The tumor is only a symptom, not the disease itself. Issels insisted that cancer is systemic, a disease of the whole organism, not localized in the tumor. His immunological goals were to restore the patient’s natural resistance and to boost it with exogenous agents such as vaccines.ĭr.
He was forever looking for new and better approaches. It was always experimental to some degree-trial and error, with mixed results. He claimed a 17% remission rate, but his program was never finalized. He achieved significant improvements, in some cases, with terminal patients who had been given up as hopeless by their doctors. He removed dead teeth and infected tonsils that he believed were sapping the body's resistance. He used comprehensive immunotherapy, fever therapy, hyperthermia, neural therapy, “oxidation” therapy, ozone therapy, substitution therapy, diet, non-toxic herbal alkaloids, auto-hormone therapy, in his wholistic approach to cancer.
He did not rule out conventional treatments, but supplemented them with treatments not widely available in the United States, many of them experimental. Instead of merely attacking the tumor, he tried to correct the internal milieu that allowed it to develop. Other approaches are often considered quackery.ĭr. In America, we are offered three treatments for cancer: surgery, radiation, and chemo.
