Obviously no one nutrient can be relied upon to produce by itself the regression of established tumours, no matter how high its concentration. That can be a problem for the orthodox scientist who wants to analyze the effects of substances upon human cancer one at a time. He may never find one that works to a satisfactory extent. The design of my therapy is predicated upon the aim to influence tumour growth with a multiplicity of simultaneous attacks with natural agents that are all essentially non-toxic, each contributing towards the effect of the whole therapy. Medical science is notoriously poor at grasping at such opportunities. Yet this approach in not inherently incapable of investigation. But it is not an analytical approach. Rather, it requires me to
synthesize
my therapy by putting the component parts together. The therapy is therefore not so much discovered as invented. The steam engine could not be
discovered
because it did not exist: rather it had to be invented by constructive thought before it could be built in practice. This current problem seems similar. I cannot prove to anybody that food alone will ever either stop the growth of a human cancer or make it actually regress. The feeling that I have for the subject leads me to believe that food alone will probably perform in this way sometimes. Most of the hard data that we have, however, about food patterns and cancer is addressed to the prevention aspect. My therapy offers a diet that we know from hard data to be an extremely powerful anti-carcinogenic diet. The hope is that it will also quite strongly discourage the growth of established tumours. If it does not then I am nonetheless very confident that it can do no harm. It is a concentration of known anti-carcinogenic measures. Its justification is the voluminous world literature on the prevention of carcinogensis with foods. It is based upon hundreds of research references. A few food items on the therapy are there to support particular points in my philosophy of treatment. That philosophy implies a mechanism for the therapy. One then needs active agents that can induce the required effects and make the mechanism work. These agents are summarized in Table 1. My strategy is a seven-pronged one. I consider that you should attack the enemy with the army, the navy and the airforce all at the same time. That prevents him from fending off one attack and then preparing for the next. Moreover, because all the treatment agents are considered to be thoroughly harmless, it is quite reasonable to pile them all in at once. There is actually good support in the literature for quite widespread synergism between nutrients and phytonutrients that would tend to confirm that the multiple agent approach is valid. For example, Ip & Ganther (14) looked at the anti-carcinogenic effects of ellagic acid with selenomethionine, diallyl sulfide with quercetin and diallyl sulfide with Se-
