FDA-Approved Immunotherapy Treatment for Cancer
Quick Summary: FDA-Approved Prostate Cancer Treatment
Dendritic Cell Therapy is a type of immunotherapy that alerts the immune system to target cancer cells. Provenge is a Dendritic Cell Therapy that’s FDA-approved to treat prostate cancer patients though patients only survive an additional four months on average after treatment. Also, 10% of patients may experience very serious side effects using this treatment modality. There are cures for prostate cancer outside of conventional medicine. Some of these cures, like the Lugol's Iodine Protocol (involves a long list of supplements that are used to cure prostate and cancer and prevent it from returning) can be administered along with Dendritic Cells Therapy, chemo, or radiation if the patient wishes to work with conventional medicine, but the Lugol's Iodine Protocol works best when it is administered without conventional medicine treatments like surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for prostate cancer. Note that Potassium Iodide, one of the two main ingredients in Lugol's iodine is the nutrient substance that is prescribed to populations of people who may be at risk for nuclear radiation exposure. Cancer radiation treatments carry a risk of causing severe burns in patients, but Lugol's iodine contains ingredients that can reduce the risk of burns from radiation treatment.

If you have recently been diagnosed with prostrate cancer or any other type of cancer and you'd like to try to treat prostate cancer without chemo or radiation, consider doing the baking soda protocol, the Bob Wright Protocol, or another High pH Therapy for cancer. When my husband was diagnosed with melanoma, he couldn't get in for an appointment for treatment for 30 days after his initial appointment with the oncologist so we decided to try the baking soda protocol as a natural cancer cure that works quickly to demonstrate results. Within only 3 days, the melanoma had dried up and fell off revealing fresh, new, healthy skin underneath without any evidence that there had been a tumor there. We had no reason to even return to the oncologist at that point because my husband clearly didn't have melanoma anymore. Over 8 years later, it never returned (he puts baking soda, frankincense essential oil, Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) and apricot kernel oil on the spot daily to prevent melanoma naturally). Note that if you use the baking soda protocol or any other type of high pH therapy, you must follow the instructions and increase the patient's pH above 7.5 to 8.0 as quickly as possible and maintain this pH for 3 weeks of treatment followed by 1 week of rest before resuming another 3 weeks of treatment. Baking soda is administered with every dose of chemotherapy so high pH treatment will not interfere with chemo for prostate cancer or any other type of cancer. It is an excellent treatment to start with because it proves to patients that they can cure cancer at home without chemo or radiation. Below I provide a link to the AlivenHealthy Academy where we offer a Cancer Cure QUICKCourse that takes only about an hour to complete. In this course, we talk about Lugol's iodine, pancreatic enzymes, vitamin B17 / amygdalin, and how to do high pH therapy using baking soda:

My experience with health coaching clients is that Lugol's iodine is the most important treatment that cures prostate cancer and other reproductive organ cancers. The Lugol's iodine protocol is something that has been developed over the course of almost a decade of research and experience working with clients to create a list of supportive nutrients that help the body digest, absorb, and be able to use Lugol's iodine after a patient has been deficient in iodine for perhaps, a lifetime. If you are having Dendritic Cell Therapy for prostate cancer or some other type of cancer, please don't neglect to work with Lugol's iodine along with the supportive nutrients that help iodine work better. The list of nutrients in the Lugol's iodine protocol includes other major, scientifically proven nutrient cures for cancer including:- Vitamin B17 / Amygdalin - This nutrient's 80-90% cancer cure rate was discovered by the same doctor who developed chemotherapy at Sloan Kettering Memorial Hospital. Click here to read more about vitamin B17 as a prostate cancer cure.
- Vitamin K2 / Menaquinone-7 / MK-7 - This nutrient was found to have an 80% cure rate in blood and bone cancers like leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. Click here to read more about vitamin K2 as a cure for leukemia and as a way to prevent cancer metastasis to blood and bone cancers. This nutrient is no longer produced by GMO staple foods like corn, wheat, and soy so many people today are deficient. Without vitamin K2, the body cannot properly absorb iodine and calcium is deposited in soft tissues like the breast and prostate gland which can lead to false-positives in terms of cancer detection. Click here to read about the relationship between vitamin K2 deficiency, iodine deficiency, and insecticide poisoning.
If you are looking for information to help you decide about doing Dendritic Cell Therapy for prostate cancer or other forms of cancer, consider the use of nutrient therapies and high pH therapy as adjunct cancer treatments to overcome cancer. Prostate cancer is not a difficult cancer to treat using holistic therapies. If you aren't comfortable with doing at home cancer treatments, consider seeking out holistic cures for cancer at alternative treatment facilities like the ones that we discuss in the list at this link.

Detailed Information
Dendritic cell therapy is an immunotherapy that helps a patient’s immune system target cancer cells. Dendritic cells are messengers and one of the important tasks they perform in the body is to raise an alarm when they sense the presence of a foreign invader. Dendritic cells activate the immune system by alerting lymphocytes and other cells to the presence of a pathogen [1].Dendritic cells are found in the skin, inner lining of the nose, stomach, lungs, intestines, and bone marrow. They have the power to sensitize T-cells to invading antigens. Dendritic cells have been used as a healing therapy to treat the following disorders:
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Crohn’s disease
- Psoriasis
- Cancer [1]
Research using dendritic cells has been performed on the following cancer types:
- Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
- Multiple myeloma
- Prostate
- Colorectal
- Non-small cell lung cancer [1]

Dr. Harmon Eyre, VP of Research at the American Medical Association says this about dendritic cell therapy:“Patients’ responses are far out of proportion to anything that any current therapy could do.”
But wait...there are other therapies that can do what Provenge can do...and more.
A variety of other very promising immunotherapy options such as RigVir, Burton Immune Augmentation Therapy, Coley Therapy, or the Livingston-Wheeler protocol have had excellent results in their treatment of cancer, but these treatments have not received a blessing from the AMA. On the contrary, few Americans know anything about RigVir or Livingston-Wheeler’s research. Dendritic cell therapy likely holds promise as a treatment that could eclipse the competition profit-wise for big pharmaceutical companies should Americans become privy to the treatments like RigVir that are available in other areas of the world.
Provenge is an FDA approved dendritic cell vaccine produced by Dendreon. It has been approved for use with prostate cancer patients, but it only extends life an average of about 4 months [1][2].

Safety and Effectiveness
There are concerns that the dendritic cells don’t always provoke the desired response in cancer patients. Often, the T-cells don’t respond and if they do, they don’t end up in the lymph nodes where the T-cells could multiply rapidly if they were stimulated. Dr. Steinman of the Rockefeller Institute believes that it would be more beneficial to coax the patient’s own dendritic cells to react to the presence of cancer cells. He does this by making cancer cell vaccines that he uploads into dendritic cells [1].Clinical trials examining the effects of dendritic cells on cancer have been conducted since the 1990’s, but research has shown that,
“Dendritic cell-based immunotherapy is safe and can induce anti-tumour immunity, even in patients with advanced disease. However, clinical responses have been disappointing, with classic objective tumour response rates rarely exceeding 15% .“ [4]
A long list of side effects are listed for Provenge, a dendritic cell vaccine prescribed as a treatment for metastatic prostate cancer. Some web sites that provide information on side effects do not list the rarest, and most serious side effects that occur in 1 out of 10 people. These side effects include serious, life-threatening reactions (stroke). Patients need to be aware that these serious side effects are relatively common and may occur in 10% of the patients who use Provenge for cancer treatment. The potential benefits of this medication, which are only experienced by about 15% of the patients who are given this drug, may not outweigh the potentially negative effects.

If you are looking for alternatives to dendritic cell therapy or alternatives to chemo and radiation for cancer, consider working with the treatments that we recommend above along with using Lugol's iodine and frankincense essential oil and DMSO administered directly to the testicles (for patients with prostate cancer). This gentle therapy works very well for reproductive organ cancers (both Lugol's and the frankincense-DMSO mixture can be administered directly to vaginal tissues as well) as well as for brain cancers, blood and bone cancers, and thyroid cancers, to name just a few. It is a treatment that won't interfere with the Dendritic Cell therapy or chemotherapy or radiation in patients who are still working with these treatments, but Lugol's, frankincense, and DMSO are powerful anti-cancer agents that work quickly. Note that patients who are exposed to organophosphate insecticides or bisphosphonate medications should also take vitamin K2 at 400 mcg per day to detoxify the body and prevent the buildup of toxins in the body.

How Dendritic Cell Therapy Is Administered to Treat Cancer
Dendritic Cell Therapy is viewed as a high-tech cancer treatment and it is often sold to patients under the premise that a high-tech treatments provide the best prostate cancer treatment outcomes. This isn't always the case, of course, though Dendritic Cell Therapy may buy the patient time to be able to find a cure that will work to permanently get rid of cancer.Dendritic cell therapy begins when the patient’s blood is drawn. The treatment requires the blood to be drawn to extract white blood cells. These are used to create a special vaccine tailor-made to fight the patient’s cancer. The white blood cells are grown for 8 days before being administered [1].
Dendritic vaccines are produced by taking the patient’s cancer cells and fusing them to dendritic cells from other human donors. The dendritic cells are cultured with dying tumor cells, RNA from the cancer cell, and antigens before being injected back into the patient’s body [1].
Possible Negative Effects
Provenge (sipuleucel-T), a dendritic cell therapy approved for use in metastatic prostate cancer, can cause the following side effects:- Fever
- Chills
- Shortness of breath
- Bronchospasm/Trouble Breathing
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Loss of Appetite
- Fatigue
- Hypertension
- Increased heart rate
- Back pain
- Headache
- Citrate Toxicity – this happens when calcium and magnesium levels decrease causing blood clotting problems.
- Anemia
- Decreased oxygen in the blood
- Dizziness
- Pain
- Myalgia
- Weakness
- Flu-like symptoms
- Bloody urine
- Excessive sweating
- Involuntary quivering
- Muscle pain
- Muscle spasm
- Rash
- Pain
- Stroke [2][3]
