The Treatment of Stage IV Cancers

Chapter 9: The Stage IV Treatments

Introduction

Of the 400+ alternative cancer treatments, only a few are rated "Stage IV" treatments, meaning they give an advanced cancer patient real hope for survival. Obviously, their chance of survival depends heavily on their condition at the start of the treatment.

However, families who are accustomed to dealing with orthodox cancer treatments frequently have no clue how fast-acting and powerful the best of the alternative cancer treatments really are. Thus, it is common for a family to underestimate the power of the alternative cancer treatments and thus underestimate the chances for a cancer patient to survive.

Likewise, it is also common for a family to underestimate the strength of the cancer, and thus use a treatment which is too weak for the situation. If the patient has had extensive chemotherapy and/or radiation it is almost a certainty the patient will need one of the "Stage IV" treatments.

Read ALL of the treatment articles linked to in this section at least twice before making a decision as to which treatment to use. There are advantages and disadvantages to each treatment.

As far as costs are concerned, cancer patients who use orthodox cancer treatments think nothing about spending $500,000 for worthless orthodox treatments. Then they turn right around and complain an alternative cancer treatment costs $500 a month even though it is 30 times more effective than orthodox treatments. What is wrong with this picture?

Also, on the left side-bar of this web page are links to articles for specific types of cancer. Read all of the "type of cancer" articles (e.g. lung cancer, brain cancer, etc.) which apply to your situation.

If, after reading about each treatment twice, and each applicable "type of cancer article," you still cannot decide on which treatment to use, then pick the default treatment: the Cellect-Budwig Protocol. This protocol has been shown to be effective on every type of cancer it has been used on and it does not cause any type of swelling or inflammation. This does not mean, however, that it is the best treatment for every situation.

For those who cannot afford any of these treatments, there is an article on inexpensive treatments which is linked to in the side-bar.

Here are the Stage IV treatments:

The Cellect-Budwig Protocol

This treatment was designed to do three key things. First, it was designed to start protecting the non-cancerous cells very, very quickly. Second, it was designed to get rid of cancer cells without creating any kind of inflammation or swelling. Third, this treatment was designed to create an inner-terrain which stops the spread of the cancer. In other words, this treatment was designed with very advanced cancer patients in mind. It starts working within days.

As an added bonus, this treatment usually shrinks tumors significantly within several weeks.

Both the Cellect powder and the Budwig Diet help protect the non-cancerous cells. Fish oil capsules come with the Cellect.

Cost: About $370 a month, depending on doses of Cellect.

Advantages: Works very fast, is very potent and does not cause any type of inflammation or swelling. It can be used with chemotherapy. The audio CD or audio files, which are required as part of this protocol, are outstanding at teaching a family exactly how to safely and effectively use this protocol. In addition, Mike Vrentas is available for consultations if information is needed for an unusual situation.

Disadvantages: Because this treatment is so potent, as with any potent treatment, the patient or their caregiver needs to do a little more homework than with other protocols. Fortunately, the audio tapes provide the information, so it is only necessary to listen to them very carefully two or three times.

Working With an Expert For This Treatment

Mike Vrentas is the alternative cancer researcher who put together the Cellect-Budwig Protocol. Because of his limited time he has developed an audio book. These audio files include very detailed information about the protocol and, for example, detailed options for dealing with the toxic load of all potent alternative cancer treatments. His five and a half hours of audio files are available as downloadable files (by using broadbrand) or as a set of CDs. Even though the audio files are very inexpensive, the benefit they provide is essential to the patient. When needed, Mike also provides telephone consultations.

The Cesium Chloride / DMSO Protocol (i.e. the Essense of Life Protocol)

This treatment has been around for more than 30 years. It is the most flexible treatment and has the overall best long-term track record of any other alternative cancer treatment. It can be taken through the skin (e.g. for those on feeding tubes) or in some cases it can be taken orally. It can be taken by those still on chemotherapy (in some cases it is synergistic with chemotherapy), and so on.

This is the required treatment for those with bone cancer (unless another type of cancer takes precedence).

This treatment generally starts working as fast as any other treatment protocol. It is also excellent at shrinking tumors quickly. It also deals with the causes of many types of pain.

Another advantage to this protocol is that a more generous "cancer diet" is allowed because the cesium chloride and potassium block glucose from getting inside the cancer cells. This means more foods with glucose are allowed on this treatment. The expanded "cancer diet" allows patients to have more nutritious foods during their treatment.

Also, for cachexia patients it should be noted that when using cesium chloride, ATP can be used to block cachexia (ATP converts lactic acid into glucose, thus taking a large burden off the liver). When doing this cachexia is blocked two different ways (the second way is that cesium chloride blocks the cancer cells from making lactic acid). ATP also increases the energy of weak cancer patients almost immediately.

Also, for those with cachexia the recommended vendor for this protocol also sells the best hydrazine sulfate product available in the U.S. For those outside of the U.S. any compound pharmacist can make hydrazine sulfate. H.S. is critical because it blocks the cachexia cycle or lactic acid cycle at the liver.

In fact, ANY cancer patient who has cachexia (i.e. they have lost their appetite) should contact Essense of Life for hydrazine sulfate even if their primary treatment is not cesium chloride!!

This treatment is critical to alternative medicine because many oncologists are keeping cancer patients on chemotherapy and radiation far longer than they used to, thus there is a growing need for treatments that do not require the ability to consume and digest large numbers of supplements.

It is absolutely essential to use the remission treatment when your vendor tells you to quit taking the cesium chloride (i.e. your vendor has decided you have reached your "cesium limit"). This is because you may hit your "cesium limit" before all of your cancer cells are removed.

For patients who have had significant chemotherapy, this protocol should be followed by one of the other "Stage IV" protocols because it will take many months to rebuild the immune system after the damage done by chemotherapy.

Cost: Between $600 and $900 up front, and between $300 and $400 per month for refills. Newer technologies, when necessary, may add to this cost.

Advantages: Works fast, very proven treatment for a wide range of situations. Excellent telephone support if you use Larry of Essense of Life (spelling is correct). This treatment can be taken with chemotherapy.

Disadvantages: Perhaps the biggest disadvantage is that this treatment may cause some temporary swelling and inflammation. For most situations, this is not a problem, but for some kinds of cancer, especially brain cancer or lung cancer, this can be an issue. When swelling may be an issue, the vendor may suggest lower doses of cesium chloride or may suggest adding another supplement designed to reduce inflammation and swelling.

While there are several people who sell cesium chloride, Larry of Essense of Life clearly has the most experience with the most kinds of cancer. If you purchase your materials from him the consultations are free. Here is his website for contact information (leave your phone number):

Bill Henderson Protocol

Like the Cellect-Budwig Protocol, the Bill Henderson treatment is based on the Budwig Protocol. The Bill Henderson Protocol does not cause nearly as much inflammation and swelling as other treatments, if it creates any at all. Like the Cellect-Budwig Protocol, it is a critical treatment of choice for just this reason.

Once the Budwig Diet is started it likely will need to be continued for life; but at lower than theraputic doses. This is actually a good thing because the Budwig helps prevent Alzheimers, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and a host of other diseases.

Like all good alternative cancer treatments, the Bill Henderson protocol includes an extremely rigid diet that the cancer patient must follow! Also, Bill has studied many different brands of supplements, it is absolutely critical to use the brands he recommends (he does not sell any supplements or receive any commissions).

Bill Henderson's complete protocol can be found in chapter 5 of his book: Cancer-Free - Your Guide to Gentle, Non-Toxic Healing. It is available as an eBook on his website (if you need it immediately) or on Amazon.
Bill Henderson's Book

For those on a tight budget, this treatment is the least expensive of all of the "Stage IV" treatments.

Cost: Less than $225 a month (Bill Henderson does not sell any of the products).

Advantages: There are really two key things which treat the cancer. First, the cancer diet. Second, the Budwig protocol. The cancer diet works very quickly to start treating the cancer. The cancer diet, and the supplements, "buy time" for the rest of the treatment. It causes little or no inflammation or swelling.

Disadvantages: Perhaps the biggest disadvantage of this treatment is that it cannot be combined with many other alternative cancer treatments (e.g. cesium chloride) because of a potential conflict with the actions of the Budwig Diet. Do not add anything to the Bill Henderson Protocol without his approval (and don't bug him to death either, read his book).

The LifeOne Protocol of Dr. Howenstine, M.D.

This protocol uses a very effective product called LifeOne as its main treatment.

Dr. Howenstine M.D., was trained in America, but now lives in Costa Rica. He generally works with cancer patients by telephone. He can work with all kinds of cancers using the LifeOne product and other substances as needed.

If a person has not had chemotherapy or radiation, LifeOne works unusually quickly in patients with hepatoma, ovarian cancer, squamous cell cancer, cervical cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, lymphoma and pancreatic cancer. These patients may feel better in 2 weeks and can be much better in 4 to 6 weeks.

For patients who have had chemotherapy and/or radiation, the treatment takes longer to become effective and other supplements are needed.

One thing to note is that if you have any concerns about your local doctor's diagnosis, or if you have a type of cancer which involves hormone issues, male or female, then this is the treatment you should use! Dr. Howenstine is an expert in these issues and also consults with other experts in these fields.
LifeOne Protocol

Cost: Unknown.

Advantages: Has been in use for more than two years so it has a long track record by the standards of avante guarde alternative cancer treatments.

Disadvantages: Does cause significant swelling and inflammation where the cancer is located. While it would be nice to work with Dr. Howenstine face-to-face, and this is possible if you wish to travel to Costa Rica, he is used to working with cancer patients over the phone.

Working With an Expert For This Treatment

Contact Dr. Howenstine by email, but he is not a typist, so simply give your telephone number, country or state, time zone and a little about your cancer. Costa Rica is in the Mountain Time Zone. He charges by the hour and uses an Internet telephone service which is very inexpensive.

Tony Isaacs Oleander Protocol

I have been watching the development of oleander for several years. For a long time you had to make a oleander soup at home, using oleander plants. But now safe oleander pills are available!!

Due to the massive research efforts of Tony Isaacs, and several others, oleander has slowly climbed to a Stage IV level cancer treatment. A cancer patient no longer has to make the product at home and a reliable and inexpensive vendor is available.

The product comes out of South Africa because it is also used as a cure for AIDS. However, the product can now be purchased in America.

While oleander itself does not protect the non-cancerous cells, the complete protocol of Tony Isaacs has a wealth of products to support the immune system, the non-cancerous cells and the organs. For example, oleander and the support products offer:
Tremendous immune boosting ability (six times that of the strongest patented immune stimulators)
Inhibition of angiogenesis (the growth of tumors)
Inhibition of the NF-kB factor in cancer cells
Induction of apoptosis, or normal cell death, in cancer cells, and
Induction and enhancement of autophagic cancer cell death (which was tested against pancreatic cancer cells)

In addition, oleander does potentiate chemotherapy and radiation when used as a CAM therapy. It either eliminates or greatly lessens ALL known side effects of chemo and lessens those of radiation (with the lone exception being hair loss when the chemo drug of choice is Cisplatin).

In many cases, a caregiver of a cancer patient wants to put a cancer patient on an alternative cancer treatment, but the cancer patient refuses. Most alternative cancer treatments cannot be disguised. One of the interesting things about the oleander protocol is that a cancer patient can take this treatment without even knowing they are taking a potent alternative cancer treatment! The oleander pills and other supplements can be added without the cancer patient even realizing it!!

Cost: About $60 a month for the main product. Unknown cost for supplemental products.

Advantages: Can be used with chemo and radiation. Very inexpensive. After years of research it is now a highly stable and very effective treatment. Very good support from multiple people on the Yahoo health group "Oleandersoup."

Disadvantages: The major disadvantage of this protocol is that it is not strong enough for very advanced cancer patients who only have about a month to live. This protocol does not start working as quickly as some of the other protocols and those with about a month to live might be better off with the Cellect-Budwig Protocol or Cesium Chloride Protocol which start to work very quickly.

The Brandt Grape Cure with Cellect - Using Black, Red or Purple Grapes

The Brandt Grape Cure has been around since the early 1920s and was probably used in various forms for hundreds of years before that. It is the oldest cancer treatment that is still commonly used.

While the original Brandt Grape Cure was strong enough for most situations, it has recently been "supercharged" with newly developed supplements and is now a true "Stage IV" protocol.

The Brandt Grape Cure article (linked to in a moment) talks about two different ways to use this treatment. First, by using black, red or purple grapes to create a mush or Second, by substituting a vegetable juice for the grapes. Only the first method, using the black, red or purple grapes, is rated "Stage IV." The vegetable juice method is only rated as a Strong Stage III treatment.

The Brandt Grape Cure is considered a "juice fast." What this means is that absolutely no foods or liquids (other than a quality water) are allowed to be used with this treatment. The reason for this is that when a person is on a "juice fast," the cancer cells have no source of food except for the grape mush. This is good because red, black and purple grapes contain more than a dozen cancer-killing nutrients.

In other words, the only thing your cancer cells get to eat is poisonous. But grapes are healthy for non-cancerous cells. Thus, this treatment effectively targets cancer cells (i.e. it only damages cancer cells).

It is not yet known whether this treatment will create any type of swelling, inflammation or congestion, so to be safe, if you would be at risk if there were significant swelling, inflammation or congestion, do not use this treatment. However, it is doubtful it does create swelling, etc. because grapes are a superb detox.

An interesting thing about grape juice is that microbes cannot survive in grape juice for more than a few seconds. Whether the Brandt Grape Cure kills any microbes inside of cancer cells, allowing the cells to revert to being normal, is an unanswered question.

Because of the volume of grapes you will consume, it is absolutely required that you use organic grapes. Normal grapes are notorious for having a lot of pesticides put on them.

Regardless of what the Brandt Grape Cure article says, for Stage IV cancer patients they should go on the "juice fast" for 6 straight weeks.

After that 6 weeks is over, the cancer patient has two options. First, eat healthy foods for two weeks, then go on the Brandt Grape Cure for another 6 weeks. Then they can go on the remission treatment.

The second option is to go directly to the remission treatment, which means the Bob Beck Protocol, then the Bill Henderson Protocol, etc. See the remission article below.

Cellect has been added to this protocol, mainly because the Brandt Grape Cure by itself does not appear to be as potent as it once was. Perhaps this is because the nutrients have been leeched from the soil over the decades.

This is a very proven treatment and is something to seriously consider if you have the will-power, especially with the addition of Cellect.

Remember, substituting vegetable juice for the grapes is not considered a "Stage IV" treatment.

Cost: Free if you use only the grapes because they replace your regular food expenses. If you add Cellect it is at most $400 a month.

Advantages: This treatment has been around for many decades. It comes with its own detox and is simple to use.

Disadvantages: Many people cannot obtain the required organic grapes year around. An important thing to keep in mind with the treatment is that it takes 3 or 4 weeks to start to become effective. For those with an estimated 8 weeks to live, or less, this treatment may not work fast enough. For cancer patients who are extremely weak and have already lost a lot of weight, this treatment may not be the right choice because they may need a macrobiotic diet (see the "Cancer Diet" article for more information).

NOT for children.

Working With an Expert For This Treatment

There are no vendors to support this treatment, see your orthodox medical doctor if you have symptoms not mentioned in the Brandt Grape Cure article (or simply quit the treatment). Most symptoms, however, will be harmless detox symptoms and will occur at the beginning of the treatment. Here is the article:

Ozone RHP

This treatment is rarely used, probably because people do not believe that pure ozone gas can safely be injected directly into the blood stream. In other words, it is a case of bad information that keeps people from using this treatment.

Or it may be that people don't want to do their own I.V. or injection at home. In any case, this treatment is not used very often. The treatment, however, is one of the rare oxygen treatments that currently can be done at home.

The medical grade equipment is pricy, at $5,000 or so, but it is a valid "Stage IV" treatment.

As with all "Stage IV" treatments, it is absolutely critical to follow this treatment with the remission treatment mentioned below.

Cost: $5,000 up front, but this includes the pure ozone generator and daily contact with the vendor for the first two months of treatment, and thereafter if needed.

Advantages: This is a very effective ozone treatment. Ozone and other oxygen treatments have been around for a long time and have been proven to be very safe and effective. This treatment can be used in cases where the patient cannot take supplements.

Disadvantages: Many people do not want to inject ozone gas directly into their bloodstream. Also, because this treatment kills cancer cells, it may cause some inflammation and swelling.

The Clinics Which Use Stage IV Protocols

This website endorses several clinics. There are other clinics which do not want the publicity that a website gives. There are also many clinics I do not endorse either because I do not have enough information about them or I don't have time to evaluate them.

Here is a list of clinics, some of which are endorsed, and others of which are listed. It would be rare when one of these clinics only used one or two treatments. Most of them use several treatments. However, just because a clinic uses several treatments does not mean it is an effective treatment. Just like a raging house fire cannot be put out with 10 garden hoses, a raging case of cancer cannot be put out by 10 mediocre treatments.

The German clinics are the best in the world. If you can afford one of the German clinics, use them. All of them use hyperthermia as their main treatment. Here are all the clinics:
