Hi Sheila,
To start your search, here's the National Cancer Institute's take on Protocel / Entelev / Cancell: http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/pdq/cam/cancell/Patient/page2
Here's some info from Sloan-Kettering: http://www.mskcc.org/mskcc/html/69160.cfm
What's your current treatment? Best of luck!

Hi there,
good move, thenewme! Looking for positive information on any 'gov'-site (or worse, the Sloan Kettering site) about alternative therapies is like asking for an opinion about Personal Computers to a Mac user... They just don't wonna know.
Sheila, if you wonna find out about non-conventional cancer therapies you have to take a real interest yourself and start reading books like 'Outsmart your Cancer - Alternative Non-Toxic Treatments That Work ('includes the definitive information about Protocel a formula countless cancer patients are having success with!'), second edition, by Tanya Harter Pierce, M.A., MFCC.
My girlfriend was diagnosed with malignant breast cancer (two tumors) and was adviced to have a mastectomy, followed by chemo and radiation. We found out, a few hours before the operation, about German New Medicine (GNM) - and later about B17/Amygdalin. She didn't have any conventional treatment (not even drugs), but went along with GNM and B17/Amygdalin and now, 16 months after the mammo (April 2, 2009) she feels better than ever before.
Good luck to you!

Hey Placebo -
If it's so effective, why not submit it to scientific trials and publish the results? Seems to me the manufacturers could recoup the cost of the trials by increasing the price of this wonder drug.
No need to attack thenewme for citing scientific websites. After all, science has taken us a long way. I'll thank you also to hold off on your attacks of 'gov' websites. This is no place for politics or government-bashing.

It isn't "politics" to criticize the government for incomplete, outdated or misleading information. Please don't try to censor people posting here. And, as a reminder, the US prides itself on the ability to criticize its government.

Which information on the referenced site is incomplete, outdated or misleading? I'd like to know.
Thanks.

This is just me, adding this topic to my favorites...

Hi enjoyful,
You ask: "Which information on the referenced site is incomplete, outdated or misleading?"
For instance, on http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/pdq/cam/cancell/Patient/page2 it says:
"The National Cancer Institute (NCI) did animal studies on Cancell in 1978 and 1980 and laboratory studies in 1990 and 1991. Laboratory studies using human tumor cells concluded that Cancell could not be taken in doses high enough to kill cancer cells in the body. The NCI decided that Cancell did not show enough anticancer activity to continue the studies. See the PDQ health professional summary on Cancell/Cantron/Protocel for details on the results of these studies."
On the following site you can find more info on the NCI 'study', and Protocel in general:
http://alternativecancer.us/testr.htm
After reading alot about alternative therapies for cancer, it's clear to me that the FDA is just a watchdog for Big Pharma. They forbit the use of, for instance, 'apricot kernels' (B17/Amygdalin/Laetrile), which are supposed to be toxic, but approve the use of chemo (!) I've been taking atleast 15 apricot kernels per day for more than a year now, and I feel really fine (my girlfriend has malignant breast cancer - detected about 16 months ago - and one of the things she's taking is these same old apricot kernels. She was supposed to have a mastectomy, followed by chemo and radiation, did non of that and still feels very fine too).
So please stop this ignorant way of talking to people who see through the façade of so called 'modern medicine' (what's so modern about pouring poison into already sick people??).
-
"This ignorant way of talking to people who see through the facade..."
There's no need for insults, placebo. And I was unaware that you have a medical degree and have scientifically researched alternative medicines.
For every person who uses alternative medicine and feels fine, there are others who use it and don't feel fine. Myself, for example, and a sister of a dear friend who was absolutely religious with her use of alternative medicines and rejection of "so-called modern medicine." There are similar stories with patients using current protocol (chemo, radiation, etc.). As far as I can tell, neither realm has cured anything, but current protocol seems more effective, at least in my case.
If you can provide scientific studies that prove alternative therapies are more effective, please provide them.

Check the Stage IV forum to see how ineffective conventional therapies have been.
-
mollyann,
I am Stage IV as is the other person I mentioned above.
Edited to add: I am now in remission thanks to conventional therapies.
-
Hi enjoyful,
if I had a medical degree I would have to play along with the other doctors, wouldn't I? Otherwise, they wouldn't be calling me 'colleague' for too long (doctors who don't follow established protocol get outcasted pretty quick).
Providing scientific studies that prove alternative therapies are more effective than conventional ones is simply not done. The medical 'scientific realm' is owned by Big Pharma/AMA/FDA/etc. Of course, statements like this make it easy to call me a dissident (or do I need a medical degree for that too?), a conspiracist or a denialist (or whatever -ist).
Maybe you should also take a look at what 'Pure' has to say about alternative therapies...
God bless.
-
Placebo -
I think you're strong-minded enough to have a medical degree and be a maverick among the sheeple. You should go for it!
I have read Pure's statements and the other alternative/conventional medicine arguments. It's an individual choice and conventional therapies have worked best for me.
Thanks for your input, though.

enjoy,
you're welcome.

Dear Sheila8,
many people think: "if alternative cancer treatments exist, that work, why don't they get approved by the FDA?"
They should take a look at the following clips:

I've read many books about alternative cancer treatments, most of them written by real doctors (who turned away from delivering toxic 'medicine' to already ill people) and they all had similar experiences with the FDA as shown in these videos.
God bless

Let's keep it friendly, girls... fighting this common enemy is more important than which weapons we choose to use!
I did literally LOL at the "asking a Mac person for an opinion about PC's" analogy... so true! And, I didn't see any government-bashing in any post here... it's just the government should stick with what they're good at and steer clear of what they suck at!
I can't speak for Protocel too much but was put off by some of the material I read that if you take Protocel, you can't take flax oil/FOCC, vitamin C, CoQ10, Essiac tea, iodine, and a host of other things. I'm completely sold on at least a couple of the things on the "must not take while you are on Protocel" list, including iodine, so I didn't explore it further. Also, I haven't seen the clinical results with Protocel that exist with iodine and other nutritional therapies, although admittedly I didn't look too hard after reading that I wouldn't be able to take iodine, FOCC etc. with Protocel. Definitely open to hearing more about it, though.

Hi CrunchyPoodleMama,
would you do me a favor and clap in your hands (like when you're applauding). Then tell me if your right hand or left hand is 'on top'. This simple natural test shows if you are really left- or righthanded. In my case, I've always thought I was 100% righthanded, but when I do this 'clap test', it shows that I'm really a lefthanded person. With this information one can determine which side of the brain is more dominant.
Please, humor me. There's a good reason why I'm asking you this.
-
My right hand is on top... although I noticed last time I was at a concert and my husband was sitting to my right, my left hand was on top. FWIW I'm a tricky case re: right vs. left brain (I seemed to be strong in both).
-
Hi CrunchyPoodleMama,
thanks for doing the test. Here's the reason I was asking you about this:
http://www.germannewmedicine.ca/documents/sp-breastcancer.html#Intra-ductal_breast_cancer
Hope there's something in there for you like there was for us. Although my girlfriend had glandular breast cancer - she's right handed and the tumors were in her right breast - she had a very negative expierience at work with a new boss about 8 months before a mammo showed she had breast cancer. This bad situation with her new boss lasted for about 6 months (then she was transferred to another departement and the whole situation kinda resolved itself).
Maybe you think this is all silly, and that's okay too of course.
Best wishes.
-
Placebo, a mammogram showed that your gf has breast cancer? I thought only a biopsy could do that.
I'm glad she feels good. I felt great when I was diagnosed with cancer--my brain didn't even know it was there, and I was healthy as a horse. If her laetrile is helping her feel good, yay!! Any further testing to see if it was resolved the "cancer" or whatever showed up on her mammo?

Hi AnneW,
mammogram (April 2, 2009)/ultrasound/biospy/second opinion at the University Hospital Leuven (June 2009) - plus the fact that her oncologist wanted to perform a mastectomy one week after the results from the formerly mentioned examinations were in. He was going to start chemo and radiation soon after the operation. We have the medical documents about all this, atleast the copies we've received from our doctor (he printed them out straight from his computer, which is connected to some kind of medical 'intranet'). So, we're pretty sure she really had malignant breast cancer...
Regarding 'follow ups', in September 2009 we've had two ultrasounds 3 days apart. The first at the same hospital where the first ultrasound was taken, concluding that the situation was pretty much the same as three months earlier, the one from 3 days later (taken at a radiology center at another town) saying the images from 3 months earlier were nowhere to be found anymore... Then, January 2010, the same doctor at this same radiology center seemed to have changed his mind about all this (probably after a reprimand of the oncologist who wanted to perform the mastectomy 6 months earlier). Now he stated that the 'known tumors were not clearly determinable' and he found a new tumoral process in the right breast. He even mentioned a small cyst in the left breast.
After finishing his examination he told my girlfriend: "there's something there, but then again, you knew this already." When my girlfriend told me about this at home, I phoned him and asked him what he meant by that. He shouted that cancer doesn't go away and that we should seek proper medical care, etc. You have to know that at the first examination (September 2009), we showed him only a small reference note, which said only 'follow up carcinoma' - it didn't mention the fact that we refused conventional therapy, nor did it say anything about the earlier examinations (biopsy, etc.). It was only after he told my girlfriend that everything looked fine, that we showed him the ultrasounds from three months and three days earlier, after which he performed another
ultrasound (he couldn't believe his eyes), but in the end he had to admit that the two tumors were gone (his own words).This doctor even denied he ever made a phone call to our family doctor, telling him to ensure us that we had nothing to worry about - in his first report he did advice us to get a MRI, but this is standard procedure. Oh right, in his second report, besides the bad news, he did mention that the lymph nodes were clear. As if this would make us run back to the hospital, thinking how lucky we were to still have a chance to get out off this situation by means of 'only' mastectomy/chemo and radiation (I mean, he didn't mention the lymph nodes in his first report...).
I hope you can follow this rather confusing chain of events.
Anyway, after this whole charade we've not again been near another doctor or hospital.
-
I think I'd run the other way, too! That's scary as hell.
thanks for taking the time to explain it to me!
Anne

You're very welcome, AnneW. By the way, we didn't use laetrile, but metabolic therapy, based on - and build around - B17 (apricot kernels)/Amygdaline.
Here's some quite interesting clips about this treatment:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ON1CUSJjZL0&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5RW6hHNqkw
This is based on the assumption that cancer is caused by the lack of B17 in the body. There's another theory about the cause for cancer and it's called 'German New Medicine' (GNM). It looks alot more far fetched for most people, because it states that cancer is a way the body deals with biological emergency situations (which trigger certain biological processes in the body, like cell proliferation - these are meant to be temporary processes, but, with humans, these processes can last much longer - compared to other animals - because of the pretty 'unnatural' environment we've created for ourselves, and the way our brain is able to create 'virtual' threats (money=food, for instance).
Anyway, this is all rather complicated at first, so here's a link to a site where you can read more about GNM:
http://www.learninggnm.com/home.html
http://www.learninggnm.com/documents/sp-breastcancer.html
Best wishes.
-
Placebo, thanks for sharing the info about GNM... I will admit that I'm skeptical about it and was curious to know of any controlled studies that give long-term (5-10 years or more) success rates. I combed through that learninggnm.com site and the only study I found was one that looked at 7 patients and they were only diagnosed correctly, not treated/cured.
I can appreciate the theory behind it and agree that cancers can be triggered by a traumatic event, but the specifics of that theory (as I'm reading it on that site) don't seem to have much basis in science.
In my case specifically, according to GNM, my cancer should have developed in my left breast, based on the clap test of handedness and the fact that my emotional trauma was due to the loss of my baby. So in my case it's completely wrong.
Last fall, I found a forum for people who were doing GNM, and I remember one woman being gung-ho about it (although her last post was several years ago), but I remember other heart-breaking posts such as from a woman whose initial stage 1 cancer had metastasized during her years of doing GNM. Her last post said simply, "I no longer believe in GNM or alternative medicine." It was so sad to read that, when she could have been using alternative treatments that worked instead of one that obviously didn't.
Anyway, all that is to say, unless there is solid evidence that this actually WORKS and isn't just an unproven theory about the origin of disease, I can't see entrusting my health to GNM alone. I know we all get a lot of flack on this forum about believing in snake-oil treatments but I think I speak for most of us here in that we want treatments that are proven, and have an acceptable success rate -- whether we're talking about an alternative or conventional treatment.
You mentioned laetrile -- that is one that does have solid evidence behind it (and there is also specific evidence that the FDA lied about the success of animal trials with it). My husband and I both eat apricot kernels and other laetrile-rich foods every day because of the evidence we've read that it works, not because it's a nice-sounding theory. (I personally suspect that the laetrile your girlfriend has been taking could be responsible for her recovery.)
I could be wrong about GNM and may have missed the evidence I'm looking for, so I'm interested to hear if I missed it... in any case I'm definitely glad to hear that it (or something) has been working for your girlfriend!
-
CrunchyPoodleMama, you're very welcome. We found out about GNM the night before my girlfriend had to check into the hospital for a mastectomy. Actually, it was me who stumbled onto a 1 hour video, showing Dr. Hamer talking with Prof. Miklosko, rector of the university of Trnava in Slovakia. The latter confirmed that there had been a scientific verification of GNM at his university on September 11th 1998.
Later on we attended a 7 hour lecture about GNM and went to see some people who told us about their personal experiences with GNM. In the meantime we started taking apricot kernels in combination with pancreatic enzymes, zinc, magnesium, selenium, vitamine C, vitamine D3, etc.
I followed the same diet as my girlfriend, except for the 500mg Amygdalin capsules (she never took laetrile, only the apricot kernels and Amygdalin).In order to study all of this thoroughly I took a few months off from work (my boss didn't like it, but I told him it was simply a matter of priorities). I've watched videos of doctors who worked with GNM, read books about it (also about B17 and many other alternative therapies) and tried to put everything together. I watched debates between conventional doctors and Dr. Hamer (and Helmut Pilhar, who's daughter Olivia was forced to take chemo when the parents wanted to stay with GNM - in one of the videos Pilhar revealed a document which made it clear that the doctor in front of him knew GNM worked, but didn't ever wanted it to be officially tested. You should have seen his face when this document showed up - he was the head of some board of doctors and had circulated this paper to his colleagues).
Then there are the many verifications at different hospitals, etc. and the fact that nobody ever took on the challenge of Dr. Hamer to indeed put his theory to the test (he has been asking this from the start, some 30 years ago). Also, there are other indications for this theory to work, like the fact that 22% of breast cancer disappears if not detected (a study from 2008, which you can find at PubMed and allover the internet) and the observation of many doctors that in many cases of spontaneous regression, the patients had high fever before their cancers started to disappear (see the work of Dr. Coley).
Also the fact that the body treats cancer as a 'guest': the immune system leaves it alone, the body even provides extra blood vessels for the tumors and the cancer cells are not normal cells, but are made easy recognizable for when the moment comes to have them removed (after the conflict is resolved).
About you being righthanded, you said: "My right hand is on top... although I noticed last time I was at a concert and my husband was sitting to my right, my left hand was on top". Maybe you're both right- and lefthanded. Maybe you could post this question at the learninggnm site. Funnily, about the 'clap test' it says there: 'Clap your hands as you would when applauding in a theatre. The hand that is on top is the prominent or leading hand, indicating the person's biological handedness.'
I could go on for hours about all this (and I'm sure you could too), but this should do for now. One thing is sure, if something doesn't feel good, you probably shouldn't go for it.

Hi everyone,
just got a message from Phillip Day, an English PH.D who wrote alot about how conventional medicine calls the shots regarding which treatments are allowed and which are taboo:
"When New Zealand dairy farmer Alan Smith contracted ‘swine flu’ and was admitted into intensive care, his condition deteriorated rapidly, he contracted leukaemia and was placed on life-support. With his lungs unable to operate, and with no hope of their patient making a recovery, it was determined by his doctors that the equipment artificially sustaining Mr Smith’s life should be switched off.
Faced with the appalling prospect of losing a loving father and husband, the Smith family met with the doctors and requested that they give Alan high-dose intravenous vitamin C. The doctors refused, stating that there was no proof vitamin C did anything. The incredible story of what happened next should be broadcast far and wide across the planet to the execrable shame of the medical personnel concerned."Here you can see how arrogant the medical establishment really is:
http://www.3news.co.nz/Living-Proof/tabid/371/articleID/171328/Default.aspx
You can find another link to this video here:
http://adhddrugfreesolutionsblog.com/vitamin-potential-lifesaver
Shocking, isn't it?
Oh, and regarding the use of vitamin C and Protocel, you shouldn't mingle them, because Protocel lowers the energy level of your cells in order to kill the cancer cells. Your healthy cells can do with a little less energy, while cancer cells are very sensitive to this (they already have a lower energy level than healthy cells). Since vitamin C boosts the energy of your cells, this is why the two shouldn't be taken together. It's also the reason why we had to make a choice between Protocel and Metabolic therapy (build around B17/Amygdalin/Vitamin C, etc.) The two bottles of Protocel I've ordered about a year ago (together with some other stuff, like cesium, Paw Paw, etc.) are still laying around somewhere in a closet. Maybe I can put them to use sometime, if I ever meet someone who wants to try the Protocel treatment (just in case somebody might be wondering, I'm not selling Protocel or any other 'products').
-
Hi there,
no more replies since Aug 20, 2010 - strange.
I've just finished watching the docu-movie 'Burzynski', about a doctor who found a treatment for cancer (based on 'antineoplastons') and got harassed by the FDA/NCI/AMA, etc. who wants to throw him in prison. Turns out that the NCI/BigPharma (with the help of the FDA) is after his patented invention.
Very shocking (don't watch it if you believe that the FDA/NCI/AMA/BigPharma has your best interest in mind).
Best wishes.

Hi Sheila... Looks like it started getting out of hand there for a moment... LOL
My name is Kim and I have been on Protocel 23 for 17 months now for ductal carcinoma, ER/PR ++, 2.4 cm tumor removed (lumpectomy) sentinal node removed which was positive 0.5mm. I refused the chemo, rads and hormome therapy. I am doing great, I feel wonderful and other than taking the Protocel every 4 hours have forgotten all about having cancer. I have a breast thermogram done every 3 months and everything looks great. In fact I was so impressed with Thermograms that I opened up a clinic here in Cape Coral, Florida. Business is doing good and I'm getting the word out that YOU DO have options when it comes to Breast Cancer!... So, Just do what feels right for YOU!... Don't listen to anyone else but yourself! Good Luck. email if you have any other questions... lemons2860@aol.com.
-
Dear Kim,
What is the cost of a thermogram? I know many women who are refusing mammograms, and I and all my 5 daughters are 6 of them (one who was dx with TNBC in 2007).! My GYN, knowing I refuse to have a mammogram, just recommended a Thermogram. Of course we know that insurance will not cover these.
-
Nan, my thermograms cost $175 in the metro Atlanta area. Prices here are generally a little higher than most places (aside from NYC and L.A.).
