Preface
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness…” Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities
We live in a golden age of inventions and discoveries. Your smartphone has more computing power than the mainframe computers at the Social Security Administration in the 1950s. Moore’s law speaks of the doubling of computing power every two years. Satellite communications, GPS for directions, the staggering capabilities of the internet are examples of our modern technological accomplishments. Medicine has been keeping pace with technology. Telemedicine has a specialist thousands of miles away reading radiology results for the patient. 3D printing allows doctors to make custom spare parts for a human. Robotic surgery takes away the limitations of imperfect human surgery. Lasik, hip and knee replacements, dialysis, deciphering the DNA, targeted drugs. Pain management drugs to allow millions to live in relative comfort. All well and good.

The dark side of technology is that we developed the naïve assumption that modern humans have transcended the laws of nature. That we can live on cadaver foods full of chemicals with no nourishment. That we can stare at a screen for 10 hours a day and not suffer the consequences. That we can live in a polluted and stress filled environment and not reap the harvest from our lifestyle.

88% of Americans have some metabolic disorder. 2/3 of Americans are overweight. The incidence of diabetes has skyrocketed from the rare rich obese man to now 30 million Americans have it and another 60 million are prediabetic. Nearly 6 million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease. In one generation autism incidence has grown from 1 in 5000 to now 1 in 59. Cancer incidence has increased from 1% of deaths in 1900 to 24% of deaths in 2017. Technology and our modern lifestyle have come with a cost.

In spite of the extraordinary developments of our modern culture, we are still a billion-year old carbon. The needs and limitations of our body has not changed measurably since the first human emerged 2 million years ago. We ignore our ingrained biological needs and pump $480 billion worth of toxic prescription medications into our bodies in a futile attempt to subdue symptoms resulting from ignoring the laws of nature. But fear not. There are answers to many of the above health dilemmas and they are evidence-based, simple, cheap, and easy to incorporate into your lifestyle.

This book is about your healing from cancer while working with your doctor. Everything mentioned in this book is meant to buttress your doctor’s best care, not to replace it. Let’s be clear. I do not cure anyone. I am an educator with a rare grasp of the keys required to unlock your body’s unfathomable healing capacity. Your true doctor lives within you. And together, we are going to bring your innate healing capacity up to its peak.
This book was 14 years in the making. This book is meant to be an advanced companion to my 2005 bestseller, BEATING CANCER WITH NUTRITION. This book is a consolidation of my 20 years of education, 40 years of professional experience, thousands of patients that I counselled, hundreds of textbooks that I have read, thousands of peer reviewed journal articles I have read, and over 600 hours of postgraduate training at seminars. Do not underestimate the power in this information.
The feedback I received over the past years has helped to shape this book into its format. Plenty of color illustrations are used. “A picture is worth a thousand words.” And a lot easier and more enjoyable to grasp. Large type is used since many cancer patients are older and may have compromised vision. No words are wasted in this book. Words are simply tools to bridge the gap between my mind and your mind. I am not trying to impress anyone with my vocabulary, but simply choosing the proper tool for the job.

Each of these chapters could have been a semester class in college rich in bombastic scientific language. I have spared you the trouble. This book is interactive. Those who are reading the e-book or Kindle version will be able to click on hyperlinks to visit the original study or website. This book is meant to provide you with a short, punchy, easy to read, colorful, bullet point guide to get your body back into prime healing mode. Without further ado, let’s do this.
KEY 1
UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM

Chapter 1 War on Cancer: a Qualified Failure
“Modern medicine is based on a lie.” Dale Bredesen, MD, author of bestselling book THE END OF ALZHEIMER’S

FROM NATURE’S PHARMACY: Phytic Acid
IP6 and protease inhibitors. Did nature make a mistake? Whole grains and legumes contain a substance called phytic acid, which binds up minerals, especially iron, and escorts them out of the system. Phytic acid is a seed’s way of storing phosphorus, like a school lunch bucket. For decades in the later 20th century, nutritionists thought that phytic acid must have been some mistake or “anti-nutrient” in whole grains and legumes, hence providing even more enthusiasm for processing grains down to white flour. In fact, we now find that phytic acid is one of the key ingredients in plant food lowering the risk for various cancers, kidney stones, heart disease, and liver disease . 1 Best sources include beans, brown rice, sesame seeds, and corn. Phytic acid is now sold as a nutrition supplement: IP6, inositol hexaphosphate 6. In a similar vein, protease inhibitors are substances in legumes, especially soybeans, which can inhibit enzymes that break down protein in the gut. Again, nutritionists thought of protease inhibitors as “anti-nutrients”. Raw legumes are unhealthy. However, there is now compelling evidence that these protease inhibitors actually are very therapeutic in retarding cancer growth, and even allowing humans to better tolerate radiation without serious side effects. Protease inhibitor drugs are now the fashionable trend in the pharmaceutical industry in slowing down the growth of viruses, including AIDS. Nature knows what it is doing. Do not bet against the wisdom of whole foods.

This chapter is intended to provide a wakeup call for cancer patients. While your oncologist is likely to recommend chemo, radiation, and/or surgery; there is compelling evidence that these therapies are not enough to give you the best chance of remission or even extension of lifespan. This chapter is your roadmap to augment your doctor’s best care in providing integrative health care while undergoing conventional cancer treatment.
Cancer is not a new phenomenon. Archeologists have discovered tumors on dinosaur skeletons and Egyptian mummies. From 1600 B.C. on, hi
