Guest guest Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 Hi , What's your take on regular organic non-gmo non-fermented soy? Louise Sent wirelessly from my BlackBerry device on the Bell network. Envoyé sans fil par mon terminal mobile BlackBerry sur le réseau de Bell. [ ] Leonard's breast cancer list Leonard, I thought that I would comment on your list of recommendations for breast cancer. Many of the items we use at the Center and have much experience with them. [List: Leonard has been a personal friend for many years and I highly respect his dedication and his generous nature.] Pau d'arco tea -- We also highly recommend it. It is also useful for many conditions in addition to cancer. It does not seem to conflict 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 to light, it speaks to the importance of sleeping in a darkened 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: Scientists Uncover Progesterone's Role in Breast Cancer 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. Experiments carried out on laboratory grown cancer cells revealed 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. SOURCE/REFERENCE: International Journal of Cancer 2001; 92:469-473 Leonard, I was thinking of posting a list of useful meds myself, and I have done this pertaining to the things that I use myself, but others have expressed great annoyance and frustration when I mention meds that are unavailable to them. These things are also unavailable to me, so I make them. Sometimes the process takes months and tens of thousands of dollars. I think their annoyance should be with themselves.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 It is of course preferable to choose organic, non-GMO anything and everything. The fermentation is an optional choice that has certain added benefits. I don't think that it is good to have soy as the only source of protein. Soy is high in serine and that is a plus, but it is also low in methionine which is a plus or a minus depending on what you are trying to accomplish. Keep in mind that soy has been a traditional part of the Japanese diet and those who have stayed with the traditional diet have much lower rates of breast cancer and prostate cancer.
