Book Title: KNOCKOUT: Interviews with Doctors Who Are Curing Cancer. Author: SUZANNE SOMERS ISBN: 978-0-307-58759-6 Softcover, Price of Book $15.00

Review: This book was first published in October 2009, and it was Number One on the New York Times Bestseller list. The author is an American celebrity and author, who wrote several books on various health issues. At the present time, this book is one of the best books on non-toxic alternative treatments for cancer. The author discusses several non-toxic healing therapies for cancer. The main theme of this book is “curing cancer without toxicity.” See the author interviewed on Television CBS Early Show at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQicB_7KNL8 To read sample pages of this book see: http://tinyurl.com/l8hkx26 Or: http://books.google.com -enter title: Knockout. In chapter 1 of the book, the author tells you about her outrageous stressful saga, when she was brought by her husband to a hospital emergency room, her body covered from head to toe with welts and a terrible rash all over her body. She was gasping for air as she could not breathe. Overall, she was in utmost physical distress. After stabilizing her somewhat, she gets a CAT scan and is told by the hospital oncologist that she has cancer in her lungs, liver, chest, and a blood clot, and pneumonia. See the author tell her story at: http://tinyurl.com/cyxchc3

They tell her they will start her on chemo drugs immediately, but she refuses all chemo drugs, saying it will only poison her body even more. All along, she insists that she was either poisoned or had a terrible allergic reaction to something. The doctors refuse to accept that. But she “knows” it is not cancer. Having prior knowledge of chemo drugs from her battle with breast cancer, several years before that, she refuses all chemo drugs. She told the doctors that even if she did have cancer, she would treat it her own way with her own doctors, and with a non-toxic approach. Her reasoning is, if she has cancer, why add toxic poisonous chemical chemo drugs to an already weakened body.

The saga and trauma she suffered in the hospital, challenges the human mind. On day 4 in the hospital, the doctors tell her, she does not have cancer, but that she has either: tuberculosis, or leprosy, or valley fever (coccidiomycosis).

All of those were false, but the hospital put her into an isolation room. She then sent an email to a doctor she knew, Dr. Jonathan Wright, M.D., who emailed her back, “you gotta get out of there” (page 14). Determined to get out of the hospital, she is released with some five thousand dollars worth of medicine (page 15), and again emails Dr. Jonathan Wright, who tells her not to take those medicines. The author writes that she was fortunate, because she had prior knowledge of alternative medicine, but feels bad for the average Mr. and Mrs. Citizen who, had they been in the same situation, would probably not even question the false diagnosis and would take all the chemo drugs as prescribed. Jonathan Wright, M.D. www.TahomaClinic.com -Newsletter is at: http://www.anh-usa.org/microsite/green-medicine/

To gain a better understanding of the author’s viewpoints, several Video clips and Website Links are included in this review. See Video of an interview with the author at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cH-ZHkNGYOg -Expresses her core beliefs about cancer research, and cancer therapy.

Note: There are some 150,000 ERROR cancer diagnosis in America every year. This means, 150,000 people are told by their doctor, they have cancer and in truth, they do NOT have cancer. Second, and Third and even Fourth opinions, make much sense. Search at: www.Google.com -Search terms: false positive cancer diagnosis. For examples of error cancer diagnosis see: http://tinyurl.com/mdozamd Concerning errors in cancer diagnosis, the wife of a health care professional, was told by her doctor that she has cancer. She immediately called her husband, and he contacted a colleague radiologist he knew. By just looking at the X-ray, the radiologist told the husband, that the spot on the X-ray is the finger of the technician who developed the film. Imagine, without her husband, she would have been started on chemo or radiation, and that itself, would have made her sick. This episode was related by the husband on the radio. See also: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16216029

If you study the subject of “Placebo” and how strong its effects can be, there is a probable chance that the wife would develop every symptom a real cancer patient has, and they would be TRUE symptoms. Such is the strength of the human mind and emotions. Due to the 150,000 error cancer diagnosis per each year, it could be said that all cancer tests and diagnosis, must be confirmed three different times by three different independent doctors. You may be one of those 150,000 people. You never know. See page 167 in this Review Journal, for more on erroneous cancer diagnosis.

On page 269 of this book, the author writes that when she was in the hospital, she was told by six different doctors that she has full body cancer. All six doctors were wrong. In Chapter 2, the author introduces you to three doctors who endeavor to avoid prescribing toxic medicines, and who practice integrative / complementary medicine.

Chapter 3 discusses the enormous amounts of money involved in the chemo drugs industry, and criticizes the FDA.

Chapter 4 is titled: If it Could Happen to Me, What Will Happen to You ? The author writes more about her error diagnosis, and how the death sentence given to her by the doctors in the hospital, tore her core apart, and why a different path such as alternative non-toxic cancer treatments merit consideration.

In Chapter 5, the author criticizes the over consumption of Omega-6 oils, such as: sunflower, safflower, corn, peanut, vegetable and canola oils. The healthier Omega-3 oils are far better, such as: olive oil, coconut oil, and flaxseed oil. MSG is another contributor to unhealthy food preparation. Health problems are also caused by artificial sweeteners, preservatives, food coloring, flavorings, and other man-made gimmicks added to various manufactured processed foods. Chapter 6 contains 13 pages and some 44 questions (and comments), which the author asked and discussed with Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D, author of several excellent books on cancer. Dr. Moss says that there is an unfair standard applied when the FDA evaluates alternative cancer therapies. The standards set for conventional therapies are allowed to be “altered and modified,” whereas when the FDA evaluates alternative cancer therapies, they apply more stringent and unfair standards. For a prime example of this massive bias, see page 51 in this book, regarding Avastin, formerly approved for brain and breast cancer. For negative news on Avastin see page 123 in this Review.

Another example is, Gemzar approved for pancreatic cancer. He also says that each person and their specific cancer, has to be evaluated on an individual basis. Note: Oncologists commonly give specific chemo drugs for specific cancers, and ignore Chemo-sensitivity Testing.

See pages 184 - 208 in this Review, for detailed information on Chemo-sensitivity Testing. You will see references to Websites such as: www.WeisenthalCancer.com & www.CancerTest.org & www.rational-t.com

In discussing the chemo drug Adriamycin, Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D tells the author, that according to a study published in The Journal of the National Cancer Institute, “Adriamycin is ineffective in up to 92 percent of women to whom it was given” (page 48). The big question is, how did it ever get through the F.D.A. “approval process” ? For terrible problems in the FDA drug approval process see: http://tinyurl.com/cnzawac & http://tinyurl.com/d7mlphc

While people may express shock, it should come as no surprise to anyone. Consider the following comments by the illustrious Marcia Angell, M.D., a former editor of the prestigious medical journal, The New England Journal of Medicine, and author of book title: The Truth About The Drug Companies: How They Deceive Us And What To Do About It. (ISBN: 0-375-50846-5, Hardcover, $24.95. Note: The Softcover edition has ISBN: 0-375-76094-6, and is listed at $15.95) The following is quoted from the dust jacket cover of the hardcover edition. “Drug companies have substantial control over clinical trials of their drugs. There is good reason to believe that much of the company supported research on prescription drugs is biased as a result.” Another quote “The pharmaceutical industry has an iron-grip on Congress and the White House. It has the largest lobby in Washington - with more than there are elected representatives in Congress…” See also Michael Pagano, Ph.D http://tinyurl.com/c3g5lu8 & http://tinyurl.com/nlxgzv

On page 198 in her book, Dr. Marcia Angell writes, that in 1992 there were 675 lobbyists in Washington with salaries or fees amounting to a total of more than 91 million dollars. Also in 1992, the pharmaceutical trade association known as PhRMA had 120 employees with a budget of 14 million dollars, of the 91 million mentioned. Of these 675 lobbyists, 26 were former members of Congress and 342 of them, were either previously congressional staff members or somehow connected to government. See also: http://tinyurl.com/ayz3xbx -and- http://tinyurl.com/bctl5vu -and- http://tinyurl.com/ax6lqko See Dr. Angell’s comment at: http://tinyurl.com/aqwgdy See also: http://tinyurl.com/ad6fr2a See Dr. Marcia Angell’s highly educational speech at: http://videos.med.wisc.edu/videos/940 -as she presents the facts.

It is fair to say there is more honesty in any baseball, football, or hockey game, because it is played openly in front of thousands of people and you cannot lobby the Umpires (Judges). Whereas, with pharmaceutical companies, everything happens behind closed doors. So the average Mr. and Mrs. Innocent Citizen and their children, are hoodwinked and put over the barrel for a solid merciless whipping for greed, money, and nonsense. Furthermore, the money involved in the chemo drug industry is in the billions of dollars. For chemo drugs administered in a doctor’s office or his / her clinic, the money profit factor can (usually does ?) pass down to the doctor, who has a financial interest in the chemo drugs they give to their patients. Consider, a doctor has four ways to earn big money when prescribing chemo drugs. The following four items are from this book title: Knockout, pages 53 – 54. Author interview of, Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D.

1). The doctor bills the insurance company for the office visit (consultation fee), and for the chemo drugs administered.

2). He buys the chemo drugs wholesale and sells it to the patient (paid by the insurance company) at a retail markup.

3). The drug companies run “monthly special sales” for specific chemo drugs. So in that month, the doctor prescribes the chemo drugs bought at the special discount.

4). The doctor receives a fee from the chemo drug company, to lecture or give a presentation about a specific chemo drug, and is compensated handsomely by the drug company. (One wishes the above was not true, but sadly it is.)

Dr. Evan S. Levine, M.D. in his book titled: What Your Doctor Won’t (or Can’t) Tell You: The Failures of American Medicine – and How to Avoid Becoming A Statistic (ISBN: 0-425-20008-6, Softcover, $14.00), writes about this same corruption. On page 117, Dr. Levine writes “Oncologists are given a special privilege: they can not only order drugs, specifically chemotherapy drugs, but they can also dispense and bill for them…” He writes that the Oncologist can bill with a multiple markup of the original cost of the Chemo drugs. For a video clip of Dr. Evan Levine on the MSNBC television Today Show, see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63cWvtGPonU See also: http://weisenthalcancer.com/Professionals.html -Scroll down to the last 2 paragraphs of Dr. Weisenthal’s comments, beneath the paragraph header “Disclosure.” See also video clip, September 21, 2006, NBC Nightly News at: http://tinyurl.com/8w2sdpt See also incorrect treatment due to financial incentives, at: http://tinyurl.com/barjwse -See also Abstract in JAMA Internal Medicine: http://tinyurl.com/hxhz5ce

All the money tied into chemo drugs, doctors, and hospitals, corrupts the motive and objectivity to examine natural non-toxic healing methods. Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D is a leading advocate for “objective evaluation” of all cancer therapies, regardless of the name by which they are called, be it any of the various names: conventional, alternative, complementary / integrative. The Website of Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D is at: www.CancerDecisions.com

Among the various cancers he treats, the most consistent successes are with: brain, head and neck, prostate, breast, lungs, ovaries, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and colon. By year 2009, the FDA had approved 25 different gene-targeted drugs, Dr. Burzynski's Antineoplastons work on some 100 different cancer genes (page 65). This is four times more than the conventional 25 gene-targeted drugs mentioned earlier in this book. In other words, the 25 different gene-targeted drugs can work at a maximum, on 25 different cancer genes. Whereas, Dr. Burzynski's Antineoplastons can work on some 100 different cancer genes, plus the great added benefit that Dr. Burzynski's Antineoplastons are non-toxic, and will not poison any healthy cells in the person's body. No Hospitalization is required. (Note: In 2011, the number of FDA approved gene-targeted drugs increased to approximately 30 different drugs.)

When treating any person with Antineoplastons, the effectiveness and success of Burzynski's Antineoplastons depends on the individual patient's cancer genes. If the patient's cancer genes match to any of Burzynski's pool of 100 Antineoplastons cancer genes, then his Antineoplastons should be effective. If the individual person's cancer gene(s) do not match with any of Burzynski's 100 different Antineoplastons, the person is given a blood test and based on the results, is given between 4 and 6 different gene-targeted drugs, selected from the generally available gene-targeted conventional FDA approved cancer drugs. Dr. Burzynski says that when using this method, he has an 85 percent response rate (page 66). So the treatment is personalized on an individual basis as much as possible. For gene-targeted therapy & off-label drugs see: http://www.burzynskimovie.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=126 Some 20 percent of all drugs prescribed are prescribed as “off-label,” see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-label_use

Concerning the BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutated breast cancer genes found in several populations Worldwide, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BRCA1 -and- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BRCA2 Dr. Burzynski's Antineoplastons have a better chance of being effective on these genes. Whereas conventional medicine has no cure for these mutated cancer genes (page 66). For a BRAC Analysis Test see: http://www.bracnow.com/

*** Chapter 8 contains an interview with Nicholas Gonzalez, M.D. His therapy is discussed on pages 63 - 66, in this Review under the heading of Pancreatic Cancer. See clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQicB_7KNL8 where the author says, Dr. Gonzalez gave her the names of 10 patients with Pancreatic cancer Stage 4, with 10 years survival.

Chapter 9 contains an interview with Dr. James Forsythe, M.D. Due to current laws, when a cancer patient comes to Dr. Forsythe, he must first offer, standard conventional chemo / radiation services. Only after they tell him, that they refuse conventional standard treatments, can he offer the patient his protocols (page 126).

On page 123 in this book, Dr. Forsythe quotes an article from the journal, Clinical Oncology, (ISSN: 0936-6555. December 2004 issue, Volume 16, Number 8, Pages 549-560.) that people taking only cytotoxic chemo drugs by itself, have a 2.1 percent chance of surviving after five years. This article refers to 22 major adult malignancies in advanced stages, and the 2.1 percent refers to the estimate in the USA. In Australia it is 2.3 percent. The Article is titled: The Contribution of Cytotoxic Chemotherapy to 5-year Survival in Adult Malignancies. Authors: Graeme Morgan, Robyn Ward, Michael Barton. (The article contains 110 References.) The Abstract is available at Website: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15630849 = Bibliography: Clin Oncol (R Coll Radiol). 2004 Dec;16(8):549-60. For radiation versus chemo, see Dr. Graeme Morgan’s viewpoint where he favors radiation: http://tinyurl.com/3pdadle For more on Dr. Graeme Morgan’s article, see: http://tinyurl.com/bg4qyk5 -and- http://tinyurl.com/am9ozbl (Regarding the topic of radiation see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton_therapy -For more information see page 338.) Dr. L. R. Mileshkin, M.D. et al, criticized this article saying: if Leukemias, Burkitt’s lymphoma, and T-cell lymphomas, were included, the numbers would be higher. However, the article and data remains valid, and has never been disproven. Dr. L. R. Mileshkin’s Letter, Bibliography citation information is at: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15997929

Dr. Forsythe says, he sometimes uses Insulin Potentiation Therapy together with low-dose chemotherapy. The chemo drug toxicity is less, when given with Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT). For more on IPT, see page 102 in this Review. Another therapy used by Dr. Forsythe is a Homeopathic remedy called Salicinium, also known as “Chinese Aspirin.” The chemical within Salicinium is, glycol-benzaldehyde, and he claims he has records of 350 patients, all with Stage 4 cancer, who are doing quite well after four years on Salicinium. For prostate cancer patients, he has an 85 percent response rate, and his breast cancer patients responded quite well too. For more information on Salicinium, see Website: http://salicinium.com/ The Salicinium used by Dr. Forsythe was first discovered by a professor of chemistry and is marketed by, Perfect Balance Company. Diet is also a big factor, and there are certain restrictions which his patients must observe. Before giving chemo drugs, Dr. Forsythe uses a blood test to do a chemosensitivity test. This test will let him know which specific chemo drug(s) will work most effectively for that individual person.

His opinion is, that a patient should not succumb to a negative prognosis from an oncologist, but rather get a second opinion from an alternative doctor. (The power of your beliefs are rather enormous. See review of book titled: You Don’t Have to Die From Cancer, by Abraham Khazam, M.D. on page 154 in this Review, for a very valuable message. See also book titled: Head First: The Biology of Hope and The Healing Power of the Human Spirit, on page 305 in this Review.) Dr. Forsythe encourages diet changes, stress reduction, exercise - even if it is mild exercise.

At the end of this chapter, three patients treated by Dr. Forsythe tell their own story, about their personal experience they had with Dr. Forsythe’s approach. First, is a woman with Stage IV breast cancer. The second, is a man with Stage IV prostate cancer (originally diagnosed in 1996 with a PSA of 71.5). The third, is a woman with a large cell carcinoma lung cancer Stage IV, surviving as of the writing of this book, for some nine years. When first diagnosed, she was told by her conventional oncologist, that she has six months to live.

CTC – Circulating Tumor Cells Blood Test. See Dr. Forsythe at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuz7vPDkDEA This test is a Chemo Sensitivity Test via Blood. The CTC test requires only a blood sample of the person. However, Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D in his book titled: Customized Cancer Treatment, (ISBN: 978-1-881025-01-6, on pages 185-199), is critical of using a person’s blood to do Chemo Sensitivity Testing. Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D claims that live tissue obtained via biopsy yields more accurate results. (The review of this book appears on page 185 in this Review Journal.)

Important: Before a person has a biopsy, they should contact the various Laboratories and ask if the CTC = Circulating Tumor Cells Blood Test, has been perfected for Solid Tumors. Perhaps a biopsy can be avoided. Note: Some doctors use the above Greek Lab Test, to check if and which cancer cells exist in the blood of the person.

Dr. Forsythe and Poly-MVA. Dr. Forsythe is conducting research and a clinical trial of Poly-MVA, a nutritional supplement. His results with some Stage IV lung cancers and other cancers are significant. In some cases, complete and partial remissions were obtained. Stephen Sinatra, M.D., a famous cardiologist and author of several books, praised Dr. James Forsythe and Poly-MVA in his monthly newsletter titled: Heart, Health & Nutrition (ISSN: 1533-9041) October 2005 issue, Pages 6, 7, and 8.

Chapter 10 contains an interview with Dr. Julie Taguchi, M.D. A mainstream conventional oncologist, who is conducting a study of 55 women (out of 100+) who choose to use Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement, instead of chemo drugs, to prevent recurrence of their breast cancer. Six out of the 55 women developed more cancer and required other treatments. See also page 25 in this book about this study. Dr. Julie Taguchi is the author’s personal oncologist.

Chapter 11 contains an interview with Dr. Russell Blaylock, M.D., who places great emphasis on nutrition. He also talks about DCIS = (Ductal Carcinoma In-Situ) and he says that “in most cases this never metastasizes, never invades” (page 149). However, it must be said that in reality, it is still in the category of a “risk.” -For a DCIS test, see: http://www.oncotypedx.com/ - Search for DCIS test. See also: http://tinyurl.com/b389mkz For women talking about DCIS, search at: www.Inspire.com -Search Two different ways: (1). DCIS. (2). Ductal carcinoma in situ.

Blaylock also talks about the radiation absorbed when getting a mammogram, especially by women who have a mutation in their gene, BRCA1 or BRCA2, which then causes their body to be unable to repair the radiation absorbed when getting a mammogram. He claims that most doctors doing mammograms do not understand “radiation biology.” This is a double trap for women who have a family history of breast cancer, –who are told, to have frequent mammograms, and the mammogram itself is what brings about an aggressive cancer later on. –See also Page 372 in this Review. Blaylock says there is a controversy among Oncologists whether breast cancer DCIS = Ductal Carcinoma In-Situ would spread or not spread. The same applies to prostate cancer. Yet in Blaylock’s opinion, these cancers are over treated with: chemo, surgery, and radiation. Regarding prostate cancer, “watchful waiting” is a controversial matter. For more on Prostate cancer and Watchful Waiting, see page 367, and for more on DCIS, see page 374 in this Review. Blaylock is opposed to eating soy as a health food, and says it actually stimulates Aromatose, which is a bad thing for cancer patients. See page 160 in the book as to which foods are highly desirable, and what not to eat.

On the subject of radiation see the following. Regarding X-rays and Mammograms, John W. Gofman, M.D., Ph.D (Ph.D. in Nuclear-Physical Chemistry and he was a Medical Doctor.) claimed that modern X-rays are the cause of 75 percent of breast cancers. This is a stunning claim. Dr. Gofman’s book titled: Preventing Breast Cancer, is available at: http://www.ratical.org/radiation/CNR/PBC/contents.html -See Table of Contents and link to any Chapter.

Dr. Blaylock thinks, an MRI or Thermography are better choices than a mammogram. He maintains that in cases where breast cancer is present, it should be removed with a lumpectomy, but no radiation and no chemo should be used. After the lumpectomy, the person should treat it with nutrition. Note, nutrition is not as simple as it sounds, because it means staying away from all junk foods and being fully committed to a vigorous healthy nutritional program and lifestyle. For breast cancer screening with Thermography and the claimed science behind it, search at www.Google.com -Search terms: Thermography + Breast screening. However, the FDA is opposed to Thermography. Search also terms: Breast Thermography + Criticism. You have to read both sides: the for, and against Thermography.

Dr. Blaylock says that as people age, the best cancer prevention is by taking Vitamin D3, and that with good nutrition, a tumor will become benign (inactive). Good nutrition also means no sugar and no artificial sweeteners and all other junk. For more information on Vitamin D3 see: www.vitamindcouncil.org

Dr. Blaylock also says, when the body develops resistance to chemo drugs, it can be reversed by natural supplements, such as, indole-3-carbinol, turmeric and flavonoids. For Indole-3-carbinol + cancer, see: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=indole-3-carbinol+%2B+cancer -For the science behind indole-3-carbinol, see: http://www.dimfaq.com/ See also Website: http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/infocenter/phytochemicals/i3c/

Book Title: YOU DON’T HAVE TO DIE FROM CANCER -TAKING ACTIVE CHARGE Author: ABRAHAM KHAZAM, M.D. ISBN: 0-85572-266-5 Softcover, Price of Book $14.95

Review: Dr. Khazam studied medicine in Holland. Later he moved to Australia where he wrote this profound book. Being a psychiatrist, he maintains that cancer works itself up to become an emotional deadly disease, where the toxic emotions of the patient do more harm to the person, than the cancer itself, because the emotions become so toxic and vicious like an hypnotic instruction to die. Dr. Khazam claims that it is a psychogenic death (Psychogenic = stemming from the emotional mind.) similar to a voodoo death. In cases where the patient dies, it is also because the person has been so demoralized because they “believe” they will die, even if medically they can actually survive and live, which then becomes so overpowering, similar to combat fatigue. (Combat fatigue means: the soldier is dead tired and exhausted and simply chooses to give up by surrendering, rather than keep on fighting.)

This book contains four parts. Part One is titled: The Diagnosis, and is divided into four chapters covering the following topics: How and why the stress of being diagnosed with cancer affects the body, particularly when a doctor tells a patient that the diagnosis is cancer and the patient then asks the doctor “How long do you think I have, Doctor ?” and the doctor answers “You have six months” (Both, the question and the Doctor’s answer ARE THE DEATH Sentence. Herein lies the devil itself !)

The author maintains that by asking such a question, it means the person has accepted a death sentence and now the rest is only a negotiation, -the person is only “bargaining for time !” How many weeks or months etc.,! But the death sentence is already an “emotionally established fact” in the person’s mind. The result of this great mistake is the actual cause of many unnecessary deaths, perhaps even more than the cancer itself –which would not kill the patient. (Back to the patient: If you make your doctor into a god You have a false god, and not a doctor.) In the words of the author “What I am saying is this: you don’t have to die from cancer…The death becomes almost a certainty, because Mr. TCF = (Typical Cancer Patient) keeps actively working on it until it takes effect. And he does not even know this, because it takes place in his emotional mind” (Page 31). Dr. Khazam deserves credit for bringing this important life issue to the fore, and as a Psychiatrist he knows from whence he speaks. – Indeed PROFOUND. (In contrast, see page 306 in this Review for research and information regarding cancer remissions.)

Additional chapters in Part One include: The Demoralized patient goes home and Battles Fatigue, in which the author, as a Psychiatrist, points to the utterly destroyed, unmet, untreated, emotional mental state of the patient and the conflicts and problems which may arise with close family members and loved ones. Can life remain normal after diagnosis ?

In Part Two of this book, the author discusses the biology of cancer, and the biology of stress, and how stress weakens the body, and then how stress weakens the immune system and the entire human body.

Part Three of this book is titled: The Psychology of Cancer, in which the author presents his viewpoints very clearly, such as, when a person feels hopelessly trapped without seeing any light at the end of the tunnel. This hopelessness will affect the person biologically and not only mentally or emotionally. The author writes that Hope is not a psychological luxury, but rather it is a basic ingredient of emotional health.

Part Four of this book is titled: Healing, and it contains 18 chapters. The author writes that people with cancer who do better, are usually those who possess the following personality traits:

1). They adopt and maintain a fighting spirit.

2). Are able to verbalize and express their hostility and anger when other people bother them. Being the perpetual “nice person”, and swallowing everything, from everyone every time is not healthy. 3). They have low levels of anxiety and depression. -See also Dr. Gonzalez talk about the great enemy = anxiety, at: http://tinyurl.com/pql523c –Scroll to 28:00 in the video. = Profound Concept & Great Message.

Basically, according to Dr. Khazam, doctors who pronounce “death sentences” while they think they are telling their patients “objective truth” are actually inducing their patients to die. This is a legal problem because it is illegal for a doctor not to tell their patient that they have a terminal medical condition. This is a legal, ethical and moral problem that deserves an amicable legal, ethical and moral solution. The following are four interesting items regarding the above mentioned issue, whether a doctor should or must tell a person that they are expected to die “statistically or actually.”

1). In an article in The Lancet, 1998 Oct 3;352(9134):1153. Hassn AMF, and Hassan A. Article titled: Do We Always Need to Tell Patients the Truth ? They wrote that in their opinion "the wish of patients to know the whole truth about their illness does not mean that it is right for them... on the contrary, it harms many of them." For more on this article, see Website: http://www.drsimone.com/report.htm#truth

2). In a survey conducted by the President’s Commission and released in 1982, the survey found that 96 percent of Americans actually wanted to be told if they had cancer and 85 percent of Americans actually also wanted to know how long they would live, if their cancer usually led to death in less than a year. Source: President’s Commission for the Study of Ethical Problems in Medicine. Making Health Care Decisions. 1982; 2: 245-246.

3). In a court case regarding a patient who had pancreatic cancer, who had surgery and afterwards, radiation and experimental chemo drugs, and had visited his Oncologist(s) some 70 times and never asked about his chances for recovery. Statistically, this person had a five percent chance for a five year survival but actually passed away earlier, because the cancer returned and the doctors did not tell him that they expected him to pass away within a few months. They did not tell him about this because they did not want to take away his hope. The wife claimed that had he known, he would have refused the experimental chemo drugs and would have put his affairs in order. She sued his doctors claiming that under California law, the doctors were obligated to tell her husband about the survival statistics and also to ask for his consent to be given the experimental chemo drugs. The doctors claimed that had the patient been told, he would lose all hope and that in itself would have caused immense damage to him. (See survey conducted in Australia, regarding telling a patient about unaffordable anticancer drugs, at: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19786663 )

At first, a lower court ruled in favor of the doctors. Upon appeal by the wife, the California Supreme Court ruled in favor of the wife, because the doctrine of informed consent is based upon four principles:

A). Patients are generally ignorant of medicine and therefore must be told all of their options. B). Patients have an inherent right over their bodies, to decide as they deem fit or as they wish. C). Informed consent is required for all medical procedures. D). Patients inherently rely on their doctors to give them accurate and truthful information, and have no other option but to rely on them, thereby making the doctor-patient relationship a relationship of trust. (The relationship is fiduciary.) Therefore, the doctor remains obligated to fully disclose and tell everything to the patient, and this is called Informed Consent.

Source: Court case of; Arato versus Avedon. 5 Cal 4th 1172, 23 Cal Rptr. 1993. 2D. 131, 858P. 2D 598. For details of this court ruling see: http://law.justia.com/cases/california/cal4th/5/1172.html

4). To paraphrase an angry family member, of a person who was told by their Oncologist that they were going to die, and actually did pass away, remarked that “the doctor(s) who invented the word ‘terminal’ will never get out of hell” for causing discouragement. A wise amicable humane legal solution should be found for this problem.

Returning now to Dr. Khazam’s book, Dr. Khazam writes “The TCP = (The Typical Cancer Patient) must be relieved of the voodoo curse that has captured and occupied his emotional mind.” It is worthwhile to ponder and reflect on the significance of Dr. Khazam’s words.

Chapter 16 is titled: Healing From The Psychological Cancer. Additional topics discussed in this book include: Convincing the mind that it can have an effect on the human body, Coming to realize that you yourself must be in control and that you should not surrender your life to doctors, Visualization and how to do effective visualization, General principles of healing, Relaxation, The theory behind visualization, Whether or not it is ethical to tell the “truth” to a patient which in effect will cause them great harm, And an explanation on how the mind can affect the body. In chapter 31 the author writes that stress promotes the growth of cancer (Page 285).

If you believe that you have bought into a death sentence from your doctor(s), this book will be of great help to you, - if you will de-program and undo the false emotional death message. You can use your strength, faith, courage, effort, and tenacity to help you de-program and undo the false emotional death message. Bear in mind that the author is also a medical doctor and a psychiatrist, who studied this subject thoroughly, and has a very important lifesaving message.

Article by Dr. Stephen Jay Gould, Ph.D. For a very encouraging article on cancer and statistics, and why it is wrong for doctors to give out death sentences, Dr. Gould asked “What does the average patient understand about median mortality of eight months ?” –Possibly nothing, and in fact probably misinterprets it as well, and if it is true that belief becomes biology, meaning: your brain and its false belief system, actualize themselves into whatever you believe, even though it is factually wrong. This wrong belief can tragically cause premature death. That is why Dr. Stephen Jay Gould’s article is of such importance. Dr. Stephen Jay Gould, Ph.D, was a scholar in biology and taught at Harvard University. Read this article at Website: http://cancerguide.org/median_not_msg.html Title of article: The Median Isn’t The Message. This is a well written scientific scholarly article.

Dr. Gould exceeded his 8 months median survival time by some THIRTY TIMES. (30 x 8 months = 240 months, which equals Twenty Years.)

In a sobering comment made by Steve Dunn, founder of Website: www.CancerGuide.org he wrote that while he was ill, he tried to avoid reading statistics because of the inherent negative thinking it would encourage, and thus bring it into reality. Read his comments at: http://www.cancerguide.org/stats_home.html He suggested that a friend should read the statistical numbers if possible. The “educated wise” will protest and demand to “know the facts as they may be” but the consequences of this attitude may have grave consequences, because the person may actually talk themselves into an early grave. It is worthwhile to study and ponder the enormous power of the mind, both for positive and negative. To paraphrase Bernie Siegel, M.D., who told of a woman who was given a cancer death sentence by her doctor and survived. Later on, she called that doctor and asked “Where do I send the coffin ?”

Book Title: THE HEALING JOURNEY Author: ALASTAIR J. CUNNINGHAM, Ph.D ISBN: 1-55263-107-9 Softcover, Price of Book $14.95 (Published in Canada $19.95)

Review: The author, Alastair J. Cunningham, Ph.D is a senior scientist at the Ontario Cancer Institute and a professor of Medical Biophysics at the University of Toronto, clinical co-director of the Wellspring Centre and a member of the Institute for the Advancement of Health, and the Society for Behavioral Medicine. He has Ph.D degrees in cell biology and psychology, with over 35 years of experience in cancer-related research.

During the late 1980’s Dr. Cunningham developed cancer, and he proceeded to explore the various dimensions of psychology, by which the mind of the person can be empowered, so that the person can actively participate and help in their own healing. –IF they so choose to do so. See his Home page at: http://www.healingjourney.ca/

Dr. Cunningham comes from the mainstream conventional school of thought, but as a true scientist, kept an open mind with which he explored the further reaches of the human mind and how it may influence medicine and healing. This is an emerging field known also as, Psycho-Oncology, which is not limited to exact definitions at the present time.

Among the topics covered are: Reacting to the cancer diagnosis, The family reaction, Dealing with the diagnosis and starting to help yourself. The author maintains that it is up to the person themselves to decide how they will react and what actions they will take to further help themselves. In the last paragraph of Chapter 1, the author writes “that cancer, like everything else in our lives, has meaning. Some readers will already understand this, to others it may seem absurd, even offensive.” The author maintains that the healing journey in cancer, is finding greater meaning in your life. For free downloads of some of Dr. Cunningham’s works see: http://www.healingjourney.ca/resource.htm

Chapter 2 is titled: The Biology of Cancer, in which the author explains scientifically, how cancer grows into a tumor. In Chapter 3 the author discusses conventional treatments such as: chemo drugs, radiation, and surgery. In Chapter 4 the author presents a very enlightening and critical discussion on alternative cancer treatments, by logically arguing that “many are contradictory, they can’t all be valid; for example, diets based on cooked grains, and others insisting that all food must be consumed raw, are at loggerheads” (page 57). Furthermore, there is such a wide choice of alternative therapies and if any single one of them had been totally correct, all other alternative therapies would have (or should have) disappeared, because the truth would have finally come out. So why is there such a wide selection of alternative cancer therapies and there are no defined and proven therapies ?

The author is absolutely right in asking the above questions. And likewise, let the question be expanded to conventional chemo drugs. Why are there so many different possibilities in using different chemo drugs and their various combinations, for the same cancer ? Is the prescribing of chemo drugs a precise defined exact science or is there room for conjecture, hypothesis, assumption or speculation ?

Chemo drugs are very toxic and ought not be left to anything other than precise defined exact science. Chemo Sensitivity Testing is a viable option, and it is a scientifically validated method to help identify which specific Chemo drug(s) would be best suited, to destroy the individual person’s cancer. For detailed information on Chemo Sensitivity Testing see pages 184 - 208 in this Review Journal. However, few Oncologists advise their patients of this option. There is ample science in Chemosensitivity testing, yet it is ignored with an ignorance and an arrogance unbecoming to medicine and science.

Topics in Chapter 5 include: What you need to do in order to start healing from within yourself, A brief overview of the science of mind and cancer healing, Using your mind to help you in your fight against cancer, Why has Western Medicine not used psychological intervention as part of its mainstream approach to cancer treatment.

In Chapter 6, the author discusses the power of the human mind and how it can, and actually does affect the body of a person in a profound manner. Additional topics include, The role of willpower in self-healing, Getting active and taking personal responsibility for your health. Some people may resent this concept, because they feel that they have no self-power, for any one or more reasons. Perhaps one of them being the utter need, desire, and willingness to be a “helpless victim”

Chapter 9 is titled: Getting Connected, where several different levels of states of mind are discussed. Chapter 10 is titled: Healing as a Search for Meaning, where the author writes about “Does cancer have meaning ?” and How to get in touch with your own unique inner knowledge.

Towards the end of this book, there is an in depth discussion on how to Meditate, Relax, Do mental imagery, also more commonly known as, Visualization. Spirituality and Existentialism are also discussed.

Existentialism seeks to find meaning in life, amongst and within the chaos, pain and suffering which people endure in their personal lives. The author who is also a psychologist, attempts to define and explain existentialism in the psychological sense, with the explicit purpose to help you take control of your life and thereby help yourself.

Existentialism also speaks about the utter isolation and loneliness of each and every human being. Furthermore, where and how do you find meaning in life ? Where and how do you find lasting happiness ? Or is everything only a fleeting moment ? And wherein lies the essence of life ? This is a heavy philosophical question which can either cause you to ponder deeply on the meaning of your life, and possibly arrive at some treaty with a fair amount of satisfaction and happiness, or it can cause a person to become depressed. Ultimately, each person has to meet his/her Creator at the end of their life. Atheists are unable to come to terms with this vexing question which ceases not to vex, but does perplex. The author is a scientist by profession and even though in this book he discusses mind-body medicine, and how it relates to health and healing and Psycho-Oncology, he works and writes from within the framework of conventional psychology and medicine. Any person who wishes to use their “mind” to help themselves, may benefit from reading this book. More so, if you believe exclusively in conventional medicine, this book is for you. The author holds the following degrees: O.C., Ph.D., Ph.D., C.Psych.

This book is highly recommended. -For several Video clips of Wayne W. Dyer, Ph.D see: http://tinyurl.com/p6mr8va -and: http://tinyurl.com/gp9vy7u ======Book Title: YOUR ERRONEOUS ZONES Author: WAYNE W. DYER, Ph.D ISBN: 0-06-091976-0 Softcover, Price of Book $13.00

Review: This book does not discuss cancer. The late Dr. Wayne W. Dyer was a psychologist with a great gift of pen and is an excellent public speaker. Humorous and insightful, he presents his material in his own unique style. The author discusses numerous topics, which if understood and practiced, breeds good mental health.

Among the topics discussed are: Taking charge of yourself, Self-love, Not seeking approval from other people, Breaking free from the past, The useless emotions of guilt and worry, Exploring the unknown, The justice trap, Putting an end to procrastination, Declaring your independence, Farewell to anger, Portrait of a person without erroneous zones. This book is highly recommended. (Wayne W. Dyer passed away in August 2015.)

Important: Before a person worries themselves into fear and sickness with all kinds of anxieties, it is still worthwhile to do some “do it for yourself health changes.” Such as: Change of diet, No white sugar and No artificial sweeteners and No white flour in breads, cakes, and pastas. Use whole-wheat flour, (organic) brown rice, fresh (steamed) green vegetables, healthy vegetable salads with cold pressed olive oil, fresh fruits and melons, and other delicious healthy nutritious foods, Exercise, Meditation, Soft relaxing music, Reducing your level of stress, Avoiding your own burnout, General relaxation, Sitting in a pleasant garden if possible, Getting done with all pathological hatreds, jealousies, betrayals, resentments and angers, Forgiving your spouse, Your Ex, Your friends, including your future friends, your own children, the in-laws, the ex-in-laws, the future in-laws, your cousins, your parents, sister(s) and brother(s), your former boss, your current boss, and future boss, your step-father and/or step-mother, step brother(s) and sister(s), and everyone else, –if possible, and the entire baggage compartment ! This is the meaning of a toxic disposal. “When you dump it all, you are free of all” -Eskay. You can become clean and beautiful. Wherever, whenever, and however possible, give it all up and get a far higher spiritual richer kinder gentler better deal. You cannot buy this anywhere, it works only when you do it. The price is called forgiveness, and the reward is priceless. You can get better health and happiness when you give this gift to yourself.

Wayne W. Dyer, Ph.D addressed many core life issues with common sense, wonderful insights, and with a humorous approach. He gives you a good laugh at people’s follies including your own. There is no psychobabble in his speeches and lectures. If you think you got sick because your soul or emotions are not functioning on a healthy level, you may be able to start fixing it with Dr. Dyer’s books and audios.

Chemo Sensitivity Testing.

General Introduction to Chemosensitivity Testing.

There are many different Chemo Drugs, or combinations of Chemo Drugs used by Oncologists, when they treat cancer. (Sometimes they use only one Chemo Drug, and sometimes they use 2 or more Chemo Drugs together) The question arises, which specific Chemo Drug or combinations of Chemo Drugs should be used ? Most often they follow an established protocol, depending on the specific cancer and the stage of the cancer.

The idea and concept behind Chemo Sensitivity Testing, and Chemo Resistance Testing is that each person reacts differently to any Chemo Drug or combinations of Chemo Drugs.

Have you ever noticed that Person A is helped by a specific medicine whereas Person B is not helped at all by that same medicine ? Chemo Sensitivity Testing and Chemo Resistance Testing aims to test and find out in advance, before any Chemo Drug(s) are given, to test which specific Chemo Drug or Chemo Drugs combinations, did the best job in destroying the cancer, and which specific Chemo Drug(s) did not kill the cancer cells as efficiently as it should have.

A biopsy of the cancer tissue is taken by a doctor and sent to the laboratory, and the laboratory does the testing in the lab. For leukemia, if the blood has enough blast cells, then only the blood is required. If there are not enough blast cells in the blood, then bone marrow is also required. For Lymphomas, a specimen of the lymph node is required. For more on these tests see: Human Tumor Assay Journal, at:

Important: Before a person has a biopsy, they should contact the various Laboratories and ask if the CTC = Circulating Tumor Cells Blood Test, has been perfected for Solid Tumors. See criticism of CTC Test when used for Solid Tumors at: http://www.weisenthalcancer.com/FAQ.html -See Question & Answer 9.

For an English language explanation on how the blood test works see Biofocus Lab (http://www.biofocus.de/) Website at: http://www.biofocus.de/PDF/Onkologie/BF_111_Brochure_M-Oncology.pdf -Explains the blood test very well.

Book Title: CUSTOMIZED CANCER TREATMENT Author: RALPH W. MOSS, Ph.D ISBN: 978-1-881025-01-6 Softcover, Price of Book $19.95

Review:

This book is a major breakthrough in conventional cancer treatments which use chemo drugs. The author discusses Chemo Sensitivity Testing, which means you have the cancer tissue (or blood) tested, OUTSIDE the human body, and BEFORE taking the actual chemo drugs. For example, a biopsied cancerous tissue is divided into twelve petri lab dishes, with twelve different Chemo drugs (and/or Chemo drugs combinations) placed into these 12 different petri lab dishes. The laboratory now checks to see, which of the 12 Chemo drugs (or the chemo drug combinations) did the best job in destroying the cancer. Based upon which specific Chemo drug(s) did the best job, that specific Chemo drug is recommended for the patient.

Each person’s body is DIFFERENT in so many ways from another person’s body. Therefore, it is not wise to use a “one size fits all people” approach, but rather it is wise to Test per each person individually.

Another way to explain this is, each person has their own unique DNA, and each person has their personal individual fingerprints. Chemo Sensitivity Testing gives you the ability to “personalize” the chemo drug(s) best suited for you on a personalized basis. See book title: Biochemical Individuality, written by, Roger J. Williams, Ph.D. (1893-1988, His Ph.D was in Biochemistry.) This book was first published in 1956 and reprinted in 1998. (ISBN: 0-87983-893-0, Softcover, $19.95) Every person has their personal biochemical individuality.

Consider also, that there are many more, as yet unknown to science, random biological factors, which are specific to each individual person. Chemo Sensitivity Testing, at least gives you a chance to examine your possibilities in a far more intelligent and prudent manner. While no guarantees can be given for success, a person greatly increases their chance of success when testing in advance.

On page 25, the author discusses the history (including the bygone clonogenic method) of the various tests in the past. The current Testing method is based upon the concept of “which Chemo drugs are best able to destroy the cancer cells.”

The updated information on the current Tests available, begins on page 43, with a detailed explanation. On page 48, the author discusses Programmed Cell Death. See also page 52 for an explanation of the difference between Apoptosis, and Programmed cell death. According to the author, (PCD) Programmed Cell Death is the far better option.

The author mentions the various different names by which Programmed Cell Death is called. Names such as: Anoikis, Autophagic cell death, Cornification, Excitotoxicity, Oncosis, Paraptosis, Pyroptosis, Wallerian degeneration (page 52). The most popular and common name is, (PCD) - Programmed Cell Death.

It is noteworthy to quote Dr. Robert Nagourney’s definition of cancer. “Cancer does not grow too much; it dies too little” (page 44). See a highly educational speech by Dr. Nagourney at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAGhNhrHMJs Therefore, Dr. Nagourney aims to find the most effective “cancer killing chemo drug(s)” when he does chemo sensitivity testing in his laboratory. See how Dr. Nagourney explains it at: http://www.youtube.com/user/Nagourney See also his Homepage at; www.rationaltherapeutics.com/ See also Dr. Robert Nagourney’s new book titled: Outliving Cancer: The Better Smarter Way to Treat Your Cancer.

Dr. Larry Weisenthal is what one would call, a man of genius and dedication. He has performed many thousands of such tests, and being that he earned a Ph.D in Pharmacology, he understands chemo drugs on the level of their core essence. Add that to the fact that he is also an Oncologist, and you have a scholar scientists as well.

Chemo Sensitivity Testing for Several Types of Cancers. Starting on page 85, various cancers are discussed which benefit from Chemo Sensitivity Testing. Cancers discussed are:

1). Breast cancer (page 85). 2). MiCK Assay and Breast cancer (page 90). 3). Ovarian cancer (page 92). 4). The Loizzi study (page 96). 5). Portsmouth England -Randomized Clinical Trial of Ovarian cancer (page 98). 6). Ovarian cancer MiCK Assay (page 99). 7). Endometrial cancer MiCK Assay (page 101). 8). Non-small cell lung cancer (page 102). 9). Small cell lung cancer (page 106). 10). Malignant melanoma (page 109). 11). Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (page 112). 12). Pediatric ALL -Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (page 117). 13). Adult brain cancer (page 117). -Note: For brain cancers, see Dr. Burzynski, M.D. on pages 41-51 in this Review.

It should be pointed out, that if you are searching for Chemo Sensitivity Testing for a cancer not mentioned in this book, you should still contact Larry M. Weisenthal, M.D., Ph.D, or Robert Nagourney, M.D., or the other Laboratories which are mentioned in this book.

On page 119, the author discusses the advantages of doing a Chemo Sensitivity Test, and he includes the cost justification and benefit of the Test. Insurance companies would save a lot of money if they paid for Chemo Sensitivity Testing. They would spend money paying for the Test but would save a great amount of money afterwards.

On page 123, the author writes how Chemo Sensitivity Testing was made “unpopular” by several major medical publications. It is rather very sad that Chemo Sensitivity Testing has not been encouraged by the mainstream cancer establishment. It is not known if this negative attitude towards pre-testing chemo drugs, is caused by ignorance or arrogance, or for other reasons.

This type of behavior is unbecoming to any scientist or scholar who seeks the ultimate truth. Furthermore, it leads to the following question. Is it possible or probable, that drug companies do not like the idea of independent pre-chemo testing, lest some of their own chemo drugs, may be shown to be ineffective, in more cases than presently assumed by oncologists. Drug companies may fear that their Chemo drugs might get a bad name, if their Chemo drugs are shown to fail more often than presently assumed. To the drug companies, this may involve a loss of millions (billions ?) of dollars in sales. Hence they are opposed to chemo sensitivity testing. So their opposition filters down through the cancer establishment and gets a negative label. How sad indeed.

On page 156, the author writes about the “Off-Label Use” of new chemo drugs, which means: once a chemo drug is approved by the FDA, it can be prescribed for any cancer for which the doctor thinks it may be helpful. The problem with this approach is, the oncologist is throwing darts in the dark. No long-term studies are available, which studied that specific chemo drug, for the specific cancer it is being given. The author makes a strong case for doing the Chemosensitivity Test, which also eliminates the guess work of the “off-label use.” The test prevents blind or unfounded assumptions, and gives forth scientific data, at least as a starting point of rationale and scientific basis.

On page 161, the author discusses the inherent problem of inconclusive results, when relying on meta analyses studies. The author discusses the numerous chemo drugs used for non-small cell lung cancer. The National Cancer Institute, relied on meta-analyses to come to conclusions and recommendations, on which specific chemo drugs to use for non-small cell lung cancer. However, the conclusions reached are rather unreliable from a scientific point of view. Ralph W. Moss Ph.D claims that Chemosensitivity Testing eliminates a very considerable amount of guessing, when giving Chemo drugs. The evidence presented by the author is not given to any exaggeration. See Table 9 on page 166. The reader should be aware that this applies across the wide spectrum of just about all cancers, and not only for non-small cell lung cancer (page 171).

The original intent of meta-analyses studies is, to resolve differences which showed up among the individual studies. However, when combining all studies together, quite often they will give you more assumed (inconclusive) assumptions. See pages 161 – 169 for a detailed explanation and example how more confusion is brought about with meta-analyses studies. These “studies and conclusions” sow more seeds of uncertainty in the minds of oncologists, with the patients bearing the terrible consequences of guesswork.

On page 169, the author suggests that the opposition to Chemo Sensitivity Testing comes from the multi-billion dollar Clinical Trials industry.

The Money Profit Markup Factor. On page 173, the author writes about The Chemotherapy Concession, where much money is made by many Oncologists who give chemo drugs to their patients in their office. This raises serious moral ethical questions of, conflict of interest. This was not known to the public until 1999, when a doctor publicly complained that Medicare reduced his fees for a colonoscopy, from $400.00 to $108.00. This doctor said that the 2 oncologists working in his group, did not suffer any reduction of their fees for the chemo drugs they administered in the office. The media later publicized this scheme. See also: http://weisenthalcancer.com/Professionals.html -read the last two paragraphs of Dr. Weisenthal’s comments.

On page 180, the author writes about the 2010 Jacobson study, which showed that some Oncologists prescribed chemo drugs to their patients, based on the money they would earn from using a specific chemo drug. To call this a conflict of interest is an error. It is rather, a gross violation of the trust an innocent person places in their Oncologist.

The CTC test requires only a blood sample of the person. However, the author is critical of the CTC test for Solid Tumors, as explained in this book on pages 185-199. See also: http://www.weisenthalcancer.com/FAQ.html -Scroll to Question and Answer 9, to read the scientific criticism of relying on the CTC blood test for Solid Tumors.

On page 213, the author refers to the CTC Test as “hopeful speculation” and questions the reliability factor of the results obtained when doing the CTC Test. Whereas with live cell tissue biopsy, he says the test results are far more able to accurately predict results. However, Dr. James Forsythe, M.D. does use the CTC Blood Test as he explains it in his video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuz7vPDkDEA -See pages 20-22 in this Review for more on Dr. Forsythe.

If and when the CTC test can be enhanced and made better, it will be an enormous breakthrough, because it will only require a blood test and no biopsy would be necessary. Furthermore, if enough data is collected on the success rate of the people who used the CTC test, it will be a great accomplishment in providing proof of the efficacy of the CTC test. Check the Websites of these CTC testing laboratories, to see if new data is available on the CTC test.

This book contains 433 scientific scholarly references. In effect, the author is showing proof of the ideas and claims, made in this book. The Index contains 5 pages. This book is a goldmine for all cancer patients. If you wish to do the Test and you are discouraged by your Oncologist, read this book and check the reference sources, and reach your own conclusion. No one can love you more than you yourself can. Do not try to be a “nice person” and violate your belief system to make your doctor(s) happy. It is your life and you must love yourself the most you possibly can. -Always.

The one BIG QUESTION is, does having a biopsy cause the spread of cancer ? This is a serious question. Search at: www.Google.com/ -Search terms: “ Do biopsies cause spread of cancer ? ” If a person does their Chemo Sensitivity Test with a Blood Test, they avoid the Biopsy. Is the blood test accurate enough as of January 2012, or has it become more accurate since then ? Ask the Blood Testing Laboratories for the most recent updated available scientific data. See also: http://csn.cancer.org/node/145884 Important: Before a person has a biopsy, they should contact the various Laboratories and ask if the CTC = Circulating Tumor Cells Blood Test, has been perfected for use in Solid Tumors. Perhaps a biopsy can be avoided.

Note: Due to the fact that most cancer patients and their families are not aware of Chemosensitivity Testing. Furthermore, most patients are not even told about it, by their doctors. Therefore, it is deemed appropriate to include this little Bibliography here, to show you how much it is being researched Worldwide. Every patient has the right to make their own informed decisions about their health care based on newly available science. Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D in his book titled: Customized Cancer Treatment (ISBN: 978-1-881025-01-6. claims that Chemosensitivity Testing is discouraged by the lucrative money making Clinical Trials Industry. See page 169 in his book titled: Customized Cancer Treatment, where he discusses this issue in detail.

Scientific American Article and Pancreatic Cancer. In the Monthly Magazine, SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, February 1999 issue, Page 19 and continued on Page 22. See color photo on page 22 of this article. (A black & white photo does not provide that benefit.) Article title: In Focus: Prestesting Tumors. Written by Evelyn Strauss, Ph.D, this article is about a person who was “given” 3 months to live after being diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer. However, the person chose to do Chemo Sensitivity Testing by Dr. Larry Weisenthal, M.D., Ph.D and was in remission after two years. He was first diagnosed in January 1997 and given “an only 3 months to live sentence.” After his passing his wife said, he gained more than eight years of life.

Ovarian Cancer, Lung Cancer Late-Stage. Two separate cases were mentioned in the following article in The Wall Street Journal, September 14, 2004, Page D1, Article titled: Custom Chemo: Some Doctors Want It, But Key Panel Says Tests Aren’t Ready. Written by, Tara Parker-Pope. This article is available at Website: http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB109510580214316504

This Wall Street Journal article discusses Chemo-Sensitivity Testing and mentions a case of a Pathologist in Cincinnati Ohio, who had an aggressive form of Ovarian cancer. She sent two samples to two different labs for testing. Dr. Robert Nagourney’s laboratory (Website: www.rational-t.com/ ) made a recommendation that she should use different chemo drugs. After three weeks of treatment with the newly recommended chemo drugs by Dr. Robert Nagourney, M.D. Medical Oncologist, she was cancer free.

In another case, a 43 year old male with late-stage lung cancer, also had a test done and a year later was being treated for metastasis to the brain. -The test was done when he was in late-stage. The best time to do this test is BEFORE any chemo drugs are taken. But it can also be done after taking chemo drugs. This Wall Street Journal article also quotes an Oncologist named Dr. William Grace, a past president of the New York Cancer Society as saying “I wouldn’t feel ethical not using assay-directed therapy.”

William Grace, M.D. Oncologist and Hematologist, is in private practice in New York City. He is the former chief of cancer research and chief of medical oncology at St. Vincent’s Hospital in New York City. (This hospital closed in 2009.) He is also quoted as saying “Many of my colleagues, who don’t believe in this technology, essentially chemo patients to death." -Dr. William Grace. Furthermore, concerning Chemo Sensitivity Testing, Dr. William Grace, M.D. is quoted as saying “They are not foolproof, but they’re damn accurate.” Read this quote at the top of the page at Website: http://www.marniesfiction.com/science-behind.html See also Website: http://www.ratemds.com/doctor-ratings/636060/NY/New-York-City/Grace -and: http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,1221,0.htm

General Drug Efficacy.

It is significant to point out, that Allen Roses, M.D., a recognized scholar in Genetics, and a member of the faculty at Duke University for some 27 years, who was later appointed to the position of Vice President at the pharmaceutical giant, Glaxo Smith Kline (GSK) Company, in a speech he gave n Monday, December 8, 2003, in which he said that “the vast majority of drugs – more than 90 percent of the drugs - only work in 30 - 50 percent of the people.”

Dr. Allen Roses quoted from a study which found a profound variation (fluctuation) on how well cancer drugs worked. He is quoted as saying that sometimes they work only 25 percent of the time.

Dr. Allen Roses is also quoted in a book titled: Malignant Medical Myths: Why Medical Treatment Causes 200,000 Deaths in the USA Each Year, and How to Protect Yourself. Written by, Joel M. Kaufman, Ph.D. (ISBN: 0-7414-2909-8, Softcover, $24.95, 326 pages.) The author, Joel M.

This is another reason to consider doing a Chemo Sensitivity Test.

Dr. Roses claims that in the years to come, each person will be tested individually, to determine precisely which specific drugs will work best for that individual. This testing is referred to as: Pharmacogenetics = Personalized drug design based on an individual’s genetic make-up.

Based on the concept of the importance of individual genetic testing, before prescribing any drug for any person. The data of most, (if not all), of the present day, accumulated scientific data which was obtained from clinical trials, may be deemed biased, (or at least lacking scientific objective data) because of the unique individualized genetic predisposition of the individuals who participated in the original studies. The assumed objective “randomly assigned selection factor,” used commonly in clinical drug trials, will have had a bias, and hence, the results obtained from the drug trials were obtained under false premises, or at least called into question.

For example: Drug XYZ was tested in a randomly assigned double blind study of 5,000 people. Due to the fact that each of these 5,000 persons, had their own unique genetic predisposition to that XYZ drug. No definitive accurate conclusions could have been extracted from the study, because of the unknown bias which existed in the original clinical trial participants. Medicine may try to solve or remedy this bias, by arriving at some statistical formula or table, by which inferences would be made, or certain data would be extrapolated from the overall genetic database of a large sampling of people, which would be used to somehow reestablish the integrity of the data, or to cleanse the data from the previously unknown genetic bias. If this approach to clean the data is taken, some scientists may still refuse to accept the data, and would call for new clinical trials of many drugs. This is the task of scientists, to constantly question, examine, evaluate, and challenge the present-day accepted principles and to seek a higher level of accurate knowledge and integrity of all scientific data. To do otherwise is an error.

Warning: If you were put on any prescription medications, do NOT stop taking them without the advice, consent and guidance from a competent physician who can monitor your progress. It is an error (and perhaps insane) to take the words of Dr. Allen Roses, M.D. to mean that any person should stop taking their prescribed medications. If you wish, get second and third or fourth opinions from other doctors and have yourself monitored by a competent doctor. But do NOT go off any medications without advice, consent and guidance from a qualified experienced physician. You can get as many medical opinions as you desire. That is your right and obligation as well. But do not go off any medications until you receive advice and guidance from a competent medical doctor who knows and also understands your complete medical diagnosis and your personal medical situations and conditions.

In the Scientific American Magazine story, (February 1999 issue, Pages 19 and continued on Page 22) the person had pancreatic cancer and the test showed that for that specific person and that specific cancer, the chemo drug, gemcitabine -(Trade Name = Gemzar) was found to have the best chance for success. However, due to the fact that each person is different, testing chemo drugs appears to be a very prudent and wise idea, and perhaps life saving. Read article at Website: http://tinyurl.com/q9cwdb5

Blood Tests by Which Chemo Sensitivity Can Be Known in Advance of Taking Chemo Drugs.

The first two tests listed here, are tests done via a Blood test (and NOT via biopsy.) Testing via a blood test, is far less invasive than doing a biopsy.

Blood Test Verifies in Advance, if Hyperthermia Will be Effective. Another feature of the Research Genetic Cancer Centre, in Florina, Greece, is that included in the blood test results, they will let you know if your cells are responsive to specific: (HSP) = Heat Shock Proteins. By having this knowledge in advance, you gain the advantage of knowing in advance if Hyperthermia and the Chemo drugs given with Hyperthermia, will destroy your cancer cells. The Laboratory does not charge an extra fee for this. It is included with the overall cost of the Chemo Sensitivity test.

Important: Before a person has a biopsy, it is wise to call the various Laboratories to ask if the CTC = Circulating Tumor Cells Blood Test, has been perfected. You may be able to avoid a biopsy, which is an invasive procedure.

Pancreatic Cancer Example. This is a partial list of chemo drugs and their various combinations, which may be tested for use in pancreatic cancer. The chemo drugs listed here were taken at random, from six different pancreatic chemosensitivity tests. For a complete updated list of possible chemo drugs or chemo drug combinations, to be tested for any specific cancer, speak with your Oncologist and consult with Larry Weisenthal, M.D., Ph.D. Dr. Weisenthal is a chemo drug scholar and has extensive, broad based knowledge in chemo drugs.

The following chemo drugs are an example of various individual chemo drugs and some of their combinations, which were used for: Chemosensitivity testing for pancreatic cancer patients. As time moves on, additional drugs will be added. Scientifically speaking, you must regard this list as incomplete. The + sign indicates that two or more chemo drug combinations were tested together as “one combined drug unit” in the test.

The purpose of the following list is to show you various Chemo drugs which were tested: either individually, or in combinations. There are 42 different main entries in the following list. In reality, there can be many more different Chemo drugs combinations tested, as well as, any one of the numerous different Chemo drugs tested individually. There should be enough tissue in a biopsy specimen to conduct tests on a considerable number of different Chemo drugs.

Column 1. Column 2. Column 3.

Cisplatin. Oxaliplatin. Doxil. Etoposide. Floxuridine. Fluorouracil. Fluorouracil + Leucovorin. Trimetrexate + FU/Leucovorin. Oxaliplatin + 5FU. Gemcitabine (Gemzar). Gemcitabine + Cisplatin. Gemcitabine + Oxaliplatin. Gemcitabine + Melphalan. Irinotecan (CPT-11). Irinotecan + Cisplatin. Ironotecan + 5FU + Leucovorin. Gemcitabine + Irinotecan. Topotecan (Hycamtin). Melphalan. Mitomycin C. Docetaxel (Taxotere). Taxol (Paclitaxel). Vinorelbine (Navelbine). Irinotecan + Oxaliplatin. Vinorelbine + High Dose Tamoxifen. Doxil (Pegylated Doxorubicin). Topotecan + Cisplatin. Gefitinib (Iressa). Vinorelbine + Doxil. Gemcitabine + 5FU. Gemcitabine + Vinorelbine. Oxaliplatin + Vinorelbine. Fluorouracil + Interferon alpha. Doxorubicin. Epirubicin. Gemcitabine + Cyclophos (4HC). Dacarbazine. Streptozotocin. Cyclophosphamide (4HC).

Irinotecan + CP + High Dose Tamoxifen. Gemcitabine + Ox + High Dose Tamoxifen. Vinorelbine + MitC + High Dose Tamoxifen.

Listing of individual Chemo drugs appears on pages 200 – 201. Chemo drug combinations appears on pages 203 – 204.

Once the laboratory has your biopsy specimen, they can test several chemo drugs at the same time. The point is, you can test any combination of Chemo drugs, or a single Chemo drug on its own without combinations. Again, when you wish to have the test done, consult with a competent Oncologist and test as many chemo drugs and their various combinations, so that you can obtain extensive knowledge, and the best possible chances for success.

The main reason for listing all the above mentioned chemo drugs and their various combinations, is to show you an example, of how “many different” chemo drugs and their various combinations, can be tested in cases of pancreatic cancer or any other type of cancer. Other types of cancers also have a broad range of chemo drugs and their various combinations which may be tested.

If you are doing the Chemo Sensitivity Test via a blood test (CTC) Circulating Tumor Cells, you can also test various chemo drugs. If a person does the CTC blood test, no biopsy is required. Blood is drawn as in any other blood test and sent to the laboratory.

Two items must be pointed out:

1). Chemo Sensitivity Testing and Chemo Resistance Testing is not a guarantee. It aims to increase the chance for a much better outcome. See the numerous charts in the book titled: Customized Cancer Treatment, (Reviewed on page 185 in this Review Journal.) This book was written by Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D. See the charts printed in this book, which prove statistically, that when a person does a test before (or even after talking chemo) they stand a far better chance of success. As an example, see the following pages in this book. Read the book for extensive rational statistical data.

A). Page 89 Breast cancer. B). Page 91 Breast cancer. C). Page 93 -see Dr. Nagourney’s study. D). Ovarian cancer 27 women and 7 had complete response with the Test and 12 women had a partial response. E). Page 97 Table 3 - Recurrent Ovarian cancer, those who did the Test did better. F). Page 99 Table 4 - Ovarian cancer, those who did the Test did better.

2). The fact that Chemo Sensitivity Testing or Chemo Resistance Testing is done, does not decrease the toxicity of any Chemo Drug(s).

Chemo Drugs Listing. Generic & Trade Names of 61 Individual Different Chemo Drugs.

This is a listing of some chemo drugs where Chemo Sensitivity Testing and/or Chemo Resistance Testing can be done. Frequently, a combination of two or more Chemo Drugs are used together, and these Chemo Drug combinations can also be tested as well. (For a drug dictionary see: http://www.cancer.gov/drugdictionary/ )

Note: The format of this Chemo Drugs Listing is as follows: The first name which appears, is the Generic Name. and following in Parenthesis is the Trade Name. Sometimes there is more than one Trade Name. In the event that the Drug name in which you have an interest to test, does not appear on this list, Call the Laboratories and ask if the testing can be done. There are new Chemo Drugs which appear from time to time, so ask and check with the Laboratories.

Important: The generic names used in this listing, generally follows the generic names which appear in the PDR, Physician’s Desk Reference. For important information on all chemo drugs and all other prescription drugs, see the Website of The National Library of Medicine and Medline.

Important: You can Test many more Chemo drugs combinations. Contact the Weisenthal Cancer Group for information.

Note: Chemo Drug combinations containing more than three or four Chemo Drugs, are tested by some laboratories, by first dividing the combination. This is done for chemical and technical reasons. (For billing purposes it is still considered one test.) Methotrexate, by itself, cannot be tested at all, because it is first converted by the human liver into a different chemical inside the human body. There are many chemo drugs combinations. However, this list contains 70 combinations.

Cell Culture Drug Resistance Assay Test.

This procedure involves testing tissue or blood. For leukemia, if the blood has enough blast cells, then only the blood is required. If there are not enough blast cells, then bone marrow is also required. For Lymphomas: a specimen of the lymph node is required. According to the Weisenthal Cancer Group, patients will have a far greater chance of responding to Chemo drugs which are active in this procedure, as compared to drugs shown to be inactive. Ask the Weisenthal Cancer Group for the latest data and statistics. Larry Weisenthal, M.D., Ph.D, is a Medical Oncologist who has been researching and performing these tests on a virtually full time basis since 1979. Based on his credentials, research and writings, Dr. Larry Weisenthal is an outstanding and illustrious scholar with an extensive knowledge of Chemo drugs.

Larry M. Weisenthal, M.D., Ph.D, also holds a Ph.D in Pharmacology. Therefore, it appears accurate to say, that he understands the inner workings of many different chemo drugs on their specific individual molecular level and (all) their various and numerous chemical properties, functions, effects, exceptions, side effects, and etc., The average Oncologist does not have this vastly broader and deeper more encompassing and meaningful knowledge of chemo drugs, and their various combinations. Nor the understanding of the vast array of the many different implications or ramifications of each specific Chemo drug and their numerous different combinations, as they relate to the treatment of the many different cancers and their specific Stages.

The following is a brief outline of the medical education and activities of, Larry Weisenthal, M.D., Ph.D. After three years as an undergraduate chemistry major at the University of Louisville, (no degree,) he entered medical school. As a student at the University of Louisville, he received awards as being the most outstanding freshman, sophomore, and junior man (1965-1968). In 1974 he received a Ph.D in Pharmacology from the University of Michigan, (Dr. Weisenthal worked in the laboratory of Raymond W. Ruddon) and in 1975 he received his Medical Doctor degree. Dr. Weisenthal was also Clinical Associate, at the Medicine Branch of the National Cancer Institute. During 1978 - 1979 he did one year post-doctoral research at the Laboratory of Dr. Marc Lippman at The National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Maryland. In 1978 he was Board Certified in Internal Medicine and in 1979 he was Board Certified in Medical Oncology. Dr. Weisenthal worked for eight years in the, Section of Hematology-Oncology in The Long Beach VA Hospital as Staff Physician and as an Associate Professor of Medicine in Residence at The University of California Irvine (1979-1987).

Additional activities include:

1). Three years of service as The Oncology Reviewer for The VA Research Advisory Group. 2). Five years of service on The Expert Advisory Committee for The National Cancer Institute - National Institutes of Health Antitumor Drug Screening Program (1986-1991). 3). Member of the Editorial Advisory Board of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. 4). Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine (Hematology / Oncology University of California Irvine. 5). Bibliography includes 45 research papers, reviews, and book chapters. 34 abstracts, 1 Ph.D thesis. 6). Plenary lectureship, Scandinavian Hematology Association Uppsala, Sweden, May 1994. (Title: Cell Culture Drug Resistance Assays in Hematologic Neoplasms.)

1). Tests results of the Chemo Sensitivity Test are put into a defined category per each Individual Chemo drug tested.

2). Tests results of the Chemo Sensitivity Test are put into a defined category per each Combination of Chemo drugs.

The test results show the efficacy of the various Chemo drugs used in the test, in four different categories.

Definition of Test Results Terminology.

1). Intermediate = This means that the Pre-Test assumption and After-Test Results have the same probability of success.

2). Resistant = This means that the After-Test Result shows a lower chance of success than the Pre-Test assumption.

3). Resistant EDR = Extreme Drug Resistance. This means that the After-Test result, shows a much lower chance for success, than what was assumed prior to the Test of a specific chemo drug, or drugs combination.

4). Sensitive = This means that the After-Test result shows a much better chance for success, than what was assumed prior to the Test. A result of Sensitive is indicative of a much better chance for success with that specific Chemo Drug or Chemo Drugs Combination.

Each test will show different results, even when the same Chemo drugs are tested. That will happen because each person has their own unique individual “body uniqueness” composed of their own DNA and other personal unique attributes.

Each Person is different and that is why the Cell Culture Drug Resistance Assay test is done for each person, on an individual basis. Each individual person with each specific type of cancer, may (or will) react differently to each specific Chemo drug or Chemo drugs combination.

Dr. Weisenthal is a Medical Oncologist and he has a Ph.D in Pharmacology. Note: Your biopsy can be done locally and your specimen is then sent to Dr. Weisenthal’s lab.

Important: The fact that this assay test is done, does not decrease the toxicity of any Chemo drug(s).

Important: Before a person has a biopsy, it is wise to contact all the various Laboratories to ask if the CTC = Circulating Tumor Cells Blood Test, has been perfected for Solid Tumors. Perhaps a biopsy can be avoided. Read criticism of this test at: http://www.weisenthalcancer.com/FAQ.html -Scroll to Question & Answer 9.

The following are 2 different test names but they are actually the same test, according to Dr. Weisenthal. 1). Cell Culture Tumor Resistance (CCTR) 2). Human Tumor Cell Sensitivity (HTCS)

According to Larry M. Weisenthal, M.D. Ph.D, Chemoresistance and Chemosensitivity testing are “one and the same.” Source: www.CancerTest.org entry dated June 27, 2009 in this blog.

Leukemia or Lymphoma Testing. For Leukemia, the testing is done via, either peripheral blood or a thimbleful of bone marrow aspirate. If the blood has enough blast cells, then only the blood is required. If there are not enough blast cells, then bone marrow is also required.

Lymphoma Testing. For Lymphoma, the testing is done via a lymph node biopsy. If there are Lymphoma cells in the blood or marrow, those can also be used for testing. Ask both, Dr. Weisenthal and Dr. Nagourney, for more information. Each doctor may have a different approach as to which specific sample(s) to take.

Dr. Weisenthal uses the, Disc Assay, or MTT Assay, or ATP Assay. Ask the Lab for the latest updates.

Breast Cancer Example. Example of 20+ Chemo Drugs Tested for Breast Cancer. The following is an example of Chemo Sensitivity Testing for a person with breast cancer, who already was treated with the chemo drug Taxol and afterward did the following Chemosensitivity Test. Being that the chemo did not work, the person had their cancer tissue tested by Dr. Larry Weisenthal in his laboratory, to see which of the following 20 different chemo drug(s) possibilities, would be most effective in destroying the cancer cells.

1). Cyclophosphamide (4HC) 2). Melphalan 3). Thiotepa 4). Carboplatin 5). Carmustine 6). Doxorubicin 7). Etoposide 8). Fluorouracil 9). Gemcitabine (Gemzar) 10). Gemcitabine + Cisplatin 11). Mitomycin C 12). Mitoxantrone 13). Docetaxel (Taxotere) 14). Taxol (Paclitaxel) 15). Irinotecan (CPT-11) 16). Topotecan (Hycamtin) 17). Trimetrexate 18). Trimetrexate + FU/Leucovorin 19). Vinorelbine 20). Vinorelbine + Mitoxantrone

The results of the test showed which specific chemo drug(s) had the highest chance of success in destroying this person’s cancer cells. Remember each person is different, and the test will show different results on an individual basis.

For a complete understanding of the above, see the following. Weisenthal Cancer Group Website for a scientific scholarly article written by: Larry M. Weisenthal, M.D., Ph.D and: Peter Nygren, M.D., Ph.D. Article Title: Current Status of Cell Culture Drug Resistance Testing (CCDRT) Website: www.WeisenthalCancer.com

Ex Vivo Apoptotic Assay Test, by Robert Nagourney, M.D. The Ex-Vivo Apoptotic Test was developed by Dr. Robert Nagourney, M.D., Hematologist, Oncologist. The Ex-Vivo Apoptotic Assay Test works by using a specimen of the cancer tissue which is acquired from a biopsy.

The cancerous tissue or blood or bone marrow specimen, is placed in Laboratory test tubes (petri dishes) and several different Chemo drugs are put into the numerous different test tubes (petri dishes).

Example: 1). The specimen is divided into 10 different test tubes. 2). 10 different Chemo drugs are now put into the 10 different test tubes. 3). The Laboratory checks and tests which specific Chemo drugs did the best job in destroying the cancer cells.

The term ‘Cell Apoptosis’ means Cell Death. In this case it refers to cancer cells, - how fast the cancer cells die. By observing in the Laboratory, which specific Chemo drug worked most efficiently in killing the cancer cells, this Chemo drug is then recommended for use.

Not all people’s cancer cells react the same exact way to the various Chemo drugs. Even if they have the same exact diagnosis and are given the same exact drugs.

Example: Person A responds better to Chemo drug # 5. Person B responds better to Chemo drug # 24. Person C responds better to Chemo drug # 16 and Chemo drug # 24, when combined together.

The Rational Therapeutics Ex-Vivo Apoptotic Assay is based on the premise, that cancer cells do not necessarily grow too fast. Rather, the problem is “cancer cells die too slowly.” –And this IS cancer. Accordingly, cancer cells often do not grow more rapidly than healthy cells, they just “don’t die fast enough” and therefore accumulate into forming a tumor mass. Dr. Nagourney explained this concept clearly in his speech at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAGhNhrHMJs

There are over 500 peer reviewed correlations already published, confirming the benefit of this treatment in human cancer therapy. The studies demonstrate that when Chemo drugs are selected according to these assay findings, the likelihood of a favorable outcome approximately doubles. (Some say the number is far bigger.)

Both, Chemo Sensitivity Testing and Chemo Resistance Testing are available at this Laboratory.

HCG Urine Immunoassay Cancer Test. This cancer test was developed in the late 1950's by an oncologist, the late Dr. Manuel D. Navarro. This test is non-invasive, because it uses the urine of a person for the test. A person taking this test would have to avoid for three (or four) days, all drugs which are either: Hormone replacement therapy drugs, all Steroid drugs, and taking Vitamin D3, for three (or four) days before taking a urine sample. Vitamin D3 is also actually a hormone, called: cholecalciferol. Contact Dr. Efren Navarro for more exact details.

For more information and details see Navarro Medical Clinic Website, Dr. Efren Navarro, M.D. Manila, Philippines. Website: http://www.navarromedicalclinic.com/index.php The cost is approximately $55.00. This test is not valid for pregnant women. For females, no intercourse allowed for twelve days prior to giving the urine sample. For males, no ejaculation within 24 hours of giving the urine sample. See the following Websites regarding false results of tests, and additional information about tests. .
