The 12 treatments I selected were

(1) Protocel
(2) Polymva
(3) Tianxian (Traditional Chinese Medicine)
(4) CDA-II (Chinese version of antineoplastons)
(5) Essiac (both Canadian and recent Chinese version)
(6) Hoxsey
(7) Cesium high pH treatment
(8) Gerson
(9) 714X
(10) TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine)
(11) Bioelectromagnetic treatment (e.g., Rife technology and Hulda Clark treatment)
(12) Treatment similar to the combination of laetrile, proteolytic enzymes, vitamin A and nutrition in the early Laetrile treatment.

Above 12 selections are not the only ones that should be included, but they are those that I am more familiar at present, and I would like to include more in the future that satisfy my 3 criteria: (1) availability (2) testimonials from the patients saved by the treatment, and (3) affordable treatment cost.

If the treatment is not available it is irrelevant to the patients.

Anecdotal testimonials are always needed in alternative cancer treatments because non-conventional treatments don't have the support of the industry to spend hundreds of millions of dollars in clinical trials. There are always evil people who introduce treatments that are not effective, purely to make money and to take advantage of the hopelessness of some patients. These treatments will not produce true testimonials and will just fade away. Therefore if the treatment is not effective there will not be enough testimonials to support it.

If the treatment is costly and is beyond the financial capability of the patient, it is better not to know about the treatment.

In the United States and other industrialized nations patients usually have health insurance to support the use of expensive conventional cancer treatments, the use of alternative treatments are mostly reserved for the terminal cases given up by the conventional oncologists because of the legal prohibition. I think if we can't make use of these effective alternative treatments at home that had been shown to save some cancer patients including the terminal ones, we should export these treatments to the third-world nations to save those cancer patients who cannot afford the expensive western conventional surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.

In the third-world nations most of the people don't have the health insurance to cover the high cost of the conventional cancer treatments, the alternative treatments may be the only hope for them. Introducing these alternative treatments that had shown effectiveness but is banned in the United States to the third-world nations is not only a humanitarian and charitable mission but will also benefit the patients in the United States. Success of these treatments in the third-world nations will surely have a beneficial repercussion in the United States.

When we introduce these alternative cancer treatments to the third-world nations we don't pretend to be able to cure cancer, what we want to tell the patients there is that we have many alternative cancer treatments in the United States that had shown effectiveness and had many testimonials of the patients saved by these treatments, these treatments are much less expensive than the conventional cancer therapies, if they can't afford the conventional treatments and are willing to try these alternative treatments we will give them all the available information, including self-treatment and clinics that practice these treatments where they can go for the treatments. We may even be able to find some charitable organizations to give the treatments to those poor patients free of charge.

The main challenge will be the selection of the most cost effective treatment or treatments for a particular cancer patient. Although I have narrowed down to only 12 kinds of treatments it is still a major challenge to the patient to select the best one. Therefore I would propose a three-month response screening program which may be summarized in the following:

(1) Volunteer to enroll in the program must be proven to be a current cancer patient.

(2) Although ultimately all 12 treatments will be available to the patients in the future, only a few selected ones will be available at the beginning because of the financial resource limitation.

(3) It is recommended that the patient should have a caretaker who is a licensed medical doctor or health professional who is well acquainted and experienced with alternative treatments. However, it is possible for some very well-informed and motivated patient to read and understand the selected treatment and self-treat.

(4) The treatment period in the program is three months.

(5) During the treatment period the patient should report everyday via email or other communication method the routine and non-routine events, such as the foods and drinks in the 3 daily meals and snacks, the medications and supplements, the usual feelings and the unusual feelings, the routine and non-routine personal events. The time, quantity, feelings such as pain, and some others should be detailed in the report. This is the most important responsibility of the patient to be included in the program. Without this report the program will lose half of its objective.

(6) The progress of the treatment may be judged based on some objective evidence such as the reduction of the tumor size. It may also be judged by the caretaker based on some subjective evidence.

(7) The key component used in the selected treatment is free of charge to the patient during the 3-month program.

(8) After the three month period the patients can continue their treatment on their own if they see good result, or stop the treatment if they don't see positive progress. For those who see very good result but really can't afford the treatment, they may continue the program depending on the financial resources of the research program.

Details of this research program need to be worked out. Presently there is a group of medical doctors and healthcare practitioners in the Philippines who are interested to start up this kind of research program, interested patients in the Philippines may email me to find out the plan.

If I can stop one Heart from breaking
I shall not live in vain
If I can ease one Life the Aching
Or cool one pain
Or help one fainting Robin
Unto his Nest again
I shall not live in vain
