How Alan Holman got Involved in Natural Cancer Research

The following is a guest post by Alan Holman, an independent health researcher and regular guest contributor here at Exploring Infinity. To check out more of Alan’s work, head over to the podcasts section where you will find a series of podcasts that Alan has put together.

My research into “alternative” cancer treatments ramped up roughly a year and a half ago, after chemo almost killed my dad. Chemo made my dad spend eight days in the Intensive Care Unit of the hospital, where he had several close calls at death’s door. When he could finally exit the hospital, the Doctors tried to sell him on taking more chemo, but luckily my dad decided to go the “alternative” route.

I live at home with him, and at the time I had just started falling down the alternative cancer treatment rabbit hole because a favorable mention of G. Edward Griffin’s video WORLD WITHOUT CANCER on Jason Bermas’ INFOWARRIOR radio show convinced me to watch the video with an open mind. WORLD WITHOUT CANCER talked about laetrile, aka Vitamin B17. It was blatantly obvious that G. Edward Griffin was on the right track. So, the day after my dad got out of the intensive care unit, I found a list of sources of Vitamin B17, and myself and my dad began our epic journey of discovery when we hopped into the car to go to health food stores to buy products that had some B17 in them.

The first few health food stores we went to resulted in some sliced almonds … and some pessimism was starting to set in because other than almonds, no one had any of the items that were mentioned on my list. We almost weren’t going to go to the last health food store that we went to on that day. But we did, and when we stepped through that door is really where our journey really begun. When we entered the store, I showed my list to the woman who managed the store, and she immediately recognized the list. Our journey began when she asked, “Which one of you has cancer?”

That question added optimism. For one thing, it showed my dad that the list I acquired was something that another person knew about.

My dad answered her question; he said that he’s the one who has cancer. She asked where it is. He said his throat. She asked him if he ever has problems communicating how he feels which I recognized as a brilliant question because of info my friend Joanne gave me, at a yoga class that she taught which she let me sit in for free, about the throat chakra.

Then the health food store woman said, “All these products have B17 in them.” We explained that we saw a documentary about B17, and I found the list on the internet. She then hooked us up with a bag of apricot kernels and an overpriced antioxidant supplement called Oxy-5000 Forte, by a company called American Biologics. She told my dad that she had sixteen years of experience working at an alternative cancer treatment clinic down south, and she assured my dad that he’ll be fine if he takes four apricot kernels per meal, and two of these expensive Oxy-5000 Forte antioxidant pills per meal. So we bought them.

The next day, I was searching the web, and I came across an article by a health researcher named Bill Sardi. The article had his e-mail address. I wrote an emotional note to him about my dad, and I ended the note with, “If you had cancer, what EXACTLY would you take?” Bill Sardi’s reply was written as if he was very annoyed at having been guilt-tripped, but he said what he’d take. Bill Sardi said, “15,000 IU vitamin D3, 100 mg resveratrol and same of quercetin, 4000mg of IP6 rice bran, 12000 mg of flax seed oil, and sprinkle on some crushed garlic clove. Do that every other day.”

So we found all those ingredients in the local health food stores.

What Bill Sardi said to do “every other day,” my dad did EVERY DAY for about four months, in addition to taking the Oxy-5000/b17 regimen which the manager of a health food store suggested.

Within the first two months, my dad’s arthritis completely cleared up. And it hasn’t returned.

Then we got a follow up CT scan, and the doctor at the Saskatoon Cancer Centre told my dad that the two words that struck fear into his heart. The doctor said, “it’s growing.” I wasn’t in the room with him when he was given that information, but he told me that he felt really sad. He felt really defeated. He felt as if he would consider surrendering to more of their chemo.

But my dad was able to get a print out of the catscan data. He told them that he wanted the information for insurance purposes. He gave me those papers, and I spent hours using resource materials to decipher the text. And when I deciphered it, I was shocked. I double and triple and quadruple, etc, re-checked and re-checked it. It stated that all of the tumors in his body were shrinking EXCEPT the one in his throat, which was growing.

When the doctor said, “It’s growing,” he meant the one in my dad’s throat. And he neglected to mention that the many other little tumors were shrinking. He knew that the other tumors were shrinking, but that fucking goddamn deceptive asshole didn’t mention it.

So, equipped with the information that the laetrile, the antioxidant pills, and the double-dose of Sardi’s suggested mixture, were effectively defeating tumors in some parts of my dad’s body, we decided to continue as we were doing until the tumors in other parts of my dad’s body were defeated, while also researching and trying other options, in hopes that something would address the throat tumor.

So I saw a video on the internet about a promising cancer treatment called DCA. We ordered some from a company in England. They sent it to us in the mail. And my dad took it for the next four months, while ALSO doing all the other aforementioned stuff, and then when we got the next CT scan, the doctors told us that my dad’s tumors were growing. But we requested the printout of the data from the CT scan. I used reference materials to decypher it, and it became obvious that some of my dad’s tumors had vanished. That’s right, we defeated some tumors using “alternative” methods, and the rest were still shrinking EXCEPT the one in his throat, which was still growing … and actually getting quite scary.

Shortly after that, we acquired some baking soda from a health food store, and we started a protocol that I found out about on the internet. The protocol was basically to mix a teaspoon of baking soda into a cup of water that he’d drink with each meal, for a few weeks. And while he was doing that, it was the first time when my dad reported that some of the pain in his throat was starting to go away. It became obvious that the tumor in my dad’s throat was finally starting to shrink.

And by this time, I had researched a ton of different supplements, so I was asking my dad to try a variety of different mixtures of supplements, oils, etc, to see how they’d help. And that’s where I collected the bulk of the data that’s contained in my book.

But in this story, the point when baking soda was obviously starting to help with my dad’s throat was when we really started to realize the reality of the link between body pH and cancer, so we got into getting litmus paper, and we started taking seriously stuff we were hearing about 35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide. And that’s around the time when I discovered material by Dr. Leonard Coldwell on the internet, and he’s had huge success with therapies based on lowering the acidity of the body. So it was obvious that switching to 35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide would more directly address the pH issue than the baking soda, so my dad switched to 35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide … and to only do the baking soda on occasion … as well as a variety of supplementation regimens that I was experimenting with, and learning a lot.

But while he was using the 35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide is when extremely dramatic improvements began to happen. The constant pain in my dad’s throat mostly vanished. But while the tumor in my dad’s throat was depleting, the lymph node on the side of his face began getting inflammed. And that’s something that we’re still dealing with. In this podcast series, I’ve given you the information I’ve found about dealing with lymph inflammation … and the only reason why my dad’s lymph inflammation keeps fluctuating is because of lack of funds.

But anyway, when it was obvious that the tumor in his throat had shrunk a lot, we had a very difficult time getting a follow up CT scan. When we finally got the scan in August, those assholes bullied my dad into getting a tattoo — an actual tattoo — for positioning purposes regarding radiation therapy that my dad has no intention of ever receiving. Those fucking bullies at the Saskatoon Cancer Center ganged up on my dad and bullied him into getting that tattoo. They strongly implied that if he didn’t get the tattoo, then they wouldn’t show him the results of the catscan.

And of course, when they showed him the results, they lied that the catscan was getting worse. But when I saw the print-up and decyphered it, we learned that — as of august — my dad only had one little tumor fragment in his throat, and it was much smaller than before, and all the other tumors that had been all over the insides of his body had completely vanished.

So right now, we’re working on dealing with the sliver of a tumor in his throat, his inflamed lymph, and chelating chemo chemicals from two treatments roughly a year and a half ago from his body, because those chemicals can stay in the body for decades unless chelated, and they are on occasion causing my dad to lose muscles and weight.
