This article is about cancer which is an anaerobic condition. In other words, it does not require oxygen. The organizations for which oxygen is a plosion live in heat vents in the ocean from underseas volcanoes or in places like Yellowstone park in the US.

The standard treatment of cancer is to target cancer cells. Alternative treatments based on the metabolic aspects have been around for decades but discouraged because of the influence of Big Pharma which sells cancer drugs that can cost $100,000 per year.

There are many alternative treatments inclusive integrative cancer treatment which is an adjunct to regular treatments using supplements. An internationally recognized MD has spent thousands of hours researching and consultation and produced a book that is downloadable for free.

Dr Marik was a founder of flccc.net - Front Line Critical Covid Care associates, an organization formed to treat covid with alternative methods during the "pandemic". The Cancer Care book is available on Amazon and can be downloaded here. There is a lot of organic chemistry involved in this book which has an overview and 1457 references.

"Integrative Oncology. Provision of care by a “true integrative oncologist” is the preferred

model of care for the patient with cancer. An integrative oncologist is dual qualified/certified

in orthodox medicine (oncology) as well as in integrative medicine (complementary

medicine). In many countries — including Israel, Germany, Switzerland, India, and other

countries in Asia — by default most oncologists are dually trained and function as

integrative oncologists. This is distinct from the United States, Australia, and some European

countries, where most oncologists follow the traditional orthodox approach.

The integrative oncologist has a diverse array of tools (therapeutic options) in his/her

toolbox and formulates an individualized and unique treatment plan for each patient. The

integrative physician and patient co-design an integrative treatment plan, recruiting the

“best of both worlds.” This may entail the use of chemotherapeutic agents/radiotherapy

together with complementary medicine or complementary medicine alone. Patients

participate in their treatment plans in a shared decision-making model. There is open

patient-physician communication that is non-judgmental and in keeping with the patient’s

cultural beliefs.

Integrative oncology involves a multidisciplinary team with caregivers committed to an

integrative care model. The major focus of care is the patient’s quality of life with an

emphasis on a) relief of symptoms, anxiety, and pain, b) quality of sleep, c) nutrition, d)

nutraceutical/herbs and repurposed drugs, and e) lifestyle changes. Integrative oncology

complements conventional medicine while keeping within the boundaries of scientific rigor.

Integrative medicine strives to be based on rigorous research, conducted in accordance with

scientific methodologies. Integrative oncology focuses on pragmatic research; pragmatic

trials test interventions in the full spectrum of everyday clinical settings, in order to maximize applicability and generalizability. Such pragmatic trials allow for a multimodal

integrative approach, are individualized, and with patient-centered outcomes. Patients in

countries where care is being managed by “orthodox” oncologists should consult with

integrative primary care physicians. "

Hi Walt,

Hope I find you well.

In my ongoing research on Pb I came across a particular supplement that seems to be gaining much interest in research circles, especially with regards to potential use as an antioxidant and anti-cancer treatment.

Berkley, UC, are heavily into the research and even have their own formulation available on mail-order.

It's called 3,3 diindolylmethane (DIM), and it is formed in small amounts in the body from brassica/cruciferaceae vegetables.

It seems linked to CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors in the GI tract, and cannabidiol oil (CBD) itself has a growing body of evidence to support its use in prevention and spread of some cancer cell lines.

You can find some reasearch about it here:

and the Berkley page can be found here:

Just thought it might arouse your interest.

All the best.

Jonathan
