After 35 years in practice, I have had thousands of patients who were told that there was nothing else that could stop their back pain except pain medication and/or surgery.
Unfortunately, many of these same patients were NOT offered ALL of their options.
The one option that was not offered, of course, was chiropractic treatment. I can tell you with great satisfaction that many many of these patients finally were relieved of their pain after seeing me for chiropractic treatment.
In fact, you will likely hear the same story from many of my colleages. The results are absolutely stunning.
The question you may be asking is, “why aren’t more people told about the great benefits of chiropractic treatment for millions of people suffering with back pain?”
Well, I believe the main reason is many traditionally trained medical physicians are simply not aware of the extensive training of chiropractors and the biomechanical science behind chiropractic treatment.
The medical doctors who have referred patients to my office have taken the time to learn what I do and why what I do works. Of course, it is hard to argue with returning patients telling their primary doctor that they are finally out of pain.
Now what in the world does this have to do with cancer or for that matter any disease?
Well, you see, there is another side to healthcare that simply is not being mentioned to the millions of suffering folks in the US and abroad.
If the health condition, may it be arthritis, heart disease, cancer, etc…, can not be improved with drugs or surgery, then one is told that EVERYTHING has been done and the patient has to simply accept the fact that they have to live (or die) with their condition.
How sad but NOT true..
You will see, like all of my articles, the overflowing list of medical references showing that their are respected scientists and researchers proving that the patient has NOT been given ALL of their options.
Today’s article addresses the most feared disease on earth and that is cancer.
What is one to do when chemotherapy no longer works, the cancer is spreading, and the doctor says.. I am sorry but their is NOTHING else we can do for you.
Do you accept it hook, line and sinker?
I hope not..
I want to make mention that most cancer patients do not die from the cancer itself instead from the spreading of the cancer (metastases) to other parts of the body. Basically the body simply gets overwhelmed and begins to shut down.
Once a cancerous tumor grows too big in an organ, it has to spread to the rest of the body and try to “attach itself” to a new spot that does not have as much competition.
It is simple to say when the existing mass can no longer support any further growth, the cancerous cells have a new mission to seek out a new location and blood supply.
As the cancer cell begins to spread say from the prostate or breast and reaches it new destination may it be the brain, lungs or bones, it has to have some way to attach itself to the new location. Basically, it needs a specific anchor to secure it onto the brain, bone, liver or wherever it has metastasized too. This anchor becomes the “fuel line” for nutrients allowing it to grow and spread even further.
As you are probably wondering this anchor goes by a number of different names. But to keep things simple and to avoid confusing you, I will refer to it by one of its names here, galectin-3.
It is common for oncologists to check a cancer patient’s galectin levels. It is well known that the higher the galectin-3 level goes up, the more aggressive the metastasis will be and unfortunately, the more likely the tumor will become resistant to chemotherapy. For most cancer patients this is commonly a death sentence and the worst news they can hear.
Now what if their was something that could actually block this anchor from attaching to any organ in the body. And what if it was non-toxic?
Well, there is something that has been found to block the cancer cells’s anchor, galectin-3 and it is calledModified Citrus Pectin (MCP). It’s the white stuff, pulp and fiber of citrus fruits.
In one study of only 29 patients using MCP, at four months 20% of the patients had benefit. Bear in mind that these folks were told that there was nothing more that could be done for them.
In another study using 15 gms a day of MCP in seven patients with recurrent prostate cancer, four of them showed a 30% increase in the time that it took for the PSA to double, which can be interpreted as slowing down the cancer growth rate.
Please understand that no single nutrient, medication,or surgery is sufficient to address the total package of cancer. In most of the positive case reviews no nutrient/toxicity assays were done!
What I see as the real benefit of MCP is that it simply buys people more time to get a more thorough nutritional and toxicity work-up to help identify where and how the body’s chemistry is failing.
Just like I mentioned at the beginning of this article, don’t settle for the saying, “that everything has been done.”
That can simply be translated to say that there are no drugs or surgery to help you.
Remember there are tons of the medical peer-reviewed papers stating that there are possible and probable causes of XYZ disease(s) including different types of cancer.
The sad news is you are unlikely to hear about in the traditional medicine world.
So getting rid of the underlying causes is not only important but essential.
If you or a loved one has cancer and if the cancer has spread or become resistant to chemotherapy you have nothing to lose by discussing MCP with your oncologist. Simply show your doctor all of the references that follow this article.
Now I have to admit, I would NOT hang your hat on assuming that taking MCP is the ticket to solving the cancer challenge but like I said above it may afford you more time to look deeper into the possible underlying biochemical glitches which has caused your body to malfunction leading to the cancer diagnosis.
I would find someone who is trained in functional medicine and have a CardioIon Test ordered. This is one of the most comprehensive nutritional test on planet earth. It provides at least 14-20 pages of critical information that could very well save your life.
Returning back to the MCP, I recommend EcoNugenics Modified Citrus Pectin because it has been used in human studies. The dose used is usually 5 gm (5000 mg) three times a day, but as you see, some tripled it. But remember, that dose may be so high because they had never addressed the underlying biochemical and toxic load.
So remember the benefit of MCP is the fact that it was found to block the anchoring galectin-3 attachment of cancer cells so they can’t metastasize. In other words, if the floating cancer cells are unable to adhere to the organs they will not be able to set up house and gain a hold on the blood supply thereby not able to survive and grow.
