Great news and information on innovative ways to treat cancer that may be more effective and certainly safer than standard treatments of today.

Before you can treat cancer, you have to diagnose it. To screen for cancer or not to screen for cancer that is the Question. So, in this SS I go into options for cancer screening: https://jpsaleebymd.substack.com/p/cancer-screening-options

Here is the Elevated Medicine podcast that goes into it further: https://rumble.com/v6xmk18-pha-elevated-medicine-podcast-cancer-screenings.html Here Meredith interviews me for the podcast on how best to screen for cancer. If you are POSITIVE for a malignancy, then next steps would be to ''pick'' the right course or path in treatment.

There will be subsequent postings here and, on my SS, (Substack) about options and alternative in cancer treatment from the remote past all the way up until now. Keep an ear to the rail about IMA's info on repurposed drugs for cancer too.

Justus R Hope do you have a X account we can follow also?

Thank you Justus for including Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma to your updated protocol!!🙏✨

I think a better approach is to turn on the Vagus nerve. I disagree with blocking catecholamines with a beta blocker that shuts off inhibits CoenzymeQ10 availability usage decreasing oxygen and metabolism in mitochondria. A person with excess catecholamines needs plant foods and tea with VitaminC to calm their catecholamines, Bcomplex, VitD3/K2. Anyone taking statins, psych meds, beta blockers, diuretics, metformin needs CoQ10 if they get a cancer diagnosis and to discontinue deprescribe the mitochondrial inhibiter meds.

That sounds like a well-informed and interesting point of view. I'll see what the team thinks, but also it seems like we are more aligned than you think. Your analysis definitely fits into a concept we are very keen to promote: that cancer treatment should be tailored to the individual, and to the individual type of cancer, and the stage. The list of drugs here is a guide, not a guarantee that each medicine will work well in every scenario or even be well tolerated by every individual.

Every cancer patient consumer and all medication consumers need to pump up the mitochondria to get better; taking meds that shut doen mitochondria will not work out.

I am a little disappointed in you, Dr. Marik, the ICU sepsis hero, who knew how to put a protocol together. In Chinese medicine, we would call your PDF cookbook medicine, but that said, you skip over the necessary basics while including medicines with toxicity. How could you, for instance, not include magnesium in your protocol? How can you expect your protocol to work well in severely magnesium-deficient patients?

Any newly diagnosed cancer patient should take a hard look at any of the mainstream medical protocols (chemo, radiation) before agreeing to undergo any therapy. Read the medical data safety sheets for any drugs or chemo. You will become more frightened by the treatment than the cancer itself. They push (your) death for profit.

And then look at alternatives that are out there. There are many, many far less toxic alternatives that have been shunned and repressed by the establishment, but they do not cost an arm and a leg (and your health), don’t make money for big pharma, and give you the chance to live and feel healthier.

IVM is not the only repurposed drug or natural alternative. Even given that big pharma may produce IVM (there are many smaller companies that do as well) they will NEVER suggest that it be used for cancer as it is cheap to buy and there are many more profitable mainstream medicine approved cancer treatments.

Why do you use propranolol? Beta Blocker

Independent Medical Alliance's avatar

Every item on the list has strong research to support its use for cancer. This is an excerpt from Dr. Marik Cancer Care Monograph (https://imahealth.org/research/cancer-care/):

"Propranolol is a beta blocker that shields the effect of catecholamines on the body.

Catecholamines like norepinephrine and epinephrine are released when we encounter stress,

and stress increases the likelihood of developing cancer. Therefore, by blocking the

catecholamines, propranolol reduces the risk of developing cancer. However, the key property of this beta blocker is that it reduces metastatic spread."

My husband is a retired radiologist who used his hands for procedures for years.

A few months ago he used Efudex topically on his face and then his hands and forearms. His only other medications were a low dose beta blocker and low dose statin for controlled mild hypertension. After applying the Efudex (topical 5FU chemotherapeutic) to his hands and arms, he started having acute symptoms of Raynauds syndrome with severe blanching of fingers, pain, neuropathy and nodule formations in soft tissue and possibly bone. He now has developed fluid cysts on elbow and one on shoulder. Dr has not aspirated fluid to assess. He will have MRI tomorrow.

His hands have become basically useless as he has limited sense of touch.

Rheumatologist has no idea as he has not had signs of other underlying disease processes, is at an ideal weight and exercises daily. He started him on a calcium channel blocker without discontinuing the beta blocker. He has noticed no change in hands.

It is my understanding that beta blockers are known to have a negative reaction with chemotherapeutics and triggering Raynauds as one outcome. I was surprised to see beta blockers and statins on this list and wondered if you had any idea if this should be looked into further. My concern is that whatever reaction he is having is potentiated by a possible spike protein effect or his immune system has been adversely affected from the Covid vax.

He only had two shots so hopefully that isn’t it. His situation is bizarre and none of his doctors have a clue.

If you or anyone have any ideas as how to proceed to have some resolution as to what is happening it would be so greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I would quit Beta blocker and statin to reverse cancer process both those drug inhibit production of CoQ10 and youwill never et betterfrom cancer if you take meds that are mitochondrial toxins.

To support mitochondria take magnesium CoQ10 VitD3/K2

methyl B complex

chia seeds cocoa powder stop using fluoride toothpaste

eat all plants

stop consuming oil mayo dairy eggs animal foods your body needs more Ascorbate in the for of plant foods and teasto turn on apoptosis.

Nutrition Pharmacist's avatar

To fix Raynaud's do an ascorbate flush protocol figure out how much ascorbate you need daily and increase consumption of plant foods and tea with Ascorbate

Dr. Sircus's avatar

Yes Amor of Light I would start with hydrogen inhalation and also CO2 inhalation plus a full protocol. You should do a consultation with me.

Dear Dr Marik Dear Dr Justus You say "Because of their biology, sarcomas are a strong case for integrating repurposed therapies with conventional treatment from the outset." But no chemo works for angiosarcomas. So I believe that only an alternative care makes sense in such cases. Plus boosting immunity with Coriolus AHCC etc. Some natural oncologists recommend also Artesunant. Would you recommend it instead of IV C? And last there is no place for ivermectin and MCP in angiosarcomas? Thank-you for your answers

Sceptyk's avatar

Thank you very VERY much for all your work!!! And by the way, doesn't DanShen works a lot like Atorvastin and San Qi Ginseng (=Panax notoginseng =tienchi Ginseng) somewhat like Propranolol and the latter one could substitute propranolol to avoid side effects? Panax Notoginseng is a componrny of Yunnan Baiyao which used to be Chinese national secrete medicine.

Yes we do find it insulting, and in fact that is one of the big reasons that our organization was founded. Our founding doctors took issue with the so-called "hospital protocols" being used across America and other countries during COVID. We have developed our our treatment guides, and we updated them often, and encouraged feedback from the medical community.

Some great points and isn't it true? This really is a multi-faceted issue where all sides need a wakeup call!
