Two Powerful Herbal Extracts Protect Prostate Cell DNA
by Melissa Burchill, RD, CDN
The late molecular biologist and biochemist Mirko Beljanski, PhD, not only developed the Onoctest, which clarifies the sources of DNA destabilization that lead to cancer, but also discovered the properties within the tropical plants Pao pereira and Rauwolfia vomitoria that prevent the process of carcinogenesis.

Integrative Approaches to the Treatment of Cancer at Amitabha Medical Clinic and Healing Center
by Isaac Eliaz, MD, MS, LAc, Elaine Weil, NP, CNC, and Cheri Quincy, DO
Integrative Medicine is "based on…patient-driven medicine." Practitioners, like the authors, use natural therapies (nutrients, detoxification regimens, dental and other specialized testing, acupuncture, meditation, craniosacral therapy, etc.) in conjunction with mainstream treatments to create a synthesis of thoughtful, individualized treatments and "a true partnership between the practitioner and the patient."

Naturopathic Oncology
by Walter Lemmo, ND
The emerging field of Naturopathic Oncology melds the use of naturopathic medicine and its principles with conventional care, offering not only a safe and effective route to combining therapies, but also the presence of a knowledgeable health advocate during what is often a frighteningly confusing medical experience.

by Prof. Serge Jurasunas

Concept of Cell Symbiosis Therapy
by Heinrich Kremer, MD
Dr. Kremer's recognition of an intracellular symbiosis potentially reconfigures assumptions about the origins of cancer and addresses some of the disease state's mysteries, including the Warburg Phenomenon. Furthermore, therapies derived from this new understanding of cell symbiosis have yielded impressive success.

Poly-MVA Case Reports
by Shari Lieberman, PhD, CNS, FACN
Patient histories reveal noteworthy results – including clinical remission – with the use of Poly-MVA [active ingredient, a lipoic acid/palladium complex (LAPd)] in cancer patients receiving palliative care, and raise interest in the formulation's potential to aid recovery in all stages of cancer.
