It was formerly believed that cancer is a localized disease. A lesion, usually in the form of a bump or lump appears at some location of the body. This was thought to be a result of some activity in that particular area such as an invading virus, activity of carcinogens ( cancer causing agents ) or possibly the end product of some form of trauma, such as a blow. Today, we know that this may not be necessarily so. There is a growing conviction among researchers and physicians that cancer is a complex disease that effects the entire body and not just the specialized cells of a specific organ system - despite the localized evidence of a tumor. It's an insidious disease that involves the vital forces of the entire body, central nervous system, digestive tract, pancreas, lungs, excretory organs, skin and the body's total defense mechanism. Therefore, localized treatment such as surgery, radiation or chemotherapy, when used alone to remove a localized tumor, merely delays the appearance of another tumor because the underlying basic sytemic cause of the cancer has not been removed. The function of the body's immune system is to destroy and eliminate from the body all foreign materials which should not be there. When cancer cells are formed in our bodies, which they often are, as long as our lymphocytes, macrophages and our natural defense system are able to kill and eliminate enough of these cancer cells to prevent them from spreading, we remain healthy. These cancer cells are normally destroyed by our body's defense mechanism in only a few hours. Therefore, they cannot multiply and start an invasive, destructive growth. When this natural process proceeds normally, the disease we know as cancer does not even begin. However, if the immune system becomes weakened as a result of poor health habits or other undesirable factors and the cancer cells that form are not destroyed routinely on a daily basis and are allowed to survive, then they will multiply, commence an invasive growth and the disease of cancer will begin. By the time we reach the age of 30, our immune system may begin to weaken, increasing the possibility of certain degenerative or metabolic diseases to progress. The object of metabolic therapy is to help the body to strengthen its immune system - to bring it back to its normal, fully functioning condition so that it regains its capacity to kill cancer cells as they form. By accomplishing this goal, the cancer cells are eliminated before they can start an invasive growth of healthy tissue and to kill those cancer cells which have begun an invasive growth. It is believed by a large number of researchers and doctors that we can remain healthy for a remarkably long period of time as long as the individual cells of the body are supplied with the proper amount of oxygen and nutrients and such enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and other necessary factors such as amino acids, which come from the proteins in our diets. Also, our bodies must be capable of eliminating the waste products of cellular metabolism and detoxifying themselves of the pollutants to which we are exposed. This, in essence, is the heart of metabolic cancer therapy. It is a multi-faceted program incorporating numerous related elements, each of which most definitely plays an important role in the success of the overall therapy plan. Metabolic cancer therapy is not a "do-it-yourself" program and in no case should self treatment be attempted. Each cancer patient represents a unique condition and a unique chemical complex. The Center For Holistic Life Extension is not a warehouse, we do not give therapy without examination of the patient. Dosages and program schedules must be varied by the physician to fit the individual patient. The cancer patient should now understand the basic objectives of metabolic cancer therapy: (1)To provide adequate nutritional support. (2)Stimulation of detoxification processes. (3)Support of the basic immunity mechanism of the body. (4)Minimizing the intake of toxic agents from every source. (5)Increasing oxygenation of oxygen starved tissue.
