A non-exhaustive list of therapies & TESTS

with which I am familiar 


Disclaimer: I AM NOT listing these therapies here as a sign of endorsement or a recommendation but as a resource & starting point for your own research. Please do your own due-diligence on any therapies, tests and supplements. 

And please do seek the help of a qualified practitioner. 

Below I aimed to list links to pages that offer independent information providers whose websites are not motivated by commercial gain. For some I could not locate any quality links to independent sites and had to list a link to a commercial sites. Please exercise EXTRA CAUTION and common sense.

Always try to locate as many different qualified opinions, if possible underpinned by independently verified studies, before you decide to spend time and/or money on a product or a therapy. Every single product and therapy has side effects, especially herbal products. And every single therapy, however innocent and 'natural' it may seem to you, can interact with traditional medicine and drugs.(1) ​

  • AHCC Active Hexose Correlated Compounds - see > AHCC-Research (NOT an independent page - the organisation behind this page is charged with promoting the use of AHCC)
  • Alkalising protocols (various, also 'PH restoring' protocols) - see below under > Bicarbonate protocol or under > PH
  • Alvizatos therapy (originally devised by a Greek doctor, hence also called "Greek Cancer Cure"). Nowadays this therapy sometimes consists of IV mega doses of vitamins, minerals and amino acids whereas other proponents appear to offer serum containing "brown sugar". Caution: cancer cells have a profuse appetite for sugar. So different clinics appear to offer 'serum' made from different substances. See here for a critical review of the original "Greek Cancer Cure" as devised by Dr. Hariton Tsannis Alvizatos
  • AMAS test - for info see here 
  • Ann Wigmore protocol > see under 'chlorophyll' below

And here are a few website links to read up on it: CancerTutor, another page from Cancer Tutor on this subject, and the message board on this subject from the CancerCompass website
  • Bioresonance therapy - see here
  • Bovine Colostrum - how it works
  • Calorie restriction / intermittent fasting - You'll find hundreds of informative websites under these search terms: Calorie Restriction or CR; CRON (Calorie Restriction Optimum Nutrition); CRAN (C.R. Adequate Nutrition). Here are a few websites as a starting point: for definition here; a few websites here, here and here. If you are an active cancer patient it is strongly recommended you do NOT lose weight beyond your ideal weight AND you maintain adequate muscle mass; CR, if not properly practised, will result in weightloss which is a risk factor for cancer patients.
  • Cancell (also Cantron or Protocel, or 'Sheridan formula') - more info here
  • Cannabinoids - see here for a website aligned with complementary practices, see here for a list of evidence and research on the subject, and here for a website aligned with traditional medical practice. Note: there are countless websites that offer information, you should always double check if a commercial interest is involved. Also note that if you intended to buy, different quality products exist in the US and in the Netherlands for example. In Europe (in Holland for example) to comply with drug legislation, the ingredient which is generally considered to offer the greater benefit has been removed, as it is also the one that induces the psychoactive changes, whereas some manufacturers in the US and Canada offer the product with those ingredients intact. 
  • Cansema (also called "black salves")
  • Cesium

  • D-Limonene - more info here, more info on the family of monoterpenes here
  • Dtosin - sells itself as a "a frequency enhanced water elixir that carries a set of vibrational messages to cells in your body. Cells communicate via vibrational energetic frequencies. These messages are a set of instructions to compromised cells, specifically turning on the processes that cause apoptosis (natural cell death) of those cells". I have never tried it and I have yet to see any kind of evidence or positive patient feedback for this product.

  • Enemas (coffee and other)
  • Epican Forte - more info here (this website is not independent)

  • Herbal therapies - there are obviously too many herbs to list here. Caution is warranted as to potential side-effects and interactions. Consult a qualified herbalist before using any herbal products, especially those combining 2 or more herbs. Where traditional chinese medicine products are used, where combinations of 8 or more products are common, a qualified herbalist should ask you for your list of medications/drugs in order to check potential interactions for EVERY SINGLE HERB used in the products they will prescribe you. If your herbalist does not ask for a list of your drugs & medicines, you ought to either seek out a different herbalist, or seek additional advice from another qualified herbalist who will screen the products given to you and ensure none of them interfere with the actions of your medication

Consult a qualified practitioner for advice

  • Laser light therapy
  • Live cell therapy (also xenotransplant therapy) - for info see here and for cautions here
  • Liver support & detoxification - I can't point you to a single link here because liver support should be an individual approach - it should be designed individually to suit each patient specifically. But there are some very important take-home-messages - here they are: 
    ​1) your liver is your body's main detoxification organ and it should not be overloaded by unnecessary or even unhelpful 'detoxification' procedures. Remember that any product however natural that is NOT meant to be in your body will be regarded as a foreign substance which most likely will have to be 'detoxified' by your liver in a complex process of chemical reactions. Your liver also deals with all your other toxins - everyday chemicals from your cosmetics, environmental toxins, pesticides, air fresheners, fabric softeners, cleaning products etc etc. Your liver is ALREADY overloaded: think twice before adding a 'herbal detox mix' to the load. In my opinion liver detox shoul be in the first degree a process of elimination of as many sources of toxicity and inflammation as possible, and in 2nd degree, supplementation with a few targeted proven effective substrates, as few as possible.
    2) any product you choose to use should be run past your own practitioner who knows your full medical and personal histories, and also very importantly will be able to check your chosen supplements against any potential interactions with any drugs / medication you might be taking or chemo or other drugs you may have taken in the last 6-12 months (as these can linger for a long time in your system).
    3) I would expressly warn you against taking a quick-fix remedy thrown together by a highstreet herbal practitioner IF THAT PRACTITIONER IS NOT TAKING THE TIME TO CHECK ALL ITS INGREDIENTS AGAINST YOUR MEDICATIONS AND OTHER SUPPLEMENTS. I have seen patients who were "prescribed" a herbal "detox mix" which contained 21 different herbs. Any herbalist worth their salt will check any herbal products against all other drugs and supplements taken by any given patient. That is what "prescribed" means. So if a practitioner is willing to simply hand you a product without any further questions or checks, they are not a safe practitioner. Remember: anything can interact with anything else.

  • Supplementation: which products are best for you, in other words: which products are the most effective whilst being the least expensive? I use a great variety of different supplements depending on the nature of your condition. I am familiar with a great number of different products from over 150 different manufacturers. Not every supplement does what it should or provides what it says on the label. The absorption or bioavailability of some products - even some very popular products! - is poor and you would waste your money buying those. Often more effective alternatives exist at the same or a lesser cost

One well-known example of apparently 'innocent' food causing dangerous interactions with drugs is Grapefruit and and Pomegrenate fruit, and their juices, which contain a substance called naringenin which decreases the rate of elimination of drugs through the liver (a pathway called cytochrome P450). This decrease in excretion results in a massive increase of the time any affected drugs spend in your bloodstream, which could effectively lead to an overdose.
