The Cancer Revolution: A Groundbreaking Program to Reverse and Prevent Cancer by Leigh Erin Connealy
Location 109:
Another reason the mainstream approach is inadequate is neither chemotherapy nor radiation nor surgery can eliminate what are called circulating tumor cells (CTCs) or cancer stem cells (CSCs).
Location 126:
Finally, research suggests that such factors as diet, detoxification, exercise, nutritional supplements, stress management, sleep, and resolving emotional conflicts can, in some cases, trump any genetic predisposition to cancer.
Location 175:
We can actually make our patients feel a lot better in just a couple of weeks, by giving them such things as intravenous vitamin infusions, hyperbaric oxygen, and other therapies; by putting them on the right diet; and helping them spiritually. Yet the full healing and rebuilding process takes time—months or years, depending upon the damage that’s been done.
Location 266:
Otto Warburg, a Nobel Prize winner, German physician, and physiologist, discovered that cancer occurs when any cell is denied 60 percent of its oxygen.9 Poor oxygenation results from a buildup of carcinogens and other toxins inside of and around the cells, which then damages the cell’s ability to utilize oxygen.
Location 302:
It takes ten to twelve years on average for a single cancer cell to eventually multiply to where it becomes a full-grown tumor in the body.

The Cancer Profile is a test that was developed by Emil Schandl, PhD,
Location 414:
Another marker in the body that the Cancer Profile measures is an enzyme called PHI, or phosphohexose isomerase/glucose phosphate isomerase. PHI causes cells to change their metabolism to a process called glycolysis, in which cancer cells produce energy in a low-oxygen environment that enables their survival. If your PHI enzyme is elevated, then this means that your body is becoming a relatively more cancer-friendly environment.
Location 423:
In addition, the test measures a liver enzyme called gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGTP), and nonspecific tumor markers called CEA and DHEA sulfate.
Location 435:
Another useful blood test for detecting cancer in the early stages is the ONCOblot.
Location 439:
The ONCOblot checks your body for a special kind of protein called ENOX2 that exists only on the surface of cancer cells.
Location 452:
You can find out whether you have CTCs and CSCs in your blood, and how many, by doing a blood test through Research Genetic Cancer Center (RGCC), a laboratory in Greece that conducts blood tests to check for both CTCs and CSCs. RGCC was officially established in 2004 and has over ten years of experience in working with doctors worldwide.
Location 471:
RGCC testing, you would go to: http://www.rgccusa.com/doctor-locator/. When researching integrative oncologists, you can also ask them whether they do this type of testing. The RGCC is one of the most important tests for determining exactly what treatments your particular cancer will respond to, so we highly recommend finding a doctor that uses it.
Location 480:
A lesser-known way to help find out whether you are at risk for breast cancer or already have it is through thermography testing. Thermography uses infrared imaging technology to detect and measure heat and vascular patterns within the breast that can indicate cancer. Thermography can also detect abnormal findings in the breast.
Location 511:
If you have elevated and ongoing levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), I’d advise your doctor to conduct a diagnostic test for cancer.
Location 530:
One of the best bioenergetic devices that many integrative practitioners use is called the limbic stress assessment (LSA) system, which was created by the ZYTO Corporation.
Location 556:
BioMeridian devices can detect specific remedies that will bring your body back into energetic balance. Just as important, BioMeridian testing aims to identify where the cancer is in your body, and reveal how far along you are in the twelve-year cancer development process, which we call the “Cancer Cascade.” Knowing

The symptoms include: • Failing eyesight (along with other signs, and not just as a symptom of aging) • An attack of serious indigestion (gastrointestinal issues with symptoms consistent with bloating, constipation, acid reflux, etc.), which can be the first sign of cancer, and is caused by a blood clot in the pancreas. The clot reduces pancreatic function by 10 to 75 percent and leads to a short supply of pancreatic enzymes. This in turn may allow for tumors to grow because pancreatic enzymes control cancer cell growth in the body. • Chronic fatigue. This is a characteristic shared by most cancer patients. • Brain fog, or fuzzy thinking; a loss of clarity of thought • Changes in the hair, especially hair that becomes brittle, coarse, balding, and graying • Hernia, which is a symptom of many malignancies • A peculiar body odor that doesn’t wash away. Others may think of it as a “sickroom smell,” or just “death.” • Muscle pains, particularly in the back and shoulders • Palpable lumps, swelling, unusual bleeding, or any other symptom that is new and that doesn’t resolve quickly on its own

The table Summary of Cancer Screening Tests (here) lists
Location 731:
Here’s the logic behind IPT: Cancer cells have ten times more insulin receptors on their surface than does a regular cell. Insulin is a hormone that your body uses to shuttle glucose into the cells. So, when you give your body insulin, along with glucose, the insulin acts as a “Trojan horse” or an escort, to more effectively bring not only glucose but also the anticancer agents into the cancer cells. Because some studies suggest sugar may fuel the growth of cancer,7 they readily open up the insulin receptors and “eat” the glucose, along with the chemotherapy drugs and/or natural anticancer agents.
Location 736:
Insulin also helps the body fight cancer because it prompts cancer cells to divide, which is when they are most vulnerable to being destroyed
Location 749:
Insulin-Potentiated High-Dose IV Vitamin C Researchers have discovered that when vitamin C is given to the body intravenously in large doses, it has oxidative, rather than antioxidant effects, and can be selectively toxic to cancer cells. Within tumors, vitamin C generates large amounts of hydrogen peroxide, which is lethal to cancer cells. At the same time, intravenous vitamin C doesn’t damage healthy tissue because healthy cells produce high amounts of catalase, which is an enzyme that neutralizes hydrogen peroxide, so that the hydrogen peroxide can’t damage the cells. However, most cancers don’t produce much catalase, which means that they can’t defend themselves against the toxic hydrogen peroxide that vitamin C produces. Also, like its use in IPT, insulin can be used to more effectively drive vitamin C into cancer cells.
Location 777:
However, we have found that adding vitamin K3 to our patients’ vitamin C IVs markedly increases the creation of hydrogen peroxide in some tumors, enabling a more substantial “kill” in those cancers that have high catalase activity. Vitamin K3 is a synthetic form of vitamins K1 and K2. In
Location 786:
Supportive oligonucleotide technique (SOT) uses oligonucleotides, the short chains of a cancer’s DNA or RNA molecules, to bind and inactivate what is called “messenger RNA” (mRNA), which is a gene product produced by cancer cells. This has the effect of turning cancer genes “off,”
Location 791:
SOT is an intravenous treatment that is formulated by Research Genetic Cancer Center (RGCC) lab. RGCC analyzes the mRNA (a genetic component) of your circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and cancer stem cells (CSCs), and then creates the SOT treatment based on your specific cancer gene patterns, as well as occasionally from biopsies of the tumor(s). SOT causes CTCs, CSCs, and tumor cancer cells to self-destruct in a process called apoptosis. The end goal of this technique is to reduce the number of CTCs and CSCs in the body and to establish tumor stability so the tumor doesn’t continue to grow and reproduce out of control.
Location 801:
Autohemotherapy involves briefly removing 100 to 200 ml of blood from the body and exposing it to ultraviolet light and ozone.
Location 804:
Some integrative doctors use an advanced type of autohemotherapy called the UVL(RX) Treatment System, which delivers light therapy intravenously without having to remove the blood from the patient’s body.
Location 828:
HBOT can help your body fight cancer in a number of ways. Cancer cells hate oxygen and survive in an anaerobic environment, so when they are exposed to high levels of oxygen, they are more susceptible to death. HBOT can also substantially repair healthy cells, and can stimulate your body to release growth factors and stem cells that promote healing. Additionally, it has been shown to significantly reduce inflammation. Many doctors use it on patients who have received radiation therapy, to reduce inflammation in the bones and adjacent tissues because radiation damages these parts of the body.
Location 833:
hyperbaric oxygen sessions can be combined with nutraceutical supplements (products that are derived from food sources) and a medication called Trental (pentoxifylline), which thins the blood and enhances blood flow and oxygenation to the tissues. This procedure is called oxidative preconditioning therapy.
Location 835:
We often follow up our patients’ HBOT sessions with a treatment called pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy, which further helps carry oxygen into the cancer cells. (For more information on PEMF, see here.)
Location 841:
Yet like oxygen, ozone is a well-established cancer treatment that helps the body heal in a variety of ways: it causes cancer cells to self-destruct; increases oxygen delivery to the cells, tissues, and organs; detoxifies the blood; increases blood circulation throughout the body; and boosts the immune system.
Location 858:
Taking curcumin intravenously is more beneficial than taking it by mouth, since it bypasses the stomach, which means that 100 percent of it gets absorbed by the body.
Location 864:
Peptide bioregulator therapy is designed to regenerate damaged organs, tissues, and systems in the body that have become dysfunctional or injured due to stress, toxins, and cancer.
Location 874:
company in Estonia offers bioregulator supplements without a prescription.
Location 885:
Currently, the company that sells the products developed by Professor Khavinson, Senpai OÜ, has a website that contains published studies that demonstrate the potential long-term effects of the peptides for a variety of health conditions, including cancer.
Location 888:
Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy uses a pulsed electromagnet to change cellular processes in the body and is thought to be a vital component of all our cancer treatment protocols.

Wheatgrass is a fantastic anticancer food that provides over forty benefits to the body. It is one of the best sources of chlorophyll, a substance that plants produce when exposed to sunlight. Therefore,
Location 1167:
wheatgrass can be excellent for detoxification and has proven to be more effective at cleansing the body than carrot juice or any other fruit or vegetable.
Location 1213:
If you don’t eat a lot of meat, are vegetarian or vegan, have lost muscle mass due to cancer, or just want to detoxify your body better, we recommend supplementing your diet with a product called Master Amino Acid Pattern (MAP), or Perfect Amino, which is a highly bioavailable amino acid supplement that helps provide your body with all of the amino acids that it needs to repair itself.
Location 1463:
Dry skin brushing. This is a great do-it-yourself technique that may help stimulate lymph flow. For this, you take a long-handled, soft, natural-fiber brush, which you can purchase at your local health food store, and brush your skin in long, broad strokes toward the direction of your heart.
Location 1467:
It’s recommended that dry skin brushing be done for just five to ten minutes daily.
Location 1468:
Rebounding. This is another easy at-home therapy, which simply involves bouncing up and down gently on a mini-trampoline or a
Location 1470:
Manual lymph drainage. If you have more resources, you could see a massage therapist or other health-care practitioner that does manual lymph drainage which is a gentle, light-touch, bodywork technique that’s designed to stimulate the lymphatic system, drain stagnant fluids, reduce edema, encourage relaxation and stress reduction, and improve sleep.
Location 1473:
Oil Pulling Oil pulling, an ancient practice with roots in Ayurvedic healing, is a simple, inexpensive technique that you can do at home. For this, you simply swish a healthy type of oil (e.g., coconut or olive oil) around in your mouth, for about five minutes, and then spit it into the sink. The oil binds with the toxins in your mouth and bloodstream.
Location 1480:
Epsom Salt Baths Epsom salt baths are another simple, inexpensive way to cleanse your body of waste from the comfort of your home.
Location 1486:
Castor Oil Pack Therapy One gentle way you can remove toxins from your liver is with a castor oil pack. Castor oil has been used as a healing agent for centuries; heat combines with the castor oil to help increase blood circulation to your liver and pull toxins out of it through your skin.
Location 1517:
Coffee Enemas One of the most important detox therapies are coffee enemas, which can be a powerful way to reduce toxins in your body—up to 700 percent, by some estimates.5
Location 1531:
Among their many other benefits, coffee enemas may: • Improve bile flow and prevent the reabsorption of bile and the toxins contained in expelled bile back into the body. Bile is a dark green to yellowish brown fluid that is produced by the liver that aids in fat digestion. • Increase the activity and efficiency of protective enzyme systems in your liver and gut that bind toxins so these toxins can be safely eliminated • Cleanse the colon and digestive tract, and improve the movement of food through the digestive tract. By regularly taking coffee enemas, you can help keep your digestive tract clean, and free of debris and toxic buildup. • Relieve chronic pain and ease symptoms that may result from detoxification and eliminating too many toxins all at once • Boost your energy levels, and improve your mental clarity and mood • Detoxify and enhance your liver
Location 1540:
Liver Flush Cleanse A liver flush cleanse is another powerful therapy thought to help cleanse your liver and gallbladder of toxins, and improve your body’s detoxification functions.
Location 1584:
The energy of infrared saunas may be two or three times that of a hot air sauna, which is the type of sauna that you’d typically find at your local gym, yet they operate within a significantly cooler air temperature range of 110° to 130°F.
Location 1614:
EDTA can be taken orally or intravenously.
Location 1620:
For instance, zeolite and chlorella are two all-around great binders that we recommend to our patients that will “vacuum-clean” all kinds of toxins from the body. See the Resources section for specific dosing and product recommendations.

RGCC testing is a good way to find out exactly what natural anticancer agents your CTCs and CSCs will respond
Location 1678:
SpectraCell Laboratories is one great lab used for nutritional testing that your doctor could employ to create a foundational nutritional protocol for you. SpectraCell measures the function of thirty-five nutritional components in your body, including vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, and amino acids. You can have your blood drawn at your local lab, and then mailed out to the SpectraCell lab for analysis and interpretation.
Location 1681:
NutrEval by Genova Diagnostics is another lab test that assesses your nutritional status, and like the SpectraCell, it can be done at your local lab. In addition, NutrEval evaluates your gastrointestinal and detoxification functions. Testing to find out what nutrients your body needs is so important because no two people have the same nutritional requirements, and neither do they respond well to the same brands or types of products. You can

The US Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for vitamin C is 60 mg daily, with an upper limit of 2000 mg.3 The RDA guidelines are based on the minimum amount that’s needed to prevent scurvy and are not what the body needs to function optimally. The average amount that I recommend to my patients is about 8,000 mg. If you just want to prevent cancer, I recommend taking 4,000 mg daily.
Location 1705:
One type of vitamin C you may want to try is liposomal vitamin C, which is encased in phospholipids, or fats that come from sunflower lecithin. The phospholipids increase your body’s ability to absorb and utilize the vitamin.
Location 1713:
Vitamin D3, which is the most bioavailable form of vitamin D, is one of the most powerful anticancer nutrients in nature. It positively influences over two hundred genes in the body,4 and can help reduce inflammation, inhibit cancer cells’ growth and replication cycle, inhibit new tumor blood vessel growth, and may even induce cancer cell self-destruction.
Location 1724:
The third type of supplement you’ll want to add to your core regimen is essential fatty acids (EFAs) from parent essential oils (PEOs). PEOs are omega-6 and omega-3 essential fatty acids from linoleic and alpha-linoleic acids.

CoQ10 Cancer results from oxidative damage to cells, which is caused by free radicals, or unstable molecules that damage cells. Many of us have huge amounts of free radicals in our bodies, due to environmental toxins, a poor diet, and inflammation. CoQ10 is a potent intracellular antioxidant that quenches free radicals. It also may enhance the activity of macrophages,
Location 1794:
Quercetin is a potent antioxidant and immune system modulator famous for its ability to modulate a gene signal called NF-kappaB, which is crucial for helping your body manage stress and inflammation. It has also been shown in many studies to encourage cancer cell self-destruction, inhibit tumor growth, and reduce cancer’s resistance to chemotherapy.
Location 1798:
Quercetin also may help chelate, or remove, “transition” heavy metals from the body.
Location 1800:
One highly recommended quercetin product is called Bio-FCTS, from Biotics Research. This product, which is made from buckwheat, also contains other anticancer substances, such as green tea extract, bioflavonoids, and thymus and spleen extracts, all of which boost the immune system.
Location 1813:
I’d recommend dosages of 3 to 20 mg of melatonin, depending on the patient’s needs. Lower amounts, such as 1 to 3 mg, are usually sufficient for improved sleep, while higher doses—anywhere from 10 to 20 mg—are needed to treat cancer.
Location 1820:
Artemisinin is derived from an herb called artemisia, or wormwood. It has been widely studied, especially in recent years, for its suggested anticancer effects. Research suggests it may help disable cancer cells by reacting with the iron inside them that helps them grow, and by triggering free radical production. The free radicals aid in destroying the cancer cell membrane and, with that, the cancer cell. Artemisinin also oxygenates the body.

Garlic is a delicious food linked with a reduced risk of cancer. It is also a powerful
Location 1845:
Green tea contains chemicals called polyphenols, which have potent anticancer properties. The most famous of these is called EGCG, a powerful free radical scavenger and anti-inflammatory agent that could protect cells from DNA damage that eventually may lead to cancer. But it also may directly induce apoptosis, or cancer cell self-destruction, and stop tumor blood vessel development.
Location 1853:
Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) is a chemical found in cruciferous vegetables, such as cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and kale. It partially blocks the effects of chemicals that have xenoestrogenic effects upon the body and which can increase your risk for some types of cancers, especially reproductive cancers such as those of the breast, uterus, cervix, and prostate.
Location 1862:
In Chapter 3, I mentioned that curcumin is a powerful anti-inflammatory chemical that comes from the popular Asian spice turmeric, which has a number of anticancer properties. Refer to Chapter 3 for more information about its potential role in cancer treatment.
