Chapter 3: The Parable of the Thugs and the Preachers

This chapter is somewhat similar to the prior chapters, but this chapter will focus on setting priorities when dealing with advanced cancer. You will better understand the enemy you are dealing with and the challenges you are facing when treating advanced cancer. You will understand why treating cancer is a race against time. People who routinely work with cancer patients frequently experience this race against time and understand why treating cancer is literally a race!!

Suppose there were 100 thugs who were locked in a building with 100 preachers. No one, neither the thugs nor the preachers, is ever allowed to leave the building.

Suppose at every opportunity the thugs beat up the preachers. The preachers, over time, got weaker and weaker because of getting beat up daily by the thugs.

As time goes on the preachers start dying one by one from their beatings. Every time a preacher dies, this changes the ratio of thugs to preachers. In other words, every time a preacher dies the ratio of thugs to preachers increases.

This sets up a cascading scenario where as time goes on the preachers die more and more frequently.

In addition, more thugs are allowed inside the building from time to time, but no new preachers are ever allowed inside the building.

As time goes on it looks inevitable that the day would come when there would be no preachers left at all.

You, a police officer, are assigned to go in and help nourish the preachers back to health.

What is the first thing you should do? Think about your priorities (relative to cancer) for a moment before going on. Would your focus be on getting rid of the thugs (i.e. the cancer cells) or nourishing the preachers (the non-cancerous cells)?

Here are your options:

  • Get rid of the thugs, or
  • Nourish the preachers, or
  • Start building a weight lifting room?

Obviously you would want to both get rid of the thugs and help nourish the preachers. But this is not one of the options. The first thing you should do is nourish the preachers!!

Why is this a higher priority than getting rid of the thugs?

Thinking about cancer, the first priority is to keep the patient alive. It takes far longer to get rid of the thugs (i.e. the cancer cells) than to nourish the non-cancerous cells.

But the things that can energize the non-cancerous cells can sometimes energize the cancer cells. The reader might think that energizing the cancer cells is a bad thing, but actually it is a good thing because when energized the cancer cells have less need to steal nutrients from the non-cancerous cells.

Cancer cells are dangerous because they lack energy (technically they lack ATP molecules). When you provide outside energy to the cancer cells they have less need to steal energy from the body.

Substances that will nourish the preachers the quickest and the most effective are: the Budwig Protocol, Cellect, Vibe by Eniva, Limu Juice, Mangosteen Juice, Grape Juice (e.g. the Brandt Grape Cure), Wolfberry (or Goji) juice and Noni Juice.

In addition, D-Ribose is required because it can get past the lactic acid to the non-cancerous cells. Another key substance to deal with cachexia is MSM plus Vitamin C. MSM plus Vitamin C can also help the body get rid of the lactic acid. However, Vitamin C cannot be used with some protocols.

These are the things that can most quickly stabilize the patient.

Once the patient has been on these energy-boosting products, then the treatment can focus on killing the cancer cells or reverting the cancer cells into normal cells.

Reverting the cancer cells into normal cells is superior to killing the cancer cells because reverting cancer cells into normal cells does not create nearly as much toxic debris caused by dead cancer cells.

The problem is that finding protocols that revert cancer cells into normal cells can be difficult or expensive.

One way is to use a “Rife Machine.” These devices are now called “Frequency Generators.” For example, a High RF Frequency Device is an excellent way to revert cancer cells into normal cells by killing the microbes inside the cancer cells. See the left side-bar for a link.

Many years ago medical doctors were curing cancer by extracting some blood, bombarding it with ultraviolet light, and then replacing the blood. The hemoglobin “remembered” the ultraviolet light frequencies (i.e. they continued to vibrate even after they were put back into the body) and killed the microbes inside and outside of the cancer cells (microbes have photosensitive amino acids). This protocol reverted cancer cells into normal cells in less than 3 weeks. However, this protocol was largely used prior to chemotherapy, so its effectiveness on today’s cancer patients is not fully known.

Currently ultraviolet protocols are only used at clinics (the key abbreviation to search for is: “UVBI”). See the book: Into the Light – Tomorrow’s Medicine Today, by Dr. William Campbell Douglass II, M.D.). In this book it is shown how to use this protocol at home if a nurse is available.

The Independent Cancer Research Foundation, Inc. (ICRF) is working on several very inexpensive ways to revert cancer cells into normal cells using DMSO. The “Overnight Cure For Cancer” has done very well, but much more feedback from cancer patients who use the various protocols is needed in order to fine-tune these protocols.

Basically, all electromedicine protocols, all ultraviolet light protocols and most DMSO and MSM based protocols will be able to revert cancer cells into normal cells.

In summary, the keys to remember are:

  • First, flood the body with special nutrients,
  • Second, revert cancer cells into normal cells, if you can,
  • Third, kill cancer cells if you have no other choice.

Understanding This Logic

It is generally not cancer cells which kill a person, it is the damage done to the non-cancerous cells and damage done to the organs which kills cancer patients. The damage is done because of the cancer cells.

However, a person can more quickly energize and provide nutrients to the cancer cells and non-cancerous cells than they can get rid of the cancer cells.

Cancer cells are “beating-up” non-cancerous cells and organs in several different ways:

First, cancer cells steal glucose from non-cancerous cells because cancer cells consume about 15 times more glucose than normal cells.

Second, cancer cells steal nutrients (e.g. minerals, vitamins, etc.) from non-cancerous cells.

Third, cancer cells convert glucose into lactic acid. The lactic acid goes into the bloodstream and is captured by the liver. The liver converts the lactic acid into glucose. The glucose then goes into the bloodstream and is captured by the cancer cells (which consume 15 times more glucose than normal cells). This cachexia cycle goes back and forth.

The problem is that every time a cancer cell converts glucose into lactic acid, an enormous amount of energy is consumed. Likewise, the liver consumes enormous amounts of energy when it converts the lactic acid back into glucose. It is the energy which is stolen because of the lactic acid cycle which kills many cancer patients. This is one reason why advanced cancer patients are so weak and may eventually lose their appetite.

Fourth, the fact that cancer cells excrete lactic acid creates another problem for cancer patients. Lactic acid in the bloodstream blocks glucose and nutrients from getting inside of normal cells. This is another reason cancer patients are weak and another reason to flood the body with super-nutrients.

This is the main reason D-Ribose is required. D-Ribose is used by body-builders to get energy past lactic acid. It is available at any health food store.

In other words, as the number of cancer cells increases (and the number of non-cancerous cells which are severely damaged increases), the number of healthy non-cancerous cells decreases, but this number decreases at an increasing rate!!

As mentioned elsewhere, hydrazine sulfate, D Ribose and MSM are frequently used in the treatment of the cachexia cycle. However, hydrazine sulfate can be extremely dangerous to work with if you do not carefully study the warnings!!

The point is that any very advanced cancer patient is going to have a body full of lactic acid.

As the ratio of thugs to preachers increases over time, an increasing ratio of the power of cancer cells (the thugs) to the decreasing power of the healthy non-cancerous cells and organs (the preachers) results. While there will always be far more non-cancerous cells than cancer cells, it is the growing damage to the non-cancerous cells that frequently kills cancer patients.

Other Comments

Fortunately, in the real world we are not limited to only one of the above items. We can pick two of the items or we can pick three of the items. Or we can add other items, such as building the immune system. More will be said about the immune system later in this article.

The top priority is nutrition for the body and second, getting rid of the cancer cells.

It is actually the spreading of the cancer which kills cancer patients. Consider this quote by an M.D., the late Dr. Philip Binzel:

When a patient is found to have a tumor, the only thing the doctor discusses with that patient is what he intends to do about the tumor. If a patient with a tumor is receiving radiation or chemotherapy, the only question that is asked is, “How is the tumor doing?” No one ever asks how the patient is doing. In my medical training, I remember well seeing patients who were getting radiation and/or chemotherapy. The tumor would get smaller and smaller, but the patient would be getting sicker and sicker. At autopsy we would hear, “Isn’t that marvelous! The tumor is gone!” Yes, it was, but so was the patient. How many millions of times are we going to have to repeat these scenarios before we realize that we are treating the wrong thing?

In primary cancer, with only a few exceptions, the tumor is neither health-endangering nor life-threatening. I am going to repeat that statement. In primary cancer, with few exceptions, the tumor is neither health-endangering nor life-threatening. What is health-endangering and life-threatening is the spread of that disease through the rest of the body.

There is nothing in surgery that will prevent the spread of cancer. There is nothing in radiation that will prevent the spread of the disease. There is nothing in chemotherapy that will prevent the spread of the disease. How do we know? Just look at the statistics! There is a statistic known as “survival time.” Survival time is defined as that interval of time between when the diagnosis of cancer is first made in a given patient and when that patient dies from his disease.

In the past fifty years, tremendous progress has been made in the early diagnosis of cancer. In that period of time, tremendous progress had been made in the surgical ability to remove tumors. Tremendous progress has been made in the use of radiation and chemotherapy in their ability to shrink or destroy tumors. But, the survival time of the cancer patient today is no greater than it was fifty years ago. What does this mean? It obviously means that we are treating the wrong thing!”
Philip Binzel, M.D., Alive and Well, Chapter 14

Cancer spreads faster and faster because of two reasons.

First, the cancer cells divide faster. This can happen because of an acidic condition inside the cancer cells. It can also happen by the nature of the type of cancer cell.

Second, as there are more and more cancer cells, there will be an increasing number of new cancer cells being created solely by virtue of the fact there are more cancer cells available to divide.

Flooding the body with the above nutrients will help slow down the spreading of cancer because all of the products are basically alkaline.

Cesium chloride will also help slow down the spread of cancer because it is highly alkaline. However, cesium chloride should only be used when it is the primary element in the protocol because of the doses needed for it to be effective. Cesium chloride is not a super-nutrient, but cesium chloride practitioners and consultants always add nutritional products to the protocol.

A Warning

When starting an alternative cancer treatment it is always critical to “build-up” to therapeutic doses of potent products. For example, suppose a patient wants to build-up to six scoops of Cellect (e.g. as part of the Cellect-Budwig protocol). They should start at a low dose, such as 1/2 of a scoop. If that is well tolerated then they can build up to one scoop on the next day, two scoops on the next day, and so on.

Building up is critical to avoid too much of a shock to the system.

Even either High RF Frequency Protocol device needs to be started at low doses (e.g. low watts of electrical current) and be slowly built-up over time. The instructions on how to do this are on the High RF Frequency Protocol treatment article (see the “Button-by-Button Protocol for Cancer” link near the top of this web page):

Stopping The Damage is the Highest Priority!!

Cancer is like a ball rolling down a hill. At the top of the hill the ball is rolling slowly. But as the ball picks up speed as it goes down the hill (as it gains momentum), by the time it gets to the bottom of the hill it is going very fast.

Treating cancer is a battle against time, never forget that. The longer it takes to stop the momentum of the damage to the non-cancerous cells and get rid of the cancer cells; the worse the ratio of cancer cells to non-cancerous cells becomes. Strengthening the non-cancerous cells (and energizing the cancer cells) “buys time” for the cancer patient to get rid of the cancer cells.

The truth is that some cancer patients have eliminated every cancer cell in their body and they still die of cancer. The damage done to the non-cancerous cells can be fatal even after the cancer cells are gone. Many cancer patients have died without a single cancer cell in their body.

Also, orthodox cancer treatments can cause so much damage that it is impossible to save the patient.

That is why flooding the body with nutrition is the highest priority. It does the most good in the shortest amount of time. Some of the treatments which flood the body with nutrients also contain molecules which kill cancer cells.

What about some who cannot take high doses of nutrients. This is where products like Vibe Liquid come into play. Vibe is a condensed nutritional product and even a couple of tablespoons a day will significantly help the cells. Even a couple of scoops of Cellect every day will supercharge the body with nutrients.

The good news is that when treating a cancer patient it is usually possible to protect the non-cancerous cells at the same time as trying to kill the cancer cells.

Thus, in many cases two protocols can be started at the same time or a single protocol will accomplish two key goals.

Before going on, let’s talk about building the immune system. Obviously, the immune system must be strengthened to help get rid of cancer cells. Should building the immune system be a high priority?

When I talk to an advanced cancer patient they sometimes think I am crazy for not wanting to focus on building the immune system immediately. My response is that there isn’t time to build the immune system (especially if they have had a lot of chemotherapy), the immune system can be dealt with later.

For example, in the thugs and preachers parable would you focus on building a weight-lifting room as your first priority? Hopefully, nourishing the preachers and getting rid of the thugs would be your first priorities.

Because surviving cancer is a race against time, for most advanced cancer patients there simply isn’t enough time to build the immune system and then expect the immune system to cure the cancer.

Having said that, there may be some super-immune building protocols that may help rebuild the immune system fast enough to help save an advanced cancer patients. You will have to be the judge.

But for now, the focus of this chapter is on protecting the non-cancerous cells to “buy time” for the treatment to work.

Supercharging Your Main Cancer Protocol

In addition to the super-nutrients that are there to help keep the cancer patient alive, it is also necessary to have a superb “cancer diet,” meaning controlling the things a cancer patient can and cannot eat.

Many people think that a good cancer diet is all they need along with things that kill cancer cells. This is definitely not true.

While an excellent cancer diet is necessary, it is not sufficient for an advanced cancer patient. Specific products, as mentioned above, have a history of being critical to keeping cancer patients alive until the cancer cells can be dealt with. They can start becoming effective within days or weeks.

But a bad “cancer diet” can sabotage a good cancer treatment.

It is the cancer diet, whether good or bad, which determines the “inner terrain” of the body and the atmosphere in which the cancer cells live. A highly alkaline or better yet a highly oxygenated inner terrain will stop the spread of cancer almost dead in its tracks. They won’t get rid of existing cancer cells as much as they will stop the spread of the disease.

Thus, you are not really killing the thugs with a good cancer diet, you are just “sedating” them.

On the other hand, a highly acidic inner terrain (such as eating sugar or drinking diet soda pops) creates an inner terrain in which cancer cells (i.e. actually the key is the microbes which are inside the cancer cells) get excited and aggressively replicate. Ice cream is probably the worst food on the planet earth for cancer patients.

Much more research needs to be done, but for now remember these keys:

  • Priority number one is to supercharge the body with super-nutrients which are known to be effective against cancer and are known to “buy time” for the patient,
  • The second priority is to revert cancer cells into normal cells, if possible,
  • The third priority is to kill cancer cells, and this method must be paced,
  • A bad “cancer diet” can literally destroy a cancer treatment or a good “cancer diet” can contribute to the treatment but cannot replace the specialized super-nutrients.
