We live in a very fast paced world where everything needs to be very efficient. Schedules are tight and the more patients a doctor can see per day the more revenue he earns from his praxis and pays for his very expensive machinery.

Unfortunately does this kind of fast track praxis leave some of the essential elements of true healing behind.

When we first started out to learn about holistic cancer healing we were astounded how much time these holistic doctors spend with their clients. Some take several visits with over 1 hour consultations as they drill down to find the cause of the disease. And YES they do not evaluate the symptom which is the cancer and give it names, they look what caused it, because if you do not remove the cause you will never have a chance to get better. 

If you go for a conventional consultation no one cares about the cause of cancer, they determine the type of cancer and then prescribe the according text book treatment. There is no need to check what caused it. That would take way too long and would be too much effort. And there is no money in that type of consultation either.

In this video series we have interviewed Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy and asked about all the elements your doctor should check in order to get you well.

Introduction.

Transcript:

If you go to a convention doctor, a conventionally trained Western doctor, he’s going to offer you
. . . surgery possibly, chemotherapy and or radiation.  That is the conventional treatment in the United States right now, is surgery, chemo and radiation.  And . . . we know now that we’re winning, that we’re losing the war on cancer.  And so, there have been many, many people, many experiences, and many discoveries on many other treatments for cancer. 

So I explain to patient, that cancer first of all, is a twelve year disease. From one cancer cell to tumor formation is about twelve years.  Now, once you get the tumor, a conventional doctor wants to remove the tumor.  They will a lot of times recommend chemotherapy and radiation.  But what we have to do is, we have to say “Why do you have cancer?”  The tumor is just a symptom of severe imbalances in the body.  So we have to now figure out, why do you have this tumor . . . discovered, in your body?   And so I tell the patient, “Look, there is an environment for cancer.  How does cancer survive in your body?  It’s something foreign.  It’s something that your body is supposed to recognize and say ‘You’re not supposed to be here.’, theoretically”.   But there is an environment, in your body, that’s predisposing you to cancer. 

So now we’ve got to analyze the pieces of the puzzle here, and say “Okay, what are the factors?”  There’s nutritional, there’s immunological, there’s energy factors, there may be teeth factors, there may be toxic factors, there may be mental, emotional and stressful factors.  That’s why the Father of Medicine, Hippocrates said, “Let’s treat the patient with the problem, not the problem of the patient.”

Your Blood

Transcript:

Let’s, let’s see what’s going on.  Let’s look at your blood work, for example.  Okay?  Let’s look at your natural killer cells.  Now your natural killer cells are your first line of defense to fight cancer.  So if you have poor natural killer cells, and their level is low and the function of them is low, then you’re not going to be able to fight the disease. You’re not going to be able to conquer this disease.  And we know that patients getting chemotherapy, if their natural killer cells are low, they are not going to win the war on their cancer.  So that’s just one thing.  Okay?  So we want to optimize your natural killer cells function. 

Now, if the body is very ill and sick and acidic and nutritionally deficient and inflammation galore, then you’re not going to have good natural killer cell function.  So let’s bring in the fact of inflammation.  There’s a simple little blood test called C Reactive Protein.  Now C Reactive Protein is a marker for inflammation.  If that level is elevated, that means that there is significant unrest in the body, there’s inflammation.  And patients go okay, well why do I have inflammation?  Well there’s many factors.  Is your diet very toxic and devoid of nutrients and dead?  That will create inflammation.  Do you have toxins all over the body that are just sitting there sluggishly running through your system?  That creates inflammation.  Is your circulation poor?  Well, if your circulation is poor then you are going to have stagnant blood and it’s not going to be flowing and so that means it can’t detoxify and get rid of the unwanted material that’s in your body. 

Then, what other reasons?  Okay, if you’re dehydrated, if you eat dead food, we know that if we eat dead food that we’re going to decrease the oxygenation to the tissues. Well, what happens to decreased oxygenation? Well, as we all know, cancer lives an anaerobic, sugary, acidic environment.  We’ll go into that in a minute.  Let’s go back to the blood the work that I would do on a patient.

The other blood work. The patient’s blood sugar! Otto Warburg, in 1931, discovered that cancer cells eat sugar.  It’s not theory!  It’s a fact!  And we know, lots of studies published in very respective journals, have said that, for example; if you drink two sugary soft drinks per day you increase your risk of pancreatic cancer 90 percent.  If people eat most of their diet, high carbohydrate, high sugar, you increase your rate of cancer 54 percent.  So cancer loves sugar!  So if you have elevated blood sugar levels and we do a test called a Hemoglobin A1C, now a Hemoglobin A1C is a reflection of your blood sugar over 90 days.  Now, when you go to the doctor, typically they’ll just draw a random blood sugar.  Now, that’s your blood sugar over a minute of time.  That’s like getting the commercial of a movie.  You don’t want the commercial.  You want to see the whole movie.  Well, the Hemoglobin A1C is a reflection of your blood sugar over 90 days!  

Your Hormones

Transcript:

Another blood indicator is DAGA Levels.  DAGA is a hormone made by are Adrenal glands and we know what the levels they should be, but it’s our longevity hormone, it’s our stressful hormone, it’s our immune hormone.  And so, that is an indicator that your Adrenal glands are functioning or not.  Now, what are your Adrenal glands?  Your Adrenal glands are little glands that sit on top of your kidneys like little hats and they make over a hundred hormones.  You must have these glands and if you don’t have these glands, highly functioning, you are not, one, going to have a functioning immune system.  You’ll have elevated blood sugars because your cortical steroids or steroids raise the level of cortisol and cortisol elevates the blood sugar and also when you have elevated steroids, it destroys the gastrointestinal system and also destroys brain cells.  So there’s lots of different things with the DAGA Level.  It’s a reflection.  Is your Adrenal gland working for you or against you?  And I would say that is something rarely ever looked at by a conventional doctor and a lot of other doctors.  But your Adrenal glands and everybody’s stress today, and I would say lots of adults, children, lots of people have Adrenal gland dysfunction. 

Now, we want to look at our hormones.  What are our hormones?  What is our hormonal environment?  Hormones, what are hormones?  Hormones are important, chemical messengers that turn on and off a cell.  On and off a particular gland or an organ.  You need hormones to live.  They’re the natural drug produced in your body.  What kind of hormones would we look at?  Well, first of all, let’s look at the thyroid. The thyroid is a gland that sits here in your neck and we call it, I call it the battery of the body.  If you don’t have your thyroid gland, guess what? You’re dead.  You’re dead! You won’t wake up!  Your thyroid regulates the metabolism of every single cell in your body. And we know, that people with low thyroid gland function have higher risk of cancers.  What oncologist, have I ever met oncologist that usually checks the thyroid gland?  Rarely.  Do they check the DAGA Levels? No.  Do they check the parameters that I’m talking about?  Sometimes do, sometimes don’t.

Let’s look at another thing, in hormones.  Let’s go back to hormones. Thyroid Gland, okay, your thyroid gland. Then the next thing is your pancreas which makes the blood sugar, which I already discussed about.  Then we have the adrenal glands, like I said, that make a hundred hormones and then we have, in women ovaries, that make estrogen, progesterone and testosterone and we have the testicles that make testosterone in men.  So, depending on certain cancers, some of those, all those hormones maybe need to be looked at depending on the cancer that you have.  It just depends on what your diagnosis is.
