Updates and Information on Cancer

Otto Warburg won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1932 for discovering that cancer occurs in the absence of oxygen and is caused by a lack of free oxygen in the body. Alkaline solutions absorb oxygen. Acids expel oxygen. So?wouldn? acids be good for creating oxygen if they expel it? When the body fluids (except stomach fluids and urine) become acidic, dropping below pH 7, the environment is right for cancer and disease. Calcium supports the body by helping minimize oxygen-robbing acid in body fluids. This increase in calcium allows for more oxygen, making the body healthier and giving it a better defense against possible cancer and other degenerative diseases.

• Cancer is a devastating disease affecting millions of families. We are all very close to cancer.
• An American life is lost to cancer every 45 seconds.
• Cancer now kills more children between the ages three and 14 than any other illness.
• Cancer is responsible for one out of every four deaths in the U.S.A.
• Each year we see about 1.2 million new cases of cancer, with more than 700,000 lives lost.
• Lung cancer has become the leading cancer killer of both men and women (surpassing breast cancer in 1986).
• One out of every two men and one out of every three women will develop some form of cancer during their lifetime.
• One in 11 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime, increasing with age.
• One of America? leading cancer organizations estimates that the lifetime risk of breast cancer in American women is one in nine.
• Statistics show that in the year 1880, when records were first kept, one in 35 people developed cancer in their lifetime. That figure is currently one in every two!

Cancer is now the number one killer in the United States. There is compelling evidence that chemotherapy is ineffective with some forms of cancer, and in many cases destroys the quality of life of the patient. Chemotherapy kills human cells indiscriminately, destroying both healthy as well as cancerous cells. Both radiation and chemotherapy are devastating to your inner terrain and bacterial environment.

The U.S. spends a conservative $1.4 trillion a year on "healthcare," more per capita than any other nation on earth, but the quality of life for the average American stops at age 51. After that, it takes medical intervention to manage symptoms. Could it be different? We think so.

You must take control of your own health!

It is researched and generally accepted in genetics that the genetic code within the DNA of all cells contains the program for how many times that cell can divide and when that cell should die. The process of natural cell death, called apoptosis, has been said to be controlled by the p53 gene which exists in all cells. This gene is the reason we're not all 20 feet tall and weigh one thousand pounds. When the cell's lifespan has been fulfilled, the p53 gene initiates the process that results in the cell's death. However, damage to the DNA of cells, specifically mutation of the p53 gene, can prevent apoptosis and probably result in the uncontrolled division of cells that do not die. Normally, cells divide only when the body needs more cells, but when cells divide when new cells are not needed, excess tissue will form, often in a mass called a tumor.

The p53 gene is also the protector of the DNA, because if harmful mutations do occur, the p53 gene is capable of fixing the situation by initiating apoptosis. But if damage causes the p53 gene itself to become dysfunctional, the cell, unable to die, divides without control, forming tumors and cancer is the likely result. It is now believed that more than 50% of human cancers result specifically from damage to the p53 gene.

Tumors can be either benign or malignant. Malignant tumors are cancerous, and cancer cells can break away from these tumors and invade nearby tissue and also enter the bloodstream and lymphatic system and spread to form new tumors in other parts of the body.

Our so-called "healthcare" in the US is a 1.4 trillion dollar a year industry, with another $34 billion spent on complementary and alternative methods? high percentage of that being spent on cancer research. However, using

conventional methods, the war on cancer is being lost; the successes are mainly due to early detection, not in the treatments. Many people die not from the disease itself but from damage caused by the treatments. What has been needed is a way to destroy cancer cells without the accompanying damage of conventional treatments. And there is hope. The benefits of proper diet, exercise, and supplementation cannot be argued. Also palladium lipoic complex (Poly-MVA) has been discovered, tested, and used, and is showing positive results and great promise.
