Now, I hope people will understand why milk whether for babies or fresh milk is not good for everyone esp those with cancer

Marijuana vs Cancer

Abstract | Cannabinoids reduce ErbB2-driven breast cancer progression through Akt inhibition

I remember one of my patient cooking up marijuana and extracting the oil for his medical condition. He was so afraid someone might recognize the smell and report him to the police :)

Now he can truly say marijuana really works, read your medical journals!!!

Crisis in Clinical trials

NEJM -- Cancer Clinical Trials -- A Chronic but Curable Crisis

Interesting that they finally see something wrong with the way the trials are done.

Cancer Decisions® - Mistletoe Makes Further Gains - Part II

Cancer Decisions® - Mistletoe Makes Further Gains - Part II

Whats interesting in this study was, they were actually looking at "maybe" increasing chemotherapy drugs was feasible! Hmmm.. so now Mistletoe is like a rescue remedy?

they totaly lost the sight of "maybe" we can use mistletoe instead of Gemzar?

Support group for cancer patients hits court order - INQUIRER.net, Philippine News for Filipinos

This is something we dont see often :) I hope more people will come out and support the drive vs these big companies.

Hmm Looks like some Doctors are starting to realize something wrong with the statistics

Looking for efficiency rather than efficacy in randomized controlled trials in oncology — Ann Oncol

After reading this paper, I am glad that someone had the "balls" to really look at how these trials make a big thing with small results. I remember a chemo regimen, forgot which one, where the length of survival was SIGNIFICANTLY longer than the older regimen, but looking at the data, i was surprised the difference was less than 3 months!!!

Is that how we look at the data, 3 months is significant on paper, but in real life?

Cancers responding to Healing Frequencies?

Amplitude-modulated electromagnetic fields for the treatment of cancer: Discovery of tumor-specific frequencies and assessment of a novel therapeutic approach

I think this is a very important step towards the integration of the Alternative and the Conventional! If doctors will open up to these possibilities, I feel it will be for the benefit of ALL cancer patients.

You dont lose anything aside from finances( if you are dying, money becomes secondary priority), you won't have any adverse effects. However, it ain't gonna cure you, because as you can see its effect is not immediate.

I hope more studies ike this will come out

Healing just by our intentions

I am reading now a book by Lynn McTaggart,The Field and it discussed how our intentions can actually influence events.

Its a book about how we are all connected by the "Field" that is present all around us. She compiled and made a book of the advances in quantum physics and medicine. Am sure there are now lot more about the topics she discussed, I just hope that Conventional Medicine catches up and realize that their Newtonian Model of Medicine doesnt quite work in today's Quantum Reality

Wow!!! what a mouthful... So I guess now, everyone on GM-CSF should also be on Zoladex?

Vitamin C to the rescue?

Currently, have 2 patients with stage 4 cancers. Apparently after changing my supplier for the Vitamin C, patients are getting better and better.

Both were in real pain and had difficulty eating. Now both are strong and have good appetite.

All those doubts are being erased.

Apatone

Nucleolar Changes and Fibrillarin Redistribution Following Apatone Treatment of Human Bladder Carcinoma Cells -- Jamison et al., 10.1369/jhc.2010.956284 -- Journal of Histochemistry and Cytochemistry

Apatone was granted as an orphan drug for metastatic prostate cancer. I feel this is a very good step where it really shows how cheap drugs or in this case supplement can treat cancer.

Apatone is just vit c and menadione!

Weeks in melancholy

There are days really that you feel this weird sense of sadness or emptiness. I dont even know if its from me or from my patient's point of view.

I was looking and looking for something to read or learn. It felt like I needed to do something, but I dont know what?

And then, it sort of just came to me, its about time to get away for awhile. As I kept reading this quote about looking at this at a distance. Maybe its time for me to distance myself from this space and re-evaluate.

BTW, our center received this special gift from a Kabbalah Center, it was THE book " THe Zohar" Problem is, its in Aramaic!!!

Cancer as part of evolution

Abstract | Phylostratigraphic tracking of cancer genes suggests a link to the emergence of multicellularity in metazoa

It seems from this study, our genes specifically the cancer genes where in fact already part of the uni-cellular organisms. And as cell evolved to multicellular organism, we also have multiple inherent "gatekeepers" to keep these genes in check.

So what triggers these genes to become active again? hmm I bet Dr. Bruce Lipton can be a good reference to this.

So I guess supplements are like the Apple brand, they dont follow the market forces :)

I can see naysakers for vitamins will have great time poking this at pro-vitamins supporters

Here's a very good article about blueberries on breast cancer!!!! Thats why I love blueberries :)

Doubts Remain

Its been hard for me this week, especially since we have been seeing patients, despite all the things we are doing, keeps on deteriorating. I am beginning to question my self already if what I am doing is the "right thing" or is there any other way for us to do it correctly :)

Its like going back to the drawing boards, but different from drawing boards, you cant discard the papers just like that, or in our case, you cant just abandon people who have put great trust in our hands.

So tonight I go back and see where have I missed some things or is it just my ego trying to "think" i can help them, even though I know in the end, its still the person's own journey and we are just bit players or assistants.

Live to Eat or Eat to Live?

I am a bit exasperated with one of my patient who is more wanting to eat rather than to live. He has by the way, Lymphoma and all the work and improvement we had, all went up in smoke because he ate 4 pieces of pandesal.

Stem cells and Vitamin C

Researchers in Guangzhou China have found that vitamin C induces somatic cells or mature cells that are present in all our organs, to become pluripotent stem cells.

Moreover, vitamin C seems to unblock a cell's programming for senescence (or aging) to become a pleuripotent stem cell.

Hmmmm more reason to take those Vitamin c. So now, we can call vitamin C an anti-aging vitamin.
