Thank you Doctor.

I disagree with Seyfried’s promoting keto and low carb. Cancer if anything is fed by methionine not sugar. In fact, methionine deficiency can cause cancer to go into remission or entirely disappear. There is an enzyme methioninase that is produced by many microbes that can help the body deplete of methionine, which along with a low animal protein diet can help a great deal. Sadly, in our corrupt system, a company has patented this natural molecule and will gatekeep it and charge a fortune for it.

I have also found that high doses of THC can shrink tumors and virtually cure even metastatic cancer, although probably the person needs to take THC ongoing in maintenance mode, so it isn’t really a cure, but it works very well and if taken in rectal suppositories has almost no side effects.

The reality of the endocannabinoid receptors is that it is the key to the entire immune process, and THC rectally can spread to all cells within minutes and begin reversing the aberrant cancer processes.

Thanks again for your wonderful efforts and this interview and thank you also Dr. Kory for your brave work.

Methionine is one of three protein synthesis limiting amino acids. I’m not sure how we survive without it. Vegans and vegetarians are often deficient in this amino acid primarily supplied by red meat. My experience with these diet choices for the long term are very sick people with weak constitutions and little muscle mass. Seyfried’s protocol did call for glutamine inhibition as an integral part of the success of the metabolic theory.

Yes, but do your vegans acquire cancers? Or are they just miserable until they die?

Expand full comment

Yes Vegans can get Cancer. It is suspected that much of the Vegan Cancer comes from plants grown on fields drenched with Glyphosate (Round-up) which prevents the plant from taking up boron, Iron, zinc and other necessary minerals plus many Vegans bought into the lie that Canola Oil is "healthy' which it is not! It contains Euric Acid which causes Myocardial Lipodosis (fatty infiltrates in the heart muscle). Plus Vegans do not get vitamin B 12 which is not found in plants. (Vegetarians who eat eggs and dairy fare much better in the health and avoiding Cancer.)

It is likely that many Vegans are not strict in only eating true organic non-GMO food which increases their chances of cancer.

There are always those annoying trade-offs.

Expand full comment

You can’t survive without it. It’s difficult to get it low enough. But with a primarily plant based diet, you can sometimes get methionine down to around 1.5g, which should help limit the growth of cancer to some degree.

Another reason seyfried’s keto diet works is because it lowers deuterium. Check out Dr Laszlo Boros who has talked about the metabolic roots of cancer and deuterium for many years. Dr Petra Davelaar has some good videos about cancer and deuterium.https://vimeo.com/793832829

Well, that would mean that a large part of the population of India would be sick and weak . . . from what i have seen i don't think that is the case, except perhaps with those too poor to acquire sufficient food.

Expand full comment

I don’t know anything about India but one of my mentors used to say it takes a population about 12 generations to adapt to a new food supply. Western man is built on a meat building block. 300,000 years of homosapiens hunted and gathered. Only since

Egyptians 10k years ago have we been farming and according to Dr. Michael Eades, the Paleo diet doc, who started to look at these changes, that’s when diseases of modern man began.

Still, like AMD said, the primary thing is to get the processed food and the chemicals out so if you succeed with vegetarianism, more power to you. The 10 years I was vegetarian did not work for my health.

VA this study addresses your point I think. Fascinating subject. N of 1: As a descendant of Northern Europeans/Scandinavians I thrive on diet high in saturated fat, animal protein and moderate carbohydrates - none high glycemic or "simple." I cannot tolerate large amounts of vegetables or fruits.

<< Cancer is fed by methionine not sugar

Seriously? There's a lot of people that say otherwise. Actual sugar or fruit sugars/fructose/glucose? Was Dr Max Gerson wrong too?

Expand full comment

Yes they say otherwise and they are quite wrong. Gerson has had very mixed results. The “cancer loves sugar” is a tired trope and incorrect. There is zero evidence for it. But lots of evidence that cancer loves methionine.

Expand full comment

Agree with Gerson comment but evidence for "cancer loves sugar" can, to me, be as simple as looking at a PET scan - that is how we find and monitor cancer - i.e. where the radiolabelled glucose uptake is most concentrated

Expand full comment

I'm thinking it would be more correct to say that cancer loves glucose, and this is evidenced through PET scans. The reason some other approaches work even though they prescribe fruit is that cancer cells may not metabolize fructose the same way as glucose. If cancer is a metabolic disease this is important. I am thinking along these lines because when my mother was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer in 2008 the only people out there besides those Cancer Treatment Centers of America, which are integrative, were Gerson and Johanna Budwig, and her approach using flax seed oil/cottage cheese, lightly steamed veggies and some fruit was more compelling to me, and referred more directly to the metabolic/oxygen related causes. My mother would take what I made for her. Our biggest mistake was to do a round of chemo, which almost killed her and ruined the rest of her life. We had done cyber knife radiation, which eliminated all the pain until the very day we did the chemo. Today, if I were diagnosed I'd start with antifungals and antiparasiticals such as ivermectin and then go from there. I LOVE this material. It's vitally important.

Is that not perhaps because it is more metabolically active than surrounding tissue? Forgive my ignorance, but can our body produce glucose from other sources, or only from ingestion of sugars?

Expand full comment

Everyone is wrong about many things, they are called false beliefs.

The question is whether there is willingness for admission.

Why you couple this to M Gerson is interesting when the article has many recs that

the venerable Dr. G would have frowned upon.

One simple fact. Fast growing malignant cell lines (turbo cancerns) have highly increased metabolic activity. Those cells require food.

The main component of the Gerson therapy is 12 oz of organic vegetable juice every hour on the waking hour 12x a day. Has that been improved upon???

No question that CBD oil, a component of which is THC, is relatively cheap and useful

for a spectrum of issues, malignancy included.

PET scans are very expensive, Oncologists tend to not order them. Then are very stubborn upon request without explanation.

Over $20K out of pocket. Last one I reviewed was negative. Weeks later the patient ( a frail elderly woman) died with advanced metastatic disease. That was the "story"

Will not specualate further, except to disclose that hospital refused to eat the cost...

CBD does not contain THC.

2 diff products, same plant.

If you want CBD you actually have to grow CBD plants (hemp). If you want THC, you have to grow THC plants (cannabis).

I have seen studies on THC's effect on cancers in vitro, and testimonies in vivo (Rick Simpson comes to mind). I haven't seen any studies on CBD and cancer, though I believe it is valuable (even without the THC) on it's own.

IT’s a tough one. I find very few such studies. There are numerous ones that are test tube studies and a few rodent studies. I go to https://www.CannabisHealthRadio.com and listen to some of the interviews that catch my interest. I interviewed Corey Yellen last year. Very good people and there are hundreds of case studies here, all anecdotal. I have anecdotal evidence from about 200 different people I’ve corresponded with on Facebook and X who have personally gotten rid of cancer this way, and a few who have done so with their dogs or cats.

Expand full comment

I do not wish to be providing repeated commentary, but you asked for it.

In premedical studies at a university where a major cancer research Institute coincided, I often found myself straying from my ordained studies to investigate a wide array of information. In the medical school library circa 1970, I found a meta-study of cancer reporting that at least 80 to 90% of cancer was due to environmental toxicity. The conclusion of this study was that we must spend more money on developing vaccines to prevent us from getting cancer from the environmental toxins. At that time I even thought this as a viable solution.

A few decades later in a conversation with Candace Pert (Molecules of Emotion and some status in the NIH) she cited a more recent meta-study indicating that 70 to 80% of cancer was due to environmental toxicity. WOW!

My simple question is why all of the emphasis on drugs and therapies to counteract a condition that may well be due to toxins in the environment. Consider the investigations and research of Fritz Albert Popp PhD on this very subject as well as those of Royal Rife PhD.

Furthermore, some seem to have an at version to detoxification. Personally, I do not get it? Referencing the Hippocrates Institute and their success rate with cancer patients.

Why is the continuing emphasis placed upon counteracting the disease instead of addressing the foundational causes? While I could go on for many hours on the subject, I will stop For now.

I realize my training was eventually focused on chiropractic which is a healing system focused on the causes of disease rather than counteracting the symptoms, but may be a paradigm shift is appropriate.

I have a theory on Royal Rifes observations that is more credible than the frequency theory.

I do not know if he understood why but I believe many of his Rife Resonator with Plasma Tube cures could be laid at the doorstep of UVB therapy seeing as increased Vitamin-D3 has been known to help with almost all disease due to deficiency. Many indoor people in high latitudes are woefully deficient and if that is the only cause of their disease correcting it will often resolve the disease. The frequency is a red herring and he may or may not have understood the value was in the UVB light. The frequencies are not defined in any repeatable way and have never been reproduced though with modern tech it would be trivial to establish them if they did work.

https://vitamindwiki.com/Proof+that+Vitamin+D+Works

As for his elaborate microscopes he was a pioneer and made use of UV illumination through various specialty material lenses if I remember correctly. These lenses unlike glass would have passed UVC light to his samples from the plasma globe of his generator and killed the microbes through the now well known sterilization effect. His claims to being able to view viruses is unsupported but he could certainly have been able to detect the death of microbes due to UVC irradiation.

Expand full comment

I have done a lot of work with Rife technology and hold a differing opinion here.

Expand full comment

You are one of my favourite SubStackers so I am interested to hear a little more.

Vitamin-D3 is known to help with disease, Rife frequency generators claim to be frequency specific but so far I have not heard of any results that actually can be reproduced that work because of a specific frequency. It would be perhaps not trivial but quite achievable to run a test with a set of bacteria cultures and couple (using sound, electric, electromagnetic fields) at frequency from a generator to see which frequency suddenly or eventually causes die off. In fact it would be easy to automate it and have it triple blinded ( :-) )where not even the observation computer knows what the frequency is until the test is complete.

The few times I have investigated Rife technology over the years in the hope of constructing apparatus that conforms to the original specifications I have eventually reached the same dead end. The frequencies were not selected in any repeatable way, they were a 'comb' of frequencies (harmonics) that were mixed with a carrier. Those who have accurately repeated the generation of the tests have nothing to show for it.

Another anecdotal point that I feel is very compelling is that even though there are thousands of digital electronic device designs in the world with almost as many system clocks and sub system clocks with harmonics plastered everywhere in the electromagnetic spectrum from the exceedingly fast rise times of the digital signals there are NO REPORTS of some (class of) device that prevents or cures even ONE pathogenic disease condition. We hear quite the reverse though mostly also still anecdotal that various frequencies (at sufficient field strengths) are able to cause metabolic harm to sensitive individuals that you have also described. Where are the success cases.

In the same way that Rife machines may work I believe Radionic machines work, they are guided faith healing and it is a focus system for other ethereal energies and healing modalities, sort of a technical Reiki system that uses personal faith to channel healing benefits.

I have tried to approach this from many directions and I have yet to find any evidence that specific frequencies have notable healing powers. Chanting of "Ommmm" and such are also supposed to achieve results but again if it was just the sound then it could be tested, refined, repeated, bottled and sold on the alternative healing market with increasing number of referrals. Sound healing is also I believe activation of our innate healing powers and augmented in large measure by placebo/metaphysical/faith healing.

The interview with Pierre Kory was most interesting and I cannot find fault with the reasoning there either. My thanks to you both.

In any event I would love to hear if you have found any results of a repeatable demonstration that pathogens are frequency selective repeating such results would convince many people as well as myself.

Expand full comment

I will write an article on them in the future.

Expand full comment

I have no doubt your theory has much merit and suspect the ultimate truth is complex, diverse and convoluted. A problem I have is with the many positive clinical experiences. Rife's specific frequencies have much to be desired and the writings of James Bare (Resonant Light) explain much.

I have looked to publish some of my clinical cases, but the reporting mechanisms are quite restrictive. For example, one report consisting of 6 cases was rejected for the absence of an IRB (Inpependent review board) approval PRIOR to application of treatments. I have published but a simple case study requires 60-80 hours of effort. Prohibitive for a lowly practitioner.

Expand full comment

I feel for you , still if there was a mechanistic way that the frequencies did something it should be possible to demonstrate it. If it is just guided faith healing or something else then that should be determined.

I do not doubt that UVB treatment can help a lot of people because it has been used and has clear reasons for working. However generating a frequency only costs a few tens of dollars these days (a Software Defined Radio and RF amplifier is most of a Rife machine) and if it actually cured ANY disease by setting it to any one or more frequencies and using delivery methods of choice it should be demonstrateable. Testing it on non lethal diseases should be possible with permission similar to how some positive results have been found when treating minor infections I seem to recall. I can neither justify how homeopathy works but saying it is a chemical process when the chemical is so dilute it cannot be measured is stretching the imagination as well. Take three cohorts where everyone has two minor conditions that are tractable to Rife treatment. Frequency A, B or none. See if the statistics show ANYTHING.

I would love to have a simple test that can be repeated by suitably kitted out researchers that shows how a specific frequency kills one type of bacteria on a plate and leave another unharmed and a different frequency does the opposite on another plate. Imagine how much popular support the therapy would receive if such a repeatable experiment existed.

My issue is that many healing modalities are on the etheric energy level, I don't know how they work but they seem to. Yet pretending they are chemical or technical in nature basically makes the prop into snake oil.

I so want it to work but cannot see how and no one else has been able to demonstrate it so far, soon I hope.

Yes, the evidence for energetic therapies is in great need of authentication. May never happen. I have looked for decades and not finding compelling concrete evidence.

ADDITION: I forgot to include that in contrast to the missing positive experiences with random exposure to frequencies the opposite is known to have happened with a couple of industrial chemicals. I think it was DMSO producers that were reported to have reduced number of was it liver spots or melanoma from casual exposure to the product in shipping and drum filling. There was another non patent product that has a similar discovery but it eludes me now.

The popular off label uses of drugs are much easier to document because the specific substance is documented and if a unrelated condition is cured the effects can be investigated.

Amazing interview and equally amazing conversations so far in these comments section. I am not from medicine, but an organic chemist, with some reading/knowledge interest in medicine. I find this reading very thought provoking. I hope that someday soon, with these dedicated efforts, very good repurposed medicine protocols will emerge for treating various cancers, safely, securely, inexpensively and almost irrevocably. I am glad that after Covid, cancer has drawn the attention of many of you. Next in line should be auto immune diseases and conditions. You have all put repurposing drugs on top of the map for this century. I have a gut feeling that the 2000-3000 odd established drugs we have today in use, some for decades, have immense multi indication potential. 21st century medical research must unravel this potential for the benefit of generations to come.

I appreciate this experiment with a different format. As the world has become increasingly polarized, I’ve found myself gravitating towards calm, conversational-style interviews (e.g., Rogan, Tucker, Brett Weinstein and others) because they remind me of the civilized discourse that took place all the time in my not-too-distant past…usually around a dinner table. To listen to (or in this case read) a discussion between two mature people on a topic of interest to me where they navigate their differences constructively is a welcome reminder that it’s still possible for people to communicate this way. It’s not a totally lost art. Also, in some cases they dare to say some things out loud that many of us may be thinking but keeping to ourselves in an effort to keep the peace after all the covid drama. I often find it cathartic when they (or you) manage to pierce those veils of silence. Thank you for your bravery to put it all out there knowing that the criticisms will inevitably come.

I think Seyfried makes a compelling case for metabolic approaches to treating cancer. I used to work for the brilliant alternative treatment doctor Stanislaw Burzynski, who had the interesting theory that the currently-dominating "military" model of cancer treatment arose from the spectacular success of antibiotic therapy. But, he pointed out, cancer cells are not outside invaders like bacteria but, rather, the patient's own cells gone awry. Therefore, he reasoned, the military model was doomed to failure. His own cancer treatment, antineoplastons, worked by "reprogramming" errant cells with the correct information - or at least that was his theory.

My sense is that prior to the military approach, the focus was on the metabolic approach. A fantastic book about the history of the metabolic approach, focusing on Otto Warburg, is Ravenous by Sam Apple.

That's amazing. I've read about Burzynski but never met someone who worked with him. I'd love to know what you saw.

Expand full comment

Well I was there from 1994 to 1997, which included the time when he was raided by the FDA/Justice Department and he and his corporation were both indicted on identical 75-count indictments. I sat through the entire 2 federal criminal trials, the first having ended with a hung jury. In the end he was found not guilty on all counts.

As for cancer treatment, the original antineoplastons were isolated from urine, and they were by all accounts incredibly active, very effective. But he couldn’t get large quantities of urine. He made a deal with a nearby naval base to get theirs but in the end the Navy was afraid someone would test the cadets’ urine for drugs, and the deal was scrapped. Of course the “dirty urine doctor” angle was used against him, much like the “horse dewormer” angle on ivermectin.

Eventually he figured out how to synthesize antineoplastons, although the synthetic ones were never as effective as the natural ones isolated from urine. But they were found particularly effective against brain tumors, including otherwise-untreatable brainstem gliomas, and he had many pediatric brain tumor cases, and a fair number of successes, given the poor prognosis.

My subjective impression was that every week I would see 1-5 “miracle” successes. It was a very busy clinic so this wasn’t a super-high percentage, but it was 1-5 successes that conventional therapy would not have produced, and a disproportionate number were children. Some ended up being durable responses, some not. But without question his approach had tremendous merit and joins the long list of promising but quashed cancer treatments. I haven’t been in touch with the Burzynskis for years and don’t know what they’re up to today.

Expand full comment

Some Burzynski patients were on 10-12 grams of sodium phenylbutyrate orally daily. Sodium phenylbutyrate is a prodrug and is converted into sodium phenylacetate in the body and that is the active drug. Sodium phenylacetate is a great glutamine binder to stop the glutamine feed for certain cancers.

Wow! Thank you for sharing your experience. I cannot remember the name of the famous person in India who used to drink his own morning urine and used to say it keeps his brain sharp . Since you mentioned anti neoplastons were isolated from urine in the Burzinski clinics, its another tool that I would want to look into . As AWD alludes , there are various tools in the toolbox for many conditions and one tool doesn’t work for everyone …and we should be “ allowed “ to discuss various options not just blindly following what has been “ fed” to us by the mainstream authorities . Mainstream will say oh now you want your patients to drink urine and make you look a quack … but there could be ways to extract what you need from the urine and this concept could be a tool in the box for patients with brain tumors as you also noticed in your few years working there . The problem is these observations are so suppressed , ridiculed and buried by the cancer industry so we never really get to know the true data . At least now after the covid fiasco, so much more awareness has come to light about the extent of the corruption and corporate control in medicine. hopefully there will be less ridicule for those trying to find creative solutions to help people who are on deaths door and also those altruistic providers won’t feel so isolated as they realize they are not alone . Note: I did watch the burzinski documentary few years ago on the cancer cure cover up and it was a real eye opener. Fascinating to hear from someone who actually worked in his clinic . Thank you .

A friend of mine was on antineoplastons for 2 years at great expense (and stink), and it did not do anything. This was for follicular lymphoma. My sense was that Burzynski did not really want a true and solid trial. (Which is not to say that a true and solid trial would have been permitted.)

Expand full comment

He did. In 1994 he agreed to a trial to test antineoplastons in glioblastoma at Memorial Sloan Kettering. The protocol called for tumors less than I think 3cm, at least 3 months life expectancy, and a few more. Then MSK started systematically violating every provision, accepting patients with huge tumors, on the brink of death, with the excuse that patient accrual was too slow. After that Burzynski was understandably cautious about trusting anyone but yes, he definitely was open to an honest trial.

Great topic. There was an ND who got sued by the TN AMA several years ago for a million dollars for "practicing medicine without a license."

They're crazy... Even with the METRICS protocol they throw in crap like atorvastatin. Why? For what benefit? Was it possibly to sabotage the results, but it couldn't overcome the positives of the other drugs?

Statins are bad, period, end stop.

Why did they put that in there? It's like McCullough putting tamiflu in his bird flu kit with TWC.

Is this science anymore?

Apparently not, because they won't even use cheap safe things like the vitamin C sepsis protocol. The irony that doctors don't trust oncologists for their own family cancer issues is hilarious.

My view of cancer is from terrain theory and it makes a lot of sense. When the body cannot eliminate toxins and dead matter via normal pathways, it tries to go through the skin (pox, etc) and if that's not happening it gets turned into cancer, aka garbage bags of collected crap.

Elimination pathways are also disturbed by metabolic issues, so it coincides with the metabolic theory of cancer.

I cured a full thickness macular hole in my retina with 4-6 g per day of liposomal vit c (the diarrhea tapers off after a while), Lutein 40 mg and vit d 5000 . It took 6 months. My retinologist kept saying first time he ever saw it and he doesn't understand what happened.

So no eye drops, only vitamin therapy?

I ask because my (vaxxed) son has developed an autoimmune disease called Necrotizing Scleritis.

His eye was saved by an opthalmologist who prescribed high doses of a steroid (prednisone) and his rheumatologist prescribed an immunosuppresant "cancer drug"

which cause side effects.

I have tried to urge him to try dmso eye drops but he is not open to "alternative" treatments at all. 😭

Anyway, thank you for posting this anecdote.

What does signaling pathways have to do with cancer?

Are you still thinking that cancer is some kind of intelligent thing? The metabolic theory and terrain theory see cancer as the result of damage.

"One of the things that’s extremely unfair about integrative oncology is that patients typically only seek it out once conventional therapies have completely failed them and they are expected to die in the immediate future."

Absolutely. A friend begged help for a friend's cancer since they saw me as a medical guru ever since I started reading "The Forgotten Side of Medicine". I dug up the Joe Tippens protocol with fenben and ivermectin and before I handed off the research my intuition prompted me to say, "As long as they're not going to die, like, this week the recommendation should bear fruit in a few weeks". They thanked me and two days later it turned out their friend died. They hid their hospice impending death prognosis from everyone, including the friend who reached out to me, and only sought help once doctors told them they were already dead.

The modern paradigm surrounding cancer is one giant racket. It dwarfs what happened in Auschwitz, and is happening every day in America and around the industrialized world.

First of all, it reflects the complete disregard to the role of consciousness in disease, and alternatively in the healing process. Second, it reveals the absolute lack of any emotional intelligence amongst institutionalized medical practitioners.

I have always intuitively understood that cancer prognosis is oftentimes more detrimental than the actual condition. It’s the prognosis that can often hasten the decay.

The word ‘cancer’ has garnered such a negative charge in the consciousness field, oftentimes more detrimental to what actually is happening within the body. The moment the “almighty (false) god” (doctor) says “you have cancer” - it’s like a ton of bricks dropped on one’s head.

From that moment on that person, as well as their family and their closest circle - all of them hold onto an invisible cloud as an information charge. And so oftentimes what we get is the hastening of decay and sickness in spite of our good intention, because that information cloud interferes with the healing process.

This predicament is always favorable to institutionalized medicine, however. In this way it is able to continue its profitable business that feeds off of death and misery.

One of the potentially hilarious, if it were not so tragic, aspects of modern manipulation of the cancer game is the statement, "We got the cancer, but lost the patient." But as with most of Western medicine, attacking a tumor has nothing to do with curing the disease, but suppressing its symptoms. When oncologists talk about how successful their treatment is, it is nearly always in terms of how responsive the tumor is.

Cancer patients hear the hopeful news that their type of tumor usually has a high response rate to the treatment proposed. Sure, the tumor responds. It is being attacked, but the attack is similar to America’s attacks on Iraq during the 1990s: most of the bombs miss the target and cause "collateral damage." When people undergoing chemotherapy lose their hair and have other maladies, that is "collateral damage."

.

DOCTORS OF HISTORY ABOUT CANCER

Let’s see what did the great doctors of history have to say about attacking cancer tumors. From the book 'Medical Dark Ages', I obtained these quotes:

"It is better not to apply any treatment in cases of occult cancer; for if treated (by surgery), the patients die quickly; but if not treated, they hold out for a long time." - Hippocrates, (460-370 BCE).

(Advanced cancer is)" irritated by treatment; and the more so the more vigorous it is."

"Some have used caustic medicaments, some the cautery, some excision with a scalpel; but no medicament has ever given relief; the parts cauterized are excited immediately to an increase until they cause death."

"After excision, even when a scar has formed, nonetheless the disease has returned, and caused death; while ...the majority of patients, although no violent measures are applied in the attempt to remove the tumor, but only mild applications in order to sooth it, attain a ripe old age in spite of it." - Celsus, (1st century CE).

"When [a tumor] is of long standing and large, you should leave it alone. For myself have never been able to cure any such, nor have I seen anyone else succeed before me." – Abu’l Qasim, (936-1013 CE).

"It should be forbidden and severely punished to remove cancer by cutting, burning, cautery, and other fiendish tortures. It is from nature that the disease comes, and from nature comes the cure, not from physicians." - Paracelsus, (1493-1541 CE).

The same mentality was held by the Hawaiian kahunas. The kahuna lore stated that "If it is (cancer), do not treat it."

The medicine of Benjamin Rush in America's 18th century was diametrically opposed to such a sentiment. He wrote that one of the “Vulgar Errors in Medicine” was to “let tumors alone.”

I am also particularly fond of the way Aajonus Vonderplanitz has described cancer and its role in the body.

From “We Want to Live!”:

“My research and experience has brought me to view cancer as a condition where the body no longer eliminates dead cells, for various reasons. So the malfunctioning body develops tumors, or catacombs, so to speak, and contains the dead cells within them. Cancer cells are only the caretakers of the catacombs. They are not the problem that created the inability to eliminate dead cells. Does a rooster crowing at sunrise cause the sun to rise?

“Cancer, then, is basically a fat deficiency. A deficiency in utilizable cholesterol that normally binds with or dissolves, carries away and eliminates dead cells.”

“A fat deficiency forms when a person stops eating fat; or a person doesn’t eat the particular fat his or her body digests, assimilates or utilizes properly; or the body is unable to digest, utilize or assimilate fat at all. Therefore the body becomes as much a vessel for death as for life.”

.

.

SUPRESSION OF ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS

Basically, the vast suppression of so-called “alternative” treatments over the last hundred years or more, is typical of the cancer racket. But many do not know that many “conventional” treatments started as “alternative”.

First, the orthodoxy does all it can to suppress the treatment and the person who invented it. Then, after it has been suppressed and vanished, they suddenly change course and embrace it, while propagandizing to the public that they had in fact discovered it.

Today, there are basically three legal ways to treat cancer in America: surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. The second legal way to treat cancer, however, which was discovered in the 1890s, was initially suppressed.

With surgery coming into vogue, it became a monopoly as a way to treat cancer. The surgeons controlled medicine, and they regarded the X-ray as a threat to surgery. At the time surgery was the only approved method of treating cancer. They meant to keep it the only approved method by ignoring or rejecting any new methods or ideas.

Dr. Emil Grubbé discovered X-ray therapy (for cancer) in 1896. X-ray was not recognized as an agent for treating cancer by the American College of Surgeons until 1937. Dr. Grubbé, still was not recognized as late as 1951.

Chemotherapy came directly from World War II chemical warfare experiments. Using chemicals to treat cancer had been around since Paracelsus, but the chemicals killed the patients more often than not, since they were based on arsenic, lead, and other deadly substances.

In the early 20th century, chemical treatments and finding the “magic bullet” to kill cancer cells became an intensive area of study. In the 1930s, chemotherapy research was noted for its deadly and barbaric effects, and those who used surgery and radiation battled against chemotherapy.

World War II was a watershed in the use of chemicals. DDT was first used during World War II, the Nazis invented nerve gasses, the allies invented napalm and nuclear weapons, and the notion of “better living through chemistry” became entrenched due to the experience of World War II.

The racketeering impulse has been with Western medicine for many years and is deeply embedded today. The rise of the Western medical paradigm coincided with the rise of the corporation and new kinds of empires. The reason that American medical doctors are the highest-paid professionals on Earth is not because they perform valuable work.

They are merely technicians in what is arguably the West's greatest racket, in which life and death is in the hands of the world's most lucrative professions and industries. The fact that only violent methods of cancer treatment are legal is no accident.

Something like 60% of all the medical service dollars that Americans consume in their lifetimes is “consumed” in the last months of life, and almost no medical industry dollars are ever spent on prevention. It is a huge cash register that feeds off of death and misery.

The beginning of your comment reminds me of Dr. Gabor Mate's experience with trauma/emotions and disease. He thinks most disease, including cancer, is from emotional repression, specifically the inability to express anger in a healthy way. Anger, he says, often comes from boundary violations. He connections this to the function of the immune system - keeping out what is unhealthy. Here's a video with one of these interesting conversations on the Diary of a CEO podcast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_qhvzDpQpk

Indeed. Cancer was seen long ago as a disease of the “humors,” i.e., the body’s fluids. The fluids are intimately connected to the emotions.

Western medicine gradually abandoned the humoral perspective to adopt the “solidist” one. Studying and treating the humors (blood, lymph, and bile) was largely abandoned in favor of treating the body’s “solids.” The rise of surgery also contributed greatly, because it is impossible to use a scalpel on blood.

Generally speaking, humanity, and particular modern science are extremely ignorant to the role of the emotions in an objective way, and to their biological correlation. In fact, modern science is as backward as 9th century’s understanding of the world in this regard.

I have actually just released a very important post which reveals something humanity is not aware of: an evolutionary mutation in the emotional center. In it I converge many so-called unrelated phenomena to one another, both within and without, and show that they are all connected to the transformation of our emotions.

I invite you to consider reading it.

Hello Cornwall Marc, Yes, those were interesting times. I had not heard the report that you mentioned but it is not surprising. in 1958 Max Gerson MD published his book, " a cancer therapy – the results of 50 cases". He demonstrated significant results with diet therapy. In the 1970s I had a patient who was pronounced incurable of her cancer after numerous medical treatments. She followed his diet and added an array of nutritional supplements. The cancer retreated and instead of dying, she opened a health food store and helped many people for several decades. Kay eventually passed with a heart attack and never had a recurrence of the cancer. To my understanding the awareness of cancer as a major issue was on the rise during the 60s and 70s. Dr. Gerson testified before the Senate committee about his research but all of the available funding went to the emerging and more glamorous radiation therapies.

Interestingly, during this time frame I encountered a research study in sociology that demonstrated that men tended to marry women who cooked like their mothers. The authors questioned whether or not there was a relationship between diet and heart disease. They were laughed out of the medical conference because it was conclusively "known" at the time that heart disease had nothing to do with diet, was strictly a male and genetic condition. This emphasis upon genetics persists even now in some circles. For example the entire human genome project. I predict it will not lead to all of the cures that are predicted by understanding the genetic map. Fascinating and useful project, but I think it may fall short of expectations.

In the same time frame I was teaching at a naturopathic college. One of their popular treatment techniques was herbal soaks. A tub of the prescribed herbal extracts was provided for the patient to soak in and absorb the therapeutic contents. The FDA came in closed down the college on the premise that skin was an impermeable membrane and this therapy was quackery. Very shortly after the closure, the skin patch heart medication delivery system was introduced. They had to get this college closed quickly to be ahead of the new trans-dermal pharmacological therapies.

I hope this is of help to some.

When I was 15 I watched my 25 year old cousin die of Hodgkin’s. 1970 Hodgkins was a death sentence, lost 1 aunt and several other cousins to it also. Now it is 95% curable with a sometime side effect of the chemo: pulmonary hypertension.

Now in my late 60s I have pulmonary arterial hypertension but mine is not from chemo thank goodness. I have commented on this before. I am very uncomfortable with one of the meds I take but my dr tells me it keeps me stable. Frustrating that I am forced to rely on the medical system since I have such a rare condition.

There is a new treatment just developed recently which treats the cause, not symptoms. Please google your disease to find out about it. I have done a lot of research on lung diseases as I have been plagued by bronchitis, pneumonia and pleurisy when I was in my fifties . I used hydrogen peroxide---- it is great for getting oxygen into the body you can drink it in water ( starting out with just a few drops , but it is much more effective when put into a nebulizer. a good nebulizer runs around $50 or so, they are easy to use and for me, provided results. Hydrogen peroxide also can be put in a vaporizer with plain water

My UK partner and I have been in Istanbul since October 2020 getting cancer treatment from the Chemothermia clinic after diagnosis by the National Health Service in London in September of that year. He had lost all faith in the NHS being capable of safely treating his prostate cancer which had spread to his bones. After research online and finding Thomas Seyfried's work, we contacted him and found out about Chemothermia clinic which follows his metabolic approach to cancer treatment.

My partner's cancer has been "sleeping" for about three years now. He follows a strict ketogenic diet, takes several repurposed drugs and supplements, gets 5 days of treatments every 4 months at Chemothermia that includes low-dose chemo, whole body heat, localized heat, hyperbaric oxygen, and various IV supplements and meds. He also has learned to meditate, does yoga, Pilates, calisthenics, and swimming. The doctor who runs the clinic here also suggested early on that addressing any blockages to healing and recovery due to emotional issues was vital to the process. My partner worked hard to do that and continues to be as self-aware as possible about any blockages to good health but mostly focuses on pro-action to achieve a steady, healthy equilibrium.

People come from all over the world for treatment at Chemothermia clinic. Many people come as a last resort but it is better to come early after diagnosis so that the patient is still relatively strong and not depilated by standard protocol chemo and radiation treatments.

I was thrilled when I saw that Dr Marik, who is a hero of mine, published his cancer care protocol. It's amazing and wonderful that your Leading Edge clinic is working to help patients with this protocol.

Well done!!! Great work!!! Thank you,AMD, for all you do!!!

Dear AMD,

When I had my stroke back in 2018, I got a CAT scan in the emergency room, and then another one i 48 hours at a hospital where I was transferred. I started taking activated charcoal almost immediately to help absorb some of the radiation. Would you recommend everyone going to get heavy radiation with things like Cat Scans take DMSO before hand, and is it good practice to take it afterwards if you have an unscheduled Cat Scan?

This was such a frank discussion about cancer it felt like being in a priest's confession booth. The whole Medical system in this country has needed a drastic makeover and I think it is finally around the corner as big pharma has gone way too far in their reach for our pocketbooks with no concern for the outcome -- like if we live or die

The use of DMSO there is more in regards to radiation therapy which overtly damages tissue. As far as I know, no one ever studied if DMSO decreases the long term effects of CT scans and it's unlikely a study like that would ever be done.
