Would you try to open a locked doorknob with a massive pipewrench?
You could crank the knob breaking a big hole in the door to gain entry.
Wouldn't it be easier to use a key, or at least find the right combination of tiny tumblers with a lock pick?
Cancer treatment could be like that. Rather than continuing to bludgeon the body with massive cellular DNA damage, if we employ the right combinations of phytochemicals - seesawing ROS levels, epigenetic compensation, and hormetic stimulation then we open the door with a minimum of energy ...using brains instead of brawn.
A drawback with many nutritional supplements, is they follow the lead of traditional drug models: "achieve maximum dosage with minimum acceptable toxicity". "EGCG" supplements are advertised instead of whole plant Green Tea. Ellagic Acid instead of focusing on the best pomegranate, cranberry, etc.
I am not denying the need for intense therapy, especially in out-of-control or hard-to-resolve situations. However, I am gathering here on this page, links to studies that highlight the synergistic effects of compounds present at effective levels in whole foods / whole plants. In many cases we lose benefits when we distort the ratios present in the original foods. Those plants were designed better the way they were ...instead of "maxing out" a specific component it may be more valuable to obtain lower concentrations of a pure plant supply and coordinate/alternate the sequence of usage properly with other supplements and with rhythms of fasting, growth, excercise, and recovery.
Do not omit proper rest and laughter - I could gather scientific evidence that for some "resistant cancers" fasting, followed by drinking green and burdock tea while munching on raw apples and broccoli sprinkled with curcumin, playing with children, and snuggling with a pet could have greater success than $20,000 of chemo infusions.
