It may have been Marlys who directed me to the Bill Henderson book,
which I passed along to my friend with the now-deceased wife.
Although my friend did not follow the advice to abandon chemo, he
found the book a priceless reference, and followed many of the
protocols, including several I had never heard of.
This is a crucial reference for any home medical library; Henderson
has done a wonderful job.

I'm curious, if you were told by the doctor you had cancer, what would
you do? Or
what direction would you point a loved one in?
First, refuse the chemo and radiation, accept oversight for progress
and pain control. Enlist a family member as "coach," and research and
start several alternative means. Bill Henderson has an encyclopedic
effort to help cancer victims connect with the right therapies. Since
the newsletter I got from him this week says it perfectly, and he
sends everything out free to people who sign on, I think he would not
mind my copying it here. Hope the List won't mind my taking this
space either, as I am sure there are others "out there" who can use
the info. If/when my cancer comes back I will head directly to the
alternatives and skip any allopathic means except the surgeon's knife.

BEATING CANCER - GENTLY (Day 5 of 7)
by Bill Henderson
Now That You "Have" Cancer, What's Your Strategy?
Your doctor has said the "C" word and you're puzzling: "What do I do
now?
There seem to be so many options. The doctor is pressing me to get on
with
the surgery and chemotherapy/radiation. Help!"
I've been there. I know. Unfortunately for my dear wife, there was no
readily available information in 1990-94 (or, at least, I failed to
find it). Now,
there's too much on the Internet and in books, newsletters, etc.
A SOUND APPROACH
Of all the hundreds of people I have now watched overcome their
cancer, there
seem to be four "essentials" that they all have. I call them the
"Four A's."
Attitude -- all cancer survivors have a positive attitude. They know
that they, not
their doctors, are in charge of their health. They know that all
cancers, regardless
of type or "stage," can be brought back under control. They know that
they must
co-doctor, for the reasons you have already learned about our medical
"system."
Advocate -- virtually all the cancer survivors I know also had a loved
one or friend
willing to help them. How?
* To do the necessary research to get "smarter than their
oncologist."
* To accompany them to the doctor's office.
* To help them decide when to get a second (or third, or fourth)
opinion
and help them find a "holistic" doctor.
* To help them find and order the cheapest and best quality
supplements.
Cancer patients often get depressed, tired or just plain disgusted
with the struggle
to overcome their disease. Get an "advocate."
Assistance -- cancer recovery is not a "do it yourself" project.
Every cancer survivor
has had supervision of their treatment and recovery by a qualified
medical professional.
The letters after his or her name are meaningless (M.D, D.O, N.D,
etc.). What is
important is that you, the cancer patient, literally trust them with
your life. Again, the
resources for finding such a doctor through Internet directories are
phenomenal. My
book has eight such web directories in Chapter 1. But don't neglect
the "jungle telegraph."
Ask all your friends (who agree with your approach). I found my
"holistic" doctor
through a "holistic" dentist who had treated my current wife.
Action -- get on with it! Don't wait to begin taking useful
supplements (which we will
discuss shortly) until you've found the perfect doctor. Start today.
Time is of the
essence in dealing with cancer.
IMMUNE SYSTEM STIMULATION
Whatever else you have decided to do -- whether it's surgery,
chemotherapy, radiation,
alternative treatment or some combination of all of them -- you must
build up your
immune system -- immediately. Almost all cancer patients have a weak
immune system.
Like everything else, there are exceptions, but they are rare.
Remember, your immune system was supposed to cope with the errant
cells. It didn't.
A priority task for you now is to rebuild it -- soonest. How?
Fortunately, you have
several options, all of which work. They are not cheap. And they are
not covered by
insurance. Examples are MGN3, Oncolyn and BCI-26. I cover all of
them in detail
in my book. Get one and get started taking it now.
THE FOUR-PRONGED ATTACK
Almost all cancer survivors who used "alternative" (I hate that word!)
methods, used
somewhere between 4 and 6 different substances. When they overcame
their cancer,
neither they nor their doctor could tell you for sure which of the
substances did the
most work. Complicating it further, not everyone reacts the same to
all substances.
There are many variables.
* The various types of cancer cells.
* The metabolism of the cancer patient.
* The discipline he or she used in their diet, exercise,
supplements, etc.
What's a cancer patient to do? My advice. Come at the cancer from at
least four
directions. What do I mean? Of the 100 or so alternative cancer
treatments I
am aware of, the ones I recommend use different theories for dealing
with the cancer
cells. By using several of them at once, you increase your odds
dramatically of over-
coming the cancer. They also meet my three "absolute" criteria:
* They are readily available anywhere in the world.
* They are relatively inexpensive.
* They work with all types of cancer. In other words, I know
personally
many people who have used them and who are cancer-free for months or
years
(in some cases 20-30 years).
