Effects of Pomegranate Juice On Prostate Cancer

Although the survival rate of five years for men with prostate cancer has increased from 67% in the 1970s to 90% in recent years, prostate cancer is still the United State’s most common cancer, aside from skin cancer, and the second leading cause of cancer-related death in men. 

The primary method of management for this disease is either radical surgery or radiation therapy. In this study, researchers sought to determine whether pomegranate juice consumption would have an effect on PSA (prostate-specific antigen) progression in patients who have undergone primary management to cure the disease, as those patients who have had primary management to cure the disease and no documented evidence of metastatic disease have limited treatment options.

The pomegranate fruit, which has been used for centuries for its medicinal purposes, shows potent antioxidant and anti-artherosclerotic properties which are accredited to its high content of polyphenols. 

To study the possible effects of pomegranate juice, researchers conducted a 2-year clinical trial at the Clark Urologic Center, David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California in Los Angeles. 

Those patients who were eligible has a detectable PSA between 0.2 and 5 ng/mL, no hormonal therapy before entering the study, no evidence of metastatic disease, and a Gleason score less than or equal to seven. 

The Gleason test is used to grade the severity of prostate cancer based on the five patterns that prostate tumor cells go through as they change from normal cells. PSA, which is an antigen in the blood that is measured to track the progression of prostate cancer, usually signifies presence or growth of cancer when it is elevated. 

The time that is required for the PSA to double demonstrates the rate of growth of the cancer. So in general, PSA rises slowly as it matches the fact that prostate cancer is a slow-growing cancer. 

In this study, each patient had a minimum of three pretreatment PSA values measured over a minimum of six months before they entered the study. Each patient was treated with eight ounces of pomegranate juice, by mouth, daily until the disease progressed. 

The patients showed a fifteen percent reduction in resistance of their serum samples, a twelve percent decrease in cell proliferation, a seventeen percent increase in apoptosis reduction in oxidative state, and a twenty-three percent increase in serum nitric oxide was also reported. 

No serious side-effects were reported and the treatment was well tolerated by its patients. The researches concluded that this study showed significant results that pomegranate juice had many positive effects on those men dealing with prostate cancer. 

However, the researchers feel that further research is needed to prove the validity of the tests. The results are being further tested in another study which began in April of 2006. 

The ability of pomegranate juices doses to produce predefined alteration in PSA kinetics is being compared to the change observed in the control group in this new study.

The results demonstrated from this study are positive and there will be further research into other plant polyphenols which could possibly mediate similar effects. So don’t forget to have your pomegranate or herbal tea high in polyphenols.

Apricot Seeds Can Save Your Life

By Jonathan Bell

Apricot seeds are, like most nuts and seeds, very nutritious. Apricot seeds were used to treat tumors as early as AD 502. Apricot seeds are taken by many people as a cancer treatment as they contain high doses of Vitamin B17, an immune system enhancer. Apricot seeds are an essential source of cyanogenic glycosides and laetrile that is considered to be a sort of treatment or cancer.

Cancer

Cancer has now surpassed heart disease for the first time as the top killer of Americans under age 85. Cancer is now expected to strike 1 in 2 men and over 1 in 3 women around the world in their lifetimes.

Cancer occurs only as a result of a direct deficiency of Laetrile and those so-called carcinogens really just contribute to cancer by placing further stress on the body that precipitates the Cancers that result from Laetrile deficiency.

Cancer cells all have the exact same characteristics. Cancer, by definition, is a Chronic Metabolic disease and must be treated as such.

Cancer is a systemic failure of the immune system and cellular communication. Cancer patients who have responded favorably to laetrile do not relapse when they are maintained on laetrile therapy.

Seeds

Many of the world's top scientists claim that when consumed, Apricot Seeds would make it 100% impossible to develop cancer.

Special ingredients in Raw Apricot Seeds have been proven for decades to kill existing cancer cells in most cases. Fresh apricot seeds are a lovely, cinnamon colour. Blanched apricot seeds are not suitable as a nutritional supplement.

If you're a regular user of apricot seeds, you know the difference. When apricot seeds are blanched they are boiled at high temperature, which results in a skinless, pale coloured kernel. Blanched apricot seeds therefore have little value as a nutritional supplement. Raw Apricot Seeds also contain vitamin B15, which get more oxygen to the tissue.

B17

B17 still continues to save his life every day. Apricot kernels are a source of vitamin B17. Dr Ernst Krebs was the first to identify vitamin B17 and to investigate its properties in 1952.

Apricot seeds are taken by many people as a cancer treatment as they contain high doses of Vitamin B17, an immune system enhancer. Stores do not sell "raw" apricot seeds because of the raids the FDA made on those stores with vitamin B17 and the apricot seeds years ago. Finding the right provider to buy your Vitamin B17 is very important.

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy has never been shown to have curative effects for cancer. Chemotherapy does not eliminate breast, colon or lung cancers.

Chemotherapy and radiation have long been known to damage the fertility of patients, but little is known about more targeted drugs such as Gleevec, known generically as imatinib.

Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy.

Apricot seeds are subject to seasonal availability. Apricot seeds have the highest content of B-17 on earth. Apricot seeds assist your body to cure cancer with protein digesting enzymes supplied by the pancreas.

Apricot seeds are the spear and bulls-eye that I deal with and have seen thousands of people get better and live many times longer than they would have than if they went to chemo and/or radiation.

Quickest, Easiest, Cheapest Cancer Treatment Ever Bicarbonate

Author: Robert Rowen, Md

This May Be the Quickest, Easiest, Cheapest, and Most Effective Cancer Treatment Ever!

I've treated many cases of cancer going against the standard slash, burn, and cut mantra of the medical establishment.

And I've seen some great success. But no injection therapy I've ever used took my breath away for its ease of use and effectiveness. That is until I saw the treatment I'm going to tell you about this month!

In fact, this remedy is so inexpensive that you probably have some sitting in your refrigerator right now. You've probably baked with it. The raw material costs mere pennies. It's exceedingly safe. Its beauty lies in its simplicity. And it may be the greatest discovery for cancer treatment, EVER.

This astounding cancer treatment is nothing more than sodium bicarbonate. You know it as baking soda. And I am excited to be the first to bring you news of this stunning breakthrough.

I know it sounds unbelievable. I'm sure you're sitting there saying, Baking soda cures cancer? Dr. Rowen's lost his mind.

Well, give me a chance to turn you into a believer.

Dr. Tullio Simoncini is an Italian physician who was the first to discover bicarbonate's ability to cure cancer. I recently met Dr. Simoncini at a seminar in Florida. I was so impressed that when I heard he was coming back to teach in Dallas, I had to see him again.

However, before you can understand Dr. Simoncini's work, you need a little background. Dr. Simoncini's work is based on the groundbreaking work of several pioneers in alternative medicine. Back in the 1930s, for instance, Weston Price, DDS traveled the world studying health and nutrition in various people groups.

Dr. Price studied dwindling aboriginal cultures as they still existed at the time. He detailed their amazing health and why they were far healthier than people in our own culture. Price found tribes where reaching 100 was commonplace.

Men were still tending their fields and chasing women decades younger. Physical degeneration was rare. There were few if any dental cavities or decay. Dental arches were nearly perfect, no need for orthodonture.

People were healthy right up until the time of their death. Then they would fall asleep and simply not wake up. What a great way to go. Our big killers, cancer and heart disease were largely unknown.

The common link among all the indigenous people was their diet.

The various peoples were not eating the same foods. They couldn't, separated by vast differences in climates, altitudes, etc. Some had lots of meat, some had almost none. But there was a commonality.

The soils of their fields were rich in minerals, often from glacial silt runoff. The plants likewise were loaded with minerals. The peoples ate what grew around them, when in season, organic and fresh.

Price returned to some of these cultures years later. Indeed the physical health had deteriorated in many. Children had rotting teeth, their arches became malformed with crowding teeth.

The formerly robust physical bodies of adults were now riddled with the same degenerative diseases we experience. Price observed the clear reason they were now eating processed foods from the West.

What happened to our food that so destroyed our bodies? In the 1930s and 40s government actions paved the way for big business agriculture. In the 40s the government started analyzing our crops and soils for minerals.

In the ensuing 70 years or so, as Agribusiness took over, the mineral content of our soil has plummeted over 80%. This plunge is reflected in known mineral content of our foods, both organic and non-organic. Our produce is woefully lacking in the minerals once rich in our diet and necessary for health.

Let me give you an example of how this shift in our soil's mineral content significantly affects our health. Back in the 1940s, a medical pioneer, Max Gerson, MD was curing cancer.

His cure? Diet, and diet alone. He used fresh living foods and juices, organic and fresh. His cure rate was about 30-35%, light years better than any conventional method of today.

Strangely, those of us following him have not been able to reproduce his success. That confused many of my colleagues into wondering about Gerson altogether. Well, there's a simple explanation. It all revolves around acid-base and minerals.

Minerals in solution are positively charged. In fact, all minerals in our cells are positively charged. But what happens when we don't have enough minerals?

Dr. John Apsley, executive director of the Immunogenic Research Foundation, Inc., has the answer. His answer also explains why Gerson's therapy doesn't work nearly as well anymore.

Dr. Apsley said, We are living in different nutritional times. We now are so depleted in cations (positively charged minerals) that our cells, desperate to stay alive, will grab onto anything positively charged.

With no or few minerals, the only thing they can resort to is positively charged hydrogen ions (which are nothing more than acid ions) or positively charged chemical toxins.

Gerson Therapy worked because his patients were not nearly as far-gone nutritionally as we are. A fruit and vegetable-rich diet was able to replace needed cation minerals successfully in a third of his patients.

Apsley said that a light went on in his brain when learning of Dr. Simoncini's successes. He said that injecting bicarbonate into the cancer site does something that diet alone can't do.

The bicarbonate literally sucks out the acid hydrogen ions, from the deepest regions of your cells. This allows nutritional minerals to replace the semi-toxic acid. This recharges your cellular defenses.

The patients of Gerson's day ate foods that were far richer in minerals in those years. Gerson's juicing program gave the cancer patients high concentrations of the most absorbable form of minerals fresh juice. Minerals were in their natural plant-made colloid state, as prepared for us by God. Gerson's patients were not nearly so mineral depleted as we are now.

They also were not as acid. So, he could cure many cancer patients with diet alone.

Baking soda is alkaline. It is also negatively charged. So it helps reduce your acid state. But it does a lot more than that.

Dr. Simoncini discovered research showing that all solid cancers have something in common. They are all held together by a fungus. This fungus produces an acid-based glue that holds it and the cancer cells together.

This fungus is none other than Candida, the common fungus in many yeast infections. Dr. Simoncini found out that Candida plays a vital role in cancer's ability to survive. Here's why.

All normal cells are programmed to self-destruct after a period of time, or if they are damaged. That process is called apoptosis. Normal apoptosis is the main way your body wards off cancer.

But, Candida makes toxins that directly impair the apoptosis process. If your cell doesn't self-destruct when it goes awry, it can further degenerate into endless division. At that point, it becomes cancerous.

Dr. Simoncini maintains that Candida becomes intertwined with tumors, protecting its immortality. To destroy the tumor, we have to knock out this fungus. So you might think that antifungal drugs might do it. They don't. No one has ever cured cancer with an antifungal drug.

But baking soda does!

We've known for years that sodium bicarbonate kills all sorts of fungi and microorganisms. It works so well, in fact, that there are patents in Europe and the U.S. for its use against these invaders. (You can check this out for yourself by searching for patent number 6432425 at the website www.uspto.gov or patent number EP1233374 at the website www.freepatentsonline.com.)

So how does Dr. Simoncini knock out cancer with sodium bicarbonate? He administers 500 cc of a 5% bicarbonate solution intravenously over about one hour, many doctors add potassium to their IV solution.

And he does so six days out of seven. He may also inject it at the site of a local tumor for accessible cancers (like breast). With a cooperating invasive radiologist, he may have a catheter inserted directly into the artery feeding the cancer. He'll then pump in the bicarbonate directly.

Remember, bicarbonate is alkaline and negatively charged. It neutralizes the positively charged acid glue that holds Candida together. With the bicarbonate, the fungus just falls apart. Without the fungus to maintain it, the cancers immediately self-destruct.

Now Dr. Simoncini admits there is a weakness. You need a good blood supply to bring ample bicarbonate to the tumor. Soft tissue primary cancers and metastases usually have enough blood supply. However, metastases to bone may not.

Many of Dr. Simoncini's supportive colleagues have modified his protocol to include alternating weeks of bicarbonate with high dose intravenous vitamin C (100 grams in 1,000 cc D5W) over five hours.

They do this daily, except one day off per week. The two weeks (one of bicarbonate and one of vitamin C) completes one cycle. It will often take only three more cycles to get rid of almost all soft tissue cancers!

I will admit that, at first blush, this seemed too simplistic. This is a disease that has a trillion-dollar industry built around it. Five-and-dime baking soda? Vitamin C? I thought, No way!

But look at how effective the Simoncini protocol is. The overwhelming majority of primary and non-osseous (non-bone) metastatic cancers disappear within days to weeks. Days? Yes indeed.

When it comes to breast cancer, your doctor can flood local tumors with bicarbonate. Local injection can be very painful to be sure. But wouldn't you rather take some pain and spare your breast from getting chopped off by a surgeon?

Dr. Simoncini's breast protocol calls for surrounding a breast tumor with up to 120 cc of 5% sodium bicarbonate solution daily if tolerated. After several sessions, most of these local cancers are totally gone!

Distant cancers require intravenous bicarbonate. Even better is direct infusion into the artery feeding the tumor. In Italy, Dr. Simoncini has the luxury of open-minded interventional radiologists.

Many of them are willing to place catheters into the target arteries for direct bicarbonate infusion into the tumor. This is not possible in our current medical system. So far, none of the bicarbonate trainees have been able to find a caring radiologist who'll place the patient above dogma.

But some doctors are willing to place the catheters for IV vitamin C. That means there's hope that you can get this done.

This happened to Sarah Jones. She and her husband, Bob Jones, sponsored Simoncini's visits to the U.S. She was dying of metastatic breast cancer. She had failed all therapies. With intravenous bicarbonate, she cleared all her soft tissue metastases.

Only bone cancers were left. She started vitamin C drips. The bone metastases did regress. She came off morphine in four days. But she had received radiation 6 months previously.

It led to terminal complications and she did succumb. Bob tells me that he is following at least 40 other patients of which only 4 have not done well (arresting the cancer or better).

Folks, this is a miraculous story! I will update you regularly with the latest information on the five and dime treatment of cancer. No, it doesn't really cost a nickel. We have to use extremely pure pharmaceutical preparations unlike what's in your refrigerator.

But the basic stuff is the same: simple baking soda! Injection preps aren't cheap either. But when compared to Big Pharma's bazillion buck poisonous treatments, the treatment is very inexpensive.

I am again thrilled to get you this potentially lifesaving information. It's so simple that any qualified provider who is trained in IV techniques can administer it in your own home. It's ease of use and low cost will make this treatment a major target of federal bureaucratic agencies.

If and when you see any negative information about bicarbonate therapy, please be sure to note who is pushing it. A bicarbonate cure for cancer could upend one of the richest, most evil and gruesome industries in the world: the cancer establishment.

Dr. Robert Jay Rowen, a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Johns Hopkins University and graduate of the University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine is internationally known for his work in the field of complementary/alternative/integrative medicine. He is affectionately known as the Father of Medical Freedom for pioneering the nation’s first statutory protection for alternative medicine in 1990 in Alaska, against a concerted opposition from the organized medical community and an imported quackbuster.

A few years later, the Alaska governor appointed him to a term on the state medical board against overwhelming opposition from the medical establishment. His appointment was ultimately confirmed by the legislature with overwhelming public support. The rare medical freedom he enjoyed in Alaska enabled him to greatly expand knowledge and experience in a multitude of disciplines and therapies not normally found in medicine.

Jumping into alternative medicine in 1983 through a practice in acupuncture, he quickly expanded to nutritional medicine, chelation therapy, oxidation therapy, homeopathy and herbal medicine, and took intensive training in neural therapy and prolotherapy to help treat and eliminate acute and chronic pain. Alaska’s laws enabled him to work extensively with innovative cancer therapies, ozone, and ultraviolet blood irradiation therapy. He is internationally known and respected for training hundreds of open-minded physicians in these techniques from around the world.

In 2001, he became editor in chief of Second Opinion, one of the nation’s leading monthly publications revealing the frontiers of medicine. Thus, he reduced his practice load considerably to write and teach, and relocated from Alaska to California where he works part time with his like minded talented wife, Terri Su, MD at her Santa Rosa office, Radiant Health Medical Center, in the north Bay area.

You are cordially invited to journey with him into the frontiers of medicine with a free past issue of Second Opinion. Dr. Rowen has authored numerous articles and some of which may be read online.

Natural Cancer Cures with Soursop

By Zidni Agni

Soursop is one of many tress that grows in the rain forests of Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia. It is also known as cherimoya, guanabana, soursop, custard apple, and brazilian paw paw.

In the past few years, the story about miracle discovery of Soursop (also known as Graviola or scientifically named as Annona muricata) as a natural cure for cancer has definitely shocked the modern medical science, especially in advanced medical countries, such as America.

The research result that comes from one of America's largest drug manufacturer shows incredible result such as

1. Attacks cancer cells selectively (without harming the healthy cells) and effectively with natural therapy. The benefit of such treatment is that it excludes all the cons of traditional chemotherapy, such as weight loss, hair loss and extreme nausea.

2. One chemical in Graviola was found to selectively kill colon cancer cells at "10,000 times the potency of (the commonly used chemotherapy drug) Adriamycin

If the soursop provide such miraculous cure for cancer, why haven't heard of it before?. The company which had done thorough research on this cure comes upon one stumbling block on its finishing phase.

The cure was too natural and under federal law in America, governed by FDA, wasn't patentable. The company then decided not to release its finding since it was definitely the were not able to profit from the result of the research.

Luckily, however, there was one scientist from that very same research team whose heart was certainly wasn't filled with all greed. Risking his career, he contacted another company dedicated to harvesting medical plants from the Amazon Rainforest and announced the discovery.

So, how do we actually consume soursop? Well, since its just an ordinary fruit, you could just eat it straight away. However in various South East Asian countries, such as Indonesia, soursop juice is known as one of a kind delicacy, aside from the natural benefit it offers.

Making soursop juice is pretty simple. Just make sure you peel the skin properly and throw away the seed. However, there are several report where juicing young soursop fruit, where as it has soft seed, you could juice the fruit together with the seed for extra nutrition.

Curing Cancer with Hemp Oil

by:JustinKander

Nearly the entire world wants a cure for cancer, and it just so happens that such a cure exists. Unfortunately, because of the source of the cure, there has been widespread opposition and disbelief. Once the world comes to accept this medicine, humanity will enter a new age of peace and prosperity.

The cure for cancer is hemp oil, a concentrated extract derived from the cannabis plant. Modern hemp oil was created by a man named Rick Simpson, who initially made the oil as a way to get the medicinal benefit of cannabis without smoking the plant. It wasnt long before he realized that hemp oil was the ideal way that cannabis should be utilized.

It was not until Rick was diagnosed with skin cancer that he learned of hemp oil's cancer curing abilities. He had three spots of skin cancer, and after having one surgically removed, he decided to test hemp oil on the other spots. Rick did this acting on the knowledge that THC can kill cancer cells, as shown by the University of Virginia (and dozens of other, subsequent studies) in 1974. After a mere four days, his skin cancer was gone, although he was using very high grade oil. Lower grade oils may take longer to cure the cancer, but it will cure them sure enough.

Rick was amazed by the results, and went to his doctor's office to relate the news to him. To Rick's surprise, the doctor was not happy with what Rick had done, and did not even want to listen to him. It seems completely illogical, as it seems this is what a doctor would want. However, doctors don't like when people cure themselves, because it does not make them any money. If hemp oil was widely available, the number of doctor visits would sharply decrease, and that would put many doctors out of business.

For over six years, Rick has given away hemp oil to those who needed it. He was able to distribute it freely, at no cost to the patients, until the Federal Canadian police confiscated the cannabis plants he was using to make the oil. Currently, Rick helps people convert whatever cannabis they have in to hemp oil, and he works diligently to promote the benefits via various mediums.

Rick Simpson has not found one type of cancer resistant to hemp oil. In fact, there has not been a condition that Rick hasn't been able to cure or completely control with the oil. Rick has found hemp oil to be effective with diabetes, heart disease, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, autoimmune disorders, pain disorders, mental disorders, and more. The interesting thing will be not to see what hemp oil can cure, but what it can't cure.

It can seem hard to believe that one medicine can do so much, but Rick is only reporting what he has seen. Just because it seems unbelievable doesn't mean he shouldn't say what he has found, especially when it can save so many lives. Rick has never been in this for any money at all; he would still be giving hemp oil away freely to this day if the police had not taken his plants. He does not sell the medicine, only helps people convert their cannabis in to it. Rick has no reason to lie, and the vast amount of direct results people have gotten with hemp oil show he is legitimate.

Rick Simpson is supported by prominent doctors like Robert Melamede and influential activities such as Jack Herer. Anybody who tries hemp oil will see that it works; it's hard to be skeptical when someone is cured of cancer right before your eyes. The easiest thing to do is make a small amount of hemp oil and find someone with skin cancer, which can be cured with hemp oil in five to fourteen days.
