Re: Leonard's breast cancer list

[Guest guest]

, thank you so much for your detailed notes and comments.

We would greatly appreciate it if you would also recommend a list for

Prostate Cancer.

Thanks.

[List: Leonard has been a personal friend for many years and I highly

Pau d'arco tea -- We also highly recommend it. It is also useful for

with other therapies. We recommend that it be purchased in bulk

powdered form (not shredded, capsules or tea bags).

Melatonin -- As this is produced only when your eyes are not exposed

room. I have purchased quantities very cheaply at Costco as I am

concerned that it could be taken off the market.

Vitamin D-3 -- I find it very useful as a differentiation

agent. Most cancer patients have inadequate amounts. We provide the

active form (Calcitriol) through our proximity to Mexico where it is

non-prescription. This can quickly build up reserves. I am also a

fan of the healing power of the sun.

AveMar -- the commercial product is convenient but pricey. The use

of these types of products have been in continuous use for over a

thousand years. The first recorded mention is in a Russian document

written in 989 AD.

Organic Fermented Soy -- Anything fermented is easier to digest. In

general I like soy because of it contains the Bowman-Birk inhibitor,

it is high in serine and in genistein. There is some hesitation from

many to use soy with breast cancer, but I haven't seen convincing evidence.

Curcumin --This seems to be useful across the board. The same with

Turmeric.

I3C/DIM -- There seems to be no end to the useful anti-cancer

compounds found in plants.

Calcium-d-glucarate -- This can be useful with differentiation

protocols such as the use of Breuss juice and PPAR inhibitors.

Springer Vaccine -- We have been using forms of this 14 years and

have seen turn-arounds when nothing else worked. It is pricey so we

recommend testing for high sialic acid levels before starting.

Coley's Toxins -- These can be very useful for metastatic

cancers. They are a terrible inconvenience to use, but unlike most

alternatives it was once conventional and it does have a verifiable

track record.

Hyperthermia -- As a standalone whole body hyperthermia is a useful

contributor to detoxification. For cancer it can kick up most other

therapies especially if used with hyperthermia sensitizers, e.g., we

induce prostaglandin J-2 as a sensitizer.

IPT -- can be useful, but there are many caveats on which I have

posted in the past.

[There are many, many other highly effective meds and strategies, but

their use depends on type, grade, history, discipline, affordability,

availability, and patient preferences.]

Leonard's next most effective remedies:

Vit C -- This is often very useful in high doses at crunch time. For

the past 15 years I have used it with menadione. It is also useful

with alpha lipoic acid. Occasionally it will feed a cancer or cancer

will plow right through it. Certain approaches (such as Cantron)

have traditionally discouraged its use with their particular

strategies. I have never seen convincing evidence that it undermines

any particular chemotherapy or radiation. It can increase the

effectiveness and lower toxicity of some other therapies such as

methylglyoxal. Unlike most other mammals humans cannot make their

own ascorbate. During the last ice age humans have learned to

survive with very little needed. I think that liposomal vitamin C is

a big scam. It would take a cationic liposome to have any hope of

getting ascorbic acid to a cancer cell.

Vitamin E -- I use the succinate form extensively. Vit E is not to

be used with FSO/CC.

Iodine -- Very useful with many alternative protocols as is thyroid,

but don't use unnecessary thyroid with chemotherapy, survival rates drop.

Artemix -- In general the artemisinin derivatives are useful.

Mistletoe -- I think its usefulness is greater than that portrayed in

the conventional literature.

Astragalus -- This is such common use with Chinese protocols that I

think its use cannot be ignored. I know of no reason not to use it.

Green tea -- This is unfortunately high in fluoride so I encourage

the use of EGCG instead. There are many reasons I am extremely fond

of EGCG, for example, it will inhibit vimentin and thus the

epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in breast cancer and in many

other cancers too. It is under recognized as a tNOX

inhibitor. Many very effective strategies can incorporate its

use. I think Leonard should consider elevating EGCG to his very

list of favorites.

Poke -- I don't use it because of its potential toxicity, but I don't

discourage its use.

Kutki -- In large doses it is an abortifacient and many

abortifacients (such as RU-486) do have anticancer activity.

Zeolite -- Zeolite is little more than refined, powdered, inorganic

dirt. I think we evolved to require alumina and silica in our diet

as these are so useful as biocatalysts. You can't raise hogs on

concrete unless you throw a little dirt in there for them to eat --

at least that is what the Amish tell me.

Pomegranate -- the husk or peel is extremely high in the

ellagitannins and is one of my favorites.

CoQ-10 -- I have not seen the results vs cancer that many have hoped

for. Nonetheless its useful shouldn't be discounted. It can be

quite cardioprotective in chemotherapy.

Chlorella -- This kicks up cellular immunity. It is quite useful.

Sandlewood and essential oils -- a surprising number of essential

oils have anti-viral activity. Sandlewood oil has been used against

HPV which is causative of cervical cancer. There is much artificial

sandlewood oil on the market.

COX-2 inhibitors -- In general these are useful.

PolyMVA -- This is expensive and is palladium based. Palladium is

almost identical to platinum in conventional cancer

therapy. Multiple drug resistance comes with the use of platinum and

I imagine palladium is quite similar.

Digitoxin -- A favorite of mine.

Progesterone cream -- see below:

Results of a preliminary study by scientists at the Jonsson

Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of California suggest

that the hormone progesterone contributes to breast cancer by

boosting the production of a growth factor that aids tumor growth.

that progesterone appears to stimulate the production of vascular

endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which is vital for the growth of

blood vessels for both normal cells and cancer cells. The findings

may explain why drugs that block progesterone can be useful in the

treatment of breast cancer.

A couple of these things below, recommended to me by and which I believe

'turned me around', Pau d'arco tea and Curcumin for example, seem to keep

'popping up' as worthwhile efforts. I get lots of sun and during this cold and

dark winter in the south, I worked with D-3. However, the phase of bladder

cancer I was diagnosed with was not 'invasive' and I did allow Conventional

Immunotherapy and did have tree tumors removed on three different occasions.

Aware of what we all face, should this 'thing' surface again and if 'invasive',

then you can be sure I'm heading West and knocking on 's door. I need to

look at Vitamin E Succinate.

,  Is your practice open?  I have breast cancer with many mets to

bones.  I was thinking about getting ipt.  The clinic told me that hypothermia

is the best for bones.  They do multiple things.  What do you think of ipt in

this situation plus hypothermia plus ozone therapy, plus homepathics and more? 

What do you think of graviola?

Hi Robyn,

 

In 1991 I was diagnosed with Stage Four lymphoma cancer of the bone. My

oncologist was too good a doctor to tell me my chances--but I researched and

found I probably didn't have more than six months to live; less than ten percent

chance of survival. I read everything I could about how patients survived

terminal illnesses--and I found that utilizing the mind/body connection was a

big factor. So I got into meditation and visualization. The cancer came back

three more times in the next five years; in the middle of this mess I discoverd

Chinese internal energy exercises, called qigong, and trained with a master from

Boston. It helped me get through two bone marrow transplants.

 

Obviously, it's not magic, as my cancer didn't disappear overnight--I had to

keep fighting. But it was a big help: it calmed my mind, controlling my

fight-or-flight syndrome that floods the body with adrenal hormones that

discourage healing; the deep abdominal breathing pumped more oxygen to my blood

and supercharged my lymphatic system; and mostly, it empowered my will. I was

doing something every day to help beat it. It was a long struggle, but I've been

clear 14 years and still practicing qigong six days out of seven.

 

If you want to know more I can send you a few articles I've written as well as

the names of a book or two to get you started.

 

Nothing is written.

 

Best regards,

 

Bob Ellal
