LIVING AFTER CANCER

I just read the Parade insert in the Dallas Morning News while I was visiting Dallas on Monday, 6/21/10. It featured an article “Living After Cancer”, and it dealt with the side-effects of conventional cancer therapy and how they affected post-treatment life. All of this is very alien to those of us who have gone through IPT (IPTLD), as there are little or no side-effects with this kind, gentle, yet effective targeted lowdose chemotherapy.

Just in case you are unfamiliar, too, here is some information on the side-effects they reported.
• Fatigue: can persist in survivors for years
• Pain: neuropathic pain can be caused by some forms of chemotherapy. Radiation and surgery may also leave the patient with scar tissue, leading to painful tightening of the skin’s surface or internal adhesions.
• Cognitive impairment: A most common complaint during and after treatment is “chemo brain”.
• Infertility and sexual dysfunction: Cancer treatment can leave many patients infertile or reporting sexual dysfunction.
• Depression and anxiety: “cancer may leave your body, but it never leaves your mind”.
• Other cancers: 25% of survivors end up having multiple cancers, entirely different cancers from the original. To me, this makes perfect sense when you consider that conventional therapy (surgery, chemo, radiation) has been proven to:
o Weaken the immune system
o Damage vital body organs
o Destroy the P53 tumor-suppressor gene
o Stimulate the cancer
o Cause the cancer to build immunities against the treatments
After all of that, how could the body and the immune system prevent cancer from returning in as many ways as possible?

That is what Best Answer for Cancer is all about: getting the information out about different options that patients have for their care. We believe the best answer for cancer is A solid holistic and integrated platform of healing and strengthening components (mind/body, spirituality, diet/nutrition, detox, immune system boosting, lifestyle and exercise) that supports and strengthens the patient’s body to further increase the effectiveness of a targeted cancer therapy. Our targeted therapy of choice is Insulin Potentiation Targeted LowDose Therapy (IPTLD).

Lori speaks about her first IPT/IPTLD treatment

Dear Friends,
I just wanted to thank you all for praying for me last week and let you know it went awesome!
I absolutely love my new dr. and I am very excited about the comprehensive plan that he has put together for me.
I had my first IPT treatment on Thursday and it went great. It is an interesting process - they gave me insulin to drop my blood sugar way down and when it got to 34, they cranked in the low dose chemo drugs and made me eat and drink right away. I felt a little light headed and hot, but the dr.
stayed with me the whole time and made sure I was ok and after about an hour I felt great. I have been on pain medication around the clock for the last couple of weeks and I was actually able to skip it entirely that afternoon because I felt so good, and since then I’ve only been taking about half as much. That is remarkable to me after just one treatment!

What is the Best Answer for Cancer?

The Elka Best Foundation has recently been renamed the Best Answer for Cancer™ Foundation. What do we mean by the best answer for cancer? We at the Foundation believe that the best answer for cancer is: An integrated holistic program of healing modalities that supports and strengthens the body and the immune system. This platform in turn supports a targeted cancer therapy: our targeted therapy of choice is

Daniel Hauser is “THE BRAVE”, But he does not live in “THE LAND OF THE FREE”

Daniel’s story is truly an outrage. Here is a family committed to a form of treatment for cancer, and they are being ordered by the Government to do a treatment that they consider harmful and dangerous! What should be an issue that the family decided and acted on together has now become a nationwide manhunt for a mother and her child.

The righteous say that the life of the 13-year-old son is at stake. The family, including the 13-year-old, say that his life is at stake if he does conventional chemo. So who is right?

Is it really who is right, or is it who has the right? Usually, a child is governed and guided by his parents, unless it is determined that the parents are harming the child. In this case, the government and the conventional medical community seem to feel that the parents would be harming the child by not giving him conventional chemo. However, the child is in agreement with his parents that he does not want conventional chemo.

Daniel has decided that he does not want to undergo the ravages of conventional chemo - to his body and his quality-of-life. It has been proven that conventional chemo damages the vital body organs, the immune system, the P53 tumor suppressor gene, and distorts the DNA of healthy cells.

Just because conventional chemo is conventional wisdom does not mean it is the only wisdom. All alternatives are not quackery. Webster’s says that an alternative is ‘offering a choice; different from the usual’. There are many solid and viable alternative cancer therapies; many of them are not part of mainstream medicine because they do not represent a big enough return for the pharmaceutical companies or the scientific institutions to go through the financial investment to test them. Insulin Potentiation Targeted LowDose (IPTLD™) is one of them. www.IPTLD.com.  IPTLD™ is still considered “experimental”, even though it has been used successfully on cancer and chronic disease since 1946! Yes, this targeted therapy, which uses FDA-approved drugs, is an “alternative therapy” because the pharmaceutical companies won’t invest the money to properly test it.

Many people feel forced to take conventional chemo instead of IPTLD™, because that is all their insurance will cover (insurance won’t cover experimental therapies). Daniel Hauser is truly being forced against his will to take conventional, even though he would prefer the option of a targeted therapy which would be tough on the cancer but gentle to him. Would it make sense to you to be forced to do something that you knew would be harmful and painful, when you could do something that would let you continue to lead a fairly normal life – looking good and feeling good, while the cancer died?

What happened to The Land of the Free? Why shouldn’t Daniel Hauser be able to decide how he wants to live and/or how he wants to die?
