31  Some Failures Medication: Not Specific

     THE GREAT majority of my patients are far advanced cases who have little or no appetite and are barely able to take the necessary amount of juices and digest them. For that purpose gastric juice has to be applied in the form of acidol pepsin: two capsules three times daily before meals. In addition, they need the digestive enzymes of the pancreas as the poisoned organs stop or diminish the secretion: trypsin, lipase and diastase. All these are secreted by the pancreas; therefore, pancreatin is administered in some cases: three tablets three to five times a day, not during the first two weeks, and later less if needed. These enzymes are also needed for the so-called parenteral digestion of tumors and cancer: the natural activated enzymes are better, of course. The healing of cancer in the latter part of the treatment can be considered as a parenteral digestion. After I recognized the healing of cancer to be a parenteral digestion, the entire therapeutic endeavor was subordinated to this purpose. This means that after the cancer mass is killed, the dead piece must be dissolved; I have a collection of such eliminated dead pieces from rectum, cervix, bladder, vagina, esophagus, tonsils, intestines, or wherever they find a way out of the body.

     The most drastic set-back occurred when I added to the therapy the opposite sex hormones, so highly recommended at that time by Professor Charles Huggins. These hormones were first applied in five cases which could not recover fast enough. In the first three to four months, I observed a pronounced improvement. Therefore, I administered these hormones to an additional 25 patients. All of these patients already were free of cancer symptoms but they still felt weak. Most of these cases had received previous X-ray treatment of long duration.

     The outcome of this hormone treatment was disastrous. I lost 25 of my best cases. After a remarkable improvement within three to five months, they died within three to four weeks. Only five of them could be saved.

     I feel that the specific sex hormones, even small doses, stimulate the liver and consume the painstakingly re-accumulated reserves of the liver.

     Instead of applying the damaging specific sex hormones I found it very helpful to add Royal Jelly capsules, 50 mg., two capsules about half an hour before breakfast.

     Other failures resulted from a substitution of so-called caridin for lugol and thyroid, as well as from the application of some other hormones and vitamins, ovarian substance, vitamin E., A., D., etc. and from difficulties in finding the proper combination and dosage of the potassium compound, for which about 300 experiments had to be made. Finally, I administered calcium and phosphate compositions in a number of cases where the X-rays showed far advanced decalcification and in three cases of hemophilia, complicated by osteosarcoma tumors. The bleedings had been stopped with this medication but the tumors started to grow immensely. Several of these cases were lost.

     Summarized briefly, I found that on the basis of my treatment the above-mentioned substances - hormones, some vitamins, calcium phosphate compositions (called Mineralogen) and caridin - had a carcinogenic effect. Further experiments showed that cod liver oil and other oils and fats, including egg yolks and cream also had a carcinogenic capacity - in these advanced cases - but the entire therapy is not specific.

     During 1948-49, I observed that the results of the treatment at times were less favorable than they should have been. As I was interested for a long time in knowing the mineral content of various fruits and vegetables I made some tests of the contents of apples, carrots, potatoes and tomatoes. To my great surprise. I found that all of them had lost more or less some of their normal potassium content and at the same time were richer in sodium.

     Studying the material more closely, I learned the importance of the soil for our health and wrote chapter 24: "The Significance of the Content of the Soil for Health and Disease." In this article I concluded that the soil and all foodstuffs produced by it, must be called our external metabolism, forming the basis of our internal metabolism which feeds and supports the function of our digestive organs and through their activity also the parenteral digestion and all upon which that depends.

     I would like to repeat that after recognition of the fact that cancer tumors and cells must be digested, therapy has to be arranged in a manner that all endeavor has to be subordinated to the principle of restoring the digestive tract and the parenteral digestion to normal and if possible to stimulate it to a "hyperfunction during the healing period". That seems to be what a body does under normal healing conditions. (Rokitansky, Vienna, predecessor of Virchow.)

     Although the medical profession applies all the accepted and experimental treatments first, their results did not essentially diminish the death rate in the last 28 years, as the article178 of George Crile, Jr., M.D., F.A.C.A., Cleveland, Ohio, Cleveland Clinic, shows. "If the time between the appearance of the first sign or symptom and the beginning of the treatment were the main factor in influencing the outcome of the disease, the present program of early and wide excision should show promise of controlling the death rate. Unfortunately, statistics since 1930 show no decrease in the death rate."

     "Failure of cancer control programs to diminish the death rate indicates that surgery and radiation, no matter how skilfully applied, do not often prevent or permanently control metastasis from highly malignant invasive cancers. A number of recent studies of cancer of the breast indicated that mortality is a constant process little affected by treatment."

     In closing I would like to emphasize again that this book is written for the purpose of presenting 50 cases, almost all of them far advanced, so-called terminal cases. In a second volume there will be published fewer chapters, but many more such cases. Every case which had been given up by cancer experts shows how far-reaching the results of this treatment are. These facts render any statistics unnecessary.

     The nucleus of the therapy is to keep in mind the problem as a whole and not to lose sight of the details of the pathological reactions.
