Cancer
Overview
Cancer occurs when body cells become abnormal and divide without control or order. They can invade and damage tissues and organs near the tumor or spread via the blood stream or lymphatic system to other parts of the body. The spread of cancer is called metastasis.
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the US, killing more than 1,500 people a day. Only heart disease claims more lives.
Even if standard treatments have reached their limits, patients suffering from cancer in the advanced stages have treatment options.
The Issels Treatment Clinics have integrated innovative, scientifically validated therapies into a comprehensive immunobiological treatment program that has a 50 year history of documented complete long-term remissions of advanced cancer.
The Issels Treatment and Cancer
The Issels Treatment Non-toxic Immunotherapy Program is a comprehensive strategy for cancer of all types and stages.
It is a two-pronged attack and consists of:
- Non-toxic immunobiological treatments designed to attack the cancer and at the same time restore the natural mechanisms of regulation, repair and defense. They are indicated in every case regardless of the type, site or stage of cancer;
- Standard treatments, such as surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, aimed at the removal or reduction of the cancerous cells and tumors, when indicated and possible.
Each treatment program is specifically designed to meet the individual patient's needs according to a system with a long track record of success.

Rationale
Cancer patients’ immune and regulatory mechanisms fail to recognize and eliminate cancer cells. They tolerate them. This “tolerance” is due to a combination of causal factors that vary from one individual patient to the other. These causal factors lead to an internal environment that promotes the replication of cancer cells and their growth into a cancerous tumor at the site of least physiological resistance. After surgery, chemotherapy and/or radiation the underlying causal factors usually persist and remain chronically active. They contribute to the high rate of recurrence.
The Issels Comprehensive Immunobiological Treatment is designed to break through this "tolerance". It is a unique blend of non-toxic treatment modalities that have been shown to enhance one another in attacking the cancer and at the same time restoring the body's regulatory, repair and immune systems.
Evidence is growing that in addition to genetic disposition, western lifestyle, nutritional imbalances, hormonal and psychological factors, along with other immune suppressive factors such as tobacco smoking, play an important part in the development of cancer.
The criteria of diagnosing and staging are the same for every patient suffering from a specific type of cancer. However, even if the histological diagnosis shows the same type of cancer cell and the staging shows the same state of progression, every patient has his/her own individual cancer as a result from many different combinations of causal factors ranging from inherited constitution and disposition to adapted lifestyle.
Findings of modern research indicate that it is not only the type of cancer cells that determines the course of the disease, but also the extra-cellular matrix, the medium on which these cells grow, i.e. the internal bodily environment, and the power of the natural defenses against cancer.
Cancer cells develop in every human being, in fact in every vertebrate organism, according to L. Thomas and other researchers. However, not every newly produced cancer cell leads to a tumor, as the body possesses a natural defense system, an immune surveillance according to M. Burnet. An intact immune system and intact regulation of physiological cell death, called apoptosis, protect the organism from the development of a cancerous tumor. Therefore, it is of great importance to restore the natural regulatory, repair and immune mechanisms, as a part of the healing strategy, or as prevention from the outbreak or progression of the disease.
Statistical studies show that the incidence of recurrent cancer after standard treatment can be reduced considerably, if the patient takes action to strengthen the immune system instead of wasting precious time by passively waiting for the next test results.
Surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, although having made great strides in their ability to eradicate cancer cells and tumors, are merely aimed at the malignancy and ignore, and sometimes aggravate, the underlying condition, which led to the formation of the tumor in the first place.
Unless the preconditions for the growth of cancerous tumors are corrected, the high risk of disease progression and recurrence remains.
