My Anti-Cancer Treatments: Vitamin D

This is a picture of me at my town beach getting a free dose of natural vitamin D from the sun!

In 2001, my vitamin D levels were very low at 11 ng/mL.

My vitamin D levels are now a very healthy 54 ng/mL!!!

Optimum levels for cancer prevention and treatment are between 34 and 60 ng/mL's, according to Dr. Mercola, who also claims that levels over 80 ng/mL's can actually increase your risk for cancer.

However, unlike with vitamin D supplements, you can not overdose of vitamin D from the sun, as your body automatically turns off the production of vitamin D when it has reached it's limit.

The benefits of obtaining vitamin D from the sun outweigh the risks of cancer.

The Vitamin D Council claims that current research indicates vitamin D deficiency plays a role in causing seventeen varieties of cancer as well as heart disease, stroke, hypertension, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, depression, chronic pain, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, muscle weakness, muscle wasting, birth defects, and periodontal disease.

Diagnosing Dana: Exhibit 6

Continuing my dental saga, I had the following blood abnormalities and diagnoses in the year 2001:

JANUARY 2001:Raynaud's Syndrome: I have had Raynaud's Syndrome since I was 15 years old. Raynaud's Syndrome is linked to mercury poisoning. After reading about mercury poisoning in 2002, I had my mercury fillings removed in 2002 and no longer have Raynaud's Syndrome.

Autoimmune Disease: Read about the link between mercury and autoimmune disease here.

I removed all of my mercury fillings in 2002, but my ANA titer did not change. However, after removing ALL of the toxic, carcinogenic and allergenic bridge and crown work placed in my mouth by Dr. Keefe, and undergoing chelation therapy and heavy metal detox, my ANA titer is now negative:


A positive ANA titer is seen in some lymphomas: Whether the relationship is causal or coincidental, the apparent importance of the possible relationship lies in the fact that the awareness of an underlying malignancy presenting with musculoskeletal complaints may allow for earlier recognition of an otherwise occult, but potentially curable neoplasm. Conversely, knowledge that a connective tissue disease may predispose to cancer may lead to early recognition of predictable malignancy.

I also had a swollen lymph node in my armpit that was found and noted in my physical exam records.

APRIL 2001:

Chronic sore throats. The sore throats would resolve only when the bridge placed in my mouth by Dr. Keefe was removed. I would later discover that the bridge broke when she installed it. It had a loose post and core and whatever was underneath it (infection and/or cancer) had been leaking into my mouth for THREE YEARS.

Night sweats are caused by Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, leukemia, lymphoma and AIDS. I tested negative to the AIDS virus.

JULY 2001:

Low Back Pain is seen in lymphoma.

Abnormalities of vitamin D deficiency and secondary hyperparathyroidism are common in patients with leukemia and lymphoma.

Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and sluggish adrenal function. This is also caused by mercury poisoning and has dissipated since removing my fillings and undergoing thirty chelation treatments.

My vitamin D levels were eventually brought up to 28 ng/mL with five doses of pharmaceutical grade 50,000 IU's of vitamin D3 by my endocrinologist, at which point he told me that that was all he could do for me and my visits were terminated.

He never told me that low vitamin D levels were found in all cancer patients and indicated a poor prognosis and survival, or that low vitamin D levels could lead to cancer.

AUGUST 2001:

Hyperinflation and air trapping. I had a completely normal CXR in October 1999. I became very short of breath after Dr. Keefe's dental work and even told my co-workers at the company I was working at when she did the work that I thought I had a "walking pneumonia", it was that bad.

Respiratory distress is a common sign of lymphoma.

The hyperinflation and airtrapping resolved upon the removal of Dr. Keefe's broken and toxic nickel bridgework in 2003, more than three years after it was installed.

OCTOBER 2001:

A follow-up MRI performed at UConn by Dr. Alexandra Flowers confirms her belief that the 7 mm lesion is a lipoma:

Dr. Flowers states in her report: "Most certainly, the small lipoma does not account for her symptoms."

NOVEMBER 2001:

Because my internet research tells me that brain lipomas are always greater than 2 cm, I am not convinced by Dr. Flowers diagnosis, so I arrange for a follow-up MRI done by neurosurgeon Dr. Stephan Lange at St. Francis Hospital, who confirms my suspicions:

This limits the diagnosis of this lesion to inflammation, blood clot, infection or malignancy.

Hypercoagulation (blood clotting) is seen in occult or hidden cancers, including lymphoma.

Hypercoagulation is seen is some cancers, including leukemia.

Mercury chloride causes hypercoagulation.

Mercury, aluminum and lead cause hypercoagulation.

Occupational exposure to mercury vapor causes hypercoagulation.

Hypercoagulability can be easily detected through the use of the well-known "sed-rate" blood test. Sed rate of less than 5 indicates hypercoagulability.

In 2000, my sed-rate was 4.

My sed rate is still 4, despite eliminating all exogenous causes of hypercoagulation such as heavy metals and stimulants, five years ago. Is my hypercoagulation being caused by an occult malignancy?
The "fat" (ddx: blood clot, lymphoma, etc.) involves a bone called the crista galla, which runs perpendicular to the cribriform plate. It is not in the brain.

However, I was never offered a biopsy of the lesion.

Instead, I am advised by my doctors to follow up with my dentist.

I still did not know at this time that Dr. Keefe had placed a nickel pin into my jawbone, into a tooth that was no good and directly over a potentially cancerous bone lesion and extraction site that had failed to heal . . . .

X-ray taken by Dr. Keefe March 2, 2000.

Photograph taken by Dr. Keefe, March 2 - April 3, 2000.

DECEMBER 2001:

On December 5, 2001, I finally made a follow-up visit with Dr. Keefe.

Because her husband is a hematologist-oncologist at St. Francis Hospital, and because I truly believed that they were my friends, I was hoping that she can help me solve this dilemma.

She took this follow-up x-ray of her bridgework and the surrounding bone:

However, she never showed me this x-ray, which shows that the extraction site had still not healed, and the dark radiolucent bone surrounding tooth #30 was getting darker.

Instead, she assured me that everything looked great.

Myeloma is also caused by nickel.

My Anti-CancerTreatments: Cesium Chloride

Cesium chloride is most commonly associated with High pH Therapy and cancer, due to the work of Keith Brewer, Nobel Prize winner Dr. Otto Warburg, and H.E. Sartori. They found that cancer cells thrive in an anaerobic (low oxygen) environment with low pH values, and that raising the cell pH makes it hard for cancer cells to survive. Cesium, being one of the most alkaline elements, has a high pH value and is readily taken up by cancer cells, thus raising their pH to a level at which they can no longer survive.

Cesium is able to eradicate cancer pain, especially bone pain, often within 12-24 hours.

It acts like lithium on the brain and helps with mood and depression.

Liquid cesium and potassium can easily be obtained over the internet. You need to order both, as cesium can deplete your potassium levels. They are very inexpensive.

Also, read "The pH Miracle - Balance Your Diet, Reclaim Your Health" by Dr. Robert O. Young, for tips on how build your immune system through an alkaline diet. This was the very first book I bought in the summer of 2003, right after I saw my MRI. Once you begin to feel better from taking cesium chloride, you will need to follow-up with an alkaline diet, or your symptoms will come right back again. Use cesium only until you get back on your feet again, and then use an alkaline, raw foods diet to maintain.

Listen to my dear friend Sebastian In The Morning tomorrow on WCCC 106.9 FM, between 6 am and 10 am.

He will be talking about cesium chloride and other alternative cancer treatments!

Use of Cesium Chloride to Cure Malignancies.

Read more here.

And here.

Use cesium chloride with SERRAPEPTASE for best results!

UPDATE: Sebastian called me (unexpectedly) during the alternative cancer treatments segment of his show this morning and put me on the air with him for about 10 minutes! I was so nervous for the first minute or two (I am a behind-the scenes kind of girl, who freezes up whenever the cameras or mike is on me), but once I got over the initial fear, I really started getting into it and I think I did okay overall.

It was a GREAT show. I hope he does more of them. Maybe I can convince him to do a weekly series on alternative health, as he has a very large audience in the morning of young people who need to become educated and informed health care consumers!

Leukemia, lymphoma, chronic fatigue syndrome, mercury poisoning . . . . medical and dental corruption . . . . it's all much more common than you would think.

Something's gotta change.

We need a natural health care revolution!!!

The Anticancer Diet: A New Way of Life

All of us have cancer cells in our bodies. But not all of us will develop cancer:

An interview with David Servan-Schreiber, MD, PHD.
Helping our natural defenses prevent and fight against cancer.

"The fight against cancer starts in the kitchen."

I guess this is one of the reasons that the French have the best health care system in the world.

When I was in Paris last summer, visiting my sister Stacy and her boyfriend Max, I had dinner with a woman whose young daughter had just come home with a homeopathic prescription for chest congestion. In America, she would have been give a pharmaceutical drug.

I was also a guest in the home of the head of marketing for a pharmaceutical company for three nights. He informed me that the pharmaceutical companies are losing money now as more and more advertising and health care dollars are being spent on consumer education and disease prevention.

The French also have fabulous food, and I am hoping to go back next summer with my boys.

Mangez!

À votre santé!

My Anti-Cancer Treatments: Sauna and Steam

Three years ago, I began to take a daily thirty minute sauna at my local YMCA, followed by a dip in the pool and a steam bath.

Taking a sauna is an excellent way to detox heavy metals, solvents, and other fat-stored toxins and carcinogens from the body.

It is an especially nice treatment during our cold New England winters.

I also include a 60 minute workout before hitting the sauna, for 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise and 30 minutes of weight training.

After six months of daily treatments, and because my gym is seventeen miles away and the price of gas has skyrocketed since 2005, I now do these treatments 3-4 times per week.

My Anti-Cancer Treatments: Vitamin K2

Vitamin K2 is found in chicken egg yolk, butter, cow liver, certain cheeses and fermented soybean products such as natto, the best source of vitamin K2.

Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin. The "K" is derived from the German word "koagulation." Coagulation refers to the process of blood clot formation.

Vitamin K2 is the most biologically active form of vitamin K, a vitamin that has anticancer properties, but is also known as "the forgotten vitamin" as very few supplements on the market contain it, and those that do contain very small amounts.

It is also the most beneficial form of vitamin K for bone health maximization.

Synthetic vitamin K2 (menatetrenone, or menaquinone-4 (MK-4)) may improve a group of blood disorders known as myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).

It also ameliorates cytopenia in patients with refractory anemia of myelodysplastic syndrome.

Vitamin K2 and its derivatives induce apoptosis in leukemia (CML) and lung cancer cells and enhance the effect of all-trans retinoic acid.

Vitamin K2 is also useful in the treatment of liver, colon, stomach, nasopharynx, breast, prostate, lymphoma, bone and oral cancers.

Synthetic vitamin K2 (menatetrenone, or menaquinone-4 (MK-4)) is hard to find at local health food stores, but high dose supplements can easily be purchased over the internet, or can be obtained by prescription. The doses used for myelodysplasia and leukemia range from 20 mg to 135 mgs per day, with 45 mgs per day being the average. The time required before obtaining some hematologic improvement after initiation of vitamin K2 therapy ranges from 1 to 3 months.

It should be taken with a fat, such as organic coconut milk, to make it more bioavailable, or should come in a gel cap, like vitamins D and E.

Vitamin K2 is completely non-toxic and has no side effects, even at very large doses.

Natto is particularly rich in the highly bioavailable form of vitamin K2 called menaquinone-7 (MK-7).

Natto provides natural vitamin K2 as menaquinone-7 (MK-7), which is the most bioavailable form of K2 available, and also has the longest half-life in the blood. This provides optimal vitamin K status with a recommended daily dose of just 45-90 mcg.

You can buy the natural vitamin K2 through Dr. Mercola:
Fight Cancer With Vitamin K

Natto: The Fermented Soybean That Fights Cancer and Hot Flashes.

Vitamin K2 has also been linked to osteoblasts, the cells that generate or "lay down" bone and produce a specific protein known as osteocalcin:

Vitamin K2 Prevents and Reverses Bone Loss

Life Extension Magazine article on Vitamin K2, March 2008

Vitamin K2 is normally produced by bacteria in the intestines, and dietary deficiency is rare, unless the intestines are heavily damaged or are unable to absorb the molecule, such as in malabsorption syndromes, or through the chronic use of drugs/medications, alcohol or antibiotics.

Natto also contains nattokinase, a very popular enzyme used against cancer and clots.

UPDATE 07/03/08: Since I posted this blog entry, there have been numerous visits to my site by people searching for natural treatments for myelodysplasia and leukemia, and iHerb keeps running out of it's high-dose Carlson Vitamin K2. Please put yourself on the list to be notified when they are back in stock. It seems that they re-stock it every couple of days, but it sells out very fast, within hours. So, order fast when you are notified by email that they have it in stock again! You should take Carlson K2 with an oil to make it more bioavailable, as it is synthetic.

LEF Nutritional Supplementation for Specific Forms of Leukemia

For non-leukemia cancers:

Kiran Krishnan (see the comments to this blog entry) recommends Dr. Mercola's vitamin K2 or Swanson's K2 called MenaQ7, at 100 mcg. per day.

Safety of Vitamin K2 with Respect to Hypercoagulation in Humans:

From a large number of clinical trials using dosages in excess of 40 mg/day, there were no reports of side effects associated with any type of hypercoagulable state. (1,27,35.36) Both animal and clinical studies support the conclusion that vitamin K2 has no abnormal hemostatic activity. In one study, vitamin K2 given to rats at a dose of 250 mg/kg body weight per day for 10 days resulted in no appreciable change in blood coagulation characteristics or platelet aggregation. (37)

Diagnosing Dana: Exhibit 4

Following the dental procedures performed on me by Theresa F. Keefe, DMD, I began to feel very ill. In October of 2000, I began to experience frontal headaches and severe fatigue with drenching nightsweats, so I asked my sleep disorder doctor for an MRI at UConn Health Center.

After the MRI was performed, I asked the radiology technician if I could see the computer images, as I was quite fascinated with this new technology. She allowed me to view the results and we started by viewing the top of the brain and went all the way down to the lower jawbone. When we got to the mandible, we noticed white ring that completely encircled the bridge that Dr. Keefe had just placed into my mouth. I asked the technician what it was, and she told me that she did not know, that I would have to follow up with my primary care physician, which I did:

Click on image to enlarge.

During this visit, I also showed my doctor what felt like very hard veins that started at the bottom of my right jawbone and went down the side of my neck. He told me that this was fibrin.

My doctor then told me that there was nothing mentioned in the radiologist's report about this potential mandibular lesion and that perhaps it was an artefact.

I was not worried. I knew that Dr. Keefe taught dental classes at UConn, I had listed my doctor's name at UConn in her new patient registration form, and she had promised me that there was no pathology in my jawbone before placing the bridge in my mouth.

If she had made a mistake, surely she would be notified and call me in to her office fix her mistake. Right?

I had complete faith in our conventional health care system!

By this time, I had finished painting Dr. Keefe's living room and dining room (in a beautiful gold on cream damask design), and still had to paint her very large two story foyer to pay for the dental work she performed on me, but my health was spiraling downhill, and fast . . . .

My Anti-Cancer Treatments: Pineapple

This was my dessert tonight.

Pineapple works against all kinds of cancers, including lymphoma, leukemia and myelodysplasia.

Always buy fresh pineapple, never canned.
