Hello everybody. I would like first of all, to thank the American acupuncture consult to put up this show. And today I will try to squeeze 15 years of research experience into 30 minutes. So two minutes kind of per year, I’ve been very fortunate to do, uh, in depth research, both in the lab and with patients with actually eventually won a formula of Chinese herbal medicine, which we took all the way from clinical to preclinical studies in order to prove a one thing the Chinese medicine works, but it’s also have evidence. Uh, this, um, research was also chosen to be presented to NASSCO two years ago when there was a TCM, uh, science day. So I was lucky to present it. I called it multi targeted approach because today all the treatment for cancer is targeted, targeted towards cells targeted towards actually a specific parts in the cells or on the outskirts of the cell.
And Chinese medicine offers a very different model and a very different paradigm. Um, most of my research, at least in the recent years were done in a, the center of integrity of medicine in the cancer Institute and cheaper medical center. It’s a huge, it’s a make a hospital. It goes one by Newsweek of one of the best hospitals actually for cancer in innovation. So it’s a mega hospitality. It has like 20,000 cars per day, 1,800 beds. So it’s really big. And as you know today, hospitals serve a lot of patients coming from also from the whole region, but also patients suffering from, uh, Corona and other, uh, acute situations in our oncology ward. We have, we are very lucky to have the center, which has both a clinical part where a patient can feel like they are in a different environment, healing environment. And it’s very unique to us to have also the research part, the research part, which has a proper lab, and it’s actually molecular biology labs.
So we can go deep into the effect of herbal medicine on immune system, on cancer cells and study even mechanism of action. And as I say, I’m fortunate, uh, to be leading this project for so many years, this is by the way, how the Herb’s look. So in the lab when we, uh, um, put them in some solutions. So you can see that they have different colors and different shapes. Um, this is part of the group that is working with me, uh, including, um, we can say faintly Zoe going, um, North Samuels and, uh, actually Steve Melnick from Miami children’s hospital came and visit us. And you could see me here as well, smiling faces. So I want to start the research actually from a very deep point of view of looking at Chinese medicine, because at the beginning we took cancer patients who were undergoing chemotherapy later, we went into looking deeper on Chinese medicine, but when we look at chemotherapy and when we look at its effect in the body, we are actually going to the deepest place.
We are going to the bone marrow and in Chinese medicine, the bone marrow belongs to the kidney and it’s like the most hidden and deep part of the body is the one it produces the immune system and produces the red blood cells. Cause the bone marrow produces eventually bends the red blood cells, the white blood cells and the platelets. And so this deep production house is housed in the most deepest part and sacred part in the body, inside the bones, in the, in a sense it could be anywhere. But if we understand it from a Chinese medical point of view, we are going to very deep essence of the body. And in Chinese medicine, it is the kidneys. So we want, when we want to address a patient, especially patient and they’re going chemotherapy or RAF treatments or having problem with his bone marrow in Chinese medicine, we know we have to think about the bones or about the marrow and in if we translate it to the substances in the body, which thinking we’re talking about gene, and when we look at the production of the gene, it’s the same as Western medicine.
So Chinese medicine already 3000 years ago, going in along the same line of what in Western medicine is discoveries just in the last decades. So the production of blood, we can look at all the blood in Chinese medicine. And when we look at the production of white blood cells, we would think about the cheap and the effect of cheap. So when we are addressing in Chinese medicine, um, and when we want to protect the bone marrow and the production, and when we want to 25 unity, we have this picture in front of us, looking at the gene, looking at the blood and looking at sheep. So in a sense, we are seeing something from the outside, which now we know is happening very deep inside the body. And if I look at the herbal prescription, if I’ll make a herbal prescription for patients, I can also talk about acupuncture.
Then I’ll put some herbs like or herbs that are, tonifying deeply sorry, the, the gene together, maybe with the herb, the tonifies, the bland and Herb’s the, tonifies the cheek Lakeisha and Juan. So this will be a prescription that you see goes into a very deep layers of the body. Tonifies the production house and also it’s product. And that’s unique about Chinese medicine. And that’s what unique about making a herbal formula rather than using one herb or even using one active ingredient, which is the common process in Western medicine and in chemistry. So when we did the research into formula, which we called LCS one Oh one, we looked at its effect on white blood cells, red blood cells, and even deeper into the immune system on neutrophils, especially in patients who are undertaking chemotherapy, that their bone marrow is suppressed. And therefore the production of the cells is reduced.
And the patients are suffering from anemia, leukopenia, and cetera. This research started more than 15 years ago. And as you will see, it has now many publication in very leading journals, medical journals in the world. Actually, one of my research will LCS one Oh two, which may be will continuing. The series was just probably three days ago. It’s a prescription that works only on immunity or mainly on immunity. So if you want to read, it was published at the medical biomed just two days ago, took about seven years. Uh, so, and by now, this formula was researching seven medical centers in Europe, in Israel and in the U S and this gives it a lot of credibility, because if you can repeat the research in different centers with different scientists, it means that whatever your findings are, they’re very valid and they’re considered more valid because if it’s one center, one place producing all the research, there’s always this question who is overlooking at the research, the results.
So by now, if we’ve kind of been involved in research in seven different institutes, um, and two of them in America. So we had the cooperation with MD Anderson, actually our last publication of LCS one Oh one, we had a cooperation with Arbor medical center. I’ll tell you in then with one of the leading oncologists there. And then we did some of the clinical work calls, not the preclinical work in Miami children’s hospital. So there was a collaboration with many different hospitals. Uh, and, uh, as I said, we were very lucky to find researchers to collaborate with us and Sheba medical center is a sister hospital with MD Anderson. So it was also helpful. This is the formula that cover researching 14 Hertz. Don’t worry if you don’t get it, it’s listed all of our research paper. And whenever you want to put dot com, you’ll find all the research that we’ll be talking about safe.
I’ll be brief on some details. Don’t worry, it’s all research published. You can download, or you can just write to me and I’ll answer questions. The very special thing that we found after we finished this whole series of research that Chinese herbal formula have multi effect. As we know it affects the immune system or they also, they, they achieve the body’s strength. It protects against side effects of different drugs. And it tells also in different research that we ran in the lab, a very interesting effect on cancer cells. But the reason I researched this formula and here is also, I can show this effect. Like I’ve put the, the Chinese herbal prescription into three different formats to show that there is a certain amount of herbs, which are addressing the protection or protecting the gene like New Zealand, Z that I mentioned before, the certain Arabs that we are considered that can kill cancer cells like band Juliane or itself.
And there is certain herbs that are more working on the immune system, like punchy, which is very known or by you, I’m using the Chinese names because I’m more used to them. Uh, and this is really where it all started because I’ve seen very good results in my clinic, treating cancer patients. And in the hospital, I was always, I got a very kind of a cold shoulder, especially from the oncologist that don’t cology department. And this was already in my previous hospital that I was working in. And I was asking, why are you so against natural medicine equals even not Chinese medicine? And always dancing was there is no evidence. And when adopted means, if there is no evidence, it means it doesn’t work because, you know, it’s, it’s a nice, safe to word to say, there is no, but evidence also is approved. So there is also more ways to eat.
But I must say that today, we have so much evidence for acupuncture and oncology acupuncture and the lecture about it. And still, you will hear doctors saying there is no evidence, so you need to read about it and find out, but that will be the very common, uh, kind of thing that, that will hear in the oncology department. They did change after all the research we have done. So we have now a total different acceptance and, and we are heard in a very different way because eventually when you bring evidence, then you’re considered when there is no evidence, you are in a different ball game, I can say. So the first research we did exactly like you do as a, um, regular medicine, double blind randomized, we took a breast cancer patient. In this example, we could have taken other, uh, cancers and they were divided randomly into two groups.
And they were given, one group was given LCS one Oh one. The other one was given placebo. That looks exactly the same. And then this patient were undergoing chemotherapy. So it’s about half year for this breast constipation. And then we compare the results, took about five years and another one year to finish up, eh, all the publications that’s the amount of time good research takes. And sometimes longer the results were quite amazing and stunning because when you look at white blood cells, so we are looking at the herbs that were protecting the bone marrow, but also increasing or helping the white blood cells activity. So if we look at the placebo, I’m looking at the one that had a, a leukopenia or under 3000 counting their blood counts. So it was 42% in the placebo, in the real one, 18%. So less than half, which means 80%, 82% of the patient, they didn’t have leukopenia.
Oh, they didn’t have reduction in white blood cells. It’s almost double, uh, if you look at it from that side on the placebo one, and the same went for a model of being under 10. So there group that took the LCS one Oh one 82%, didn’t have the, uh, the reduction in there and didn’t have anemia reduction in the hemoglobin under 10 while 52%, uh, head reduction. Well, no, sorry. 48% had reduction in 52%, not in the placebo. So see, again, it’s more than half of the women in this respect suffered from anemia. So what we are showing is that we are protecting somewhere deeper because if the red blood cells, white blood cells and we’ll be, look at the neutral fields level is protected means we are protecting the bone marrow from the damage of the chemo, and this was the results. And we published it in, in one of the most respectable, um, oncology journal.
So you can see least less than email. It’s the container and less neutropenia. All this is extremely important. And we published it in the Don cologists one of the best peer reviewed the oncology journals. Uh, so this is what we were kind of seeing that we are protecting, but it has a lot of meaning. Cause when you protect the bone marrow and when you reducing leukopenia and uh, in anemia. So first of all, people can, uh, this patient could do well and adhere to their chemo protocols so they could finish it. So they, it’s also part of the effectiveness of the protocol. They have less complicated complication that less potential secondary infection. When you have low immunity and general better quality of life for the quality of life, we did another group of people. And again, we also published it and we are showing that for fatigue, nausea, low appetite, weakness, pain, bowel function, all of this, a patient who took the LCS one Oh one and the better quality of life than expected.
Then we’re looking at the anticancer properties of the formula and republished it. And then we look even deeper. And we saw that this killing effect of cancer cells was selective, which means it was killing cancer cells and not normal cells and even the same as protection. So this selectivity means that when you use normal chemo, it will kill both the good cells and bad cells. When we were using the protective wall, we can so that instead of chemo, it is only killing the cancer cells and not the normal cells. This is like, if we go for a minute to the lab, you can see this is normal cells of a breast. And you can see on the zero to three, four, five, we take the concentration of LCS one Oh one and they’re thriving. And when we take cancer cells here, you see, they’re almost, they’re almost all dead.
So at this concentration, this one are dead, but the normal cells are alive. And the same when we go for colon cancer, prostate cancer, and later we did on a, um, and bladder cancers, lung cancers, and then other types of prostate cancer was actually also the main one. This is how we chose on the chart. And actually this is for prostate cancer. Again, you see the normal cells are reliable. Even if we go up, some of them are thriving while the cancer cells are dying. So it’s a very unique phenomenon of the selective killing. And this was even further. We shown the selective protection between when you take just a chemotherapy like Doxirubicin or five, a few, it will kill both. When we are adding the LCS one Oh one, it will protect almost totally the normal cells and helping killing the cancer cells. And this was published actually with some scientists from MD Anderson and again, a very interesting publication.
So what you saw and tell now is this protection and killing of cancer cells selectively in a, in, in vitro model. And now we look at the immunity, how the same formula affects immunity, and they always ask me, why do you need so many herbs? Why can’t you reduce the number of pallets? They, they kind of nightmare of a lab work. You know, they have so many protein apps, you have hundreds of ingredients in it, but I say, according to Chinese medicine, we have to follow this logic. And that’s why a whole formula, I call it a team can do so many things. And when we look at immunity, we can see deeply that it activates immunity, both T cells, cells and natural killer cells. This the innate immunity is also the one, which is so important to fight with viruses, but it’s also the type of immunity that kills cancer cells or mutated cells on a daily basis.
So we could have shown on human blood that we are activating the natural killer cells, even sometimes 400% more the normal. So very strong activation. What we did also through all this research is realizing that in order to deal well with herbal medicine, you need to bring it to consistency, to batch, to batch consistency. So today we are doing a very special production in order to bring it to batch, to batch consistency. We are concentrating the Arabs in a different way. We are identifying them. We are looking at their biological activity, not just their chemical activity, obviously the cleanliness, as far as residues of, uh, any toxins. And so we had to go very deep into producing something, which is reproducible for research and later on for, uh, also consumer use. So just to kind of give you a glance, we went deeper because always the concern there is interaction with chemo and radiotherapy.
So, and not a publication. We took 10 different kinds of cancer and 10 different types of common chemos. And there was no negative inter interaction in many times, even a positive one. So again, published, you can read it and everything here takes years until it comes up, but I’m very proud of it. And even also in this publication and others, there’s always oncologists. This is the head of the oncology department in Sheba medical center. But then also we have to look at Ray radiotherapy. There’s always this fear that you will use the effect of radiotherapy because you can be using like the oxygen. But we found actually that the formula is working through different mechanisms. Some of them is like ROS reactive oxygen, which is exactly the same, his radiotherapy. So when we look at the combination, when we combine the range of therapy with the LCS one Oh one, and you see the higher rate going the dosage, the more eh, killing we have for the cancer cell.
So the blue bond is only a zero, uh, formula. So it’s only a red, your therapy. You increase the dose of radiotherapy. So I see more and more cancer cells are dying, but still up to here, almost 30 of them are alive with this dosage of the radiation. But when you’re adding the LCS one Oh one, and when you’re adding them in there larger effect, you actually see a synergistic effect. And this, we also tried on almost 10 different lines of cancer consensus to show that it works, uh, on, on many different types of solid cancers. And again, a very good publication on cancer research, clinical oncology journal, one of the leading journals. So kind of to summarize all this, we need, eh, another research in summary that we published about a year ago and this publication was done with our head of the group is professor Rosenfeld from MD Anderson, from sorry, from Harvard medical school that also helped to endorse our science and to look deeper into it.
So we showed all this effect and just to bring it more to the clinic, um, I’ll show some cases how we use it in the clinic. And we have no cases that we are following more than 10, 15, I’ve even 17 years of patients. Some of them are taking the LCS one Oh one for four years for different reason. This is a classical patient. Uh, she started it when she was during treatments and then she continues, uh, also continues more for maintenance and recovery, and then also to keep her healthy during her life. So when she took it during the chemo, there was an increase in white and red blood cells and very minor side effects. This is, has repeated itself many times, by the way, this is the reason, I mean, there were the whole way of selecting the herbs. The formula was done, first of all, in there, like how can st a clinical setup?
And then when I see repeating the results in my clinic, I went to the hospital to check it with evidence-base and then to improve it and, uh, and, and prove you to also, uh, and, and this is, I think that the advantage of Chinese medicine, we see clinical results. So we start from something, we know we are proving what we know, but this proving is important and has later many implication of how we can utilize on a larger scale. Hopefully that’s my dream, that every patient will get regular therapy together with Chinese medicine together with the therapy that can enhance his quality of life can enhance and protect him from how she effects of treatments. So I can say not just Chinese telephone therapy is what we’ll call, um, today in integrative therapy. But I think Chinese medicine is deleting in the integrative medicine, both from the evidence and from what it can offer.
And the example of and a lung cancer patient who started it after surgery. Again, it was very weak after the surgery. It helped him with recovery immediately and elevation of the white blood cells. You had the throat problem and, uh, immediately got better. Uh, some patient, I think it’s, I think it’s also with him, we’ll continue to take it after. And yeah, he was one of them that was even telling me, you know, I’m like after the chemo, after the cancer, I’m on holiday, everybody around here are sick with virus. It was a few years ago, one year ago, not with coronavirus was just flu, but I’m the only one who’s not getting sick. So I think when we tonify the cheek and he was a chief efficiency and a yang deficiency, I also use acupuncture to tonify the lung. And also the point, his case, a lot of lung cancer can have also part of efficiency and some depression and feeling kind of associated with life and owning your documentary.
It will help them very deeply also on this quality of life issue. So, um, the only was telling me, and I’m keeping taking a LCS one, one. Now we call it protectable. And, um, I’m feeling better. This is another interesting case of a woman that I followed 17 years. Uh, she had a metastatic case of breast cancer and, uh, she takes it together with anti hormonal medicine. And as she started to take it two years ago, this was I’m following him around more many years. Uh, there’s a better quality of life. And also her sweat, hot flashes, sleep, everything got better. So she’s actually quite old by now still metastatic. And, um, it feels very well in her case. It was more the gene deficiency and the kidney deficiency also due to age and also due to anti hormonal medicine, which I reduced it even more, um, another case of a pretty static, eh, prostate cancer, metastatic prostate cancer took this formula for over two years in his case.
Also, we are trying to address the gene part of his, uh, uh, of the formula and of his constitution. So he feels less fatigue, better quality of life. He and I really heard it also from other prior patients. It says that they have back there, even their sex drive, the sex drive, which was reduced after chemo. And, uh, sometimes after the disease itself, because it kind of finds the gene and it kind of finds the vitality of the person. So when we use this in the clinic during treatment, as I gave an example, after helping to recover in maintenance, but also in patient with inactive disease. So usually a full dose, two dates in the tablets, I would use it like two tablets, three times a day, six tablets in full dose maintenance. Those usually have like three tablets a day. Health maintenance can be one or two tablets.
And people who have in active disease usually will be nine tablets. Like you can and make it five times more. If you want to think about the row. Herps because usually from five kilos of Moreau, Herb’s, we’ll do one kilo of powder here. We are actually concentrating in even more. So they’re taking quite a lot of herbs a day, uh, as far as quantity, but it’s quantity really matters. And that’s what we showed in the research. It’s time dependent and also dose dependent. So he really concentrating the formula very much just to finish up with the other research. Uh, there’s been quite an interesting research. This one came from Taiwan that, that followed up, uh, 729, uh, advanced breast constipation, and, uh, looked at mortality rate also. And the only two breast cancer patient who, uh, took, um, herbal medicine, um, and it followed them up.
And this was the most common herbs that they use because different prescription, we see, uh, the major three of them also in LCS, one, one, and the conclusion was following this patient, not patient who taking a herbal medicine, comparing to patients who are not taking that. Uh, they say the TCM may lower the risk of death in patients with advanced breast cancer. So this is a very interesting research, uh, um, prospective research, which compared this kind of population in Taiwan, taking her ups, comparing to the one that are not taking herbs. And, uh, it shows the effect or potential effect of herbs in even in, uh, in this respect. So just to finish up, I tried to do to in 30 minutes, I told you 15 years in 30 minutes, but I have to finish up with a dear mentor of mine. Um, eh, who was one of the, I think most of my inspirational people, as far as studying more the, of Chinese medicine and the depth of Chinese medicine.
And he kind of explains that by returning to the classic roots of Chinese medicine, we can make a truly significant contribution to the medicine of the future. And I think this is very true and the more we will see evidence of it, and the more we will see the, um, usage of it in the West and follow up, uh, the more human in humanity will benefit the better health. So just to say about, uh, how it looks when you do research and this, I heard from my colleague, one of the best researcher, a human first son, who is now himself fighting cancer. Uh, but I held it from his lecture. He says like, Gandy, first, they ignore you. Then they laugh at you.
Then they fight you when you get good results, but then you win. So I hope we are on the winning side. And I think Chinese medicine is gaining more and more acceptance. I know we are still not where we want to be, but I hope with more research of colleagues or research like this, we will help to create a significant change in Maine cancer care and this individual patient’s life. So I want to thank you very much. And again, to saying the American acupuncture consult for hosting me and especially in this days, uh, I would like to wish you the best of health and keep safe and all the very best for me. So thank you very much and have a good time.
