RADIATION In the Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2004, Chemotherapy has an average five year survival success rate of just over 2% for all cancers. Dr. Allen Levine, M.D. (The Healing of Cancer), The majority of cancer patients in this country, die because of chemo-therapy which has been documented for over a decade.?
What is Cancer?
By definition, cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. A cell or cluster of cells that is out of control. It has gone haywire and totally confused. Has lost its integrity and health. Every cell has the capacity to become a cancer cell under the right conditions. Cancer is fundamentality connected to mitochondrial dysfunction.
*Johns Hopkins
Mitochondrial dysfunction has been definitively linked to virtually all killer diseases of aging.
The more functional mitochondria you have in your cells, the greater overall health and durability. As we age, our mitochondria degrade and become dysfunctional. Loss of functional mitochondria ultimately leads to a host of debilitating disorders followed by death of the organism. Free radicals cause mutations. The mutations interfere with a normal cell removal process know as APOPTOSIS.

Working Hypothesis:
Dysregulated chronic inflammation caused by life style factors mediate chronic diseases including cancer!
What is Inflammation?
Cornelius Celsus,
a physician in first century Rome:
Linked Inflammation with atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, cancer, asthma, Alzheimers From Heidland A et al, History of Nephrology, 2006 22
Inflammation
Cancers
Hypothesis!
NF-B activation is a major mediator of inflammation in most chronic diseases (including cancer) & inhibition of NF-B can prevent/delay the onset of the chronic diseases!

If someone invented a pill to cut a cancer risk in half, would you take it?
Among 1,000 women, 19 would be expected to develop breast cancer over the next five years but if those women all took tamoxifen, however, 9 of those women would avoid breast cancer Tamoxifen is expected to cause 21 additional cases of endometrial cancer, a cancer of the uterine lining that is typically treatable when caught early. An additional 21 would develop blood clots, 31 would develop cataracts and 12 would develop sexual problems. More than half of the 1,000 women would naturally develop hormonal symptoms like hot flashes, changes in vaginal discharge or irregular periods, tamoxifen would cause those symptoms in about an additional 120 women. Raloxifene, which has been shown to significantly reduce breast cancer risk but with fewer side effects. Although the data has not yet been published, she said the findings appeared to be similar.

To treat/prevent most chronic diseases, we need to dial down but not turn off of multiple, not single gene
Most diseases including cancer is due to dysregulation of multiple genes. Mono-targeted drugs are unlikely to be an effective therapy. Multi-targeted drugs are needed Most natural products are designed for multi-targeting, naturally.

HCG suppresses immunity and promotes cancer. three different types. PHI PHI is the enzyme that channels cells into anaerobic metabolism, or fermentation. CEA CEA is a broad spectrum cancer marker. GGTP GGTP is the most sensitive test for the liver. TSH TSH or thyroid stimulating hormone regulates metabolic rate. DHEA-S DHEA-S is the adrenal anti-stress, pro immunity, longevity hormone.

According to Dr. Kelly, there are a number of warning signs that start as small physical clues before the disease manifests more aggressively.
The Body in Balance Wining the War on Cancer Rule of thumb: Whatever you were doing when you got sick--don't do that anymore. If you want to change the way you feel, you must change the way you live.
Must DO List
Identify food allergies/intolerances Blood type diet Mostly raw, organically grown food Make sure your pH (acid/alkaline) balance is alkaline (7) Get all the essential nutrients:
Minerals Essential fatty acids, omega 3 and 6 oils (avoid hydrogenated oils like margarine and shortening at all costs) Amino Acids Digestive Aids Pancreatic Enzymes Vitamin D
Sleep Exercise
DO NOT List
Avoid:
tobacco alcohol soda preserved and pickled foods SUGAR, cookies, candy, pies, cakes, processed flour unfavorable carbohydrates fast food and processed food
Detoxification
Before any disease can be cured, the waste product and impurities must be cleansed from the body. The sooner this cleansing is done, the sooner the body can begin repairing itself. We have 70 to 100 trillion cells in our bodies. Therefore, we have at least 70 trillion garbage cans. Detox is just as important as nutrition.
7 Channels of Detoxification
Bowel Blood Skin Kidneys Lymphatic System Lung Liver
Detoxification
The Liver is the master gland of detoxification - Proper liver function keeps the heart, the brain, the kidney, and the pancreas disease free
Normal Liver
Fatty Liver
Cirrhosis of Liver
The ANSWER will only be found by putting together all the pieces of the puzzle. We must assess and treat ALL the imbalanced systems:
Nutritional Hormonal Inflammation Immune Toxicity Energy Balancing Oxidative Stress Mind/Body
REVIEW
We have an enemy and its cancer We have to do what it takes to get the body in balance Realize that we are a mind/body/spirit and HAVE to stay positive despite the challenges We have EVERYTHING available to win the war on cancer We create a plan We work the plan Expect the Best
It is more important to know what sort of person has a disease than to know what sort of disease a person has.
-- Hippocrates (460-377 B.C.)
CONCLUSION
Prevention is the most important and reliable cancer fighting tool that exists today. That fact that cancer can be treated and reversed and that it can be detected early and prevented are the most important messages.
