Prevention & treatment of cancer- what I would do/have done/have researched
Use this as an aide to your research & share with your appropriate medical professional.
You can use drugs.com or other trusted health websites to look up the latest information on prescription drugs, herbs, foods or other treatments possible side & interaction effects.
Cancer testing
Quit smoking- you can feel a strong urge to study & try all stop smoking techniques & to keep using the ones that work best
Avoid alcohol- take 50mg naltrexone an hour before drinking (or 25mg under the tongue 30min before)/Tabex/DHM-Japanese raison tree leaf/kudzu or drink/take Kava/chamomille/valerian/lemongrass for the social fun & anxiety reduction without the cognitive shutdown of alcohol.
During alcohol withdrawal & abstinence- sustained release vitamin B100s, glutamine, MCT oil (1/8-1/4th teaspoon every 4 hours with food or under tongue/gums) for energy all may reduce alcohol cravings and reduce cancer
What would I eat & take in order of researched effectiveness?
C60- maybe the strongest studied anticancer, greater energy, deeper sleep, topical 2x faster healing burns & wounds
Eat organic & unprocessed to avoid massive toxins in nonorganic food like mercury, lead, Roundup/glyphosate, diquat, paraquat, MSG
Only cook with organic coconut oil or grassfed organic ghee or butter, all other oils have polyunsaturated fat which becomes formaldehyde when heated/refined (cancer, diabetes, heart disease) OR add organic olives (not California black) or organic avocado after cooking & before serving (room temperature) or organic unrefined cold pressed black seed oil with every uncooked meal
Ketogenic diet (no processed all whole foods pressure cooked) 80% drop in cancer, diabetes, heart disease, depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia, autism
Time restricted eating- all food in 2-8 hours, water/coffee/tea w/MCT oil
Alpha lipoic acid (600mg at wakeup & before or after every meal), berberine (500-600mg before breakfast & dinner), moringa, cinnamon or 500mg metformin before each meal (not extended release) as well as walk/exercise before &/or after eating, best is high intensity exercise (maxing out for half minute) after every meal, even sitting calf raises can reduce blood sugar 50%
Moringa especially is a heavy source of nutrients that cancer can deplete
Lecithin liposomal vitamin C 500mg every eight hours
Turmeric w/black pepper
Medicinal mushroom mix cooked in vegetables (flavor)
As many organic herbs as possible like Italian seasonings, garlic, leeks, onions
Probiotic mix (like Now Foods 10 different 50 billion count) with last food of the night (food has prebiotics that will feed it all night)
Avoid caloric beverages, drink water
Low carb veges (salad) w/vinegar & olives/avocados & fermented foods first, protein 2nd, fruit/carbs at end of meal & exercise/walk immediately after, vinegar reduces blood sugar
Full or half glass water then fruit (no fruit juices or caloric drinks) & 1/4 ts MCT oil under tongue if need energy for exercise
Ketogenic diet can reduce cancer by 80%
Only carbs with high fiber low sugar
Vitamin D3 1.25mg/50K daily under tongue best or after a meal with fat & 500mcg vitamin K2 daily & dark leafy greens or natto reverse osteoporosis & combination may reduce cancers by well over 80%
Organic flaxseed frozen or freshly ground
2-8g organic spirulina after a meal with a vegetable (has enzymes to digest algae) for EPA & DHA omega3 fatty acids found in fish oil
30 mg zinc daily
12mg ivermectin daily
dichloroacetate 500mg 3x/day
1/2 baby aspirin before bed, 1/2 upon awakening
5mg or more slow release melatonin at night or red nightlights (flood the brain with melatonin)
compassion & gratitude meditation/contemplation every hour, yoga, EFT tapping
red light at bedtime to increase melatonin & reduce orexin & induce sleep, pink noise, binaural sleep setting &/or magnesium glycinate 500mg, vitamin B8 inositol 500mg-18g, GABA 500mg, theanine 100mg to deepen sleep & increase next day productivity
For people having difficulty keeping on ketogenic eating, a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) to see exactly what foods raise blood sugar higher than 120mg/dl or cause more than a 20 point rise in fasting blood sugar (50-80mg/dl ideal).
A blood ketone meter to keep ketone levels above 2mmol/l will also give immediate feedback on what foods keep us in ketosis & improves successful food choices & low blood sugar high blood ketones.
Organic unprocessed food with noncaloric drinks (only sweetened with allulose/stevia/monk fruit &/or raw honey) as raw honey/stevia/monk fruit don’t appear to cause weight gain or diabetes & allulose appears to REDUCE blood sugar levels
Any other disorders especially brain fog- lecithin liposomal EDTA, humic & fulvic acids

Prescription aides:
Zoldronic acid
Problematic for breast cancer treatment-
Nonorganic corn & soy has Roundup (glyphosate) used on it repeatedly, according to Purdue researchers it causes aggressive breast cancer. Seven other crops have Roundup (glyphosate) sprayed on them right before harvesting.
Chemotherapy appears to cause prostate, breast, and ovarian cells to produce a chemical called WNT16B that triggers cancer cell growth proliferation and makes cancer cells immune to chemotherapy. Brain damage.
Low dose targeted chemotherapy (like mixed with DMSO) & tested as the most successful against the person’s cancer cells can be more effective without the severe side effects of traditional chemo deliver & dosage.
Dairy appears to increase hormonal cancers, has 33x more of an estrogen.
Caloric drinks- sugar feeds cancer, especially mixed in liquids.
Aspartame (Nutrasweet) in blue packets & sucralose (Splenda) in yellow packets both have new independent & more thorough studies showing they apparently cause cancer in test animals, including breast cancer (aspartame). CSPI (Nutrition Action Newsletter authors) downgraded them both to “Avoid”.
Alcohol- as bad as liquid sugar for cancer, AND it increases binge eating of foods thatt increase cancer, AND alcohol anywhere near bedtime reduces quality/depth of sleep and melatonin reduces breast cancer.
BPA- avoid canned food, heating plastic containers, use glass & stainless steel instead
In men & especially after menopause in women iron levels that are low normal but not anemic prevent iron’s cancerous & body & mind degenerative effects (as well as increased bacterial infections)

Slow growing cancer
Some cancers are so slow growing they don’t need to be treated, just watched- breast cancer DCIS, papillary thyroid, and many prostate, cervical
& bladder cancers. These may be called IDLE instead of cancer to reduce premature heavy intervention.
Cell phones
Cell phones, according to president of the EHT Devra Davis, have more than 90 studies showing they can damage DNA. A lot of studies appear to show links to cancer, especially where the cell phone is held (head) or kept when not talking into it (pocket or holder).
http://bottomlineinc.com/can-cell-phone-cause-cancer/
Vegetable oils
Polyunsaturated fats (PUFs) in vegetable oils (in especially large amounts in safflower, corn, & soy) produce aldehydes that are poisonous (think formaldehyde) and also neurodegenerative when cooked or heated during refining. This appears to increase heart disease & cancer. Refined oils have often not only been heated but the oil is often extracted with toxic chemicals like hexane.
Organic & unrefined oils appear safest. Oils with PUFs appear to be quite healthy if uncooked, unrefined & organic.
Medium chain triglycerides (MCT) and monounsaturated fat (MUF) holds up much better with cooking, but only if not deep fried, recooked, or heated past the smoking point.
Animal saturated fats (ASFs) holds up under cooking, but saturated fat in animal products slows thinking for a time after ingestion. ASFs like in butter, lard, & ghee appear to significantly increases cancer rates if the animals are not organically raised, and ASFs appear to increase heart disease deaths by at least 30%. Studies that don’t show this effect may often use comparison groups that increase their sugar or hydrogenated fat consumption.

https://doi.org/10.1161/CIR.0000000000000510
Oils composition
MCTs don’t appear to increase weight gain like other fats. MCT oil increases energy & is used by weightlifters & athletes because unlike all other fats it is easier to burn as energy than to store as fat. It one of the best oils to prevent heart disease.
Organic coconut oil has a lot of MCTs (about half) and is the healthiest oil for preventing weight gain & heart disease. Like cocoa’s stearic acid its saturated fats are good for the heart & prevent heart disease. Because it has very little PUFs (2%) it breaks down less & is the least toxic after cooking. It has 6% MUFs, and 92% SFs, with half being MCTs.
https://examine.com/supplements/coconut-oil/
Macademia nut oil (tastes like butter to me) has 2% PUFs, 78% MUFs, 14.5% SFs, making it perhaps as safe as organic coconut oil for cooking.
70% oleic sunflower oil has 4%, 10%, 86%, maybe next safest for cooking.
Hard margarine has 6%, 14%, 80% but increases cancer rates.
Extra virgin olive oil has 11%, 75, 14. Extra virgin olive oil has phenols that help prevent heart disease & inflammation. Olive oil has been traded internationally for millenia & tests find that 70% is partially or wholly faked. Research shows the most likely genuine types are extra virgin, organic, and coming from only one country & not a “blend”.
Flaxseed oil has 66%, 20%, 9%. Flaxseed oil is by far the largest source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Freshly ground organic flaxseeds (but not oil alone) appear to help fight prostate, colon, breast, & ovarian cancer.
Borage oil has 69%, 17%, 15%. Borage oil has 23% gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a potent anticancer.
Hemp oil has 79%, 12%, 9%. Hemp oil has 1.7% gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a potent anticancer, and is the second largest source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). ALA appears to help fight cancer, especially breast cancer. Hemp oil may contain other beneficial compounds against cancer, and may be the best oil along with flaxseed oil to fight cancer, but only if it is uncooked.
black currant seed oil. Another good source is evening primrose oil

Iron levels
Iron levels above low normal in men & in women after menopause can significantly increase cancer & body disease & degeneration exponentially.
https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2019/01/09/iron-toxicity.aspx
Anti-inflammatories (can be taken in combination)
Alpha lipoic acid (ALA)
ALA in one review as estimated to be more effective than chemotherapy. It has no known side effects except at very high doses (over 3000mg/day) suggested resolved by taking some vitamin B7 (biotin) in between ALA doses.
ALA is also effective against pain (including migraines, sciatica, nerve pain, & peripheral neuropathy) & inflammation, diabetes, heart disease & obesity.
Astaxanthin
Astaxanthin, as with other anti-inflammatories, appears to reduce cancer AND cancer pain AND the organ damage from the more toxic chemotherapies. Astaxanthin (taken with a meal or vegetable oil) has been used up to 75mg/day in studies. Astaxanthin stops inflammation, pain, kills cancer cells, stops sunburning, dry chapped skin in the winter, ulcers, macular degeneration, and cataracts. It may be most effective in protecting against skin cancer. The more you take the more pain & inflammation goes away, and the greater its effects against cancer. As a COX-2 anti-inflammatory & painkiller it prevents a lot of the pain from chemotherapy & significantly speeds recovery from it.

Turmeric
Turmeric is the best studied anti-inflammatory. It works as a painkiller and kills cancer cells (including ovarian). It has to be taken with a little bit of black pepper (piperine), 0.3% at least to get at the curcumin in the turmeric. It mildly thins the blood so is often started after surgery. It appears to prevent Alzheimers. Turmeric boosts mood in a number of people who take it. The more taken the more pain & inflammation goes away, and the greater its effects against cancer. As a COX-2 anti-inflammatory & painkiller it prevents a lot of the pain from chemotherapy & significantly speeds recovery from it.
Liposomal curcumin (with a little black pepper) may be by far the most effective. Curcumin appears to be effective against a type of brain cancer- glioblastoma.

Ginger
Ginger kills cancer cells, and is a major COX-2 anti-inflammatory & painkiller like turmeric. Ginger has the added benefit of stopping nausea as well as any prescription drugs, making it very useful to both stop the pain of chemotherapy, stop the nausea from chemotherapy, & speed up recovery from chemotherapy. It has even been shown more effective than chemotherapy against ovarian cancer.

Aspirin
Taking a daily aspirin is recommended for middle aged people with a family history of bowel cancer; for people with a past heart attack or stroke; for women who are 12 weeks pregnant- three days before & three days after a plane flight; for women who are pregnant and have a history of pre-eclampsia or multiple unexplained miscarriages to help blood flow to the fetus. Now new research suggests also taking a daily aspirin if a person has had any type of gastrointestinal cancer can reduce cancer recurrence by half.
Aspirin can cause excessive bleeding & ulcers, so what dosage is safest? Taking half of a baby aspirin (half of 75-80mg) before bedtime and half upon waking in the morning causes very low/little/or no side effects for most people, but reduces repeat heart attacks by 75%. Aspirin is more effective when taken at night than when taken exclusively during the daytime against heart attack.
So by taking half of a baby aspirin before bedtime & upon wakening protects against recurrent bowel cancer, protects against breast & other cancers, protects against heart attacks, and has little/low or no side effects.
ECCO-the European CanCer Organisation. “Post diagnosis aspirin improves survival in all gastrointestinal cancers, study suggests.” ScienceDaily. ScienceDaily, 27 September 2015. <www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/09/150927214242.htm>.
Aspirin & live cancer
Aspirin usage was associated with a 37% reduction in liver cancer for people with hepatitus B in one study.
American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD). “Can an aspirin a day keep liver cancer away?.” ScienceDaily. ScienceDaily, 20 October 2017. <www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/10/171020093040.htm>.
Other anti-inflammatories
Other anti-inflammatories like bromelain, MSM or boswellia (frankincense) should be equally as effective against cancer as the ones reported above, and boswellia is available in oil for for topical use as well against cancer, as is DMSO (liquid version of MSM).
MSM
MSM is derived from DMSO and can be used topically & internally (and doesn’t cause a sulfur smell). It can be mixed with water & used on the skin without irritation. Not only does it appear to be a great anti-inflammatory & anticancer on its own (it concentrates at cancer sites), but it is a solvent that may helps to carry other anticancer supplements it is mixed with both topically & internally right to the cancer.
Taking supplements with MSM may significantly increase their effectiveness against cancer.
Resveratrol
Resveratrol may help against cancer, & lasts longer & in higher concentrations when taken with quercetin or with 100% dark grape juice or dark organic grapes. The most potent form may be liposomal resveratrol. The most potent food form is in red wine vinegar, in part because the vinegar as well as the resveratrol lowers blood sugar which feeds most cancers. It also has quercetin, which raises the blood levels of the resveratrol far greater than they would with just the resveratrol only.

Vitamin D3
Taking vitamin D3 (5000-10,000 IU per day) with a meal or vegetable oil (fat soluble) to get blood levels above 50ng/ml may reduce cancer risk by 70% vs people with vitamin D3 blood levels less than 20ng/ml as well as reduce viral infections by 90%. The blood test for vitamin D3 with insurance can be as low as $20. People with cancer or on chemotherapy often have ultralow vitamin D3 levels as the body uses up its stores to fight the cancer & recover from the chemotherapy.

Medicinal mushrooms
Reishi, maitake, shitake, coliolus (turkey tail), cordyceps and Agaricus blazei Murrill (ABM) all have a lot of studies showing they are very effective against cancer. Shitake by itself has two components that as extracts are the #2 (AHCC) and #3 (letinan) most common cancer treatments in the world, and can be bought inexpensively at fungusamoungus.com in organic powder form. Shitake also has stimulates umami/savory taste buds & is a flavor enhancer in any food it is added to. ABM has worked against a large number of cancers. Coriolus (turkey tail) has a lot of studies all by itself. Agaricus bisporus in one study appeared to slow prostate cancer markers significantly. Buying a mix of these medicinal mushrooms may help fight cancer as well as any other treatment. A number of mushrooms contain a mildly toxic chemical that is killed by cooking and the mushrooms may need to be cooked to fight cancer best.
The mushroom mix from fungiology at iherb.com (Organic MushRex Plus, Full-Spectrum Mushroom Complex) are ten organic medicinal mushrooms that boost the immune system & fight cancer, and is just one option for these mushrooms.
One study of over 2000 women in China found 89% lower breast cancer rates in women who ate mushrooms and drank green tea.

Probiotics
Probiotics help stop bacterial infection of the stomach, viral infection, lower heart disease, diabetes, obesity, IBS, IBD, Crohn’s, gingivitis, tooth decay, yeast, UTIs, colitis, eczema, antibiotic diarrhea, and cancer. They push out bad bacteria. They should be taken daily an hour after a meal & 2 hours before the next. Some people take it overnight to give it the most time to flourish. Probiotics have to be taken with at least a half glass of water to have the greatest effect. Studies show a greater benefit when taken more frequently & with a larger mix of different probiotics. Since glyphosate (used in very large amounts on GMO plants) and its coingredients appears to kill the good bacteria of the stomach & increase cancer, diabetes, heart disease and obesity, anyone not eating organic can reduce its damaging effects by taking a probiotic daily. Because glyphosate is found throughout the water systems, even people who eat organic can get benefit from taking probiotics a few times a week.

Liposomal vitamin C
Liposomal vitamin C is 25 times more effective than powdered vitamin C, and 7 times more effective than injected vitamin C. It kills viral infections and speeds wound healing. In one study a weekly infusion of an average of 85grams (12grams liposomal equivalent) doubled the survival rates of people with ovarian, pancreatic, brain, nonHodgkins lymphoma, liver, colon, renal, and breast cancer. Vitamin C may be effective against lung cancer as well. Takng 12grams liposomal vitamin C daily may increase survival rates 10X or more, if the model holds for higher doses. Taking it multiple times a day before a meal may be most effective. You can make it yourself with $30-$90 ultrasound machine or buy it from mercola.com, liv-on labs or other online stores. Mercola labs capsules are only $37 for 180 at his website. It is essential that any version used must have lecithin (and of course vitamin C)..
Vitamin C has also been found to ameliorate the side effects of chemotherapy.

Mistletoe for cancer treatment
In Germany 50% of cancer patients get mistletoe as a licensed medicine partly covered by health care. In one study of 35,000 patients, 5,000 developed cancer. A rigorous design with 300 pairs matched for tumor type, stage and conventional treatment received, demonstrated that those cancer patients who also had mistletoe showed 40% longer survival. Other studies confirmed low toxicity and favorable impact on the patients’ quality of life.
It may be 70% effective vs breast cancer.
Research indicates that mistletoe extract is most effective when used in conjunction with standard medical cancer care for the treatment of solid tumors such as breast, liver, and colon cancers. Mistlestoe works alone & in combination with other cancer treatments.
As mistletoe is an immune stimulant, caution is indicated for people with autoimmune diseases.
In the USA, injectible mistetoe extract (Iscador is the most studied, Helixor, Isorel) is available by prescription for $200 a month.

Magnesium
Tests often can’t give an accurate read on magnesium deficiency. One study found more than half of people admitted to the hospital were deficient in magnesium. The safer forms to take may be citrate, taurate, malate, glycinate, chloride, carbonate.
www.naturalnews.com/046401_magnesium_dietary_supplements_nutrient_absorption.html#ixzz3THDO903K
Magnesium is essential for using vitamins C & E, and along with zinc & vitamin K2 directs calcium away from the arteries & to the bones where
its needed. Good magnesium levels are essential for cognitive function. Magnesium is very highly alkaline which helps to prevent & treat cancer taken both internally and used topically on skin cancer, breast cancer, & any cancers near the skin via magnesium chloride (magnesium oil). Magnesium also helps increase the quality & quantity of sleep, which helps to prevent cancer. Topical DMSO is sometimes used first to work against the cancer as an anti-inflammatory, and then the magesium chloride/oil is applied because DMSO bonds with a lot of substances & takes them through the skin at a much higher rate than they would be absorbed otherwise, and because the DMSO then concentrates at cancer sites in the body. This combination is especially effective against pain.
The RDA is 310-420mg daily, and many people take 500-1000mg. Topical magnesium can be very effective for pain & cramps, especially headaches & migraines. Topical DMSO is often used first because it takes magnesium thorugh the skin at very high levels. Magnesium reduces diabetes, migraines, muscle cramps, menstrual cramps, PMS symptoms, menopause symptoms, heart deaths, bone loss, anxiety, cognitive loss from Alzheimer’s. Many diseases are associated with low magnesium like mitral valve prolapse, high blood pressure, cardiac arrythmias, migraines, ADHD, autism, anxiety, asthma, allergies, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, muscle spasms, insomnia, twitching & tremors, swelling/edema, weak pulse, brain fog/confusion, osteoporosis

N-acetylcysteine (NAC)
NAC helps to kill cancer cells and attack cancer via multiple mechanisms, including by increasing insulin sensitivity and reducing blood sugar. NAC also helps to reduce cocaine addiction and cravings, nicotine addiction, marijuana addiction, compulsive gambling, as well as bipolar depression/mania symptoms, schizophrenia, grooming disorders-hair pulling, skin picking, and nail biting, and may help against OCD and autism.
NAC helps to stop acetominophen overdose induced liver failure; speeds recovery from exercise; reduces chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and may help symptoms of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF); reduces influenza by around 70% with 600mg 2x per day; inhibits the cytokine storm that can cause death in influenza & possibly other viral infections like Ebola; and fights the stomach infection Helicobacter pylori and its effects.
Most people take 300mg or 600mg 1 or 2x per day. Doses of up to 2,000 mg/day appear to be safe and effective, with a recent study showing safety when used for three months at 2,800 mg/day.

The Overlooked Compound That Saves Lives
By Julius Goepp, MD

Noni juice
Noni for pain, inflammation, cancer
Noni is a fruit found in Tahiti. It reportedly has multiple medicinal benefits. It appears to be a COX-2 inhibitor anti-inflammatory, and work especially well to protect joints. As little as 2 oz may last several days and work especially fast & effectively against pain because of it’s effects as an anti-inflammatory and its inhibition of MU receptors in the spinal cord. It may be as effective a painkiller as tramadol (Ultram), but without the side effects or addiction. In one survey of several hundred people using noni, 90% reported a significant decrease in chronic pain. Noni appears to relive constipation by increasing peristalsis, useful for people also taking opiates.
Noni also may help against cancer, gout, nausea, heartburn, ulcers, high blood pressure, stroke damage, high bad cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, bacterial/viral/fungal/parasitic infections, and difficulty hearing high frequencies. The freeze dried version may be the most potent, and if unsugared should have a bitter taste.
Noni & liver function
Noni has reportedly been consumed for several hundred years. It has high potassium, which may be contraindicated in people who have kidney problems or are on drugs that increase potassium levels. While noni in multiple studies has been shown to protect against liver damage for most, noni has been reported to be suspected of inducing liver damage in a few case reports. In the case reports people who had no indication of lowered liver function before noni recovered after they stopped taking it. One person who had a damaged liver and repeated liver crises before taking noni required a transplant. Noni very likely should not be used in anyone with lowered liver function. Using noni may be safest for people getting hospice care or temporary usage for people physically dependent on opiates if the noni helps relieve their increased pain sensitivity during withdrawal.
Noni may help to prevent cancer and reduce metastasis in people who start taking it when they have cancer.
Noni appears to lower uric acid, reducing gout.
Noni may reduce nausea & vomiting by 50% post-operation, and may reduce heartburn and H. pylori levels (ulcers).
Noni appears to lower blood pressure, perhaps in part by it’s high potassium levels.
Noni appears to reduce brain damage after a stroke.
Noni may lower LDL levels by 20% and increase HDL levels by 27%.
Noni appears to reduce diabetes & it’s symptoms.
Noni may lower overeating & aid weight loss.
Noni may improve immune response by increasing T & B cells by 35% and may be an effective antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal (including candida), and antiparasitic.
Noni usage over the long term may improve high frequency hearing.

“Due to the fact that many cancer patients have liver damage, frequently due to chemotherapy, and due to the fact that high doses of this product may, in rare cases, contribute to liver damage; doses of this product should not exceed 3 or 4 ounces a day. Those who already have liver damage should avoid this product.
Two Words of Warning: First, while no Noni Juice captures all of the cancer-fighting nutrients in the Noni Tree, understand that there is a vast, vast difference in the quality and cancer-fighting abilities between different brands of Noni Juice. It is a “let the buyer beware” market. If you don’t get satisfactory results within a reasonable amount of time, change brands. The “standard” is Tahitian Noni Juice.”
Terminal cancer patients live 75% longer if they are given noni juice, improves quality of life, less pain, improved immune response.

What may help if chemo doesn’t work/stops working?
Graviola (soursop)
Graviola is a fruit that has been used in traditional medicine for cancer for decades. It appears to reduce ATP production & reduce the energy cancer cells need to grow. While test tube studies show efficacy against cancer cells (including chemo resistant cancer cells), there are few good studies in people. Graviola may work against lymphatic/liver/breast cancer cells.
Graviola has an ingredient that in large amounts may cause neuropathy or neurological symptoms that some people have reported are ameliorated in the short term by taking it with another sugary fruit. Repeated use may cause liver or kidney damage.

Bad News and Possible Triumph; Finding The Evidence About Graviola and Paw Paw for Cancer

Paw Paw
Paw paw appears to reduce ATP production like graviola, but without the neurological or kidney/liver side effects. Paw paw has reportedly also had some efficacy against drug resistant cancer cells. Because a lot of other alternative treatments work against cancer in ways that increase ATP production, it may be most efficacious to either only combine paw paw & graviola (especially if taking paw paw simultaneously prevents the neurological side effects of graviola) or to take them by themselves.
Since both graviola & paw paw appear to have shown some efficacy against chemotherapy resistant cancer cells, graviola & paw paw may have increased efficacy in people who have had chemotherapy & had it either not work or work for a while before the cancer mutated to become immune to it.
Paw paw may be safer for longer use.
Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha significantly reduces stress (like from cancer treatment) and appears to also be a potent anticancer.

Natural Substances that Fight Malignant Melanoma
Ali Le Vere
Cannabis, hemp and cancer
A lot of studies show that multiple cannabannoids in marijuana help fight cancer. As only THC is psychoactive, the other cannabannoids are available to buy legally across the US and many other countries, as long as they are derived from hemp & not marijuana. Cannabidiol (CBD), which may reduce the psychoactive effects of THC, appears to help turn off the overexpression of the protein ID-1, which is believed to help breast, lung, ovarian, brain, and leukemia cancers to spread. Because breast cancer can also be treated topically, using marijuana oil (that has THC) or hemp oil (no THC) with CBD & other cannabannoids topically as well as by ingestion may be most effective in treating breast cancer.
Cannabis may help fight prostate, liver, colon, oral, and pancreatic cancer as well.

EDTA
EDTA is a chelating agent which appears to bind with & remove chromium, iron, mercury, copper, and lead. It has reportedly been used to treat artherosclerotic cardiovascular disease successfully, as well as scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, fatigue, arterial stenosis, bone density, heart rate, blood pressure, pulmonary function, total cholesterol, & kidney function. In one study it reduced cancer in a high risk population by 90%.

How to prevent metastases after surgery
Cancer Surgery: What You Need to Know Ahead of Time
By Dr. Steven Nemeroff, Oncology Health Advisor
Life Extension Foundation
http://cancerposts.com/PDF/surgery.pdf
Dr. Nemeroff points out that cancer often only metastasizes because of surgery to excise the primary tumor. He’s researched how to avoid this with taking modified citrus pectin and/or cimetidine (Tagamet). What may also help prevent metastases is baking soda, PSK (a coriolus mushroom extract), glutamine, mistletoe extract, ginger/astaxanthin/boswellia/bromelain/curcumin/resveratrol/nigella sativa/PEA extract or tumeric with a little black pepper, low dose naltrexone, EGCG from tea, genistein from soy, silibinin from milk thistle, avoiding morphine (tramadol best), & laproscopic instead of regular surgery.
Cimetidine (Tagamet)
Cimetidine may strengthen the immune system against cancer (colon as well), and may prevent metastases into other organs, especially when taken before and after surgery.
Cimetidine is a level one (level three highest) anticholinergic, which may increase dementia symptoms & early death.

Modified citrus pectin (MCP)
MCP is the only thing know to block galectin-3. MCP works well against prostate cancer in some studies. MCP may also prevent cancer mestastes into other organs, especially if taken right before and up to a month after surgery. MCP should be be lowered (by at least half) or discontinued if it triggers irregular heartbeat. It may be contraindicated in people taking drugs that may cause the heart to skip a beat (prolong QT, Torsades De Pointes-TDP).
MCP also appears to help remove toxic heavy metals, reduce fibrotic scarring, & inflammation.

Baking soda
Baking soda is highly alkaline and easy to take and may have few side effects. Because most cancers need a lot of sugar and a highly acidic environment to flourish, taking baking soda in between meals with water or under the tongue may make tumors less acidic and make cancer harder to grow, reducing cancer metastases in multiple studies.

Dirt cheap protocol
If looking to explore alternative treatments, it may be wisest to first try the ones that cost very little, as there may be little or no financial incentive behind them. The other benefit is that they are then affordable, and many of them can be tried together rather than relying on one or two expensive treatments.

Eating vegan
Vegans (who eat no animal products, including meat, fish, milk & eggs) appear to have 1/10 or less the colon, prostate, & breast cancer–the most common cancers (along with lung cancer), and less ovarian cancer. Lung cancer may be reduced, even with smokers, as well as most all cancers studied. The overall cancer rate may be at least halved with vegans. Solid tumors like breast, lungs, stomach, pancreas, liver, colon, prostate, uterus, ovaries may respond best to a vegan diet.

Eating organic foods
Eating organic avoids the pesticides & herbicides which appear to contribute to many cancers. Glyphosate, the #1 herbicide used on GMO plants, and Roundup’s other “inert” ingredients appear to kill the good bacteria in the gut (via shikamate pathway) & causes diabetes, heart disease, weight gain & cancer.
All organic vegetables may help kill cancer. Some may have more cancer killing properties (like cabbage, broccoli, califlower, bok choy, Brussel sprouts for their indole-3-carbinol), but all seem to have some benefits. The more vegetables eaten that make the body less acidic, the less cancer can use sugar as fuel.
One way to boost vegetables eaten is to add a bag of frozen mixed organic vegetables into any sauce being cooked. It adds texture & will taste like the sauce.
The Gerson Method consists of juicing massive amounts of organic vegetables for their cancer killing properties, as well as to make the body less acidic. A cheaper way to do this in some alternative treatment sites is to just eat more organic vegetables, and to take a 1/16th ts of baking soda before one to three meals a day (some suggest mixing it with maples syrup or honey so it gets to the cancer site better).

What type of cooking preserves vitamins the most? What increases digestibility?
Pressure cooking appears to retain more vitamins (90-95%) than steaming (75-90%), roasting (53-90%), or boiling (40-75%) because the higher pressure allows faster cooking, which is the most important factor in nutrient retention. The nutrients stay in the food or the liquid. Pressure cooking also appears to deactivate the phytic acid in beans & lentils & also lectins that interfere with nutrient absorbtion. And acrylomides and other carcinogens are almost nonexistent after cooking potatoes in a pressure cooker. Pressure cooking apparently increases the digestibility of foods like peas, beans, rice & meat more than any other cooking method, moreso if soaked. Pressure cooking in one study preserved sulforaphane from broccoli while boiling & steaming destroyed it.

12-15 hour diet
The 12 hour diet is simply not eating three hours before sleep & for 12 hours total, like between 7pm-7am, or 9pm-9am, or just not eating for 12 hours after dinner. Usually after doing this for a while people find it easy to go 15 or more hours in between eating. This diet appears to significantly enhance neural growth, and reduce blood sugar, inflammation to promote healing, obesity, cancer, & heart disease. People don’t have to change the food they eat or the amounts, but often find their appetite is lower & they eat less anyway.
The 12 hour diet appears to give the same benefits as fasting for days, or fasting for one day a week. It may be especially effective against cancer because almost all cancers are sugar sensitive. Cancer appears to rely on a blood sugar & insulin rise to feed. Lowering blood sugar & insulin & being in ketosis (explained below) may augment cancer treatment.
The 12 hour diet is the latest research on food restriction and appears to be the easiest. It may not only prevent hunger but cut the appetite so much people can lose 25% of their body weight if obese.
I’ve tried this & lost ten pounds in a couple weeks, without hunger. The key is if you stop eating at 7pm in the evening you can eat starting at 7am the next morning, and if you stop eating at 9pm at night you can start eating at 9am in the morning. The key is not to keep your eating to 12 hours a day, but to take 12 hours off of eating every day. Just save the snacks for in between the meals from breakfast until dinner.
I tried it & didn’t experience any hunger in the morning as long as I drank enough water, even doing strenuous exercise. Another person I know has done this & lost ten pounds in a couple weeks & kept them off. People don’t have to change any foods they eat- they eat whatever they normally eat (its still a good idea to eat healthy foods). In the research studies the mice on both normal or high fat & high sugar diets all got obese when they ate whenever they wanted but lost 25% of their body weight over 38 weeks when eating all they want after not eating for 12 hours overnight. They lost 25% of their body weight on exactly the same diet that got them fat when they could eat all they want but at all times of the day & night. The content of the food didn’t matter for their weight, just whether they stopped eating for 12 hours every night.
The reason I & the mice lost weight without hunger may be because this diet lowers appetite. Almost all other diets cause hunger & require will power to keep going. When I wake up in the morning during this diet I’m not hungry, & when I can’t eat for 14 or 15 hours I’m not bothered, nor when I have to do a lot of exercise before I can eat in the morning. It works best when I stop eating early in the evening (8pm) vs late at night. This apppears to be a diet that GIVES people energy & cuts their appetite- perhaps THE BEST DIET EVER 🙂
It is flexible for people because breaking it once or twice a week on nonconsecutive days doesn’t appear to stop it’s hunger lowering effects. I can say it’s the easiest weight loss I’ve ever tried, & I’ve decided to do it permanently as I don’t get any food (carb) cravings at all.

Time-Restricted Feeding without Reducing Caloric Intake Prevents Metaolic Diseases in Mice Fed a High-Fat Diet
Megumi Hatori et al.
http://fitness.mercola.com/sites/fitness/archive/2015/01/30/time-restricted-eating.aspx
The other reason this helps weight loss may be because we are more likely to use the calories we eat from 8a-8p during exercise & activity, and more likely to store the calories we eat from 8p-8a, when our metabolism is low. We can experience a 250% increase in weight gain for the calories we eat between 8p-8a, vs 8a-8p.
Carbohydrate cravings
A big trick I’ve found to cut carb cravings is to eat the high carbohydrate part of the meal (grains) first, exercise, then the fattier parts last, followed by organic unroasted nuts. This kicks me into ketosis faster (where we’re burning fat/oxylates for fuel) & as long as I drink water regularly I don’t get carb cravings.
Ketogenic diet
The vast majority of cancer appears to feed on high blood sugar levels, especially brain cancer. Eating a low carb or low glycemic & high fat diet has been used to treat cancer. Adding coconut or MCT oil may help, eating only low glycemic carbs may help, as may eating carbs early in the meal, exercising (especially short term high intensity exercise), then eating the fattiest part of the meal last, and then organic unroasted nuts. I find that I can eat a lot of carbs in this manner but get into ketosis anyway very quickly. This also avoids the drawbacks of a low carb diet.

Breast cancer
Mammograms
Mammograms don’t increase survival of breast cancer, likely because they cause compression of the breast that can spread tumors, and expose the breast to a large dose of radiation (especially 3D) that makes cancer more likely. One analysis shows that after 10 mammograms the chances of a false positive & further radiation testing & unnecessary treatment are over 50%.
Thermography appears to be far safer & more effective. Taking 1/2 ts baking soda w water on an empty stomach 2x a day, 50k vitD3 2x a week with a meal with fat or under the tongue, 600mg alpha lipoic acid on wakeup & right before or after every meal (if 200lbs), taking C60/methylene blue/or cheapest 1/32 ts niacinamide 3x a day to turn mitochondria on (it kills cancer) & one tb freshly ground or frozen organic flaxseed before every vegetable meal (modified Budwig protocol) is a far easier way to prevent cancers.

Biophosphonates
Biophosphonates, specifically aldronic acid can cause jaw disintegration & brittle bones. Vitamin K2 in supplements or made from vitK1 in dark leafys like kale, or in organic natto takes calcium away from arteries & builds bone & reduces breast cancer.

Mangosteen juice is a major anti-inflammatory that appears to help kill colorectal, prostate, skin, and leukemia cancer. It may be especially effective against some types of breast cancer as it has aromatase-inhibiting xanthones that lower estrogen levels and are far safer and more effective than tamoxiphen. It should be avoided in women who are breastfeeding, are or are possible to get pregnant.

Spirulina- DHA omega 3 fatty acid & the liver
Fatty liver disease is often associated with obesity, alcohol and sugar, especially high fructose corn syrup and can cause inflammation, oxidative stress, and fibrosis that can lead to liver damage and failure. Treatments are to avoid alcohol and sugar, especially high fructose corn syrup and to lose weight, all of which appear to halt/reduce/reverse fatty liver disease.
DHA is an omega3 fatty acid found in fish (as is EPA) that eat the algae spirulina. DHA appears to prevent liver damage/hepatic steatosis (1,5,7,8,9), increase insulin sensitivity (5,8), and to significantly reduce inflammation, oxidative stress, and fibrosis in mice who had fatty liver disease (2). DHA also appeared to prevented necroinflammatory liver injury in mice (3). In human studies (adults (4) and children (6)) DHA & EPA appeared to reduce fatty liver (4,5), improve insulin sensitivity (6), and prevent liver damage (10) in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
The importance of this is significant, as many treatments for fatty liver disease rely on weight loss to reduce or reverse the fatty liver disease. To find DHA stops the damage from fatty liver disease gives doctors a different way to help people protect themselves from further damage even if they can’t immediately lose enough weight to reverse the fatty liver disease.
DHA & EPA fatty acids may also work as strong as prescription antidepressants in improving mood, increase concentration/memory/test scores, and reduce schizophrenic episodes twice as well as prescription antipsychotics, and also help ADHD, autism, and bipolar disorder. They may also lower LDL, blood pressure and high triglyceride levels in the blood and reduce inflammation in arthritis.
Organic spirulina is inexpensive in both powder or wafer (tablet) form. I have found that it needs to be eaten in a meal with a vegetable in order to be fully usable. DHA is also available as a spirulina extract, and in fish oil (much more expensive).

Taking fluorouracil at night is best against breast & colon cancer, it works better w/less SE on healthy GI tract
Oral flouropyrimidines increase survival in people with colon cancer.
Capecitabine and oxaliplatin better outcomes & less side effects than capecitabine and irinotecan. Irinotecan or bevacizumab don’t seem to improve outcomes in other combinations as well, sometimes makes outcomes worse, and irinotecan causes steatohepatitis. Oxaliplatin & FOLFOX/FOLFIRI are the most effective chemo agent. 5-FU +/- oxaliplatin are best.
Also, KRAS/NRAS/BRAF gene mutations cause antiepidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal
antibodies cetuximab and panitumumab to be ineffective or harmful.

Cancer cells typically grow very fast compared to most other cells in the body. Traditional chemotherapy is not specifically targeted biochemically for any individual cancer, but instead is a substance so toxic it kills all fast growing cells in the body. This often shrinks tumors but also kills fast growing healthy cells in many parts of the body, including the taste buds & cells in our organs. So the effectiveness of chemotherapy is determined by how much it reduces tumors vs how many cells it kills in our organs. Because chemotherapy has such toxic effects on the rest of the body, the chemotherapy may often reduce tumor size but kill the cancer patient. Chemotherapy appears to only increase longevity to five years survival with some types of leukemias, some types of Hodgkin’s disease detected early enough, and testicular cancer. Overall chemotherapy may only increases five year survival in 2% of cancers. Cancer may frequently become immune to subsequent rounds of chemotherapy. Chemotherapy may too often damages the immune system as well. So the tumors shrink & the cancer goes into remission temporarily, but then if the immune system is damaged when the cancer comes back it may kill the patient very quickly, finding little resistance. With at least prostate, breast, and ovarian cancers chemotherapy appears to make our bodies secrete chemicals that makes tumors grow & become resistant to further treatment.
So the question to ask your doctor is- is the treatment the traditional chemotherapy that kills the fastest growing cells in the body (including the healthy ones), or is it a targeted drug treatment against your specific type of cancer that doesn’t attack healthy fast growing cells? If it is traditional chemotherapy, it only works against some of the three cancers stated above. Ask your doctor what the five year survival improvement is in the drug s/he is suggesting for your specific type of cancer. If the doctor can’t give evidence of an increased survival rate, ask the doctor what the negative side effects of the drug are & why if the drug doesn’t increase your chances of living longer would the side effects be worth it?
Repeat studies appear to find that traditional toxic chemotherapy not only help increase survival significantly for only 2-3% of patients, but increase mortality for people with some types of cancer (like lung in one study).

Chemotherapy & brain damage
Chemotherapy may also attack brain cells & can reduce cognitive function. A large number of patients & studies in multiple meta-analyses found consistent cognitive impairment in people after chemotherapy. Smaller grey matter in the brain, memory dysfunction, cognitive complaints, and oxidative DNA damage are common in people who’ve had chemotherapy. Cognition appears to be worst with longer duration of chemotherapy and chemotherapy for lymphomas.

Chemo-brain treatments
Anti-inflammatories like turmeric (curcumin), ginger, astaxanthin, bromelain, boswellia (frankincense) appear to reduce pain & speed up healing of the organs affected by chemotherapy, including the brain. Turmeric also appears to improves mood in some people, and ginger may reduce nausea & sometimes stomach upset.
Spirulina is the source for EPA & DHA omega3 fatty acids found in fish & added to every almost baby formula because it improves concentration and mood.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine & L-Carnitine is an amino acid that appears to improve concentration, mood, and energy.
Huperzine is an herb that may increase choline in the brain, increasing concentration.
Taking vitamin B complex (methyl or coenzyme may work best) may increase concentration.
How well do the “new” cancer drugs work?
It appears not so well, when they are even tested to see if they improve survival. In a review of 71 drugs approved by the FDA between 2002-2014, only 42% showed clinically significant benefit, and the average for these often $10,000 per month drugs (now often much more) was 2.3 months increased survival, and that meager benefit is often with studies rife with poor designs & controls. Since drug companies are beginning to ask for $10,000 a month (or more) for many new drugs, this runs to $60,000-$100,000 for six months treatment.

Chemotherapy, yes or no?
The key with the chemotherapies or the new cancer drugs is to ask, what does the outcome research say for this specific drug for this specific cancer? What is the average lifespan extension? The question is not about whether the drugs shrink tumors. Lots of drugs including chemo drugs shrink tumors temporarily before the cancer becomes immune to them. Because the drugs may also often suppress or damage the immune system the cancer may come back very quickly & takes over with no resistance.
The decision, as always, should be based on side effects, cost, & how much longer people live extra from the treatment. Taking astaxanthin/organic turmeric/organic ginger/bromelain/boswellia anti-inflammatories, vitamin D3, organic medicinal mushrooms, probiotics, liposomal C, milk thistle, and spirulina are inexpensive, appear to have low/little/no side effects for most, and appear to have great outcome research against cancer.
How to make traditional chemotherapy far more effective & far less toxic
Test them first-
In Germany all cancer patients get their cancer cells biopsied and cultured and they test multiple chemotherapies & drugs to see which kill your specific cancer cells the best. Then they only use drugs found most successful against your specific cancer. This method was able in one study to predict with 100% accuracy which drugs would not work, and 88% accuracy which drugs would work against the cancer.

Use insulin to make cancer vulnerable-
Most cancers appear sugar dependent. Cancer may grow fastest when it has a lot of sugar for energy. Cancer protects itself against the immune system, only exposing itself when it senses sugar is available to feed on. Getting an insulin injection right before chemotherapy has been reported to make the cancers far more vulnerable to the drugs as the cancer opens itself up to what it thinks is a sugar surge, requiring far lower doses of chemo to get the same tumor killing effect, saving much of the healthy cells & organs from chemotherapy’s damaging effects.
Mix with DMSO-
It has also been reported that the anti-inflammatory solvent DMSO has a high affinity for tumors & cancer cells, congregating there when injected and lowering cancer metastasis. Because as a solvent DMSO can mix with half of all chemicals, finding out which of the chemotherapies that worked best to kill your individual cancer that also can be mixed and injected with DMSO may increase the targeting of the chemotherapy to the cancer cells and tumors & reduce the exposure of healthy organs to the chemotherapy. So testing to see which chemotherapy agent kills your cancer cells the best, which of those will mix with DMSO, and injecting insulin right before the effective chemotherapy/DMSO mix should require far less of the toxic chemotherapy drug, should maximize its concentration at & effectiveness against the tumor & cancer cells, and minimize its concentration at & effects on your healthy organs.

Use in the evening-
There’s some evidence that giving chemotherapy in the evening works best.
Chemotherapy & kidney function
Cordyceps mushrooms may help to protect and preserve kidney function, essential when taking toxic chemotherapy drugs.
Baking soda may help kidney function if stressed or damaged. Baking soda is used to treat many poisonings or overdoses involving drugs that block volage-gated sodium channels including- benzotropines (valium), cyclic antidepressants (amytriptayine), organophosphates, methanol, diphenhydramine (Benedryl), beta blockers (propanalol), barbiturates, salicylates (Aspirin), cocaine, quinidine, procainamide, flecainide, mexiletine, and bupivacaine- helping to stop intraventricular conduction defects, myocardial depression, bradycardia, and ventricular arrhythmias. Oncology doctors use it to mitigate the effects of toxic chemotherapy drugs.

Anemia meds
Anemia meds often taken by kidney dialysis patients may increase death rate, cancer progression, deep vein bloodclots, & heart damage.
Chemotherapy & liver function
Because the liver also helps to get rid of some toxic chemotherapies, anything that helps liver function & recovery may helps lower the damage from toxic chemotherapy. Coffee may lower liver cancer, help stop liver disease, help lower the damage from hepatitus C, and lowers deaths from cirrhosis. Milk thistle may help the liver get rid of toxins, protect the liver & help the liver recover from injury, and to kill cancer cells. Omega3 fatty acids (DHA & EPA) found in spirulina (taken with a vegetable) may protect the liver and help to kill cancer cells as well.
Chemotherapy and appetite
Because chemotherapy can kill taste buds and cells in the digestive tract, people going through chemotherapy often lose their appetite and can feel nautious after treatment. Foods they used to love now can taste metallic. What may help are antinauseants like ginger, which as an anti-inflammatory may help protect & heal faster from chemotherapy as well as helping to kill the cancer. Turmeric (with a little black pepper) or curcumin extract is an anti-inflammatory that may help protect & heal the body while killing cancer cells and also boosts mood in many people. Astaxanthin is an algae extract (must be taken with food-fat soluble) that also is an anti-inflammatory and anticancer and doesn’t appear to thin the blood (less worry during surgery) and may speed healing. Bromelain is a pineapple extract that may protect against chemo’s effects as well as boswellia (frankencense).
Many people taking turmeric & ginger throughout their cancer treatment have far less or no pain & appetite loss from chemotherapy, depending on how much turmeric & ginger they take (and astaxanthin, bromelsometimesain, boswellia). Ironically & sadly, doctors often suggest their patients stop all treatments other than the chemotherapy or radiation. So the patient ends up in much greater pain & nausea and stops their chemotherapy or radiation treatments early. If the doctor had worked with the patient, oftentimes the side effects of chemotherapy or radiation therapy are reduced enough to get an extra round of treatment.
While taking chemotherapy it may be a good time to try new foods or foods people didn’t like as much before, because the key to eating is finding foods that taste ok. They won’t be permanent, and by not trying to keep eating the usual foods it prevents people associating nausea with the foods they like. Once chemotherapy is over and tastes start to change is a good time to reintroduce the previously favorite foods.
