CANCER AND OXIDATION OR METABOLIC TYPES

Metabolic typing can be helpful to prolong the life of cancer patients. This is because their needs are somewhat different. By typing people and giving them more of the nutrients and foods they require, success should be better.

Metabolic typing was used by William Kelley, DDS in his early cancer program. It was eventually dropped for several reasons, the most likely of which is the cost of all the supplements and the added complexity the 10 types added to the regimen.

However, I use a very simple system that I believe would enhance the results of any cancer protocol.

The very simple system is called fast and slow oxidizers. These correspond to yang and yin types in Chinese medicine, and to other similar distinctions as well. To read more basic information about these two types, read Fast and Slow Oxidation on this website.

Fast oxidizers with cancer. Those we call fast oxidizers do very well on Protocel for several reasons. For starters, their energy levels are somewhat higher. As a result, they have more strength to work with in fighting their cancer battles.

Secondly, they have more energy to dissolve the tumor, which is often a reason for failure with natural cancer therapies and even with conventional therapies.

Third, their metabolism is in better overall shape, giving them a slight edge in fighting their cancer. Fast oxidizers also have somewhat more totipotent or stem cells, which can become cancerous, but which Protocel helps destroy.

Fast oxidizers also tend to be in an earlier stage of stress and thus they recover faster. The concept of the stages of stress is attributed to Hans Selye, MD. A Canadian physician, he found that all organisms go through three separate stages of stress, as he called them, before they finally die. He called these the alarm, resistance and exhaustion stages. Fast oxidizers tend to be in the alarm or resistance stage of stress. Slow oxidizers are in the later and lower energy exhaustion stage of stress, in general.

Fast oxidizers tend to get the more “aggressive” cancers. Their bodies, when they go awry, tend to do so in a more robust and energetic fashion, if that word can be used to describe a cancer. However, it is quite accurate. However, according to the Protocel literature, these are precisely the cancers that the product is most effective with. This is not surprising for the reasons above.

Slow Oxidizers. Those we call slow oxidizers, on the other hand, also can do fairly well on Protocel for different reasons. The first is they do not have as much resistance to the product. This is a subtle area of research, but is an important reason, as we will see.

Slow oxidizers have a more sluggish metabolism, and this works against them. However, those with a slower metabolic rate are also more relaxed, and this is what I mean by less resistance to the product.

Also, Protocel contains quinines and quinolones, which act somewhat as metabolic stimulants that are most helpful for slow oxidizers. These are somewhat like coenzyme Q-10, for which reason this supplement is not recommended for use at the same time as Protocel. Coenzyme Q-10 helps energy production at the mitochondrial level.

Slow oxidizers tend to get the slower growing cancers, in general, and this is in part because their entire system is less energized. They are in the exhaustion stage of stress, which is harder to recover from.

Thus, the idea of various cancers being more aggressive or fast growing is not a function of only the type of cancer, since there really is only one kind of cancer cell in the body, the trophoblast. It is also a function of the body’s level of energy and its response to the cancer.

SODIUM AND POTASSIUM

Potassium And Cancer. Max Gerson, MD made potassium famous for cancer therapy. Protocel contains a small amount of potassium salt. It is also very necessary for slow oxidizers. They usually get it in vegetables, however, rather than juices that Dr. Gerson insisted upon. He also cut out all sodium from the diet. This also drives more potassium into the body cells and is important.

Salt and cancer. Table salt, in particular, is very bad for cancer patients. It is the lack of other minerals that is the primary problem. However, even good sea salt should be eaten in moderation due to its high sodium content. Celery, in particular, is another vegetable that should be omitted from the diet, perhaps, or eaten in small quantity only due to its high sodium content.

Salt, by the way, is extremely alkalizing, as many people know. Therefore, it is the refined table salt, not sea salt, that is extremely harmful. The refined product is much less alkalinizing because it lacks critical trace minerals.

Vegetables excellent, cooked a little. This is why eating many vegetables and a few fruits daily as part of your Protocel or Kelley therapy program regimen is such an important addition to any cancer protocol. This cannot be overestimated.

Vitamin C a problem with Protocel. However, do not eat too much raw fruit, especially. This is because it is 1) very yin in Chinese medicine and 2) high in vitamin C, especially citrus, kiwi and other tropical fruits. This is not helpful with Protocel, in particular.

It is better to cook vegetables in a steamer, perhaps, or stir-fry vegetables to reduce the vitamin C content if you are on Protocel. This does not apply to the Kelley program, though too much raw is not good on either of these, in our experience, as one cannot absorb as many nutrients with raw food.

We are very familiar with the Gerson therapy and with Weston Price methods, using a lot of raw foods. However, for long-term recovery, we find that cooked food, for the most part, is excellent. The exception is raw cream, butter, yogurt, cheese and other dairy and fats and oils. Also, proteins should not overcooked, just seared or baked or broiled to kill bacteria in the meat and eggs.

Metabolic Types And pH Balance. Another aspect of metabolic typing that is important is the pH of the different types. Fast oxidizers tend to be acidic, but it is less deep than in the slow oxidizers.

Slow oxidizers may appear alkaline on urine and saliva tests, but this is due to calcium buildup in the soft tissues, which turns the urine or saliva alkaline.

For these reasons, I do not recommend this type of pH testing, as it is quite inaccurate in some cases and has led to disastrous consequences by just following your urine or saliva pH.

Suffice it to say that both metabolic types turn acidic as degeneration sets in. This is, in large part, due to depletion of the alkaline mineral reserves in the body. These must be replaced, and there is no simple way to do this.

Alkaline water will not do it, and nor will a simple alkalinizing mineral or other food supplement or even drug. However, people do get results using cesium, combined with a very alkaline-forming diet. This type of therapy, however, is much less helpful because it is far more toxic for some people. I don’t recommend this therapy nearly as much as Protocel for this reason.

Distilled Water And Cancer. I believe the concept of alkalinizing the body with a diet rich in alkaline minerals, a few supplements and distilled water is absolutely valid. However, it is a slow process. This is why Protocel, the Kelley enzymes or some other method to hasten the process are so helpful for cancer patients.

Distilled water can quickly remove toxic metals and toxic chemicals that play an important part in acidifying the body. Over time, the natural pH will rise in the cells and health comes back from many types of illnesses simply with this concept alone. This is particularly excellent for anyone with cancer and excellent to do along with Protocel, which does not alkalinize the body.

Oxidation Type And The Cancer Personalities. Fast oxidizers tend to be more feisty and positive. Slow oxidizers are, as a general rule, more sedate and often feel depressed and tired most of the time.

Some of this has to do with a lower energy level in slow oxidizers. Some has to do with their personalities as well. If a person is positive enough, he or she will likely stay in fast oxidation for years. If a person becomes more negative, he or she will tend to go into slow oxidation much sooner, and is much more likely to contract cancer as well. So once again, personality and emotions play a huge role in recovery for this reason.
