There’s a relatively recent article that I came across that deals with the trouble that pharmaceutical companies are having.  They are having major problems due to a number of factors.  The former pharmaceutical researcher (Johnathan Bloom, Ph.D.) that wrote this article speaks about the obvious factors that are negatively affecting the pharmaceutical industry.

He covers the phenomenon  of the large number of big money drug patents that are going to expire shortly. Just from expiring patents, he estimates that the Big Pharma industry will lose about $50 billion.

He also speaks on U.S. patent law, which allows a company to have exclusive rights to profits from the drugs that they produce. After taking in to consideration related issues, the effective length of the profit period is about 8 years. After that, generics are produced and the sales of the brand name drug plummet. In fact, he says that most drugs never reach a breakeven, since most of them take about a billion to develop.  In this type of pharmaceutical environment, the blockbuster multi-billion dollar profit drug is a critical element in the pharmaceutical drug paradigm. continue reading…

Although there is a lot of research done on genetic causes of cancer, as well as the identification of risk factors, these do not really identify a solid cause of cancer.  The risk factors for cancer given by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) name a lot of things that are correlated with increased rates of cancer.  But they also say that the majority of people with risk factors are not ever diagnosed with cancer.  So this makes the value of risk factors dubious, at best.

Otto Warburg, a prolific researcher and Nobel Laureate, found that low oxygen levels in cells cause them to become cancerous.  He also discovered that while normal cells function from aerobic (air loving) respiration, cancer cells generate energy from anaerobic respiration.  Some think that cancer is a survival mechanism that allows cells to live in a low oxygen environment. continue reading…

Although many alternative cancer treatment proponents have known this for a long time, it has been shown that raw food diets are beneficial for cancer patients.  These foods are healthy and help the body to build and heal itself.  In addition to this, a diet of raw food excludes foods that are not healthy for the body, and that actually create more problems for a cancer patient.

There are three main elements of a raw food diet that benefit someone with a cancer diagnosis are: continue reading…

Just when you thought they were sleeping, now the FDA is reported to be prohibiting small pharmacies from manufacturing or distributing injectable vitamin C.  This is regardless of the fact that vitamin C is a powerful healing substance that is great for a lot of health conditions.

It is well known in natural health circles that IV vitamin C could almost be termed a ‘miracle cure’ for a wide variety of conditions, especially infections and similar diseases.  I have covered some of these conditions in previous writings.  But for those who don’t know, it is common knowledge that conventional drugs don’t cure viral diseases such as mononucleosis, hepatitis, influenza, shingles, herpes, etc.  In addition to this, there are more and more bacteria that are becoming resistant to antibiotics. continue reading…

This is a testimonial for alternative cancer treatments from an Australian named Paul.  He is 66 years old at the time of the video, and worked as an architect before he was not able to pursue his career anymore.

Paul was diagnosed with a non-Hodgkins lymphoma around 1997.  He said that it was a small cell, low grade, slow-growing type of cancer.  His physicians told him that his cancer would not respond to any forms of radiation or chemotherapy.  This meant that Paul had no choice but to pursue alternative cancer treatment methods.  He reports that he is happy that he did not do any traditional cancer treatment methods (i.e., chemotherapy, radiation or surgery). 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…

There appears to be a promising new method to predict colon cancer, and it actually involves bacteria.  Researchers believe that certain bacteria that live in the intestinal tract may be associated with a person’s risk of developing colon cancer.  The findings imply that the presence of certain bacteria are in higher concentration in people with polyps (early lesions that may develop into cancer), while other bacteria are in higher presence in the absence of polyps. continue reading…

Although this is a complex topic, there are some general considerations that should be discussed.  I have seen the diet recommendations from the American Cancer Society.  Some of it is good information, but a lot of it may be vague and somewhat misleading.  There is no real rationale for the things that they say in their recommendations.  It doesn’t give a patient any sort of framework with which to evaluate information. It looks like the patient will have to do his own research to reach an understanding.

The first thing I noticed when looking through the information is that they did not discuss the relationship between cancer cells and sugar. continue reading…
