Video Transcript: 3 Things Every Cancer Patient Needs to Do Ty Bollinger: Question for you. If somebody comes in here to your clinic and they are diagnosed with cancer, I know you don’t have a one-size-fits-all protocol, but give me two or three generalities that you would do with almost every cancer patient. Two or three things that are really important for a cancer patient to pay attention to when treating cancer. Dr. Charles Majors: Number one is I don’t treat any cancer at all. That is out of my realm. My job is whether they have cancer or any

Proceedings: AACR 107th Annual Meeting 2016; April 16-20, 2016; New Orleans, LA Resistance to chemotherapy is a significant impediment to the treatment of breast cancer. More than 30% of breast cancer patients present with intrinsic resistance to chemotherapy; almost all who initially respond will develop acquired resistance. Resistant tumors frequently exhibit constitutive activation of numerous survival signaling pathways, including ERK, AKT, NF-kB, and STAT3. We have reported that the circadian hormone melatonin inhibits the growth of both ERá+/ERá- breast cancers and, as well as the daytime induced phospho-activation of ERK1/2, AKT and NF-kB in breast tumor xenografts. We also demonstrated that dim light at night (dLAN), by decreasing nocturnal melatonin, resulted in constitutive phospho-activation of ERK1/2, CREB, NF-kB, and STAT3, promoting resistance to tamoxifen and doxorubicin therapy. Here we tested the hypothesis that dLAN, via phospho-activation of ERK1/2 and STAT3, promotes resistance to paclitaxel (Pax). Female nude rats with “tissue-isolated” MCF-7 breast cancer xenografts were housed in photoperiodic conditions of either LD 12:12, 12:12dLAN (0.2 lux), or 12:12dLAN supplemented with nighttime melatonin (0.05 õg/ml) in the drinking water, with lights on at 0600 hrs and off at 1800 hrs. When estimated tumor weights reached 2.5 g, animals were treated daily with either diluent or Pax i.p. (4õã/kg) 2 h prior to onset of dLAN or dLAN with nighttime melatonin supplementation. Blood samples collected during the mid-dark phase (2400 hrs) showed elevated nocturnal melatonin in the LD 12:12 group, but significantly suppressed melatonin in the dLAN group. Tumor xenografts from rats housed in dLAN showed a 3-fold decrease in latency-to-onset and a 2.8-fold increased growth rates vs. those from rats receiving melatonin supplementation. Tumor cAMP levels, linoleic acid, and tumor metabolism (Warburg effect) were significantly elevated in dLAN tumors. Numerous signaling pathways including ERK1/2, RSK2, and STAT3, were phospho-activated and others including AKT and HER2/3 were elevated at 2400 hrs by dLAN but repressed in dLAN melatonin supplemented tumors. Tumors from dLAN rats showed intrinsic resistance to Pax, whereas those in LD 12:12 or dLAN and supplemented with nighttime melatonin rapidly regressed. These findings show that temporally coordinated and integrated metabolic and signal transduction mechanisms, particularly the STAT3 pathway, underlying human breast cancer growth, can be activated by the host's exposure to LAN with profound effects culminating in rapid tumor progression and the development of resistance to chemotherapy.

Dr. Valter Longo and I discuss the science of longevity and the powerful effects of fasting and the Fasting Mimicking Diet.

Eating walnuts may change gut bacteria in a way that suppresses colon cancer, researchers report. A team of researchers found that mice that ate 7-10.5 percent of their total calories as walnuts developed fewer colon cancers. The effect was most pronounced in male mice, which had 2.3 times fewer tumors when fed walnuts as part of a diet similar to the typical American's.

We hope you enjoy this clip from “Eastern Medicine: Journey Through ASIA!” Today we join Dr. Pan Nien Chung to talk about the removal of cancer stem cells with a special acupuncture. Acupuncture is a staple of traditional Chinese medicine, and utilizes energy pathways, called meridians, to improve the flow of energy, called chi. Dr. Pan Nien Chung describes a special kind of acupuncture which focuses on solar alignment. The energy provided by the sun is called neutrino energy and is an integral part of acupuncture therapy in Asia. Combining neutrino energy and acupuncture can help the body eliminate cancer stem cells. Exposing the patient to the neutrino energy from the sun, in combination with utilizing four special acupuncture points, causes the patient to excrete cancer stem cells in their urine. See the rest of this episode in the full series: http://bit.ly/buy-eastern-medicine. In the summer of 2018, we traveled through Japan, Taiwan, Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and India. Asia is the birthplace of natural medicine with records as old as the 3rd century BCE showing the use of specific natural remedies. Remarkably, we still use some of them today! Over 60 experts, medical doctors, herbalists, and cancer survivors tell us what they did, how they did it, and what their results were in “Eastern Medicine: Journey Through ASIA.” ---------------------------------------------------------- Meet the Expert: Dr. Pan Nien Chung ---------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Pan Nien Chung, MD, Ph.D., DSC, originally from Laos, has been in Taiwan for 50 years. During this period, he has attended high school and medical school, and worked at the general hospital and National Research Institute. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Join TTAC's 1 million+ FB fans - http://bit.ly/official-ttac-fb Follow us on PINTEREST - http://bit.ly/official-ttac-pinterest Find us on INSTAGRAM - http://bit.ly/official-ttac-ig Visit our website: http://bit.ly/official-ttac-site -------------------------------------------------- About The Truth About Cancer -------------------------------------------------- The Truth About Cancer’s mission is to inform, educate, and eradicate the pandemic of cancer in our modern world. Every single day, tens of thousands of people just like you are curing cancer (and/or preventing it) from destroying their bodies. It’s time to take matters into your own hands and educate yourself on real cancer prevention and treatments. It could save your life or the life of someone you love. ------------------------------------------------ About Ty & Charlene Bollinger ------------------------------------------------ Ty & Charlene Bollinger are devoted Christians, health freedom advocates, health researchers, documentary film producers, and best-selling authors. After losing several family members to conventional cancer treatments, they set out to learn the truth about cancer and the cancer industry, working together tirelessly to help others to learn the truth that sets them free to live healthy, happy lives. Ty & Charlene's heartbreak and grief coupled with their firm belief that chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery were NOT the most effective treatments available for cancer patients, led them on a path of discovery. On their journey, they interviewed cutting-edge scientists, leading alternative doctors, and groundbreaking researchers to learn about hidden alternative cancer treatments. What they uncovered helped to create The Truth About Cancer and its three awe-inspiring docu-series: ”The Quest for The Cures”, “The Quest for the Cures Continues”, “The Truth About Cancer: A Global Quest”, and "Eastern Medicine: Journey through ASIA." Their message is clear: CANCER IS NOT A DEATH SENTENCE. THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE.
