Fact : Cancer has to grow new blood vessels
• AN INCREASE IN TUMOR SIZE MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY AN INCREASE IN BLOOD VESSEL FORMATION
• CANCER IS THE MOST DRAMATIC ANGIOGENESIS DEPENDENT DISEASE
• A TUMOR CANNOT GROW IN SIZE WITHOUT BLOOD VESSEL FORMATION INTO IT.

 

VASCULARIZED TUMOR
(Penetration of blood vessels into the tumor)
Angiogenesis is the process of new blood vessel formation within the body. Adults display new blood vessel growth besides in pregnancy in only two cases: (1) wound healing (2) Pathologic tissue such as cancer. Tumors can thrive only when tiny networks of new blood vessels supply them with nutrients and oxygen. (See above diagram. Tumor penetrated by blood vessels)

" A tumor without a network of blood vessel formation is like a car without wheels- it's not going anywhere!"


What can be done to prevent the growth of blood vessels into a cancer tumor?
 
"Squalamine blocks the in growth of blood vessels into a tumor, and therefore, it block's the tumor's growth- not because it kills the tumor cells, but it simply cuts off their blood supply if you will"
.. Dr.Allen Sill, Johns Hopkins University

"Shark Liver Oil exhibits a remarkable ability to help strengthen the human immune system and is perhaps the most amazing immune system enhancer ever discovered."....*Dr Richard Passwater Shark Liver Oil
"Our research has shown that shark liver oil has a much higher concentration of squalamine and alkylglycerols than shark cartilage has. These are the active ingredients against cancer".....*Dr Richard Passwater and Neil Solomon, M.D., Ph.D Shark Liver Oil

PRP (found in Alpha Factor colostrum) was found not to be species specific (transferable for human use). Turns white blood cells into functionally active T cells. Results were shown in treatment of auto-immune disorders and cancer. An important Immune modulator stimulates an underactive immune system and tones down an overactive one. …-Drs. Janusz & Lisowski; Archives of Immunology


Fact : Cancer cells will "eat" the body when they run out of food.

Gluconeogenesis is a process which the body uses to provide an energy source during periods when there is not an adequate intake of nutritional support to meet its needs for glucose (sugar). The pathway becomes active during periods of low blood sugar levels and during periods of fasting. The energy which is produced through the pathway is derived from several sources within the body. Two of the primary sources are the amino acids derived from muscle tissue and lactic acid (the waste product of both muscle and tumor metabolism) . The significance of the gluconeoenesis pathway can be seen with the following example. Our bodies need for glucose is met by the foods we eat. The carbohydrates we eat are broken down into glucose (sugar).
The body uses what it needs at that time and the rest is stored in liver and other tissues while the remainder is converted into fat. It is when we do not eat that gluconeogenesis is activated within the body.

"Cancer needs a lot of food (sugar) to grow. When cancer runs the body out of sugar, it starts eating the muscles, fat, and other body parts".

This is one of the reasons that when people are on very strict diet plans to lose weight they not only lose fat, but they also lose muscle tissue. The body uses glycerol from fat and amino acids in the muscle tissue to be transformed through the liver into glucose to meet its needs. Even if you do not eat any food the body can produce significant amounts of glucose (100-200 gms/day) through this process to meet its needs. Cancer cells need large amounts of glucose to progress. They are essentially 'sugar feeders'. A cancer tumor consumes glucose in amounts 4-5 times greater than normal cells. The reason for this is that when a normal cell is converted into a malignant (abnormal rapidly dividing) cell it goes from a cell that likes oxygen to one that hates oxygen. This does not mean the cell does not utilize oxygen it simply needs lesser amounts. If a normal healthy cell only had the amount of oxygen available to it that the tumor cell requires, it could not survive. That is because the tumor cells primary energy source becomes glucose (sugar) and not oxygen.

"A Cancer tumor consumes glucose in amounts 4-5 times greater than normal cells"..

Once a cell becomes malignant the metabolism within the body immediately changes. The effects are not as noticeable at first but as the tumor progresses and uses more and more glucose the effects become much more obvious. Tumor formation has a way of triggering the body into a constant state of gluconeogenesis. This way at no time is the tumor not acquiring the vast amounts of glucose it needs for growth. At the same time the tumor is inducing gluconeogenesis for its own energy supply, it is also taking critical elements from the normal healthy cells in order to keep this process ongoing. This constant depletion of critical elements from the normal healthy cells is what eventually leads to cancer cachexia (or the wasting syndrome) . It is often thought that the cachexic state only occurs in patients going into late stages of the disease but this is a misconception. This process begins on day 1 when the tumors growth begins. It only becomes noticed physically over a period of time once the depletion has become very extensive. This is why it is so important to begin antigluconeogenisis therapy early in the disease process to block the tumors ability to starve the body to produce the glucose it needs for itself. 

Because of the decreased amounts of oxygen within the tumor it does not undergo a complete cycle and excretes lactic acid as a waste product into the bloodstream. (Lactic acid is also the waste product of muscle metabolism. Most people recognize the production of lactic acid during exercise when the muscle is worked to the point where it burns. When the muscle is worked to exhaustion it uses up the available oxygen. Lactic acid begins to form when sufficient oxygen supply is not being met and the burning sensation occurs.) Because the tumor cell does not utilize oxygen as a normal cell does it gives off constant quantities of lactic acid. This increased elevation of lactic acid in the bloodstream can be correlated with the rate of tumor growth. The tumor uses its own lactic acid production to recycle through the liver to be converted back into glucose. This is often called a 'metabolic circuit'. Although you might be taking in less quantity of food by mouth available as a source of energy for the tumor, the tumor produces its own supply and essentially "feeds itself".

Gluconeogenesis occurs in the liver through the action of certain enzymes. In order to break the cycle or the "metabolic circuit" you must block one of the key enzymes which help to complete the cycle. This is the target of The Cancer Protocol. It uses hydrazine sulfate to block the enzyme phosphoenylpyruvate carboxylase in the liver which is responsible for this process -thereby inhibiting the formation of glucose available as an energy source for the tumor.

"This is the target of The Cancer Protocol. Genestein Plus to block the enzyme phosphoenylpyruvate carboxylase in the liver which is responsible for this process -thereby inhibiting the formation of glucose available as an energy source for the tumor".

Fact : Cancer cells can be attacked and destroyed.
Direct Cell Killing Activity Against the Cancer Cells
Cancer cells emit a substance (enzyme) call beta-glucoronidase. This enzyme is specific to cancer cells and not our normal healthy cells. For this reason it is often called a 'suicide enzyme' because of its specificity to only the cancer cells. The Cancer Protocol pinpoints this specific vulnerablity and targets it with a very lethal group of molecules called nitrolosides. These molecules are lethal only to the cancer cells and do not disrupt the activity of normal healthy cells. These nitroloside molecules are the active component to a dietary supplement which is a very distinct component of the Cancer Protocol After ingestion of this supplement the molecules become absorbed as they enter the stomach.. Upon entering the bloodstream they are not active. After coming upon a cancer cell which is emitting the "suicide enzyme" the nitroloside molecules release a very lethal dose directly upon the cell. The Cancer Protocol uses dietary supplementation containing high concentrations of these lethal nitroloside molecules to provide the cell killing component to our therapy.

"The Cancer Protocol uses dietary supplementation containing high concentrations of these lethal nitroloside molecules to provide the cell killing component to our therapy".

Fact: Cancer thrives on a Weakened Immune System
Supplementing with a high amount of antioxidants such as Life Sources’ OPC-165™ – a whopping 50 times stronger than Vitamin E; 20 times stronger than Vitamin C, it is also necessary to add in Selenium and Vitamin E.  Do not over-do Vitamin C as this can reduce the iron levels. Effective at eliminating toxic free radicals these antioxidants exert their effects on the outside of cells. Free radicals are found not only on the outside of cells but also after penetrating the cells outer membrane they can mobilize themselves inside the cell causing severe damage. The inside of the cell is what contains our genetic coding, DNA. When DNA is disrupted or altered it can lead to abnormal growth of the cell (aka malignancy). One single characteristic of the alkylglycerols versus other antioxidants is its ability to penetrate the cells outer membrane and get inside to reduce any free radical formation which has entered the cell. In reference to the suppression of the tumor, clinical studies have shown a direct correlation with increased concentrations of alkylglycerols within the tumor and reduced activity Immune Stimulation

Chemotherapy suppresses the body’s immune system. A key goal is to try and boost the immune system so that when the tumor becomes vulnerable the immune system is able to respond. One of the principle agents in Shark Liver Oil which helps to increase immune function is the alkylglycerols (AKG's). Alkylglycerols are found in the bone marrow which is the heart of the immune system. Alkylglycerols serve three major functions: (1) cell membrane effects (2) antioxidant action preventing damage from radiation therapy (3) direct tumor suppression. The antioxidant actions of alkylglycerol are very distinct from other antioxidants that we are of tumor growth. Shark Liver Oil targets this phase with the use of Shark Liver Oil, which contains the highest concentration available of AKG's (35%).

"Shark Liver Oil exhibits a remarkable ability to help strengthen the human immune system and is perhaps the most amazing immune system enhancer ever discovered."....*Dr Richard Passwater Shark Liver Oil

"Our research has shown that shark liver oil has a much higher concentration of Squalamine and alkylglycerols than shark cartilage has. These are the active ingredients against cancer".....
*Dr Richard Passwater and Neil Solomon, M.D., Ph.D Shark Liver Oil

Warning! Shark cartilage does not have enough Squalamine and alkylglycerol (AKG's) to be effective in treating cancers. Do not compromise your health in this life-threatening disease!!

Fact : Cancer Cells have Electrical Activity within them
Inside every cell in our bodies there is electrical activity that drives the cell to perform certain functions that allow it to progress and survive. One of the most important parts of the cells respiratory system is the oxidation reduction system. This is the system that produces energy for the cell to do its work. You can think of this system like a battery. It is what allows the cells to maintain a charge and keeps the system running properly. Let’s look at the oxidation / reduction system like a ladder. Each step of the ladder has a different chemical reaction taking place that produces energy for the cell to survive. At the top of the ladder are the normal cells which require higher amounts of energy because of the complex processes which it requires for proper function. At the bottom of the ladder we have reactions which require less energy to maintain themselves. As you move towards the top of the ladder the amount of energy increases, from 0.2 volts at the bottom to 0.4 volts at the top.

Cancer cells are about 85% of the way up this ladder . They stop at what is termed 'the critical (cancerous) point'. It cannot go up the ladder because it is not a normal healthy cell anymore but it also cannot move down the ladder so it remains at this 'steady state' point. The problem with having these cells at this 'steady state' point is that the body does not know how to deal with them. It is somewhat like jumping a fence. You are fine if you stay on your side and you are fine if you make it all the way over the fence. But, you are in trouble if you land so you are straddling the fence. The cancer cells straddle the fence. They are neither normal enough to function correctly nor primitive enough (down the ladder) for the body to know how to deal with them.
The Cancer Protocol targets this 'critical point' of the cancer's respiratory cycle by using a product that lowers the voltage in the cancer cells and pushes them further down the " ladder" so the body can kill and digest them.

Fact : Poor Nutrition- Cancer thrives on Cookies, Candy and Cakes!
Nutrition- Starving the Tumor
Nutrition plays an essential role in overcoming cancer. Attacking cancer by targeting the critical factors discussed earlier with aggressive nutrition is the best strategy. The two therapies combine to create a synergistic response that is better than either therapy could achieve on its own. As stated before the cancer cells primary source of energy is derived from sugar. Once a cell becomes malignant it begins consuming 4-5x more sugar in comparison with normal cells. Therefore the goal of nutrition is to keep blood sugar levels low through a proper diet. It is very important to eat a diet with a low percentage of carbohydrates (app. 30-35%). One of the most commonly asked questions is concerning the intake of pasta. a food group loaded with carbohydrates. The Cancer Protocol targets keeping the intake of carbohydrates low - not nonexistent... You do not have to force pasta out of the diet just eat small portions. Also stay away from simple sugars such as candy bars.

"The Cancer Protocol targets keeping the intake of carbohydrates low - not nonexistent... You do not have to force pasta out of the diet just eat small portions. Also stay away from simple sugars such as candy bars"
 
It will soon become clearer where the gluconeogenesis pathway plays alongside the maintenance of adequate blood sugar levels. Under normal situations maintaining low glucose conentrations by limiting dietary intake would trigger the gluconeogenesis pathway to activate and reload the body by increasing blood sugar levels thereby resupplying the tumors energy source. By utilizing antigluconeogenic therapy you become the controller of the tumor and the tumor has less control of you. This way the tumor is only able to utilize for its growth what you allow it, because you control what you eat. Now it can't automatically trigger the body to feed it because you have cut off the gluconeogenic pathway. This is very important to remember. There have been numerous cases of cancer won by a modification of diet alone. Although these diets are very strict it proves that nutrition plays a key role in the battle. If nutrition alone can prove effective against the cancer battle imagine the effect after combination with antiangiogenes is antigluconeogenesis, immune stimulation and cytotoxic therapies. I'll let your imagination wonder!

"There have been numerous cases of cancer won by a modification of diet alone. Although these diets are very strict it proves that nutrition plays a key role in the battle".

The Cancer Protocol also utilizes enzyme therapy. A tumor sends out a hormone known as HCG (human chorionicgonadotrophin). (This is the same hormone which is detected by home pregnancy test). This hormone is also the same hormone given off by embryonic cells following conception during the first months of pregnancy. An embryonic cell and a cancer cell are essentially the same. (No you didn't read wrong, they are the same) After conception the cells which are growing to produce the embryo are rapidly growing cells, the same as cancer cells. Over a certain period of time genetic factors as well as certain pancreatic enzymes play a role in slowing the growth of the fetal cells. The production of this hormone plays an important part in blocking the immune system from attacking the cells. (If you've never thought about it why does the immune system not attack a fetus? Because of HCG.) This hormone gives off a negative charge (-) and the white blood cells of the immune system also obtain the characteristic of a negative (-) charge. Thus two like charges repel each other. (A similar example is holding two magnets together with the same poles facing... You can feel them pushing against each other. This is the same effect between the immune system and the hormone which protects the cancer cells as well as the fetal cells.) The Cancer Protocol utilizes enzyme therapy to help 'digest this hormone like coating' around the tumor cells allowing an 'access point' for the immune system to attack the tumor.

Fact : Cancer cells hate oxygen!
When a normal "oxygen loving" cancer cell is transformed into a malignant cell the oxygen loving characteristics of the cell change. The malignant cell as mentioned earlier turns from oxygen loving to oxygen hating due to its new fuel source - sugar. An increased amount of oxygenation to the malignant cancer cell can be deadly. This is why hydrogen peroxide therapy has proven successful when given by intravenous infusion. Hydrogen peroxide increases the amount of oxygenation in the bloodstream and essentially “floods” the malignant cell with oxygen. In the presence of such high amounts of oxygen the “oxygen hating” cancer cell cannot function properly as it does in the absence of oxygen.

"In the presence of such high amounts of oxygen the “oxygen hating” cancer cell cannot function properly as it does in the absence of oxygen".

One of the essential goals of The Cancer Protocol is to improve oxygen carrying capacity of the blood to deliver greater amounts of oxygen to the sites of the cancer cell(s). This is achieved by the use of magnesium peroxide . One magnesium peroxide capsule provides one singlet oxygen molecule which is equivalent to 12 drops of 35% intravenous hydrogen peroxide. This important aspect of increased red blood cell oxygenation is especially important for lung cancer patients who have a diminished lung oxygen capacity and often require supportive oxygen therapy.
