CHERYL CONTINUES TO IMPROVE ON THE NATURAL TREATMENT AND HAS SEEN A SECOND ONCOLOGIST
Cheryl went in for her second-opinion appointment on April 5th. She had never directly criticized her original oncologist to me, but I got the sense that she was not impressed with her. I hadn’t realized how dissatisfied Cheryl was, and I don’t think she did either, until she was able to compare the first doctor with the second-opinion doctor. Day and night, she says.
Cheryl says that prior to setting up her breast surgery, the first doctor spent 12 minutes with her. That she discussed no treatment options or anything relating to the cancer, touching only on the details about the day of surgery. She certainly didn’t try to comfort Cheryl in any way.
When Cheryl pressed her for more information the doctor told her blankly that she was in a high risk group and the breast had to go; that she was a surgeon and didn’t promote other methods to fight or cope with cancer. For breast cancer the standard was to remove the breast. Period.
The second doctor spent an hour and a half with Cheryl, and without being prompted explained not only all aspects of the surgery but also gave her details about her cancer. By the end of the visit, Cheryl had retained the second doctor and dismissed the first.
THE SECOND OPINION VISIT
When Cheryl sat down with the second doctor, but before he had examined her, he told her that based on her medical records she was in a high risk group and the surgery could not be postponed again. He said there was no other way for her to save her life except to have the breast removed.
Ah, but wait…then he examined Cheryl and got a little surprise. He said he couldn’t feel anything where the tumor was supposed to be, and according to the tests it was large enough to be distinguished by touch. Since his more recent physical examination conflicts with her older medical records, he has ordered an MRI before proceeding.
This whole time while the first doctor was setting Cheryl up for surgery, she never ordered an MRI. Cheryl had a suspicious mammogram, which led to a biopsy that showed cancer. The first doctor moved from that result directly to surgery as a treatment. The second doctor said biopsies are not always conclusive and no surgery should have been scheduled without an MRI. Moreover, since Cheryl is in a high risk group an MRI is something her insurance will pay for. Cheryl thinks the first doctor moved too quickly to surgery.
Now we wait to see if beta carotene has eliminated the tumor and the cancer. We are looking at three possible outcomes:
(1) The tumor is larger or the same size; beta carotene isn’t working; Cheryl proceeds to surgery.
(2) The tumor is smaller but still there; beta carotene is working; Cheryl continues with the natural treatment; surgery is postponed until further tests can be conducted.
(3) The tumor is gone; beta carotene is working; Cheryl continues with the natural treatment; surgery is canceled.
PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS FROM CHERYL
Mood
Cheryl was a little nervous at the start of the week due to the looming second opinion. She so wants the cancer to be gone and this whole ordeal to be over. But she is in good spirits overall, and her strength continues to grow.
Pain
None.
Regularity
Cheryl continues to be regular. She moves her bowels twice a day now and there is less product. This would indicate that her body has removed most of the necrotic waste product.
Appetite
Her appetite has pretty much returned to normal, and she can eat what she pleases. Of course, she makes sure to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables high in anti-oxidants in order to support the efforts of the beta carotene.
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 continued to have occasional stomach distress at the higher lecithin levels of 6 softgels twice daily. For that reason, I have moved her back to 4 softgels twice daily. She says that the distress was not bad enough that she couldn’t continue at the higher level, but I make it a point not to ignore the body’s call for help via its presentation of symptoms.
Here is another look at Cheryl’s dosage levels chart.

CANCER 101
Capehart Cancer Formula
(CA = FRG ≥ X + O + I)©
Formula Explanation: Cancer equals free radical growth greater than or equal to X, with X being an individual’s tolerance level for said growth. When growth reaches the threshold for that individual, oxidation/decay, sets in. As decay spreads, it triggers inflammation. If nothing is done, inflammation will continue until it turns chronic, the last step before any cancer. |
Look at the formula as the seven steps to cancer:
Step 1: cell damage occurs
Step 2: electrons escape cell and turn into free radicals
Step 3: free radical growth expands rapidly as they attack healthy cells
Step 4: individual threshold X is reached or exceeded
Step 5: oxidation/decay occurs and triggers inflammation
Step 6: simple inflammation persists and turns into chronic inflammation
Step 7: cancer then flares
It can take many years to get to cancer, but this is the path that takes you there. Bob Marley sustained a minor toe injury playing soccer that never really healed and worsened over time. Seven years later he died of a cancerous brain tumor that can be traced back to that injury.
(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)
Why Beta Carotene Cures Any Cancer
We have learned that free radicals are created whenever a cell is damaged, by any number of reasons, and the electrons escape the outer shell of the cell. As soon as these unpaired electrons escape the shell they become free radicals. Seeking a partner electron, they attack the nearest healthy cell, only to create more free radicals, because a free radical cannot pair up with another free radical to become healthy again.
“A free radical is an atom that has an unpaired electron and is therefore unstable and highly reactive.” This process works so fast that free radical growth can exceed millions per second.
(“Atoms And Elements” http://www.english-online.at/science/atoms-and-elements/atoms-and-important-chemical-elements.htm)
Think of it this way: When you consume beta carotene, and other anti-oxidants, their cells roam through your system searching for free radicals. When a beta carotene cell encounters free radicals, the cell voluntarily opens and donates its electrons to the waiting free radicals. After the pairing between a free radical and an anti-oxidant electron, the free radical is returned to normalcy.
What is happening is that, unlike human electrons, when beta carotene electrons escape their cell, they do not turn into free radicals. Instead, they remain stable as a single electron. This stability means that while free radicals cannot pair with each other, they can pair with anti-oxidant electrons and become healthy and non-cancerous again.
That a free radical can pair with an anti-oxidant electron is the core reason why and how beta carotene cures cancer—one free radical at a time.
Anti-Oxidants Help You Avoid And Stop Cancer
Foods high in anti-oxidants help a great deal when you factor in the part they play in eliminating free radicals inside the body. Each single electron in a cell of an anti-oxidant food will reform and make whole one free radical. One to one, it is a game of numbers. Free radicals can grow as fast as millions per second. But there is no limit to the number of free radicals you can “kill” if you consume enough anti-oxidants in food and supplement form.
(“Atoms And Elements” http://www.english-online.at/science/atoms-and-elements/atoms-and-important-chemical-elements.htm)
In 2009 Russian scientists demonstrated that naturally occurring fat soluble antioxidants reduce inflammation. Fifteen days prior to being artificially induced with acute inflammation the treatment group was given fat soluble antioxidants, including beta carotene. The control group was not given any antioxidants.
The researchers concluded that unique antioxidants could be used therapeutically to reduce the inflammatory response and stimulate the immune system to fight diseases like cancer. And once you reduce inflammation, you have also reduced oxidation and free radical growth.

Make no mistake. Food alone is not enough to stop cancer no matter how perfect your diet. You must take anti-oxidant supplements as well in order to avoid 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 such large doses of beta carotene are necessary in order to stop and prevent cancer.

Hi Lynn, I subscribe to your blog and have been reading along with the updates on your client Cheryl’s health. I have an ignorant question (sorry), and did a search on your site for the words “fat soluble”, thinking maybe you explained this in another post. I thought that with vitamins that were water soluble, you eliminated what you didn’t need, but that fat soluble vitamins get stored in the fat in our bodies and can build up to be more than we need over time…? Is that incorrect? I always wonder about this because of the vitamin A and D found in cod liver oil, or people who supplement with D3, or in this instance the beta carotene. How is excess eliminated, if your body needs less than you are getting? If someone presently without cancer took a daily beta-carotene supplement (such as the one you use in this work with Cheryl), would they have problems with fat-stored vitamin A in excess, or no?
Hi Elizabeth,
Thanks for subscribing to my blog. There are no ignorant questions; questions are how you educate yourself. You are correct in your definition of “fat soluable.” That is why it is best to take beta carotene with food.
But you are way way off in thnking that you have anything to fear about beta carotene or D3 building up in your body. Beta carotene fights free radicals; you produce millions of free radicals in just seconds or minutes. When you take beta carotene after a surgery or an injury, it will only last for 6-8 hours. Not much gets stored even if you are sick because beta carotene is destroyed in fighting free radicals.
Take another look at Cheryl’s dosage chart: every day she is taking 250 softgels, at 25,000 IU per softgels, which equals 6,250,000 IU daily. Any doctor will tell you that taking even 75,000 IU of beta carotene daily will harm you. In six weeks Cheryl has taken 262,500,000 IU of beta carotene. Many doctors would tell you that that amount will harm you. One doctor, still licensed amazingly, tells patients that beta carotene will give them cancer. I strongly suggest that you forget anything you have heard about beta carotene and other “fat soluable” vitamins. The people making these statements do not know what they are talking about and are completely wrong.
These are the amounts you need because there are so many free radicals associated with any inflammation disease. Unfortunately, those who really are ignorant follow what’s on the bottle, to take 1-2 daily with food. Honestly, if a person is only going to take that amount they should just save their money, because it won’t make any difference inside their bodies.
What you don’t need your body throws off. But the point is that you need large amounts of beta carotene because most people are simply riddled with inflammation. Beta carotene is a concentrated food source. IT WILL NOT HURT YOU NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU TAKE. It is completely safe.
Thanks for writing, Lynn.
Thanks so much for this clarification in your reply; honestly, there is a lot of misinformation out there, and assumptions based on this misinformation, even in the allopathic community, it seems. So the reason for my question in the first place comes from the fact that the role of beta carotene in the body is misunderstood at best; underestimated (or even vilified!) at worst. That is why your approach feels so “foreign” to someone like me, since so many of us have never heard this before. Your work with utilizing nutrients for healing is admirable and reminds me of Linus Pauling’s work with mega-dosing vitamin C for health ailments and dis-ease. He noticed that vets prescribed much higher doses of C to primates than what was recommended to humans. From a layman’s point of view, it would make sense that a “healthy diet” including plenty of fruits and vegetables would generally work for health maintenance (in someone healthy), but that when a disease state or chronic health issue sets in, you need a much higher concentration of nutrients to combat the problem and bring the system back into balance…Hopefully I’m understanding it correctly.
Hi Elizabeth,
Yes, I agree with your analysis. Your understanding is correct. Beta carotene is a miracle.
Thanks for writing, Lynn
