> 1. What is cancer? Where does it come from?
Cancer is ungoverned cell replication: growth without end, without
purpose. The cell has degenerated to fermenting its sugar instead of
oxidizing it with oxygen. It loses differentiation and its function and no
longer acts for the good of the body.
Cancer is caused when cells are deprived of 60% or more of their oxygen for
an extended period of time. In most cases, this deprivation is chronic, over
many years, due to a buildup of toxins. In order to survive, the cells
revert to a more primitive, backup mode, and ferment their sugar
anerobically. The waste products produced by this are first carbon monoxide
and later lactic acid. Every day hundreds of cells enter this state, and are
cleaned up by the body, which has over a dozen cleanup mechanisms (the
janitor crew).
> 2. What determines the rate of growth of cancer tumors?
The cancer cell gives off waste lactic acid, which results in an area of
acidity around it. Passing T-cells and macrophages interpret this to mean
that there is an injury at this point and that repair is necessary. To
facilitate this, they release some enzyme growth factor, and this stimulates
the cancer cell to replicate. More cells, more acidity, more enzyme growth
factor, more cancer cells, etc, in a vicious circle, that spirals down to
death. If opportunistic parasites move into the weakened area, their acidic
wastes compound the problem.
> 3. Why is cancer deadly?
After a certain point, cancer cells break off from the original mass and
travel around the body, seeking new points to establish a foothold. This is
called metastasis. This process is accelerated by any physical invasion of
the tumor, such as a biopsy. As more and more areas are invaded, more and
more of the body's functions break down. The cancer cells secrete enzymes
that suppress appetite, while they are kept fed (inadvertently) by the
liver, which transforms their waste, lactic acid, back into glycogen (sugar)
by means of the enzyme PEP-CK. Hydrazine sulphate blocks the action of this
enzyme, and helps people recover appetite. Without appetite, more than
one-third of cancer patients die of malnutrition before the cancer kills
them.
> 4. Why can't normal cells and cancer cells just get along?
The raison d'être of the cancer cell is limitless growth, and since the
cells lose their ability to function in the normal roles they originally had
(differentiation) they are extremely disruptive of the body's functioning.
The cancer tumor forces its way between other cells, secreting enzymes that
dissolve the walls of adjacent cells, to gain growing space. This process of
breakdown can be blocked by Vitamin C, which strengthens the collagen which
separates cells. This results in tightly packed tumors, which are
susceptible to heat stress, as produced by a steam sauna or infra red or
even microwave.
Some cancer cells have the ability to make the enzyme telomerase, which
ensures that during each replication, the ends of the DNA strand (telomeres)
are kept intact, which enables the cells to replicate thousands of times. A
normal cell has this system shut off. Scientists are working hard to
discover how to turn on this enzyme production in normal cells, which would
produce practical immortality, because this fraying of the telomeres is what
causes imperfect replication, and aging until death. (Free radicals are not
causal, but the result of toxic buildup that prevents their neutralization
by the antioxidant enzymes).
> 5. What do cancer cells eat and how do they survive? How do they
reproduce?
Cancer cells live on sugar and nitrogen. Their fermentation process is
very inefficient, and the demands of replication are high, so they are
chronically weak. Fermentation produces only 1/20 the amount of energy (ATP)
that oxidation does. Cancer cells are perpetually hungry for more sugar,
because they are so wasteful. They secrete enzymes that cause the growth of
new blood vessels (angiogenesis), like a tree growing roots, in order to
increase their supply of sugar. This process can be blocked by shark
cartilage and endostatin.
Cancer cells reproduce by cell division in the normal way. One of the aminos
that cancer cells need for replication is glutamine, and taking Tributyrate
is a therapy that blocks the storage of glutamine, slowing growth.
> 6. Is it true that all cancer tumors are full of lactic acid?
The waste product of fermentation of sugar by cancer cells is lactic acid.
> 7. Is it true that in 1931 Otto Warburg won the Nobel Prize for the cure
and prevention of cancer? What exactly did he prove causes cancer?
In 1928, Dr. Otto Warburg published his findings, stating that cells that
are deprived of 60% of their oxygen supply over a period of time will revert
to fermentation of their sugar supply, lose differentiation, and no longer
follow the body's blueprint., but instead make endless copies of themselves,
to the detriment of the host. In 1931 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for his
discovery. Since that time, the production of cancer cells from normal cells
has been replicated repeatedly in the laboratory by depriving cells of
oxygen, while maintaining the supply of sugar. In 1952, the National Cancer
Institute verified Dr. Warburg's findings regarding lack of oxygen being the
cause of cancer.
> 8. Why isn't this in the mainstream media?
Enormous amounts of money are poured into research, faulty treatment and
propaganda to maintain the bloated vampirish cancer industry. Each cancer
patient means $150,000 to the industry. Those who benefit financially will
never willingly allow this golden goose to be choked off. The media are
toadies to the drug pushers, and never allow contrary opinions to be aired.
> 9. Is it true that fermentation can not take place in an oxygen rich
environment?
No. Fermentation survives best in an anerobic state, but eventually, the
structure gets so lost from the original plan, that grotesque deformities
are produced. In wine and cheesemaking, this is seen in a slowing of the
process. A whiff of oxygen is allowed to enter, and this revitalizes the
yeast cells, which resume high growth rates. The same process happens in
cancer cells, as Dr. Warburg pointed out. This addition of a temporary
supply of oxygen to 'right' the reaction is known as the Pasteur effect, for
it was old Louis who discovered it. This is why hyperbaric oxygen is
contraindicated for cancer.
Ozone treatment, on the other hand, has no such effect. The cancer cells are
too busy making enzymes to suppress appetite, and to attack their neighbor's
cell walls, and to grow new blood vessels to supply sugar, and too weak to
make antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase,
catalase and reductase). Therefore they are wide open to oxidative attack
from ozone, which swiftly blows a hole in the cancer cell wall (lysis). No
cancer cell can stand up to this, and ozone swiftly cuts them down, without
damaging good cells, which all have their antioxidant enzyme protectors
intact. And ozone can zero in on each and every one of the cancer cells,
because of their opposite charge as compared to healthy cells. The surgeon
with his clumsy knife may say 'I got it all', but he cannot see individual
cells, whereas to a molecule of ozone, a cell is as big as the Titanic to an
icecube.
Best of all, ozone can destroy cells that are fermenting their sugar before
they start to grow into tumors. And it can oxidize and eliminate the toxins
that cause the respiratory restriction that results in the production of
fermenting cells in the first place. Ozone's great God-given power is the
answer to cancer at all stages : terminal (in combination with the power of
hyperthermia in the sauna); metastatic (where it can clean up every cell
that has strayed from the original mass); and prevention (eliminating
fermenting cells which have no antioxidant protection, and oxidizing the
toxins that lead to cellular hypoxia). No wonder the forces of darkness in
America have persecuted ozone for 67 years!
