Dr. Gregg Says “We Are There!”
*******************************
Most of you will remember Dr. David Gregg, the cell biologist
who has done extensive ground-breaking research on the cancer
cell. If you need to refresh your memory on his approach,
just reread the articles in my Newsletters #41 and #42.
Briefly, his theory is that a potent combination of anti-
oxidants plus DMSO will cause the cancer cell to turn from
anaerobic to aerobic (normal) which will cause it to die on
the normal cell’s schedule. This combination also inhibits
the angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels by the cancer
cells).
Many of you have heard of cesium chloride as a cancer treat-
ment. I have several readers who have told me about their
successful use of cesium to get their cancers under control.
Still, I have never recommended anyone try this treatment
without competent medical supervision from a doctor with
experience using it as a cancer treatment.
When Dr. Gregg learned about cesium chloride as a cancer
treatment last year, he studied it and added an addendum
about its properties to his treatise on the cancer cell
in August, 2003.
When I heard from him this week, he said he had added some
other important information to his treatise which he wanted
me to comment on. You can read it at:
http://www.krysalis.net/cancer.htm
Just scroll down to the end of the article and read the last
couple of pages. I will attempt to summarize it here, but
you really need to read Dr. Gregg’s text to get “the full
story.”
Cesium chloride can be toxic even at levels recommended by
the discoverer, Dr. Brewer. It accummulates. What is
called the “biological half life” of cesium is 110 days.
This just means that in 110 days, half the dose will remain
in the body. In another 110 days, half of the half will
remain, and so on. It lasts a long time.
On the other hand, administered by a competent medical
professional, it is very effective in selectively killing
cancer cells. It needs to be taken with appropriate amounts
of potassium for two reasons. The combination increases the
cancer cell-killng effect and the potassium replaces that
which is leached out of the blood by the cesium. In addition
to the possible toxicity from the cesium, there is the danger
of excess toxicity caused by the “die off” of the cancer
cells. The potassium level in the blood needs to be tested
frequently. So, bottom line…it works, but “don’t try this
at home.”
Dr. Gregg’s new discovery, with the help of a colleague
named Dr. Rich Van Konynenburg, is that the cesium is even
more effective than he thought. It blocks the “channel”
from the cell through which the potassium exits. Thus, both
the cesium and potassium are trapped in the cell, making the
necessary dose of cell-killing (and toxic) cesium lower when
it is combined with potassium.
Dr. Gregg’s “nutritional” approach (see my Newsletters #41,
#42 and #48), on the other hand, is safe and effective,
particularly at early cancer stages. The two treatments
combined represent a complete “answer to cancer,” according
to Dr. Gregg. In his words:
“My Rash Statement: We are there!”
Remember, he is a cell biologist and a good one. His
theories are sound, but they are still theories. He does
have some feedback from people who have tried his theories
on themselves with competent medical supervision. For
example, in an e-mail today, he cited an anecdotal case,
as follows:
“I have already received feedback about one case, initiated
because of my treatment of cesium, where the lady appeared
to reverse her stage IV cancer that had gone to the bone.
Reportedly she had only a couple of weeks to live. Her
white blood cell count went back to normal in 4 days and
she reports feeling very well, like she did a couple of
years ago, now over a month later. I don’t know who she is
and have been told she is under the care of a doctor. She
is paying close attention to insuring that she is taking
potassium with the cesium. She is also combining it with
the nutritional approach at the same time. This is a start.
I am hoping for a more systematic development that can be
reported.”
Dr. Gregg feels that this approach will serve to “…relegate
this dreaded disease into the past…” much like polio. His
reasoning is that “No new drugs have to be developed so the
rate of implementation is dependent solely on the rate of
information transmission and the degree of commitment by
those charged with treating cancer.”
Those of us familiar with “those charged with treating cancer”
will hardly hold our breath waiting for this approach to be
accepted and applied to routine cancer care. I feel, however,
that all cancer patients, particularly those who have been
given the “death sentence” like the lady above, should be
aware of all their options. This is a real one which all
cancer patients and their caregivers should consider.
I wish I could give you a single resource where you could find
the medical professional help you need to try this second prong
(cesium/potassium) in Dr. Gregg’s two-pronged approach. All I
can suggest is that you inquire about this treatment to the
doctor/clinic resources in my book and newsletters. You can
find the help you need with God’s help.

A Reader’s Story
*****************
Here’s an inspiring story from Sherri Magsam-Dimenna about
her Mother’s successful treatment. Needless to say, I’ve
congratulated Sherri for her successful “advocacy” for her
Mom and begged them both to continue the nutritional part
of her Mom’s treatment indefinitely.
“Hi Bill! Happy New Year!
It’s been awhile since you’ve heard from me, but I just
thought I’d give you a little update on my mom (stage 3C –
Ovarian; surgery on 11/3/03). She decided to go the ‘middle
of the road’ approach – chemo, in conjunction with a healthy
diet and supplements.
She is taking MGN3, Vitamin C, and a Life Extension powder
multi vitamin and mineral. She just finished her 3rd Chemo
treatment, so she is half way there with only 3 to go (thank
god!!). She has handled the chemo extremely well…….has
had virtually no side effects other than some indigestion the
first go-round.
Her energy level is high, and her appetite is healthy. Some
good news with the recent blood test – the CA125 [ovarian
cancer marker] – prior to surgery it was 500 (very high), then
it dropped to 78, and now it is down to 12 (11 is normal). My
mom was sooo excited, and attributes her progress to both the
chemo as well as the diet/supplement regimen she is on.
I want to thank you again for your book and for the time you
spent e-mailing me, giving me insight – it means so much to me.
I also took your suggestion and bought the book, ‘Beating Cancer
with Nutrition’ by Patrick Quillin – EXCELLENT!!!! I’ve read it
a few times now, and have implemented a lot of what he suggests
in my own diet.
I’ll keep you posted:) Thanks again, Bill!
Sherri”
All of us can learn ways to prevent cancer and other degenerative
diseases by taking advantage, as Sherri did, of our experience as
caregivers. Thanks, Sherri, for an inspirational message.

PARABENS = BREAST CANCER DANGER?
Johanna Byrne, one of my readers, asked me to pass on to you an
article on parabens. Parabens are preservatives commonly found
in cosmetics (which would include underarm deodorants), foods
and pharmaceutical products. They are more fat-soluble than
water-soluble, making the fatty tissue of the breast a possible
site for accumulation. This study certainly confirms that the
chemicals that surround us do accumulate in our tissues. Whether
the danger warrants your purging your cosmetic and medicine
cabinet, I leave up to you. Here is the article:

DR RATH’S EPICAN FORTE vs. “HEART PLUS”
Dr. Rath’s approach to inhibiting metastasis (what kills cancer
patients) is quite effective. See his web site at:
http://www.naturally-against-cancer.org
In Chapter 5 of my book, I recommend a product called “Heart
Plus” from Our Health Coop. The reason I recommended it is
that I thought it mimicked the more expensive Epican Forte
product from Dr. Matthias Rath. The principal ingredients in
both are Vitamin C, l-Lysine and l-Proline. The latter two are
common amino acids. Vitamin C and l-Lysine have been used for
many years to treat cancer at cancer clinics. One example I am
familiar with is the Aidan Clinic in Tempe, Arizona, which has
recently closed down after changing hands.
Paul Harris, a very astute reader, has done some research which
might be important for you. Here’s what he told me:
“In your discussions of Dr. Rath’s work, you regularly suggest
that Heart Plus is a cheaper substitute. I was orginially in
agreement with you. However, as I read the information on Dr.
Rath’s site reporting the in vitro trials that he has done, I
noticed that the addition of green tea extract [EGCG] had a
significant impact on the percentage of breast cancer cells
invading the collagen matrix. Using the ingredients of Heart
Plus, l-lysine, Vitamin C and l-proline, 62% were blocked.
However, by adding EGCG, 100% were blocked. There is more
information on the site, but for the time being this is suf-
ficient to make my point. Therefore, I conclude, based on Dr.
Rath’s claims that there is a significant difference between
Heart Plus and Dr. Rath’s product Epican Forte.”
Paul is the second reader to point this out to me. If you are
interested in this product, you need to take this into account.
LIFE EXTENSION FOUNDATION
I have frequently mentioned the Life Extension Foundation (LEF)
in these pages. They publish an astonishing amount of infor-
mation on natural health treatments. Unfortunately, they also
sell an astonishing array of products to treat each of the
conditions they study. It is this apparent “conflict of
interest” which has made me hesitant to recommend them as a
source. You may have noticed that Sherri’s Mom (see above)
was taking one of their vitamin and mineral products.
I still feel they are a valuable source of information, if you
just keep their commercial motive in mind and shop around.
Here’s what Ted Groce, another very active researcher and
reader of my newsletter had to say about them:
“I found this website,
http://www.lef.org/protocols/prtcl-027d.shtml
Life Extension Foundation, while doing an internet search and
they have a 14-page discussion on cancer and its treatment. They
discuss conventional drugs, nutritional therapies, diet etc. and
reference tons of scientific studies in the process. They also
sell the nutritional supplements that are cited in all these
studies, as well.”
Thanks, Ted. Check it out, folks.
BRIBERY — IT’S WORKING
As most of you know by now, I collect cancer “stories.” Send
me yours — positive, negative or neutral — and I’ll send you a
free copy of the latest edition of my “Cure Your Cancer” e-book
by return e-mail. If you already have my book, you can just
give me the name and e-mail of a loved one or friend for me to
send the e-book to as a gift.
Without a national data base, we must exchange information with
each other on what works. Your story may help many others, so
just send it to me in an e-mail. Thanks!

16 THINGS THAT IT TOOK ME OVER 50 YEARS TO LEARN
1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a
laxative on the same night.
2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the
human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full
potential, that word would be “meetings.”
3. There is a very fine line between “hobby” and “mental
illness.”
4. People who want to share their religious views with you
almost never want you to share yours with them.
5. You should not confuse your career with your life.
6. Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance.
7. Never lick a steak knife.
8. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.
9. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and
compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.
10. You should never say anything to a woman that even
remotely suggests that you think she’s pregnant unless you can
see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.
11. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other
people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age
eleven.
12. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of
age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is
that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average
drivers.
13. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not
a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never
fails.)
14. Your friends love you anyway.
15. Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone
amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the
Titanic.
16. FINAL Thought for the day: Men are like a fine wine. They
start out as grapes, and it’s up to the women to stomp the crap
out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have
dinner with.
In case you have wondered at the spartan simplicity of the
format of this newsletter, it apparently is perfectly
appropriate. A dear reader who is a technical writer for the
Web and much more knowledgeable about “style” issues than I
will ever be, has assured me that this format is the most
appropriate for an e-mail newsletter — simple text with
lines no longer than 65 characters. Most of you will notice
that the web links in this newsletter are highlighted in blue.
Clicking on them will open your browser and take you to that
site. If they are not highlighted (a la AOL), you may need to
“copy and paste” them into your browser. You’ll have to do
the same if you go to my newsletter archives at my web site…
“copy and paste.”
I’ll be back sometime soon with another newsletter. Be well
and send your friends to my web site:
