There is an Alternative Way
Dr. Psonak at Chelation Medical Center offers an adjunctive or
alternative cancer treatment. He uses high dose Intravenous (IV) vitamin C that has been researched to
be a very effective alternative approach in altering the course of
many cancers. High dose vitamin C IV's are offered along with pH diet
changes and recommended immune targeted supplements. He helps you to decide if you
want to go strictly alternative, or to use the alternative approach
as an adjunct to conventional therapy. Whether you choose to go
completely alternative or use high dose IV Vitamin C with radiation or chemotherapy,
Dr. Psonak will work with you. Cancer research has shown that using the Vitamin C
concurrently with chemotherapy or radiation will not decrease the effectiveness
of these treatments. In addition, high dose intravenous vitamin C is not an anti-oxidant.
It is a pro-oxidant therapy, and seems to augment the effectiveness of chemotherapy or radiation.
Strengthen Your Immune System
Most people have cancer cells in their body several times during
their lives. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard
tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. Your immune
system is normally capable of identifying and destroying cancer
cells. When a doctor tells a
cancer patient that there are no more cancer cells in their body
after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the
cancer cells because they are less than the detectable amount.
When the person's immune system is strong, the cancer cells will be
destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.
However, when the immune system is compromised due to stress, environmental
insults such as chemicals, radiation, heavy metals, inflammation,
etc., the cancer cells may take the opportunity to continue to
thrive. When a person has cancer, the person may have multiple
nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic,
environmental, food and lifestyle factors. To overcome the multiple
nutritional deficiencies, changing diet
and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.
About Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy
Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells,
however, it also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone
marrow, gastrointestinal tract etc., and can cause organ damage to
the liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc. Radiation, while destroying
cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues
and organs. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often
reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and
radiation often does not result in more tumor destruction. When the body
has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and
radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed,
hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and
complications. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and
become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can cause cancer
cells to spread to other sites.
An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells
by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.
Cancer Cells Feed On:
a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one
important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like
NutraSweet, Equal, Splenda, etc. are made with Aspartame which is
harmful. A better natural substitute is Stevia. Table salt has a
chemicals added to make it white in color and to reduce caking. A better alternative is sea
salt.
b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the
gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. Cutting off milk and
substituting with fluids such as pure fresh water, juices, rice milk,
etc. help to starve the cancer cells.
c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. It is important to
follow an Alkaline diet and drink alkaline water. No soda! Supermarket meat contains
livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and possibly parasites, which are all
harmful, especially to people with cancer.
d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains,
seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline
environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans.
Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed
and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and
enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building
healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables
including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a
day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures above 104 degrees F (40
degrees C).
e. Avoid coffee and black tea, which have high caffeine. Green tea
is a better alternative and has cancer fighting properties. Water:
drink purified or filtered alkaline water, to avoid known toxins and heavy
metals in tap water. Distilled water is deficient in essential
nutrients, and reverse osmosis water has an acidic effect on your
body. It's best to avoid it.
Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of
digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines
becomes putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup. Cancer cell walls
have a tough protein covering. By refraining
from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein
walls of cancer cells and aids the body's natural killer cells to
destroy the cancer.
Some supplements build up the immune system. Supplements such
as IP6, Flor-ssence,
Essiac tea, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc. enhance the
bodies own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements
like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell
death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted,
or unneeded cells.
Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive
and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor.
Anger, un-forgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful
and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit.
Learn to relax and enjoy life.
Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment.
Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to
the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to
destroy cancer cells.
Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are
highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your
plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the
plastic. Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at
Cast le Hospital, was on a TV program to explain this health hazard.
He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. We should not
be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This
especially applies to foods that are heated, acid or contain fat.
The combination of fat, high heat, and acidity releases dioxin as
well as other chemicals into the food from plastics and ultimately into the cells
of the body. Instead, we recommend using glass, such as Corning Ware,
Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same
results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners,
instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container
and heated in something else. Paper isn't bad but you don't know
what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning
Ware, etc. Some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the
Styrofoam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the
reasons.
Also, plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed
over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the
high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the
plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel
instead.
