Treating cancer with just one injection? It may sound unbelievable, but an Indian medical institute is soon to start human trials to treat cancer in six weeks through a solitary injection dose.

‘It’s a single injection dose medicine to treat cancer. If everything goes fine, it will be a novel medical breakthrough,’ Kushagra Kataria, chief executive officer of Artemis Health Institute in Gurgaon, told IANS.

‘We are set to start human trials in May with a limited number of patients,’ said Kataria, a thoracic oncologist.

He said medical scientists will inject ‘oncolytic virus’ into the human body, which will target the cancer cells and treat patients with much precision and success. Subjects for this trial would be primarily patients suffering from lung, neck and cervical cancer.

Artemis, one of the leading tertiary care hospitals in India, will be conducting the trials in collaboration with Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Centre in New York.

Kataria said animal trials conducted in Britain had given encouraging results. ‘The drug has already been tested on mice with human cancer tumours. It has given optimistic results.’

In the current conventional therapy, cancer treatment affects healthy cells along with cancerous cells but in the new treatment, the medicine will not affect any other cells of the body other than the cancerous tumour and cells.

‘It will be targeted therapy,’ Kataria explained. ‘If everything goes well, we believe it will reduce all side effects of the conventional treatment.’
He added that right from finance to time, the treatment will be more human friendly.

While tens of thousands of people die every year due to cancer, India is home to nearly two million patients at any given period of time.

The Doctor Who Cures Cancer

Rick had a ten-inch tumour in his colon. Nothing he tried stopped the daily pain, bleeding or flatulence. All three cleared up after his first meal. His huge tumour eventually disappeared.

He started with the pepper bread. He had never felt better, at least not in many months. The fatigue and pain are gone….There is a definite positive difference from the pepper bread that no other food, supplement, or treatment gave him.

Chuck’s prostate cancer was discovered by a biopsy. He had a Gleason 6 (3+3). His prostate was a little larger than a baseball. After about 2-3 months, his prostate shrank down to the size of a lemon. Later still, the size went down to a walnut.His doctor performed another biopsy. No cancer was found at all. The pathologist was so surprised he wrote on the biopsy report, “Wow.” That might be the first time that word was ever written on a biopsy report.

Michael also had prostate cancer. Over time, his tumour shrank 55% based on his last report

A man had stomach cancer. He didn’t want to follow the recipe. But his severe stomach pains got the best of him, so he relented and gave it a try.He was scheduled for stomach surgery, so he was only able to follow the program for a week prior to the surgery. When the surgery was attempted, no cancer was found!

A woman named Kelly shared her results. She was very pleased and excited to inform that the (stabbing, knife piercing) pains in her right breast were completely gone, and so was the lump!

All the patients followed a simple recipe for the above miracles.

The Doctor Who Cures Cancer

Is sweetener deadly?

Every cell in our body uses glucose for energy.

We have been meeting our demands by getting fructose from fruits and vegetables. Fibre, vitamins, minerals, enzymes and beneficial phytonutrients help in moderating any negative metabolic effects of fructose in fruits and vegetables.

We have been using it for centuries without facing any ill effects on our health. Besides our consumption of fructose have never exceeded 15 gms per day.

Today, our consumption of fructose has touched almost 75 gms per day. Scientific studies reveal that high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is badly affecting our health in the following manner:
(i) Insulin resistance and obesity
(ii) Elevated blood pressure
(iii) Elevated triglycerides and elevated LDL
(iv) Cardiovascular disease, liver disease, cancer, arthritis and even gout.

There are two reasons for the excessive damage caused by fructose:
1. Entire burden of metabolizing fructose falls on your liver.
2. People are consuming fructose in enormous quantities, which has increased the negative effects

Food and beverage manufacturers began switching their sweeteners from sucrose (table sugar) to corn syrup in the 1970s when they discovered that HFCS was not only far cheaper to make, it’s about 20% sweeter than table sugar. Today, 55 percent of sweeteners used in food and beverage manufacturing are made from corn.

Still, this switch drastically altered the average American diet.
By USDA estimates, about one-quarter of the calories consumed by the average American is in the form of added sugars, and most of that is HFCS. The average Westerner consumes a staggering 142 pounds a year of sugar! And the very products most people rely on to lose weight – the low-fat diet foods – are often the ones highest in fructose.

Making matters worse, all of the fibre has been removed from these processed foods, so there is no nutritive value at all.

The bottom line is: fructose leads to increased belly fat, insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome – not to mention the long list of chronic diseases that directly result.
