Gardisil/HPV – Cervical Cancer – Red Algae

Posted by whencancerhitshome on April 28, 2008

I’ve given myself time to calm down on this one (I think)! It is the most disturbing thing to me since it has to do with what pulls at our heartstrings the most…our children. How often, as you’re watching TV do you see the commercials for Gardisil telling you to protect your children from cervical cancer, have them vaccinated with Gardisil? They can be “one less” in contracting the human papillomavirus (HPV) by getting vaccinated.

This is a flagrant scare tactic targeted at our most prized assets! Have you also seen the statistics for what could go wrong with this vaccination? Did you know that over 40 percent of the population that gets vaccinated could also get cervical cancer because of it? Did you know that according to the AMA (American Medical Association), most HPV is eradicated on its own by your own body and time? Did you know that the FDA knew all of this before approving the vaccine?

Want to read and see the proof for yourself? Read this report, The Great HPV Hoax.
Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, has done a stupendous job of presenting the facts, and the cover-up that has been done on this vaccine. You can even watch a video he did on YouTube at:
Gardisil HPV Vaccine Exposed

One of the original researchers for this vaccine has said it is a grave injustice that this is being promoted for girls as young as 9 years old! It was and should only be considered for women 18 years and older. Why would you vaccinate your 9 year old if you know that she is not sexually active?

Prior to becoming sexually active, it would be advised that you have a frank discussion with your daughter in regards to HPV. One scientific study has shown that a lubricant with a seaweed extract called “carrageenan” can prevent human papillomavirus (HPV).

This seaweed extract strongly inhibits the virus from attaching to human cells.

Carrageenan is a potent inhibitor of papillomavirus infection.
Laboratory of Cellular Oncology, National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, Maryland, USA.

This lubricant can be bought at most drug stores for pennies on the dollar compared to the costs of the series of vaccinations and would be much safer to use since we don’t know exactly what the long-term affects of the vaccines will be. Why has this not been on your local television station?

Please take the time to study both sides of the issue before subjecting your child to a vaccine that could jeopardize their future!

H2O and Cancer

Posted by whencancerhitshome on January 17, 2008

This actually should have been one of my first posts, due to it’s importance. Our bodies are comprised of 75 percent water. Our brains consist of 85 percent water. There are more illnesses caused by dehydration than any other deficiency. One of the first things they do when you are admitted to a hospital is administer an IV. What’s in that IV? Water and salt which is called “saline solution”.

Your water intake while you are fighting cancer (or preventing it) is vitally important. Not just any water though…city water with chlorine and fluoride is not a good choice. If you are detoxing or taking supplements to fight this disease, you need to assist your body and the minerals and vitamins you are taking to “flush” the bad cells out by keeping your body hydrated.

Half of your body weight in ounces of water is a good recommendation. If you’re not currently a water drinker…proceed with a plan of gradually increasing your water intake to the recommended level. All sodas, coffee, and any drink with caffeine should be eliminated. Caffeine dehydrates.

If you find that you are releasing water as fast as you are taking it in, then your cells don’t have the time to absorb the water. Adding some natural sea salt (about 1/8-1/4 tsp. per 16 oz. of water), should help you retain it longer. You should be retaining it for 90-120 minutes for good absorption into the cells.

Once you are no longer dehydrated, you will find a significant difference in how you feel and look, your body doesn’t have to work as hard to expel toxins and bad cells, you think clearer, breathe easier and a whole host of other benefits will be your reward.

Fighting cancer is not an easy process when you’re use to today’s lifestyle, but it is do-able. Being hydrated should be one of your first steps.

Read more about the other illnesses dehydration causes at WaterCure2, a very informative site with many references and testimonies from people who turned around their illness with hydration alone.

The "Easy" Road To Cancer Treatment

Posted by whencancerhitshome on January 1, 2008

I’ve yet to understand, after reading numerous medical reports on the “cure rates” of conventional medical treatments for cancer, how anyone could decide to take that route. I believe that the only explanation can be that it is the easiest way to deal with a cancer diagnosis.

Stop and think about it…after diagnosis, going by the options from the mainstream medical industry…you subject yourself to surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation treatments. There’s loss of hair and appetite, being tired during the whole process, destruction of your immune system, and a host of other side affects. All told, going by this precarious method of treatment, hopefully at the end of one or two years, the cancer is no longer found in your system.

On the other hand, if you had to adjust your eating habits, exercise, and make changes to your environment and normal everyday products…perhaps for the rest of your lifetime…the 1-2 years of conventional therapy and treatments, is a cake walk, right?

What most people fail to understand is that even though they take the easiest way, and even if two years down the road after the treatments, tests show that you no longer have cancer…that doesn’t mean if you don’t adjust your living and eating habits that cancer is not going to re-appear in some other part of your body! I can attest to this happening in most instances just from my family alone!

Remember that there are some types of cancer that have only a 15 percent 5 year survival rate (oral cancer being one of them). And a 5 years survival rate where you have half of that time feeling tired, sick, and hairless…is not quality of life.

If my survival rate is going to be less than 2-3 years, I’m going to take my chances with dietary adjustments before I let them slash and burn me so that I’m so ill, I can’t enjoy what time I purportedly have left. Many people who have chosen to take this route rather than go with what their doctors suggested, are alive today to tell about it. It’s not hard to find many documented cases on the internet that supports this theory, and many are willing to discuss it with you, either via email or phone contact.

But the plain truth is…poor dietary choices are what caused the problem and good dietary choices for the rest of your life is what’s needed to ensure you continue to live! Most people just don’t want to give up the junk food, junk beverages, sugar, white flour, preservatives, TV dinners, etc. You have to remember, at one time, we didn’t have all these convenience foods available. It’s only been since they have become available, that the cancer rate has risen.

Perhaps it’s past time for people to start to get back to basics. Growing up in a large family, we ate what was on our plate…period. Vegetables and all! Microwaved TV dinners with a few carrots or peas, is not a healthy choice. There’s a reason why fresh, raw vegetables are to be eaten. Our bodies require them in order to do all the processes it does for ridding our body of all hosts of toxins and bad bacteria. Without those vegetables, not only are you becoming nutritionally deficient in vitamins, but you are also not getting the numerous enzymes you need for absorption of those vital vitamins.

We use to have “good” milk that had no additional hormones in them. Since they are now injecting most cows with hormones in order to get higher production rates out of them, those hormones are now passed on to us through the milk we or our children drink. Is it any wonder young girls are starting ministration as young as nine years old? And some researchers are also beginning to think that the hormones in milk contributes to the number of breast cancers found each year from the increased estrogen women receive by drinking it.

Get dairy, most red meats, sugar and white flour out of your diet. Eat lots of raw fruits and vegetables. Take pollutants out of your environment, exercise, and drink lots of “good” water–for LIFE! The hard way of living without cancer? Perhaps. But I believe if more people applied themselves to one to two months of adjusting their eating habits to a more healthy one, they would probably stick with it just because they felt 100 percent better!

Researchers Finding Fruits & Veggies To Show Promise Towards Treating Cancer

Posted by whencancerhitshome on December 27, 2007

More studies are proving the efficacy of a blackberry extract to be a powerful cancer fighting agent. It has now been found that black raspberries may protect against esophageal cancer. Findings are showing positive results for the reduction of oxidative stress in patients with Barrett’s esophagus (BE), which is a pre-cancerous condition that is usually due to gastroesopageal reflux disease.

Research has found that BE patients have a 30-40 fold increased risk of developing esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). This is one of the fastest growing cancer incidences in the United States today. There is currently only a 15 percent survival rate of five years for this type of cancer.

Researchers at Ohio State University, using animals that were chemically induced with oral, esophageal, and colon cancers, showed the berry extract reduced oxidative stress, slowed proliferation rates, decreased DNA damage, and reduced the amount of pre-cancerous cells in the esophagus and colon.

The greatest finding was that it doesn’t seem to matter at what stage the disease is at, benefits are the same. Not only that, there are no side affects since it’s just a food item that is being applied.

There were also findings of a blackberry gel used in a trial by Ohio State University for treating pre-cancerous oral lesions. Research has found that more than a third of pre-cancerous lesions will develop into oral squamous cell cancer. There are a reported 35,000 cases of this disease reported each year with approximately 7,500 deaths resulting per year from this type of cancer. Even if treated successfully, oftentimes the surgery required leaves a patient permanently disfigured.

After six weeks of testing on 30 participants, 35 percent of the lesions showed an improvement, and another 45 percent showed their lesions had stabilized. The gel was applied 4 times a day…once after each meal and at bedtime.

It was determined that more trials need to be implemented to determine that it was indeed the blackberry and not the gel itself or its application method that was the determining factor in the improvement of the lesions. This study was funded by the National Cancer Institute.

Either way, it certainly would not hurt anyone who has oral lesions to start implementing this berry into their diet. If they are out of season, there are resources on the internet where you can buy these berries freeze-dried to get you through the months when you can’t get them fresh.

Researchers from Rutgers University are also showing encouraging findings on the polypenols in green tea for preventing the growth of colorectal tumors. Their study was done on rats injected with human colorectal cancer cells. After 34 weeks, rats given the green tea extract developed 55 percent few tumors then the group that did not receive the green tea. The amount given to the rats on a daily basis would be an equivalent of 4-6 cups of green tea consumption. given a and other “natural” products that everyone who has cancer or knows a loved one who has cancer should be adding to their knowledge base.

Then you have the Roswell Park Cancer Institute findings that broccoli sprouts help to prevent bladder cancer. Again, using a rat model with chemically induced bladder cancer, a freeze dried extract of broccoli sprouts proved to significantly inhibit cancer cell growth. The extract from the broccoli sprouts appeared to have increased the enzymes in the bladder that are known to protect against oxidants and carcinogens.

.Anyone who reads this information should be very encouraged that the mainstream medical industry is finally taking steps to research protocols that could be added ammunition to the “cancer fight” and has the added benefit of being less harmful than many of the drugs and toxins that they use as treatments for today’s cancer patient.
All of these news releases can be read at the American Association for Cancer Research.

Review: Cancer – Step Outside The Box

Posted by whencancerhitshome on November 29, 2007


One of the best books I have read on the subject of cancer, it’s causes, and how to address treating it in the least harmful way to your body (no chemotherapy or radiation). In my search for answers, due to three siblings in the last few years being diagnosed with the disease, I’ve read numerous information sites on the internet and have purchased several books to become more knowledgeable on this subject.

I’ve read Kevin Trudeau’s book, the Budwig diet, the information on Essiac tea (I’ve actually helped my sister prepare this), vitamin B17 (laetrile), all the nutritional information I could get my hands on in support of preventing this disease…and I have found this book to be one of the best in supplying all this information in one place.

You will also read why your cells turn into “bad” cells and how they proliferate. Like it or not, your diet and environment have a lot to do with it and most people do very little in adjusting either one of these things once they’ve been diagnosed. Very few mainstream physicians ever make suggestions of adjusting your diet either and that’s probably due to the vast majority of them not having been educated in that being the cause of most diseases. They are educated to treat the disease once it occurs…not on how to prevent it. Unfortunately, that whole education is based on remedies from the drug companies.

Cancer – Step Outside of the Box addresses all of the problems of why we are treated with the mainstream drugs, as well as, the steps you can take to save yourself. Some of the natural remedies do still require a doctor to monitor your progress and if you choose to use those types of remedies, you will still have to find a physician to assist you. It is ultimately your choice. There are references to direct you on the path to finding the right physicians and alternative medicine people that will be able to lead in the proper alternatives for your type of cancer.

It’s a whopping 400 pages of information that every cancer patient or person who has a loved one diagnosed with this disease should read. There have been critics of this book who have said that the author, although mentioning the number of family members he has lost, never says whether they tried any of these solutions. They have also criticized the “lack” of editing and the number of typos and grammatical errors.

I find that to be of little consequence…the main information is what’s important. The life you could save by reading this book, could be your own!

When Was Your Last Mammogram?

Posted by whencancerhitshome on November 16, 2007

This is a question that is often asked by my siblings since two of them have been diagnosed with breast cancer. My youngest sister just recently, and one of my older sisters has had it show up twice…as well as having a couple of small tumors removed from her thyroid recently.

I must admit to them that it has been several years since I’ve undergone a mammogram and that it’s mostly been my choice not to have one done.

My older sister’s first diagnosis was not found through a mammogram. In fact, she was diagnosed four months after having a mammogram that showed no problems and ended up having a mastectomy. The same thing with my younger sister. She had a mammogram this past December which was negative and the early part of June, she was the one who found a lump.

Having come from a large family (8 girls, 2 boys) with a history of cancer in our family, I believe the medical industry has done a good job in putting the fear in ya, to do things as they see that they should be done.

When my older sister was diagnosed the second time with breast cancer (in the other breast), do to her own research and my helping her by leading her to different reports and studies, she refused the chemotherapy which is so detrimental to the rest of your health.

She did have herself tested to see if she had the “gene” that predisposes you to cancer (oncogene AC), which she does. Therefore, no more mammograms for her, which is a good thing. Instead she gets MRIs every six months to keep tabs on whether this disease shows back up or not.

Now wouldn’t you think the insurance companies would pay for this test? After all, if you have this gene and the radiation from mammograms could increase your chances of cancer tumors significantly, the more they are going to have to pay out for future procedures. BUT, most insurance companies don’t cover this test. My sister paid for it out of her own pocket (approx. $150).

When it’s predicted that 10,000 women will die this year, that are carriers of this gene, largely due to mammograms…wouldn’t you think the test would be mandatory before mammograms were even implemented in women?

The radiation that women are exposed to in mammograms is cumulative. Which means if they start testing you at the age of 40 (or earlier), each time you have a mammogram, your chances of getting breast cancer are increased 1-2%, depending on how many views they take.

Multiply that times the number of years you receive them, and if you’re already predisposed to the disease, by the time you’re in your 50s or 60s, you have upped your chances of tumors appearing by 10-20%.

Is it any wonder that I don’t put much faith in the medical industry? Should I be one of the ones stuck with this disease, I will use whatever alternative information I have to assault it before I let them slice and dice me, destroy my immune system, only to have it come back and begin the whole regimen all over again!

I, for one, refuse to be their guinea pig!

Your Child Has Cancer….

Posted by whencancerhitshome on November 4, 2007

What would you do if the medical, legal, justice system told you that you could not do what you thought was best for your child with a diagnosis of cancer?

Here’s what usually happens in our society (sad to say):

“An unholy alliance of California Child Protective Services (CPS) with a hostile doctor and judge is attempting to railroad Laurie Jessop, framed as a threat to her son and the establishment for finding a way to cure him of malignant melanoma. She is now on trial, under a gag order, since she had gone to the press. When she was arrested, she was put in maximum security, solitary confinement, in the Orange County, CA jail. They claim that everything about. her says anti-Establishment, so she was told, as she was considered a threat in starting a riot.

On the morning of Sept. 12, Gary Null read on KPFK, a Pacifica station in Los Angeles, an e-mail from Ron Miller, who had met Ms. Jessop at the Cancer Control Society annual convention during the Labor Day weekend. They had discussed this persecution by Big Brother in the guise of saving her son from this evil mother who has failed to protect him! She disobeyed doctor’s orders and found a natural way to cure her son. These forces arrayed against her and insisted he must have the cancer removed surgically and attacked with the standard chemical fare. The cancer is gone, but nobody in authority will accept that because her doctor doesn’t believe that’s possible.

The initial biopsy of the mole was done in February. Their regular doctor was on leave when test results came in. A nurse informed them of the bad news. On May 8, Chad Jessop had a follow up appointment with a medical group doctor, by the name of Dr. Masciana, who insisted he needed surgery to excise the site within a week, or he could die any day now! This doctor is a general practitioner, not an oncologist or qualified to do cancer diagnosis or surgery. Chad and his mom decided to pursue holistic treatment for him. Incensed, the doctor reported her to Child Protective Services on the grounds of gross negligent child endangerment. She yelled at Laurie “all of you Jehovah’s Witnesses are all the same,” never mind Laurie and Chad are not Jehovah’s witnesses. Dr. Masciana also told Laurie, with her son present, that his death was imminent. At the close of the appointment, Dr. Masciana informed Laurie that she was referring the case to Social Services. In further investigation, Child Protective Social Services is a misnamed government agency whose employees get paid bonuses every time they take children away from their parents.

That evening Laurie called an attorney who advised her that she had 48 hours or less before Social Services showed up. If she could not prove she was following doctor’s orders, they’d take her son. Since Dr. Masciana had created such a traumatic experience for Chad, he feared the doctors and threatened to run away. In honoring Chad’s wishes for continued holistic care, Laurie took her son to San Diego to continue holistic care using a number of various alternative treatments such as: ozone, hyperbaric oxygen chamber, hydrogen peroxide, energy work, Rife, nutritional supplements, and deep emotional work. Laurie also used “black salve” that she purchased from Canada to remove the mole tissue. Black salve was developed by Native American Indians more than 200 years ago, and used in the treatment of skin lesions, cancers, warts, and moles. Figures our FDA banned it, because it works.

When Chad insisted on hitting the road to continue alternative therapies and getting further diagnostics, that left a question as to where Laurie’s daughter Crystal would go. A close friend of the family and Crystal’s best friend agreed, and this felt like a perfect fit under the circumstances, so Laurie legally signed Crystal over to the family and gave them all the necessary medical insurance information. On May 22, the local sheriff and CPS had taken her daughter out of class, interrogating her mercilessly, telling her lies about her mother, trying to force her to reveal where Laurie and Chad had gone, and then forced her to go on a police joy ride and show them where they reside. All of this was done against her will and carried on for six hours!

They applied “Black Salve” directly to the area in question, thus giving Chad a holistic version of a large border excision. It took about two and a half weeks for the wound to heal. When it was healed Laurie took Chad to a Del Mar dermatologist for a biopsy. The test results were negative of any signs of melanoma! The next two weeks were concentrated on once again healing the tissue to get another biopsy. Upon the wound site being healed, a melanoma specialist did a punch biopsy and a complete lab analysis on Friday, June 15. Again, no sign of cancer could be found in the biopsy and the blood work was in healthy ranges with no distinguishing markers that would otherwise be present in a patient that would have advanced stage four melanoma, as had been previously reported! Was it a miracle, or an activated immune system in a healthy young man, with some useful help, that healed the melanoma?”

Read the rest of the story….

I don’t know about you….but something isn’t right when we have a society that tells us “exactly” what we can and can’t do in raising our children. That’s exactly why we have the largest number of overweight, over-medicated children in the world.

It simply amazes me that, here you have a child, who is clearly coherent and has knowledge about what they want to do to him. He chooses to take another path in the hopes that it will do less damage to him then the one our medical society states he should do.

Once done, and he and his mother have proof that he no longer has the cancer — of course, the medical society can’t let this happen! He must have it somewhere else now and we need to go looking for it (at what expense)!

Un-frigging believable!!!

Cancer Education Online

Posted by whencancerhitshome on October 31, 2007

I think I’m one of those people who have become really callus towards the mainstream medical industry. Particularly as it relates to deadly diseases. They appear to only have different information than what I do! The main difference being they spent thousands for their education and all I’ve done is research online. Perhaps they need to set aside time every week and do the same….then I might say that they are more informed than I am!

When you read what they consider “success” and “cure” rates to be (living 5 yrs. after their debilitating procedures), and what other harm their procedures such as mammograms can do….how can they boast about what their profession has accomplished?

After my siblings going through their procedures for removal of their malignant tumors, three of my other siblings went and got every test they could think of to make sure they did not show any signs of the same types of cancer showing up in them.

BAM…they just exposed themselves to more radiation (cancer cause). Of course, they also at that time called me and suggested that I also go and be checked. I gently told them that since cancer does obviously run in our family, I was not going to “up” my chances for getting it by exposing myself to the same procedures that are known to cause it!

Understandably they think I’m a little bit “out-there” with my concepts, but not one of them has done their own research. They are like most people that just choose to bury their heads and let the “good” doctor who has all this education and must know more than them, control what will happen to them should they be diagnosed with it.

After all, it’s easier that way!

I love them anyway, and will continue to slowly plant knowledge into their heads (hopefully), that they need to take the steps necessary to protect themselves from a medical society that has clearly gone astray from “due no harm”!

At least if they will come around to the concept that there are alternatives that can work right along side “standard” medical professions or in conjunction with it, then you’re taking an approach that can put a double-whammy on this disease and hopefully also salvage your own body in the process.

Some of my favorite sites online for educational purposes are:

Healing Cancer Naturally
Cancer Tutor
(Provides information on what natural solutions to use depending on the type of cancer you are diagnosed with.)

Two of my favorite ebooks with exceptional information on the mainstream medical industry’s refusal to use natural/alternative methods, and why…as well as what those alternative/natural methods are and how they apply to different diagnosed cancers.

Cancer – Step Outside The Box – a wonderful book by Ty Bolinger, who like myself, has lost a number of family members to cancer. This book delves into the types and stages of cancer and the best natural remedies for those cancers.

Natural Cancer Treatments That Work – Here you will find 350 natural treatments for cancer, along with 2000 testimonials from cancer patients, what type of cancer they had and what natural methods they used to cure their cancer. You can also immediately download their free report, “Who Can Help Me When I Have Cancer” a fantastic guide of where you can find a sympathetic natural alternative physician, what natural/alternative clinics are available, and even who to contact should you need financial help.

More "Natural" Cancer Fighting Information…

Posted by whencancerhitshome on March 29, 2007

First an update on my brother:

He’s doing “okay”. He had the surgery to re-attach everything so that he’s no longer using an ostomy bag….but the road is still long with the healing process and hopefully getting control of bathroom functions (no guarantees from the medical establishment). He can’t wander too far from bathroom facilities at this point, which means no long distance traveling. He was told after the surgery, it would take him about six months to be functioning normally. Well….that time has come and gone. Now they’re telling him it could be six months to a year before he would function normally (for some reason, I don’t have much faith in what they say). Even through all of this, he still will not listen to any recommendations or options for taking control of his own health. I love him anyways and can assure you, if he’s ever ready (which some people never are) to take responsibility for his own healing process, I’ll be there to at least direct him to information that could very well extend his life.

On to other info….

Ya’all know that eating fresh fruits and vegetables are good first steps in fighting cancer…right? And ya’all also know that the bright colored fruits and vegetables have the most bang for your buck in that fight! Hey look….I hate most dark colored (green) vegetables myself (i.e. spinach, asparagus), but I will eat broccoli (which, by the way, is one of the most potent cancer fighting vegies).

Have you ever heard of chlorella and spirulina? I hadn’t either! And goodness knows, I would have a hard time eating spinach and such daily! But what if you could get the most “complete food” substance in a capsule that you take daily? What if that capsule also removed a lot of harmful substances from your body naturally, at the same time that it was giving you the essentials you need to help make your body whole again?

Here is a free pdf book that will give you the low-down on chlorella and spurilina, along with recommendations on the purest type to buy. From the reading I have done, if you are someone with cancer, or cancer runs in your family…..as a preventative measure, I would definitely be studying this little book with it’s wealth of information. You can also do a google search on the above “greens” and come up with a wealth of other information (all positive).
