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

The Cancer Prevention Book


Book Description

Dr Rosy Daniel, former medical director of the Bristol Cancer Help Centre, has written a comprehensive book on the holistic approach to the prevention of cancer, which is factual, upbeat and completely practical. She describes exactly what cancer is, who is at risk and why prevention and not treatment is the only real solution to the war on cancer. She then guides the reader step by step through removing the risk factors from their lives and she goes on to describe how to work to achieve positive health through the eradication of stress and the use of energy medicines, healthy eating, self-help approaches and exercise, and stresses the crucial importance of the state of mind and spirit on the body. Dr Daniel asserts that it is vital that all those wishing to prevent cancer learn from the examples of those who have had it, and act now to get their lives fully back on track, in order to revive their defence mechanisms and prevent this awful disease. By taking a hard look at the causes of cancer one is left in no doubt whatsoever as to why and how cancer has reached such horrendous epidemic proportions, affecting four in ten of us in our lifetime. This is a highly positive book which will provoke a great deal of thought and highly constructive action in all who read it.




Treating Cancer with Herbs


Book Description

Cancer is the scourge of our age. More than any other disease, cancer has captured our fears and projected despair throughout society. Our bodies have become the experimental "real life" testing grounds for countless chemical toxins, pollutants, refined foods and stresses. These toxins are clearly exerting their effect in the rise of numerous forms of cancer striking every part of our bodies. The medical profession is attempting to attack these cancers with every available form of chemical, radiation, and invasive surgery. While modern medicine has long recognized the healing potential of herbs (some of the most commonly used cancer medicines were originally developed from herbs), we have been indoctrinated to believe that surgery, radiation and chemical therapies are the only successful procedures, even though they tend to fail much of the time and may actually destroy the quality of life to such a degree that many believe the "cure" is wors than the disease. There is another approach to the treatment of cancer. Finding cancer's root causes and applying a holistic understanding of lifestyle, diet, stress-reduction and appropriate nutritional and herbal support can strengthen the body and its immune system, restore the spirit and balance the psyche of the cancer patient. With this integrative approach, a healthy mental and emotional balance joins a healthy approach to life to truly treat cancer. Not every cancer patient is "cured," but every patient is brought to a state of understanding which in many cases leads to what appear to be miraculous remissions. In other cases, it allows the individual to experience a quality of life and passing uncommon in our society: the ability to face life and death with dignity and a sense of completion.

Overcoming Cancer and Other Diseases in a Holistic Way


Book Description

Cancer, one of the largest threats to our modern society, is increasing-especially in highly developed countries of economic success. There may be a reason for this. In spite of millions of dollars spent yearly in research and development, we have not found an ultimate cure. We still rely on three methods: operation, radiation and chemotherapy, which may have fair results, but come with seriously damaging side effects.This book is not intended to describe a medical method, nor is it trying to replace the medical procedures, although it might do just that. It is a book of one holistic approach, attempting to give help to our body, or ease the side effects caused by other medical procedures. The method described here is derived from the standpoint that we all possess extraordinary healing power given to us by nature, within ourselves.".I was suffering from recurrent ovarian cancer.almost immediately after my first session with Kazuko, my energy picked up, my appetite returned, my indigestion stopped and the fluid in my abdomen subsided.it is obvious that the tumor I have in my pelvic area has shrunk dramatically from this therapy.I am forever grateful to Kazuko and will spread the news of this non-toxic, rejuvenating therapy that can help ailments of all kinds." -Excerpt fromOvercoming Cancer and Other Diseases in a Holistic Way

Advancing the Science of Cancer in Latinos


Book Description

This open access book gives an overview of the sessions, panel discussions, and outcomes of the Advancing the Science of Cancer in Latinos conference, held in February 2018 in San Antonio, Texas, USA, and hosted by the Mays Cancer Center and the Institute for Health Promotion Research at UT Health San Antonio. Latinos – the largest, youngest, and fastest-growing minority group in the United States – are expected to face a 142% rise in cancer cases in coming years. Although there has been substantial advancement in cancer prevention, screening, diagnosis, and treatment over the past few decades, addressing Latino cancer health disparities has not nearly kept pace with progress. The diverse and dynamic group of speakers and panelists brought together at the Advancing the Science of Cancer in Latinos conference provided in-depth insights as well as progress and actionable goals for Latino-focused basic science research, clinical best practices, community interventions, and what can be done by way of prevention, screening, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer in Latinos. These insights have been translated into the chapters included in this compendium; the chapters summarize the presentations and include current knowledge in the specific topic areas, identified gaps, and top priority areas for future cancer research in Latinos. Topics included among the chapters: Colorectal cancer disparities in Latinos: Genes vs. Environment Breast cancer risk and mortality in women of Latin American origin Differential cancer risk in Latinos: The role of diet Overcoming barriers for Latinos on cancer clinical trials Es tiempo: Engaging Latinas in cervical cancer research Emerging policies in U.S. health care Advancing the Science of Cancer in Latinos proves to be an indispensable resource offering key insights into actionable targets for basic science research, suggestions for clinical best practices and community interventions, and novel strategies and advocacy opportunities to reduce health disparities in Latino communities. It will find an engaged audience among researchers, academics, physicians and other healthcare professionals, patient advocates, students, and others with an interest in the broad field of Latino cancer.
