Dr. Patrick Quillin and I discuss why nutrition is not a part of cancer treatment.
_____
Dr. Patrick Quillin is an internationally recognized expert in the area of nutrition and cancer. He has 30 years experience as a clinical nutritionist, of which 10 years were spent as the Vice President of Nutrition for Cancer Treatment Centers of America where he worked with thousands of cancer patients in a hospital setting.
My interview with Dr. Quillin is a treasure trove of valuable insight on holistic healing and cancer prevention as well as the inner workings of the pharmaceutical and cancer industries. Do not miss this one! Enjoy!
"Sugar doesn’t feed cancer or stimulate it to grow . . . Insulin does." Excellent discussion on how to treat cancer, all kinds of cancer, by focusing on methionine restriction. Apparently,
animal protein, and protein of all kinds, is high in methionine. So the
goal, according to Mark Simon, is to restrict production of methionine in order
to restrict the growth of tumors and to shrink them. One diet that helps
achieve this is an all-fruit diet for 6 weeks. Fruit has very little
methionine. Fruits also contain protein, and therefore contain
methionine, so you'll want to consume fruits with lower levels of methionine.
What this restriction does is create an oxidative condition inside the
cancer cells. Remember that cancer cells do not do well in an oxygenated
environment. A lot of people take anti-oxidant supplements to fight cancer cells.
Turns out that anti-oxidants have a protective effect on cancer cells by
protecting the protein outer layer of the cancer cell. What you want to
achieve, according to Simon, is to pierce through and break that hard protein
shell on the cancer cell and oxidize it. What confuses me a little is that a lot of fruits naturally contain anti-oxidants, like Vitamin C, E, and others. If one is supposed to avoid anti-oxidant supplements, how then or why would a diet rich in fruit be beneficial whereas anti-oxidant supplementation would not? Next, one will have to deal with the problems with
eliminating the cancer tissue. As the cancer cell tissue breaks up it is
still toxic. Perhaps no longer cancerous but still poisonous to your
digestive system and blood stream where it has to pass through during
elimination.
One product
that Simon recommended was Sodium Selenite. Most brands cost under $20
with some costing as little as $6. It sounds like a powerful cancer
treatment. WiseGeek has this to say about Sodium Selenite:
Chemical selenium from sodium selenite
has both advantages and disadvantages. One advantage is that the supplement is
antimicrobial. Another is that of all the inorganic forms of selenium,
including monoselenodiacetic acid andselenomethionine, sodium selenite has proven
the most successful in thwarting cancer in lab tests. A disadvantage, aside
from the alleged toxicity, is that the sodium-selenium compound is not as
bioavailable as natural selenium.
What Sodium Selenite does, according to Simon, is it provides
the enzymes necessary to break up cancer. As part of the all-fruit diet,
he highlights the powers of pineapple and papaya. Life Extension points out the benefits of taking all 3 forms of selenium:
Generally, we ingest selenium from a variety of plant and
animal sources in several different forms, each of which has its own unique
suite of activities. The three forms of selenium most important in cancer
prevention aresodium selenite,L-selenomethionine,andselenium-methyl
L-selenocysteine.
These three compounds differ in the way your body handles them,
and in their impact on your risk for cancer.31For example, theorganicselenium compoundL-selenomethionineisbetter
absorbed than inorganic sodium selenite.32Butinorganicsodium selenitemore effectively increases genetic
expression of the main selenium-containing antioxidant enzyme glutathione
peroxidase.33In general, the three selenium compounds complement one another
in the ways they affect your body's expression of important proteins involved
in cancer prevention and suppression.34In addition, all three selenium
compounds induce cell death in various cancer types, but each compound is
better at destroying some cancers than others.34,35Within theorganiccompounds,
differences exist.L-selenomethionineincreases
cancer cell death by apoptosis, for example, only in cells with an intact
"suicide" gene called p53.34Selenium-methyl
L-selenocysteine, on the other hand, induces apoptosis in
mutated cancer cells that lack this vital control mechanism.34The totality of this data indicates whyboththe organic forms of selenium
(L-selenomethionine and selenium-methyl L-selenocysteine), plus inorganic
sodium selenite, are required to kill off all incipient cancer cells that might
be developing in your body.
Chris points out, too,
that it isn't the sugars that makes a tumor or cancer to grow; it is something
else. Insulin does. Insulin is a tumor-growth promoter.

Chris Vark of Chris Beat Cancer interviews retired oncology nurse, Valerie Warwick. She says that cancer
is a survival response.
Cancer
manifests itself because it is trying to survive some serious ailment in your
body.
"Don't
patients get nutritional advice from their doctors?"
"Oh,
yeah, right."
"Patients
are nutritionally devastated."
What about Vitamin C? Low blood platelet caused
one patient to bleed everywhere. He had cracked lips. He was depleted. The
nurse suggested Vitamin C, because she thought his symptoms looked like scurvy.
Vitamin
C is an antioxidant that your body uses to combat free radicals. If
you've accepted chemo-therapy as a cancer treatment, it will for sure, 100%
sure, deplete your body's Vitamin C stores and let the free radicals reign in
your system.
"Chemotherapy drugs are bought at a discount from the mfg. 60% of oncologist revenue comes from chemotherapy drugs." So there's that.
Chris: "All of it seems like criminal negligence . . . to me."
Valerie: "Yeah . . . it is."
They're not allowed to offer any other therapies. they'll be shunned by their peers. They'll get reported to the board. They'll lose their license. It's a very tight peer group thing. "You're not one of those [who preaches Vitamin C], are you?"
Nurses know what's up. And are carefully trying to give good advice.
She got reported to the board of nursing for a product that was not FDA-approved. American people do not know that doctors are not allowed to prescribe anything other than surgery, chemo, or radiation for cancer treatment. Doctors are trapped in a system that pays them really well, to keep doing what they're doing despite miserable results. System has been hijacked by pharmaceutical companies. There's a pill for every ill. And they pooh-pooh the nutrition. Can't say that nutrition cures or reverses disease. And it's really all about diet. At the 32-minute mark, Chris asks Valerie about Ozone therapy. Now remember, she is an oncology nurse so her realm is how cancer responds to certain treatments. And ozone therapy works well on cancer for the main reason that ozone is concentrated oxygen and cancer does not thrive in oxygenated environments.
