Protocel is an alternative cancer treatment also commonly known as Cancell. According to the manufacturer, this product can treat a wide range of diseases, including prostate cancer. However, the Food and Drug Administration has not approved this product to treat any medical condition, including cancer. Further, clinical research has not evaluated the safety or effectiveness of this product for treating cancer. You should speak with a medical professional prior to taking Protocel.
National Cancer Institute
The National Cancer Institute, or NCI, describes Protocel as a liquid that is promoted as a cancer treatment. However, the NCI affirms that none of the common chemicals found in Protocel have been proven effective in treating any type of cancer. Since 1989, the FDA has banned the sale of Protocel in the United States as a treatment for any disease, including cancer. However, you can still purchase Protocel as a dietary supplement.
Protocel Ingredients
The FDA has identified the six major ingredients in Protocel. These ingredients are inositol, nitric acid, sodium sulfite, potassium hydroxide, sulfuric acid and catechol. No clinical trials exist that specifically examine the use of these ingredients, either individually or in combination, to treat cancer.
Protocel Testimonials
The Breast Stays Put website publishes various unsubstantiated testimonials of individuals who claim to have successfully used Protocel to treat cancer. One such testimonial comes from a 56-year-old man who had aggressive prostate cancer. After trying various medically recognized treatments, he claims to have started using Protocel every five hours. He states that four weeks later, his pain had subsided and he had more energy. He continued treatment with Protocel for an additional six months, and the symptoms of his cancer continued to diminish.
Considerations
According to the Cancer Tutor website, Protocel can help treat newly diagnosed cancer patients with no fast-growing cancer and no significant spread. In addition, your prostate specific antigen, or PSA, can rise for a month or more after starting treatment with Protocel. According to the product manufacturer, this is normal and means that you should not use Protocel while receiving chemotherapy treatments. Prostate cancer is a serious, life-threatening medical condition, and you should speak to your doctor about medically sound treatment options.
