A bacterial/viral/fungal friendly biological terrain encourages growth and proliferation of the above, which then causes the symptoms of what the medical profession terms 'disease.' An alkaline body is hostile to these pathogens and therefore tends to be consistently healthy.&lt;/p&gt;

So in this case, the bacterial disease moves in, suppresses the cancer for its duration, then when the patient recovers from the bacterial disease, the cancer will return sooner or later. Lots of people used his ideas without attribution like Pasteur, etc and obviously Coley.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Cancer tumors are full of bacteria and virus and are a focus of infection. IN fact there is almost nothing more dirty and infectious than a cancer tumor. This idea that a cancer tumor is just a bunch of growing cancer cells is totally flawed. A cancer tumor is full of bacteria, parasites and viruses. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All these scientific studies &amp;nbsp;are totally manipulated...How do you know which studies support? They are all being paid by pharmaceutical companies. &lt;/p&gt;

I first learned of &amp;quot;Coley's Toxins&amp;quot; from one of a number of excellent books by Ralph W. Moss called &amp;quot;Cancer Therapy&amp;quot;. &amp;nbsp;What was so interesting to me about Coley is that his concept didn't spark continuing research in that same vein until much later. &amp;nbsp;The nutritionist Dr. Aajonus Vonderplanitz who is currently saving my life, has understood that bacteria are not the horrible threat that we've been taught they are. I am eating an all raw diet which is loaded with bacteria--undisturbed by heat or anything else that would kill them off. Factually I have had more cold and flu symptoms, more vomiting, diarrhea, ear infections and fevers, than I can recall since I was a small child. After each of the many episodes and in between them, I feel full of energy, and in good spirits. It seems like with the lost battles, I am actually winning the war. Really, I am thriving! &amp;nbsp;For a full story of the successful actions I have adopted you may refer to &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.wewant2live.blogspot.com"&gt;www.wewant2live.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt; in the cancer section, first posted in four parts on November 1st, 2007.&lt;/p&gt;

Not something to recommend as the risks from dying by the disease are significant.&lt;/p&gt;

His daughter, in an analysis of 896 successful cases, demonstrated that there actually was something in Coley’s Toxin that worked against Cancer. It appeared to be a Mechanism that was stimulated by various bacteria.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Even though Dr Coley’s work was discovered one hundred years ago, it was more than twenty years ago that Professor Lloyd Old, of the Sloan-Kettering Institute in New York , actually clarified the mechanism, which some bacteria produce substances that stimulate the “macrophages” (large scavenger cells) to liberate a factor which attacks Cancer Cells and destroys them. This substance bears the scientific name “tumor necrosis factor” or TNF. This substance is able to attack Cancer Cells selectively, it is also active against cells which have been infected by Viruses.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The work of Dr William B Coley has produced important developments in the New Frontier of Medicine, “Enzyme Therapy”, this new field will prove itself to be worthy of &amp;nbsp;saving lives of both Humans and Animals. Enzyme Therapy is currently responsible for the reduction of Sports Injuries, Cancer, Breast Lumps and other internal injuries and illnesses, including degenerative diseases. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Enzyme Therapy seems to perform in a manner similar to the Coley’s Toxin and has no adverse or Toxic Reactions on the human body.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the Western tradition (of this century) its about allowing, in fact encouraging the building rubbish heaps then declaring war on the flies and maggots, blaming them for the mess.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am interested to hear more about using fasting as a cancer cure.... My understanding is that the body will rid its self of all unneeded cells first. &amp;nbsp;Also perhaps controlled heating of the body, an Indian sweat lodge style experience, seems to me it couldn't hurt. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am already convinced of the power of emotional detoxing by means of EFT, TFT, hypnotherapy, in fact any cellular memory release method. &amp;nbsp;I have seen it in action for myself. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All these things combined could result in a success rate would be huge!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The last four paragraphs read: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;**When available, data relevant to mechanisms of carcinogenesis that do not involve structural changes at the level of the gene are also described.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The adequacy of epidemiological studies of reproductive outcome and genetic and related effects in humans is evaluated by the same criteria as are applied to epidemiological studies of cancer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Structure-activity relationships that may be relevant to an evaluation of the carcinogenicity of an agent are also described.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For biological agents-viruses, bacteria and parasites-other data relevant to carcinogenicity include descriptions of the pathology of infection, molecular biology (integration and expression of viruses, and any genetic alterations seen in human tumours) and other observations, which might include cellular and tissue responses to infection, immune response and the presence of tumour markers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The scientific/medical community worldwide is still unfolding with a better understanding of how cancers develop and why some get them while others don't. &amp;nbsp;Epidemiological studies are a major factor in answering why some acquire cancer, some die from it, while others don't get it at all.&lt;/p&gt;
