The pancreatic enzyme protocols for treating cancer make use of large amounts of pancreatic enzymes. They are taken on an empty stomach so they can go into the body to digest cancerous cells. And are taken with meals so that your pancreas doesn't have to produce as many enzymes to digest your food. This allows the pancreas to produce more enzymes to send into the body to fight cancer
The pancreatic enzyme protocols for treating cancer make use of large amounts of pancreatic enzymes. They are taken on an empty stomach so they can go into the body to digest cancerous cells. And are taken with meals so that your pancreas doesn't have to produce as many enzymes to digest your food. This allows the pancreas to produce more enzymes to send into the body to fight cancer. The enzymes naturally produced by the body will be more effective than any enzyme supplement. Thus the protocols tend to use more enzymes with meals than taken on on empty stomach.
Hi-Pan Enzymes
The pancreatic tissue in this enzyme fromula is from New Zealand so it is safer than US sourced enzymes. It is one of the few pancreatic enzyme formulas to have high amounts of both Trypsin (48 mg per capsule) and Chymotrypsin (40 mg per capsule). There are 120 capsules per bottle. Each capsule supplies 135,000 units of Protease, 135,000 of Amylase, and 10,800 of Lipase.
People using enzyme therapy as the primary way they are attacking cancer use around 30 a day. Six with each meal to aid digestion, and 12 on an empty stomach. That would be about 8 bottles a month. However, you may not need to use this much if you are also using other strategies to beat cancer. And if you are using the PhytoBio Enzymes along with the Hi-Pan Enzymes. They will further aid digestion when taken with meals, and on an empty stomach, will aid the absorption of the Hi-Pan Enzymes. With each serving, take one or two of the PhytoBio Enzymes in addition to or in place of a couple of the Hi-Pan Enzymes.
PhytoBio Enzymes
Every person, whether healthy or ill, should be using a high quality digestive enzyme. You will be healthier as you age, and your digestion will also improve. In addition, it helps deal with the big picture of low enzyme levels leading to cancer. It supports your overall health, takes a strain off the immune system, helps you absorb food and nutrients , helps you kill cancer cells, and cleans out the arteries. Enzymes are a basic supplement.
Each of the 180 capsules in a bottle of PhytoBio Enzymes contains 120,000 units of protease to digest protein, 8000 units of lipase to digest fats, 18,000 of Amylase to digest carbohydrates. With high amounts of a number of other plant based digestive enzymes and trace minerals, it is an excellent value. Take 1or 2 with each meal to improve digestion, and with Hi-Pan on an empty stomach. (Also take Betaine HCL and Betaine HCL Activator to improve digestion.)
These enzymes will, on an empty stomach, get into the bloodstream and work to clean it up. Their extremely high levels of protease may help to break down the fibrin coating all cancerous tumors so that the immune system can better attack those tumors. However, Neprinol is the very best fibrin digester you can use.
Here is what you can do if you are suffering from wasting.
Catabolic Wasting Protocol
Catabolic wasting can occur in the end stages of cancer, aids and other serious illnesses. It is a major cause of death in cancer. No matter how much someone eats, they lose weight. Metabolic processes at work in the body cause this. There is a protocol for nutrients that will help stop this metabolic process and thus stop the wasting.
A daily dose of 2000 mg of glutamine is suggested to prevent glutamine depletion in the tissues and the ensuing catabolic effect. Fish and borage oil supplementation, in the dose of 1300 mg of DHA, 500 mg of EPA, and 1200 mg of GLA a day, should be considered to suppress inflammatory cytokines and prostaglandins that can destroy tissue.
The intake of 30 grams a day of high potency non denatured whey protein concentrate, 10-20 grams of arginine, 2400 mg of L-carnitine, and a branched-chain amino acid complex may produce a dramatic anti-catabolic tissue-sparing effect, and regulate immune system cytokines that are thought to cause cachexia.
GlutImmune is the best source of glutamine and is not easily found. It is covalent bonded and about 10 times better absorbed than regular glutamine. One scoop a day would provide more than enough glutamine. There are 60 scoops in a container. Fish and borage oil are in all health food stores. Make sure you get the borage oil from the refrigerated section as it can go rancid. Heart & Lung Plus is a powerful anti-inflammatory herbal formulation that would be useful for this too. Take up to 3 capsules 3 times daily to reduce inflammation as quickly as possible.
ImmunoPro is an excellent biologically active non denatured whey protein. It has high levels of immune factors because it has been low heat processed and is not a byproduct of cheese making. Three containers for a month's supply. Cardio Arginine is an absorbable arginine supplement, a quart of liquid. You would need about 3 bottles a month to get almost 20 grams or arginine. You would need about 2 bottles worth of Carnitine for a month's supply.
Probiotics Support Immune System And Digestion
Another important digestive and immune system component are the probiotics or friendly organisms that live in our intestinal tract. A healthy person will literally have pounds of friendly bacteria and other micro-organisms living in their guts. Not only do they complete the digestive process, producing many vitamins, breaking down food, and killing pathogens, but they play a major role in the immune system. Some nutritionists say that they are the main component of the immune system, comprising 70% of the total immune system.
Antibiotics and many other medications - including chemotherapy, chlorinated water, birth control pills, and more, kill them. Lack of friendly organisms is the primary cause of candida fungal overgrowth. Even if you have been eating yogurt or taking acidophilus, you most likely still don't have enough. Very few yogurts contain live bacteria, and even in those that do, the bacteria in yogurt does not colonize the intestinal tract.
In addition, most probiotic supplements fail to deliver many live organisms into the intestines. For two reasons.
First, many of them die while the product sits on the shelves. Refrigeration is used to slow down their metabolism and keep more alive, but studies consistently show that a great many of the live bacteria die in the bottle.
Even more destructive is the stomach environment where the acids kills the friendly bacteria. Studies show that not much makes its way to the intestines.
Total Immune Booster contains 67 different organisms that colonize the intestinal tract very well because they are grown together as a colony. They are asleep in the capsules so they don't die, and they grow best in high acidity so they get through the stomach environment without being killed. You also get the cancer fighting benefits of AlliMax allicin extract when you take Total Immune Booster.
Ultra Blend
This is another of those rare probiotic formulas that colonizes your intestines very successfully. It contains bifidobacterium longum BB536 that babies are born with. So it grows in the intestinal tract much better than probiotics originally cultured from vegetables or fungus such as your typical acidophilus or bifidus probiotics. It fights harmful bacteria, increases healthy intestinal flora, reduces inflammation in the colon, boosts the immune system and enhances absorption of minerals.
Ultra Blend also contains Bacillus subtilis, as does Native Flora. Bacillus subtilis eats harmful bacteria, stimulates enzyme production, including Nattokinase enzymes, enhances immune function and improves assimilation of all nutrients. It is a powder. Use a couple of bottles of UltraBlend monthly for serious conditions, taking two or more teaspoons of powder daily.
Other products can help get more friendly bacteria into the intestines. Unlike yogurt, kefir is a fermented milk product that has many different micro-organisms that do colonize the intestinal tract. You can make your own. It's best to use organic milk, non-homogenized and raw is the ideal way to go. OrganicPastures.com is one source for organic raw milk. Get a good Kefir Starter and make your own kefir with that milk. It's easy. Many studies show that live fermented foods like kefir or live sauerkraut are powerful cancer fighters.
BioticBloom is inulin or FOS, a 100% chicory extract that feeds the friendly bacteria in the intestines, helping them to grow and reproduce. BioticBloom boosts the growth of beneficial micro flora, often more significantly than taking probiotics will do. This suppresses the growth of pathogens, reduces toxins, and stimulates the immune system, along with improving digestion.
Research has shown FOS fed beneficial bacteria reduce the pH of the colon thus enhancing mineral absorption, especially calcium. You can add it to just about anything including hot and cold beverages.
Flora Sweet is a prebiotic formula similar to BioticBloom that is also sweet enough to act as healthy sweetner that tastes quite good. As you need to reduce your sugar intake when fighting cancer, this is a healthy way to do so. There are about 33 teaspoons in a container.
Stevia is the ideal sweetener when fighting cancer. Sugars of any type feed cancer cells. Artificial sweeteners are basically toxic and cancer causing. Stevia is safe, sweet and even health promoting. It is a plant leaf. According to Dr. Whittaker, studies suggest that stevia has a regulating effect on the pancreas, and can help stabilize blood sugar levels in the body, therefore making it a safe dietary supplement for people with cancer, diabetes, hypoglycemia, and candidiasis.
This brand of liquid stevia has no aftertaste. It is the best tasting stevia. This extract was developed by taking only the sweet-tasting rebaudioside crystals, leaving behind the licorice-like flavor from the leaves and creating the ideal alternative to synthetic sweeteners. If you are fighting cancer, it is well worth trying. One bottle lasts quite a while as you only use a few drops per serving.
Hi-Pan Enzymes
