Why the sickness industry’s approach to cancer is such a disaster.<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/header>\n

ROLE OF THE TUMOR<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Cancer and toxicity go together. The role\u00a0of tumors is to store or sequester the toxins to\u00a0a small circumscribed area to keep the poisons\u00a0confined and prevent them from spreading.\u00a0We know that tumors are highly toxic because\u00a0when conventional cancer therapies break up a\u00a0tumor very quickly and suddenly release cellular\u00a0components into the bloodstream (a situation\u00a0referred to as tumor lysis syndrome),1 this disturbance\u00a0releases so much toxicity (or poison)\u00a0that the person may die.<\/p>\n

Researchers noted over twenty-five years\u00a0ago that breast tissue stores toxic chemicals such\u00a0as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). They observed\u00a0elevated levels of PCBs and other chemical\u00a0residues \u201cin fat samples from women with\u00a0cancer, compared with [women] who had benign\u00a0breast disease.\u201d2 Investigators concluded that\u00a0\u201cenvironmentally derived suspect carcinogens\u201d\u00a0likely play a role in the \u201cgenesis of mammary\u00a0carcinoma.\u201d2 Looking at the issue of cancer and\u00a0toxicity from another perspective, an independent\u00a0researcher examined root canals and oral\u00a0infections in nearly four thousand women who\u00a0had lung or breast cancer and found that in 100\u00a0percent of the cases\u2014without a single exception\u2014the oral health problems were on the same\u00a0side of the mouth and body as the cancers.3<\/p>\n

We have known for even longer\u2014nearly\u00a0a century\u2014that populations exposed to toxic\u00a0substances have higher cancer and tumor rates.\u00a0This is especially the case for people living or\u00a0working near, downwind or down river from\u00a0chemical factories, oil refineries, toxic waste\u00a0dumps and other entities that spew poisons. The\u00a0observation is inescapable\u2014people exposed to\u00a0toxins get cancer.<\/p>\n

One of the best books ever written on this\u00a0subject is The Secret History of the War on\u00a0Cancer<\/em> by Devra Davis.4 Dr. Davis wrote that\u00a0in the 1930s, researchers in countries around the\u00a0world (including Argentina, Austria, England,\u00a0France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Scotland, and the\u00a0U.S.) all came to the same conclusion: \u201cWhere\u00a0people lived affected getting cancer.\u201d4<\/p>\n

Like these 1930s researchers, European\u00a0doctors have understood the role of toxicity\u00a0in causing cancer for a long time. Dr. Natasha\u00a0Campbell-McBride, popularizer of the Gut and\u00a0Psychology Syndrome (GAPS) dietary protocol,\u00a0went to medical school in Russia and says, \u201cIn\u00a0Russia and Europe, it was always known that\u00a0toxicity caused cancer; there was no question\u00a0about it\u201d (personal communication, May 2017).\u00a0On the other hand, if you ask an American oncologist\u00a0\u201cWhy did I get cancer?,\u201d the oncologist\u00a0will look at you like a deer in the headlights and\u00a0mumble something about genetic mutations.<\/p>\n

TUMORS COME AND GO<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In most cases, tumors have a limited life\u00a0span. In fact, tumors come and go throughout\u00a0our lives. You may have many tumors today and\u00a0none tomorrow\u2014 if your body is working as it\u00a0should\u2014because you have a natural ability to\u00a0remove toxins. With effective detoxification,\u00a0the tumors are no longer necessary, and your\u00a0body can dissolve, neutralize and eliminate\u00a0them. \u201cSpontaneous remission\u201d is the medical\u00a0term that describes the body\u2019s ability to dissolve\u00a0and excrete tumors, even life-threatening ones.\u00a0The tumors just disappear. Spontaneous remission\u00a0is a well-documented phenomenon in the\u00a0biomedical literature.5,6<\/p>\n

Pathologists find far more tumors and cancers\u00a0in autopsies (such as in victims of auto and\u00a0other accidents) than doctors diagnose in living\u00a0patients in their offices. A 1993 report noted that\u00a0whereas 1 percent of living women between\u00a0ages forty and fifty have \u201cclinically apparent\u00a0breast cancer,\u201d almost two-fifths (39 percent) of\u00a0autopsied women in the same age group show\u00a0evidence of breast cancer.7<\/p>\n

CHEMOTHERAPY HAS IT BACKWARD<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Sadly, there is no guarantee of experiencing\u00a0spontaneous remission. In the modern era,\u00a0it is easy to become overly toxic from repeated\u00a0exposure to internal toxins (endotoxins) and\u00a0external toxins (exotoxins). When we cannot\u00a0detoxify quickly enough, then tumors, although\u00a0necessary, can grow out of control.<\/p>\n

Josef Issels, MD, who recognized that tumors\u00a0are \u201ca late-stage symptom of a generalized\u00a0illness affecting the whole body,\u201d developed one\u00a0of the most successful approaches to address\u00a0cancer.8 He wrote that \u201ca tumor can only develop\u00a0in a diseased organism\u201d and that \u201cthe tumor is\u00a0a symptom of that illness.\u201d8 Operating on the\u00a0premise that \u201coptimal\u201d cancer treatments need\u00a0to have a \u201ccausal\u201d focus, Dr. Issels was able to\u00a0restore many late-stage terminal cancer patients\u00a0to good health.<\/p>\n

The prevailing treatment model of the\u00a0\u201cWar on Cancer\u201d\u2014kill the tumor\u2014is completely\u00a0backward. Attacking a tumor actually\u00a0may cause a kickback effect wherein the body\u00a0struggles harder to keep the tumor functioning.\u00a0The body wants the tumors. Tumors are the\u00a0answer, not the problem.<\/p>\n

In this context, it should come as no surprise\u00a0that studies have found that chemotherapy\u00a0can make tumors more aggressive. In 2012, for\u00a0example, news headlines announced the \u201cshocking\u201d\u00a0and \u201ccompletely unexpected\u201d finding that\u00a0chemotherapy can \u201cbackfire\u201d and make cancer\u00a0worse.9 Reporting on a prostate cancer study\u00a0published in Nature Medicine about \u201ctreatment-induced\u00a0damage to the tumor microenvironment,\u201d\u00a010 the news summary noted that \u201chealthy\u00a0cells damaged by chemotherapy secreted more\u00a0of a protein called WNT16B, which boosts\u00a0cancer cell survival.\u201d9<\/p>\n

A more recent report (July 2017) in Science\u00a0Translational Medicine<\/em> on breast cancer came\u00a0to much the same conclusion, stating that chemotherapy\u00a0promotes circulation of tumor cells\u00a0in the bloodstream.11 In the researchers\u2019 words
\n\u201cchemotherapy, despite decreasing tumor size,\u00a0increases the risk of metastatic dissemination.\u201d11<\/p>\n

It should be readily apparent that the answer\u00a0to a toxic condition is not more toxicity. Chemotherapy\u00a0is highly toxic. That is why courageous\u00a0investigators have been sounding the alarm\u00a0about chemotherapy for many years. A comprehensive\u00a0review in 1992 of chemotherapy clinical\u00a0trials and publications described the success rate\u00a0of chemotherapy as \u201cappalling,\u201d with strong\u00a0evidence pointing to \u201cthe absence of a positive\u00a0effect.\u201d12 In 2004, another major study reviewed\u00a0fifteen years of chemotherapy treatments for the\u00a0most common cancers causing the most deaths;\u00a0the contribution of chemotherapy to five-year\u00a0survival was minimal (about 2 percent).13<\/p>\n

In 2015, researchers reporting on patients\u00a0with end-stage cancer in JAMA Oncology<\/em> concluded\u00a0that \u201cnot only did chemotherapy not benefit\u00a0patients\u2026it appeared most harmful to those\u00a0patients with good performance status.\u201d14 The\u00a0authors cautiously suggested that chemotherapy\u00a0use in patients with terminal cancer \u201cmay need\u00a0to be revised.\u201d14 They also noted that an American\u00a0Society of Clinical Oncology expert panel\u00a0\u201cidentified chemotherapy use among patients for\u00a0whom there was no evidence of clinical value as\u00a0the most widespread, wasteful, and unnecessary\u00a0practice in oncology.\u201d14<\/p>\n

COMPLETE HEALING<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

For complete healing, we must address\u00a0cancer\u2019s causes. What a person diagnosed with\u00a0cancer needs most is a health-promoting lifestyle\u00a0that reduces toxicity, provides nourishment\u00a0and minimizes stress. The goal of health care\u00a0practitioners who want to support full recovery\u00a0should be to locate the causes of the toxicity\u00a0(both internal and external) and work with the\u00a0patient to enhance detoxification, cleansing and\u00a0purification.<\/p>\n

There is a reason why we find evidence\u00a0of detoxification practices such as hot baths,\u00a0saunas, fasting, cleanses, herbs and many other\u00a0practices in every culture throughout humanity\u2019s\u00a0history. If ancient Greeks and Romans and\u00a0native peoples from all over the world could\u00a0understand the need for detoxification\u2014long before\u00a0the advent of the twentieth-century chemical\u00a0industry\u2014shouldn\u2019t modern-day Americans\u00a0recognize its importance as well? As a culture,\u00a0we are far more toxic than any other civilization,\u00a0and we have the diseases to show for it.<\/p>\n

In 2003, I developed a system of working\u00a0with body biofeedback that I now call the Koren\u00a0Specific Technique (KST).15 KST practitioners\u00a0locate and release hidden areas of toxicity and\u00a0stress that other health care professionals often\u00a0miss. Practitioners can use KST with anyone,\u00a0no matter their age or health challenges.<\/p>\n

Nine years ago, when doctors diagnosed a\u00a0close family member with life-threatening brain\u00a0tumors, I used KST along with the detoxification\u00a0and support principles mentioned above\u2014and\u00a0the tumors disappeared.<\/p>\n

The most important thing to remember is\u00a0that cancer is a disease of toxicity. The best way\u00a0to achieve a true cure, therefore, is to address\u00a0this underlying cause. Recognizing that a tumor\u00a0is an ally, not an enemy, makes it possible to\u00a0work to promote its function so it will no longer\u00a0be needed.<\/p>\n

DIETARY PRINCIPLES FOR CANCER PATIENTS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A diagnosis of cancer often serves as a wake-up call to make profound dietary changes. Obviously, the first step is to
\neat nothing but clean food, including pasture-fed animal products, and to avoid all processed foods containing refined\u00a0sweeteners and industrial seed oils. The following foods support detoxification while nourishing the body:<\/p>\n

COD LIVER OIL<\/strong>: Unprocessed cod liver oil provides vitamins A and D in a range of forms. Vitamin A is the vitamin for
\ndetoxification and the first requirement for cancer patients. Vitamin D supports the immune system and works synergistically\u00a0with vitamin A.
\nRAW WHOLE MILK<\/strong>: Raw milk is our best source of glutathione, the body\u2019s master detoxification compound. Plus, raw\u00a0milk provides complete nourishment in a form that is easily digested.
\nGELATIN-RICH BONE BROTH<\/strong>: Glycine in bone broth supports the liver in detoxification.
\nPOULTRY LIVER<\/strong>: Liver from chicken, ducks and geese is an excellent source of vitamin K, which provides strong protection\u00a0against cancer. It works synergistically with vitamins A and D in cod liver oil. Plus, liver is a powerhouse of many\u00a0other important nutrients.
\nBUTTER<\/strong>: Butter is the queen of fats and provides many compounds, specifically CLA, that help protect against cancer.\u00a0Be sure to use butter from grass-fed cows.
\nLACTO-FERMENTED FOODS<\/strong>: Fermented foods provide vitamin C and good bacteria for healthy gut flora.<\/p>\n
