ECT Therapy - Electrotherapy
Alternative Cancer Treatment with a Future
As long ago as 1999 (No. 99), the magazine “raum & zeit” (space & time) published an extensive article about the cancer therapist Hans Peter Weber. His “electrotherapy” has long since become more than a dream of the future.
In his capacity as an alternative healer and head of the German Association for Organo Bio-Therapy (DGOB) / Institute for Organo Bio Therapy) in Cologne, Germany, he has successfully practiced, conducted research and advised in Germany, also for several university clinics, for ten years in the field of ECT (Electro Cancer Therapy), Electro Carcinoma Therapy), which is also known as BET (Bio-Electro-Therapy). The basis of this therapy is the fighting of malignant cells using electrolysis in an artificially created electrical field – a respected method of treating tumours without scalpel and radiation, which has already gained a worldwide reputation. The procedure has long since been recognised by the Russian state for its remarkable healing successes. This is increasingly being recognised by orthodox medical practitioners.
As long ago as the 18th century, L. Galvani used direct current for medicinal purposes (Galvano Therapy). After having been pushed into the background by chemotherapy and radiotherapy, it has recently returned to the public eye, mainly thanks to studies conducted by R. Pekars, because the newly refined percutaneous (through the skin) bio-electrotherapy offers an economical, low risk alternative with a high success rate.
Starting Point and Methodological Principle
Tumour development, says Weber, is the result of a long-standing immune deficiency caused by multiple influences. This has therefore to be borne in mind when beginning a treatment and the “human being as a whole” has to be treated both from a physical and from a psychological point of view. “Electrotherapy” makes use of the altered electrical resonance of the tumour cells.
According to Weber, the aim is to achieve “the intentional, fast, aseptic bio-necrosis (sterile dying-off) of a tumour or of a tumour field by means of a controlled, gradual, switchable source of direct current using electrode probes in and on the tumour tissue”. Due to the very much lower electrical resistance of malignant cells compared to healthy cells, it is possible to force an ionic transport. Depolarisation of the cell membrane comes about. Disturbances in the metabolism and in individual intercellular structures are the result. In the environment of both electrodes (cathode, anode) a pH-value shift comes about which destroys tissue; an increased ion acceleration perforates the membranes. This provides a target for the phagocytes (scavenger cells of the immune system). At the same time, tumour antigens are released and increasingly recognized by the attracted immune cells. A new formation of metastases is therefore effectively counteracted.
Spectrum and Procedure of Treatment
ECT is suitable for all tumours, which can be accessed by needle electrodes and pad electrodes and which are not electro-repellent. First, a sterile covering is placed on the part of the body to be treated, which is anaesthetised. The success of the out-patient treatment also depends on the analysis of the tumour’s nature, and on the treatment procedure which is exactly designed in accordance with the analysis. The treatment is steered, controlled and documented by computer. During the placement of the electrodes, the current is already active, in order to bind any tumour cells which may have been detached in the tumour field. As a rule, a session lasting up to three hours is sufficient to cause a gradual dying-off of the tissue.
