All Cancers -- Generally:  Oxygen Cures! 12/08/2004 The millions who die from cancer will not read that first line -- because they will not arrive on this page -- because they have been suckered into complete reliance on the conventional application of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. The percentage of people who seek conventional therapy is extremely high. The percentage seeking effective alternative methods for ALL their treatment, or even for just part, are staggeringly small. All Cancers -- Generally:  Oxygen Cures! 12/08/2004 Alternative Cancer Treatments 12/08/2004 Alternative Cancer Treatments 12/08/2004 Angiogenesis Inhibitors, is it the key to defeating Cancer? 12/08/2004 Angiogenesis takes place when "an endothelial cell forming the wall of an existing small blood vessel is activated, makes matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) enzymes that break down the ECM (extracellular matrix), invades the matrix, and then begins to proliferate." Angiogenesis Inhibitors, is it the key to defeating Cancer? 12/08/2004 Basic Integrin Info 12/08/2004 Integrins are receptor proteins which are of crucial importance. They are the main way that cells both bind to and respond to the extracellular matrix and are involved in a variety of cellular functions such as wound healing, cell differentiotion, homing of tumor cells and apoptosis. Basic Integrin Info 12/08/2004 Biopsy Report -- September 28, 2004 -- Jean Ross 02/03/2005 This report shows that three separate biopsies were taken, shows no trace of cancer, but makes the comment that one of the biopsy samples was too fragmented to be definitive. Possibly a second endoscopy ultrasound will now be required, to take more biopsies. Biopsies are dangerous when there is a possibility of cancer existing. Biopsies would not be dangerous in any way if you "know" that there is no cancer remaining. Blood Test Rather Than Biopsy 12/08/2004 Most people are unaware that there is a reliable, scientifically proven laboratory blood test for detecting over 99% of all cancers. "Why haven't the doctors I see ordered this test?" people often ask me. Good question. I can only answer that this is yet another example of the resistance to innovative change that the medical establishment constantly demonstrates. Most doctors are simply unaware of the AMAS test because the powers that be ignore the test, and it remains largely unknown. Blood Test Rather Than Biopsy 12/08/2004 Bob Trageser's Personal Letter To Jean and Karl 02/03/2005 I am, like you, one of the longest users of organic germanium sinse it was available in the US in the late 80's and I also purchased from Tokai Sangyo for my company in Mexico starting in 1990. Bypass Or Normal? 12/08/2004 The first area of bypass is to examine whatever wrong relationships might exist in your life! I believe that all diseases, to some degree, relate to you having, or having had, a relationship, fairly close, to someone who is violating YOUR moral code. You should click above, read, and take that advice to heart when you start to look at a major change in your life style. You do NOT need people who give you pity, nor do you need people who are depressed -- in your life. Your emotional health is vital to achieving bodily health. Bypass Or Normal? 12/08/2004 Cancer Can Be Prevented! 12/08/2004 Cancer Can Be Prevented! 12/08/2004 Chaos is the name of cancer. Cells are multiplying in a chaotic manner. The cells in a cancer, themselves, have become aberrated Cancer Can Be Prevented! -- Special Version 12/08/2004 Chaos is the name of cancer. Cells are multiplying in a chaotic manner. The cells in a cancer, themselves, are not harmful. It is the alteration in their multiplication process which is the problem. It is as if an otherwise "healthy" cell, supposed to reproduce every 20 days, starts reproducing every 5 hours. That much growth is harmful even if the individual cells would be, otherwise, OK. Cancer Can Be Prevented! -- Special Version 12/08/2004 Cancer Fight Shifts To Survivors 12/08/2004 Cancer Fight Shifts To Survivors 12/08/2004 Cancer Is Anaerobic 12/08/2004 Cancer Is Anaerobic 12/08/2004 Cancer is becoming a larger problem every year. More and more people get cancer early in life. Recent statistics show that men have a 1-in-2 lifetime risk to develop a cancer. For women this risk is 1-in-3. The last few decades, cancer has started to reach epidemic proportions. Just ask around: You'll be astonished by the large numbers of people that have gotten cancer (or have already died). Then ask your parents or older people if this also happened in their generation. Cancer Mass, Dead, Must "Leave!" Where Does It Go? What Is The Process? 02/03/2005 Bonnie's cancer was huge by the time it was detected. "Huge" means 7 cm by 2 cm in size. That is about one inch by about 3 inches -- a lot of mass. The Oncology doctor said that an "excellent response" from the chemo and radiation would be a "50% shrinkage of mass." CANCER TREATMENT STRATEGIES AT IEP 02/03/2005 In most instances, standard medical therapies for cancer are administered as soon as possible, are aggressive, and have adverse effects. These modern medical procedures, which have the quality of emergency care, are taken because of the great difficulty involved in controlling cancer. Their ultimate aim, in some cases, is eliminating the cancer, but when this is unlikely, they may be utilized to provide increased survival duration and reduced symptoms (e.g., relief from the obstruction caused by a tumor mass). Cancers Treated: Esophagus 02/03/2005 Cancer of the esophagus can start in any part of that organ; commonly it occurs at the lower end, near the entrance to the stomach. The contributing causes are regurgitation of acid from the stomach, cigarette smoking and alcohol. Repeated indigestion, upper abdominal pain, regurgitation of recently eaten food can be symptoms of cancer of the esophagus. Since the survival of this disease needs to be improved, more thorough investigation of chronic symptoms must be pursued. Cell-cell adhesion process 12/08/2004 Cell-cell adhesion process 12/08/2004 "We wanted to understand the molecular mechanisms that enable epithelial cells to bind to each other in order to form an impermeable barrier," said Valeri Vasioukhin, Ph.D., a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Elaine Fuchs, Ph.D., Amgen Professor of molecular genetics & cell biology and biochemistry & molecular biology. Fuchs is an expert on epithelial cells and skin diseases. Characteristics Of Different Types Of Chemotherapy 12/08/2004 Characteristics Of Different Types Of Chemotherapy 12/08/2004 Chemotherapy- and radiotherapy- induced nausea and vomiting 02/03/2005 Nausea and vomiting is a major problem in cancer therapy that can lead to some patients refusing further, potentially curative treatment Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting and radiotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting result from a complex interaction between various neurotransmitters and receptors in the CNS and gastrointestinal tract. There are three types of emesis resulting from chemotherapy and radiotherapy; acute, delayed and anticipatory. Each has a different aetiology, and should be treated differently. 5-HT3 receptor antagonists are the most effective treatment for acute emesis resulting from cancer chemotherapy. A wider range of agents, including anti-histamines and dopamine antagonists is effective against nausea and vomiting resulting from radiotherapy. 5-HT3 receptor antagonists are less effective against delayed emesis resulting from treatment with agents such as cisplatin. Circopharyngeal Sphincter 02/03/2005 Close And Very Personal 12/08/2004 Close And Very Personal 12/08/2004 Damage to DNA by reactive oxygen and nitrogen species: role in inflammatory disease and progression to cancer 12/08/2004 It is increasingly proposed that reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) play a key role in human cancer development, especially as evidence is growing that antioxidants may prevent or delay the onset of some types of cancer. Damage to DNA by reactive oxygen and nitrogen species: role in inflammatory disease and progression to cancer 12/08/2004 Definition of "Cancer Survivor" 12/08/2004 Definition of "Cancer Survivor" 12/08/2004 Denial Of Service Re:  Bonnie J. Troescher 02/03/2005 This is a letter I sent to the insurance companies about their "denial of service" for various treatments. It could well serve as a model for your situation -- since health insurance companies ALL have the same problem -- they have to work within a fixed amount of income, responding to claims and requests that will ALWAYS be higher than the income -- whether they admit it or not, all health insurance companies must find some way of rationing care. The most obvious methods are simple "denial of service" actions -- this letter explains how that applied in Bonnie's case. Detailed Guide: Esophagus Cancer How Is Esophagus Cancer Staged? 02/03/2005 Stage III: Cancers in this stage have either spread to the adventitia and to lymph nodes near the esophagus or they have spread beyond the adventitia into nearby organs, such as the trachea (windpipe), and may or may not have spread to the lymph nodes. The cancer has not spread to lymph nodes farther away from the esophagus (such as nodes in the neck or nodes in the lower abdomen). It has not spread through the bloodstream to organs farther away from the esophagus (such as the liver, bones, or brain). Difficulty Swallowing 02/03/2005 Most cases will require a "scope" test of the upper digestive system. Also known as a gastroscopy or EGD exam, this simple test is quickly and painlessly performed using a mild sedative. A thin, flexible, sterilized tube is passed through the mouth and down into the esophagus and stomach. A tiny color video camera within this instrument allows the doctor to directly examine the esophagus, stomach, and upper small intestine. When necessary, photographs and biopsies can be obtained for later review. Occasionally, barium x-rays may be requested to view the esophagus while swallowing. Distorted NCI Test Summaries 12/08/2004 Distorted NCI Test Summaries 12/08/2004 Downstaging, Neoadjuvant Therapy Improve Outcomes 02/03/2005 Cancer of the esophagus has often spread into the wall of the esophagus or into adjacent lymph nodes by the time it is diagnosed. "We typically see patients with mid to late stage cancers with cure rates of about 20%," explained Barbara Burtness, M.D., Yale medical oncologist. Burtness and Yale’s esophageal cancer team are focusing clinical trials to downstage esophageal cancers through neoadjuvent, or preoperative, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. "If we can shrink the tumor and reduce the likelihood of positive lymph nodes and involvement at the surgical margins, we can improve survival rates," she said. Esophageal Cancer 12/08/2004 Dysphagia that is difficulty in swallowing is a symptom indicating esophageal stenosis of benign or malignant origin. Esophageal Cancer 12/08/2004 Esophageal Cancer - Esophagectomy 02/03/2005 Surgical resection (removal) of the esophagus is indicated in several types of esophageal abnormalities, as well as for esophageal cancer. Your surgeon will choose one of several approaches for the removal of your esophagus and will describe the specific approach to be used for you. essiac or Essiac tea remedy 12/08/2004 essiac or Essiac tea remedy 12/08/2004 Final Battle In The Victory Over Cancer 02/03/2005 Cancer of the esophagus has a very high fatality rate -- the statistics show that 100% of the people who are diagnosed with cancer of the esophagus die from cancer of the esophagus -- about 80 percent of them die within two years. Jean was given two different survival estimates -- one was "less than 20%" and the other was "less than 5%." Fluorouracil (5FU) 02/03/2005 Fluorouracil (5FU) is chemotherapy that is given as a treatment for some types of cancer including bowel, breast, stomach, and gullet cancer. This section describes fluorouracil, how it is given and some of its possible side effects. It should ideally be read with CancerBACUP's information on chemotherapy, which gives more information and advice. Free Radicals 12/08/2004 Free Radicals 12/08/2004 Germanium In Medical Practice 12/08/2004 Germanium In Medical Practice 12/08/2004 Germanium Increases Macrophage Activity 02/03/2005 This is related to oxygen therapy in that this supplement (available by prescription only in the US) is supposed to fight cancer by making the body's tissues hold more oxygen and boost the immune system. Additionally, increased macrophage activity with Germanium, which also seems to stimulate interferon production, seems to be effective against tumors. [Journal of Interferon Research, 1984; 4] Germanium Sesquioxide: Safer Than Table Salt 02/03/2005 A report issued in 1987 by Okuda, et al, further compounded the misunderstanding. Two cases of renal toxicity were attributed to germanium sesquioxide35. The discussion section of this publication suggested possible product contamination but still attributed the toxicity to germanium sesquioxide. However, the presence of GeO2 contamination in the Okuda, et al, study was proven conclusively in a paper published the following year by Matsusaka, et al.36. Two years later, Okuda revised his position on germanium sesquioxide by demonstrating the inherent safety of chronic high doses of germanium sesquioxide (240 mg/kg/day) and the toxic effects of GeO2 at 150 g/kg/day 37. Germanium The Missing Element 02/03/2005 Germanium appears to significantly enhance the body's production of interferon. At the annual meeting of the Japan Cancer Association II in 1979, proceedings showed that germanium was a significant interferon-inducing agent. Studies published in the 1984 Journals of Interferon Research 4 confirmed these results. Graviola -- South American Herb 12/08/2004 Helpful Offer from Al 02/03/2005 I want to thank you both for taking your precious time in taking my phone call this morning. I'm sending a couple bottles of our Aloe Immune 500 mg with 90 capsules (200X dehydrated powder) and samples of the 200X spray-dried powder. Your package is coming by UPS morning delivery tomorrow. Hospice -- Medicare Part A 02/03/2005 Now, Hospice is almost always a service delivered in the patient's home where a variety of nurses, even doctors, care for the pain and discomfort of the patient. Generally, no treatments are allowed within the Hospice where the treatment is intended to cure some terminal illness. In order to be eligible for entry into the Hospice Program, generally, two physicians must certify that you have less than six months to live. How Do You Get Exactly The Treatment You Want? 02/03/2005 This is the actual document Karl used to get exactly the type of treatment for Jean -- after the PET scan showed no trace of cancer. After that scan, Jean could still not swallow. Karl learned more and more about the treatments which could solve that problem -- the below presents that information before even a final decision was made by Jean. How Does A Cell Use Sugar Instead of Oxygen For Energy? 12/08/2004 How Does A Cell Use Sugar Instead of Oxygen For Energy? 12/08/2004 Jean Ross Surgery To Remove The Esophagus 02/03/2005 Not here. The esophagus is not a very thick tube -- and if the scar tissue is an integral part of the esophagus, it would be virtually impossible to use a knife to cut away the scar tissue ONLY, and not damage the esophagus. That's why surgeons are so negative on using surgery to solve cancer of the esophagus -- they can't cut away some part of the area (cancerous) without damaging healthy parts of the area. Jean's Esophagus -- The Endoscopy Ultrasound -- September 28, 2004 02/03/2005 Actual photo images taken of Jean's esophagus taken with the TV camera during endoscopy. Jump in esophageal and stomach cancers prompts study 02/03/2005  "The most effective treatment appears to be combining radiation and chemotherapy before surgery, rather than surgery alone," she said. "In our recent trial, surgery was followed with a taxol-based regimen that the patient was not ‘resistant’ to." While the median survival has not been reached, 62% of patients were alive at two years. The results are better than previously reported for stage II through IVa cancers treated with surgery alone or with chemoradiation followed by surgery. "Improved survival appears to be tied to the post-surgical chemotherapy fighting cancer that is "lower stage" with fewer positive lymph nodes," Burtness said. Karl Loren's Journey Of Learning and Changing 02/03/2005 My life had taken a very adventurous path to my 71st birthday, a couple years ago, but it looked to me that I had finally arrived at thos "Golden Years" of comfortable retirement. It was not to be! Karl Loren's Protocol 02/03/2005 The following letter was actually written when dated, and delivered to Dr. Benowitcz. It later became the basis for his recommendation for coverage with the Insurance company. As of today, July 24, 2004, we are awaiting approval from the insurance company -- probably for a PET scan first, then the consultation at UCLA. I'll keep this page updated. Karl Loren Larger Image: Cancer Cells 12/08/2004 Larger Image: Cancer Cells 12/08/2004 At this stage the cells are largely undifferentiated and dividing. Cells, however, are still contained within the basal lamina and are separated from the stroma. Larger Image: Dysplasia 12/08/2004 The growth cycles of some of the cells have become abnormal, and dividing cells form an abnormally high percentage of the total cellular population. At this point, too, dividing stem cells are no longer limited to the basal portion of the epithelium. Larger Image: Dysplasia 12/08/2004 Larger Image: Genetic Alterations 12/08/2004 Larger Image: Genetic Alterations 12/08/2004 The substitution of one of a gene’s constituent nucleotides for another can sometimes contribute to carcinogenesis. The altered gene can sometimes code for a corrupted protein that functions poorly or not at all, which in turn can alter the growth characteristics of the cell. Larger Image: Malignancy 12/08/2004 Larger Image: Malignancy 12/08/2004 Figure 10. Malignancy begins when cells break through the basal lamina and invade the stroma and underlying tissues.

Metastatic cancer cells must penetrate the connective tissue of the basal lamina and the stroma before they can exit an organ.

Larger Image:  Normal Cell Division 12/08/2004 Larger Image:  Normal Cell Division 12/08/2004 Resting cells are in the phase called Gap0 (G0). During this period cells cannot divide, but they can differentiate by maturing and taking on the functions of the mature cell type. Larger Image:  Secondary Tumor 12/08/2004 Larger Image:  Secondary Tumor 12/08/2004 Figure 15. Once inside the new organ, the metastatic cancer cell divides and forms a secondary tumor.

Before spreading to new organs, cancer cells must chew through the collagen and other proteins making up the connective tissue that encapsulates organs and tissues. Larger Image:  What Turns A Normal Cell Into A  Cancer Cell 12/08/2004 LARYNGECTOMY FAQ'S 02/03/2005 You have a round organ such as the esophagus.  Around this circular organ you have scar tissue.  The most basic thing that scar tissue does is to CONTRACT.  When you have contracture around a circular organ you get narrowing or stricture.  Now, let's look at what happens when you dilate something.  What you do is forcibly break up the scar causing a new wound.  This results in guess what?  That's right, more scar tissue.  And what is scar going to do?  CONTRACT!!  Therefore you have set up a viciously cycle of scar, contracture, more scar, and more contracture. Hence, no improvement.  It is my feeling that to truly improve the situation, you have to bring in new tissue that is not affected by this cycle. Latest Words About Bonnie 02/03/2005 As I have often done, I publish very current information for those who may be interested. I published MANY pages to meet the publishing date of my Wednesday Letter -- newsletter dated June 9, 2004. But, this is a very active area just now so I'll regularly come back to this page and add whatever seems of interest. Letter from a 99 Year Old Atomic Physicist 12/08/2004 Letter from a 99 Year Old Atomic Physicist 12/08/2004 Letter To Radiation and Oncology Doctors 02/03/2005 When Bonnie started this process of cancer treatment we had the advice of our long-time family physician that many doctors prefer to NOT have letters from patients – being so busy, usually, and also in no small part because letters may be used as “matters of record” used in lawsuits. I am very aware of the terrible damage done to health care by tort lawyers and would like to eliminate that concern from our relationship. Both Bonnie and I renounce any right to sue any of the medical personnel connected in any way with Bonnie’s treatments over these past few months.  I would be quite willing to sign a more formal statement to this effect – and urge you to allow me to do that – just to remove that concern, no matter how tiny it may be. Letters About Jean From Friends 02/03/2005 I was thrilled to get your email this morning and see the light in her eyes. My prayers will increase along with the hope and admiration and respect I have for two people who love each other so much and have committed to helping so many others at a sacrifice to themselves. May her continued recovery be a blessing you so richly deserve. Lies:  Good and Bad! 02/03/2005 You have to work within an immoral system, and that doesn't make it very easy to "Seek to live with the truth!" which is one of the moral principles I try to live by. Low Oxygen Disorders Generally 12/08/2004 The single most basic cause of all disorders is the action of free radicals in the body. They are the sole original cause of all cancer and heart disease. There is no conceivable drug which can neutralize free radicals, but in fact most drugs CAUSE free radicals in the body. Low Oxygen Disorders Generally 12/08/2004 Lung Cancer -- Cancer Exactly Where The Oxygen Should Be? 12/08/2004 There is hardly any part of the body that deals more with oxygen than the lungs. Lung Cancer -- Cancer Exactly Where The Oxygen Should Be? 12/08/2004 Majority of pediatric cancer patients use alternative therapies 12/08/2004 Majority of pediatric cancer patients use alternative therapies 12/08/2004 Mary S. Maish, M.D., M.P.H. 02/03/2005 Matrix Metalloproteinase 12/08/2004 Matrix Metalloproteinase 12/08/2004 Cancers are cells that grow and divide without normal regulation. They can be local or metastasize. Until recently, the only treatment of metastatic tumors was cytotoxic chemotherapy. A complex process is involved in the development of metastases: invasion, intravasation of primary tumor cells, circulation, extravasation, seeding, and proliferation at distant sites. Medical Report And Questions on Surgery 02/03/2005 I expect that any optimistic report, including a report of “no cancer found” would be discounted by most doctors based on statistics and experience with other esophageal cancer patients.  On the other hand we believe that a very optimistic outlook is warranted because of the various alternative remedies we have been using throughout this time period.  I am not surprised at the PET scan and the EUS to report “no cancer,” but I am also not surprised at the lack of surprise by traditional doctors – they typically discount any such optimistic report and “know” that cancer is there – waiting to be found.  I do not seek any validation of any of these alternative remedies, but am quite ready to describe any or all of them in whatever detail is asked.  They have been described and published in hundreds of pages amongst my many web pages about Bonnie’s cancer and treatment. Metabolic Typing, Oxygen and Anti-Oxidants 12/08/2004 The body has 2 kinds of metabolism when it comes to oxygen: aerobic (with oxygen) and anaerobic (without oxygen). While it is true that certain infections, cancers and other adversities thrive in an anaerobic environment, it is not true that anaerobic is “bad” and that aerobic is “good” or that everyone should do whatever possible to increase oxygen and aerobic metabolism in the body. Metabolic Typing, Oxygen and Anti-Oxidants 12/08/2004 Metastasis 12/08/2004 Metastasis 02/09/2005 Metastasis is the spread or movement of cancer cells from the primary cancer site to another area of the body. Other than certain white blood cells, this is something most normal cells cannot do, and it is the most deadly characteristic of cancer. More On White Blood Cells and Macrophages 02/03/2005 Another five percent of the white blood cells are made up of monocytes which provide phagocytic defense. Once matured the monocytes circulate inside the blood for a few hours, then they migrate into the tissue where they grow in size and develop into macrophages. Macrophages are the largest phagocytes cells they are especially effective and having long life as phagocytes. Neupogen 02/03/2005 Neupogen costs about $200 per shot and is often covered by your health insurance ONLY when your white blood cell count is low enough to make it fit within the "rationing program" of the insurance company. NEUPOGEN® is a man-made form of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), which is made using the bacteria E coli. G-CSF is a substance naturally produced by the body. It stimulates the growth of neutrophils (nu-tro-fils), a type of white blood cell important in the body's fight against infection. No Vitamins Or Herbs Allowed During Traditional CAncer Treatment 12/08/2004 No Vitamins Or Herbs Allowed During Traditional CAncer Treatment 12/08/2004 When you enter most hospitals, for any serious procedure, certainly including any cancer treatment or surgery, you will be asked "innocently" about what "drugs" you are taking. That seems logical and right. They will also ask you about vitamins and herbs. You answer, maybe even bragging, thinking to impress the nurse with all your effort to take good care of yourself. Otto Warburg – Biography 12/08/2004 Otto Warburg – Biography 12/08/2004 Oxidative Theory of Cancer 12/08/2004 Each cell has the biochemical machinery for behaving as a cancer cell. Each cancer cell has the capacity for "normalizing" its behavior. What is the evidence for my viewpoint? Oxidative Theory of Cancer 12/08/2004 Pam's Journal: Slash, Burn, and Poison 12/08/2004 I was fortunate to be able to see Dr. Susan Love speak on behalf of Sense of Security earlier this year. She has written what's been called the Bible for women's breasts called "Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book." She is a surgeon and now an advocate for finding a cure for breast cancer. Pam's Journal: Slash, Burn, and Poison 12/08/2004 PET Scan Report 02/03/2005 This is the actual PET Scan which shows that Jean has no trace of cancer remaining -- as accurately as a PET scan can do. The language is "medical" and you need to work hard with a dictionary to understand it -- but I've also provided an interpretation you can use. Prostate and Breast Cancer 12/08/2004 Prostate and Breast Cancer 12/08/2004 Cancer is all around us. Malignant cells develop in our bodies every minute of every day of our lives. In 99.999% of the cases, the malignant cells are either too genetically unstable to survive or are recognized as foreign by our immune systems and destroyed. When we talk about cancer, we are really referring to a breakdown in our body’s ability to rid itself of abnormal cells. Prostate Cancer 12/08/2004  Tens of thousands of men are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year. Many thousands of others die, usually after a long course of illness. But considerable evidence exists that over treatment is rampant, and that there are more reasonable and more successful treatments than surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and conventional hormone suppression. Prostate Cancer 12/08/2004 Prostate Cancer -- If The Finger Finds Fault -- It Is  Time To Oxygenate! 12/08/2004 If you are a many over 50, perhaps you've had a "prostate exam." Not pleasant! Prostate Cancer -- If The Finger Finds Fault -- It Is  Time To Oxygenate! 12/08/2004 Radiation Causes Scar Tissue -- Resolution? 02/03/2005 After several biopsies they found the cancer had not returned. The scar tissue was created from 37-radiation treatments which formed over the years and finally blocked my wind pipe. Reasons for Vomiting 02/03/2005 If poisonous or harmful in your stomach, that material sends warning signals to your brain. The defense mechanism is to immediately eject that poisonous material from the body. This is done through the act of vomiting. Recent Developments -- This Page Published on Monday, July 11, 2004 02/03/2005 July 11, 2004: Bonnie’s feeding tube has presented a blockage so that at this moment she is unable to receive either water or food through the J Tube despite several different attempts to handle the situation. REJUVENATION, REGENERATION AND PROMOTIVE HEALTH 12/08/2004 REJUVENATION, REGENERATION AND PROMOTIVE HEALTH 12/08/2004 Second Opinion From UCLA 02/03/2005 My wife and I request a “second opinion” consultation with you on the subject of her past treatment for esophagus cancer, and her current condition. Should You Let The Future Happen, Or Cause It? 02/03/2005 This is the page where I both predict and plan for the next twelve months, starting with what I expect and want from an appointment with a GI doctor on August 30th, to the end of about 12 months. The terrible truth here is that too many people "let the future happen to them" while you really should be shaping your future, causatively. Snatching Defeat From The Jaws Of Victory 02/03/2005 Spontaneous Remission 02/03/2005 Taheebo Tea -- Bill Wead's Book, Second Opinion 02/03/2005 Recently for example, Health Canada has made selling the herbal Lapacho tea illegal and are teaming up with drug companies to try and limit health products. The American Cancer Society Proves Its Dishonesty 12/08/2004 The American Cancer Society Proves Its Dishonesty 12/08/2004 The CyberKnife For Surgery Instead Of Radiation 02/03/2005 The CyberKnife® represents an entirely new approach to radiosurgery. Incorporating a compact, lightweight linear accelerator mounted on a robotic arm, the CyberKnife provides the surgeon unparalleled flexibility in targeting. Advanced image guidance technology tracks patient and target position during treatment, ensuring accuracy without the use of an invasive head frame. The CyberKnife with DTS (Dynamic Tracking Software) is cleared to provide radiosurgery for lesions anywhere in the body when radiation treatment is indicated. The CyberKnife has often been used to radiosurgically treat otherwise untreatable tumors and malformations. Moreover, this instrument treats tumors at body sites, most of which are unreachable by other stereotactic systems. The Famous Rife Machine 12/08/2004 The Famous Rife Machine 12/08/2004 The Fateful "Swallowing Test" 02/03/2005 So, as she was feeling better, otherwise, we left the Hospice Program in order to get back into the regular insurance system where further tests and treatment could be done. These would NOT be treatments to cure the cancer, but "palliative treatments" to reduce the discomfort that was apparently NOT caused by the cancer, but WAS apparently caused by the chemo and radiation. So, the first service was described to us by the primary care physician as the "swallowing test." The FULL Cycle Of Cancer -- Normal Cell To Metastasis 12/08/2004 The FULL Cycle Of Cancer -- Normal Cell To Metastasis 12/08/2004 Karl Note: I consider the article below to be an extremely "important" piece of data because it is written by scientists who are part of the research effort to improve on conventional cancer treatment -- that which I call the "slash/burn/poison" technology. The FULL Cycle Of Cancer -- To `Metastasis -- Part II 12/08/2004 The FULL Cycle Of Cancer -- To `Metastasis -- Part II 12/08/2004 There has been intense interest in learning more about the specific nature of these proteases, since inhibiting them would go a long way toward preventing metastasis. Much of the focus has been on the family of proteases called matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). The Molecular Anatomy of an Ancient Adaptive Event 12/08/2004 The Molecular Anatomy of an Ancient Adaptive Event 12/08/2004 Gradualism is a cornerstone of evolutionary theory. In the classic view, alterations to an organism or its parts accumulate slowly, imperceptibly changing form and function until gradually there emerges a being or an appendage or a cell or a protein that differs from the ancestral form. The Most Fervent Believer May Need Help In His Unbelief 02/03/2005 After traveling a journey of some 30 years, preaching the gospel of the evils of slash, burn and poison technology, what do you think of your hero, Karl Loren, and heroine, Jean Ross, when they choose conventional treatment for her esophagus cancer -- chose the very slash, burn and poison that they have so denounced for so many years? The New Science -- A Novel and Unique Combination of Existing Components For The Prevention and Cure of Cancer 12/08/2004 The New Science -- A Novel and Unique Combination of Existing Components For The Prevention and Cure of Cancer 12/08/2004 I, Karl Loren, have developed and am developing a "new science" for the prevention and cure of cancer. I am doing this in collaboration with my distinguished friend Dr. Ayyangar in India. The Wrong Relationship Cause Of Health Problems 12/08/2004 The Wrong Relationship Cause Of Health Problems 12/08/2004 Toxins Cause Cancer, Alzheimer's 02/18/2005 Treatment for Esophagus Cancer 02/03/2005 There is a lot for you to think about when choosing the best way to treat or manage your cancer. There may be more than one treatment to choose from. You may feel that you need to make a decision quickly. But give yourself time to absorb the information you have learned. Talk to your doctor. Look at the list of questions at the end of this piece to get some ideas. Then add your own. UCLA Medical Opinion -- September 7 2004 02/03/2005 Identification: Ms. Troescher is a very pleasant 67-year-old Caucasian woman accompanied today by her husband with the primary complaint of dysphagia believed secondary to adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction. Upper GI Series (Barium Swallow Test) 02/03/2005 An upper GI (gastrointestinal) series, or barium swallow, is a radiology test which is used to visualize the structures of the upper digestive system (the esophagus, stomach and duodenum). These structures are seen during the examination and the images are also saved for further review on x-ray film. The results of an upper GI series can reveal conditions such as ulcers, tumors, hiatal hernias, scarring, blockages, and abnormalities of the muscular wall of the gastrointestinal tissues. What are some investigational therapies for Barrett's esophagus? 02/03/2005 At the present time, ablation therapies (therapies that destroy the Barrett's lining) remain the most widely available investigational (experimental) therapies in the treatment of Barrett's high-grade dysplasia and early cancer, although other investigational therapies are being developed. There are three main types of ablation therapy used today in the treatment of Barrett's esophagus. These therapies are photodynamic therapy, thermal ablation and endoscopic mucosal resection. What Is Cancer -- An Overview 12/08/2004 Cancer is a word that refers to approximately 150 diseases that exhibit two characteristics in common: (1) an uncontrolled growth of cells and (2) the ability to invade and damage normal tissues either locally or at distant sites in the body. What Is Cancer -- An Overview 12/08/2004 What is dysplasia? 02/03/2005 If histologic analyses of biopsies obtained from the esophagus are interpreted or read by the pathologist as Barrett's esophagus (specialized intestinal metaplasia of the esophagus), the pathologist then looks for changes in the Barrett's tissue referred to collectively as dysplasia. What Is Laparoscopy? 02/03/2005 Laparoscopy (pronounced "lap-a-ROSS-coe-pee") is a surgical procedure performed through very small incisions in the abdomen, using specialized instruments. A pencil-thin instrument called a laparoscope is used, and it gives the surgeon an exceptionally clear view, on a TV monitor, of the inside of the abdominal cavity. White Blood Cells & Macrophages 02/03/2005 A "macrophage" is NOT one of the types of "white blood cells." But, they inter-relate often, as described below. The macrophage is the "eating" cell that engulfs bacteria (and dead cancer). The Macrophage is derived from one of the types of white blood cells. Your Body After Cancer Treatment 02/03/2005 Go slowly at first. If you have painful scars, you may have to get used to having the scar touched little by little. Zyvox -- Drug Prescription With Hidden Revelation 02/03/2005 FDA today approved Zyvox (linezolid), the first antibacterial drug in a new class to treat infections associated with vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREF), including cases with bloodstream infection. Zyvox also received approval for treatment of hospital-acquired pneumonia and complicated skin and skin structure infections, including cases due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). In addition, approval was granted for treatment of community-acquired pneumonia and uncomplicated skin and skin structure infections. The following may be used to respond to questions.
