ColostrumPRO with Immulox enhances normal immune factors, providing dual action in the bloodstream and in the digestive tract, to help maintain a robust intestinal lining and promote healthy intestinal flora. Hyperimmune Strength colostrum retains the full spectrum of Immunoglobulins found in nature. This provides clinically proven protection from a broad variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, fungi (such as Candida) and protozoa as well as the toxins they may produce. Beta 1-3 glucan, a polysaccharide, is a powerful immune system stimulant which activates macrophages. Arabinogalactan is a powerful immune system stimulant that increases the activity of natural killer cells and macrophages and inhibits the attachment of bacteria to cells. BIO-lipid is a unique liposomal delivery system that ensures safe passage through the GI tract for maximum bioavailability and absorption. ColostrumPRO 120 caps, $41

Melatonin
"A pilot study of insomnia and lung cancer symptoms in early stage lung cancer patients.
Background: Sleep disturbances have been reported in up to 79% of patients with cancer. 
Melatonin helps us sleep and has two other very important roles. Melatonin is part of the serotonin pathway - this is one of the "feel-good" hormones and a lack of it is known to contribute to depression and seasonal affective disorder. Melatonin also contributes to a well-functioning immune system and it has a recognized role in controlling at least some cancers and reducing the impact of ageing.
Melatonin is a particularly strong antioxidant, it reduces cancer's ability to grow and it stimulates the immune system to increase its ability to deal with cancers and infections. It has been subject to a huge range of animal and human studies with the knowledge of its usefulness in inhibiting cancer going back more than 30 years."
3mg 180 caps Melatonin $7.79

ESSIAC is a world renowned herbal formula developed by Rene M. Caisse, a Canadian nurse. Since 1922, Nurse Caisse used her original herbal formula to help support the immune system in cancer patients. Rene Caisse is world renowned for making significant contributions to the field of natural medicine. SOURCE

Liver Cleanser : Liver cleansing is essential for cancer treatment since the liver is the key organ for detoxification when destroying cancerous cells. It's also the key organ for recreation of healthy tissue to replace the tumor tissue.

The "American Cancer Society's Guide to Complementary and Alternative Cancer Methods" has documented that Ellagic Acid is a very promising natural supplement, because it causes apoptosis (cell death) of cancer cells in lab tests, with no change to normal healthy cells. Dosage is a minimum of 1700mg daily. A complete list of cancers against which ellagic acid has shown effectiveness in either the laboratory or actual human tests:

Bromelain is believed to be an effective blood thinner and anti-inflammatory that works by breaking down fibrin, a blood-clotting protein that can impede good circulation and prevent tissues from draining properly. This makes it useful in removing excess tumor mass after the tumor has broken down. This is most useful when the tumor is near nerves which could become pinched when the extra mass of the broken down tumor starts to crowd the area.

Pancreatin
Daily, everyone produces malignant tumor cells and daily, most everyone's pancreas produces adequate pancreatin to digest the food they eat and the normally-developing malignant tumor cells.  It is when one's pancreas fails to produce the necessary pancreatin to accomplish these tasks that a disease process takes place which we correctly call cancer. When this disease process occurs, one is not aware of it.  It is so subtle it must progress for 2 to 4 years before one, or one's physician, realizes he or she is in trouble.  At first, the things one often complains about to his or her physician during this time are indigestion and weight loss.   Then, a few months later, excessive weight gain, eye trouble and often pyorrhea.   Eventually a large enough malignant tumor mass forms - which is the object the cancer victim and/or the physician sees and who, in error, calls cancer.  The malignant tumor masses are not cancer but malignant tumor masses.  The disease process, the failure of one's pancreas, we correctly call cancer. The object of correct treatment is to supply the body with adequate pancreatin to properly digest food, stop this disease process, and rid the body of any and all malignant tumor cells. Click here to read more. 12 caps daily of the following formula is the minimum recommendation.

IMMUNITION ImmZyme (pancreatin + bromelain), 200 caps, $34

Cancer cells contain a fibrin meshwork 13 to 15 times thicker than the fibrin meshwork surrounding normal cells. This fibrin mesh surrounding cancer cells is believed to play a key role in the ability of cancer cells to escape destruction by making it quite difficult for the killer lymphocytes, phagocyes and cytokines of the immune system to contact and destroy cancer cells. As we age our ability to manufacture enzymes steadily diminishes. The key enzyme component in an effective enzyme preparation is chymotrypsin or serrapeptase both of which increase the body's ability to produce more enzymes. Vitalzym is excellent against malignancies because of the widespread reports of good results using the the enzyme serrapeptase which is found in Vitalzym. The dose can begin with 3 tablets three times daily on an empty stomach. This dose should be steadily raised at regular intervals if no improvement is seen. Enzymatic digestion of this fibrin mesh is an important part of cancer therapy. The processing of dead cancer cells is also expedited by the digestion of tissue fragments caused by enzyme therapy.

vitamin D
 "Two equally effective sources of vitamin D in humans are derived from plant ergosterol, which is converted to ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) and cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) by the action of sunlight on the skin. The body uses vitamin D3 for normal immune system function, to control cellular growth, and to absorb calcium from the digestive tract. Vitamin D3 can inhibit the growth of malignant melanoma, breast cancer, leukemia, and mammary tumors in laboratory animals. Vitamin D3 can also inhibit angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels that permit the spread of cancer cells through the body."
quoted from book- Permanent Remissions by Robert Hass, M.S.

"Sun-starved females are at great risk for breast cancer, particularly women living in northern latitudes where wintertime sun exposure produces little vitamin D because of a decline in UV radiation in solar light. Dietary supplements are strongly recommended. Warnings that adults can overdose on vitamin D with daily oral doses exceeding 2,000 units are ill founded. Vitamin D's ability to inhibit breast cancer cell growth is enhanced by resveratrol, a red wine molecule. Resveratrol increases the vitamin D receptor sites on cells which sensitize the cells to vitamin D. George's Hospital Medical School in London finds local production of vitamin D in breast tissue reduces the risk for breast cancer. For women with low breast tissue levels of vitamin D the risk for breast cancer rose by 354%! [Anticancer Research 26: 2573-80, 2006] This study suggests women sunbathe with breast tissue exposed to the sun to enhance local vitamin D production. The provision of 400 IU of vitamin D per day has been found to reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer by 43%."
quoted from book- You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore by Bill Sardi

"Laboratory experiments show that vitamin D can inhibit the growth of human prostate cancer and breast cancer cells. Lung cancer and pancreatic cancer cells may also be susceptible to the effects of vitamin D. Sunlight also seems to be protective against several types of cancer, including ovarian and breast cancers, and this effect may be mediated by vitamin D levels."
quoted from book- The New Encyclopedia of Vitamins, Minerals, Supplements and Herbs by Nicola Reavley

"A clinical trial of Vitamin D provided encouraging results. Patients with locally advanced breast cancer were given a highly active Vitamin D analogue cream to rub on their tumors. "It was effective in one third of the tumors," said Professor Charles Coombes, clinical oncologist, Charing Cross Hospital, London."
quoted from book- Bartram's Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine: The Definitive Guide by Thomas Bartram

"Your skin can manufacture its own D with roughly 15 minutes of sun exposure three or four days a week. If you shun the sun, you should be getting a minimum of 700 IU of vitamin D3 a day; 1,000 IU daily might be even better."
quoted from book- Best Choices From the People's Pharmacy by Joe Graedon, M.S. and Teresa Graedon, Ph.D.
