Breuss Cancer Cure by Rudolf Breuss (a small, easy-to-read paperback book that is also available on Kindle)
"The Breuss Treatment is so effective because it deals with cancer and other chronic diseases by cleansing the whole system. The liquids used during the fast are rich in vitamins and minerals, keeping the body nourished; meanwhile, the metabolism is allowed to get back into balance; finally, a deep detoxification process eliminated whatever poisons, abnormalities and wastes are present in the body." - page x

High-Dose Vitamin C Injections Shown to Annihilate Cancer by Ethan A .Huff
"Groundbreaking new research on the cancer-fighting potential of vitamin C has made the pages of the peer-reviewed journal Science Translational Medicine. A team of researchers from the University of Kansas reportedly tested the effects of vitamin C given in high doses intravenously on a group of human subjects and found that it effectively eradicates cancer cells while leaving healthy cells intact.”
The Metabolic Approach to Cancer Treatment by Dr. Joseph Mercola
- Dr. Nasha Winters is a naturopathic physician who specializes in supporting patients with cancer. She also trains clinicians and consults with those treating cancer patients.
- Winters requires five specific tests before she will conduct an initial consultation with a patient. They’re markers to assess the health of the whole body and whether cancer is progressing, stable or regressing
- The first is a blood chemistry panel, an inexpensive blood test showing complete blood count (CBC). Importantly, it shows your neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), which is prognostic for overall survival. A chem panel (CMP) is also required, which assesses organ function and electrolyte status
- The lactase dehydrogenase (LDH) test is a widely underutilized yet most important test as it is a marker of metabolic function. If LDH is elevated, your mitochondria are functioning poorly.
- When high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, LDH and erythrocyte sedimentation rate measurements are within functional ranges, the patient has a good handle on their disease and prognosis is good.
"The bioactive compounds in grape seed extract selectively target many types of cancer cells. With an increase in colorectal cancer, the findings of this study are timely. By the time most people are diagnosed with the disease, it is in the advanced stages. But thankfully, as mentioned, researchers found that it required less grape seed extract to kill advanced cancer cells than it did cells in the early stage. It is thought that the extract kills cancer cells by a process of oxidative stress."

The Chemical Death of Cancer Cells Creates Inflammation, Which Feeds Cancer Growth by Natural News
Results: The overall contribution of curative and adjuvant cytotoxic chemotherapy to 5-year survival in adults was estimated to be 2.3% in Australia and 2.1% in the USA.
Conclusion: As the 5-year relative survival rate for cancer in Australia is now over 60%, it is clear that cytotoxic chemotherapy only makes a minor contribution to cancer survival. To justify the continued funding and availability of drugs used in cytotoxic chemotherapy, a rigorous evaluation of the cost-effectiveness and impact on quality of life is urgently required.
Analyses of repeated failures in cancer therapy for solid tumors: poor tumor-selective drug delivery, low therapeutic efficacy and unsustainable costs
"The focus of this perspective was to assess the limitations of current therapeutic approaches to cancer. We presented scientific analyses of the disturbing data on the outcome failure rates of 90% (±5) on current therapeutic approaches for solid tumors."

Anticancer Effects of Sandalwood (Santalum album) Anticancer Research Journal
"α-Santlol, a sesquiterpene isolated from Sandalwood, is known for a variety of therapeutic properties including anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-viral and anti-bacterial activities. Cell line and animal studies reported chemopreventive effects of sandalwood oil and α-santalol without causing toxic side-effects."

Frankincense Oil and Cancer in Perspective by Robert Tisserand
Frankincense Essential oil and Cancer: Why EOs and Chemotherapy Don’t Always Mix by Robert Tisserand
Robert Tisserand notes that:
"So, if you are looking for a natural substance to help prevent or treat cancer, frankincense oil should not be your first choice. Look instead to turmeric/curcumin, to cannabis/cannabinoids, to garlic/garlic oil, and to frankincense extract, which is sold in capsule form. Following that, I would consider essential oils of cinnamon bark, lemongrass, citronella, turmeric, orange, lemon and bergamot. I have not discussed them all here but these have, in my opinion, a better shot than frankincense oil. Then again, different oils apply to different cancers, and I’m not addressing that here."

Frankincense Essential oil and Cancer: Why EOs and Chemotherapy Don’t Always Mix by Robert Tisserand
Tisserand/Young write in Essential Oil Safety: A Guide for Health Care Professionals: “Because of possible and unpredictable effects on immune mechanisms, we recommend that essential oils are avoided from one week before to one month following a course of chemotherapy or radiotherapy, and in patients undergoing organ or tissue transplants who are taking conventional immunomodulatory drugs.”
"Ocimum sanctum L. or Ocimum tenuiflorum L, commonly known as the Holy Basil in English or Tulsi in the various Indian languages, is a important medicinal plant in the various traditional and folk systems of medicine in Southeast Asia. Scientific studies have shown it to possess antiinflammatory, analgesic, antipyretic, antidiabetic, hepatoprotective, hypolipidemic, antistress, and immunomodulatory activities. Preclinical studies have also shown that Tulsi and some of its phytochemicals eugenol, rosmarinic acid, apigenin, myretenal, luteolin, β-sitosterol, and carnosic acid prevented chemical-induced skin, liver, oral, and lung cancers and to mediate these effects by increasing the antioxidant activity, altering the gene expressions, inducing apoptosis, and inhibiting angiogenesis and metastasis. . . . This review summarizes the results related to the chemopreventive and radioprotective properties of Tulsi and also emphasizes aspects that warrant future research to establish its activity and utility in cancer prevention and treatment."

Fresh lemongrass fields in Israel become mecca for cancer patients by Allison Kaplan Summer - April 02, 2006
Jane Buckle RN, PhD writes: "Recent studies have indicated that phytoestrogens, once thought to be contraindicated in cancer, may actually reduce the risk of cancer and could therefore be beneficial." At this point the jury is still out and use of essential oil with these properties may still be something someone would want to avoid. Buckle continues: "It is extremely unlikely that the tiny amounts of estrogen-like compounds used in aromatherapy would impact cancerous growth. Essential oils thought to have estrogen-like effect include Fennel and Aniseed as they contain anethole (Albert-Puleo 1980)." Clary Sage and Niaouli have other components that have structures similar to estrogen (Franchomme and Penole 1991). Buckle notes that both Geranium and Rose "should be fine to use in estrogen-dependent tumors."

Antibiotic Use and Cancer
"In conclusion, we observed a positive association between the use of antibiotics, especially when used frequently, and the risk of developing CRC."
A study conducted in 2008 of 3,000,000 people for six years showed that those who had taken 2-5 antibiotic prescriptions had a 27% increase in cancers compared to those who took none, and those who took six or more prescriptions had a 37% increase in cancers. (Int J Cancer 08;123:2152-2155)
Also, a National Cancer Institute study found that the incidence of breast cancer doubled among women who took more than 25 antibiotic prescriptions or took antibiotics for more than 500 days over a 17 year time span. (JAMA 04;291:827-835)
