Want To Prevent Or Cure Cancer?
The link between cobalt, vitamin B12 and cancer
by William R. Quesnell
To prevent or cure cancer you had better go to school on the
work of Dr. Max Gerson. This physician, who died in 1959, had
a 50% cure rate, even on far-advanced cancer cases, but he
didn’t use surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy.
He realized that cancer was a symptom of disturbed metabolism;
that treating the symptom was rarely efficacious; and to get at the
underlying cause the first step was to detoxify the whole body.
That first step was a series of coffee enemas given every four
hours to dilate bile ducts, which facilitate excretion of toxic
cancer breakdown products by the liver and the removal of toxic
products from blood across the wall of the colon.
Gerson understood that liver activity was tied into all aspects of
human physiology. Not only does it filter out toxins from the
body, it transforms them so they can enter into the bile ducts,
and can thus be eliminated with the bile.
The liver also works interdependently with the pancreas and
stomach in the production of trypsin, pepsin, and lipase, the
digestive enzymes. The liver has many, many more very
important functions. One of them is the reactivation of oxidizing
enzymes that are at a low level of function in cancer patients.
Gerson knew that cancer cells thrive in a low oxygen, low
potassium condition—an anaerobic environment. When he took
away the conditions that cancer needs to continue to live, by
providing the malignant cells with a high level of potassium and
oxidizing enzymes to absorb, the cells died by themselves.
Through trial and error he learned he had to add the mineral
iodine to help the liver and the whole body restore its cellular
level of the mineral potassium.
He observed that in advanced cases the liver went to hell in a
hand basket. Therefore he had to restore the function of the
liver--the tissue and the function of the liver.
To that end he gave his patients liver injections, and as most of
them needed an increase in their red blood cell count, he added
some vitamin B12. They received 3 cc of crude liver extract
together with 100 mcg of B12.
When Gerson learned that our fruit and vegetables no longer
provide a normal content of the mineral potassium, and not
enough of the oxidizing enzymes, he looked for the best source
of potassium in the best composition and the best supply of
oxidizing enzymes.
That source turned out to be calves liver!
He gave his patients freshly pressed calves liver juice, combined
with equal parts of carrots.
He took ½ pound fresh calves liver (not frozen) and ½ pound of
carrots to make one glass of 200 cc (approx. 8 oz.) of fresh
juice.
Quoting Dr. Gerson: “The patients, the far advanced cases, get
two glasses a day, even three glasses, and they like it!”
Calves liver turns out to be a mineral accumulator, and cobalt is
one of the minerals it accumulates; and this was key to Gerson’s
success.
Humans and all vertebrates require the mineral cobalt, the center
of the vitamin B12 molecule.
Cobalt activates several metabolic enzymes. It is needed for the
production of thyroid hormone and for myelin, the insulating
material found around nerves. We require cobalt for protein, fat
and carbohydrate metabolism, and the production of DNA and
RNA, the body’s genetic material.
Indigenous bacteria manufacture the B12 molecule in the human
small intestine, primary site of B12 absorption, provided they
have cobalt and certain other nutrients to work with. The B12 is
stored in the liver and subsequently cycled to bone marrow for
red blood cell production..
Sadly, cobalt has been disappearing from the soil, and thus our
diet, for decades. Under deficient conditions, we draw down the
liver’s cobalt-containing B12 reserves.
In Gerson’s own words:
“What we have to do in cancer--a degenerative, deficiency
disease--is to refill the organs which are empty and poisoned.”
Gerson cleaned out his patients and, in his own way,
reintroduced them to the diet of their healthy ancestors—a diet
dense with minerals—that refilled their organs. And he had proof
of this.
His proof of the pudding, so to speak, came from taking tiny
tissue samples from the liver by liver punctures. As time passed
and patients recovered, their livers showed microscopically and
chemically that recovery had taken place. Cobalt content, as well
as that of potassium and iron increased.
He had given the body the nutrients it needed to mount a
powerful immune response to seek and destroy cancer cells
throughout the blood, lymph, organs, and glands.
Dr. Gerson provided interesting commentary on the patients he
was unable to save:
“The real problem arises when we cannot restore the liver. Then
there is no hope. The liver--the restoration of the liver and its
functions--are so important that some of the patients whose
livers cannot be restored die some six months to 2½ years later
from cirrhosis. Autopsies show no cancer cells in the body. They
did not die from cancer. They died from a shrunken liver.”
