                                          Cancer Researchers in the Past and Today

The root cause of cancer was discovered in 1890 by William Russell (1852-1940). The brilliant Dr. Russell saw microbes both inside and outside of the cancer cells. It was obvious that the microbes inside the cancer cells were the ones causing the cancer.
The cancer microbe was studied in detail in the early 1900s and was found to be highly pleomorphic. Many years later another microbiologist, Gaston Naessens, counted 16 different sizes and shapes of the cancer microbe. (see the book: The Persecution and Trial of Gaston Naessens, by Christopher Bird). The medical establishment in Canada was so delighted with his discovery that they had him thrown in jail!!You see, if cancer is caused by microbes that are inside the cancer cells, then it is easy to cure cancer; just kill the microbes inside the cancer cells!! But no medical establishment wants people to know that cancer can be cured. They want cancer to be a mysterious disease that will never be cured!!The size and shape of the microbe is a function of the pH inside the cancer cell. The higher the pH, the smaller the microbe.The higher the pH the more lethargic the cancer microbes become and the cancer spreads more slowly. Natural medicine practitioners take advantage of this fact and frequently use highly alkaline protocols to slow down the spread of the cancer and in many cases these treatments can cure the cancer.Also, Dr. Royal Rife, a microbiologist, in the 1930s, also knew that it was microbes which were inside the cancer cells which caused cancer. By knowing this he developed a gentle electromedicine device to kill these microbes. This device had a 100% cure rate and it did nothing but kill microbes inside the cancer cells.The AMA and FDA (Food and Drug Administration) were so incensed that he was curing cancer that the AMA tried to "buy him out." When he refused the FDA came in and destroyed his lab and his machines which had not already been sold and delivered.Researchers since then have found three of his original machines, which had been sold before the FDA destroyed his lab. They have made the specifications of his equipment public information.

  • A word of warning is in order. There are over a hundred brands of "Rife Machines" sold over the Internet. Almost none of them were designed to kill the microbes inside the cancer cells because they do not have the critical "carrier wave" or "carrier frequency," nor are they powerful enough to kill these microbes without the carrier frequency to carry them inside the cancer cells. The two "High RF Frequency Protocol" devices (this is actually not their real name), mentioned on this website, do have this carrier wave and they are powerful enough to kill these microbes. These are true "Rife Machines" which use high-tech circuitry. See the left side-bar for 'High RF Freq Protocol'.
Dr. Virginia Livingston's team of cancer researchers discovered why cancer cells have DNA damage. They discovered that the microbes inside the cancer cells get inside the cell nucleus and their DNA mixes with the DNA of the cell, which changes the DNA of the cancer cells.In fact, the concept that the DNA of a microbe, which gets inside of a human cell nucleus, and thus changes the DNA of the human cell, is at the heart of gene therapy!! This is not some strange theory, it is a concept which is used in modern medicine to treat genetic diseases.My point is that the Livingston team discovered that the DNA damage occurs AFTER the cell is already cancerous!!Dr. Livingston died without any recognition from orthodox medicine for her team's critical discovery. Instead, orthodox medicine has ignored her team's discovery and still claims that it is DNA damage that causes cancer!! This gives them an excuse to claim that a cure for cancer is 50 years away. A cure for cancer will always be 50 years away according to anyone who is in bed with the pharmaceutical industry, such as the American Cancer Society.By claiming that DNA damage causes cancer, the public believes that cancer will never be cured. But Virginia Livingston was curing cancer with a vaccine she developed.This DNA damage (which is a result of cancer, not a cause of cancer), is what all large "cancer research" organizations claim cause cancer!! They are spending billions of dollars trying to fix this DNA damage instead of trying to safely target and kill the cancer cells using Mother Nature (who already knows how to target and kill cancer cells) or by killing the microbes inside the cancer cells (which reverts the cancer cells into normal cells), which is how Dr. Rife cured cancer!!The second concept I wish to discuss is regarding the nature of cancer cells. It was discovered in about 1930, and a Nobel Prize was awarded for this discovery, that the defining characteristic of cancer cells is low ATP energy. ATP is a molecule which is made inside the mitochondria, which is inside of all cells. There are thousands of mitochondria inside of all cells and the ATP is what provides cells their energy.So why do cancer cells have low ATP energy and who cares if there are microbes inside the cancer cells?In 2004, an ICRF cancer researcher tied these two major discoveries together by explaining the mechanism of how these microbes, which are inside of the cancer cells, block the production of ATP molecules. In other words, he explained that cancer is caused because the microbes inside the cancer cells block the production of ATP in two different ways.It is beyond the scope of this article to explain this mechanism, and its ramifications, but if you are interested see the "What Causes Cancer" article which is linked to on the left side-bar (i.e. the "left side-bar" is the column of links on the left side of most pages).This discovery supported the claim of Dr. Rife that if you kill these microbes the cancer cells will revert into normal cells. They become normal cells again (or for the first time in many cases) because with no microbes inside the cell the ATP energy will be restored and the cell will be healthy again!!This discovery has led to several new, highly effective natural cancer treatments, particularly DMSO, MSM and honey protocols. The DMSO, MSM and honey are "Trojan Horses" to get microbe-killing substances inside of cancer cells to kill the microbes. DMSO is actually used by one major natural medicine cancer clinic, the Camelot Cancer Care clinic in Tulsa, Oklahoma.This discovery also explained how some previously existing natural cancer treatments worked.The discovery also led to the fact that some natural cancer treatments would conflict with each other (the conflict is not dangerous, but one treatment may neutralize another treatment). The conflict can occur because one type of cancer treatment is trying to lower ATP energy (to cause the cancer cells to fall apart), and another treatment is trying to kill the microbes inside the cancer cells, which would raise ATP energy because when the microbes are gone, so is the reason ATP energy in cancer cells stays low.For example, do not mix Paw Paw (which causes cancer cells to fall apart by lowering ATP energy) with the High RF Frequency Protocol, which was designed to kill the microbes inside the cancer cells and thus revert the cancer cells into normal cells. When you kill the microbes the ATP energy rises because there is nothing to block the creation of ATP energy (the microbes are what block the ATP energy).Thus, one protocol is lowering the ATP energy and the other protocol is incidentally raising the ATP energy. The Paw Paw treatment will be worthless. The High RF Frequency Protocol will work just fine because it is interested in microbes; it is not directly interested in ATP energy.A different ICRF cancer researcher designed the protocol for using the "High RF Frequency Protocol" for cancer. It is one thing to have the equipment and another thing to know how to use it.Let us partially summarize what the cancer microbe does.First, the cancer microbe largely or totally blocks the production of ATP molecules in the mitochondria (and the cancer cells have to revert to another method, fermentation, to make enough ATP molecules to stay alive).Second, the DNA of the cancer microbes is what causes the DNA damage of the cancer cells after the cell is already cancerous or is beginning to become cancerous.Third, the cancer microbe also excretes enzymes that coat the outside of the cancer cells so the immune system cannot identify them as cancer cells and thus the immune system cannot safely target and kill them. The existence of the enzyme coating has been known about for more than 50 years in natural medicine.In fact, over 50 years ago there were natural cancer treatments (e.g. proteolytic enzymes) that stripped away these enzyme coatings so the immune system could identify the cancer cells and kill them. Dr. Kelley used proteolytic enzymes as part of his treatment.The existence of this protein coating is proof that DNA damage is not the cause of cancer. How could DNA damage create a coating of enzymes on the surface of cancer cells??Fourth, Dr. Mathias Rath, MD, who had to flee the United States to avoid being arrested for curing cancer, discovered that these enzymes (or different enzymes excreted by these microbes, we don't know) also cut a path across tissue so the cancer cells could spread more easily.It is beyond the scope of this article to go any further, but my point is that there has been researcher after researcher who knew about the cancer microbes inside the cancer cells. And there have been a growing number of clever tactics developed to kill these microbes.When you kill all of the microbes inside of a cancer cell, the cancer cell will revert into a normal cell because there is nothing to block the production of ATP energy. This is the ideal way to cure cancer because there are no dead cells and no debris from dead cells.But most natural cancer treatments work in other ways.Some treatments use natural substances that target and kill cancer cells. Laetrile, or Vitamin B17, is a perfect example. Carrots and purple grapes both contain multiple nutrients that can target and kill cancer cells. One researcher thinks that it is the oxalic acid in carrots that cures the cancer. He may be right.Other treatments work by supercharging the immune system and then letting the immune system deal with the cancer. One example is Dr. Bob Beck, who had a PhD in physics. He designed a cancer treatment that removed all microbes from the bloodstream and found out that by doing this the immune system was supercharged and the immune system could get rid of the cancer cells!!The problem with building the immune system is that it is a slow process. Many cancer patients today who seek out natural cancer treatments have been sent home to die and do not have the time left to live to have their immune system rebuilt after it had been damaged by chemotherapy. But even these patients can benefit from the Bob Beck Protocol, but it should not be their primary protocol.Some treatments work by using super-nutrients to "keep the patient alive" (so they have more time to treat their cancer) by using special cell-energizing supplements. The Budwig Diet is a good example. The Photon Genius, an electromedicine device, is the best way to energize cells quickly (see the Photon Protocol article or the "Weak Cancer Patients" article or the "Understanding Treating Cancer" article).In fact, the best natural medicine treatments today use a combination of tactics. One highly nutritional protocol "keeps the patient alive" and at the same time other treatments are dealing with the cancer cells and yet other treatments are building the immune system, etc.The three most powerful treatments on this website, the Photon Protocol, Cellect-Budwig Protocol and Cesium Chloride Protocol, are all multi-pronged approaches, and all come with expert support.Some newer protocols use the technology of killing the microbes inside the cancer cells, such as the High RF Frequency Protocol, the DMSO protocols and honey protocols. Most of the DMSO protocols are on the website of the Independent Cancer Research Foundation, though the "Overnight Cure For Cancer Protocol" is a DMSO-based protocol and it is on this website. I support this protocol because I have been researching DMSO since 2004.In theory, DMSO could cure cancer in one day (thus the term "Overnight Cure For Cancer"), as it does not stress the stomach because it can be taken transdermally (i.e. through the skin). However we are concerned about Herxheimer's (which is severe brain fog caused by the release of mycotoxins by dead microbes) so we have not tried to cure cancer in one day with this protocol.As already mentioned, there is one outstanding clinic which uses DMSO to "carry" microbe-killing substances inside of cancer cells. It is a 30-day protocol (the Camelot Cancer Care clinic - see the Clinics article).The MSM protocols were designed to do this also and we hoped they would be as effective as the DMSO protocols (because the MSM molecule is almost identical to the DMSO molecule and MSM does not cause the body odor of DMSO), but so far the DMSO protocols seem to be significantly more effective. However, MSM is used to help clean lactic acid out of the blood and do other things, so it has its own benefits.My point is that it is common to combine multiple approaches in the same treatment. That is what the experts work on accomplishing.This is just an introduction to modern natural medicine treatments. The "Understanding Treating Cancer" article, at the top of the left side-bar, goes into more issues.
                                           The Genius Behind The New Treatments


Let me start with a question. What computer program on this planet is far and away the most complex and sophisticated computer program?
The answer is human DNA. In fact, after studying human DNA since 1953, scientists still have no clue what 97% of human DNA does!! Human DNA is a computer program with 3.2 billion nucleotides in base 4. It is equivalent to a 6.2 billion bit long compiled computer program, but it is incomprehensible in complexity.So who wrote the computer program known as human DNA? It was not evolution, as some well-funded and statistically challenged atheists/evolutionists would tell you, it was Mother Nature (i.e. God).In fact, much of the funding for supporting the theory of evolution comes from the owners of the pharmaceutical industry via a complex maze of shell organizations. The multi-billionaire owners of the pharmaceutical industry don't want anyone to believe that Mother Nature is smart, so they fund "scientists" who support the mathematically absurd theory of evolution!!Here is another question: does Mother Nature love Her children? Of course, the answer is yes.You see, Dr. Kelley and the newer researchers do not use chemotherapy or radiation (which do not target cancer cells), rather they use treatments designed by the ultimate genius who designed human DNA and the DNA of all plants and animals on this planet. They take advantage of the love and genius of Mother Nature.Do you think the qualifications of the genius who designed all DNA on this planet would qualify the person to design safe and effective cancer treatments that can target and kill cancer cells? Of course it does.Mother Nature loves Her children, so are you surprised that Mother Nature has carefully designed and put many natural molecules in plants which can safely target and kill cancer cells? Mother Nature's cancer treatments are called "natural cancer treatments" or "alternative cancer treatments".The medical establishment could have a 90% cure rate for cancer tomorrow if they really wanted to cure cancer, but they never want to use natural molecules because natural molecules cannot be patented and thus the treatments that Dr. Kelly used are not profitable enough for them.

 
                             The Future of Cancer Treatments Is Already Here!!

Did you know that "cure rates" for the same kind of cancer can range from 3% to 90%? Cancer treatments with 90% cure rates have existed for decades. This article will talk about the cancer treatments with 90% cure rates. So fasten your seat belt and get ready to learn about a world you didn't know existed!!
The problem with finding the 90% cure rates is information. The problem is getting people to understand that the media doesn't care who has the highest cure rate, they only care who has the biggest bank account. The media does not glorify the best cancer treatments, they glorify the most profitable cancer treatments.


  • And when you trust your television
    What you get is what you got
    Cause when they own the information
    Oh, they can bend it all they want
 
This article will describe how the virtually unknown treatments with 90% cure rates work. These treatments can target cancer cells and thus they can be given in very high doses because they do no harm to healthy cells.This article will also discuss why DNA damage does not cause cancer!! It will also explain what causes this DNA damage and why the DNA damage cannot occur until after the cell is already cancerous.Not only is cancer not caused by DNA damage, but safe and gentle cancer treatments also exist that can revert cancer cells into normal cells. This was first done in the 1930s, but the technology was shut down by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which works for the drug companies. The good news is that far better treatments exist today. How these treatments work will be explained below.But even if DNA damage did cause cancer, why waste your time fixing the DNA if it is possible to safely target and kill cancer cells? Does DNA damage protect a cancer cell from being killed? Of course not!!Safe and gentle cancer treatments, with 90% cure rates, have existed for decades, but medical doctors rarely use the safe and effective treatments and instead are quite content to use cancer treatments which have less than a 3%, 5-year cure rate (Clinical Oncology (2004) 16: 549-560)!!Let me say this in another way: in five years after diagnosis, 97% of the cancer patients treated with standard cancer treatments are dead.So who uses the safe, gentle and effective treatments? As one example, the late Dr. William D. Kelley, who died in 2005, treated more than 33,000 cancer patients. Dr. Kelley was able to cure more than 90% of the cancer patients who were initially treated by him.Compare Dr. Kelley's 90% cure rate to the current overall 5-year cure rate of less than 3%!!Why has the medical community almost universally refused to integrate Dr. Kelley's methods into their treatments? The reason is that the highly effective treatments used by Dr. Kelley are not as profitable, by a wide margin, as their current treatments. The American Medical Association (AMA) was so upset with Dr. Kelley they had him thrown in jail and he was forced to move to Mexico to treat cancer patients.Why have the media's "investigative journalists" not glorified Dr. Kelley and his amazing cancer treatments? For the same reason, the products Dr. Kelley used are not as profitable to the media, by a wide margin, as current treatments.In fact, the propaganda machine of the media has totally ignored Dr. Kelley, as has the medical establishment. As a result, the general public cannot believe that someone could have a cure rate that high!!Because of the media almost all cancer patients, when they are diagnosed with cancer, cannot get filled with chemotherapy fast enough. The media is owned by multi-billionaires, just like the pharmaceutical industry is owned by multi-billionaires. These multi-billionaires are good friends and they have their own "clubs" for the ultra-rich, such as the Bilderberg Group and Trilateral Commission.Unlike the multi-billionaires in the media and medical establishment, who disdain the "common people," Dr. Kelley was not interested in money, he was interested in helping cancer patients. Wow, what a concept, he didn't love money more than people!!The good news is that many cancer researchers today are following in the footsteps of Dr. Kelley and are not interested in the highly profitable treatments of current medicine. They are pushing forward with even newer treatments based on new discoveries.At the Independent Cancer Research Foundation, or ICRF, we are proud to say that we are part of the continuing heritage of Dr. Kelley and we have made discoveries Dr. Kelly never knew about. We, and many others like us, are blacklisted by the media because we represent treatments that are in the best interests of cancer patients, not profits.Modern day cancer researchers, who are not controlled by the pharmaceutical industry, have access to far better materials than what Dr. Kelley had access to.For example, the Cellect-Budwig protocol with optional GB-4000 M.O.P.A.; the Cesium Chloride Protocol with optional QRS and the Photon Protocol with one or both of the Photon devices are only three protocols which use technologies Dr. Kelley never knew about. (The items in blue are totally safe "electromedicine devices.")It is hard to get people to understand that the goal of the media is not to inform, but to control. By controlling the information they control their audience and that is how the media maximizes their profits.The goal of the media is the same as that of all dictators - control the information and you control the minds of the people:
  • "No one understood better than Stalin that the true object of propaganda is neither to convince nor even to persuade, but to produce a uniform pattern of public utterance in which the first trace of unorthodox thought immediately reveals itself as a jarring dissonance."
The media are masters of creating a uniform pattern of public utterance in which the first trace of the truth immediately reveals itself as a jarring dissonanceOne way they do this is by glorifying medical doctors on television. It seems like medical doctors (real or pretend) are constantly showing up on the tube. Because of this, when someone is diagnosed with cancer, they run to their nearest medical doctor. The uniform pattern of public utterance has been created by the media and no one, and I mean no one, will believe that cancer treatments with 90% cure rates already exist!!When I tell people that cancer treatments with 90% cure rates already exist, you can bet they will respond with jarring dissonance. The media has done their job well.If you feel like you can handle the truth, even when the truth is the opposite of what the media says, then read on and you will find a world that you did not know existed. You will find a hidden world were 90% cure rates, on newly diagnosed cancer patients, are common.And these protocols are even highly effective for those who have already had chemotherapy, surgery and radiation; though the five-year cure rate for those who start with orthodox cancer treatments is about half of that for those who start with Dr. Kelley-type protocols!!
 
                        FUTURE PROPOSAL ON CANCER TREATMENT SOON....

A drug that helps the immune system to break down cancerous tumors has been developed and is set to begin human testing early next year.
The drug, developed by researchers at the University of Stanford, has been successful on different of cancers - including breast, bowel, prostate, ovarian and brain - and could even be a cure, they said.

The drug's effectiveness centers on its relationship with a protein called CD47, which is found on the surface of cancer cells in high quantities.
The protein prevents the cancer from being engulfed and eaten by immune cells called macrophages, which serve as the body's garbage trucks by eating old or damaged cells.
The researchers made antibodies that would bind to the CD-47 on the cancer cell so that when a macrophage came along, it did not see CD-47 on the cell and engulfed everything.
So when the drug masked this 'don't-eat-me signal', it allowed the immune system to attack the cancer, destroying some entirely and shrinking others

    CURE CANCER

                                              DRUGS EFFECT
    Targeted drugs used to treat cancer are usually designed to bind to a specific protein on/in the cells. A problem with this approach is that some normal cells may also have that protein, and they can be killed as well.
     Now, nano-robots containing antibodies and short pieces of DNA have been used to refine the targeting process. In the experimental system, light can be produced, showing that the right cells have been found. The method should allow much more precise targeting of cancer cells...and less side effects.

  • Not enough girls getting HPV vaccine!

    The proportion of eligible girls getting the HPV vaccine only about one in two. This is despite the very good safety and effectiveness of the vaccine. Most of the girls that don't get the vaccine DO get other vaccines.

    Why???
    ...
    Many parents don't want to give their daughters the vaccine because they mistakenly believe that vaccination will make their daughters more sexually active. The reason that the vaccine is recommended for young girls is that it should be given BEFORE they become sexually active. Several studies have shown that being vaccinated does not encourage girls to engage in sex.

    There is also the belief that the vaccine is not safe, even though NO deaths have been linked to the vaccine. There have been some side effects seen, but they are rare and temporary. The vaccine DOES prevent infection and can save lives!

  • New target found for triple negative breast cancer.

    Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) lacks three important proteins found on other breast cancers. Because of this, these cancers are harder to treat, more likely to recur, and have lower survival.

    A genomic search performed in Singapore has identified at least one new potential target. The protein, called UBASH3B, is found at high levels in 1 in 3 TNBC patients. Blocking the activity of the gene reduces cancer spread in mouse models of breast cancer.

  • Do bigger animals get more cancer?

    If cancer is something that happens more or less randomly when cells get damaged, it is reasonable to think that larger animals (which have more cells) would get cancer more than smaller animals. It turns out that this is not true. This is called 'Peto's paradox' after the biologist who first discovered it.

    WHY don't big animals get more cancer? That is an area of research and debate. One possibility is that small animals, like mice, put more energy into avoiding being eaten and into reproducing quickly. Larger animals, like a whale, live longer and can put more of their energy into fighting off things like cancer.

  • Billions and billions of pieces of the cancer puzzle...

    The NCI-60 an group of sixty different cancer cell lines from humans. (A cell line is made by growing cancer cells in the lab. If they can grow forever, they are considered a cell 'line'.) Researchers have used the cell lines to collect information on the differences between their genes. Over 6 BILLION pieces of information are organized and stored in the new collection (called a database). The database is the largest of its kind, available to the public, and very well defined. All scientists can use the information provided in the database to conduct new cancer research.

    Data was collected on the ten most frequently mutated genes seen in the lines, helping researchers identify potential drug targets as and drug responses. Scientists hope the database will allow many researchers to use the cell lines in experiments and explore drug treatments.

  • You've heard about rehab...what about pre-hab?

    While most care focuses on the physical and mental health of patients during cancer treatment, research suggests that the time BEFORE treatment is also critical for patients. The treatment of patients during this times is called cancer 'prehabilitation', and it focuses on the patient during the time between when they are diagnosed and the start of treatment. During this time it is important for patients to have mental and physical health assessments to gauge their baseline level quality of life before treatment. This will allow them to be better cared for during treatment. Besides assessments, prehabilitation focuses on exercise and psychological guidance to help the patient be better prepared for what they might encounter during their cancer treatment. Research suggests that patients who get prehabilitation have better outcomes during and after treatment. It has even been shown to reduce healthcare costs.

  • Boys need to get vaccinated against HPV too!

    The human papillomavirus (HPV) is the MOST COMMON sexually transmitted agent. Vaccination against HPV is more common among women because of the well known association with cervical cancer, but the virus also causes penile cancers in men and anal and head/neck cancers in both men and women. Men pass the infection to their sex partners, making vaccination key to controlling the spread of the virus.
