The Truth About Cancer Featuring: Cancer Survivor Story - Angela & Gerard Mitchell - Brain Cancer & Melanoma

This is Gerards and Angelas story, as how they fought cancer together, and stayed strong while battling brain cancer and melanoma. Gerald Mitchell was diagnosed with Stage 4 astrocytoma (brain cancer) in May 2014, and was given 12-18 months to "get his affairs in order" after having the tumor removed. Surprised at the finality of this statement, he knew he had to do something. Twenty years prior, his wife Angela had been diagnosed with melanoma and had experienced healing through a holistic program. Gerald & Angela began researching alternative methods even though the hospital told him that chemotherapy and radiation were his only options. The hospital staff even seemed upset when Gerald rejected their options.
After a 9-month body cleanse including a vegetarian diet and little to no sugar, he lost 50 pounds and felt the best he'd ever felt. He was even out golfing and playing hockey regularly! They found naturopaths to do vitamin C infusions and guide them on other holistic protocols including taking a number of supplements. Gerald continues with the protocol to this day and says, "Things are working out so far!" Gerald and Angela both strongly recommend that you "go with your gut" when it comes to determining the right solution for you. They committed to doing the research and seeking out alternatives they felt good about. Listen to their story in the video above for more on both of their cancer journeys and the outcome of their decision to choose a natural option.

The Cancer Industry and the Medical Mafia
Want to BAN these exciting new breakthroughs. Why?
Because they work BETTER than chemotherapy, radiation and surgery COMBINED!

“Terminal” cancer patients are ALIVE and WELL.
Find out what saved their lives –
and possibly YOURS…

If you – or someone you love has cancer – you don’t have time to waste.

And if you’re looking for alternative treatments to the “Big 3”: Surgery, Chemotherapy and Radiation – you don’t have time to sift through the hype, sham and snake oil remedies promising “miracle cures.”

And you certainly don’t want to be a guinea pig! You want REAL, PROVEN, SUCCESSFUL treatments that worked for THOUSANDS of folks before you. Am I right?

If so – you’re about to uncover 3 little-known – yet HIGHLY effective cancer treatments with a PROVEN TRACK record for SUCCESS.

Yes, I’m talking about 50% success rate for TERMINAL cancer patients...

... and 80% to 99% success rate on patients whose cancer hasn’t spread to other organs!

But I can tell you this right now:

You won’t hear about these phenomenal cures from your doctor – even though scientific research, studies and medical data PROVE they work. Why?

Because even if your doctor knew about these treatments – he’s forbidden to recommend them!

That’s right – the medical establishment – or more accurately, the “medical mafia” – can strip your doctor of his medical license if he dares to recommend anything besides the “Big 3”: Surgery, Chemotherapy and Radiation!

New study shows eating right prevents cancer

New Study Shows Eating Right Helps Prevent Pancreatic Cancer     Your pancreas is a gland behind your stomach and in front of your spine. It produces insulin and other hormones that are essential to life. The pancreas also produces digestive enzymes you need to help your body break down food. You can't live without this organ.     For this reason, cancer of the pancreas is one of the most dreaded types of cancer. It progresses fast -- and it's nearly always fatal (at least it is if you choose conventional treatments.)     And don't count on early detection to save you. This important gland is hidden behind other organs, so it's hard to catch pancreatic cancer early. Doctors may not be able to feel tumors during routine exams.     Also, symptoms of the disease, such as yellowing of the skin and eyes, abdominal or back pain, weight loss and fatigue are associated with other diseases. They don't instantly lead your doctor to suspect the pancreas.     So, this is a tough cancer and you want to make sure you never get it. Here's something that will help. . . Continued below. . . Cancer -- Step Outside the Box The secret to curing cancer: You've been throwing it in the trash!     In 1921, a British doctor discovered that members of a remote native tribe were almost totally cancer-free. But when members of this tribe move away from their native land and change their diet, they get cancer just like anyone else.     It's all thanks to a food most of us throw away as waste — a food that's rich inamygdalin — what most of us call Laetrile.     Click here now and watch a video presentation about this cancer breakthrough. One cancer expert calls this overlooked food "the key to curing AND preventing cancer" — and you can benefit now — without going to a doctor or buying expensive supplements. This little throwaway food tastes great. Bill Clinton, of all people, eats a certain amygdalin-rich food all the time, and so can you. Click here now to watch the video!     Some encouraging news comes from a recent study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.     A team of researchers from the NCI and other organizations studied more than 500,000 people aged 50 to 71 who were participants in a long-term study tracking their eating habits.     The researchers compared their diets with the federal government's 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which recommended plenty of fruits, vegetables, beans and whole grains.     The government guidelines, updated in 2010, also suggested low-fat or fat-free dairy products and limited fat and added sugars.     After following the group for 10 years, the investigators found that 2,383 of the 500,000 people in the study developed pancreatic cancer.     They also discovered that people who most closely followed the 2005 dietary guidelines lowered their pancreatic cancer risk by 15 percent.     The researchers cautioned that these findings need to be confirmed before they can say for sure whether certain eating habits reduce pancreatic cancer risk. They're being very cautious.     As far as I'm concerned, the new study confirms again what's no surprise to readers of this newsletter: Your diet has a strong influence on whether you develop cancer.     But the government's "Dietary Guidelines for Americans" aren’t the last word on good nutrition. From what I know about diet and cancer (which is quite a bit, if I do say so myself) — the fruits, vegetables and beans are probably the part of the government's recommendations that do the most good. The whole grains they recommend are certainly better than refined grains stripped of fiber and some nutrients. But carbohydrates in general should be kept to a minimum, even whole grains.     Likewise, low-fat or fat-free dairy products are a dubious idea. The only kind of milk I mightrecommend would be raw, unprocessed milk, which is mighty hard to find. And their recommendation to avoid fats. . .hmmm. Well, it depends on the type of fat. Some fats are healthy (see our Issue #247) — healthier, in fact, than the carbohydrates the government recommends . Yes, fats are better for you than carbs.     Summing up, the diet recommendations the NCI examined in this study ARE healthier than the standard American diet (SAD), which is so bad it amounts to slow suicide. I'm not surprised the recommended foods appear to lower the rate of pancreatic cancer, as this study indicates. But you can do even better.

Tap into the Healing Power of Honey     Whether you add it to your tea or spread it on a piece of bread, you might be one of many folks who enjoy honey as a sweet treat for your taste buds.     But ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Romans and others knew something else: This sticky bee product can be a valuable medicine, too!     India's 4000-year-old Ayurveda tradition identifies honey as a valuable medicine for ALL body imbalances. Fast forward to the 21st century and you'll find quite a few champions of honey as a healer in our own times, too. Let's take a look at a recent discovery that might have special value for cancer patients... Continued below... 3 Toxic Snack Foods That You Must Stay Away From     In a world where you're always on the go, it can be difficult to prepare a snack that is wholesome from home and you end up turning to convenience snacks along the way - ones that you can quickly grab and put in your purse or desk at work.     Snacking can be a part of healthy diet plan and can help you achieve optimal energy levels throughout the day while keeping your blood sugar levels more stabilized, but, if you're not careful with the snack choices you're choosing, you could be doing far more harm than good.     Here are three toxic snack foods that you should do away with immediately.     1 single flat belly tip that you didn't know <= click here       1. Processed Cheese       2. Chips and Crackers       3. Energy Bars     Click here to find out why you need to eliminate them from your dietimmediately!!!     The discovery originates with New Zealand biochemist Peter Molan, who works at the Honey Research Unit at the University of Waikato. He focuses on the remarkable healing properties of a specific type of honey.     Dr. Molan believes the flowers of the native New Zealand manuka bush produce honey with antibacterial properties head and shoulders above other products.     Let me explain what it is about manuka honey that makes it such a promising treatment—even for cancer patients with wounds to heal. Manuka honey's got that 'special something…'     European honey bees produce this outstanding health elixir by extracting nectar from the manuka or tea tree. This flowering plant in the myrtle family is native to New Zealand and southeast Australia.     An enzyme that bees add to the nectar produces hydrogen peroxide in all honeys. Dr. Molan said that manuka honey—and its close relative which is made from the Australia jellybush—contains a little extra something…     But after more than two decades of research, Molan still couldn't say just what that special something is. He decided to call it the unique manuka factor (UMF).     Another researcher, Professor Thomas Henle form the Institute of Food Chemistry at the Technical University of Dresden, Germany, determined that the extra 'kick' in manuka honey comes from methylglyoxal (MG).     Small amounts of MG are in most types of honey. In manuka honey, MG comes from the conversion of dihydroxyacetone—which is found in higher concentration in the nectar of manuka flowers.     So maybe it's that extra MG that makes manuka honey such a strong antibacterial.     According to Dr. Molan, when he compares the bacteria fighting ability of the UMF in manuka honey to other carbolic or phenol antiseptics, the results are nothing short of amazing. Manuka honey makes the toughest bacteria run for cover!     Medical professionals are finding that even the toughest new strains of antibiotic-resistant bacteria don't stand a chance when they're treated with manuka honey.     Superbugs such as the dreaded Staphylococcus aureas and its evil cousin MRSA are no match for this amazing natural antibiotic.     A group of Canadian researchers published findings in the journal Otolaryngology — Head and Neck Surgery, which concluded that manuka honey has "bactericidal properties superior to those of most commonly used antimicrobials."     Similarly, a 2002 review found that despite the small number of clinical studies on living patients (in vivo), the antibacterial properties of manuka and other honeys had been demonstrated in studies of lab cultures (in vitro).     These reviewers concluded that there was a potential for its use in "the management of a large number of wound types."     Dr. Molan is quoted in a BBC News interview as saying, "We know it has a very broad spectrum of action… we haven't found anything it doesn't work on among infectious organisms." So what did the Egyptians know that we're just finding out?     Ancient writings show that honey was commonly used as a type of healing ointment for open wounds and sores.     Its natural antibiotic properties helped keep the wounds from becoming infected—which could also lead to other health problems. For many years I've heard authorities in natural medicine recommend honey as a wound dressing to prevent infection. It appears that manuka may be quite a bit more powerful than the average honey.     Manuka honey is being touted as a marvelous all-purpose medicine that can help: Heal surgical wounds, particularly for diabetic patients. Improve superficial burns Stop uncomfortable inflammation in its tracks Treat leg ulcers, pressure sores and wounds from cancers that break through skin And much more!     Even the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) agrees that honey could be a simple and effective treatment to help injured persons.     Believe it or not, the FDA approved manuka honey as a wound management treatment in 2007.     And you better believe that watchful entrepreneurs got their wagons rolling not long after this decision…     For example, the New Jersey company Derma Sciences Inc., a maker of advanced wound care products, started selling the first honey-based dressings in the U.S.     Their product is called Medihoney. It's made from a highly absorbent seaweed-based material saturated with manuka honey.     Dr. Molan also developed wound dressings that are marketed by the New Zealand companyComvita.     These dressings could be especially helpful to cancer patients who experience wounds or ulcers as a result of radiation therapy.     But if you're not in the market for wound dressings — don't despair! There are other manuka honey products available from reputable companies. For example, you'll find manuka honey oil, throat spray, lozenges and other products marketed by Manuka Health-New Zealand (http://www.manukahoneyus.com/ ).     See what kind of protection and sweet relief you experience by discovering the power of this ancient health remedy!

Cancer -- Step Outside the Box

Did Angelina Jolie do the right thing?

Angelina Jolie and "Pre-Surgery" — Is This a Smart Way to Beat Cancer?                                        The whole world knows about actress Angelina Jolie's decision to have an elective double mastectomy. She didn't choose the surgery because she has cancer — she was cancer-free. She chose it because she carries the BRCA1 gene, a "flawed" gene that sharply increases her risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer.     But having both breasts removed when you don't have cancer is a drastic step, to say the least. Did she do the right thing? Let's take a look. . . Continued below. . . Breast Cancer Breakthrough BANNED! U.S. Government Blocks Release of Doctor's Life-Saving Book     A mammoth discovery is wiping out most breast tumors better than anything seen yet in modern medicine. It makes surgery, radiation and chemotherapy look like something from the Dark Ages.     A Cornell-educated doctor followed more than 25 years of case studies and PROVED this treatment can cure breast cancer. With the discovery I'm going to tell you about, almost every woman makes it and without losing a breast to surgery or taking any toxic chemicals. Even those with late stage cancer!     You've got to include this treatment if you want to have any REAL hope of defeating breast cancer. Click here now and watch a new video presentation about this important discovery… Breast Cancer Cover-Up     Ms. Jolie has seen firsthand how cancer can ravage the body and bring suffering to a whole family. Her mother battled breast cancer and ultimately died of ovarian cancer at age 56. By that point, she'd been struggling against the disease for a decade. Ms. Jolie's maternal grandmother was also diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Quick facts on breast cancer     Before we get into whether her decision was smart or crazy, let's talk more about the BRCA1 gene. The term "BRCA" comes from the first two letters of each of the words "breast" and "cancer." If you develop breast cancer, normal BRCA genes help you fight it. But when the BRCA gene is mutated, it can't do its job, and cancer risk sharply increases.     Prior to surgery, and by her doctor's estimate, Jolie's risk of breast cancer was an alarming 87 percent. Her risk of ovarian cancer landed at 50 percent.     Some of my readers may be surprised, but on the whole, I think Ms. Jolie made a reasonable decision. It wasn't the only thing she could have done, but it was not a "crazy" thing to do. I would choose a policy of regular monitoring for cancer, plus a healthy diet and the supplements we talk about all the time in this newsletter and in our books. Early detection IS possible and surgery comes into play only when you actually have cancer. But I understand a person can become panicky when faced with the kind of odds she faced. Men with small, nearly harmless prostate tumors are the same way. Most of them want the whole thing cut out NOW!     Though only a tiny fraction of breast cancer diagnoses stem from the BRCA1 gene mutation, if you happen to be one of the unlucky women who have it, you face a 65 percent risk of breast cancer and a 39 percent chance of getting ovarian cancer. Those are averages. Ms. Jolie's risk was boosted by the fact that her mother and grandmother were cancer victims.     The breast cancer odds are more than five times worse for women with the gene mutation than for those without. For the latter, the risk of breast cancer is only 12 percent and the risk of ovarian cancer is less than 1 percent. I don't mean to belittle the risk for any woman, but as you can see it's much worse for women with the gene mutation.     Men can inherit the BRCA1 mutation as well, bringing their own breast cancer risk up to 8 percent.     The general risk of having a BRCA mutation is 1 in 500 people. If you're of Ashkenazi Jewish heritage, risk rises to 1 in 40.     Jolie's choice was to minimize her risk. I can't imagine what a hard decision it must have been. After three months of intensive medical procedures that included removing the tissue in both her breasts, her chances of developing breast cancer have dropped from a high of 87 to a low of 5 percent. She paid her dues and got the reduction in risk she was seeking. As I said, it's a reasonable choice. Mastectomies don't really mean medical progress…     The big risk in Ms. Jolie's public announcement is that other women will draw the wrong conclusions. Some worry that she's opened the gates to a new trend in mastectomies that are medically unnecessary.     It's no secret that the past several years have unleashed a virtual epidemic in preventive mastectomies for women with one cancerous breast who decide to remove the healthy breast as a precaution. These women, by and large, do not carry the genetic mutations that elevate their risk. That means their odds for cancer developing in their remaining breast are quite low.     Preventive mastectomies make sense for women with the same high-level risk of cancer Jolie faced. But very few women share that risk. For women without the gene mutation, I'm prepared to say without a doubt that removing a healthy breast is unnecessary and unwise, even if the other breast has cancer.     The trend toward mastectomies is even more frustrating given that lumpectomies for actually existing cancer have been proven just as effective as mastectomies. In a lumpectomy, only the tumor and nearby tissue are removed, not the entire breast. And, yes, that's all you need. The statistics indicate you gain nothing by "radical mastectomy," i.e.removal of the whole breast.     I like the reaction of Dr. Susan Love, breast surgeon and author of Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book. In an interview with The New York Times, she pointed out that Ms. Jolie was an unusual case. Said Love, "What I hope that people realize is that we really don't have good prevention for breast cancer. When you have to cut off normal body parts to prevent a disease, that's really pretty barbaric when you think about it."1     If anything, we can hope that Ms. Jolie's public disclosure will shed light on a topic that deserves more research. For now, the only definitive answer is drastic surgery.     It's also important to know that preventive surgery isn't the only option, even for those with BRCA1 mutations. Many doctors advocate mammograms and MRI scans, done alternately every six months. That way if cancer does surface, it's found early … assuming the mammograms do their jobs, which is debatable.     Readers of this newsletter know all about the shortcomings and dangers of mammograms. Themorgraphy is a better, safer way to screen for breast cancer. See our previous Issues #218 and #239 for more information on the best ways to find breast cancer early.     You should also consider purchasing my Special Report Breast Cancer Cover-Up. This report was written to explain all your best options for detecting, preventing and treating breast cancer. Needless to say, the report focuses on alternatives, not mainstream treatments. How to heal the "Whole Body" from surgery     Ms. Jolie's advice is for all women, especially those with a family history of ovarian or breast cancer, to get a better understanding of their risk level. She advocates gene testing and preventive treatment. But she acknowledges that gene testing, which typically costs more than $3,000 in the U.S., is not an option for a great many women.     Many insurance carriers will cover genetic testing, but most of them require you to prove your risk through family history. If you're unsure about your increased risk, take this free quiz on risk assessment from the Pink Lotus Breast Center—the same center where Ms. Jolie was treated.     She also acknowledged that many alternatives to surgery are in the works. On top of that, I was interested to learn that much of her own surgery played by an alternative rule book.     For starters, Ms. Jolie's surgery was done on an outpatient basis at the family-owned, mostly female-run Pink Lotus Breast Center where they pride themselves on holistic care and wellness.     Following her surgeries, Ms. Jolie was placed on a variety of supplements. These included vitamin C, zinc, and multi-vitamins to improve healing at the site of each operation. A combination cream of arnica and bromelain, an enzyme extracted from pineapple stems, was used to help with post-operative swelling and bruising. The homeopathic remedies ExChem and Lymphomyosot were used to help eliminate anesthesia from her system.     In a situation like Ms. Jolie's where risk was high and intervention was believed to be the best course, it's nice to know she wasn't sentenced to a coarse and impersonal hospital stay with a stack of prescription drugs. It's proof that even in the event of extreme surgery, there are still ways to assist your body's natural healing faculties. Is it fair to patent a gene?     It's possible that Ms. Jolie's public disclosure will bring about a different kind of positive change. I'm not talking about more women choosing preventative surgery, but about a woman's right to information and gene testing, even if she lacks the cash and her insurance doesn't cover it.     As it turns out, a Utah company called Myriad Genetics currently owns the patent on the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. This company developed the BRCAnalysis test that screens women for the gene mutation. And as long as they own the patent, no other company can develop a similar test. That's why the test costs $3,000.     The ACLU and the Public Patent Foundation have challenged Myriad's right to patent these genes on the grounds that they're preventing further studies and tests on the gene and delaying critical research. The landmark case will be decided before the Supreme Court in June.     Until then, Myriad argues that Medicare, Medicaid, and their own financial assistance program make testing available to what they consider "appropriate patients." But the bottom line is this: they'll retain control of the future of the BRCA genes, unless the Supreme Court decides otherwise. It's not a one-size-fits-all problem     At the end of her op-ed piece in The New York Times, Ms. Jolie stated, "Life comes with many challenges. The ones that should not scare us are the ones we can take on and take control of."2     What's important is to know your options. Surgery will not be the right choice for everyone, and each woman's case is unique. Considering she had the gene mutation, I believe Jolie made a reasonable choice, but it's not the only choice. Another woman might have chosen frequent screening, a healthy eating plan and supplements — and then surgery only if and when cancer cells actually appeared. And as I said above, I'm opposed to such surgery for women who don't have the mutation.     Ms. Jolie's choice should not highlight preventive surgery as the single best option for avoiding breast cancer. Rather, her message lies in the power of genetic counseling and informed decisions. Instead of asking questions about surgery, first focus on asking questions about your family history.     As Dr. Isabelle Bedrosian, a surgical oncologist at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, told The New York Times, "We need to be careful that one message does not apply to all. Angelina's situation is very unusual. People should not be quick to say 'I should do like she did,' because you may not be like her."1

8 hours from death, he found a way to beat cancer

From the desk of Lee Euler, Editor and Publisher

Oliver was doomed to die from cancer within 8 hours --

But then he found out what to do. . .

Oliver had reached the end of the road in his seven-year fight against cancer. His doctors didn’t think this 32-year-old man would live through the night.

But when I talked to Oliver six years later, he was the picture of health! He got rid of his cancer completely.

Yes, Oliver found the answer—his own cancer miracle.

I sat down with him and his doctor and they told me an incredible story. . . a story that could help save you or someone you love from this dreaded disease.
