Modern Cancer Treatment Protocol (Herbal)

Post by kiwi Bruce »

Modern Cancer Treatment Protocol (I included the original paper at the end)
Please feel free and pass this along to anyone who may need help getting over this "monstrous" disease.
Because Cancerous cells can only use glucose and an α-amino acid Glutamine, as their energy source if this very limited food source is removed, the cancer cells die. If an alternative food source is found for healthy cells that does not include foods converted into glucose—the sugars and starches in our diet—and if Glutamine can be blocked from absorption with herbal medication, then, plain and simple, the cancer cells starve and die. The first step in achieving this is called Therapeutic Ketosis. Not dissimilar to the start of many “low-carb” diets, this requires intermittent fluid-only fasting :- with this herbal tea, twice to three times a day to start, then only water. A strict no-carb diet that reaches ketosis must be adhered to.
Here is the formula for the herbal tea that would deprive cancer cells of Glutamine.

Tea Blend Ratios (Per Cup/8 oz Water):
Green Tea (Camellia sinensis) – 1 tsp (2g) dried leaves
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) – ½ tsp (1g) dried root or powder
Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis) – ½ tsp (1g) dried root or powder
Grape Seed Extract – 250-500 mg standardized extract (Added as a supplement or water-soluble powder)
Preparation Method:
1. Boil Water: Bring to a gentle simmer (~180°F/82°C).
2. Steeping:
Green tea should be steeped for only 2–3 minutes (to avoid bitterness) so prepare 2 floz's separately and add it at the end before drinking.
Turmeric and goldenseal may require 10–15 minutes for full extraction. Consider decoction (gentle simmering) for these.
3. Enhancing Bioavailability:
Add a pinch of black pepper (piperine enhances curcumin absorption).
Include a healthy fat (like coconut oil or almond milk) to aid absorption of fat-soluble compounds.
4. Optional: Sweeten with Stevia or perhaps raw honey for additional antioxidant benefits.
Additional Considerations:
Timing: Drinking it on an empty stomach may enhance absorption.
Frequency: 1–2 cups per day would be a reasonable starting point.
Interaction Watch: Check for interactions with medications, especially blood thinners or chemotherapy drugs.

This paper is dedicated to Amy—my closest friend, confidant, soulmate, lover, and wife. She was the mother of our children and the most important person in my life.
I hope this paper serves as a source of support for anyone facing the same hardships we endured. Amy and I fought together with unwavering determination, yet we were unable to overcome the challenge of a very aggressive cancer. Despite our efforts, she passed away only eighteen weeks after her diagnosis.
I have written this because we lacked the information that might have made a difference. Would things have turned out differently if we had known more? I cannot say for certain, but I believe it would have given us a better fighting chance.
Please share this with anyone you know who is battling this devastating disease.
Modern Advances in Cancer Treatment
I grew up believing that if a doctor gave you a diagnosis with the “C” word in it, you were as good as dead—and for the most part, you were. It was such a terrifying diagnosis that we never actually said the word, just the letter “C,” as if by saying it, you might get it. Your chances of beating cancer and surviving were slim to none. Even today, most cancer patients will not survive. This no longer needs to be the case. It may take another ten years or more until this “truth” is accepted by mainstream medicine. Unfortunately, this is part of the human condition: great change is met by great resistance. And so it is with the research that has led to new cancer treatments.
The leading research, which is ongoing at St. Ignatius Hospital in Boston, has found that cancer—all cancers—is not a disease of genetic mutation, which is the commonly held view among most oncologists today. It is, rather, a nutritional breakdown at the cellular level. Something happens to the cells, whether it’s caused by toxins like tobacco smoke in the case of lung and throat cancer, the HPV virus in the case of uterine and testicular cancer, or environmental toxins like plastics in the case of liver, kidney, and even brain cancer. In all cancers, the same thing appears to happen: over time, the cells that turn cancerous stop functioning properly.
The mitochondria, the powerhouse in a healthy cell, use blood sugar (glucose) and other sources of nutrition combined with oxygen to create energy, with CO2 and water as byproducts. In a cancerous cell, the mitochondria break down and lose the ability to use oxygen, turning instead to a form of fermentation to produce the energy they need to survive. A normal, healthy cell can and does use a wide variety of molecules to produce the energy it needs, such as simple sugars, fats, and ketones. Cancerous cells, on the other hand, cannot. They can only use glucose and an α-amino acid Glutamine, as their energy source. They do not use or need oxygen. They don’t metabolize their energy source; they ferment it. This leaves the cancerous cells in a precarious and vulnerable position that can be taken advantage of. If their very limited food source is removed, the cancer cells die.
If an alternative food source is found for healthy cells that does not include foods converted into glucose—the sugars and starches in our diet—and if Glutamine can be blocked from absorption with medication, then, plain and simple, the cancer cells starve and die. The way to achieve this is called Therapeutic Ketosis. Not dissimilar to the start of many “low-carb” diets, this requires intermittent water-only fasting, a strict no-carb diet that reaches ketosis, and, most importantly, the willpower to beat this disease. Any restrictive diet is difficult under the very best of conditions, and this is no exception. But this could very well save your life.
No one is suggesting giving up on traditional cancer treatments. You will not find empathy from your oncological team over your choice of an adjunctive method of treatment. You will have to become your own healthcare advocate, contacting the doctors in Boston for their help. But there is now a choice, giving you the ability to take treatment options into your hands for a change.
As I stated in the beginning, we are at least a decade away from this treatment becoming part of the medical mainstream. However, as the poet Dylan Thomas said, “Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.” This is your battle. You can win this!

Bruce, I admire your passion on this subject, and understand why you want to share them. I would say that all this stuff you've shared all 'appears' plausible and there is a 'logic' to the steps and assertions that you have made.

But you are presenting it as some sort of miracle cure, with no real evidence.

"if Glutamine can be blocked from absorption with herbal medication, then, plain and simple, the cancer cells starve and die...Here is the formula for the herbal tea that would deprive cancer cells of Glutamine"

You are essentially claiming that this is a cure for cancer.

Additionally, the post also reads like it was at least in part AI generated which is against forum rules, as well as verging on the political, too, with your allusions to the 'medical mainstream'.

Let me try very hard to keep my cool, did you read the whole post? I lost my wife eighteen months ago last weekend. Yes I AM passionate about this. I watch my wife of 45 years die. It took 18 very painful weeks until she past. So yes I am passionate! Did you read the whole post? If so, you are either a heartless prick or you didn't read the whole post. "verging on political" If you look through the posts of this forum you'll see that we have lost a lot of our members/friends to cancer. I didn't do the research, this was done at St. Ignatius Hospital in Boston and is still on going. I use herbal remedies, that's why I posted the recipe for the herbal tea. A lot of people prefer alternative medicine. Didn't you read that I wrote "No one is suggesting giving up on traditional cancer treatments. You will not find empathy from your oncological team over your choice of an adjunctive method of treatment. You will have to become your own healthcare advocate, contacting the doctors in Boston for their help."
If I can help one person beat cancer then everything I've written was worth it.
I have only ever used AI (CHAT GPT) to spell correct and edit my papers...this is the first I'm hearing that we can't use AI on our forum. I'm not saying I don't believe you...but please post where in our forum rules this is stated.
So now I've vented...don't be pissed off that I'm giving you push back. Iron sharpens iron! ....KIWI

I would think spellcheck and grammar would be fine. I wouldn't class that any different than using the normal spellcheck built into everything now. Seems more targeted towards page long word spews of mostly crap scraped from whatever depths the bots can find. If you're only using it for spellcheck, no one will know any different.

Shiner! Your from South Waikato, very cool. Just after we were married my wife and I had a little Jewelry store in Huka Village in Taupo, we rented a fishing cottage just up from Huka falls. So do you think water from the Waikato would be any good for brewing?

Every time ive seen the Waikato River, its brown water. I wouldn't take from there directly, but it feeds a lot of homes water once its been treated. I believe most of Hamiltons tap water is from there. Our tap water where i am is from an aquifer under our town. I tried to do a whiskey made from Waikato Beer (though i think thats now made in Auckland, not in the Waikato anymore), i wasnt a fan of the result.

I thought I was getting a bit wordy and left this out. This is one of the articles I found in my research.
https://www.prevailovercancer.com/blog/ ... and-cancer


Here is part of it.

Learn about cancer's use of L-Glutamine and how certain herbs can decrease its availability.


Written by Keith Bishop, Clinical Nutritionist, Cancer Coach, and Retired Pharmacist.


Cancer cells are notorious for their rapid growth and proliferation. They rely heavily on specific nutrients, particularly L-glutamine and glucose, to sustain this. These cells undergo metabolic reprogramming, consuming large amounts of glutamine to produce amino acids, nucleotides, and fatty acids essential for survival and growth. This phenomenon, often referred to as "glutamine addiction," makes glutamine metabolism a critical target for cancer therapy.[ii]

Researchers are exploring various strategies to exploit this dependency. By targeting glutamine transporters and enzymes involved in its metabolism, they aim to disrupt the supply of this vital nutrient to cancer cells, thereby inhibiting their growth and inducing cell death.[iii] This approach holds promise for developing new cancer treatments that can effectively starve cancer cells without harming normal cells.

Bruce, I read the whole post, and I understand why you want to share what you shared. I started with that. You're free to think what you want of me, and it is really not my intention to cause upset or distress to you.
I stand by my assertion that claiming that a herbal tea is a 'cancer treatment protocol' is really open to potentially dangerous misinterpretation.

I am adding my own emphasis here to what you pasted before:

Researchers are exploring various strategies to exploit this dependency. By targeting glutamine transporters and enzymes involved in its metabolism, they aim to disrupt the supply of this vital nutrient to cancer cells, thereby inhibiting their growth and inducing cell death.[iii] This approach holds promise for developing new cancer treatments that can effectively starve cancer cells without harming normal cells.

My interpretation of this is - 'Approaches targeting glutamine transporters looks like they might be helpful in developing treatments'. Nothing more. I feel it is important to stress this to try to minimise misinterpretation of what you wrote in your original post.

Tommy, I've already had my rant...SO
When this happens to you or someone close to you that you love...AND IT WILL! You only have three options,
You and/or they, will find a good Oncological team.
You and they will go to that "Big House" in your town or village, fall on your knees and pray to whatever or whoever you believe can/will make a difference and beg for mercy and healing.
AND...if you remember where you saw this, you'll contact Dr Thomas Seyfried at St. Ignatius Hospital in Boston.
https://www.onedaymd.com/2024/12/thomas ... tment.html
They ARE claiming this is a cure for cancer. You can take up the "cancer treatment protocol being open to potentially dangerous misinterpretation", with them. " However, as stated, we are at least a decade away from this treatment becoming part of the medical mainstream."
and why...because this is part of the human condition: great change is met by great resistance. There are Trillions of Dollars at stake so of course there will be great resistance.
I am only the messenger, I don't wish cancer, or for that matter ANY illness on you or yours. But if wishes were horses, beggars would ride.
Hope! that's all I'm trying to give here. So when you stand up with those bruises on your knees, you won't be left with the feeling of utter desperation. That you might see that there IS something you can do. And perhaps YOU will be granted mercy and healing....Kiwi

@ kiwi Bruce:

Bruce, I see that Turmeric is mentioned as an ingredient for your proposed tea blend. This is one spice that I fine very hard to choke down. I do know though, that it is highly regarded for its beneficial polyphenol -curcumin.

I am not interested in duplicating this tea blend. However I am searching for some kind of food recipe that incorporates turmeric; that can compliment or somehow mask the spice.

Cheers

Contrahead...can you take turmeric as a liquid? but this would mean you want to take it as an herb and not as a spice. As a spice...you could make a very strong tea, filter it, and then cook the other ingredients in that. I do this for my Grand daughter however with hibiscus flowers in white rice. It makes the rice bright pink. If you make a tincture with alcohol you could use this, the alcohol would evaporate out of the meal and just leave the taste. Just a few ideas...

You can get turmeric in capsules if you don't like the flavor.

I'm ok with it and use it in cooking most days, made bread yesterday and used it for color.

I mentioned turmeric's bad taste to one of my sisters this morning, and later she hit me up with a handful of turmeric taffy chews. I believe this is the product. Their taste is acceptable; in fact a little too good – and like candy.
My small concern with this taffy is: how much sugar does it really contain? (Sugar being overly attractive to cancer cells).

A friend of mine likes a brand of Turmeric Chai Latte sachets. I tried them and really liked them, they go great with a shot of rum in a hot evening drink, but I'm frightened to read the box as I suspect it has a list of nasties on it that I know I shouldn't be consuming.

Contact the company that makes them...they may have a line with just stevia.

I’ve been on a keto diet for the past year and lost 70+lbs. i feel great and focused. I consider it a medical diet at this point and do eat some carbs but only fiber filled veggies. No sugars, starches, or high carb processed foods. Removing the carbs and sugars and maintaining ketosis definitely changes ones body chemistry and it works for me. I’m saving your tea recipe and will be partaking.

I also enjoy turmeric root - fresh preferred and I dehydrate any I have left for the spice cabinet - which is another good use of the small 200ml mason jars. Spices and fractions :)

Thank you for sharing Bruce :)

Cheers,
jonny

I've been asked to contact the research team of Dr Thomas Seyfried at St. Ignatius Hospital in Boston and run this by them. It'll be interesting to see what they think.
