Several years ago now I had aggressive melanoma for which a remedy had to be identified or death was certain. The lymph gland in my armpit was rock hard and I had a fast growing lesion. That prompted a search for possible remedies and for years now the following therapy has put the cancer into remission.

There's nothing quite like this therapy for fighting cancer. It is reported to be common practise in Japan, Brazil, China, and is gaining worldwide attention.

Cancer is an umbrella term with a number of major sub-categories, and over 200 known types :

Four major types of cancers are recognized: (1) carcinomas, which originate as a sheet of cells on a surface (e.g., skin, nose, lung, breast, prostate); (2) sarcomas, which develop in supporting tissues (e.g., muscle and bone); (3) teratomas, which arise from embryonic cells; and (4) leukemias and lymphomas, which involve cell divisions in body fluids.

Other definitions are :

Any of various malignant neoplasms characterized by the proliferation of anaplastic cells that tend to invade surrounding tissue and metastasize to new body sites. Or, any malignant growth or tumor caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division; it may spread to other parts of the body through the lymphatic system or the blood stream.

Carcinoma - Any malignant tumour derived from epithelial tissue; one of the four major types of cancer.

Sarcoma - A usually malignant tumour arising from connective tissue (bone or muscle etc).

Lymphoma - A neoplasm of lymph tissue that is usually malignant.

Melanoma - Any of several malignant neoplasms (usually of the skin) consisting of melanocytes.

These take various forms, including lung cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer, skin cancer, kidney cancer, prostate cancer, and others.

It is unusual to find a therapy which is effective on many types of cancer.

Several years experience indicates that immune boosters are one of those must read stories; particularly for any who are seriously unwell and who may have a weakened immune system. To clean up necrotic or cancerous tissues requires the white blood cells or leukocytes (which includes macrophages) to remove dead tissue resulting from treatment, or to act on cancer cells. Studies have found the following therapy not only has a positive action on macrophages, but on B lymphocytes, natural killer cells and suppressor T cells. All immune functions are improved, including phagocytosis (ability to engulf foreign cells and particles) release of certain cytokines (intercellular hormones) IL-1, IL-6, GM-CSF, interferons, and the processing of antigens. Macrophages are involved in everyday detoxifying processes, intestinal flora maintenance, anti-infective and anti-tumor protection and maintenance of overall health integrity.

Medicinal mushroom tea, using ABM Agaricus Blazei Murrill, has gained a large following. ABM's use is reported to be common practise in Japan, Brazil, China, and is gaining worldwide attention, with considerable research to support ABM's immune boosting capabilities. There are reportedly no apparent side effects, and my experience over the past several years indicates it to be safe and very effective at fighting cancer.

To make the tea put one heaped teaspoon of ABM powder in 1/5 of a cup of boiled water. After giving it a good stir with the teaspoon let it sit for 3-5 minutes before drinking. Have ABM tea two or three times a day, on an empty stomach if possible.

When there is less time to make ABM tea, a helpful alternative is ABM extract in capsules. My experience suggests this is
much less effective than fresh ABM tea, but perhaps it is a useful backup, particularly when travelling.

ABM has a noteworthy record of putting cancer into remission while used. Skin lesions or external tumors
can be cured with electro-cauterization http://www.geocities.com/faqshelp/Cauterize.html.

ABM's reportedly active ingredient Beta-Glucan, when isolated into capsule form, seems ineffective against cancer, as contrasted with fresh ABM tea, if my trial was any indication.

Reducing sugar intake is thought to assist with reducing cancer growth. Some suggest sugar depresses the immune system, (ie
"it doesn't take much: a blood sugar value of 120 reduces the phagocytic index by 75%"), and my experience shows it to be helpful to keep consumption to a minimum during therapy. Replace sweets with other foods, such as a small quantity of raisins or banana chips.
"One notable feature of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by fermentation of sugar. All normal body cells meet their energy needs by respiration of oxygen, whereas cancer cells meet their energy needs in great part by fermentation."

"According to Dr Warburg, damaged cell respiration causes fermentation, resulting in low pH at the cellular level. Dr. Warburg, in his Nobel Prize winning papers, described the environment of the cancer cell: A normal healthy cell undergoes an adverse change when it can no longer take in oxygen to convert glucose into energy. In the absence of oxygen, the cell reverts to a primal nutritional program to nourish itself by converting glucose through the process of fermentation. The lactic acid produced by fermentation lowers the cell pH and destroys the ability of DNA and RNA to control cell division. Cancer cells then begin to multiply without restraint."

There are a few cancer theories, with associated anecdotal remedies. See http://www.cancure.org/choiceoftherapy.htm for a comprehensive list of attempted cancer therapies. My cancer has been in remission for several years and I expect that to continue, while a number of others who relied solely on usual allopathic or oncological remedies sadly didn't make it.
