Dealing with cancer is
analogous to waging war. You may be dealing with a weak-hearted
(slow-growing) opponent, or a motivated, aggressive one (i.e. melanoma).
The weapons that may be affective with one opponent, may be
ineffective against another. Then again, you may find the right
weapon but be losing for lack of ammunition (i.e. insufficient or
improper dosage). Most importantly, however, you have to realize
that you will probably win your war with a combination of the right,
synergistic weapons, products that work together and work
for YOU, and not reliance on any one item, drug, therapy, modality,
or single piece of advice. If somehow, someway, you
could rid yourself of cancer by taking megadoses of Vitamin C you
can purchase at your local drugstore, unlikely but conceivably possible,
then you don't need anything from Alpha Omega Labs, or anyone else.
You just need to remember how to find your way there and back
to the drugstore. We're not being facetious about this. The
best approaches are those that are safe, effective, and reasonably
priced. But you have to search out what works for you, because
when it comes to internal cancers, there is no such thing as
a single product that works for everyone.
This question is included
in our FAQ section, because it really has been a recurring
one. We have had hundreds of users over the last ten years
tell us that our internal cancers worked for them every bit as
well as the Cansema Black
Topical Salve worked for their skin cancers. But the
success has not been uniform. We have had, over the years,
stage IV cases where the products were beginning to work, but
the case was so advanced that the patient died of the disease,
or the chemo, or the radiation, or some combination thereof. CanSupport was created
because of another realization about waging war: you have to
fight not only your opponent... you have to fight against time. Theoretically, if you
use Cansema Tonic III,
and you experience success, you don't need
CanSupport - and
vice versa. We provide more than one weapon, but you may not need
it to win your war. Of important note is the
fact that CanSupport products have been formulated so that each
addresses characteristics that are particular to each of ten
different types of cancer. Yes, there are common elements.
(Graviola, for instance, has properties that are so cancerolytic,
that you will note it is included in each formula.) But each
formula is uniquely different, even though many have similiar
characteristics. Optimally, we feel that
the most aggressive program we have (in addition to whatever "treatment"
that your oncologist may or may not be providing) is a trio
comprised of (1) HRx,
to pH balance the system, (2) Cansema
Tonic III, and (3) the CanSupport
product that correlates to your cancer type. These nutritional
products are the best weapons we have to offer. Together or
singularly, they have worked for thousands of people. But
that doesn't mean they will work for you. You need a good physician
who will monitor your results as you take our, or anyone else's
products -- whether they are nutritional support products, or
conventional treatments. In the end, winning the
war is all that matters. Is there really that much difference between each formula?
Some of the ingredients declarations look pretty similar.
As discussed in
Question 331 above, yes, there are common elements
between some of the formulas; however, an ingredient declaration tells
you what's in each product, in descending order, starting with the
ingredient in the largest percentage. This does not, however, tell
you the percentages, by weight, of each ingredient in the formula.
Each of these formulas contains ingredients at precise percentages,
which have, over time, yielded good results for those who have
used them in the field. Doesn't that mean they work as preventatives?
Conceivably they could be.
But why would you take a nutritional product that was designed
for, say, pancreatic cancer, if you didn't have it? These products
are not "one-a-day vitamins," and just because they herbal nutrients
and not a drug treatments doesn't mean that they are not best
taken in connection with specific disease conditions. Most
people, by way of example, take Cat's Claw, a widely used
immune builder available in most health food stores (and
available on this
site) because they feel a cold or flu coming on. Few
people take it day-after-day throughout the year. Are there contraindication or toxicity issues?
If the products are taken according
to instructions, there are absolutely none of which we are aware.
What kind of clinical trials have been done on CanSupport products?
None. One of the reasons
for having clinical trials is to test a drug's toxicity, as well
as its effectiveness. When we say that our products are
nutritional supports and not treatments or drugs in the conventional
sense, we mean it. Since our products are formulated using
as a foundation the ethnobotanical history of indigenous peoples
in South America, we already have a body of information, usage,
processing methodology, protocols, etc. to fall back on.
We are not seeking to test a brand new molecular entity.
We get this question from conventional practitioners who
are not educated in alternative traditions.
We almost never get it from an actual patient. What is the shelf-life of these products?
If kept refrigerated, approximately
three months. (A person who needs a longer shelf-life than
that either doesn't have cancer, or, as one practitioner put
it, he needs specialized counseling
aimed at instilling a renewed sense of urgency in the face of
physical, life-threatening danger.) What can I do to improve the medicinal taste?
If you ask this question,
you've given yourself away: we're absolutely certain you didn't
have to endure our Cansema Tonic (I), which has been discontinued.
(We got an email from one user once, who said that she was
grateful that the Cansema Tonic worked for her -- but the taste
was so awful, no wonder the cancer went away. It couldn't
take it, either!) By comparison, the flavor
notes you detect when you consume most of the CanSupport product
is a mild, medicinal taste, tingled with aloe, and slightly
bitter. We recommend your
favorite juice. (You may need to experiment). Among those
that users have reported: orange, cranberry, and
lemonade... at a ratio of one fluid ounce (two Tbsn.)
of CanSupport to seven ounces of juice, to make an
eight ounce glass. Another user reported that she prepared
the juice with the CanSupport, and put it in a blender
with psyllium husk so she could "deal with my cancer
and irregularity at the same time - especially since
neither is a delicious experience." Not a bad idea.
Please advise as to the make-up of your Co-Q10, i.e., oil/gell based or]
powder. I have been purchasing Andrew Lessman Co-Q10 from HSN. It is very
expensive but the claims are that it is the best possible form and purity.
Please advise as to the exact nature of your product. Thanks. One of the
more ridiculous product differentiation claims I've heard ...
(In fact, I'm putting this one is our FAQ section...) Co-Q-10 is a
patented name for Ubiquinone and once you have a
Certificate of Analysis ("C. of A.") from the
manufacturer, you either have the specified amount,
or you're lying. Now, it could be argued (quite tenuously)
that gelcaps are better than capsules, capsules better than
tablets, etc., etc. -- in other words, issues of "optimal delivery"
could be debated. But if your G.I. tract is in good working
order, it really comes down to unconfirmable hair-splitting.
People who want
to charge exorbitant amounts for what is essentially
a commodity pull this kind of nonsense. It is, in the
nutritional supplement industry, almost a clique.
