Han Tomb at Mawangdui outlining treatment for malaria with Artemisia. Also
discovered, was a small region in Viet Nam that has been quietly relying on the
Artemisia Anna plant for its malaria healing powers. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">As a result of these
discoveries, in the 1960’s the Chinese began using this plant to treat malaria.
In the 1970’s the World Health Organization began investigating Artemisia annua
as a malaria cure when Quinine became less effective. And in 1972, Artemisinin
was isolated from the plant by Dr. Tu Youyou of China as one of its principal
active ingredients. For this discovery and his work with Artemisinin, Dr Tu
received a Nobel Prize in 2015. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";"><b>Since then,
Artemisinin, and its two most common derivatives, Artesunate and Artemether,
have been used around the world to treat malaria.</b></span><span style="font-family: "georgia";"> Artemisinin works because malaria parasites
consume large quantities of red blood cells containing iron. They become loaded
with iron. Adding Artemisinin causes a reaction with this iron releasing
reactive oxygen species that destroy the parasite.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">In the U.S., the FDA has
also approved a drug made from this research for malaria treatment. In
addition, because of Artemisinin’s extended use, <b>there are excellent records
for dosage, effectiveness, and side effects regarding the Artemisia annua
plant, Artemisinin, Artesunate, and Artemether.</b></span><span style="font-family: "georgia";"> So what does this have to do with cancer? The
answer revolves around malaria and cancer’s need for iron to survive.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">Now fast forward to
present time. Due to recent research, some provided by the <a href="http://www.washington.edu/news/2008/10/13/scientists-develop-new-cancer-killing-compound-from-salad-plant/"><b>University of Washington</b></a>,</span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3970565033282960478#_edn1" name="_ednref1" style="mso-endnote-id: edn1;" title=""></a><span style="font-family: "georgia";"> scientists are looking at the Artemesia family of
compounds as a treatment for cancer. <b>In fact, preliminary research has progressed
so well that one company in the Pacific Northwest, working to improve
Artemisinin’s effectiveness, is ready to initiate phase one trials in relation
to breast and prostate cancer, as soon as they are able to fund the project.</b></span><span style="font-family: "georgia";"> So you’re probably asking yourself, how does it
work? To answer, it’s important first to understand one of the principal
processes of cancer cells. This is, cancer’s critical need for iron.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">Iron is essential for each
cancer cell’s metabolism, cell division, and survival. It plays a part in DNA
synthesis, cellular respiration, and macromolecule biosynthesis. It is vital
for cell growth and proliferation. In fact, it is so necessary for cancer cells
that without it they die. Now we all need a certain level of iron for proper
bodily functions. <a href="http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/understanding-anemia-symptoms"><b>Too little iron,</b> you become sick and anemic</a>.</span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3970565033282960478#_edn2" name="_ednref2" style="mso-endnote-id: edn2;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"></span></span></a><span style="font-family: "georgia";"> <a href="http://www.irondisorders.org/iron-overload"><b>Too much iron</b></a> and you could experience chronic

<a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25228650"><b>fuel cancer’s growth</b></a> like pouring gasoline on a fire.</span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3970565033282960478#_edn4" name="_ednref4" style="mso-endnote-id: edn4;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"></span></span></a><span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia";"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">Normal cells in your body
need minimal iron, but cancer cells need more. It’s their key for cellular
division. To gather the iron cancer needs, prostate and breast cancer cells
have many more transferrin iron-receptors on their surface than healthy cells,
as many as 15 times more! Leukemia cancer cells require the highest
concentration of iron. Their iron storage can reach 1,000 times more than
healthy cells. All this iron comes from the food we eat. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">When we consume foods with
iron, the iron is absorbed by the small intestine. It’s then carried to the
cells by a plasma protein called transferrin. Our cells have transferrin
receptors on their surface. Sort of like a receptacle or dock waiting for its
mate or ship to arrive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As the
iron carrying transferrin joins with each cell’s transferrin receptors, it’s
transported into the cell by a kind of vesicle, essentially a sac. The
transferrin is then released into the cell and the empty receptor is
transported back to the cell surface to gather more transferrin. This is a
process of continuous repetition, though much more abundant for cancer cells
due to their greater quantity of transferrin receptors. In addition to cells
collecting iron, much iron is transported to the bone marrow where it’s used to
make hemoglobin and red blood cells. These then circulate throughout the body
supplying oxygen to tissues and organs. Iron in the blood is an important
factor when considering Artemisinin treatment, and it also presents an
excellent way of monitoring for side effects. More on this later.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";"><b>Now comes the important
cancer termination part.</b></span><span style="font-family: "georgia";"> The
Artemisinin family of compounds contains two oxygen atoms hooked together in an
endoperoxide linkage. When put together with iron this bond breaks, thus
forming free radicals that <a href="http://mct.aacrjournals.org/content/10/12/2224.long"><b>destroy the cancer cell from within</b></a>.</span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3970565033282960478#_edn5" name="_ednref5" style="mso-endnote-id: edn5;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"></span></span></a><span style="font-family: "georgia";"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">Technically Artesunate,
which is readily hydrolyzed back to a DHA metabolite, is activated by iron in
the cancer cells. This combination produces highly alkylating carbon-centered
radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Because tumor cells are already
damaged, they have lower expression of antioxidant compounds and other factors
necessary to repair the damage caused by the flood of alkylating
carbon-centered radicals and ROS. Thus the cancer cell ceases to function.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">Healthy cells require much
less iron. They also are better equipped to repair oxidative damage. Because of

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";"><b>This is exciting
information. But do NOT rush out to your local health food store, or onto
Amazon.com</b></span><span style="font-family: "georgia";"> to purchase
Artemisinin. It may not work. Testing on readily available Artemisinin products
has revealed capsules containing wide ranges of potency, some with only 5% to
10% active Artemisinin levels. Using these products is most likely a waste of
time, money, and your health. There is too little Artemisinin to be effective.
This is due to processing, and that different subspecies of Artemesia annua
contain different concentrations of Artemisinin. The species with the best
yield and quality is found in southwestern China and Vietnam. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">Then too, Artemisinin and
its derivatives are light sensitive, loosing potency when exposed to light so
packaging and storage are very important. And since successful treatment, and
side effects are dose-dependent, it is critical to know exactly the amount you’re
taking. Therefore, <b>the only Artemisinin family product to consume must be of
‘pharmaceutical grade’ quality</b></span><span style="font-family: "georgia";">.
There are several pharmaceutical grade sources for Artemisinin family products,
<b>but which form of Artemisinin should be used? </b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">Several derivatives of
Artemisinin have been developed since it’s recent discovery in an attempt to
improve absorption and stability while reducing toxic effects. Currently,
doctors principally use three product forms. Let’s start by looking at each of
these.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><b>Artemisinin</b></span><span style="font-family: "georgia";"> – This is the initial product derived directly
from the Artemesia annua plant. It is Not Water-Soluble and has poorer
absorption than some other forms. When taken, it reaches its peak concentration
in the blood in about 40 minutes. The liver quickly breaks it down, and by four
hours it has reached the end of its effectiveness.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><b>Artesunate</b></span><span style="font-family: "georgia";"> – This is a semi-synthetic form of Artemisinin. <b>Many
sources believe it is the most effective form to use for killing cancer because
of its DHA conversion in the body.</b></span><span style="font-family: "georgia";">
Artesunate is partially water-soluble. It is available in pill, injection, and
IV forms. It has a higher absorption rate, around 61%, but also the shortest
activity period.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><b>Artemether</b></span><span style="font-family: "georgia";"> – Another semi-synthetic form of Artemisinin,
Artemether lasts longest in the blood and is more fat-soluble. It also exhibits
more side effects than the other two products. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia bold italic";"><b>Important
Note:</b></span><span style="font-family: "georgia";"> <b>Because of its higher
toxicity, it has been strongly recommended that Artemether dosage not exceed
one milligram (mg) per kilogram (kg) of body weight per day (<1mg/kg/day)</b></span><span style="font-family: "georgia";">.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">Now knowing the different
forms of Artemisinin, have a conversation with your health care provider to
choose which approach may be best. From my own research and medical
discussions, I tend to believe <b>Artesunate </b></span><span style="font-family: "georgia";">to be most effective, though in some instances a blend of the three could be explored. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">For all three of these
forms, most doctors and researchers recommend they be taken on an empty
stomach, away from food. <b>If taken near food consumption, the Artemisinin may
bind with iron in the food rendering it ineffective before reaching its cancer
target.</b></span><span style="font-family: "georgia";"> If taking these products
twice a day the best times are just before bed at least three hours after
eating, or in the morning an hour before food. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">But if you are taking
supplements, Vitamin-C, CoQ10, Fish Oil, etc., taking Artesunate or Artemisinin
twice a day may be not practical. You see many supplements are strong antioxidants.
The Artemisinin family works largely on the principal of oxidation. An
antioxidant will counteract this oxidative process. Your supplements most
likely stay in your body at least four to six hours. If taken too close to
Artemisinin, your supplements will negate its use. Then too, one must consider
your nutritional intake. You wouldn’t want to eat say a couple of oranges close
to ingesting Artesunate because of the anti-oxidants. And, there are many foods
with higher anti-oxidant activity. Some of these include red beans,
blueberries, kidney beans, pinto beans, cranberries, artichoke, blackberries,
prunes, raspberries, strawberries, apples, pecans, cherries, plumbs, potatoes,
black beans, and the list goes on. Then there are all the exotic super food
antioxidants. So what’s a person to do? You shouldn’t stop eating healthy. The
answer is to simply separate the two. Enjoy your high antioxidant foods and
supplements in the morning, and take Artesunate in one dose at night before
bed. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">With that said, there is
another reason to take Artesunate before bed. Cancer cells grow faster at
night. This is when protein receptor molecules on the cell’s surface are more
active. The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) facilitates cell growth,
but is suppressed by another receptor during the day. All this cancer growth
activity at night makes the cells more vulnerable, requiring more iron for
cellular division. Bedtime then becomes the best time to slip in a little Artesunate,
Artemisinin or Artemether. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">Other points to consider
are <b>absorption, and absorption resistance</b></span><span style="font-family: "georgia";">. The Artemisinin family is mostly oil-soluble, not water-soluble.
Artesunate’s increased absorption rate comes from its partial water solubility.
For best absorption, some doctors are researchers suggest taking the dose with
a little whole milk as it has fat to facilitate absorption with few
antioxidants. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">Then, when you ingest
Artemisinin continuously your intestines quickly build up a resistance to
absorbing the Artemisinin. In only a few days, amounts of <a href="http://dmd.aspetjournals.org/content/26/1/25.long"><b>Artemisinin absorbed can drop by over 30%</b></a>.</span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3970565033282960478#_edn12" name="_ednref12" style="mso-endnote-id: edn12;" title=""></a><span style="font-family: "georgia";"> With continued use, this drop in absorption
increases until the Artemisinin attained is far too little to be effective. The
easy remedy for this issue is an intestinal reset. When one stops taking Artemisinin
for a few days, absorption is believed to return to its necessary levels.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";"><b>Before we continue with
this discussion, I want to add an important warning. There can be serious side
effects as a result of taking Artesunate, Artemisinin or Artemether in too large
a dose without concurrent monitoring of hemoglobin and other appropriate tests.
If you are considering using Artemisinin in any of its forms, it is vital you
use it only under the supervision of a medical professional that understands
the process, and can perform the safety and evaluation tests required. </b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">With that said, let’s
continue by focusing on dosage, and side effects. There are a few studies that
provide a hint of dosage for Artesunate and Artemisinin as it relates for
cancer treatment, though many studies exist for malaria. Doctors around the
World have been using Artemisinin in its three principal forms for malaria
treatment for decades. Therefore we do know something about dose tolerance.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">Recent research, along

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";"><b>Side Effects</b></span><span style="font-family: "georgia";"> are often dose-dependent. When side effects show
up they can present as stomach or digestive distress, though in rare instances
flu-like symptoms of dizziness, fever, nausea, skin rashes, drowsiness,

related plants also experience an allergic reaction. In one study with 500

around the Globe have been taking Artemisinin and its derivatives for years
with success for malaria, and now for cancer. New research is being
accomplished, though unfocused and grindingly slow. Much research still needs
to be done. You see no pharmaceutical wants to fund a cancer drug’s research
without financial return. Artesunate, Artemisinin and Artemether are already
commercially available at around $3.00 a pill, and new derivatives will not be
that much more. So where’s the profit? And without financial research backing
for human trials Artesunate, Artemisinin and Artemether will never see FDA
approval. Does lack of FDA approval mean that it doesn’t work. Not in the
least. It just means that this is one of those promising cures kept from
official approval due to our system and lack of funds</span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">The global cost of cancer
surpasses $895 Billion annually. More than 500,000 Americans will die this year
from cancer. By 2020 U.S. cancer costs the U.S. are expected to reach <a href="http://www.cancer.org/acs/groups/content/@internationalaffairs/documents/document/acspc-026203.pdf"><b>$157.7 Billion</b></a>.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Cancer research is proceeding
at a furious rate, yet considering over 40 years of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>U.S. research at a cost of $90 Billion with less than
jubilant results, one wonders if the research is focused in the most effective
manner. This year, 2015, the U.S. will spend around $10 Billion in cancer
research. Now, what if I told you we could possibly put cancer into remission,
or at the very least cut it by 50%, for a cost of around $50 Million? It is
possible, but without change in our medical approval system, the research may
never be done. Let’s set the stage for today’s reality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Now before you say $50
Million is too much money, consider $50 Million is only one half of one
percent of the total money to be spent for U.S. cancer research this year. We
say we want a cure for cancer, but really? When one is truly committed to a
goal, they pull out all stops, leave no stone unturned, and are not dissuaded
from following promising paths.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Or do we really want to cure
cancer only if economically profitable, and politically correct? It would
appear this is the case, because we ignore research, and results, of potential
cancer promising treatments for economic and political reasons. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><b>In the U.S., our political
medical system of protocol and drug approval for the treatment of cancer has
evolved to exclude any cancer treatment that will not provide a significant
financial return for its end manufacturer.</b></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> This of course, is not stated in print, but is the direct result of a
complex system originally designed to protect the public from snake oil peddlers.
Unfortunately, the g approval system today has its failings. If for instance I
found a plant in my yard, or an easily ingested supplement that cured my
cancer, most likely, the FDA would never approve it as a treatment. If not
patentable with a healthy return on investment, no one would put up the
millions of dollars and 2-5 years of time necessary to obtain FDA approval.
There is simply no financial return worth the time and expense.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Then there’s the ongoing
conflict between allopathic and naturopathic approaches. Most medical
allopathic doctors specialize to the extent there is little time to explore new
healing options. Given marginal cancer treatment results, these doctors are
often overworked, experiencing a constant flow of returning and new patients.
They have little time, or desire, to explore new treatment options, and they
are very protective of their proven income streams often relying on less
effective but known and understood out-or-date procedures. As an example,
currently there exist two new U.S. approved diagnostic procedures for cancer,
the ONCOblot Test and the PHI Test. Used together; these two new tests could
save our Country $2 Billion in unnecessary prostate biopsy procedures.
Unfortunately most urology and cancer specialists either do not acknowledge
theses tests exist, or they refuse to use them. But these same doctors are
always recommending another biopsy. In the U.S., we perform around 1,000,000
prostate biopsies each year. Approximately 750,000 of these biopsies have
negative results effectively making them useless, while placing patients at
risk. I have known some prostate cancer patients to suffer through over eight
biopsies with negative results. I have also known patients who are convinced
their biopsy spread their cancer. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">These same allopathic doctors
have little training in the naturopathic healing processes, including nutrition
and the use of natural substances to affect cancer remission. <b>Many in the
allopathic community simply believe their way is the only way, and each doctor
believes their specialty to be the best.</b></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">
It is no wonder many in the allopathic medical community look down at treatment
suggestions from the naturopathic community. And which medical community do you
think controls the FDA, and financial purse strings? In our time this rivalry
has become so out of balance that California made it a felony to treat cancer
with anything except surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy regardless of
results. Once again, if a natural cure for cancer were found tomorrow, it could
be illegal to use, a felony in California. Fortunately there are states more
open to alternative treatment options.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">So here we stand with little
hope of finding a natural cure do to lack of funded research and pushback from
the allopathic community. Instead, as cancer patients we are offered extraordinarily
expensive laboratory drugs, with often times life threatening side effects,
radiation that may cause new future cancers, or life threatening and at times
ineffective surgery. All this while the public is left to its own devices to
find alternative cures. This would appear to be an insurmountable situation,
but fortunately for us, technology is somewhat bridging the gap and filling the
void. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">The Internet, bless its
largely uncensored heart, may have come to our rescue. Research, though
limited, is being done around the world on alternative cures for cancer.
Limited in its extent due to lack of funding, this research is beginning to
filter out to cancer patients. Patients who, on their own, or sometimes with
support of a courageous naturopath or allopathic doctor, are extending their
lives with supplements and natural protocols beyond what surgery, radiation or
chemotherapy offer, and without the debilitating side effects of traditional
medicine.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">From these largely
self-directed cancer therapies have come interesting results including cancer stabilization,
remissions, even what some individuals call cures. Pouring over the latest
research and self-directed results I believe there are at least five exceptionally
promising treatments that have shown their worth. One, a combination of these,
or a variation of these, most likely will be found as a natural, inexpensive
treatment for cancer. At the very least, I believe these treatments will
dramatically reduce a patient’s cancer load thus extending life and making
other treatment options more effective.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">These five treatments include
the following:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><b><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>1)

Thymogen</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">These five protocols have
received remarkable results if one reviews the limited research and patient
stories. In each case, I have read the research and spoken with cancer patients
who have had their cancer stabilized, put into remission, or possibly healed
with their use. This is why I am creating this discussion, and I do hope it
turns into a positive proactive discussion. I believe each of these substances
should be fully researched with the goal of approval by the FDA for cancer
treatment under a doctor’s care and guidance.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">These treatments, and many
other good natural or non-patentable treatment options, are already being used
on a regular basis for cancer treatment both in the U.S. and throughout the
world because they appear to get results. Unfortunately, using these treatments
is a bit like the old west. There’s precious little medical oversight, dosage
and interaction information, or side effect considerations. There is also
minimal information shared regarding results of these treatments. You see, the
FDA for cancer does not currently approve these treatments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">And side effects, though most
often dose dependent, can exist. By the way everything you eat and drink can
have unwanted or serious side effects. Pending on what you put into your mouth,
you will thrive, survive, or cease to exist. For these reasons it’s wise to
know the safest limits of any treatment, and have proper medical supervision
running necessary concurrent tests keeping you safe.<span style="color: red;"></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">With this in mind, it is my
firm belief, should you decide to explore any of these treatments for cancer,
you must have medical backup. As I further discuss each of these treatments,
take specific note on the side effect considerations. Then understand every
body is unique. What works without side effects for one person may be hazardous,
or possibly ineffective for another individual. Find a doctor, a naturopath or allopath
skilled in these protocols before use. Keep yourself safe while improving your
health and releasing the cancer.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Over the next few weeks I
will be posting the most current information on my Blog regarding each of these
five treatment options. The final post in this series will propose a solution,
and steps to take, to see that these treatments are properly researched,
evaluated, and available to the public with medical oversight. I have no
connection or ties to any of these treatments. Like all cancer patients, I
merely want to find something with better than available results, without the
debilitating side effects. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Your feedback concerning on
each posts will be greatly appreciated!</span></div>

also been getting up at night, way too often, to pee. You decide to see your
doctor. A DRE is performed, and although your doctor feels your prostate is a
bit enlarged, results are inconclusive. Your doctor suggests a prostate biopsy.
But wait, you’ve heard they can be dangerous. Pain, fever, bleeding, infection,
and urinary problems are just a few of the possible side effects. What should
you do?</span></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">This year there will be
approximately 1,000,000 effectively blind prostate biopsies in the U.S.
Unfortunately around three quarters of these, approximately 750,000, will have
negative results. And most likely around 25% to 35% of these will be because the
doctor’s needles simply missed the cancer. If you are one who has experienced a
negative biopsy, you know it is of little service. In fact it may be harmful. The
biopsy targeting process is so inaccurate it may give you false information about being
cancer free. It could have simply missed the cancer. So if you have a
negative biopsy, how will you know what’s real? Then there is the $3,000 to
$6,000 in biopsy medical costs without insurance, and time lost to recovery.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">What if there was a better
way to feel secure about your results. Recently developed tests may provide the
answer. Using the <b>PHI</b></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> or <b>4Score</b></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> and <b>ONCOblot</b></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> Tests are one way to assure a biopsy is necessary, and may make it more effective.
<b>In my opinion, no prostate biopsy should be performed without these tests</b></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 14.0pt;">The first test to consider is called the <b>Prostate Health Index,
or <a href="http://www.myinnovativelab.com/prostate-cancer/">PHI test</a> </b></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 14.0pt;">in the U.S., and in Europe where it was
developed it’s called the <b>Pro-PSA</b></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 14.0pt;">. This blood test combines three markers:
PSA, Percent Free (or Free PSA), and a precursor form of PSA called -2proPSA
(also termed Pro-PSA or p2PSA). As a precursor to PSA, there is evidence that
Pro-PSA is 2.5 to 3 times better connected to prostate cancer than say <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23375961"><b>PSA</b>.</a>
Results of these three markers are then run through a sophisticated algorithm
to determine the probability prostate cancer exists. Research has shown the <b>PHI
test to be ‘Three Times Better’ at predicting prostate cancer</b></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 14.0pt;"> than standard PSA
tests for men in the 4.0 ng/ml to 10.0 ng/ml range. Test results are provided in
PHI ranges with the higher scores more indicative of cancer. Scores from 0 to 24.0 suggest an 11% possibility of cancer<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null"><u> </u></a>where highest scores greater than 55
have a 52.1% of cancer<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3970565033282960478#_edn2" name="_ednref2" style="mso-endnote-id: edn2;" title=""></a>.
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_PSA_Test">Since</a> the PHI test has so out-performed the previous
combination results of PSA and Percent Free, where used, it has greatly reduced
unnecessary biopsies while better detecting more aggressive prostate cancer. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 14.0pt;">The second prostate cancer test recently coming to the market is
the <b><a href="http://clinical.opko.com/how-does-4kscore-test-work">4KScore Test</a></b></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 14.0pt;">.
This test provides a much better look at the possibility of having Aggressive Prostate
Cancer, claiming 94% accuracy in this area. Certainly an important consideration
to determine if a biopsy could be necessary. Based on 10 years of research by Memorial
Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, the test takes into account the patient’s age, any
previously negative biopsies, if there are any nodules discovered during the DRE,
total PSA, free PSA, intact PSA, and measures the amount of hK2 protein in the
blood. The protein hK2, also called human kallikrein-related peptide, is made
largely in the prostate and responsible for cleavage of pPSA to mature PSA.
Since PSA and hK2 express differently, they are considered independent markers.
As a general test to determine if one has prostate cancer the original PSA test
had an accuracy rate of roughly 55%, that was improved to 65% with the Free/Total
PSA test. Now the PHI test results have improved prostate blood test accuracy
to better than 75%. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 14.0pt;">Should you experience a high likelihood of cancer from either, or
both, the <b>PHI</b></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 14.0pt;"> or the <b>4KScore</b></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 14.0pt;"> Tests, the next step is the <b>ONCOblot
Test</b></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 14.0pt;">.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 14.0pt;">This test detects cancers in their earliest forms, often before
symptoms appear. It can find cancers with as few as 2 million cells (about the
tip of a pin in size), unlike current scans that need over 4.5 trillion cells

protein as a marker, and by determining its molecular weight and isoelectric

determining cancer(s) with no false positives, and 96% accuracy in determining
the type of and organ site of the cancer. It has been called, “the most
sensitive blood test for cancer available today”. Unfortunately it can’t
determine the stage of the cancer, the amount of the cancer load, or any spread
of the cancer. It just tells you if you have cancer, or not. Yet when
considering whether to have a prostate biopsy, determining if you have actually
have prostate cancer beforehand can be extremely valuable, even life saving
knowledge. The ONCOblot test is approved by the FDA as a ‘Laboratory Developed
Test’, but is not yet covered by insurance, as it’s too new. It was first made
available to the public in January 2013. Yes, it’s expensive. It currently
costs $850 for the lab work. You can also add to this your blood draw, and
doctor fees. It’s not a quick test. Once you have sent in the blood draw, it
takes approximately 2 to 3 weeks to obtain the results. For more information

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 14.0pt;">Together these 3 pre-biopsy tests paint a comprehensive picture of
your prostate’s health. Ask your doctor to research the ONCOblot test. Have your
doctor put in a request for Medicare approval. Of course, if you’re like the
tens of thousands of men who just can’t wait any longer for the frozen wheels
of government to turn, have your doctor do the blood draw, and ship the sample
to ONCOblot for evaluation. Though it will cost you now, you could end up
saving considerable time, money, resources, and quality of life in the long
run.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 14.0pt;">One final note: Should all these three tests come out positive for
cancer, then it’s time to consider a prostate biopsy. Again, you will want to
handle the biopsy in the most professional and accurate manner possible. At
present time, this is accomplished by using the <a href="http://urology.ucla.edu/body.cfm?id=455"><b>Fusion Biopsy</b></a></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>combining both MRI and Ultrasound to
provide the most accurate core sampling placement possible. Because if a blind biopsy
misses the area where cancer is located it’s really like having no biopsy at
all, oh, except for the costs, health risks, and aggravation.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 14.0pt;">And if you want another reason to do these tests pre-biopsy, in addition to saving you an unnecessary biopsy, over the year they will save our Country $1.5 Billion to $2 Billion in unnecessary medical costs. </span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;"><b>Soaring medical costs</b>, and <b>ineffective medical management</b> is undermining our
society’s foundation. Yet most 2016 presidential candidates only focus on
berating the other party while avoiding the hard questions. Let’s face it, we
are a people more excited about social gossip than in saving the lives of the
27,500 husbands and fathers who will die of prostate cancer this year, or saving
the estimated 2,134,586 who will die this year from our 4 deadliest diseases:
cancer, heart disease, diabetes and Alzheimer’s. It is no wonder the public is
so disenchanted with politicians and holds our political system with so little
confidence. And if you think this is bad, just wait till 2020 and beyond. The
question becomes, will our political system grow a conscience, and wake up to
what they’re doing in time to affect change?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;">Examples
of this disconnect from future reality were abundant during the second
televised Republican Debate though I want to focus on one comment by Mike
Huckabee. He made a bold, though somewhat poorly refined statement. He offered,
we simply need to cure cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s rather
than just treating the symptoms. On the surface this sounds good, but one
wonders, how do we accomplish this task when as a country we are doing so much
to foster these diseases. Yes, though trying to look good, America is the
enabler. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;">After 40
years of looking for a cure with little success, one would think someone would
get the message. What we are doing doesn’t work! Furthermore it may be
detrimental to the health of our Nation! Sure, there have been medical bright
spots and limited successes. Many of our medical procedures are better refined,
but there are still few cures. With all the money spent to date, what’s wrong
with this picture? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;">I ask
this because in the 40 years we have been trying to find cures for these 4
deadly diseases, the National Cancer Institute has spent more than $90 Billion
fostering research on cancer alone. In fact, in 2015 the U.S. will spend
approximately $5,414,000,000 on cancer research, $1,651,000,000 for heart
disease, $1,039,000,000 on diabetes, and $586,000,000 on Alzheimer’s in hopes
of finding a cure. Beyond this government provided $8.69 Billion for research,
there are several Billions more gathered from all the charity drives such as
walks, bake sales, stair climbs, and afternoon 5K’s. But all these funds are
only making minimal progress as evidenced by the $374 Billion Americans spend
annually on prescriptions along with the estimated $70 Billion for indirect
disease financial losses.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;">And the
cost of medical care in America just keeps increasing. Drug costs are rising at
alarming rates as evidenced by the recent attempted ~5,500% increase for the
drug Daraprim. This drug, originally costing around $1 to produce, previously
selling for $13.50, was recently re-priced to $750 per pill taking it out of
reach for many in medical need. Though the drug company has since said they
would somewhat rollback the new price, this is just the canary in the coalmine.
Already there are a raft of new drugs that will cost patients $500 to $1,000
per pill. Then there are the existing drug increases with only 1,000% to 2,000%
increases. It is no wonder that those with cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and
Alzheimer’s are being forced into bankruptcy. With treatment costs as much as
$100,000 to $200,000 per year for many diseases, a millionaire is quickly
reduced to abject poverty. Now consider that over 38 million Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck,
many without adequate insurance. Did you know, over 26% of Americans (over 81
million people) have no savings, and of all those with bank accounts the
average total family savings are less than $5,000. What do these people do when
sick? Even with insurance coverage they have trouble paying for their deductible,
and often times skip pills. And, if it’s between food and drugs for their
family, I know which one wins out every time. Too many times these Americans
simply suffer in silence, or die in poverty. As a Country, we do little to
correct this tragedy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;">And it
just keeps getting worse. </span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;">At the
current medical inflation rate, total annual treatment costs in the next 5
years for cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s are estimated to
reach $1.5 Trillion. That’s $1,500,000,000,000. From which of your pockets do
you think this will come? Now you see the issue.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;">But this
is still the tip of the problem. As Mike Huckabee alluded to, in this country
we focus on disease management rather than finding a cure. In addition to
currently being without cures, we are a Nation that’s becoming sicker by the
minute. With the increasing obesity epidemic, it is estimated by the year 2030
over half the U.S. population will be morbidly obese, and over 1 in 3 Americans
will be diabetic. Did you know many consider obesity a precursor to cancer,
heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s? That growing bundle of fat around
your belly, arms and legs is alive. It’s like a little factory that’s putting
out all manner of toxins overwhelming your immune system and creating disease.
Then add the increasing medical disability once cancer, heart disease, or
diabetes initiates. With these rising figures looming, it is no wonder forward
thinkers are concerned over military, public and private sector vacancies
resulting from a broadening lack of healthy applicants. As a Nation we
verbosely proclaim we have the best military around, yet without enough healthy
soldiers, we may soon be forced to change our tune.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;">So why
are we allowing this degradation of America to happen? The best I can figure, is
because… </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>1)
We have a governing system that’s setup to reward the act of research
regardless of results, </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>2)
a drug approval process that keeps good unfunded healing drugs off the market
while rewarding those backed by massive funding, </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>3)
a governing system that’s more focused on political gain and re-election
contributions than on helping the sick and our country recover, </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>4)
a medical system where doctors are provided little nutritional training, </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>5)
and a business model that looks to maximize personal financial gain at the
expense of the poorest of our citizens. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;">In other
words, we are too focused on personal gain at any cost rather than helping our
fellow Americans and our Country in making a real difference. And if you are in
a position of political power, have ever voted according to your party without
understanding what’s at stake, or acquiesced your vote to a financial campaign
contributor, then take a long look in the mirror. You’re the problem rather
than solution.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;">Now one
of our greatest holdbacks to finding a cure comes from the drug approval
process in America. Did you know new drug approval by the FDA could take over
10 years and cost between $125 Million and $350 Million. Of course, a few drugs
experience a fast-track process but this is not without onerous costs,
extensive time, and abundant research. During the approval process there are
multiple phase studies involving thousands of patients to determine
effectiveness, dosage, and adverse reactions of the proposed new drug or
treatment. <b>On average only 8% of drugs presented to the FDA receive
approval.</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;">Does
this mean if the FDA does not approve a drug, or procedure, that it has no
merit? Not hardly. I know several who have been cured of cancer by non-approved
FDA methods both here and from other countries. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So take a moment and think about the FDA approval process.
With all the time and money involved for new drug approval, can you see how the
only drugs that make it to market under our current system are those that drug
manufacturers can place a heavy price tag on to re-coupe their time and costs,
and then make a substantial profit? Drug manufacturers are not in business to
cure people. They’re in business to make money. The new drugs coming out at
$1,000 per pill are prime examples of this return-on-research reward process. <b>This
is why non-patentable natural drugs will never be listed as approved by the FDA.</b></span><span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;"> There is simply no money to pay
for the time and research necessary to obtain FDA approval. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;">And just
because a successful drug or medical procedure is approved in another country,
doesn’t mean we have it for use here. The FDA still wants the testing and
verification, again costing millions and years of time. Even successful drugs
and medical procedures commonly used in other countries may take 5 to 10 years
just to benefit Americans.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;">So with
all this said, here is where we stand:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>1)
Our current policy on obesity is a failure. Just look at the numbers or the
people as you stroll down the street.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>2)
Diabetes is skyrocketing, and viciously increasing within our young children.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>3)
The U.S drug and medical approval process is currently only good for expensive
drugs that are out of reach by many.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>4)
Because of cost, our current drug approval system totally negates the benefit
of any non-patentable natural substance and removes them as treatment and cure options.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>4)
Politicians are more concerned with party politics and their re-election rather
than health of Americans.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>5)
Most doctors are poorly qualified to discuss nutrition with patients do to lack
of nutritional training. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>6)
There are those uncaring individuals and medical companies in our free economy
that are preying on the sick and becoming wealthy at the expense of a healthy
America.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>7<b>)
The exorbitant cost of medical treatment in America is a ‘major’ portion of our
GNP</b></span><span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;">. Providing
complete cures for these four major diseases could destabilize our economy if
introduced too quickly.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>8)
When medical breakthroughs are finally realized, doctors take years to
implement new procedures due to lack knowledge and training.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;">Does
this sound like a Country focused on finding cures for cancer, heart disease,
diabetes and Alzheimer’s to you? Or does this sound like someone more concerned
with population control and protecting the economy than finding a cure? Then
again, we may be just putting our heads in the sand and trying to blame our
problems on others. Seems like that happens a lot.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;">If we
really want to cure these diseases, we first need a reality check at the
highest levels. We say we want a cure, but are we really ready to do whatever
it takes to obtain it? I’m sure there are many ways to get to the same results.
Problem is, we have been going backwards for too long and now the steps are
becoming more difficult. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;"><b>To find
cure we need to begin with the cause. </b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;">In
looking for a cure, wouldn’t determining the underlying causal conditions for
these diseases be of prime importance so we could stop the disease pipeline
from continually filling? According to the International Agency for Research in
Cancer, <b>80-90% of cancer is environmentally caused and avoidable</b></span><span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;">, yet only 10% of our research is
focused on our environment and less than 1% of research is focused on diet. It
is important to ask at this point… why? Knowing that our environment is largely
providing the triggers for these diseases, why do we spend so little time
making the necessary changes to prevent these diseases at their origin?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;">Sugar,
fat, salt, GMO’s, pesticides, lack of exercise, lack of information, stress and
more stress, it is no wonder that America is becoming sicker. In fact we spend
more money on attempting to be healthy than any other country in the world yet
are ranked only 37<sup>th</sup>, and at the bottom of the list for the World’s
eleven wealthiest Nations. If we are to cure these diseases, we first must put
a stop to their increasing occurrence. This will mean gradually changing the
dietary and exercise habits of Americans. Not an easy task! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;">Every
day we are bombarded by advertisements for junk food filled with sugar and
empty carbs. You can’t leave your residence without being flooded with sugary
images. There are few countermeasures to these hypnotic enticing ads and
displays. If we truly wanted to heal America a good start would be to ban
sugar. (Did you just cringe?) That simple act would drastically reduce the
incidence of new disease and save the lives of so many more. But at this time
banning sugar is not practical or even possible. So we need to begin the next
best steps to modify America’s dietary habits. The following is a brief outline
of my plan for helping America avoid the coming dark future.</span></div>

The problem is, most doctors do not know of, or currently perform, these tests.
The tests are too new. Also, at this time there is little incentive for
overworked doctors to change their procedures. Combine that with the fact many insurance
companies are reluctant to pay for new tests thus making the tests unavailable
to most Americans. Then there is the fact that these tests would greatly cut
into biopsy revenue for many doctors and their facilities. You can now see the

about the importance of consuming cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli for
prostate cancer.</b> As mentioned, they are a great source for many natural cancer-fighting
ingredients such as sulforaphane and indole-3-carbinol (<b>I3C</b></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">). Now let’s expand some of this information for a
better understanding of the curative processes involved, and the most effective
procedures to follow. For this, we’ll take a new look at I3C and DIM (diindolylmethane),
which is made from I3C.</span>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">When you eat vegetables such
as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, collard greens, kale,
watercress, mustard greens, garden cress, horseradish, turnip, kohlrabi, and
bok choi you are also taking in Glucosinolates found in each of these plants.

general consumption purposes the content of glucosinolates for raw vegetables
can be calculated as follows:</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Now remember there exist
many other health promoting substances in each of these plants so it is
important to always consider the entire picture. For this discussion, we will
just consider the process that fosters I3C and DIM. Here is how this particular
process works. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">When you start to chew raw
kale, broccoli or other cruciferous vegetables, you release the glucosinolates
stored inside the plant along with another natural plant substance called
myrosinase. Myrosinase is an enzyme found in the plant’s cellular walls.
Through your initial chewing and digestive process, these two substances
combine, creating an enzymatic hydrolysis process, where Indole-3-carbinol
(I3C) is formed. Once I3C is formed, it further changes. During the digestive
process, two I3C molecules with the aid of stomach acid connect together to
further form something new, called DIM (diindolylmethane). Nature and our
bodies are certainly wonderful! Through a complex and very human process we are
freely provided unique chemical compounds that have exceptional cancer-curative
properties.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 14.0pt;">These
cancer-curative properties have been well documented through extensive
research. Researchers at Berkley have shown I3C (1) has a direct interaction
that kills prostate cancer cells, (2) lowers the production of PSA, and (3)
reduces the spread of prostate cancer. Further research from Wayne State
University School of Medicine supports these findings saying, ”there is ample
evidence for the benefit of I3C and DIM for the prevention and treatment of
prostate cancer”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">In a <b><a href="http://www.nature.com/onc/journal/v20/n23/full/1204365a.html">2001 study</a></b></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> it was determined that I3C induced G1 cell cycle
arrest leading to prostate cancer cell death along with regulating the genes
that control cancer cell death. The researcher’s final determination was that
“I3C may be an effective chemopreventive or therapeutic agent against prostate
cancer”. This research was further expanded, and in <a href="http://jn.nutrition.org/content/134/12/3493S.long"><b>2004 research</b></a></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> it was determined that I3C inhibits the pro-cancer
activity of Akt and NF-κB that allow prostate cancer cells to grow unchecked.
Through this process they believe the application of I3C makes cells more
susceptible to the body’s natural cancer defenses and chemotherapeutic agents.
Thus a new treatment approach was proposed using I3C in cases of
hormone-dependent, hormone-independent, and metastatic prostate cancer to
re-sensitize cancer cells so chemotherapeutic agents become more effective.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">But is it I3C or DIM that is
doing the job on cancer? Remember, I3C combines quickly to form DIM within the
body. It is now believed that DIM adjusts the activity of metabolic enzymes and
estrogen receptor molecules. We previously discussed ‘estrogen dominance’ in my
new book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00W6CEEUM/"><b>Release Prostate Cancer Now!</b></a></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">, </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;">within the chapter titled
Progesterone, Foundation Step #5. The action of DIM limits estrogen’s
growth-promoting signals through reduction of the estrogen receptor system.
Research regarding breast cancer has shown it works even better than the drug
Tamoxifen at inhibiting oestrogen-receptive cancer cells and in turn limits
prostate cancer cell growth through moderation of the natural cell cycle. In
addition, DIM has been found to limit blood supply expansion, angiogenesis, to
prostate tumors. A study published <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2387239/"><b>May, 2008 in the Biochemical Pharmacology Journal</b></a></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>details
how DIM reduces the blood flow to tumors thus limiting their food supply and
preventing cancer’s growth. In another <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3428467/"><b>2012 paper</b></a></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>it
describes how DIM inhibits HDAC enzyme activity in cancer cells thus
up-regulating the P21 protein in prostate cancer cells, and at the same time
down-regulating the HDAC2 protein, preventing new cancer cell growth, causing
cancer cell death, and increased patient survival. Then there is the <a href="http://cancer.osu.edu/news-and-media/news/study-shows-how-dietary-supplement-may-block-cancer-cells"><b>2010 Study by Ohio State University Cancer Center</b></a></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>that
found I3C/DIM causes the destruction of the Cdc25A molecule which is essential
for cancer cell division and proliferation. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Based on these studies and
more, it appears I3C and DIM from cruciferous vegetables are very important to
prevent and even potentially cure prostate cancer. Since 1990 there have been
over 120 peer-reviewed studies showing the benefits of I3C, and DIM in relation
to prostate, breast, and other cancers. It is interesting to note, an average Japanese
diet naturally includes around 120 mgs of I3C per day through common
vegetables, and the Japanese enjoy one of the highest life expectancies with exceptionally
low rates of prostate cancer. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Could this cure everyone?
Probably not, as there are over 100 types of prostate cancer, and cancer easily
mutates to survive. The key, I believe, is to eat properly so prostate cancer
is eradicated before it gains a foothold. This is when I3C and DIM are most
powerful to eradicate prostate cancer before it starts to build and grow
unchecked. In a <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19585501"><b>2009 study</b></a></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> reasonably high consumption of cruciferous vegetables
revealed a 32% decrease in prostate cancer incidence.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">But what if you do have prostate
cancer, or breast cancer? Research has shown excellent benefits from increasing
your dosage of I3C and DIM. In a <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21823116"><b>2012 study</b></a></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> men with prostate cancer who increased their
cruciferous vegetable intake showed a 59% decrease of prostate cancer
progression. To do this men consumed two or more large servings of cruciferous
vegetables per week. And in another <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2923864/"><b>2010 dose-dependent study of DIM</b></a></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>with prostate cancer, one patient supplementing with 300mg of
DIM for 18 months experienced a 90% drop in his PSA reading from 89.7 ng/ml to
9.4 ng/ml, while others experienced PSA drops, or term PSA stabilization.
Additionally researchers with Florida A&M University have actually said
they believe DIM is an effective treatment for triple negative breast cancer. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">So you say, I eat kale,
broccoli and cauliflower, why am I still having prostate problems? It could be
because you’re literally cooking your vegetables to death. Let’s say you cook
your vegetables by boiling, excessive steaming, or microwave. The process of high
temperature cooking, and overheating your vegetables destroys the natural
availability of the enzyme myrosinase. Therefore, with ineffective, dead
myrosinase, less if any of the glucosinolates are converted into I3C. But if
this happens, you may still obtain a limited amount of I3C through a bodily
backup process. A healthy body can use native gut bacteria action to hydrolyze
the glucosinolates into I3C, albeit much less effectively. And what happens if
your gut is already compromised through cancer treatment? You guessed it;
little to no glucosinolates are converted to I3C. And if this is the only way
to create I3C, then of course further conversion to DIM is also negated. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Then too, when cooking your
vegetables with water by boiling or steaming there is another important issue,
that glucosinolates are water-soluble. They leech out of the vegetables into
the cooking water reducing their content in the vegetables you eat by over 50%.
Think back, how often do you just throw out the cooking water? So overcooking
is a double-edged sword. You’re preventing I3C formation with the heat, and are
throwing out the good stuff with the water. <b>Because of this, eating your
cruciferous vegetables raw, lightly sautéed, or very lightly cooked in soup,
are the very best methods for getting the greatest anti-cancer results.</b></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Eating raw and lightly cook
cruciferous vegetables obviously has been proven to be an exceptional way to
prevent cancer. But for those who have cancer, you may need something more. In
addition to eating at least 4 servings of cruciferous vegetables per week, it
is possible to supplement with I3C and DIM. Both are available online. For
dosage, you will want to contact your trusted naturopath focused on cancer
care, as there are some considerations and side effects to consider prior to
starting supplementation. I believe ample research has been done both with I3C
and DIM to warrant supplementation. Most researchers use the equivalent of 200
mg to 400 mg per day of I3C in their studies, or around 225 mg per day of DIM.
It has also been found that DIM in its crystalline form is water insoluble,
therefore very difficult to absorb. For this reason, should you decide to
supplement with DIM, it is recommended to use a bio-enhanced micro encapsulated
form. Some say Nature’s Way DIM-Plus may be a good choice though there are
several others. Generally these supplements are well tolerated. The most common
side effects when supplementing with I3C or DIM include diarrhea, and in some
cases hyperglycemia. Ingesting excessive amounts of cruciferous vegetable have
also been known to sometimes play havoc with your thyroid. So for these
reasons, it is best to let your doctor know about your supplementation, and to
obtain the proper medical tests before and while supplementing.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Should you be unable to find
a naturopath skilled in the use of I3C within your immediate area, you may want
to contact <a href="http://www.drneilmckinney.ca/"><b>Dr. Neil McKiney</b></a></span>.<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> Located in Victoria, BC, he has written several books
on natural cancer treatment, and often uses a prescription of 600 mg of I3C per
day divided in two doses with his patients to inhibit androgen receptors and
impede cancer’s transition to bones. Everyone’s body is different. Your
situation will be unique, so contacting a medical professional in the know who
can provide support is always worthwhile. </span></div>

Steve in Seattlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13160411452466764999noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970565033282960478.post-50646988662063841202015-06-17T13:06:00.000-07:002015-06-17T13:06:14.723-07:00What’s Holding Back the Prostate Cancer Cure?<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">As I go through my own trials
and treatment with prostate cancer, there has been a nagging question in the
back of my mind. Why, with all the research and new developments, with the billions
spent on treatment and millions on research, with the over 27,000 men who will
die this year just in the U.S., are we not proceeding faster toward a prostate
cancer cure?</span>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Certainly it’s not for lack research.
Taking a look at the vast volume of prostate cancer research from around the
world there are abundant possibilities for cures. There are even recorded
instances of individuals curing themselves using modified non-approved
procedures and treatment plans developed from new scientific discoveries. Then
there are the treatments that have years of successes from other areas around
our world that have not gained acceptance in the U.S. There are even medically
approved procedures in the U.S. that are still unavailable to the million
prostate cancer patients. One has to as why? What is holding these curative
procedures back from reaching the patients?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><b>When looking at prostate
cancer on a global basis, our lack of progress does not appear to be from a
failure to innovate. It appears to come from a failure to initiate, or better
yet, from a failure to implement new promising treatments and discoveries.</b> I
have thought about this for a long time, and my only conclusion is that this
burying of healing options is profit driven, both on a micro and
macro scale. Let me provide some examples. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Recently I wanted to obtain a
test called a Circulating Tumor Cell-Prostate, or CTC. Many patients and
doctors do not even know this test exists. Yet, it has been around for a long
time. Clinical data from 26 independent prospective studies involving more than
2,800 patients have been published in more than 100 peer-reviewed publications
that validate the clinical performance and value of the test. From 2010 to 2012
alone, more than 85,000 U.S. patients and their oncologists used this test to
better understand the progression of disease and make more informed treatment
decisions. Based on tests at the University of Texas researchers discovered
that the presence of 5 or more circulating tumor cells had the highest
predictive value compared to all other tumor markers. The researchers further stated,
“Circulating tumor cells have superior and independent prognostic value in determining
future treatment.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Doctors at Columbia
University in New York discovered that CTC testing can predict which men with
prostate cancer are likely to benefit from surgery. They determined that CTC
status was superior to PSA levels and Gleason score at predicting potential
surgical failure. This information is paramount in determining the course and
timing of future treatments of prostate cancer. It not only can predict which
treatments may be most effective, it also can provide a benchmark to let one
know if current treatments are successful; and if one’s prostate cancer is
staying in remission.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">So highly thought of for its
place in the treatment of prostate and other cancers, the Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services (CMS) established a national payment rate for the
interpretation code. This demonstrates the increasing evidence of the clinical
utility of CTC testing, in conjunction with other testing methods, as a
predictor of overall and progression-free survival. So the test is Medicare
approved.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Recently, now that I’ve
reached the age of Medicare, I wanted a follow-up to the CTC test I had over a
year ago. For that initial test I had to educate my doctor about its existence,
and then pay for it in full when my insurance company declined coverage
declaring the CTC test as investigational. This time around, I had my primary
care doctor order the test and seek pre-approval from insurance for payment.
Once again I was declined insurance coverage saying the test was
investigational, and that I needed a Urology Specialist to build a case for the
order rather than my primary care doctor. Remember Medicare covers the test. So
I started searching for an Urologist to order the test. What I discovered was both
frightening and disheartening.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Of the reportedly top prostate
urologists in my area, approved by my insurance company for coverage, none were
using the CTC test in their practice. Many said they did not know of the test’s
existence, and one went on to say they saw no value for the test in their
practice. Yet every one of these doctors would heartily recommend giving you a
blind biopsy on a regular basis. So here we have a well-documented test,
approved by Medicare, yet doctors supposedly in the know as experts in their
fields are not taking advantage of the test. Why? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Again the answer comes down
to money. What is the first thing most doctors do at this level? They
specialize. Their specialty could be surgery, radiation, chemo or cryo, or any
number of niche procedures within similar avenues. Now there are over a million
men with prostate cancer living in the U.S. and over 220,000 adding to the list
each year. So these specialists have no shortage of patients. In fact, just try
calling one of these doctors to arrange a non-billable interview to see if you
like their form of treatment. Most likely, you will never get past the financial
receptionist.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Here is the simple truth.
Doctors are so overwhelmed with prostate cancer patients right now they have
all they can do just to keep up with there current case load, procedures, and
testing without adding something new to the mix. And with patient appointments
billing out at $400 to $500 per 30-minute or less visits, there is simply no
profit in learning a new procedure or test and having to evaluate it for
yourself. Then there is the insurance hassle. Doctors know exactly what
insurance will cover based on their history of insurance payments. Why bother
to fight with the insurance companies for tests and procedures not previously
performed? Their plate is already full with easy insurance payments. The financial
return for new procedures is simply not worth it. Because of this, they rely on
generally accepted methods of practice, never looking outside their box, or
narrow area of practice.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Add to this the difficulty of
getting any new drug or procedure approved for cancer treatment in the U.S., or
for that matter in most countries around the world. It is a very long and
arduous process, often taking 5 to 10 years and costing tens of millions of
dollars. This is one reason that natural cures that are not patentable will
never make it to the doctor approved standards of practice list. There simply
is no financial return and the cost of doing the testing is too expensive. Our
system is setup so only the most expensive drugs make it to the doctor’s
doorstep, while natural affordable cures are left for private experimentation.
That does not mean the natural cures are less valuable. In fact, they often
have better results that the laboratory created products, but they have not been
through the years of documentation and testing. So what doctor wants to provide
a product to their patient that is not on the official approved list? What
doctor wants to offer a product or procedure, that although may provide better
results, could open them to a lawsuit, medical sanctions, or more hassles with
their insurance and the patient’s insurance company? Again it comes down to
money and return on investment.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">And what would happen if
there were cheap drugs, an affordable pill, to cure cancer? Would it make it to
the market? This is actually a tough question. World wide prostate cancer is a
$50 Billion dollar market. In the U.S. there are over 1,000,000 prostate
biopsies done each year. Think of all the doctors and support staff put out of
work if we had an affordable cure for cancer. We would have financial collapse
if a cure were dropped on the market. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Just take a look at a simple nutritional
product used today and review the recent announcement that <a href="http://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm372915.htm"><b>trans fat would finally be banned in U.S.</b></a> products because it is creating disease. Did you also
hear those making the announcement say in the same breath that they would allow
3 years for the trans fat to be phased out, and manufacturers could file for
exceptions to this ruling? Kind of makes you wonder. Trans fat bad, killing people,
and we are still allowing 3 years plus additional exceptions. Why? Because of the
economic impact! Just think what would happen with an affordable cancer cure,
and the vast economic impact that would have on our economy. Could it be there
is a financial reason non-patentable and affordable cancer curative drugs never
are found in the realm of established allopathic medical practices? What might
they do to the revenue form expensive current procedures?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Now I know I have taken some
broad strokes with this discussion, yet the simple truth remains, if you take a
look at all the promising prostate cancer research, and treatments from around
the world, there is so much more we could be doing to cure prostate cancer if it wasn't for the profit motives holding us back.
There is so much more that our doctors could be doing today, that they are
unaware of, or haven’t taken the time to learn.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">We could focus more research
and provide treatment applications using PectaSol, PSP and PSK from Turkeytail,
Tocotrienols, Artemisinin with Transferrin, Black Seed Oil, EGCG, Maitake,
Melatonin, Marijuana, Progesterone, Thymoquine, Indol-3-Carbinol, and so many
more. We could take a better look at treatments such as SPDT, Hyperthermia,
Immunotherapy with Immune Modulators like Thymogen. And we can expand mandatory
insurance coverage for Oncoblot, PHI, CTC, C-11 Choline and C-11 Acetate Tests,
plus adding insurance coverage for NanoKnife and Focal Laser Ablation.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">If we are to cure prostate
cancer, it is time we did away with the self-imposed financial restrictions and
started looking at 'all' curative options. With the hundreds of thousands of men annually
dying around the world of this deadly disease, isn’t it time we took off the financial
restrictions to finding the cure, and started making every possible option
available?</span></div>

When I was diagnosed with prostate cancer I knew little of
cancer. I felt terrified from the horror stories I'd heard, and found myself
looking at the stark reality of my own mortality. It's not a good feeling, when
you're forced to peer into the abyss.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As I started researching, hope began to arise. The more I
learned, the more I understood I have options and I can rise above this
condition. Then came the thought, could I share my knowledge to ease others'
fears? Could I jump-start their healing process so they could hit the ground
running, without wasting time, feeling more confident about next decisions? And
what if, there were ways to even prevent the pain and expense of prostate
cancer? What a gift it would be to help others to avoid the challenges I'm
facing. With these thoughts, Release Prostate Cancer Now! was born.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Release Prostate Cancer Now! is not only for men. When a man
dies of prostate cancer, often his widow and children are left behind to face
devastating loss and exorbitant medical costs. It's time we put an end to all
this pain.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Focused on prostate cancer, yet applicable to most forms of
cancer for men and women, <b>this book will put you light years ahead of those
trying to make minimally informed life-altering decisions</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">. The book begins with one simple question,
"What if there exists a way to avoid cancer in your lifetime?" and
then proceeds with positive solutions for healing.</span></div>

Steve in Seattlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13160411452466764999noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970565033282960478.post-64866362846270185672014-11-07T13:55:00.000-08:002014-11-20T20:02:47.808-08:00Movember - Creating Prostate Cancer Awareness<b>Men around the world view this month as ‘Movember’</b>, formerly
November, a time to reflect on men’s health, especially as it concerns Prostate
Cancer, Testicular Cancer, and Mental Health. The idea for Movember was created
by 30 men out of Melbourne, Australia in 2003. It has now touched over 4
million men and women around the world. During the month of Movember, men are
encouraged to grow mustaches to create awareness; becoming essentially walking,
talking billboards for men's health. With guidance from the <a href="http://us.movember.com/about"><b>Movember Foundation</b></a>
each area creates its own events and fundraisers thereby spreading the message.
As a direct result of these worldwide activities, over 800 new men’s health
programs in 21 countries costing $559 million have been implemented.
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So why is Movember so important? Just in the United States in
2014 it’s projected there will be more than 233,000 new cases of prostate cancer, and
29,480 men will die from the disease. Simply put, <b>men in the US have a 1 in 7
chance of being diagnosed with Prostate Cancer</b> during their lifetime. There are
also areas in the US harder hit than others. If you live in many of the
Southeastern United States your chances of having Prostate Cancer are much
greater, and surprisingly Washington State has a higher incidence rate than
many others.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In a global view, the US rates so poorly compared to the
rest of the world. It’s ranked 14<sup>th</sup> in the World for the highest incidence
of Prostate Cancer only beat out by such countries as France, Norway, Sweden,
Australia, Ireland and Switzerland. Considering our level of massive medical
funding this is a poor testament to the direction our country is headed.
Prostate Cancer is rare before the ages of 40, but appears mostly in men over
65. It has about the same incidence as Breast Cancer in the US with 233,000 new
Prostate Cancer cases projected for 2014 versus 235,030 new Breast Cancer cases
projected. It does appear to have a better long-term prognosis than Breast
Cancer. During 2014 it’s projected that 29,480 men will die of Prostate Cancer
versus 40,430 women dying of Breast Cancer. In 2011 there were 2,707,821 estimated
cases of men living with Prostate Cancer within the US. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So why are we allowing this travesty to happen? Make no mistake;
we have choice in the matter. Aside from the Standard American Diet (<b>SAD</b>) that
has been causing crippling obesity and diabetes at skyrocketing rates while
setting the foundation for Prostate Cancer, men just don’t talk about the
disease. It’s as if the word ‘Prostate’ designated something perverse. Or maybe
men are reluctant to discuss their problems with societies pressure to remain
tuff and strong. Heaven forbid someone should say they need help until the last
moment before it’s too late to do anything easy to correct the problem. Then
there is the age factor. The average age a man is diagnosed with Prostate
Cancer is 66. This is often considered by the young, an age where men are less
productive, out of the limelight. So if they can’t be seen or heard, why bother
with trying to help or even discuss a somewhat sexually oriented topic? Why
worry about something that is often years in the future? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What people fail to acknowledge is that each man dying of
Prostate Cancer diminishes our entire society. No longer are we able to rely on
their wisdom and experience gathered over years of life. Nor will they be able
to contribute to their families shared experience in terms of support and love.
Most often when a man dies of Prostate Cancer, a widow is born. This does not
bode well for stability in our society. Then there are the <a href="http://www.nih.gov/news/health/jan2011/nci-12.htm"><b>exorbitant treatment costs</b></a> associated with Prostate Cancer. Annually in the US we spend over $12B with projections running as high as $15B by the year 2020 for Prostate Cancer
Treatment. What do you think numbers like this do to our insurance costs, our economy?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As mentioned before we have choice in the matter. The first
step starts with the open discussion about Prostate Cancer. Here is where the
Movember Foundation becomes so important. They provide the vehicle to get the
word out about Prostate Cancer while funding so many research projects around
the world seeking a cure. Once awareness is created, then we may start to ask
the question, why Prostate Cancer is so out of control in the US compared with
much of the world. Through this process we start to understand that we are able
to reduce the incidence of Prostate Cancer through simple diet and lifestyle
changes. Then we start to look for new, safer ways to diagnose the disease.
Today there are around 750,000 unnecessary or inaccurate Prostate Cancer Biopsies
performed in the US when there already exists a safe approved <a href="http://releaseprostatecancernow.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html"><b>Alternative</b></a>
with a 99.3% accuracy rate. The problem is, although it could save US patients
$1.6B in testing costs with a lot less pain and patient risk, it’s just too new
to be covered by insurance. When
we know more about situations such as this we begin to ask… Why? Why are we
holding back on medical improvements that would help so many? And who really
benefits from retaining the old ways? We may also begin to understand there are
alternative healing approaches that need to be properly explored. Certainly
anything that reduces the pain and suffering of Prostate Cancer is worth
investigating regardless of weather it’s patentable by a drug manufacturer. <b>It
all starts with awareness!</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> When I was
under 45, I never gave Prostate Cancer a thought. In those days it wasn’t even
in the news. Now at 65 and dealing with Prostate Cancer, I wish I knew then
what I know now. Fortunately for our son I still have time to pass the
information on that will change his life for the better. </span><b>This is
Movember’s greatest gift to our society. It’s opened the door to start the
discussion that leads to hope and a healthier future.</b></div>
