Wobenzym N- Myeloma Therapy

Hi John-

I have supplemented with wobenzyme for years. I wrote the blog post that you read. I take vitamin C but not the brand you mention. I have been in complete remission from my cancer, multiple myeloma, since early 1999.

Hi Gabi-

I don’t know your specifics of course but the challenge facing all MM patients is that conventional oncology recommends not taking supplements during therapy. That being the case, I would supplement before, stop for therapy and then continue after.

CoQ10 is an important supplement to support heart health. Other supplements such as curcumin, resveratrol, omega-3 fatty acids, have been shown to enhance the sensitivity of MM cells to chemo.

Regarding you desire to get off chemo, I would go for a remission after your ASCT and then stop all therapy undergoing only non-toxic therapies.

Good luck,

David Emerson

Hi Steve-

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Carola,

I take the dosing suggestion on the Wobenzyme (3 tablets first thing and then 3 more end of day- both without food). If you have been diagnosed with DCIS and you are supplementing in order to reduce your risk of another DCIS or BC, I would like to solicit your opinion. I will email you a list of nutritional supplements and lifestyle therapies shown to reduce the risk of BC/DCIS. I am curious to read what you think about the therapies. Please be honest.

Thanks,

David Emerson

Hi Lisa-

I will email your email address now.

Hi Lisa-

It’s great to talk to a fellow Clevelander. At least I consider Solon and CF to be Cleveland. I am going to address several of your comments/questions from your email. My reply will be long too…

1) “was found to have monoclonal plasma cells. After a scary waiting period they determined that I just have a extramullary plasmacytoma. My bone marrow, blood, urine and PET scan came back all fine.”

You have a single bone plasmacytoma. This is pre-MM.

2)“I was told I need to do radiation on the spot for 4-6 weeks..” Yes, local radiation to the SBP is your best bet to remain pre-MM. Please consider an evidence-based non-toxic therapy called resveritrol to enhance the radiation while minimizing possible damage to surrounding tissue.

The effects of resveratrol and selected metabolites on the radiation and antioxidant response

I can recommend the brand and dose that I take if you would like.

3) ” as now I am at a 20-30% risk of developing MM.” This statistic is only if you do nothing to slow or prevent your SBP.

4) “am now thinking I need to add even more to the regimen to keep this at bay such as Incorporating the Budwig diet, protelytic enzymes, juicing, detoxing (? Not sure which method, this was always hard for me),”

The pre-MM cancer coaching program are those evidence-based, non-toxic therapies that research has shown can prevent pre-MM from becoming full blown MM. No guarantee of course but these therapies are inexpensive and supported by research.

5) “after being told by your doctor there wasn’t any more they could do for you has your remission protocol been devoid of chemo, and drugs?”

No, I have not undergone chemo or radiation since I reached complete remission in early ’99. The pre-MM and MM cancer coaching programs are based on what I have been doing to remain in complete remission all these years. Nutrition, supplementation, bone health, lifestyle, etc.

6) “I was thinking about purchasing your book…” The ebook “Beating Myeloma…” is mostly about stem cell transplants and MM. You are way far away from a stem cell transplant at this point.

7) “so with everything we have done and still have to do coming straight out of pocket I need to try to make every dollar we spend apart from treatment..”

The pre-MM cancer coaching program is designed to provide evidence-based, non-toxic therapies that can enable you to remain pre-MM and that are relatively inexpensive. It’s up to you of course but you will have the know-how to remain cancer-free if you choose.

Let me know if you have any questions Lisa. Good luck.

Hi Lynn-

Wow. Not sure how to answer your question. Or should I say that I know of no reason why systemic enzymes would cause the swelling you describe.

Hang in there,

David Emerson

Hi Sally-

I was first diagnosed with MM in late January of 1994.

Do you have MM? If so what stage? Any symptoms?

David Emerson

HI William-

I am sorry to read of your colorectal cancer diagnosis. Your therapies, both conventional and non-conventional, based on my personal experience and research, should increase your chances of complete remission while minimizing collateral damage.

RE your questions “My question: Would Wobenzym help me to get through radiation better? What type of dosage should I take and when?” my reply is based both on what I do as well as the info excerpted band linked below.

Me first. I have supplemented with systemic enzymes for years. Wobenzyme N for the majority of that time. While the studies are vague on the issue of healing and radiation, the excerpt below does point to supplementing with Wobeynzyme N before, during and after radiation therapy. Combined with HBO therapy you should greatly reduce your risks of collateral damage.

Please add “prehabilitation” to your pre-surgery regimen in an effort to maximize this therapy.

“Proteolytic enzymes have anti-inflammatory properties and are effective in reducing normal tissue reactions such as oral (Kaul R et al. 1999) and gastrointestinal mucositis (Dale PS et al. 2001). They function by reducing cytokine levels (Lehmann PV 1996). In one clinical study, 53 patients were given three tablets, three times a day, containing papain (100 mg), trypsin (40 mg), and chymotrypsin (40 mg). The treatment was started three days before radiation therapy and continued until five days after completion of treatment (Gujral MS et al. 2001). Both mucositis and skin reactions were significantly reduced in the enzyme-treated group compared to controls…”

Hi William hope you are doing well and are making good progress. I am wondering how does one get CBD oil. I am having a tough time finding it. CBD oil isn’t the type of oil you can by off of amazon is it? I just ordered some Wobenzym N myself cause it sounded like a must have for cancer treatment. Hope that you or someone can tell me where I might be able to get some CBD oil. My mom was given a terminal diagnosis and according to the doctors she has about 3 months left to live but I refuse to believe it cause I know there is always hope with natural therapies. I am also making Essiac tea for my mom asap. I pray that you are doing well or at least ok. Thank you. <3

Hi Jack-

If I read your email correctly you have been diagnosed with lung cancer that has metastasized (spread) to your brain? To confirm this please read the article linked below.

If your lung cancer is as described below, stage 4, I encourage you to become a cancer coaching patient. In short, your health situation requires immediate action. I encourage you to consider the full spectrum of oncologic therapies- conventional, integrative and complementary.

As a cancer coaching member our plan of action is as follows:

1) Research, identify and discuss anti-angiogenic nutrition. These are foods that studies have show will cut off blood supply to your tumors.

2) research, identify and discuss conventional therapies- your oncologist may already have recommended therapies for you such as chemotherapy, radiation and or surgery. If so, I will research studies that explain the pros and cons of each therapy. We should discuss so that you can decide what therapies to undergo. I can research and identify possible short, long-term and late stage side effects from these therapies.

3) research, identify and discuss non-conventional, non-toxic anti-angiogenic therapies. An example is “cannabinoids.” This form of medical marijuana is discussed in the link above that explains anti-angiogenesis. Another example would be to supplement with an antioxidant called curcumin.

Curcumin Inhibits Lung Cancer Cell Invasion and Metastasis through the Tumor Suppressor HLJ1

4) research, identify and discuss lifestyle therapies shown to promote your immune function, health and general well-being. Wobenzym N is both a nutritional and a lifestyle therapy. There will be several nutritional supplements that I can recommend. All recommendations are due to research showing that these therapies fight lung cancer.

If you choose to undergo conventional therapies such as chemo, radiation and or surgery your immune system will be hit hard. The stronger you are physically the better you can fight your lung cancer.

Jack, I am a long term survivor of an incurable cancer called multiple myeloma. I work with cancer patients like you who want to fight their cancer. I would be a member of your cancer team including your oncologist and caregivers.

Let me know if you would like to work together. Thanks and hang in there.

Lung Cancer Spread to the Brain – Symptoms and Diagnosis

Hi Dan-

My name is David Emerson. I am the cancer survivor who blogged about Wobenzyme N. Jessica B is the assistant director who helps me manage the website.

Yes, my daily dose as an active patient, a patient with active multiple myeloma, was higher than what I take now as a maintenance dose. As an active mmer, I took what the label tells you to take- 2 tablets, 3 times a day I think. Or maybe it is 3 tablets, twice a day. Now I only take one tablet in the am and one in the pm.
I am 55 years old. As I understand it, the aging body produces less systemic enzymes than young bodies. There are Pubmed studies, I think, that research Wobenzyme as an actual mm therapy.

Let me know if you have any questions.

thanks

David
