Support for Patients with Cancer
Despite what you may hear from your conventional physicians, there are many safe, nontoxic therapies for patients with cancer. This gentler, more humane approach is based on an entirely different paradigm and that is to strengthen the body and give it the tools needed to fight disease on its own terms. To eradicate cancer, one must attack the cancer cells and clean-up the poor environment that initiated it. This requires multiple modalities, aimed at the cells, the environment, and the cell to cell communication mechanisms.
The Conventional Approach
Every year, nearly 560,000 Americans die of cancer, and it is perhaps the most-feared of all diseases. But why is cancer so terrifying? Far more people die of heart problems and stroke, yet we don’t fear them like we do cancer. The answer is simple. It’s because we know that conventional cancer treatments are not only toxic and debilitating, but they rarely work, especially in stage III and IV cancers.
The problem with the conventional approach to cancer is that it is mired in an outdated, faulty paradigm. Since the first mastectomy was performed in 1882, the focus has been on purging cancer cells from the body via surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.
We’ve spent hundreds of billions of dollars on the “war on cancer” in the past 40 years, yet we’ve made no significant progress. The death rate from cancer has not changed appreciably since 1950, and the survival gains attributed to blockbuster drugs—which often cost more than $100,000 per year—are measured in months rather than years.
Conventional cancer therapies aren’t just ineffective. They’re also dangerous and dehumanizing. The “maximum purging” approach is analogous to killing houseflies with a shotgun. It doesn’t necessarily get rid of the flies, and look at all the damage it does to your house. Patients often suffer more from treatment than they do from the disease itself.
How We Support Patients With Cancer
Despite what you may hear from your conventional physicians, there are many safe, nontoxic therapies for patients with cancer. This gentler, more humane approach is based on an entirely different paradigm and that is to strengthen the body and give it the tools needed to fight disease on its own terms.
Some of these therapies enhance immune function and the body’s ability to help put the brakes on the undisciplined, rapid cell division that is characteristic of cancer. Others improve overall health and protect against cachexia, or wasting, which is a serious concern for cancer patients. And more than a few have direct anti-tumor or anti-metastasis effects. But they all have one thing in common: None of these therapies ravage the body or further deteriorate quality of life. In fact, in virtually all cases, they improve it.
Personalized Lifestyle Program for Patients With Cancer
Nutrition is a powerful therapy for patients who desperately need to keep up with the malnutrition brought on by cancer. At the DaSilva Institute, we counsel patients in an appropriate diet that emphasizes nutrient-dense vegetables and fruit and lean protein and omits sugar, unhealthy fats, and processed foods.
Guy DaSilva, MD will also design a personalized nutritional supplement program for you. The past decade has seen an explosion of research on the benefits of Vitamin D, melatonin, curcumin, modified citrus pectin, and other supplements for people with cancer. A targeted supplement program is imperative for anyone with this disease.
Unique Therapies for Patients With Cancer
The DaSilva Institute also offers a number of unique therapies and safe, effective pharmaceuticals. Studies conducted at the National Institutes of Health reveal that when blood concentrations of Vitamin C reach target levels—which are only possible through Intravenous (IV) administration—it becomes a potent chemotherapeutic agent that kills cancer cells but, unlike chemo drugs, leaves healthy cells intact. Since cancer cells cannot breakdown hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), the production of H2O2 by the IV Vitamin C within the white blood cells destroys the cancer cells while leaving the normal healthy cells untouched.
Because cancer cells thrive in the absence of oxygen, we also recommend patients receive hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Exposure to massive amounts of oxygen makes them less virulent and more vulnerable to other therapies. We also offer a number of other therapies that will increase the oxygen supply to the tumor cells.
Of course, no one treatment can guarantee success for everyone. For many, the conventional approach feels right. Should you choose this path, we encourage you to explore the adjunct therapies offered at the DaSilva Institute, as they have been shown to reduce side effects, enhance efficacy of chemotherapy and radiation, and increase survival.
Others feel more comfortable stepping outside the box, and for them, a more comprehensive treatment course is indicated. We help these patients manage their disease in a similar manner in which we help those with heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic conditions: by fortifying the body’s innate ability to heal itself—and in the process improve symptoms, quality of life, and overall outcomes.
