PRP – Platelet Rich Plasma and How This Alternative Disease Therapy Works

PRP is a powerful treatment used at Reno Integrative Medical Center to speed healing of injury through stimulating the immune response with T cells from patients’ blood.

First tried in 1987, this therapy has been used to speed healing in the fields of orthopedics, sports medicine, dentistry, ENT (ear, nose, throat), neurosurgery, ophthalmology, urology, wound healing, cosmetic surgery, cardiothoracic, and maxillofacial surgery.

Most commonly today, these injections are used to treat a variety of joint, muscle and tendon injuries usually referred to as “sports injuries,” but it has possible applications to many other problems. Further use is being explored for treatment of chronic elbow, hip and knee bursitis and arthritis.

Use of this technology, in injection form, provides delivery of a highly concentrated, potent cocktail of growth factors and cells, to stimulate accelerated healing.

Breast cancer survivor testimonial

If there is even one person I can inspire and help transition from fear into faith…then I am forever grateful.

After a lot of research and soul searching, I decided to go in a direction that felt right in the core of my being.

Once I made the decision and commitment of the choice that was right for me…I never looked back and surrendered to the path layed before me.

Bootcamp is called bootcamp for a reason.  One must prepare and accept the possible unknown.  We are all different and have individual situations and unique stories.  My personal experience was actually life changingin a good way.  I found an independence and strength I never knew I had.  I approached it with courage and tried my best to keep a sense of joy and gratefulness as my on going mantra.

IT WORKED! I made it through with ease.  The people, or should I say, “angels” at Reno Integrative Medical Center are extraordinary, faith-filled, loving people.  I feel connected to them, as if they were my own family.

Not only is Reno Integrative doing cutting edge things that nobody else is doing…They are constantly changing with the times and enhancing their protocol.  I feel honored to have been on this journey with Dr. Bob and his staff.

Every human being lives in the mystery of what life may bring.  To know that there are options and choices, outside of mainstream medicine, that sometimes seems to be in primitive stages,…It’s a beautiful thing.

I do, however, believe and feel there is a place for mainstream medicine and have gone that direction myself when needed.

Today I feel great and strong and in a place of peace.  To whom may read this, whatever direction you ultimately choose…try and stay positive and know that there is a gift in every situation no matter how daunting and scary it may seem.

My heart is with you,

K

Cancer “Must” have sugar to survive.

In 1931 a German physician/scientist, Otto Warburg MD, PhD, received a Nobel prize for proving that all cancer cells use anaerobic metabolism (burn sugar without using oxygen) to produce energy.  The problem (for the cancer cell) is that this mechanism is 18 times less efficient than the aerobic (oxygen utilizing) metabolism that our normal cells use.  That means the cancer cells need 18 times more sugar than normal cells to grow and prosper

That being said, it is not possible to eliminate cancer by not eating sugar.  The main reason is the brain requires sugar on the same order of urgency as oxygen.

We are able to target the cancer cells and feed them a false sugar that fools them and kills them without harming normal cells.

It is called Salicinium.

“I have a great immune system, why do I have cancer?”

This is a common question that we hear at the clinic.  Why you got cancer, is a tough one to know.  Everyone has had their share of toxic exposure both in the physical and emotional realms.

The question is,” How could cancer thrive in a body that has a good immune system?”  Cancer is a smart predator.  It knows how to hide from its enemy, the immune system.  It can chemically disguise itself by shutting down certain mechanisms in the body.

That’s where we come in.  We de-cloak the cancer to expose it to the immune system.  GcMAF is an excellent tool to expose and  DCA is an excellent tool to help the immune system rid the body of cancer cells.

Knowing your enemy is the beginning of taking charge and saying “NO” to cancer.

High dose vitamin C used along side cancer treatment

Therapeutic Effects of High Dose Vitamin C

  • High Dose Vitamin C  has an anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-cancer effect.  It is very important in preventing growing tumors from invading other tissue.
  • Natural killer (NK) cells are among the the many components involved in fighting cancer.  It is essential, however, to have large amounts administered.  Hence the term, “High Dose”.
  • High doses of Vit. C also boost the body’s ability to produce interferon, another anti-cancer agent.
  • Vitamin C reduces the impact STRESS has on the immune system.
  • Vitamin C improves hemoglobin status and in turn the oxygen supply of tissue.
  • It has also been proven to be an important component in building new collagen tissue.  This is very important in healing trauma and re-building ligaments, tendons and cartilage.

DCA and how it is used in cancer treatment

There is a DNA program contained inside every normal cell of the body called apoptosis.  This program tells the cell to commit suicide if it determines that the cell is abnormal or damaged beyond repair.  Without this program, humans would not have the ability to shed old cells for new. * The apoptosis program gets turned off when a cell becomes cancerous.

Through a series of chemical reactions, DCA re-activates the apoptosis program in what is called the mitochondria of the cancer cells.

Cancer treatment options

There is so much dis-information out there these days about cancer treatment options.  We are amazed that so few people, and that includes doctors, know of these innovative, integrative new therapies.

Cancer treatment does not have to be just surgery, full-dose chemo and radiation.

Reno Integrative Medical Center has many unique and science driven therapies to isolate and treat cancer cells, de-cloak cancer that hides from even the best immune system while at the same time enhance and build up the immune system.

We want to educate patients about options to conventional cancer treatment.  There are options.

We encourage patients to learn about these therapies.  No, they are not in the mainstream media but that does not mean they do not exist.

How GcMAF therapy and Nagalase testing work together in treating cancer

Macrophage cells are a specific type of white blood cell whose job it is to kill cancer cells.

Tumor cells release an enzyme known as Nagalase.  Nagalase degrades GCProtein to the point it is unable to become GcMAF. This is a problem because it inhibits the effectiveness of the body to fight cancer.

Since GcMAF only lives for about a week in the body, without continuous conversion of GcProtein, the stores of GcMAF are depleted rapidly in the presence of the enzyme Nagalase.  However, Nagalase can only destroy GcProtein and not GcMAF.

What does this mean?

It means that the body cannot make its’ own GcMAF. Thus, the introduction of external GcMAF through injection into the body has been shown to be effective. This keeps the Macrophage cell activity against the cancer cells optimal.

At Reno Integrative Medical Center, we utilize a blood test that can monitor the level of Nagalase in the body.  This is helpful to evaluate success of treatment.

What is Nagalase and why is it important in treating cancer?

The Nagalase enzyme has the ability to completely shut down the activity of the localized immune macrophage cell, whose job it is to destroy any cell that has been harmed or is not functioning normally.  It effectively “cloaks” the cancer cells from detection by the immune system.  This is the reason that someone can have a strong functioning immune system and still be growing a tumor.  The Nagalase blood test is a good way to check the progress of treatment.

Elevated Blood Sugar=Higher Breast Cancer Risk

bloodsugar

Breast cancer is the disease most women fear most. An abundance of published research links high-normal blood sugar levels to increased breast cancer risk.

In a recent issue of Life Extension magazine (Feb. 2013), an analysis of the scientific literature was published. Of 12 separate studies identified, nine showed an association between higher fasting “normal” blood sugars and higher breast cancer risk.

For example, premenopausal women with a fasting blood sugar above 84mg/dL, (normal range is 65-100), had more than two times the risk of developing breast cancer compared to those with a blood sugar below that number.

In another study involving more than 10,000 women in Italy, it was found that women in the highest glucose “quartile” (average 96mg/dL) had a 63 percent increased risk for breast cancer compared to those in the lowest “quartile”(average 73mg/dL) after being fully adjusted for multiple variables. The authors stated, “we found that elevated fasting glucose levels were significantly associated with subsequent occurrence of breast cancer in both pre and post-menopausal women.”

High-normal blood sugar is a leading cause of premature death overlooked by mainstream doctors today. Most people with these high-normal blood sugars are not diagnosed with diabetes, but just by having a fasting sugar above 85mg/dL, their risk of death from cardiovascular disease increases by 40 percent. This is according to a long term study of close to 2,000 people.

A large body of published scientific research documented that people with higher “after meal” glucose spikes have sharply increased risks for diseases, such as cancer, Alzheimer’s, kidney failure, retinal damage and vascular blockages.

So…what to do? You can start by reducing the ingestion of simple sugars and starches, while eating a higher protein, lower carbohydrate diet. High sugar foods are being cited as the “tobacco issue” of the 21st century. A growing body of evidence indicates this just might come true!

Use of the prescription drug Metformin (as discussed in one of my past articles) can lower blood sugar levels by impeding excess production of glucose in the liver and improving insulin sensitivity. The down side is you have to get a prescription from your doctor and most of them won’t prescribe it to “healthy” people. The good news is that close to the same effects can be accomplished by taking green tea extract, green coffee bean extract, chromium, vanadium and lipoic acid.

One study showed that consumption of 12 cups of coffee daily shows similar benefits, but then there is the issue of all that caffeine!
