Video Transcript: Two Cancer Tests That Are Better Than PET Scans
Ty Bollinger: Okay, for me it just make sense that you would measure the circulating tumor cells, the circulating stem cells, because that’s the real measure of the cancer. Not, “Did you cut out a tumor?”
Dr. Bita Badakhshan: Exactly, and when I see a patient—a patient could have stage one triple negative breast cancer, both of them, but one may have worse prognosis. I check their CTCs. One of them may have an immune system very suppressed, CTC very high. She’s not going to do as good as the other patient. That’s what it tells me. I tell them, “PET scan this, that, it doesn’t really help me much. I need to know the circulating tumor cells and nagalase level.
Nagalase level tells me where your immune system is at. In a healthy patient your nagalase level should be less than one. But if you have virus or cancer in your body the nagalase level tends to be higher. So I actually started on my regular healthy patients, who don’t have the diagnosis of cancer, but have viruses in their body—measure the nagalase level. If it’s high, or higher than one, I tell them, “Your immune system is being suppressed, and then you’re going to develop cancer.”
So I prevent them. I change their lifestyle. I put them on natural, like Essiac tea, for viruses and other stuff and I measure their nagalase. Once it’s normal I say, “Okay.” You’re doing—
Ty Bollinger: So Essiac tea is one of the things that will get the nagalase levels down. Dr. Panelli mentioned GcMAF.
![“And I have, sometimes, stage fours [patients] with lower circulating tumor cells and lower nagalase and I know they're doing better because their immune system is doing great compared to someone with stage two with high CTCs and high nagalase levels.” - Dr. Bita Badakhshan](https://cdn.thetruthaboutcancer.com/wp-content/uploads/20190125171217/Dr-Bita-Bdakhshan-nagalese-levels-cancer-patients.jpg)
Dr. Bita Badakhshan: Yeah, GcMAF and Bravo suppositories we use, but Essiac tea doesn’t necessarily bring nagalase levels down, but it kills the viruses. Since viruses produces the nagalase level, indirectly you’re right. You are right. Indirectly it will bring it down. But for our cancer patient, because we may have cancer patients who don’t have virus who have elevated nagalase level.
And I have, sometimes, stage fours with lower circulating tumor cells and lower nagalase and I know they’re doing better because their immune system is doing great compared to someone with stage two with high CTCs and high nagalase levels.
Ty Bollinger: So these measurement tests, they really help you to get a better sense of if the patient is improving or not.
Dr. Bita Badakhshan: Exactly. We follow those and there is no radiation, no toxicity, and nagalase is only a hundred dollars. It’s not too expensive either for them. CTC is a little bit more, about 450 Euro or, depending, 600 Euro.
I wish that those nagalase tests were done on everybody to determine whether he or she will get cancer in the future or has this disease. Maybe it there is a problem, essiac tea should be used to prevent the disease from coming or cure it.
I had a 1.15 score on my nagalase test for my Non-Hodgkin’s follicular lymphoma. I was initially overjoyed at that score but later wondered if it can accurately detect cancer levels of NHFL. Is the nagalase test a good indicator for this type of cancer? I’ve read where it’s good for a lot of different kinds of cancer but haven’t found any information that states whether it’s a good detection tool for Non-Hodgkin’s follicular lymphoma.
Can someone tell me where this test is available in the US please?
I’ve been drinking Eissac tea for two weeks, I have it twice daily. I have stage four breast cancer. I did chemo and perception and perjeta for 18 months, now after never checking me in 18 month’s, my oncologist tells me I’ve got inflammatory breast cancer. I don’t want to do radiation and chemo. Drs tell me that is my only choice. I’m also taking baking soda and doing Budwig protocol, no sugar, carbs or glutinous. What else should I do? How long before I see results?
Hi Nancy –
Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
Unfortunately, we are unable to give any kind of medical advice. The best advice we can give you is to get a second opinion with one of the doctors we interviewed in the Global Quest series so they can give you the most appropriate advice based on your exact condition.
Please note that we are not able to select an expert for you.
We’ve created a page with the experts’ contact info as it was available to us.
Here’s the link to the actual webpage:

We do have one more resource you may be interested in. During our Live Event 2017 series, Dr. Patrick Quillin suggested contacting The Institute of Functional Medicine to locate a practitioner in your area.
If you are interested, here is the link to search for a Functional Medicine Practitioner in your area: https://www.ifm.org/find-a-practitioner/

How do I get connected with people that have squamous cell carcinoma and hope they are treating themselves.
