How and why cancer continues to ravage and extinguish the lives of millions worldwide continues to baffle medical experts.
Cancer cannot be stopped using one approach alone, so there is an urgent need to discover the right synergy of approaches.
Doctor with a mission
Dr. Robert J. Rowen has trained 400 doctors and cured over 5,000 patients. He is best known for helping pass America’s first medical freedom law. Because he has helped so many turn their lives around, he is regarded as a miracle worker.
Many of his patients suffer from terminal and deadly diseases like cancer or challenging health conditions like diabetes, arthritis and heart disease.
Undaunted by the gravity of his patients’ condition, he passionately pursues a cure.
Dr. Rowen now helms “Second Opinion,” one of the most respected health advisories in the US, as he continues to treat patients with problems from cancer to autism.
So far, he has learned that:
- Cancer will not be beaten with one singular modality.
- The immune system must be strengthened through detoxification; the elimination of all heavy metal dental fillings; addressing infections; and the alkalinization of the body and the use of oxidative therapy like hydrogen peroxide IV, ozone therapy and multinutritional therapy.
- The consumption of juice from bitter melon (ampalaya) could help beat cancer.
Rising star
This common vegetable fights cancer cells. For decades, bitter melon (Momordica charantia linn), which is indigenous to Asia, has been known as the best preventive measure and health aid against diabetes.
A member of the cucurbitaceae family, the Latin word momordicus means bitter. Charantia is Greek for “flower.”
Ampalaya looks like a cucumber with warts. It is not a good-looking vegetable, but it may save your life.
The fruit/vegetable’s bitter taste comes from the presence of:
- Vitamin A, 335 mg
- Vitamin B1, .06 mg
- Vitamin B2, .03 mg
- Vitamin C, .55 mg
Its chemical composition includes amino acids, alkaloids, lectins, polypeptides, momorcharins, aromatic oils, cytokins, fatty acids, vicine, sterol glycosides, triterpene glycosides and fixed oils.
Dr. Rowen says that apoptosis or cell death is the key to fighting cancer. Wayward cancer cells killing themselves is the ideal scenario.
The doctor had already reported the merits of resveratrol, green tea and seanol in helping patients recover.
Now he is focused on bitter melon.
“Bitter melon juice diluted to just 5 percent in water showed remarkable potency in severely damaging all four pancreatic cancer cell lines researchers tested,” he says. It has reduced the viability of two cancer cell lines by 90 percent and knocked off the other two lines by a staggering 98 percent after just 72 hours of treatment.
With all the available modalities versus cancer, one truth remains: The approach must be multifocal.
Nothing to lose
Studies of the potential of bitter melon extract in inhibiting pancreatic and breast cancer cells have been encouraging. Researchers in the University of Colorado Cancer Center introduced the extract to malignant cells in a laboratory dish and did the same to pancreatic cells on mice.
The result, published in the Journal Carcinogenesis in March 2013, showed that cancer cell destruction occurred.
Why not add ampalaya to your daily diet? You have nothing to lose; you even add to your health enhancement.
Morning tonic:
- ¼ uncooked, raw ampalaya
- 1 green apple
- 1 singkamas
Chop and place in a blender or juicer. Drink up. If you want the fiber, use the blender. This is effective for weight loss.
Daily salad:
Add mixed greens, 1/8 cup thinly sliced ampalaya (previously rubbed with sea salt), tomatoes and chopped green apples in a bowl.
For dressing: juice from 1 whole orange, ¼ tsp honey, 1 tbsp olive oil.
This week’s affirmation: “I replace bitterness with sweetness in my life.”
Love and light!
