| Aqueous Liver Extract |
| The liver in this product (see Resources) is derived from raw organic liver that has been enzymatically hydrolyzed and made into an extract containing liquefied protein fractions. I recommend this supplement to cancer patients and have found it helpful in strengthening not only the liver but the entire body. It is also very useful in treating the anemia caused by the cancer itself or by chemotherapy or hormone therapy. Flutamine, a drug used to treat prostate cancer, for example, is known to cause anemia. Iron supplementation is not an option for anemic cancer patients because iron can react with hydroxal radicals and become carcinogenic. Fresh liver is used as a food in the Gerson Therapy. I feel that for very weak or anemic patients, eating organic liver two times a week can be helpful in lieu of the capsules. One capsule is equal to one ounce of liver. |

| Chlorella |
| Chlorella is a one-celled green algae food product that is highly nutritive. It contains high-quality protein (58 percent protein), vitamins (all the B vitamins plus vitamins C and E), minerals, including many important trace minerals, omega-3 fatty adds, and mucopolysaccharides. Chlorella has been shown to improve immune function in people undergoing chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. Chlorella increases macrophage activity, activates both T-cells and B-cells, and has shown antiumor effects. In addition, chlorellan, a substance found in chlorella, stimulates interferon production. |
| Chlorella is a whole food rich in many phytochemicals, some of which have been identified but many of which are still unknown. A group of elements referred to as chlorella growth factor, or CGF, are believed to be one group of compounds in chlorella that give it its health-promoting ability. Chlorella stimulates the growth of friendly bacteria, which in turn has the probiotic effect of strengthening gut flora and resisting disease. |
| Chlorella helps protect the body in its fight against both viruses and cancer. A series of studies during the 1980s showed that tumor growth in mice could be reduced or stopped by injecting a water solution of chlorella around |
