Tumor Therapy with Amanita phalloides: Benefits and Limitation

Abstract

Background: Classical tumor treatments can fail: surgeries, radiation and chemotherapy not always elongate the life span. Less destructive treatments are possible nowadays. To find and analyse the efficiency of alternate treatments, long term case reports are essential. Aim: To determine long term analyses of Amanita treatment in patients with different tumor types. Methods: Patients are treated with Amanita alone, as long as the tumor growth of cells can be retarded. Other anti tumor therapies are applied in addition, when the retardation of the tumor growth is not sufficiently manageable with Amanita alone. The treatments with Amanita are supported by application of Terebinthina laricina in intervals to eliminate Borrelia. Results: The state of a patient with a thyroid-carcinoma and a rectum-carcinoma can be stabilized for ten years with Amanita alone, until her age of 90 years. The patient cannot further tolerate uptake of Amanita. Thyroid cells start to grow, rectum-carcinoma cells grow slower. The disease state of a patient with prostate-carcinoma can be stabilized with Amanita alone for six years. Other therapies are applied from then on in intervals in addition for further six years. No chemotherapy or radiation is applied. The patient died at the age of 84 with metastases. A patient with B-cell chronic lymphatic leukemia is treated with Amanita as sole antitumor therapy for eleven years. After that period, no further antitumor treatment is necessary, the patient lives now with high but stable leukocyte count for two years after the end of the Amanita therapy. Conclusions: Amanita can inhibit tumor growth of different tumor types for a long period of time, elongation of the life span is possible. A synergistic effect of anti-Borrelia treatment is observed. Occasionally the tumor growth of cells stops without further anti tumor therapy, and no correlation with the origin can be identified.
