A Few Opening Words
People who actively and knowingly participate in their own healing, who have a positive attitude with respect to their own recovery, and who have the proper support from others, often do quite well in overcoming cancer and other degenerative diseases. In this path toward wholeness and healing, mind and heart, knowledge and willingness, faith and guidance, and the active and loving support of others, are needed. But knowledge is the most powerful piece on the board. Unfortunately, most people lack true knowledge when it comes to their own health and healing; they are too often derailed by false ideas and concepts, and, sadly, they are often besieged by fear, hopelessness, and victimhood. In this state of mental and emotional crisis, healing is difficult, getting in touch with your own heart and your own power is difficult, life is difficult. But it doesn't have to be that way. With the right knowledge, with a clear understanding of cancer and how to overcome it, you can move from crisis to opportunity, from powerlessness to empowerment, from fear to love and fulfillment. But again, for this to happen, you must have the right knowledge, the right attitude, and the right support and guidance from others. I hope that the information on this page with help you with that; that it will provide you with knowledge, steer you in the right direction, and perhaps inspire you to take the reigns of your own healing into your own hands.
The information on this page covers the following: a) an exploration of the primary and secondary causes of cancer, b) a brief overview of some natural treatment protocols based on those causes, and c) additional information and treatment options, including the enzymatic treatment of cancer. It is my hope that this information can help you make an informed decision with respect to your own treatment and care. This information, however, is not intended to replace direct medical guidance but serve as an adjunct to it.
The Primary Cause of Cancer
Otto Warburg (winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1931, and again in 1944) put forth the thesis that the primary or fundamental cause of cancer is a lack of available oxygen at the cellular level. According to Warburg (and countless other scientists whose work supports his thesis) a lack of oxygen on the cellular level forces an otherwise normal cell to revert to a primitive, anaerobic form of glucose-based energy production, called fermentation. When a cell reverts back to this primitive form of energy production it uses up lots of glucose and produces a toxic form of lactic acid; in this lower form the cell goes "rogue," loses its whole-body intelligence, and no longer has the ability to function as part of a tissue or organ. In this form it becomes cancerous; it begins to multiply on its own, unchecked, and beyond control. In his Noble Prize address, Otto Warburg stated:
“There are primary and secondary causes of diseases. For example, the primary cause of the plague is the plague bacillus, but secondary causes of the plague are filth, rats, and the fleas that transfer the plague bacillus from rats to man. By a primary cause of a disease I mean one that is found in every case of the disease.
“Cancer, above all other diseases, has countless secondary causes. But, even for cancer, there is only one primary cause. Summarized in a few words, the primary cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by a fermentation of sugar. All normal body cells meet their energy needs by respiration of oxygen, whereas cancer cells meet their energy needs in great part by fermentation. All normal body cells are thus obligate aerobes, whereas all cancer cells are partial anaerobes. From the standpoint of the physics and chemistry of life this difference between normal and cancer cells is so great that one can scarcely picture a greater difference. Oxygen gas, the donor of energy in plants and animals is dethroned in the cancer cells and replaced by an energy yielding reaction of the lowest living forms [such as yeast or bacteria], namely, a fermentation of glucose.”
Secondary Causes of Cancer
Although there is one Primary Cause of cancer, there are “countless” secondary causes, each of which reduce the body’s oxidative potential and its ability to utilize oxygen on the cellular level. Once a tumor develops it produces substances and high-acidic conditions that further decrease the availability of oxygen at the cellular level; and so the tumor mass could be seen as a tertiary or self-perpetuating cause.
The Major Secondary Causes of Cancer (which reduce oxygen utilization, or oxidative potential, at a cellular level) are:
1. High cellular acidity
2. Defective, weak, or damaged cell membrane
3. Deactivation of the primary oxidative enzymes
4. Excess glucose in the cell / insulin-adrenaline imbalance
5. Chronic, Low-Level Inflammation
6. Excess sodium (and water) in the cell
7. Reduced ability of the blood to transport oxygen
8. Lack of vital nutrients and minerals
9. Toxic Interference
1. High cellular acidity. Cells that are acidic are not able to take in and utilize oxygen as effectively as cells that are slightly alkaline. Most people with cancer are highly acidic, oftentimes with a cellular pH between 5.0 and 6.0. This is ten to a hundred times more acidic than a normal cell, which has an ideal pH of 7.35.
High acidity comes about through long-term consumption of high-acid foods (including sugar), stress, negative emotions, chronic dehydration, etc. Cancer cells also produce high amounts of noxious lev-lactic acid, which lowers the pH level of the cell, the surrounding tissue, and the body as a whole. This places a toxic burden on the entire body. The process of removing or neutralizing this excess acid strains the body’s alkaline reserve and leads to a depletion of critical minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium.
It is possible to decrease cellular acidity and bring cells into pH balance by:
a) consuming dex-lactic acid (dextrorotatory, or right-turning lactic acid) foods and drinks (such as sauerkraut juice or kombucha tea), which neutralize the lev-lactic acid (levorotatory, or left-turning lactic acid) produced by cancerous cells. Dr. Budwig recommended drinking a cup of sauerkraut juice every morning (as a way to neutralize this excess lev-lactic acid);
b) taking Pleo-Sanuvis, which is a homeopathic dex-lactic acid preparation;
c) consuming high-alkaline foods and drinks, especially grass juices; and
d) taking full-scale alkalinizing supplements such as ionic trace minerals (found in a product called Alka-trace).
Taking singular, high-alkaline substances such as potassium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate, or cesium chloride (or a combination of sodium bicarbonate and potassium citrate) can raise cellular pH temporarily but these substances do not replenish the depleted alkaline store in a balanced way. Hence, they may be useful and effective in bringing short-term results but they should not be included as part of any long-term solution.
A short program of high intensity "burn" exercise, engaged in twice a day, is also helpful, as this kind of exercise prompts the body to produce its own dex-lactic acid (which helps neutralize the lev-lactic acid produced by a tumor).
One's pH levels can be determined by using a simple pH strip and measuring the pH of the urine and the saliva two hours after eating. The average pH of the urine and saliva (which is derived by taking the urine pH + the saliva pH and dividing by two) should be around 6.4, which is slightly acidic. (The body produces acid in its normal processes and needs to "throw off" excess acid in order to maintain a slightly alkaline state. So, the urine and pH should be slightly acidic, which indicates that your cells are slightly alkaline.) There is some debate among natural doctors as to what pH is optimal. Since cellular pH is optimally around 7.3, some people believe that the saliva/urine pH should also have a baseline reading of 7.3 but, as mentioned, this one-for-one logic may not be correct. According to the research of Cary Reams, a baseline pH of 6.4 is optimal and that is why I am suggesting this number as well.

2. Defective, weak, or damaged cell membrane.
A defective, weak, or poorly-constructed cell membrane causes the cell to have a low di-polar charge (which is the difference in voltage between the nucleus and cell membrane). With a low di-polar charge the cell loses its ability to attract and draw in oxygen. A damaged cell membrane also allows toxins to enter the cell (which disables the cells' oxidative enzymes), excess sodium to enter the cells, and mitochondria to migrate out of the cell.
The primary factors that lead to a poorly-constructed or damaged cell membrane are: a) lack of omega-3 fats in the diet, and the consumption of poor fats (including cooked, rancid, and hydrogenated oils, as well as an excess of poor Omega-6 oils, such as canola oil, soy oil, corn oil, etc.), b) exposure to exogenous toxins, including toxic metals, fluorine, plastics, formaldehyde, DDT, etc. (from poor water quality, indoor pollution, and other sources), and c) lack of minerals, vitamins, proteins, etc. (which is usually the result of a poor diet or a diet consisting of foods that has not been supported by proper soil mineralization).
The body constructs the cell membrane out of essential fats. Consuming the wrong kind of fat (and not consuming enough of the right kind of fat) is the primary cause that leads to a poorly-constructed, porous, low-charged cell membrane.
The most effective way to re-charge and re-establish the cellular membrane is through a) the intake of sufficient amounts of flaxseed oil combined with sulfur protein (a combination devised by Johanna Budwig and used in both the Budwig protocol and the Fosube Shake), b) the rigorous exclusion of all poor and corrupted fats, including all hydrogenated oil, overly-cooked oils (found in all fried foods and most "chips," including organic and gluten-free corn chips), and rancid oils; as well as poor Omega-6 oils (such as soybean oil, corn oil, canola oil, etc.), c) the rigorous avoidance of exogenous toxins (which also includes electro-magnetic stressors, such as radiation, chemotherapy, high-voltage lines, cell-phone towers, and underground magnetic fields, and d) an increased intake of minerals, through proper diet or supplementing with colloidal mineral, such as Min-Col (a supplement formulated by Cary Reams). In addition, the consumption of a high-quality fish oil (from a glass container not a capsule), such as salmon oil or cod liver oil, can be very helpful. (The most enjoyable and best-tasting way I know of to take fish oil is in the form of "Groil Sauce." See Groil Sauce [or Green + Oil] sidebar for instructions on how to make it).
3. Deactivation of the oxidative enzymes.
Oxidative enzymes are needed to produce energy through an aerobic pathway. If these enzymes are deactivated the cell will not be able to utilize sufficient amounts of oxygen (even if vast amounts have entered the cell); and, as a result, the cell would be forced to revert to an anaerobic pathway to produce its energy. This anaerobic mode of energy production, called fermentation, is the primary factor that distinguishes a cancer cell (which is a somewhat primitive life form) from a normal cell (which is a highly- advanced life form).
The primary oxidative enzyme (called cytochrome a/a3) is deactivated through the consumption of “respiratory poisons” which comes in the form of preserved meats, nitrates, and too much animal fat; and when the body lacks the minerals and nutrients needed to construct these enzymes. The presence of heavy metals (such as nickel and mercury) as well as electro-magnetic stressors also damage oxidative enzymes.
The action of these oxidative enzymes (and cellular respiration) can be restored through the intake of a specialized formula called Zell Oxygen, which becomes even more powerful when combined with royal jelly. (For more information on the use of Zell Oxygen, see the two papers by Serge Jurasunas, posted below.) Eating foods that are considered “hydrogen acceptors” can also help activate cellular respiration. These foods include beet crystals or organic beet juice powder (a major ingredient of "Groil Sauce"), flavanoids (found in blueberry, cherries, grapes, blackberries, and raspberries), bromelain (especially when combined with quercetin), foods that contain beta carotene (such as carrots or carrot juice), propolis, and squalene (found in wheat germ oil and olive oil). Dr. Paul Seeger, the foremost cancer researcher of his time---and perhaps of all time---used beetroot juice, plus dex-lactic acid, plus black currant juice (for its vitamin C content) as a powerful restorer of oxidative enzymes. Foods and drinks that are high in dex-lactic acid include sauerkraut juice (a glass of which is taken every day in the Budwig Protocol), fermented vegetable juice, Kombucha, as well as certain strains used to make yogurt or kefir bacteria, such as Bifido bacterium longum, Lactobacillus Casei, and Streptococcus Lactis.
A substance devised by Dr. Koch, called glyoxylide, was said to restore oxidative respiration, and reverse all cancer growth, with a single injection. However, the exact formula used by Dr. Koch has since been lost.
For more information on kefir and dextrorotatory lactic acid see: Dex-Lactic Acid and Kefir. Note: dextrorotatory lactic acid, which is right-turning and positive (and considered beneficial) is herein designated as dex-lactic acid but is more commonly designated by the term L(+) lactic acid. In the article referred to above, dextrorotatory lactic acid is designated by the term, L(+) lactic acid.
4. Excess glucose in the cell / Insulin-Adrenaline Imbalance
When a cell is loaded with glucose its operation is disrupted and it cannot effectively utilize oxygen; and, over time, it becomes oxygen-deprived.
This condition comes about through the long-term consumption of sugar and carbohydrates which brings about chronically high levels of blood-sugar and insulin. (This is one reason why there is a positive link between cancer and diabetes―they share the same pre-primary cause.)
Excess glucose in the cell can also come about when the body's ability to produce adrenaline is depleted, as adrenaline is needed to keep insulin in check. (This hypothesis was first put forth by Dr. Waltraut Fryda.) Adrenaline production is depleted through long-term chronic stress, as this chronic stress forces the pancreas to produce adrenaline far beyond its capacity which, over time, eventually exhausts the chromaffin system and the ability of the pancreas to produce adrenaline. Lower adrenaline levels brings about chronically higher insulin levels and this leads to cells becoming sugar-logged.
Insulin not only ushers sugar into the cells it also brings in magnesium. Chronically high levels of insulin in the blood (which come from a diet high in sugar and carbohydrates) leads to insulin resistance. In this condition, the cells "close their doors" to insulin, which means they also close their doors to magnesium. Big problem. Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic processes, especially those involved with cellular energy production. Most people with cancer are chronically low in cellular magnesium and must take steps to remedy this severe problem. Reducing insulin resistance (which can be helped by adopting a low-carb diet and doing proper exercise), increasing one's intake of high-magnesium foods, and supplementing with magnesium (especially in the form of magnesium aspartate and/or magnesium orotate) can be helpful but is usually not sufficient to reverse a deep-seated magnesium deficiency. The transdermal application of magnesium chloride (in the form of "magnesium oil," diluted with water, to avoid a stinging sensation), or a regular course of magnesium baths (using magnesium chloride crystals), is usually required. Restoration of proper magnesium levels can often bring about amazing results. However, if your blood-sugar/insulin levels remain high you may not be able to solve your magnesium deficiency.
Another ill-effect of long-term sugar and starch consumption (which results primarily from a high-carbohydrate diet) is that it leads to insulin resistance. This is where the liver and other organs become resistance or insensitive to insulin thus leading to chronically high levels of blood-sugar and insulin (and eventually diabetes). Increased levels of insulin in the blood promote higher levels of "insulin-like growth factor one" (IGF-1) and lower levels of IGFBP-3. IGF-1 is a powerful stimulator of cell division while IGFBP-3 keeps unregulated cell growth in check by activating programmed cell death or "apoptosis." All said, elevated levels of insulin in the blood promotes unregulated cell division and the growth of cancer (and a general weakening of the entire body).
The best way to remedy this damaging condition of excess glucose in the cell is to carefully restrict your intake of carbohydrates and sugary foods (particularly wheat, all processed forms of sugar, corn, most grains, and fruit juices), drink sufficient amounts of water (as water is needed to remove excess sugar and insulin from the blood), don't overeat at night, and adopt a balanced, low-carb diet. It is particularly important to live a more stress-free life and also to restore the adrenal glands and the endocrine system as a whole.
"Oxygen deficiency and glycogen overloading in a locus minoris resistentiae (Latin: location of reduced resistance)―in this case a site with particularly poor blood supply―can lead to a first cell moving over to another reduced type of metabolism (which is it perfectly capable of doing). This is known as fermentation and takes place in the absence of oxygen. It is characteristic of optically levorotatory lactic acid, one of the end-products of this type of fermentation, to increase eightfold the division of cells in a given time (rate of mitosis), which process again consumes relatively large quantities of sugar."
(Fryda, Diagnosis Cancer, p. 27)
"The breakdown of the chromaffin system, resulting from continuous stress, inevitably leads to adrenaline deficiency. Lack of adrenaline initially leads to an overloading of the cell with glycogen with simultaneous oxygen deficiency in two ways: a) the vessel-modulating effect of adrenaline fails, and b) the vessel-constricting effect of noradrenaline continues. The cell “remembers” its early phylogenetic capability of anaerobic, reduced metabolism and reacts precisely in this way [by reverting to a fermentation-based mode of energy production]. This, ultimately, however, has fatal consequences, because the fermentation of glycogen produces optically levorotatory lactic acid, a toxic product for the organism, which increases mitotic rate (rate of cell division). This mitosis-stimulating effect is perfectly compatible with the idea of an unhindered cell division in the case of malignant cells. It gives the organism a further means to rid itself of its excess glycogen in the cells; cell nests need a particularly vast amount of glycogen. In this way, the first fermented cell relatively quickly takes on an autonomous form, with the the sole goal to use up glycogen. This looks like an efficient utilization of sugar, in the beginning seemingly life-sustaining for the organism, but it results in a toxic end-product and increased readiness for cell division with an anaerobic metabolism. . . .
Under high demand, muscle cells may need more oxygen than can be supplied by lung and blood, and yet the muscle does not cease to function because it restricts itself to anaerobic glycolysis by producing optically dextrorotatory lactic acid, which it turn stimulates adrenaline production and has a favorable influence on the acid-alkaline environment of the organism.
(Fryda, Diagnosis Cancer, p. 33-4)
“Adrenaline deficiency causes a relative predominance of the insulin effect, i.e., a kind of hyperinsulinism [and insulin resistance] with all its negative consequences. . . . the predominance of insulin in the metabolism is the catalyst that allows the mutation of oncogenes of genes that codify the cell signal-transmitting systems, possibly leading to illnesses, and in particular cancer. It is, furthermore, known that insulin causes damage to lysosomes (organelles that are capable of breaking down and reusing damaged cell parts), thereby, hindering or disrupting an important cell repair process. . . .
My starting-point is this: less insulin means slower tumor growth (relatively, in the case of adrenaline deficiency); more insulin equals faster tumor growth. . . . In accordance with the present hypothesis, the reason for the impeded breaking down of the blood sugar is found in the glycogen overload of many cells as a result of insufficient glycogenolytic hormones, in particular adrenaline. This, the illness, which lays the foundation for the formation of the first malignant cell, is nothing more that decompensated adrenaline-deficiency diabetes.”
(Fryda, Diagnosis Cancer, p. 39-41)
> Protocol for Normalizing Blood Sugar Levels
5. Chronic, Low-Level Inflammation
Chronic, low-level inflammation can be caused by a number of factors, especially high levels of glucose and fructose in the blood. Reducing chronic inflammation, and especially its root cause, is critically important in restoring the overall health of the body. One of the many ill-effects of long-term chronic inflammation is that it depletes the body of critical supplies and, over time, impacts its ability to produce a healthy inflammatory response, which is a crucial part of the body's defense arsenal. Having inflammation (which means that the body is successfully responding to a toxin or an allergen) is far more preferable than not having inflammation (which means the body is not able to respond to a toxin or allergen).
The regular use of fulvic acid not only helps reduce systemic inflammation but increases both cellular uptake of minerals and cellular oxygenation.
Grounding or "Earthing," which involves connecting your body directly to the earth while sleeping, and regularly throughout the day (by walking barefoot, using special "grounding" shoes, or by resting your feet on an earthing pad, such as when working on a computer) is a powerful way to balance the electron energy of the body and reduce inflammation.
It is interesting to note that high intake of sugar (particularly in the form of high fructose corn syrup) leads to inflammation of the arteries and, hence, the need for higher levels of cholesterol (to repair the damage). This damage to the arterial lining (and to the endothelium, which is the singe layer of cells that lines the interior walls of the blood vessels) decreases the body's ability to produce nitric oxide (NO), a substance that relaxes the arteries, keeps them flexible, and promotes blood flow. Hence, arterial inflammation and damage to the endothelium leads to vessel stiffness, plague build-up, increased blood pressure, poorer circulation, and a host of other ills, including decreased blood flow and less oxygen available to the cells. [For more on nitric oxide, see item 7 below.]
Eliminating your intake of high fructose corn syrup (and reducing other forms of fructose) may be the most effective way to reduce arterial inflammation and cholesterol (which, again, is the not the root problem, only the body's response to the root problem.) Reducing cholesterol by drugs or even natural means is not the answer; reducing arterial inflammation (by eliminating its primary cause) is.
There is one more thing you can add to your anti-inflammatory arsenal: cannabidiol (CBD). CBD may have far-reaching effects, not only in its powerful ability to reduce inflammation but also as a natural chemotherapy agent.
From Mark Sircus's website:
"The truth is there is no “overnight fix” for chronic inflammation. That said, I take that back and say there is: The quickest fix for inflammation, the one that works most instantly is sodium bicarbonate. So many doctors and books talk about inflammation today but they fail to mention the mighty muscleman of the anti-inflammation world. Right behind this heavyweight is magnesium chloride, which is the anti-inflammatory that too many doctors are still forgetting to mention and use. It literally controls inflammation because a deficiency in magnesium is one of the basic root causes of inflammation, so its replenishment is the logical way to put out inflammatory fires. If all this medical forgetting is not enough ineptitude, realize that the newest, strongest and possibly greatest anti-inflammatory on the block cannabidiol (CBD) just went legal and now exists and is available in topical and oral forms. People who have used medical marijuana know this because it gives so much quick pain relief."
"CBD spells bad news for the pharmaceutical industry because, when combined with other strong medicinals like magnesium, sodium bicarbonate and iodine, people can treat themselves more safely and effectively than they can be treated in a doctor’s office."
Max Gerson
Max Gerson, was one of the earliest cancer pioneers to address the connection between cancer and inflammation. (Gerson’s emphasis on inflammatory response is largely based on the work of G. von Bergman). Gerson believed that body's ability to create an inflammation, in response to a particular stressor, such as cancer, was of critical importance in one's healing process, stating “a normal body can kill cancer by producing an inflammation.” In his book, A Cancer Therapy - Results of Fifty Cases, he wrote: "... slices of tissue, taken from malignant rat tumors or human cancer tissues, are killed fast in an inflammation exudate simply because the specific metabolism of the cancer cell cannot be maintained in those surroundings." (page 43) "There is no other way but to kill these [cancer] cells, to dissolve and absorb them. I believe the surest way to achieve this end is to restore to the body its ability to produce non-bacterial inflammatory reactions." (pages 125-127)
So long as the body is able to produce a health inflammatory response, things are not critically bad (even though that inflammation, over time, produces all kinds of problems). A relatively healthy body can produce a healthy inflammatory response and, while that is not preferred—what is preferred is that there are no things that cause the body to produce an inflammation—it is far better than a condition where the body cannot produce a proper inflammatory response at all. If the body is under long-term attack, producing a chronic, low-level inflammatory response, 24/7, it begins to lose it’s ability to produce such a response in the future. So, avoiding stress factors that produce chronic, low-level inflammation protects you both in the short-run and the long-run
Below is a chart listing the difference between Normal Serum and Inflammation Fluid:
Normal Serum Inflammation Fluid
Oxygen pressure 117 mm Hg 6 mm Hg
Sugar content 100 mg % 6 mg %
Lactic acid content 10 mg % 125 mg %
Bicarbonate content 25.10-3 molar 8.9.10-3 molar
pH 7.48 6.29
Of interest here is that the sugar content and the lactic acid content (dextrorotatory lactic acid) of the two fluids are reversed: the Inflammation Fluid contains 1/16 the amount of sugar and 12.5 times the amount of dex-lactic acid as the Normal Serum. Thus, to support the body’s production of inflammatory fluid, and provide it with the raw materials it needs, it is especially important to supply the body with large amounts of dex-lactic acid. Dex-lactic acid is also needed to neutralize the outpouring of lev-lactic acid produced by cancer cells. We also see that the Inflammation Fluid is low in glucose: it's important to surround the cancer cells with a low glucose medium to cut off its main fuel supply.
I bring up this issue because the intake of dextrorotatory lactic acid is featured in many cancer protocols, including that of Waltraut Fryda (who uses it to neutralize the lev-lactic acid produced by cancer cells, and thus restore the overall pH balance of the body), and Johanna Budwig (whose program includes the ingestion of one cup of sauerkraut juice per day).
Gerson's overall aim was consistent with the oxidative approach first put forth by Otto Warburg. Gerson writes: "The ideal task of cancer therapy is to restore the function of the oxidizing systems in the entire organism. This, of course, is difficult to accomplish. It involves the following: 1) detoxification of the whole body, 2) providing the essential mineral contents of the potassium group, 3) adding oxidizing enzymes continuously as long as they are not reactivated and built in the body (in the form of green leaf juice and fresh calf's liver juice). This will create a near normal condition of the oxidizing system in the body, to which malignant cells with the fermentation system cannot adapt." (Gerson, p. 7)
While I agree with most of Gerson's root theories I do not find his program practical or implementable. Not only does the program involve the intake of too much fructose, it is too costly, too interfering, and too time- and energy-consuming (especially all that time it takes to produce and consume 12+ cups of fresh juice per day). For instance, here is something from Gerson's Book, Fifty Cases:
"Here is a record of the average quantity of intake of some patients in the course of one year; a very great part of which is converted into juices.
1800 pounds of carrots
1300 pounds of apples
35-450 pounds of calf’s liver (juice)
145 heads of red cabbage
400 heads of lettuce
125 pounds of green peppers, etc., etc."
6. Excess sodium in the cell.
When the cell membrane is damaged the osmotic balance is disrupted and too much sodium is allowed to enter the cell while too much potassium is forced out. Too much sodium in the cell does two things: a) it brings in too much water and water-logs the cell, and b) it lowers the energy potential of the cell by de-activating the potassium-sodium pumps. Both of these disturbances diminish the cell’s ability to take in and utilize oxygen.
This condition comes about when the cell membrane is damaged and it is made worse by taking in too much sodium while taking in too little potassium. The condition is further worsened by taking in too little water (which does not enable the body to flush out the excess sodium in the system.
To balance sodium-potassium levels decrease or eliminate table salt, canned goods, and foods that have been preserved with sodium. Small amounts of Himalayan salt crystals are OK, as is rock salt, commonly available as Kosher salt. If you have blood-sugar issues you may have to increase your salt intake. Also, increase your intake of potassium foods (by eating lots of vegetables and potassium-rich foods) and, if need be, take potassium supplements (which is best taken in the form of several different types of potassium combined. High potassium intake, and severe restriction of sodium, is a major part of the famous Gerson Program. Gerson used a combination of potassium acetate, potassium monophosphate, and potassium gluconate). Potassium citrate has the particular ability to increase the electro-magnetic potential charge (or zeta-potential) of the blood and should be used in every potassium formula (or simply taken on its own). Potassium citrate increases zeta potential (which increases blood flow and the ability of the blood to transport oxygen) as well as dissolving calcium deposits, both in the arteries and the kidneys. So, with potassium citrate you get three major benefits for the price of one. (And, also, it is quite inexpensive.)
Drinking small amounts of pure water throughout the day (in the amount of half a cup per half hour) can be very beneficial. For extra cleaning and balancing, a small amount of fresh-squeezed lemon juice can be taken with the water every hour.
7. Reduced ability of the blood to transport oxygen.
Cells become more oxygen-deprived when the blood lacks the ability to carry its full measure of oxygen. This problem comes about when a) the blood is weak or anemic (with improper amounts of hemoglobin), b) blood-sugar levels are too high and the blood is too insulin-rich, c) blood-sugar levels are too low, d) the flow of blood is restricted because red blood cells are clumped together (due to low zeta-potential) or agglutinated (often caused by food allergens, particularly wheat and corn), e) the circulation is impaired or restricted and/or the blood is too thick due (or of "high viscosity") due to inflammation, arterial damage, toxic metals, chronic dehydration, etc., and f) the blood is impure. Many of the famous herbal formulations (including the Hoxsey Formula) are specifically designed to purify the blood and enhance the blood’s ability to transport oxygen. Shallow breathing is also harmful, as is breathing polluted, toxic, or moldy air.
Blood flow and the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood can be increased by a) eating a nutrient rich diet which forms healthy red blood cells, b) stabilizing blood-sugar levels, c) proper hydration, which comes about by drinking small amounts of pure water throughout the day, d) increasing the flow of blood by increasing zeta-potential, particularly with the regular intake of lemon water or supplementing with potassium citrate, and by avoiding foods that cause allergic reactions, such as inflammation, e) insuring proper blood-levels of nitric oxide or NO, and f) keeping the blood pure through eating pure foods, using blood-cleansing herbal preparations (which might include red clover), and keeping the colon clean. A colon that is backed-up and filled with putrefaction can pretty much undermine all other efforts. So, clearing out the colon, and keeping it clean---through proper eating (with regular and COMPLETE bowel movements), herbal cleansing formulas, colonics, and even a regular series of enemas (if bowel movements are not complete)---can be essential for overall health, especially when the body is in a weakened position and the liver is burdened or operating on a sub-par level. (In terms of complete colon cleansing, I prefer the "closed-system," self-administered colonic, which I find more effective than the services of a professional colon therapists or use of a colema board.)
In virtually all cases, a course of IV chelation, and regular supplementation with calcium EDTA (alone or in formulation with mucopolysaccharides), may be useful to improve cardiovascular health and blood flow.
Excerpts from an interview with Dr. Gary Gordon:
Nitric Oxide
Nitric oxide is an extremely important molecule in our body that was previously called “endothelial relaxing factor.” (This is not the laughing gas that the dentist gives you; that’s nitrous oxide.) Endothelium is the Saran Wrap-like coating that lines the inside of every blood vessel in your body, and if you can make good levels of nitric oxide—or endothelial relaxing factor—then you’re going to have your blood vessels relaxed instead of constricted. And if they’re relaxed then they’re open and they let more blood go through.
EDTA
But the way in which EDTA affects nitric oxide is only a tiny piece of the whole story because we all have too much lead in our body. There is no escape. So we can state unequivocally that if your heart has too much lead in it then even the pumping function of your heart will be effected. . . . Now we know that the blood flow throughout your whole body—through your capillaries, arteries and veins—is also effected by the level of lead.
When lead levels go up, our body is unable to convert a certain amino acid into nitric oxide. When we eat a good meal we get an amino acid called arginine. In a healthy body—one that isn’t lead toxic—that arginine can be converted into nitric oxide, which would then mean that all the blood vessels would be open and the person would have less angina. … So chelation is absolutely mandatory for cardiovascular health.
Blood Viscosity and Flow
"You once said that the single most important aspect in preventing artery and heart disease is “Blood viscosity.” Do you feel that blood viscosity is still the single most important heart and artery factor that we can influence?"
It is one of the most important . . . All of these can favorably lower blood viscosity. As you know, menstruating women tend to be completely protected against fatal heart attacks. We find this is because routinely menstruating women tend to have extremely favorable low blood viscosity readings. Of course, women tend to outlive men anyway. Many think this is partially due to the lower level of iron women have throughout their lifetime. However, it now appears that the loss of blood itself has another separate action that helps to lower blood viscosity. It seems that this is because the new replacement blood cells are softer and more flexible just as new babies are soft and flexible, and this is less abrasive to the inner lining of the blood vessels as these cells flow through the blood vessels.
"How can one improve his/her blood viscosity?"
The obvious and readily controllable factors that we’ve all been aware of include preventing obesity, limiting alcohol consumption, salt intake, smoking, exercise, controlling the epidemic of diabetes and the over-consumption of animal fats, as well as limiting the intake of all trans fats. Even donating blood lowers blood viscosity. What I was so excited to find, however, was that the oral chelation [> specifically, a combination of EDTA and mucopolysaccharides], which I have worked with since my initial collaboration with Dr. Lester Morrison over 20 years ago, was clearly and dramatically improving blood viscosity on all people tested.
This approach has permitted me to safely cancel bypass surgery on every patient that I have treated for the last 20 years. I have yet to hear of the first fatal heart attack occurring in any patient treated with this basically all natural supplement program that we now recognize is lowering blood viscosity without fail. Of course, the omega-3 fatty acid is another key component of this program because no single nutrient is able to eliminate all of the basic causes of death from heart attacks. These include blood clots, arrhythmia and/or vessel spasm. . . .
In his book The Sinatra Solution, Steve Sinatra—who doesn’t even use chelation—says that he’s routinely canceling heart transplants. I have been able to cancel every heart transplant, because I use all the things that Steve talks about—the carnitine, the alpha lipoic acid, and the ribose—in addition to chelation. The ribose, the magnesium, and the coenzyme Q-10 are important. Ribose is a big story. It is a five carbon sugar. Normally we’re against sugar, but here’s a sugar that takes no effort for the body to convert into the currency of energy called ATP.

8. Lack of vital nutrients and minerals.
Nutrients are needed to form healthy red blood cells and for all proper functioning of the cells, including the production of respiratory enzymes. Therefore, poor diet and unhealthy eating invariable leads to poor health and decreased oxygen utilization at the cellular level. However, even eating the best of foods, including organic foods, may not be enough to replenish all the minerals a person needs. Due to poor soil quality, vegetables simple do not contain enough minerals to restore deficiencies. Also, decreased digestive power (with low HCL and a depletion of digestive enzymes---which results from eating too many processed and denatured foods---also hampers the body's ability to extract nutrients from food. Vegetable juice can supply greater amounts of nutrients than simply eating or blending up vegetables but this method has its problems---not only is it time-consuming but vegetable juice may increase blood-sugar levels too severely. So, in general, small amounts of vegetable juice are OK (so long as blood-sugar levels are not thrown out of balance). More often than not, in order to restore mineral levels, supplements are needed in the form of grass juice powders, ionic or trace minerals, Min-Col (a specialized form of colloidal minerals).
9. Toxic Interference and the accumulation of toxic metals in the body.
The most common metal toxins are nickel and mercury. The main culprit here is mercury fillings and other dental interventions. Lead and cadmium are also highly toxic.
>> Tertiary Causes of Cancer
Tertiary causes are those that bring about or sustain secondary causes. These include:
♦ A Weak or Compromised Immune System
♦ Negative psychological states, such as fear, depression, and hopelessness, lower the cellular voltage of every cell in the body and thwarts the cells’ ability to attract oxygen and regenerate.
♦ A poor diet (one that is filled with empty, processed foods and lacking in vital nutrients). This does not allow the body to produce healthy nor replace unhealthy cells.
♦ Poor Liver Function
♦ Low body temperature and hypothyroidism
♦ Anything that is harmful to the body or brings about poor health. This could include poor sleeping habits, chronic dehydration, consumption of GMO foods, overeating, emotional disturbances, exposure to electro-magnetic currents, exposure to toxins, use of prescription and recreational drugs, smoking, etc.
♦ A tumor mass, which uses up large amounts of glucose (thus depriving the body of this vital fuel) and produces a burdensome amount of toxic lev-lactic acid, which the body has to neutralize through the use of its own alkaline reserves.

Specific Protocols
(to increase cellular oxygen levels and restore overall health)
1. Neutralize Lev-Lactic Acid (produced by cancer cells) with Dex-Lactic Acid
Cancer cells produce lev-lactic acid (i.e., levorotatory, or left-turning, or negative (-) lactic acid). This caustic acid can be neutralized by taking in large amounts of highly alkaline foods and drinks (see Item 6 below) or by neutralizing it with dex-lactic acid (i.e., dextrorotatory, or right-turning, or positive (+) lactic acid). To supply ample amounts of dex-lactic acid, and neutralize the flood of lev-lactic acid produced by cancer cells, drink at least 1 cup of kombucha or fermented cabbage juice (sauerkraut juice) per day. Best to drink this some time in the morning, on an empty stomach.
It is also quite helpful to do a few minutes of “burn” exercise (morning and evening). The burn you feel from this kind of exercise is the body producing beneficial dex-lactic acid (to bring more oxygen into the muscle cells).
Taking dex-lactic acid dairy products, such as yogurt or kefir (which is yogurt or kefir made from primarily dex-lactic acid strains) is also helpful. Dex-lactic acid strains include: L. Sporogenes, Lactobacillus Casei, Streptococcus Lactis, Streptococcus thermophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum or Bifodobacterium longum CKL 1969 (DSM 2054), and Lactobacillus Salivarius.
There is no labeling or standardization in regards to the dex-lactic acid content of dairy products in the USA (through certain brands in Europe and Australia certify that their product is at least 95% dex-lactic acid).
Drinking small amounts of warm water throughout the day helps the body to eliminate acidic waste produced by cancer cells.
Another method to neutralize acid (at the cellular level) is to take a five-week course of Pleo-Sanuvis. This is a homeopathic dex-lactic acid preparation that raises the acid level of the blood and correspondingly lowers the acid level of the cells.
From Diagnosis: Cancer, by Dr. Waltraut Fryda
Acid-Alkali Ratio
"A cancer patient always suffers from over-acidification of the tissues. In order to deprive the tumour of a favourable environment, the tissue-pH value must be changed from acid to alkaline. This is easier said than done because all alkaline-forming nutrition loses its intended effect soon after entering the bloodstream, as it is used up in the blood for buffering, before it can reach the tissue. The organism (body) always endeavours via appropriate regulating mechanisms to maintain the blood-pH value at around 7.4, which is absolutely essential for the stability of hormones, in particular adrenaline. A brief recapitulation of the law of reversed proportionality of pH value changes in blood and tissue: if the blood-pH value drops, the tissue-pH value rises (and vice versa). This gives us a kind of lever: it should be possible to indirectly raise an unhealthy acid-tissue-pH value by lowering the slightly alkaline blood-pH value.
"Over-acidification of tissue is prevented in a healthy organism (body) by the dextrorotatory lactic acid that is constantly produced by movement and suitable nutrition. This, therefore, indicates that an input of optically dextrorotatory lactic acid is needed. This may seem like a contradiction to the layman, in that tissue is to be de-acidified by administering an acid. The paradox disappears, however, if all interrelations are kept in mind.
Acidification of the blood by means of dextrorotatory lactic acid lowers the blood-pH value until it and the tissue-pH value reach the same level. This takes precisely five weeks in cancer patients who are administered an appropriate dose of dextrorotatory lactic acid (thirty drops, three times daily). This has been confirmed time and again by my own measurements over many years of the blood-pH value.
"During the period from the first until approximately the fourth day in week 6, the acid substances will be discharged from the tissue into the blood, the pH value of which drops for a short time to very low values. The excretion of the pathological substances of the tissue via blood, liver, kidneys, and skin during this period is apparent from an entirely pungent and acid smell.
"The continued supply of dextrorotatory lactic acid finally ensures an unproblematic and physiological restitution and maintenance of a blood-pH value of 7.4 and a tissue –pH value above that figure. This will remove a critical precondition for continued growth of a tumour in a cancer patient, namely the acid environment. Kidneys and liver are now capable of carrying out their full detoxification functions, thereby, laying the foundations for a safe removal of subsequently occurring disintegration products of a malignant tumour.
"Finally, dextrorotatory lactic acid also causes the biological neutralization of the toxic, levorotatory lactic acid of the tumour into a non-toxic, racemic form. This is of utmost importance, as it removes the stimulus for an increase in the cell division rate. Normalising the acid-alkali balance also stimulates adrenaline production and improves its effectiveness, an equally important precondition for a healthy (aerobic) metabolism."
Protocol:
Self-administering dextrorotatory lactic acid (Pleo-Sanuvis) is very easy. Simply take 30 drops (1/2 a teaspoon) orally 3 times daily, on an empty stomach. A 100ml bottle will cost around $40 and will last for 2 weeks. In order to restore the acid-alkaline balance, on the cellular level, you will need to follow this protocol for at least 5 weeks (which means you will need to purchase 3 bottles). It's advisable to continue taking Pleo-Sanuvis, at a dose of 1/2 teaspoon per day, thereafter. Or, you can discontinue using Pleo-Sanuvis if you are regularly consuming dex-lactic acid in the form of Kombucha, sauerkraut juice, or dex-lactic acid dairy products such as kefir, yogurt, whey, or sour cream.
Additional Material
"Lactic acid is the functional element of growth in nature and the regenerative component for damaged plant and animal cells. It’s the lack of the presence of nature-grown lactic acid in our daily diet that is the real problem.”
(Dr. Johannes Kuhl, Checkmate to Cancer)
Dr. Kuhl is working from within the framework of isopathic law, which holds that a disease contains the means for its cure in its own causative agent, when he suggests that fermented milk products are invaluable as a preventive and healing agent in disease. According to isopathic law, lactic acid from ferments like kefir removes excess lactic acid from body cells. Therapeutic administrations of lactic acid-fermented foods are therefore curative of body cells that are “fermenting.” Following the isopathic law that was first applied by Hippocrates and reaffirmed by Paracelsus, Robert Koch and Pasteur, Dr. Kuhl recommends to start cancer treatment with a weak but frequent dose of lactic acid, which should then be gradually increased. Says he, “In tumor treatment we must treat the very formation of cell life; respiration and fermentation.”
It is only possible to treat cell respiration indirectly, so as to avoid destroying or paralyzing the cell. This is best accomplished through the ingestion of lactic acid-fermented foods. Latest scientific findings suggest that it is best to introduce lactic acid-fermented foods from a variety of sources, e.g., kefir, kombucha, lactic acid-fermented fruits, lactic acid-fermented vegetables, etc. (from: Klaus Kaufman, Kefir Rediscovered)
2. Restore Cellular Respiration (and the enzyme cytochrome a/a3)
Take Zell Oxygen (in the recommended amounts). The activity of Zell Oxygen is greatly enhanced when combined with royal jelly.
Eat foods that are hydrogen acceptors in order to activate cellular respiration. Particularly take a) beet crystals (or organic beet juice powder), b) flavanoids (blueberry, cherries; also grapes, blackberries, and raspberries), c) bromelain (+quercitin). It would also be beneficial to add beta carotene (carrots or carrot juice), propolis, and/or squalene (found in wheat germ oil and olive oil), all of which are hydrogen acceptors.
Dr. Seeger recommended taking Beetroot Juice + Dex-Lactic Acid + black currant juice (for a Vitamin C base) in order to powerfully restore oxidative enzymes. (See: Seeger Protocol)
Groil Sauce + Vegetables specifically activates cellular respiration (in accord with Dr. Seeger's protocol, outlined above). Major components of Groil Souce include: a) Beet Juice Powder, b) Sour Cream (which supplies dex-lactic acid), c) hemp oil, d) garlic, e) alfalfa and barley grass juice powder, f) chlorella, and g) vegetables supplying vitamin C, such as broccoli, red peppers, and asparagus. (The best way to take in a neutral form of vitamin C, which is a form of vitamin C that the body can use even when it is acidic, is scallion soup. Vitamin C, which is an acid, will not be properly utilized by the body when it is overly acidic.)
Zell Oxygen (From the writings of Dr. Seeger)
“Zell Oxygen, on the one hand, provides the building substances needed to build-up and regeneration of the respiratory enzymes such as porphyrin, cytochrome, cysteine, glutathione, lysine, methionine, choline, but on the other hand has stimulating effect on cyto-respiration, a metabolic effect on the fibroblasts, on the intestinal flora, and a detoxifying effect on the body as a whole.”
“In biochemical terms, the highly active yeast cells of Zell Oxygen with their vital enzymes and redox systems, regenerate the respiratory ferment systems in the mitochondria of the cells and optimize utilization of the cells. (Seeger, p. 76)
“The combination of Zell Oxygen and royal jelly rapidly activates cyto-respiration. However, this is dependent upon a temperature above 35 C (95F).
“According to Wieland’s dehydration theory the first step of oxidation is removal of hydrogen. Seeger and Schact therefore used strong hydrogen acceptors (dyestuffs and natural substances) in combination with hydrogen donors. The coloring of beetroot, then, is a natural substance that is a strong hydrogen acceptor. . . . . Seeger and Schact found that combinations of beetroot juice with dextrorotatory lactic acid and ascorbic acid were capable of activating the respiration of highly virulent cancer cells by 500-1000% and even by 1250% in a sugar-free medium. (Seeger, p. 82-83)
“The combination of dextrorotatory lactic acid with calcium as calcium L(+) lactate potentiates the oxidative effect of the colouring matter of beetroot in the same way as ascorbic acid.”
“The fact that yeast cells include agents stimulating the growth of connective tissue has been recognized quite early. It has been observed that yeast stimulated the connective tissue growing like a wedge into the decomposing cancerous tissue. (S. 55)
“Heparin sodium brings about disintegration of the allergic complement and thus counteracts the allergy of cancer patients to their own cancer poison. Potassium and magnesium stabilize the disturbed electrolyte balance of the cancer cell since, after all, Seeger demonstrated hitochemically in 1939 that in the course of the carcinolytic degeneration of cells potassium diffuses out of the cells whereas sodium diffuses in parallel into the cells. Aspartic acid acts as an electrolyte carrier for potassium and magnesium through the cell membrane. All ingredients are stabilized in black currant juice which contains a large quantity of Vitamin C. (Seeger, 83-4)
"Bromelain together with Zell Oxygen improves blood flow by elimination of the latent foci of inflammation." (Seeger, 78)
“Elimination of chronic, concealed, latent inflammation may be carried out with bactericide agents in food. These include garlic, black radish, peppermint tea, onions, beetroot juice, and all products of (+) lactic acid."

Fosube Shake and Oxidative Enzymes
The combination of flaxseed oil and sulfur protein (as found in the Fosube Shake and the Flaxseed Oil + Cottage Cheese combination used in the Budwig Protocol) not only restores the di-polar charge and integrity of the cellular membrane (see Item 5 below), allowing the cell to draw in vast amounts of oxygen, it also enables the cell's respiratory enzymes:
"Without these fatty acids, the respiratory enzymes cannot function and the person suffocates, even when he is given oxygen-rich air. A deficiency in these highly unsaturated fatty-acids impairs many vital functions. First of all, it decreases the person's supply of available oxygen. We cannot survive without air and food; nor can we survive without these fatty acids. That has been proven long ago."
--- Johanna Budwig
To restore oxidative enzymes, use the Fosube Shake (or the Flaxseed Oil + Cottage Cheese Combination, as prescribed in the Budwig Protocol) two times per day, thus insuring that you consume at least 6 TBS of potentiated flaxseed oil per day.
3. Reduce Blood/Cellular Glucose Levels and Insulin Levels
Reduce your intake of carbohydrates and sugary foods (particularly wheat, processed sugar, and fruit juices) and adopt a balanced, low-carb diet. Over-consumption of protein also leads to increased insulin levels.
Some cancer specialists recommend that a person who is fighting cancer shift the whole of his or her cellular energy production from glucose to ketones. This is most effectively accomplished by fasting (a practice recommended by Dr. Thomas N. Seyfried) because this not only shifts the body from a glucose metabolism to a ketone metabolism, it also shifts the body (and cancer cells) away from using glutamine as an energy source. Glutamine is an amino acid that is present in a large number of foods. Metastatic cells, for example, and glioblastoma, the most deadly form of brain cancer, thrive on glutamine. For most people, however, a diet that severely restricts carbohydrates (and perhaps drastically reduces the intake of food high in glutamine, at least for a short period), and which shifts the body to a ketogenic state, will do much to arrest the spread of most forms of cancer. Healthy cells can use both glucose and ketones to create fuel whereas cancer cells can only metabolize glucose. Thus, as the theory goes, when the body is forced to utilize ketones in order to sustain itself (due to a lack of glucose) normal cells will continue to survive (and thrive!) whereas cancer cells will not. Simply put, in a ketogenic state cancer will have nothing to eat; they will have nothing by which they can produce energy and will not survive.
The general approach is to a) reduce or eliminate carbohydrates and high-starch vegetables (and especially negative carbs such as sugar, wheat and all wheat products, corn, etc.), b) consume moderate amounts of high-quality protein, 25-30 grams per day (more, if needed), and c) ample amounts of high-quality, omega-3 rich fats and oils. These oils are potentiated when combined with dairy products such as whey, cottage cheese, or sour cream. (Processed, commercial dairy products are particularly problematic; all dairy products should be organic and/or raw.)
A simple dietary plan would be to follow a low-carb, high-nutrient, fat-rich program (as outlined in the Dharma Diet and other health programs). This would involve having a Green Drink for the first meal of the day (breakfast), the Fosube Shake for the second meal (lunch), and Groil Sauce + Vegetables for the third meal (dinner). If your liver is in need of a rest (which is most probably is) it might be best to avoid snacking between meals.
The Budwig Diet is not specifically designed to lower glucose and insulin levels, however, if you choose that diet it might be best to steer away from high-sugar foods, and high-fructose foods, such as honey, apples, pears, agave, figs, etc.
Small portions of oatmeal, on occasion, may be helpful as oatmeal helps anchor beneficial bacteria in the colon. Once or twice a week may be helpful.
Drinking small amounts of warm water throughout the day, and remaining properly hydrated, helps the body to control blood-sugar balance.
Proper hormonal balance is often needed to regulate blood sugar levels, and especially important in this regard is the proper amounts of available testosterone. The high blood-sugars that often results from eating a high-carb, high-sugar diet (which is often the case with vegetarians) can, over time, wipe out the available testosterone. So, it is a vicious cycle. Restoring testosterone levels, through the use of herbs (such as saw palmetto extract) and co-factors (such as certain forms of DHEA) is often necessary, at least at the beginning. Besides, the benefits of more energy and a greater sense of well-being would be quite welcome. (If you are a woman, and have a concern, don't worry: at this stage, women need testosterone as much as, or even more so, than men).
4. Balance Sodium + Cellular Hydration
Decrease or eliminate table salt (and all forms of excess salt) and increase potassium intake (by eating lots of vegetables and potassium-rich foods) as well as taking potassium supplements (particularly in the form of potassium citrate), if needed. In addition, once the sodium-potassium ratio has been brought in to balance, drink water to properly hydrate the cells. Water follows sodium: too much sodium in the cells equals too much water; too much water hampers the cell's ability to attract oxygen. Drink warm water, in small amounts, throughout the day.
A central intent of the famous Gerson cancer program is to bring about a sodium-potassium balance within the cellular fluid. The program tries to accomplish this through a total elimination of all forms of sodium (even natural forms) and a major emphasis on the intake of potassium, which includes taking potassium supplements and also drinking 13 cups of potassium-rich juice per day. It is likely that the high amounts of cellular sodium, found in most cancer patients, is not solely caused by an excess of sodium in the diet but other factors, such as high cellular glucose levels. Thus, while the Gerson program is well worth studying, and the fundamental theories upon which the program is founded are quite sound (one being the importance of restoring the sodium-potassium within the cell) the actual means to accomplish these ends, as implemented by Gerson, is somewhat questionable. Perhaps during his time, when so few alternatives were available, the Gerson Program offered something of great value and hope. However, nowadays, with decades of new research and innovations, much better alternatives are available.
For a more complete discussion of some of the problems with the Gerson program, as I see it, see: Problems with Gerson.
5. Re-establish Integrity and Di-Polar Charge of Cellular Membrane
The most effective way to re-charge and re-invigorate the cellular membrane is with the intake of flaxseed oil and sulfur protein. (These are the two central ingredients of the Budwig Protocol and the Fosube Shake). In addition to these two fundamental ingredients, the Fosube Shake also includes fiber (ground or soaked flaxseeds / chia seeds), bee pollen (super-rich in rutin and B vitamins), flavanoids (found in blueberries, raspberries, pomegranate juice powder), raw honey, ellagic acid (found in raspberry seed powder), and diatomaceous earth (which removes parasites and cleanses the colon).
How the Fosube Shake works (in terms of oxygen and energy)
Each cell can be seen as an individual energy system. And with all energy systems, the higher the resistance (or difference in voltage) between the inside of the cell and the outside, the more energy the system can produce. In all cases, the cell wall must be properly formed for this difference in energy-potential to be active. The combination of flaxseed oil and sulfur protein is the most effective substance known for rebuilding the cell wall and creating a high-electron charge within each cell. This high-electron charge does two things: it brings more life-energy to each cell (and the entire body) and allows the cell to pull in sufficient amounts of oxygen. Cancer cells are anaerobic; they cannot exist in the presence of oxygen. That is why the major strategy for most cancer protocols is to find a way to bring oxygen into the cell. And a most effective way to do this is to use flaxseed oil plus sulfur protein.
It’s important to realize that the primary action of the flaxseed oil plus sulfur protein (which is the primary ingredient of the Fosube Shake) is not to “kill cancer” but to restore the entire body―both in terms of oxygen and electrons―to its natural level of health; and in this, high-energy, high-oxygen system cancer (which only flourishes in a low-energy, low-oxygen system) will simply not be able to exist.
6. Alkalinize and mineralize cells
The Combination of Groil Sauce + Vegetables, containing beet grass juice powder, alfalfa grass juice powder, and barley grass juice powder, is highly alkalinizing. In addition, Min-Col, a colloidal mineral supplement, should be taken with every meal. Additional mineralizing agents include, a) blackstrap molasses (2T/day) and b) Algazym, a de-salinated kelp supplement. Additional alkalinzing agents include Calcium, in the form of Calcium gluconate, citrate, and hydroxide. (See: Beddoe Protocol). Transdermal applications of Magnesium Chloride (to provide both magnesium and chloride), is also very helpful.
As mentioned earlier, cancer cells put out large amounts of lactic acid (in the form of lev-lactic) acid. In light of this massive acid attack, employing the usual methods of alkalinization, such as adopting an alkalinizing diet or taking akalinizing supplements, will not likely be sufficient to reverse this 24/7 outpouring of acidic waste into the body. Thus, in addition to using the usual alkalinizing methods, the addition of dex-lactic acid in the diet is most often required. Dex-lactic acid is the most effective agent to neutralize the lev-lactic acid produced by cancer cells.
Drinking small amounts of warm water throughout the day, and remaining properly hydrated, helps the body to remove excess acid from the blood. (Drinking too much water, however, without getting the proper amount of minerals, pulls minerals from the blood and strains the kidneys.)
When your body cells and tissue are acidic (below pH of 7.0), they lose their ability to exchange oxygen, and cancer cells are able to thrive.
On the other hand, when your body cells and tissue are alkaline (above pH of 7.0) cancer cells find it difficult to survive because of the high amount of oxygen present. Alkaline tissue holds 20 times more oxygen than does acidic tissue and this oxygen-rich environment prevents further cancer cell growth.
Another problem with overly acidic cells is that such an environment neutralizes the action of many key hormones (such as adrenaline) which can only operate in an alkaline environment. In addition, in cases of high or even moderate acidity, the body will not pick up or utilize Vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Taking large doses of Vitamin C when the body is alkaline can do wonders to enhance the immune system and help with blood sugar issues. Taking the same amounts of Vitamin C when the body is acidic only creates more acidic waste. There is, however, one exception to this: the body can pick up a neutral form of Vitamin C, especially as found in scallions (green onions), and to a lesser extent in regular onions and bell peppers. Having a scallion-based vegetable soup, a few times a week, can help supply the body with much-needed Vitamin C regardless of whether it is in an acid or alkaline condition. (See Section on: Groil Sauce for a basic recipe)
Sodium Bicarbonate / Cesium
Some people have found the use of sodium bicarbonate (2 teaspoons/day) + blackstrap molasses (2 teaspoons/day), used over the course of 10-12 days, forcefully alkalinizes the cells. When using this protocol you will have to monitor your urine pH levels. This protocol is remedial and not as effective in the long run as natural, more balanced protocols (using dex-lactic acid, grass juices, colloidal minerals, and sea vegetables); however, in severe cases (or in cases of severe pain) where the alkalinity of the cells must be raised rapidly this therapy may be beneficial. The same rapid alkalinization of the cells can also be accomplished using cesium chloride, in the amount of 2000mg 3x/day (for a total of 6000mg/day). These protocols should only be followed with expert guidance. In addition, both protocols deplete potassium levels; whenever using these protocols high doses of potassium must be taken.
Candida Albicans overgrowth is often a factor in systemic diseases, such as cancer, as Candida overgrowth debilitates the entire immune system. Taking large supplies of immune enhancing factors, without eliminating some of the root causes, and 24/7 toxic burdens on the immune system, is like aking one step forward and one step backwards. Many of the more effective anti-candida protocols (especially the protocols used by Dr. Ted from Thailand) involve a severe alkalinization of the body using sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, and potassium citrate (in the form of direct supplementation or lemon juice).
>> More on the use of Sodium Bicarbonate and Cesium
Additional Protocols: ___________________________________________
There are also many contributing factors that lead to systemic weakness and make the cells more vulnerable to diseased conditions. These include: a) Poor overall health, and a lack of minerals, b) Poor digestion, weak or sluggish liver, backed-up colon, adrenal exhaustion, hypothyroidism, weak immune system, etc., c) negative psychological states, such as fear, depression, isolation, hopelessness, confusion, apathy, etc., d) compromised or overly-burdened immune system, e) sluggish liver, and f) insulin resistance / metabolic syndrome.
7. Eat Right, Remineralize
An ample supply of minerals, in the right amounts, is needed by every cell in order to form new cells and produce oxidative enzymes.
8. Restore optimal function to the stomach, liver, colon, thyroid, and immune system
It's important to support the liver so that fats can be digested and utilized. THis can be accomplished by taking a) beet juice powder, b) lemon + water, c) alpha-lipoic acid, and d) herbs such as dandelion and milk thistle. Cleanse colon (and re-establish healthy bacteria) as part of overall liver detox.
An anti-candida protocol, which may include the use of iodine, colloidal silver (in an ionic form), and high doses of cellulase (combined with a low-carb diet), may also be helpful.
9. Detox
It's important to remove accumulated toxins through various detox methods, including chelation, sauna, deep-breathing, etc.
The Grass-Beet-Hemp Sauce (which is a main part of the Dharma Diet) can also be made with cilantro, chlorella, and garlic (all of which chelate heavy metals from the body).
10. Enhance Mental and Spiritual Well-Being
Remove deep-seated subconscious blocks
Align with the positive flow of Life
Align one’s heart and spirit with Universal Spirit
Cancer is a "low-energy" condition. Anything that lowers a person's overall energy, and connection with life---such as fear, stress, depression, loneliness, anger, poor health, psychological isolation, etc.---inclines someone toward the "low-life" condition of cancer. Anything that increases one's aliveness, joy, and sense of well-being, inclines someone toward a "high-energy," "high-life" condition---one in which cancer cannot survive. Thus, adopting a positive, fearless, life-aligned position with regards to your own health and healing is of paramount importance.
Other “Causes” or Cancer Conditions
Cancer Conditions are bodily conditions that allow cancer to develop but do not directly relate to the Primary Cause (i.e., to the reduction of oxygen at the cellular level). Rather, these conditions reduce the body’s ability to keep cancer in check or fight cancer once it has developed. The most prominent Cancer Conditions are, a) a depletion or breakdown of the immune system, and b) a debilitation of the pancreas (and its inability to produce sufficient amounts of pancreatic enzymes.) Less specific Cancer Conditions could include poor liver or thyroid function, poor digestion (and the inability to uptake nutrients), heavy metal toxicity (which debilitates hormone function), high acidity, poor diet, etc.
A person may develop cancer, as a result of one or more secondary causes but still not develop a tumor mass if the body’s ability to fight the cancer, remain strong. The primary treatments based on Cancer Conditions include: a) enhancing the immune system, b) restoring pancreatic function, and providing mega-doses of proteolytic enzymes, and c) improving liver function, thyroid function, and overall health.
Additional Supplements:
1. Apricot seeds, 12-20/ day
2. MMS, to support the immune system.
3. Pancreatic Enzymes (Kelley), or Serrapeptase, enough to clean up or “digest” circulating toxins.
4. Magnesium Chloride (transdermal or bath), to help rectify a case of severe magnesium deficiency.
5. Ellagic Acid (found in red raspberry seeds), 2 tsp/day
6. Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP), 10-30 gms /day
6. Iodide/Iodine Solution (4mg-8mg day)
7. Potassium Citrate (to balance high sodium and increase blood flow)
8. Alpha-lipoic acid (for liver support)
9. CoQ10 (for oxidative support)
10. Pure Cannabis Extract
Specific Protocols
(to increase cellular oxygen levels and restore overall health)
1. Neutralize Lev-Lactic Acid (produced by cancer cells) with Dex-Lactic Acid
Cancer cells produce lev-lactic acid (i.e., levorotatory, or left-turning, or negative (-) lactic acid). This caustic acid can be neutralized by taking in large amounts of highly alkaline foods and drinks (see Item 6 below) or by neutralizing it with dex-lactic acid (i.e., dextrorotatory, or right-turning, or positive (+) lactic acid). To supply ample amounts of dex-lactic acid, and neutralize the flood of lev-lactic acid produced by cancer cells, drink at least 1 cup of kombucha or fermented cabbage juice (sauerkraut juice) per day. Best to drink this some time in the morning, on an empty stomach.
It is also quite helpful to do a few minutes of “burn” exercise (morning and evening). The burn you feel from this kind of exercise is the body producing beneficial dex-lactic acid (to bring more oxygen into the muscle cells).
Taking dex-lactic acid dairy products, such as yogurt or kefir (which is yogurt or kefir made from primarily dex-lactic acid strains) is also helpful. Dex-lactic acid strains include: L. Sporogenes, Lactobacillus Casei, Streptococcus Lactis, Streptococcus thermophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum or Bifodobacterium longum CKL 1969 (DSM 2054), and Lactobacillus Salivarius.
There is no labeling or standardization in regards to the dex-lactic acid content of dairy products in the USA (through certain brands in Europe and Australia certify that their product is at least 95% dex-lactic acid).
Drinking small amounts of warm water throughout the day helps the body to eliminate acidic waste produced by cancer cells.
Another method to neutralize acid (at the cellular level) is to take a five-week course of Pleo-Sanuvis. This is a homeopathic dex-lactic acid preparation that raises the acid level of the blood and correspondingly lowers the acid level of the cells.
From Diagnosis: Cancer, by Dr. Waltraut Fryda
Acid-Alkali Ratio
"A cancer patient always suffers from over-acidification of the tissues. In order to deprive the tumour of a favourable environment, the tissue-pH value must be changed from acid to alkaline. This is easier said than done because all alkaline-forming nutrition loses its intended effect soon after entering the bloodstream, as it is used up in the blood for buffering, before it can reach the tissue. The organism (body) always endeavours via appropriate regulating mechanisms to maintain the blood-pH value at around 7.4, which is absolutely essential for the stability of hormones, in particular adrenaline. A brief recapitulation of the law of reversed proportionality of pH value changes in blood and tissue: if the blood-pH value drops, the tissue-pH value rises (and vice versa). This gives us a kind of lever: it should be possible to indirectly raise an unhealthy acid-tissue-pH value by lowering the slightly alkaline blood-pH value.
"Over-acidification of tissue is prevented in a healthy organism (body) by the dextrorotatory lactic acid that is constantly produced by movement and suitable nutrition. This, therefore, indicates that an input of optically dextrorotatory lactic acid is needed. This may seem like a contradiction to the layman, in that tissue is to be de-acidified by administering an acid. The paradox disappears, however, if all interrelations are kept in mind.
Acidification of the blood by means of dextrorotatory lactic acid lowers the blood-pH value until it and the tissue-pH value reach the same level. This takes precisely five weeks in cancer patients who are administered an appropriate dose of dextrorotatory lactic acid (thirty drops, three times daily). This has been confirmed time and again by my own measurements over many years of the blood-pH value.
"During the period from the first until approximately the fourth day in week 6, the acid substances will be discharged from the tissue into the blood, the pH value of which drops for a short time to very low values. The excretion of the pathological substances of the tissue via blood, liver, kidneys, and skin during this period is apparent from an entirely pungent and acid smell.
"The continued supply of dextrorotatory lactic acid finally ensures an unproblematic and physiological restitution and maintenance of a blood-pH value of 7.4 and a tissue –pH value above that figure. This will remove a critical precondition for continued growth of a tumour in a cancer patient, namely the acid environment. Kidneys and liver are now capable of carrying out their full detoxification functions, thereby, laying the foundations for a safe removal of subsequently occurring disintegration products of a malignant tumour.
"Finally, dextrorotatory lactic acid also causes the biological neutralization of the toxic, levorotatory lactic acid of the tumour into a non-toxic, racemic form. This is of utmost importance, as it removes the stimulus for an increase in the cell division rate. Normalising the acid-alkali balance also stimulates adrenaline production and improves its effectiveness, an equally important precondition for a healthy (aerobic) metabolism."
Protocol:
Self-administering dextrorotatory lactic acid (Pleo-Sanuvis) is very easy. Simply take 30 drops (1/2 a teaspoon) orally 3 times daily, on an empty stomach. A 100ml bottle will cost around $40 and will last for 2 weeks. In order to restore the acid-alkaline balance, on the cellular level, you will need to follow this protocol for at least 5 weeks (which means you will need to purchase 3 bottles). It's advisable to continue taking Pleo-Sanuvis, at a dose of 1/2 teaspoon per day, thereafter. Or, you can discontinue using Pleo-Sanuvis if you are regularly consuming dex-lactic acid in the form of Kombucha, sauerkraut juice, or dex-lactic acid dairy products such as kefir, yogurt, whey, or sour cream.
Additional Material
"Lactic acid is the functional element of growth in nature and the regenerative component for damaged plant and animal cells. It’s the lack of the presence of nature-grown lactic acid in our daily diet that is the real problem.”
(Dr. Johannes Kuhl, Checkmate to Cancer)
Dr. Kuhl is working from within the framework of isopathic law, which holds that a disease contains the means for its cure in its own causative agent, when he suggests that fermented milk products are invaluable as a preventive and healing agent in disease. According to isopathic law, lactic acid from ferments like kefir removes excess lactic acid from body cells. Therapeutic administrations of lactic acid-fermented foods are therefore curative of body cells that are “fermenting.” Following the isopathic law that was first applied by Hippocrates and reaffirmed by Paracelsus, Robert Koch and Pasteur, Dr. Kuhl recommends to start cancer treatment with a weak but frequent dose of lactic acid, which should then be gradually increased. Says he, “In tumor treatment we must treat the very formation of cell life; respiration and fermentation.”
It is only possible to treat cell respiration indirectly, so as to avoid destroying or paralyzing the cell. This is best accomplished through the ingestion of lactic acid-fermented foods. Latest scientific findings suggest that it is best to introduce lactic acid-fermented foods from a variety of sources, e.g., kefir, kombucha, lactic acid-fermented fruits, lactic acid-fermented vegetables, etc. (from: Klaus Kaufman, Kefir Rediscovered)
2. Restore Cellular Respiration (and the enzyme cytochrome a/a3)
Take Zell Oxygen (in the recommended amounts). The activity of Zell Oxygen is greatly enhanced when combined with royal jelly.
Eat foods that are hydrogen acceptors in order to activate cellular respiration. Particularly take a) beet crystals (or organic beet juice powder), b) flavanoids (blueberry, cherries; also grapes, blackberries, and raspberries), c) bromelain (+quercitin). It would also be beneficial to add beta carotene (carrots or carrot juice), propolis, and/or squalene (found in wheat germ oil and olive oil), all of which are hydrogen acceptors.
Dr. Seeger recommended taking Beetroot Juice + Dex-Lactic Acid + black currant juice (for a Vitamin C base) in order to powerfully restore oxidative enzymes. (See: Seeger Protocol)
Groil Sauce + Vegetables specifically activates cellular respiration (in accord with Dr. Seeger's protocol, outlined above). Major components of Groil Souce include: a) Beet Juice Powder, b) Sour Cream (which supplies dex-lactic acid), c) hemp oil, d) garlic, e) alfalfa and barley grass juice powder, f) chlorella, and g) vegetables supplying vitamin C, such as broccoli, red peppers, and asparagus. (The best way to take in a neutral form of vitamin C, which is a form of vitamin C that the body can use even when it is acidic, is scallion soup. Vitamin C, which is an acid, will not be properly utilized by the body when it is overly acidic.)
Zell Oxygen (From the writings of Dr. Seeger)
“Zell Oxygen, on the one hand, provides the building substances needed to build-up and regeneration of the respiratory enzymes such as porphyrin, cytochrome, cysteine, glutathione, lysine, methionine, choline, but on the other hand has stimulating effect on cyto-respiration, a metabolic effect on the fibroblasts, on the intestinal flora, and a detoxifying effect on the body as a whole.”
“In biochemical terms, the highly active yeast cells of Zell Oxygen with their vital enzymes and redox systems, regenerate the respiratory ferment systems in the mitochondria of the cells and optimize utilization of the cells. (Seeger, p. 76)
“The combination of Zell Oxygen and royal jelly rapidly activates cyto-respiration. However, this is dependent upon a temperature above 35 C (95F).
“According to Wieland’s dehydration theory the first step of oxidation is removal of hydrogen. Seeger and Schact therefore used strong hydrogen acceptors (dyestuffs and natural substances) in combination with hydrogen donors. The coloring of beetroot, then, is a natural substance that is a strong hydrogen acceptor. . . . . Seeger and Schact found that combinations of beetroot juice with dextrorotatory lactic acid and ascorbic acid were capable of activating the respiration of highly virulent cancer cells by 500-1000% and even by 1250% in a sugar-free medium. (Seeger, p. 82-83)
“The combination of dextrorotatory lactic acid with calcium as calcium L(+) lactate potentiates the oxidative effect of the colouring matter of beetroot in the same way as ascorbic acid.”
“The fact that yeast cells include agents stimulating the growth of connective tissue has been recognized quite early. It has been observed that yeast stimulated the connective tissue growing like a wedge into the decomposing cancerous tissue. (S. 55)
“Heparin sodium brings about disintegration of the allergic complement and thus counteracts the allergy of cancer patients to their own cancer poison. Potassium and magnesium stabilize the disturbed electrolyte balance of the cancer cell since, after all, Seeger demonstrated hitochemically in 1939 that in the course of the carcinolytic degeneration of cells potassium diffuses out of the cells whereas sodium diffuses in parallel into the cells. Aspartic acid acts as an electrolyte carrier for potassium and magnesium through the cell membrane. All ingredients are stabilized in black currant juice which contains a large quantity of Vitamin C. (Seeger, 83-4)
"Bromelain together with Zell Oxygen improves blood flow by elimination of the latent foci of inflammation." (Seeger, 78)
“Elimination of chronic, concealed, latent inflammation may be carried out with bactericide agents in food. These include garlic, black radish, peppermint tea, onions, beetroot juice, and all products of (+) lactic acid."

Fosube Shake and Oxidative Enzymes
The combination of flaxseed oil and sulfur protein (as found in the Fosube Shake and the Flaxseed Oil + Cottage Cheese combination used in the Budwig Protocol) not only restores the di-polar charge and integrity of the cellular membrane (see Item 5 below), allowing the cell to draw in vast amounts of oxygen, it also enables the cell's respiratory enzymes:
"Without these fatty acids, the respiratory enzymes cannot function and the person suffocates, even when he is given oxygen-rich air. A deficiency in these highly unsaturated fatty-acids impairs many vital functions. First of all, it decreases the person's supply of available oxygen. We cannot survive without air and food; nor can we survive without these fatty acids. That has been proven long ago."
--- Johanna Budwig
To restore oxidative enzymes, use the Fosube Shake (or the Flaxseed Oil + Cottage Cheese Combination, as prescribed in the Budwig Protocol) two times per day, thus insuring that you consume at least 6 TBS of potentiated flaxseed oil per day.
3. Reduce Blood/Cellular Glucose Levels and Insulin Levels
Reduce your intake of carbohydrates and sugary foods (particularly wheat, processed sugar, and fruit juices) and adopt a balanced, low-carb diet. Over-consumption of protein also leads to increased insulin levels.
Some cancer specialists recommend that a person who is fighting cancer shift the whole of his or her cellular energy production from glucose to ketones. This is most effectively accomplished by fasting (a practice recommended by Dr. Thomas N. Seyfried) because this not only shifts the body from a glucose metabolism to a ketone metabolism, it also shifts the body (and cancer cells) away from using glutamine as an energy source. Glutamine is an amino acid that is present in a large number of foods. Metastatic cells, for example, and glioblastoma, the most deadly form of brain cancer, thrive on glutamine. For most people, however, a diet that severely restricts carbohydrates (and perhaps drastically reduces the intake of food high in glutamine, at least for a short period), and which shifts the body to a ketogenic state, will do much to arrest the spread of most forms of cancer. Healthy cells can use both glucose and ketones to create fuel whereas cancer cells can only metabolize glucose. Thus, as the theory goes, when the body is forced to utilize ketones in order to sustain itself (due to a lack of glucose) normal cells will continue to survive (and thrive!) whereas cancer cells will not. Simply put, in a ketogenic state cancer will have nothing to eat; they will have nothing by which they can produce energy and will not survive.
The general approach is to a) reduce or eliminate carbohydrates and high-starch vegetables (and especially negative carbs such as sugar, wheat and all wheat products, corn, etc.), b) consume moderate amounts of high-quality protein, 25-30 grams per day (more, if needed), and c) ample amounts of high-quality, omega-3 rich fats and oils. These oils are potentiated when combined with dairy products such as whey, cottage cheese, or sour cream. (Processed, commercial dairy products are particularly problematic; all dairy products should be organic and/or raw.)
A simple dietary plan would be to follow a low-carb, high-nutrient, fat-rich program (as outlined in the Dharma Diet and other health programs). This would involve having a Green Drink for the first meal of the day (breakfast), the Fosube Shake for the second meal (lunch), and Groil Sauce + Vegetables for the third meal (dinner). If your liver is in need of a rest (which is most probably is) it might be best to avoid snacking between meals.
The Budwig Diet is not specifically designed to lower glucose and insulin levels, however, if you choose that diet it might be best to steer away from high-sugar foods, and high-fructose foods, such as honey, apples, pears, agave, figs, etc.
Small portions of oatmeal, on occasion, may be helpful as oatmeal helps anchor beneficial bacteria in the colon. Once or twice a week may be helpful.
Drinking small amounts of warm water throughout the day, and remaining properly hydrated, helps the body to control blood-sugar balance.
Proper hormonal balance is often needed to regulate blood sugar levels, and especially important in this regard is the proper amounts of available testosterone. The high blood-sugars that often results from eating a high-carb, high-sugar diet (which is often the case with vegetarians) can, over time, wipe out the available testosterone. So, it is a vicious cycle. Restoring testosterone levels, through the use of herbs (such as saw palmetto extract) and co-factors (such as certain forms of DHEA) is often necessary, at least at the beginning. Besides, the benefits of more energy and a greater sense of well-being would be quite welcome. (If you are a woman, and have a concern, don't worry: at this stage, women need testosterone as much as, or even more so, than men).
4. Balance Sodium + Cellular Hydration
Decrease or eliminate table salt (and all forms of excess salt) and increase potassium intake (by eating lots of vegetables and potassium-rich foods) as well as taking potassium supplements (particularly in the form of potassium citrate), if needed. In addition, once the sodium-potassium ratio has been brought in to balance, drink water to properly hydrate the cells. Water follows sodium: too much sodium in the cells equals too much water; too much water hampers the cell's ability to attract oxygen. Drink warm water, in small amounts, throughout the day.
A central intent of the famous Gerson cancer program is to bring about a sodium-potassium balance within the cellular fluid. The program tries to accomplish this through a total elimination of all forms of sodium (even natural forms) and a major emphasis on the intake of potassium, which includes taking potassium supplements and also drinking 13 cups of potassium-rich juice per day. It is likely that the high amounts of cellular sodium, found in most cancer patients, is not solely caused by an excess of sodium in the diet but other factors, such as high cellular glucose levels. Thus, while the Gerson program is well worth studying, and the fundamental theories upon which the program is founded are quite sound (one being the importance of restoring the sodium-potassium within the cell) the actual means to accomplish these ends, as implemented by Gerson, is somewhat questionable. Perhaps during his time, when so few alternatives were available, the Gerson Program offered something of great value and hope. However, nowadays, with decades of new research and innovations, much better alternatives are available.
For a more complete discussion of some of the problems with the Gerson program, as I see it, see: Problems with Gerson.
5. Re-establish Integrity and Di-Polar Charge of Cellular Membrane
The most effective way to re-charge and re-invigorate the cellular membrane is with the intake of flaxseed oil and sulfur protein. (These are the two central ingredients of the Budwig Protocol and the Fosube Shake). In addition to these two fundamental ingredients, the Fosube Shake also includes fiber (ground or soaked flaxseeds / chia seeds), bee pollen (super-rich in rutin and B vitamins), flavanoids (found in blueberries, raspberries, pomegranate juice powder), raw honey, ellagic acid (found in raspberry seed powder), and diatomaceous earth (which removes parasites and cleanses the colon).
How the Fosube Shake works (in terms of oxygen and energy)
Each cell can be seen as an individual energy system. And with all energy systems, the higher the resistance (or difference in voltage) between the inside of the cell and the outside, the more energy the system can produce. In all cases, the cell wall must be properly formed for this difference in energy-potential to be active. The combination of flaxseed oil and sulfur protein is the most effective substance known for rebuilding the cell wall and creating a high-electron charge within each cell. This high-electron charge does two things: it brings more life-energy to each cell (and the entire body) and allows the cell to pull in sufficient amounts of oxygen. Cancer cells are anaerobic; they cannot exist in the presence of oxygen. That is why the major strategy for most cancer protocols is to find a way to bring oxygen into the cell. And a most effective way to do this is to use flaxseed oil plus sulfur protein.
It’s important to realize that the primary action of the flaxseed oil plus sulfur protein (which is the primary ingredient of the Fosube Shake) is not to “kill cancer” but to restore the entire body―both in terms of oxygen and electrons―to its natural level of health; and in this, high-energy, high-oxygen system cancer (which only flourishes in a low-energy, low-oxygen system) will simply not be able to exist.
6. Alkalinize and mineralize cells
The Combination of Groil Sauce + Vegetables, containing beet grass juice powder, alfalfa grass juice powder, and barley grass juice powder, is highly alkalinizing. In addition, Min-Col, a colloidal mineral supplement, should be taken with every meal. Additional mineralizing agents include, a) blackstrap molasses (2T/day) and b) Algazym, a de-salinated kelp supplement. Additional alkalinzing agents include Calcium, in the form of Calcium gluconate, citrate, and hydroxide. (See: Beddoe Protocol). Transdermal applications of Magnesium Chloride (to provide both magnesium and chloride), is also very helpful.
As mentioned earlier, cancer cells put out large amounts of lactic acid (in the form of lev-lactic) acid. In light of this massive acid attack, employing the usual methods of alkalinization, such as adopting an alkalinizing diet or taking akalinizing supplements, will not likely be sufficient to reverse this 24/7 outpouring of acidic waste into the body. Thus, in addition to using the usual alkalinizing methods, the addition of dex-lactic acid in the diet is most often required. Dex-lactic acid is the most effective agent to neutralize the lev-lactic acid produced by cancer cells.
Drinking small amounts of warm water throughout the day, and remaining properly hydrated, helps the body to remove excess acid from the blood. (Drinking too much water, however, without getting the proper amount of minerals, pulls minerals from the blood and strains the kidneys.)
When your body cells and tissue are acidic (below pH of 7.0), they lose their ability to exchange oxygen, and cancer cells are able to thrive.
On the other hand, when your body cells and tissue are alkaline (above pH of 7.0) cancer cells find it difficult to survive because of the high amount of oxygen present. Alkaline tissue holds 20 times more oxygen than does acidic tissue and this oxygen-rich environment prevents further cancer cell growth.
Another problem with overly acidic cells is that such an environment neutralizes the action of many key hormones (such as adrenaline) which can only operate in an alkaline environment. In addition, in cases of high or even moderate acidity, the body will not pick up or utilize Vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Taking large doses of Vitamin C when the body is alkaline can do wonders to enhance the immune system and help with blood sugar issues. Taking the same amounts of Vitamin C when the body is acidic only creates more acidic waste. There is, however, one exception to this: the body can pick up a neutral form of Vitamin C, especially as found in scallions (green onions), and to a lesser extent in regular onions and bell peppers. Having a scallion-based vegetable soup, a few times a week, can help supply the body with much-needed Vitamin C regardless of whether it is in an acid or alkaline condition. (See Section on: Groil Sauce for a basic recipe)
Sodium Bicarbonate / Cesium
Some people have found the use of sodium bicarbonate (2 teaspoons/day) + blackstrap molasses (2 teaspoons/day), used over the course of 10-12 days, forcefully alkalinizes the cells. When using this protocol you will have to monitor your urine pH levels. This protocol is remedial and not as effective in the long run as natural, more balanced protocols (using dex-lactic acid, grass juices, colloidal minerals, and sea vegetables); however, in severe cases (or in cases of severe pain) where the alkalinity of the cells must be raised rapidly this therapy may be beneficial. The same rapid alkalinization of the cells can also be accomplished using cesium chloride, in the amount of 2000mg 3x/day (for a total of 6000mg/day). These protocols should only be followed with expert guidance. In addition, both protocols deplete potassium levels; whenever using these protocols high doses of potassium must be taken.
Candida Albicans overgrowth is often a factor in systemic diseases, such as cancer, as Candida overgrowth debilitates the entire immune system. Taking large supplies of immune enhancing factors, without eliminating some of the root causes, and 24/7 toxic burdens on the immune system, is like aking one step forward and one step backwards. Many of the more effective anti-candida protocols (especially the protocols used by Dr. Ted from Thailand) involve a severe alkalinization of the body using sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, and potassium citrate (in the form of direct supplementation or lemon juice).
>> More on the use of Sodium Bicarbonate and Cesium
Additional Protocols: ___________________________________________
There are also many contributing factors that lead to systemic weakness and make the cells more vulnerable to diseased conditions. These include: a) Poor overall health, and a lack of minerals, b) Poor digestion, weak or sluggish liver, backed-up colon, adrenal exhaustion, hypothyroidism, weak immune system, etc., c) negative psychological states, such as fear, depression, isolation, hopelessness, confusion, apathy, etc., d) compromised or overly-burdened immune system, e) sluggish liver, and f) insulin resistance / metabolic syndrome.
7. Eat Right, Remineralize
An ample supply of minerals, in the right amounts, is needed by every cell in order to form new cells and produce oxidative enzymes.
8. Restore optimal function to the stomach, liver, colon, thyroid, and immune system
It's important to support the liver so that fats can be digested and utilized. THis can be accomplished by taking a) beet juice powder, b) lemon + water, c) alpha-lipoic acid, and d) herbs such as dandelion and milk thistle. Cleanse colon (and re-establish healthy bacteria) as part of overall liver detox.
An anti-candida protocol, which may include the use of iodine, colloidal silver (in an ionic form), and high doses of cellulase (combined with a low-carb diet), may also be helpful.
9. Detox
It's important to remove accumulated toxins through various detox methods, including chelation, sauna, deep-breathing, etc.
The Grass-Beet-Hemp Sauce (which is a main part of the Dharma Diet) can also be made with cilantro, chlorella, and garlic (all of which chelate heavy metals from the body).
10. Enhance Mental and Spiritual Well-Being
Remove deep-seated subconscious blocks
Align with the positive flow of Life
Align one’s heart and spirit with Universal Spirit
Cancer is a "low-energy" condition. Anything that lowers a person's overall energy, and connection with life---such as fear, stress, depression, loneliness, anger, poor health, psychological isolation, etc.---inclines someone toward the "low-life" condition of cancer. Anything that increases one's aliveness, joy, and sense of well-being, inclines someone toward a "high-energy," "high-life" condition---one in which cancer cannot survive. Thus, adopting a positive, fearless, life-aligned position with regards to your own health and healing is of paramount importance.
Other “Causes” or Cancer Conditions
Cancer Conditions are bodily conditions that allow cancer to develop but do not directly relate to the Primary Cause (i.e., to the reduction of oxygen at the cellular level). Rather, these conditions reduce the body’s ability to keep cancer in check or fight cancer once it has developed. The most prominent Cancer Conditions are, a) a depletion or breakdown of the immune system, and b) a debilitation of the pancreas (and its inability to produce sufficient amounts of pancreatic enzymes.) Less specific Cancer Conditions could include poor liver or thyroid function, poor digestion (and the inability to uptake nutrients), heavy metal toxicity (which debilitates hormone function), high acidity, poor diet, etc.
A person may develop cancer, as a result of one or more secondary causes but still not develop a tumor mass if the body’s ability to fight the cancer, remain strong. The primary treatments based on Cancer Conditions include: a) enhancing the immune system, b) restoring pancreatic function, and providing mega-doses of proteolytic enzymes, and c) improving liver function, thyroid function, and overall health.
Additional Supplements:
1. Apricot seeds, 12-20/ day
2. MMS, to support the immune system.
3. Pancreatic Enzymes (Kelley), or Serrapeptase, enough to clean up or “digest” circulating toxins.
4. Magnesium Chloride (transdermal or bath), to help rectify a case of severe magnesium deficiency.
5. Ellagic Acid (found in red raspberry seeds), 2 tsp/day
6. Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP), 10-30 gms /day
6. Iodide/Iodine Solution (4mg-8mg day)
7. Potassium Citrate (to balance high sodium and increase blood flow)
8. Alpha-lipoic acid (for liver support)
9. CoQ10 (for oxidative support)
10. Pure Cannabis Extract

THE KELLEY ENZYMATIC PROGRAM
The use of Pancreatic Enzymes (formulated by Dr. Kelley), as well as various cleansing methods he developed, can serve as valuable adjunctive therapies (to the modified Budwig protocol and other protocols).
Recording of a lecture given by Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez on the history and medical foundations of the Kelley Enzymatic Treatment of Cancer.
(Note: This is a highly informative and entertaining lecture and I recommend that you listen to it even if you are not using, or interested in using, the Kelley protocol. Also, Dr. Gonzalez discusses the the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems. At the very bottom of this page is a diagram that illustrates the differences between these two systems.)
