THE HOLISTIC SOLUTION TO OVERCOMING CANCER SOLUTION THE HOLISTIC OVERCOMING CANCER The holistic approach to cancer combines antimicrobial and immunity-boosting therapies with methods to regenerate the oxidative energy metabolism, cleanse the body of toxins and heal the emotions. he cause and cure of cancer are basically unknown, not only in conventional medicine but also in natural medicine. For decades, while working as a natural therapist and health writer, I continually tried to improve my understanding of what was really going on, and I am confident that the relevant pieces of the puzzle have now fallen into place. Here I share my thoughts and findings in the hope that many therapists and individuals with cancer will want to try them out. combines Blocked Energy Production The conventional view is that cancer originates in the cell nucleus due to random mutations or damage to the genetic material from radiation or toxic chemicals. This orthodox model sees the development of a tumour as a purely localised event in an otherwise healthy body. Therefore, the aim is to catch it as early as possible, remove or destroy the tumour and all should be well. But reality is different. Unbiased investigations show that there is no real difference in conventionally treated and untreated cases.' I suspect that honest statistics would even show chemotherapy to shorten lives. Why, then, do some patients survive conventional treatment? The answer is that some tumours just have a tendency to spread, and others remain harmless whether treated or untreated. Presently the focus is on detecting very small tumours—many of which would never develop into cancer and form metastases, but in statistics they are counted as cured cancers. When cancer does spread, then there is generally no conventional treatment that really works. Recognising this, statistics are commonly expressed as five-year survival rates. All this shows that the medical model of cancer is either incomplete or wrong. The German cancer researcher Dr Paul Gerhard Seeger’ demonstrated in 1938 that in most cases cancer starts in the cytoplasm, the jelly-like outer part of the cell, and especially in the energy-producing mitochondria. Here, food fragments are oxidised in a series of enzymatic steps called the "respiratory chain". Seeger showed that in cancer cells this respiratory chain is more or less blocked by the destruction of important enzymes, especially one called cytochrome oxidase. Without it the cell can produce energy only anaerobically, like a fungal cell. This is very inefficient and the resulting overproduction of lactic acid makes the cell and the body overacidic. Seeger and others found that cancer cells utilise only between five and 50 per cent of the oxygen of normal cells. Furthermore, the virulence of cancer cells is directly proportional to their loss of oxygen utilisation, and, with this, to the degree of blockage of the respiratory chain. In 1957, Seeger successfully transformed normal cells into cancer cells within a few days by introducing chemicals that block the respiratory chain. Further experiments showed that cancer cells of low virulence can easily be overcome by the immune system, but those with high virulence prevail and continue to spread. Following this, Seeger made his most important discovery: emotions. Website: spirit.com NEXUS ¢ 29 by Walter Last © 2008 http://www. health-science- DECEMBER 2008 — JANUARY 2009 www.nexusmagazine.com
