Welcome!

A bit more about Cancer

2014 - A Life Changing Year

My Top Tips for Prevention

I am not a medical practitioner. If you have health concerns it is advisable you seek advice from a qualified medical professional before taking or refraining from any

action.

3

What is Cancer?• 1933 Dr Otto Warberg, Nobel Prize Winner• Discovered that when a healthy cell is deprived of oxygen, the cells

turns cancerous

• Process involves a change in cell metabolism

• Break down of the mitochondria and metabolism becomes a fermentation process requiring 50x as much sugar as a health cell to survive

• Cancer hates Oxygen

• Cancer loves Sugar

4

We all have Cancer!

• Everyone produces cancer cells

• In the region of 200 -1000 cancer cells per day are produced

• The immune system has a remarkable ability to eradicate cancer cells, as well as any invading bacteria/viruses/parasites

• With a healthy immune system the cancerous cells are attacked and nuked.

5

Cancer is Modern Western disease• Early 1900’s only 3 in 100 affected, now more than 1 in 3 and is expected

to rise to 1 in 2 by 2020!

• Our bodies are exposed to such high levels of toxins, hormone disrupters, EMF, and psychological STRESS

• Little time for rest, relaxation, and to be at one with nature

• Evolution is unable to keep up with the pace

• In remote parts of the world cancer is still virtually unheard of, e.g. Hunzas

• In the Far East breast cancer is referred to as ‘Rich Women’s Disease’

6

Conventional WisdomWhat is Cancer?

• Experts can’t seem to agree

• The cell DNA becomes damaged – this may be due to radiation or toxins/carcinogens and the cells start to behave badly

• The cells resist apoptosis (cell suicide) and instead continue to multiply uncontrollably

• Much emphasis on genetic link.

7

Naturopathic WisdomWhat is Cancer?

• A systemic disease, affects the whole body• Impaired immune system• Acidic body environment• Inflammation• Disease process starts many years before tumours are

detected.• The tumour is just one of the late symptoms• Tests now available which can detect cancer up to16

years before tumours are detected!

8

What are the causal factors?About 50% of cancers are thought to be diet related, so what about the other 50%?• Poor diet/hydration• Toxins and heavy metals, in particular mercury and aluminium• Oestrogen overload - Pill, HRT, Xenoestrogens, also known oestrogen

mimics or ‘gender benders’ • Obesity• Lack of exercise• Parasites, Viruses, Candida?• Electromagnetic Radiation• Radiation/Radon• Trauma – leading to inflammation• Psychological events – cells have memory!• Genetic predisposition may increase odds by 3-10%

9

The Oestrogen Factor

• About 70% of tumours are oestrogen positive.• Oestrogen receptors on the cancer cells onto which the

oestrogen binds.• The oestrogen stimulates tumour growth.• Both men and women have natural oestrogen • BIG problem now with excess oestrogen

‘Oestrogen - The Killer in our Midst’ by Chris Woollams, www.canceractive.com

10

Poor Diet

• Western diet is highly processed and lacking in essential nutrients

• Food preparation further denatures the nutrients in the food i.e. deep fried foods, microwave foods, and can lead to harmful free radicals

• A diet deficient in nutrients means the immune system will be impaired and body will not be able to fight off the disease

• Most cancer patients are lacking in essential vitamins and minerals, may be due to poor diet or malabsorption eg due to toxins and intestinal parasites

11

Heavy Metals

• Amalgam Fillings – Mercury!• Aluminium – food products, aluminium pans• Industrial exposure

12

Toxins

• After World War II the worldwide production of chemicals was 1 million tonnes. Now it is almost 500 million tonnes!

• We are exposed to an average 200 toxins per day

• Evolutionary process can’t keep up.

13

Common Toxins

• Formaldehyde (found in nail varnish) – banned in Sweden and Japan

• US study showed women working in nail bars had a higher rate of breast cancer .

• Dichlorobenzene – eg. air fresheners, nice smelly stuff• Xenooestrogens - Skin products, cleaning products• Phthalates - Plastic bottles/cling film, childrens toys• California has banned the sale of plastic toys for

children under 3 years of age.

14

Oestrogen!

Cutting back meat and diary during teens and pre-teen years significantly reduces the risk of breast cancer…

‘Several female hormones, which increase with the onset of puberty, were lowered by 20-30%....simply by having girls of 8-10 years of age consume a modestly low fat, low animal based diet for 7 years’ The China Study, by Dr Colin T Campbell

15

Obesity

• Obese people have a significantly increased risk of developing cancer

• Fat cells produce oestrogen

• Fat cells store toxins

16

Lack of Exercise

• Reduced oxygen uptake by the cells

• Sluggish lymphatic system

• More tendency to be overweight

17

Parasites

18

Symptoms of Parasites

• Constipation/diarrhoea• IBS symptoms• Irritability/nervousness• Fatigue/weakness• Skin problems• Sugar craving• Allergies/intolerances• Muscle cramps• Anaemia• Candida• Joint pains

19

Parasites, Viruses and Candida• Some scientists believe there is a strong link between cancer and

parasites, viruses, and Candida• Cancer research estimate 15-20% of cancers are caused by a virus,

eg HPV, Helicobacter pylorus• Many scientists think the effect of parasites/viruses could be

much higher• Dr Hulda Clark – Fasciolopsis Buski parasite• Dr Royal Rife – The Rife virus• Dr Tulio Simoncini, an Italian Oncologist – link with Candida

• Bioresonance tests show that ALL cancer patients have all three of the above, including me!

20

Electromagnetic RadiationEMF

• Mobile phones• WiFi• Bluetooth• Mobile phone masts• Smart meters – not so smart!

21

Reduce EMF Exposure

• The European Union recently passed a resolution urging all member states to kick Wifi out of schools and go back to fixed line internet, plus restrict mobile phone use and prepare warning leaflets for parents, children and teachers

• www.wifiinschools.org.uk• www.wiredchild.org• www.es-uk.info – advice on electrosensitivity

22

Trauma

• May lead to an inflammatory response

• Many scientists and naturopaths believe there is a link between trauma and tumour progression

23

Stress

• The ‘Fight or Flight’ Response is an in built survival instinct. At times of fear our body produces significantly increased amounts of adrenaline to cope with impending danger.

• However we may not often be faced by a bear intruder! Yet we still produce these stress hormones due to other stress such as work, relationship, or financial pressures

• It is well known that chronic stress impairs the immune system.

• It is also well known that stress hormones stimulate tumour growth!

24

Deep RootedPsychological Trauma

• Cells have memory!• Past life traumas can affect the body at a cellular level,

which can then manifest as dis-ease in the body at a later stage.

• By working at a deep level on emotional wounds we can initiate the physical healing process

• We can affect our genes – epigenetics

• Bruce Lipton – ‘The Biology of Belief’• Dr David R Hamilton - ‘It’s The Thought That Counts’

2014 – A life Changing Year Dec 2013 → Sept 2014

So what have I been doing?

• Reading, reading, reading and more reading…

• Then gradually incorporated lots of stuff and cut out lots of stuff…

What did I cut out?

Nutrition

‘Let food be thy medicine. Let medicine be thy food’

Hippocrates

Foods to include• ‘Rainbow’ diet, Chris Woollams, CancerACTIVE

• Organic and raw - as much as possible• Regular juicing• Not just 5 a day, preferably at least 10-15 a day if not more!• Lots of greens/phytoestrogens – especially cruciferous vegetables – broccoli, cabbage,

kale, cauliflower…• Lots of herbs, ginger, garlic, lemon• Flaxseed oil, and freshly ground flaxseeds/linseeds – Omega 3 – ‘Budwig Muesli’• Organic berries – ellagic acid• Red grapes, occasional red wine – resveratrol• Beans, pulses, lentils, brown rice• Green tea• Good fats – coconut oil, olive oil, flaxseed oil, hemp oil, avocados• Dairy alternatives: Coconut/almond/oat milk• Nuts and seeds

• Sugar, sugary drinks, and refined carbohydrates• Sugar alternatives, eg aspartame, instead can use Xylitol and

Stevia• Dairy• Alcohol• Caffeinated drinks – tea/coffee• Highly processed foods• Deep fried foods – free radicals• ‘Bad’ fats, no low fat spreads, butter is better – preferably

stick to coconut oil, olive oil, flaxseed oil• Microwaved foods

32

Water

• We are made up of 85% water.• We need to constantly replenish with CLEAN

water.• Clean flowing river or stagnant pond water?• Drink at least 2 litres of water/day• Should be clean filtered or distilled water – to

remove chlorine, and other toxins.

33

Ozone GENERATOR

Easy and convenient wayto clean fruit and veg.

Helps to get rid of pesticideResidue and parasite eggs.

Also a convenient toxin freemethod to clean other stuff.

34

Dietary Supplements

• Turmeric (curcumin)• Resveratrol• Vit C, Vit K, • Vit D ( or preferably sunshine)• Selenium & Zinc • Plant based mineral supplements: ‘Ancient Purity’ or ‘Sizzling

Minerals’

35

High Dose Vitamin C

• Often referred to as ‘Nature’s Chemo’• Dr Linus Pauling,• Dr Steve Hickey, Manchester

• Originally Vitamin C injections recommended• Now liposomal vitamin C, i.e. vitamin C crystals combined with lecithin

granules.

• Recommended dose 5g/day for maintaining good health, (not the measly 500mg as per RDA)

• Considerably more for cancer patients, ie up to bowel tolerance level, this may be @ 15-20g/day

36

Oxygen

• Exercise

• Yoga

• Deep breathing

37

The Mental Stuff

• Mindfulness• Healing meditation• Yoga• ‘The Journey’ Brandon Bays• ‘Absolute Specialists’ – Clare Walters

8 months after diagnosis

• Tumours still there but no signs of growth or spread – they appeared to have gone to sleep.

• But I still had a whopping great big lump!• So for my next plan of action…• Black Salve…

What is Black Salve?

• A herbal paste• Originates from Native American Indians• Also similar paste, called ‘Gumby Gumby’ that

originates from the Aborigines• Considerable evidence of it’s efficacy• Most reports are of its use with skin cancer and

breast cancer• 3 main active ingredients: bloodroot, galangal,

and zinc chloride

Day 114th August 2014

• Application of the black salve paste

Day 417th August 2014

• Reaction to salve treatment is starting

Day 720th August 2014

• Further reaction due to black salve

Day 10 24th August 2014

• Further reaction…

Day 1529th August 2014

• Eschar is starting to separate

Day 191st September 2014

• Eschar fixed firmly in place due to dried blood and exudate

• I applied poultice which softened the edges

Day 202nd September 2014

• Part of tumour came away

Day 213rd September 2014

• 2nd Application of the black salve paste

Day 257th September 2014

• 4 days after 2nd Application of the black salve

Day 2810th September 2014

• Larger part of tumour comes away

The Healing Process15th September

• 5 days after main tumour came out

The Healing Process 22nd September

• Comparison: Day of tumour removal and 12 days after main tumour came out

The Healing Process 9th October

• Comparison: Day of tumour removal and 4 weeks after main tumour came out

Thermal Imaging Scans

So What now?

• I feel healthier than I’ve felt in 20 years• Still got the smaller tumour• Still monitor with ultrasound and IR scans• May or may not do a further salve treatment• Keep on the protocol – it’s now part of my life.

55

Summing up : What steps can you take to reduce your chances of developing cancer?• Good nutrition and hydration• Good quality supplements• Regular Exercise and weight management• Adequate sleep – melatonin• Cleanse the body – really important that the bowels and the liver are

working properly, colonics, saunas, bathe with Epsom salts• Reduce exposure to toxins• Reduce oestrogen overload• Reduce EMF exposure, and balance body energy• NO STRESS!• Work on clearing deep rooted psychological blocks …

‘ It’s the thought that counts’ Dr David R Hamilton

56

Reduce Toxins & Oestrogen

• Change to white fillings• Pill and HRT• Dairy & meat• Xenooestrogens from skin products and

cleaning products.

57

Cleansing

• 2-3litres water/day• Detox through nutrients – chelating effect• Healthy digestive tract - colonics• Saunas• Detox through bathing in Epsom salts• Body brushing• Liver cleansing

58

Reduce EMF Exposure

• The EU MPs passed a resolution urging all member states to kick Wifi out of schools and go back to fixed line internet, plus restrict mobile phone use and prepare warning leaflets for parents, children and teachers

• www.wifiinschools.org.uk• www.wiredchild.org• www.es-uk.info – advice on electrosensitivity

59

Maintain Healthy Weight

• Fat cells store toxins – adds to toxin load on the body

• Fat cells also produce oestrogen – adds to oestrogen load on the body

60

Exercise

• 3-5 hours/week of moderate exercise.• If recovering cancer patients maintain 3-5

hours per week there is a 50% less chance of getting a recurrence!

• Increased oxygen uptake.• Weight maintenance.• Keeps the lymph flowing.

61

Get to bed early!

• The IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) has declared that poor sleeping habits are carcinogenic!

• Melatonin is produced between 11pm and 2am.• Studies show that there is a link between low

melatonin levels an increased cancer rates.• Higher rates of cancer amongst shift workers.• Should sleep in a darkened room.• Can get melatonin supplements.• The liver’s prime time is 10pm – 2am.

62

Reduce Stress

KEEPCALM

andDONT GET

CANCER

63

Holistic Treatments

• Can reduce the effects of EMF by balancing the body’s energy

• Can reduce the effect emotional and physiological effects of stress

• Massage, Reflexology, Shiatsu, Acupuncture, Bowen, Reiki….

64

What Else?

• Focus on Health not Disease• Consider replacing amalgam fillings• Regular self examination – get to know your

breasts!• Don’t ignore the signs…• Send your body for an annual ‘Body MOT’ and

regular servicing• Bioresonance and Thermal Imaging

65

Cancer Treatment Options

• Conventional Approach – surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, followed by drugs such as Tamoxifen.

• Natural Approach – eg. diet, lifestyle, adequate sleep, homeopathy, herbal, dietary supplements, enzymes, coffee enemas, saunas, essential oils, meditation healing, visualization, relaxation, massage, yoga, energy healing, e.g. Bioresonance, Reiki, Bowen, Acupuncture, Reflexology…

• Integrated Approach – using a combination of the above two approaches – ideally cherry pick the best of both

66

Treatment Options

• Other less well known treatments with limited studies on their efficacy.

• Some of these may become more widely used over coming years, and may bridge the gap between conventional and natural.

• Bioresonance, Hyperthermia, targeted chemo

67

My Vision for the future…

• Less surgery, chemo, and radiotherapy• Not rushing patients into making hasty treatment decisions• Better preventative health measures –e.g. regular

bioresonance testing and thermal IR scans.• Blood test that can predict cancer should be widely available!• Communication between The Scientists and the Medical

Profession.• More natural and integrated approaches.• Get rid of the ‘FEAR’ of the dreaded C word• Get rid of Cancer
