quote:``It works 100% of the time to eradicate cancer completely, and cancer does not recur even years later. That is how researchers describe the most convincing cancer cure ever announced.
``The weekly injection of just 100 billionths of a gram of a harmless glyco-protein (a naturally-produced molecule with a sugar component and a protein component) activates the human immune system and cures cancer for good, according to human studies among breast cancer and colon cancer patients, producing complete remissions lasting 4 and 7 years respectively. This glyco-protein cure is totally without side effect but currently goes unused by cancer doctors....''
Since this treatment is all about augmentation of the immune system, there's no telling how many serious infections this treatment could eradicate.
I did a little additional research some time ago..... and then today. Here's a new update article by Bill Sardi (one of the authors of the original article).
It's enough to make you want to declare `open season' and start shooting....... most politicians, mainstream-media executives, cancer-research entities like the directors of the American Cancer Society, pharmaceutical company heads, etc.
GcMAF Cancer Cure Update: A Proven Cure for HIV Infection and Cancer Ignored by Mainstream Medicine and News Media By Bill Sardi May 2009
(I don't feel that I can post the actual articles..... there is explicit copyright protection language at the bottom of the second article.)
If you think there's any validity to this, pass the word. Don't let this research - this potential - fall away into obscurity. The more people who become aware of it, the less likely it is that this will be ignored or forgotten.

Tracy, It is frustrating that there are probably cures for many diseases out there, but if somebody isn't making money on them they get overlooked.

Thanks for posting this Tracy. Timely for me. My Aunt just died 2 days ago of chemotherapy. The cancer tumors were basically gone and the testing showed very low numbers but the chemotherapy made her very ill. She stopped eating. Her stomach and liver swelled up and she died.
My other Aunt is dieing of breast cancer. They didn't catch it in time. I'll forward this to her although she fully believes the BS her oncologists tell her. Chemo, radiation and cutting it out is the way to go.
When my husband had cancer many years ago I did a lot of research into cancer treatments. I fully believe that a number of very good cancer treatments have been suppressed for money/greed.
The long term survival statistics for the majority of cancers that use chemotherapy is dismal unless the cancer is caught very early on. Less likely now with managed care.
We haven't made much progress in cancer research in many years. We as patients must continue to search for and try new things because clearly chemo is not a cure for the majority of cancers.
Thanks again for posting.

I see why this isn't used in the U.S. but why aren't they using this in the non profit based health care systems? Seems that the governments of the rest of the world would save a lot of money on healthcare if they used this.

Dear Pryorka,
If you got a look at the funders of the members of Congress and many, many "non-profits," this would not surprise you in the least.
BigPharma is either the first or second largest contributor to Congressional campaigns. Their advertizing funds most media.
Some "non-profits," such as NAMI, get 50% or more of their funding from Pharma companies.
Did I mention corrupt "researchers"? Medical journals? Control of "continuing education?" Legions of ex-cheerleaders with exact records of every single prescription written by every doctor doing "visits" to them???
Then, we could go into the Rockefeller/chemical and drug company connection, the use of "defectives" in human experimentation relating to chemicals, drugs, and toxins....
It really gets very icky.
What is striking is how many doctors and researchers are now standing up with alternatives.
Best,
Cass A

My dad died of colon/liver cancer 4 years ago, because of a nitwit doctor who just said he had a bad stomach virus until the cancer had spread.
Dad didn't do well with the chemo either, and he ended up going into sepsis.
How I wish this treatmetn had been available to him, and others I've known.
As for treatments that may be out there, when I was still working in human services, we had to go through an HIV training.
The guy who did the training said there is a cure for HIV/AIDS out there now, but the company that developed it refuses to put it on the market.
Something about, doing so would require them to release what that treatment consists of, and then other companies would be able to produce it as well, and they just don't want to share the revenues.
You know, just better to let thousands or millions of others die because they don't want to share the wealth.
If that's true, I can't help sometimes but wish they'd all contract HIV/AIDS and have to suffer because they can't get the treatment.

Oh, Terry - so sorry. That's so disheartening. And so close to home.....
I'm not sure that forwarding this information to your aunt with breast cancer will be helpful - it might make her feel worse knowing that there is likely a cure out there that simply isn't available anywhere........
You are so right - the actual combined survival rates for all forms of cancer with orthodox cancer treatments (primarily radiation and chemo) is like a whopping 17%.
Pryorka, that is a rather good question.
But I think Cass answered it well. Orthodox medicine still rules: In the Western World, including Europe, nearly every politician owes some allegiance to a `medical company' within their jurisdiction for campaign contributions. Essentially, they are bought and paid for.
I would LOVE to see a country like India or South Africa develop this treatment. Americans already travel to India for many major operations and treatments because they are better cared for and it is far cheaper than doing it in the USA.....
I've wondered, too, how expensive the process is to `extract' this glyco-protein from blood. I'm thinking that it might be possible to set up a repository of GcMAF from your OWN blood when you were healthy, for potential use down the road if you - or perhaps another family member - got cancer, AIDS, hepatitis, etc..... it takes such a small amount that this might be feasible.......
That would REALLY make Big Pharma go completely crazy.

Thanks for sharing that story. Personally, I believe it. It exemplifies the very crux of the problem: Medicine is just a business. It has little to do with humanitarianism in it's present form.

Thanks Tracy. I did think better of sending it once I realized that the treatment is not available anywhere.
Star - I'm sorry for your loss. My aunt had the exact same cancer - colon/liver. She tried repeatedly to get the doctors to help with her symptoms but by the time she finally was taken seriously, it had spread from the colon to the liver.
Cures have been suppressed with certain types of cancer and likely other things as well. Hoxsey is a good example. There were congressional hearings and patient testimonials in the 50's. There are official transcripts of the hearings that tell the whole story.
I haven't read the official transcripts but the story is that the powers that be at the AMA wanted the formula but Hoxsey would not give it to them unless they promised to make it available to everyone. They wouldn't agree and Hoxsey was driven out of the U.S..
As we all know, our medical system is seriously flawed but my guess is that we have only seen the tip of the iceburg as to just how flawed it really is.
Tracy - as far as chemotherapy, from what I can tell, people often misunderstand what they are being told about it's success.
Apparently when oncologists talk about response rate they are talking about how much a tumor or tumor metastasis decreased in size or how much a tumor marker declined. This has no correlation with increased survival time. In addition, they can and do exclude some patients who die from their statistics.
I remember looking at some studies when my husband had melanoma and being struck by how easily the figures were manipulated. It is really scary when you start digging deeper into the medical/industrial complex.

No no Cass, I know the U.S. is corrupt. I'm refering to non-profit based health care systems in other countries. Like France for instance or Japan. I think everyone here knows our system is corrupt. In other countries however the government controls everything and they eat the cost of people not getting well, they even control the cost of treatments so there it would make sense that they use the cheapest, most effective treatment available which they often do if they know about it. So what my question was is why other countries without our corruption here in the U.S. don't use this. So don't think of the U.S. at all when I ask this.. the U.S. doesn't exist in this question.

him. I can not wait for her to return hopefully
with good news. I will let you know.

I think the level of corruption might be less in european contries, but not significantly so.
Drug companies are working on statesmen all over the world.
In fact, drug companies will discredit any cures surfacing period. Cause a cure of say cance is a direct threat to their bottom line.
If there's no disease, there's no business.
That's why drug companies also don't research cures in earnest. It's simply not in their best interest.

I hear about a magical cure for cancer at least twice a week. Most of them don't pan out scientifically, even though they start with some very promising initial results.
I really doubt anything is being suppressed. There are too many other countries in which it is in the government's best interest to find the cheapest, most effective cures since they end up paying for it with taxpayer money. Sadly, even our own horribly broken system could charge an epic fortune for said treatments/cures.
It would be nice to believe that cures to everything are simply being suppressed by evil people, but it isn't that simple.

I can believe it. Look how long it got for AIDS to
become what is known today. And Lyme what is known
today. We have phones and computers and spaceships.
But no cures for these. What is the solution?

Reading the article, this is an incredibly small number of patients. That's the first red flag for me. 16 people doesn't prove anything - you need to have a huge cross section of society in race, age, different kinds of cancers, and whatnot.
Cancer patients are some of the most compliant in the world in terms of experimental therapy. It would seem relatively simple to run an experimental trial, especially if the substance in question is easy to extract from healthy family members. Something doesn't seem right here - it would only take one or two interventional radiologists or oncologists treating their patients with this and getting a 99% remission rate to spark worldwide interest. The floodgates would be open at that point. Why has nobody done so? I'd give it a shot myself if it was my specialty.

Money.
There have been car tires made that don't wear out, alternators that last forever, but the auto industry bought the patents.
Big Pharma is not interested in cures. Just speak to an insider and they will tell you that major cures exist, but it is not profitable in the long run, so these things are squelched.
Money the biggest evil.

For any physician or even cancer center, being "The doctor who cured cancer" is more profitable and prestigious, not to mention ethical, than hiding it. The industry doesn't have to agree to it. One individual can break the mold if this is a real miracle cure.
It isn't up to Big Pharma. Much like LLMDs, some physician with "special" techniques can set up practices to either 1) help people or 2) charge whatever they please because they can offer something the mainstream can't. I've spoken to lots of insiders but at least in the fields of research and practicing medicine, I hear more failures than success stories that are being hidden.
Sometimes research isn't done or prioritized towards cures that seem far away, of course. Sadly this is a business and they'd rather develop a new diabetes drug that will be used by millions rather than a cure for a debilitating condition that thousands have. However, there are many curative agents already on the market for things we know how to cure.
Contrary to popular belief, pharmaceutical companies make a huge amount of money producing generic drugs that people need every day. Zithromax for instance - everyone from lyme patients, to people with sinus infections, to STDs use zithromax to cure certain minor infections - stuff that USED to be a huge health issue.
Big Pharma isn't the only place research happens, as we can tell by this article. There are plenty of universities, independent labs, physicians, and more.
The question is why don't the people who always say "but nobody is willing to do trials", actually DO the trials. I hear about this from every sort of "miracle cure" and throughout all of what is considered "alternative medicine" - Its always "nobody will listen to us, we don't have the funding, we can't do double blind studies, big pharma will stop us" etc. Now, aside from the expense of putting on a full double blind study, the rest just seem like excuses.
Especially in Cancer, experimental treatments are commonplace. Even a couple of empiric trials to show something is really going on (ie. If every patient that receives this treatment is cured), can secure funding for widespread placebo controlled studies.
and to glm1111 - if I was, I certainly couldn't say so here. It would send the wrong message to people and would open up a host of problems.

NFkB is in full "swing". Vitamin D3 is not inhibiting it.
(NFkB binds to DNA - which is in the cytoplasm of the cell, I think.)
"We also find that B. burgdorferi induces nuclear translocation of NF-kappa B and a transient increase in the expression of its inhibitor I kappa B- alpha."
"Comparison of the effects of calcitrol, hormonally active form of vitamin D3, with 20-hydrocholecalciferol show that
both agents have a similar potency in
inhibiting NF-κB.
Bb looks to be activating what vitamin D3 is supposed to inhibit (NFkB).
Normally (in addition),
Vitamin D Receptor *Competes for* DNA Binding with NFAT1
and Stabilizes c-Jun"
NFAT-1 (nuclear factor of activated T cells) binding site.
The Th1 pathway downregulates a glycoprotein, AFP.
"Google" AFPep for a definition.
Look at it closely.
See hydroxyproline - 2 components of AFPep?
What if hydroxyproline isn't "available"? What if it's being broken down?
Hydroxyproline is IN collagen.
"The collagens of the ECM (extracellular matrix) , which are rich in proline and hydroxyproline..."
"Borrelia burgdorferi, the spirochetal agent of Lyme disease, binds plasminogen in vitro.
Exogenously provided urokinase-type plasminogen (PLG) activator (uPA) converts surface-bound PLG to enzymatically active plasmin.
In this study, we investigated the capacity of a B. burgdorferi human isolate, once complexed with plasmin, to degrade purified extracellular matrix (ECM) components and an interstitial ECM.
In a modified enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using immobilized, soluble ECM components, plasmin-coated B. burgdorferi degraded fibronectin, laminin, and vitronectin
but not collagen.
(However)
Incubation of plasmin-coated organisms with biosynthetically radiolabeled native ECM resulted in breakdown of insoluble glycoprotein, other noncollagenous proteins, and collagen, as measured by release of solubilized radioactivity.
Radioactive release did not occur with untreated spirochetes or spirochetes treated with uPA or PLG alone.
Kinetic and inhibition studies suggested that
***the breakdown of collagen was indirect***
and due to prior disruption of supportive ECM proteins."
Organism: Borrelia burgdorferi B31
***Putative***Identity: arginine deiminase
Arginine deiminase is a calcium dependent enzyme.
This enzyme participates in arginine
and
proline metabolism.
Metabolism = breakdown.
"MMPs (matrix metalloproteinases) comprise a family of *calcium-dependent* zinc endoproteinases ***induced by cytokines and secreted by inflammatory cells***.
They enhance T-cell migration or adhesion and degrade components of the extracellular matrix proteins. Some MMPs also have been implicated in the formation of �-amyloid."
Bb is triggering our own inflammatory cytokines which -> OUR MMPS (2 and 9) = gelatinase in order to breakdown proteins so it (Bb) can use the amino acid in those proteins.
Bb uses OUR supply of lysine and breaks down arginine and proline.
"Cerebrospinal Fluid-Infiltrating CD4+ T Cells Recognize Borrelia burgdorferi Lysine-Enriched Protein Domains and Central Nervous System Autoantigens in Early Lyme Encephalitis"
Get the inflammation down WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY hitting Bb. There is a synergy!!! When we get the inflammation down (TNF alpha AND IL 1 Beta) then the treatments work BETTER.
Do NOT combine methods!!! Pick one.
Too much die-off too fast = sepsis from, likely excess NH3 (ammonia) which happens when proteins are broken down (Bb's lipoproteins and the once-infected and now DNA damaged defense cells).
Deal with the NH3.
Bb NEEDS our "inappropriate" response. It NEEDS the inflammatory cytokines to "happen"...esp. since our OWN antibodies are damaged due to the "significant" loss of Mg which happens very very fast.
We NEED adequate Mg (and Ca) to make antibodies. We NEED Mg as an anti-inflammatory and anti-histamine. We NEED Mg to INactivate HMG Co-A reductase and halt the cholesterol pathway. We NEED Mg to attach to our ATP as Mg-ATP to help transfer phosphate groups...
Bb "tricks" us...it "says" it doesn't "want" calcium (PKC inhibitor...it doesn't want calcium to activate protein kinase = phosphate transfer). It has a sodium *antiporter*...and a gene to *export Ca*.
So what do WE do...send in Na and Ca to counter (TRPM8 channel)!
When in fact, Bb needs NaCl for motility. Na for its Na-ATPase and Ca to activate the enzyme, arginine deiminase which does this:
an arginine deiminase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
NT 2/DT matrigel invasion and MMP activity. ...we investigated the effect of a nutrient mixture (NM) containing lysine, proline, arginine, ascorbic acid, and green tea extract on human testis cancer cell line NT 2/DT by measuring cell proliferation/cytotoxicity, modulation of MMP-2 and MMP-9 secretion, and cancer cell invasive potential

The goal of nutritional therapy is to exogenously furnish the specific amino acids that the previously healthy organism used to produce in excess before their acute illness.
This may especially apply to patients who are unable to produce these substances themselves even when given adequate nutrition of conventional composition.
It is likely that this is even more true in severely and chronically septic patients or in patients who have become depleted and lack the machinery to produce these amino acids."
quote:Originally posted by Lyme ED: I know someone who is a scientist -- really smart guy -- that spent decades as a senior cancer researcher for a major pharmaceutical company. His job was to test new potential drug therapies for cancer. He is now retired. Also ... his own long-term girlfriend had a form a lymphoma several years ago.
He says they just can't kill it. He doesn't believe there are any miracle cures out there. Not yet anyway.
Hey,
I think that many years ago, say >30y ago, the drug companies were looking for cures.
They were naive enough to think they might be able to crack the cancer cure.
Not so anymore.
Then they discovered that 1) This is really really hard to do, 2) This is really really expensive to do, and 3) We're not making any money on this.
So they stopped researching for cures. Then quickly the bottom line became their sole top priority and then, they stopped caring and lost focus of why they existed in the first place.
