Vital Strategies In Cancer

Importance of Peacefulness and Psychological Support:

• Dr. Roach underscores peacefulness in cancer treatment, informed by patient experiences and research on stress effects on cancer progression.

• Spiritual grounding is crucial post-diagnosis to mitigate suicide and heart attack risks.

• The power of the healer's positive energy and intention is vital during patient care.

• Relaxation techniques like Tai Chi and Qi Gong are highlighted for immune function improvement.

• Stress management is key to reducing tumor proliferation and metastasis.

• Spiritual connection and openness to transformative experiences, including near-death experiences, are encouraged.

Comprehensive and Personalized Care:

• Advocates a holistic approach encompassing life vision, spirituality, nutrition, exercise, sleep, and relationships.

• Reducing negative influences may include changing oncologists if necessary.

• Initial patient visits entail comprehensive blood work analysis to tailor care plans.

• Biopsies and estrogen reduction are timed strategically in premenopausal women to prevent metastasis.

• Cancer diagnosis positions as an opportunity for personal reinvention and growth.

• A proactive approach in managing side effects and enhancing treatment effectiveness with integrative methods.

• Monitoring and adjustment of vitamin and supplement levels are personalized.

• Utilization of P-glycoprotein inhibitors and testing for specific biomarkers like HER2/neu, beta 2 microglobulin, and estrone sulfate.

• Supplements like systemic enzymes, vitamin D, and turmeric are recommended for immune support.

Nutrition and Dietary Factors in Cancer Care:

• A vegetarian, diverse, organic, whole foods, non-GMO diet with healthy fats is recommended.

• Dairy, grains, and red meat are discouraged due to inflammatory properties and cancer correlation.

• Specific cancer-fighting foods, such as green tea, cruciferous vegetables, onions, garlic, and mushrooms, are encouraged.

• Emotional healing, including forgiveness, is integral to the care plan.

• Oxalate consumption moderation is advised, with an emphasis on vitamin B6 for metabolism.

• Practical fasting tips are offered, considering its benefits when coupled with chemotherapy.

Exercise, Sleep, and Lifestyle:

• Exercise, ideally vigorous walking for 45 minutes to an hour daily, is critical but warns against excessive inflammatory exercise.

• Sleep deficiency is linked to increased risks of aggressive cancers; supplements like P5P, melatonin, and inositol can be supportive.

• Precautions against steroids and EMFs are advised, with recommendations on reducing exposure.

Treatment Protocols and Lab Focus:

• Dr. Roach uses systemic enzymes for pancreatic cancer and monitors blood parameters to gauge tumor activity.

• Artemisia and mushrooms are utilized for liver metastases, with an emphasis on controlling inflammation and angiogenesis.

• Maintaining normal levels of clotting and inflammatory markers, specifically D dimer and fibrinogen, is key to managing metastatic risk.

Tumor and Metastasis Management:

• The necessity of large tumor removal is questioned, with a preference for debulking to reduce tumor marker diversity.

• Use of Neogenomics for tumor marker assessment is noted.

• Private doctor testing costs for specific treatments are mentioned.

Breast Cancer Treatment:

• Against breast implants post-mastectomy due to inflammation and scarring risks.

• Double mastectomies noted for increased metastasis risk.

• Managing estrogen dominance is highlighted for breast cancer treatment.

Cancer Stem Cells and Inflammatory Markers:

• Over 100 natural nutrients and botanicals, like green tea and turmeric, can target cancer stem cells.

• Leptin and adiponectin levels are monitored due to their role in inflammation and tumor promotion.

• Lovenox is mentioned for circulation benefits and anti-tumor properties.

Medication and Supplements:

• Use of propranolol for managing specific cancer biomarkers.

• Cautious use of B12, folate, and a multivitamin without copper or iron is advised.

• Specific products for cancer support and estrogen-related tumors are noted.

• Proactive approaches, akin to leading a dance or a chess game, are endorsed in cancer treatment.

Relaxation and Music Therapy:

• The therapeutic effects of music, with a preference for The Beatles, are advocated.

Botanicals and Supplements for Cancer:

• A selective approach to using botanicals and supplements is discussed, with specific mentions of Ashwagandha's use in ovarian and endometrial cancers but not in breast cancer.

Circulation and Coagulation Management:

• Recommendations for managing circulation and coagulation include fish oil, bromelain, and botanicals.

• Vitamin D intake is advised with vitamin K2 to avoid complications.
