Case 1: Colon cancer undetected by lab tests but found through F&T Analysis in minutes
 |
|
L. Ross, 53-year-old DC from FL, saw Dr. Chi at a convention and was found to have a high risk of colon cancer through Fingernail and Tongue (F&T) analysis. He had a big cyst on his frenulum (Figure 1); he had no lunulae; and there was a black line on his nail. That time he took CFC, which he believes is the best formula for bowel movement problems, for 3 months. Three years later, he felt severe pain in the lower left abdominal area near the groin. His physician told him it might be due to his weight and advised him to lose weight. He lost 30 lbs in 5 months but still the pain persisted. The physician then recommended some outpatient tests, including a 6-hour procedure. All in all, he spent about $12,500 with no conclusive results. All they gave him were 2 Tylenol capsules for the pain, which didn’t help at all. It wasn't until a year later when he was diagnosed with colon cancer. Back when he saw Dr. Chi years ago, it only took a few minutes to determine his colon cancer risk; whereas, he wasted a lot of time and money on many tests before they found colon cancer. After colon cancer surgery, he started taking Angiostop, CFC, Myomin and other supplements.
Case 2: Colon cancer avoided with F&T Analysis
K. Wirtz, DDS from Arizona, flew his wife to California to see Dr. Chi for Rheumatoid Arthritis. During the consultation though, Dr. Chi saw that she had very high colon cancer risk (cyst on the frenulum, no lunulae, etc). Dr. Chi told her to have a colonoscopy immediately. Six months later, she had surgery to remove a portion of her colon and intestines, along with a high grade glandular dysplasia polyp. Surgical biopsy revealed that cancer cells were already forming. If she had waited three more months, it would have been worse. She writes: “I want you to know how deeply grateful I am to have listened to your recommendation. I am saved by this advice.” Cancer risk is high in autoimmune diseases like Rheumatoid Arthritis because typical treatments are immune suppressants, which can lower immunity. She took Angiostop to reduce the risk of the cancer coming back.
Case 3: Colon Cancer related to estrogen
 |
|
K.L., 53 y/o/f from Arizona, was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. When she came for an analysis, she had a cyst on the frenula and cherry angiomas on her abdomen, indicating that her chance for colon cancer is high. She revealed that she does have a family history of cancer (her mother died of breast cancer that metastasized to the liver). She is also too thin for her height. Furthermore, she has had baby hair on her cheeks (Figure 2) for about 5 years, a sign usually indicating either colon or lung cancer. Ten days after her analysis with Dr. Chi, she reported that she had colon bleeding. The abdominal cherry angiomas that she has indicate high estrogen (she does have a lump in the breast), which can also increase the risk of thyroid, breast and colon cancer. She is now taking Angiostop, Revivin, Myomin, Asparagus Extract and Reishi Spore Extract.

THREE FACTORS OF COLON POLYPS OR COLON CANCER
|
Colorectal cancer is more common among men and women past 50 years of age; however, there is an increasing incidence of colorectal cancer among adults younger than 50 years old. They predict that, by 2030, 1 in 4 newly diagnosed rectal cancer and 1 in 9 diagnosed colon cancer will be in this age group. Colorectal cancer starts out as colon polyps, so it is very important to detect these early and know risk factors so steps can be taken to correct the problem.
There are known contributing factors to the development of colon polyps. Correcting these factors can minimize the risk of the polyps turning into cancer.
CONSTIPATION and/or DIARRHEA – Blood in the stool is often a warning sign of colon cancer. But even if there is no blood in the stool, constipation or diarrhea can already signal a colorectal issue, especially if you also have a cyst in the frenulum and have no lunulae (more details on this later). For constipation, CFC is recommended. For diarrhea, take GI Chi and Digestron.
EXCESS BILE – When the liver produces more bile than the gallbladder can handle, this can turn into secondary bile salts, which are carcinogens. If you have bitter taste, dry mouth and bloating, these signify excess bile. Even individuals who have had their gallbladder removed still have a high risk of developing colon cancer within 10 years. For gallbladder issues, take Debile. There will be more discussion about Debile and gallbladder disease in future issues of the Chi Health Letter.
EXCESS ESTROGEN – Colon problems are related to estrogen as well. It is a well-known fact that eating red meat increases colon cancer risk. Part of the reason is that red meat is high in estrogen and this contributes to colon cancer development. Having an estrogen-dominant condition apparently increases the risk of developing colon cancer. Studies show that patients with breast cancer, an estrogen-dominant condition, have an 18% chance of getting colon cancer within 6 months (Ref: Family Practice News. Dec 2003). For estrogen dominance, take Myomin.
We have seen in Case 3 above that colon cancer is also an estrogen-dominant condition. Besides the colon markers, the patient also had cherry angiomas and a breast lump, both indicators of high estrogen level. This is also illustrated in the following cases.
L.S., 44 y/o/f, has a cyst in the frenula and blood in her stool, indicating a colon issue. She also has many red dots on the tongue, as sign of estrogen dominance. She relates that she had fibroids removed a few years back. This shows that colon issues and estrogen dominance are associated.
V.I., 50 y/o/f from CA, was diagnosed with colon cancer (CEA was initially 20) and underwent surgery for it. After the surgery, her CEA reduced to 0 (Table 1). In 2009, her CEA level started rising again. Her cancer had recurred and by then it had metastasized to her lungs and ovaries. She started on some chemotherapy treatment. In May 2010, her CEA level was 133.8. She added Angiostop, Revivin, Myomin, Asparagus Extract and Reishi Spore Extract. She also had her ovaries surgically removed. After 10 months on both the herbs and chemotherapy, her CEA level reduced to 5.9. Her lung still has a lesion, so at this point, her doctor recommended Avastin, a VEGFR inhibitor, in order to keep her cancer controlled. Her doctor also told her to continue what she’s taking with the chemotherapy because it is obviously doing well for her.

|
This case points out some important concepts for cancer patients. First, when undergoing cancer surgery, taking an angiogenesis inhibitor like Angiostop would have helped reduce the risk of recurrence. Second, this case also shows that colon cancer (and lung cancer as well) is estrogen related. When it recurred, it had spread to her ovaries and lungs. |
|
Having a 2nd-Degree Relative with Estrogen-dominant Cancers increases Colon Cancer Risk
|
|
If you have two relatives within 2nd degree who have breast, endometrial, ovarian, colon or lung cancer, your risk is very high for one of these cancers. The reason: high estrogen.
In one example, a 51-year-old female patient recently shared that she has colon cancer. Dr. Chi immediately asked if she has 2nd degree relatives with breast cancer, endometrial cancer or colon cancer. Indeed, she said that an uncle on each of her father’s side and mother’s side had colon cancer. Moreover, her aunt on her mother’s side as well as her sister had breast cancer.

FRENULUM CYST: EARLY PHYSICAL MARKER OF COLON POLYPS AND COLON CANCER
|
Colorectal cancer starts with a polyp that eventually becomes malignant. According to the National Cancer Institute, if colorectal cancer is detected before it spreads, the five-year survival rate is about 90%. If not caught before it metastasizes, the survival rate drops to 10%. Early detection, therefore, is vital.
The frenulum is that thin tissue connecting your upper gum to your upper lip. A lump or a cyst in the frenulum indicates risk for colon polyps (Figures 1 and 3) and, if other markers are present, for colorectal cancer . Having multiple lumps increases the risk. While some people with colon polyps experience symptoms such as constipation or diarrhea, blood in the stool, irregularly shaped feces and others, most cases are asymptomatic. So watch for cysts on the frenulum as an early indicator of colon polyps.
 |
|
L. B., a 50-year-old female from NY, had 3 cysts on her upper frenulum and no lunulae at all, suggesting that she may have colon polyps or a risk for colon cancer (Figure 3). Five months later, a colonoscopy found 20 colon polyps, all of which were removed surgically. One was already pre-cancerous. At that time, she started taking CFC, Myomin and Angiostop. About a year later, she stopped the supplements because her polyps were gone. Then 3 years after that, she had a colonoscopy again where they found 4 colon polyps. So she started taking the supplements again.
D. L., 58 y/o/f from NY, was determined to have colon polyps/cysts because she a cyst in the frenulum. A month later, a test showed she does have 8 colon polyps, one of which was precancerous.
R. Rozich, DC from IL, reports that he noticed a frenulum cyst on a 9-year-old boy. He asked the mother if he had any problems with colon polyps. The mother was very surprised. She said that he had 3 colon polyps removed already.
In the first two cases, a colonoscopy was able to confirm the presence of colon polyps. Sometimes the colon issue may not be detected through conventional tests, just like in our first featured story. If this is the case, looking for an early marker like cysts on the frenulum will be very helpful so steps can be taken to address the health issue immediately. This is what happened in the second featured story above. The patient had multiple markers indicating colon cancer risk and was urged to have a colonoscopy right away. Cancer cells were indeed forming already, so she was able to do something just in time to prevent colon cancer.

Colorectal Cancer Markers
|
In addition to cyst on the frenulum, having the following markers and symptoms as well point towards a risk for colorectal cancer.
- Black lines on the nails – indicates bleeding.
- Blood in the stool – increased risk for esophageal, colorectal and stomach cancer.
- Less or no lunulae (white half moons on the base of nails) – Most cancer patients have lunulae only on their thumbs, not on the other nails.
- Soft, light-colored hair on the cheeks of adults (Figure 2) – If there is sudden growth of this, it can indicate either colon or lung cancer risk
Although colorectal cancer is more common in people over 50, more and more cases of colon polyps are seen in people under 40. This is perhaps due to diet as well as environmental factors that increase risk factors such as estrogen dominance.
If you have colon polyps that are benign, you still have to address them because there is a chance they may become cancerous later. Also, once you have colon polyps or colon cancer removed, do not become complacent; they may still recur.
Inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s disease and Ulcerative colitis also increase the risk for developing colorectal cancer. Details about these diseases will be discussed in the next newsletter issue.
So when you see a cyst on the frenulum, start treatment promptly, especially when there is also blood in the stool because bleeding indicates increased risk for cancer. If you have to undergo a colonoscopy or any invasive procedure, be sure to take Angiostop about a month before the procedure. This will reduce the risk of spreading the cancer if it is already malignant and it will also help reduce recurrence. |

COLONOSCOPIES: MISSED DIAGNOSES AND INCREASED RISK OF SPREAD/RECURRENCE
|
|
A colonoscopy (recommended at age 50 and over) is often used to detect colon abnormalities; however, there are risks involved as well as missed diagnoses.
In one case, for example, a 39-year-old male had a colonoscopy and found no abnormalities. A year later, another colonoscopy found a 4.1-cm tumor.
Another patient in his 50s was found to have two colon polyps. Three years later, a colonoscopy revealed that he actually had a total of 4 colon polyps, one of which was 1.5 cm, apparently missed on the first colonoscopy.
These cases show that we cannot always rely on colonoscopies to detect abnormalities in the colon. Furthermore, unless a person is experiencing symptoms, a colonoscopy is not recommended until after 50 years old.
Polyps also take years to develop so they are easy to miss in a colonoscopy. A 1-cm polyp takes about 5 years to grow, so in the first case, a colonoscopy should have detected the 4.1-cm tumor well before it grew to that size. So this means that the man’s tumor was already growing undetected at the time of his first colonoscopy. Similarly, in the second case, the 1.5-cm colon polyp should have been detected already on the first colonoscopy but it was missed that time.
Besides missed diagnosis, there is also an increased risk of recurrence and spread of cancerous cells with colonoscopies or any invasive procedure. This is because angiogenesis is promoted during these procedures. To reduce this risk, take Angiostop, an angiogenesis inhibitor, a month before a colonoscopy, endoscopy, biopsy or any invasive procedure. |
|
NONINVASIVE DETECTION OF COLON POLYPS
|
Because of the many cases of missed diagnoses with colonoscopies, the use of noninvasive F&T analysis to detect colon problems early is beneficial. We now know that the presence of frenula cysts correlates to colon polyps, even in the absence of symptoms. If you also have missing or no lunulae or have blood in the stool, you are at an increased risk for colorectal cancer.
Once you find out that you have colon polyps or if you have risk factors for it, start taking CFC, Debile and Myomin. |

MANAGING COLON POLYPS NATURALLY WITH CFC, DEBILE, MYOMIN
|
|
|
CFC for Bowel Regularity, Colon Detoxification
|
CFC is a natural colon detoxifier. It is a glucose mannose polysaccharide that cannot be broken down in the stomach by amylases. It absorbs water and expands 50 to 100 times its original volume to a homogenous gel composition of pH 7 to 8. The increased volume then sends a signal to the brain to trigger intestinal muscle contraction, leading to bowel movement.
Some of the functions of CFC include:
- It promotes bowel regularity
- It adjusts intestinal pH and promotes the growth of good bacteria such as lactose bacillus and acidophilus
- It coats intestinal mucosa to prevent re-absorption of toxins and carcinogens.
Indoles, nitrates, and bile salts are some of the toxic bodily wastes that are excreted through bowel movements. When a person is constipated, these toxic substances are absorbed into the mucosal membrane of the intestines, causing it to be inflamed and damaged. Eventually polyps can develop with chronic constipation. The gel-like mixture of CFC are quickly moved through the intestines and excreted. This action prevents toxic re-absorption and helps to reduce the risk of colon cancer.
In one clinical study in 47 cases of constipation, CFC improved bowel movement frequency by more than 50% in 6 weeks (Table 2). Prior to CFC, the average number of bowel movements was every 3.33 days. While CFC was taken during the 6-week study, this improved to every 1.6 days. Even after CFC was stopped, their bowel frequency maintained regularly every 1.84 days.
This effect was also seen in the following case of severe constipation.
C.B. is a 29-year-old female from California who relied on colonics twice a week for bowel movements. Her constipation was so severe that she hasn't had a bowel movement for 15 months without the help of colonics or other agents. She decided to try CFC with Asparagus Extract. On her first day, she took 15 capsules of CFC and had a bowel movement on her own without colonics. Eventually she was able to decrease her dosage because her bowel movements became regular. |

Debile for Excess Bile and Gallbladder problem
|
|
If the gallbladder, the storage for bile, cannot handle the excess bile, it gets accumulated in the colon or small intestines instead. This becomes secondary bile salts which are carcinogenic and can increase the risk for colon cancer. Even those who have had their gallbladder removed still have a high chance of developing colon cancer within 10 years.
Debile is a combination of herbs that promotes bile output, increases gallbladder contractility, reduces the size of gallstones, and alleviates biliary pain and other associated gallbladder symptoms. For gallstones caused by an infection, add Kidney Chi.
More details about Debile will be discussed in a future newsletter.

Myomin for Excess Estrogen
|
|
There is some correlation between excess estrogen and the development of abnormal growths in the colon. In fact, one study showed that females with breast cancer (an estrogen-dominant condition) have an 18% chance of getting colon cancer within 6 months.
Myomin can help correct estrogen excess. It is a natural aromatase reducer and regulates estrogen level by blocking the conversion of androgens into the two most potent forms of estrogen: estrone and estradiol. As the following cases illustrate, colon polyps may also be mediated by estrogen and are reduced by Myomin.
J. Stickel, DC from Iowa, has a female patient with colon polyps and myoma, an estrogen-responsive disease. After 6 months on Myomin, both the polyps and myoma cleared.
S. Young, ND from Colorado, has a 46-year-old patient with 4 colon polyps (~1mm in diameter). After 6 months on Myomin, the polyps cleared.

Angiostop for Reducing Risk of Spread and Recurrence of Colorectal Cancer
|
Even if you have not been diagnosed with colorectal cancer but are at high risk for it, take Angiostop right away. Angiostop is also recommended before you undergo colonoscopy, biopsy, endoscopy, surgery or any invasive procedure. The incision/cut made during these invasive procedures can trigger the release of angiogenic factors that can stimulate growth and spread of cancer cells. Angiostop is an angiogenesis inhibitor that blocks these factors and, consequently, cancer growth. Specifically, Angiostop inhibits 4 tyrosine kinase receptors (RTKs) that are overexpressed in many types of cancer: VEGFR, EGFR, PDGFR and FGFR. Angiostop can be taken with Revivin, Reishi Spore Extract and Asparagus Extract for faster results. Also add Myomin to reduce estrogen because colorectal cancer is associated with estrogen dominance.
COLORECTAL CANCER CASE REPORTS
A 68 y/o/m smoker from CA had blood in the stool in June 2011 and started taking Angiostop for prevention. In Sep 2012, at age 65, a test found he had lung cancer and he had surgery. The surgeon was amazed it did not metastasize. In March 2013, he was diagnosed with colon cancer and two sections of his colon were removed. He never went through radiation or chemotherapy; he only took Angiostop, Myomin and Revivin to help reduce his CEA, marker for colon, lung and other types of cancer (Table 3).
 |
|
G. Farkas, MD from CA, has a patient with colorectal cancer that metastasized to the liver and lung. After using Avastin (angiogenesis inhibitor drug) + 5FU (chemo drug) for 5 weeks (3 treatments), his CEA reduced from 8 to 6.9. Then he added Angiostop, Revivin, Reishi Spore Extract and Asparagus Extract. After 4 weeks, his CEA level further dropped to 3.6. Avastin is an angiogenesis inhibitor drug that blocks only VEGFR. Colon cancer expresses both VEGFR and EGFR. Since Angiostop inhibits both, he was able to get better results after adding it.
B.S. from CA reports that her colorectal cancer recurred and spread to her pancreas and liver. At that point, her doctors had given up on her. Then she started taking Angiostop, Revivin, Reishi Spore and Asparagus Extract. After 9 months, she was already doing well. She continued to use low dose of Angiostop. For 12 years (age 69 to 80), she had a good quality of life without any drugs.
J. Blair, ND from NJ, has a 55 y/o/m patient with inoperable stage 4 colon cancer that metastasized to the lung. After 8 months of chemo, he lost 87 lbs and was given 2 months to live. Then he started taking Angiostop, Revivin, OxyPower. Six months later, the lung tumor shrank by 25% and he gained back 53 lbs. After a year on the supplements, his colon cancer was completely on remission and he was able to go back to work. |

SUMMARY
|
|
Colorectal cancer starts out as colon polyps, so we have to stress the importance of detecting colon problems early.
So if you see a cyst on the frenulum, you may already have colon polyps. Take action right away by taking CFC, Debile and Myomin.
If you also have black lines on the nails, blood in the stool or are missing lunulae, or there is sudden growth of soft, light-colored hair on the cheek, you are at an increased risk for colorectal cancer.
Try to avoid a colonoscopy, if you can, because it is associated with an increased risk for recurrence and spread. Besides, colonoscopies can sometimes miss detecting colon abnormalities. However, if you have to undergo a colonoscopy, or other invasive procedure, be sure to take Angiostop (2 capsules, 2 times daily) a month prior to the procedure to reduce risk of spread and recurrence.
If you already have colorectal cancer or are at increased risk for it, take Angiostop, Revivin, Myomin, Reishi Spore Extract and Asparagus Extract to help manage it
