Cancer Alternative Remedies

HOME | REMOVE BLOCKAGES to Healing

 

If you are looking for Cancer Alternative Medicine, you  probably need information from people who have tried them before and you would want the Very Best. 

Well, I have experience and information to share.    

 

Hi, my name is Grace MacCormick , diagnosed  brain cancer & in 2004-2005 had Chemotherapy.  My case was delicate - an operation was impossible  & made worst by metastasis to Lungs.   Metastasis is a terrible complication and my doctor quit on me.  He gave up but Not Me. I'll fight this cancer demon if it takes forever.  I have searched and searched hard for Cancer Alternative Medicines.   Not all alternatives are good, some have little healing value and raise hopes but divert us from using better healing modalities.  With cancer, you want the best alternative possible, right? 

I would not be alive today without help from alternative medicine. 

 

Well , my lung cancer is gone, the brain tumor is about half the size

when it was diagnosed.    

I believe if I continue what I'm doing now, it will be total healing.

The best thing about my improvement is that I am well enough and I have gone back to work, isn't that GREAT ? !!!  I am a Cancer Survivor  !!! Yes !!!

 

NOTE:  Do not forget to read the 2nd Part - REMOVING BLOCKAGES to Healing    It is accessed thru the button next to the HOME button.  This is important if you want to get CURED.

There are ways one can distinguish good cancer alternative medicine from low-value treatments.

 Most alternative medicines do some good in the beginning but the really good ones will improve in many ways, and will continue to help and heal .  This healing goes far alleviating many symptons, will continue to do so with time - the improvement will be noticeable because feeling ill will be replaced with having more energy and feeling better in general.   If you’ve chosen good alternatives, there will be less pain and that is a criteria that lets you know you are using the right alternative.

 

If a Cancer has advanced into terminal, you may have to use more than one alternative because the  name of the game is Survival.

 

 

 

 I have a selection of the Best and the Worst and evaluated how well they perform against cancer.

 

HERBS & Herb formula- Dr. James Duke, a distinguished herbalist and author emphasized his strong belief that from the many, many herbs all over the world, there must be a number that have the power to alleviate, control and cure cancer.  I agree with him and believe we must include herb/s as ONE of the therapies to control & fix cancers.

 

Price is an important factor too, how many can afford $10,000 to $25,000/year.

The info gathered here includes Name of Product, Manufacturer or Source, Price, Formula, Availability, Rating and Website if any.

In Rating  - the price, availability and effectivity are what counts.

 Rating is as follows:

      1        -  POOR

          2            AVERAGE

                     GOOD

    3 +    ONE OF THE BEST

NOTE:  The 3 and 3+ rating are able to bring pain relief.  The 1 star and 2 star rating also do that in the beginning but  the  effects wears off at some point so go with the 3 and 3+ rating  alternatives.

 

IMPORTANT:  Cancers are fast growing Tumors - There is a need to slow them down.

For anyone serious about healing and even possibly getting CURED, one must switch to a vegetarian diet.  If you think medicines alone work, understand that an effort by the cancer patient is required.  When you eat, do not feed the cancer Too.   Slow the cancer down by lessening your intake of sugars and especially high protein by switching to plant-based foods.

Example - If there is say Beef Stew on the table, take the stew but not the meat!!!

Important STeps - If you are interested in improvement & healing there are additional measures to get better results before taking Alternative Medicines.

I. - Vitamins & minerals -make sure you get enough- if your diet does not supply enough of these necessary nutrients your health and healing would be lacking.   For example some people think that Vitamin D is not important but talking to the experts who really know, I have bbeen informed that Calcium is necessary for apoptosis ( cancer cell death)of cancer cells and Vitamin D is responsible for absorption and availability of calcium. 

Another example - Zinc & Selenium are minerals is necessary for proper function of cells and specially blood cells in fighting cancer.   So make sure you get enough of these.

 

II. - Aspirin or Ibuprofen - I was told by a Biochemist friend that all tumors produce Prostaglandin E (PGE).  PGE in the area of the tumor slows down white blood cell function - they lessen the entry of glucose into blood cells.  It is known that there are 2 cells or organs that use more glucose than most other tissues and these are brain cells and blood cells.  Aspirin & Ibuprofen work by reducing production of Prostaglandin E so this is important as part of treatment.  INdomethacin and Celebrex also work the same as Aspirin however, these need a prescription which is why aspirin & ibuprofen are recommended.

As for dosage - minimum dose is 2 aspirins morning and night, for ibuprofen minimum dose is 2 tablets of 200 mg. ibuprofen.

You may go for 3 of each twice a day.  

 

III. - REplace sugar with artificial sweeteners.  Stevia is the best because it is a natural sweetner.  Second choice is Sucralose and/or Splenda which is not much absorbed from the digestive system.  If cost is a problem then then other sweetners will have to do but I've read of problems with cyclamate & the Aspartame.   

 

Now, from the list below, the Alternative medicines I used - once I tried Oriel Herbal  #14 this medicine I used sometimes alone and at times add Euphorbia hirta  which has an additional good effect together.  These 2 are the only remedies I continue to use, the others I did not need anymore.

 

1.   Essiac Herb Formula by various Manufacturers

Essiac Formula is one of the most popular herb formulas for Cancer.  It was first made available by Nurse Rene Caisse who gave it the name which is Caisse spelled backward.  There are 2 version of the Essiac Formula.  One is Burdock root, sheep sorrel, slippery elm bark and Turkey rhubarb and the second version is Burdock root, sheep sorrel, slippery elm bark, Turkey rhubarb, kelp seaweed, Blessed thistle, Watercress and Red Clover.

      The second version seems to be the right one but the remaining ingredients are in much smaller quantities than just the first 4 ingredients.  The good thing about Essiac is that it is indicated for just about all types of cancers and the formula is quite safe for use, there is no danger of toxicity.

  There are several sources for Essiac with costs all varying – they are found in most search engines. Just place essiac on the box and press search. 

my rating -      3        Good

One product is Flor-Essence by Flora available from

http://www23.netrition.com/flor_essence_page.html

 

2.  Anvirzel by Ozelle Pharmaceuticals

 Anvirzel    from herb Nereum Oleander  was researched by Dr. Ozel who has  produced it under his company Ozelle Pharmaceuticals.  It is produced in Texas but until now is only available in Honduras  cost over $7000 for 6 month supply.                                 

No rating – not available except in Honduras

3.  Decancerlin Tablets  by Guangzhong Drug Manufacturing Industry Co.,  Guangdong, China

This is an ingredient for all types of cancers as claimed by the manufacturer.

   Ingredients:                      

Selaginella Shi Shang Bai                                                      

Website – Their website is gone now but a few years back they were found all over the Internet.

Since their site is nowhere in to be found, it probably didn’t make enough sales to stay in business.

4.  Albarin  -extract of Aloe Vera  - this product has to be injected because the active ingredient is aloe-emodin which is poorly absorbed if taken by oral route.  There seems to be good results from this treatment.

However, U.S. government agents have raided clinics that have given Albarin to cancer patients and have

Closed  these places.  If you find tablets or extracts claiming to be Albarin or Albarin-like products, beware because the real drug can only be correctly administered by injection.

 If you find suppliers of Aloe vera Acemannan, that is not the same as Albarin.  As I understand it, the active ingredient is probably alo-emodin which is the chemical that is not much absorbed when taken orally.  However, if aloe-emodin is injected it stays long in the blood which is the reason it can work against cancer.  However, this drug is not even available due the U.S. government restrictions and confiscation of Albarin.

Rating – None , not available

6.  Jason Winters’ Tea (by Jason Winter International)contains herbalene, red clover, Indian Sage and special spices.

It is claimed that one of the ingredient is Chaparral which is one of the reasons it is effective.

 

I did not sense any chaparral taste in the product because I am familiar with chaparral which is pungent even in small amounts.   The taste is similar to tea because it contains tea.

  A few folks who took this product showing higher levels of liver enzymes  aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and Alanine aminotransferase (ALT)which means the ingredients can cause reactions in sensitive individuals.  These enzymes are  elevated when liver cells are affected and happens with tobacco, ingesting alcohol and cigarettes or nicotine-like drugs. Some folks reported this tea is satisfactory.

Price: Range from $14 to $17 depending on source and cheaper if it is a sale.

 One Month supply cost around $18 to $23 depending on supplier.

7.  Typhonium Plus   made by Global BioScience, Jakarta, Indonesia

contains   Composition:
Typhonium flagelliforme 80%, Andrographis paniculata 10%, Curcuma zedoaria 10% (in extract form)

 

This formula is 80 % Typhonium flagelliforme which is a folk remedy herb used in Indonesia for tumors and cancers.

However, I did not recognize any significant action against my cancer.  My experience with this preparation after a month was negative because the pain came back and weakness, it is a sign it stopped working and too soon.

The manufacturer Global Bioscience made some reference to Scientific Journals supposedly stating that the compounds in Typhonium herb have cytotoxic(cancer killing) activity.  However on further investigation specific  journals I found that the Research showed typhonium has POOR and NO CANCER KILLING PROPERTIES.

If you plan to buy this product read the articles below first !!

Typhonium flagelliforme

****chemical constituents were identified as methyl esters of hexadecanoic acid, octadecanoic acid, 9-octadecenoic acid and 9,12-octadecadienoic acid. In addition, several common aliphatics were identified as dodecane, tridecane, tetradecane, pentadecane, hexadecane, heptadecane, octadecane, nonadecane and eicosane. The unique methyl ester of 13-phenyltridecanoic acid was isolated and positively identified using spectroscopic methods. None of the identified compounds showed or are known to have cytotoxic behaviour.                                  

Source: Journal Ethnopharmacology 2001 Sep;77(1):129-31

Cytotoxic means Cancer Killing

 

****extracts prepared from either the roots, tubers, stems or leaves were tested for cytotoxic activity on murine P388 leukaemia cells using the MTT assay method. Both the chloroform (IC50 = 6.0 microg/mL) and hexane (IC50 = 15.0 microg/mL) extract from the 'roots and tubers' exhibited weak cytotoxic activity. The hexane extract (IC50 = 65.0 microg/mL) from the 'stems and leaves' exhibited weaker cytotoxic activity than the chloroform extract (IC50 = 8.0 microg/mL). Although the juice extract from the 'roots and tubers' is frequently consumed for cancer treatment, it exhibited poor cytotoxic activity.

8.  Canelim Capsules  by Foyo Herb

Main Ingredients Radix Curcume, Herba Agrimonia, Fructus Aurantii etc

The manufacturer does not reveal the full formula.

An important question here found in the FAQ-Frequestly Asked Question section of their website. Does Canelim cure cancer? The Manufacture says ” for most types of cancers, the answer is "NO". Though there is cure in some cases, the RATE IS STILL VERY LOW. In fact, there is no cure at present. “  This is found on their website.

9.  VIRGINIA'S HERBAL "E" TONIC  - this is not a new formula, actually this formula is really the Essiac formula with the addition of Echinacea and Black walnut.

HERBAL "E" INGREDIENTS

 

Black Walnut clears the body of parasites and toxins.

Burdock Root cleans the blood of impurities.

Echinacea supports the lymphatic system and gives vitality to the spleen, therefore, improving the immune system and it also gives more power to the other herbs.

FORMULA:

Agaricus blazei

cordyceps sinensis

Lentinula edodes

Grifola frondosa

12. Kanglaite is an extract from the Chinese herb Coix lachrima (Chinese pearl barley) and has been given the name Canserfx.

This is a Chinese investment group and moved to the U.S. lately to do further tests and research.

According to Chinese data, the herb Coix contains fatty acids which were unlike fatty acid previously known and is responsible for the anticancer activity.

However, recently it has been withdrawn from as recent U.S. test seems to indicate it has no anti-cancer activity.

Note: This company has been closed by the U.S. government for making false claims and their address isn’t even real.

Rating:  NONE 

 

 

13. Helleborus Purpurescens is knowledge from Romania.  It is not recommended due to the dangers but I have included it as it is info that is significant in my search.  However, the information is significant because we are always searching for the ones that work. Perhaps someone can combine this herb to make herb combinations since I’ve found combinations are more effective than just one herb.

Rating: None – Danger of Toxicity

 

14. Oriel Herbal Blend available from Canada.

Oriel Herb Formula is a combination of Western and TCM (Traditional  Chinese Medicine).   Formula ingredients:  Aconite -Chinese Aconitum,  Orris Root,  Podophyllum peltatum and Phyllanthus.
 
The above formula has stopped the downward & negative effects of both my brain & lung cancers.  After using it,  I am more relaxed and comfortable.  After using Oriel Herbal for 2 and a half months, the pain of both cancers but especially my headaches were reduced by half and I could reduce my taking pain killers.  After that, this treatment still continued to bring relief and comfort. 
One of the things I like about this formula above is it is non-toxic/safe. 
And second, it is effective against the pain associated with cancer.  This is a strong criteria when choosing a herb formula.
 
Price:  $110 / Box contains 6 packets/ each packet is good for 14 days. The 6 packets will last 12 weeks.
Rating:       3+        The Best
If I were to choose just one remedy, this is the one I will pick.
Do follow the directions.
 
15.   Aristolochia Clematitis is from the same source above and is an alternative for Helleborus above, in case it causes too much untoward reactions, then this herb is a substitute.

16. Paw Paw   Cell -Reg -  acetogenins from Paw paw  by Nature's Sunshine

Paw paw and Graviola are plants that belong to the soursop family and as such their active ingredients works similarly on cancer cells.  PawPaw is found in North America while Graviola grows in South America.

Both have fruits that have characteristic flavor and are edible , the fruits also contain the active ingredients that have anticancer activity. 

Acetogenins work by interfering with the ATP in the cancer cells and in so doing prevent the cell from utilizing energy need of the cell.  This makes paw-paw one of the best products.  The capsules are standardized at 12.5 mg. Of active ingredient per capsule and the dose is 4 capsules a day. According to  JerryMcLaughlin  who studied the effects of acetogenins, the acetogenins from pawpaw have better effect than the graviola species. Mr. Mclaughlin is now part of the company that produces and markets the product for cancer.

Better than average for cancer in general.  A few days after taking pawpaw extract, one feels something in the  area where the cancer is located.  It is a sign that is significant. 

Then about nearly a month after taking this medicine, improvement is noticeable with pain relief, more strength and lessening of the cancer symptoms. What I understand is this drug prevents cancers from using sugar and all cancers feed on lots of sugars.

Note:  It is advisable not to use Burdock Root or the Essiac Formula which contains Burdock which interfere with pawpaw's active principles.

 

Cost for one Month supply:  $29.95

17. Kanta Kari (Solanum xanthocarpum) is an herb from India ( Ayurvedic medicine) for coughs, as a carminative and chest pain.  It is also prescribed for cancers.

A few years back, this herb was much touted in the internet for cancer but these days I don’t see their ads nor their website.

Website:   does not exist now, probably stopped selling.

Rating –     2    Average

 

18.  Euphorbia hirta  -  there is literature that many Euphorbia plants are poisonous but this one is an exception.  It is used for cancer and various other ailments which means it is available from many sources.

Some sell this as dried herbs by the pound and others sell this as capsules usually 500 mg. per capsule.   The usual adult dose for cancer is 1 gram a day as decoction or take the 500 mg caps . twice a day.

500 mg. twice a day equals 1 gram.

 

Rating:    2   Average

Altho, the rating is only average, when E. hirta is combined with Oriel Herbal blend (#14) it has an additional effect of making a stronger healing.  Do try this and see it for yourself.

There are various sources in internet.

 

19.  Turska Formula -tincture formula contains Gelsemium , Poke root, Aconite and Bryonia.

Dosage : 5 drops are recommended 3 times per day. The alkaloids, coumarins, saponins, lectins and aglycones contained in these herbs are thought in traditional botanical terms to dislodge and slough off catabolic waste tissue and promote the drainage of lymphatic fluids from areas affected by the buildup of wastes. This  formula  is available through  Gaia Herbs in  V. Bradshaw
108 Island Ford Rd, Brevard, North Carolina   28712

or NF Formulations in Wilsonville, Oregon.

Note: It requires a prescription to get this formula –  from a Naturopathic physician or Herbalist.

20. N-Tense by Raintree Nutrition                                 They have botanical products from South America.            It is interesting  that graviola and pawpaw are related plants which means they have merit for cancer therapy.

Maytenus ilicifolia

Momordica charantia – Bitter melon

Scoparia dulcis

21.   apricot kernels  - source for amygdalin/ laetrile.

I'm not sure if this is safe or not.  Some say it is safe but there are problems if you don't know how to use it.   For example amygdalin can be toxic if one takes big doses of vitamin C.    Not sure the explaination for this.

Laetile works with the release of cyanogen in the cancer cell and poisons the cancer.

Actual sources for apricot or amygdalin is not sure.   But some people say it is found in the internet if you know where to look. 

I need people to give me more info on this to add please.

 

22.  Escozul is coined from two words Escorpion Azul or blue scorpion Venom from Cuba.

It is simply water with a few drops of scorpion venom added and taken orally for various cancers.  There seems to be good results with some forms of cancer including brain cancer and even other ailments such as HIV/AIDS.

Altho 50,000 patients are said to have taken the treatment, it is hard for Americans to get this therapy with the trade embargo going on between U.S. and Cuba.  The best way to get this product is to take a trip to Cuba and go direct to their treatment center.

Rating: None, Escozul is not available

 

23. DCA - Dichloroacetate available as Sodium Dichloroacetate.

I have included this because some  are insisting and clamoring to list this new chemical though still experimental .

 

I understand that if one follows the dose of  8 mg./Kilo of body weight a day, then this cancer remedy is nontoxic and can be taken without untoward  effects even with long term use.

Please respect that a higher dose is known to develop problems on the nerves with long term use.

(NOTE: One Gram is 1000 mg. and One Kilo is 2.2 Lbs.)

 

Rating:  I need folks who have tried it to write and evaluate it.
