and optimal nutrition to fight cancer, positive energy represents another foundational principle for opposing cancer growth. This energy comes in many forms, all of which are beneficial. And the more varieties you can employ, the better. These include interventions like music therapy, meditation, guided imagery, yoga and massage therapy, as well as energy work by a therapist. Also beneficial: Daily sunlight, exercise, making love or anything that infuses the positive energy of bliss, peace and contentment.

Nutrient and Herbal Supplements

Hundreds of natural cancer-inhibiting supplements are available, so many you can’t include all or even most in an individual program. But some are particularly important. A natural-therapy store knows about these and can offer them to you.

Some of the most important are (recommended doses are in parentheses):

Amino acid supplementation: L-lysine (3 grams daily), L-proline (1.5 grams a day), L-arginine (2 grams a day), as first presented by Dr. Matthias Rath.

Beta Glucan: a fibrous, complex sugar derived from baker’s yeast, oat and barley fiber, and maitake mushrooms.

Black walnut, sweet wormwood (Artemisinin) and cloves: This powerful trio cleanses parasites, which infect many cancer patients. Use only occasionally.

Blood root (Sanguinarine): Kills skin cancer cells by inducing apoptosis (cell death) in a dose-dependent manner without affecting normal human skin cells. The juice extracted from this root is applied topically.

Cat’s claw: Herb that grows in Asia and the Peruvian rain forests. Two cohort studies (not in scientific literature) of patients with cancer reported positive effects. It contains alkaloids with anti-cancer and anti-tumor activity, that also stimulate the immune system.

Coenzyme Q10: This life-giving enzyme is a potent antioxidant (400 mg a day) and generator of ATP in normal cells.

Curcumin: Proven to kill cancerous cells and slow damage to DNA in healthy cells. This powerful antioxidant is the active ingredient of the Indian spice turmeric.

Essiac tea: Promotes cell repair, effective nutrient assimilation and elimination of cellular waste. The four main herbs in Essiac tea include burdock root, slippery elm bark, sheep sorrel and Indian rhubarb root.

Ellagic Acid: Inhibits tumor growth caused by carcinogens. This powerful antioxidant comes from various berries, walnuts, pecans and pomegranates.

Graviola and Paw Paw: From trees in the rainforests along the Amazon; leaves, roots, fruit, fruit seeds, and bark are used by South America native healers. It kills cancer by blocking ATP production so cancer cells become programmed to die (called apoptosis). (Research is at http://www.pawpawresearch.com/ )

Green tea extract: Proven to slow down cancer growth. In 2003, scientists at the University of Rochester’s Environmental Health Science Center found that two chemicals in green tea similar to the bioflavonoids — epigallocatechin 3-gallate (EGCG) and epicatechin-3-gallate (EGC) — inhibit the activity of a key molecule that becomes toxic when exposed to tobacco smole. It was found in 2004 that 2 to 3 cups of green tea have enough active EGCG to bind to a protein found on the surface of lung cancer cells and dramatically slow its growth.

Hydrazine sulfate: Blocks a liver enzyme that allows cancer cells to thrive. A Russian study demonstrated hydrazine sulfate’s effectiveness in 740 cancer patients (many had received conventional treatments without success) and achieved a 50.8 percent tumor stabilization or regression after just three weeks of therapy. Then, our wonderful NCI (National Cancer Institute) did a study designed to sabotage its use. (Read more at http://alternativecancer.us/hydrazinesulfate.htm.)

Laetrile (Vitamin B 17 or amygdaline): Reportedly found in more than 800 plants, including the seeds of apricots, apples, peaches and cherries. The renowned biochemist Ernst T. Krebs Jr. isolated this and called it vitamin B17. Numerous reports and studies demonstrate its effectiveness against cancer since 1970. The NCI also studied their own version of laetrile and reported it to be useless despite all the other studies (Dr. James Cason at U.C. Berkeley reportedly tested the “laetrile” used in the NCI study only to find it did not contain any laetrile). It is most safely given by IV under a doctor’s direction, but you must obtain it outside the U.S. ($160/month) to avoid prosecution by FDA watchdogs. (Learn more online at http://alternativecancer.us/laetrile.htm.)

MGN-3: Made from rice bran and enzymatically treated with sugar chains from shiitake, kawaratake and surehrotake mushrooms. It enhances natural killer (NK) white blood cell activity as well as B-cells and T-cells. It can cost $260 the first month and $120 monthly thereafter.

Modified citrus pectin: Binds to cancer cells inhibiting their ability to aggregate and metastasize.

OPC (Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins): Grape-seed extracts are proven to cause apoptosis both in the laboratory1 and by clinical report. Americans annually spend more tha $141 million on grape-seed products as use of these supplements grow. Plenty of people testify to their effectiveness.

Pau d’ arco: Powerful pain reliever and cancer fighter found in the bark of a South American tree. Studies show pau d’arco killed lung cancer cells in the laboratory experiments and slowed down cancer growth in mice. (www.paudarco.com)

Protocel and Cantron: A compound first introduced by a chemist, James Sheridan of Rosell, Mich., in the 1920s. The NCI has issued opposing reports. Shown to be strongly anti-cancer and antiviral in nature, yet safe in recommended dosing. (Numerous testimonials available at http://alternativecancer.us/testi.htm.)

Resveratrol: Compound found in the skin of grapes, this natural substance has significant anti-cancer properties. The FDA has authorized trans-resveratrol to be registered as a new investigational neutraceutical drug for cancer treatment research.

Vitalzym or Wobenzym: When taken in high doses, these proteolytic enzymes digest cancer tissues and break down fibrin molecules in the blood stream. These are used in the Dr. Kelley/Gonzales enzyme therapy protocol.

Vitamin supplementation: The most bio-available vitamins come from whole food extracts because they are bio-identical to what the body best utilizes. These do not contain any synthetic or fractionated vitamins and are not synthesized from a chemistry lab

Yeast fighters: Olive leaf extract, whole leaf aloe vera extract, oil of oregano and grapefruit extract (seed) all fight yeast, an underlying culprit linked to immune weakness.
