How To Determine How Much Cancer You Have
IntroductionWhen you are on an alternative cancer treatment how do you know whether or not it is working? Two ways are having a P.E.T. Scan or a CT Scan. However, these are very expensive and provide radiation you don't need in most cases. A P.E.T. scan is a good choice when you need to know exactly where the cancer is. But if you don't need to know exactly where the cancer is, but you do need to know whether the alternative cancer treatment you are using is effective, the Navarro Urine Test is very helpful. You use this test in the following way. When you begin an alternative cancer treatment protocol you take the Navarro Urine test. Every six weeks thereafter (or whatever interval you use) you take another Navarro Urine Test. If the Navarro score goes up (comparing a Navarro score to the next Navarro score six weeks later), then you have more cancer after the current test than you had at the time of the previous test. This likely means your alternative cancer treatment may not be working!! On the other hand, if the Navarro score goes down (especially if it goes down by one point or more in the six weeks), then your treatment is likely doing its job. A score of 50 or above, means, statistically speaking, you likely have cancer. When the score is below 50, then statistically speaking, you likely do not have cancer. Thus, for example, if your initial score is 56.2 and your score six weeks later is 54.6, then likely your cancer treatment is working. There are other factors in determining whether your alternative cancer treatment is working (such as energy level), so you may not want to rely totally on the change in the Navarro score, but it is certainly a number you should take seriously. In addition to cancer patients taking the Navarro Urine Test, even people without cancer can take the Navarro test (take note caregivers) to get an early warning that they may have cancer creeping up on them. Even cancer patients in remission should take the Navarro Urine Test every six months for 2 or 3 years after they think they are in remission. Any change in the score can help them determine if they really are in remission. Because "getting cancer" is caused by an imbalance of the immune system and the number of cancer cells, the Navarro score is very important for those in remission (note: "getting cancer" is a function of the immune system versus the number of cancer cells, but cancer itself is caused by a microbe which lives inside of cancer cells).
Determining ProgressThe ideal is to stay on an alternative cancer treatment until your score is below 50. However, an actual example of Navarro scores provides some key information. One lady had been using superb alternative cancer treatments for several months. Her Navarro score dropped to a 52. This is an excellent score and typically means the cancer patient is out of danger, but should continue their treatment. After seeing her 52, she continued to use superb alternative cancer treatment protocols for several more months. Then she took another Navarro score. It was still 52. What happened? When a person has dropped to a 52 and then continues a superb protocol for several more months, most likely they do not have a significant amount of cancer. So why might their score still be a 52? The reason is that the Navarro Urine test is a very specific type of HCG test which was designed for cancer. In other words, it is not a measure of how much cancer a patient has, it is a measure of how much HCG there is in the body. Alternative cancer treatments are not designed to lower HCG scores, they are designed to get rid of cancer cells safely. Thus, a person may have gotten rid of their cancer cells, but at the same time their level of HCG may not have been flushed out of their body in proportion to the drop in their number of cancer cells. If your Navarro score drops to a 52, then definitely continue superb treatments. But if after a few more months the score is still a 52, most like you have no cancer cells, but you still have some residual HCG in your body which has not been flushed out. It is up to the patient and their caregiver, but in this situation they likely can go on a remission protocol. If they go on a remission protocol they should obtain a Navarro score every 3 months until they are confident the cancer is gone. Then they can adjust to a Navarro score every 6 months for a couple of years.
Information About the Navarro Urine TestHere is information about the test taken from two of Bill Henderson's articles. Developed in the late 1930's by the renowned oncologist, the late Dr. Manuel D. Navarro [his son, also an M.D., currently does the test], the test detects the presence of HCG in urine. It indicates the presence of cancer cells even before signs or symptoms develop. Dr. Navarro found HCG to be elevated in all types of cancers. The test is based on a theory proposed by Dr. Howard Beard and other researchers who contend that cancer is related to a misplaced trophoblast cell that becomes malignant in a manner similar to pregnancy in that they both secrete HCG. As a consequence, a measure of the amount of HCG found in the blood or urine is also a measure of the degree of malignancy. The higher the number, the greater the severity of the cancer. Urine, as opposed to blood or serum, is the preferred specimen for the test. In 1980, Papapetrou and co-authors reported the correctness of the urine specimen to be used in HCG Immunoassay. In 32 proven cancer cases, the immunoassay test gave 31 positive results using urine while only 12 positive results were reported using blood. HCG has been found to undergo glycosylation in the liver as it travels in the hepatic circulation. Thus, the HCG molecule cannot be detected. The molecule does not undergo this process in the kidney and therefore the molecule remains intact in the urine. The test detects the presence of brain cancer as early as 29 months before symptoms appear; 27 months for fibrosarcoma of the abdomen; 24 months for skin cancer; 12 months for cancer of the bones (metastasis from breast cancer extirpated 2 years earlier). Currently, many cancer patients take advantage of the diagnostic accuracy of this test as an indicator of the effectiveness of their specific mode of therapy. Patients follow a simple direction for preparing a dry extract from the urine sample. The powdery extract is mailed to the Navarro Medical Clinic where the HCG testing is performed. (details below)
If you want more information about the tests, here are Bill Henderson's articles:
Directions for Urine Sample Preparation(Note: "cc" and "ml" are the same measurement) (1) From an early morning urine, take 50 cc (1.7 oz.) and add 200 cc (7 oz.) of 100% acetone (can be purchased from Wal Mart, a hardware store or pharmacy, but do NOT use fingernail polish remover) and 5 cc (.2 oz) of alcohol, either rubbing [alcohol] or ethyl [alcohol]. Stir and mix well. Note that you will need the ability to meaure 5 ml, 50 ml and 200 ml, and something to accumulate the items. (2) Let it stand in the refrigerator for 2 hours until sediment is formed. Throw off about half of the urine-acetone mixture without losing any sediment. Filter the remainder through a coffee filter or laboratory filter paper. (3) When filtration is over, dry the filter with its sediment. Fold and wrap in aluminum foil. Send by Priority Mail International or a faster way if you desire (e.g. FedEx) (the address is listed below) including a Xerox copy of the money order or cashier's check (if you paid by check) with the patient's name, address, sex, age and a brief clinical history and/or diagnosis. Also, be SURE to include your e-mail address. This will speed up your receipt of the results by at least 4-6 weeks. (4) PRECAUTION: No sexual contact for 12 days for female patients before collecting the urine sample. For males, no sexual contact for 18-24 hours before collecting the urine sample. DO NOT SEND URINE IF THE PATIENT IS PREGNANT.
Here is the clinic instructions for preparing the sample:
Paying For and Sending the Urine TestThere are two ways to pay for the test, which costs $50. The first method is to use their website and pay online and the second way is to send a cashier's check to an address in the United States and then include a copy of the cashier's check with the urine sample.
The website they use for payment is this:
The optional method is to send a check for $50 to a U.S. address and then include a Xerox copy of the money order or cashier's check in the package you send to the Philippines. Here is the address: To send the urine sample itself, put it in a padded envelope and mark it "Dry Urine Sample." Then send it by "Priority Mail International" (or a faster method if you wish to pay for it) directly to the Philippines. It costs about $25.00 for shipment and takes about 5-6 days to get there. If you include your e-mail address with the sample, you will get the results in about 7 days. Without the email address allow 4-6 weeks for test result delivery if they have to be sent to the USA, Canada or Europe. Fed Ex costs over $47 and regular mail takes forever.
Here is the addresss of the clinic (where you send the sample):
A Different HCG TestThis is a second option to use for determining how much cancer you have. The score of the Navarro Urine Test and the score of this test cannot be compared!!!
Dr. Emil K. Schandl in Florida has developed a panel of 7 blood tests, including the HCG test (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin), which he calls his "Cancer Profile." The panel of blood tests is said to have about a 93% accuracy in stating whether a person has cancer or not, even very early, and costs about $300 to get all 7 tests.
