Abstract
A combination therapy is discussed for the treatment of cancer, which has recently been applied successfully in a case study. The general approach is based on a combination of immune boosters, digestive enzymes and natural interferones. The idea is to stage a three-prong “pincer attack” on the tumor: while the immune boosters stimulate the immune system to attack cancer cells, the cytostatic properties of the interferones inhibit cancer growth, and the digestive enzymes accelerate the transport mechanism to remove the killed cancer cells from the body. The rationale of the therapy is explained, results of the case study are presented, and possible generalizations are mentioned.
