"Mistletoe extract has been shown to kill cancer cells in the laboratory and to affect the immune system. However, there is limited evidence that mistletoe's effects on the immune system help the body fight cancer (see Question 2 2 and Question 3 3)."

I didn't even bother reading the other sources because they're non-peer-reviewed news outlets. The only two reputable sources in that list say flat-out that mistletoe is inconclusive as a cancer drug. They offer no biochemical mechanism for its action nor any convincing statistics.

I have heard a few interesting albeit dubious and un-proven ideas.

I remember reading about curing stomache cancer by developing a bacterial infection in the tumor/cancer, thus triggering an immune response against the area, killing the cancer.

Also the reasoning behind marijuana is some what interesting. All cells have some kind of life cycle in which they grow and die. Some ingredient in marijauana (perhaps THC) slows that cycle and the cancer growth slows down, as well as the growth of un-cancerous cells.

Exactly! Cisplatin (a platinum-based compound drug) has been used for years to treat cancer because it causes DNA crosslinkage and death in subjected cells. Its anticancer properties are very well understood and very well documented. Mistletoe's anticancer properties have not been documented and are not well understood.

I thought the platinum stuff was a fluke.

Okay, so I heard the platinum lance armstrong tale from a visiting MD at my university giving a lecture. Hes kind of famous, his name is David Agus.

I forgot what he said exactly, but I thought he suggested that Lance might have recovered for a reason not even related to the platinum, but something incidentally related to the treatment.

Anyway, the over all point is there is little real understanding in medical science. We find something that surprisingly works and then we retroactively try and explain why it works, but usually we have no idea how or why anything happens the way it does. We just know Lance Armstrong got better when he did the platinum treatment.

Now if we find everyone who does the platinum treatment gets better, that would be amazing. Is that the case?

I'm assuming that Lance's platinum injections were actually cisplatin. Cisplatin has a solid history as a cancer drug and is used quite frequently.

>I forgot what he said exactly, but I thought he suggested that Lance might have recovered for a reason not even related to the platinum, but something incidentally related to the treatment.
This is certainly possible. Cancer is a funny thing, and his body might have fought it off on its own. But cisplatin has been shown statistically to increase tumor death.

>Anyway, the over all point is there is little real understanding in medical science. We find something that surprisingly works and then we retroactively try and explain why it works, but usually we have no idea how or why anything happens the way it does.

We actually do know how cisplatin works. Our biochemical descriptions of its mechanism are pretty detailed.

>Now if we find everyone who does the platinum treatment gets better, that would be amazing. Is that the case?
that would be pretty crazy and/or impossible. There are too many causes of cancer for there to be one single all-powerful cancer drug. But some drugs (like cisplatin) work on a good percentage of cancers.

Just taking stuff is not informative. Valjean is right in that you dont know anything unless you have done some serious controls and observations.

Mistletoe is actually sold commercially in Europe under the name Iscador. Don't know about its efficacy though.

If you're prepared to fight cancer the alternative way (because sometimes that's the only option left), I can say from personal experience that there's one thing that really seems to prolong life and improve well-being, and there's one thing that you should absolutely avoid. The first is a strong vitamin regimen, something like Linus Pauling and Abram Hoffer came up with, and the second is starving/fasting.

Some definitely do. The problem with sunscreens is that UV-absorbing compounds are usually dangerous to humans because they have conjugated systems (e.g. benzene). But a lot of them have been tested and are regarded as safe enough (e.g. PABA, zinc/titanium colloids). And, IMO, the benefits of wearing sunscreen outweigh the possible risks. Skin cancer is common in my family.

Link to the vitamin mix?

Yeah.

I actually got a really bad sun burn a few weeks ago. Probably should have worn sun screen.

It seems like one time exposure to sun screen is the best option. But I bet you also deny your body the signals it needs to enact defensive measures. If you arent being exposed to UV you arent producing melanin.

Or thats at least my understanding. I could be wrong.

>> No.4801255

>>4801243
Some UV exposure is necessary. But that amount is pretty small, and you can probably make do with what comes through the sunscreen. (this is my theory, don't quote me on it)

I can see how fasting would be effective. Cancer cells lose the ability to perform oxidative phosphorylation when they mutate and perform something called Warburg metabolism instead. Basically, they get energy solely from glycolysis. This process is super inefficient, so they need a lot of glucose - so much more than regular cells that we can actually ID cancer cells within someone's body by tracking glucose uptake. Fasting would decrease available glucose and would probably hit cancer cells harder than normal cells which can still use their mitochondria. Just a thought.

op here, you will never catch me wearing sun screen.
fuck that.
i also see no point in fasting.

i cant make you believe me, i just want more people to say "hey this seems interesting better read about it, since i dont have any other way to cure my cancer, why not try it"

Well it could cure cancer. Thats one reason.

Some of these studies indicate that mistletoe could be good for cancer patients, but the vast majority (all but 2) don't. Just saying.

>> No.4801302

>>4801285
so whats better, leaving cancer patients to help themselves and to die, or giving them something that may work, since they dont have any options.

its either death for them or a chance to not ide.

what do you think?

>> No.4801307

>>4801255

Yup, that's the theory but a week of fasting (a la 6-week Breuss diet) brought my father to the brink of death. After putting him back on a vitamin regimen he was like a man reborn and lived another 5 months. Limiting glucose intake is nevertheless critical, of course. He eliminated all sugar from his diet except for some fruit.

You were probably answering to my post. I can't find a good link now, and don't have books near me, but you can perhaps start here: http://www.doctoryourself.com/hoffer_cancer_2.html.. In addition to Hoffer, Kedar Prasad and Ralph Moss offer similar supplement programs.

Thats interesting.

I wonder what the practical different is between fasting with a diet of fruit and vegetables, and limiting calorie intake and just taking a bunch of vitamins.

I had some surgery on my jaw once that left me on a liquid diet for a month. Pretty crazy experience.

Every day I would grind up nuts and mix it with milk, and then eat (very carefully) a single grilled cheese sandwich. The effect of severe calorie restriction is pretty incredible.

why do they have no other options? there are lots of good chemotherapy drugs out there besides your mistletoe-alcohol mess.

I had a guy on a bus tell me something like this.
"there's a crystal called sodium chloride. You mix it in a 50 50 solution with water and then mix it with citric acid to make a 50 50 solution and when you drink that your body will be flooded with oxygen and you'll be cured of anything"

Nigger didn't know what sodium chloride was. He bought it "online" for a huge fucking price.

Go talk to my cancer biology prof, broski. She's got people invested in her new treatment at the moment, as do thousands of other cancer researchers. And just because chemo is old doesn't mean it isn't effective - it's still used to successfully kill tumors on a regular basis. In fact, it's MORE effective than it used to be.
