Sunshine (w/o sunscreen), water, organic food, no sugar, dairy, coffee, or processed foods and the right mental attitude will do wonders for clearing up most conditions. I have done the gamut: chiropractic, acupuncture, bionetics, etc. and just discovered auricular therapy, which for me, is a godsend. I've had chronic asthma and allergies for many years from a reaction to vaccines when I was young, and this therapy, along w/clearing out candida (yeast overgrowth), parasites, and re-establishing beneficial flora through pro-biotics, have helped me immensely. As for cancer (cell proliferation), most of us have it in varying degrees, however, the body keeps it in check if one takes care of themselves. It doesn't just show up overnight, but can take years to develop and exponentially when it reaches a certain mass, bingo!, it can turn malignant. Usually it's an acidic environment within the body that allows it to grow. An alkaline system will not allow pathogens or carcinogens to live. Eating alkaline-rich foods, drinking plenty of water (1/2 your body weight in ounces), getting 20-30 minutes of sunshine a day, exposing as much skin as possible, preferably around noon, when the beneficial rays are at their highest, and keeping a positive mindset are all helpful. Heard recently that it's actually the bicarbonate of soda solution that chemotherapy is mixed into, that does the 'healing' for those small percentages of cases that are resolved. Bicarbonate of soda is very alkaline, and chemo drugs are very acidic, not that I'm promoting chemotherapy as I consider it the last possible resort. Surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy are the only drugs allowed to be prescribed by allopathic doctors. They don't make any money, which is the bottom line here, by suggesting alternative treatments which are far less expensive and free, like sunshine and exercise, among others. Until people start educating themselves about their bodies, will anything change.

There is something seriously wrong with a paradigm that promotes mutilation and poisoning as "health care"!

Studies have shown that persons who get "traditional" treatment for cancer live no longer than their "untreated" counterparts. They just die of other things.

Pray tell, what is/are glyconutrients? Also, please,. a little more on 'cellular communication.'

When the time comes, she comes. 'Say goodnight, Lucy'. You ain't the first, or the last. Be thankful for the time you had and pass away. No big deal.

The very idea of Chemo-Therapy should disturb us. Basically Chemical Therapy, which may kill you before it kills the cancer. In 1995 I lost a cousin to Chemo-Therapy. She was first suffering from breast cancer, and normal medicine being what it is suggested first surgery, breast removal, then radiation, and chemo. Too much of the body wasted as they filled her body with these deadly chemical combinations, and at the time though not convinced of the miracle of what is called modern medicine I watched as she wasted away.

No attempts at better nutrition, no attempts at removing her from anti-perspirants as they introduce the toxin aluminum directly into the lymph system, no sunshine, fresh air , etc. Then there is the technique of using sulpherated protein, and flax oil, discovered by Dr. Johanna Budwig, which the medical world has for years attempted to cover up because she proved it scienctifically using standard methods. Google Dr. Johanna Budwig, for futher information.

My point is that there is too much money wrapped up in the research, and treatment of cancer to cure it. Same with diabetes, same with AIDS, and many other diseases commonly labeled incurable. America needs to read, and research, and read some more.

Chemo could do may harm than good, close. Chemo does do more harm than good. Been there done that and decided no more. I watch ones diagnosised same kind, same stage, same time get worse and die with "conventional therapy". To my Doc's at Vanderbilt, still here, working, kicking, no progression.

PatriSpain, also look into Dr Bob Beck's treatments.

Reading the responses has been inspiring. There is much we have to learn and/or to trust no traditional solutions. My wife was the primary caretaker for her uncle and then her mother who both passed away from cancer. Both lived more than 18 months longer than the doctors expected. We would have loved to have known about some of the solutions above. My wife increased their blood oxygen levels through daily doses of barley grass. They drank 4 to 6 cups of Eissiac tea daily and ate an alkaline diet. All of this prolonged but did not cure them. Age was perhaps not on their side since they died at ages 87 and 93.

Years ago my daughter did a science fair project testing plant growth with a group of plants given tap water, tap water with Miracle Grow and tap water with food grade hydrogen peroxide. The last group showed significantly greater growth and health. I bring this up because she had a chance to interview one of the original researchers who tested food grade hydrogen peroxide for medical uses. One was cancer since the theory was cancer cannot survive in higher levels of oxygen. At the time the medical community, FDA, and drug companies had shut down and supressed the research.

We have not had need to research this further, but a close friend now has cancer and we are looking for the kinds of information above. Does anyone know about the effectiveness and safety of using food grade hydrogen peroxide for medical uses?

Thanks!

Mercola is almost correct. Glyconutrients is far more powerful than Vitamin D will ever be. Without cellular communication Vitamin D is useless... Mercola refuses to ever comment on this.

Reading some of these posts, particularly those that claim that it is ultimately the patient's choice to succumb to cancer, makes me think that the people who write such things really could educate themselves a bit better. A cancer patient does not need to be reminded of the good things in life and how life is worth it. Putting cancer down to a patient's mind state is simplistic and plain wrong. Whatever triggers cancer, nobody knows as of today; but it is not the patient's state of mind. I have known too many cancer patients who fought the bravest fight and still succumbed.

And to those that claim that diet and lifestyle changes alone can cure cancer, well, hope is free; but evidence does not prove that approach to work. The immense majority of people with cancer end up dying, regardless of their diet and lifestyle, unless they undergo some kind of rigorous intervention--be it surgical, chemical, or radiological.

There is anecdotal evidence of spontaneous healing from cancer (or, to be precise, long-term remission), but no connection has been established between these rare instances and the circumstances of the patient. In other words, those lucky few who beat cancer beat it out of sheer luck or because of something we do not know about yet, not thanks to this or that approach. And not necessarily for having a better diet or mindset than the vast majority who didnt't make it.

A friend of mine had breast cancer and the breast removed. she was due to have chemotherapy when she spoke to me. I asked her to try and boost her immune system with the Transfer Factor + which I happen to distribute and take 12 caps a day. She was advised to have chemo provided her blood count was o.k. 6 weeks after the op. At the end of 6 weeks she had a blood test done and was told that she no longer needed the chemotherapy but for preventative reasons they would suggest radiotherapy. I was thrilled for her that she avoided chemo and would have liked it if she had also avoided the radiotherapy, but, she is fine and carries on taking 2 caps of the TF+ daily. I am a big believer in boosting the immune system on a regular basis. I do the same with my horses and dogs.Ingrid

Have you ever wondered why cancer treatment has not changed much in over 70 years? Why is chemotherapy still the mainstay of conventional cancer treatment after all these years of disappointing results for the majority of cancer cell types. Perhaps we should be exploring alternatives, such as those proposed by Nicholas Gonzalez MD who spoke at the Robert Crayhon Boulderfest conference July 17-20 2008.

Nicholas Gonzalez MD presented his views on the etiology of cancer and cancer treatment. He is actively engaged in medical practice in Manhattan where he treats advanced cancer successfully with high dose oral pancreatic enzymes. This treatment regimen is based on the trophoblastic theory of cancer originally proposed by Scottish embryologist John Beard (1858-1924), and resurrected by William Donald Kelley, DDS .

John Beard (1858-1924), was a Scottish embryologist who used the light microscope to study developmental embryology as well as cancer pathology. In 1905, Beard was the first to report that trophoblast cells act and behave in a manner identical to cancer cells, acting invasively, and inducing their own blood supply.

In the pregnant mammal, trophoblasts are the infiltrative components of the developing embryo which forms the placenta. This invasive, infiltrative behavior is very similar to the way cancer cells infiltrate and invade surrounding tissues. These trophoblast cells are known to produce human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). In fact, production of HCG is the basis for the widely used pregnancy test. If cancer cells and trophoblast cells are similar, one would expect cancer cells to also produce HCG. That is exactly what they do. This was reported in 1995 by Hernan Acevedo, PhD, and published in Cancer. He found that every cancer produces HCG, same as the trophoblast cells of pregnancy.

There are still manypeople with absolutely no faith in non mainstream treatments. Remembering my state of mind when I found my first lump in my breast I would have dared much to feel that I was fighting the grim prospects.

On chemotherapy - it has long been understood that cancer is greedy, and can cause the body to increase blood supply to its location. Also that tumour membranes are much more permeable than normal membranes. So why do scientists not combine their chemo reagents into large molecules that cannot permeate normal membranes?

Surely that would result in less effect on the remainder of the body?

I do believe that fighting cancer naturally is much easier on the body, but I have tried nearly everything I can possibly afford and haven't found any products that stop Her2/neu+++, ER+, PR+ cancer dead in its tracks yet. Her2+++ cancers are brutal. They grow so fast. At this time I am balancing conventional and natural therapies....I would love to hear about an herb or supplemental vitamin that shuts down the overactive Human Epidermal Receptor/2......so far I haven't seen any, or heard testimonials of survivors with this active form of Breast Cancer, with success. But, hey! Maybe someone will chime in here!!!
