Research: Some Cancer Diagnoses Kill Quicker than the Cancer

Fear kills faster than the world’s most dreaded disease.

A cancer diagnosis may be the most traumatic thing that can befall a patient within the contemporary medical system; that is, beyond the conventional cancer treatments themselves, many of which have life-threatening and even lethal side effects.

New research now indicates that a cancer diagnosis may be as fatal as the cancer itself, dramatically increasing the risk of suicide and heart-related death in the week following diagnosis.

Published in the New England Journal of Medicine this month, researchers looked at data on more than 6 million Swedes aged 30 and older between 1991-2006 using the country’s health registries in order to determine how the psychological toll of cancer diagnosis impacts the risk for death. After analyzing over 500,000 people who were diagnosed with cancer during that period, the risk of suicide was found to be up to 16 times higher and the risk of heart-related death 26.9 times higher during the first week following diagnosis versus those who were cancer free.

Why has there been no “cure” for cancer?

Thirty years ago, I knew an oncologist (cancer doctor) who was researching cancer cures.  We were walking on the beach on the first warm day in spring – hundreds of others were also doing the same – and I asked him to tell me about his project.  What he told me reminded me of books I’d read: “Laetrile, Nature’s Answer to Cancer” and “World without Cancer”. Laetrile is also known as Vitamin B17 (bee.seventeen).

That’s wonderful!” I said, “you are going to find it!”

“How do you know?” he asked.

“Because that’s Laetrile,” I responded.

He stopped dead and stood like a stone statue while people walked by us.  He stared silently into space.  He seemed to be in a trance.  I could not get his attention. Finally, he spoke in a very quiet voice.  “They’ll destroy me…” he said.

I asked “Who? Who will destroy you?”  It took him several minutes to answer.

“The AMA… The AMA will destroy me,” … and he repeated that several times. For those who do not know, the AMA is the American Medical Association. The AMA is the “labor union” that rules doctors and medical practices in the USA. It guarantees doctors the highest of wages – as long as they follow strict orders. Apparently, finding a cure for cancer is forbidden – especially when it involves confirming German doctors’ findings.

To top it off, on the walk back to my apartment, Mr.Doctor told me that he had been on the committee at the National Institutes of Health, responsible for testing Laetrile.  The test?  Only this:

The head of the committee had walked in the door all those years ago, while the doctor-scientists on the task force sat around a big table. He licked his finger and put it into a small bowl of Laetrile powder in the middle of the table, tasted it and spat it out.

“That’s CYANIDE!” he yelled.

THE END.

That was it! No research. No tests were performed. No clinical trials. Laetrile was simply outlawed.  No questions allowed.

My friend knew the vicious politics of medicine and science.  His own research stopped dead in its tracks.  He changed specialties.  Ironically, my friend had been unknowingly reinventing the wheel. When he found out, he was concerned for himself and his career – not for the millions of people who died of cancer each year.

If he had felt safe to announce his findings to the world, there would no longer be a cancer epidemic. If the pharmaceutical and medical industries sincerely valued life over profits and wanted to prevent and cure cancer, they could.  My mother would still be alive.

Did anyone you know die of cancer in those intervening approximately 40 years?

The pharmaceutical industry would like you to avoid seeds, nuts and beans, dark green leafy greens, etc, because if you don’t get a little bit of “nature’s answer to cancer”, you will be a great source of revenue for them.

The cancer epidemic still rages in the US because we eat sweet, salty, sour, but avoid the bitter flavor.  And when we do eat something bitter – chocolate or coffee, for instance – we smother its goodness with sugar and dairy – the two foods consumed most highly in countries that are highest in breast cancer.

I learned from those two books to eat my apple seeds, lemon seeds, grapefruit seeds.  And it appears that once I’ve had enough, I simply no longer eat them.  Haven’t overdosed yet. The body is wise..

Read those books.

When you eat an apple, eat the seeds. It might be the seeds in the apple that keep the doctor away.

Prevent cancer

Don’t wait until you get cancer and try to heal from it, for once you have it, you have a long way to go to reverse it. Instead, prevent cancer now. You can wait until you get scurvy to eat your citrus fruits, or you can have a little citrus each cay and prevent scurvy.

Cancer is caused by a vitamin B17, aka “laetrile” deficiency. Do your research and you will find that every effective cancer remedy has a bitter flavor. Apricot kernels are VERY bitter, but the good news is that laetrile is in every seed, nut and green – not just apricot kernels… and seeds, nuts, beans, grains and greens can be quite tasty. In Europe they make a brew called Swedish Bitters that they take daily as a health tonic. It is made primarily of dark, green, leafy, bitter herbs. You can buy it in the USA, or something similar.

I read the book “Laetrile, Nature’s Answer to Cancer” when I was young and since then, I’ve always chewed the seeds of my apples, pears, lemons, etc. I love to chew on fruit seeds; eating a piece of fruit seems incomplete without the seeds. I have learned to enjoy the tiny bite of the bitter flavor.

We have a cancer epidemic in the United States and the standard American diet focuses primarily on the sweet, sour and salty flavors. Raw seeds, nuts and greens are often missing in most American’s diets. We don’t need much bitter, but we do need a little.

Which do Doctors Fear Most? Cancer, a Cancer Cure, or the AMA?

I once knew a doctor who was an oncologist (cancer specialist), a professor and a researcher. We were walking on the beach in San Francisco and I asked him to tell me about his cancer research.

“Wonderful!” I said, “You will find it!”

How did I know that, he asked me.

“Because it’s laetrile,” I said.

He stopped in midstride and stared into the sky. He was speechless for several minutes.  Then, his eyes still wide, he said slowly, ‘They’ll destroy me!’

I asked him several times “Who? Who will destroy you?’

And when he finally answered, he said, “The AMA… The American Medical Association will destroy me.”

This man also tested garlic at my request and found it too kills cancer cells. But soon after our talk, he changed fields and went into a whole new line of medicine, became quite successful in that field. His name was still on the list of scientists at the A brilliant man who recognized the politics involved.

Full disclosure: I have a dog in this fight.

My mother had one round of chemo, then a second round “just in case”. The second round weakened her heart to the point of death (a small-print but not insignificant side effect). I wished my friend had gone through with his research.

As a grand finale to our talk, my friend explained that he had been on the committee at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that had outlawed laetrile. He said the head of the committee came into the room where everyone was seated around a table, put his finger in the dish of laetrile in the center of the table, lifted it to his mouth, tasted it and spit it out.

“Cyanide!” he said. And that was it. No discussion, no testing. Just unanimous consensus due to his little bit of drama. Nature makes cyanide, indeed. It is in all seeds and nuts and greens and everything that is bitter.

Nature’s cyanide doesn’t poison, but keeps cell division in check. Tests for cancer and for pregnancy both test for that same substance. The Doctors Krebs explained that our bodies need the bitter flavor and yet most americans avoid bitters. Is cancer a “bitter flavor deficiency” disease?

A popular product in Europe is “Swedish Bitters”. What I have noticed is that all cancer “cures” are based on a bitter herb. Since I read Laetrile: Nature’s Answer to Cancer, I have eaten lots of apple seeds & lemon seeds. I eat lots of salads with greens & herbs from my garden. And I always put garlic in the salad dressing.

Bodies are simple machines. Cars need certain kinds of gasoline and oils and other fluids. Bodies work very well on simple ingredients. They are detrimentally challenged by modern “foods” and drugs.

Our place in nature

This is one of my favorite books. From 1980, but as relevant now as it was then.

Thomas A. Edison

Author’s Preface to the book Sunlight

At one time or another on the road of life, all of us have arrived at a crossroads in our thinking. Practicing medicine has brought me there, perhaps an illness will place you there too.

As I have seen the options, we may, on the one hand, choose to respect and appreciate nature. We may see within her a wisdom and intelligence that far surpasses man’s greatest technological achievements. We may come to realize that man’s best interest is served through obedience and conformity to nature and that sound health is the result of this obedience.

On the other hand, we may choose to believe that we can improve upon nature, that we can manipulate her to our own benefit. We may believe that we are responsible for nothing but our own pleasure, that we may freely violate and disregard natural law and then artificially manipulate the deleterious consequences. We may believe we can eat poorly, sleep rarely, work constantly, exercise sparingly and avoid any physical consequence by the use of some wonder drug or miraculous surgery. It is evident that this is the road most of us choose, for during the 1900’s the volume of drug business in the United States has increased by a factor of 100. It is estimated that 20,000 tons of aspirin are consumed per year, or 225 tablets per person. Not only is the drug industry booming, but also, as everyone already knows, there has been a tremendous increase in health care costs. To live indiscriminately and pay the price later is easier – for the moment. Maybe that’s really why we choose it. It requires no discipline and no sacrifice. It conforms to our cultural pleasures.

ln my medical practice, I see many whom no drug or surgery will restore to health. The hoped-for escape becomes only a means to muffle the most noxious complaints or a method to prolong a dying existence. For all advances in science, we still remain humbly, pitifully dependent upon the forces of nature: air, water, food, and sunlight. It seems in fact, the more advanced our technology becomes, the more capable we are of destroying ourselves – not only by a nuclear holocaust, but also by more insidious inroads into our health such as the tremendous change that has taken place in the area of food technology. Death has always been easily within man’s grasp, while life and health remain the property of nature and her forces. Out of this conviction, this book has been written. I believe there is ample evidence in the scientific literature that sunlight, free of technological distortions, is not only beneficial, but necessary for human health.

Sunlight Holds Key to Killing Breast Cancer

You have been told that sunlight causes cancer. Now they say that the Vitamin D from sunlight is vital to life and that it is the free radicals from sun lotions and sunscreen that cause cancer. I say, sunshine in moderation – which means enjoy the sun but be careful not to burn. I use nature’s offering to skin health: aloe vera – with no additives.

A new study finds vitamin D — the ‘sunlight vitamin’ — strikes to the very heart of breast cancer malignancy.

Breast cancer is not what most people think. Beneath the intimidating statistics that make it seem like a juggernaut of inevitability or a time bomb of genetic determinism ready to go off in the asymptomatic breasts of millions of women, a far more complex conversation is occurring among clinicians and researchers concerning the true nature and causes of cancer, and why conventional therapies fail to turn the tide against the second highest cause of death in the Western world.  To fully appreciate this, one must go to the first hand research itself.

For instance, a new study published in The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology identifies [1] an overlooked root cause of breast cancer (cancer stem cells), as well as a natural intervention that has yet to be incorporated into the conventional standard of cancer care.

Titled, “Vitamin D compounds reduce mammosphere formation and decrease expression of putative stem cell markers in breast cancer,” the new study brings to the forefront the role of breast cancer stem cells (BSCs) in breast tumor formation and their progression towards malignancy and treatment resistance. For many decades it was assumed that cancer results from DNA-damaged cells succumbing to fundamentally chaotic processes, ‘going rogue’ and reproducing clonally (making identical copies of one another), without an acknowledgment of the different types of cells that comprise tumors. The most salient difference is between the cancer stem cells (sometimes referred to as ‘mother’ cells) which are capable of theoretically infinite self-renewal and produce all the differentiated ‘daughter’ cells in a tumor colony, which themselves are not capable of living indefinitely. It is actually the existence of the much smaller number of cancer stem cells which causes cancer recurrence, as they are not only resistant to conventional chemotherapy and radiation, but their numbers can actually be increased (enriched) by these two ‘therapies.’ Therefore, any cancer therapy that ignores the cancer stem cell subpopulation in favor of killing the non-tumorigenic daughter cells in order to ‘debulk’ the tumor (i.e. shrink it), will not result in destroying the root of the cancer. To the contrary, it can generate the illusion of ‘remission’ while in fact making the remaining tumor colony far more malignant, setting up the conditions for aggressive recurrence years later…

Research: Pineapple Enzyme Kills Cancer without Killing You

Could an extract of pineapple fruit be both safer and more effective than a blockbuster chemotherapy agent?

Pineapple

Every once in a while a study pops up on the National Library of Medicines bibliographic citation database known as MEDLINE that not only confirms the therapeutic relevance of natural substances in cancer treatment, but blows the conventional approach out of the water. Published in 2007 in the journal Planta Medica, researchers found that an enzyme extracted from pineapple stems known as bromelain was superior to the chemo-agent 5-fluorauracil in treating cancer in the animal model. The researchers stated:”This antitumoral effect [bromelain] was superior to that of 5-FU [5-fluorouracil], whose survival index was approximately 263%, relative to the untreated control.”

Patricia’s helpful hints:

Pineapple is a VERY powerful food. it contains many enzymes that aid digestion of every type of food… and apparently cancer cells too! Pineapples are worth their weight in gold. I used to buy them by the case.

Let your pineapple ripen to the point that you can smell its sweet aroma on the bottom end and can easily pluck out leaves from the top. I was fortunate enough to have known an Indian man who showed me how to peel and cut a pineapple. He peeled it and lost very little of the pulp or juice.

It’s best not mix pineapple with meals. Eat/drink pineapple for breakfast and wait 3 hours before you eat anything else… or eat it all day long (you will love the way you look and feel after a 3-day pineapple feast)… but do not mix it with meals or eat it soon after you have eaten a meal. The cleansing action will give you a tummy ache if your stomach is full.

Kiwi and strawberries have similar enzymes and activities in the body. Fresh, raw, organic fruits are dynamite in the health department.

I like to cut a pineapple in half lengthwise and cut out a bite at a time. I eat even the core. It requires a fork and knife – and then a spoon to scoop out the rest.

DO NOT EAT the prickley little “stingers” that extend through the skin; they are intended to keep bugs out and they are very irritating to the mouth. But if you find little black seeds inside, enjoy them as you would any seed. Pineapple seeds are very strong medicine.

Blend the pulp to drink it – but don’t include the skin. Coconut milk is one of the few things you can combine with pineapple. Fresh pineapple juice plus sweet young Thai coconut meat and milk make a heavenly drink. A virgin pinacolada – VERY nurturing, nutritious and healing.

Some say that even canned pineapple is helpful. Once I was shopping in a small Texas college town and the only pineapple available was in a can. I intended to buy a can of pineapple in its own juices but when I got it home, opened it and dipped my fork in, my body rejected it, Each time i tried to eat a bite of it, I gagged. I became curious and looked at the label – I had accidentally picked up a can that was packed in sugar syrup. Bodies are so smart. My body knew it wanted pineapple, but not processed sugar. It’s not nice to try to fool Mother Nature.

Pineapple juice not from concentrate is good… but avoid the reconstituted juice. Fresh, raw, ripe and organic is always best. Pineapple makes a great breakfast!

Once you’ve eaten a pineapple, you can plant the top in soil and it will grow a new plant. I’ve never tried planting the seeds, but if you have, or if you do, please let me know how it works out!
