PROTOCEL™ (ENTELEV™/CANCELL™)

 
So this is now my 5th article in the series of presenting to you a few non-toxic natural alternative cancer treatments. This article will be dedicated to a treatment called Protocel®. Unlike the previous treatments mentioned, Protocel® is a chemical formula (totally natural however), which was developed at by a scientist called Jim Sheridan (Michigan USA), between 1936 and the 1990’s and who was very profound in his Christian faith.

Sheridan had initially called his product by the scientific name KC49, however he later changed the name to “Entelev®” (taken from the Greek word ‘entelechy’ meaning ‘that part of man known only to God’) since he believed that the basic idea for the formula was a direct gift from God through a dream which he had after many years of prayers (Jim was a devout Christian and constantly prayed for God to direct his steps and give him the ability to use his intellect for the good of all mankind. He also prayed to find a cure for cancer). It was later on renamed “Cancell®” and is now currently being sold as “Protocel®”. They are all one and the same product. Protocel® however has 2 formulas Protocel 23® (the former Entelev®) and Protocel 50® (the former cancel). When he could not get his formula approved, he gave the product away fro free (this was the magnitude of his altruism).

Protocel® is possibly the only alternative treatment with so many documented success stories. Tanya Harter Pierce in her book “Outsmart Your Cancer” has quite a few success case stories in chapter 10 of her book. Here is one of them below:

Case Story #4 – Breast Cancer Metastasized to Bones
  
     "A story of breast cancer metastasized to the bones was told to me by a woman named Roberta. Roberta was 65 years old when I spoke with her, but when she was only 41, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. This was in October 1979. Back in those days, doctors didn’t do lumpectomies, they just went straight to mastectomy. So she underwent a mastectomy immediately after her diagnosis and, during the surgery, five of her lymph nodes were removed to see if the cancer had already metastasized. Unfortunately, it had.  After the surgery, Roberta was treated for about six months with chemotherapy and toward the end of that period, she also went through a three-week round of radiation.
    Roberta went through the full treatment regimen that her doctor had planned for her.  But after completing it, she started having some physical problems as a result of the chemotherapy and the radiation.  One of the problems was that, as a result of the radiation being targeted near her throat, Roberta began having serious difficulty swallowing. The other problem was that she suddenly developed insulin-dependent diabetes. The last development was quite a surprise, since she had never suffered from any sort of diabetes before, nor had she shown the signs that she was starting to develop it.
     After receiving the lumpectomy, chemo, and radiation, Roberta was given a bone scan. But the results showed that the cancer was not gone and had, instead, metastasized to her bones with spots on her clavicle and ribs. Luckily for Roberta, she had heard about Entelev® and had already started taking it. Her doctor didn’t think the Entelev® would do her any good but didn’t discourage her from taking it.
     A couple of months after her first bone scan, Roberta was given a second scan. This time the suspicious spots had reduced in size considerably. For a number of months more, Roberta did nothing in terms of treatment except take Entelev®. In those days there wasn’t as much known about the effects of diet or supplements on cancer, and so she didn’t take any other nutritional supplements or do anything different with her diet at all.  She stayed on the Entelev® until all of her scans and blood tests were completely normal and the doctors couldn’t find evidence of any cancer whatsoever.  Then she continued to take the formula for a few months more just to be sure. She hasn’t had a recurrence of her cancer since. Roberta has been monitored regularly by a cancer specialist for the past 23 years, and all her tests have continued to be normal."
 
How does Protocel® work?
This is best decribed by Ty Bollinger in his book “Cancer Step Outside the Box” as follows:

Protocel™ is the world’s most effective free radical scavenger (antioxidant). It is designed to specifically target anaerobic cells in the body by interfering with the production of ATP energy in all of the cells in your body, which in turn lowers the voltage of each cell by between 10% and 20%. The reason that I say that Protocel™ targets anaerobic (i.e., cancer) cells is simple. All the cells of our body have a specific voltage, or electrical charge. Healthy cells have a very high voltage, while unhealthy (anaerobic) cells have a very low voltage, due to the fact that they produce energy via fermentation. The slight reduction in voltage causes anaerobic cancer cells to shift downward to a point below the minimum that they need to remain intact, thus the cells basically selfdestruct and break apart, or “lyse” into harmless proteins. The healthy cells of the body typically have such a high normal voltage that the slight reduction in voltage caused by Protocel™ does not harm them.

The process by which our cells produce and distribute energy is called cellular “respiration” or “metabolism.” Most people think of respiration as breathing, but every living cell in the body is technically involved in respiration, because the term “respiration” also refers to a chemical reaction in a cell which involves oxygen and which provides energy to the cell. Crucial to the respiratory system of each cell in our body is a process called “reduction oxidation,” also referred to as the “redox” system. According to Jim Sheridan, “This system can be thought of as a ladder, with a different chemical reaction taking place on each step…the bottom steps of the ladder involve relatively simple or ‘primitive’ respiratory reactions. The primitive reactions at the bottom of the ladder take place without oxygen being present. The higher respiratory reactions require the presence of oxygen. Generally, for reduction you move down the ladder. For oxidation you move up the ladder.”

Protocel™ was designed to take advantage of the fact that the cancer cell is “straddling the fence” by acting like a catechol, inhibiting respiration at the critical point and effectively forcing the cell to move further down the respiration ladder; so it is completely into the primitive stage. Once the cell is entirely in the primitive stage, the body recognizes it and will attack and dispose of it naturally. In some places (like the brain) the body will form a crust like membrane around the primitive cells. There will be the tumor but it is dead and enclosed. In other places (skin cancer) the body will effectively digest it in a process called lysis (selfdigestion). But won’t a decrease in cellular respiration also damage normal cells? Plain and simply, the answer is “no.” Remember, normal cells are working well within their potential to produce energy as they are near the top of the respiration ladder. Since normal cells work at such a high level of the redox system, if their respiration potential is reduced somewhat, it is no real problem for them. According to James Sheridan, “No special diet is required … However, do not take mega doses of vitamins C and E while taking Entelev/Cancell. The chemical make up of these two vitamins shifts the point on the OxidationReduction ladder where Entelev/Cancell works. Since Entelev/Cancell was designed to hit hardest at the ‘critical point,’ any shift will reduce the effectiveness of Entelev/Cancell.” http://alternativecancer.us/how.htm#diet

There is a whole lot more to be learnt about Protocel so if there is anyone out there who would like to give it (or any other alternative treatment) a try, I would definitely suggest further reading of the two books quoted from above and listed under the sources below.

GRAPES & RESVERATROL

- Natural Cancer cure
 
In keeping my promise to you, this is the 4th article in the series of presenting some natural non-toxic alternative cancer treatments. Unfortunately many cancer patients only seek alternative treatments for cancer after they have been ‘slashed’ (surgery); ‘poisoned’ (chemo); or ‘burned’ (radiation) by conventional medicine and then left to die in a hospice. For them, these natural treatments will still work but the success rate will not be at the 90+% rate that it could have been if the natural treatment was used from the very beginning. This is a point that should be carefully noted.

This week I am featuring the powerful natural healing compound found in grapes called Resveratrol. In the early 1920’s Johanna Brandt of South Africa declared that she cured her stomach cancer with what she calls ‘The Grape Cure’ and later on she wrote a book revealing the specifics of exactly how she rid herself of this cancer. You will therefore hear this alternative treatment referred to as “The Brandt Grape Cure” in the alternative circles. It was in later years however that Resveratrol was unearthed. Resveratrol is also a powerful anti-aging compound and it is good for other conditions such as nerve cells repair and cardiovascular health.

Here are some Author’s Quotes on Resveratrol, which I have taken from the Natural News website:

Virtually every pathway for tumor growth and propagation is blocked by resveratrol. Researchers appear to have developed a consensus that low concentrations of resveratrol cannot only counteract tumor initiation but can inhibit tumor cell survival. Resveratrol targets the very machinery inside cells that promote tumor cell survival. It appears to be able to concentrate its action on tumor cells rather than healthy cells. Resveratrol has also has the ability to induce cancer cells, but not normal cells, to die off. 
- You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore by Bill Sardi


Anderson Cancer Center reviewed dozens of studies on resveratrol and concluded that it exhibited anticancer properties against a widerange of tumor cells, including lymphoid and myeloid cancers, multiple myeloma, cancers of the breast, prostate, stomach, colon, pancreas, and thyroid, melanoma, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, ovarian, carcinoma, and cervical carcinoma. The researchers concluded that"resveratrol appears to exhibit therapeutic effects against cancer." Resveratrol may be one of the best antiaging substances around.
- The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What You Should Eat and Why by Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S.

This may also be why resveratrol has such powerful research showing it not only prevents cancer, but may actually be considered as a treatment. resveratrol stops cancer in a variety of ways, from blocking estrogens and androgens to modulating genes. It has even shown a 30-71 percent ability to block bone metastasis. resveratrol appears to moderate the body's detrimental inflammatory response to injury of the brain and spinal cord. It has also been shown to protect on many levels, including the antioxidant level, against heart and blood vessel disease.
- Spiritual Nutrition: Six Foundations for Spiritual Life and the Awakening of Kundalini by Gabriel Cousens, M.D.

An 8-ounce glass of red wine provides approximately 640 mcg of resveratrol, while a handful of peanuts provides about 73 mcg of resveratrol. Resveratrol supplements (often found in combination with grape extracts or other antioxidants) are generally taken in the amount of 200-600 mcg per day. This is far less than the amount used in animal studies to prevent cancer : equivalent to more than 500 mg (500,000 meg) per day for an average-sized human.
- The Natural Pharmacy: Complete A-Z Reference to Natural Treatments for Common Health Conditions byAlan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V. Wright, M.D., Forrest Batz, Pharm.D., Rick Chester, RPh., N.D., DipLAc. George Constantine, R.Ph., Ph.D.Linnea D. Thompson, Pharm.D.,

Red grapes produce a phytochemical called resveratrol, which protects them from ultraviolet radiation, fungus infections, and other stressors. Resveratrol activates anti-aging genes that stimulate the production of proteins that circulate in your body, throwing overboard cells that aren't pulling their weight and rejuvenating cells damaged by Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs). But don't rush out to the health food store to buy resveratrol capsules, which are generally worthless because resveratrol is inactivated by exposure to oxygen.
- Dr. Gundry's Diet Evolution: Turn Off the Genes That Are Killing You - And Your Waistline - And Drop the Weight for Good by Dr. Steven R. Gundry


Research highlights a number of resveratrol effects relevant to the cardiovascular system: Antioxidant, Inhibits peroxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), Reduces platelet aggregation. Resveratrol has also been shown to function as a cancer chemopreventive agent. Such agents reduce the incidence of tumorigenesis by intervening at one or more of the stages of carcinogenesis. In research, resveratrol demonstrated chemopreventive activity in assays representing three major stages of carcinogenesis: initiation, promotion, and progression.
- Medical Herbalism: The Science Principles and Practices Of Herbal Medicine by David Hoffman, FNIMH, AHG

Other researchers are impressed with the range of activity that resveratrol appears to have against cancer, and some believe that there may be even more powerful agents to be found in fruits and vegetables. Thomas W. Kensler of the Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health said that the resveratrol discovery "provides the scientific underpinnings" for studies that have found health benefits from grapes and wine. Grapeseed extract is a commercial grape formulation that does not contain resveratrol.

MANGOSTEEN

The Natural Cancer Cure
 
This is the 3rd article in the series of presenting some natural cancer cures as alternative cancer treatments.

The Mangosteen is a fruit that is grown in South East Asia and has a huge amount of health benefits (not only for cancer). It is packed with over 40 xanthones and one of those in particular has been proven to be excellent at shrinking tumours and getting rid of cancer cells. If you decide to try it however make sure to get the juice (not the tablets) as liquids have over 98% absorption rates as opposed to only 48% or so from tablets. The following is taken directly from the Cancer Tutor website:

TREATMENT RATING: While there are those who consider Mangosteen to be a primary cancer treatment, this Cancer Tutor website considers Mangosteen to be a primary cancer treatment only for newly diagnosed cancer patients. For advanced cancer patients this treatment is considered a highly recommended supplemental protocol!! Mangosteen provides critical nutrients to the non-cancerous cells and will likely kill many cancer cells. But this website does not consider it strong enough to be a primary treatment for advanced cancer patients.
Chapter on Treatments Rated For Advanced Cancer Patients

How It Works
Various studies have shown that phytoceuticals in Mangosteen (in some cases known to be its xanthones) have properties such as: anti-tumor (shrinks tumors), anti-leukemia, antifungal (critical for all cancer patients), antibacterial (to protect DNA), antioxidants (at least two dozen different kinds of xanthones are in the mangosteen fruit), antiproliferation, kills cancer cells and causes apoptosis (programmed cell death) for some types of cancer. This is a pretty impressive list of cancer credentials!
Mangosteen Treatment
In keeping with the superb anti-cancer properties of many kinds of fruits, especially grapes and berries, mangosteen can be added to this exclusive list.
The mangosteen fruit (Garcinia mangostana L.) is grown in Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, India and several other countries. Most of the scientific research on this fruit involves about a half dozen of the two dozen known xanthones in this fruit. Most of the xanthones in Mangosteen have yet to be researched. Mangosteen has a wide range of benefits, perhaps most result from its xanthone phytoceuticals/antioxidants. However, mangosteen also contains: catechins, polyphenols, minerals and vitamins.
As an antioxidant, mangosteen is very high among plants:
  • "A new laboratory test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) has also shown that an ounce of mangosteen juice has 20 to 30 times the ability to absorb free radicals than one ounce of most fruits and vegetables. The ORAC test is one of the most accurate ways to measure the ability of antioxidants in a certain substance to absorb free radicals. The higher the ORAC score, the better the food is for the body."
    Site is Down
Here are some of the xanthones in mangosteen:
alpha-Mangostin
beta-Mangostin
3-Isomangostin
Mangostanol
Gertanin
Garcinone A
Garcinone B
Garcinone C
Garcinone D
Garcinone E
Maclurin
In terms of direct studies on cancer, the following quote is related to cancer:
  • "We found that antiproliferative effect of CME [crude methanolic extract] was associated with apoptosis on breast cancer cell line by determinations of morphological changes and oligonucleosomal DNA fragments. In addition, CME at various concentrations and incubation times were also found to inhibit ROS production. These investigations suggested that the methanolic extract from the pericarp [skin] of Garcinia mangostana had strong antiproliferation, potent antioxidation and induction of apoptosis. Thus, it indicates that this substance can show different activities and has potential for cancer chemoprevention which were dose dependent as well as exposure time dependent."
    "Antiproliferation, antioxidation and induction of apoptosis by Garcinia mangostana (mangosteen) on SKBR3 human breast cancer cell line," by Moongkarndi P, Kosem N, Kaslungka S, Luanratana O, Pongpan N, Neungton N.
Heres is another study:
  • "Our results have shown that one of the xanthone derivatives which could be identified as garcinone E has potent cytotoxic effect on all HCC cell lines as well as on other gastric and lung cancer cell lines included in the screen. We suggest that garcinone E may be potentially useful for the treatment of certain types of cancer."
    "Garcinone E, a Xanthone Derivative, has Potent Cytotoxic Effect Against Hepatocellular Carcinome Cell Lines" by Chi-Kuan Ho, Yu-Ling Huang and Chieh-Chih Chen
Some of the more impressive research on mangosteen involve leukemia:
  • "We examined the effects of six xanthones from the pericarps of mangosteen, Garcinia mangostana, on the cell growth inhibition of human leukemia cell line HL60. All xanthones displayed growth inhibitory effects. Among them, alpha-mangostin showed complete inhibition at 10 microM through the induction of apoptosis."
    "Induction of apoptosis by xanthones from mangosteen in human leukemia cell lines," by Matsumoto K, Akao Y, Kobayashi E, Ohguchi K, Ito T, Tanaka T, Iinuma M, Nozawa Y.

One of the nice things about mangosteen is not only that it tastes good, but is also anti-diarrhoeal, meaning you are not likely to get diarrhoea from drinking too much Mangosteen.
Here is how to get totally unbiased information about Mangosteen (from Dr. Duke):
This is the world famous Dr. Duke's Agricultural Research Service:
1) Click on this website: http://www.ars-grin.gov/duke/
2) Click on Chemicals and activities,
3) Select 'Common Name' then type in 'mangosteen' in the search box,
4) Select 'Print chemical activities after chemicals' then Submit Query. Read all the way down the page.
Important Comments
Important Warning: Due to the fact that many cancer patients have liver damage, frequently due to chemotherapy, and due to the fact that high doses of this product may, in rare cases, contribute to liver damage; doses of this product should not exceed 3 or 4 ounces a day. Those who already have liver damage should avoid this product.
An alternative cancer treatment should be a complete treatment protocol. Do NOT forget to study the complete treatment protocol for Stage I, II and III cancer patients and the complete treatment protocol for Stage IV cancer patients:
Treatment For Stage I, II and III Cancer Patients
Treatment For Stage IV Cancer Patients

Here are other links that have quite a few testimonials of persons who have been cured from cancer by using Mangosteen:
