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.

Superb detail as usual, Lynn. One question about the Beta-carotene: How much should one take if they aren’t currently suffering from cancer?
Also, wouldn’t elevated vitamin A intake necessitate higher consumption levels of Vitamin D as well—and if so, how much D3??
Just Curious,

Hi Clifford,
Glad you liked the blog. For some reason it isn’t necessary to up the D3 as much as would be expected. Ordinarily I would tell someone to take 4000 IU of D with every 50 softgels of beta carotene at 25,000 IU strength. I have Cheryl taking 10,000 IU of D3 for every 125 softgels at 25,000 IU strength. That’s about the same proportion.
A good maintenance dose for beta carotene is 25-50 softgels at 25,000 IU strength, twice daily. There are a lot of diseases and disorders that are inflammation based, so you need a pretty hefty dose of beta carotene daily. I take 50 beta carotene softgels at 25,000 IU strength, twice daily myself. And I still sometimes get symptoms of inflammation to where I have to up the dosage to 150 or more for the day. This is only nutrition and it will not hurt you.
Thanks for writing, Lynn
