Prognosticators Not worrying A feeling of certainty this

program is for them Ambulatory and able to

take care of self Patients always get worse

when these factors are not present

Page 47: Retrospective Review of a Rejuvenation Program in the Management of Cancer Victor A. Marcial-Vega, MD  San Juan, Puerto Rico April

PrognosticatorsTravel time less than 35 minutes 80% response

Travel time more than 35 minutes 20% response

Page 48: Retrospective Review of a Rejuvenation Program in the Management of Cancer Victor A. Marcial-Vega, MD  San Juan, Puerto Rico April

PrognosticatorsThe addition of ozone/hyperthermia has improved our results from an initial response of 20% in stage 4 cancer to 79%

Page 49: Retrospective Review of a Rejuvenation Program in the Management of Cancer Victor A. Marcial-Vega, MD  San Juan, Puerto Rico April

ConclusionsRejuvenation Program will yield an initial response rate of 79% in stage 4 cancer

18 month response is 36%

Page 50: Retrospective Review of a Rejuvenation Program in the Management of Cancer Victor A. Marcial-Vega, MD  San Juan, Puerto Rico April

ConclusionsResponse needs to be measured with symptoms as well as tumor regression since these always precede physical signs of response

Page 51: Retrospective Review of a Rejuvenation Program in the Management of Cancer Victor A. Marcial-Vega, MD  San Juan, Puerto Rico April

Conclusions Survival is 53% CR in 6/33 patients=18% 2/2 AIDS related cancers in

complete remission 1 CR Stage 3 lymphoma 1 CR recurrent T4 SCC RMT 1 CR Multiple Myeloma 1CR Endometrial CA Stage 4

Page 52: Retrospective Review of a Rejuvenation Program in the Management of Cancer Victor A. Marcial-Vega, MD  San Juan, Puerto Rico April

Future DirectionsDevelop a physician network in the world that will use ozone/hyperthermia

Add the use of colonicsContinuing beyond 3 weeks

Page 53: Retrospective Review of a Rejuvenation Program in the Management of Cancer Victor A. Marcial-Vega, MD  San Juan, Puerto Rico April

Future DirectionsStart managing stage 1 and 2 cancer patients with an integrated non-toxic program

Implement as part of anti-aging programs worldwide
