"Over twenty-five years ago, the National Cancer Institute claimed laetrile was an ineffective cancer treatment, yet many who seek alternative cancer treatments travel to Mexico, where laetrile remains available. In the seventeenth century, apricot oil was said to be used in England to cure ulcers. In A Midsummer Night's Dream, Titania lauded apricot's aphrodisiac properties. Throw Me a Lifesaver! vision: Rich in vitamin A, a powerful antioxidant that prevents free radical damage to eye tissue, apricots may help to promote good vision." - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.)

"In America, any doctor attempting to use nutritional methods for cancer treatment may easily find himself in a good deal of trouble. He may lose his hospital privileges or even his license to practice medicine. Here in Australia there is a very similar unsympathetic attitude toward any natural treatment for cancer victims. Terminal cancer victims are sent home to die rather than referred to a natural dietary treatment. A few doctors have shown an interest in B17 treatment, but it is difficult to obtain this legally. An import permit must be first granted to a physician who requests it." - Maurice Finkel, Fresh hope with new cancer treatments: Over twenty natural methods for prevention, treatment, and control of cancer (Get the book.)

"Is taking cancer treatment with x-rays or drugs ?Has ever had a low platelet count (a blood disorder) ?People who recently had a transfusion or were given other blood products should ask their doctor when they may get MMR vaccine Autism Society of America webpage, Facts and Statistics, Autism Society of America, 2003,2006 http://www.autism-society.org/site/PageServerPpage-name=FactsStats FACTS AND STATISTICS, 2003, 2006 AUTISM SOCIETY OF AMERICA ?1 in 150 births1 ?1 to 1.5 million Americans2 ?Fastest-growing developmental disability ?10?7 % annual growth ?" - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "My energy was quite low after cancer treatment. I joined a support group to rebuild my immune system. I wanted to be healthy. The arthritis has diminished. I no longer require medication. I take walks and practice yoga. I am totally vegan, drink juices, and follow a Gary's protocol totally. Group homework assignments expanded my self-awareness and created new insights. I am delighted with the results of each new blood test. I am cancer-free and optimistic. My work, in the wardrobe department of a theatrical company, is enjoyable, and I look forward to a good season with the crew again." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"Though data from thousands of studies support taking a less toxic, more holistic approach to treatment of the disease, the majority of allopathic specialists still hold little more than a patronizing view of patients who wish to use a nutrition-based, immune system enhancing strategy in their cancer treatment. Vociferous and over-zealous protestation by oncologists, who are convinced that nutrition in cancer treatment is inherently worthless and tantamount to quackery, is embarrassing to the institution of medicine." - Mark Sircus, Transdermal Magnesium Therapy (Get the book.)

"Thus pancreatin would be a valuable aid in cancer treatment. Dr. Livingston also states the need for vitamin A, especially a form called abscissic acid which is found in the apricot and peach kernel pit skins, and in wheat sprouts. She recommends selenium highly as a treatment for cancer especially for women with breast cancer. Cancer diet must be totally vegetarian in the beginning, avoiding all processed and treated foods, especially sugar and white flour products." - Maurice Finkel, Fresh hope with new cancer treatments: Over twenty natural methods for prevention, treatment, and control of cancer (Get the book.)

"The road a person chooses to take when it comes to cancer treatment is very personal, and says a lot about what the person's belief is about treatment. It also shows what they know, and don't know, when it comes to believing what their doctor has to say and what their naturalfears may be. It is said that these are the reasons why most people line up for conventional cancer treatment, trusting in our medical system, and hoping that it won't fail them. Be very aggressive with how you treat your disease! If you do nothing, it could cost you your life!" - Gregory, A. Gore, Defeat Cancer (Get the book.)

"Gerson found that he had to give four or five enemas per day and even through the night to prevent hepatic failure. Any cancer treatment that does not keep the colon clear will have a greatly reduced success. The poisons in the colon must not be allowed to be re-absorbed, giving the liver that much more work to do. The use of the enema may continue for many months until the patient is thoroughly detoxified. Dr. Gerson also suggested the use of the coffee retention enema." - Maurice Finkel, Fresh hope with new cancer treatments: Over twenty natural methods for prevention, treatment, and control of cancer (Get the book.)

"If you think all this is a lot of money, consider the cost of alternatives, like being an invalid, or going to a remote country for an uncertain cancer treatment. In some cases, people who are serious about eliminating lesser disease conditions and regaining a more youthful vitality and health spend several hundred dollars each month to cleanse and rebuild their bodies more quickly. Eventually, monthly costs can reduce to a lower amount for maintaining an ongoing health-rebuilding and maintenance program. There are no hard and fast rules." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Many researchers believe that it can have a powerful effect upon preventing a variety of the most common cancers, including breast cancer, prostate cancer, and colon cancer, and a number of doctors are even prescribing relatively high dosages of it as an adjunctive therapy in cancer treatment. Vitamin D also appears to have the ability to not only increase immune activity, but to modulate it, and keep it within a proper range of activity. This helps to avoid autoimmune assaults upon the body, and also helps to avoid inappropriate immune reactions, such as those involved in allergy." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"There is no cancer treatment that can even remotely compete with the body's own healing mechanism, which we unfortunately label as disease. Cancer is not a disease; it is a very unusual, but apparently highly efficient, mechanism of survival and self-protection. We ought to give the most developed and complex system in the universe—the human body—a little more credit than it has so far received, and trust that it knows perfectly well how to conduct its own affairs, even under the grimmest of circumstances." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "The main obstacle to finding real cures for cancer is that modern cancer treatment is rooted in the false assumption that the body sometimes tries to destroy itself. Medical students are trained to understand the mechanism of disease development, but they are left in the dark concerning the origins of disease. Viewed superficially, to the students, an illness appears to be something destructive and harmful for the body. Seen from a deeper perspective, however, the same illness is but an attempt by the body to cleanse and heal itself, or at least, to prolong its life." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "Yet they claim chemotherapy to be an effective cancer treatment, and their unsuspecting patients believe that "effective" equals "cure." The doctors, of course, refer to the FDA's definition of an "effective" drug, one which achieves a 50% or more reduction in tumor size for 28 days. They neglect to tell their patients that there is no correlation whatsoever between shrinking tumors for 28 days and curing the cancer or extending life. Temporary tumor shrinkage through chemotherapy has never been shown to cure cancer or to extend life." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "Charles Moertel of the famous Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, once aptly summarized the modern cancer treatment dilemma in the following words: "Our most effective regimens are fraught with risks and side effects and practical problems, and after this price is paid by all the patients we have treated, only a small fraction are rewarded with a transient period of usually incomplete tumor regression." The success record of modern cancer therapy is dismal, significantly less than even the weakest placebo response. On the average, remission occurs in only about 7% of cancer patients." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Is it improved symptoms during allergy season, better sleep, reduced anxiety, less low back pain, a strong body during cancer treatment, or a svelte, toned figure during an exercise and diet program? Next, find an emotionally resonant and detailed image that you would enjoy visualizing several times a day. It should capture perfectly the best conceivable outcome, and it should be a picture that speaks to you. If you need help coming up with a specific, detailed image, turn to your Bliss List." - 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.) "These Intentions, emphatically restated and therefore never forgotten through the long course of her cancer treatment, drove all of Nancy's decisions. She told her boss not to give her job away. She made it a practice to call a few friends each day. She wrote thank-you notes to all the people who had expressed their love and concern to her. She made sure to keep active in as many nonmedical parts of her life as was possible. And she showed up at work." - 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.)

"Chelated forms of magnesium, potassium, zinc, and manganese are useful as part of cancer treatment. High-dose bromelein and pancreatin (coated) are generally available and useful additives in natural therapy. As we go to press, new ideas have emerged. Use unbleached lecithin only; oil of evening primrose, 4?" - Maurice Finkel, Fresh hope with new cancer treatments: Over twenty natural methods for prevention, treatment, and control of cancer (Get the book.)

"Buckman had heard about a spectacular cancer treatment while listening to a lecture given by Dr. Bernie Siegel, author of Love, Medicine, and Miracles. As the Times explained: Dr. Siegel told of two oncologists chatting about a study they were participating in to test a combination of four chemotherapy drugs, which had the initials EPHO. One doctor's patients were doing spectacularly well; three quarters of them were responding to the drugs. But only a quarter of the other doctor's patients were improving." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.)

"You've got a company that's a spin-off of one of the world's biggest manufacturers of carcinogenic chemicals, they've got control of breast cancer treatment, they've got control of the chemoprevention [studies], and now they have control of cancer treatment in eleven centers — which are clearly going to be prescribing the drugs they manufacture."23 They've also got control over the public message of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which focuses on early detection — in other words, find out if you've already got the disease. " - Stacy Malkan, Not Just a Pretty Face: The Ugly Side of the Beauty Industry (Get the book.)

"For example, Beau's lines are sometimes seen in people who've had a recent heart attack, surgery, infection, or cancer treatment. After treatment or recovery, the nails usually grow back normally. These ridges sometimes occur on the nails of people with chronic conditions as well. They can, for example, signal Raynaud's disease (see Blue Nails, above, and Chapter 7) or pemphigus (see Pitted Nails, above). Have you been told lately that you look as white as a ghost? If so, it shouldn't be taken lightly." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph. D., and Jacqueline Nardi Egan, Body Signs: From Warning Signs to False Alarms...How to Be Your Own Diagnostic Detective (Get the book.) "Happily, about six months to a year after cancer treatment ends, hair generally grows back. Sudden shedding can also be a delayed sign of a recent high fever or an indication that you're currently fighting a viral, bacterial, or fungal infection. But in these cases, you're likely to have other signs, such as itching, skin irritation, fever, or pain. It can also be an early warning sign of a hormonal disorder, especially thyroid disease (see Appendix I) or hypopituitarism; indeed, almost any hormonal imbalance can cause hair shedding." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph. D., and Jacqueline Nardi Egan, Body Signs: From Warning Signs to False Alarms...How to Be Your Own Diagnostic Detective (Get the book.)

"I am putting together a specific book on the various cancer treatment options. You can find all the current information for free at www.naturalcures.com. Every cancer is treated differently. Every cancer could have hundreds of very different causes. Therefore, virtually no two cancer treatment protocols would be exactly the same. Consider Poly-MVA, linseed oil, shark cartilage, hydrogen peroxide, ozone and oxygen therapy, Dr. Coldwell's stress-reducing CDs, and traditional Chinese medicine." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"Here's a benefit that might surprise most of us: Under certain conditions, it seems that eating soy may make radiation more effective during prostate cancer treatment.
