Email UsAt Synergy Healthcare we believe that although many cancers are associated with a genetic predisposition, there are many environmental and nutritional factors that increase the risk of developing cancers.
Below is a brief summary of what we believe are contributory factors in the development of cancer in our “Modern World”.
Heavy Metals:
Mercury: found in amalgam fillings, vaccines, sea fish, especially tuna, sea bass.
Lead: found in air (pollution) old water pipes, burning off paints (old lead parts.)
Arsenic: found in fungicides, wood protectors, fire retardant, cigarettes.
Chemicals: (manmade)
Parabens: found in false tans, suntan lotions, shampoos, soaps, deodorants
Phthalates: found in food (leached in from from plasticisers e.g. plastic wrapping), found in water (bottled water from plastic bottles)
Environmental Radiation:
Nuclear accidents, weapons that have been detonated.
Electromagnetic Radiation:
Overhead pylons
Microwave Radiation:
e.g. from mobile phones
Our water supplies:
Organo-chlorides from bleach and chlorine in water and many other chemical pollutants mainly found in water.
Over 300 manmade chemicals are typically found in the umbilical cord of a new born baby – check www.wwf.org.uk. One third of these are known to be carcinogenic (cancer causing). Safety levels are set singularly and are often set by the companies who manufacture these chemicals. There are no safe levels that account for interaction between these chemicals. There is a strong possibility that when these cancer causing chemicals interact the effect may well be to multiply the carcinogenic effect.
Dr Finbar Magee has been treating Cancer patients at Synergy Healthcare for over 10 years and has developed a treatment program to address these possible causes:
- To remove sources of toxins and cancer causing agents
- To help the body and in particular the liver in their detoxification processes
- To reduce/neutralize cancer causing free radicals
- To strengthen the Immune System by enhancing white cell function (this is of particular benefit if the patient is also undergoing chemotherapy which tends to suppress the Immune System).
- To increase the body’s ability to fight cancer by increasing T killer cell function and efficiency. (T killer cells are normally present in the body and attack cancer cells)
- Inhibit the proliferation of the blood supply to the cancerous tumours.
- Increase the oxygen levels in the tissues (which cancer cells do not thrive in, as they tend to prefer low levels of oxygen in the tissues).
The Treatment Program:
(brief summary; for further details please contact clinic direct)
A Combination of Specific Minerals and Supplements
As prescribed by the doctors
Intravenous Treatments and Injections:
High dose intravenous Vitamin C
Achieves high tissue levels of vitamin C which have been shown to have direct cancer-killing and immune-stimulating properties. It also helps patients tolerate the effects of cancer and of chemotherapy.
Intravenous Ozone
Ozone therapy induces enzymes to help the body detoxify and increases the oxygen levels in the tissues.
Artesunate Injections
This is an extract of the herb ‘wormwood’ and has been found to be directly cytotoxic (cell killing) to a lot of cancer cell types
Chelation
Helps to remove heavy metals, helps increase white blood cell numbers and function and increases tissue oxygen levels (which cancer cells do not like):
Intravenous Infusions of Sodium Magnesium EDTA – may be given slowly over 3-4 hours
Calcium EDTA – which is a slower injection given over approximately 15 minutes.
DMPS – given by injection over 10-15 minutes.
These may be recommended in combination as directed by the doctor and for a period of 6-8 weeks.
Coffee Enemas
Recommended as they help the liver detoxification process by stimulating the excretion of toxins.
Epsom Salt Baths
Have been shown to increase sulphation in the body’s cells which helps the liver detoxification process. Available at www.epsomsalt.co.uk.
Infra Red Sauna
This helps body to excrete toxic chemicals and heavy metals through the skin. It has the added benefit that when the body is heated the immune system works more strongly at attacking cancer cells – this process is called HYPERTHERMIA and has been used as cancer therapy since the 1920s. Available at www.firzone.co.uk or www.aqualinesaunas.co.uk
Anti Cancer Diet
- 1) EAT ORGANIC PRODUCTS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE – to avoid introducing unnatural and suspected cancer causing chemicals to the body.
- 2) ELIMINATE DAIRY PRODUCTS – they have been found to increase hormone dependent cancers. Most cancers have a hormonal component (check internet for Professor Jane Plant).
- 3) AVOID SUGAR – hinders the function of the immune system and stimulates the growth of bad bacteria/flora in the bowel.
- 4) EAT RAW FOOD AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE – as enzymes, vitamins and essential fatty acids are destroyed by cooking. Eating raw foods greatly improves the nutritional content and hence the positive effects of those in the body.
- 5) WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND INVESTING IN A GOOD JUICER
e.g. Matsone Juicers or Greenstar Juicers. Available at www.energiseforlife.com
We recommend 4 glasses (200ml) of vegetable juice per day and 1 small shot of wheatgrass juice.
For a good source of information on diets we highly recommend visiting:- The Hippocrates Institute website at www.hippocratesinst.org
It is important to know the initial stage of the cancer before the treatment i.e. the extent of the tumour/cancer as diagnosed by blood counts, tumour markers in blood/urine, x-rays, scans and clinical symptoms.
This is an intense program which we recommend for at least 8 weeks.
Blood Tests are done on initial consultation and will need repeated as recommended by the doctors – typically at 3-4 weeks and at 7-8 weeks.
Supplements may be modified according to the results of tests or how they are tolerated.
A recent development from a laboratory based in Greece, tests for a range of naturopathic remedies, as well as chemo drugs, to see if they can cause the death of cancer cells or slow rate of duplication. Information of this test is available at reception.
After 8 weeks a review with the doctor is recommended to check results to see if the patient is improving. If cancer is regressing the treatment program is modified and continued at a less intense level for a further 8 weeks when the cancer is reassessed again.
Baseline supplements would be recommended for long term use.
Please note that our Cancer Treatment Program is continually updated according to new research and developments in the science/medical world.
