11 12 IV VITAMIN C & DOXYCYCLINE AMYGDALIN Some cancer cells act in a similar way to stem cells when it comes to reproducing and sustaining a tumor. These cancer stem cells Laetrile (also known as Amygdalin and Vitamin B17) is a concentrated are believed to be the engine behind the growth, spread, and form of nitriloside found in the seeds of bitter almonds, apricots, reoccurrence of tumors. Stopping or interfering with their action cherry and other fruits. It properties have been used and studied may also lower the resistance to cancer treatment. extensively for well over 100 years. The most common source of B17 is the apricot kernel although it can be found in other fruits. By using the antibiotic doxycycline, cells are inhibited to switch B17 can be administered orally or intravenously. It is not only well their fuel source and they are left with glucose as their only source known for its anti-cancer properties but also for its use in pain of energy. When followed with ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), which management. removes the glucose, cancer stem cells are effectively starved to death. Laetrile is made up of glucose, hydrogen cyanide (the reason for all the discussion about Laetrile) and benzaldehyde (an effective painkiller). When injected into the body, laetrile is broken down by an enzyme called rhodanese, which is present in healthy cells. This breaks it down into two by-products, thiocyanate and benzoic acid, which are beneficial in nourishing healthy cells.

EGCG The theory behind the use of laetrile in cancer therapy is that, cancer Green tea is a daily beverage in Japan, one of the countries with cells do not have the enzyme rhodanese. Instead, they have a the lowest cancer occurrences in the world. Cancer prevention different enzyme called beta-glucosidase.

This reaction destroys and kills the cancer cells, allowing laetrile to act with selective toxicity. This means that cancer cells Intravenous EGCG is part of our anti-cancer IV regimen used to curb are targeted, leaving non-cancerous cells relatively unharmed. and prevent cancer growth. Studies have shown that consumption of green tea can not only delay cancer onset but also inhibit and prevent reoccurrence following cancer treatment. Scientist were also able to show that EGCG and green tea extract inhibit the growth of human cancer cell lines.

13 14 OZONE THERAPY Ozone is a powerful and safe “super oxygen”. During the treatment, the patient’s own blood is enriched with ozone and administered back into the blood stream intravenously through a closed system. This can lead to a higher oxygen content in the blood and tissue. Healthy cells are stimulated, and multiply more rapidly.

Ozone therapies are also thought to stimulate white blood cell production, kill microorganisms, improve oxygenation, help the body to fight infections and , and stimulate the body’s COLON-HYDRO metabolism. THERAPY The intestinal flora is also known as our second immune system. A properly functioning digestive system can not only contribute to an improved nutrient absorption, but also enhance the microbiome of the gut.

Colon-Hydro-Therapy can regenerate parts of the large intestine by flushing out harmful bacteria and yeast fungi. This can have a healing effect on the overall digestive tract.

15 16 THYMUS THERAPY The development of cancer can be related to an immune defect. Thymus extract injections can activate and balance the body’s BODYWORK immune system. This is known as immune modulation. It is very different from simply boosting the immune system. Our team recognizes the importance of addressing the emotional trauma with patients suffering from chronic The goal of immune modulation is to establish a healthy immune cell disease or cancer. Trauma left unresolved can impact your ratio, rather than just producing more immune cells. In nature, the healing and prevent your body from reaching a state of thymus gland plays a key role in cellular immune modulation. When homeostasis. we age, the thymus gland naturally loses its potency. Supporting its function can reverse the biological age and provide more immune Bodywork at Infusio is a combination of osteopathic stamina. treatments designed to improve metabolism and reduce stress levels and trauma to the body. The body’s own perception and inner balance are increased by skillful touch, passive movements and gentle mobilization of the joints and connective tissue. Deep-seated tension and internal stress are released, and the healing powers of the body are stimulated. DIAGNOSTICS To monitor the treatment progress and the cancer behavior, we generally use tumor markers, where possible, combined with traditional blood parameters. Ultrasound MRI, CT and X-Ray imaging can also be performed, if necessary.

When treating cancer as an immune disease, additional parameters and specialty laboratories are utilized to assess the immune status. Other cancers may be hormone related, in which case, an endocrinological evaluation may be needed. Additionally, we use the Global Diagnostics system to measure electromagnetic frequency patterns to assess how the body is responding to therapy.

As a result, cytotoxic agents are distributed more of hypoxia. widely and are absorbed more easily by the tumor cells. Since the tumor tissue has already become more sensitive due to the heat, is more effective as well.

Cancer cells are sensitive to heat. The temperature regulation in tumor tissue tends to be poor. Also, as tumor tissue is much more dense than normal tissue, it heats up much faster. As a consequence, temperatures around 43°C sometimes also occur in the tumor. Over the course of one hour, such temperatures have the power to cause damage to the tumor and trigger cancer cell death.

19 20 DENDRITIC CELL THERAPY

Dendritic cells are found in the bloodstream and are responsible for identifying threats which the body’s immune system needs to respond to.

When cancer develops in the body, dendritic cells work as antigen presenters for the immune system, ultimately making cancer visible for the killer cells. These immune cells then attack the cancer and cause cancer cells to die off. By concentrating your body’s dendritic cells, sensitizing them to your specific cancer, and then reintroducing those cells into your system, the ‘trained’ cells can boost your body’s capacity to work against the cancer.

The goal is to have your specific cancer battled by your own enhanced or boosted self-immunity—a tailored cancer treatment vaccine. Combining this therapy with immune modulation treatments that increase the amount of immune cells THE RESEARCH STEP 1 A simple blood draw is performed A customized cancer vaccination with dendritic cells presents STEP 2 In the laboratory, monocyte cells are filtered out and exposed to specific growth a promising form of immunotherapy. Studies with over 4,500 patients treated with dendritic cells have been published.

STEP 3 The dendritic cells are then “primed” by being exposed to specific cancer antigens. By 2018, a total of 1,400 cases of Melanoma patients treated with dendritic cells were documented. In addition to that, 900 case reports of patients with urologic tumors, intestinal tumors, STEP 4 After 7 days in the laboratory the trained and concentrated dendritic cells will brain tumors, breast cancer, lung cancer and various hematology be administered back to the patient through a simple injection or infusion. cases were documented.
