Successful therapies against cancer will result in the death of tumor cells.  These dead tumor cells are highly toxic and must be removed by the body.  It is possible that toxicity from the death of many tumor cells, as can happen in chemotherapy or other therapy, can kill a cancer patient if the dead tumor cells are not detoxed. 

The following ideas describe possible ideas to detox.  If a cancer patient is getting headaches, nausea, chills, fever and other symptoms that often relate to inability to detox efficiently, then the following ideas describe methods that may help detox. 

1.      Consider supplementing CoQ10.  It can increase the efficiency of the heart, boost immune function, increase energy in the body, and many more benefits.  The different abilities of CoQ10 can enhance detox function.  For example, CoQ10 can help increase blood volume.  Red blood cells carry away detoxed substances.  Increasing the volume of blood can enhance the rapid elimination of toxins and other waste via red blood cells.

2.      Consider supplementing Olive Leaf extract.  Viruses are being connected more and more to different cancers.  Additionally, there are two systems of immune function, called the T helper 1 and T helper 2 systems.  The T helper 1 system deals with virus, bacteria, cancer cells, and other organisms.  If a person is susceptible to viral infection, bacterial infection, and cancer cells, this may be an indicator of a weak T helper 1 system.  Olive Leaf has been shown to be antiviral and antibacterial.  This can help strengthen the T helper 1 system.  Strengthening the T helper 1 system can help fight against cancer cells.  Additionally Olive Leaf can help fight against virus cells.  This may help fight against cancers that have connections to some viruses.

3.      Consider supplementing TMG.  TMG helps promote methylation.  Methylation is an important chemical process in the body that can involve proper metabolism of methionine and cysteine.  These two amino acids are important for detox.

4.      Consider supplementing ion-exchange whey protein powder.  Whey has been shown in some studies to boost immune function 500%.  It also supplies 98% of essential amino acids.  Amino acids are a primary method to detox the body.  Whey can supply the necessary amino acids for detox.

5.      Consider supplementing silymarin, from milk thistle.  Silymarin helps improve liver function.  The liver is the main organ of detox.

6.      Consider drinking 8-12 glasses of distilled water.  Water is a primary method of detox in the body.  Water also helps support kidney function by diluting urine.   The proper amount of water decreases stress on the kidneys. The kidneys work with the liver to accomplish much of the detox of the body; thus water supports kidney function, which helps overall detox.  Your urine should be clear as water, to indicate you are getting the proper amount of water.

7.      Multiple bowel movements daily can help clear some of the toxic load your body must handle each day.  This can decrease stress and help free energy to detox.  Read the article on this web site called, “Overlooked Cure For Terminal Illness,” to read about vitamin C and bowel tolerance.  Using vitamin C, vitamin B-5 and magnesium are supplements that can help you have multiple bowel movements each day.  Orthomolecular doses of vitamin B-5 can be 1 gram daily, in divided doses.  Orthomolecular doses of magnesium can be 1/2 gram to 1 gram daily, in divided doses.  The combination of B-5, magnesium, and vitamin C can make bowel movements occur frequently.  Vitamin C can accomplish bowel movements by itself, but a combination may make the stools more proper in size and not too soft.  Orthomolecular medicine is a system of medicine practiced by MD’s throughout the world.  It is a system of medicine using mainly natural substances, non-toxic, and safe in a wide range of dose. Herbs and minerals/vitamins are mainly used in orthomolecular medicine.

8.      Consider supplementing a B-50 each day, 2-3 times a day.  The B complex of vitamins is vital in detox of the cells.

9.      Consider supplementing lycopene.  This supplement helps to detox many toxic substances in the body.

10.  Consider supplementing the optimal antioxidants in optimal doses.  Vitamin C, vitamin E, glutathione, alpha lipoic acid, selenium, and pycnogenol are major antioxidants.  Antioxidants help support detox.  Pycnogenol may not be a primary antioxidant, but it seems to help the other primary antioxidants work better.  Read the article in the anti-aging section, called “Dr Bob’s Anti-aging Program,” item 15 to read more about optimal antioxidants and doses.

11.  Consider using bicarb whenever you get reactions or symptoms.  Bicarb helps to regulate acid balance in the body.  Antioxidants and other nutrients work better when there is proper acid-alkaline balance.  You can consider using 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda in distilled water for your bicarb.

12.  Consider drinking cat’s claw tea or supplementing it.  Cat’s claw can boost immunity tremendously.  Improving immune function supports detox. 

There are many other methods and ideas to help improve the detox system.  You need to consider detox methods when you are using therapies that are killing many cells in the body, such as chemotherapy.  The dead cells need to be eliminated rapidly, to prevent increasing toxicity.  Dead cells can be highly toxic and deadly.  They can result in death unless properly and rapidly eliminated.  Good luck. 

Note – In order for these nutritional ideas to be successful, you must use supplements of the highest quality. Dr. Bob often said, “almost all supplement companies produce poor quality.”  You can consider the product page of this web site. Almost all the products met Dr. Bob’s approval.  Since he passed away we have attempted to keep the same high standards.
