One of the featured doctors in \u201cKnockout\u201d is Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski, who has identified missing peptides in the blood and urine of people who have cancer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\u201cThese peptides, called antineoplastons, inhibit the growth of cancer cells,\u201d says Dr. Burzynski. \u201cReplacing these peptides can kill cancer cells without killing normal cells, unlike chemo and radiation. Plus, antineoplastons work on about 100 different genes, not just one single gene as common cancer drugs do.\u201d You can discover more about Dr. Burzynski and his new treatments in this FREE Newsmax Health video.<\/p>\n
Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez, another so-called \u201cmiracle\u201d doctor spotlighted in Somers\u2019 book, believes in a three-pronged approach to cancer treatment, one that utilizes diet, nutritional supplements with large doses of pancreatic enzymes, and a whole-body detoxification.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe medical community must look at cancer as a type of chronic disease that can be managed indefinitely, much like diabetes,\u201d says Dr. Gonzalez.<\/p>\n
In \u201cKnockout,\u201d Somers\u2019 small team of medical professionals says that despite what traditional doctors claim, chemotherapy is a dismal failure<\/strong>. In fact, they point out that only three types of cancer actually respond to chemo: testicular cancer, some lymphomas, and childhood leukemias.<\/strong><\/p>\n\u201cChemotherapy is worthless for the major cancer killers, such as metastatic disease of the breast, lung, pancreas, and prostate,\u201d<\/strong> says Dr. Gonzalez. \u201cThey\u2019ll tell you there\u2019s a good chance your cancer may \u2018shrink\u2019 or \u2018respond\u2019 to chemo. But they don\u2019t tell you the sad truth: Chemotherapy doesn\u2019t prolong life to any degree. Chemotherapy can even speed up the progress of some cancers, such as liver cancer,\u201d says Dr. Gonzalez<\/strong>.

\u201cWhen you receive a cancer diagnosis, you\u2019re more vulnerable than at any other time in your life. I\u2019ve personally had the experience twice,\u201d Somers says. \u201cMy only hope for survival was alternatives. But that was my decision, what I thought was best for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Somers acknowledges every person must consult with family members and doctors to make the difficult decisions involved in determining their best course of treatment, but it is imperative that everyone be aware of all available options.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am not a doctor or a scientist, but merely a passionate layperson, a filter, a messenger. I spoke with so many patients who are living normal, happy, fulfilled lives, and their enthusiasm and great quality of life convinced me that you can indeed live with cancer,\u201d says Somers.<\/p>\n
In the end, however, during the dark, lonely experience of having the dreaded disease, Somers says every individual must make their own tough choices.<\/p>\n
Somers concludes, \u201cI cannot make up your mind for you. I can only offer these incredible professionals who have chosen to go another way. Some are completely alternative, while some are more integrated, but all are having success, great success.\u201d<\/p>\n
