The "Cancer Machine" will stop at NOTHING to attack natural supplements when it comes to treating disease. This I know now that I have read this story:

BRADENTON, Fla. – Vince Palella's brother got him started on supplements.

"His wife is a health food nut," said Palella, a 76-year-old retired contractor who wanted to atone for years of smoking and lunches that were "more drinking than lunch."

When Palella learned he had cancer, he added the chiropractor's "prostate cancer protocol" to the other combos he was taking. They had names ending in "plex" and he had no idea what they contained.

And so it went until a dietitian at Tampa's Moffitt Cancer Center asked if he were taking any supplements. He had always said 'no' when doctors asked about medication use.

But he told the dietitian the truth. She was alarmed, and at his next visit, "She had a file ready for me," Palella said. She said that some of his herbal pills could interfere with hormone treatments for his cancer, and showed him a recent medical study raising concern about that.

"It scared the hell out of me. I thought, 'I'm not helping things here,'" Palella said.

He cleaned out his medicine cabinet.

"I thought I was really doing a great thing and strengthening my immune system," he said. "I feel so stupid."

I have no doubt that Vince really is scared now. Did the dietitician also tell him the scary side effects of the hormone therapy he is on or the radiation he is probably getting? I will bet not.

The headline is written to alarm - "Cancer patient learns herbals can interfere"  What they DON'T say is that herbals and natural supplements can ONLY interfere with the poisoning of your body by their toxic treatments.  So in essence, they don't want you to take natural supplements at all and they are using this as the basis.

YET it has been PROVEN that most natural supplements DO NOT INTERFERE WITH CANCER TREATMENT and in fact CAN ONLY HELP THE PATIENT REDUCE NASTY SIDE EFFECTS FROM THE TOXICITY. I will prove this later on.

But first, a side story. Recently, my 87 year old Dad had a nasty fall and ended up in the ER. The ER doctor looked over his list of "medications" most of which are supplements such as Vitamin C, Lecithin, Glucosamine etc.  He promptly told my Dad that he was "WASTING HIS MONEY AND PISSING THESE SUPPLEMENTS OUT AND THAT THEY HAD NO EFFECT".  I of course, sparred with the doctor and gave him the smackdown and said to stay out of nutritional advice since he was not a nutritional expert - to which he got quite huffy since nobody ever questions doctors. Bah humbug.

Second story, my Mom died of lung cancer treatment recently and I said that specifically because she did NOT die of lung cancer but the effects of ruining her immune system with toxic crap.  During this process, which I tried to avert her from but she would not listen, they challenged her use of fish oils saying it would intefere with some toxic thing they would be doing to her. So this attack on natural substances is an ongoing brainwashing campaign and I can't even imagine how many thousands of people are being turned away from natural supplements and natural healing because of this sickening propaganda campaign by the Pharmaceutical CARTEL.

If you do a google search for the phrase "Vince Palella" and "Bradenton" all you get is article after article, fed by the Associated Press - on this same story of the natural supplement user who was saved by the cancer dietitician. Absolute propaganda and absolutely SICKENING.

Now - on to the proof that natural supplements DO NOT INTERFERE and in fact can only PROTECT the cancer patient from the toxic poisoning of cancer "treatment".

First we have this scientific article from 2003 which reveals that ANTIOXIDANTS BENEFIT CANCER PATIENTS USING MAINSTREAM TREATMENTS!

The study results have been vexing oncologists for years.

On one hand you have research that shows that if you administer low doses of antioxidants to animals with cancer immediately before chemotherapy or radiology treatments, the antioxidants will have a protective effect on the cancer cells, rendering the treatments less effective.

But, on the other hand, other studies show a seemingly contradictory result: If you give high doses of antioxidants to animals with cancer in the days leading up these standard therapies, the growth of the cancer cells is inhibited – thereby enhancing the beneficial effects of chemotherapy and radiation. Furthermore, these antioxidants decrease the toxicity of these treatments on normal cells.

I would say, though, that 95 percent of oncologists are afraid of using antioxidants in conjunction with standard therapies because they are afraid it will hurt their effectiveness.”

Over the 25 years he has spent studying antioxidants and cancer, however, Dr. Prasad, who has a doctorate in radiation biology, has become convinced that this fear is ultimately hurting cancer patients.

They are a perfect partner with standard therapies because they deliver a one-two punch against the malignant cells: First the antioxidants weaken the cancer cells and strengthen the good cells; then, when chemo or radiation are administered, the cancer cells are hit hard, and the good cells, which the therapies also hurt, are better able to regroup, because they were stronger to begin with.

“ Most people associate antioxidants with their ability to eliminate free radicals, which helps prevent cancer,” he explains. “They do do that, but this is a different mechanism. Antioxidants cause damage to cancer cells because they have a marked effect on those genes involved in cell proliferation, or apoptosis (the programmed death of cells). By affecting gene expression, they help kill the cancer cells.”

Antioxidants also inhibit the cancer cells’ ability to repair after the chemo or radiation has dealt them a tough blow.

Finally, antioxidants act as an anti-angiogenesis agent – preventing the formation of new blood vessels, which are crucial for cancer cell development. Standard therapies do not affect angiogenesis, “so by combining the two together, you have better results. The two approaches attack the cancer cells in different and unique ways.”

The challenge now for Dr. Prasad is finding a way to spread the word.

The fact so many oncologists still have reservations against antioxidants is problematic because more than 70 percent of their patients take nutritional supplements, including antioxidants, with or without their doctors’ knowledge.

“These practices by patients and their oncologists may be harmful for two reasons,” Dr. Prasad says. “First, because low doses of endogenously made antioxidants or dietary antioxidants that do not affect the growth of cancer cells may protect these cells against radiation damage. Second, because low doses of individual antioxidants taken alone, such as vitamin C and polar carotenoids, may stimulate the growth of some cancer cells.”

The key, in other words, is following the protocol. A patient self-dosing and self-prescribing could potentially do more harm than good.

I have to say that I disagree with the last statement that "self-dosing" with antioxidants could do more harm than good because subsequent research has found that antioxidants CANNOT BE STORED BY CANCER CELLS therefore the antioxidants do not protect cancer cells from the OXIDIZING EFFECT OF RADIATION AND CHEMO.

A book I highly recommend for anyone who wants to know how to effectively fight cancer by healing the underlying immune system issues that cause cancer - the book by Patrick Quillin - Beating Cancer with Nutrition. Here he talks about the debate on antioxidants and mainstream cancer treatments in this article:

“Most people don’t realize that 40 percent or more of cancer patients actually die from malnutrition,” says Patrick Quillin, PhD, RD, CNS, a clinical nutritionist in Encinitas, California. Good nutrition and supplements can help combat this, but unfortunately, many oncologists cling to an old mindset that rejects supplements out of concern that they’ll interfere with treatment, says Charles B. Simone, MD, medical oncologist, immunologist, and radiation oncologist at the Simone Protective Cancer Center, in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. However, Simone’s recent survey of 280 peer-reviewed studies should lay many of these fears to rest. Most of the studies found that dietary supplements did not interact negatively with treatments.

Along with supplying needed nutrients, many of them actually improved the effectiveness of chemotherapy and radiation, reduced appetite-suppressing side effects, and even increased survival chances.

Vitamin C. A deficiency in calories often means a deficiency in vitamin C. Like other antioxidants, vitamin C may help chemo and radiation kill cancer cells while protecting your healthy cells from harm. Dosage: At least 1 gram daily, taken with meals in divided dosages.

Vitamin E. If you can’t stomach vitamin E-rich foods like nuts, vegetables, and egg yolks, you may miss out on the benefits of this powerful nutrient. Studies have shown that supplemental E eases the neurotoxic side effects (tingling, numbness, and pain) of chemotherapy. And when you feel better, you’re more likely to eat well. Dosage: 400 IU mixed natural tocopherols and 400 IU vitamin E succinate daily, taken with meals in divided dosages.

Garlic. This popular herb may improve your appetite by reducing the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation. “Like many herbs and antioxidants, garlic protects your healthy cells while leaving cancer cells vulnerable to damage from radiation and chemotherapy-thus converting cancer treatment into more of a targeted kill against the cancer, rather than a general kill against both good and bad cells,” explains Quillin. Dosage: One 600 mg capsule daily of aged, deodorized Kyolic (the trademarked product used in the studies); or use garlic daily as a seasoning, making sure to crush the garlic and exposing it to air for 10 minutes first to activate the key ingredient.

So now - do you see how much this CRAP article from AP leaves out?  I am sure you are wondering why the Pharmaceutical CARTEL has such a HARD ON for natural supplements. It's because THEY WORK and THEY WORK BETTER THAN THE MAINSTREAM "TREATMENTS".  I am a living example of having NOT used mainstream toxic treaments OR surgery for breast cancer diagnosed in 2006 and it turned to scar tissue through the use of natural treatments. Had I used mainstream "treatments" I'd probably be suffering from new cancers today and certainly would likely suffer the long term effects of radiation "treatment" as well as possibly chemo such as chemo brain.

NO THANKS

This kind of thing MAKES ME SICK.  The mainstream news people are wholly controlled by the big business CARTELS such as the CHEMICAL AND PHARAMCEUTICAL INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX. Do NOT underestimate their power to protect their profits by hiding and attacking THE TRUTH.

*Update* I have discovered that Moffitt Cancer Center is part of this outfit called the Cancer Research Alliance which is a 501(c) non-profit that profits from cancer and posing as collecting money for "research" when what it is really doing is improving the member hospitals "bottom line" which is to drive more people to their centers for "cancer treatment". How sickening.  I have launched an investigation into where money goes from Cancer Research Alliance. I am betting they are IN BED with the large pharmaceutical companies as well so everyone gets nice and rich feeding off the fear of cancer that THEY generate. What a scam!  In the end, it is people like you and me who lose.  The CRA is involved with all those "donate $1 " campaigns also so when you get guilted into siphoning $1 off your grocery bill - realize it is NOT going to cancer research it is going to line the pockets of those who profit off cancer and they are NOT interested in curing cancer since then their fat profits will go away.

Today I noticed at least THREE articles on the AP Newswire coming out of Moffitt that are of the same tone - use natural cures for cancer and DIE or let us treat you to live.. What a line of complete HORSE SHIT.  These people are lower than Nigerian scam artists.
