Chapter One A Search For An Alternative Treatment Against Cancer I n 2008, approximately 1.5 million people in the United States were diagnosed with cancer, as estimated by the American Cancer Society. That’s about one in every 200 peo- ple in America! And in the same year, almost 500,000 Ameri- cans lost their battle against cancer. Causing about 1,500 deaths a day, cancer is considered one of the most alarming health problems in the country. It is the second most common cause of mortality in the U.S., following heart disease. The notoriety of cancer does not stop there. The number of diagnosed cancer cases and cancer deaths is just as preva- lent in other countries. It gets worse at times, most par- ticularly in the developing countries where health care, and cancer treatment and management are insufficient or lacking. Without a doubt, cancer may be appropriately classified as a worldwide epidemic, with 12 million new cases of cancer in 2007. Collected data from developing and developed countries revealed that a total of 7.6 million deaths were directly as- sociated to this fatal disease, accounting for one out of eight deaths annually. It is estimated that 20,000 people from all around the globe die of cancer every day. Cancer is the second leading cause of mortality worldwide, with a total number of deaths exceeding the combined numbers of mortalities caused by AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. Certainly, the continuous occurrence of cancer has left many people anxious and fearful of their own vulnerability to this disease. Based on these statistics, one realizes that How to Stop Cancer indeed, the possibility of having cancer is real. It is happening in the real world, tormenting real people and their family and friends. Anyone can develop cancer. This fatal disease can choose anyone and isn’t that selective. Most people have had a family member or a friend who has been diagnosed with some form of cancer. If this has hap- pened in your life, you probably know how devastating and disruptive the side effects can be from the traditional cancer treatments. You have probably thought that the treatment modalities seem to cause greater pain and suffering than the cancer itself. Individuals who were informed of their cancer for the first time or who have been identified with a relapse, not only fear dying but confronting the sometimes agonizing and torturing effects of chemotherapy. Radiation and chemotherapy are a difficult challenge even for the healthiest person. Just imagine the magnitude of the effects of these therapies on someone whose body has al- ready been drained and battered by cancer. Therefore, it is not surprising that many cancer patients end up sicker and further debilitated from the treatments themselves. In addi- tion to radiation and chemotherapy, there are also surgeries and other medications, which present a whole host of other risks. Battling cancer has never been easy. Choosing to undergo any of the available therapies is a risk that one may have to take. There is no guarantee that you can successfully and per- manently beat cancer. Currently, the five-year survival rate for all types of cancers is approximately 62%, which has signifi- cantly improved since the 1970s where the five-year survival rate was estimated at 50%. This suggests that the advance- ment of radiation and chemotherapy have improved and are actually successful at killing all the cancer cells in the body. Cancer patients who have been treated and brought into remission consider the pain and side effects of the treatments “worth it.” They are more than grateful just to be alive and  Chapter One: A Search for an Alternate Treatment Against Cancer are far less concerned about what they went through. The fact that they may be bald and have spent the last few months or years tired, nauseated, anemic, depressed and afflicted by stomach ailments seems irrelevant when they find out that they are cancer-free. They would go through the pain and the suffering all over again just to live long enough to reach old age. Unfortunately, not all people respond favorably to the treatments which are traditionally prescribed by doctors. Though there has been significant improvement in the success rates of chemotherapy (as high as 75% in some cancer types reported and documented by various research), there is no assurance that people who have successfully beaten the can- cer for the first time stay in remission. And, what happened to the other 38% of the afflicted population who have lost their lives to cancer? Was there any available therapy that could have possibly saved them? To the American Cancer Society, cancer remission is defined as the period of time when cancer cells favorably and consistently respond to the prescribed conventional treat- ments. Complete or partial relief from the signs and symptoms of cancer can be achieved. However, without any warning sign or an initiating event, cancer may strike again at any given time. Success rates of chemotherapy is not solely based on achieving remission, but on how long you are able to stay cancer-free throughout life. The cancer patients who have lost their long battle against cancer, who have had repeatedly failed therapies, and have totally given up hope are the inspiration for this book. As someone who lost a mother to cancer, I understand the tumultuous thoughts and the feelings of helplessness that go through every cancer patient’s mind. What else can they do to help their bodies fight cancer? Will they ever survive and live a good quality of life without being a burden to their family?  How to Stop Cancer This book offers an alternative course for cancer patients who are in despair and have given up hope because of repeated failed cancer treatments. It is also for people who are cur- rently cancer-free but are troubled with the possibility of a relapse. This book is good reading for cancer patients who are currently in therapy, in remission, or in relapse and who want to surpass the survival rates based on their cancer types. It is also for those who are curious and serious enough to learn about another possible treatment option that they can avail themselves of before, during or after traditional therapies without going through the painful side effects of the tradition- al therapies. For people searching for answers, this book mainly focuses on the potential and likely effectiveness of the proposed alter- native cancer treatment through controlled uptake of glucose, the body’s main energy source along with optimum utilization of ketones. This approach has been successfully used by many but has never been formally tested in clinical trials due to lack of funding. Read on to get an explanation and gain insight into the science behind the transformation of your body into an environment where aggressive cancer cells cannot possibly survive. This book outlines how the process works and the scientific testing that has been done so far to support the effectiveness of the process. With relatively simple measures and far fewer side effects than traditional treatments, the therapy outlined here has a great potential for helping many people fight against any type of cancer.
