THINGS ARE LOOKING SO GOOD FOR CHERYL THAT SHE HAS POSTPONED HER CANCER SURGERY AGAIN!

I usually talk to Cheryl on Sunday mornings to get an update of the prior week. I got anxious by 10:00 Sunday night, when after two phone messages and three texts I still hadn’t heard back from her. She called Monday morning, a little contrite. Seems that she and an old boyfriend were hanging out enjoying the Easter holiday together.

“All day and night so you couldn’t even call?” I snapped.

“Well, yeah,” she said, “It’s been a long time, if you know what I mean.” Then she giggled.

I thought about it and realized, if she’s feeling good enough for that, it probably bodes well for her cancer. As it turns out I was right.

PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS FROM CHERYL 

Mood 

Cheryl says she hasn’t felt so good, physically and mentally, since before her diagnosis. She remarked most about not feeling exhausted any more and having so much energy. She says she has a new sense of well being. She says, “Everything feels better. Just everything.”

The Surgery

Her new feelings of well being coupled with the fact that there is now an empty space where the tumor was, have caused Cheryl to postpone her breast surgery from April 12 to June 1, 2016. She wants more time to make sure she really needs surgery; she sees it as a last resort.

Cheryl has scheduled instead a complete examination at a new hospital with new doctors, for April 5. Those results will tell us what effect beta carotene has had on her tumor. If we are correct that beta carotene has shrunken it, she will continue on the natural treatment. In that case, she will show up on June 1, solely for the pre surgery examination, and to show off a little. If we are not correct about what beta carotene is doing, Cheryl will proceed with surgery on that day. 

Pain

She had no pain last week. 

Regularity 

Cheryl continues to be regular. She still has large bowel movements but they have dropped to two to three times daily. 

Appetite

Cheryl told me that suddenly Monday night her appetite returned. She was overcome with hunger. She made herself a big ole cheeseburger for dinner. Woohoo! She said it was the best thing she had ever tasted. I don’t think she will be existing on chicken noodle soup, saltines, eggs, and protein shakes any more. This return of her appetite is another indication that her cancer is under control and being eliminated from her now much stronger body.

More Effects of Lecithin

Cheryl has a calcified nodule on the right side of her spine, about an inch above her waist. She says now that it is smaller than it was when she started my natural cancer treatment. We can attribute the reduction in size to the emulsifying powers of lecithin. 

Dose Levels

Cheryl continues to take 250 count, of the 25,000 IU strength softgels in a dose of 125 softgels twice daily. Her Vitamin D3 level remains the same. I’m happy to report that she has been able to increase the sunflower lecithin up to the recommended dose of six softgels twice daily, with no stomach distress. This is important as it will increase the rate of removal of toxins and necrotic matter from her body.

Here is another look at Cheryl’s dosage levels chart.

CANCER 101

We have discussed a couple of things so far about how cancer starts and proceeds. Let’s review a bit.

Capehart Cancer Formula

(CA = FRG ≥ X + O + I)© 

Cancer equals free radical growth greater than or equal to X, with X being an individual’s tolerance level for said growth.

When free radical growth reaches the threshold for that individual, oxidation, decay, sets in.

As free radicals continue to proliferate and the decay spreads, the body sets off inflammation. If nothing is done to stop the free radical growth, inflammation will continue over time without abating, until it turns into chronic inflammation.

Chronic inflammation is the last step before any cancer. (Shacter, E., PhD., Weitzman, S., MD, (2002) Journal of Oncology Cancer Network, “Chronic Inflammation and Cancer.” http://www.cancernetwork.com/review-article/chronic-inflammation-and-cancer#sthash.A96sQUUT.dpuf)

Free Radicals

We know we can’t avoid free radicals, that we could sit in a sterile room doing nothing and still create free radicals. If you live in an oxygen based environment, you are going to have free radicals. As long as their growth does not reach “X threshold” and overwhelm the body’s defenses, you are safe.

But where do free radicals come from in the first place?

A cell contains two electrons, enclosed inside it, safe and sound. If you drop a hammer on your big toe and effect an injury, you will damage the outer shell of many cells. Once a shell is damaged, it allows the two electrons inside to escape to the outside. The minute these electrons leave the cell’s shell, they become free radicals. A free radical then is an unstable single electron that results from injury to a cell.

“A free radical is an atom…that has an unpaired electron and is therefore unstable and highly reactive.” “Atoms And Elements” http://www.english-online.at/science/atoms-and-elements/atoms-and-important-chemical-elements.htm.

The first thing the two free radicals do upon escaping their cell is attack the nearest healthy cell. They want to steal an electron from a healthy cell so they can become whole again. But all they actually do is damage the healthy cell, and thereby create two more free radicals from every cell they attack. (A free radical cannot hook up with another free radical.) The newly created free radicals continue this process and a cascade occurs where free radical growth becomes exponential.

This cascade leads to massive cellular damage, and cellular mutations like cancer. This process is so fast that free radical growth can exceed millions per second. It is this cascade that leads to oxidation, chronic inflammation, and cancer. (Ibid.)___________________________________________________________

How a simple injury can lead to an inflammation based disease like cancer

toe injury → damage to cells in the toe leads to creation of free radicals → too many free radicals leads to oxidation and decay throughout the body → decay triggers inflammation → simple inflammation morphs into chronic inflammation without enough anti-oxidant intake

↗ any cancer

chronic inflammation can lead to

↘ any inflammation based disease

___________________________________________________________

“If free radicals overwhelm the body’s ability to regulate them, a condition known as oxidative stress ensues. Free radicals thus adversely alter lipids, proteins, and DNA and trigger a number of human diseases.….” (Lobo, V., Patil, A., Phatak, A., Chandra, N. (2010) Pharmacogn Review, “Free Radicals, Antioxidants And Functional Foods: Impact on Human Health” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3249911/)

We can see then how cancer and any other inflammation based disorder begin with free radicals. The final step of chronic inflammation sets the stage for any type of cancer anywhere in the body. Therefore, it follows that if you can control free radicals, you can also avoid any disease associated with inflammation, including cancer.

Please stay tuned and let us hear from you if you have comments or questions. In the next blog I will explain exactly why anti-oxidants generally, and beta carotene specifically, can cure and prevent any cancer.

Some people cannot afford the cost of the cancer supplements, as inexpensive as they are in comparison, because their insurance will only pay for conventional medical treatments but not natural ones.

SOME INTERESTING DEVELOPMENTS THIS LAST WEEK SEEM TO INDICATE THAT THE NATURAL CANCER TREATMENT IS WORKING

Cheryl’s flu is gone. It left quickly after she upped her L-Lysine dosage.

SOME PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS FROM CHERYL 

Pain

In the last blog I said that Cheryl was having no pain, and assumed that there is no pain with certain cancers until they start poking at you. But this week she is reporting an intermittent “achy” pain in the left breast where the tumor is located. The pain is bad enough at times that she has to take ibuprophen. Still, on some days she is pain free.

The Tumor

The tumor sits directly behind Cheryl’s nipple. When she was first diagnosed and tried to feel that spot, it felt like nothing was there. When the tumor area was touched, it felt like normal tissue. Cheryl could not feel a lump or anything out of the ordinary. When she feels the same area now where the tumor is supposed to be, she says it feels like a hollow space, like something is missing or has been removed. She believes that something is her tumor.

One of the things beta carotene does is shrink tumors, while lecithin helps remove the necrotic tissue from the body. It appears that the enormous doses of beta carotene that Cheryl is taking are breaking up her tumor. We are assuming that the pain is coming from the process of the necrotic tissue separating from the healthy tissue in preparation for removal.

Dose Levels

Cheryl continues to take 250 count, of the 25,000 IU strength softgels in a dose of 125 softgels twice daily. Her Vitamin D3 level remains the same. She is still not able to take large doses of sunflower lecithin without experiencing grave stomach distress.

Note: In addition to the blockage in the milk duct that we discussed in Entry 2, Cheryl also has a blockage between her stomach and gallbladder. This might be a reason for her ongoing digestive complaints, which she had even before the cancer discovery.

Her morning lecithin dose doesn’t bother her. Only the evening dose causes distress, so we have eliminated that dose entirely. Now she is taking only the morning dose, and I will keep her at this level for the duration. It seems to be working to eliminate necrotic wastes, and I don’t want to add any physical distress to what she is already feeling.

Here is another look at Cheryl’s dosage levels chart.

Cancer Only Supplements
Supplement	Breakfast	Dinner	Brand	Strength
Beta Carotene	125 softgels	125 softgels	Puritan’s Pride #1223	25,000 IU
Note: Cheryl is not having any problems with this high level of beta carotene.
D3	2 softgels	2 softgels	Puritan’s Pride #19377	5,000 IU
Note: D3 is important only as a crucial support vitamin for beta carotene.
Sunflower Lecithin	4 softgels		NOW vitaminlife.com	1,200 mg

Regularity 

Cheryl continues to be very regular, having three to four bowel movements a day, and moving plenty of product each time. As she continues to put out much more than she is putting in, we are attributing the additional quantity to the removal of necrotic tissue and other organic wastes.

Appetite

Cheryl is still mostly living on chicken noodle soup, saltines, and protein shakes. She has been able to add eggs to her diet, and eats them two at a time, scrambled, about three times a week.

CANCER 101

Note: Ordinarily I do not cite references. My conclusions about healing the body are my own. But for cancer, since it is so hard to believe there is a safe easy cure available right now, I am listing citations. I do this now because I want to show you that this information is part of the mainstream. The only thing new is my interpretation of it. My hope is that you can agree on that interpretation after sufficient explanation. My interpretation is that anti-oxidants generally, and beta carotene specifically, will cure cancer when taken in significant doses.

Chronic Inflammation Directly Precedes Cancer

In the last blog we established two things: (1) that according to the medical industry, chronic inflammation is the last stop before cancer flares anywhere in the body. (Shacter, E., PhD., Weitzman, S., MD, (2002) Journal of Oncology Cancer Network, “Chronic Inflammation and Cancer.” http://www.cancernetwork.com/review-article/chronic-inflammation-and-cancer#sthash.A96sQUUT.dpuf) That also means that inflammation is the precursor to other “inflammation based” diseases as well. (Ibid.)

Free Radicals

And (2), that free radicals are constantly proliferating inside you no matter how careful you are about your health. “Free radical formation occurs continuously in the cells as a consequence of both enzymatic and non-enzymatic reactions.” (Lobo, V., Patil, A., Phatak, A., Chandra, N. (2010) Pharmacogn Review, “Free Radicals, Antioxidants And Functional Foods: Impact on Human Health.” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3249911/)

This means there is no way to avoid free radicals. You could sit in a sterile room doing nothing and you would still create free radicals. A few free radicals are nothing to worry about. Everyone is walking around with a sizable population in their body. If you breathe oxygen, you are going to have free radicals. As long as their growth does not overwhelm the body’s defenses you are safe.

Other simple life actions will also create free radicals:

eating a sandwich • getting an x-ray • sustaining an injury • getting an infection • pollutant exposure • poor diet with not enough anti-oxidants • working a stressful job • exercising • making love • taking your prescription drugs • radiation exposure • pesticide exposure • and other factors that damage cells

Since you are constantly bombarded by free radicals, your body is good at coping with them as long as their growth level remains low enough and does not reach an individual’s tolerance level. It can also handle them if you take enough anti-oxidants in food and supplement form to contain free radical growth.

Oxidation 

But if free radical growth exceeds an individual’s capacity to control it, a condition of decay sets in that is called oxidation. If you cut an avocado and leave it on the counter it will begin to turn brown. The longer it is there, the darker and more rotten it will become. If you left it there long enough you wouldn’t be able to recognize it as an avocado any more. That spoilage and rot are the work of free radicals and oxidation. The same thing can happen inside your body.

Note: If you were to sprinkle a bit of lemon or lime juice over the avocado it would greatly slow down spoilage, because lemon is an anti-oxidant and prevents free radical growth on the avocado. It and other anti-oxidants do the same thing inside your body.

“A balance between free radicals and antioxidants is necessary for proper physiological function. If free radicals overwhelm the body’s ability to regulate them, a condition known as oxidative stress ensues. Free radicals thus adversely alter lipids, proteins, and DNA and trigger a number of human diseases. Hence, application of an external source of antioxidants can assist in coping with this oxidative stress…. Thus, the search for effective, nontoxic natural compounds with antioxidative activity has been intensified in recent years.” (Lobo, V., Patil, A., Phatak, A., Chandra, N. (2010) Pharmacogn Review, “Free Radicals, Antioxidants And Functional Foods: Impact on Human Health” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3249911/)

“Free radicals and antioxidants have become commonly used terms in modern discussions of disease mechanisms,” as there are so many diseases that fall prey to that process. (Aruoma, OI., (1994), Food Chemistry Toxicology, “Nutrition And Health Aspects of Free Radicals And Antioxidants.”)

Capehart Cancer Formula

Let’s look at this information again in relation to my cancer formula:

(CA = FRG ≥ X + O + I)©

Cancer equals free radical growth greater than or equal to X, with X being your individual tolerance level for that growth. Plus oxidation, plus inflammation.

We can see therefore that cancer begins with free radicals, as they are the first step down the road that ends with inflammation. The final step of chronic inflammation sets the stage for an outbreak of any type of cancer anywhere in the body.

Please stay tuned and let us hear from you if you have comments or questions.

THE CLOCK IS TICKING FOR CHERYL WHO HAS ONE MONTH TO BEAT CANCER BEFORE IT TAKES A BITE OUT OF HER  

Cheryl hasn’t complained once to me. I know she’s scared. But I only get information about her condition if I ask a question. She answers and stops, so I have to ask follow up questions. She is determinedly stoic. She breaks my heart.

A friend’s husband is out of town on a family emergency, so Cheryl is helping out with their three children. She gets up an hour early so she can drop the little one off at grade school, and the two older kids at high school, making her 14 hour day even longer.

CHERYL HAS THE FLU

Cheryl has been sick with the flu; it seems that everyone she knows has it. I reminded her that L-Lysine will stop any virus within 24 hours. She was taking only a maintenance dose of 2,000 mg twice daily.

I explained that any maintenance dose is designed to help prevent an illness. If it is too low and you catch something anyway, you then have to increase your intake to a “therapeutic” dose. Cheryl will be taking 2,000 mg of L-Lysine every four hours for the next three days. It is important that she not face any other physical stressors beyond her cancer.

SOME PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS FROM CHERYL 

Cheryl says that she is feeling fine. Apparently, there is no pain with breast cancer until after they start your treatment. She is trying to get as much sleep as she can.

Cellulite

Cheryl is a buxom, full-bodied woman. She reports that she’s had visible cellulite on her thighs and other spots for a while. After just three weeks on regular doses of Sunflower lecithin, she notes that the cellulite is greatly lessened in some areas, and actually gone in others. She anticipates that she will get rid of all of it thanks to the emulsifying properties of lecithin.

Regularity 

Shortly after she started taking lecithin, Cheryl noticed that she was having larger and more frequent bowel movements. I attribute this to the emulsifying properties of lecithin as well.

Cheryl’s regular routine before lecithin was to move her bowels first thing every morning. Evacuating your bowels only once a day is considered a form of constipation. Now she evacuates 3-4 times each day. The surest sign of a healthy colon is to have 3-5 bowel movements a day, so she is doing well in that department.

She believes that lecithin is doing its job in her body and removing necrotic cells and other wastes. She says she has noticed that a lot more is coming out than she is putting in.

Note: Cheryl is taking an enormous amount of beta carotene. Her skin has not turned orange, nor have the whites of her eyes. Feces will turn a deep orange color when taking high doses of beta carotene. But no other orange color shows up anywhere.

Appetite

For about three weeks Cheryl’s appetite has been light. She has been existing on protein drinks, chicken noodle soup, and saltine crackers. I asked her to start eating one or two eggs every day, but they give her painful gas. I also suggested plain pan-cooked chicken breast. She has ordered betaine hydrochloride, a digestive acid. Once she gets it she can start eating eggs again. I’m worried about her getting enough food protein.

AN IMPORTANT CONCERN FOR CHERYL

Cheryl honestly seems to be more concerned that the information against cancer gets out to the rest of the world, than she is about her condition itself. She believes she has a duty to help me prove this for others as much as for herself. She has voiced this on several occasions.

Cheryl works part time as a bartender and a hairdresser. Even though her cancer supplements cost so little compared to conventional treatments, it’s been hard for Cheryl to come up with the extra money. Now she’s working a third job in retail to pay for the supplements.

When I suggested that I ask for small donations, she forbade me, saying, “Don’t worry about me. I’ll get by.” I admire her grit in the face of a life altering event like this.

BASIS FOR CHERYL’S CANCER 

Cheryl was told by her oncologist that her breast cancer resulted from a blocked milk duct that had become plugged and calcified. We know that the body sees this calcified plug as a mere “blockage.” Therefore, it will respond quickly to lecithin, which will break up the blockage and open the duct.

THE SUPPLEMENT REGIMEN 

Cheryl is taking only three supplements directly targeted at her cancer. Additionally, she continues to take the same regimen of other supplements that she normally takes. For now, I will focus on the cancer only supplements.

Cancer Only Supplements
Supplement	Breakfast	Dinner	Brand	Strength
Beta Carotene	125 softgels	125 softgels	Puritan’s Pride #1223	25,000 IU
Note: Cheryl is not having any problems with this high level of beta carotene.
D3	2 softgels	2 softgels	Puritan’s Pride #19377	5,000 IU
Note: D3 is important only as a crucial support vitamin for beta carotene.
Sunflower Lecithin	3 softgels	3 softgels	NOW vitaminlife.com	1,200 mg
Note: I originally assigned Cheryl to take 6 lecithin twice daily as I am anxious to break up the blockage in her duct. That amount was too much for her stomach, and the evening dose was causing her distress during the night. For that reason, we’ve lowered her dosage, and moved the evening dose up to lunch to see if that helps. Once she can handle it we will increase the dosage back up to 12 a day as planned; six plus six.

 Why Beta Carotene

As you will learn in these cancer blogs, beta carotene is the number one best anti-oxidant for fighting cancer. It neutralizes free radicals (cancer cells) and returns them to a normal state better and faster than any other anti-oxidant. It has no equal for this purpose.

Why Vitamin D3

D3 supports beta carotene in its function. Beta carotene needs D3 to be properly assimilated into the body. If you don’t take D3 when you are taking such large doses of beta carotene, you will end up with a vitamin D deficiency. D3 is preferred over regular vitamin D, as it better replicates the D we get from sunshine.

Why Sunflower Lecithin

Lecithin will emulsify and facilitate the removal of the cancer debris from the body. Sunflower lecithin is recommended over soya lecithin, because of the tainting of the soy bean crops with GMO technology.

CANCER 101

Cancer starts with free radicals. They are the first step down the road that ends with cancer.

My Formula For Cancer: (CA = FRG ≥ X + O + I)©

Explanation:

(1) Cancer equals free radical growth greater than or equal to X.

(2) X represents an individual’s tolerance level for free radicals

(3) Plus, oxidation (O)—which is an excess of free radicals and the pre-stage of inflammation

(4) Followed by actual inflammation (I), which over time morphs into chronic inflammation.

The final step of chronic inflammation sets the stage for an outbreak of any type of cancer anywhere in the body.

“A substantial body of evidence supports the conclusion that chronic inflammation can predispose an individual to cancer, as demonstrated by the association between chronic inflammatory bowel diseases and the increased risk of colon carcinoma…. The longer the inflammation persists, the higher the risk of associated carcinogenesis.” (Shacter, E., PhD., Weitzman, S., MD, (2002) Journal of Oncology Cancer Network, “Chronic Inflammation and Cancer.” http://www.cancernetwork.com/review-article/chronic-inflammation-and-cancer#sthash.A96sQUUT.dpuf)

Free Radicals Are Caused By Various Factors

As free radicals are the first step toward cancer, you need to know where they come from first.

A few free radicals are nothing to worry about. Everyone is walking around with a sizable population in their body. If you breathe oxygen, you are going to have free radicals. As long as their growth does not overwhelm the body’s defenses you are safe.

Briefly, a free radical is created whenever a cell is damaged. Cells are damaged in many ways, including:

(1) naturally, from metabolism and digestion,

(2) an irritant, such as that from wearing a tight bracelet that leaves the skin red and tender,

(3) an injury, like banging your shin as you’re getting out of the shower, causing a lump that hurts and shows a bruise,

(4) an infection, anywhere in the body, for any reason,

(5) excess toxins, like air pollutants and radiation that bombard first responders,

(6) poor diet, insufficient in anti-oxidants to control and neutralize free radicals, and

(7) other stressors, specific to an individual.

In my next blog I will explain exactly how a damaged cell turns into a free radical. Please stay tuned and let us hear from you if you have comments or questions.

Some people cannot afford the cost of the cancer supplements, as inexpensive as they are in comparison, because their insurance will only pay for conventional medical treatments but not natural ones.
