Issues With Brain Cancer and Orthodox Cancer TreatmentsLet me start with the observations of one person familiar with brain cancer treatments:
I wanted to emphasize the concept of permanent retardation. The wife of a good friend of mine developed brain cancer. She had radiation therapy that bascially made her mentally retarded. It was only after this happened that the radiologist admitted to my friend that radiation probably didn't do any good. Needless to say his wife died.
Brain cancer and brain tumors are somewhat unique because of the "blood-brain barrier," which severly restricts the types of substances in the bloodstream that are allowed by the body into the brain. While the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is great for protecting the brain from danger, when the brain has cancer cells, the BBB can be a problem. In spite of the claims of orthodox medicine, I am not aware of a single chemotherapy drug that penetrates the blood-brain barrier.
Issues With Brain Cancer and Alternative Cancer TreatmentsBrain cancer is one of the trickiest types of cancer for alternative medicine to treat. While it is easy to kill the cancer cells in a brain cancer patient (many alternative cancer treatments easily penetrate the blood-brain barrier), it is not easy to safely kill the cancer cells. The problem is that the debris from dead cancer cells can be very difficult to safely remove from the brain. Other problems are inflammation and swelling. Before a cancer cell dies it gets sick. The problem is that once the cancer cell gets sick the immunity system recognizes the cell as being sick and attacks it and this causes inflammation and swelling. This is not good to happen inside the skull. The only kinds of alternative cancer treatments that do not cause dangerous inflammation and swelling are treatments that build the immunity system and then let the immunity system kill the cancer cells safely. These treatments are generally used in conjunction with a product like Vitalzym, which strips the protein coating around the cancer cells so the immunity system has an easier time killing the cancer cells. The problem with these treatments is that they typically work very slowly and many brain cancer patients do not have enough time left to live to use slow-working alternative cancer treatments.
However, all brain cancer patients should take Vitalzym anyway, as it may reduce the inflammation of any brain cancer patient and help avoid seizures. Vitalzym, since it is an all natural enzyme supplement, can be taken in large doses (up to 30 pills a day or more) when it is known that a seizure is likely. This leaves as the only option alternative cancer treatments that kill cancer cells directly. But these treatments cannot work too quickly or too many toxins/debris will be released at the same time by dead cancer cells. This could also be dangerous for a variety of reasons. Thus, the only treatments that are suitable for brain cancer are treatments that kill cancer cells slowly, but not too slowly. But these are the treatments that also cause inflammation and swelling. Thus there is no ideal direction for brain cancer patients until a treatment is developed which reverts cancer cells into normal cells very quickly. While such a treatment has been released to the public (the "Overnight Cure For Cancer" article), it may be too risky for brain cancer patients at the current time because it is not known how many cancer cells are killed during the treatment.
Important NotesNote #1) If you are dealing with swelling or pressure of any kind in your brain, immediately deal with an oncologist or surgeon. Let them make decisions about relieving the swelling or pressure. Do NOT depend on ANY alternative cancer treatments to work fast enough to deal with swelling or pressure inside the skull.
Note #2) If you have Stage IV brain cancer, such as a glioblastoma, another fast growing brain cancer or tumor, a tumor in a very dangerous location, etc., and if you have not already read my article on Stage IV cancer treatments, then when you are done with this article, you should immediately read this article: Note #3) Any brain cancer patient on any orthodox or alternative cancer treatment that kills cancer cells (which is almost ALL alternative cancer treatments) should carry with them at all times anti-inflammatory drugs. The person should also have with them at all times someone who knows how to use these drugs.
Five Critical Supplements to Reduce Inflammation and Swelling
#1 and #2) DMSO (Dimethyl Sulfoxide) and MSM (methylsulfonylmethane or methyl-sulfonyl-methane) are totally natural molecules which are related to each other. Both are superb treatments for reducing and preventing swelling and inflammation. They are HIGHLY ENDORSED at a dosage of at least 10 grams of MSM per day and two TABLEspoons of DMSO. Children 12 and under should take half that dose or less. Here are articles on both MSM and DMSO: #3) Oxygen Elements Plus is another supplement which should be taken by every brain cancer patient. More is said about this below.
#4 and #5) Vitalzym and Barley Power are two superb enzyme supplements. Both of these products are highly endorsed to reduce swelling and inflammation: Note: For those being treated at a clinic, ACTH (corticotropin) may be used to reduce swelling. ACTH allows the body to make its own cortisone. It needs to be administered by a health professional due to possible allergic reactions.
Specific Alternative Treatments For Brain CancerThe most promising alternative treatments for brain cancer and brain tumors, that I have been able to find, are now presented.
Bill Henderson ProtocolThe Bill Henderson Protocol is by far the alternative cancer treatment that causes the least amount of inflammation and swelling. It is based on the Johanna Budwig Diet of cottage cheese and flaxseed oil. The treatment also includes several other supplements and a special diet. However, even when using the Bill Henderson Protocol it is still strongly advised to use DMSO and/or MSM to keep inflammation down.
Here is a special article on the Bill Henderson Protocol, along with a link to Bill Henderson's website, Beating Cancer Gently:
Cesium Chloride / DMSO Protocol and Ozone RHPFor glioblastomas and other Stage IV brain cancer cases, two of the strongest alternative cancer treatments are the Cesium Chloride / DMSO Protocol and ozone RHP. Both of these treatments, however, kill cancer cells. Thus, for a brain cancer patient the doses of these treatments should be chosen by an expert in using these treatments on brain cancer patients. For example, in some brain cancer cases, the normal doses of cesium chloride are cut in half. For children the doses may be more than cut in half. The only cesium chloride vendor I endorse for brain cancer is Larry of Essense of Life. He has considerable experience working with brain cancer patients and cesium chloride.
Here are links to the key articles, which discuss the recommended vendor/expert in these treatments:
ProtocelGenerally speaking, one of the most recommended treatment for Stage I, Stage II or Stage III brain cancer is a product known as Protocel. Its ability to get past the blood brain barrier, and to target cancer cells, is amazing. Its track record is also extremely good. I have written a special article on Protocel. However, Protocel does not work fast enough for a glioblastoma or other fast-growing brain cancers. In this article is a link to a book by Tanya Pierce called "Protocel and Cancer." In this book are a number of case studies (i.e. testimonials) of people using Protocel for brain cancer. A word of warning: Protocel causes some lysing (with lysing the cancer cell literally falls apart as it dies), thus there will be debris inside the skull with this treatment. For this reason Protocel should not be combined with graviola or Paw Paw, which also create lysing. The Protocel article goes into detail on these issues.
Here is the article:
Grape CureBecause the grape cure contains so much glucose and other sugars, which feed cancer cells and get past the blood brain barrier, and because it is not known whether a sufficient number of the cancer-killing nutrients in grapes (to offset these sugars) get past the blood-brain barrier, I cannot endorse using the grape cure on brain cancer until more information is forthcoming.
Noni Juice"A 32 year old man with brain cancer had his tumor shrink from the size of a baseball to the size of the tip of your thumb. A 73 year old man had his brain tumor shrink to half its size. Both took Tahitian Noni Juice." Noni Juice is known for key nutrients that get past the blood brain barrier into the brain, such as Xeronine. But perhaps more important, the glucose in Noni Juice, like all glucose, easily gets past the blood brain barrier. Like grape juice, there is no doubt that this glucose carries cancer cell killing nutrients with it. Some of the brands of Noni Juice, including Tahitian Noni Juice, mix fruit juices in with the Noni Juice which contain Ellagic Acid, which combines with glucose. For brain cancer patients, it would be best to buy a brand of Noni Juice that contains berry juice (e.g. blueberries, strawberries, etc.).
Budwig DietThis is from a posting on the internet: "I don't really know one type of brain tumor from another, but I can tell you about one man who was under direct care of Dr. Budwig. He followed her regimen excactly. His condition was far advanced with a tumor in his head called adenoma. He could hardly see anymore. He went to see Dr.Budwig and began his treatment in Oct, 1997. Two weeks later he began feeling better. Three weeks later his vision began to improve. Six months later he had the feeling that the tumor was gone. Sometimes later that was confirmed. He is well and active and runs his own business. I last communicated with him about two months ago. He was in good shape. But he is still following the Budwig regimen except not as quite as strict as before."
Here is a link to a testimonial passed around on the internet. It is actually a complete treatment plan with the Budwig Diet as the main element: As with an Essiac Tea testimonial above, this treatment testimonial also included shark cartilage. See my notes below.
MGN-3 or MGN3Since MGN-3 builds the immunity system, it is not necessary for any of its ingredients to get past the blood-brain barrier, the immunity system obviously gets past the BBB. Here is a testimonial:
Raw Food
This is very good advice! Among the many cancer treating nutrients in carrots, astaxanthin, a cartenoid, easily gets past the BBB.
Ellagic AcidEllagic Acid is known to kill cancer cells. Whether it gets past the blood-brain barrier is not important because it combines with glucose, which does get past the blood-brain barrier. In other words, when Ellagic Acid is used with a glucose-based food, such as grape juice, blueberries, strawberries, etc., it gets past the BBB. Ellagic acid is found naturally in purple grapes, red grapes, kiwifruit, blueberries, red and black raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, and currants.
Coenzyme Q10 - CoQ10Not a lot of different types of cancer have been treated with CoQ10, it is a fairly new and not well-known cancer treatment. However, like MGN-3 it works mainly by building the white blood cells, thus whether CoQ10 itself gets past the blood-brain barrier is a moot issue, because the white blood cells do get past the BBB. However, since CoQ10 is a major treatment for Parkinson's disease, which is a brain disease, it is clear that the effects of CoQ10 get into the brain. Several vendors of CoQ10 claim they have developed a way of getting CoQ10 past the blood-brain barrier. Whether all this fuss is necessary or not, I do not know, it certainly cannot hurt. It is clear that CoQ10 would be a solid treatment for brain cancer in any case. Here are some of the vendors that make this claim: http://www.integrativeinc.com/vitalineformulary/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabindex=2&tabid=138 http://www.ubiquitousonline.com/coq10.rep/comped http://www.enzy.com/promos/coq10/coq10_4.asp

Shark Liver Oil and Shark Cartilage (dogfish shark)
"Experiments in rats showed squalamine shrinks the deadliest form of brain cancer, glioblastoma. All cancerous tumors require blood vessels to feed their cells, and squalamine may be able to starve them to death. Like the research on angiogenesis inhibitors, the much-talked about treatment that blocks the growth of new blood vessels to tumors in mice, the investigation of squalamine is in the beginning stages."
"Squalamine, found in shark liver oil, 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" But that's not all:
"One of the principle agents in Shark Liver Oil which helps to increase immune function are 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."

Hydroxygen Plus (now Oxygen Elements Plus) and MSM
Hydroxygen Plus is now known as "Oxygen Elements Plus." Here is their home web site:
Alpha Lipoic Acid and MSMThere are two MUST supplements for anyone on a brain cancer treatment program. They are MSM and Alpha Lipoic Acid. These are two key nutrients that are known to penetrate the blood-brain barrier. However, do NOT use ALA if using PolyMVA because ALA is already part of PolyMVA. Note: Do not forget the importance of a Phase Two treatment protocol after all symptoms of cancer are gone.
