Introduction

This page is an archived commentary on the naturopathic
approaches that Alpha Omega Labs discussed in connection
with
breast cancer from the early 1990's onward.
It is kept for historical reference only and is not medical advice.
Breast cancer should be diagnosed and treated by a qualified physician.

The commentary touched on three
broad areas: internal (systemic), external (preparations that are topically applied),
and psychosomatic issues.

Escharotics (i.e. black salve) are corrosive, can be very painful,
and can damage healthy tissue and cause scarring. Applying
them topically on breast cancer is not recommended. Background
on the salve itself is on the
Cansema Black Salve page.

The botanical products
below were the ones most commonly mentioned in this commentary:
- Cansema (Amazon) Tonic III --
"Cansema Tonics" (I thru III) have been made since
the early 1990's. Herbal
tonics have been in use for centuries, and -- in fact --
"trifoliums" (red-clover based tonics) were a mainstay
of physicians in the U.S. long before pharmaceuticals
became prevalent.
- Botanical Support for Breast --
The Botanical Support line is a combination of botanical formulas.
- Ajo Te -- The tea from this
tropical plant is widely used in the traditional practice
of the Western Amazon.
- Copaiba -- A traditionally used botanical that
is taken both internally and externally.
- Cat's Claw -- A traditionally
used Amazonian botanical.
- Moringa -- Another traditionally used botanical
and "super food."
- Pau d'Arco -- Another traditionally used botanical.
- Sangre de Drago --
A tree sap with a long history of traditional use.
Commentary on Dentistry

The original commentary also discussed dental work, particularly
root canals. See
our commentary page root canals,
along with the links provided.
Diet

Diet was another topic of the commentary.
The China Study reported, for example,
epidemiological evidence that in populations where diary products
were consumed in little or negligible amounts, breast cancer incidence was low.
For some time now we have provided a
review of books on
diet -- as there is no one
"perfect" diet.
Bio-Oxidative Therapy

Bio-oxidative approaches,
using ozone and/or hydrogen peroxide, are discussed
on our
H2O2 page.
Comments on pH Adjustment Therapy

For years, we used
HRx as a pH adjustment tool. Additionally, some
customers asked about
the Kelmun
Protocol, which is promoted by
CancerTutor.com.

In recent years, we have veered away from pH adjustment
therapy and
we explain why here.
Input from "New German Medicine"

Dr. Ryke Hamer, founder of "New German Medicine," proposed
that cancers correspond to "thought patterns" and emotional conflict.
His views are rejected by the orthodox medical community; see this
area of research.
