To Your Health! Alternative Cancer Treaments

When my late wife Cyndi was diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer, she was too far gone for conventional treatments. Tumors had spread into her spine and brain and the oncologists could not even perform radiation therapy on her. They sent her home under hospice care to die.

I began researching alternative treatments but many of them required travel to alternative cancer treatment centers and we could not afford the travel nor the treatment. I ran across a physician locally who pointed my to a website called Cancer Tutor. There I discovered several treatments that promised results and none were by any means conventional.

The first of two that seemed promising was sodium bicarbonate and maple syrup. An Italian doctor published an article about something called Insulin Potentiation Therapy or ITP. The theory is that when you starve cancer cells of sugar, they are more receptive to the chemotherapy drugs. This has been used with limited success in treating patients who would be otherwise too weak to survive a full dose of  the drugs.

So what if you use a natural alternative to the chemotherapy drug but reduce the sugar intake also? I read about Dr. Tullio Simoncini and sodium bicarbonate on several websites. See: http://www.regenerativenutrition.com/content.asp?id=490 

One method suggests using 1 part Sodium bicarbonate to 3 parts pure maple syrup. With nothing to lose I mixed up and cooked a batch while Cyndi was still in the hospital. I brought it to her in a small medicine bottle and asked her to try it. Besides the fact that she likes it, I noticed that her catheter bag had a white mucus oozing into it. When I asked a nurse about it I was told that it was due to the antibiotics she was being dosed with via IV. But when I came in the next day, I saw bag that contained the antibiotics were gone, but I did bring another batch of the SB/MS and about twenty minutes after ingesting it, the same mucus flowed into the catheter bag.

I also read about oxygen therapies that included pure oxygen, ozone, and hydrogen peroxide. In my previous post To Your Health! Hydrogen Peroxide   I wrote about hydrogen peroxide treatments for infections. 

I didn't get the opportunity to treat her with IV ozone or hydrogen peroxide. By the time I found a physician willing to run an IV, Cyndi passed on.

Instead of being negative and looking to blame the doctors, hospice and hospital, I have chosen to pass this information on so that others may benefit and not suffer the loss I have experienced.

To Your Health! Hydrogen Peroxide

It makes sense that if the government was truly concerned about the well-being of the public, health care costs needs to be secondary to the actual treatments and cures. Since its founding, the American Medical Association has done little to further, in fact, the contrary is obvious since is accomplished for the benefit of patients.

AMA founder and first Director Morris Fishbien, was from the start a man driven by profit and power. While there may me times when a well intentioned few may sit on the AMA board, for the most part of its existence, it has catered to the drug industry as its primary sponsor and contributor.

Modern “medicine” has stood in the path of cures and healing now since the AMA’s founding and its marriage with the pharmaceutical industry. The influence of drugs is evident in how the medical education changed over the last 100 years. Prior to that, flowers, herbs, leaves, roots, etc. were the derivative sources for drugs. Now it is mainly based on toxic chemicals that would be considered poisonous in larger doses, and in many cases they do prove to be, as the number of side effects, usually far outweigh the therapeutic value.

And yet the attack on natural remedies magnifies whenever such a natural treatment is brought to the attention of the media and the masses. Such has been the case with cannabis but what about something completely effective and natural as hydrogen peroxide?

From the Educate Yourself site you will find a great article on the benefits of hydrogen peroxide. But why is it that the bottle available at most chain store pharmacies sell it for less than a dollar while the food grade sells for so much more? A quart in Rite-Aid for example costs about ninety five cents where a pint of food grade costs over twenty dollars? Concentration of  the food grade hydrogen peroxide is much higher. A thirty five percent concentrate for food grade, versus three or four percent for over-the-counter antiseptic. But then the food grade does not contain any addition chemicals necessary as stabilizers since the pure H₂O₂ has no additives one would expect that its price is less.

On a cellular level, H₂O₂ is produced to fight bacteria and other infections. It seems that its oxidizing qualities are beneficial when properly used as an additive with a nutritional diet and good exercise. The latter two are always emphasized when speaking of maintaining good health. So why is H₂O₂ not?

It’s all about profits. Plain and simple it comes down to profits.

Cancer Cure in Cannabis?

So I watched the video and learned a little. The little that I learned was that more and more, the medical benefits of cannabis are becoming apparent to more doctors. But there remains a strong advocacy for government control via FDA approvals.

Tremendous PBS Video Explains Why Medical Cannabis Works — And How Big Pharma Is Planning To Cash In On It

https://www.pbs.org/video/2103797319/#

What I find disturbing is that for decades of prohibition and classification as a controlled substance, big pharma has already acquired patents on synthesized cannabinoids. And government is supporting them in controlling the market.

Marijuana in all its various forms, must be totally legal as alcohol and tobacco are. There is no evidence to indicate cannabis is any more of a health risk than either of the aforementioned popular "drugs" of choice.

Contact your Representative and tell them to bring the Paul-Frank bill of to the floor of the House for public forum discussion and debate. Allow medical experts that have a clinical history with cannabis make their presentations, instead of the lobby for the pharmaceutical companies and the spin of an ill-informed media.

For this story I commend the producers at PBS. It was the right thing to do.
