Because chemotherapy is only effective in 2% of cancers in addition to reducing remaining quality and length of life, and over 50% of those few who are supposedly "cured" by chemotherapy develop secondary cancers from the chemo and biopsies, according to Ralph Moss (http://www.amazon.com/Questioning-Chemotherapy-Ralph-W-Moss/dp/188102525X). I would not use it, but since many of you do, I have detailed a protocol that I would follow if I were taking chemotherapy in order to increase the effectiveness of the chemotherapy and reduce the side effects. [Note: It is not a good strategy to attempt to battle cancer by simply popping pills; a comprehensive approach is much better, including learning what to eat, how much (e.g., at least 35-40% of calories from healthy fats, most carbs from certain vegetables, etc.), lifestyle changes, supplements, etc. Please refer to the other cancer and health pages on this site for more detail on these other essential aspects of battling cancer. Keep in mind that whole wheat bread raises serum glucose (and therefore feeds cancer) just as much as white bread, since the wheat is ground and exposes the starch to be rapidly absorbed by the body, as opposed to whole grains in the form that nature provides them, such as brown rice, whole/steel-cut oats (and even these need to be very limited) or vegetables.]
According to Dr. Rowen, killing malignant tumors is usually not difficult: the biggest challenge comes about afterward, to keep tumors from coming back once the patients leave the clinic and resume their normal lifestyles and diets. To prevent cancer's reoccurrence, one must keep the immune system strong with diet, lifestyle, some (not excessive) exercise, nutritional supplementation, and especially, a positive mental attitude. Some people mistakenly think that they need not maintain a very healthy diet and lifestyle to minimize getting cancer again if they choose conventional treatments (i.e., they think that the natural method is too much work), but it is just as important afterwards, no matter what method is used to initially get rid of the cancer -- also, the natural methods help reduce the side effects from conventional treatments and may help reduce secondary cancers caused by biopsies, chemotherapy and radiation.

Additional information from Dr. Blaylock (to be used along with that in his cancer newsletters and book, "Natural Strategies for Cancer Patients":
*Avoid all excitotoxin food additives (MSG, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, vegetable protein extract or isolate, soy protein or soy protein extract, sodium or calcium caseinate, broth, stock, carrageenan, enzymes, etc) They are proven to increase the growth, invasion and spread of lung cancers. Check all labels –the best way is to avoid all processed foods.
*Drink only white tea (three cups of high concentrated (2 tea bags)-and distilled water and plenty of it _10- 12 oz glasses a day.
*Avoid all sugar (especially high fructose corn syrup) and refined carbohydrates –they suppress immunity and promote cancer cell growth.Sugar is the main fuel for cancer cells.
avoid all omega-6 oils (corn, canola, safflower, sunflower, peanut, soybean oils). They suppress immunity and have been provento promote tumor growth and spread.
*Use either extravirgin olive oil and/or extravirgin coconut oil. (Check all processed foods –most use the bad oils)
*Curcumin 500 mg and quercetin 500 mg should be mixed with the olive oil ) one tablespoon full) -mix well and take three times a day. Together they powerfully inhibit cancer cell growth and prevent many of the complications of chemotherapy. Inn addition, studies have shown that they enhance the effectiveness of the chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
*Ellagic acid – Also a very powerful cancer inhibitor.
*Natural vitamin E (mixed tocopherols) with high gamma-E. 1000 IU a day
*Vitamin C 1000 mg of buffered (magnesium ascorbate) & oil-soluble C (ascorbyl palmitate) (3000mg/day).
*Resveratrol (the only brand to get is Longevinex brand) shown to inhibit cancer cell growth and to protect normal tissues from chemotherapy.
*Multivitamin/mineral –I like Extend Core from Vitamin Research Inc, (www.vrp.com)
*Lutein 20 mg- take two twice a day (80mg/d)
This three-nutrient cocktail reduces cancer by up to 59%
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most difficult cancers to cure. It's one form of cancer you definitely don't want to get. And new research shows three different nutrients can substantially cut your risk. What's more, if you're a smoker, these nutrients can do even more to protect you.
Not only can these nutrients lower your risk of pancreatic cancer, they can lower your overall risk as well.
In this study, German researchers followed participants from many different ethnic groups. The eight-year study compared the cancer protection from three different flavanols (a type of plant polyphenols).
The researchers found that all three of the flavanols can slash your cancer risk. In fact, they slashed the risk for pancreatic cancer by 25%. If you are a smoker, the reduction is even more pronounced. You can cut it by more than 59%. This was the first study to examine the specific classes of flavanols and their impact on pancreatic cancer risk reduction.
The researchers studied the flavanols quercetin, kaempferol, and myricetin. You'll find quercetin in onions and apples, kaempferol in spinach and cabbage, and myricetin in red onions and berries. Of the three, kaempferol provided the largest amount of risk reduction - 22% - across all participants.
Obviously, eating all three will give you even more protection. That's why these are some of my favorite and most recommended foods. I try to eat an onion and spinach in my salad every day. And it's logical to think that if they slash the risk of pancreatic cancer, they will reduce your risk for other cancers as well.
You won't find these wonderful compounds in synthetic, processed, manmade petrochemicals. You can find natural quercetin and myricetin in supplement form on the Internet and in many health food stores (see Dr. Blaylock's suggestion about mixing quercetin along with 95% curcumin in a tablespoon of E.V. olive or purified liquid fish oil). But kaempferol is harder to find. So eat more of these foods to make sure you get all of the flavanols. And take additional quercetin and myricetin to increase your protection.
Yours for better health and medical freedom, Robert Jay Rowen, MD
