No, normally chemo should be processed through the liver just like any other toxins and any chemo that would happen to build up in the liver would likely do more harm than good (doctors conveniently fail to tell patients that chemotherapy drugs themselves are virtually all classified as Class 1 carcinogens). The theory behind chemo is to poison out the symptom of cancer (the tumourous cell mass(es) and eliminate the cancer before it inflicts so much damage that it kills the patient. More patients die from the effects of chemo than get rid of their cancers, usually as a result of major organ failure, and by far the most often organ failure is the liver. That is because the liver is the body's "oil fillter", except that what it filters out is toxins and waste so that they do not continue to circulate in the body or else accumulate in the liver and lead to liver damage and ultimate failure. When cancer cells are killed off, they do themselves release a large amount of toxiins, inclucing releasing the virally mutated cellular DNA that can cause further cancers.
Furthermore, one of the characteristics of cancer in the first place is an impaired liver. The great cancer pioneer Max Gerson made the observation that he never found a single cancer patient who did not also have an impaired liver. He also found early in his career that half of his patients were dying of liver failure as a result of the success of his treatment releasing a toxic load into already impaired livers which were unable to eliminate it quickly enough.
The reason to flush the liver and to also take the other recommended steps to keep the liver cleansed and help regnerate and protect it is to both keep it from being overwhelmed by toxic overload and to open up the bile ducts and keep them flowing so that toxins of all kinds, including those that may have led to cancer in the first place as well as those being produced as a result of killing off exisiting cancer cells could be eliminated properly.
A healthy and properly functioning liver and bile duct are essential to beating cancer and keeping it at bay. And I would point out that even if chemo is successful in eliminating all of the obvious signs of cancer, which seldom is the case, it does nothing to eliminate the root causes of cancer and the damage it inflicts paves the way for the return of cancer against a body whose immune system is further suppressed and whose liver is further impaired. Although I would not personally opt for chemo, I understand why many people do, and for those people I can only emphasize the importance of cleasing, protecting and regenerating the liver as well as the importance of oleander - which both potentiates chemo and greatly lessens or eliminates virtualy all side effects of chemo, and it tremendously boosts the natural immune system, which is nature's first line of defense against cancer and other serious illness to begin with. With or without chemo, my suggested anti-cancer protocol is intended to address all of the causes and effects of cancer that we know, or believe we know, so that cancer may be not only eliminated but also prevented from ever again regaining a foothold.
To me, success is not merely a five year survival, nor is it even getting rid of all signs of the existing cancer. Instead, it is eliminating cancer, never having it return, and proceeding to live a normal healthy life. And that is the success I wish for you my friend.
All the best,
Tony
In addition to cleansing the liver, I also urge you to strongly consider the other steps outlined in my suggested anti-cancer protocol to help keep the bile ducts open and flowing and help protect and regenerate the liver:
Coffee enemas - help open the bile ducts so bile and toxins can be released properly.
Coconut oil - a wonderful item everyone should take, it helps maintain a good bile flow.
Beetroot juice - is also good for the liver and bile flow.
Curcumin (turmeric) - is a cancer fighter itself, especially for smokers, and it helps regulate bile flow. Be sure to use a highly bioavailable form of curcumin such as that found at Life Extension Foundation.
Milk thistle - is a must as it helps protect the liver and actually regenerate it (as verified by the German E Commission)
Alpha lipoic acid - another liver supplement that also helps fight cancer
Selenium - a third liver supplement that is good against cancer too. Selenium is also an essential co-factor for iodine, which is an essential cancer fighter and preventer, and the best form of selenium to use when fighting cancer is methylselenocysteine.
In the Berkson Clinical Study, three women who were facing liver transplants or chemo with interferon (a horrendous treatment with very low success rates for hepatitis and cirhossis), took milk thistle, alpha lipoic acid and selenium, modified their diets a bit and got some daily exercise and restored their liver functions to normal.
