Cancer Cure Protocol
International
Medical Veritas Association
The World Health
Organization predicts that cases of
cancer will increase by up to 50% worldwide by 2020.
We are no longer
looking for a cure for cancer, it has been found in the most
unlikely place, the emergency room. The answer is simple,
safe and effective and is inexpensive to administer. What we
have done is
stolen the best medicines found in the emergency room and
applied them to chronic diseases and most specifically to
cancer, which almost fifty percent or more of us are doomed
to get.
The same
medicines that can save a life on demand instantly in an
emergency situation like cardiac arrest are some of the same
ones we can use to battle the diseases that have been
baffling the entire western allopathic establishment for
decades. They offer a power unequalled in the world of
medicine that we can harness to cure cancer.
As cancer rates surge
upward human survival is directly related to a safe and
effective protocol for cancer.
Such a protocol
has to address the many faces of cancer, its many etiologies
including heavy metal toxicity, viral and other pathogens[i]
that
provoke cancer formation, cancer’s fungal
characteristic, ph shift toward the acidic, mineral and
other nutritional deficiencies that leave us vulnerable, and
even the psycho-emotional shocks that act like the first
domino that gets the entire process started. Though there is
no such thing as
"one size fits all"
type of
protocol but one must cover the basics anytime one treats
something as serious as cancer. Also
band-aid on the symptom
type approaches are not sufficient, we have to get to the
root cause if we want to stay in remission. Cancer can only
be considered cured if it never comes back.
The IMVA cancer
protocol is a matter of overkill, meaning by combining
several substances that are each highly effective
individually, we will reach unheard of percentages of cure.
Hardly anyone has to die of cancer and no one has to suffer
the tremdously poisonous radiation and chemotherapy that
oncologists use in their ignorance.
What will come
as a surprise to most allopathic physicians is that the
emergency room medicines we have selected are not
pharmaceutical medicines but highly concentrated nutritional
substances. We are talking specifically about magnesium
chloride, iodine and sodium bicarbonate. These basic
emergency room substances, along with ALA (Alpha Lipoic
Acid) make up a core protocol, like the inner kernel of a
powerful new operating system, with add on modules (add on
treatments) easily inserted to adapt to each medical
situation. For instance selenium is another addition as are
a whole collection of substances like vitamin C, all of
which give us the
power to trap cancer tumors and catch them in a lethal cross
fire of concentrated nutritional substances. What this
protocol does is trap cancer cells and expose them to
substances that make it almost impossible for them to
survive while it simultaneously addresses the “terraine,”
the cellular and intercellular environments to remove the
conditions favorable for cancer growth.
The answer has been
sitting in front of allopathic medicine’s
nose all along, found in simple and inexpensive substances
used everyday to save peoples lives in emergencies.
Magnesium
chloride is probably the most powerful safe nutritional
medicine on earth but it is not appropriate to consider
drugs or nutritional agents in isolation. A focus on
combination therapy enables us to outflank the entire cancer
process. Magnesium chloride, when applied directly to the
skin, is transdermally absorbed and has an almost immediate
effect on local tissues and the same can be said about
iodine when applied topically. The two together are safe and
effective for skin and breast cancers
Breast cancer
and fibroid disorders can be eradicated with a three pronged
attack using magnesium chloride and iodine combined with
injections of sodium bicarbonate. Most of us are going to be
surprised to find out that there is an oncologist in Rome
Italy, Dr.
Tullio Simoncini,
destroying cancer tumors with sodium bicarbonate. Sodium
bicarbonate is safe, extremely inexpensive and unstoppably
effective when it comes to cancer tissues. It’s an
irresistible chemical; cyanide to cancer cells for it hits
the cancer cells with a shock wave of alkalinity, which
allows much more oxygen into the cancer cells than they can
tolerate. There never was a need for a war against cancer
since a great part of the answer has been sitting in
emergency rooms all along.
Humanity is being
caught between the hammer of chemical
toxicity, and the anvil of not having enough micro
nutrients to stave off chronic and degenerative diseases.
In addition, the
protocol recognizes the mental, emotional and spiritual
sources of cancer and the traumatic shocks to human
consciousness that trigger the downward spiral into
cancerous conditions. Though cancer can be highly
complicated by these factors the core of the protocol is so
strong and so precisely targeted to kill cancer cells that
it becomes secondary to delve deeply into the human
conflicts and stress points that so often accompany the
disease. On the other hand though, often these deeper
points are the first ones that need to be addressed.
Magnesium chloride
alone can be highly effective
in quickly healing the breasts of precancerous
syndromes and is highly prevenitive of cancer.
Iodine is a crucial
antioxidant and apoptosis-inductor with anti-tumoral and
anti-atherosclerotic activity. When we supplement with
iodine we will see increased antioxidant activity[ii]
and immune system function.[iii]
Thus we
should not be surprised when
Dr. Tullio Simoncini states, “Every
tumour of the skin can be completely removed with Iodine
Tincture 7%, brushed many times (10-20) per day. When the
crust is formed, don’t take it away, but treat the area
continuously and wait till it falls without any other
intervention except the Iodine tincture. When the crust
falls down the third time, the patient is healed.”
(See chapter on Transdermal Iodine Use)
Iodine is
absolutely essential especially in the age of increasing
radiation, necessary in the extreme to protect our thyroids
and maintain normal mitochondrial function. With increasing
radiation levels and carcinogenic fluoride threatening our
thyroids and the fact that iodine also helps eliminate heavy
metals like mercury and lead, it has become more than
extremely important.
(See chapters on Iodine and Chelation and the general
chapter on iodine.)
In the 21st
century the center of pharmacology needs to be
shifted away from
medicines that add to peoples already heavy
toxic burdens to
medicines and protocols that reduce these burdens.
According to
the National Foundation for Cancer Research
the value of minerals as part of an anticancer diet is
frequently overlooked.
However, minerals can play a vital role in fighting cancer.
A prime example is the mineral selenium, which has powerful
antioxidant properties. Selenium (Se) is an essential
micronutrient with important biological and biochemical
functions in organisms because of its unique antioxidant
properties and its ability to regulate thyroid gland
metabolism. It is well known that Se is an antagonist that
moderates the toxic effects of many heavy metals such as
arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and lead in organisms.
Minerals perform
a number of important functions. They act as catalysts, thus
playing a major role in metabolism and cell building. They
regulate the permeability of cell membranes, maintain water
balance and osmotic pressure between the inside and outside
environment, influence the contractility of muscles and
regulate the response of nerves to stimuli. Thus, these
declining mineral values threaten us with certain declines
in health and increases in diseases of many types unless we
can compensate.
Minerals are
essential for life and health and provide the
keys for the prevention of cancer or its reoccurrence.
Magnesium is a
universal medicine unequalled in the allopathic universe yet
it, along with iodine, the universal medicine widely
accepted and acknowledged a hundred years ago, are both
nutritional substances that are available in foods and as
isolated substances available at any local health food
store. No prescription or doctor needed. Both magnesium and
iodine are much safer and much more effective than the best
that allopathic medicine has to offer. They are also more
then necessary because the majority, perhaps as high as 90
percent of the population, is deficient in both magnesium
and iodine. Most estimates of vitamin and mineral
deficiencies in populations are based on the RDA (Federal
Required Daily Allowance) which are set obscenely low.
Dr Seeger and Dr Budwig in Germany have shown that
cancer is mainly the result of a faulty energy metabolism in
the powerhouses of the cells, the mitochondria. ATP and most
of the enzymes involved in the production of energy require
magnesium. A healthy cell has high magnesium and low calcium
levels. The problem that comes with low magnesium (Mg)
levels is the calcium builds up inside the cells while
energy production decreases as the mitochondria gradually
calcify.
It is known that
carcinogenesis induces magnesium distribution disturbances,
which cause magnesium mobilization through blood cells and
magnesium depletion in non-neoplastic tissues. Magnesium
deficiency seems to be carcinogenic, and in cases of solid
tumors, high levels of magnesium inhibit carcinogenesis.[iv]
Both carcinogenesis and magnesium deficiency increase the
plasma membrane permeability and fluidity.
Researchers all
over the world have confirmed the vital role that magnesium
holds in the avoidance and healing of the modern day plagues
of diabetes, heart disease, strokes, cancer, neurological
disorders and numerous musculoskeletal problems in both
children and adults. What we have found is that magnesium
chloride, applied transdermally, is the ideal magnesium
delivery system with health benefits unequalled in the
entire world of medicine.
Several studies have shown an increased cancer rate in
regions with low magnesium levels in soil and drinking water
as well. In Egypt the cancer rate was only about 10% of that
in Europe and America. In the rural fellah it was
practically non-existent. The main difference was an
extremely high magnesium intake of 2.5 to 3 g in these
cancer-free populations, ten times more than in most western
countries.[v]
The American Cancer
Society states that diabetes increases the risk of
developing colon cancer by 30 to 40 percent. This increase
in colon
cancer has recently been linked to the use of injected
insulin raising the clear and present danger that today’s
rDNA insulins are carcinogenic.[vi]
Guidelines
Sodium
Bicarbonate Cancer Protocols
Below are some
guidelines from
Dr. Simoncini for the successful use of sodium bicarbonate
which gives the knockout blow that quickly kills tumors. And
below that are some other guidlines for the everyday normal
use of sodium bicarbonate, a substance that all people
should think of switching to as a safe and inexpensive
deoderant. Not only can we avoid deoderants laced with
highly toxic aluminum but we can now have our deoderant be a
therapeutic affair. (See chapter

administered (150-200 cc 5%) daily for 6 days, then every
other day for ten days. At the end remove the catheter.
Reinsert it after 15 days, then repeat the whole treatment.
After that a check should be made. The patient should lay in
the bed with a pillow under the pelvis, with the aim to let
the SB remain in the stomach. Moreover, he has to turn

Boil 1-2-3 litres water. Put 3-4 big spoonful in; dip
the finger in the solution and taste if it is salty; if yes,
it is good also for the uterus. After the water is become
cold, put it in the vaginal duct with a pipe as follows: the
right position is in the bath tub with the legs upper than
the pelvis and the head lower than the pelvis (use some
plastic pillows under the pelvis). Take the solution and
push it slowly in the vaginal duct, so that it will fill the
cavity and then it will flow into the uterus. Moreover, the
patient has to turn around (one side every ten minutes,
supine, left side, right side, prone)) so that SB can

Heavy Metals and Chelation in Cancer Treatments
Cancer and heart
disease display spatial patterns
that suggest the possible involvement of selenium
deficiencies and mercury excess in their etiologies.[vii]
Mercury directly interferes with DNA repair enzymes.
Major focuses during
treatment are building the immune system, increasing supply
of glutathione, protect the mitochondria, stimulate
metabolism, clean the intestinal system and remove heavy
metals from both sides of the blood brain barrier.
During this past century the physical environment that
surrounds us has gotten incredibly toxic and even the
food most people eat acts to destroy rather than nourish.
We and our
children are being caught between a hammer and a hard place.
On one side we are being poisoned by the water we drink, the
air we breathe, the foods we eat, by the mercury amalgam
fillings in our mouths, by the vaccines we have taken, and
in general by the drugs we take.
None of the chemicals
on its own appears to be toxic at minuscule doses.
But what happens when a person is exposed to a whole
cocktail of them?
Dr. Amy Perbeck
The emerging compounds of
greatest concern to most scientists are the
"endocrine disrupters." These are chemicals in the
environment that mimic
hormones when they get into the body. An astonishing array
of chemicals
fall into this category and they have detrimental effects at
the lowest imaginable levels.
chemicals in certain cosmetics,
shampoos, shaving lotions, skin creams,dishwashing liquids,
pesticides, flame retardants, plastics and antibacterial
soaps. Like actual hormones, "they have effects at
exceedingly low levels," says Dr. Herb Buxton. Because so
many of them bind to a certain type of receptor in the
body-whether for estrogens, androgens or thyroid
hormones-the effects add up.
Some of the basic
symptoms that express the trap we have fallen into are:
fatigue, lethargy,
depression, headaches, allergies, chronic infection,
frequent colds, nervousness, and sudden anger, sensitivity
to perfume/odors, memory loss and joint pains. Thus in
cancer treatments it is extremely important to detoxify and
chelate out these
endocrine disrupters.[viii]
Uranium oxide
particles are DNA time bombs. Because of the
affinity of a phosphate in human DNA towards uranium,
these particles destroy the DNA so the disastrous effects
of depleted uranium won’t be limited to only one generation.
One type of
contamination reinforces and strengthens the other so
medical treatments need to simultaneously address both
chemical toxicity and radiation poisoning without further
poisoning the body.
Exposure to radiation
causes a cascade of free radicals that wreak havoc on the
body. Radiation also decimates the body's supply of
glutathione, which allows free radicals to run rampant
through our tissues and organs. Sadly with the insane use of
depleted uranium weapons, radiation levels are creeping up
all over the world, especially in the northern hemisphere.
The first law of
detoxification and chelation is to avoid exposure to toxins
as much as possible. Check your exposure vulnerability by
location at the
following site.
http://www.scorecard.org/env-releases/hap/rank-states.tcl
Though the
material (depleted uranium) generally used by the U.S.
Department of Defense is 40 percent less radioactive than
natural uranium it is not something you want to be exposed
to. The main cancer risk from inhaled depleted uranium
would be from tiny insoluble particles lodged deep in the
lungs. According to the inhalation-retention model
constructed by the International Commission on Radiation
Protection (ICRP), 15 percent of an insoluble inhaled
uranium oxide aerosol could be retained in the lungs for
more than a year.
Toxic heavy metals
that have been released into
our environment have reached such high levels that
everyone’s health is now seriously threatened.
The fact that
heavy metals cause chromosome damage makes it clear that
genetic causes are acting powerfully in the spread of
cancer.[ix]
Also importantly we see that the effect of a single chemical
exposure is very different from the effects of the same
chemical in a mixture. Experiments with single chemicals can
significantly underestimate effects of the same chemical in
mixtures. All these heavy metals and hostile chemicals like
pesticides can injure chromosomes, either by altering the
chemistry of a single gene so that the gene conveys improper
information, called “point mutation,” or by actually
breaking the chromosomes, called “deletion.”
Rapid rises in
disease are in part
provoked on the genetic level.
Increasingly,
the issue of heavy metals toxicity is being portrayed as a
"genetic issue" rather than an environmental one when
genetic deterioration is being driven by the huge rise in
heavy metals in the environment. It’s a clear case of
putting the horse before the cart since without the presence
of heavy metals there is no heavy metal poisoning.
Unlike when a patient
gets chemotherapy or radiation treatments, we build up the
body as we destroy cancer cells and most importantly help
the body detoxify by chelating out the heavy metals through
natural means. We also have to facilitate the elmination of
cancer waste.
Lack of selenium
may lead to cancer,
cardiovascular diseases and osteoarthritis.
Selenium helps stop
damaged DNA molecules from reproducing. In other words,
selenium acts to prevent tumors from developing. "It
contributes towards the death of cancerous and pre-cancer
cells. Their death appears to occur before they replicate,
thus helping stop cancer before it gets started," says Dr.
James Howenstine.
Dr. W Kostler wrote,
“The normal level of selenium should be 80 to 130 micrograms
per litre of blood. We check the levels of selenium in
different cancer patients at their first consultation in our
office - most of them suffer from a big deficiency in
selenium.”
Data suggests
that a diet rich in selenium protects against cancers of the
stomach, breast, esophagus, lung, prostate, colon, and
rectum. According to Dr. Harold Foster death rates in the
USA for cancer are lower when blood selenium levels are
high. One important study found that high blood levels
of selenium is associated with a four- to fivefold decrease
in the risk of prostate cancer. Scientists at Stanford
University studied 52 men who had prostate cancer and
compared them to 96 men who didn’t.[x]
One surprising finding was that blood levels of selenium
generally decreased with age. It is well known that the risk
of prostate cancer increases dramatically as one ages.
The
nuclear core of our nutritional protocol also includes ALA
(Alpha Lipoic Acid). ALA is a naturally occurring compound
that is synthesized in small amounts by plants and animals,
including humans. Alpha Lipoic Acid is a sulfurous fatty
acid and was first discovered in the 1950s, and recognized
it as an antioxidant in 1988. ALA works on the cellular
level to help produce energy. It acts as a coenzyme-a helper
of enzymes-in the cell’s major energy cycle, the Krebs
cycle.[xi] As a coenzyme, ALA takes part in a multi-enzyme
process preparing the fuel for the mitochondrion, the
powerhouse of the cell. Without alpha lipoic acid, cells
cannot utilize sugar to produce energy and they shut down.
This makes alpha-lipoic acid a metabolic antioxidant, able
to draw on the cell's own metabolism to magnify its
protective effects and that of other antioxidants.
ALA has the
ability to salvage and recycle other antioxidants
such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and glutathione.[xii],[xiii]
According to
Dr. Burt Berkson, the
doctor appointed by the FDA as the principle investigator
for intravenous use of ALA, and author of The Alpha
Lipoic Acid Breakthrough: “Several factors make ALA the
ultimate antioxidant.[xiv]
One
very basic reason is that ALA is both a hydrophilic and lipophilic molecule. Because it is hydrophilic, it is
soluble in blood and other watery body fluids. Because it is
lipophilic, it is also soluble in fats. In contrast, vitamin
C is only hydrophilic and vitamin E is only lipophilic.
These qualities
make ALA an ideal antioxidant that works double duty. It
prevents free radical damage in every setting regardless of
whether it is the brain fluids, the blood, stored fat, the
heart, the pancreas, the kidneys, bone, cartilage, the
liver, and for that matter every cell in every organ. ALA
can perform the same functions in the watery fluids of the
cell and in the blood and other aqueous fluids that come in
contact with the body’s tissues, just like vitamin C.
Because of these remarkable characteristics, ALA can also
easily pass through the blood-brain barrier and increase
brain energy availability.”
Glutathione,
which is produced by every cell in the body, is responsible
for a number of functions including removing or neutralizing
dangerous substances that we are exposed to on a daily
basis, including toxic metals. Toxins, pollution, disease,
stress, and poor diet can all contribute to loss of
glutathione. When glutathione levels reach a critically
low level, we are much more vulnerable to toxins and immune
dysfunction.
It was the genius of
Dr. Alan Greenburg who created what should be perceived as
one of the safest and most effective natural chelation
formulas. There are many approaches, substances, companies
and doctors offering detoxification and chelation products.
The great problem is finding science and in-depth studies to
back up the many claims being made.[xv]
There is only one product named Chelorex[xvi]
that supplies a list of vital substances that are more than
useful in any cancer protocol. Supplying ALA, vitamin C and
E, selenium, zinc, magnesium and a list of gluathione
promoters and mitocondria protectors, as well as natural
chelators, it offers a smooth path for the elimination of a
wide range of heavy metals including mercury and uranium.
Most pharmaceuticals are actually mitocondria poisons,
as are heavy metals and a host of toxic chemicals.
Protecting the mitocondria is of the highest priority in
cancer treatment.
Several more
substances round out the entire protocol giving it more
depth, utility and universality. We suggest, Lifestream
Probiotic, a second generation probiotic designed to
reproduce rapidly, and calcium bentonite[xvii] taken orally. Calcium bentonite clay literally removes
positive charged molecules that attack our bodies from our
bodies. According to an article published in the American
Journal of Clinical Nutrition, "Detoxification and Mineral
Supplementation As Functions of Geophagy" (Johns and
Duguette 1991), clay is a potent detoxifier, a catalyst that
assists the body in removal of chemical poisons and heavy
metals (positive charged ions) from the body.
In Chernobyl, for
instance, spirulina was used to help save many
children from radiation poisoning. By taking 5 grams of
spirulina
a day for 45 days, the Institute of Radiation Medicine in
Minsk
even proved that children on this protocol experienced
enhanced
immune systems, T-cell counts and reduced radioactivity.
Pure water is
also a basic element in the IMVA protocol and this is
presented in an upcoming book from IMVA publications, The
Waters of Life. Exceptionally pure water itself has a
strong pulling power on the impurities in the body the
problem is how to purify and then how to treat the water
before drinking. Distilled and Reverse Osmosis water is
thought not safe by many health care practitioners because
they lack bicarbonates and minerals which leads to the
formation of acid in the body. Part of the reason why our
body is acid is that it lacks enough bicarbonate necessary
to neutralize the acid. This problem is easily corrected in
our protocol for the sodium bicarbonate and thiosulfate is
added to the water.
Full hydration
with pure water provides the very foundation of successful
medical treatment.

Today we are seeing more and more cryptic lingering
infections due to so-called "stealth pathogens". In
the 60s we used to talk of the "smouldering virus"
but it is now abundantly clear that bacteria are
also to blame and so the broader term is preferred.
Notable are cytomegalovirus (CMV), Chlamydia
pneumoniae, Epstein-Barr and Borrelia bugdorferi (Lyme
disease). But there are others and probably plenty
more waiting to be discovered. A good doctor today,
when confronted with any kind of chronic disease,
must think of stealth pathogens. That in turn
implies terrain problems. And terrain means
pollution, possibly pesticides and chemicals, but
more probably heavy metal overload. It goes without
saying that cleaning up the metallosis is more
important than treating the pathogen or the disease,
though this is alien to the modern drug-based
medical canon! Professor Keith Scott-Mumby MB ChB,

events are part of a phenomenon called genomic
instability. Cancer cells are known to exhibit

ALA does not exhibit many
of the weaknesses found in many common antioxidants,
such as Vitamin C, Vitamin E, beta carotene,
cartenoids, and others, and has many added
advantages.
First of all, most antioxidants only defend against one or a few
varieties of ROS. ALA removes peroxyl, peroxynitrite,
hydroxyl, alkoxyl, and superoxide radicals, among
many others. Secondly, most antioxidants are tissue
specific. For example, many are either fat soluble (such
as Vitamin E) or water soluble (such as Vitamin C).
Alpha lipoic acid is fat soluble, and it's
metabolite, dihydrolipoic acid - which is another
potent antioxidant - is water soluble. Third, the
small size of the ALA molecule allows it to prevent
oxidation in areas where others cannot, such as
oxidation within the cell nucleus. Fourth, research
has shown ALA to be readily absorped (3), whereas
many other antioxidants are readily excreted or have
low bioavailability. Fifth, ALA recycles itself,
while many other antioxidants are rapidly oxidized
(4). Finally, ALA operates synergistically with
three other important antioxidants, glutathione,
Vitamin C, and Vitamin E. It allows Vitamin C to be
recycled (4), a synergistic effect has been shown
with Vitamin E (5), and both Vitamin E and Vitamin C
recycle ALA by donating electrons to ALA cations
(6). The fact that ALA increases production of
glutathione (7) is especially important. Glutathione
is one of the body's primary antioxidants. However,
exogenously administered glutathione does not cross
cell membranes, but ALA does.

In the area of chelation we have many companies
making claims. For example a product released by Dr.
Eliaz of modified citrus pectin and dietary alginate
claims, "Not only that, Pectasol® is the only
chelator of its kind that’s been shown to eliminate
toxic heavy metals and other dangerous substances on
humans. A recent pilot clinical trial – in which
patients were tested for 20 different toxic elements
and minerals – showed dramatic results." The data of
the (Pre clinical results) found at
http://dreliaz.com/abstracts_detail.php?result_set=1&ingred=30&abs=939
shows increased urinary excretion over 6 days of 3
metals (arsenic, mercury & cadmium) not 20 as
advertised and does it with a small group over a
short period of time. Comparing this study to
Science Formulas’ Chelorex 4yr study or to Dr.
George Georgiou’s studies in Russia is just not
possible. There are many products available and the
choices are bewildering. Words are easily said and
written but when it comes to removing heavy metals
it is very important to know what a product can do.
[xvii] Healing clays, which have been
used by indigenous cultures since before recorded
history, offer us a wonderful, safe, inexpensive and
effective medicine for the 21st Century. The pure
healing power of the earth evident in living clays
creates a better platform for the body to recover
from illness because it propels the immune system to
health, strengthening the body to a higher point of
resistance, something no allopathic medicine achieves.
Living Clay maintains its molecular integrity. It
does not break down and assimilate into the body. It
maintains a molecular whole as it passes through the
body acting like a vacuum cleaner or sponge carrying
poisons out of the body. Since clay is not digested
and assimilated as it passes through the alimentary
canal, the clay and the absorbed positive charged
ions are both eliminated together. It also pulls
toxins through the skin when applied topically in
clay baths.
