Novel Integrative Therapy for Cancer
We have described a novel integrative therapy that works by correcting several recently identified critical nutrient deficiencies in cases of cancer. These deficiencies have been found to increase the incidence of a variety of cancers and can be corrected. Included are deficiencies of plant phenolics, the vitamin B complex, iodine, lipids and a group of minerals the deficiency of which reproduce the effects of radiation or chemical damage to DNA, leading to immune suppression and altered cellular proliferation.
Because these nutritional deficiencies can initiate carcinogenesis and tumorigenesis, their correction is essential to reversing the disease. These findings also support the proposition that cancer is a systemic disease, and not confined to the tumor.
Three Tiers of Therapy
Our integrative therapy has three tiers:
1. Correct Nutrient Deficiencies
The identified critical nutrient deficiencies must be corrected so that the body has the resources necessary to reverse the conditions that lead to DNA dysfunction and immune suppression, the hallmarks of cancer. Inadequate nutrient uptake may be due to poor nutrition, stressful lifestyles that reduce the nutrient processing capacity of the gut, or a combination of both.
2. Reduce Unhealthful Electromagnetic Radiation
The second tier is based on the recognition that electromagnetic (EM) interferences in our living environment can negatively influence physiological processes and predispose us to illness. We are working on a device to capture these primarily low frequency EM radiations and relieve the patient from the effects of these harmful energies.
3. Stress Reduction and Nutrition
The third tier of our therapy involves taking steps to improve personal nutrition and reduce daily stress to prevent cancer from recurring. This is an important, healthy change in one’s life.
Dietary Factors
Our research has identified several critical nutrients, the deficiencies of which lead to an increased incidence of a variety of cancers. These nutrients (which have also been found to be deficient in cancer cells) include plant phenolics and the vitamin B complex, with folate and vitamin B 12 being the most important.
Minerals
In addition, minerals including iron, zinc, selenium, magnesium and potassium are critical to proper DNA function. Iodine is another essential mineral; iodine deficiency, which is common in many parts of the US and countries around the world, is found to be a more effective tumor promoter than carcinogenic chemicals in scientific studies. In addition, a widespread deficiency of essential lipids must also be corrected.
Cleansing
Cancer patients, being immune-compromised, frequently develop opportunistic bacterial and parasitic infections in the gut and urinary tract. Therefore, the digestive and excretory system must be cleansed in cancer patients. This can be accomplished using method proven by thousands of years of medical practice.
MSQ Supplement
Based on the knowledge developed by A-D Research Foundation, a unique dietary strategy was formulated for cancer patients. It incorporates a supplement called MSQ comprising:
Sugar cane molasses (a source of plant phenolic compounds)
Majority of the vitamin B complex,
Iron
Zinc
Selenium
Magnesium
Potassium
Essential unsaturated lipids
Rose petal extract (historically proven source of essential lipids)
Folate and vitamin B 12 (to maintain DNA integrity and function)
Molecular iodine (optimal form of iodine for the body)
Oral sulfur
Apple cider vinegar
Alkalinization and detoxification
The disinfecting effects of oral sulfur and apple cider vinegar in the gut and the urinary system help restore digestive and excretory functions, a cornerstone of early medical practice.
Stress Reduction
Prolonged stress is a primary factor causing suppression of the immune system. Research shows that emotional stress impairs the immune system and makes people more prone to cancer. It has also been determined that long-term stress sets in motion a series of reactions that inhibit proper nutritional absorption by the body. As dysfunction sets in, the body becomes at increasing risk for disease, with more and more difficulty restoring the immune system to a good preventative status.
As most current treatment modalities are designed to treat only symptoms, the underlying problem of a dysfunctional immune system remains. To stay healthy in the long run requires learning stress reduction techniques in addition to proper nutrition.
