I couldn’t contain myself after going to a blog that discusses cancer treatments. They were essentially talking negatively about homeopathic treatments for cancer in this blog post.  I found it interesting.  I am not sure about the effectiveness of homeopathy treatments for any disease.  Personally, I haven’t seen or found any evidence for the effectiveness of homeopathy.  It seemed to me to be an easy target for derision.  I noticed that they didn’t choose to discuss any more efficacious treatments, such as Laetrile/B-17, Hoxsey’s formula, Essiac, etc.

So I went ahead and posted my own comments on the topic.  I think it was a board that will probably be adverse to my comments and views, but I went ahead and posted it anyway.  I’ll just post here what I said and let you check it out: continue reading…

This sounds like a promising drug, but it is basically a pharmaceutical drug that is attempting to replicate the action of many cheaper, more effective, less toxic natural substances.

This drug, called Ipilimumab, is a drug that is alleged to cause the body’s immune system to fight the cancer instead of using the traditional strategy of using chemotherapy or radiation to directly kill cancer cells.  Unfortunately, this strategy also kills and damages normal body cells, and leads to severely debilitating side effects. continue reading…

Award-winning Professor of Medicine, Dr. Samuel Epstein speaks out on the truth about the American Cancer Society (ACS).  This video is about 5 minutes.

He starts by talking about how laden women’s cosmetics and many widely-used skin care products are full of carcinogenic chemicals that are readily absorbed through the skin. continue reading…

The American Medical Association (AMA), the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the American Cancer Society (ACS), and especially the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) all serve to ensure that the profits that corporations earn from the cancer industry are protected from any cures or safe, effective treatments that may happen to crop up.  Big Pharma is big business, and the people and organizations that make money from this arrangement vigorously protect this system.  This 5 minute video will concisely and accurately describe how this works.

Laetrile (apricot pits), Dr. Stanley Burzynski (antineoplastons), and other alternative cancer treatments are targeted for attack and suppression by the Medical Establishment. continue reading…

There are a lot of positives related to alternative cancer treatments.  We know that they tend to be less toxic, can be more effective than conventional cancer treatments, work with the body’s systems, preserve and/or strengthen the immune system, as well as many other benefits.  As positive as the people who support alternative cancer treatment methods, there are still some problems and pitfalls that cancer patients should be aware of in regards to this very important topic.  It is very critical that we maintain an attitude of objectivity, and that we do not fall into the trap of thinking of non-mainstream treatments as being a panacea for cancer treatment.

Some of the problems are: continue reading…

Colorectal cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in the United States, and is the third most common cancer related disease.  It is estimated for 2010 that 102,900 new cases of colon cancer, and 39,370 new cases of rectal cancer will be diagnosed.  It is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths.  It is important to recognize the symptoms of this disease, and to understand that the risk of being diagnosed with it increase dramatically after a person reaches 50 years of age.

Cancer is known to be uncontrolled growth of bodily cells.  Metastasis is when the cancer cells originate in one part of the body, and then migrate to other areas of the body and set up other secondary tumors in these locations. continue reading…

Dr. McLaughlin summarizes the clinical results of the cancer research performed with the use of Paw Paw substances.

The clinical studies were done on breast cancer, prostate cancer, lymphoma non-Hodgkin’s, stage 4 lung cancer and melanoma. The results were very good, very promising.  It appeared that most cancer patients were using Paw Paw in conjunction with conventional cancer treatments. continue reading…

Dr. McLaughlin discussed the scientific findings of his studies on Paw Paw compounds.  He also summarizes the effects and method of action of the acetogenins.

There are over 100 scientific papers on the chemistry and biological effects of Paw Paw. It was also found that the Zebra Swallowtail butterfly eats the leaves of the Paw Paw plant.  That butterfly is an obligate parasite of the plant. It constitutes a defense mechanism for the butterfly because birds that eat them become nauseous and vomit. continue reading…

Dr. McLaughlin discusses more of his cancer research that demonstrates that Paw Paw chemicals are very cytotoxic to tumor cells, but are not very toxic to normal cells.  He also compares Paw Paw acetogenins with the popular chemotherapy drugs Taxol® and cisplatin.

Dr. McLaughlin says that his research has shown that Paw Paw chemicals are extremely toxic to Multi Drug Resistant (MDR) tumor cells. continue reading…

This is a very fascinating video.  Dr. McLaughlin discusses the mechanism of action of the Paw Paw plant chemicals (acetogenins).

The Paw Paw plant chemicals work by inhibiting mitochondria, the energy-producing organelle in cells.  The acetogenins prevent cancer cells from producing energy aerobically (in the presence of oxygen), and also anaerobically (in the absence of oxygen). continue reading…
