Cancer and Biological Terrain

Our internal biological terrain determines the environment upon which cancer cells grow. An acidic environment is pro-cancer, while an alkaline environment is anti-cancer. The terrain is also influenced by the amount of friendly bacteria present and the transit time of  food through the gut. Maintaining a healthy alkaline biological terrain is an important component of any cancer therapy program.

Ways to Balance Internal Terrain

1. Pancreatic enzymes.  A modern day diet high in fat and sugar is devoid of most enzymes. Furthermore, a high protein diet common in the developed world consumes most enzymes secreted by our pancreas, leaving little left over for anticancer activity. A heavy dose of proteolytic pancreatic enzyme is an important part of part of any comprehensive anti-cancer program. These enzymes:

• Attack the coating on tumor cells which disguise them from recognition by the immune system to that the antigens are exposed.

• Digest the protein coating that protects cancer cells from being destroyed by our immune system.

• Stimulates various components of the immune system such as Natural Killer cells, T-cells and Tumor Necrosis factor.

• Remove the "sticky" coating on cancer cells that allow them to adhere to other parts of the body, in effect, lessening the chances of metastases.

• Enter cancer cells during their reproductive phase when they are not yet formed and destroy them. Vitamin A increases this effect. In Germany, it is injected directly into tumors causing them to dissolve.

• Help ensure that large, potential allergy-triggering food particles do not enter the blood circulation through a leaky gut.

• Reduce the acidity of the internal terrain.


Dose: Start with 1 tablet 3-4 times a day, increasing gradually every 5 days by one till 5 tablets 4 times a day is reached. Total: 15-20 tablets a day.
