Book Review: Pelicans, Coconuts & Butterflies – Ani Kaspar
 Pelicans, Coconuts & Butterflies “Pelicans, Coconuts and Butterflies” is a breast cancer survivor’s story by new author Ani Kaspar. I have read dozens of cancer survivor’s books and articles over the last 21 years. When I came across Ani Kaspar’s account on Facebook I had just met with a friend whose wife was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. I noted Pelicans, Coconuts and Butterflies was Ani’s account of dealing with her own personal breast cancer challenge and thought the book may be a great gift for my friend’s wife.
When received I sat down to review Ani’s story prior to posting it off to my friend. I was not prepared for the marvelous personal accounts of diagnosis, facing of daily challenges and the ultimate triumph incorporated into Ani’s story of her struggles. Ani Kaspar’s ability to show her human side, intertwined with the spirituality required in chapter after chapter left me unable to sit the book down. I can only describe her story telling abilities as masterful.
The bonus is after 20 plus years of cancer education I was learning useful medical information without being preached to or taught in a scholarly way. The cancer tips, facts and figures were so skillfully intertwined into Ani’s story that picking them up was second nature. Hopefully, you can tell I’m giving Pelicans, Coconuts and Butterflies my unqualified endorsement and suggesting it be in everyone’s library, cancer patient or not.

 Cayenne Pepper (Capsaicin) Capsaicin, the active ingredient in habaneras and cayenne peppers, has a long history of cancer and other medical applications. I initially started this post in response to a request for help with a serious and reoccurring nose bleed.
It turns out a tea made of cayenne pepper (1 teaspoon per cup of hot water) is close to 100% effective in addressing the reoccurring nose bleeding problem.
Thinking about the heat generated by the capsaicin in cayenne pepper took me back to a cancer cure I came across several years ago. It involved eating a sandwich made of habanera peppers, garlic, butter and cod liver oil every day for 14 days. At the end of the period Stage IV cancer was suppose to be on the run.

 Ultra-Sonic Cleaner Combination Liposomal for cancer contains Vitamin C, Resveratrol and Curcumin. Pdazzler’s latest homemade Liposomal may be a potent cancer fighter when added to your current anti-cancer regimen or protocol. And you can make this powerful combination Liposomal in your own kitchen.
I have used homemade Liposomal Vitamin C as an alternative cancer treatment and as a cancer preventative for over a year.
Vitamin C (like Curcumin and Resveratrol) is very difficult for the body to absorb when taken orally. This is particularly true when Vitamin C is taken in large oral doses. Until the advent of Liposomal Vitamin C the only efficient method of getting therapeutic levels of Vitamin C into the blood stream was intravenously. This required administration and attendance by a physician or nurse practitioner. Continue reading Combination Liposomal

Abstract
Emerging evidence indicates that impaired cellular energy metabolism is the defining characteristic of nearly all cancers regardless of cellular or tissue origin. In contrast to normal cells, which derive most of their usable energy from oxidative phosphorylation, most cancer cells become heavily dependent on substrate level phosphorylation to meet energy demands. Evidence is reviewed supporting a general hypothesis that genomic instability and essentially all hallmarks of cancer, including aerobic glycolysis (Warburg effect), can be linked to impaired mitochondrial function and energy metabolism. A view of cancer as primarily a metabolic disease will impact approaches to cancer management and prevention.
Introduction
 Professor Thomas Seyfried Cancer is a complex disease involving numerous tempo-spatial changes in cell physiology, which ultimately lead to malignant tumors. Abnormal cell growth (neoplasia) is the biological endpoint of the disease. Tumor cell invasion of surrounding tissues and distant organs is the primary cause of morbidity and mortality for most cancer patients. The biological process by which normal cells are transformed into malignant cancer cells has been the subject of a large research effort in the biomedical sciences for many decades. Despite this research effort, cures or long-term management strategies for metastatic cancer are as challenging today as they were 40 years ago when President Richard Nixon declared a war on cancer [1,2].
Confusion surrounds the origin of cancer. Contradictions and paradoxes have plagued the field [3-6]. Without a clear idea on cancer origins, it becomes difficult to formulate a clear strategy for effective management. Although very specific processes underlie malignant transformation, a large number of unspecific influences can initiate the disease including radiation, chemicals, viruses, inflammation, etc. Indeed, it appears that prolonged exposure to almost any provocative agent in the environment can potentially cause cancer [7,8]. That a very specific process could be initiated in very unspecific ways was considered “the oncogenic paradox” by Szent-Gyorgyi [8]. This paradox has remained largely unresolved [7].

 Stanislaw Burzynskii, M.D When a relative was diagnosed with Mesothelioma I decided to find a number of mesothelioma survivors to determine just what approach they took to defeating the challenge. Little did I know just how difficult that would be. One long term survivor (8 years and counting) I correspond with was a patient of Dr. Burzynski’s.
When I heard a documentary film was being made and released about Burzynski I thought it would be worth seeing. It has just been released and appears to be igniting a bit of a fire storm. Several reviews are terribly negative, mostly from those who have not seen the film. The Los Angeles Times has a bit of a positive spin and it reads like the author may actually have seen the film. – Pdazzler
Movie Review: Los Angeles Times – Kevin Thomas
Eric Merola’s “Burzynski” charts how a Texas medical doctor and biochemist developed Antineoplastons, genetic-targeted medicines, and with them began to treat a wide range of cancers, including Continue reading Burzynski, the Movie
