Breast Cancer - Cured
Women for Breast Cancer Truth

    Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen.

    I wish to thank you for your invitation, and for the opportunity to speak to such a
    distinguished and important audience. Important, because with your articles, columns, and
    comments you are  influencing, on a daily basis, the thinking of millions of Italian women.
    At this point in the history of public health in Italy, it is vitally important to get the word
    out. The scientific tools to banish breast cancer are available, but the medical establishment
    stubbornly refuses to acknowledge their existence. The result is needless suffering,
    mutilation and death for thousands of breast cancer patients.

    I want to talk this morning about the nature of cancer. There are countless publications
    available on the subject, offering a wide variety of theories and speculations. There is a
    great controversy surrounding this issue. Some claim that cancer is a genetic disease.
    Others focus on a specific pathogen, like a virus or a bacterium, as the cause of cancer.
    Again others feel that it is in our toxic environment, including electric and electronic fields,
    where the answer will be found. The strange thing is that all these views are correct, to a
    certain extent. Even stranger is the fact that the fundamental nature of cancer is known to
    us since more than 75 years, but our medical community found it convenient to ignore, and
    eventually forget this knowledge.

    Otto Warburg and his co-workers at the Max Planck institute in Germany, after years of
    painstaking research, succeeded in establishing the fact that the metabolism of a cancer
    cell is based on fermentation. The cell becomes a lower life form, as it switches its
    metabolism from an oxygen-based system to a fermentation-based one. Cancer cells are a
    fermentation-based life form, said Otto Warburg, and for that discovery he has received
    the 1931 Nobel Prize in Medicine.

    We knew this since more than 75 years. We even bestowed the highest scientific honor on
    the discoverer for this important information. Yet, today the medical community completely
    ignores this basic biological fact.

    At a meeting of Nobel Laureates on June 30, 1966 at Lindau, Lake Constance, Germany,
    Otto Warburg, by then twice Nobel Prize recipient, expressed his view in a succinct and
    beautiful manner:

    ... for cancer, there is only one prime cause. Summarized in a few words, the prime cause
    of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by a
    fermentation of sugar. All normal body cells meet their energy needs by respiration of
    oxygen, whereas cancer cells meet their energy needs in great part by fermentation.

    In every case, during the cancer development, the oxygen respiration always falls,
    fermentation appears, and the highly differentiated cells are transformed into fermenting
    anaerobes, which have lost all their body functions and retain only the now useless
    property of growth and replication. Thus, when respiration disappears, life does not
    disappear, but the meaning of life disappears, and what remains are growing machines
    that destroy the body in which they grow.

    These words should be part of the medical curriculum, and every medical student should
    be required to learn them by heart. Instead, Warburg's discovery has never been followed
    up. Today it is completely ignored by modern oncology, while legions of poorly educated
    researchers spend long hours and grant moneys peering into their microscopes, searching
    for mysterious genetic codes that define the cause of cellular corruption. Mention to any
    medical doctor or oncologist today that cancer cells are fermentation-based life forms, and
    they will ask you what science fiction novel are you reading? Yet, the Johns Hopkins
    Medical Institutions released the following statement on May 8, 2007, concerning the
    principle behind the PETscan technology:

    " Cancer cells use the less efficient process of fermentation, which generates less energy
    but does not require oxygen. As a result, the cancer cells must take in large amounts of
    glucose. The appetite of cancer cells for glucose is so great that it can be used to identify
    small groups of tumor cells that have spread throughout the body. "

    As long as oncology is permitted to ignore the basic biological nature of the cancer cell,
    and write its own version of biological science, it is no great surprise that it is also
    permitted to exercise total control over the treatment of cancer, and over their choice of
    drugs and procedures, including wholesale mutilation of women without any proven
    therapeutic benefits.

    What does the discovery of Otto Warburg, and the above quote from Johns Hopkins tell
    us? There is a simple, but vitally important fact hidden in these statements. Fermentation is
    not a lifeless chemical process. It is driven by life, by a living entity. Where there is
    fermentation, there must be a fungus or bacterium that drives the fermentation. No living
    microbe, no fermentation. This, also, is basic biology. It tells us that in every cancer cell
    there lives a fungal microbe. And this single fact explains a great deal about the nature of
    cancer.

    When we look at a cancer cell, we see a very sick cell, in which there lives a very healthy
    fungus.  A cancer cell is not a normal cell gone crazy; it is a normal cell gone fungal. How
    does fungi behave? What do mushrooms do? They grow and they spread. So does cancer.
    A cancer cell is part of a fungal colony. It has lost all connection with the original blueprint
    of the human organism, and serves only fungal purposes. The fungus is not concerned
    about maintaining the integrity of the human organism. Its only purpose is to grow and
    spread the colony.

    How does this happen? How does a microbe get into the cell in the first place?

    A cell is enclosed in a cell membrane. There are many receptors on the membrane. These
    receptors selectively permit certain substances to enter the cell, while rejecting others. The
    receptors are the first-line defenders of, and contributors to, cellular respiration and
    energy conversion.

    Some of the receptors on the cell membrane may be malformed, or damaged, even  
    deactivated by pathogens, toxins, or trauma. Also, foreign objects may attach themselves
    to the membrane. As a result, the cell cannot obtain proper nourishment from the
    bloodstream. When that happens, the cell usually dies. However, in some cases, it can still
    absorb enough nutrition to survive at a lower metabolic level. At this point, it becomes an
    inviting target for fungal invasion. It is also possible that the weakened cell sends out a
    biological signal, calling for microbial assistance.

    Once the cell is taken over, the fungus will establish control over the receptors on its
    membrane, and over its DNA, with its program of propagation. A cancer cell only has a few
    active receptors, letting through just a few substances, needed for the fermentation-based
    metabolism.

    (Here Dr. Taliano goes into some details about the inner composition and functions of a
    cell.)

    This information usually prompts some logical questions.

    Is cancer caused by a cancer microbe?

    The ever present microbic life in cancer cells is always a fermenting fungus or bacterium,
    but once that is understood, it becomes clear that this is an environment where bacterial,
    viral or mycoplasmic pathogens can co-exist with the fungus and survive. It is not
    surprising that such invaders are often found in cancer cells.

    Are cancer patients genetically pre-disposed to certain cancers?

    If someone has an inherited weakness in a particular organ, the cells at that location will
    be more vulnerable to harmful influences than cells in other parts of the body.

    Is cancer the result of genetic mutation?

    What we know beyond doubt is that cancer is the end result of a cell becoming damaged,
    sick, and finally, changing into a fermentation-based life-form. Genetic mutation is one
    process that can cause these changes. We know that the body produces genetic mistakes,
    and usually destroys them instantly. However, some corrupted cells survive, and they may
    become cancer cells. Genetic mutation probably is one of the many forms of cell damage
    that are the precursors of cancer formation.

    How does this knowledge help us in defeating breast cancer?

    It simplifies things. We now understand that cancer begins with some cellular weakness or
    damage. This may have many causes, and it may, in some cases, trigger a switch from a
    normal metabolic function to an abnormal, fermentation-based one. This lower level
    metabolism cannot survive on its own, it needs a fermenting microbe to keep the system
    going. If a fungus does not invade the abnormal cell, the cell will die. However, once the
    fungus sets up shop within the cell, that cell becomes a vehicle for fungal propagation, and
    it becomes a cancer cell.

    This knowledge permits us to stop searching for genetic clues, for specific toxins or cancer
    viruses. They can all contribute to cellular damage, but they are not the decisive factor. A
    damaged cell becomes cancerous when it is controlled by a fungal microbe. This fact has
    been interpreted by some researchers as evidence that cancer is a fungus. This is a
    confused conclusion. Cancer is definitely not a fungus; it is a vehicle, an environment,
    controlled by a fungal presence, but it is still an abnormal human cell, not a fungus. If we
    call cancer a fungus, by the same logic, we could call a patient with metastasized cancer a
    fungus.

    In the course of many years oncology formulated a business model that serves the
    financial interests of its members very well. This business model, in turn, controls the
    treatment protocols that are permitted to be used with breast cancer patients.
    Chemotherapy/radiation is in; non-toxic and selectively targeting therapies are out. They
    are labeled as dubious, unproven, and potentially dangerous.

    Cutting off the breast for preventive purposes is in. Saving the breast by precise
    monitoring and by potentiated non-toxic treatments is, of course, out. Destroying the
    immune system with high-dose chemotherapy is in; using benign and highly effective
    substances that are legal and approved is quackery, endangering the patient and
    interfering with the officially sanctioned standard therapeutic routine.

    Someone may ask, why is the number of breast cancer patients growing in leaps and
    bounds? The answer is that there are more and more reasons for our cells to become
    defective, and to achieve a pre-cancerous state. Less nutritional value in our food, less
    oxygen in the air we breath, more toxins in our environment; all this contributes to the
    occasional production of imperfect cells.

    I said many times, and I will say it again: The war against cancer has been won long time
    ago; The war for an honest and morally sound approach to cancer treatment is just
    beginning.

    Thank you again for the opportunity of speaking in front of you. I wish you all a good
    afternoon.
