The Natural Treatment of Cancer
(and a Discussion of Health Principles)

Opening Words
Welcome to this website on health and the treatment of cancer. This site is designed to provide information that will enable you to create an intelligent and effective health protocol, either to improve your overall health or to treat cancer.
Please note that the information on this page is not intended to replace direct medical guidance but serve as an adjunct to it.
The Primary Approach to Cancer
1) Increase the utilization of oxygen throughout the body. According to Nobel Prize winner, Otto Warburg, the primary cause of cancer is a lack of oxygen on the cellular level. When there is a lack of oxygen it forces the cell to revert to a primitive form of anaerobic energy production, known as fermentation. This causes the cell to lose it's whole-body intelligence and go "rogue," thus becoming cancerous. However, the cancer cell will continue to produce energy through fermentation even in the presence of oxygen. Thus, increasing oxygen utilization is a great way to prevent cancer--and may be decisive in the early stages of cancer--but it may may not be effective if used as a sole strategy in cases of advanced cancer. Additional approaches are needed.
2) Increase the overall health of the body. Simply stated, the healthier a person is--the more efficient his metabolic functioning, the more effective his major organs, the more powerful his immune system--the more power and resources he has to fight off cancer. Primary ways to increase one's health include proper diet and lifestyle, increasing oxygen utilization, reducing inflammation, regulating glucose, supporting the function of major organs, balancing hormones, detoxing, and maintaining optimal pH levels.
3) Cut off all routes through which cancer cells receive fuel for producing energy, which includes the pathways of glucose, glutamine, and fatty acids.
4) Attack cancer cells directly by disrupting their energy-production and their ability to export lactic acid waste (thereby acidifying itself), by inhibiting cancer stem cells and metastasis, thwarting blood-supply production, destroying cancer-promoting parasites, etc. "Attack" agents include pancreatic enzymes, amygdalin, Vitamin C, ellagic acid, CDS (chlorine dioxide solution), fenbendazole, artemisinin, pyrucet, and even supplements like aspirin and niacin.
Cancer Protocols
Curt Michael Graydon
A very good protocol to consider is the one by Curt Michael Graydon. It is well-written and easy to follow. He puts a lot of emphasis on preparing the drugs and supplements to insure high availability. His protocol involves the use of ubinquinol, artemisinin, and repurposed drugs such as fenbendazole and ivermectin. All his protocols can be obtained in pdf format from his Facebook group, Curt Michael Graydon - Artemisinin, Fenbendazole, Cancer/Health Protocols. (Note: Graydon recommends the use of colloidal silver and MSM (sulfur) in his protocol. Be cautious about using these substances for any extended period of time.)
Below is a link to his Facebook Page. Once you get to the page scroll down to the entry that reads “Step by Step Condensed Alternative Cancer Protocols.” Graydon checks the page regularly and answers most questions personally, which is a great plus.

Jane McLelland
The main strategy of Jane McLelland's protocol is to cut off the cancer's fuel supply by blocking the major pathways (or supply routes) of Glucose, Glutamine, and Fatty Acids. Her "Metro Map" provides a list of drugs and natural supplements that can serve to block these three main pathways (along with all the sub-routes within each pathway). The blocking agents she recommends include repurposed prescription drugs, such as those used in the Care Oncology Clinic (COC) Protocol--metformin, doxycycline, menbendazole, and atorvastatin--as well as natural substance such as cucurmin, quercetin, berberine, green tea extract, etc. She also includes strategies for inducing ferroptosis, a type of programmed cell-death based on iron. For more information, see Jane McLelland's book, How to Starve Cancer, and also visit her Facebook group, Jane McLelland Off Label Drugs for Cancer. On her Facebook Page people often post individualized protocols based on her "Metro Map." To see some of these protocols, and perhaps use them as a basis for making your own, see: McLelland Protocols
Ray Peat Forum
The Ray Peat Forum is an excellent resource for getting advice on all health matters and even cancer. If you have a particular ailment, or a particular kind of cancer you'd like to investigate, just enter it into the site's search engine. The entries on the forum often provide scientific studies (which a person must post to back any claim he makes) as well as personal anecdotes of people who are dealing with that particular health issue. (Please be aware that the Forum is based on the work of Ray Peat, so most responses tend to be in line with his overall approach to health--which is quite radical by most standards of natural medicine practices.)
To get some idea about the Forum, below is a search result one would get when entering the term "brain cancer."

Daniel Stanciu
In addition to cutting off cancer supply lines or "starving" cancer cells the energy production capability of the cancer cell, as well as other cancer cell systems, can be targeted. For a complete approach, which incorporates ways to block cancer cell energy production, disrupt cancer supply lines (glucose, glutamine, and fatty acids), and use oxidation and anti-oxidation methods, etc. see Daniel Stanciu's website: CancerTreatmentsResearch.com
(The two charts below are from this website.)
Patrik Schoupal
Patrik Schoupal outlines an interesting "theoretical" protocol that is in line with the metabolic approaches of Jane McLelland and Daniel Stanciu. He incorporates several well-researched protocols into one, overall protocol. You may not want to use his whole protocol but there may be something in there that you are inclined to use. See Alternativnicesta.cz. This site was written in Czech and translated into English by the author.

A pictorial summary of a multi-faceted approach to the treatment of cancer:
Section II:
Some Health and Oxygen-Promoting Strategies
Warburg's thesis is that the primary cause of cancer is a lack of available oxygen at the cellular level; this may come about through mitochondrial dysfunction and/or insufficient oxygen supply. All said, anything that causes a decrease in the cells' ability to utilize oxygen could be considered as a secondary cause of cancer. To understand more about Warburg's thesis, and the primary cause of cancer, see: Warburg
If cancer is caused by a lack of oxygen on the cellular level, one could assume that increasing oxygen utilization could prevent cancer, help treat cancer, and improve one's overall health.
>> More on Oxygenation
Thus, this section addresses various way to increase oxygenation utilization and overall health. It can be used as a cancer-prevention protocol, a health-promoting strategy, or as an oxygen-increasing strategy used in conjunction with more aggressive "cancer-attacking" approaches.
Conditions that Decrease Oxygen Utilization
1. High Cellular Acidity
2. Defective, Weak, or Damaged Cell Membrane
2a. Deactivation of the Primary Oxidative Enzymes
3. Excess Glucose Levels / Insulin-Adrenaline Imbalance
4. Chronic, Low-Level Inflammation
5. Poor Blood Supply and Oxygen Transport
6. Lack of Vital Nutrients / Poor Digestion
7. Toxic Interference / Infection / Candida
8. Poor Organ Function -- Liver, Thyroid, Kidneys, etc.
9. Low Life Frequency
1. High Cellular Acidity
The first thing to address in the healing of cancer and most metabolic diseases is the acid-alkaline balance of the body. In general, most people, and especially people with cancer, are highly acidic oftentimes with a cellular pH between 5.0 and 6.0, which is ten to a hundred times more acidic than normal cells. (The pH of a healthy cell is 7.35.) High cellular acidity deactivates crucial enzymes and depletes cellular activity; and cells that are acidic are not able to take in or utilize oxygen (and various minerals) as effectively as cells that are slightly alkaline. So long as the body is "out of whack" in terms of pH, it must utilize vital resources (and crucial minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium) in order to try and bring back this balance. So, a first course of action, a first way to unburden the body and establish a milieu of healing, is to bring the body into the optimal alkalinity range. There are many ways to accomplish this, including the use of:
a) Alkalizing foods, including asparagus and barley grass juice;
b) Alkalizing calciums, trace minerals, and supportive supplements (such as Vitamin D3 and CoQ10);
c) Alkalizing substances, such as sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), potassium bicarbonate and/or sodium, potassium, and magnesium carbonate;
d) Dex-lactic acid, as found in fermented beverages, such as sauerkraut juice, and certain strains of kefir. Dex-lactic acid (i.e., right-turning lactic acid) neutralizes the lev-lactic acid (i.e., left-turning lactic acid) produced by cancer cells.
e) Pleo-sanuvis (a homeopathic, dex-lactic acid preparation)
► What You Can Do Right Now (While Deciding What to Do)
— Eat more alkaline foods in the form of vegetables, barley grass juice, fermented vegetables, etc. (Drinking one cup of sauerkraut juice per day can be helpful.) Reduce your intake of acid-forming foods such as all forms of wheat (bread, pasta, etc.) and sugar sweeteners (especially products sweetened with high fructose corn syrup); reduce your intake of meat, casein dairy products (such as cheese and milk), and avoid all non-organic dairy products.
— Consume foods high in Vitamin D3, the best of which is grass-fed, grass-finished bef liver and unadulterated cod liver oil. Also, increase Vitamin D through direct exposure to the sun of near-infrared light. Many natural doctors recommend 2000-5000iu of Vitamin D3 per day, but approach with caution as Vitamin D3 is a hormone and not a vitamin.
— Drink dilute lemon water throughout the day. This not only alkalizes the body but also lowers blood-sugar levels.
— Alkalize your body using a simple sodium bicarbonate/potassium bicarbonate protocol. Such a protocol (recommended by “Ted” of Bangkok), is as follows:
Lemon Juice + Baking Soda
1 lemon = 3-4 Tbs of lemon juice (or 1/2 lemon +2 Tbs Apple Cider Vinegar)
1 tsp sodium bicarbonate (baking soda NOT baking powder)
(or, better yet, 1/2 tsp sodium bicarb. + 1/2 tsp potassium bicarb.)
6 oz water (purified, non-chlorinated, non-fluoridated)
Directions: Place the lemon juice (+ACV) in 6 ounces of water. Add the bicarbonate until the fizzing stops. Add more water to equal a cup. Take twice a day on an empty stomach (preferably with the second dose shortly before going to bed.) This is the simple formula. For a broader-acting formula—one that includes iodine, natural vitamin C, fulvic acid, etc.—see the link below:
>> Enhanced Formula
Note: The use of this alkalizing protocol should only be followed if your body is acidic, which is the case in most forms of cancer. However, in some forms of cancer, such as leukemia, your body may be too alkaline. (In the treatment of leukemia, many people have had success by acidfying the blood through the use of HCl injections, or better yet, by using highly-diluted HCl retention enemas.) Therefore, only follow this protocol if your body is acidic. You can determine the acid-alkaline level of your body by testing your urine and saliva with a simple pH test strip that you can obtain at most health stores or order online. (Make sure the pH paper you are using measures between 6.0 and 8.0). If the average pH of your urine and saliva is below 6.4 than your body is acidic (and you may benefit from using an alkalizing protocol).

2. Defective, Weak, or Damaged Cell Membrane
A defective, weak, or poorly-constructed cell membrane causes the cell to have a low di-polar charge (which is the difference in voltage between the nucleus and cell membrane). With a low di-polar charge the cells' ability to attract and draw in oxygen is diminished. A weak or damaged cell membrane also allows toxins to enter the cell (which can disable the cell's oxidative enzymes), allows excess sodium to enter the cells, and causes mitochondria to migrate out of the cell.
The simplest way to correct this problem is to cut down on, or completely eliminate, processed vegetable oils (any oil high in PUFA such as soy, canola, sunflower, safflower, etc.), which are found in chips, baked goods, salad dressing, etc.; and completely avoid rancid, processed, and any form of hydrogenated oil. Cut down on all PUFA oils, including flaxseed oil and fish oil, and completely avoid any kind of fermented fish oil because oil that has gone through that process can become rancid and toxic.
Please note: For years I advocated the cancer protocol put forth by Johanna Budwig--which is based on in intake of large amounts of flaxseed oil and a high-sulfur protein (such as cottage cheese). However, after coming across the research of Ray Peat, who is adamantly against the intake of all PUFA, including flaxseed oil I am not so sure about the long-term effectiveness of the Budwig protocol. Many health professionals recommend Cod Liver Oil (or regular fish oil), because of its anti-inflammatory affect, but that too contains high amounts of PUFA so, if used at all, it must be used in moderation. One cannot completely avoid PUFA but cutting down on it, to under 4 grams a day, is what Ray Peat recommends. In terms of oil/fat intake, he recommends butter, coconut oil, and olive oil. However, many cancer researchers advocate for the use of fish oil and against the use of saturated fats, like coconut oil. A conservative approach then, would be to use fish oil and/or coconut oil in moderation while avoiding all processed oils.
>> Summary of the harmful effects of PUFA
"Cancer can be switched on by eating the wrong oils and switched off by eating the right oils. The improper construction of cell membranes with inappropriate oils is probably the single most important cause of oxygen deficiency and cancer. Processed oils (virtually all the oils you buy in a supermarket) may be the single largest cause of cancer. If you have cancer, you need an oil change." (Never Fear Cancer Again by Raymond Francis)
► What You Can Do Right Now (While Deciding What to Do)
— Eliminate ALL harmful fats and oils. This would include most if not all baked products, "supermarket" vegetable oils, all processed oils found in corn chips, processed foods, mayonnaise (which contains soy oil), humus and commercial dips (especially those that contain canola oil), etc. Use cod liver oil in moderation (if needed.) Oils low PUFA oils are cold-pressed virgin olive oil, coconut oil, butter, and palm oil.

3. Excess Glucose / Insulin-Adrenaline Imbalance
Glucose overload in the bloodstream, and in the cells themselves, feeds cancer and chokes off the oxygen supply of normal cells. This condition leads to a number of serious ills, including chronically high insulin levels, suppressed immunity, inflammation, Candida overgrowth, etc. To effectively deal with cancer, one’s love affair with sugar (glucose/fructose/carbohydrates) must come to an end. In other words, one must drastically reduce all intake of glycemic-boosting sugar. Small amounts of natural sugar can be helpful so long as it does not dysregulate or spike blood sugar levels. Always bear in mind that the primary food supply of cancer cells is sugar, particularly glucose and fructose. Cancer cells thrive on sugar/glucose; as such, they have about fifteen times the number of sugar receptors as normal cells. Cut out sugar and you cut off cancer’s main food supply.
Some "experts" recommend going off carbohydrates altogether and going into a ketosis state, where the body completely switches from a sugar metabolism to a fat metabolism. Other "experts" disagree with this approach because while you starve the cancer of sugar you also starve the body of much-needed sugar. Without some sugar the cancer will turn you into sugar and waste away your body much faster. Also, without sugar the metabolism is likely to slow down, and the body temperature may drop, which is not helpful. So, find some balance, some moderation, when it comes to consuming sweet foods and carbohydrates.
► What You Can Do Right Now
— Cut down on excess sugar and carbs, especially in the form of high fructose corn syrup, white sugar, agave, etc. Reduce carbohydrate consumption in the form of bread, flour, corn, potatoes and high-starch vegetables, GMO soy products, etc. Small amounts of sugar--especially when it acts as a carrier or "Trojan horse" for such agents as sodium bicarbonate or turpentine--is also okay. Certain fruits, such as apples, which contain fiber and pectin, makes for a slow entrance of sugar into the bloodstream and may be okay. Berries, in small portions, are also okay. Fruit juice (such as pear, pineapple, etc.) which lacks fiber, enters the bloodstream too quickly and make spike blood-sugar levels. In cases where your blood sugar drops (below 1.5 brix) small amounts of orange juice may be helpful. While high blood sugar brings about an increase in insulin (which is harmful) and may feed cancer growth, low blood sugar starves the brain of oxygen and is also harmful. Maintaining a urine brix of 1.5 - 2.0 keeps the body in the optimal healing range.
— Eliminate all wheat and all wheat products. Wheat products are especially bad because of their gluten content and also their effect on blood sugar; and non-organic wheat products can be especially bad because most wheat fields are flooded with Roundup (an herbicide containing glyphosate) to increase seed productions shortly before harvesting. This toxin enters the wheat and, when ingested, causes immune problems as well as killing beneficial bacteria in the gut.

For people who have a deep attachment to soft bread or pasta there are gluten-free alternatives. However, simply replacing wheat with another grain is only an interim step: eventually you will have to drastically reduce your intake of all grains, including white and brown rice.

3. Excess Glucose / Insulin-Adrenaline Imbalance
Glucose overload in the bloodstream, and in the cells themselves, feeds cancer and chokes off the oxygen supply of normal cells. This condition leads to a number of serious ills, including chronically high insulin levels, suppressed immunity, inflammation, Candida overgrowth, etc. To effectively deal with cancer, one’s love affair with sugar (glucose/fructose/carbohydrates) must come to an end. In other words, one must drastically reduce all intake of glycemic-boosting sugar. Small amounts of natural sugar can be helpful so long as it does not dysregulate or spike blood sugar levels. Always bear in mind that the primary food supply of cancer cells is sugar, particularly glucose and fructose. Cancer cells thrive on sugar/glucose; as such, they have about fifteen times the number of sugar receptors as normal cells. Cut out sugar and you cut off cancer’s main food supply.
Some "experts" recommend going off carbohydrates altogether and going into a ketosis state, where the body completely switches from a sugar metabolism to a fat metabolism. Other "experts" disagree with this approach because while you starve the cancer of sugar you also starve the body of much-needed sugar. Without some sugar the cancer will turn you into sugar and waste away your body much faster. Also, without sugar the metabolism is likely to slow down, and the body temperature may drop, which is not helpful. So, find some balance, some moderation, when it comes to consuming sweet foods and carbohydrates.
► What You Can Do Right Now
— Cut down on excess sugar and carbs, especially in the form of high fructose corn syrup, white sugar, agave, etc. Reduce carbohydrate consumption in the form of bread, flour, corn, potatoes and high-starch vegetables, GMO soy products, etc. Small amounts of sugar--especially when it acts as a carrier or "Trojan horse" for such agents as sodium bicarbonate or turpentine--is also okay. Certain fruits, such as apples, which contain fiber and pectin, makes for a slow entrance of sugar into the bloodstream and may be okay. Berries, in small portions, are also okay. Fruit juice (such as pear, pineapple, etc.) which lacks fiber, enters the bloodstream too quickly and make spike blood-sugar levels. In cases where your blood sugar drops (below 1.5 brix) small amounts of orange juice may be helpful. While high blood sugar brings about an increase in insulin (which is harmful) and may feed cancer growth, low blood sugar starves the brain of oxygen and is also harmful. Maintaining a urine brix of 1.5 - 2.0 keeps the body in the optimal healing range.
— Eliminate all wheat and all wheat products. Wheat products are especially bad because of their gluten content and also their effect on blood sugar; and non-organic wheat products can be especially bad because most wheat fields are flooded with Roundup (an herbicide containing glyphosate) to increase seed productions shortly before harvesting. This toxin enters the wheat and, when ingested, causes immune problems as well as killing beneficial bacteria in the gut.

4. Chronic, Low-Level Inflammation
Chronic inflammation (not local inflammation or a local inflammatory response) creates an ideal milieu for cancer cells to prosper because inflammation, and particularly inflammatory fluid, serves to block off the immune system and protect cancer cells from attack. A lot of the "cancer cures" promoted on Internet group--such as CBD (cannabis) oil, turmeric, and baking soda--have power in "curing cancer" not only because they act on the cancer directly but perhaps more powerfully because they reduce chronic inflammation and allow the body to take care of the cancer on it's own.
Reducing chronic inflammation, and especially its root cause, is critically important in restoring the overall health of the body and dealing with cancer. Not only does long-term chronic inflammation protect cancer cells, it depletes the body of critical nutrients, strains the immune system, and stagnates the blood--all of which decreases oxygen potential and thwarts the body's critical defense systems. The main offender of arterial inflammation (and increased cholesterol) is excess fructose, along with processed vegetable oils, and other irritants such as wheat, corn, soy, and processed dairy products. Experimental mRNA "vaccines" have been shown to cause micro-clotting and arterial scaring. Best to take the side of caution and avoid all such medical interventions at this point.

— Reduce dairy products. A major cause of inflammation is homogenized dairy products and allergic reaction to casein (which is difficult for humans to digest); a major cause of acidity is pasteurized milk.

5. Poor Blood Supply and Oxygen Transport
Cells become more oxygen-deprived when the blood lacks the ability to carry its full measure of oxygen. This cardiovascular impairment can be due to many factors such as weak or anemic blood, dysregulated blood-sugar levels (where the level is too high and there is too much insulin present, or where it is too low), constricted blood flow, high viscosity blood (due to inflammation, mold, toxicity, chronic dehydration, low zeta potential, allergic reactions to such things as gluten or lectins, etc.), poor arterial lining, etc. Increasing blood flow, and the integrity of the circulatory system is critical in supplying cells with proper amounts of oxygen and nutrients.
► What You Can Do Right Now
— The best agent for increasing blood flowability is potassium citrate, found in lemon water. Drinking dilute lemon water throughout the day is the preferred method for increasing blood flowability. Use of aspirin, 325mg (1/2 pill in the morning and 1/2 pill in the evening) or one pill twice a day can also be quite beneficial.
Note: A preferred method for increasing blood flowability, and zeta potential, is the use of 1.5 grams of potassium citrate per day, taken in small amounts in water throughout the day. However, citrate (in the form of potassium citrate, magnesium citrate, calcum citrate, etc.) can be problematic as it is likely to have a negative effect on bioavailable copper.
>> Increasing Zeta Potential and blood flow
— Supplement with Proteolytic (Protein-Digesting) Enzymes:
Serrapeptase (60,000 spu 2x/day)
Bromelain (1200 gdu/ 2x/day)
Nattokinase, 3,000-6,000 fu/day) (optional)
Note: Begin with a lower dose of enzymes and work up to avoid cleansing reactions. The dosage listed above will effectively clear out the circulatory system, digest stagnant proteins, and begin to digest fibrin biofilms but it is not potent enough to “attack” cancer cells. (Much higher doses, as well as additional proteolytic enzymes, such as amylase, trypsin, and chymotrypsin, may be needed for that.) Biofilms contain a lot of toxins, including heavy metals, so if you feel "goopy," or get a headache after taking high doses of proteolytic enzymes cut down on the dosage and/or follow up, one hour after taking the enzymes, with something to clean up the waste, such as activated charcoal.
You might also consider supplementing with low doses of pancreatic enzymes (to clean up toxins and support the pancreas) as opposed to therapeutic or "cancer-killing" doses. The best pancreatic enzyme formula I know of is the one formulated by Dr. Kelley, called PEP. (http://www.drkelleyenzymes.com) Therapeutic doses require taking up to 30 capsules a day (on an empty stomach so that the enzymes don't get used up digesting food). For maintenance, pancreatic support, and general "clean up" take 2-3 capsules, on an empty stomach, 3x/day. (Be forewarned, these enzymes are expensive: 360 capsules costs around $235.00)

6. Lack of Vital Nutrients
Nutrients are needed for the proper functioning of all cells, oxygen transport and utilization, as well as the production of respiratory enzymes. Therefore, unhealthy eating invariable leads to poor health and decreased oxygen utilization at the cellular level. However, even if a person eats the best of foods, including organic foods, it may not be enough to supply a person with all the nutrients he needs, especially if one has poor digestion (and it not able to extract sufficient minerals and nutrients from food.) Poor soil quality (for both organic and non-organic foods) also contributes to overall mineral lack. In this day and age it is essential get the help of full-scale vitamin and mineral supplements, and add nutrient-rich foods to your diet, such as bee pollen, brewer's yeast, grass-fed liver, and grass juice powders.
In general, DO NOT take megadoses of any single nutrient or vitamin without expert guidance and mineral/blood testing. Your safest bet, in all circumstances, is to take natural, full-scale, food-based nutrition. This would include Bee Pollen, Brewer's Yeast, Nutritional Yeast, and grass-fed beef liver--for vitamin A, vitamin D, and B vitamins; Unadulterated cod liver oil (Rositas); full-scale trace minerals (from dried sea beds in Utah), CMC (Coloidal Mineral Complex), etc.

7. Toxic Interference / Mold / Candida
Harmful to every organ, and especially harmful to the endocrine system, are heavy metal toxins, such as nickel, mercury, cadmium, and lead. Other harmful toxins include mold, parasites, Candida overgrowth, and systemic bacterial infection, all of these can wreak havoc on the immune system and completely deplete the body of its resources (as well as tax the systems of elimination with waste and stagnate the blood.) So, for any kind of healing to take place it is vital to relief your body of these toxic burdens. Removing heavy metals through regular use of a sauna and various chelating agents can be helpful. Especially toxic is mercury (coming from dental amalgams and other sources); a full protocol must be used to remove it safely (AFTER all dental amalgams are responsibly removed.) Taking mercury chelators, such as lipoic acid, without incorporation in a full program can be detrimental. Selenium can be particularly useful. Taking cilantro and chlorella can also be problematic as they tend to release bound mercury but not bind to is sufficiently in order to remove it from the body.
More radical thinkers have proposed that fungus (and/or parasites) IS cancer. I take this to mean that fungi (and/or parasites) are always involved in the formation of cancer. Recall Warburg's thesis on the primary cause of cancer: "By a primary cause of a disease I mean one that is found in every case of the disease." "Summarized in a few words, the primary cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by a fermentation of sugar." Hence, it could be that fungi/parasites are involved with every case of cancer and, therefore, could be considered a primary cause. However, it could be that a cancer cells can only form (by replacing the respiration of oxygen with fermentation) with the assistance of a fungus (and/or parasite). Hence, if no fungus is present then the cancer cell cannot produce energy and would simply die.
Thus, according to this line of reasoning, if the fungus and/or parasites are eradicated then the cancerous cells--which are wholly dependent on the presence of a fungus and/or parasite to produce their power through fermentation--would die as well.
There are two approaches with respect to fungi/parasites:
a) remove mold, parasites, toxins, etc. from the body in order to improve one's health, relieve the body of this excess waste-producing burden, and help it fight cancer; and
b) eradicate fungus and parasites so as to destroy the cancer itself.

8. Poor Organ Function
Integral to good health, and in support of any cancer protocol, are properly functioning organs, especially the liver, thyroid, and kidneys. All organs are vital but these three organs must be especially cared for with diligence.
Liver
Dr. William Kelley, one of the foremost cancer pioneers, who developed the enzymatic treatment of cancer, was especially keen on supporting the liver. He recommended that people with cancer consume raw liver. Other health experts also recommend consuming liver, preferably raw, on a regular basis. Not only does eating liver support the liver it supplies and abundance of Vitamin A, Vitamin B, iron, and copper. Preferably the liver is grass-fed, grass-finished. When eating raw liver it is recommended that it be kept frozen for 21 days beforehand to kill off any microbes. Raw liver can be made into a tasty pate. However, if eating raw liver is not feasible, it can be lightly cooked and retain most of the benefits.
I recall the first time I attempted to follow Dr. Kelley's recommendation to eat raw liver. My thought was that it would be somewhat palatable if I added the raw liver to a "green" shake and blended it all up, and then strained out all the fibrous stuff from the liver. Wrong. Some people just hold their nose and eat a few cubes of frozen, raw liver. Luckily there is a way to prepare raw liver (or cooked liver if you must) that tastes good.The general recommendation is to eat about 6-10 ounces per week though, in some cases, it might be helpful to take more. People who are not able to eat liver, raw or cooked, often find it helpful to take desiccated liver tablets, especially if it is from grass-fed cows, such as produced by Ancestral Supplements.
> How to Prepare Good-Tasting Liver Pate (Raw or Cooked)
Thyroid
Special care must be taken with regards to the thyroid. The simplest way to to determine the condition of your thyroid is to take your basal body temperature first thing in the morning, a test developed by Broda O. Barnes. If it is anywhere below 98.2 F you can suspect an underactive thyroid, a condition known as hypothyroidism. Various thyroid tests, administered under the care of a qualified doctor (such as total and free T3, T4, TSH, and antithyroid antibodies, anti-TPO, and antithyroglobulin) would be needed before prescribing thyroid supplementation. Also, you would be advised to do personal research into hypothyroidism and its treatment. A good place to start (but possibly overwhelming due to the abundance of information) is the the Ray Peat Forum. If you look hard enough, you can find basic protocols plus supplements for improving thyroid function. Next look at Dr. Izabella Wentz's website (thyroidpharmacist.com). Then the Stop The Thyroid Madness website. Books such as Solved: The Riddle of Illness by Langer and Scheer, and Stop the Thyroid Madness by Janie Bowthorpe may be helpful.
The preferred treatment for hypothyroidism is often the intake of 1-3 grains of natural desiccated thyroid (NDT), which contains naturally-occurring T3, and T4. Brands seems to vary a great deal in effectiveness with Armour brand, from the US (which can only be obtained with a prescription) and Thyroid-s brand, from Thailand, which can be ordered without a prescription. If your body temperature is low, and your TSH is "normal" you may have a liver issue and a problem converting T4 to T3. Also note, that if you are not eating (and assimilating) enough calories and protein your body may slow things down (and lower your temperature) as a way to protect itself. The remedy, then, would be to increase protein and calorie intake. Best to avoid PUFA and other foods that lower thyroid activity. ... The best course of action if you suspect you are suffering from hypothyroidism (based on low body temperature) is to find a qualified functional doctor or a competent endocrinologist. (Since this is unlikely, you may have to resort to doing your own research, starting with the Ray Peat material, and then come up with your own game plan.) Restoring thyroid function and/or supplementing with needed thyroid hormones (in the form of NDT), which then brings body temperature to an optimal level, is often a critical factor in the treatment of disease and in restoring good health.
Kidneys
The kidneys (along with the liver) are responsible for filtering out the toxins created by the tumor mass (in its normal, toxic functioning) and also the toxins created from various treatments designed to destroy the tumor mass, such as proteolytic enzymes. Thus kidney function must be maintained and/or restored. Several things hamper the kidney and its proper functioning such as over-exposure to toxins, diabetes and/or high blood-sugar levels, too much table salt, to many minerals, too little water, and even too much water. The urine electro-conductivity (EC) should be checked with an EC meter throughout the day. The EC level should always be below 10,000. The sugar level of the urine, or brix, should also be checked regularly with an ideal level at 1.5-2.0. Special care must be taken (especially at night) to keep the brix level between 1.5-2.0. To accomplish this you may have to eat high fiber foods (vegetables), avoid high-sugar, high starch foods, avoid overeating, and consume sufficient amounts of water. Figuring out the right kinds of food, in the right amount, to keep the urine brix at an optimal level takes a bit of practice.
Drinking lemon juice, in small amounts, throughout the day, can be especially helpful to the kidneys. Urine fasting (either for an extended period or just for a few hours in the morning) can also be helpful in restoring kidney integrity and function.

Luckily there is a way to prepare raw liver (or cooked liver if you must) that tastes good.The general recommendation is to eat about 6-10 ounces per week though, in some cases, it might be helpful to take more. People who are not able to eat liver, raw or cooked, often find it helpful to take desiccated liver tablets, especially if it is from grass-fed cows, such as produced by Ancestral Supplements.

Thyroid
Special care must be taken with regards to the thyroid. The simplest way to to determine the condition of your thyroid is to take your basal body temperature first thing in the morning, a test developed by Broda O. Barnes. If it is anywhere below 98.2 F you can suspect an underactive thyroid, a condition known as hypothyroidism. Various thyroid tests, administered under the care of a qualified doctor (such as total and free T3, T4, TSH, and antithyroid antibodies, anti-TPO, and antithyroglobulin) would be needed before prescribing thyroid supplementation. Also, you would be advised to do personal research into hypothyroidism and its treatment. A good place to start (but possibly overwhelming due to the abundance of information) is the the Ray Peat Forum. If you look hard enough, you can find basic protocols plus supplements for improving thyroid function. Next look at Dr. Izabella Wentz's website (thyroidpharmacist.com). Then the Stop The Thyroid Madness website. Books such as Solved: The Riddle of Illness by Langer and Scheer, and Stop the Thyroid Madness by Janie Bowthorpe may be helpful.
The preferred treatment for hypothyroidism is often the intake of 1-3 grains of natural desiccated thyroid (NDT), which contains naturally-occurring T3, and T4. Brands seems to vary a great deal in effectiveness with Armour brand, from the US (which can only be obtained with a prescription) and Thyroid-s brand, from Thailand, which can be ordered without a prescription. If your body temperature is low, and your TSH is "normal" you may have a liver issue and a problem converting T4 to T3. Also note, that if you are not eating (and assimilating) enough calories and protein your body may slow things down (and lower your temperature) as a way to protect itself. The remedy, then, would be to increase protein and calorie intake. Best to avoid PUFA and other foods that lower thyroid activity. ... The best course of action if you suspect you are suffering from hypothyroidism (based on low body temperature) is to find a qualified functional doctor or a competent endocrinologist. (Since this is unlikely, you may have to resort to doing your own research, starting with the Ray Peat material, and then come up with your own game plan.) Restoring thyroid function and/or supplementing with needed thyroid hormones (in the form of NDT), which then brings body temperature to an optimal level, is often a critical factor in the treatment of disease and in restoring good health.
Kidneys
The kidneys (along with the liver) are responsible for filtering out the toxins created by the tumor mass (in its normal, toxic functioning) and also the toxins created from various treatments designed to destroy the tumor mass, such as proteolytic enzymes. Thus kidney function must be maintained and/or restored. Several things hamper the kidney and its proper functioning such as over-exposure to toxins, diabetes and/or high blood-sugar levels, too much table salt, to many minerals, too little water, and even too much water. The urine electro-conductivity (EC) should be checked with an EC meter throughout the day. The EC level should always be below 10,000. The sugar level of the urine, or brix, should also be checked regularly with an ideal level at 1.5-2.0. Special care must be taken (especially at night) to keep the brix level between 1.5-2.0. To accomplish this you may have to eat high fiber foods (vegetables), avoid high-sugar, high starch foods, avoid overeating, and consume sufficient amounts of water. Figuring out the right kinds of food, in the right amount, to keep the urine brix at an optimal level takes a bit of practice.
Drinking lemon juice, in small amounts, throughout the day, can be especially helpful to the kidneys. Urine fasting (either for an extended period or just for a few hours in the morning) can also be helpful in restoring kidney integrity and function.

9. Low Frequency
The body can be seen as electro-magnetic system; and to insure proper functioning (as well as good health and well-being) one’s cells must operate within an optimal frequency range. The optimal frequency (or vibration rate) of the human body is around 62-78 Mhz. Any deviation out of that range weakens the body and moves one toward disease. According to some accounts, colds and flu can take hold when the body is between 57-60 Mhz; candida can take hold when the body drops below 55 Mhz; and cancer can begin to form when the body operates at a frequency rate of 42 Mhz or lower.) Therefore, raising the overall frequency of the body (or maintaining it at an optimal level) is crucial in terms of one’s overall health and well-being, and one’s recovery from disease.
Poor health, poor environmental conditions (caused by mold, electromagnetic pollution, toxic relationships, etc.), dead and devitalized food, toxic medical treatments, and negative emotions all lower the vibration of the body; whereas good health, good environmental conditions, healthy food, and positive emotions all raise or maintain the body at an optimal frequency level. That is why, in this healing journey, a positive attitude and the loving support of others are so crucial—they help raise one’s overall body frequency. Likewise, a negative attitude and negative or “low-vibration” emotions—such as fear, hopelessness, isolation, victimization, and the sense of being cut off from the flow of life and love—are harmful and self-defeating because they lower the overall body frequency.
Raising your frequency can be accomplished by the intake of certain “super-foods” (such as bee pollen) and the use of essential oils but the best approach is to shift the whole of your life—which includes the foods you eat and drink, your environment, the company you keep, and your emotional health and connection with others—toward an optimal vibration. Most people cannot actually measure their vibration rate—and even if they could, this would not be useful. Put in simple terms, this is about moving the whole of your life toward Life, toward being more alive, toward healthy and natural foods, toward pure water, toward connection with others, toward joy and love. The healthier you are, the more balanced you are, the happier and more alive you are, the higher your vibration and the more easily you can move toward greater health and healing.
Many cancer protocols have effectiveness not because of some identifiable, anti-cancer agent but because they help raise the frequency of the body. The use of essential oils, organic and raw food, pure water, and certain herbs may have health-promoting or anti-cancer properties but oftentimes the real potency of these protocols is in their ability to raise body frequency. “Superfoods” like bee pollen, and pure chlorophyll foods, along with exposure to direct sunlight, all raise the vibration of one’s body as well. In addition, a higher vibration of the mind or heart, which can come through love, connection to others, a positive attitude, creative expression, etc., connects a person to the vibration of Life and increases one’s health and well-being.
Contrary to this, one reason why toxic medical treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation, are ineffective is because they lower the frequency of the body.
“Dead” or low-vibration food is food that has been stripped of most if not all of its vibration or life-giving energy. Thus, when you eat “dead” food, with little or no-vibration, your must raise the vibration of that “food,” through its own power, before that food can be utilized. Thus, over time, the eating of “dead” or no-vibration food strips the body of power and moves the entire body toward a lower, disease vibration. Many people say that cooked food is “dead” or “low frequency” but this is not necessarily the case. Properly cooked food may have a slightly lower frequency than raw food but it will require less energy to digest and may, in the end, provide more available nutrients. So, there is a trade off. (Bear in mind, however, that “cooked” food and “nuked” food are two different things: anything that comes out of a microwave oven, which has been “nuked,” is pretty much no-vibration or “dead” and destructive to one’s overall health.)
► What You Can Do Right Now
— Move your diet toward “high-vibration,” pure, non-corrupted foods, which are in their natural state (while avoiding all “Frankenfoods”)
— Drink pure water (and other liquids)
— Keep your outer environment toxic-free and unpolluted
— Keep a positive attitude and keep the company of positive, supportive people

Tertiary Causes of Disease
Tertiary causes are those that bring about or sustain secondary causes. These include:
A Weak or Compromised Immune System
Negative Psychological States, such as fear, depression, and hopelessness, lower the cellular voltage of every cell in the body and thwarts the cells’ ability to attract oxygen and regenerate. Unresolved emotions, mostly stemming from early childhood, can derail or even block body-based treatments. Stress, anger.
Anything that is harmful to the body or brings about poor health. This could include poor sleeping habits, chronic dehydration, consumption of GMO foods, overeating, emotional disturbances, exposure to electro-magnetic currents, exposure to toxins, use of prescription and recreational drugs, smoking, etc. A Poor Diet (one that is filled with empty, processed foods and lacking in vital nutrients). This does not allow the body to produce healthy nor replace unhealthy cells.
Poor Liver Function / Poor Pancreatic Function
Endocrine Imbalance
Low body temperature and hypothyroidism. (Seek Guidance. Do not self-medicate). For an under-active thyroid some people find the use of Natural Desiccated Thyroid (NDT) in the amount of 1/2 grain 2x/day, helpful.
A tumor mass, which uses up large amounts of glucose (thus depriving the body of this vital fuel) and produces a burdensome amount of toxic lev-lactic acid, which the body has to neutralize through the use of its own alkaline reserves.

Additional Protocols
There are also many contributing factors that lead to systemic weakness and make the cells more vulnerable to diseased conditions. These include: a) Poor overall health, and a lack of minerals, b) Poor digestion, weak or sluggish liver, backed-up colon, adrenal exhaustion, hypothyroidism, weak immune system, etc., c) negative psychological states, such as fear, depression, isolation, hopelessness, confusion, apathy, etc., d) compromised or overly-burdened immune system, e) sluggish liver, and f) insulin resistance / metabolic syndrome.
Restore optimal function to the stomach, liver, colon.
It's important to support the liver so that fats can be digested and utilized. This can be accomplished by taking a) beet juice powder, b) lemon + water, c) alpha-lipoic acid, and d) herbs such as dandelion and milk thistle. Cleanse colon (and re-establish healthy bacteria) as part of overall liver detox. Take full-scale priobiotics.
An anti-candida protocol, which may include the use of iodine, colloidal silver (in an ionic form), turpentine, and high doses of cellulase (combined with a low-carb diet), may also be helpful.
Detox
It's important to remove accumulated toxins through various detox methods including chelation, sauna, colonics (if need be) oil pulling, regular intake of lemon juice, activated charcoal (or bentonite clay), etc.
Note that cilantro and chlorella are NOT RECOMMENDED if you have any mercury toxicity---and, likely, everyone has mercury toxicity. You must have all amalgam fillings removed by a bio-sensitive dentist, and engage in a mercury detox program, which is a long, slow process. Best way to determine mercury load is to take a hair mineral test. You can order one, without a doctor, for about $100.
Enhance Mental and Spiritual Well-Being
Remove deep-seated subconscious blocks
Align with the positive flow of Life
Align one’s heart and spirit with Universal Spirit
Cancer is a "low-energy" condition. Anything that lowers a person's overall energy and connection with life---such as fear, stress, depression, loneliness, anger, poor health, psychological isolation, etc.---inclines someone toward the "low-life" condition of cancer. Anything that increases one's aliveness, joy, and sense of well-being inclines someone toward a "high-energy," "high-life" condition---one in which cancer cannot survive. Thus, adopting a positive, fearless, life-aligned position with regards to your own health and healing is of paramount importance.
