“Recent Trends for the Diagnostic Procedures of Malignancies

Despite over twenty years of research, with billions of dollars spent each year, the conventional medical establishment’s “war on cancer” has been a dismal failure. Today, we are no closer to understanding the underlying causes for the rapid rise of cancer rates or to finding safe and effective treatments (Kastner, 236). Most people continue to equate cancer with death, or, at the very best, an excruciating journey back to health filled with physical debilitation and pain. There are, however, innovative diagnostic procedures and a variety of alternative therapies which exist and have proven safer, gentler, and more effective at reversing cancer, than standard conventional techniques. This paper will attempt to discuss those procedures and therapies as well as the impact these trends will have on community health into the year 2000 and beyond.

Cancer is a disease in which healthy cells stop functioning and maturing properly. As the normal cycle of cell creation and death is interrupted, these newly “mutated” cancer cells begin multiplying uncontrollably, no longer operating as an integrated and harmonious part of the body. They also become parasitic, and can develop their own network of blood vessels to siphon no


Another major benefit of the treatment, is its additional effect on the lymph system. The first thing that the 714X actually does, because of the action of the organic salts when it is injected into the lymphatic system, is to liquefy the lymph, allowing toxins to be flushed out. This is important because one of the consequences of cancer, due to the fact that cancer cells put out so many toxins, is that the lymph system becomes clogged up (Kastner, 238). This also helps the immune system because one of its main jobs is to take toxins out of the body so it can function properly.

Developed by biologist Gaston Naessens, the 714X treatment consists of three consecutive series of twenty one days of injections of nitrogen rich camphor and organic salts directly into the lymphatic system. Jacinte Levesque, O.M.D., of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and a close associate of Naessens, notes this therapy was developed when Naessens observed that cancer cells required and used up a lot of nitrogen, often stealing it from healthy cells. In order to do this, cancer cells excrete a poisonous compound called the “co-cancerogenic K factor”, which paralyzes the immune system, allowing the cancer cells to draw the needed nitrogen from the healthy cells (Kastner, 235). When the 714X is introduced into the system, it acts as an attractor for the cancer cells, because of the high level of nitrogen in the camphor. Now, because the cancer cells are getting their nitrogen from the camphor molecules, they no longer have to excrete the K co-factor to immobilize the healthy cells’ defensive system. In other words, it is like a distraction, because the 714X does not kill the cancer cells, but rather attracts them and feeds them in order to liberate the immune system. While the 714X is engaging the cancer cells, the cancer cells, the immune system starts to pick up, and is able to do the job once again since it is not paralyzed by the co-factor anymore (Kastner, 237).

One of the most promising methods in the alternative field is known as Antineoplaston Therapy. Developed by Stanislaw Burzynski, M.D., Ph.D., of Houston Texas. Dr. Burzynski’s treatment is based on a theory that the body has a parallel biochemical defense system independent of the immune system. He refers to this as the Biochemical Defense System (BDS). He believes that it is different from the immune system in that it job is the reprogramming of defective cells. Which means there is no destruction of cells, but rather changing the program inside the defective cell, which means that the cell will begin to function normally. The underlying belief is that if all of the cancer cells will be programmed and function normally, then, ultimately, there will be no cancer anymore.

 In the U.S., 15,800 new cases of invasive cervical cancer occurred in 1995, and 4,800 women died of the disease, according to statistics from the American Cancer Society (Hinterhauser, 31). Each year, more than 50 million U.S. women have Pap smears to screen for cervical cancer. After a woman has a Pap smear, she waits two weeks for the result. If the test shows any abnormalities, she has a second Pap smear and starts waiting again. A second abnormal result means a microscopic examination of the cervix along with a biopsy, then waiting several more weeks for biopsy results. This waiting, however, may be over. New research is focusing on a pencil - sized device that re
