Curcumin, indole-3-carbinol, and hesperidin are three of the naturally occurring plant extracts that target and kill cancer stem cells.

This represents a major advance in cancer therapy, giving real hope to patients with advanced cancers, for whom traditional treatments have failed.

I have known a number of people with advanced, Stage IV cancers who have survived long after oncologists told them they would die.

So I have witnessed the benefit of these new treatments myself — they are not theoretical.

One of the most dramatic improvements I have witnessed was a wonderful lady who came to my office suffering from widely metastatic breast cancer.

She was overweight, and had to walk with a cane and help from her husband. She was in terrible pain and extremely weak. She truly looked like death was near.

Her oncologist had told her he’d done all he could do with traditional treatments, and that she should go home and enjoy what life she had left — which the doctor estimated would be no more than a month.

I told the woman and her husband that I would do what I could. I put her on a special diet, very low in carbohydrates and high in anticancer vegetables. I also put her on a number of anticancer plant extracts, such as curcumin and quercetin.

Unfortunately, I didn’t know then what I know now about dosages and how to improve absorption of the flavonoids.

Yet in a very short time the woman made a dramatic improvement. Her pain went away, she lost her excess weight, she no longer needed help walking, and she laughed and smiled constantly, overjoyed at her improvement. She was full of energy. It was a miracle from God.

We had her scanned for evidence of metastatic tumors. Her lungs were completely clear, and though one or two tumors persisted in her bones, they were quite small. Before she had started the program with me, her lungs and bones were full of tumors.

She told me she had so much energy and felt so good that for the first time in many months she was able to go shopping with her daughter. She also began to do volunteer work at her daughter’s school.

At the same time, she was also being treated by her cancer surgeon, who wanted her to see a researcher who was working on an innovative treatment that required severe depletion of her iron levels and use of some high-powered traditional chemotherapy.

Unfortunately, it was too much for her immune system and her cancer recurred and she died soon afterward.

But she had lived for more than a year after she was told she would die in a month, and she remained in excellent health until almost the end. My wife and I were heartbroken by her death.

I now know that the best course would have been using the natural compounds and diet alone, but in much higher doses and in forms that would have been better absorbed.

In addition, I now know there are more of these natural anticancer compounds available.

They say that experience is the memory of your last disaster. After that experience, I immersed myself in the study of cancer and concentrated on how to treat it naturally.
