Discover what some of the greatest minds of the scientific and medical industry are saying about transfer factor
"Transfer Factor is the most promising breakthrough in health care discovered in the past several decades. We are just beginning to explore all of the potential of transfer factors. Neutriceuticals like TF are the wave of the future." Dr. Victor Tutelian, MD, MPH
In addition to earning his M.D, Ph.D. and Doctorate of Medical Science, Dr. Tutelian has also achieved the rank of a Professor and has authored more than 400 scientific publications and more than 40 federal regulations. Dr. Tutelian also received the highest recognition for a Russian scientist when he was voted into the RussianAcademy of Medical Sciences (RAMS), Russia's most prestigious academy, as an Academician. He now serves as the Chief Scientific Secretary of RAMS. In this position he determines what research will be done and which projects will be government funded. Currently, Dr. Tutelian also holds the positions of Director of the RAMS Institute of Nutrition, head of the Institute's enzymology laboratory and the department of Nutrition Hygiene and Toxicology of the MoscowSechenovMedicalAcademy, as well as numerous other positions on the scientific and editorial boards.
Note: Dr. Tutelian receives no incentive of any kind from 4-Life Research to say this. His influence in Russia is somewhat equivalent to our FDA Director's.
"I'm a cancer physician. I primarily treat female cancer and certainly encourage my patients who are undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy to take transfer factor. It helps to modulate the immune system and is great for overall health. I have patients with chronic herpes infections who are taking transfer factor on a regular basis. These patients have reported a reduction in the number of outbreaks. I've also had patients with chronic yeast infections consuming transfer factor and are reporting improvement as well. Transfer factor is a science-based product with excellent data from a variety of researchers."Duane Townsend, MD
Dr. Townsend has had more than 32 years of distinguished experience in the medical field. He pioneered a surgical technique for the treatment of pre-malignant disease of the uterine cervix. In addition, he has authored more than 90 scientific papers in peer review journals as well as over 15 chapters in research books.
"I believe transfer factor is, without a doubt, the greatest discovery of the century in supporting and modulating the immune system. I believe a strengthened immune system will be the primary way to stay well in the future. This nutrient can affect the immune system like nothing else can. I sincerely believe everyone needs to consume this product." Rob Robertson, MD
Dr. Robertson is a former Emergency Room Physician who partnered his future with this company because of his excitement about transfer factor. He received his medical degree from the University of Louisville School of Medicine in 1974. He served as the Director of Emergency Services at WesternBaptistHospital in Paducah, KY. **The above individual is an unpaid member of the 4Life Medical Advisory Board.
"I have now completed a retrospective study comparing children in our practice with those who did not use transfer factor during the same period. Eighty-seven children, age 8 months through 9 years, used transfer factor. We found 74% less reported illness and 84% less reported use of antibiotics." David Markowitz, M.D.
Dr. Markowitz is a pediatrician in Kennebunk, ME with a patient base of 4,500 children and has served as the Senior Pediatrician in a Private Pediatric Practice for 19 years. He received his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Rochester in New York. He received his medical degree, general Pediatric training, and Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Fellowship from the University of Connecticut School of Medicine in Farmington, Connecticut.

"Transfer factor's are the most exciting discovery in immunology. As the 21st century unfolds, transfer factor will be one of our greatest keys to health and well being." William Hennen, PhD
Dr. Hennen, Vice President of Research and Development at for our company, is a biochemist with thirteen years of experience as a researcher in drug design and development. He also worked for eight years as a consultant and research director in the nutritional supplement industry.
"There is no other product in a nutritional substance, NOR a drug, that has this kind of power and ability to affect our immune system. With the increase of killer viruses, mutated germs, super-resistant germs, and food contaminations, our only hope and defense, must lie within our own immune system." Darryl See, MD
Dr. See received his degree from the University of California, Irvine. Academic appointments include: Assistant/Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine: Investigator, California Collaborative Treatment Group: and Infectious Disease Consultant, Liver Transplantation Service. He has received contracts, grants, and research awards from Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, Upjohn Pharmaceuticals, Roche Molecular Systems, Harvard Biotechnology, National Institutes of Health, Department of Defense, and more.
I have seen first hand, the deadly consequences of the emergence of flesh-eating super-germs, now resistant to most of the antibiotics which were once successfully used against them. The abuse, unnecessary use and overuse of antibiotics over the years, have contributed to this life threatening development. Many infections and illnesses, including cancer, develop because of immune system failure, resulting from many day to day factors, several of which are preventable. One thing we can all do however, is to boost our immune system to help protect, defend and help our body to heal itself. I have listened to the testimonials of several healthy as well as health challenged individuals, who have used the Transfer Factors™ and other 4Life Research™ products. Their stories and the dramatic improvement in the quality of their lives generate excitement. I believe that 4LifeTransfer Factor™ and Transfer Factor Plus™ are true immune system modulators. I have decided not only to use 4Life Research™ products, but also to tell others about them.

"A while ago I came down with a summer cold. I got a runny nose and a sore throat, and then my next order of transfer factor arrived. I decided I would take nothing else. In a 24-hour time period I felt great! I had no symptoms. It was like I'd never had a cold. It was very exciting for me to experience that firsthand. Quite frankly, I've never had an immune boosting experience like I had with transfer factor. It's just remarkable. I think every chiropractor should know about this product and I think people should be telling their friends about this. If for no other reason you should have it in your medicine chest for when you need a immune system boost or modulation."
Dr. Gary Haagen
"The immune system is an important aspect of bringing balance to the body, and specifically, to someone who has autism. Transfer factors can be very effective because they have been shown to both boost and suppress the immune system. Because transfer factor can function as an immune system modulator, it can help to restore immune system balance in many types of clinical situations." Kenneth Bock, MD, best selling author on immune system modulation.

Kalau kita ke supermarket atau farmasi, kita akan lihat banyak vitamin dan makanan kesihatan atau pemakanan tambahan yang dipamerkan. Maklumat-maklumat pemakanan yang tercatat di kotak produk tersebut sudah cukup untuk membuat kita pening kepala. Apakah vitamin atau mineral yang tercatat pada kotak-kotak tersebut dapat memberi manfaat kepada kita?
Beberapa kajian menunjukkan vitamin dan mineral tertentu dapat membantu mengurangkan risiko penyakit jantung sebanyak 30 hingga 40 peratus malah dapat memperlahankan perkembangan penyakit tersebut. Vitamin juga membantu memperkuatkan sistem imun dan mereka yang mengambil vitamin dan mineral dipercayai mempunyai sistem imun yang lebih kuat. Sekiranya sistem imun kita lemah, kita akan terdedah kepada serangan berbagai-bagai penyakit dari dalam dan luar badan kita.
Jadi, pengambilan makanan kesihatan memberi manfaat kepada kita. Janganlah pula anda tidak menjaga makanan anda dan mengharapkan pemakanan tambahan melakukan keajaiban. Makanan kesihatan dapat membantu mencegah penyakit walaupun anda mungkin memerlukan 6 bulan untuk melihat keberkesanannya. Janganlah itu pula dijadikan alasan untuk tidak mengambilnya. Semakin awal anda bermula, semakin awal keberkesanannya.
Satu lagi cabaran ialah membantu sistem tubuh yang mula menurun. Apabila usia makin meningkat, kecekapan sistem tubuh kita tidak lagi seperti dulu. Sebagai contoh, perut kita tidak mempunyai cukup asid untuk membantu menyerap nutrien dari makanan. Ini bermakna sebanyak 40% dari nutrien dalam makanan tidak dapat diserap membuat kita kekurangan vitamin D, B6, B12, riboflavin, folat dan kalsium. Kebolehan sistem tubuh menyimpan nutrien juga menurun disebabkan oleh peratus lemak tubuh yang meningkat bersama umur.
Walaupun metabolisma membuatkan kita hidup dan sihat, ia juga menghasilkan sisa yang boleh membahayakan tubuh kita. Radikal bebas dan bahan lain yang terhasil dari proses metobolisma boleh merosakkan sel DNA dan membawa kepada banyak kesan umur tua. Kita memerlukan antioksida untuk melindungi diri dari serangan radikal bebas. Namun begitu, semakin meningkat usia, semakin susah untuk kita memperolehinya dari makanan harian. Jesteru kita perlu mengambil vitamin dan mineral tentu untuk memperolehi kesihatan optimum.
Sebagai langkah berjaga-jaga, pastikan jumlah vitamin dan mineral yang diambil tidak melebihi had yang ditetapkan. Anda dinasihatkan untuk bertanya kepada doktor mengenai makanan kesihatan yang ingin diambil. Ini disebabkan terdapat beberapa makanan kesihatan yang tidak sesuai diambil bersama ubat-ubatan.
Disenaraikan beberapa tips untuk anda:
Elakkan multi-vitamin dengan formula "time release". Ketika sampai masa untuk hancur, ia mungkin terlalu jauh di dalam perut di mana penyerapan adalah lemah.
Simpan vitamin jauh dari tempat panas dan lembab
Ambil vitamin bersama makanan kerana beberapa nutrien memerlukan emak untuk berfungi. Jesteru mengambilnya bersama makanan rendah lemak adalah terbaik.
Semak tarikh "baik sebelum". Anda mungkin berjimat dengan membeli dalam kuantiti yang banyak, tetapi sebenarnya akan merugikan jika tidak dihabiskan sebelum tamat tempoh.
Jika anda merokok, walaupun tak kuat, ambil lebih vitamin dan mineral terutamanya vitamin C.
Walaupun kesemua perkara ditentukan oleh Allah, berikhtiar dengan pelbagai cara untuk merawat penyakit amat digalakkan oleh agama. Ia tidak bercanggah dengan konsep tawakal.
Seorang sahabat pernah bertanya kepada Nabi Muhammad: “Adakah aku tambat binatang dan aku bertawakal ataupun aku lepaskannya dan aku bertawakal?” Jawab Rasulullah: “Tambat dan bertawakal.” (Riwayat Tirmizi)
Justeru, seseorang yang menghidap sesuatu penyakit digalakkan untuk mencari ubatnya dan tidak hanya berserah kepada nasib dan takdir. Mengikut sebuah riwayat dari Usamah ibn Syuraik, beliau berkata: “Aku berada di sisi Rasulullah, tiba-tiba datanglah beberapa orang Arab Badwi dan mereka berkata: ‘Ya Rasulullah adakah kami diizinkan berubat?’ Rasulullah bersabda: ‘Wahai hamba-hamba Allah, berubatlah kerana sesungguhnya Allah tidak meletakkan sesuatu penyakit melainkan Allah meletakkan ubat untuknya kecuali satu sahaja!’ Mereka bertanya: ‘Apakah itu ya Rasulullah?’ Nabi Muhammad bersabda: ‘Penyakit tua’.” Hadis ini diriwayatkan oleh Imam Bukhari, Ahmad, Abu Daud, Ibn Majah, An-Nasai dan Tirmizi.
Rasulullah juga turut berikhtiar sebagai contoh dengan berbekam, sedangkan Baginda merupakan manusia yang paling bertawakal kepada Allah. Selepas seseorang berikhtiar, hendaklah dia bertawakal dan berserah kepada Allah kerana Dialah sebenarnya yang menyembuhkan segala penyakit.
Sejarah menunjukkan ketika umat Islam membina hospital khas sebagai contoh di Damascus untuk merawat pesakit-pesakit kusta atau leprosy pada abad kelapan Masihi, dunia Eropah membunuh pesakit-pesakit mereka dengan membakar mereka secara rasmi. Hal ini disebutkan di dalam Islamic Perpectives in Medicine oleh Dr. Shahid Athar. Ini menunjukkan umat Islam terdahulu amat mementingkan ikhtiar dan tidak mudah menyerah kepada nasib dan keadaan.
Menjauhi Yang Haram Di Dalam Pengubatan
Secara dasarnya, ubat-ubatan yang mempunyai unsur-unsur haram tidak boleh digunakan untuk berubat, kecuali di saat kecemasan. Nabi Muhammad bersabda: “Sesungguhnya Allah menurunkan penyakit dan ubat, dan Dia menjadikan bagi setiap penyakit ubatnya. Maka berubatlah, tetapi janganlah kamu berubat dengan menggunakan benda yang haram.” (Riwayat Abu Daud)
Memastikan kehalalan sesuatu perkara sebelum mengambilnya hukumnya adalah wajib. Imam Sahl bin Abdullah berkata: “Kejayaan terletak pada tiga perkara, iaitu, mengambil makanan yang halal, menunaikan amalan yang fardu dan mengikut petunjuk Rasulullah di dalam hidup.”
Pengambilan benda yang haram akan memberi kesan kepada ibadah seseorang. Berhubung dengan ini Abdullah ibn Omar ra berkata: “Apabila kamu mengerjakan solat sehingga menjadi seperti busur panah yang melengkung, dan berpuasa sehingga menjadi kurus seperti anak panah, Allah tidak menerima amalan mu melainkan apabila kamu mempunyai sifat warak yang mendinding iaitu, menjauhi yang haram di dalam hidup.”
Sehubungan dengan ini, Islam mengharamkan arak dan tidak menganggapnya sebagai ubat. Nabi Muhammad bersabda: “Sesungguhnya arak bukanlah ubat, sebaliknya ia adalah penyakit.” (Riwayat Tirmizi-Hasan Sahih)
Cara Pengubatan Yang Selamat Perlu Diutamakan
Islam menyuruh umatnya menjauhi segala perkara yang boleh mendatangkan kemudaratan, termasuk di dalam aspek pengubatan. Nabi Muhammad bersabda: “Tidak boleh melakukan kemudaratan dan tidak boleh membalas dengan kemudaratan.” (Riwayat Malik, Al-Hakim, Baihaqi dan Ibnu Majah)
Berpandukan hadis ini, segala bentuk pengubatan yang boleh mendatangkan kemudaratan, sebagai contoh pemindahan organ dengan menggunakan organ binatang (xeno-transplantation), penggunaan ubat yang boleh membawa kepada kesan sampingan yang berbahaya serta pembedahan kecantikan yang berisiko tinggi, adalah dilarang.
Sehubungan dengan ini, di dalam sebuah hadis diriwayatkan: “Rasulullah melarang penggunaan ubat yang keji.” (Riwayat Ahmad, Abu Daud, Tirmizi dan Ibn Majah)
Dalam Misykat Al-Masabih ‘ubat yang keji’ ditafsirkan sebagai ‘bahan yang mempunyai unsur yang tidak baik seperti najis, arak, kotoran, bahan-bahan yang tercemar dan seumpamanya,’ kerana ia boleh mendatangkan kemudaratan.
Pencegahan Lebih Diutamakan Daripada Pengubatan
Dalam bidang perubatan, Islam mengutamakan ‘pencegahan daripada pengubatan’ kerana ia selari dengan sunnah yang diajarkan Nabi Muhammad. Salah satu kaedah fikah yang penting di dalam ilmu Islam ialah, “menghindari kerosakan perlu diutamakan daripada mengambil kemanfaatan”. Berpandukan kaedah ini, setiap perkara yang boleh menyebabkan kerosakan serta kemudaratan diharamkan oleh Islam sejak dari awal-awal lagi.
Sebagai contoh, zina boleh mendatangkan masalah kesihatan yang kronik justeru segala perbuatan yang boleh membawa kepada zina, seperti pergaulan bebas, khalwat di antara lelaki dan perempuan dan pendedahan aurat, diharamkan oleh agama.
Di dalam konteks yang lebih luas, Islam menyuruh umatnya berdisiplin di dalam hidup kerana ia mampu mencegah daripada pelbagai penyakit. Sebagai contoh, di dalam aspek pemakanan, Nabi Muhammad menggalakkan pemakanan makanan yang berkhasiat melalui sabda Baginda: “Sesiapa yang meminum madu di waktu pagi, tiga kali pada setiap bulan, dia tidak akan menghidap penyakit-penyakit berbahaya.” (Riwayat Ibn Majah)
Di samping itu berlebih-lebihan di dalam aspek makan minum perlu dijauhi kerana ia memberi kesan yang negatif kepada kesihatan. Baginda bersabda: “Tidak ada bekas yang lebih keji daripada perut anak Adam. Cukuplah bagi anak Adam dengan beberapa suapan yang membetulkan tulang belakangnya, dan sekiranya dia terpaksa melakukannya juga maka satu pertiga untuk makanannya satu pertiga untuk minumannya dan satu pertiga untuk nafasnya.” (Riwayat Tirmizi, Ahmad, Ibn Majah dan An-Nasai)
Kesihatan gigi juga perlu dijaga. Nabi Muhammad bersabda, “Jika tidak menyusahkan umat ku, aku ingin menyuruh mereka melambatkan solat isyak dan bersugi gigi setiap kali mereka hendak melakukan solat.” (Riwayat Muslim) Apabila sesuatu wabak menyerang kawasan tertentu, prosedur pencegahan perlu dilakukan agar ia tidak merebak ke kawasan lain.
Sebagai contoh, ketika khalifah Omar ibn Khattab ra merancang untuk ke kota Syam, beliau mendapat berita bahawa kota itu diserang oleh wabak taun. Selepas bermesyuarat dengan sahabat-sahabat beliau, mereka bersetuju untuk tidak ke sana sebagai langkah berjaga-jaga. (Riwayat Bukhari)
Antara formula umum yang digunakan oleh Nabi Muhammad di dalam aspek pencegahan seperti yang disebutkan oleh Ibn Qayyim Al-Jauziyah di dalam At-Tib An-Nabawi ialah, “mengurus dan menjaga dengan baik di dalam aspek makan minum, pemakaian, kebersihan tempat tinggal, penjagaan udara dan persekitaran, penjagaan ketika tidur dan bangun, ketika bergerak dan duduk diam, mengurus perkahwinan, mengurus penggunaan masa lapang dan juga penggunaan masa ketika menyendiri dengan ibadah. Apabila kesemua ini dapat diseimbangkan dengan mengambil kira kekuatan badan, keadaan persekitaran, masa dan adat kebiasaan, ia sering kali dapat menghasilkan kesihatan dan kesejahteraan yang terbaik.”
(NaturalNews) What you are about to read may rock or even dismantle the very foundation of your beliefs about your body, health and healing. The title, "Cancer Is Not a Disease" may be unsettling for many, provocative to some, but encouraging for all. This book will serve as a revelation for those who are sufficiently open-minded to consider the possibility that cancer and other debilitating illnesses are not actual diseases, but desperate and final attempts by the body to stay alive for as long as circumstances permit.
It will perhaps astound you to learn that a person who is afflicted with the main causes of cancer (which constitute the real illness) would most likely die quickly unless he actually grew cancer cells. In this work, I provide evidence to this effect.
I further claim that cancer will only occur after all other defense or healing mechanisms in the body have failed. In extreme circumstances, exposure to large amounts of cancer-producing agents (carcinogens) can bring about a collapse of the body's defenses within several weeks or months and allow for rapid and aggressive growth of a cancerous tumor. Usually, though, it takes many years, or even decades, for these so-called "malignant" tumors to form.
Unfortunately, basic misconceptions or complete lack of knowledge about the reasons behind tumor growth have turned "malignant" tumors into vicious monsters that have no other purpose but to kill us in retaliation for our sins or abusing the body. However, as you are about to find out, cancer is on our side, not against us. Unless we change our perception of what cancer really is, it will continue to resist treatment, particularly the most "advanced" methods. If you have cancer, and cancer is indeed part of the body's complex survival responses and not a disease, as I suggest it is, you must find answers to the following pressing questions:
* What reasons coerce your body into developing cancer cells?
* Once you have identified these reasons, will you be able to change them? What determines the type and severity of cancer with which you are afflicted?
* If cancer is a survival mechanism, what needs to be done to prevent the body from taking recourse to such drastic defense measures?
* Since the body's original genetic design always favors the preservation of life and protection against adversities of any kind, why would the body permit self-destruction?
* Why do almost all cancers disappear by themselves, without medical intervention?
* Do radiation, chemotherapy and surgery actually cure cancer, or do cancer survivors heal due to other reasons, despite these radical, side-effect-loaded treatments?
* What roles do fear, frustration, low self-worth and repressed anger play in the origination and outcome of cancer?
* What is the spiritual growth lesson behind cancer?
To deal with the root causes of cancer, you must find satisfying and practical answers to the above questions. If you feel the inner urge to make sense of this life-changing event, (cancer that is), you most likely will recover from it. Cancer can be your greatest opportunity to help restore balance to all aspects of your life, but it can also be the harbinger of severe trauma and suffering. Either way you are always in control of your body.
To live in a human body, you must have access to a certain amount of life-sustaining energy. You may either use this inherent energy in a nourishing and self-sustaining or in a destructive and debilitating way. In case you consciously or unconsciously choose negligence or self-abuse over loving attention and self-respect, your body will likely end up having to fight for its life.
Cancer is but one of the many ways the body tries to change the way you see and treat yourself, including your body. This inevitably brings up the subject of spiritual health, which plays at least as important a role in cancer as physical and emotional reasons do.
Cancer appears to be a highly confusing and unpredictable disorder. It seems to strike the very happy and the very sad, the rich and the poor, the smokers and the non-smokers, the very healthy and the not so healthy. People from all backgrounds and occupations can have cancer. However, if you dare look behind the mask of its physical symptoms, such as the type, appearance and behavior of cancer cells, you will find that cancer is not as coincidental or unpredictable as it seems to be.
What makes 50% of the American population so prone to developing cancer, when the other half has no risk at all? Blaming the genes for that is but an excuse to cover up ignorance of the real causes. Besides, any good genetic researcher would tell you that such a belief is void of any logic and outright unscientific (as explained in the book).
Cancer has always been an extremely rare illness, except in industrialized nations during the past 40-50 years. Human genes have not significantly changed for thousands of years. Why would they change so drastically now, and suddenly decide to kill scores of people? The answer to this question is amazingly simple: Damaged or faulty genes do not kill anyone. Cancer does not kill a person afflicted with it! What kills a cancer patient is not the tumor, but the numerous reasons behind cell mutation and tumor growth. These root causes should be the focus of every cancer treatment, yet most oncologists typically ignore them. Constant conflicts, guilt and shame, for example, can easily paralyze the body's most basic functions, and lead to the growth of a cancerous tumor.
After having seen thousands of cancer patients over a period of three decades, I began to recognize a certain pattern of thinking, believing and feeling that was common to most of them. To be more specific, I have yet to meet a cancer patient who does not feel burdened by some poor self-image, unresolved conflict and worries, or past emotional trauma that still lingers in his/her subconscious. Cancer, the physical disease, cannot occur unless there is a strong undercurrent of emotional uneasiness and deep-seated frustration.
Cancer patients typically suffer from lack of self-respect or worthiness, and often have what I call an "unfinished business" in their life. Cancer can actually be a way of revealing the source of such inner conflict. Furthermore, cancer can help them come to terms with such a conflict, and even heal it altogether. The way to take out weeds is to pull them out along with their roots. This is how we must treat cancer; otherwise, it may recur eventually.
The following statement is very important in the consideration of cancer: "Cancer does not cause a person to be sick; it is the sickness of the person that causes the cancer." To treat cancer successfully requires the patient to become whole again on all levels of his body, mind and spirit. Once the cancer causes have been properly identified, it will become apparent what needs to be done to achieve complete recovery.
It is a medical fact that every person has cancer cells in the body all the time. These cancer cells remain undetectable through standard tests until they have multiplied to several billion. When doctors announce to their cancer patients that the treatments they prescribed had successfully eliminated all cancer cells, they merely refer to tests that are able to identify the detectable number of cancerous cells. Standard cancer treatments may lower the number of cancer cells to an undetectable level, but this certainly cannot eradicate all cancer cells. As long as the causes of tumor growth remain intact, cancer may redevelop at any time and at any rate.
Curing cancer has little to do with getting rid of a group of detectable cancer cells. Treatments like chemotherapy and radiation are certainly capable of poisoning or burning many cancer cells, but they also destroy healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract, liver, kidneys, heart, lungs, etc., which often leads to permanent irreparable damage of entire organs and systems in the body. A real cure of cancer does not occur at the expense of destroying other vital parts of the body.
Each year, hundreds of thousands of people who were once "successfully" treated for cancer die from infections, heart attacks, liver failure, kidney failure and other illnesses because the cancer treatments generate a massive amount of inflammation and destruction in the organs and systems of the body. Of course, these causes of death are not being attributed to cancer. This statistical omission makes it appear we are making progress in the war against cancer. However, many more people are dying from the treatment of cancer than from cancer. A real cure or cancer is achievable only when the causes of excessive growth of cancer cells have been removed or stopped.
Power in the Word
Cancer is the second leading "cause" of death for Americans. According to the American Cancer Society, about 1.2 million cases will be diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. in 2008. More than 552,000 Americans will die of it. Among men, the top three cancer diagnoses are expected to be prostate cancer (180,400 cases), lung cancer (89,500 cases), and colorectal cancer (63,600). The leading types of cancer among women are breast cancer (182,800 cases), lung cancer (74,600), and colorectal cancer (66,600 cases).
Cancer is not just a word, but also a statement that refers to abnormal or unusual behavior of cells in the body. However, in quite a different context, cancer is referred to as a star sign. When someone tells you that you are a "cancer", are you going to tremble with fear of dying? It is unlikely, because your interpretation of being of the cancer sign does not imply that you have cancer, the illness. But if your doctor called you into his office and told you that you had cancer, you would most likely feel paralyzed, numb, terrified, hopeless, or all of the above.
The word "cancer" has the potential to play a very disturbing and precarious role, one that is capable of delivering a death sentence. Being a cancer patient seems to start with the diagnosis of cancer, although its causes may have been there for many years prior to feeling ill. Within a brief moment, the word "cancer" can turn someone's entire world upside down.
Who or what in this world has bestowed this simple word or statement with such great power that it can preside over life and death? Or does it really? Could it actually be that our collective, social belief that cancer is a killer disease, in addition to the aggressive treatments that follow diagnosis, are largely responsible for the current dramatic escalation of cancer in the Western hemisphere? Too far fetched, you might say! In this book, however, I will make the point that cancer can have no power or control over us, unless we unconsciously allow it to grow in response to the beliefs, perceptions, attitudes, thoughts, feelings we have, and the life choices we make.
Would we be just as afraid of cancer if we knew what caused it or at least understood what its underlying purpose is? Unlikely so! If truth were told, we would most probably do everything to remove the causes and, thereby, set the preconditions for the body to heal itself.
A little knowledge (which is what we call ignorance) is, in fact, a dangerous thing. Almost everyone, at least in the industrialized world, knows that drinking water from a filthy pond or polluted lake can cause life-threatening diarrhea, but still only few realize that holding on to resentment, anger and fear, or eating fast foods, chemical additives, and artificial sweeteners, is no less dangerous than drinking polluted water; it may just take a little longer to kill a person than tiny amoeba can.
Mistaken Judgment
We all know that if the foundation of a house is strong, the house can easily withstand external challenges, such as a violent storm. As we will see, cancer is merely an indication that there is something missing in our body and in life as a whole. Cancer shows that life as a whole (physical, mental and spiritual) stands on shaky grounds and is quite fragile, to say the least. It would be foolish for a gardener to water the withering leaves of a tree when he knows so well that the real problem is not where it appears to be, namely, on the symptomatic level (of withered leaves). By watering the roots of the plant, he naturally attends to the causative level, and consequently, the plant regenerates itself swiftly and automatically.
To the trained eye of a gardener, the symptom of withering leaves is not a dreadful disease. He recognizes that the dehydrated state of these leaves is but a direct consequence of withdrawn nourishment that they need in order to sustain themselves and the rest of the plant.
Although this example from nature may appear to be a simplistic analogy, it offers a profound understanding of very complex disease processes in the human body. It accurately describes one of the most powerful and fundamental principles controlling all life forms on the planet. However skilled we may have become in manipulating the functions of our body through the tools of allopathic medicine, this basic, highly evolved principle of evolution cannot be suppressed or violated without paying the hefty price of side-effect-riddled suffering and pain - physically, emotionally and spiritually.
I fervently challenge the statement that cancer is a killer disease. Furthermore, I will demonstrate that cancer is not a disease at all. Many people who received a "terminal" cancer sentence actually defied the prognosis and experienced total remission.
The Need for Answers
There is no cancer that has not been survived by someone, regardless how far advanced it was. If even one person has succeeded in healing his cancer, there must be a mechanism for it, just as there is a mechanism for creating cancer. Every person on the planet has the capacity for both. If you have been diagnosed with cancer, you may not be able to change the diagnosis, but it is certainly in your power to alter the destructive consequences that it (the diagnosis) may have on you. The way you see the cancer and the steps you take following the diagnosis are some of the most powerful determinants of your future wellness, or the lack of it.
The indiscriminate reference to "cancer" as being a killer disease by professionals and lay people alike has turned cancer into a disorder with tragic consequences for the majority of today's cancer patients and their families. Cancer has become synonymous to extraordinary suffering, pain and death. This is true despite the fact that 90-95 percent of all cancers appear and disappear out of their own accord. There is not a day that passes without the body making millions of cancer cells. Some people, under severe temporary stress make more cancer cells than usual and form clusters of cancerous cells that disappear again once they feel better. Secretions of the DNA's anticancer drug, Interleukin II, drop under physical and mental duress and increase again when relaxed and joyful. Thus, most cancers vanish without any form of medical intervention and without causing any real harm.
Right at this moment, there are millions of people walking around with cancers in their body without having a clue that they have them. Likewise, there are millions of people who heal their cancers without even knowing it. Overall, there are many more spontaneous remissions of cancer than there are diagnosed and treated cancers.
The truth is, relatively few cancers actually become "terminal." However, once diagnosed, the vast majority of all cancers are never even given a chance to disappear on their own. They are promptly targeted with an arsenal of deadly weapons of cell destruction such as chemotherapy drugs, radiation and the surgical knife. The problem with cancer patients is that, terrified by the diagnosis, they submit their bodies to all these cut/burn/poison procedures that, more likely than not, lead them to the day of final sentencing, "We have to tell you with our deepest regret there is nothing more that can be done to help you."
The most pressing question is not how advanced or dangerous a cancer is, but what we need to do to not end up dying from it. Why do some people go through cancer as if it were the flu? Are they just lucky or is there a mechanism at work that triggers the healing? In other words, what is that element that prevents the body from healing cancer naturally, or what is that hidden element that makes cancer so dangerous, if it is dangerous at all?
The answers to all these queries lie with the response of the person who has the cancer, and not with the degree of "viciousness" or advanced stage it appears to have progressed to. Do you believe that cancer is a disease? You will most likely answer with a "yes," given the 'informed' opinion that the medical industry and mass media have fed to the masses for many decades. Yet, the most pressing yet rarely asked question remains: "Why do you think cancer is a disease?" You may say: "Because I know cancer kills people every day." I would question you further: "How do you know that it is the cancer that kills people?" You would probably argue that most people who have cancer die, so obviously it must be the cancer that kills them. Besides, you may reason, all the expert doctors tell us so.
Let me raise another question, a rather strange one: "How do you know for sure that you are the daughter/son of your father and not of another man?" Is it because your mother told you so? What makes you think that your mother told you the truth? Probably because you believe her; and you have no reason not to. After all, she is your mother, and mothers do not lie about these things. Or do they? Although you will never really know that the person you believe to be your father is, in fact, your father, you nevertheless have turned what you subjectively believe into something that you just "know," into an irrefutable truth.
Although there is no scientific proof whatsoever that cancer is a disease (versus a survival mechanism), most people will insist that it is a disease because this is what they were told to believe. Yet their belief is only hearsay information based on other people's opinions. These other people heard it from someone else. Eventually, the "truth" of cancer being a disease can be traced to some doctors who expressed their subjective feelings or beliefs about what they observed and wrote about in some review articles or medical reports. Other doctors agreed with their opinion, and before long, it became a "well-established" fact that cancer is a vicious illness that somehow gets hold of people in order to kill them. However, the truth of the matter may be quite different.
Wisdom of Cancer Cells
Cancer cells are not part of a malicious disease process. When cancer cells spread (metastasize) throughout the body, it is not their purpose or goal to disrupt the body's vitals functions, infect healthy cells and obliterate their host (the body). Self-destruction is not the theme of any cell unless, of course, it is old and worn-out and ready to be turned-over and replaced. Cancer cells, like all other cells, know that if the body dies, they will die as well. Just because some people assume that cancer cells are there to destroy the body does not mean cancer cells have such a purpose or ability.
A cancerous tumor is neither the cause of progressive destruction nor does it actually lead to the death of the body. There is nothing in a cancer cell that has even remotely the ability to kill anything. What eventually leads to the demise of an organ or the entire body is the wasting away of cell tissue resulting from continued deprivation of nutrients and life force. The drastic reduction or shutdown of vital nutrient supplies to the cells of an organ is not primarily a consequence of a cancerous tumor, but actually its biggest cause.
By definition, a cancer cell is a normal, healthy cell that has undergone genetic mutation to the point that it can live in an anaerobic surrounding (an environment where oxygen is not available). In other words, if you deprive a group of cells of vital oxygen (their primary source of energy), some of them will die, but others will manage to alter their genetic software program and mutate in a most ingenious way: the cells will be able to live without oxygen and derive some of their energy needs from such things as cellular metabolic waste products.
It may be easier to understand the cancer cells phenomenon when comparing it with the behavior of common microorganisms. Bacteria, for example, are divided into two main groups, aerobic and anaerobic, meaning, those that need to use oxygen and those that can live without it. This is important to understand since we have more bacteria in our body than we have cells. Aerobic bacteria thrive in an oxygenated environment. They are responsible for helping us with the digestion of food and manufacturing of important nutrients, such as B-vitamins. Anaerobic bacteria, on the other hand, can appear and thrive in an environment where oxygen does not reach. They break down waste materials, toxic deposits and dead, worn-out cells.
The body sees the cancer as being such an important defense mechanism that it even causes the growth of new blood vessels to guarantee the much-needed supply of glucose and, therefore, survival and spreading of the cancer cells. It knows that cancer cells do not cause but, prevent death; at least for a while, until the wasting away of an organ leads to the demise of the entire organism. If the trigger mechanisms for cancer (causal factors) are properly taken care of, such an outcome can be avoided.
It is commonly believed that our immune system protects us against cancer. However, this is only partially true. On the one hand, the immune system readily destroys the millions of cancer cells that a healthy human body produces as part of the daily turnover of 30 billion cells. On the other hand, the immune system takes no action to eradicate cancer cells that develop in response to a build up of toxins, congestion and emotional stress.
Cancers and all other tissues in the body are larded with cancer-killing white cells, such as T-cells. In the case of kidney cancer and melanomas, for example, white cells make up 50 per cent of the mass of the cancers. Since these T-cells easily recognize foreign or mutated cell tissue such as cancer cells, you would expect these immune cells to attack cancer cells right away. However, the immune system allows cancer cells to recruit it to actually increase and spread the cancer to other parts of the body. Cancer cells produce specific proteins that tell the immune cells to leave them alone and help them to grow
Why would the immune system want to collaborate with cancer cells to make more or larger tumors? Because cancer is a survival mechanism, not a disease. The body uses the cancer to keep deadly carcinogenic substances and caustic metabolic waste matter away from the lymph and blood and, therefore, from the heart, brain and other vital organs. Killing off cancer cells would in fact jeopardize its survival. Cleansing the body of accumulated toxins and waste products through the various cleansing methods advocated in my book Timeless Secrets of Health and Rejuvenation (www.ener-chi.com) removes the need for cancer.
Cancer is not a disease; it is the final and most desperate survival mechanism the body has at its disposal. It only takes control of the body when all other measures of self-preservation have failed. To truly heal cancer and what it represents in a person's life we must come to the understanding that the reason the body allows some of its cells to grow in abnormal ways is in its best interest and not an indication that it is about to destroy itself. Cancer is a healing attempt by the body for the body. Blocking this healing attempt can destroy the body. Supporting the body in its healing efforts can save it.

Today I'd like to share with you some very personal secrets for
transforming your health and living a disease-free life. You see, even
though I'm known as the Health Ranger today, just a few years ago, I
was the average American: Overweight, exhausted, suffering from
chronic pain and on my way to becoming diabetic. I was eating junk
foods, avoiding exercise, and taking prescription drugs. I looked and
felt terrible.
Desperate for solutions, I began to read a book on the dietary
effects of sugar. This was my first introduction to the link between
nutrition and health, and it opened the door to a universe of
fascinating information that has now become my lifelong mission to
help promote.
Almost all chronic diseases are preventable, you see, including
cancer (90% preventable), type-2 diabetes (almost 100% preventable),
depression, heart disease, and literally hundreds of others. But only
if you learn and apply the fundamental laws of nutrition!
This is what I'd like to share with you today: The nutritional
secrets to a life free of chronic disease. In "Seven Laws of Nutrition,
" I've put together seven essential nutritional habits showing you
the fundamentals to not just preventing but actually HEALING chronic
disease. Following these guidelines will also give you the nutritional
foundation to reach a healthy body weight, eliminate joint pain,
enhance energy and performance and even overcome mental fatigue or
cognitive decline.
Those are bold statements, but when you finally understand the power
of nutrition to activate the body's self-repairing capabilities,
you'll recognize these claims as being "matter of fact" statements.
The body, simply put, can heal itself of nearly all chronic
degenerative diseases or conditions in much the same way it heals a
cut or a sprain. The human body is a self-repairing system, after all.
What you have to do is give it the right nutritional tools so it can
unleash its fullest healing potential. And that comes from natural
medicines found in the world of nutrition.
Having experienced a remarkable health transformation myself,
ultimately eliminating several different disease conditions in my own
body, I am passionate about helping other people make changes too. In
"Seven Laws of Nutrition," you will learn:
* How to make a delicious, healthy breakfast shake to start your
morning out right
* The documented correlation between poor nutrition and diseases
* How to obtain optimum nutrition from foods and supplementation
* Which typical Western foods are causing an astronomical rise in
obesity and diabetes
* 20 Superfoods that transform your health
* Where to find quality herbal, vitamin, and mineral supplements
* Why even obese Americans are suffering from malnutrition
* Top health-promoting foods and how these improve your well-being
* Why most diet foods are just as bad for you -- or worse -- than
regular varieties
...And much more
Whether you want to prevent chronic illness or get the nutritional
support to beat a disease you've already been diagnosed with, "Seven
Laws of Nutrition" gives you potentially lifesaving information that
lets you take charge of your health outcome. It's available in both
downloadable and hardcopy editions. Learn more at:
P.S. Here's a health tip for boosting your cardio capacity: Aloe vera
has remarkable properties that actually boost the oxygen-carrying
capacity of your blood. By eating aloe vera gel (or drinking its
juice) on a regular basis, you may experience what I have: A
remarkable increase in cardiovascular performance, combined with rapid
recovery from physical exertion. At the gym, I've earned the nickname
"The Cardio Machine." My secret is aloe vera. The best way to get it?
Grow it yourself, then harvest the gel out of the thick leaves, blend
the gel into smoothies, and drink away! Aloe vera supplements are also
available from various vitamin companies, but the raw, fresh aloe vera
gel is always best.
P.P.S. Don't drink the aloe vera sap (the brown, resin-like liquid
found in the leaf skin) unless you have a lot of bathroom reading to
catch up on. Only eat the translucent aloe vera gel. Avoid aloe vera
supplements that are "whole leaf" supplements. You don't want the
whole leaf, only the gel.
