Recently a study involving breast cancer and the taking of supplements hit the press and needless to say the results were not so positive. But having these studies performed does make the public at general question the effectiveness of their health care program. This is not a bad thing to do, as long as the bottom line does not keep them in confusion!

But this has always been the way the powers that be like to keep the public; confused and in need. Look around, try to find things that are positive, uplifting and certain, it is not available, read the headlines, magazine covers, and view the news this is definitely a time of uncertainty and people more than ever are not in their own power, but are looking for direction.

Now let us look at the whole health care system and not just at some isolated study.

I have been in practice for over 15 years as a Naturopathic Physician and have been associated in the health care industry for over 25 years. I will tell you now, there is no magic bullet, no wonder drug, and no program that is designed to benefit everyone. Health care is as individual as your finger prints, we all react differently. The question I am always asked is “what would you recommend for me to take for my health”, and then they begin to list their symptoms. I always answer “that it is not a program, but a way of life”. I believe the first approach to any health program begins from within the individual themselves, a sense of peace must be felt under all circumstances through sickness and health.

I have had patients that have been through the medical route and after exhausting all of  their medical choices they are then advised to prepare their estate, for nothing further can be done for them. I have had patients come into my office in tears looking for some miracle wanting to grab any strand of hope. My belief has always been as long as there is breath then there is still hope. All healing begins in the mind. The moment you are told you have cancer or some other terminal disease you embrace the fear mode and start to look for the signs of death. It is never an easy discovery to be told that you are sick or dying, but we must all come to the place of inner peace and if healing is to come, it will begin from within. Supplements and all other forms of treatments will only start to work once faith is restored and a positive focus is used. See yourself becoming stronger, ignore the symptoms and focus on health not sickness, think life not death.

The study was conducted in Vancouver, BC, Canada and the results were published by the Canadian Press on December 4, 2002, with the headlines “Women who take vitamins and minerals for breast cancer may do harm”. We will not include this study in this report, but if you search the web you will see many different opinions, but what report is correct? It is hard to say so much depends on who is funding the research and then the patients themselves vary greatly.

There are wonderful products on the market for breast and other cancer forms, and we will list some of them, an individual needs to be convinced first, then they become concerned.

-Laetrile: (read following research).

Dr. Hans Nieper is a world famous oncologist and the developer of the standard anti-cancer cytotoxic drug cyclophosphamide. In 1972 Nieper told reporters while in the U.S.: "After more than 20 years of such specialized work, I have found the non-toxic Nitrilosides - that is, Laetrile - far superior to any other known cancer treatment or preventive. In my opinion it is the only existing possibility for the ultimate control of cancer."

It should thus be clear that among doctors who have worked with Laetrile; its anti-cancer effect is highly   regarded.   The   combination   of epidemiological evidence, animal studies and informed clinical opinion supports the belief that Laetrile has significant anti-cancer effect. This is perhaps why the anti-laetrile medical establishment has focused on scaring people away from Laetrile use through the "great cyanide scare."

LAETRILE: SAFE USAGE
When Laetrile is used therapeutically, it is usually given either intravenously, at doses from one to nine Gms, or orally, at doses of 500mg, two to four times daily. To maximize the safety and effectiveness of oral Laetrile, it is imperative that it be taken on an empty stomach, either two hours before or three hours after a meal. Never combine oral Laetrile with raw almonds or raw apricot kernels, or raw vegetable or bean sprouts, as these are high in the cyanide-releasing beta-glucosidase enzyme. According to Krebs (the "father" of Laetrile), approximately 50-200 mg/day of Laetrile, taken like vitamins (which Krebs believed Laetrile to be) on an open-ended, on-going basis, will provide a cancer-preventive effect. Assuming one has not eaten for at least three hours before retiring; taking a small Laetrile preventive dose at bedtime may be the best strategy. Laetrile ingestion may occasionally cause a temporary low blood pressure reaction due to formation of thiocyanate, a powerful blood pressure lowering agent.
