The Purpose of a Tumor
A cancer tumor forms as a filtration and storage center for the removal and containment of poisons so they will not circulate throughout the body, causing an early death. To simply remove the tumor does nothing to address the causes of why the body formed the tumor in the first place. Tumors are not body mistakes. They are examples of body wisdom at work, making a desperate stand to protect us from the effects of poisons we have allowed into our bodies. |

Inhibit production of 5-HETE, and you can literally starve the tumor. Also, according to a 2001 report in Cancer Metastasis Review, substances that inhibit 5-LO "cause tumor cell apop-tosis, reduce tumor cell motility and invasiveness, or decrease tumor angiogenesis and growth."7 So one smart thing for men and women alike would be to modify their diets to include low-inflammation foods such as wild salmon, organic vegetables and fruits, and the elimination of fried, greasy foods. |

When these tumors become sufficiently large, the blood supply to the tumor may not be able to support all of the tumor tissue, so some tissue begins to die. And it is this dying off of tumor tissue -- a sort of internal rotting of flesh -- that creates this off-gassing of detectable cancer smells.
As you can tell from this explanation, cancer is unfortunately only really easy to smell when it has advanced to aggressive, late-stage status. We can't smell very early stages of cancer. If there are only 10,000 cancer cells in a small tumor somewhere, they may not be detectable through this method. |

To simply remove the tumor does nothing to address the causes of why the body formed the tumor in the first place. Tumors are not body mistakes. They are examples of body wisdom at work, making a desperate stand to protect us from the effects of poisons we have allowed into our bodies. Nevertheless, if we do not take corrective action to help the body, sooner or later the tumor will be unable to contain the growing number of cancer cells; they will metastasize, or spread, to other parts of the body and eventually take over. |

They don't understand how someone can treat cancer without treating the tumor itself. Because conventional docs think the symptom is the disease or the disorder. But naturopathic medicine sees the cancer tumor as only a symptom of a much deeper problem. Just like the water dripping into the home is only a symptom of a broken roof in need of repair, a cancer tumor is only a symptom of a serious underlying metabolic problem.
The naturopathic physician would fix the cause of the problem, but they wouldn't stop there. |

It can shrink a tumor (but does nothing to kill the tumor's "cancer stem cells" that will regrow the tumor later). That is exactly what the cancer industry is basing everything on. Have you ever noticed that they do not run drug trials for long durations anymore? That's because they want to get the early results that mask symptoms without ever facing the truth about what happens when you take their drugs over a period of many years or decades.
The drug companies know most of their drugs are toxic and the longer you take them, the worse the cumulative effects are. |
| Yes, it might also be shrinking a tumor, but the point here is not simply to emerge from cancer treatment with only small tumors. The point is to emerge as a healthy human being with a strong immune system and cellular balance that prevents or eliminates tumors altogether. That kind of outcome is not at all offered by conventional medicine. |

In breast cancer, tumor growth is stimulated by estrogen. Fiber actually binds with estrogen and escorts it out of the body through normal bowel elimination. Hence, the theory goes that fiber can slow down the growth of breast tumors because it binds to estrogen and lowers the body's levels of this hormone, which can worsen tumor growth. This has been shown in numerous laboratory tests. What's more, fiber may help push out cancerous substances that have reached the intestines before they can cause serious damage. |

In other words, by moderating the COX-2 and 5-LO inflammatory cascade, we can do everything possible to stop cancer cells in their tracks. |

The vitamin B-3 had no direct effect on tumor volume in these animals; however, it decreased 86% after irradiation in niacinamide-treated mice, and remained 79% lower at 4 weeks. Mitotic activity also remained low in niacinamide-treated animals after irradiation, but returned to pre-irradiation levels in non-treated mice. Kjellen suggested, therefore, that niacinamide might have a role in the treatment of malignant tumors.
Other authors also have suggested that niacinamide increases the toxicity of irradiation against tumors in mice. M.R. Horsman and colleagues1?-^ and D.J. |

Paroxysmal hypertension always arouses the physician's suspicion of a tumor of the adrenal gland, called a pheochromocytoma (or pheo for short), which secretes adrenaline and noradrenaline and can cause episodic hypertension. Although paroxysmal hypertension fits the textbook symptoms of a pheo, fewer than 2 percent turn out to have the tumor. Hundreds of papers have been written about this rare tumor, with fewer than twenty papers written about the other 98 percent who don't have the tumor. |

Primary hyperparathyroidism comes from a tumor of the parathyroid gland that overproduces PTH. This often causes high calcium levels that will soar higher if you begin supplementing vitamin D and/or calcium. You need to correct this problem before you replace vitamin D or calcium. If you have a parathyroid tumor, you probably will be referred to a head and neck surgeon, who can remove this tumor.
One reason why it's important to identify other causes of high blood calcium levels is that sometimes bone pain related to cancer is accompanied by high calcium levels. |

Rheumatism
¦ tumor therapy adjuvant
For treating degenerative inflammation of the joints by stimulating cuti-visceral reflexes following local inflammation brought about by intradermal injections. Also used as a palliative therapy for malignant tumors through non-specific stimulation. Folk medicine uses include long-term therapy for cases of mild high blood pressure and as an arteriosclerosis prophylactic.
Mistletoe tea may be used for high blood pressure, epilepsy, whooping cough, asthma, vertiginous attack, amenorrhea, diarrhea, chorea, nervous tachycardia, hysteria and nervousness. |

In fact, to this day, most doctors and many patients still believe that cancer is a physical thing: a tumor. In reality, a tumor is only a side effect of cancer, not its cause. A tumor is simply a physical manifestation of a cancer pattern that is expressed by the body. When a person "has cancer," what they really have is a sluggish immune system that's failing to limit the growth of the cancerous cells we all have in our bodies. A far better name for the disease would be Sluggish Immune System Disorder. |

When you look it up in the neurosurgical literature, there is a rather significant rise in the incidents of what used to be a rare tumor. We're seeing a lot more of the primary lymphoma of the brain, which is a little different than lymphomas you see elsewhere. When you look back at the original studies done by the G.D. Searle company, they found lymphomas as well as primary brain tumors and tumors of multiple organs. All of this correlation shows that we've got a powerful carcinogenic substance here. It is either acting as a co-carcinogen or a primary carcinogen. |

In all but one instance, the substances only increased the photons from tumor cells, making it even more deadly to the body. The single success story was mistletoe, which seemed to help the body to 'resocialize' the photon emission of tumor cells back to normal. In one of numerous cases, Popp came across a woman in her thirties with breast and vaginal cancer. Popp tried mistletoe and other plant extracts on samples of her cancerous tissue and found that one particular mistletoe remedy created coherence in the tissue similar to that of the body. |

The naturopathic physician would fix the cause of the problem, but they wouldn't stop there. They would also realize that if the roof has one hole in it now, it seems likely that there could be other holes that are beginning to form, too. |

If the tumor appears aggressive, radical treatment is indicated; if not, the question is this: What should be done? Should the patient still be subject to prostatectomy or radiation? The first leads to difficult surgery and recovery; both cause urinary and sexual dysfunction in a substantial proportion of men. These serious side effects notwithstanding, there are other issues. A large proportion of cancers detected by PSA may be so-called indolent tumors, ones that are unlikely to produce clinical symptoms or affect survival. |

Debating the Dose
Different doses and formulations of cranberries have been used in studies on UTIs, and some researchers have argued that we don't really know the optimal dose, which is probably true. |

Lisa began working on the tumor with visualization, and she and I also did a visualization session. Once she began visualizing her white cells attacking it and eliminating it totally, as a blueprint signaling her intentions to her body, it disappeared in a very short time. It remains absent to this date, more than a year later. Interestingly, in spite of the biopsy and all the X-rays, her physicians now deny that this tumor was ever there. It simply does not fit their belief system of what can happen.
Lisa is in remission again and happily married. |

Currently on the market for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease are classes of drugs that remove or inactivate certain immune activity, such as tumor necrosis factor, or TNF. tumor necrosis factor, which belongs to a group of proteins that communicate with cells, is essential in maintaining cell life and death decisions and control of T-cell populations. The thought has been that if you could prevent TNF from signaling the release of joint-damaging substances in diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, you could go a long way in treating the disease. |

It's important to get both types of fiber naturally found in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. |

The size of a tumor is not a measure of the degree of cancer that exists on a patient's body, and shrinking a tumor is not a meaningful measure of a cancer treatment's success.
The rapid rise in depression, ADHD and other mental or "behavioral" disorders is so large that it can only be explained by either an infectious epidemic (in which case the CDC should be involved) or rampant disease mongering where drug companies invent diseases and push them onto children and adults in order to sell more drugs. |
