Chemotherapy
Orthodox Medical Procedure utilized in the treatment of Cancer that involves the use of
Antimetabolites or Cytotoxic Drugs to kill Cancer cells.
Toxic Effects of Chemotherapy
Cardiovascular System
Many of the Anti-Cancer Pharmaceutical Drugs utilized in Chemotherapy can
cause Macrocytic Anaemia [scientific research].
Digestive System
Although Chemotherapy is employed by orthodox medical practitiners to treat Cancer, it
often increases the subsequent risk of developing other forms of Cance later in life
[scientific research - chemotherapy patients are 14 times more likely to develop
Leukaemia than patients who have not undergone chemotherapy and chemotherapy
patients are 6 times more likely to develop cancer of the bones, joints and soft tissue].
Chemotherapy causes the barrier of the Intestine to become permeable and leaky
and allows Detrimental Bacteria to enter the bloodstream.
Chemotherapy destroys the Villi of the Small Intestine (small projections from the
Intestinal Wall of the Small Intestine that are the primary site of digestion of nutrients).
The Pharmaceutical Drugs utilized during the administration of Chemotherapy
often cause Vomiting.
Immune System
Chemotherapy damages the Bone Marrow.
Although Chemotherapy is an orthodox medical treatment for many forms of
Cancer, it can exacerbate Cancer through its unselective killing of the body's Cells.
Chemotherapy suppresses the Immune System:
Chemotherapy Interferes with these Substances
Amino Acids
Chemotherapy causes severe depletion of Taurine (therefore supplemental
Taurine is considered beneficial for any person undergoing Chemotherapy) [scientific
research - humans receiving Chemotherapy for the treatment of Cancer exhibited serum
Taurine levels less than half of those of control subjects].
Vitamins
Most forms of Chemotherapy interfere with the intestinal absorption of dietary
Vitamin K and interfere with Vitamin K synthesis in the Liver.
These Substances Enhance Chemotherapy's Ability to Kill Tumours
Amino Acids
When Glutamine is supplemented in conjunction with Chemotherapy, tumours decrease
in size by 45%, compared to 25% when Glutamine is not supplemented - Glutamine also
increases the survival rate of Chemotherapy patients [scientific research - animals].
Carbohydrates
Lentinan improves the effectiveness of many of the Anti-Cancer Pharmaceutical
Drugs utilized in Chemotherapy [scientific research - humans].
Peptides/Proteins
Thymic Protein A (TPA) counteracts the suppression of the Immune System that
occurs in Cancer patients undergoing Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy [scientific
research - humans].
Sulphuric Compounds
Dimethyl Sulphoxide (DMSO) potentiates the ability of Pharmaceutical Drugs
employed in Chemotherapy to destroy tumours, thereby allowing lower dosages of
Chemotherapy drugs to be administered: DMSO considerably reduces the toxic side
effects of Cyclophosphamide (a Cytotoxic Drug commonly used in Chemotherapy).
These Substances Reduce the Side-Effects of Chemotherapy or Increase the
Effectiveness of Chemotherapy
Hormones
Melatonin protects against many of the toxic effects of Chemotherapy.
Immune System Chemicals
Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) (administered by
a physician by injection) accelerates the recovery in the growth of Eosinophils and
Neutrophils following administration of Anti-Cancer Pharmaceuticals during
Chemotherapy for the treatment of Cancer.
Alkaloids
Swainsonine reduces the toxicity of many of the Cytotoxic Drugs utilized in
Chemotherapy for the treatment of Cancer [scientific research].
Amino Acids
Cysteine reduces the side-effects that occur during Chemotherapy.
Glutamine alleviates numerous toxic side-effects of Chemotherapy:
Glutamine enhances the repair of Intestines damaged by Chemotherapy.
Glutamine helps to repair the damage that Chemotherapy causes to the Immune
System. When Glutamine is supplemented in Chemotherapy subjects the infection rate
drops to 3%, compared to 100% without Glutamine [scientific research - animals].
Glutamine soothes, relieves the pain of and quickly heals open sores in the mouth
(oral mucositis) caused by Chemotherapy [patients in a Boston hospital are given 5,000
mg Glutamine 6 times every day to achieve this effect].
Glutamine's positive effects as an adjunct to Chemotherapy treatment is believed
to be due to its ability to stimulate Glutathione production.
Supplemental Taurine counteracts the severe depletion of serum Taurine caused
by the Pharmaceutical Drugs utilized in Chemotherapy.
Carbohydrates
Beta 1,6 Glucan reduces the side effects of Chemotherapy (including
Erythropheresis, Leukopaenia, Hair Loss, Nausea, Pain and Vomiting).
Minerals
The Lithium Carbonate form of Lithium protects against the toxic effects of
Chemotherapy on the Blood [scientific research].
Terpenes
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) alleviates the Nausea and Vomiting that occur as a
result of Chemotherapy (by binding to the Opioid Receptors within the Brain) [caution:
THC usage is illegal in most parts of the world - it is the active constituent of Marijuana].
Vitamins
Supplemental Vitamin A increases the effectiveness of Chemotherapy when
supplemental Vitamin A is used as a co-treatment with Chemotherapy in the treatment of
Cancer [scientific research].
Vitamin E reduces the toxicity of some of the Anti-Cancer Pharmaceutical Drugs utilized
in Chemotherapy [scientific research - animals].
These Herbs/Supplements Reduce the Side-Effects of Chemotherapy
Animal Organ Extracts
Thymus Extract counteracts the suppression of the Immune System caused by
Chemotherapy [scientific research]:
Thymus Extract stimulates the production of White Blood Cells where White
Blood Cell counts are lowered by Chemotherapy.
Herbs
Asiatic Ginseng (Korean Ginseng) reduces the side-effects of Chemotherapy.
Astragalus reduces the toxicity of many of the Anti-Cancer Pharmaceuticals utilized in
Chemotherapy [scientific research].
Cat’s Claw is claimed to minimize the toxic side effects of Chemotherapy [physician’s
observations].
Marijuana alleviates the Nausea and Vomiting experienced by persons undergoing
Chemotherapy treatment [caution: Marijuana is an illicit substance in most regions].
Siberian Ginseng counteracts the toxic side effects of Chemotherapy.
