IMPORTANT NOTICE:

In order to avoid endless repetition, a separate tutorial on alternative treatments for cancer has been written. This web page does not include most of that information. The information on this web page should not be implemented without a clear understanding of the tutorial!!
Tutorial For Alternative Treatments For Cancer

There is also an introductory article on the advantages of alternative cancer treatments compared to orthodox cancer treatments.
Introduction to Alternative Cancer Treatments

 

Brain Cancer

Let me start with the observations of one person familiar with brain cancer treatments:

  • "Orthodox treatment for brain cancer, especially Children's, is absolutely appalling. Chemotherapy and radiation treatment cause horrific side-effects and permanent retardation. Very few survive for five years with this treatment. Their quality of life is ghastly, constantly sick from the chemotherapy/radiation treatments, their immune system wrecked by this barbaric treatment."
    Site No Longer Exists

I wanted to emphasize the concept of permanent retardation. The wife of a good friend of mine developed brain cancer. She had radiation therapy that bascially made her mentally retarded. It was only after this happened that the radiologist admitted to my friend that radiation probably didn't do any good. Needless to say his wife died.

  • "As a rough estimate, neurosurgeons do well to cure one in every 1,000-brain cancer patients they operate on. Radiation therapy slows the growth of adult tumors, gaining perhaps one month of life, and may result in a cure of only one in 500-1,000 patients. Similarly, chemotherapy, despite 30 years of clinical trials, has not resulted in the development of a single drug or drug combination that elicits more than an occasional transient response in primary brain tumors."
    Dr. Robert Burdick, oncologist and professor at the University of Washington Medical School

Brain cancer and brain tumors are somewhat unique because of the "blood-brain barrier," which severly restricts the types of substances in the bloodstream that are allowed by the body into the brain. While the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is great for protecting the brain from danger, when the brain has cancer cells, the BBB can be a problem.

With this in mind, the most promising alternative treatments for brain cancer and brain tumors that I have been able to find are presented.

Protocel [MUST READ]

There is one treatment that has shown outstanding success with brain cancer AND brain tumors. It is superb and it is called Protocel. A very similar product is called Cantron.

The bad news is that Protocel or Cantron require a very, very strict protocol of things a cancer patient can and cannot partake of. The good news is that there are two websites which tell a patient EXACTLY what can and cannot be taken with Protocel or Cantron.

This treatment for brain cancer is the most important and significant treatment available to the public. See my article on Protocel or Cantron for more information: Protocel or Cantron Article [must read!!]

Grape Cure

Because the grape cure contains so much glucose and other sugars, which feed cancer cells and get past the blood brain barrier, and because it is not known whether a sufficient number of the cancer-killing nutrients in grapes (to offset these sugars) get past the blood-brain barrier, I cannot endorse using the grape cure on brain cancer until more information is forthcoming.

Essaic Tea
  • "I ordered Essiac tea from Linda Paulhus when my husband was diagnosed with inoperable, terminal brain cancer. we were told (he) would die, and that radiation and chemo would only allow him to live a little longer. Besides Essiac tea, I gave him Cat's Claw, Shark Cartilage, and Vitamins A & E. Who knows what worked..but he is alive today, and I have recommended Essiac tea..to several others who have faced cancer."
    http://www.essiac-herbal.com/testimonials.html

Based on that treatment list, I suspect the Essaic Tea, Cat's Claw and shark cartilage all contributed. This website recommends Virginia's Herbal E-Tonic out of Canada. See my article on Essiac Tea.

Noni Juice

"A 32 year old man with brain cancer had his tumor shrink from the size of a baseball to the size of the tip of your thumb. A 73 year old man had his brain tumor shrink to half its size. Both took Tahitian Noni Juice."

Noni Juice is known for key nutrients that get past the blood brain barrier into the brain, such as Xeronine. But perhaps more important, the glucose in Noni Juice, like all glucose, easily gets past the blood brain barrier. Like grape juice, there is no doubt that this glucose carries cancer cell killing nutrients with it. Some of the brands of Noni Juice, including Tahitian Noni Juice, mix fruit juices in with the Noni Juice which contain Ellagic Acid, which combines with glucose. For brain cancer patients, it would be best to buy a brand of Noni Juice that contains berry juice (e.g. blueberries, strawberries, etc.).

Budwig Diet

This is from a posting on the internet: "I don't really know one type of brain tumor from another, but I can tell you about one man who was under direct care of Dr. Budwig. He followed her regimen excactly. His condition was far advanced with a tumor in his head called adenoma. He could hardly see anymore. He went to see Dr.Budwig and began his treatment in Oct, 1997. Two weeks later he began feeling better. Three weeks later his vision began to improve. Six months later he had the feeling that the tumor was gone. Sometimes later that was confirmed. He is well and active and runs his own business. I last communicated with him about two months ago. He was in good shape. But he is still following the Budwig regimen except not as quite as strict as before."

Here is a link to a testimonial passed around on the internet. It is actually a complete treatment plan with the Budwig Diet as the main element: http://www.flaxoflife.com/

As with an Essiac Tea testimonial above, this treatment testimonial also included shark cartilage. See my notes below.

MGN-3 or MGN3

Since MGN-3 builds the immunity system, it is not necessary for any of its ingredients to get past the blood-brain barrier, the immunity system obviously gets past the BBB. Here is a testimonial:

  • "On January 15, 1999, the patient presented with severe headache and numbness in the right limbs at a nearby hospital and was diagnosed with common cold. Her general condition worsened and the right half of her body was paralyzed in late January. She underwent examination at the brain surgery department of another hospital and was found to have a brain tumor. Lung cancer and metastases in lymph nodes were also discovered and the patient was told she had only 3 months to live. She had undergone surgery for breast cancer in 1989 so these diseases were considered recurrences or metastases. She refused the chemotherapy recommended by the hospital and was admitted to S Surgery, which provided complementary medicine incorporating dietary, psychological and immune therapies. She was given MGN-3 3 g daily as part of immunotherapy to activate NK cells. The activity of NK cells increased to 52.6% 3 months after start of treatment and all the tumors began shrinking. It is now 1 year and 6 months since she was told she had only 3 months to live and she continues treatment with dietary therapy, qigong and MGN-3 3 g daily and is living a normal life."

Raw Food
  • "After more than 20 years of personal experience and research, I consider BarleyGreen the single most important food I put into my body each day. It is the most nutritionally dense food I know of on earth today, and it provides my body cells with all the nutrients they need to remain strong and healthy. I personally consume three to four tablespoons of BarleyGreen daily.

    The second most important food in my diet is carrot juice. Presently I consume an average of 16 ounces of freshly extracted carrot juice from a Champion Juicer daily. During my bout with cancer more than 20 years ago I consumed one to two quarts daily as BarleyGreen did not exist at that time. At the Gerson Clinic today, they give eight 8-ounce servings of carrot juice daily to their patients along with 4 glasses of a green drink similar to BarleyGreen. Using this juice therapy along with a cleansing program, they are healing "incurable" diseases, such as lung cancer, brain cancer, spreading melanoma and more.

    The third most important food I put into my body is the raw fruits and vegetables, which are consumed at the noon and evening meals. I eat no breakfast and haven´t for over 20 years. (A glass of BarleyGreen is my only breakfast food.) Thus, my average daily food intake consists of approximately 85% raw food. I do allow myself some cooked food at the end of the evening meal, which might consist of a baked white or sweet potato, brown rice or steamed vegetables, but this is more for its taste than nutritional value."

This is very good advice!

Among the many cancer treating nutrients in carrots, astaxanthin, a cartenoid, easily gets past the BBB.

Ellagic Acid

Ellagic Acid is known to kill cancer cells. Whether it gets past the blood-brain barrier is not important because it combines with glucose, which does get past the blood-brain barrier. In other words, when Ellagic Acid is used with a glucose-based food, such as grape juice, blueberries, strawberries, etc., it gets past the BBB. Ellagic acid is found naturally in purple grapes, red grapes, kiwifruit, blueberries, red and black raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, and currants. See the Grape Cure section above.

Coenzyme Q10 - CoQ10

Not a lot of different types of cancer have been treated with CoQ10, it is a fairly new and not well-known cancer treatment. However, like MGN-3 it works mainly by building the white blood cells, thus whether CoQ10 itself gets past the blood-brain barrier is a moot issue, because the white blood cells do get past the BBB. However, since CoQ10 is a major treatment for Parkinson's disease, which is a brain disease, it is clear that the effects of CoQ10 get into the brain.

Several vendors of CoQ10 claim they have developed a way of getting CoQ10 past the blood-brain barrier. Whether all this fuss is necessary or not, I do not know, it certainly cannot hurt. It is clear that CoQ10 would be a solid treatment for brain cancer in any case. Here are some of the vendors that make this claim:

Cayenne Pepper Tea
  • "In a lecture by Dr Richard Shulze, master herbalist, we learned the following: A man had an inoperable brain tumor and told that he might have a 5% chance of survival with chemotherapy. He went home, did a colon/liver detox and started a regimen of ten cups per day of cayenne pepper tea. In three months he returned to his doctor and his x-rays showed a dried up, dead tumor in his head. Dr Shulze explains this cure thusly: Cayenne pepper contains many wonderful phytochemicals, vitamins, and minerals. It cleans the blood allowing hormonal signals to make their way unimpeded through your system, thus the enhanced immune response. In countries that have some very hot cuisine, you find significantly lower cancer and heart disease rates."

Shark Liver Oil and Shark Cartilage (dogfish shark)

"Experiments in rats showed squalamine shrinks the deadliest form of brain cancer, glioblastoma. All cancerous tumors require blood vessels to feed their cells, and squalamine may be able to starve them to death. Like the research on angiogenesis inhibitors, the much-talked about treatment that blocks the growth of new blood vessels to tumors in mice, the investigation of squalamine is in the beginning stages."
http://cgi.cnn.com/HEALTH/9807/09/shark.cancer.drug/

"Squalamine, found in shark liver oil, blocks the in growth of blood vessels into a tumor, and therefore, it block's the tumor's growth- not because it kills the tumor cells, but it simply cuts off their blood supply if you will"
Dr.Allen Sill, Johns Hopkins University

But that's not all:

"One of the principle agents in Shark Liver Oil which helps to increase immune function are the alkylglycerols (AKG's). Alkylglycerols are found in the bone marrow, which is the heart of the immune system. Alkylglycerols serve three major functions: (1) cell membrane effects (2) antioxidant action preventing damage from radiation therapy (3) direct tumor suppression."

Anvirzel

At the current time this product can only be obtained by someone going to Honduras.

  • "Reports that slipped out in late 1999 showed that Anvirzel reversed AIDS, no matter what the phase of the disease, arthritis, psoriasis, hepatitis C, and even diabetes in some cases. Initially, Anvirzel was thought to work only on cancers found early, however, very positive results have been found in people given just weeks to live. To top this all off, Anvirzel seems to be the first cancer remedy to show positive results for leiomyosarcoma, probably the deadliest of cancers. Anvirzel also crosses the blood-brain barrier (like Poly-MVA) and gives hope to people with brain tumors."

See: http://www.mnwelldir.org/docs/cancer1/altthrpy.htm

Beta Glucan

A nutrient known to get through the blood-brain barrier.

  • "I had a stroke a while back, and I was rushed to the hospital. The doctors found a fast-spreading cancer all through my body. They also discovered two brain tumors, one which was the size of a golf ball. My friend, Bill, came to see me and brought a bottle of Beta Gold with him. Later he told me that after he saw me the first time, he didn't expect to see me alive again. However, I took his advice and went on the Beta Gold taking 850 mg per day.The doctors started me on Chemo to slow down the cancer. The doctors were amazed that I didn't get sick on the large doses of Chemo they were giving me. Their next plan was to operate on the two brain tumors. Just recently I went in for "prep" for the brain tumors, and they were amazed to see that the X-ray showed that the tumors were so much smaller than earlier. The doctor said that he would like to take credit for these amazing results. "I´ve been in the medical profession for twenty years, and I've never seen anything like it." I said, "It´s the Beta Glucan, Doc." Everyone had virtually given up on me, and now I have at least a 90% chance of surviving this cancer. The last report is that the two brain tumors are gone and have not reoccurred."

Beta Gold is now sold under the brand name of Beta 100's and Beta 500's.

Another beta glucan product is Immutol. See my article on the immunity system for more information:

Hydroxygen Plus (now Oxygen Elements Plus) and MSM
  • "... John, a 58 year old man who stage 4 osteosarcoma (cancer of the brain) and cancer of the blood. He was given 6 to 10 months to live with radiation and less without. "At this point in time, John could no longer walk or drive. As he was about to die, John was then told to ´Get your affairs in order.´ ....

    John immediately started taking MSM (organic sulfur), an increasing dosage of Hydroxygen Plus, changing his diet to an alkaline based diet, and drinking lots of clean water everyday. In two weeks time John drove to his doctor and walked into his office for a check up. to his doctor´s amazement, John´s swelling in his brain had been reduced by 90% and his speech, his vision and his walking had returned to almost normal. Remember this was only two weeks later! His doctors could not believe his progress, and they were very mad at John for driving a car and not taking his medication. Nevertheless, they told John, ´Whatever you´re doing, keep doing it.´

    They still wanted to give him radiation because he had a particularly rapid growing aggressive type of cancer. John refused the radiation and told them that he was going to be just fine and that he was going to beat this cancer faster than anything that they had ever seen. John religiously continued taking the MSM and the Hydroxygen Plus. He also continued his strict diet and drank lots of pure water every day.

    "Six weeks after his surgery John went back to his doctor for a MRI to see where the cancer was at that point. to his doctors´ complete amazement, they found absolutely no swelling in the brain. All brain functions had returned to normal and there was NO CANCER at all."

Hydroxygen Plus is now known as "Oxygen Elements Plus." found here on the web: Global Health Trax Home Site

Alpha Lipoic Acid and MSM

There are two MUST supplements for anyone on a brain cancer treatment program. They are MSM and Alpha Lipoic Acid. These are two key nutrients that are known to penetrate the blood-brain barrier. However, do NOT use ALA if using PolyMVA because ALA is already part of PolyMVA.

Extreme Brain Cancer Treatment

When I first started receiving emails related to this web site, the most common form of cancer I got questions about was brain cancer. This surprised me. Because of this I have asked fellow alternative cancer treatment experts a lot of questions. One of them revealed to me a stunning treatment. I have written an article about it, and he has proofread it, but I have not made the article public because the treatment does carry some risks. It is only for those who have no other viable options and have basically given up hope.

I am willing to share this information with someone who meets these three criteria:

1) They have less than 8 weeks to live --OR-- they have tried the Protocel or Cantron treatment for over 3 months, and have strictly followed every condition for this treatment, and it has not cured their cancer, and they have quit using this treatment,
2) Someone other than the cancer patient will give me a bi-weekly update on how the patient is doing,
3) The patient, or their representative, agrees that this treatment carries some risk, which they are willing to take.

I want to emphasize that this is not a research study. The reason for feedback is not because I intend to submit anything to anyone. The reason for the feedback is for me to determine whether I will ever link to this article and make it public. For now, I want to control who knows about it.

This treatment CANNOT be used by a woman who is pregnant, who may be pregnant, who may become pregnant during treatment, or who is breastfeeding.

I will only give out this information over the phone, because I want to interview the patient, or his or her representative, before giving out the information. Send me an email, with your response to the above three criteria, plus your home phone number.

Note: Do not forget the importance of a Phase Two treatment protocol after all symptoms of cancer are gone.
