Cell Specific Cancer Therapy
The Center for Cell Specific Cancer Therapy, located in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, and staffed by a nuclear engineer and a medical doctor, uses pulsed electromagnetic field therapy to treat a variety of cancers. According to the center, cancer cells emit an excessive amount of positively charged ions, making them a logical target for the center’s bioelectromagnetic therapy called cell specific cancer therapy (CSCT). No other cells in the body produce such an energy signature, and different cancers have distinctively different ionic signatures.
The goal of the center’s therapy is to detect cancer cells by their signatures and destroy them by means of a pulsed electromagnetic field. This field reportedly alters the cancer cells metabolism without harming surrounding healthy cells. Since opening in August, 1996, the center has treated 150 clients and claims a success rate of 50%. However, its claims haven’t been verified independently.
Benefits And Uses of Cell Specific Cancer Therapy
The center claims that CSCT is most effective at detecting actively growing cancers. It reports having successfully treated even stage IV cancers.
How the treatment is performed
CSCT treatment consists of scanning the body and then marking the cancerous sites on a body map and on the patient. Using a proprietary electromagnetic device, called the CSCT-200, which is described as producing a pulsed electromagnetic field, the sound frequency of the cancer cells is identified and matched. The signal is then sent back into the cells, causing them to vibrate, rupture, and die. Treatment sessions generally last for 30 minutes, and are given twice a day for up to 3 weeks. The center considers the treatment successful when the CSCT-200 can no longer detect the cancer signals, and when conventional laboratory tests no longer detect cancer markers.
Currently, the Center for Cell-Specific Cancer Therapy focuses only on the scanner treatment without attention to other factors related to achieving long-term remission, such as nutrition, diet therapy, detoxification, dental work, and counseling.
Side Effects of Cell Specific Cancer Therapy
The center doesn’t accept patients who have received conventional chemotherapy and radiation therapy because it maintains that such therapies can hinder the effectiveness of the CSCT treatment. The scanner reportedly can’t perceive previously treated cancer cells that have received high doses of chemotherapy or radiation and yet survived. This is presumably because their metabolism has slowed and their ionic pattern is undetectable. These undetectable cells could recover to multiply again. However, by delaying conventional treatment, the patient risks cancer progression if CSCT fails. CSCT scanning carries the potential risk of cumulative electromagnetic exposure.
Clinical considerations
Because the center maintains that conventional treatment can inhibit CSCT, a patient may reject or postpone conventional treatment in favor of this alternative treatment, potentially risking his life if the CSCT treatment is unsuccessful.
Research summary
CSCT bases its efficacy claims on operating principles that are grounded in current scientific knowledge of cancer. Al though CSCT is considered noninvasive and nondestructive of healthy tissue, precise and objective research is needed to verify its effectiveness.
The use of pulsed magnetic fields for cancer therapy has been questioned on the grounds that such fields may stimulate cancer growth while simultaneously stimulating the immune system through a stress response. At the onset of treatment, it appears that the immune system wins out and the cancer subsides. However, when the stress response declines, the cancer may resume its replication.
