Introduction

Salvestrols v/s Cancer

In 2002, Prof. Gerry Potter1,2 identified and outlined a nutritional rescue mechanism that linked specific compounds in some of the common foods we eat with cancer cell death. The rescue mechanism hinged on the metabolic activity of a certain cytochrome P450 enzyme, CYP1B1.3,4 Importantly, this enzyme was found to be expressed by all cancers, regardless of oncogenic origin, while being absent from healthy tissue.5-7 It is now widely regarded as a universal cancer marker.8

It was found that CYP1B1 metabolizes a specific class of dietary compound that Profs. Potter and Burke named Salvestrols. When Salvestrols are metabolized by CYP1B1, they create compounds that actually cause apoptosis in the cancer cell. In this way, Salvestrols operate as natural prodrugs, completely targeted to killing diseased cancer cells while leaving the normal cells alone. Initial research indicates that this mechanism could operate both preventatively, killing off cells as they become cancerous, and therapeutically, killing off cells that are part of active disease.

The therapeutic and diagnostic implications of this mechanism have been discussed.9-12 Within the context of a nutritional approach to treating cancer, this mechanism appears to significantly reduce cancer cells in the body and thus increase chances of a beneficial outcome for a cancer sufferer. It is also true that when one chooses to utilize Salvestrols in combating this disease a broader nutritional approach will aid in the efficient operation of this rescue mechanism. Co-factors such as biotin, vi tamin C, vitamin B3, magnesium and iron are all known to be important. Other nutritional components, such as fatty acids, probiotics and selenium, also play important roles.

A variety of cases are presented in this article. Written and valid consent has been obtained from each patient whose case is described. Some represent situations where the patient has refused conventional treatment. Other cases highlight how patients will find themselves undergoing conventional procedures to complement nutritional approaches. The cases represent a cross-section of cancers: breast, prostate, colon, liver and Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Hopefully these cases will help encourage patients and their physicians to incorporate nutritional medicine into their approach for a cure, regardless of their choice of intervention.

Throughout these cases the dosage of Salvestrols is given in number of Salvestrol points. (See Table 1 in the pdf version of this article) Salvestrol points have been devised to help convey the selectivity of Salvestrols. Selectivity, rather than milligrams, is the important element in dealing with active disease. Salvestrols represent a class of compounds that differ in their selectivity, hence, representing capsule ingredients in milligrams of active Salvestrols conveys very little useful information.

Case #1. Stage 3 breast cancer

Breast Self Examination

A 50-year-old female presented to her physician with pain in her upper chest area and tiredness. She was subsequently diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer following ultrasound imaging. The diagnosis was confirmed through biopsy. Imaging revealed a 2.5 cm tumour in the left breast. She had a concurrent diagnosis of hypothyroidism.

Surgical removal of the tumour, along with chemotherapy and radiotherapy, were recommended. Chemotherapy was declined and a surgery date was scheduled for exactly one month after the diagnosis had been confirmed. In the interim, pain was managed with Tylenol® 3 (2 tablets at onset of pain).

Concurrent with obtaining the diagnosis, the patient began a course of Salvestrols. This comprised five Salvestrol Professional (350 point) capsules and five Salvestrol Gold (350 point) capsules, spread through the day by taking a roughly equal number of capsules before each of the three main meals. This level of Salvestrol supplementation (3,500 points per day) was carried out for three months.

Further to the Salvestrol supplementation, the patient embarked on an organic, vegan diet (vegetables, greens, fruits, juices, wheatgrass and tea) and an exercise program of walking and yoga. Salvestrol specific co-factors were also taken; biotin, 300mcg; niacin, amount unknown; magnesium by way of a calcium/magnesium tablet, amount unknown; iron, 1 oz., amount unknown; and Vitamin C, 1,000 mg. In addition, her naturopathic physician added selenium (200 mg) to her daily supplementation.

During the one-month wait for surgery, breast self examination revealed that the tumour softened, the texture changed and the tumour progressively decreased in size. Surgery removed a 1.3 cm tumour (about half the diameter of the tumour at time of diagnosis one month earlier). The lymph nodes were free of cancer, as was the blood. A hematology panel showed all results were within normal limits. One month after surgery, the patient received radiotherapy once a day for 30 days, as a preventive measure.

After three months of Salvestrol supplementation, the dosage was reduced to a total of six capsules per day. This comprised three Salvestrol Professional (350 point) capsules and three Salvestrol Gold (350 point) capsules, spread through the day by taking one capsule of each before each main meal. This level of Salvestrol supplementation (2,100 points per day) has been maintained.

Eight months after surgery the patient was cancer free, pain free and experiencing less tiredness. At 13 months after surgery, the patient remains cancer free, pain free and experiencing little tiredness. Her diagnosis of hypothyroidism remains. It seems reasonable to conclude that the degree of tumour shrinkage that she experienced during the one-month wait for surgery is attributable to the Salvestrol supplementation, her focus on nutrition, exercise and Salvestrol co-factor supplementation.
