Dr JOHN HOLT

Holt does not claim it works every time, but it is non-invasive, inexpensive and the theory behind it is sound

In simple terms, Dr. Holt gives the patient an injection of a glucose-blocking agent (glucose is the favourite food of cancer cells). This may be glutathione, cystein or another natural agent. He then directs radio waves of a specific frequency into the infected area. Usually, the tumour cells liquefy.

The Science?

Cancer cells feed on glucose, and without the involvement of any oxygen, produce lactic acid. This is broken down in the liver to form glucose, which recycles and feeds the cancer cell. The cancer has thus taken over the parent, host organism.

When glucose is present with oxygen in a normal cell, it stimulates normal cell division. Not so with a cancer cell which thrives without oxygen.

If the glucose can be cut off from the cancer cell, the only remaining glucose will be that inside the cancer cell.

In 1973 Holt discovered that Ultra High Frequency Radio waves (at 434 MHz) were used throughout Europe to stimulate repair, wound healing and fracture healing. They also stimulate normal cell division in the presence of oxygen.

Holt thus reasoned that by using sound waves of this frequency on the infected area, the normal cells would merely divide while the cancer cells would die if they could be starved of glucose.

Therapy method

The treatment period is three weeks, five days per week

An intravenous injection of glucose blocking agents is given quickly through a vein or intravenous line. The blocking agents used are cystine and oxidised glutathione plus other similar amifno acids in their fully oxdised state. The cancer cell is ’fooled’ into absorbing them rather than oxygen. The UHF radiation encourages their uptake, the glucose is used up or ’burnt’ by the blocking agent’s oxygen and the cancer cell dies.

The treatment period is three weeks, five days per week and the infusion of blocking agent takes 15 minutes followed immediately by 20-25 minutes of UHF therapy using a radio wave machine directed at the infected area or to the whole body.

Side effects and complications

UHF causes resonance in cancer cells and this produces heat. The cancer cells re-radiate this heat (fluorescence) and even normal cells can heat up. This can cause a little discomfort.

The only other side effect is that people with thalassaemia, a rare blood disorder, cannot have the therapy as it makes them anaemic.

In 1 to 2 per cent of patients some brain glucose starvation is possible. This can be avoided by eating red meat beforehand for the methionine content.

No supplementation of vitamins A, C, E and selenium or other antioxidants is allowed as these render the treatment ineffective.

Smoking is also contra-indicated and the treatment cannot commence for several weeks after smoking has ceased.

Finally, a major contra-indication is chemotherapy. Either current or past. Dr Holt is quite adamant about this. Indeed he questions the logic, at the cellular level, of many chemotherapy ’poisons’, as he calls them.
