Below are listed some resources Brent recommends and some treatments Brent has done or is considering.
• Fach Klinik – This is the German clinic that Brent is at (Dec 9 to 20, 2011) for treatment. (for ‘whole body hyperthermia’ ). For more information, click here.
• Dr. Gurdev Parmar – I met Dr. Gurdev Parmar about 3 years ago and he has been my guide through much of this process. He is a naturopath focusing on oncology and is working with me as if this prostate cancer is the best thing that ever happened to me. I have appreciated the opportunity to reframe this experience and I can say that, with some challenge, it is coming around that way. His clinic is in Fort Langley BC. For more information click here.
• Cancer Free (book, by Bill Henderson) – This book really turned around my thinking and got me focused on the importance of diet in treating cancer. I have also contacted Bill Henderson for some private, personal coaching. For more information go here and for Bill’s weekly online broadcast check here.
• Univera – I have been using Univera products for the past several years because of my association with Renee Poindexter. Their motto is “Univera – bringing the best of nature to humankind to help you look, feel and perform better every day.” The Univera company is focused on optimizing human health for wellness and longevity. It is focused on network marketing and building a community for mutual support and wellness. Renee is on the board in both Canada and the US and brought the products to me in Canada. I introduced Angelyn Toth to the company and to Renee and now Angelyn is the largest distributor of the product in Canada. If you are interested in their natural herbal products for optimum health, or if you want to participate in this business opportunity and join in Brent’s business and support yourself and him then please read Angelyn Toth’s story here.
Conscious Health – The Complete Owner’s Natural Health and Healing Manual – Ron Garner - I got this book recently and it is an amazing source of information. For example there was a ten year study done on cats where one group was fed raw meat and raw milk and the other group was fed cooked meat and pasteurized milk. The raw group remained healthy for 4 generations while the the cooked food cats got sick at the end of their lives in the first generation, sick in mid life in the second generation, sick early on in the third generation and there were no cats in the fourth generation. This points to the importance of raw food in our diet.
Prostate Cancer Study - One study (available here) has been done in humans to test this effect. Forty-six men who had prostate cancer were enrolled. These men had all been treated for the cancer with surgery or radiation and had evidence of its recurrence as measured by the PSA test. This test is an excellent way to track cancer recurrence, and one marker we use for measuring cancer growth is the doubling time of the PSA. Prior to drinking the juice, the men’s average PSA doubling time was 15 months; while consuming it, this slowed down to 54 months! PSA doubling time is thought to correlate well with death from prostate cancer, so this is a very significant result. These men’s cancer cells were also analyzed in the lab and found to be much less aggressive while they were consuming the juice. It did not seem that the pomegranate juice was able to cure the cancer, but it did seem to slow its growth significantly. While these results are promising, they are not enough to alter treatment patterns, because there was no control group (men who did not drink the juice). Hopefully, further studies will be done soon.
Pomegranates have been known to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties for some time. In fact, pomegranates have over three times the antioxidant activity of green tea and red wine! Preventing cancer is just one of the many health benefits that may be possible. One fascinating laboratory study was done on skin cells. The cells were exposed to ultraviolet light, and cancer changes occurred. However, when the cells were bathed in pomegranate fruit extract, their cancer-related activity, as measured by various tumor markers, was much reduced.
