Alternative Cancer Research and Programs
We are happy to report that alternative cancer research is well underway in various parts of the
U.S. and world!
Current and Ongoing Research with Poly-MVA
Promising study results on Poly-MVA are already in from The Foundation for Advancement in Cancer Research, located in El Cajon, California which you can read in detail on their website. FACR gathers data on an ongoing basis from patients who voluntarily:
1. Refuse any conventional treatment and take only Poly-MVA
2. Take Poly-MVA with conventional treatment who have previously failed conventional treatment
3. Take Poly-MVA alone after failing conventional treatment
4. Take Poly-MVA with a conventional treatment with a very poor success rate
Patients are monitored closely for the duration of the case study with customary lab and imaging data. The patient may withdraw from the study at any time and elect to use conventional treatment. For those patients with financial hardship, Poly-MVA is available with assistance from Charity Research Organizations. http://www.facr.org/research.html

Kanzius Cancer Research Foundation
Lead researcher at the Kanzius Cancer Research Foundation, Steven Curley, MD will continue the work of the late John Kanzius at a lab at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, which is dedicated specifically to the anti-cancer invention of Kanzius who died in 2009 just as his invention was headed for final clinical evaluation. With the continued dedication of the Rutkowski family of Erie, PA, who have devoted countless hours towards this mission, they are confident that someday John’s dream will become a reality. Your continued support will help to ensure his legacy. (Be sure to watch the videos on this site.) http://www.kanziuscancerresearch.com/
Dogs Excel on Smell Test to Find Cancer
In the small world of people who train dogs to sniff cancer, a little-known Northern California clinic has made a big claim: that it has trained five dogs -- three Labradors and two Portuguese water dogs -- to detect lung cancer in the breath of cancer sufferers with 99 percent accuracy.
The study was based on well-established concepts. It has been known since the 80's that tumors exude tiny amounts of alkanes and benzene derivatives not found in healthy tissue.
Other researchers have shown that dogs, whose noses can pick up odors in the low parts-per-billion range, can be trained to detect skin cancers or react differently to dried urine from healthy people and those with bladder cancer, but never with such remarkable consistency.
The near-perfection in the clinic's study, as Dr. Donald Berry, the chairman of biostatistics at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, put it, ''is off the charts: there are no laboratory tests as good as this, not Pap tests, not diabetes tests, nothing.''

Resveratrol and Breast Cancer
July 7, 2008 -- Resveratrol, a nutrient found in red wine, keeps estrogen from causing breast cancer in test-tube studies. Prolonged exposure to estrogen is a major risk factor for breast cancer. Most research has focused on the interactions between estrogen and estrogen receptors on breast cancer cells.
But when the body's system for processing estrogen gets out of balance, dangerous estrogen metabolites appear. These toxic compounds react with DNA in breast cells and jump-start the growth of tumors.
Now Eleanor G. Rogan, PhD, and colleagues at the University of Nebraska show that resveratrol decreases the processing of estrogen into these dangerous compounds. Perhaps more importantly, it also blocks interactions between estrogen metabolites and cellular DNA.
And that's not all. Rogan's team finds that resveratrol increases production of an enzyme that destroys dangerous estrogen metabolites. "Resveratrol has the ability to prevent the first step that occurs when estrogen starts the process that leads to cancer," Rogan says in a news release. "We believe that this could stop the whole progression that leads to breast cancer down the road."
The Rogan team's findings come from studies of human breast cells grown in the laboratory. It's a long way from showing that resveratrol can actually prevent cancer in women.

DCA and How It Works
Dichloroacetic acid is a small molecule, basically acetic acid with 2 chlorines. The molecular formula is Cl2CHCOOH.
Dichloroacetate is the sodium salt of dichloroacetic acid. Replace a hydrogen with sodium and you get Cl2CHCOONa
If you view the video from CTV you will see a jar of dichloroacetic acid prominently displayed. http://www.depmed.ualberta.ca/dca/vid1.htm is well worth watching. But they used a “cheap ...powder”. Dichloroacetic acid only comes in liquid. The powder is the sodium salt of dichloroacetic acid. It is sodium dichloroacetate. The researchers did not use the acid.
For those of you searching for DCA, do not buy the acid. I posted info on the FAQ about it. The acid is not the same thing as the acetate. The acid is dangerously corrosive.
How does DCA work, briefly? The Michelakis team reports that DCA turns on the mitochondria of cancer cells, allowing them to commit cellular suicide, or apoptosis. Cancer cells shut down the mitochondria, which is the part of the cell that is involved in metabolism and, incidentally, initiates the cell suicide.
A non-cancerous cell will initiate apoptosis when it detects damage within itself that it cannot repair. But a cancer cell resists the suicide process. That is why chemotherapy and radiation treatments do not work very well and actually result in terrible side effects… the healthy cells actually die much easier.
Michelakis and his team discovered that they could re-activate the mitochondria of cancer cells. Not only that, the DCA is very effective in doing it: To quote from the Michelakis paper: “The decrease in [Ca2+]i occurs within 5 min and is sustained after 48 hr of DCA exposure.” The mitochondria are so sensitive to DCA that just 5 minutes of exposure reactivates them for 48 hours.

Cancer Cover Up
Mass spectrographic and isotope studies have shown that potassium, rubidium, and especially cesium are most efficiently taken up by cancer cells. This uptake was enhanced by Vitamins A and C as well as salts of zinc and selenium. The quantity of cesium taken up was sufficient to raise the cell to the 8 pH range.
Where cell mitosis ceases and the life of the cell is short. Tests on mice fed cesium and rubidium showed marked shrinkage in the tumor masses within 2 weeks. In addition, the mice showed none of the side effects of cancer. Tests have been carried out on over 30 humans. In each case the tumor masses disappeared. Also all pains and effects associated with cancer disappeared within 12 to 36 hr; the more chemotherapy and morphine the patient had taken, the longer the withdrawal period. Studies of the food intake in areas where the incidences of cancer are very low showed that it met the requirements for the high pH therapy.
