I wanted to mention here that I just read the other day about tangerines containing a unique anti-cancerous substance (sorry, can't recall it'sname right now) that is found nowhere else.  You might want to look into that.  The same book also mentioned grapeseed extract being good with cancer too.  Just a little tidbit of info for what it's worth...

[Larry]

 Just read in

http://www.nogreaterjoy.org/letters/questions-answered/archive/2007/december/24/emotionally-disturbed/

where Debi Pearl says that PH plays a part in curing disease. Do any of you all know her and/or know what she recommends for adjusting the body PH?

I appreciat all suggestions and I will look into each, as I have time. Right now I seem to fall asleep whenever I set still....I got to start getting more sleep.

[littlemama24]

I happen to be reading on my kombucha bottle right now that it supports body alkalinity.  That could be worth looking into...

Larry have you checked out WellTellMe.com yet? It is kind of like the sister site to this one and it is all about natural healing and wellness. You might be able to find out about how to adjust PH over there? 

Edit: Oops! Just saw that Healthyinohio already put up some links to WellTellMe so you already know about it.

First of all, I'm so sorry for what you are going through right now.  

There are two things that came to mind that I haven't seen on this thread that I thought I'd offer.

1)  Coral calcium has been reported to rectify acidic bodies quite quickly which can have a curing effect on cancer.  I believe it is Bob Barefoot's brand of coral calcium that is supposed to have the highest quality.
www.barefootscureamerica.com/coral-calcium.htm

2)  Dr. Lorraine Day has shares her testimony of her choice to refuse chemo and seek natural healing methods for her large tumor and how she was healed.  You can find her info at http://www.drday.com/

3)  "The Master cleanse" is another thought.  Stanley burroughs wrote a booklet  (which we actually just bought at a local health food store quite inexpensively), and details a cleanse using lemons, water and cayenne that could prove helpful.

Update

Michelle has just finished another course of chemo and she is doing wonderful! The ginger and peppermint tee has for the most part replaced three very strong anti nausea pills.

I am trying to get the hang of making Kefier because the quarks (sp?) can be used as a replacement for cottage cheese, in the Budwig diet, and there is a pro biotic benefit as well.

The Budwig diet uses flax seed oil mixed with cottage cheese (see http://www.cancure.org/budwig_diet.htm for specifics) and we have been doing that also. Saturday I had spent several hours at the business end of a pitch fork and buy the end of the day, I was feeling it. I had mixed some flax seed oil and cottage cheese with some banana and a lemon (trying to find a mixture Michelle liked) long story short, I ended up drinking the concoction and the soreness and burning went away almost immediately.

I have been to the welltellme web page but I haven't had time to post anything yet...very informative sight.

Thank you, Larry

An interesting article about a Chinese herb called huang qin:

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/1/19/herb-triggers-cancer-cell-death.aspx

A substance found in the popular Chinese herb huang qin triggers the death of tumor cells, while having virtually no effect on healthy cells.

Many researchers have looked to the capability of controlled cell suicide as a means of fighting cancer. But it is a risky approach, because it involves the danger of damaging healthy tissue, too. Scientists have been searching for substances that induce cell death selectively in tumor cells.

Now scientists of the German Cancer Research Centre have discovered that wogonin, a component of huang qin, causes apoptosis (cellular suicide) in cultured leukemia cells without affecting healthy blood cells. Wogonin has already been shown to reduce cancer growth in mice.

Dr. Min Li-Weber of the Division of Immunogenetics has found that wogonin works by radically increasing the formation of hydrogen peroxide in tumor cells compared to healthy cells. The peroxide, in turn, produces a calcium response, which triggers the apoptosis reaction.

 Dr. Mercola's Comments: 
For those of you who are new to the newsletter, I’d like to reiterate that while I view herbs as frequently helpful and virtually non-toxic when compared to patent drugs, they rarely treat the cause of your disease. I view most of them as frequently effective symptomatic band-aids.  Therefore, if you depend solely on herbs without addressing the underlying cause of your disease, you’re still likely avoiding the real cure.

So what are the underlying causes of most, if not all disease? I strongly believe it boils down to three basics of equal importance:

Your emotional and mental state
Your nutrition
Your physical activity
All advice essentially falls under one of these three basic necessities for optimal health, which create a circle of either positive or negative ramifications, depending on whether you address them appropriately or not.

Awesome Cancer-Busting Approaches

Without disputing the value and effectiveness of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as an alternative to the flawed healthcare system in the United States, I believe you can VIRTUALLY ELIMINATE your risk of cancer and chronic disease, and radically improve your chances of recovering from cancer if you currently have it, by following these relatively simple risk reduction strategies.

You won’t read or hear much about them because they have not been formally "proven" yet by conservative researchers. However, did you know that 85 percent of therapies currently recommended by conventional medicine have never been formally proven either?!

Here are my Twelve Strategies:

Reduce or eliminate your processed food, sugar and grain carbohydrate intake.  Yes, this is even true for whole unprocessed organic grains as they tend to rapidly break down and drive your insulin and leptin levels up, which is the last thing you need to have happening if you are seeking to resolve a cancer.


Control your fasting insulin and leptin levels. This is the end result, and can be easily monitored with the use of simple and relatively inexpensive blood tests.


Normalize your ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fats by taking a high-quality krill oil or fish oil and reducing your intake of most processed vegetable oils.
 
Get regular exercise. One of the primary reasons exercise works is that it drives your insulin levels down. Controlling insulin levels is one of the most powerful ways to reduce your cancer risks.


Normalize your vitamin D levels and vitamin A levels by getting plenty of sunlight exposure and consider careful supplementation when this is not possible. If you take oral vitamin D and have a cancer, it would be very prudent to monitor your vitamin D blood levels regularly.


Get regular, good sleep.
 
Eat according to your nutritional type. The potent anti-cancer effects of this principle are very much underappreciated. When we treat cancer patients in our clinic this is one of the most powerful anti-cancer strategies we have.
 
Reduce your exposure to environmental toxins like pesticides, household chemical cleaners, synthetic air fresheners and air pollution.
Limit your exposure and provide protection for yourself from information carrying radio waves produced by cell phone towers, base stations, phones and WiFi stations.
 
Avoid frying or charbroiling your food.  Boil, poach or steam your foods instead.
 
Have a tool to permanently reprogram the neurological short-circuiting that can activate cancer genes. Even the CDC states that 85 percent of disease is caused by emotions. It is likely that this factor may be more important than all the other physical ones listed here, so make sure this is addressed. Energy psychology seems to be one of the best approaches and my particular favorite tool, as you may know, is the Emotional Freedom Technique. German New Medicine is another powerful tool.
 
Eat at least one-third of your food raw.

Michelle just finished another round of chemo. Only four more to go! She is holding up good and while I have seen her sick and tired, I have not seen her down.

We have a tentative surgery date, June 9th and we will have to go on April 25th for an exam.

God bless, Larry

INFORMATION FOR PATIENTS AND FAMILY MEMBERS
Description of Treatment
A major difficulty in treating patients with cancer that has spread widely on lining surfaces in the stomach cavity (abdomen, peritoneal cavity) is that it is often not possible to remove all the cancer cells.  As a result, the cancer often persists despite surgical and other treatments.  We are planning to perform a procedure called Intra-Peritoneal Hyperthermic (heated) Chemotherapy or IPHC.  By using standard surgical methods, we hope to remove all or nearly all visible tumor in the abdomen.  In an effort to treat any remaining tumor cells, we will then perform IPHC.  The term "intraperitoneal" means that the treatment is delivered to the abdominal cavity.  The term "hyperthermic chemotherapy" means that heated fluid (hyperthermic refers to temperatures greater than normal body temperature) is circulated (perfused) throughout the stomach cavity (abdomen).  The heated fluid will contain an anti-cancer drug (chemotherapy drug).  This drug, Mitomycin-C, has been shown to be more effective at killing tumor cells remaining in the abdominal cavity after surgery.  This approach has been studied at WFUBMC since 1993.  Occasionally we use other drugs to the perfusion fluid.

We have treated over 400 patients with this approach.  Currently, it is being offered as standard treatment on the basis of results from earlier clinical trials.  The goal of the surgery is to remove as much tumor as possible.  It is also our goal to preserve as much normal tissue as possible and preserve organ function: these aims are sometimes in conflict.  Therefore, our overall goal and strategy is to maximize quality of life in the short and long-term.  We have learned that by paying attention to quality of life issues that you will live better and longer.

Plan of Treatment
Preparation for this procedure is the same as for any major abdominal surgery.  The day before surgery you will need to have your bowels cleaned out.  You will be asked to take only clear liquids to eat and drink fluids for bowel cleansing.  You will be asked not to take anything by mouth after midnight (except medications that your doctors may have prescribed for you).  Anesthesia and other consultants will see you in the afternoon or evening.  If you have had any problems with anesthesia before, please let them know.  Overnight you will receive intravenous fluids.

After you are brought to the Operating Room, your family members will be directed to the Surgical Waiting Area so that they can be kept informed of your progress.  In the Operating Room, your care will be the joint responsibility of the anesthesia doctors and your surgeons.  Various I.V. "lines", catheters and monitoring devices (such as EKG leads) will be placed to provide continuous information about your condition during the surgery.  All patients are given antibiotics through the IV line to minimize the risk of infection.  At the start of the operation, your surgeon will explore your abdomen to confirm the diagnosis and to see whether the proposed treatment will be possible.  We will not know for sure whether you are a good candidate for this treatment until the time of the surgery.  If at any time your doctors feel that it is unsafe or unwise to proceed, then the operation will be stopped.  During surgery, care will be taken to minimize the amount of blood lost.  However, it may be necessary to give you blood transfusions during and after the surgery.

During tumor removal, you body temperatures will be allowed to fall ~5 degrees Fahrenheit below normal (about 2 to 5 degrees Celsius below normal).  This will prevent the rest of your body from becoming too hot during IPHC treatment.  Tubes to permit the circulation of the fluid and temperature probes to monitor the temperature of the fluid will be placed in your abdomen.  Heated fluid will be circulated through your abdominal cavity.  The temperature and rate of perfusion will be carefully controlled by a pump perfusionist using equipment similar to that used for open heart surgery.  The anti-cancer drug Mitomycin-C (and potentially other chemo drugs) will be added to the heated fluid.  The solution will be circulated in a circuit between the abdomen and the perfusion pump for (typically) two hours.  During perfusion, blood samples and perfusion fluid samples may be taken to monitor drug levels.  After the IPHC perfusion ends, the tubes and probes will be removed.  Drains may be placed in your abdomen.  Tubes will be placed into your stomach to drain the stomach contents and your urine after surgery.  A soft feeding tube also may be passed via your nose into your bowel.  Most patients will go to the Intensive Care Unit  (ICU) after the surgery to monitor recovery.  The length of stay in the ICU will depend on your condition after surgery but is usually 1 to 3 days.  The average hospital stay is about 7 to 10 days but depends on the extent of surgery and whether or not complications arise.

Additional information not applying to all cases:

• You may be seen by the Urology doctors before surgery.  If so, they have been asked by us to help with the surgical procedure.  They will evaluate you and plan to look in your bladder (cystoscopy) and pass catheters (stents) up the ureters (tubes connecting the kidneys and the bladder) to make surgery easier for us and safer for you.  They can also help us in the event of problems or when surgery on the bladder, ureters, or kidneys are necessary.
• In some cases, we anticipate the removal of the spleen may be required.  The spleen filters particles out of the blood, including some bacteria.  Spleen removal is usually well tolerated without major long-term problems.  However, an added risk for certain types of blood-borne infections exists.  For this reason we may recommend specific vaccinations for you.
• In some cases a colostomy (bag) or ileostomy will be required.  WE ALWAYS TRY TO AVOID A COLOSTOMY, but if necessary we may have to make one.  Whenever possible a “reversible” colostomy will be made, but for some patients the colostomy is permanent.  If needed, teaching (by specialty nurses called enterostomal therapists) and home health support are routinely made available if a colostomy is needed.
  
• For younger women, removal of the tumor may lead to permanent sterility.  We seek to avoid removal of the uterus, ovaries and tubes, but these are common sites for tumor spread.  Please feel free to discuss the impact of IPHC on fertility if it is of concern to you.
• In some cases tumor will be found to involve the umbilicus (belly button).  If this is found, we may have to remove it.  Although reconstruction is potentially possible, this should be viewed as a permanent situation.
• The same information given above applies to those treated for the rare conditions of peritoneal mesothelioma, and clinical condition known as "pseudomyxoma peritonei," ovarian tumor recurrences, and other tumors spread or recurring on the lining surface of the abdomen or pelvis.

Potential Risks
The major risk associated with this treatment will be those normally associated with the surgery and the anesthesia.  These risks include (but are not limited to) death, bleeding, infection, lung problems such as pneumonia, heart problems, blood clots, wound problems, and kidney problems.  It is difficult to estimate the risk for individual cases since it depends on many factors including age, extent of surgery, amount of blood lost, underlying medical problems, length of illness before coming to surgery, etc.  The risk of a serious complication is difficult to estimate but could be as high as 40% (two chances in five).  The risk of dying because of these or other problems is difficult to estimate but is about 5% (1 chance in 20).  As much as we can anticipate and prevent any problems, this will be done.  Also please understand that different people have different risks and we will try to point out where these risks may be higher or lower for you.

It is difficult to separate the risks of intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy (IPHC) from that of the surgery alone.  Standard treatments will be used for any problems arising during surgery.  The use of the standard anti-cancer drug Mitomycin-C increases the likelihood for some problems occurring after the surgery.  The drugs used to kill cancer cells can also kill some normal body cells, especially those that grow rapidly (blood cells, hair, cells that line the mouth, stomach and intestines, cells in healing wounds).  Blood cells are made in the bone marrow and are responsible for fighting infections (white blood cells), carrying oxygen (red blood cells), and causing blood to clot (platelets).  A reduction in the number of these blood cells (marrow suppression) can lead to an increased risk of bleeding and infection.  When these effects occur, they can be treated with blood transfusions, white cell growth factors, and antibiotics.  Adverse effects on the healing of wounds could increase the chance of leakage from the bowel after the surgery or of problems such as hernias in the incision. 

The drug could also result in other side effects including nausea or vomiting, although this can occur normally after major surgery.  The possibility of major permanent damage from IPHC to the heart, liver or kidneys is unlikely in our experience.  Lung problems can be seen commonly.  Most lung problems are temporary and reversible such as partial collapse (atelectasis) or increased fluid around the lungs (pleural effusion) and may be seen after major surgery alone.  However, the use of Mitomycin-C has been infrequently associated with breathing problems that may need to be treated temporarily with the use of a ventilator (breathing machine).  The possibility of hair loss is low.  The likelihood of serious long-term problems from the chemotherapy drug is low because only one dose is used for this treatment.  The most serious problems arise when severe problems from the chemotherapy are seen early after the surgery, and overlap with serious problems seen after surgery.  This severe "overlapping complication" has occurred in about 5% of cases in the past (1 chance in 20) but current management methods appear to have reduced this risk.  Certain patients have a higher risk for problems and we try to identify those people and share our specific concerns.  Reduction of the drug dose can reduce the risks of complications but may also reduce the long-term effectiveness.

Potential Benefits
We can not guarantee that this treatment will be successful in your case.  Our experience and research with IPHC, and reports in the medical literature, have shown that IPHC when combined with tumor surgery is often beneficial, frequently improves quality of life, and is not associated with undue risk.  We hope that this treatment will help you to live longer and more comfortably than would otherwise be possible with conventional treatments.  We have found that malignant ascites (abnormal accumulation of fluid secondary to the spread of cancer on the abdominal lining surfaces) is eradicated or prevented in the majority of cases.  For some patients, long term disease-free survival is a realistic goal.  Where the information is available, we will try to give you a realistic estimate for you depending on clinical factors such as your age, physical condition, and tumor type and tumor extent.  Please bear in mind that an accurate prognosis may not be possible until after treatment.

Costs to the Patient
Standard hospital, clinic and professional charges will be made for all consultations, procedures, and equipment or drugs.  The use of IPHC can add up to three (3) hours to the operative time following tumor removal.  This will increase the cost associated with the surgery.  Additional costs will include the cost of the Mitomycin-C, tubing and supplies for the perfusion, services of the pump perfusion team that may not be covered in some instances.  Standard charges will be levied.  Neither the drugs nor equipment are investigational.  Intraperitoneal chemotherapy is not considered investigational.  Hyperthermia (heating) is achieved by heating up the chemotherapy solution and does in itself result in additional equipment charges or additional time.  You are urged to discuss these cost issues with financial counseling and with us.  In a changing medical environment, these issues can be difficult for all of us.

After IPHC
We like to follow all our patients after IPHC.  Our usual method is to see you back about 1 to 4 weeks following surgery for examination.  Thereafter, we commonly see patients back at 3-6 month intervals for the first 5 years and this usually coincides with repeat scans and blood work.  Many of our patients come from out of state (or country).  For this reason, we are flexible in making follow-up arrangements.  It is very important for us that you have a doctor locally that you like and trust, and that we can send information to and work with.  The possibility of problems and the need for additional treatments could occur.  It is neither necessary nor desirable for you to make the "trek" here for all problems or all follow up examinations or scans.  Some patients will also need chemotherapy given by vein even after the IPHC.  We have a good working relationship with numerous medical oncology groups (chemo doctors) and will be happy to coordinate with IV chemo if need be.

And…
Please review this information carefully.  You are urged to ask questions, as are family members.  Your family and friends are part of the team looking after you.  In general, private rooms are requested for patients coming out of the ICU (Intensive Care Unit).  This is to allow for family members and friends that you want involved in your care to have easier access to you and help with your recovery.  There may be an additional fee for a private room.  If you are interested in a private room, please let us know.  We also have other patients that have undergone this treatment that have offered to share their experiences with you.  If this is of interest to you, please let us know so that appropriate contacts can be made: you are not alone!  After treatment, if you want to share your experiences with others, please let us know.[/size]

We are praying as well; for your health, faith, and joy. Also for your children that they will witness your faith and be established through it, and that their fears be comforted. For your wife I pray that she will find deep rest in sleep, and peace in her spirit during this time of testing. It comforts me to know that the God who has been my Healer is also yours!

We also second the alkalinity -oxygen levels methods. Doctor Simonichi is a pioneer in that field:

Hi Larry,

I have read through your posts and this thread and have not seen anyone mention one site that I have seen recently.  It's called www.herbdoc.com.  Dr. Richard Schultz has written a book called There Are No Incurable Diseases, and he has a program called "Incurables."  He is a Master Herbalist and Naturalist that has been in practice at his Botanical Pharmacy (CA) for over 30 years.

I don't know if this will be helpful to you or not, but I thought I would pass it along anyway.

I hope Michelle is doing well today, and I will be praying for you both.

[Larry]

Thanks, We will be going whole hog with herbs etc. after the surgery.  Right now we are staying away from herbs, except ginger tea, because they can/did react with the drugs.

We are going with chemo and surgery because I know many people who were cured with chemo. There are horror stories about chemo and they are true but I know too many who survived to completely discount it.

Another interesting article about cancer:

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/3/6/cancer-and-the-bacterial-connection.aspx

In the 1890’s, New York surgeon William Coley tried a radical cancer treatment -- injecting patients with disease-causing bacteria. After weeks of chills and fevers, many showed significant tumor regression, although Coley himself could not explain why.

Some contemporary scientists think Coley had the right idea. Germs may be able to teach your body how to fight back against tumors. While it has not yet been proven, new studies have revealed that certain cancers may be reduced by exposure to disease-causing bacteria and viruses, which result in a boost for your body's natural immunity.

The studies also imply that our infection-free lifestyles may be contributing to the rise in cancers over the past 50 years. Germs cause disease, but they may also fortify the body.

William Bradley Coley, born January 12, 1862, in the small Connecticut community of Saugatuck, went on to make a name for himself as a Sherlock Holmes of cancer medicine. In the book A Commotion in the Blood, author Stephen Hall describes how the young Dr. Coley became obsessed with finding a cure for bone cancer after helplessly watching a young woman being ravaged by the disease after sustaining a light crushing injury to her hand. She died quickly, riddled with tumors.

On a side note, this young woman, named Elizabeth Dashiell, also happened to be a good friend of legendary John D. Rockefeller. It was her death that spurred Rockefeller to channel his grief into cancer research, which eventually led to the creation of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research (now Rockefeller University), where the work of Dr. Coley was initially supported.

Dr. Coley, who began his three-year medical education at Harvard in 1886, went on to fashion a crude anti-tumor vaccine using live Streptococcus pyogenes bacteria, in 1891. Remarkably, when tabulating and publishing his initial results in 1893, four out of 17 cases of advanced cancer were permanently cured, 10 showed improvement, while three showed no improvement at all.

Since then, medicine has rejected the work of Dr. Coley, with few exceptions. A 2003 article in the Postgraduate Medical Journal 2003;79:672-680 states : 

“Spontaneous tumor regression has followed bacterial, fungal, viral, and protozoal infections… [Coley] observed that inducing a fever  was crucial for tumor regression. Unfortunately, at the present time little credence is given to the febrile response in fighting infections—no less cancer. Rapidly growing tumors contain large numbers of leucocytes. These cells play a part in both defense and repair; however, reparative functions can also support tumor growth. Intratumoural infections may reactivate defensive functions, causing tumor regression. Can it be a coincidence that this method of immunotherapy has been "rediscovered" repeatedly throughout the centuries?”

That’s an interesting question, especially in light of the work of Dr. Geerd Hamer’s German New Medicine (GNM). For the past three decades, Dr. Hamer has studied the causative factors, and the healing pathways of cancer.

Fever – Sign of Disease, or Healing?

The connection between Dr. Coley’s and Dr. Hamer’s work lies in one of the fundamental principles of GNM, which states that your body heals itself through heat, i.e. inflammation, infection, and often fever. Hence – contrary to conventional wisdom -- anytime you’re dealing with a fever or inflammation, your body is in fact in the healing phase, not in the disease phase.

But getting back to the issue of using bacteria as a treatment of cancer, the main issue that strikes me is the fact that this idea stops just short of getting to the root of the problem, which lies in the functioning of your immune system.

A robust immune system is in most cases capable of clearing out any abnormal proliferation of cells (cancer), so that a tumor never actually develops. A weak immune system, however, will not be able to work as efficiently, leaving you open to develop any number of diseases, including cancer.

Granted, cancer treatment options must continue to be explored. But it saddens me that so little conventional cancer information focuses on prevention and the real cure.

Conventional researchers want to be able to use this form of immunotherapy to convert cancer into a chronic but controllable disease. That’s the fundamental difference between conventional medicine and real healing.

Since I’ve already written about Dr. Hamer’s discoveries regarding how cancer can be cured, let me delve into one of the MOST BASIC issues that you MUST take into consideration if you want to avoid cancer, or if you are already dealing with a cancer diagnosis, namely SUGAR.

What’s the Deal With Sugar and Cancer?

I truly believe that your psyche/mind and body are intricately connected, and that you cannot separate the two without dire consequences. However, you can certainly improve the resilience of your body, so that you are better able to handle any negative stresses imposed by your mind. (Likewise, improving your emotional health will aid in dealing with physical stresses.)

Maintaining a strong healthy immune system is a mandatory step in maintaining robust health and creating an environment where your body has everything it needs to heal at its disposal – without injecting bacteria to artificially induce an immune response, which can tax your system and leave you even more vulnerable to further health problems.

Reducing (or preferably eliminating) sugar, and limiting grain carbohydrates from your diet is usually number one on my list of cancer reducing strategies, and for good reason.

Conventional medical science has a tendency to put the cart before the horse, and that certainly seems to be the case here. It puzzles me why the simple concept that "sugar feeds cancer" can be so dramatically overlooked as part of a comprehensive cancer prevention- or cancer treatment plan.

Very few cancer patients undergoing conventional cancer care in America are offered any scientifically guided nutrition therapy beyond being told to "just eat good foods." I believe many cancer patients would have a major improvement in their outcome if they controlled the supply of cancer's preferred fuel, glucose.

How Does Sugar Feed Cancer?

Controlling your blood-glucose levels through diet, exercise and emotional stress relief can be one of the most crucial components to a cancer recovery program.

The 1931 Nobel laureate in medicine, German Otto Warburg, Ph.D., first discovered that cancer cells have a fundamentally different energy metabolism compared to healthy cells.

Malignant tumors tend to use a process where glucose is used as a fuel by the cancer cells, creating lactic acid as a byproduct. The large amount of lactic acid produced by this fermentation of glucose from cancer cells is then transported to your liver. This conversion of glucose to lactic acid generates a lower, more acidic pH in cancerous tissues as well as overall physical fatigue from lactic acid buildup.

This is a very inefficient pathway for energy metabolism, which extracts only about 5 percent of the available energy in your food supply. In simplistic terms, the cancer is "wasting" energy, which leads you to become both tired and undernourished, and as the vicious cycle continues, will lead to body wasting.

This is one of the reasons why about 40 percent of cancer patients die from malnutrition, or cachexia.

Additionally, carbohydrates from glucose and sucrose significantly decreases the capacity of neutrophils to do their job. Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell that help cells to envelop and destroy invaders, such as cancer.

By severely reducing your intake of sugars and carbohydrates in your diet, you help stave off any potential cancer growth, and “starve” any tumors you currently have. It also bolsters your overall immune function, because sugar decreases the function of your immune system almost immediately.

The Different Types of Sugar

Sugar is a generic term used to identify simple carbohydrates, which includes monosaccharides such as fructose, glucose and galactose; and disaccharides such as maltose and sucrose (white table sugar). Think of these sugars as different-shaped bricks in a wall.

When fructose is the primary monosaccharide brick in the wall, the glycemic index registers as healthier, since this simple sugar is slowly absorbed in the gut, then converted to glucose in the liver. This makes for "time-release foods," which offer a more gradual rise and fall in blood-glucose levels.

If glucose is the primary monosaccharide brick in the wall, the glycemic index will be higher and less healthy for the individual. As the brick wall is torn apart in digestion, the glucose is pumped across the intestinal wall directly into the bloodstream, rapidly raising blood-glucose levels.

In other words, there is a "window of efficacy" for glucose in the blood: levels too low make you feel lethargic and can create clinical hypoglycemia; levels too high start creating the rippling effect of health problems such as diabetes, blood vessel deterioration, heart disease and cancer.

Keep in mind that the glycemic index rating of a sugary food may be lower than that of a starchy food. Therefore, I recommend eating less fruit, more vegetables, and little to no refined sugars.

Ever heard of Carey Reams?  He developed the test called, RBTI- Ream's Biological Theory of Ionization as a result of prayer and fasting for seven days in 1931.  He says for that discovery, he's been arrested  more times than the Apostle Paul.  Another quote from his book, "Choose Life or Death" -  " The RBTI test is an accurate means of expressing every degree of biological life in mathematical terms. "  Another: "The RBTI deals with the mathematics and chemistry of gain or loss of ENERGY, which is determined by accurate laboratory analysis on urine and saliva."  

here is an article I found from www.bemadewhole.info:

"Cancer as defined in RBTI terms is interesting.  Here's an interesting statement by Dr. Reams in that regard.  Please notice that Dr Reams is referencing a book approved by The American Board of Research in Medicine.  Such a book would be owned by a Biophysiscist like Dr Reams.  He makes reference that that book was one of his authorities... implying he had others.  Too bad he didn't say the title to that book.  This lecture was in 1977." 
 
"We also have terms like carcinoma.  In the medical dictionary, carcinoma is called cancer.  But also in the medical dictionary there is no word, that I know of, and if there is any doctor in this class that knows of a word that is between a perfect cell and a dead cell, I would like to know what that is.  I have a book here that’s an authority on the subject, approved by the American Board of Research in Medicine, that clearly distinguishes the difference between a cancer cell and a carcinoma cell and a good cell.  This book is my authority.  One of my authorities on the subject of carcinoma.  For instance, a carcinoma cell is a cell that’s somewhere between perfect and dead.  It is something like a new tire.  They may put a brand new tire on your car, but after you drive it five miles, it’s an old tire and will be an old tire until it is worn out and then it will represent a cancer cell.  When there is not another mile on it.  You do what you will, but there is no more miles on it.  That would be a cancer, so to speak.  A carcinoma cell is one somewhere between perfect and dead.  And this carcinoma cell may be one that is just beginning to lose energy."
 
Here's some more that followed the above in the lecture...
 
"So we come to the word illness now, we have to take into consideration a number of chained words that bring the meaning of what we are trying to say a little closer and zero in on it.  Illness begins the day that you lose more energy than you take in, that you burn up or consume more energy than you take in.  There’s two kinds of energy.  There’s the energy you use and there’s your reserve energy.  Any day that you take in less energy than you use, that day is the first day of your illness.  This comes right back to the carcinoma cell.  Again, I will explain to you something about a carcinoma cell.  Every cell in our bodies should be exchanged every six months.  And if they stay in longer than that or there about, the carcinoma cell, I’m speaking about adults now.  Children even change them faster than that.  For instance a baby chick changes every cell in its body every two days.  I mean bone, everything.  Everything every two days.  The chick doesn’t have cancers.  It’s in perfect health.  It’s growing up normal.  It’s a cell that is no longer in use and it is quickly replaced.  You’ve heard it said that every cell in our bodies is changed every seven years.  That proverb was made over 100 years ago.  Maybe a lot more than that.  And when that proverb was made in this country, the average length of life for males was 35 years and females, 39 years.  So, if you take longer to replace the cells than 6 months for adults, it shortens the span of life.  It shortens the span of life." 

"Now this brings us to the term cancer.  There is only one cause of cancer and no more.  Just one.  And that is a mineral deficiency.  Just a mineral deficiency.  And cancer begins because there is not enough minerals to replace the cells that should be exchanged and therefore, they wear out.  When a cell begins to wear out, certain things happen within that cell.  The first thing is a separation or a dividing or not a definite dividing but a space that will appear in the heart of the cell, in the core of the cell, which will become filled with fluid.  I’m speaking about one cell, now, that’s becoming warn out.  First it’s filled with gas.  A gas forms in there that causes this cell to expand.  And in its cell it expands beyond its normal size because it is a carcinoma cell.  It expands a little.  In this expansion then it’s gas and then water will push the gas out and leave.  Then gas will be in the cell.  And it will bring pressure on the next cell and its all because this cell is degenerated to be thrown out.  This is the way nature throws the cell out, or casts it out into the blood stream.  The pressure that is put upon it by the healthy cells around it, presses it into the blood stream and goes into the blood stream filtered out by the kidneys into the urinary tract and goes out.  This is the way carcinoma cells are passed out of our body.  They do not go back into the colon.  They go out through the urine.  And God made us that way so that we could be friends and be around each other and not have BO.  If these dead cells come out through the skin, you could smell this for a mile or more.  You couldn’t use enough soap and we will learn about the use of soap a little later in the class.  But anyway, God lets it go out through the urine and the solution is rather dilute and you are going to learn more about the exchange of cells."

"People who are absolutely perfect and drink the right amount of water with their weight should have at least 40,000 cells in a liter of water (urine?) every day of their life.  This is when they are drinking the normal amount.  Children have lower than that.  And whenever you are drinking the correct amount of water and you are in perfect health the urine should be as clear as the water you drink, absolutely clear.  I’m speaking about perfect health now, unless you have eaten something with coloring in it.  If you have eaten something with coloring in it, then it will change the color of the urine a little bit, but only temporarily. "

"Dr Cary A. Reams was not a medical doctor.  He was a Biophysicist. .. a research scientist of sorts.  In the quote below, there is more insight into Who it is that does the healing and Dr Reams saying he is not a medical doctor."

"And in the 10th chapter of Luke, the 9th verse, Luke the physician says this, “Heal the sick that are therein, say unto them, the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.”  You know it’s very difficult for sixth sense to win help to sinners to the Lord.  Very difficult.  And you know, the more ill you are, the weaker your faith.  And the weaker your faith, the weaker you are, the weaker your works.  So I am calling upon you this morning to open your minds and hearts to this beautiful message that’s in the Bible, the health book.  If anybody asks you to recommend a health book.  You recommend the Bible, the best health book that was ever written and it’s infallible.  It works every time and it has much more to say about the health message and it’s going to tell you enough about it this week, so that you will search the scriptures and find in them that it is God who does the healing, not you, not I.  I have no cures.  I am not posing as a medical doctor.  I’m not a medical doctor.  I’m here to teach you the health message as it’s written in the Bible.  And if that’s a sin, I’m a sinner.  If that’s breaking the law.  Then I’m breaking the law.  But I’m here to teach you how to teach people how to be healthy."  (emphasis mine)

[Larry]

Thank you all for your posts and prayers.

I know that a couple of Saturdays ago, some of you prayed for us and we had a very good day, the Lord showed me something on that day, that was a blessing... it was very personal in nature.

Michelle had to delay her chemo so her Platlets could build back up but she is back on track and only has three more to go.

I had to sort of take a brake from thinking about and reading about cancer, it was just waring me down.

This has been a very bad year for the flue but , thank you Lord, nither Michelle, the girls nor myself have been sick.

Thanks again, Larry

Hi Larry,

My husband and I did a lot of cancer research when a relative developed an aggressive stage 4 cancer.  (Relative is still alive and well, and it has been many years, by the way.) 

One of the most fascinating men we came across in our research was a scientist by the name of Royal Raymond Rife.

Sometime around 2003 or 2004, a two-part VHS video series was produced by a Canadian group.  These films are titled, The Rise and Fall of a Scientific Genius:  The Forgotten Story of Royal Raymond Rife."  Books and other resources are available on this man and his work.  His machines can be used for so much more than cancer!

We know three families who own and use various models of the Rife machine. 

I don't know why it is that I don't hear much mentioned about Royal Raymond Rife but I know that if cancer were to afflict our family, I would definitely take a serious look at what's out there by way of Rife machines to see whether or not they could be a help.

We pray for you and yours by name....

[Larry]

There is something new that reminds me of what Rife was doing.

Thanks for the info.

In a laboratory at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Texas, researchers injected nanoparticles into tumors they had grown in rabbits. They placed the animals on a special machine that would direct radio waves at the tumor site. They flipped a switch. The waves heated the nanoparticles and bang! Within seconds, the nanoparticles released enough heat to kill the cancer cells. No drugs, no radiation, no surgery, no apparent side effects and the healthy tissue surrounding the tumor remained unscathed.

Update on Michelle

Well, Michelle's Platelets were down to 97 on Tuesday. The usual cutoff is anything under 100 (you may  remember the last time her treatments were delayed, her platelets were 94) but the Dr. went ahead and let Michelle do the treatments this time, with strong warnings about not getting any cuts. Low platelets make you feel very tired and platelets are also what makes blood clot, if you cut yourself.

Michelle will begin taking Neumesta (sp?) shots on Friday and will get one every day for ten days, in-order to build her platelets. Some of the possible side effects are concerning BUT not likely. Most likely she will retain watter and feel like she has the flu. The big picture is that she will continue the chemo without interruption (I'm thinking thats good for Michelle and bad for the cancer) and have the surgery as scheduled.

This is crunch time and if we are going to beat this cancer we need to really give it a one two punch, with chemo and surgery. Of course all the chemo and surgery in the world is useless without the blessing of God. I don't know what God has in mind for us but I do know that he is tender hearted and rich in mercy and that His ways are not my ways. I don't think God sent this or even allowed it, in a direct and personal way. I think its just inevitable that something happen to each and everyone of us, as a result of Adam sinning....thats the reason Jesus died on the cross. What I do know for a fact is that SOMETIMES God answers prayer just because he is God and wants to bless us, I have seen Him do it!

Some of you know this already, When Michelle asked to be anointed with oil and prayed for in church, she felt a heat in her lower abdomen and lower back (this was in November)...did God heal her then? We don't know. I hope he did but I just don't know.

I intend to keep on asking. God knows that I don't know and I don't think he minds my asking over and over again...will you continue to help me ask?   

I also wanted to tell you all that as a result of my responding to a post, by Scotshelper, on 7x, I made the acquaintance with a wonderful lady in Lexington Ky. who is a Dietitian in a natural food store and she has helped us a great deal with getting Michelle on a better diet and she turned us on to Essiac Tea http://www.cancertutor.com/Cancer/Essiac.html and confermed that the Budwig Protocol was in order.
She has written a book about the healing property's of natural food http://www.wholefoodsforlife.com/healingpower/ and helped Bob Unterbrink with his book "when they say..."Nothing Can Be Done"

Thank you, Larry

[mykidsmom]

Larry,

You're wife does NOT need shots to increase her platelets!  Please understand, I cared for my MIL for 2.5yrs with leukemia.  She LIVED with platelets at 8  for most of that time.  Having platelets of 94,000 (the 94 is in thousands) is not bad!!! Yes, it's lower then the normal low of 110,000, but it does not require shots.  I would really encourage you to do some research on this before you allow those shots.  You see, those shots don't just increase platelets, they can potentially increase cancer cells also.  Please, please, please do your research and consult a naturepath before you agree to them.   I realize this post is a few days old so I hope you see this soon.  Until a person's platelets get down to 20K it really is no trouble to even have surgery.  The body functions incredibly well at those lower numbers.  Boy, my MIL would have danced in the streets to have a platelet count of 94! 

God bless,

patti

p.s.  essiac tea is excellent for treating/preventing cancer!

[Larry]

It turns out that I got the name wrong. The name of the shot is "Neumega", I have researched it but if you know something specific PLEASE post it.

I have spent the last 22 years working in a ministry for the elderly and have seen more cancer than most people. I have seen many people cured with chemo and have seen many die as a direct result of "high dose chemo". I have also seen a handfull use natural methods....one survived.

I believe that we are fearfully and wonderfully made, and that the Earth, as created, contained everything needed for life. I believe that the ground was cursed and there has been a steady decline in the environment (rain leaching minerals out of the ground, the magnetic field, I don't know) as evidenced by the long life spans people had. I believe that God gave us herbs for our healing and I also believe he gave us Dr.s' .

I am in a very difficult spot and it would take some very compelling evidence to make us stop chemo at this point. No shots no chemo, no chemo surgery. If the surgery goes well, we will , worst case scenario, be dealing with cancer at a cellular level and best case, no cancer at all! Whatever the outcome of the surgery, we will be doing everything we can to keep Michelle alive and that includes natural foods and cures. Two more weeks of chemo to go and then a month to regain her strength and then the surgery.

I can not begin to tell you how much I love my wife, I have spent hundreds of hours researching this, trying to find ways to help keep my daughters and I from losing Michelle,  so I say again, if you know something, PLEASE PLEASE post it!

Thank you, Larry

[BJ_BOBBI_JO]

Thank you, Larry

Larry- your post touched my hart and I want to pray for you and your family even more so now. I know from a wife's perspective that your loving attitude towards the care taking of your wife is much appreciated by her I'm sure. My husband is the same way and he has taken wonderful care of me after I have had surgeries and I love him all the more for it and he is my hero for it just as I'm sure you are a hero to Michelle.

Last year thanks to someone on the welltellme site I discovered what an herb called
poke root was because it grows everywhere in my part of Indiana. I did a little research on it and found that it is said to be a good cancer fighter and is especially good in fighting cancerous tumors and breast cancers. Is is said to be good for the lymph system also.

The info I kept reading about poke root gave me enough respect for poke root to be kind of fearful of it because they say it is powerful, so I am at this time afraid to use the poke root tincture I made until I study more about it. I do not have cancer but was hoping to use it for some other things.

I have found while doing poke root searches on google that there are herbal places online who sell it. IMO that would be a safer way to go then to use poke root from ones own yard because the herbal company knows what is a safe dosage and what is not where as we would not know dosages for such a serious herb.

Try a google search " poke root cancer"  or whatever and you will find info and places to buy the tincture and other forms of it if you want to try it.


I have heard and read that how when ppl with cancer go on  a vegan  no chemical, no preservative food diet that it is much better for them. My cousin with brain cancer did that diet and he lived several years longer then he was supposed to and lived a good life too.[/color]

[BJ_BOBBI_JO]

In addition to the above mentioned POKE ROOT there is also BURDOCK ROOT.  It is also said to be a cancer fighter and it is tasty when fried up as well. You might know burdock as the plant outside in the summer that has tons of frustrating burs on it and clings to ones clothing, hair and pets like crazy.

[Larry]

Thanks BJ!

Poke Root huh? I'll look into that, I love Poke Salad and have always hear ed that the buries are poison but have never hear ed anything about the roots. We have Burdock Root and it is also the main ingredient in Essiac Tea.... I keep getting conformation that Burdock Root is good for fighting cancer.

Michelle is doing wonderfull! I am so thankfull to God for leading us through all of this. Today her platlet counts were 130! and we have had great five or six days, the Dr. told us Thursday that Michelle didn't need to continue the Neuemega shots because she was doing so good, I'm sure the whole foods had something to do with that...as well as God answering prayers.

I am defiantly in way over my head and it touches me that people I have never met, face to face, are praying for us.

Blessings, Larry

And this how-to:

Finally, I have been experimenting with "Oxygen Baths" recently... welding O2 trickled into a bath-tub... nothing fancy. It seems to oxygenate the water and has very interesting effects. I recommend trying it...

By the way, the difference between medical O2 and welding O2 seems to be the way the tanks are inspected. The welding tanks are not required to be placed under vacuum... medical O2 tanks are required this additional step to guarantee purity of gas... however, I believe that you could easily get an open prescription for medical O2. I highly recommend trying it. It seems to provide a "whole body rush" of oxygen... it might cause strong detoxing, though... so the first time or so, just take a short bath, and watch your body's response to the O2.

Update

We are done with chemo!

I realise that some may read this in the future that are facing the same thing so I have some recommendations:

I take disinfectint wipes and clean off the work area, before the nurses began working on Michelle. the nurses think I am a nut but I have noticed that they soon learned to be extra carfull with sanitary protocol, when they are working on Michelle, because her husband will say something if they don't.

We have a sign on our door that says "Due to Michelle's low immune system, if you have the flue or a cold, or may have been exposed to someone who has, please come back at another time. We appreciate your prayers and concern".

I figured out that, while nurses are wonderfull people, nurses are lazy. Once the Dr. was running late so Michelle could not get hooked up until something like 1:30 and if they had administered the chemo at the same speed as normal, we would have been there after the office closed so they sped her up... was it a coincident that that round of chemo was the hardest one on Michelle? I don't think so. From that time on, I would sneak and slow down her chemo and increase the speed of her saline. The more Selene you get, the easier it is. You can pinch the skin on the top of your hand and it should snap back in place, if it don't, you are dehydrated. The nurses would rather tell you to drink plenty of watter when you get home, than change IV bags.

Early on, we found out that our insurance would not pay for all the Kytrill (an anti nausea drug) Michelle needed, the Dr. said "no problem, I will write a prescription for Emend" (another anti nausea drug) BIG PROBLEM Michelle almost died! her BP was 220 over 110! the staff at the ER could not believe she was concuss, her pulse was 30!  It turns out that the Emend reacted with some of the herbs Michelle had been taking. Lesson learned, if you are taking something that is working, don't mess with it. We stop ed all herbs except ginger root tea. Lesson #2 when your doing 100 mph, on your way to the ER, at 2:am and you don't know if the love of your life will make it....it's good to know the Lord! Lesson #3 I told the Dr. that under no circumstances would we try any other drugs when we already have one that works, we appealed the insurance and lost, the medication would have run $600 pr month but it worked out and the Dr. was able to get samples.

Ginger tea..thank you SC Lady

Whole foods build your body up... it's true. Through the Providence of the Lord, we met a lady who got us up to speed on that.

I work in an office and have had to ask vender's to come back when they are over their cold. I use hand sanitizer all the time and also spray disinfectant in the air.

I guess people started dreading having to deal with me because I interviewed everyone who I had to come in close contact with or who came to my home...if they were sick or had come in contact with someone who was, it was a deal breaker. We walked into my dd's fiddle lesson one day and I asked "how are you doing?" "that's nice, how is that new baby?" Oh, the flue,I'm sorry but we can't stay" the point is, don't be afraid to speak up.

As for us, we have a CT Scan in the A.M. and have to hand deliver it to the Dr. at Wake Forest the on the 2nd, so we will be taking the kids and be looking for something fun to do as a family. We have a month off and then surgery.

Thank you all and God bless, Larry

PS: For now it is the Budwig Protocol and Essic Tea and a whole foods. I have a month to sell Michelle on some of the other suggestions and study up on them myself.

PPS: The Lord has been so good to me! My church family and our family and people I have never met, have given us so much! I had always sort of been prideful, in respects that I was a man and I would provide for my family, I would protect them. How silly I was, it' was sin. well God got me out of that fast. He let me know that it was him that had provided for and protected my family all thees years. I couldn't tell you how many meals people have brought to us. I can tell you that churches have felt led to take up offerings to help us and family have given us money... a man from my church gave me a pure blooded Black Angus bull. all told, people have given us over $16,000 ! the old Larry would have taken offence and refused any offer of help, the new Larry is humbled.

That is a great testimony Larry. It is great that you keep on fighting for your wife and protecting her. Still keeping your family in my prayers.

[Siege]

Still praying Larry. If I knew you and had to come over, I would gladly follow your rules. You are right in your insistence of health around you and your family. Keep up the good work. CJ

[Clementine]

Larry, I am praying for you and your wife. She is a lucky woman to have such a supportive husband. You are also wise to use the disinfectant wipes. As a hospital employee, I know that things aren't always cleaned as well as they should be.    And there is a lot of nasty bacteria floating around hospitals and Dr. offices. 

[Larry]

Just to recap: Six months ago we were told that there was no hope. We did some digging and a lot of praying and found a surgeon who basically said that he can add some years to her life. We learned from the internet that at least one of his patents has made a full recovery.

Michelle went to the Church and asked that the Elders pray for her and anoint her with oil....she felt a heat in her lower abdomen and back.

Six months of chemo, one week on and one week off. Budwig Protocol and whole foods, the best we could do, not too strict.

We went back the the surgeon on the 2nd. On the way down we stopped at the Bass Pro Shop and something happened. Michelle and the girls were like three kids in a toy store. I was looking at pocket knives and watching the girls wander around looking at stuffed animals when I realised just how the girls must understand things and why they were having such a good time... talk is cheep to kids but at that moment they had something tangible, they had there bright eyed and bushy tailed mother with them for the first time in a long time...I just about got beside myself.


We just got home today. This is what the Dr. said, after looking at the C/T Scan, “that was a very good looking C/T Scan, I didn't see any sign of cancer”!  He said that it was possible that there were some tumors that were too small to see on the C/T and we wont know until the surgery. We have to do it to make sure.... if its gone already, it wont matter but if there is one cancer cell left in there, we are going after it. The Surgeon also said “your chances look excellent” .

We are extatick and at the same time guarded in our enthuseasm. I'll tell you this, if she lives or dies, I'm telling you that God has been good to me!



Thank you all for praying for us! I am profoundly grateful to you all.

Larry

[healthyinOhio]

We are ecstatic and at the same time guarded in our enthusiasm. I'll tell you this, if she lives or dies, I'm telling you that God has been good to me!

This is a beautiful way to look at your situation, Larry.  It just brought tears to my eyes.  I don't know, maybe I am a little emotional, today, because I have been at a funeral all day, today.  So, knowing how precious our time is has been stressed on my heart.  I truly hope and pray that your wife has many more years with your family.
