Hi There,
Just in case anyone still remembers me, (its been a while I am glad to say) I am still around and doing well. Diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer in 2001 that had already spread to my liver I was given 6 months. My last check up in March the Oncologist told me he will cut me free next year as I will have reached the TEN year mark and I am completely Cancer free. I just wanted to get in a quick post to show that you can beat the odds and you should always have hope and never give up.
I still drink my 2 cups of pau d'arco tea every day and swear by the stuff. I still use the same tea I have from the start which you can get at http://www.herb-care.com,
it is important to buy the tea from a reputable company to ensure you are getting the right species of inner bark.
Anyway just wanted to say Hi and thanks to cure zone and such forums where I first learned about the tea.
Best Wishes to all...
Thanks for letting us know how you're doing and the success you have had with pau d'arco tea. I would add for the folks who are not familiar with your story that, while pau d'arco has been the centerpiece of your successful fight, you also did juiced vegetables and took some other items. If you have the time, perhaps you could fill in some of those details for the benefit of other members.
Hi DQ
Yes indeed I did also fresh juice twice per day...fruit in the a.m. with Vital Greens added.( a ph boosting greens superfood powder) and veggie at night with lots of cabbage and garlic...and yes the evening juice did taste awfull and I don't think any vampires would come within fifty feet of my garlic breath but it was worth it considering the results. I am a big believer in the powers of garlic. I also took various supplements and vitamins, nothing to fancy and I tweaked them down to just those I thought necessary as I hate popping pills. I took a good multi-vit/multi mineral, milk thistle ( great for the liver), extra vit e and c and bromelain supplements. Bromelain is also found naturally in pineapples so my morning juice which incidentally tasted fantastic was loaded with bromelain, I have read that bromelain literally strips the mucus coating away from cancer cells allowing your own bodies natural defenses to recognize them as the bad guys and attack and kill them.
I cut out all sugar and switched to stevia, still the only sweetener I use, ( please people stay away from artificial sweeteners and sugar ). I also cut out as much as possible refined foods and ate only fresh game meat, luckily I am a hunter and fresh venison and moose is not a problem. I concentrated on lots of veg and fruit, whole grains etc...
Well that's about it.
I also of course always tried to keep active, get fresh air and stay motivated and positive which in itself I believe is a very important component.
Hope this helps someone, I know its a hard fight and I have been very lucky, but people beat the odds every day, just never give up and don't believe all the doom and gloom the Docs spout at you, most of them mean well but there is a whole world of alternatives and herbals that do wondrous things and they are not even allowed to discuss them with you... even if they want too.
Healthy Wishes to All,
Yoda.

I do have to disagree with your comments here. First of all the pineapple fruit is not that high in bromelain. Bromelain is concentrated in the stem of the pineapple, not the fruit.
And bromelain is a protein digestive enzyme. But mucus is primarily composed of polysaccharides, not protein, which means that the bromelain will have very little effect on mucus.
And finally, cancer cells are not coated with mucus. Cancer cells are embryonic tissue. And like the fetus, which is also a foreign protein, cancer cells and fetuses hide from the immune system through a coating of human chorionic gonadotropic hormone HCG). This is why they were looking in to using anti-HCG vaccines to fight cancer about 20 years ago.
Good info. It could be, however, that bromelain might have some effect at stripping away the outer layer of cancer cells since it is a digestive enzyme and that is what Kelly used to defeat his pancreatic cancer. Granted that chymotrypsin, serrapeptase, amylase and other enzymes might have been more important, but then again, bromelain is also a very powerful binder that potentiates many other items, including other enzymes from what I have read. Perhaps his bromelain, from both the supplement and the bit in the juice, also helped potentiate the pau d'arco?
Bromelain is widely available in supplement form, though it is a good idea to go with a quality product as it has been found that effectiveness and actual bromelain content varies widely from one manufacturer to another. A good place to look in my opinion would be iherb.com, where you can also find some good combination enzyme products such as Garden of Life's OmegaZymes as well as Serrapeptase supplements (I use the Doctor's Best brand). If you have never ordered from iherb before, you can use my referral code of X0T949 to get $5 off your first order (I am not an affiliate of iherb's, but I do get a few cents credit on my own future purchases when someone uses the code).
A modestly priced quality enzyme combo is JarrowZymes Plus, which you can get at a number of places including CureZone sponsor Utopia Silver Supplement Company (and you can get 15% off if it is not currently on sale at Utopia if you use the CureZone discount code of LR001).
Besides the fact that digestive/pancreatic enzymes may directly help fight cancer cells, they also help digest some of the foreign proteins in our diet, which can cut down on mucous production. Mucous is a defense mechanism the body uses in response to foreign objects. Thus, digesting and helping eliminate such objects can result in less mucous.
A further note: healthy mucousal linings are needed for optimum health and immune function. When they are stripped away, the body struggles mightily to rebuild them. For that reason, it is important to balance the need for cleansing with the need to maintain healthy mucousal linings. Perhaps the best plan would be initial cleansing and then limited cleansing thereafter. One exception when it comes to cancer in my opinion would be coffee enemas, especially at the outset of adopting an anti-cancer protocol.
The late great cancer pioneer Max Gerson observed that he never found a single cancer patient who did not have an impaired liver. In fact, initially half of his patients who were using his intensive juicing therapy ended up dying of liver failure due to the large release of toxins having to be processed by already impaired liver. Thus measures such as coffee enemas, coconut milk, curcumin, and beet root juice to help open the bile duct and keep it open and flowing to release toxins can be critical. I also consider milk thistle to be a critical element for liver health since it helps protect and regenerate the liver.
Great info...I also have an addition, though I am no expert I believe that plain old lemon juice is also very good for the liver and although it would seem acidic it actually helps the body to be alkaline once ingested...now it is Summer here in Canada I am drinking tons of lemonade, nothing like a few fresh squeezed lemons added to some nice cold water and sweetened of course with stevia...
:-)

This is confusing to people so I thought I would respond to clear this up. When the lemon juice reaches the intestines it over stimulates the release of alkaline bicarbonate stores, which is why lemon juice creates an alkalinizing effect.
Hi My 1st post. I am very excited about enzymes in general and serrapeptase in particular. I found out that I had a uterine fibroid early this year while treating myself with shepherds purse and other herbs/spices (didn't know then that I had a fibroid) My health food store guy gave me serrapeptase. I took the serrapeptase for a few months every morning and sometimes at night on an empty stomach. I eventually developed a tight kind of sore pain in my neck on the left side. So I stopped taking it and then in a few weeks with the pain gone I started taking it again in about a week the neck pain was back.
So I don't know what to think of it. I believe that the serrapeptase helped with the fibroid/bleeding but I have not had a new ultra sound to confirm that. I wanted to wait a few months and give the enzyme therapy time to work. The pain in my neck is not bad but is it a progressive danger or a side effect that will work itself out? I also take Ultra-Zyme for 2 years and I eat at least 60% raw food with no processed food or chemicals. I would eat more raw food but I love lentil soup.
BTW I've lost 40 lbs since January trading wheat,oats,rice and potatoes for at least one raw food meal a day. I just wanted the enzymes.
Any info that you have on serrapeptase or other helpful enzymes would be appreciated.

It is hard to say. But one thing we do have to keep in mind is that tissues throughout our body as well as hormones, antibodies, etc. are all protein based. The enzymes are not tissue specific so they are not going to only target cancer or fibroid cells.
I know, it took me weeks to take this (new to me) enzyme because I was concerned about it's "manufactured state" for lack of a better phrase, and that it was not designed for the human body. But if it could do what the "medicine men" said then it was exactly what I needed. I decided to try that rather than take oral iron that my doctor suggested or I.V. iron that my oncologist suggested (treating symptoms) for moderate anemia after reading that iron would be food for cancer if I had cancer.
That's why I ditched anything that would feed cancer in my diet.
Note:(not that serrapeptase would help the iron problem but that it would reduce the fibroid which I believe was causing the bleeding and decreased iron)
Bromelain is widely available in supplement form, though it is a good idea to go with a quality product as it has been found that effectiveness and actual bromelain content varies widely from one manufacturer to another.
It also needs to be pointed out that bromelain is a common allergen Therefore I recommend going with other protease enzyme sources. Straight protease enzymes can be found in health food stores or there are various herbal sources such as dan shen (red sage root).
One exception when it comes to cancer in my opinion would be coffee enemas, especially at the outset of adopting an anti-cancer protocol.
This is something I have to disagree with. It is the caffeine in the coffee that is stimulating the liver to flush. But caffeine also overstimulates the adrenal glands leading to decreased immunity and increased inflammation, which contributes to cancer. Digestive bitters would be a much better way to cleanse the liver is with digestive bitters and plenty of water throughout the day.
Thus measures such as coffee enemas, coconut milk, curcumin, and beet root juice to help open the bile duct and keep it open and flowing to release toxins can be critical.
Turmeric is great for cancer, although the active component curcumin is poorly absorbed.
I would not recommend beet root though. One it is very high in iron. Iron promotes cancer growth, can promote the growth of cancer microbes and can increase oxidative damage. In addition beet root is high in sugar, which can also promote cancer growth. Again bitters would be a safer choice. Bitters not only stimulate the release of toxins from the liver, but also bile and enzymes.

Protease enzymes have been used in conjunction with some cancer therapies to potentiate the effects. An example is with laetrile. Laetrile works for early cancers, but will not work on advanced cancers. Laetrile only works as a pain killer in advanced cancers. But combined with protease enzymes the laetrile will work on advanced cancers.

I agree, pau d' arco (lapacho, taheebo, ipe roxo) is a great herb for many things. It contains 18 antiseptic anthraquinones and napthaquinones as well as 5 anti-inflammatories.
A tip though, combining pau d' arco with chaparral, which is also antitumor, will potentiate the effects of the pau d' arco.
First if all I am really happy for you and your family,
May god grant you all his blessings..
When someone sent me your post, I was really happy and I got pumped up with hope again..
See my dad was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer stomach, that has also spread to the liver, six months ago..
We tried different kinds of chemotherapy that all didn't work because they say his cancer cells are really aggressive and poorly differentiated..
We were also introduced to curezone by a friend and we
will follow a certain protoccol to help my dad
I am really curious to know about the proccess of how you got rid of your cancer, how long did it take you?
what exactly were you doing on a daily basis?
your diet??
how did you know your cancers were vanishing?
you had CTs and the liver masses/stomach mass were just gone??
Everything in a bit of details..
I am sorry if i am a bit intruding, but I bet you have a really good idea how overwhelming can this be..
I lost my sister to cancer and it's been really tough, I really believe god sent us to this place here for a reason
I'd really appreciate all your help and patience..
Hello Rosalinda...I have sent you a private email in response, please contact me directly...I often forget to check in here and for some reason I am not getting email notifications of new messages like I used to.
best Wishes, Yoda.

Once cancer spreads to the liver it can become very aggressive, which means he needs to be very aggressive about the cancer. I recommend really focusing on mitosis inhibitors (chaparral, black walnut hull), hyaluronidase inhibition (myrrh), angiogenesis inhibition (ashwagandha) and antimicrobials and immune stimulants (chaparral, pau d' arco, myrrh, andrographis, etc.). But I would not rely on herbs alone at this point. I highly recommend looking in to ozone therapy as well, which is highly effective for advanced cancers and is very safe when used properly.
