Antineoplaston
In the middle of the seventies Dr. BURZYNSKI of the Baylor College of Medicine at the Texas Medical Center in Houston became interested in the antineoplastic effect of polypeptides. The work of his research team was financially backed by the USPHS NIH (grant no. CA 15056-02 and by the National Cancer Institute (grant no. CA 21624).
BURZYNSKI and his associates started by looking for a (hypothetical) endogenous biochemical substance - dubbed antineoplaston by him and his colleague Dr. STOLMANN - which would, independently of the immunological processes, protect the living organism from neoplastic development. These non-immunological processes might have a selective inhibiting effect on the growth of cancer cells and leave normal cells unaffected. BURZYNSKI regards the phenomenon of the spontaneous cure or regression of cancer as the proof of his hypothesis, i.e. that such endogenous biochemical substances exist. Spontaneous regressions occur in certain cases as a result of immunological processes (1). According to BURZYNSKI'S hypothesis this is, however, not always the case; there are other possible mechanisms. The substances which control these other non-immunological mechanisms are the antineoplastons.
BURZYNSKI finds proof of the existence of such a natural biochemical defence mechanism in numerous studies. For example, FREI (2) showed experimentally that an older epidermal tumor in mice regressed less than a more recent one, indicating a biochemical rather than an immunological process. FIBACH, LANDAU and SACHS (3) have moreover shown that a healthy spleen produces a MGI protein which can induce normal differentiation and maturation of myeloid leukemic cells. KOLBER, GOLDSTEIN and MOORE (4) showed that the nerve growth factor can induce the differentiation of human neuroblastoma cells. BURZYNSKI finds further proof of his hypothesis in numerous other experiments on co-cultures of normal as well as neoplastic
cells. LUSTIG and LUSTIG (5) were able to show with their experiments that chicken blastoderm in co-culture with sarcoma 180 and mammary carcinoma from mice can induce differentiation and loss of invasivity of neoplastic cells. Furthermore, cells from chicken embryo chorda induce differentiation in oesteogenic sarcoma. On the other hand osteogenic sarcoma cells in co-culture with bone marrow cells from patients with acute lymphocytic leukemia produced new neoplastic cells which separated from the parental cells, as DMOCHOWSKI and associates showed. (6)
BURZYNSKI bases the next step in his reasoning on experimental and theoretical findings upon which he does not elaborate: the biochemical substances sought (antineoplaston) are polypeptide in structure and are the easiest to isolate from urine. This is the theoretical line of thought which brought BURZYNSKI to his antineoplastons. The similarity with the H-11 preparation discovered 25 years previously and used therapeutically ever since is striking and not referred to anywhere.
In practice BURZYNSKI and associates isolates those components from urine which retard mitosis and DNA-synthesis in cancer cells (in oesteosarcoma, myeloblastic leukemia and HeLa cells) and leave the surrounding cells untouched. These are the antineoplastons, which at the time of writing (anno 1981) are being clinically tested in Houston and nowhere else in the world.

Gelum Oral RD®
All biochemical processes and virtually all enzymatic reactions in a normal healthy body, can usually only take place at specific pH values of blood and tissue (+ 7.35 for blood) have only a very limited tolerance (7.27 - 7.45 in blood).
The pH value is the measured value of the hydrogen ion concentration in an isoelectric stress field, which is the result of the dissociation of acids, bases, and salt molecules (1). The pH scale goes from 0 to 14, with 7 as the neutral point. pH's above 7 indicate alkalinity while those under 7 indicate acidity.
The natural buffer systems of the body ensure that the pH of blood and tissue remain within the normal (narrow) limits. Many syndromes show at their onset certain shifts in the body's buffer systems. After a time the buffering agent can no longer carry out its buffer function and the pH values will inevitably shift.
As I said at the beginning each enzymatic or biochemical process has its ideal pH. Slight changes in the pH lead first to quantitative changes in enzyme activity but will at a later stage induce a qualitative change (2). VON BREHMER (3), FREIHOFER (4), SEEGER (5), GOETZE (6), SZYLVAY (7), and others have shown, independently of one another, that in cancer patients there is nearly always (92 % of cases, according to FREIHOFER (8)) an upward shift in pH, or in other words towards increased alkalinity.
Normal oxygen supply to the cells is dependent on the physiological blood pH and a normal pO2 (oxygen pressure). In such normal circumstances an optimum amount of CO2 will be transferred from the blood to the alveolae, so that an adequate quantity of O2 is absorbed and bonded to the haemoglobin.When the cells give up their CO2 there is a local brief increase in H2CO3 concentration, causing the blood pH value to become slightly acidic and consequently furthering the giving up of O2 to the cell in accordance with the BOHR effect.
As has already been said, a shift in the blood buffer system will be preceded by an observable and quantifiable change in pH (using the "sanguinemeter" (9) of VON BREHMER). This shift in the buffer system will in the long term give rise to a pathological pH and cause the cell oxidation to go over into glycolysis, causing cancer. According to FREIHOFER, before any significant change in the blood pH becomes apparent a shortage of buffers such as phosphates and citrates will be apparent as a result of undernourishment (for example). The body will react by attempting to produce a substitute buffer, by overproducing carbonic acid. In the stage where the phospate-albumen-sodium buffer is disturbed by the excessive production of carbonic acid at the expense of the phosphate buffer, the pH of the blood will however not be altered. The metamorphosis of the blood buffer does, however, favour alkalosis and a consequent oxygen shortage. The BOHR effect referred to above will already be unfavourably influenced. This oxygen shortage resulting from shifts in the buffer system and the consequent fixing of carbonic acid as a substitute buffer mechanism, is according to FINZ and WECK (10) - in keeping with the tradition of WARBURG and others, the cause of metabolic disorders (11)
The more the alkalinity of the blood departs from the physiological equilibrium, the greater will be the O2 shortage in the cell. At a particular (critical) moment, an O2 danger threshold will be exceeded and the cell oxidation will go over into cell fermentation (12).It is while this latent hypoxemia is gradually developing, before there is any change in pH (and a fortiori before any tumor has developed) that therapy can, and should, be used with the greatest chance of success (13).
A further consequence of the alkaline development of the blood pH is the increase in the viscosity of the blood. This means that circulation speed falls and the passage of blood, particularly through the capillaries, is reduced. Psychic factors (such as anxiety and stress) and the resulting spasms lead to the narrowing of the blood vessels (particularly the capillaries). This reduces the volume of the circulated blood.
As a result of the fall in the volume and speed of the circulated blood, the transport speed of leucocytes and lymphocytes drops, with serious consequences for the body's defence mechanisms.
Contact between oxygen and cells is also slowed and metastases have more opportunities of colonizing particular areas.
Acting on the above arguments, an attempt has been made to formulate a potassium-iron-phosphate-citrate-buffer, sold under the name GELUM ORAL RD®, and then to study its effects on the formation and development of cancers, and metastasis first in laboratory animals and then clinically.
The experimental formulation of GELUM ORAL RD® contains, apart from potassium iron phosphate and potassium iron citrate, a dextrorotatory lactic acid (14), vitamin B complex, and a metabolic concentrate of substances which build up lactic acid.
1969 HOFMANN and SCHIEFER (15) of the Institute of Animal Pathology of Munich University investigated, under the guidance of Professor Dr SEDLMEIER, the buffer complex in rats with ascites hepatoma and Walker carcinosarcoma 256.
They could not observe any directly tumor destroying effects of GELUM ORAL RD®. They ascribed their significant therapeutic successes with the experimental preparation to the non-specific stimulation of the lymphatic system. Indeed they observed that in the group treated with GELUM ORAL RD® there was as an increase in lymphocytes in contrast with a fall in the number of lymphocytes in the control group, in other words the stimulation of the lymphatic system.In 1960 HOEPKE and SCHEPELMANN (19) observed the stimulation of the spleen and thymus in cancerous rats which they had fed with an acid substance (by adding NH4Cl to their water) and concluded that they could reduce the pH (make it more acid) by means of their acidic food additives.
As according to FREIHOFER (16) and DAMMINGER (17) GELUM ORAL RD® affects the blood pH, HOFMANN and SHLIEFER suggested that their favourable results (stimulation of the spleen and thymus and consequently the lymphatic system) could well be the result of acidification by influencing the pH.
In 1969 BRAUN, GERICKE, KOVAC, and SPANGLER (18) investigated, using laboratory animals at first, whether GELUM ORAL RD® a) had any effect on the occurrence of cancer and metastasis and b) acted as a non-specific stimulant of the immune system.
With respect to the latter the animal experiments of 1960 (HOEPKE and SCHEPELMANN) and 1969 (HOFMANN and SCHIEFER), merely provided evidence of the stimulation of the spleen and thymus (RES) and of the lymphatic system (leucotyse) respectively, without providing evidence of greater specific immunity. This was the object of these experiments.
As for a), the occurrence of cancer, these four Viennese cancer researchers show that fibrosarcoma development could be prevented by a treatment with GELUM ORAL RD® for 8 days prior to the inducement of tumor with 3 methylcholantrene and that when the experimental preparation was given after the tumor had been induced its development could at least be significantly slowed and delayed in comparison with the control group.
The action of GELUM ORAL RD® on the metastasis (as well as a)) was investigated with reference to Yoshida ascites hepatoma (AH 130 (16)) in rats. This could not be slowed or delayed using the experimental preparation (20).From the studies of HOEPKE and SCHEPELMANN (1960) and HOFMANN and SCHIEFER (1969) it could be expected (as working hypothesis) that the experimental preparation could, besides activating the RES and lymphatic system, further the stimulation of the immune system item b) above.
If GELUM ORAL RD® was capable of producing an immunostimulative effect, it should therefore be capable of preventing or at least moderating illness in the event of infection. On the other hand the experimental preparation should also have a favourable effect on the humoral defence mechanism, which according to BIELING (21) and GERICKE (22) is expressed as a transitory increase of the antibody titer.
Male white mice were infected with salmonella typhi murium after half of the mice had been given a preliminary treatment with the experimental preparation. There was no significant difference in the progression of the disease between the two groups. The number of mice which died of peritonitis and sepsis in both groups was virtually the same. In a second test the antibody titer of rabbits immunized against salmonella typhosa was measured. Whether these rabbits had been handled with GELUM ORAL RD® made no difference to the results of the test.
Disease can therefore not be prevented after infection nor can its symptoms be alleviated. Furthermore no anamestic reaction could be induced.
Encouraged by the ability of the experimental preparation to prevent tumor development upon tumor induction when administered in advance, or at least to slow development when administered after induction, as indicated by the fibrosarcoma induced in mice by 3-methylcholantrene described above, BRAUN et alia proceeded to carry out clinical tests with GELUM ORAL RD in the postoperative treatment of organic carcinoma of stomach and intestines.
The indicator of successful treatment used was the period of survival of the patients, as determined by internationally agreed standards.The extension of survival times (apart from the undeniable subjective improvements) was found to be highly significant and in their conclusions the 4 researchers argue for the widespread therapeutic application of the experimental preparation in battle against cancer, even though there is no complete explanation of the operating mechanism. Non-specific immunity must, however be ruled out.

Footnotes :(1) The pH is approximately the negative logarithm of the H+ concentration expressed as a molarity.(2) For example the enzyme will produce a different substance when the pH is not the same as that in physiological milieu. Consider the production of acetone in diabetes. In alkaline milieu acetic acid
(2 x CH3COOH + C2H5OH) will be created from CH3COCH2COOC2H5, while in a neutral solution acetone (CH3COCH3 + CO2 + C2H5OH) will be created. It is thus obvious that diabetes therapies will attempt to correct the blood buffer system in order restore ordinary enzyme function.(3) VON BREHMER, Siphonsata polimorpha, Linck Verlag, Haag/Amper (1947)

(13) This hypoxemia is according to FREIHOFER not only the prime cause of tumors, but also of numerous other diseases. Without, or with only a little, oxygen the liver cannot adequately carry out its detoxification function. Besides caring for the energy metabolism, the liver attends to the detoxification of the intestine, removing the poisonous metabolic products of the paracoli, i.e. indole, which accumulate in the intestine when blood pH is pathological. If it cannot or can only partially carry out this second function, small traces of toxins will enter the bloodstream and cause the most diverse diseases. By treating these diseases without taking the above into account, it is in FREIHOFER'S opinion ...........

(20) In their conclusions, however, the 4 researchers observe that this finding does not exclude all influence of the experimental preparation on metastasis. The research was after all carried out on an vigorously growing tumor (i.e. Yoshida-ascites hepatoma, see note (4) above) where the degree of metastasis depends on the number of implanted tumor cells. (see YOSHIDA T. in Virchow's Arch. 330, page 85, 1957). It is thus definitely possible - according to the conclusions of the 4 scientists - that the number of implanted cells was too great for GELUM ORAL RD® to have any effect.

Neoblastine®
Medication with the enzyme preparation NEOBLASTINE® attempts to achieve a triple object. This object consists a) of favourably influencing the physical constitution by stimulating all the body's metabolic processes; b) to halt mitosis and to break down intratumorally carcinoma containing substances to prevent migration and finally c) to bring about the lysis or necrosis of the cancer cells.
Prior to attacking the actual tumor the organ in which the tumor is embedded must return to performing its functions so that it can support the attack on the tumor itself.
The enzymes from the oxidation and lipid metabolism in the affected body are weakened. Moreover there is excessive protein production in the cancer tissue, and the andrenergic-cholinergic equilibrium in the body is disturbed. These four affected processes, which appear to be essential to the development of the cancer, are elucidated further below.1. Oxidation Metabolism
Many of the enzymes taking part in the oxidation metabolism are sulphhydryl enzymes. According to CRABTREE (1) the first development of a cancer consists of fixing the carcinogen to the sulphhydryl group (SH - group) of an enzyme protein. BARRON (2), DICKMANN and SINGER have demonstrated furthermore that ionizing radiation, ranging from X - rays up to and including ultra-violet rays lead to the irrevocable oxidation of the sulphhydryl groups.
Phosphorglyceraldehyde dehydrogenase and ATP-ase are also inactivated by this.
In turn GREENSTEIN and JENRETTE (3) have found that liver nucleoproteins possess free thiol groups. Myosin (ATP) and urease also have free thiol groups while papayine has only slow groups. The reactivity of these groups now depends on the distance in between the SH groups and the proximity of negatively charged groups.
There are three sorts of groups which are activated by these thiol groups:
a. pyuvic: these are hydrolitic enzymes such as amylase, cathepsin, carboxylase, and are often metallic or Mg proteins. The thiol groups form the link between the proteins and the metals.
b. oxidation-reduction enzymes. Most oxidizing and dehydro-genase enzymes belong to this category. Most of these are catalyzed by D.P.N. or flavoproteins. In this category the thiol groups transfer electrons from the substrate to the co-enzyme.
c. transfer enzymes, activated by ATP. This group includes the phospho-glucomutasen, ATP-ase, hexokinase, citrogenase, etc. In the transferases the thiol groups bond the proteins by means of co-enzymes.In the body these thiol enzymes are reactivated by glutothione or cystine, which themselves are both sulphhydryl compounds. They can reduce virtually all other SH enzymes because of their low redox potential. According to BARRON (3) the soluble thiol enzyme is one of the regulators of cell metabolism. During cell division the thiol content of the cell rise markedly until mitosis and then falls off again. Furthermore tumor cells, like embryo cells, have a high glutathion content.
As remarked above, in the first instance the carcinogen puts this sulphhydryl enzyme out of action with all the consequences that this involves.2. Lipid metabolism
The lipid metabolism is also weakened by cancer. According to GRIFFIN and others (4) tumor development is coupled to a shift in the lipids metabolism. It has been observed that tumors causes lipemia and a fall in the fatty acid content of the body. On the other hand it causes fatty acids to become even more unsaturated and thus influences the lipids metabolism, so that the ratio of saturated to unsaturated acids in the organism becomes the same as that in the tumor.
3. Protein production
The difference between the metabolism of normal and wild tissue, is that in the latter protein (albumen) synthesis is dominant. In non-pathological tissue there is an equilibrium between the production and breakdown of protein. This means that the enzyme systems (proteogenic and proteolytic) which govern the protein metabolism in normal tissue are also in equilibrium in normal tissue, but which in tumor tissue are used for protein production (5).
The factors which govern the protein mechanisms are not known with certainty. It may, however, be assumed that the destruction of protein by proteinase is catalyzed in normal cells. In wild tissue, however, it appears that this enzyme is present in its inactive proenzyme form, zymogen.What is certainly known is that the wild growth of primary tumours is stimulated by hypophysial growth hormone and by gonadotrophic hormone. The action of adrenalin controls the action of both hormones through the sympathetic nervous system.
In tumor tissue protein synthesis dominates which because of the influence of the redox potential makes bonding with cystine molecules impossible. This redox potential is, nevertheless, dependent on the pH. The question therefore is how to influence this intracellular pH to such an extent that the cystine bonding capacity can restore. The enzymes are organized in the intracellular space into functional groups in the cell organelles. The operation and direction of the reaction are determined by the surrounding ion ratios, that is to say by the pH of the organelles. These ion ratios are governed by local variations in permeability in the membranes of the organelles, resulting in the exchange of Na+, K+, Cl-, SO-. These exchanges cause considerable shifts in pH, and consequently bring about changes in the function of enzymes in the organelles. (see Gelum)
Now changes in membrane permeability are induced by the tissue hormones, adrenalin and noradrenalin, acetylcholine (precursor of the antineoplasmic choline), histamine and perhaps other as yet unknown ergones. Excessive adrenalin secretion can therefore stimulate the growth of cancerous cells through the process described above. In contrast choline has anti-carcinogenic properties. Basically therefore, the approach attempts to restore the adrenergic-cholinergic equilibrium, thus reducing adrenalin secretion (with all the consequences this has for pH, cystine bonding capacity, and so on) and stimulating choline synthesis. This is to be achieved by enzymatic means (NEOBLASTINE), as described below.Action of NEOBLASTIN*
The high glucose consumption (for energy) of the tumor leads to glucose deficiency in the non-cancerous tissue. In the long run the entire glycogenic reserves of the body are mobilized and slowly exhausted, so that the hydrolisis of proteins containing sugar and glycoproteins is stimulated in order to satisfy the demand of the cancer cells for sugar. Increasingly the tumor will increase the hydrolosis of glycoproteins. The products of this hydrolysis, i.e. amino and nucleic acids which are broken down by the liver and kidneys, can immediately be used by the tumor for cell synthesis.
The liver and kidneys are soon overburdened by the rising glycoprotein content. As a result they are only able to break down a small proportion of these hydrolisis products. The greater part of these metabolites are, however, used up by the primary and metastased tumors.
As the tumor uses both the glucose and the amino acids up, lipid production progresses only partially and with difficulty. From the above it is apparent that the mere stimulation of the organism with all its metabolic processes (with a view to improved oxidation, etc.), without taking simultaneous measures to reduces the energy demand of the cancer cells is a waste of time.
By stimulating the organism ATP and CTP reserves (the two stores of oxidizing energy) will probably rise and the synthesis to hydrolysis ratio of nucleoproteins and lipids could move towards a recovery, but the tumor will (also) profit from the improved conditions to grow (even) faster. It is therefore necessary to suppress the metabolism of the tumor and to stimulate the entire metabolism of the body (only) together with this.
By giving NEOBLASTINE*, and the complex of enzymes known as thioloxidase contained in it, the oxidizing sulphur metabolism is catalyzed and activating the sulphhydryl-enzymes. The numerous proteolytic (6) enzymes which form part of the SH enzyme group such as hydrolase, oxireductase, transferase, adenosine- phosphatase, amino-oxidase, amylase, asparaginase, catalase, hexokinase, and urease are stimulated. The tripeptide, glutathion, and the amino acid, cystine, are also stimulated. The experimental administration of thioloxidase to laboratory animals and clinical trials have shown that its action is primarily in the organ affected by the body, and not in the cancer tissue, where it has virtually no effect.
By administering (the sulphhydryl enzyme) monamin-oxidase (the second component of NEOBLASTIN*) direct action is taken against the tumor. The monaminoxidase given (only in present in very small quantities in cancer cell) is first activated (like the other sulphhydryl enzymes) by the thioloxidase. The monamin-oxidation physiolo-gically inactivates adrenalin by oxidative desamination, whereby intracellular pH shifts to its normal level, thus restoring the redox potential of the cancer cell so that cystine bonding with the intracellular zymogens can again take place. As a result these zymogens return to being active proteinase and which can resume the breakdown of protein by catalyzation in order to restore the original balance between the synthesis and breakdown of protein.
By administering monaminoxidase alone to laboratory animals (thus without the other components of NEOBLASTINE*) researchers have succeeded in making improvements to spontaneous tumors and postponing metastasis. However, by combining thioloxidase with the monaminoxidase administered to laboratory animals and human beings, an inhibiting effect on tumors and the reversal of migration has been observed.
The difference in effect on primary tumors and metastases, may well be related to the fact that primary cancers (rather like the foetus in the womb) are supplied by the hypophysis, while metastases are not.
Whatever the case may be the combined administration of thioloxidase and monaminoxidase have a synergic effect and is thus optimal.
Lipases in NEOBLASTINE* facilitate the penetration of the membrane of the cancer cell. These are necessary because without them the administered enzymes and the activated proteolytic enzymes would not be capable of penetrating the cancer cell. In this way the lipases support the breakdown of the cancer cells.Once the growth of the tumor has been brought to a halt by the damage to the cell and the reactivation of all the body metabolites the tumor will in many cases be reabsorbed by the organism.
If this is not the case, toxic breakdown products and wastes will arise as a result of the disintegration of the cancer tumour. Monaminoxide and glucoron acid promotes detoxification.
To sum up: we can say that the monaminoxidase inactivates the adrenalin, leading to a shift in intracellular pH towards the natural physiological pH. As a result the thioloxidase can catalyze the bonding between intracellular proteinase and consequently stimulate the breakdown of protein.
The lipases assist with the breakdown of cell. In non-pathological cells the sympa-thetic and parasympathetic mechanisms this process continues until a certain equilibrium is achieved, while in cancer cells, where sympathetic and parasym-pathetic mechanisms are absent or have been neutralized, breakdown continues until nothing remains.Composition

The WIEDERMANN cure
Background
In order to place the WIEDERMANN cure in its historic context, we must go back to the distant origins of cell implantations for therapeutic purposes and the Russian Doctor and Surgeon, VORONOFF, whom we have already referred to in the introductory chapter on cell therapy (1).
The WIEDERMANN cure itself can indeed be thought of as a type of cell therapy and in this chapter we will see to what extent this is so.
Another Russian, the zoologist, Ilya Ilyich MESCHNIKOV (1845 - 1916), a disciple and colleague of the famous chemist and microbiologist Louis PASTEUR, was the first to point out the important role of connective tissue in regenerating organisms. The same MESCHNIKOV also deserves the credit for formulating the hypothesis that small amounts of serum from the phagocyte system such as antigens, should influence the function of the organism by acting on the phagocytes. The latter being produced in the RES.
Professor Alexander BOGOMOLENZ (1881 - 1946) a pupil and disciple of MESCHNIKOV and made it the centre of his studies. In 1925 he compounded a RES serum, which he extracted from the spleen and the marrow of the breastbone of the bodies of young persons who had been dead no longer than 6 hours. He injected this extract of spleen or breastbone marrow in a solution of physiological serum into horses, donkeys, or rabbits. The blood of these animals immediately began to produce antitoxins to the injected human substances and subsequently a serum was extracted from the blood which became known as BOGOMOLENZ serum. The serum as such was toxic to cells, and consequently he described it as reticulo-endothelial cytotoxic serum. In accordance with homeopathic principle he observed that his serum had an ambivalent dose dependent effect. By thinning the serum he came to a level below which the toxin was no longer toxic, and where medication will remain below the toxic threshold. In subtoxic doses the same toxins should have a reverse effect. According to ARNE-SCHULZE their effect would be the stimulation of the cell, resulting in its regeneration. This proved to be so. When the serum was used in highly diluted (subtoxic) doses BOGOMOLENZ achieved positive results.BOGOMELENZ observed that cancer could not arise in an organism in which the physiological reactivity of the connective tissue had been maintained at a healthy level.
BOGOMOLENZ gave a full definition and description of the action of his serum at the XVth International Physiological Congress at Leningrad and Moscow, as well as pointing out the great therapeutic possibilities his serum held out for the future. His attempt to gain greater attention for this discovery at the New Jersey Cancer Congress received scant attention.
After the Second World War he and his serum suddenly received widespread international attention when a gravely injured army captain lying in a military hospital close to Rubischev made a spectacular and complete recovery after being treated with the BOGOMOLENZ serum. This recovery hit the world's headlines as the "Miracle of Rubischev".
In 1950 Professor BARDACH, a colleague of BARDACH's working in Paris, succeeded in drawing attention to serum cures.
These efforts left a positive impression on Dr Fritz WIEDERMANN, a German practitioner. Together with a several respected serologists, including Professor MENK, he developed the two multiple organ specific serums (Organ-Combi-Serum I and II) which would come to be known as the WIEDERMANN cure.
Thirty years of experience have to date yielded about 100,000 descriptions of therapies making use of the WIEDERMANN cure.Organ-Combi-Serum
The original BOGOMOLENZ serum worked exclusively with connective tissue which, as we have already said, was the be all and end all of his scientific interest.
WIEDERMANN's Organ-Combi-Serum I is the integral BOGMOLENZ serum, enriched with serums from the heart, liver, and arteries, to which homeopathic agents for improving the circulation, such as Lachesis mutus and Viscum album have been added.
Organ-Combi-Serum II contains a mixed serum for all organs, strengthened with skin and kidney serum.
Beside the original generation of Organ-Combi-Serums, the WIEDERMANN therapy now offers simple monospecific organ preparations, such as joint, skin, brain, liver, lung, adrenal, kidney, ovarian, pancreatic, prostate, thyroid, testes, and thymus serums which can be used for all sorts of illnesses in order to back up the function of specific deficient organs.
In cancer only the immunostimulative Organ-Combi-Serums are used, apart from peroral thymus and enzyme tablets.Thymus Tablets
The relatively recent work of GOLDSTEIN and SANDBERG (2) has shown that thymus hormones play a vital role in the body's defence system, implying that the thymus is a primary organ in the immune system (centre of T lymphocytes).
The thymus preparation of the WIEDERMANN firm consists of freeze-dried thymus extract. If the immune system has been weakened, it is recommended that thymus extracts should be given as well as the two combi-serums.Enzyme Tablets
When applied to cancer the WIEDERMANN cure also uses an enzyme preparation in the form of tablets. The necessity of using enzymes in cancer therapy has been discussed in detail in the relevant sections, to which we refer the reader (3).
Action of Organ-Combi-Serum preparations
The WIEDERMANN serum treatment is a biological cure. The tinest amounts of the medicine (with antibodies produced mainly in animals) have a direct effect on the sensitive defence mechanism (RES, DNA, RNA, and the immune system) of the specific, or of all the, organs; with the result that this organ, or organs, return to their normal level of function. This leads in turn to the an improvement in the functioning of the entire body. By regeneration is understood recovery or improvement as a result of the normalization and revitalization of the body's functions. The antibodies, injected in mini-doses (or greatly diluted) (4), elicit two immune responses. These are a) the reaction determined by the antibodies themselves and b) the reaction caused by the antigen effect of the heterozoic proteins. The tangible results of the Wiedermann cure objectively measured with reference to complement contents (5) and a series of metabolic processes (such as free heparine in the blood, sugars in the saliva, amino sugars, and so on) and experienced subjectively by the patient as an improvement in his general condition, are first seen a month after therapy has begun and reach an optimal level 3 to 4 months after beginning the therapy. The cure can be restarted, but only six months later.
A final word on the organotropic action of Organ-Combi-Serums, although the reader is referred primarily to the chapter on ... where this organotropic property is dealt with in detail. Animals were first used for investigating the ability of polyvalent Organ-Combi-Serum I and II to bring about organotropic revitalization, and has been confirmed by radioactive tracers and post-mortem histological analyses. The serums were capable of bringing about organ-specific regeneration in the examined animals.
One trial in animals was particularly convincing. The investigators succeeded in totally revitalizing an atrophied ovary which could not ovulate and restoring its function with an ovary-organ preparation. Success was also recorded with an atrophied liver which was restored to a normal healthy histological appearance using liver-organ preparation.
These experiments have been confirmed in clinical trials and objective tests in laboratory examinations and other suitable parameters.Composition :

Beetroot (juice) as cancer therapy
Background
Dr Sandor (Alexander) Ferencz of Csorna is generally acknowledged as having pioneered of the use of beetroot (beta vulgaris cruenta rubra) as a cancer therapy in 19...
The fact that beetroot has remarkable therapeutic properties was known in antiquity, and Dr Ferencz was really only continuing a long tradition begun by the fathers of medicine. Known to Hippocrates, Galenus, and Dioscorides, the beetroot first came to the attention of western europeans via Paracelsus, (Philipp Theophrastus Bombast von Hohenheim) who described it in 1540. The therapeutic properties of beetroot were ascribed to its ability to strengthen the blood and combat fever, with the result that beetroot was used to treat numerous illnesses.
Closer to our own times is the university professor J.F. OSIANDER of Göttingen, who mentioned that beetroot was used to treat tumors of the nose in a book on folk medicine published in 1826. By 1929 the German doctors FARBERSE and SCHOENENBERGER were using beetroot therapeutically.
The Hungarian Professor Bakay of the University of Budapest carried out experiments in 1939 (long before Dr Ferencz) on 72 patients suffering from cancer or leukemia in his clinic in the Hungarian capital. He observed regression of the tumors, increases in weight and improvement in the general condition of his patients.
Jewish doctors have also long been aware of the therapeutic properties of beetroot. Even in the Talmud Rabbi Chanina and Rabbi Jochanan recommend "eating beetroot, drinking mead and bathing in the Euphrates".
The Mexican J. ERDOS writes that during a journey through North Africa in 1939 he met a healer in the Atlas Mountains who had studied Tropical Medicine in Paris, and who claimed to have successfully treated malignant tumors with beetroot. ERDOS also writes that he met a healer in Yugoslavia who stated quite categorically that in the regions where large quantities of beetroot are eaten "fatal necroses of the stomach and lung are unknown".Effect and Action of Beetroot
In 1918 WILSTTATER and SCHUDL called the dye in beetroot "betanin" and they assigned it to the nitrogenless anthocyans, although they were well aware of its fundamental differences from that group (which is why they called it betanin - betanin, which does contain nitrogen, does not undergo the characteristic red to violet-blue colour change which anthocyans in acid solution undergo when added sodium makes the solution basic.
A second fundamental difference from the anthocyans is that betanin has no isomers. Swiss researchers at the Institute of Organic Chemistry of the University of Zurich, Dr. DREIDING, MARBY and WYLER (1) were able to produce a crystalline form of the betanin dye in 1963. Further research allowed them to place it among the betacyans. These substances are red nitrogenous dyes from the Betalaine group. Nearly all betalaines have 3 carboxyl groups, which according to the findings of the Hungarian Nobel Prize Winner Professor Szent GYORGI (1938) act as oxyreductase in the cell and thus restore cell respiration and considerably improve the interrupted synthesis of nucleic acid.
According to SEEGERS mechanism by which beetroot acts is the absorption of hydrogen from the peroxydases which are present in beetroot (1).
Betacyan dyes are recognized as being significant acceptors of hydrogen because they can accept 4 H atoms and 1 O atom from the betanidine, resulting in the conversion of betanidine into neobetanidine.
In 1963 Dr Tyuhak, a Hungarian, working at the Budapest Institute of Medicinal Plants revealed that beetroot contained 14 amino acids, nine of which he was able to identify, and which include leucine, triptophane, valine, alamine, tyrosine, glutamine, and ornithine.
Using chromotography he also showed that there was an alkaloid called allantoine present in beetroot.
The Rumanian Professor CONSTANTINESCU discovered that this alkaloid had an antitumor effect in 1961.
Moreover in 1961 he demonstrated the presence of a farnesol, a sesquitepenalcohol, in beetroot and in 1964 detected the presence of choline.
Apart from the absorption of 4 H atoms by the betacyan dye (see above), allantoine can fix 2 H atoms, while farnesol can fix 6 H atoms, a total of 12 H atoms.
Beetroot moreover contains numerous minerals (Na, K, Mg, Ca, PO4, SO4, Cl), trace elements (SiO3, Fe, Cu, Mn, F, J) and vitamins (beta-carotin, vit. K, B1, B2, B6, nicotinic acid, ascorbic acid or vitamin C, rutine or vitamin P) (3)The vitamin C in beetroot improves the hydrogen acceptance as well as cell respiration, so that it can easily be oxidized and reduced (4) resulting in the acceptance of 2 H atoms.
The high vitamin P content (rutine, a flavon derivate) is very useful in improving the permeability of the cell wall and also has the ability to fix 2 H atoms. This means that the five active components of beetroot (betanidine, allantoine, farnesol, vitamins C and P) can fix 16 H atoms, which possibly is the explanation for the greatly improved cell respiration (about 70%) after administering beetroot.
By adding dextrorotatory lactic acid (5) and extra vitamin C (6) (or other citric acids) to beetroot cell respiration can be increased by between 400 and 1000% , improving cell respiration to almost normal levels.
SEEGER and SCHACHT (1960) were the first to investigate the effects of beetroot on the respiration of cancer cells, making use of the BIOFLUX electrochemical oxygen meter (7).
All tests have shown that cell respiration in vitro can be normalized by beetroot containing peroxydase (less marked effect) and by beetroot not containing peroxydase but mixed with dextrorotatory lactic acid, citric acids or vitamin C (more marked effect).
Furthermore the large quantities of trace elements in beetroot ensure a good supply of minerals to the deficient (demineralized) cancer cells. The high phosphate content of beetroot encourages phosphatide synthesis (lecithine type) (8) while the high silicon content stimulates the mesenchyme and the body's defence mechanisms.____________________________________________________

Integral Fasting Therapy
Background
Fasting therapy in its modern form begins with Dr Jennings (1), who more or less accidentally came across fasting therapy in a search for more effective cures after being disappointed with medication therapies. Dr TRALL (2), S. GRAHAM (3) after 1832, Dr SHEW (4) and many others also used fasting cures as a therapy.
However, it is Dr Eduard Hooker DEWEY (5) and Dr S. TANNER who are correctly or incorrectly regarded as being the founders of fasting therapy, and who began using fasting on a systematic basis in the mid-nineteenth century.
Fasting therapy spread fairly quickly. In 1908 Hereward CARRINGTON's (6) book on the subject was published, and in 1915 we find Frederick M. ALLEN of the Rockefeller Institute Hospital using fasting to treat diabetes.
In 1923 Professor Sergius MORGULIS of the University of Nebraska (USA) published a book about fasting, which came to be widely accepted, and in which he details the effects of fasting on laboratory animals. In this book he intentionally ignores the therapeutic applications of fasting implemented by his predecessors. For example he makes no mention of JENNINGS, GRAHAM, TRALL, DENSMORE (7), WALTER, DEWEY, TANNER, HASKELL, McFADDEN (8), SINCLAIR, HAZZARD, TILDEN, EALES, RABAGLIATI (9), KEITH (10), and many other users of fasting therapies, and quotes only from CARRINGTON (11).In 1925 a book appeared by C.M. JACKSON (12), which again dealt with the technical aspects of fasting (in fact the withdrawal of nourishment) without mentioning any practitioners of fasting therapies other than CARRINGTON.
Dr Herbert M. SHELTON (13), the leading representative of the Natural Hygiene School, continued, in the tradition of the therapists of the previous century, with his fasting therapy.
Natural hygiene is, according to SHELTON, first and foremost a way of life and is a cure only in the second instance, based on the biological sciences in the sense of a true life science. This life science, or health science, must be based on the study and application of the true requirements of the living being. It can in no case consist of the search and application of remedies without any reference to the normal requirements of life.
Fasting is exactly that: a requirement (long not recognized as such) of the living organism, on an equal footing with air, light, nutrition (equal and not taking precedence), rest, and so on.
Dr SHELTON and his many disciples used fasting as a biological rest period for the organism, so that the personal life force could recover sufficiently to regenerate injured tissue and recover its health.Sir William Arbuthnot Lane, a British doctor and surgeon, and former doctor to the British Royal Household, ascribed the cause of cancer (as well as other diseases) to intoxication, primarily to an incorrect diet. In the nervous patient, who usually is already in a toxic state, the food is not digested, but instead rots, to be absorbed via the intestinal wall into the organism so that the toxemia is further reinforced and increased. Another British doctor Ernest H. TIPPER suggested that incorrect combinations of foods such as proteins and sugars, are a source of rotting in the gastro-intestinal system and thus form the primordial source of cancer because they cause intoxication.
Whatever the case may be, cancer arises a result of (food) intoxication. This intoxication, which may or may not be associated with external irritation (such as irritation of the stomach by salt, and so on), stimulates the inherent asexual reproductive capacities of the tissue, which reacts by exhibiting exceptional defensive reactions. For example when irritated the tissue, whether intoxicated or not, will tend to harden and thicken as a first defensive measure in the irritated or intoxicated organ, or in an organ which is congenitally disposed to the growth of a tumor (1) as a result of carcinogenic diathesis (analgous to hemorrhagic diathesis).
When intoxication continues, the local normal cells are no longer able to resist the attack of toxins, and not only are the routine defensive mechanisms put into action, but the human nature will throw its most powerful weapons into the battle. Its first action will be to erect a barrier of connective tissue. If the attack of toxins continues this barrier will continue to grow so that this growing tumor is large enough (which is very small from the point of view of early diagnosis) to become itself a source of intoxication. What originated as a defensive mechanism of the body grows slowly (for years in a precancerous state) into a tumor which itself acts as an intoxicator, closing the vicious circle.
TILDEN gives an example of the origin of a cancerous condition. A young woman suffers from intestinal indigestion as a result of a careless diet. Subsequently she suffers from a series of recurring colds with irritation of the mucous membranes. Fairly soon fermentation arises in the intestine, which is absorbed by the intestinal mucous membrane and has an inflammatory effect. The lymphatic system of the pelvis also becomes affected and as the mucous membranes of the uterus and cervix also become congested, the menses become longer and heavier. As a result the menses are painful, and become worse every month until (at long last) a doctor is consulted. The latter observes a prolapse of the uterus as a result of thickening on one side of the womb, causing the other side to be displaced. The more the organ thickens and hardens on one of its sides, the more difficult bleeding will be and the more the cervix will hang down, thus making the menstrual flow increasingly difficult. The prolapsed part of the womb will become increasingly cut off from its supply of blood and consequently from nutrients, while the hypertrophied part of the organ will receive an excess. However, the return of blood from that part is not enough to remove all the waste, so that a part settles there, and favours intoxication as well as hypertrophy. The human organism will then attempt to organize this surplus of waste. The result is called a fibromyoma.According to the hygienists a person who keeps his health up to standard through healthy living and eating habits, and thus never allows intoxication to arise in his body will therefore never develop cancer. If we consider cancer as the end of a progressive pathological process which begins with an incorrect diet, it is no longer necessary to look for a specific carcinogen for each form of cancer in order to find a defencefor it. If the formation of areas favourable to cancer is avoided, cancer can be prevented. It is the nutrient dependent area which determines sensitivity to cancer. By way of illustration it is enough to remember that by no means all heavy smokers will develop lung cancer. Sensitivity, disposition, and site are the essentials. The thousands of carcinogenic substances which, even if one were to be a lifelong carcinophobe, cannot be avoided are of lesser significance.
Fasting Therapy
The fast involves the drastic withdrawal from the body all further external sources of intoxication. Subsequently the body only has to deal with the toxins produced by the tumor. In fasting the various functional tissues feed on the food reserves stored in the body as glycogen, fat, and proteins, which are not immediately available but which must first be fermented before being released into the bloodstream. The process whereby the body disintegrates and digests its own tissue by enzymes contained in the tissues themselves is known as autolyse, or self-digestion. During the transition from tadpole to frog the tadpole does not eat but draws its energy from the absorption of its own tail, which is reduced to fatty acids and amino acids.
All tissue contains autolytic enzymes (including oxidases, and peroxidases). Stored energy (fats, glycogen, proteins) must first be digested by autolytic enzymes before they can enter the bloodstream and thus become available to the organism.
When the fasting body has used up its own reserves and exhausted them, the organism draws on the less vital tissues as a source of energy, such as proteins in the bones. The more vital organs such as the heart and brain are left untouched. Tadpoles absorb their tails but no other organs. This is a form of controlled autolysis (i.e. unconsciously controlled by the body). Other forms of controlled autolysis in life are accepted without question, such as the atrophy of the uterus after pregnancy, and the atrophy of the thymus in puberty. In pathological conditions this controlled autolysis will in the first place be directed towards pathological tissues, such as tumors, and these will be the first candidates for digestion during periods of strict fasting, the length of which will depend on the size of the tumor. Tumors are indeed composed of tissue similar to that of the other structures of the body and are certainly not vital.
The absorption speed of the tumors depends on a variety of factors:
- general condition of the patient;
- the surplus in the body which has to be absorbed before the tumor will be drawn upon as a source of energy;
- tumor type: spectacular results are often achieved with tumors of the uterus and breast;
- hardness of the tumor: the softer the tumor the more quickly results will be seen;
- environment of the tumor
- age of the patient.There are, however, two limitations on the application of fasting therapies to cancer. When the tumor is very large a series of fasts spread over a number of years must be prescribed, while tumors on the lymphatic system continue to grow despite fasting as they draw on the lymph as nourishment.
A last word on the pain caused by cancer. The terrible pains experienced by cancer sufferers are ascribed by SHELTON and his fellow hygienists to a) the sedatives and b) "eating to keep the patient's strength up". Forced feeding and medication (in SHELTON's view chemical and "natural" medication are equally bad) make the pain worse so that the cancer patient begs to be allowed to die so that he or she is relieved from the pain. There is only one way of preventing the pain: to stop feeding and medication. By giving a little fruit juice and young vegetables the patient will feel relieved and be able to spend the last weeks of his life with a lucid mind.What Does Fasting Consist of?

The Iron Cancer Cure
Background
The Austrian faith healer, R.A. HOFFMANN, is responsible for this cancer cure.
When he discovered that he was suffering from a (medically diagnosed) non-operable lung cancer with skin, tongue and genital metastases, he started looking for an alternative therapy in order to escape radiation therapy and certain death.
From his practise as a faith healer he was acquainted with a number of cancer diets (such as the KUHL diet) and certain biological cancer therapies (such as WOBE MUGOS, beetroot juice, etc.). He therefore first developed a coherent therapy for himself (he had worked out the basic plans two years pre¨viously in order to help his assistant who was also suffering from cancer, but who eventually refused help and later died) (1).
After his spectacular cure he made his therapy universally known in the form of a book, giving all details, such as (his own) formulas for preparations, addresses of manufacturers of (biological) medicines used in his cure (2).The Iron Cancer Cure
The iron cancer cure consists of two parts, the second part being split up into eight cures.
I. Iron cure, part I - six weeks.
a. Components :
- iron (medical) remedies, capsules and drops :
R/ Herba Conii pulv. 0.01
Chininum sulf. 0.02
Magnesium sulf. 0.09
Cortex Chinae pulv. 0.01
Carbo Betulae pulv. 0.01
Saccharum lactis 9.00
misce fiat caps.gelat. No.XLR/ Guajacolicum valerian. 0.50
Oleum olivarum 9.50
This iron remedy is central to the treatment. It must however be taken in the way described later on in the cure - no more, no less, and with exactly the same frequency (3).
The cure was indeed put together by HOFFMANN but, as he readily admits, it is based on Dr. SALZBORN's INOPERAN preparation (4).- Cancer elixir :
ingredients :
1000 gr biologically grown beetroot
250 gr biologically grown carrots
250 gr biologically grown celery
1 medium sized apple without the core
30 gr biologically grown black radishesmethod of preparation: place all ingredients, washed but not peeled, in an (electric) juicer. Strain the juice through a tea strainer. Shortly before taking, 15- 25 drops of whey concentrate into an individual coffee cup (see later on) and then fill the cup with elixir (not the other way round).
- common horsetail and marigold tea (equisetum arvense and calendula off.) (daily dose 1 1/2 litres).
method of preparation: sprinkle three dessert spoons tea (alternate daily, never mix) into 1 1/2 litres of boiling water and strain after (one) minute maximum and pour into one (or two) thermos flasks to be used during the day (never cold or reheated).
- muesli : complete abstention from food during part 1 of the cure (first six weeks) is the ideal and this produces the most spectacular results. If this seems unbearable see the energy giving muesli recipe, of which the patient - in accordance with the principle of the SALZBORN diet - may take 1 to 2 (maximum) dessert spoonfuls once an hour. A certain amount of hunger is unavoidable and a loss of weight (from 5 to 15 kg) during this first part of the cure is expected and need therefore be neither alarming nor frightening.
- heart strengthening: choice of VIRICORIN, CRA-LONIN and (in the event of a weak heart) MIROTON, will be referred to later on.
- important: change position of bed, according to .... theory, described in ...
b.Iron cure, Part I, six weeks
The following plan should be followed for six weeks :
Monday : from 9 a.m. onwards, once an hour, every hour, sip a coffee cup of elixir until empty (with 15- 25 drops of whey concentrate previously added) and continue this until 7 p.m. Throughout the whole day a total of approx. 3/4 litre elixir should be taken.
Immediately after the elixir 2 coffee cups of warm common horsetail tea from the thermos flask is drunk.
Only half an hour later may the patient eat no more than 3 spoonfuls of muesli, which must be thoroughly chewed and wetted with the saliva. If the hunger is unbearable a maximum of 3 dessert spoon-fuls of muesli may consumed once an hour, every hour after 7 p.m. (if one cannot sleep) (or even a mouthful of full-bodied food).
Also, take 20- 30 drops of the heart strengthening cordial 4 times per day.
Before going to bed rub the trunk and limbs with olive oil and put on 100 % cotton pajamas with long sleeves and legs.
Tuesday : start the day by rubbing the trunk and limbs using a flannel soaked in French brandy (even if the olive oil has been completely absorbed by the skin).
9am- 7pm: elixir, see Monday.
tea, this time marigold tea plus muesli : see Monday
heart strengthening cordial : ditto
rubbing in olive oil: ditto
Wednesday : Rub with French brandy.
The rest is the same as Monday.
In addition : at 5.30 p.m. (after muesli, if any) 1 iron capsule plus 1 drop of iron remedy with 1 to 3 mouthfuls of coffee or black tea. Taking coffee is very excep-tional and of importance because it stimu-lates the adrenal gland at the moment the iron remedy is taken. (4)
Thursday : as Tuesday
Friday : as Monday
Saturday : as Tuesday
Sundays : as Monday
In addition: iron remedy . at 9.30 a.m. (after muesli, if any) 1 capsule + 1 drop in coffee or black tea.This plan is followed for a total of six weeks , the iron being taken only on Wednesdays and Sundays.
At the same time the bowels should be opened daily. If not a lukewarm camomile enema should be administered and held up for between 5 and 15 minutes.
After six weeks cure a week's pause during which all medicine, except the heart cordial are put aside and a gradual changeover is made to the new diet plan, details of which are given below.
II. Iron Cancer Cure, part II
In the second part of the cure,a cancer hostile menu is foreseen and should be followed to the letter.
Reproduced below is a day's menu taken from the multiple-natural foods diet plan.07.30 hours 1 cup herbal tea (made from one or more herbs) - 1/4 l. boiling water poured over 1 teaspoonful, allow to draw for 1 minute maximum (after 1- 2 weeks the tea may be allowed to draw to up to 15 minutes).
08.00 a small breakfast of wholemeal muesli (see recipe in the Salem cookery book) biolo-gically grown fresh fruit, especially apple.
10.00 a glass of fresh juiced beetroot or carrot juice mixed with 15- 25 drops of whey concentrate and 1 teaspoon pollen. If very hungry a slice of wholemeal bread and butter is allowed.
12.00 hours small dish of raw salad stuff (see Salem cookery book under savoury recipes).
13.00 small midday meal of wholemeal pap, soup or soufflé; natural rice or vegetables and potato dish (see savoury midday recipes in cookery book) 1 to 2 dessert spoonfuls cold pressed linseed oil, best taken during the meal, directly in the mouth.
Alternate this with 1- 2 dessert spoonfuls fresh brewers' yeast.
15.00 200 gr curdled milk + 1- 2 teaspoons whey concentrate
Perhaps 1/2 slice whole meal bread and butter.
17.00 small evening meal selected from the 190 pages of the Salem cookery book.
20.30 1 cup herbal tea sweetened with 1- 2 teaspoons of honey from the bee- keeper. In this second part of the cure only the small meals described may be eaten.
It is a fundamental part of the cure and every deviation can significantly decrease the chances of recovery. Meat, poultry, fish and eggs are absolutely forbidden and the only sweeteners allowed are fructose and pure unadulterated honey in limited amounts. As already mentioned, the second part of the cure is divided up into 8 cures six weeks long with a week's pause between each cure.Cure 1, six weeks
Sundays During the first three weeks out of the six, 1 capsule of UTILIN S_ is taken on an empty stomach.
Food and drink must be delayed for 4 hours after it has been taken (1 capsule per week). Four drops of MUCOR RACEMOSUS/ ASPERGIL-LUS NIGER D 5 must also be taken daily (except on Sundays): allow four drops to fall on the back of the hand and lick off with a (clean) tongue. This must not be done too close to mealtimes.
10th week On the Sundays of the 4th, 5th and 6th weeks a capsule of UTILIN S FORTE is taken as described instead of UTILIN S (5). The dosage of the other substance MUCOR RACEMOSUS/ASPERGILLUS NIGER D 5 is doubled from four to eight drops, unless there is an unfavourable reaction. The 4 x 20 drops per day of the heart strengthening cordial should be continued with.
13th week The cure ends after 6 weeks with a week's break,
14th week stopping all medication (except the heart cordial) and continuing only with the diet plan.

Further remedies
According to HOFFMANN the therapist can also combine the following with the cure :
REVITORGAN preparations (6)
RECKEWEG's (7) auto-sanguis-cure
RES D3, Mesenchym D 3 and Funinculus umbilic. D 3 from WALA (8) combined in an ampoule with COLCHICUM COMPC. from the firm of HEEL (9).
Enzyme irrigations with MUCOS preparations (10).
How it works
The ways the numerous biological medicines used in the cure work are so varied and numerous that to discuss them would be impracticable.
We thought it more advisable to discuss the cure in more detail (its practical aspects) at the cost of the way it works, which we will have to summarize.
Iron remedy
As already stated, this was inspired by Dr. SALZBORN's INOPERAN and contains herbs, the anti-cancer properties of which have long been known.
Cancer- Elixir (11)
The cancer combating power and effect of the main ingredient (beetroot juice) has already been described in detail in the relevant chapter (12)
The purpose of the whey concentrate is to lower (make acid) the pH of the blood. We have already paid close attention to this earlier on in the book and refer you to the relevant chapter (11).
Utilin S
The S-form is the acid-proof form of UTILIN. This remedy is the (much disputed) anti-tuberculosis remedy developed by the Jewish professor, Dr. FRIEDMAN in the thirties. HOFFMAN rediscovered the remedy for treating chronic illnesses (including cancer) following in the footsteps of Dr. Freiherr VON SELD.
MUCOR RACEMOSUS /ASPERGILLUS NIGER D 5_
This medicine is made up according to the directions of Professor ENDERLEIN (14) who was at loggerheads with Prof. FRIEDMANN for years. Both disagreed on many points, but that is not relevant here. ENDERLEIN's discovery remains much disputed till this day.
Both remedies (in combined treatment) have an empirically observable regression effect on tumors and at the same time stimulate the body's defence system. ENDERLEIN starts from the principle that bacteria and viruses are only the development phase of an essentially benignparasite present in all living beings.
Depending on whether the lifestyle is healthy or otherwise and under the influence of other stimuli affecting the organism, the development of this parasite may take a malignant turn or remain in the primitive benign condition. ENDERLEIN distinguishes between 3 phases of development: the (non-pathological) primitive state, the bacterial phase and the mycological phase (fungal phase).
ENDERLEIN's discoveries were threefold:1) the cell is not the smallest unit of living substances;
2) blood is not sterile;
3) and bacteria go through a scientifically ascertainable develop-ment cycle, a fact completely ignored by bacteriologists.It is this last cycle which is of primordial importance and Prof. SCHADERL (from Geisenheim) is on record as saying that in future bacteriology would be divided into two eras - before and after ENDERLEIN - because his discovery was so fundamen¨tal.
NAFTALAN and OLEASAN
HOFFMAN's attention was drawn to these two oil-based remedies by the sensational recovery from cancer of an Austrian butcher's wife, Paula Ganner, which made the headlines in Austria in 1969, after she was apparently cured of cancer after being treated with petroleum (in homeopathic D 2 solution).
NAFTALAN_ is Oleum petra (petroleum), the tumor regressing property of which, had been empirically observed by HOFFMAN and others.OLEASAN_ is the fraction, paraffinum subliquidum DAB 7, obtained from petroleum when distilled above 360_C and to which a variety of anti-cancer properties are attributed. This remedy was introduced to therapy by the MAZDAZNAN movement (15) under the name Petrolatum (16). Apart from being effective against cancer, OLEASAN is has no taste or smell, does not affect the mucus membranes and dissolves intestinal gases.
RECARCERIN
Is a remedy which is made out of non- pathological health bacillus Sa.C.501, which is found at large in our environment.
The bacillus is also found in the body, mainly in mucus- membrane lined hollow spaces in organs. It fulfils a natural antibiotic function and stimulates the body's defence mechanism.Areas of application of iron cure.
All cancers and leukemia. The cure cannot be reconciled with the cycostatic and radiation therapies of conventional medicine.

Footnotes :
(1) HOFFMANN's book "So besiegte ich den Krebs", is indispensable when following the course of treatment as it refers to small but essential details which might at first appear to be unimportant.
(2) Dr Eduard SALZBORN practised 1914 in 1940 in Bockfliess near Vienna and successfully treated cancer patients with "INOPERAN" and his diet, the essence of which is was that instead of putting patients on the optimal strict fast, he gave them, and here lies his originality, minimal meals of of 2 to 3 spoonfuls of nourishment per day.
(3)(4) In the event of a reaction (such as a deterioration of general condition or increase in pain), take only half a capsule (or, if necessary, only a quarter) and slowly increase the dose over a period of weeks to one capsule per day.
(5) In the event of a reaction go back to UTILIN S normal instead of FORTE.
