Alternatives in Cancer Therapy


Book Description

Alternatives in Cancer Therapy offers help for all patients coping with cancer.

Alternative Treatment For Cancer


Book Description

Cancer treatment has enjoyed half a century of healthy development, relying mainly on surgery, cytotoxic therapy and radiation. Achievements and successes are well reflected in the longer survival period and better quality of life. Nonetheless, cancer still spreads locally, recurs, metastasizes and remains one of the top killers.Instead of concentrating on cancer removal, it has become obvious that supportive measures are also important. These include the means to improve quality of life during treatment and to contain tumor growth. To this end, herbal medicine appears to offer holistic support via as yet unknown pathways.This volume reveals the practice of cancer treatment using herbs from all over the world, including China, India and Japan. It provides comprehensive information about the herbs commonly used, the logic of using the herbs, some of the mechanisms of action and other means of palliative treatment. While cancer victims have a thirst for choosing their own supplementary treatment, health providers have a duty to explain to them the justifications and the options.

The Cure and Cause of Cancer


Book Description

As a registered acupuncturist, I have been researching for over 30 years on the best alternative holistic - body, mind and spirit - functional medicine based therapies for healing cancer and degenerative diseases that work. The main focus of the seven books of You Hold the Keys to Healing - is to heal the body, mind, and emotions by building the Qi of the energy body (lightbody or energy bubble) while achieving Self-realization through meditation and Qigong. This final seventh book "The Cure & Cause of Cancer: An Alternative Holistic Approach to Heal Cancer," is focused on the therapeutic measures to heal cancer manifesting in the body through the Budwig diet, Cessiac herbal formulas, electrotherapy, alkaline water, coconut oil, reishi mushroom and other tonic herbs to detox the body and boost the body's Wei Qi immune system fostering an anti-cancer terrain. Oriental medicine such as acupuncture, acupressure, pranic healing, meditation, and Qigong are also used to balance and build the body's Qi. An important therapeutic tool emphasized in this book is the addition of an unorthodox therapy using hydrazine sulfate to address the wasting syndrome problem often seen with cancer patients: cachexia. Basically, hydrazine sulfate inhibits gluconeogenesis (the liver's recycling of lactic acid into glucose) where the sugar is consumed in ever-increasing amounts by voracious cancer cells, and halt the leading cause of death in cancer: cachexia. Dr. Joseph Gold, the developer of hydrazine sulfate therapy said, "For the past 50 years the attention of the medical profession has been focused on the tumor. But all attempts to treat the tumor - to kill the tumor and therefore wipe out the disease - have in general been futile. During the past 50 years the death rate from this disease has reportedly hardly budged, decreasing at the most 5 percent overall, and in the major cancers not decreasing at all. Cytotoxic chemotherapy, the major weapon to defeat cancer in the last 50 years, has succeeded in killing cancer cells, but in killing normal cells, too, and has been itself a cause of cancer mortality. Effective cancer control may lie, rather, with therapy of the 'shift' to glycolysis, than with tumor therapy, potentially obviating such developments as drug resistance and major drug toxicity. In this regard it is recognized that not only can the "metabolic shift to enhanced glycolysis" provide a basis for cancer treatment but that discovery of the regulatory mechanism(s) underlying this metabolic shift may be essential to the future development of anti-cancer therapy." Why do I, as a licensed health care professional, recommend Hydrazine Sulfate to my patients who are under the care of their medical doctors? Hydrazine sulfate is marketed in the United States and Canada as a dietary supplement /nutraceutical by some companies. In the United States and Canada, dietary supplements are regulated as foods, not drugs. In my over 30 years of cancer research, I also believe that hydrazine sulfate is the missing important therapeutic tool to solve the riddle of the wasting syndrome - cachexia - in cancer, and stop the voracious cancer cells to use glucose. "These studies in essence suggest that it would be sheer insanity for a cancer patient failing current therapy, not to try hydrazine sulfate. To wait until his/her disease becomes truly terminal, from which there is no return." - Dr. Gold BOOK UPDATES The main reasons for the updates: 1) I have included powerful herbs, ketogenic diet and coconut oil for cancer which are natural substitutes for the intake of hydrazine sulfate, an MAO inhibitor medication. 2) I have also included the reasons for acupuncture and the practice of meditation and Qigong as vital adjuncts to natural cancer therapy. 3) Finally, an electromagnetic healing technology invented in the Philippines can rebuild the body's Qi field by supplying negative ions needed to heal cancer and other chronic degenerative dise
