Logical and Scientific

This book is must reading for anyone who has ever had cancer. In America, we are told that only three treatments are available: surgery, radiation, and chemo. Anything else is considered quackery and is illegal. All three work by attacking the tumor. Dr. Issels took a radically different approach. Instead of attacking the tumor, he corrected the internal milieu that allowed it to happen. He removed the cause of the tumor. He used comprehensive immunotherapy, fever therapy, ozone therapy, substitution therapy, diet, non-toxic herbal alkaloids, in his whole-body approach to cancer. Whatever was appropriate. He removed dead teeth and infected tonsils that were feeding the tumors. And did he succeed? Absolutely! He achieved cures in a majority of cases, and he worked with incurables. This was no quack! He was a scientist far ahead of his time. This book was written for lay readers. Any intelligent lay reader should be able to grasp most of it. If you have had conventional treatments for cancer, this book can show you how best to prevent recurrences.

Questioning Cancer Orthodoxy

This book is perhaps the most important book written on cancer in the twentieth century. This is because Josef Issels demonstrated in his Cancer Clinic in Bavaria the most successful results ever achieved with late stage cancer patients (16.6% five-year survival and 15% fifteen-year survival - more than 5 times better than any orthodox therapy before or since.Recent evidence continues to question the current paradigm that cancer is a local disease that later spreads. Issels instead saw cancer as a systemic disease that in its later stages showed observable symptoms, the tumours. Treating the tumours was therefore a waste of time unless the cause was tackled. He saw the causes as many, including physical, emotional and spiritual so he tackled all possibilities with dedication and a caring approach. The only contributing factor he apprently underestimated was the emotions. Four well-run randomised trials have since shown that simply tackling the emotional causes can have dramatic results, typically 50-70% increased survival times. But his Wholebody-therapy he used in the 1960s has still not been matched by any of the other alternative cancer therapists since. The book gives a history of the treatment of cancer over the past few thousands of years and goes into a lot of well-documented factors that make up his total treatment. For those who want to understand the cancer process this book is essential reading.
