"An article entitled "The Scientific Basis Behind Alternative Cancer Treatments", by Tanya Harter Pierce, MA, MFCC states: Otto Warburg demonstrated that all cancer cells share the important trait of being primarily anaero- bic. Whereas all healthy cells in our bodies require an oxygen-rich environment. Warburg was able to show that cancer cells actually thrive in an oxygen-depleted environment. He further proved that, rather than using oxygen, cancer cells use glucose fermentation for their energy needs." - Matt Monarch, Raw Success (Get the book.)

"If you love Star Trek, you might choose to see yourself in a spaceship shooting down cancer cells and picture them exploding. If you love flowers, you might picture a beautiful garden where healthy cells bloom like roses, and cancer cells dry up and die. Now that you have your image, there are many methods of imagery practice. You may want to capture the image on paper to remind you, or have music that is complementary to your vision. Some people have even recorded themselves or someone else reading a vision script to them." - Rick Foster, Greg Hicks, M.D., Jen Seda, Choosing Brilliant Health: 9 Choices That Redefine What It Takes to Create Lifelong Vitality and Well-Being (Get the book.)

"Other studies using breast cancer cells (with estrogen-postive receptors) showed that there was no stimulation of the receptors. This study also showed that Tamoxifen (a drug used in women at risk for breast cancer or to prevent breast cancer recurrence) effects were increased, not decreased. A Japanese study indicates that black cohosh inhibits breast cancer cells. Black cohosh is available in tinctures, tablets, and capsules." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"Warburg was able to show that cancer cells actually thrive in an oxygen-depleted environment. He further proved that, rather than using oxygen, cancer cells use glucose fermentation for their energy needs. The reason that healthy cells sometimes change from aerobic respiration to anaerobic respiration -and then may turn into cancer cells - is not entirely understood. The theory I propose above explains what "is not entirely understood"." - Matt Monarch, Raw Success (Get the book.)

"We also need to make sure that the body chemistry is directed toward a more alkaline state. cancer cells are produced when the body becomes more and more acidic. cancer cells are somewhat anaerobic; they do not like oxygen. In fact, oxygen is said to kill cancer cells. When water is available and brings with it all the defending agents and the needed ingredients, it also brings oxygen to the cancer cells. This is another reason why water is a good cancer medication. For more information, take a look at my DVD or video Health Miracles in Water and Salt." - F. Batmanghelidj, Water: For Health, for Healing, for Life: You're Not Sick, You're Thirsty! (Get the book.)

"There are several types of T-cells, including some that kill cancer cells, some that help stimulate the immune response, and some that help turn off the immune response, after a health crisis has passed. One type of T-cell that helps activate the immune response is called a helper T-cell. There are two different kinds of helper T-cells: Th-1 (or thymus-helper 1), and Th-2 cells. They work in concert with one another, but have very different functions. • Th-1 cells. These immune system cells are involved in immunity that is performed by the cells themselves, known as cell-mediated immunity." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"Beard observed that the cells that eventually become the placenta behave like cancer cells. He also noted that the placenta stops growing on day fifty-six of the human pregnancy, which interestingly is the same day the fetus's pancreas begins to function. He came to the conclusion that the fetus's pancreas secreted something that stopped the growth of the placenta and hypothesized that the same substance might stop the growth of malignant cancer. Beard conducted experiments with juices extracted from young animal pancreases to test his theory." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"They take on the characteristics of cancerous cells, a localized cluster of cancer cells (i.e., carcinoma in situ). In fact, given the glandular elements they populate, they are another example of ductal carcinoma in situ (see chapter 6). Nearly every man will have carcinoma in situ by age eighty, and probably most in midlife. Obviously, most never are aware of the cancer they harbor. These cells are generally slow to grow and slow to metastasize. Death supervenes long before the prostate cancer harbored by the vast majority of men is ever heard from. 3." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"The starvation or weakening of healthy cells caused by the cancer cells' incessant draining of nutrients from the tissue fluids, greatly diminishes the affected organ's glucose and energy reserves. This is the main reason behind the failure of organs associated with cancer. To prepare this simple, inexpensive but powerful remedy, combine pure 5 parts of 100% maple syrup (ideally B-grade), with 1 part of pure baking soda (with no added aluminum!).53 Place the mixture in a sauce pan and heat it on a medium flame for five minutes. Stir briskly." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"The evidence that most sunscreen ingredients have hormonal effects comes largely from experiments demonstrating their ability to stimulate proliferation of human breast cancer cells, and to induce the production of breast cancer protein in laboratory tests (8 ). The sunscreen chemicals Bp-3,4-MBC, and OMC increased uterine growth when fed to immature rats (9), and the painting of the skin of immature female rats with 4-MBC, using concentrations of the chemical similar to those found in common sunscreens, significantly increased uterine growth." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.)

"Unlike normal cells in your body, which have a limited life span (one of the main reasons we age and die), cancer cells, in general, do not age and die. Functionally, they can live forever. This gives them a major competitive advantage over healthy cells in your body. The bottom line is that, yes, your body is capable of reversing an established cancer. Doctors see it all the time. They call it "spontaneous remission." But it is far easier to prevent cancer than it is to reverse it. So what do you do to prevent or reverse cancer? This is the big question, isn't it?" - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.) "That is to say, it eliminates the "immortality" of cancer cells which is their trademark and which makes them so deadly. Green tea is particularly effective in destroying the causes of leukemia, prostate cancer, and breast cancer. And the benefits of green tea don't stop there. It has also been shown to be effective in regulating blood sugar, reducing triglycerides and in reversing the ravages of heart disease. (Incidentally, the Japanese, who drink large amounts of green tea, have some of the lowest rates of cardiovascular disease in the world." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.) "IU Recent studies have shown that alpha carotene is one of the most powerful carotenoids and has a strong inhibitoty effect on the proliferation of various types of cancer cells such as those affecting the lungs, stomach, cervix, breast, bladder, and mouth. It works by allowing normal cells to send growth-regulating signals to premalignant cells. Lutein? mg In addition to being a specific for the prevention of macular degeneration (lowering the risk by over 50%), lutein has also been shown to have strong anti-cancer properties." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.) "In humans, they have been shown to inhibit the proliferation of various types of cancer cells such as those affecting the lungs, stomach, cervix, breast, bladder, and mouth. They also have been proven to protect against atherosclerosis, cataracts, macular degeneration, and other major degenerative disorders. The key carotenoids ate beta carotene, alpha carotene, lycopene, and zeaxanthin. Ptobably the best known of the carotenoids, beta carotene, is converted by the body into vitamin A as needed to strengthen the immune system and promote healthy cell growth." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"Parabens' presence in breast tissue on its own mcrirninates them as a possible cause of breast cancer, but they have also been shown to stimulate the growth of estrogen-sensitive breast cancer cells in laboratory tests. (11) In spite of extensive literature on the hormonal effects of parabens, the 2006 industry Cosmetic Ingredient Review Compendium still trivialized such concerns by stating that these ingredients "must certainly be considered safe." The FDA agrees: "At the present time, there is no reason for consumers to be concerned about the use of cosmetics containing parabens." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.)

"There was the maranon, a red-orange fruit five times richer in vitamin C than oranges; anona, which looks like a misshapen, thick-skinned pear known to have selective toxicity against various types of cancer cells; and wild ginger, a great source of vitamin Bg, magnesium, and manganese. "All of these are antioxidant powerhouses associated with disease prevention and longer life," Eliza informed us. "At the edge of the garden, Aureliano showed me the corn and bean field he tends and harvests twice a year." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"Therefore, cancer cells began to grow in her lower spine where the resistance to cancer formation was particularly low. Mary had also been suffering from severe menstrual problems for as long as she remembered. In addition, she had been diagnosed with anemia. However, despite taking iron tablets regularly for years, which caused her frequent nausea and stomach cramps, she remained anemic. She told me that her digestive system had "never worked properly," and constipation often lasted for as many as three to five days in a row." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Research has focused heavily on how these enzymes affect cancerous tumors. cancer cells are surrounded by a protein that protects them by disguising them from the immune system. These enzymes break down that protein and expose the cancer to the immune system for removal. These enzymes may have a similar effect on viruses and bacteria. The other areas of research on the health benefits of these enzymes include inflammation, heart disease, and stroke. The protein fibrin contributes to these conditions by causing blood clots." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"If you love flowers, you might picture a beautiful garden where healthy cells bloom like roses, and cancer cells dry up and die. Now that you have your image, there are many methods of imagery practice. You may want to capture the image on paper to remind you, or have music that is complementary to your vision. Some people have even recorded themselves or someone else reading a vision script to them. Other people use senses of smell, touch, or hearing to evoke a sense image. Find ten to fifteen minutes when you won't be disturbed. Close your eyes." - Rick Foster, Greg Hicks, M.D., Jen Seda, Choosing Brilliant Health: 9 Choices That Redefine What It Takes to Create Lifelong Vitality and Well-Being (Get the book.)

"In 2005, nearly 300 studies were published on CLA, including studies in which CLA slowed the spread of cancer cells, helped stop bone loss in postmenopausal women, calmed the inflammation of asthma, was linked to lower rates of colon cancer, and boosted immune function," Preuss says. Two more supplements figure into our little combo cure for weight loss: green tea and chromium. Let's look at them one by one." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.) "It also contains acetylenics, which have been shown to stop the growth of cancer cells, as well as phenolic acids, which block the action of compounds in the body known to encourage the growth of cancerous tumors. And celery is also a dieter's best friend. Smear some peanut or almond butter on it for a stick-to-your-ribs snack and energy pick-me-up. It combines wonderfully with other vegetables, or with fruit, in a juicer. One of my favorite juice recipes: one pear, several stalks of celery, and a few inches of gingerroot, thrown together in a juice maker." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"Here, patients learned to imagine the cancer cells inside their bodies as (among other things) weak and confused entities that were being systematically destroyed by an army of courageous white blood cells sent out to fight the good fight by their immune systems. These developments interacted in the thinking of both patients and psychologically minded doctors with new quasi-psychoanalytic personality research on cancer that partially redefined what it might mean to speak of positive thinking." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.)

"The higher the dose, the more cancer cells are killed." But the higher the dose, the greater the toxicity to normal cells and the more deadly the side effects. The doctors believed that breast tumors resisted being cured by chemo because doctors simply could not give their patients high-enough doses without causing them serious harm. Frei reasoned that combination chemo could get around that problem because each drug had a different side effect. Besides causing hair to fall out in clumps, Adriamycin also damages the heart when given in high doses. The drug BCNU harms the liver." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) "High-dose chemo made too much sense not to work—if a little chemotherapy kills most breast cancer cells, more will kill the rest. All of which makes the saga of high-dose chemo more understandable, if not easier to forgive. Unfortunately, it represents just another treatment among many that are based more on sound reasoning than on sound evidence, on hope rather than real cures. Most of us cannot imagine this to be the case. We live in the age of science, after all." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)

"Other conducted scientific studies had shown that people could influence yeast, fungi and even isolated cancer cells.0 In one of them, a biologist named Carroll Nash at St Joseph's University in Philadelphia found that people could influence the growth rate of bacteria just by willing it so.10 An ingenious trial by Gerald Solfvin showed that our ability to 'hope for the best' might actually affect the healing of other beings. Solfvin created a series of complex and elaborate conditions for his test. He injected a group of mice with a type of malaria, which is usually fatal in rodents." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) "Popp wondered whether certain plant extracts could change the character of biophoton emissions of cancer cells, so that they would began to communicate again with the rest of the body. He began experimenting with a number of non-toxic substances purported to be successful in treating cancer. In all but one instance, the substances only increased the photons from tumor cells, making it even more deadly to the body. The single success story was mistletoe, which seemed to help the body to 'resocialize' the photon emission of tumor cells back to normal." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"Preliminary evidence indicates that CoQ10 may suppress the proliferation of cancer cells and boost immune factors that kill cancer cells. 4. CoQI 0 is effective in treating heart disease and chronic fatigue syndrome in those deficient in CoQIO. 5. Those with heart disease, who benefit from CoQI 0, must continue taking it for the rest of their lives (just like other heart medications). When a study showed significant relapses in heart disease patients after CoQ10 was discontinued, the FDA tried to use this study to ban CoQ10 for not'curing'heart disease." - Robert Redfern, The Miracle Enzyme Is Serrapeptase (Get the book.)

"A Japanese study indicates that black cohosh inhibits breast cancer cells. Black cohosh is available in tinctures, tablets, and capsules. The usual dose is 40 to 80 mg daily (2 to 4 ml of tincture, three times daily), but be aware that since its full effects may not be felt for two to three weeks, it is not much help if you need immediate relief. It works best over the long term. Because most studies of black cohosh lasted only six months, that is the recommended duration for its use, but I have prescribed it longer without ill effects." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"He further proved that, rather than using oxygen, cancer cells use glucose fermentation for their energy needs. The reason that healthy cells sometimes change from aerobic respiration to anaerobic respiration -and then may turn into cancer cells - is not entirely understood. The theory I propose above explains what "is not entirely understood". The article goes on to theorize: However, it is known that under stress, the tissues of the body have a tendency to become more acidic then they would otherwise be." - Matt Monarch, Raw Success (Get the book.)

"I3C has been shown to prevent breast cancer cells from growing and can also help to regulate estrogen receptors. If you have a genetic polymorphism or a strong family history of breast cancer, I3C can help you make more of the beneficial 2-OH estrones and fewer 16-OH estrones. I3C converts into DIM (diindolylmethane) in your digestive tract. Both I3C and DIM improve estrogen metabolites and are available as suppplements. Because DIM is less expensive and doesn't require stomach acid to work, it is often touted as the preferred supplement." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)
