If you or someone you love is
facing the possibility of cancer or chemotherapy, make sure they read this
story. Breakthrough new science conducted at the University of Michigan and
about to be published in the journal Nature reveals that intestinal health is
the key to surviving chemotherapy.
The study itself is very
difficult for laypeople to parse, however, so I'm going to translate into
everyday language whilst also offering additional interpretations of the
research that the original study author is likely unable to state due to the
nutritional censorship of medical journals and universities, both of which have
an anti-nutrition bias.
The upshot is this: A clinical
study gave mice lethal injections of chemotherapy that would, pound for pound,
kill most adult human beings, too. The study authors openly admit: "All tumours
from different tissues and organs can be killed by high doses of chemotherapy
and radiation, but the current challenge for treating the later-staged
metastasis cancer is that you actually kill the [patient] before you kill the
tumour."
Chemotherapy is deadly. It is the
No. 1 cause of death for cancer patients in America, and the No. 1 side effect
of chemotherapy is more cancer. But certain mice in the study managed to survive the
lethal doses of chemotherapy. How did they do that? They were injected with a molecule
that your own body produces naturally. Its production is engineered right into
your genes, and given the right gene expression in an environment of good
nutrition (meaning the cellular environment), you can generate this substance
all by yourself, 24 hours a day.
The substance is called
"Rspo1" or "R-spondon1." It activates stem cell production
within your own intestinal walls, and these stem cells are like super tissue
regeneration machines that rebuild damaged tissues faster than the chemotherapy
can destroy them, thereby allowing the patient to survive an otherwise deadly
dose of chemotherapy poison.
As the study showed, 50 - 75 per
cent of the mice who were given R-spondon1 survived the fatal chemotherapy
dose!
The cancer industry needs to find
a way to stop killing all their customers
The problem with the cancer
industry today is that all the conventional cancer treatments keep killing the
patients. This is bad for business. So the purpose of research like the
R-spondon1 research mentioned here -- which was funded by a government grant --
is to find ways to keep giving patients deadly doses of high-profit
chemotherapy without actually killing them. You slap a patient with a dose of
R-spondon1 (sold at $50,000 a dose as a patented "drug," of course),
dose 'em up with a fatal injection of chemotherapy, and then thanks to the
R-spondon1 you get a repeat cancer customers instead of a corpse.
That's called "good business
practices" in the cancer industry, which is so far best known for turning
patients into body bags rather than actually curing cancer.
(Yes, there is a reason why most
oncologists would never undergo chemotherapy themselves. They know it doesn't
work on 98% of all cancers.)
Probiotics are likely the key to
generating your own R-spondon1
Before I discuss why these
findings are so important for followers of natural health and nutrition, let me
first offer a disclaimer. The research mentioned here was conducted on mice,
not humans, so it isn't full proof that the same mechanism works in humans.
Nevertheless, the reason mice are used for such research is because they are
nearly identical to humans in terms of biology, gene expression, endocrine
system function and more.
Furthermore, even though this study
used an injection of R-spondon1 as the "activator" of gene expression
in endothelial cells of the intestinal lining, in truth your cells already
possess the blueprint to produce R-spondon1 on their own. In fact, human
intestines are coated with a layer of epithelial cells that are regenerated
every 4-5 days in a healthy person. This is only possible through the
activation and continued operation of intestinal stem cells, a normal function
for a healthy human.
And what determines the health of
those stem cells more than anything else? Their local environment which is
predominantly determined by gut bacteria. If your gut bacteria are in balance,
the gene expression of your epithelial cells is normal and healthy. If your gut
bacteria are out of whack, so to speak, the gene expression of your epithelial
cells will be suppressed, thereby slowing or halting the regenerative potential
of your intestinal cells. This is why people who have imbalanced intestinal
flora also suffer from inflammatory intestinal conditions such as Crohn's, IBS
and so on.
Thus, probiotics are a key
determining factor in the ability of your intestines to maintain the
appropriate gene expression for the very kind of rapid cellular regeneration
that can help your body survive a fatal dose of chemotherapy.
Meat and dairy cause devastating
gut flora imbalances that may increase susceptibility to chemotherapy drugs
This may also explain why people
who eat large quantities of processed meat, cheese and dead, pasteurized dairy
products -- especially when combined with starchy carbohydrates and processed
sugars -- are far more likely to die from chemotherapy than people who eat more
plant-based diets. (There isn't yet a source to substantiate this claim, but
it's something I've noted from considerable personal observation. You may have
noticed it too among your own family members who have undergone chemotherapy
treatments. Those with the worst diets seem to have far higher fatality rates.)
Those who consume processed meat
and dead dairy have their intestines filled with fibre-less,
difficult-to-digest proteins that are putrefied and sit in the intestines for 2
- 5 days, typically. Dietary sugars and carbohydrates then feed the bacteria
fermentation process, resulting in the rapid growth and replication of
sugar-feeding bacteria that displace the kind of healthy flora which best
protect intestinal wall cells.
This imbalance, I suggest,
increases susceptibility to chemotherapy toxicity while simultaneously
impairing the ability of the patient to absorb key nutrients that protect
healthy cells from the toxicity of chemotherapy drugs. This may explain why patients
who heavily consume meat, cheese and dairy diets tend to die so easily when
exposed to chemotherapy.
But there's something even more
alarming about all this that everyone needs to know...
Antibiotics may also set you up
to be killed by chemotherapy.
Although the research did not
directly address this question, its findings seem to indicate that the kind of
gut bacteria "wipe-out" caused by antibiotics could prove fatal to a
chemotherapy patient.
This is especially worrisome
because many cancer patients are simultaneously prescribed antibiotics as they
undergo chemotherapy. This could be a death sentence in disguise. While neither
the antibiotics nor the chemotherapy directly kill the patient, the combination of
sterilized gut bacteria and highly-toxic chemotherapy drugs could multiply the
toxicity and prove fatal. The death certificate, however, will say the patient
died from "cancer," not from the chemotherapy which is usually the
actual cause of death.
And yet, every single day in
America, patients who are taking antibiotics are subjected to multiple courses
of chemotherapy. This may quite literally be a death sentence for those
patients.
There's also a self-fulfilling
death spiral at work in all this: following the first round of chemotherapy,
many patients suffer from weakened immune system that result in symptomatic
infections. Physicians respond to this by prescribing antibiotics, resulting in
the patient undergoing subsequent rounds of chemotherapy with "wiped
out" gut flora. So the chemotherapy causes the problem in the first place, and
then the response to the problem by western doctors makes the next round of
chemotherapy fatal. This is a self-fulfilling death spiral of failed medicine.
Oncologists seem to have no
awareness whatsoever of the importance of gut bacteria in allowing patients to
protect their own healthy cells from the devastating effects of chemotherapy
drugs. Many oncologists, in fact, actively discourage their patients from
taking any sort of supplements during chemotherapy out of an irrational,
anti-scientific fear that such supplements may "interfere" with the
chemotherapy and make the treatment fail.
This is one of the many ways in
which oncologists get cancer patients killed.
Takeaway points from this
article:
• New research shows that a
substance generated by intestinal stem cells allows subjects to survive an
otherwise fatal dose of toxic chemotherapy.
• Healthy gene expression of
intestinal cells allows them to naturally produce protective molecules that
support and boost cell regeneration.
• Probiotics may protect and
support the intestinal stem cells that help cancer patients survive toxic
chemotherapy. (More studies needed to explore this and document the impact.)
• Antibiotics may be a death
sentence when followed by chemotherapy.
• Oncologists need to consider
the risks and benefits of postponing chemotherapy in patients who are
simultaneously taking antibiotics. The combination may be deadly. Conversely,
they need to consider the benefits of encouraging chemotherapy patients to take
probiotic supplements before beginning chemotherapy treatment.
