Steve Yap «Energy Medicine Association

Almost 100 % success with Cancer Therapy

Dear Friends

I am delighted to announce that one of the first Bio-LaesEr – HealthIntegrator sets will be delivered to Dato Steve Yap http://www.dsywellness.com/about-us in Malaysia.

President, Federation of Complementary & Natural Medical Associations Malaysia;
President, Association of Nutritional Medicine Practitioners Malaysia;

Dr Yap is a CoRe user since several years. Dr Yap is one of the key therapists for Cancer therapy in Asia – he has probably more Cancer patients then any other practitioner in that region. He is using almost exclusively Nutritional therapy in combination with CoRe and has a almost 100 % success in reversing cancer

His approach confirms my observation that at this point it has become more dangerous to stick with conventional cancer therapy for too long before understanding that healing of Cancer needs far more simple approaches like Dr Yap with nutrition, Dr Burzynski www.burzynskiclinic.com with Peptides or therapy with CoRe for spiritual healing.

The situation has not changed since centuries ago, where doctors led their patients bleed to death because blood-letting was considered the cure-all. Not because they were malicious but because they are just like most humans in any other field too much concerned about fitting-in and doing what the authority of the day has approved. And things do not change – not because of a pharma lobby or a another conspiracy that we could blame – but simply because ignorance and stagnation make up the biggest part of almost everyone on this planet – so suffering will remain the driving force for some to change and to excel.

Dr Yap who was open to be one of the first to start with clinical trials of the Bioresonance LaesEr – as he understands that Nutrition and Psychological factors are the number one reasons for Cancer and also as he told me in a communication that it is essential to integrate the Cancer experience in ones psychological life after one has been physiologically healed. CoRe is the tool towards that purpose – as Cancer is a RESET – that clears the ground to re-built ones life on a more healthy foundation.

I present here an abstract from Dr Yap that summarizes his ideas :

Introduction

In 450BC Hippocrates, the father of Western medicine, said “Let your food be your medicine, your medicine be your food.” Today, this philosophy is being faithfully

followed by those who practise nutritional medicine. While modern drugs are effective

in suppressing the symptoms of diseases, they are far less helpful in reversing (that is, addressing the causes of) chronic metabolic disorders such as cancer, heart diseases, diabetes, allergies, hypertension, autoimmune disorders, renal failure, and chronic

fatigue syndrome. Consequently, these metabolic disorders are now linked to all the leading causes of non-accidental deaths in both developed and developing nations.

The author of this paper shares his decade-long experience in reversing a wide variety

of advanced cancers using purely nutritional means with positive outcomes far exceeding those achieved by drug/surgical therapies. None of the conventional Western therapies addresses cancer cause(s). Instead, “most cancer patients in (USA) die of chemotherapy” (Levin, 1990). The situation in Europe is equally bad with 200,000 Britons being diagnosed with cancer and 152,500 die each year (UK Cancer Research Campaign).

Chart I (Appendix) shows the respective percentages of cancers/tumors treated at the author’s wellness center between 2004 and 2009: digestive tract (especially colon and liver) 27%, breast 24%, uterine/ovarian 14%, lung 13%, while those with leukemia, cancers of the prostate, nasal, and lymphoma constituted the remainder.

Hallmarks of Cancer

Hanahan and Weinberg (2000) defined six capabilities of tumor cells that apply to virtually all human cancers:

Ability to proliferate without growth factor signaling;

Cells don’t respond to body’s growth inhibitory signals;

Cells resistant to apoptosis (genetically programmed death);

Cells have unlimited potential for proliferation;

Cells able to invade and colonize other tissues/organs; and

Cells able to induce angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels to feed growth)

Role of nutritional therapy

Scientific research on the properties of phyto-nutrients in preventing and treating chronic diseases has expanded rapidly over the past decade (Higdon, 2007). Nutritional therapy strengthens the patient’s immune system and enhances his detoxification, which then neutralizes and eliminates carcinogens from his body. This natural therapy can significantly reduce cancer cell replication or proliferation rate (uncontrolled mitosis, which is a key factor in promoting genetic mutations), apoptosis, blocking growth receptor sites to prevent over-stimulation by hormones and growth factors), synthesis of pro-inflammatory prostaglandins, and angiogenesis or later metastasis (ability to invade and colonize other tissues). Generally, no solid tumor can grow beyond 2mm unless

it generates new blood vessels. Consequently, a new and expensive drug (with properties copied from soy isoflavones), Avastin, was recently introduced to address angiogenesis. Nevertheless, the use of isoflavones in adjunct cancer therapy has been heavily criticized by conventional Western medicine around the globe. The issue it seems is isoflavones are estrogenic. It has been estimated that the estrogenic effect of soy isoflavones is around 100,000 times weaker than estradiol (E2), which is probably the principal hormone stimulating malignant growth. Isoflavones are much more protective than even highly regarded properties of estriol (E3) in reversing estrogen-dependent cancers such as those of the breasts, ovaries, and prostate.

Nutritional therapy proposes dietary/lifestyle modifications and the use of evidence -based nutraceuticals (nutrients extracted from food and plants) in raising the patients’ own immunity against pathogens, onco-viruses, fungi, parasites, and mutated cells; alkalizing their internal cellular environment (cancer cells are anaerobic) to reduce malignant growth and metastasis; suppressing or neutralizing the growth-remoting effects of androgens (estradiol, DHT) and hormones (IGF-1, insulin); promoting apoptosis of malignant cells without harming normal cells; reversing cachexia and the catabolic effects of elevated cortisol; oxygenating their blood and cells; detoxifying pesticides and heavy metals such as mercury and lead; inducing enhanced production

of stem cells to aid repair and renewal of affected organs; activate liver production of glutathione; reactivating their bone marrow’s production of blood cells after chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy; and promoting sound sleep at night. These innovative directions in complementary cancer therapy have gained much praises from patients and their loved ones. To date, clinical observations suggest that hardly any cancer patient has failed to respond positively to this treatment strategy initiated at the DSY Wellness & Longevity Center (www.dsywellness.com). Current government regulations prevent description of “chronic diseases” being treated at the Center, let alone providing explanation of my natural cancer therapy to would-be patients. The long awaited Complementary & Traditional Medicine Act may change this unsatisfactory situation.

Lessons from Gerson

For twenty years, Max Gerson MD successfully treated hundreds of cancer patients who had been given up to die after all conventional treatments had failed. He was probably the first physician invited to present to the US Senate Committee after the Second World War on the merits of using nutritional therapy to treat advanced cancers. That honor later turned into a nightmare after the American Medical Association terminated his medical license for using this ‘radical’ approach. Since 1930s, mainstream medicine has avoided any research on the use food and nutraceuticals to treat cancer in humans.

Canadian study

For decades, nutritional therapy has been promoted by complementary and alternative medical practitioners in many developed countries despite hash actions against them from drug medicine. Chart II (Appendix) summarizes the results achieved by the two -time Nobel Prize winner, the late Linus Pauling PhD, and a leading Canadian physician and nutritional therapist, Abram Hoffer MD, PhD. In a study published in 1990, 80%

of their terminal cancer patients given “nutrition support” lived for five years or longer and 20% lived for 10 months compared to less than 6 months for those without nutritional therapy. The 5-year survival period is considered a ‘cure’ in mainstream oncology. Pauling and Hoffer were later credited with the growth of orthomolecular medicine, which involves ascertaining “the right molecules at the right physiological dosages” to treat a given health disorder or to bring the body into equilibrium.

Systemic health disorders

It is worth emphasizing that cancer is a systemic disorder with wide ranging life -threatening consequences for the patients. As Chart III (Appendix) shows, the majority of cancer patients present themselves at DSY Wellness Center also suffered from other chronic disorders such as diabetes, elevated glucose, heart disease, allergies, elevated cortisol, bone marrow damage, anemia, poor blood circulation, bile flow obstruction, hormonal imbalance, adrenal insufficiency, anorexia, cachexia, insomnia, and inflammation. This phenomenon could be addressed only by the use of more holistic and natural (free from adverse side effects) therapies designed to achieve a positive systemic effect for the patient. Arguably, nutritional therapy offers the ideal protocol.

Selective targeting

Different types of cancer seem to react to nutraceuticals differently. Consequently, nutrients used to treat, for instance, nasal cancer would be rather different from those used against stomach, breast, or colon cancer. Furthermore, nutraceuticals suppress tumor growth differently in its various stages from initiation to metastasis. Unlike the limited variety of chemotherapy drugs in use, nutraceuticals with anti-tumor/cancer properties are believed to be in their thousands. There is insufficient funding for them to be thoroughly studied in a clinical context since these phytonutrients cannot be patented for massive profits.

Poor outcomes from conventional therapies

Recent study published in British Clinical Oncology shown the overall contribution of curative and adjuvant cytotoxic chemotherapy to 5-year survival in adults was estimated to be just 2.3% in Australia and 2.1% in the United States (Morgan et al, 2004). Years’ earlier, Moss (1996) pointed out that there was no proof that chemotherapy actually extended life in the vast majority of cases.

According to the United States’ National Cancer Institute, up to 40% of cancer patients die from causes related to malnutrition and not from the cancer itself. Considering the extremely low success rates achieved by Western conventional therapies it makes good sense that nutritional therapy should be the first and primary weapon against cancer.

The conventional therapies have led 80% of cancer patients to develop some form of clinical malnutrition. Western-trained doctors advising that cancer patients could eat whatever they like could actually lead to their further malignant growth.

Dubious Food Pyramid

Most nutritionists and dieticians are unaware that the widely publicized Food Pyramid (see Appendix, Chart IV) recommended by the US Department of Agriculture was based not on scientific research, but rather on ‘politics’ played out by the various competing industries especially those from the milk and grains suppliers (Nestle, 2007). The United States produces 300% more grains, meat, and milk that their already overweight population could consume. Their numerous health disorders are now being ‘exported’ to other developing countries.

Dubious nutritional recommendations

The majority of the US-FDA advisors who decide on the Recommended Daily Allowances (RDAs) for nutrients have financial links with drug corporations. In most other professions, such conflict of interest would be unacceptable. However, most of the experts hired to advise the US government on the safety and effectiveness of medicine have financial relationships with the pharmaceutical companies that will be helped or hurt by their decisions (USA Today, 2000). Suffice to say that the RDAs are intended for normal, healthy Americans (Kunin, 2011). There is hardly any solid science behind the establishment of the daily nutritional requirements for different stages in an adult’s life cycle, let alone for cancer patients.

Alternative view on malignancy

Complementary medicine views cancer as a metabolic disorder and it is not a disease in the real sense since it cannot be spread to others by the patient. The human body replaces 50 to 70 billion cells a day. Consequently, it is easy for some of these cells to mutate especially in today’s highly toxic environment in which we live and work. Even freshly harvested food lacks antioxidants and other essential nutrients for preventing or repairing cellular mutations; water in many large cities is contaminated with industrial chemicals besides chlorinated metabolites after boiling; most prepared or served food contain pro-inflammatory chemicals and known carcinogens from additives, bleaching agents, preservatives, pesticides, or just from over-cooking; soft drinks contain chemicals, colorings, and high amount of sugar which cancer cells feed on; and even coffee and alcoholic beverages are estrogenic, which also contribute to our abnormal cell growth.

Top ten nutraceuticals

While specific nutraceuticals are combined to address different types of cancer, the top ten most popular nutrients used at DSY Wellness Center to reverse malignancy are:

(a) Curcumin

reduces proliferation by inhibiting 12-lipoxygenase;

decreases angiogenesis by inhibiting VEGF;

induces cell apoptosis; and

plays a therapeutic role at every stage of malignancy.

(b) Isoflavones

block estrogen receptors;

reduce proliferation by stimulating receptors;

genistein content inhibits angiogenesis; and

induce apoptosis with as little as 200mg.

(c) Vitamin D

widely recognised as the most potent anti-cancer vitamin; and

generates calcitriol in cancer cells which slows their replication, especially in tumors of breast, colon, and prostate.

(d) Vitamin C

increases release of interferon from immune cells;

upregulates p53 tumor suppressor-mediated apoptosis;

reduces proliferation by inhibiting NF-kappa beta in abnormal cells; and

reduces the spread of infection to cancer patients.

(e) Alpha Lipoic Acid

acts as an ideal antioxidant that penetrates the blood-brain barrier;

detoxifies and protects the liver ;

neutralizes damage from chemicals and heavy metals; and

lowers damages inflicted by excessively high blood glucose.

(f) Selenium

lowers free radicals generated by toxins, chemicals, and heavy metals;

promotes liver production of glutathione; and

activates patient’s immune system.

(g) Indole-3-carbinols

protects cellular DNA structure and enhances its repair;

possesses chemo-preventive properties;

stimulates body’s production of detoxification enzymes; and

inhibits the dangerous 4-hydroxylation of estradiol.

(h) EPA

reduces inflammation, which is a key factor in promoting malignancy;

normalizes blood glucose to reduce fermentation by cancer cells;

promotes apoptosis in some cancer lines; and

thins the blood for improved circulation and oxygenation.

(i) Bromelain

possess strong anti-inflammatory properties;

helps break down protein linings in tumor lumps; and

its CCZ molecules activate immune cells that recognize and kill cancer cells

(j) Resveratrol

inhibits abnormal cell proliferation;

induces apoptosis;

inhibits pro-inflammatory enzymes; and

inhibits the expression and activity of some cytochrome P450 enzymes

Top ten health foods

(a) Soy protein isolate

blocks estrogen ER-beta receptors which promote malignancy;

high quality complete plant protein for patients; and

easily mixed into liquid and highly digestible.

(b) Flax seed oil

generates anti-inflammatory chemicals;

rich source of concentration energy, especially for the heart; and

reduces damage to cellular DNAs.

(c) Cruciferous vegetables

contain rich amounts of anti-tumor phytonutrients;

alkalize the body; and

detoxify estrogen and remove carcinogens from the body.

(d) Chinese mushrooms/Shiitake

contain anti-tumor polysaccharides and minerals;

lower elevated blood glucose; and

offer a rich source of plant protein.

(e) Millet/buckwheat

rich source of plant protein;

posses anti-tumor properties;

contain less carbohydrate than rice or other grains; and

alkalize the body and are gluten free

(f) Carrot/spinach

rich source phytonutrients;

possesses anti-tumor properties; and

alkalizes the body .

(g) Lentils/nuts

rich of plant protein;

rich in phytonutrients; and

good substitute for farmed meat and livestock

(h) Sea cucumber/scallop/fatty fish

very rich in digestible complete proteins;

rich in zinc to enhance patient’s immunity; and

rich in omega-3 anti-inflammatory fats.

(i) Egg white

highest quality complete protein; and

however, it may cause allergy in some individuals.

(j) Berries/citric fruits

rich in vitamin C and minerals;

rich in anti-tumor nutrients; and

aid in removing toxins.

Protein intake

Surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, as well as cancer progression can significantly increase the body’s need for additional quality protein. About half of the daily protein intake in an adult is used to produce his enzymes, which are estimated to number some 5,000. In addition, red blood cells, stem cells, antibodies, and many hormones are made from these amino acids. However, meat from farmed animals and livestock is not recommended. Milk or milk products are not recognised as health foods in nutritional therapy. While the Gerson Therapy does not include egg, clinical experience suggests egg white raises albumin level and immunity while reduces cachexia.

Apoptosis

Nutrients that induce apoptosis are crucial in cancer therapy since virtually all malignant cells have developed ways to overcome apoptotic death signals. The growth of a tumor is determined not just by the rate of its cell division but also by its unique inhibition of naturally-programmed cell death making these cells virtually immortal. The commonly tested inflammatory marker, Tumor Necrosis Factor, is a major extrinsic mediator of apoptosis. Ways in which cancer cells avoid apoptosis are too numerous to be discussed. Basically, they accomplish this feat by either up-regulating anti-apoptotic proteins or down-regulating or inhibiting pro-apoptotic proteins.

Having a mutated p53 tumor suppression gene is probably the most common alternation of the apoptotic pathways since this gene regulates the expression of numerous apoptotic proteins such as PUMA and Noxa. Mutations in p53 gene have been found in most human cancers. Since its discovery at John Hopkins in the late 1990s, the test for this important piece of genetic puzzle is still not widely available. Mainstream is rather slow in responding to new and useful research that is unlikely to involve drug(s).

Metastasis

Common cancers of the breast, lung, and prostate often metastasize to the bone which can significantly diminishes patient’s chances of recovery. Colon and stomach cancers tend to spread to liver and lungs, whereas prostate to bones of spine and pelvis. High -dose chemotherapy often destroys patient’s bone marrow leading to elevated serum ferritin and severe anemia. The late King Hussein of Jordan died during his bone marrow transplant despite the very best Western medicine his great wealth could command. Nothing short of an aggressive and holistic therapy with systemic impact would arrest terminal cancer. It is proposed that only a multidisciplinary team of natural medicine practitioners could offer such a mind-body therapy to halt and possibly reverse the progression of metastatic cancer.

Lessons from Warburg

German scientist Otto H. Warburg’s theory on the origin of cancer earned him the Nobel Prize in Medicine, 1931. He first proposed in 1924 that the main cause of cancer was injury to a cell caused by impairment to the cell’s power plant – or energy metabolism – found in its mitochondria. Tumors and cancer cells generate energy through the non-oxidative breakdown of glucose (‘glycolysis’). Indeed, glycolysis is the biochemical hallmark of most, if not all, types of cancers. The author considers it crucial to the reversal of cancer that patients should avoid refined starch, sweet and sugary foods, as well as high-fructose fruits or beverages. Instead, energy could come from consuming monounsaturated fats and complex carbohydrates such as whole organic millet, buckwheat, and quinoa as well as fresh, organic colorful vegetables, root vegetables such as yam, sweet potato, bamboo shoot, berries, and citric fruits. Soy isolate and polysaccharides from mushrooms are recommended too.

Detoxification

Abnormal cells are unlikely to grow in a body enjoying optimum metabolism (Gerson, 1958). Gerson viewed cancer as a metabolic disorder. The liver requires a range of sulphur-based amino acids such as cysteine and methionine for its detoxification of toxins. For the removal of heavy metals such as mercury and lead, blue sea algae, alpha lipoic acid, selenium, cilantro, and allicin are useful.

Candidiasis

Last by not least, it is worth highlighting that many cancer patients suffer from Candida infection. Indeed, the Italian oncologist, Simoncini MD (2005), claims that “cancer is caused by fungal masses.” He assesses the success of current oncological treatments to be “virtually nil”. Whereas Simoncini uses large dose sodium bicarbonate to wash away the fungal masses, the author recommends the use of extra virgin coconut oil which naturally contains at least 6% caprylic acid (C-8) as an effective natural remedy against candidiasis. It could be added to meals/beverages and/or applied to fungal patches in any part of the body.

Conclusion

As the Charts V and VI in Appendix demonstrate, the author’s clinical results achieved thus far from nutritional therapy strongly imply that the practice of natural medicine has now gained new heights in addressing this most feared among all modern chronic health disorders. His large clientele from numerous countries testify to the merits in using nutrition therapy – in its broadest sense – as the principal weapon against malignant growth.
