Determining if you have stage IV cancer
A person has STAGE IV (ADVANCED/METASTATIC) cancer if . . .
He or she has any of the following criteria:
Metastasized cancer. Cancer cells travel (via the
bloodstream or lymphatic system) from their primary site to a distant location,
to develop a secondary malignant growth / tumor. E.g. to
the bones, lymph nodes, lungs, liver, pancreas or brain;
Any type of bone cancer
A fast-growing / high fatality
cancer. E.g. lung cancer, pancreatic
cancer, multiple myeloma, squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma;
Has been treated with extensive chemotherapy and/or
radiation therapy
A swelling or inflammation of a tumor could cause a
blockage of key fluids
E.g. Lung Cancer
Has an estimated one year or less to live
Orthodox medicine rates the cancer as Stage IV
A person with advanced
cancer who has undergone a failed orthodox medical treatment has fewer treatment
options
But can still have a true A person who has undergone mainstream medical treatment is
likely to be facing some major, but not necessarily insurmountable challenges:
Their immune system has been virtually destroyed.
A consequence of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery.
Their body is
overloaded with fungus, and other microbes. Their weakened immune systemhas
difficulty eliminating microbes and their body is
overly
acidic;
Their cancer is stronger than ever.
The cancer
cells have developed a resistance to chemotherapy, called Multiple
Drug-Resistant cancer cells. These MDR cells are one of the main reasons cancer
patients in regression have such a high fatality rate;
At least one major
organ (usually the liver)
has been severely damaged;
Numerous non-cancerous healthy cells have been killed or
damaged. Chemotherapy does not target cancer cells; cancer cells have
stolen nutrients and glucose from the formerly healthy cells;
Their bone mass and muscle mass may have been depleted.
Cancer cells consume a lot of glucose (common in cachexia
patients);
Their cells are acidic.
Acidity is what helped cause the cancer to
thrive in the first place and makes person susceptible to getting cancer again
(i.e. regression);
Their digestive tract is probably severely damaged
and cannot absorb nutrients;
They may be in extreme pain and possibly have lost the
will to live.
VERY significant factors.
3 major considerations must be addressed in choosing a treatment method for a
person with advanced cancer
Killing cancer cells is not difficult, but to kill them timely and safely,
consideration must be given to the following issues:
(1)
Treatment can not depend
on the GRADUAL build-up of the immune system. Since, it takes time to build the immune
system, and time is a luxury that someone with stage IV cancer does not have.
(2)
Inflammation/Swelling
and congestion (in lung cancer). C an be very dangerous for certain
types of cancer (E.g. inflammation/swelling in lung,
brain and GI tract cancers),
and in certain cases.
(3) Getting rid of the debris
from dead cancer cells and broken-up DNA places a great burden on what is left
of the body's immune system.
T his requires that the treatment be "paced" to
allow the body time to eliminate the waste .
It is interesting to note:
Orthodox cancer
treatments must be "paced" because of the HEALTHY CELLS they damage or
destroy
"STAGE IV"
alternative cancer treatments must be "paced" because of DEAD CANCER CELL
debris they produce
Only about a dozen alternative treatments are potent enough to give advanced
cancer patients a true 50% chance of survival, especially after chemo and radiation.
