The "Checklist" Article 7 Checklists To Evaluate An Alternative Cancer Treatment Program |
This article should be read under three conditions:
What are "Major" Treatments?There is such a vast amount of information on the internet about alternative cancer treatments, that I have put together this checklist article to make sense of it all. In other words, after you have put together your alternative cancer treatment, this is a good place to get it evaluated to see if it will be effective enough. This page deals with what I call: "major" treatments. The concept of a "major" treatment is based on treating a typical cancer patient who seeks out alternative cancer treatments. Typically, this is someone who has been through surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, who has less than 6 months to live and who has been sent home to die. It is at this point that people generally seek out alternative medicine. Definition: "major" treatment: an alternative cancer treatment which, based on my research, has proven itself to work quickly and to be a powerful treatment for terminal cancer patients, either by itself or in combination with other treatments. Furthermore, a "major" treatment deals more directly with selectively killing cancer cells than other treatments. As I have received many emails from cancer patients, or their representatives, it is very rare one of them will use one of my sample treatment plans exactly as written. I have no problem with that, but unfortunately, I have seen in some cases they have modified them so much that there are no "major" treatment plans left in the treatment!! That is why I have written this article. Note also that there are rare alternative cancer treatments that do not allow a person to meet all of the checklists in this "Checklist" article. For example, the Breuss cancer treatment does not allow ANY other treatments or immune builders to be added to the treatment. Why I Recommend Some VendorsFirst of all I want to make it clear that I do not sell any health related products, nor do I receive any commissions or kick-backs from anyone who does sell health related products. So why do I endorse certain products or vendors? When I endorse a product there are three facts that must exist:
Unfortunately, not all manufacturers of natural products have their customer's health in mind. Some are far more interested in cutting costs than in producing a quality product. Some have no clue what they are doing. There may be instances where a person (i.e. you) may feel that another product is as good or better than the one I recommend. For example, some people may feel that Flor-Essence is as good, or better, an Essiac Tea brand as Virginia's Herbal E-Tonic, who I recommend. These people may be right. If you feel this way, then use Flor-Essence. My point is not that I am perfect in my knowledge or my judgment, but I do strongly advise people to not take my recommendations lightly. If I had my way, every manufacturer would have perfect integrity and perfect knowledge. Were that the case I would not favor any product. Why Do I Require So Many Supplements and Products?If I sound like a broken record, it is because I want to make a point. If every vendor and manufacturer in the world had absolute integrity this "Checklist" article would require only half as many supplements and products as it does. But just like orthodox medicine makes so many bad decisions in order to maximize their profits, the same thing happens in alternative medicine, I am sad to say. In fact, some of the natural products are made by companies owned by major pharmaceutical companies!! Even some of the "studies" done to evaluate alternative products are designed to provide the answers desired by the group or company that funds the study. Integrity is a universal problem among "scientists." As an example, many MSM manufacturers have silicon dioxide added to their MSM. This may destroy much of the effectiveness of the MSM product. It is seemingly little, hidden things like this, that force me to require a large number of supplements and products. Herbs and essential oils are perhaps the most vulnerable to incompetence and profit-making. The simple act of dehydrating an herb or other plant can virtually destroy any benefit from the herb or plant. The "blood" of the plant, which contains the very nutrients necessary to get other nutrients inside the cell membranes of the plant (and thus help get the nutrients inside human cells), are evaporated out. Do you see again why I recommend some vendors? One of the reasons carrot juice is a required treatment on this page is because no vendor is involved!! You can grow your own carrots or get reasonably good quality carrots at your grocery store or health food store. Perhaps because carrots are one of the foods that have the least processing done to them is one of the reasons they show up so often in successful cancer testimonials. For many of the substances I discuss below I have written detailed articles. Please read my detailed article if you have any questions about using the substance.

WARNING!!This "Checklist" article is only designed to deal with Stage III cancer. However, there is an article on this web site that is designed for Stage IV cancer. Stage IV cancer includes (excluding brain cancer which is discussed in the next paragraph):
Note for Brain Cancer Patients: For brain cancer patients, see the article specifically on brain cancer and pay close attention to the section on Protocel near the top of the article and the section on Extreme Brain Cancer Treatment near the bottom of the article. For these patients, the recommended first treatment is Protocel. The article is at: |
THE REQUIREMENTS OF ALL 7 CHECKLISTS MUST BE MET!!Checklist 1 of 7: Every Treatment Plan MUST Have These Treatments In ItThese are items that must be in every treatment plan, for several reasons. For example, the barleygreens or SuperGreens help the liver detox, they make the blood more alkaline and they provide chlorophyll, which helps get oxygen into the cancer cells. I have seen many, many articles written by people who cured their own cancer at home. In virtually every case one or more of three major treatments were present: Carrot juice, Essiac Tea and/or a "greens" drink (e.g. Barleygreen, wheatgrass juice, etc.). I have included all three of these items as being required. Required Items
Highly Recommended, But Not Required, Items in this Checklist
Checklist 2 of 7: At least 3 ADDITIONAL Major Treatments to Kill Cancer CellsMy main "rule of thumb" (i.e. guidelines) for cancer treatments is that every alternative cancer treatment should contain several "major" treatments. In addition to the Checklist #1 major treatments above, you need at least 3 additional major treatments from the list below. At least 3 ADDITIONAL items taken from these lists (there are multiple lists in this section):
(Checklist 2 continued) Optional "Major" treatments:The above list of "major" treatments is not complete. Other alternative cancer treatment experts might add other items. I list some of these items and why I have not put them in my main list. You may COUNT one of these "major" treatment if you feel comforable with the treatment and the vendor.
(Checklist 2 continued) For those with more than a year to live, the following treatments may be counted as "major" treatments:Laetrile and metabolic therapy are fabulous treatments for those who have over a year to treat their cancer. You might remember that Kelley did not count in his statistics anyone who died within 12-18 months of beginning treatment. Binzel did not count anyone who died within 6-12 months of beginning treatments. 1) Laetrile therapy: Do NOT buy or use laetrile pills, buy the apricot seeds or get whole apricots and remove the almond-looking seed (which in inside of the hard shell). Do NOT use the Bizel diet, use the stronger diet mentioned above. 2) Kelley Metabolic Therapy - use his "cancer diet" and his supplements, but make sure all of the other items in this "checklist" are followed. (Checklist 2 continued) Other commentsWhen people research the internet, and they find a testimonial, they almost instinctively think it is a "major" treatment. It may be, but there are some things that need to be researched before you should consider it a "major" treatment. First, what "total life" cure rate does it generate for cancer patients in your situation? Thanks to the FDA, this is usually impossible to answer. Thus, it amounts to reading multiple testimonials that are not related to each other! and making a judgement call. Note: just because a treatment selectively kills cancer cells in the laboratory does not mean it is a good alternative cancer treatment. What happens in a laboratory tells nothing about whether it will kill enough cancer cells in the human body!! A laboratory and a human body are two vastly different environments!! Second, is there a trusted vendor for this product? This is a big issue, especially if you are depending on the testimonials at a vendor site (unfortunately most testimonials are on vendor sites). Vendors have been known to use testimonials of people who used a product, but the product was purchased from another vendor. Third, how does the treatment work and how fast does it work? There are some superb treatments, but due to the way they work, it takes too many months for them to have a significant effect. Fourth, what is the margin of error? In other words, given the variety of quality in vendors, the variability of how the product is treated by vendors and by shippers, how stable is the product under these variable conditions? Checklist 3 of 7: Your Plan MUST Have At Least 3 Treatments To Build the Immunity SystemBuilding the immunity system kills cancer cells indirectly. In other words, these items build the parts of the immunity system that deal with cancer cells, and then the immunity system helps to selectively kill the cancer cells. For brain cancer, a person should have as many of the immunity system building treatments as possible. Even if these substances do not get past the blood-brain barrier (BBB), the white blood cells created by these treatments are guaranteed to get past the BBB!! For leukemia patients, check with your medical doctor to see if building the white blood cells that deal with cancer is appropriate for your situation. Generally, these treatments should not be a problem because leukocytes (the immature white blood cells created in bone marrow or the lymph system) are the problem with leukemia. These treatments build mature white blood cells. Also, for leukemia patients the "greens" portion of the diet is ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL as are the antifungal products. At least 3 items from this List (item #1 is REQUIRED):
and many others (e.g. Lentinan, PSK, PSP, Coriolan, D-Fraction, RM10, Mushroom Immunity Complex, etc.)!! Be aware that every vendor claims their product is the best and also remember that I have no lab facilities to test their claims!! MGN-3 or BioBran has a single manufacturer, and has been studied in labs. However, even with this superb product, shipping and poor storage can damage its effectiveness. See also my article on building the immunity system: Checklist 4 of 7: A Colon Cleanse to Start Your Treatment AND At Least 2 ADDITIONAL Liver Detox TreatmentsSimultaneous to your starting your cancer treatment, there are three steps that must be accomplished in order! First, a colon cleanseThe Jon Barron book has a lot of information about a colon cleanse (starting with Chapter 3). You should do a colon cleanse before you do a liver cleanse, so the toxins will have somewhere to go after they are flushed!!! His free, online book is at: http://jonbarron.org/ (click on: Free Download - requires Adobe Acrobat) Second, a liver / gallbladder cleanseYou should do a liver cleanse every 3 months, or more often if you feel the need. I will give you three options. You should read all three before deciding on one of them: ONE from this list (or you can use another high reputation liver cleanse) See the Jon Barron book on liver flush: Also see this superb web site on a liver flush to begin your diet with: This may be the best liver flush. It is important to read all three of these flushes, but this one may be the safest and most effective. It is in a free, online cancer book at: Regardless of which liver flush you use, I would make sure you include pure lemon juice in natural water. The reasons for this are beyond the scope of this article. Third, an ongoing liver detox treatmentIn addition to the major treatment plans, the liver must be detoxified so that it does not die from the accumulating toxins generated by the treatment plan. The treatment plan MUST include at least 4 treatments that detoxify or cleanse the liver. However, 2 of these are in the required section (Check #1 above), carrot juice and Essiac Tea. This means that 2 additional liver cleanse items must be chosen: At least 2 items taken from this list (#1 and/or #2 are REQUIRED):Note: As opposed to the liver cheanse, these treatments are ongoing treatments, not occasional treatments.
As with the liver cleanse, I would add pure lemon juice in natural water to the liver detox. A Note About Coffee EnemasSeveral major alternative treatment programs, such as the Kelley Metabolic program, Hulda Clark, the Gerson Treatment, and others, swear by coffee enemas as a REQUIRED part of any alternative treatment. The reason is that coffee enemas open the bile duct and allow the liver to flush toxins, thus protecting the liver. Coffee enemas have been used for many decades. The question is this: do the herbal and other liver detox treatments work just as well as a coffee enema? This is a hotly debated issue!! You are on your own to make this decision. I will simply say two things: Checklist 5 of 7: Treat the Fungus That Every Cancer Patient HasWhile there are many different things that "cause" cancer, in almost every case a major contributing factor, and perhaps even a necessary factor, is a pleomorphic yeast/fungus that thrives in a highly acidic diet. A highly acidic diet starts a chain reaction in the body as the body makes every attempt to keep its pH at 7.3. As part of this chain reaction is the thriving of a series of these parasites. It is essential in any cancer treatment to take away much of the power of the cancer which comes from these things. Another reason to deal with these parasites is that they may "feed" on many of the same things that cancer cells feed on, because of their similar anaerobic metabolism. This means some of the cancer-killing nutrients may be diverted to the yeast/fungus and not get to the cancer cells. This theory is verified by the fact that many cancer-killing foods are also antifungal and antiyeast. The faster the yeast/fungus/mould are killed, the faster more cancer-killing nutrients will become available to get to the cancer cells. At least 3 of the following antifungal supplements:Note: If you used tobacco, then pick four antifungal supplements. Note: If you have leukemia, then pick four or five antifungal supplements and see the book: Sick and Tired? by Robert O. Young for an even longer list of antifungal supplements. Note: One vendor has a single product that contains the first 3 items in this list. While it might be surprising to the reader that this vendor is also mentioned above, note that the person behind these products is Robert O. Young, PhD, who is also the author of the book Sick and Tired? which is a superb resource for information about pH, yeast and fungus. The product is SpectraZyme: 1) Undecylenic Acid (saturated fatty acid), from dehydrated castor oil 2) Caprylic Acid (saturated fatty acid) 3) Olive Leaf Extract 4) Whole Leaf Aloe Vera Extract 5) Oil of Oregano 6) Goldenseal PLUS Echinacea (a very common herbal combination) 7) Grapefruit Seed Extract (not to be confused with Grape Seed Extract, which is used for a different reason by cancer patients) There are other items I could put on this list, but if you substitute for something on this list, make sure it is as potent as the above items. Checklist 6 of 7: EnzymesDr. William D. Kelley's metabolic therapy was based on key enzymes. Two of these, trypsin and chymotrypsin, were key to stripping proteins from the exterior of cancer cells so that the body's immunity system could kill the cancer cells. In recent years even more powerful enzymes have been discovered. At least 1 enzyme package:1) Vitälzym or VitälzymX, or It is also highly recommended that you use: 3) Nättovita [recommended] VitälzymX and Nättovita can be purchased from: http://www.thewolfeclinic.com/vitalzym/vitalzymx.html See also: http://www.worldnutrition.info/vx.htm Wobenzyme N can be purchased from: http://www.thewayup.com/products/0221.htm Checklist 7 of 7: You Must Use a Three Phase Treatment PlanIt is absolutely critical that a cancer patient use a three phase treatment plan. Even if you design your own three phase treatment plan you need to understand what needs to be accomplished: Phase 1: This "Checklist" article describes a "Phase 1" cancer treatment. It is a treatment that is a primary cancer treatment. A person must stay on a "Phase 1" cancer treatment for at least 2 months after all symptoms of cancer disappear (i.e. for 2 months after the person is in "remission"). With regards to tumors, it is not necessary for a tumor to completely shrink to be considered in "remission" if it is considered that the cancer cells in the tumor are dead. For more information about alternative cancer treatments that shrink tumors, see: Phase 2: A "Phase 2" cancer treatment lasts for one year and covers that time between remission and a cancer prevention diet. Due to the fact that it is impossible to accurately determine when all of the cancer cells in a person are dead, it is essential to spend a year on a "watered-down" cancer treatment that will continue to kill cancer cells, but is not as dramatic as a "Phase 1" cancer diet. It is also essential to continue treating the liver. My article on the "Phase 2" cancer diet is at: Phase 3: A "Phase 3" cancer diet is a lifelong cancer prevention and heart disease prevention lifestyle. It is no longer a treatment, but a way of life. My article on cancer prevention and heart disease prevention is at: Other Important CommentsOne checklist that would be helpful is a checklist on removing heavy metals from the body. Heavy metals do significant damage to the immunity system. However, because both chlorella and organic germanium are required treatments above, and because both chelate heavy metals, I have not made a seperate checklist for removing heavy metals. |
