The Beautiful Truth

The following is a documentary on the Gerson Therapy for cancer treatment.

"A troubled 15-year-old boy attempting to cope with the recent death of his mother sets out to research Dr. Max Gerson's claims of a diet that can cure cancer as his first assignment for home-schooling in this documentary from filmmaker Steve Kroschel (Avalanche, Dying to Have Known).

Garrett is a boy who has always been close to nature. He lives on a wirldlife reserve in Alaska with a menagerie of orphaned animals, and over the years he's become especially sensitive to the nutritional needs of the diet-sensitive animals he's charged with caring for. When Garrett's mother suffers a tragic and untimely death, the boy falls into a dangerous downward spiral and nearly flunks out of school. Increasingly concerned for Garrett's well-being and determined to strengthen their bond despite the many challenges on the horizon, his father makes the decision to begin home-schooling the distressed teen.

Garrett's first assignment: study a controversial book written by Dr. Max Gerson, a physician who claims to have discovered a diet that's capable of curing cancer. Is Dr. Gerson's therapy truly the legitimate, alternative cure it appears to be? Fascinated, Garrett embarks in this documentary on a cross-country road trip to investigate The Gerson Therapy.

Why I Don't Race for the Cure

The following is a video from Chris at ChrisBeatCancer.com and it pretty much sums up my perspective on this issue.  I literally cringe when people start talking about how we need to raise money for a cancer "cure", as there are many treatments already available that can help you beat.

The bottom line is just as he says: Many of these "charities" are scams.  The following articles may also be of interest to you.

Cancer Reseach - A Super Fraud?

The Big Business of Breast Cancer (excerpt below)

"Though breast cancer researchers and advocates perpetually plead for more money, the disease is, in fact, awash in it. Last year, the National Institutes of Health, the nation's top agency for health-related research, allocated $763 million to the study of breast cancer, more than double what it committed to any other cancer. The Department of Defense also funds breast cancer research ($150 million this year), as do several states, most notably Texas and California. All that is in addition to the money raised by the roughly 1,400 IRS-recognized, tax-exempt charities in this country devoted to breast cancer. They operate in every state and in just about every major city. The largest of them, Dallas-based Susan G. Komen for the Cure, grossed $420 million last year alone. All told, an estimated $6 billion is raised every year in the name of breast cancer. And the money keeps pouring in...

Reversing Cancer

The following is audio from Dr. Rebecca Carley discussing what cancer is, how it is propagated, and how to reverse it.

• Understanding Trophoblasts
• The Importance of Being Alkaline
• Healthy Immune System 
• Not Drinking Milk
• Knowing About Carcinogens
• The Risks of Radiation of Exposure
• The Vaccine Connection

Dr. Rebecca (Roczen) Carley received her Bachelor’s degree in Diagnostic Ultrasound, attended medical school (and received the Samuel L. Kountz award for clinical excellence in surgery at graduation), and trained to be a general surgeon at State University of New York at Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn. Dr. Carley also worked as an attending Emergency Room physician at Kings County Medical Center in Brooklyn (which is the primary training affiliate for Downstate students), and is the largest hospital (and busiest trauma center) in the United States.

Update: Cancer & Sugar

We had previously shared how sugar feeds cancer; a fact that most in the conventional medical community have disputed for years.  However, some scientists are finally starting to sound the alarm, and none too soon if you ask me:  Is Sugar Toxic?

Like my own, most medical doctors will tell you not to change how you eat, but simply try to eat a "good, balanced diet" when you are diagnosed with cancer.  However, I have found that beating cancer requires us to have wisdom about what we are eating and how such is affecting our health.  As long as there are lobbiests with deep pockets (pharma, agriculture, etc.) it will be essential that we take responsibility for maintaining our own health and not simply take answers that are given to us.

Paw Paw

Paw Paw is a plant indigenous to the United States whose fruit has been shown to fight cancer. 

According to the Paw Paw Research site:

When a person intakes a source of acetogenins, such as a capsule of standardized paw paw extract, the blood supply picks them up and delivers them throughout the body along with glucose.  Although a slight amount of acetogenins may wind up in non-cancer cells, the resulting lowering of ATP production is not enough in most of these cells to cause any problems. 

The huge energy requirement of the cancerous cells tends to "hog" most of the acetogenins to those cells.  Furthermore, when the acetogenins start working on the "high-usage" cancer cells, the resulting drop in ATP energy production is much greater than it would be in most normal cells.  Thus, if cancer cells are present in the body, the paw paw tends to affect them, while leaving the normal cells alone.

Unlike chemotherapy, the paw paw works to "starve" the cancer cells instead of poisoning them.  Thus, the action is usually slower than chemotherapy.

In this way, paw paw helps to knock out the cancer cell's energy production mechanism without having the harmful side effects of chemo or radiation (similar to what is done with the Protocel treatment).
