Month: April 2018

Good morning and I hope everyone is doing well.  We thought we would share an amazing testimony from a young man who has been battling a large abdominal liposarcoma. He has personally seen this video and approved for us to use it.  He hopes that his story may help someone else facing the same problem.

We were very privileged to have him speak about his difficult journey through both surgery and multiple chemotherapy treatments. Following his first course of chemotherapy, it wasn’t long before he had a recurrence. He tried different chemotherapy drugs, and after being almost bedridden with traditional chemotherapy, he chose another treatment route.

He has been doing the ketogenic diet for several weeks, and as he states in the video, he feels better than he ever has!  He has lost over 20 lbs in abdominal girth in the last several weeks.

While there is research supporting the ketogenic diet and certain cancers like breast, colon, lung, prostate, and glioblastoma; there has been very little data on sarcoma’s and the ketogenic diet.  We are encouraged by his initial success and will keep you posted. As for right now, he feels great and we will continue to pray for his success.

I am excited to share with everyone that I will be talking on Dr. Donese Worden’s Talk show tonight called the “The Truth in Medicine”! The talk show will be on OM Times Radio. The talk show will be tonight Thursday, April 26 at 6pm central standard time.  Click on the link above to hear the talk show.  If you are unable to hear it tonight, you can always check the archives to the show.

I initially met Dr. Donese Worden at a conference and she is passionate about combining conventional treatment with advanced alternative treatments to promote a healthy lifestyle in all patients not just cancer patients. She focuses on mind, body, and spirit! She  has had wonderful results with treating her cancer patients.

We were fortunate to have her as our guest speaker for our Cancer Symposium this past weekend.  More to come on that.  We had some great talks and great testimonies from several cancer patients.  These patients have had Stage IV advanced colorectal cancer and liposarcoma and have done Extremely well on the ketogenic diet and supplements.  We will post their testimonials soon! Stay tuned!

Sincerely,

Recently, our primary focus in our Breast Cancer Research lab has been on the effect of antibiotics have on mitochondrial function. We recently published a paper called “Antibiotics Friend or Foe: From Wonder Drug to Causing Mitochondrial Dysfunction, Disrupting Human Microbiome and Promoting Tumorigenesis.” It is published in the International Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2018, 9, 182-186.  You can access this  journal online for free for anyone who would like to read it. Just click on the link above.

This commentary discusses the effect (often detrimental) of antibiotics and one of our most important intracellular organelles. The misuse of antibiotics can cause damage to mitochondria, and this damage to the mitochondria can ultimately lead to development of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. We decided to write this commentary after reading Dr. Martin Blaser’s book “Missing Microbes: How the Overusage of Antibiotics is Fueling our Modern Plagues.” This is a very good book that explains the importance of maintaining our natural human microbiome for our everyday physiologic function and health.

Dr. Blaser suggests that even though there have been significant advances in diagnosis and treatment of diseases, it seems that people just keep getting sicker and sicker.  We now have bacteria that are resistant to some of our strongest antibiotics. There is a “new plague” which includes obesity, childhood asthma, allergies, celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, etc,  Could the damage to our microbiome be contributing to these modern plagues?

In the commentary, we describe some of our data from our lab which does show disruption in the normal physiologic function of the mitochondria.

We have more work to be done…..stay tuned!

Sincerely,

Robert Elliott MD,PhD. D.Sc

I am sorry it has been awhile since my last post.  We have been very busy. We have good news with Dr. Mary that she seems to be in total remission. I have also been involved with getting some dental work and having an annual heart work-up.  By the time you read this, I will have already had my heart cath and hopefully it will go well and will not be too serious. Please keep me in your prayers.

We have a nutritionist now who has done a great job and I believe it is important to have a nutritionist with us since we are involved in the metabolic treatment of cancer. I have learned a lot, and what I thought use to be hocus pocus, I am now convinced that it is important. By combining metabolic treatment with conventional treatment for cancer and looking for trace metals that are deficient, it has made a big difference in some of our patients. Our Cancer Metabolic Center is expanding. We have a lot of patients from around the country that have failed conventional cancer treatment and that are no responding to metabolic treatment and cancer immunotherapy. It is a combination treatment and it takes a great deal of compliance in some of the treatments, but some patients have had a dramatic response.

For instance, we have a patient who has had a bout of liposarcoma who was progressing and could not tolerate any more chemotherapy. The traditional chemotherapy treatment was not working anyway and just by placing him on a ketogenic diet along with a few metabolic adjustments, he has lost over 20 lbs in the last 2 weeks. The tumor in his abdomen has gone down and he feels great and has returned to his normal activity! He is feeling great!

Mr. Jiang, who is the director of our research and foundation lab has been in Montreal at a cancer immunotherapy meeting.  He learned about some of the latest research in cancer immunotherapy and we hope to implement some of this new technology into our own research.

I want to give thanks to all of our followers and friends.  I pray that we find a pathway to arrest and prevent this horrible disease and that ultimately, we can have a tremendous impact on all humanity. By the time you read this, Easter will be over, but I am hoping that everyone has a pleasant and happy Easter season. I look forward to the spring and further accomplishments on the path we have embarked upon.

God Bless you all and pray for all of us, our research, and the impact it has on all cancer patients.

Thank you,

Robert L. Elliott, MD, PhD, D.Sc
