From the Introduction:

This handbook is intended for use by patients and physicians as an orientation and information tool describing the nature of cancer and its metabolic® management and control.

It is a composite of information, experience and theory by metabolic physicians who are widely experienced in dealing with the chronic, systemic, metabolic disease commonly called cancer.

It also synthesizes the research activities of the Bradford Research Institutes (BRI) worldwide and the cancer treatment experience at American Biologics-Mexico S.A. Medical Center in Tijuana, B.C., Mexico, the premiere metabolic treatment facility in North America.

Most elements of metabolic therapy are referred to in this book. Some experimental treatments or theoretical models not in general use have been excluded.

The material here may seem new and revolutionary because some of its concepts differ dramatically from those of so-called "orthodox" oncology in the United States.

We have developed individualized, integrated metabolic programs (IIMP) for the management of cancer based on the reality that there is no single "magic bullet” which will “cure" cancer.

We know of no instance of chronic, systemic, metabolic disease resolved eventually other than through essentially natural methods and through correcting biochemistry and nutritional elements normal to the animal economy.

We stress here that cancer is a total-body disease, not a tumor per se; that its origins are multifactorial in nature, that its control must be multifactorial in nature. We point out that we are not discussing "cures" of cancer, but rather "controls" -- for cure would mean that for all time all symptoms of cancer have been overcome and will likely not reappear. Too, cure would also mean that cancer -- which may be viewed to some extent as a natural part of the life cycle gone wrong - is completely removed from the body. It is our view that all people have potential cancer all the time -- but it is not called cancer until certain symptoms appear.

We know that the cancer patient is entering the area of metabolic or eclectic® therapy terribly confused and worried. He has little information about cancer itself, less about "unorthodox" approaches ranging from holistic medicine and herbs in general to laetrile or DMSO in particular.

Many of the physicians who will be treating cancer patients with nutritional supplements and various metabolic approaches will know little about metabolic or eclectic therapy. It is as much to help educate the clinician as it is to inform the patient that we have written this lay guide to the general concepts and practice of metabolic therapy in cancer.

The authors are indebted to hundreds of physicians and researchers around the world who, through their daily practice and work, continue to produce vital information for use in the rational, biological management of today’s killer diseases. Through the worldwide network of the Bradford Research Institutes we are bringing to publication and practical application state-of-the-art therapies and diagnostics.
