The 5^th International Biobran Workshop – New Modern Ways to Treat Cancer

By Serge Jurasunas

The 5^th International Biobran Workshop (June 9-11, 2017), set up in the beautiful and medieval city of Krakow, Poland, was attended by over 150 doctors and representatives of Biobran that came from England, Germany, Hungary, Slovakia, Israel, and Portugal.

Personally, this was not the first time that I had participated in a Biobran seminar or workshop. Several times in the past, workshops were organized at the University of Oxford, St. Anne’s College. In 2007, I delivered a 2 hour 30 minute lecture on cancer and Biobran at the Lithuanian University of Vilnius, Faculty of Medicine, and also in Budapest. The workshops were organized by DHD Europe (Slovakia), which serves as the headquarters of the Daiwa Lab in Japan that manufactures the immunomodulator Biobran.

For over two decades, Biobran has attracted the interest of researchers because of how quickly it activates natural killer cells along with other anticancer properties. Many doctors are using Biobran in their cancer protocol to restore immune cell activity. Today, the immune system seems to attract more conventional oncology practitioners who want to improve chemotherapy effectiveness, minimize side effects, and increase quality of life. In fact, Biobran has become well known all over the world, being distributed in about 50 countries.

Dr. Mamdooh Ghoneum, PhD, Chief of Research at Charles Drew University of Medicine and Science, and Research Associate at School of Medicine, University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA), is the author of impressive research on Biobran and has published a large number of scientific papers on Biobran and cancer explaining how natural killer (NK) cells can be restored in cancer patients using Biobran/MGN3.

What Is Biobran?

Biobran is a modified arabinoxylan rice bran, enzymatically treated with an extract from shitake mushroom mycelia that permits, unlike other fibers, quick intestinal absorption into the bloodstream, activating a number of cytokines that, in turn, activate NK cells, dendritic cells, and macrophages. Most cancer patients have a low basal NK cell activity compared to healthy individuals; natural killer cells are our first line of defense against cancer. Several studies have shown that Biobran increases NK cell granulated perforin and granzymes that, in turn, kill cancer cells by apoptosis. Over the past decades, many new studies have shown the efficacy of Biobran to synergize with various chemotherapy agents such as daunorubicin and paclitaxel.

My presentation, “New Modern Way to Treat Cancer,” included data showing the synergy of Biobran with chemotherapy and also the synergy of Biobran together with curcumin that improves the ratio BcL2/Bax and how they stop the cellular cycle at G2, S or M and, therefore, increase apoptosis to improve the effectiveness of chemotherapy agents. Furthermore, Biobran reduces side effects from chemotherapy and improves quality of life even in terminal cases, as I showed with some Japanese studies but also with some of my own cases. Of course, I presented a number of clinical cases to support the presentation including cancer of the breast with liver and bone metastasis, stomach cancer, one case of prostate cancer with bone metastasis, and colon cancer stage IV with lung metastasis. Bone scans and other before and after scans demonstrate how tumors and metastasis can be eliminated with integrative oncology or even, as in a case of prostate cancer with bone metastasis, without conventional medicine.

“New Modern Way to Treat Cancer” at the Biobran Conference

Three important names in the field of oncology were participating in this workshop delivering several interesting papers related to the immune system, natural killer cells, and Biobran:

• Prof. Rupert Handgretinger, MD, PhD, Director of Department of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology, University Hospital Tübingen, Germany. (Lecture: Harnessing Natural Killer (NK) Cells for Cancer Immunotherapy);

• Prof. Hajtó Tibor, MD, PhD, immuno-oncologist, Department of Immunology and Biotechnology, Medical University Pecs, Hungary. (Lecture: Evidence of Based Benefit of the Immunomodulator Biobran in Tumor Therapy.) He also showed impressive, well-documented clinical cases.

• Joseph Brenner, MD, former Chief Oncologist at the Wolfson Hospital and Director of New Hope Clinic and Medical Center for Integrative Cancer Treatment, Israel. Dr. Brenner has a fellowship in radiation oncology (Rhode Island Hospital) and studied chemotherapy at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Institute in New York. (Lecture: Combined Biobran and Hyperthermia in the Treatment of Cancer.)

What is interesting to note about Dr. Brenner is that he was himself a victim of cancer and managed to open his mind and offer other treatments to cancer patients. Today, Dr. Brenner is no longer convinced of the effectiveness of chemotherapy to cure cancer as explained in detail in his important book Living Without Cancer, already translated in English, Chinese, and Russian.

Dr. Brenner delivered an excellent lecture based upon hyperthermia treatments and Biobran. Dr. Brenner also pointed out the necessity of detoxification and natural food diet in the treatment of cancer. Years ago, Dr. Brenner came to my clinic in Lisbon to learn how to include nutrition, detox, and diet in the treatment of his cancer patients. Only very few oncologists have shown such desire to learn about alternative support, nutrition, and the use of dietetic supplementation.

Other interesting lectures were from Prof. Dr. Hegyi Gabriella, MD, PhD, and especially the one from Professor Basant Pari, MD, on Lyme disease and Biobran. (Lecture: Aspects of a Trial of Biobran Mgn3 in the Disease)

My lecture, “New Modern Way to Treat Cancer,” is available on Slideshare. Also, my fully illustrated course in immuno-nutrition based on new developments in immuno-oncology using natural compounds such as Biobran, chlorella extract, and nutrition is now available to doctors.
