Guest guest Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Hi , You stated that through enzymes, metastasis occurs and when there is rapid metastasis it leads you to ask if the client is taking enzymes. Why is it then, that and Kelley have had success using massive amounts of proteolytic enzymes? treats a lot of Pancreatic cancer and it is a fast growing cancer. Also, in your opinion, it is dangerous to continue taking enzymes as part of a maintenance program to prevent recurrence of cancer? Thanks, Do enzymes cause metastasis? Sure they do, but a person might well die of other aspects of the disease, or get cured of the disease, before significant metastasis occurs. It is through enzymes (the matrix metalloproteinases) that all metastasis occurs. There is much research in both conventional and alternative medicine to inhibit these enzymes. Whenever I find a patient with inexplicably fast metastasis I always ask if they were taking enzymes. Surprisingly often I hear yes. From: VGammill <vgammill@...> Subject: [ ] cancer, one disease? Cc: staff@... Date: Thursday, April 2, 2009, 1:46 PM There has been a short discussion on this list as to whether cancer is one disease or many different diseases. There are a great number of commonalities among the many different cancers. These can be some of the surface markers, the changes in the cancer cell membrane, some of the biochemical pathways, and the devices that cancer uses to disarm immune function. To the degree that these traits are shared the practitioner can find many useful general purpose treatments. The usefulness of these treatments tends to steer one in the direction of thinking of cancer as one disease with perhaps many faces. On the other hand there are thousands of unique attributes that characterize the different cancers. These can be individually targeted. If one focuses only on the uniqueness of a cancer then it would be easy to conclude that there are hundreds or thousands of discrete types of cancer. Anything you do in cancer therapy affects a change in a biological pathway. Anytime you affect a biological pathway you are also affecting many other pathways. Some of the changes are desirable, some undesirable, some unknown or inconsequential. I would be hard pressed to think of any effective treatment without a downside, and any poison without an upside.

Whenever I find a patient with inexplicably fast metastasis I always ask if they were taking enzymes. Surprisingly often I hear yes. Enzymes are one of nature's greatest inventions. It was enzymes that allowed life to evolve outside of the ocean, otherwise we would be forever stuck to wiggling around in catalytic seas. Enzymes could snatch up a mineral when available, be it magnesium, cobalt, zinc, selenium, etc., and pack it to go. One of the most fascinating areas of scientific research is the concordance of enzymes and catalysts. We want to be very, very selective with our intentional use of enzymes. We could chew up the world with their willy-nilly use. Likewise we can bring the whole world of the living to a screeching halt with the unfettered use of enzyme inhibitors. Yes, list, I believe in evolution. I just don't care enough to find conflicts between science and religion. I leave that business to people who are more warlike than me. It is personally interesting to me that the vast majority of people who do my program are religious and from every religion. Part of the joy of my work is teaching people how to compartmentalize their belief systems. Sometimes it seems that my program becomes filled with fundamentalist preachers. I don't know what draws them to me; maybe for them it is walk on the wild side. Maybe I am ripe for saving. Some people are just born without the gene for religion.just as some people are incapable of appreciating art. When I was younger I tried to pray, but just felt like a total fraud. Religion has to be genetic. My father who was extremely intelligent would always go to church on Sunday and was a big contributor. He thought that the church did good work and he enjoyed the social aspects of it, but just couldn't connect with any unwarranted belief. My two sons are ultra smart. I offered to take them to any church, or synagogue, or masjid. I think it is important to be well rounded. My boys just look at me like I'm crazy. They are wrong. Religion can be an enriching part of the human experience -- for those with the gene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
