The use of Immune Support along with Conventional Treatment
Cancer results from the body failing to recognize and destroy cells that do not replicate normally. Why? In the average human, about 100,000,000 cells replicate every day. Just by the shear number of cells replicating, some of them will replicate with errors. And one of the main functions of the Immune System is to identify and destroy these aberrant cells. It is only when the immune system fails to either recognizes the bad cells, or if it does recognize them it fails to destroy them, that it becomes cancer. This means that cancer is first and foremost an immune dysfunction disease. If the Immune System were working perfectly there would have been no chance for the cancer to begin. It would be destroyed on a cell-by-cell basis as it happened. This is actually the process that occurs in almost everyone from the moment of birth. But sometimes errors happen.

For cancer to occur, there are three things that must take place:

  1. Some cell must have errors in replication for the process to begin. There are a number of things that will cause an increase in replication errors: Chemicals (the carcinogens) and some virus, but most importantly, age. It is age that causes the greatest errors in cellular replication. At 10 years old, most people have very few cellular replication errors. Probably less than 1000 per day out of the entire 100 million replications. By the time we reach 60, it is theorized that we have as many as 100,000 cells each day that fail to replicate normally. Consequently, cancer is much more common in 60 year olds than in 10 year olds.
  2. The 2nd thing that must happen is that the Immune system must fail to recognize the aberrant cell when they are formed. At the point of the initial error happening it is quite easy for the Immune System to overcome the bad cell. But if the cell escapes detection and divides again, then the third step can and often does follow:
  3. The third thing that must happen is that the Immune System must remain in a non-responsive state (or at least a less than ideal state) for the tumor to continue replicating. Most of the time, the body will overcome the tumor in the first few days/weeks/month of its life. But occasionally the tumor continues to evade detection and grows until it becomes large enough for a doctor to detect.

The point at which the tumor is large enough to detect can take a long time, even as long as 10 years. But by the time it is large enough to detect, it is already hundreds of millions of cells in size. By this point it is very difficult for the immune system to mount an effective defense against the invader, the tumor.

The concept of cancer treatment followed in America is essentially to cut, burn and poison in an attempt to kill off the bad cells (cancer cells) while supporting the good cells (healthy cells). Surgery, chemotherapy and radiation are the methods of choice, the best we have to offer. While this may be the best treatment option available in America today, most of the world adds another component to these standard methods. Adjunctive Immune Support.
The largest class of anti-cancer drugs being used in the world today is the polysaccharide immunomodulators. These are the compounds that trigger Immune Function. They bind to surface receptors on the various Immune cells and activate them. They either turn the cell on, or turn it off, or trigger the production of more of those cells or trigger the release of cytokines such as the chemical substance called Tumor Necrosis Factor. The reason this Immune System adjunct therapy being used along with conventional therapy is essentially as follows:

Some might say it is easy to get rid of cancer. You can simply take a knife and cut it out. But unfortunately, in doing so you have not removed the cause of the cancer, which is the immune dysfunction that allowed the cancer to proliferate in the first place. Nor have you addressed this cause when you kill the tumor off with chemotherapy, or if you burn the tumor out with radiation. All of these methods are useful, but ultimately they will fail unless adequate steps are taken to trigger an effective and appropriate Immune Response. With conventional cancer treatment the recurrence rate is so high that doctors in America are forbidden to even use the word “Cure”. They are required to use the term “In Remission” instead. That is because we know that the cancer is almost certain to return in the next 5 years. Why? Because the same cause that allowed the cancer to start the first time around is still present after all the chemo and the radiation and the surgery are over and done with.

Most people won’t change their eating habits. Or their stress levels, or move to a place with lower EMFs and less chemical pollutants in the soil and water. But once cancer occurs, these are some logical steps to take. Eat right. Drink clean water. Stay away from toxic chemicals. Quit Smoking. If you live in the farmland where everyday someone is spraying pesticides and herbicides, move away. These are just logical, common sense steps you can take to reduce the likelihood of a reoccurrence of the cancer.
