This has been the year of discoveries about “-omics” – epigenomics, exposomics, nutrigenomics and microbiomics, and toxigenomics – that do, in fact, hold the key to unlocking our health and disease mysteries.
The Epigenome: Bypassing Darwin and Evolution
More important than our collection of genes, it now appears, is how those genes are controlled by both internal and external factors: our thoughts, stress, social connections, what we eat, our level of physical and mental activity, and our exposure to microbes and environmental toxins. These factors are switches that turn genes on and off and determine which proteins are expressed. The expressed proteins, in turn, trigger signals of disease or health.
What’s even more striking is that if your DNA is tagged by an environmental factor, such as a pesticide, the impact this environmental factor has on your genes can be passed down through generations. The “epigenome” become inheritable. That means if your grandmother ate too much sugar, or smoked, or was exposed to mercury from too much sushi, the genetic modifications she incurred from this exposure could affect you. Her epigenome would carry an increased risk of disease that could be passed down from generation to generation. Interestingly, the Darwinian and Lamarckian worldviews are intersecting in 2010.
The Exposome: Environmental Influences on Health and Disease
In October 2010, Science magazine2 published an important paper that reviewed the notion of the “exposome” – the idea that the environment in which your genes live is more important than your genes themselves. What this suggests is that applying genomics to treat disease is misguided because 70 to 90 percent of your disease risk is related to your environment exposures and the resultant alterations in molecules that wash over your genes.
The question then is how do we measure and change our exposome– or the totality of the impact of the environment on your genes. We must address not just one factor but the whole collection of interacting factors that determine health and disease: toxins, food, microbes, internal chemicals including all the biologically active molecules that control inflammation, oxidative stress, gut flora, and other natural processes.
Emerging biomarkers and analytic techniques will soon allow us to map our exposome from a drop of blood and measure changes over time. Using novel treatments that help identify and remove known external toxins (like pesticides and mercury) and strategies that change the internal environment including diet, nutrients, probiotics, and detoxification would help you change your exposome and lower your overall disease risk.
Once this new paradigm of understanding how a lifetime of interacting exposures interacts with your genes to determine your chronic disease risk, once the gene-environment interactions are mapped more carefully, then the promise of the genomic revolution can be fully realized.
Nutrigenome: Eating Your Way to Better Genes
The most important thing you do to control your genes every day is eat well. Food – and the combination and quality of macronutrients (protein, fat, carbohydrate), micronutrients (vitamins and minerals), fiber, and phytonutrients (plant-based bioactive compounds) – all wash over your DNA every day turning on or off, up or down signals from your genes. This field of study, called nutrigenomics,3 offers a powerful way for you to control your destiny.
Researchers have found, for example, that depending on your genes, you may respond better to different diets. Some do better with more fat and protein and less carbs, others may not. One of the most important discoveries of the decade is how food (whether it is plant-based, nutrient-rich, phytonutrient-rich food, or processed, high sugar, nutrient-depleted food) changes your gene expression in real time over the course of weeks to months. Dr. Dean Ornish showed how this works in his seminal prostate cancer research.4 He was able to beneficially affect over 500 cancer-controlling genes simply by having his patients eat a plant-based, whole foods diet.
Microbiome: The Most Important DNA in Your Body is Not Your Own
The human body hosts 100 trillion microorganisms. The DNA of the bugs living in and on you outnumber your own DNA by 100 times. This is called the microbiome.5 Our bodies are simply a host environment for bacteria. They use us for their own purposes. The molecules produced by the DNA of these bacteria have significant impact on our health. This field of study is called metaproteomics.
This microbiome, particularly the ecosystem of nearly 500 bugs that live in your gut, have been linked to everything from obesity, to cancer, to autoimmune and allergic disorders and even heart disease and diabetes. Our modern lifestyle and diet and the overuse of antibiotics has changed the population of bacteria living in our guts and it has made us sick. 6 Which bugs we grow in our intestine determine whether we will be fat or thin, inflamed or healthy. The critical discovery of this microbiome and its implications for influencing many of the diseases of the 21st century will provide novel treatments involving changing our diets and the use of pre- and probiotics to shift the gut ecosystem into a health-promoting balance. We are only as healthy as our gut bacteria.
What the Future Holds
The giddy, back-slapping decoding of the human genome has given way to a more sober view of the limits of genomics and the remarkable understanding of what we all knew intuitively: that how we live, the quality of our relationships, the food we eat, how we use our bodies, and the environment that washes over us determines much more than our genes ever will. The next decade will better characterize how the environment affects gene expression (the genome-exposome interactions) and our health, and provide us better ways to measure and improve those interactions and help us create the best expression of ourselves.

Do you think your environment is as important as your genes in determining health or disease?
What actions do you plan to take to incorporate this new science into your life?
Would you consider changing your diet and lifestyle to change your gene expression? What changes do you plan to make?
To your good health,

LET THE ADVENTURE BEGIN!
In 1992 one of my five son's, Drew, was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Neuroblastoma is THE deadliest childhood cancer. In 1993 Drew was sent home to die by the famed Mayo Clinic after a year of intense surgeries, chemo and radiation. By the grace, mercy and timing of God we discovered Complementary and Alternative (CAM) healing therapies and immediately began a rigorous CAM program. This included whole, organic foods, natural supplementation and other CAM healing modalities such a message, energy work, chiropractic, detoxification, etc. Six months later Drew was cancer free and today--17 years later--he is in his second year at college doing quite well. Our son, Jacob, who was born with a terminal heart and stomach defect, also benefited from CAM therapies and has out lived every doctors prediction. God has always been given the glory for healing our two sons. We believe He created an amazing body with the ability to heal itself, given our God-gifted natural resources.
My belief in complementary and alternative healing modalities is fierce!!!
Over the years I have worked to educate, advocate and provide resources on the subject to as many people that have the willingness to listen and learn. I have authored two books on the subject and for the past decade have given those books away freely as the information came to us freely. My life's dream throughout this journey is to establish a non-profit with the following mission: Promote CAM therapies, granting people hope and tangible options using viable and proven cures for degenerative diseases by changing national policies, offering financial support to fund CAM treatments for those with limited resources and connecting patients to CAM healthcare resources and professionals.
Rather than create a new non-profit, I am fortunate to know an established non-profit already working toward the above mission.
Blessing Way Family Services (BWFS), 501c3, is a Twin Cities based non-profit that offers an array of holistic services to build strong and healthy foundations for the betterment of families. The organization is going through a mini-metamorphosis of sorts, including a name change in the near future to Better Way Family Services.

Merry Christmas, "You have cancer":
On Christmas day I discovered a large lump on my left breast. Had an ultrasound and mamo, which revealed the mass was solid and calcified. Tuesday, Jan 4th we got the news. My cancer is Infiltrating Mammary Ductal Carcinoma. It is an invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), an infiltrating, malignant and abnormal proliferation of neoplastic cells in the breast tissue. (okay that last sentence was from Wikipedia) Next, I had a full breast MRI, which determined good news. The cancer has not spread. Then we had a meeting with our surgeon and learned the tumor size and the aggressiveness of the female hormones feeding the cancer will require a mastectomy. I also learned there is a 40% of the cancer reoccuring in the right breast so I am opting for full removal.
The bilateral mastectomy and full reconstruction is scheduled Weds., Feb 2nd. Based on the above information, I will not be accepting chemo and radiation. Chemo kills all cells and destroys the immune system's ability to fight cancer. The risk of radiation is too great because of the location of my tumor near the heart and lungs, plus we learned the hard way that radiation has long term side effects and damage to vital organs. My healing choice will be a full CAM treatment program with several modalities such as whole, organic foods, supplementation, herbs, and various CAM services offered by licensed professionals. None of this is covered by our healthcare insurance, which has always been my greatest fear.
I am 45 years old. The mother of eight beautiful and amazing children. They are my greatest joy. I fully intend to embrace and love every spouse and grandbaby they gift me with. The love of my life, my soulmate and best friend, Philip, is the man of my every dream who stands by my side faithfully. I have never been more in love with my friends, my family and life. I have never felt healthier. My intention is to fight this and win. Then I will become a committed advocate of hope, raising a higher mission, a higher voice and higher standards for CAM therapies to be accepted and covered in this world. When my healing is said and done, I will work with BWFS to raise awareness, and build a strong foundation of friends and funding to provide advocacy and hope to millions. This is the work I have been groomed for. This is the work I've been blessed with my entire life.
The day of surgery and following, I want to be so strong for my family. We have five kids in college right now and they are spread all over the country, including one currently in Mexico (study abroad). I pray for grace and calm and even humor to gift them all with peace of mind as I go into surgery.
I know this peace must all come from deep within my spirit.
Peace and Veggies,
Leanne

Introduction to Independent Cancer Research
If you are new to this website you are probably looking for "new cancer treatments" which are currently being developed. You have come to the right place. The "Independent" Cancer Research Foundation is just that - independent. We are free to choose the direction of our research.
Collectively, the five members of the Independent Cancer Research Foundation (ICRF) Board of Directors have more than 40 years of cancer research experience which includes working directly with several thousand cancer patients!!
Because we are independent there are many things on this webpage which will completely contradict what you have been told about cancer and cancer treatments!! In fact, if you read this entire web page you will learn things about cancer you would not learn if you read every oncology book on this planet.
Based on what you have heard in the media, you probably think that cancer is caused by DNA damage and that it will be many decades before there is a general cure for cancer. This concept is false.
For example, in the 1930s, Dr. Royal Rife was curing cancer with very gentle electromedicine. The patient could barely feel the device was turned on. This treatment did not fix any DNA damage (DNA had not been discovered back then), but it certainly cured cancer.
In the 1950s, Dr. Robert C. Olney, M.D. was curing cancer with ultraviolet blood irradiation therapy (UVBI). He would extract some blood from the patient, use Ultraviolet-A light to irradiate the blood and then he would put the blood back into the patient's body. This treatment did not fix any DNA, but it did cure cancer. See the book: Into the Light - Tomorrow's Medicine Today by William Campbell Douglass II, M.D. (Chapter 12)
These, and many other examples, are proof that fixing DNA has nothing to do with curing cancer.
For example, if you safely kill the cancer cells (without killing the cancer patient first) that will certainly cure cancer!! As another example, the two treatments just mentioned actually reverted cancer cells into normal cells.
While the claim that cancer can be caused by DNA damage is theoretically possible, in reality it would be extremely rare when this happened.
So what does cause cancer in the vast majority of cases?
This next quote talks about research done by the person for which "Russell bodies" are named after. This quote dates back to 1890 (not a typo), more than 110 years ago:
•In 1890 the distinguished pathologist William Russell (1852-1940) first reported "cancer parasites" in cancer tissue that was specially stained with carbol fuchsin, a red dye. The "parasite" was found inside and outside the cells. The smallest forms were barely visible microscopically; and the largest parasites were as large as red blood cells. Russell also found "parasites" in tuberculosis, syphilis and skin ulcers.
Four Women Against Cancer, by Dr. Alan Cantwell, M.D, pages 53-54
What William Russell is talking about is a microbe which is highly pleomorphic, meaning it can change size and change shape at will (as the last quote states). Sixteen different sizes and shapes of the microbe that William Russell described have been identified by Dr. Gaston Naessens using far better equipment than William Russell had.
Gaston Naessens has been severely persecuted for his discoveries!! See: The Persecution and Trial of Gaston Naessens by Christopher Bird, page 6, for a diagram of the 16 stages.
Why would someone be persecuted for identifying 16 stages of a microbe which lives both inside and outside of cancer cells??
The reason is that this microbe is what causes cancer (how it causes cancer will be discussed below). The money interests do not want you to know that it is a highly pleomorphic microbe which cases cancer.
Why don't they want you to know the truth? The reason is that if people knew that a microbe caused cancer they would demand a cure for cancer immediately and they would wonder why modern "cancer researchers" are trying to fix DNA damage!! That is one reason why the research of Dr. Gaston Naessens has been severely persecuted.
In Dr. Naessens' research, the "somatid" state is the smallest of the 16 sizes. In this state the microbe is virtually indestructible!! Several other researchers have also identified this state of the cancer microbe but have called it a different name (e.g. microzyma, bion, protits).
Since 1890, many other cancer researchers, from Dr. Royal Rife to Dr. Virginia Livingston (and her co-workers) to Dr. Gaston Naessens, have known that cancer was caused by a microbe. All of them knew that the cancer microbe was inside of the cancer cells. While the microbe can also be outside of the cancer cell, it is the microbes inside the cancer cells that actually cause cancer.
In other words, a special microbe was able to penetrate a normal cell and turn the normal cell into a cancer cell. Another way cancer cells form is when an existing cancer cell divides and the result is two cancerous cells which contain these microbes.
Let us emphasize that these highly pleomorphic bacteria live inside of your cancer cells (as already mentioned they can be found outside of the cancer cells as well). They are why a person has cancer.
If you kill these microbes your cancer cells will revert into normal cells!! Let us repeat that again: If you kill these microbes your cancer cells will revert into normal cells!! We'll bet you have never heard that before!! Both the Rife and Olney protocols, mentioned above, worked by killing microbes which were inside of cancer cells.
The Independent Cancer Research Foundation is the only cancer research organization on earth which already knows how to kill these microbes and is looking for better ways to kill them.
Killing these microbes takes a clear understanding of what needs to be done because they are protected by the cell membrane. Thus you cannot just take antibiotics or colloidal silver and cure your cancer. Getting microbe-killing substances past the cell membranes is a major focus of the research of the Independent Cancer Research Foundation. We have already had good success doing this and we have many creative ideas on the drawing board!!
Those researchers who are trying to "fix" DNA will never find a cure for cancer because they are looking in the wrong place.
In fact there are two major ways to cure cancer. First, safely kill the cancer cells. Second, kill the microbes which are living inside the cancer cells and the cancer cells will revert into normal cells.
So why are other cancer researchers on a dead-end street trying to "fix" DNA to "cure" cancer? You will have to ask them that question.
So how is it possible to kill the microbes inside of the cancer cells?
In the 1930s, Dr. Royal Rife, who was mentioned above, was the world's leading microbiologist (he also invented the most powerful microscope in the world). Dr. Rife figured out a way to kill the microbes inside the cancer cells. He used a very gentle form of electromedicine.
Electromedicine had been used to cure cancer before, but his approach was far more sophisticated because he was a microbiologist.
Using a simplified description, Dr. Rife used two electrical waves in his device. One frequency was designed to kill the microbes and the second frequency was designed to "carry" the first frequency inside of the cancer cells, meaning through the cell membrane!! This is how he killed the microbes and how he cured cancer!! He spent a great deal of time experimenting with different frequencies.
Dr. Rife built over a dozen of these machines and had very good success curing cancer. But he was severely persecuted. The American Medical Association (AMA) tried to buy him out. He refused to sell-out because he did not trust the AMA (a wise choice on his part). However, the FDA eventually shut him down and destroyed some of his "Rife Machines."
For 70 years scientists tried to replicate what Dr. Rife had done. In wasn't until 2008 that enough research had been done on a surviving Rife Machine that his technology could be replicated and the information put on the Internet. The article was written by an ICRF researcher and was put on the website of another ICRF researcher (on the CancerTutor website).
The first modern frequency generator to have a carrier wave is called the GB-4000. The GB-4000 generated the frequencies and a 10 watt amplifier was used to amplify the frequencies. However, the GB-4000 now has an even more powerful amplifier called M.O.P.A. which uses a second technology developed by Rife - plasma. The CancerTutor website has protocols for both of these devices.
However, even before 2008 many different attempts to build Rife Machines had been made. Some of these devices were very effective even though they did not have a carrier wave. The theoretical reason why these devices worked is far beyond the scope of this home page.
So how do microbes inside of cancer cells cause cancer?
It wasn't until 2004 that a cancer researcher (who is with the ICRF) developed the model as to how these microbes cause cancer. The model has stood the test of time extremely well, but very few people know about his model!! The model will be discussed in a moment.
Because the DNA of cancer cells can be damaged, let us first talk about how the DNA of cancer cells gets damaged.
The answer begins by noting that the pleomorphic microbes which live inside of the cancer cells can morph to becoming small enough to enter inside the nucleus of the cell (the nucleus of the cell is where the DNA lives and is protected).
Once inside the nucleus of the cell the DNA of the microbe interacts with the DNA of the cell. This causes the change in the DNA of the cell.
Scientists see the DNA damage and think that the DNA damage is what caused the cell to become cancerous. Wrong!! The DNA damage is primarily the result of the cancer-causing pleomorphic microbe entering inside of the cell nucleus.
Here is another quote about cancer researchers:
•More importantly, the Dillers showed that cancer germs [i.e. microbes] were able to gain entrance not only into the [non-cancerous] cell (intra-cellular), but also into the nucleus of the cell. This intra-nuclear invasion meant that cancer microbes could gain access to the genes contained within the nucleus itself.
Four Women Against Cancer, by Dr. Alan Cantwell, M.D, Page 47
The model that the cancer microbe causes the DNA damage is actually consistent with a technique in medicine called "gene therapy." In gene therapy a "vector," which is usually a virus, has its DNA changed to be equal to what scientists want the target DNA section to be changed to. The vector is then released into the body. It eventually gets inside of cells and then inside of the cell nucleus and hopefully alters the correct DNA section of the cell. Gene therapy is used to treat some genetic diseases. In some cases it has been very successful treating genetic diseases.
But gene therapy has not been very successful at curing cancer (and never will be very successful) because the DNA damage is not what causes cancer. What causes cancer is the microbe which causes the DNA damage.
Gene therapy actually explains how the DNA of cancer cells is altered by the pleomorphic microbes which are living inside of the cancer cells. Thus, there is nothing unusual about claiming that microbes already inside the cancer cells also get inside the cell nucleus and then alter the DNA inside the nucleus. But this DNA damage is a symptom of cancer, not a cause of cancer.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How Do The Pleomorphic Microbes Cause Cancer?
Before explaining how these microbes cause cancer we need to talk a little about cell biology.
The energy in a cell comes from a molecule called ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP is made inside the mitochondria of the cell. There are thousands of mitochondria inside of every human cell.
The sequence of how a normal cell makes ATP molecules can be summarized in these steps:
1) Glucose enters inside the cell,
2) The glucose is converted into a molecule called: pyruvate,
3) Pyruvate enters inside the mitochondria,
4) Once inside the mitochondria the "Citic Acid Cycle" (aka Krebs Cycle) begins its long chemical chain-reaction (i.e. "cycle"),
5) About half-way through the Citric Acid Cycle another chain reaction spins off which is called the Electron Transport Chain (ETC),
6) The Citric Acid Cycle and the ETC create the vast majority of the ATP molecules which are made inside the cell. ATP is the "battery" of every cell.
So what happens when the "cancer microbe" gets inside of a normal cell?
Three key things happen when a microbe is able to get inside of a normal cell:
First, the microbe starts to divide,
Second, because microbes consume huge amounts of glucose the microbes intercept a growing amount of the glucose (by "eating" the glucose) as they continue to divide,
Third, because there is less glucose there is less pyruvate. Because there is less pyruvate there are less ATP molecules made. The energy of the cell drops.
Several cancer treatments work by lowering the number of ATP molecules in every cell. In a normal cell, lowering the ATP energy a little does not harm them. But in a cancer cell, lowering the ATP energy can literally kill them, causing them to fall apart.
But that is not the only way that pleomorphic microbes cause cancer. Microbes excrete mycotoxins, which are highly acidic and worthless molecules.
Thus, the mitochrondia, instead of swimming in a sea of pyruvate are swimming in a sea of highly acidic mycotoxins. All of this happens because one or more "cancer microbes" get inside of a normal cell!!
As a result of the microbes intercepting glucose and excreting mycotoxins the cell because cancerous and as long as the microbes are there the cell cannot revert into a normal cell.
Inside the newly formed cancer cells the production of ATP molecules comes to a virtual halt and the cell must revert to fermentation to get even a little energy. A Nobel Prize was awarded in the 1930s for the discovery that cancer cells use fermentation to get their energy.
It is also possible the microbes reduce the amount of oxygen in the cell (oxygen is also necessary for the Krebs Cycle and ETC). As one possible way, cancer cells have a very thick protein coating on them. This protein coating may be there to block too much oxygen from getting inside the cell. Microbes do not like oxygen and microbes are responsible for the creation of this thick protein coating. The possibility that the thick protein coating blocks oxygen, however, is only a theory (of the ICRF researcher who developed the above model).
The cancer spreads largely via cell division. When a cancer cell divides, both daughter cells have microbes inside of them.
But things get even worse for some cancer patients because of theses microbes.
In some kinds of cancer (we know of three kinds, but in fact it may be most kinds) some of these microbes are able to get outside of the cancer cells (remember from above that these microbes have been found outside of cancer cells) and then travel through the bloodstream, and ultimately "infect" other normal cells far from where the original cancer cells were. A single microbe getting inside a cell far from the original colony can start a new colony of cancer cells if the immune system does not kill the new cancer cells before the colony gets out of control.
We know that squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma and uterine cancer all spread in this way. We suspect other types of cancer may also spread in this way. A protocol to cure AIDS, which keeps the blood free of microbes, and was designed by a PhD in physics (Dr. Bob Beck), is being researched by the ICRF to stop the spreading of certain kinds of cancer.
While microbes cause cancer at the cellular level, there are entirely different concepts when discussing cancer at the systemic level (i.e. the level of the entire body).
Every human being on earth has cancer cells in their body. Normally, the immune system (using a variety of tactics) kills these cancer cells. But when the immune system gets weak, or when there are an abnormally high number of cancer cells, the number of cancer cells can grow out of control and the person may be diagnosed "with cancer."
In other words, everyone has cancer cells and everyone has an immune system. As long as there is a "balance" between the number of cancer cells and the strength of the immune system, the person will likely not be diagnosed with cancer. But when the "balance" between the strength of the immune system and the number of cancer cells get "out of balance" the person may eventually be diagnosed with cancer.
Many things can "cause cancer" by either weakening the immune system or causing an abnormal number of cancer cells to be created!! In other words, anything that disrupts the "balance" between the strength of the immune system versus the number of new cancer cells, can "cause cancer."
Let us think, as one example, about asbestos. Asbestos is essentially very small and very sharp rocks. These small rocks continuously cut the cell membranes. When the cell membranes are cut, microbes are easily able to get inside of some normal cells and thus cells become cancerous. Mesothelioma is one of the extremely rare cancers which even the best cancer researchers cannot cure because the asbestos/rocks must be removed in order to cure the cancer!! All that can be done is to put the patient on a continuous, gentle cancer treatment.
But for normal cancers, to restore the "balance" (i.e. cure cancer) all a person has to do is rebuild their immune system, safely kill many cancer cells and have a diet which is hostile to the reproduction of cancer cells (e.g. with an alkaline diet).
But that is not the approach of "modern medicine." Their approach is to destroy the immune system with chemotherapy, radiation and surgery; feed the patient ice cream and soda pop and kill far more healthy cells than cancerous cells!! They make the imbalance much worse on both sides!! Cancer becomes a chronic disease.
In fact, the cancer becomes far, far more difficult to cure after a cancer patient has had extensive cancer treatments which further destroy the balance!!
While many things can cause cancer at the level of the body; at the cellular level only one thing causes cancer: a highly pleomorphic cell-wall deficient bacteria. There are exceptions to this rule, but they are rare exceptions. But even some of these rare exceptions are doing nothing but making it much easier for microbes to get inside of the cancer cells.
So where do these special cancer microbes come from? No one knows for sure but what is known is that as society has become more "modern," the percentage of people who get cancer has increased. Corn and peanut butter are two foods known to be very high in microbes, but whether they contain the "cancer microbe" is unknown. Those with the big cancer research budgets are not interested in microbes.
If the general public knew that cancer was caused by a microbe they would demand an immediate general cure for cancer!! That is one reason you don't know these things and why your attention has been distracted by mainstream medicine into thinking that DNA damage causes cancer.
It is the massive deceptions of orthodox research that is one of several reasons the ICRF must remain independent!!

Collectively, the five members of the Independent Cancer Research Foundation (ICRF) Board of Directors have more than 40 years of cancer research experience which includes working directly with several thousand cancer patients!!
Because we are independent there are many things on this webpage which will completely contradict what you have been told about cancer and cancer treatments!! In fact, if you read this entire web page you will learn things about cancer you would not learn if you read every oncology book on this planet.
Based on what you have heard in the media, you probably think that cancer is caused by DNA damage and that it will be many decades before there is a general cure for cancer. This concept is false.
For example, in the 1930s, Dr. Royal Rife was curing cancer with very gentle electromedicine. The patient could barely feel the device was turned on. This treatment did not fix any DNA damage (DNA had not been discovered back then), but it certainly cured cancer.
In the 1950s, Dr. Robert C. Olney, M.D. was curing cancer with ultraviolet blood irradiation therapy (UVBI). He would extract some blood from the patient, use Ultraviolet-A light to irradiate the blood and then he would put the blood back into the patient's body. This treatment did not fix any DNA, but it did cure cancer. See the book: Into the Light - Tomorrow's Medicine Today by William Campbell Douglass II, M.D. (Chapter 12)
These, and many other examples, are proof that fixing DNA has nothing to do with curing cancer.
For example, if you safely kill the cancer cells (without killing the cancer patient first) that will certainly cure cancer!! As another example, the two treatments just mentioned actually reverted cancer cells into normal cells.
While the claim that cancer can be caused by DNA damage is theoretically possible, in reality it would be extremely rare when this happened.
So what does cause cancer in the vast majority of cases?
This next quote talks about research done by the person for which "Russell bodies" are named after. This quote dates back to 1890 (not a typo), more than 110 years ago:
•In 1890 the distinguished pathologist William Russell (1852-1940) first reported "cancer parasites" in cancer tissue that was specially stained with carbol fuchsin, a red dye. The "parasite" was found inside and outside the cells. The smallest forms were barely visible microscopically; and the largest parasites were as large as red blood cells. Russell also found "parasites" in tuberculosis, syphilis and skin ulcers.
Four Women Against Cancer, by Dr. Alan Cantwell, M.D, pages 53-54
What William Russell is talking about is a microbe which is highly pleomorphic, meaning it can change size and change shape at will (as the last quote states). Sixteen different sizes and shapes of the microbe that William Russell described have been identified by Dr. Gaston Naessens using far better equipment than William Russell had.
Gaston Naessens has been severely persecuted for his discoveries!! See: The Persecution and Trial of Gaston Naessens by Christopher Bird, page 6, for a diagram of the 16 stages.
Why would someone be persecuted for identifying 16 stages of a microbe which lives both inside and outside of cancer cells??
The reason is that this microbe is what causes cancer (how it causes cancer will be discussed below). The money interests do not want you to know that it is a highly pleomorphic microbe which cases cancer.
Why don't they want you to know the truth? The reason is that if people knew that a microbe caused cancer they would demand a cure for cancer immediately and they would wonder why modern "cancer researchers" are trying to fix DNA damage!! That is one reason why the research of Dr. Gaston Naessens has been severely persecuted.
In Dr. Naessens' research, the "somatid" state is the smallest of the 16 sizes. In this state the microbe is virtually indestructible!! Several other researchers have also identified this state of the cancer microbe but have called it a different name (e.g. microzyma, bion, protits).
Since 1890, many other cancer researchers, from Dr. Royal Rife to Dr. Virginia Livingston (and her co-workers) to Dr. Gaston Naessens, have known that cancer was caused by a microbe. All of them knew that the cancer microbe was inside of the cancer cells. While the microbe can also be outside of the cancer cell, it is the microbes inside the cancer cells that actually cause cancer.
In other words, a special microbe was able to penetrate a normal cell and turn the normal cell into a cancer cell. Another way cancer cells form is when an existing cancer cell divides and the result is two cancerous cells which contain these microbes.
Let us emphasize that these highly pleomorphic bacteria live inside of your cancer cells (as already mentioned they can be found outside of the cancer cells as well). They are why a person has cancer.
If you kill these microbes your cancer cells will revert into normal cells!! Let us repeat that again: If you kill these microbes your cancer cells will revert into normal cells!! We'll bet you have never heard that before!! Both the Rife and Olney protocols, mentioned above, worked by killing microbes which were inside of cancer cells.
The Independent Cancer Research Foundation is the only cancer research organization on earth which already knows how to kill these microbes and is looking for better ways to kill them.
Killing these microbes takes a clear understanding of what needs to be done because they are protected by the cell membrane. Thus you cannot just take antibiotics or colloidal silver and cure your cancer. Getting microbe-killing substances past the cell membranes is a major focus of the research of the Independent Cancer Research Foundation. We have already had good success doing this and we have many creative ideas on the drawing board!!
Those researchers who are trying to "fix" DNA will never find a cure for cancer because they are looking in the wrong place.
In fact there are two major ways to cure cancer. First, safely kill the cancer cells. Second, kill the microbes which are living inside the cancer cells and the cancer cells will revert into normal cells.
So why are other cancer researchers on a dead-end street trying to "fix" DNA to "cure" cancer? You will have to ask them that question.
So how is it possible to kill the microbes inside of the cancer cells?
In the 1930s, Dr. Royal Rife, who was mentioned above, was the world's leading microbiologist (he also invented the most powerful microscope in the world). Dr. Rife figured out a way to kill the microbes inside the cancer cells. He used a very gentle form of electromedicine.
Electromedicine had been used to cure cancer before, but his approach was far more sophisticated because he was a microbiologist.
Using a simplified description, Dr. Rife used two electrical waves in his device. One frequency was designed to kill the microbes and the second frequency was designed to "carry" the first frequency inside of the cancer cells, meaning through the cell membrane!! This is how he killed the microbes and how he cured cancer!! He spent a great deal of time experimenting with different frequencies.
Dr. Rife built over a dozen of these machines and had very good success curing cancer. But he was severely persecuted. The American Medical Association (AMA) tried to buy him out. He refused to sell-out because he did not trust the AMA (a wise choice on his part). However, the FDA eventually shut him down and destroyed some of his "Rife Machines."
For 70 years scientists tried to replicate what Dr. Rife had done. In wasn't until 2008 that enough research had been done on a surviving Rife Machine that his technology could be replicated and the information put on the Internet. The article was written by an ICRF researcher and was put on the website of another ICRF researcher (on the CancerTutor website).
The first modern frequency generator to have a carrier wave is called the GB-4000. The GB-4000 generated the frequencies and a 10 watt amplifier was used to amplify the frequencies. However, the GB-4000 now has an even more powerful amplifier called M.O.P.A. which uses a second technology developed by Rife - plasma. The CancerTutor website has protocols for both of these devices.
However, even before 2008 many different attempts to build Rife Machines had been made. Some of these devices were very effective even though they did not have a carrier wave. The theoretical reason why these devices worked is far beyond the scope of this home page.
So how do microbes inside of cancer cells cause cancer?
It wasn't until 2004 that a cancer researcher (who is with the ICRF) developed the model as to how these microbes cause cancer. The model has stood the test of time extremely well, but very few people know about his model!! The model will be discussed in a moment.
Because the DNA of cancer cells can be damaged, let us first talk about how the DNA of cancer cells gets damaged.
The answer begins by noting that the pleomorphic microbes which live inside of the cancer cells can morph to becoming small enough to enter inside the nucleus of the cell (the nucleus of the cell is where the DNA lives and is protected).
Once inside the nucleus of the cell the DNA of the microbe interacts with the DNA of the cell. This causes the change in the DNA of the cell.
Scientists see the DNA damage and think that the DNA damage is what caused the cell to become cancerous. Wrong!! The DNA damage is primarily the result of the cancer-causing pleomorphic microbe entering inside of the cell nucleus.
Here is another quote about cancer researchers:
•More importantly, the Dillers showed that cancer germs [i.e. microbes] were able to gain entrance not only into the [non-cancerous] cell (intra-cellular), but also into the nucleus of the cell. This intra-nuclear invasion meant that cancer microbes could gain access to the genes contained within the nucleus itself.
Four Women Against Cancer, by Dr. Alan Cantwell, M.D, Page 47
The model that the cancer microbe causes the DNA damage is actually consistent with a technique in medicine called "gene therapy." In gene therapy a "vector," which is usually a virus, has its DNA changed to be equal to what scientists want the target DNA section to be changed to. The vector is then released into the body. It eventually gets inside of cells and then inside of the cell nucleus and hopefully alters the correct DNA section of the cell. Gene therapy is used to treat some genetic diseases. In some cases it has been very successful treating genetic diseases.
But gene therapy has not been very successful at curing cancer (and never will be very successful) because the DNA damage is not what causes cancer. What causes cancer is the microbe which causes the DNA damage.
Gene therapy actually explains how the DNA of cancer cells is altered by the pleomorphic microbes which are living inside of the cancer cells. Thus, there is nothing unusual about claiming that microbes already inside the cancer cells also get inside the cell nucleus and then alter the DNA inside the nucleus. But this DNA damage is a symptom of cancer, not a cause of cancer.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How Do The Pleomorphic Microbes Cause Cancer?
Before explaining how these microbes cause cancer we need to talk a little about cell biology.
The energy in a cell comes from a molecule called ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP is made inside the mitochondria of the cell. There are thousands of mitochondria inside of every human cell.
The sequence of how a normal cell makes ATP molecules can be summarized in these steps:
1) Glucose enters inside the cell,
2) The glucose is converted into a molecule called: pyruvate,
3) Pyruvate enters inside the mitochondria,
4) Once inside the mitochondria the "Citic Acid Cycle" (aka Krebs Cycle) begins its long chemical chain-reaction (i.e. "cycle"),
5) About half-way through the Citric Acid Cycle another chain reaction spins off which is called the Electron Transport Chain (ETC),
6) The Citric Acid Cycle and the ETC create the vast majority of the ATP molecules which are made inside the cell. ATP is the "battery" of every cell.
So what happens when the "cancer microbe" gets inside of a normal cell?
Three key things happen when a microbe is able to get inside of a normal cell:
First, the microbe starts to divide,
Second, because microbes consume huge amounts of glucose the microbes intercept a growing amount of the glucose (by "eating" the glucose) as they continue to divide,
Third, because there is less glucose there is less pyruvate. Because there is less pyruvate there are less ATP molecules made. The energy of the cell drops.
Several cancer treatments work by lowering the number of ATP molecules in every cell. In a normal cell, lowering the ATP energy a little does not harm them. But in a cancer cell, lowering the ATP energy can literally kill them, causing them to fall apart.
But that is not the only way that pleomorphic microbes cause cancer. Microbes excrete mycotoxins, which are highly acidic and worthless molecules.
Thus, the mitochrondia, instead of swimming in a sea of pyruvate are swimming in a sea of highly acidic mycotoxins. All of this happens because one or more "cancer microbes" get inside of a normal cell!!
As a result of the microbes intercepting glucose and excreting mycotoxins the cell because cancerous and as long as the microbes are there the cell cannot revert into a normal cell.
Inside the newly formed cancer cells the production of ATP molecules comes to a virtual halt and the cell must revert to fermentation to get even a little energy. A Nobel Prize was awarded in the 1930s for the discovery that cancer cells use fermentation to get their energy.
It is also possible the microbes reduce the amount of oxygen in the cell (oxygen is also necessary for the Krebs Cycle and ETC). As one possible way, cancer cells have a very thick protein coating on them. This protein coating may be there to block too much oxygen from getting inside the cell. Microbes do not like oxygen and microbes are responsible for the creation of this thick protein coating. The possibility that the thick protein coating blocks oxygen, however, is only a theory (of the ICRF researcher who developed the above model).
The cancer spreads largely via cell division. When a cancer cell divides, both daughter cells have microbes inside of them.
But things get even worse for some cancer patients because of theses microbes.
In some kinds of cancer (we know of three kinds, but in fact it may be most kinds) some of these microbes are able to get outside of the cancer cells (remember from above that these microbes have been found outside of cancer cells) and then travel through the bloodstream, and ultimately "infect" other normal cells far from where the original cancer cells were. A single microbe getting inside a cell far from the original colony can start a new colony of cancer cells if the immune system does not kill the new cancer cells before the colony gets out of control.
We know that squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma and uterine cancer all spread in this way. We suspect other types of cancer may also spread in this way. A protocol to cure AIDS, which keeps the blood free of microbes, and was designed by a PhD in physics (Dr. Bob Beck), is being researched by the ICRF to stop the spreading of certain kinds of cancer.
While microbes cause cancer at the cellular level, there are entirely different concepts when discussing cancer at the systemic level (i.e. the level of the entire body).
Every human being on earth has cancer cells in their body. Normally, the immune system (using a variety of tactics) kills these cancer cells. But when the immune system gets weak, or when there are an abnormally high number of cancer cells, the number of cancer cells can grow out of control and the person may be diagnosed "with cancer."
In other words, everyone has cancer cells and everyone has an immune system. As long as there is a "balance" between the number of cancer cells and the strength of the immune system, the person will likely not be diagnosed with cancer. But when the "balance" between the strength of the immune system and the number of cancer cells get "out of balance" the person may eventually be diagnosed with cancer.
Many things can "cause cancer" by either weakening the immune system or causing an abnormal number of cancer cells to be created!! In other words, anything that disrupts the "balance" between the strength of the immune system versus the number of new cancer cells, can "cause cancer."
Let us think, as one example, about asbestos. Asbestos is essentially very small and very sharp rocks. These small rocks continuously cut the cell membranes. When the cell membranes are cut, microbes are easily able to get inside of some normal cells and thus cells become cancerous. Mesothelioma is one of the extremely rare cancers which even the best cancer researchers cannot cure because the asbestos/rocks must be removed in order to cure the cancer!! All that can be done is to put the patient on a continuous, gentle cancer treatment.
But for normal cancers, to restore the "balance" (i.e. cure cancer) all a person has to do is rebuild their immune system, safely kill many cancer cells and have a diet which is hostile to the reproduction of cancer cells (e.g. with an alkaline diet).
But that is not the approach of "modern medicine." Their approach is to destroy the immune system with chemotherapy, radiation and surgery; feed the patient ice cream and soda pop and kill far more healthy cells than cancerous cells!! They make the imbalance much worse on both sides!! Cancer becomes a chronic disease.
In fact, the cancer becomes far, far more difficult to cure after a cancer patient has had extensive cancer treatments which further destroy the balance!!
While many things can cause cancer at the level of the body; at the cellular level only one thing causes cancer: a highly pleomorphic cell-wall deficient bacteria. There are exceptions to this rule, but they are rare exceptions. But even some of these rare exceptions are doing nothing but making it much easier for microbes to get inside of the cancer cells.
So where do these special cancer microbes come from? No one knows for sure but what is known is that as society has become more "modern," the percentage of people who get cancer has increased. Corn and peanut butter are two foods known to be very high in microbes, but whether they contain the "cancer microbe" is unknown. Those with the big cancer research budgets are not interested in microbes.
If the general public knew that cancer was caused by a microbe they would demand an immediate general cure for cancer!! That is one reason you don't know these things and why your attention has been distracted by mainstream medicine into thinking that DNA damage causes cancer.
It is the massive deceptions of orthodox research that is one of several reasons the ICRF must remain independent!!
