Live Cell Therapy

Begun in Switzerland and outlawed in the US (5000 therapists use it in Germany), clinical evidence and testimonials abound on the regeneration properties of this therapy. Cancer is, among other things, due to DNA damage. When a cell dies (happens all the time—the lining inside your mouth replaces itself every day, your liver replaces itself ever six weeks), the new cell that grows to replace the dead cell is a duplicate of the dead cell because the DNA is passed on to the new cell. However, in cancer, the DNA has gone wild and creates an entirely new cell. Cellular changes are brought about by toxins, alcohol, smoke, malnutrition, free radicals, and the aging process. In Live Cell Therapy DNA from animal fetuses (in the form of thymus extracts, Resomillan® [spleen extract] , and other forms) is injected. Pill forms have been created, though we have yet to learn of the clinical effectiveness. According to its proponents, live cell therapy helps organs regenerate, improves hormonal response in the thyroid, testes, ovaries, adrenals, pancreas, pituitary gland, and hypothalmus (they claim), revitalizes skin, muscles, bones, brains, heart and lungs, and enhances immune system response. The pill form is available through the mail, though again, the pill form has not yet proven itself effective. Live Cell Therapy will never be available in the US (unless you do something) because it is not patentable. This therapy is available in Mexico and Canada. Top

Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)

Updated: 06/08/08

Naltrexone is a drug that originally used to help stop cravings in alcoholics. In a regular dose of Naltrexone, endorphins are released. These "feel good" hormones help alcholics overcome their cravings. Endorphins also regulate the immune system and regulate the growth of some cancers. It was discovered almost accidentally that low doses of Naltrexone, can help tumors shrink.

Our original report on LDN spoke of "cures" for cancers. However, that was a bit of an exaggeration. What researchers are now finding that tumors shrink in quite a few cases. A few go into remission. They also found that tumors start to come back when the patient stops the LDN treatments. When LDN is started again, the tumors again begin to shrink and metastases are inhibited.

This being the case, physicians have developed a third model in cancer treatment: long term cancer stabilization.

This isn't entirely a new approach. I've interviewed a physician in Israel who taught his patients to live with cancer. They developed new life styles and outlived, on the average, those who opted for chemo and/or radiation.

With LDN, tumors shrink and and stabilize. Remission might be a possibility, but lives are returned to normal. The best news is that this works for those who've flunked chemo and radiation.

One of the problems with seeking alternatives is that most do it after flunking out of chemo or radiation, or they've just had enough suffering. But now they bring an extra problem to their new therapist. Now that therapist not only has to deal with that patient's cancer, there's an immune system the therapist has to help heal.

Now, with long term stabilization possible, in 65% of cases, LDN shows a lot of promise in keeping people alive long enough to rebuild their immune systems and try complementary treatments that were, in the past, not very successful with those who had used chemotherapy or radiation in the past.

Take the work of Dr Ozell from Turkey. He realized upwards of a 70% success rate in fighting cancers using a water extract of the Nerium Oleander plant. However, he found that for those who had done treatments using chemotherapy or radiation, their chances of recovery were about thirty percent.

Incorporating a long term recovery using LDN might increase the odds of complete recovery in those would eventually try the Oleander once their immune systems have had time to recover. Sadly, we've not found any studies of people using LDN who've gone on to other complementary approaches.

Though, to be certain, people using LDN report a higher quality of life, no side effects. The only problem with this is that now medicine wants to use more chemotherapy and radiation along with LDN. Go figger.

In large dosages, Naltrexone can damage the liver, however, for cancer therapy, only 3 mg are given at bedtime. At this dosage Naltrexone is nontoxic with no side effects.

Increasing the body's endorphins also activates the immune system's natural killer cells which protects the body against new cancers and keeps malignant cells from metastasizing. Since of Dec, 1999, Dr Bihari, who has a private practice in Manhattan, has been helping to restore natural immune defenses that have been damaged through chemotherapy and radiation.

(2/3/2001): Dr. Bihari is in frequent conversation with the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda and is shipping them detailed summaries and materials (CT scans, MRI's, X-rays, and original pathology slides) on over a dozen patients with marked regressions and/or remissions in a variety of advanced cancers that had failed other therapies but that clearly responded to Low Dose Naltrexone. He should be visiting there and presenting the info to a group of NIH'ers in about 2-3 months. To keep up on the progress of this therapy, visit www.lowdosenaltrexone.org.

(2/13/2001): Dr Bihari has responded to a few questions that we will point out here: LDN is and has been used in conjunction with standard treatments, and has been used as the sole treatment. However, they've had some good results using LDN in conjunction with chemotherapy to avoid some of the side effects of chemotherapy.

From his site, we get the following side note: Hypericin and LDN for Hepatitis C : Over 60 patients have been successfully treated for hepatitis C in Dr. Bihari's practice. In a study of St. John's Wort in 15 patients with HIV in 1990, he had accidentally discovered a significant benefit to liver function in two patients with hepatitis B (whereas there was no improvement in HIV markers). Bihari then began to use St. John's Wort in his private practice to treat hepatitis B and hepatitis C - patients with the former responded well, the latter not at all. Since 1995, Dr. Bihari has been able to use a very highly concentrated form of hypericin, the active ingredient found in St. John's Wort, called HY2 [manufactured by Pacific Biologic in Clayton, CA; 800-869-8783] in the treatment of people with hepatitis C. It is given along with LDN, to enhance the immune response, and in many cases with ribavirin, an antiviral.

There are three possible mechanisms by which low dose Naltrexone (LDN) might exert its effects on tumor growth:

by inducing an increase in metenkephalin (an endorphin produced in large amounts in the adrenal medulla) and beta endorphin in the body; by increasing the number and density of opiate receptors on the tumor cell membranes, thus making them more responsive endorphins mentioned in 1; by increasing the natural killer (NK) cell numbers and NK cell activity and CD8 numbers

The cancers Dr Bihari has found that respond to LDN are, Pancreatic Cancer, Breast Cancer, Prostate Cancer, Multiple Myeloma, Malignant Melanoma, Ovarian Cancer, Lymphocytic Leukemia, Colon and Rectal Cancers, Neuroblastoma, Carcinoid, and both Hodgkin's and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.

Other diseases for which LDN has shown beneficial effects: Behcet's Disease, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, HIV/AIDS, Multiple Sclerosis, Psoriasis, Hepatitis C, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Systemic Lupus.

We've been informed by a handful of people with MS that LDN has made their lives livable.

Now, here's the funny part. Naltrexone is an FDA approved drug that has passed all its toxicity tests, etc., etc.; but has not been approved for cancer therapy, or any of the other disorders listed above.

Big deal. It is perfectly legal and ethical for a physician to prescribe LDNfor your cancer, MS, or Lupus. A Medical Doctor's license allows a physician to prescribe anything s/he thinks will help the patient.

To get LDN therapy, go to your doctor, ask him to prescribe 3 mg at bedtime, and that's it. It can't hurt you. And it might just make you live longer than you would have gotten without it. The price is quite affordable.

Although this is the most preferable way to go with regard to mainstream medicine, it is still mainstream medicine.

For an all around way to beat cancer naturally, let me refer you to Tony's anti- cancer protocol.

While LDN is certainly a drug, I really wouldn’t consider

it mainstream medicine simply because it was not developed for cancer but for helping

heroin or opium addicts, by blocking the effect of such drugs LDN seems

to giving many with cancer more time and even stopping tumor growth in

some. I think it is a very vital alternative and should be looked into if

someone is open to taking a drug. Many are using LDN in order to give

natural protocols time to work. It does require a script and it must be

given at low dosages. There is a good website and even a that

discuses LDN. http://www.lowdosenaltrexone.org/

There is an LDN Conference in October in California.

At YouTube.com, if you search on " low dose naltrexone " , you'll find many

excellent videos from the annual conferences.

Interesting article about LDN. As it happens, I'm taking it now. The correct dose is not 3 mg, but 4.5 mg. There is an active, small group. LDN_4_cancer

if you are interested. I found LDN before oleander, and see no reason to stop. Shotgun approach for now. Rhoda
