CANCER AND ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES
by Lawrence Wilson, MD
© May 2008, The Center For Development
Cancer is often a frightening condition and even the word strikes fear in many people. The four or more articles about cancer on this website are designed to approach the subject differently from the medical way.
I know from many experiences that cancer is not a incurable condition if it is caught early enough and one is willing to commit to a program of deep healing and not submit to conventional therapies that can cripple the bodyÕs immune response. This article will discuss its origins and its natural approaches.
ÒThe National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society have misled and confused the public and Congress by repeated false claims that we are winning the war against cancer Ð claims made to create public and Congressional support for massive increases in budgetary appropriations.Ó
- Dr. Samuel Epstein, MD, author of The Politics of Cancer Revisited, 1998.
This is not an article about politics. I include this quote, however, because it introduces a 770-page book about the total corruption of government cancer research and the American Cancer Society. The Òwar on cancerÓ is largely a fraud and waste of taxpayer dollars, sadly, as it has become controlled by the pharmaceutical industry and its allies.
Alternative cancer methods, such as the two described in this article, have been intentionally ignored and worse, lied about by the very agencies and organizations people trust for true information about cancer. This is important information and is perfectly documented in The Politics of Cancer and similar books.
DISCLAIMER: This article and all our material is for educational purposes only. It is not intended as diagnosis, treatment or prescription for any disease or condition. Also, each person is responsible for his or her own health so we make no claims for any approach to any illness or condition.
THE STORY OF CANCER
Cancer, according to many researchers, it a normal cell line of the body that expresses at the wrong time and place. The cell line is called the trophoblast.
The trophoblast means Òto nourish the blast or babyÓ. The cell line arises during the first eight to twelve weeks of pregnancy. Its function is to nourish the fetus until what is called the critical period of pregnancy, when the placenta grows and takes over the job of nourishing the fetus.
The trophoblast is an ancient cell line, left over, as it were, from earlier forms of life. These forms never grow a placenta, as mammals do. In these ancient animals, the trophoblast was the only tissue to nourish the fetus during shorter pregnancies.
However, it was not adequate for the higher animals that require longer pregnancy periods for their more complex nervous systems and other organ development.
Thus the trophoblast is a relic of past evolution. As our bodies age and break down slowly, this older tissue line becomes active and this is what we call cancer.
This has been proven repeatedly in many studies and was discovered as early as 1902 by John Beard, MD, an early embryologist and physician.
PREVENTION IS FIRST, ALWAYS
Prevention is the first key to success with cancer. This is the one disease that is far easier to prevent than to cure in most all cases. Here is why:
1. It is a stealth illness in most cases. That is, it has few symptoms at first and in the early stages.
2. Dissolving tumors is not that easy for the human body, especially one with impaired eliminative organs. This greatly slows healing of cancer and causes many failures in natural and conventional cancer therapies. The bodyÕs detoxification system is just overwhelmed. This is one reason Protocel is great in that it appears to assist detoxifcatiion. It is also why coffee enemas are a key. Skipping them with cancer is just plain foolishness.
3. Cancer is difficult to treat at best in older people, and these are the ones who usually suffer with it.
4. Caner treatment, especially conventional treatment, has been inflated terribly due to insurance covering the cost, or most of it. However, handling cancer need not be that costly, as we will see.
5. Cancer is life-threatening and will take the life if one does not stop it. Thus, just slowing it down is better than nothing, but is not enough, as it is with many other illnesses. Cancer must be stopped, as a general rule, or life will end sooner, if not later.
For all these reasons, prevention of cancer is of utmost importance. Let us discuss the three types of prevention of cancer.
Primary prevention. This consists of eating correctly, cleanliness, and drinking pure water. It also consists of balancing the body and keeping it balanced and as healthful as possible. This will delay, but not prevent most cancers.
Secondary prevention is the use of tests and procedures that may be able to detect very early cancers, long before they show up on any medical tests. These methods may include scans of various kinds, even some newer medical ones.
However, most often I mean the use of radionic and other electronic machines used by a few holistic practitioners that can detect a tendency for cancer very early on. These types of machines will grow in popularity as their value is appreciated, especially for detecting cancer.
Teritary prevention includes any method to help mitigate cancer once it is detected on an x-ray or other scan such as as MRI, CAT, PET or other.
These machines only detect a mass of tissue of a certain diameter. Often they miss some cancer as well. So detection with scans of this nature is often late in the game, especially for older people who have lower vitality levels. However, they save lives at times.
Tertiary prevention in medical circles might include reducing the size of a tumor or clearing it from the body with surgery or drugs, even if one knows that the cancer is still growing elsewhere. Thus it is not the same as treating the cancer, as they say.
If the AMASS, HCG (or human chorionic gonadotropin test) or other ÒcontroversialÓ tests were used more often, it would help staging of cancer. It would also give doctors and others much more information about progress in areas where the cancer is not visible or operable. Information about these and other controversial cancer screening tests is available on the internet.
In addition, these tests may detect it much earlier in some cases so they would assist primary and secondary prevention as well. Someday soon I hope the Navarro HCG test and AMASS tests, among others, will be used more often.
Beware of medical Òpreventive testingÓ. Having said this, beware of invasive and dangerous methods of ÒpreventionÓ, whether primary, secondary or tertiary prevention.
X-rays of the breasts, for example, increase cancer incidence. Ultrasound or infrared thermal diagnostics, by contrast, are much safer. This is just one example of how prevention must be carefully thought out.
However, an excellent and simple blood and urine cancer screening panel is available from American Metabolic Laboratories for anyone, even without a doctorÕs prescription. See the references for more information about this lab.
SAUNA THERAPY AS PRIMARY, SECONDARY AND TERTIARY PREVENTION OF CANCER
The particular use of a near infrared heat lamp sauna each day for half an hour or more is a simple, cost-effective method of cancer prevention. A far infrared type could be used but is not as good.
Saunas do far more than just reduce the risk of cancer, and is not a specific cancer therapy, unless combined with other products and procedures. Thus it also prevents a dozen other devastating illnesses, at least, and actually rejuvenates the body as it does so.
For toxic metals and toxic chemicals. Sauna therapy helps remove from storage and release all toxic metals, including even some uranium and others. It can also help reduce the toxic chemical burden, a major problem in some individuals, though less critical in most cases than the toxic metal problem.
For infections. It can also help remove infections that are extremely deep-seated and chronic in most cases. However, these also contribute to cancer in most cases.
The teeth are notorious as places where chronic infections lodge, for example. Many people have healed their cancer when they removed old root canals and what are called cavitations, or slight infections in the bones and gums areas.
These often give no symptoms at all, yet are critical to end the cancer scourge. Here the sauna excels, especially the infrared lamp sauna, as it penetrates deeply and can uproot these infections, often without expensive surgical procedures. However, root canals must often be removed completely to end infection in these teeth.
Comfortable and cost-effective. The
sauna is quite comfortable and just requires an extra hour or more of oneÕs
time. However, it is time well
spent.
Cancer shortens the life cycle by
years, often. So spending an hour
daily is not much to sacrifice if it helps, and it does help a lot.
The only issues with saunas are the initial cost and the time required. Otherwise, most people, even elderly, can use a sauna for 20-40 minutes daily. See our article entitled Sauna Therapy for much more information about this rather amazing therapy.
If one is serious about cancer prevention, include the use of a near infrared (or a far infrared type if the near infrared is not available) as a primary preventive therapy.
To build a sauna is not difficult. Free plans are on this website at Sauna Plans. Also, we offer a book, Sauna Therapy, with more plans and we sell, at this time, an inexpensive but excellent little one-person lamp sauna for under $600.00. This is also described on this website on the page entitled Buy A Sauna.
Protocel For Prevention. Protocel is a superb natural cancer therapy that is discussed in the section below. It can be used preventively also. Unlike conventional cancer drugs, it is so non-toxic that a healthy person can use it each year of his or her life for a month or for two months, ideally.
This will delay or prevent the onset of cancer in many instances. The preventive effect is somewhat less for those over the age of 40, as the vitality level drops lower at this time. It is still excellent, however.
ALTERNATIVE CANCER THERAPIES OF
WHICH I APPROVE
PROTOCEL
Protocel is a simple, inexpensive method that helps with many forms of cancer. It comes in two strengths and is easily available. The cost is about $60.00 per month or less.
Caution with Protocel. Do not combine this product with vitamin C, selenium, coenzyme-Q-10 and a few other supplements. When you order the product, a list of these is provided. Be sure to follow these instructions for maximum benefit.
Products that combine well with it include the herb paw paw, bromelain, vitamin D3 germanium 132 and larch, a flower essence.
Origins of Protocel. Protocel was developed almost 50 years ago by Jim Sheridan, a chemist by training. Sheridan lived in the Detroit, Michigan area. He originally called the fomula Entelev and later it was called Cancell.
Protocel is the latest and probably the best version of it. Another available product called Cantron. It is similar and may be identical, but is not endorsed by the original family that developed Protocel.
Jim Sheridan worked closely with William Koch, MD. Koch was a brilliant doctor who, at the time, was the head of the Detroit WomenÕs Hospital.
Dr. Koch was an amazing doctor and wrote a series of books that are mentioned at the end of this article. His case histories of cancer cures are unique in my experience.
He knew that most cancer is trophoblast. Some fungal, parasitic organisms and even viruses play a role as well. Protocel appears to address most of these causes.
To obtain Protocel, the phone number is (888) 581-4442 or it can be bought over the internet at www.webnd.com. The references at the end of this article and the Links page offer much more information about Protocel and about Dr. Koch and the trophoblast theory.
THE KELLEY METABOLIC CANCER
THERAPY
William Kelley, DDS, was diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer in the late 1960s. His doctors gave him no hope. Kelley researched the medical literature and stumbled onto the trophoblastic theory of cancer.
He figured he had nothing to lose, so he took massive doses of pancreatic enzymes of porcine (pig) origin. This is the main remedy recommended to kill trophoblast.
Kelley completely recovered in a few years and began to share his discovery. He continued to research and evolved a complete cancer protocol. He refined it for 35 years until his death from natural causes at age 88.
He wrote a small book entitled One Answer To Cancer as a guide for patients. He was an excellent doctor and trained many to continue his work.
The Kelley metabolic cancer therapy
is our favorite overall program to recover from cancer. It involves coffee enemas daily, several
sauna sessions daily, pancreatic enzymes that are a Ònatural chemotherapy agentÓ
and little else besides a healthful diet and a few supplements. Rest and sleep should be an important
part of any cancer recovery program, as well.
To make contact for the Kelley metabolic cancer therapy call Pamela McDougle at (208) 424-7600. She is the official representative. This is important because many doctors offer versions of this therapy. However, many change the therapy and this can be devastating. Cancer is not a disease to play with and experiment with!!!
Note: The AMA and other powerful groups do not like the competition from natural cancer therapies. Doctors who offer it are often harassed by federal agents and some lose their licenses for helping people recover from a terminal disease. Also note that we do not work with cancer patients. First take care of the cancer with the natural or any method.
Then do nutritional balancing program. This is not so much out of fear of harassment. I have worked with cancer patients in the past. The reason is that the two therapies above are best for stopping the cancer. Then we can take our time with other healing processes using hair analysis and nutritional balancing science. This is best, we find.
Many prominent politicians and others know about these therapies. Ronald Reagan and Betty Ford are just two among many who went abroad for alternative cancer therapies and succeeded.
SUCCESS RATES
Protocel showed an 80% success rate in one set of animal experiments. In human trials, it has not been evaluated carefully.
The Kelley program cannot be done on animals. It takes far more work than Protocel, but is an excellent program. Let us discuss some important considerations about these alternatives, including reasons for failure and how to avoid these pitfalls.
REASONS FOR FAILURE
I will mention four factors that are common reasons for problems in alternative cancer regimens. These are stress, starting too late, the nature of cancer and the inability to follow the program exactly.
1. Stress. This might be financial, social, family or other types of stress conditions. All deplete the body at a time when it requires building up.
2. Starting too late. There can be no foolproof ÒcureÓ for cancer. Anyone who offers you one is lying. Here is why:
a) Cancer is a degenerative disease. This means it is caused by low vitality or energy. If low enough, one will not recover even if tumors are somehow removed.
Permanent healing always takes time, patience and a willing participant. This is not always possible.
A joke, in my view is the medical definition of a Òcancer cureÓ. It is defined as five years with no recurrence of symptoms. Many times, the cancer comes back in 6 years, or 10 years, but statistically it is counted as a successful cure anyway.
b) Cancer is a progressive disease. This means that in addition to vitality, one must have time to turn around a train that is movng in the wrong direction. This, too, is not always possible.
However, one should never assume it is too late to begin a natural cancer regimen. I am aware of cases diagnosed as terminal, with cancer all over the body, that fully recovered using these methods. The F.A.C.T. DVD and the book by Tanya Pierce in the references give examples of amazing recoveries of this type.
3. The nature of tumors. Removing dead cancer tissue is somewhat problematic. The body is simply not set up to digest large amounts of it.
Protocel and the Kelley program handle this problem well. This is a major reason I recommend both of them. Protocel is excellent in this regard, which is why it can work even without a detoxification regimen. The Kelley approach, however, requires more detoxification.
This is also why surgery may be helpful in a few cases. It can rid the body of large tumors quickly. Of course, I would tend to combine the surgery with an alternative program, since often hidden tumors and other problems remain.
Other traditional cancer methods are far less recommended in almost all cases. Authorities on the alternatives tell us that chemotherapy, and especially radiation, severely weaken the body and make cures less possible.
4. Failure to follow the program diligently. This may be the most common reason for failure. Here are some reasons this can happen:
a) Inability to do the program. This may be due to financial issues, mental confusion or even a lack of strength to carry out the instructions perfectly.
b) Altering the program. This is all too common. Doctors or patients may omit parts of the program such as coffee enemas. Others try combining programs, often with disastrous results.
As a rule, avoid changing or omitting anything that is required, even if you donÕt understand it. These programs are the product of literally years of research and you are not likely to improve them.
Holistic physicians, often with little real experience with cancer, are among the worst offenders here. They may attend a seminar or workshop and suddenly feel they can do better than the masters.
Adding extra products also often wrecks a program, and the reasons can be subtle. Be very careful about this.
c) Lack of adequate supervision. This is also common. Always consult someone who is 1) well-trained in your therapy, 2) has at least 10 years experience with cancer and 3) has a medical background if possible.
Doctors who help people with cancer must be available for phone calls, at least, and should supervise patients carefully. Remember, cancer is not a simple illness ever.
In fact, cancer is more like a climb up a steep slope where you cannot see the goal clearly at first. There are wrong turns and hazards to avoid, so use care in whom you choose as your guide and keep in close communication when necessary.
d) Lack of commitment. The Kelley program, in particular, but any natural approach, takes commitment. It will usually not be easy sailing at all times.
e) Quitting too soon. This is another common problem. One must stay with the natural therapy a year, usually, after obvious tumors have shrunk or one feels much better.
Otherwise, relapses can occur since cancer is a degenerative condition. Plan on staying on your therapy for several years, at least. The diet and lifestyle should be lifelong choices.
f) Lack of support systems. This, too, occurs often with alternative cancer approaches, more than with any other illness I am aware of.
Some people feel they must have the support of their families, the media and the medical world. Otherwise they feel uncomfortable with their cancer regimen.
Alternative methods do not offer this as much today. So for best success, one must be far more independent of the attitudes of others, even though they are uninformed most all the time.
g) Lack of faith in the program. If you believe strongly in someone or something, you will tend to relax, follow orders better and have a better attitude. If you think you are wasting your time and money, no approach will tend to be as effective.
For this reason, watch out with whom you speak or share your plight and your plans. Thoughtless or stray words from doctors and others can have a great influence on one who is ill. Seek help from a counselor or pastor who understands you and your program if you feel you need it, as many do.
h) Reduced will to live. Cancer often causes a person to question the will to live. In fact, it is one of cancerÕs blessings. It forces a person to examine why he or she wants to be well at all.
This is a challenge for those who
have not examined their lives carefully, or who have lived less than wholesome
lives.
WHAT IF YOU ARE NOT SUCCEEDING?
If the program you have chosen is not causing any changes within a few weeks, even subtle ones described below, it is probably not going to work. Fortunately, with the therapies in this article, this rarely happens.
Early changes may be subtle and even have little to do with your tumor or cancer. They may be emotional improvements, for example.
For example, you may have more energy, feel happier or have less pain, even if the tumor has not changed. In fact, do not expect your tumor or even your general health to change quickly in many cases.
Only with the therapies mentioned in this article and perhaps a few others, tumors often temporarily grow larger for a while. Other tests such as x-rays and blood tests may also look worse. This can be part of the process of tumor necrosis or destruction of the cancer. So, be sure to work with someone who understands this.
Therefore, do not just pay attention to x-rays or other tests, which often cannot detect subtle changes inside tumors. However, if there are no changes at all, even subtle ones, donÕt waste time on something that is not getting you well. Stop what you are doing and change to a different approach.
HOW TO ENHANCE THESE PROGRAMS
Here are a few keys to success that may not be emphasized enough by some books or practitioners.
1. Rest a lot more. This is primary. Rest will help any healing process. Go to bed by 8:30 PM each night, nap each afternoon and try to get 9 to 12 hours of sleep daily between these two. The early hours of the evening are the best times for rest.
2. Drink three to four quarts of steam distilled or quality spring water each day. Of these, distilled water is the finest for detoxification, bar none.
The next best are carbon filtered water or reverse osmosis water. The worst is often tap water or carbon filtered without changing the filter recently.
I am aware of many water machines, designer waters and other units that some recommend instead. I am not convinced they are half as good as advertised and I still prefer steam distilled water for at least a year for those with cancer.
3. Do more coffee enemas and saunas. These will not, in our experience, interfere at all with Protocel and they are an important part of the Kelley program.
However, the use of a near infrared light sauna was added very late in Dr. KelleyÕs life, so many practitioners do not know about its benefits.
Stay away from newer far infrared saunas with large carbon heaters. I believe they are emitting frequencies that may be harmful.
Older far infrared saunas are somewhat better. The best idea is to convert far infrared saunas to the near infrared lamp type by adding a few simple heat lamps where possible.
More information about saunas is found on my website, drlwilson.com.
4. Stay positive. The cancer cells themselves actually secrete substances that may contribute to depression or discouragement.
Purification reactions that are, in fact, beneficial can also cause fear. At times, these can unnerve even the most stable and dedicated person.
However, research by the Simingtons and other doctors indicates that staying positive is critical for the best success. Here are several ways to do this:
a) Read all you can about your program. It can help you to have faith and understanding of what you are doing and why.
b) Do your best to concentrate on the positive and ignore the negative feelings. This may seem impossible but is a skill that can be learned. It involves letting go of the negative because you realize it is just Òold tapesÓ playing over and over in your head. After a while, they begin to just fade away.
c) Use whatever works to stay positive. This might include uplifting books, CDs or movies or talking with positive friends. It may also be taking walks in the woods or a park, meditating or any other helpful and healthful activity.
The article on my website entitled Reflections On The Twenty-Third Psalm can also be helpful. This particular affirmation was and is very inspiring for thousands throughout the ages.
d) Think spiritually. This means to know you are more than your physical body that is ill. This is what I mean by Òthink spirituallyÓ. It allows us to have a greater love for the self and for the world as well.
Some ways to act spiritually are to go to church or other groups, or to read and study about it. Many avenues are all around you.
5. Meditate in a special way. I strongly advise all cancer patients to use a specific meditation-observation exercise. I learned it from a man named Roy Masters, who offers it on a compact disc or tape at www.fhu.com or by calling 1-800-877-3227. I also offer a similar exercise on a CD for $9.00 plus shipping.
The exercise takes some time and patience to practice daily. However, it is excellent and very grounding, an important factor for those with cancer.
I credit my own health recovery in large measure to doing this exercise daily, which I still do. To learn more, see the article on my website entitled Meditation and also one entitled Letting Go.
6. Be realistic and grounded. Always keep in touch with your practitioner. Cancer is not a do-it-yourself proposition at all. Not all reactions mean you are healing, by any means.
For several years I followed a natural hygiene regimen of mostly vegetarian raw food. I developed rashes and other symptoms that I believed were indicators of healing and others agreed.
In fact, I was becoming more ill. It cost me dearly in terms of my health and may have contributed to cancer later. A girl I was dating finally convinced me to quit the regimen. I had surrounded myself with others who thought like me, but the method simply didnÕt work, in spite of my best efforts to follow the regimen faithfully.
This is why I only recommend working with someone who has an excellent reputation with cancer patients, not a general type of practitioner. Healing cancer with any approach is challenging, even for a seasoned practitioner.
For this reason, I do not work with cancer. It is just not my specialty and I admire those who have made it theirs.
Unrealistic thinking and approaches will get you killed with cancer. I know that may sound like the AMA speaking, but please be warned. Be open-minded but never rigid, if possible.
Finally, remember that miracles occur with any method. This is always true, regardless of your method or approach. However, they are not common. So use your common sense at all times when dealing with cancer.
ENERGY MEDICINE AND CANCER
Machines that stimulate acupuncture meridians or otherwise improve the bodyÕs energy may or may not be helpful for cancer patients. I mention them because at times they are useful. However, I would never depend only on a Rife machines or other device and would always use physical methods such as Protocel or the Kelley program as well.
I cannot recommend specific machines because there are so many and I am not qualified to speak about them from experience. Just be careful of claims, as those who sell these devices easily and commonly may exaggerate their claims, in my experience. It is safer to be skeptical, which does not mean to avoid them, either.
In addition to this introductory article, go back to the Articles page on this website, as there are several other articles about cancer that cover related topics in much more depth.
