Cancer prevention and treatment support strategies using a natural approach

A number of cancer prevention and treatment support strategies may be considered, which assist in the maintenance of optimal health.

Although cancer touches everybody’s life in one way or another, most of us know very little about the disease and why we treat it the way we do. The link between cancer and diet is just as mysterious as the disease itself. Much research has pointed toward certain foods and nutrients that may help prevent—or conversely, contribute to—certain types of cancer. Other research links cancer directly to parasitic, bacterial and viral activity, to heavy metal toxicity, general toxicity accumulated from our current or past environment, stress and, of course, genetic predisposition.

We work from the premise that it is crucial to work with a health practitioner who does understand this disease, its possible causes, has past and current knowledge on suggested successful treatments support mechanisms, and access to them and has an understanding of the mainstream solutions like chemo and radiation therapies as well.

Complementary support can include different approaches such as intravenous, oxidative and orally administered therapies, chelation therapy and /or ozone saunas for detoxification, energy support, and last but very important, dietary and lifestyle changes.

Intravenous Therapy or IV Therapy, a method of infusing vitamins, minerals, amino acids, chelating agents, and antioxidants directly into the vein, is a quick, efficient, safe, and powerful way of administering vital nutrients into the body.

IV therapy benefits

Gets a high dose of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants directly to the cells
Quickly fixes nutritional deficiencies
Enhances immune response
Increases total body energy
Bypasses intestinal malabsorption
Fights chronic infections like hepatitis, candida, Lyme, etc.
Fights acute infections like flu, mono, etc.

A typical protocol for vitamin C IV

Twice a week first 6 month
Weekly to complete 12 month
Twice a month for year two
Monthly thereafter

This protocol is as used at the Riordan cancer clinic in the US and can be adjusted to individual cases.

Ozone therapy

Ozone therapy relieves pain, kills viruses, and is a powerful detox agent. The list of ozone’s therapeutic applications has grown far beyond the antiseptic properties for which it was first recognized. To date, science has suggested that ozone offers the following therapeutic benefits:

Cancer prevention: stimulates the production of tumor necrosis factor
Improves uptake and utilization of oxygen and activation of oxygen-dependent processes; maximizes oxidative and anti-oxidative processes; upregulates mitochondrial respiration and generates greater cellular energy
Powerful detoxication is a primary function of ozone; removal of toxins (petrochemicals included) that impair cellular respiration, energy production and nutrient absorption; stimulates metabolic processes in the liver and kidneys
Increases efficiency of the body’s antioxidant enzyme system
Immune system modulation; increases the production of white blood cells, interferon, and interleukin-2; activates cellular and humoral immunity, corrects autoimmune processes
Fast-acting anti-inflammatory: oxidizes compounds that drive the inflammatory process, regulates metabolic reactions and improves pH
Analgesia: oxidizes the agents that irritate nerve endings in damaged tissue, thereby mitigating the pain response
Anti-microbial (antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal); kills bacteria by rupturing their cell membranes

Mistletoe IV Therapy as cancer co-therapy

Mistletoe or more specifically European Mistletoe (Viscum album) is a herbal medicine with a long history of use with cancer patients. Mistletoe Therapy (Helixor, Iscador and Viscosan) is an alternative cancer co-management therapy for all types of cancer. It can also be used for precancerous conditions.

Use of these herbs can be traced back to the 1920s with Rudolf Steiner, PhD, founder of the Society for Cancer Research in Arlesheim, Switzerland. Mistletoe is one of the most widely studied complementary and alternative medicine therapies in people with cancer. In Europe, mistletoe extracts are among the most prescribed drugs for patients with cancer. It is mainly given as subcutaneous or intravenous injections but can be also administered orally even though this method is less widely used.

Mistletoe as a homeopathic solution

Homeopathy is a system of medicine based on the Law of Similars, which states that the body can be stimulated to recover by giving patients minuscule doses of something that causes symptoms similar to those they are already experiencing.

Mistletoe is used as a homeopathic remedy to relieve aches and pain and treat high blood pressure, nausea and seizures.

It should be prescribed by a trained and certified homeopath.

Mistletoe extracts have been shown to enforce natural killer cell-mediated tumor cell lysis, reduce the migratory and invasive potential of tumor cells, and stimulate immune system cells both in vitro and in vivo. Three components of mistletoe, namely viscotoxins, polysaccharides, and lectins, may be responsible for these effects. Viscotoxins are small proteins that exhibit cell-killing activity and possible immune system–stimulating activity. Lectins are complex molecules made of both protein and carbohydrates that are capable of binding to the outside of cells (e.g., immune system cells) and inducing biochemical changes in them. In view of mistletoe’s ability to stimulate the immune system, it has been classified as a type of biological response modifier. Biological response modifiers constitute a diverse group of biological molecules that have been used individually, or in combination with other agents, to treat cancer or to lessen the side effects of anticancer drugs. Mistletoe extracts have been demonstrated in preclinical settings to have other mechanisms of action, such as anti-angiogenesis.

Mistletoe grows on several types of trees, and the chemical composition of extracts derived from it depends on the species of the host tree (e.g., apple, elm, oak, pine, poplar, and spruce), the time of year harvested, how the extracts are prepared, and the commercial producer.

Mistletoe extracts are prepared as aqueous solutions or solutions of water and alcohol, and they can be fermented or unfermented. Some extracts are prepared according to homeopathic principles, and others are not. Accordingly, as homeopathic preparations, they are typically not chemically standardized extracts. In addition, the commercial products can be subdivided according to the species of a host tree, which is typically indicated in the product name by a suffix letter. Iscador, a fermented aqueous extract of European Mistletoe that is prepared as a homeopathic drug, is marketed as IscadorM (from apple trees; Malus domestica), IscadorP (from pine trees; Pinus sylvestris), IscadorQu (from oak trees; Quercus robur), and IscadorU (from elm trees; Ulmus minor). Helixor, an unfermented aqueous extract of Viscum album L. that is standardized by its biological effect on human leukemia cells in vitro, is marketed as HelixorA (from spruce trees; Picea abies), HelixorM (from apple trees), and HelixorP (from pine trees; Pinus sylvestris). Eurixor (which is no longer available on the market for sale), an unfermented aqueous extract of Viscum album L. harvested from poplar trees, is reportedly standardized to contain a specific amount of one of the mistletoe’s lectins. Some proponents contend the choice of extract should depend on the type of tumor and the gender of the patient.
